From the video it says that the N5 was out of box, did he get to the update screen?
And since he factory reset, does that not mean he just wiped the stock image?
I'm not too sure but I think reflash would do the trick.
Goodluck

Same problem

Its bricked out of the box or you too?
What all you did with the phone?
Weird!

It's not bricked if it turns on. A brick is a deadweight.
Flash stock images and you should be set.

[Q] HELP! Verizon Galaxy S 5 Bricked / Stuck In Boot Loop

Problem resolved thanks to bweN diorD!

Hey everyone, I figured this was the right section to post a question, sorry if I was mistaken.
So I recently rooted my phone and tried to install a custom ROM on it, turns out the ROM I selected was probably for the wrong model or something because my screen was just black. So I booted into recovery to try and restore it on the ROM I backed up and it was gone so now I'm kinda ****ed on a phone for now, before I look into buying a new one I wanna see if there's any way I can resolve this and unbrick it.
When I turn the phone on it just loops the booting screen and when I boot into recovery it just has the droid dude with an exclamation mark on it then turns off and does the boot loop.
I was wondering if maybe there's a file I can put on an external drive and it will automatically restore back to stock like on other devices.
I've done a lot stuff like this to my PS3 just never tried it for my phone so I'm just hoping there's a method out there for me, please provide any feedback or questions about it, I'm just trying to get this resolved and I have no time really to research it because of work and a newborn baby plus you guys would know more about it than me so yeah. Thanks!

usually when you flash the wrong software to a phone it is toast, but you may be in luck as it still turns on.
video here.
further instruction here.
if that doesnt work... well its not good unfortunately.

Alright thank you! I'm pretty confident this will work, once the stock ROM file finishes downloading, which it doesn't seem that it wants to work. I've downloaded it 5 times now and every time it's done it's a fail.. I'll keep trying though.

yeah it didn't work, did everything right but when it tries to reboot I get the dead little droid guy.

[Q] Problem with touchscreen after unrooting

Hello guys,
So... I have samsung GT-S7710 (Galaxy Xcover2).
I had it rooted with prerooted odexed FW (from this post)
So this is the OK part :laugh: .... everything was working fine.
Then, to claim my waranty, i have unrooted it...so I've reseted the counter and flashed it with FW I've backed up from my phone before rooting.
So now for the wierd part...everything was ok, booted my phone, everything was working, then restarted it, and all of the sudden touchscreen stoped working
I've read about bricked touchscreens, but mine worked for some time..
So I was thinking now...should I try and flash official FW for my phone, rather than backed up one ?
Or is there any thing else to do ? Or even...did maybe touchscreen went to *khm* ?
Thank you guys for your time you spent reading & hopefully anwsering this

Thanks for your reply, I've tried this right away.
I've tried with official version (from SamMobile)...I've choosen version for Slvoenia (my country) w/o any provider
But still no sucsess...
Odin sucsesfully flashes, phone boots, and touch doesnt work again (I'm stuck at that starting page...to chose language and so on..)
But like I've said everything else works ok, eg.: power btn, wolume up/down,... only touch doesnt work.

Sorry for the double post..
I've tried to flash ROM that I was using before (rooted one). And now touch even doesnt work in this one.
Is this maybe hardware problem ?

i think you should flash stock rom and give it to samsung maybe.. if it's in warrentee they would get it replaced i guess
hope it helps you

One more thing... I've bought my phone in a electronic store (no carier involved). Should I flash it with FW for my country ? What if phone had any other FW on when it was new ?
EDIT:
Just realised....I've flashed rooted FW on my phone...which has increased the counter of custom flashes... To reset the counter I need root permisions...but how if I cant even unlock my phone.
I probably cant use [email protected], because I've hard reseted the phone, which means that Usb debug is disabled (correct me if I'm wrong), so thats of the list..
Do you guys know if any FW has enabled USB debug by default ? Or if there is any other option ?

Are you running stock? Which version? Have you tried downloading the stock image from Asus and manually updating?

um, im so going to sound like i know nothing about technology................................................................but yes its stock never rooted nor gave any issues like this before. version, im not sure is there a way i can find that out without having to turn it on? as thats kinda not possible
have not tried dowloading anything . i just factory reset it to see if that helps....

How did you factory reset? From the Settings menu and then it started to bootloop?
Or did you figure out how to get into the bootloader menu and used the Wipe Data option there?
If you did the latter already your last option (short of sending it in for repair) is to reflash the firmware.
Here's a step-by-step that I updated fairly recently: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...e-firmware-tf700-tf701-tf300-tf101-tf201.html

anyway to find path?
if i cant get my tab on how do i know what sku to use?
trial and error?

Hold down volume down and power when powering on and it will stop on the bootloader screen. It will tell you your current version and sku in the top left.

tab working

Still Bootlooping
Hey guys,
it did come on and work properly for a while, but after installing just a few apps, i held the power button and hit resart. and well it has not restarted since.
im unsure if i did something wrong on the initial root and install. i followed the instructions step by step. grr :crying:
so? is it advisable to go back into the bootloader menu, wipe data again, and try the install again?

NO!!!
Never wipe data from bootloader or Settings with a custom recovery installed!
Do it in recovery to your heart's content but nowhere else.
I don't have time to research your story right now and no idea what steps you followed, so I'm not giving any advice right now. Maybe someone else can, I'll be back tonight...

Hi
What phone type you have G930F? what you mean " keeps trying to update itself" does it boot?
What happens when you try to flash a stock firmware?
can you get into recovery?
