Hello,
thank you for taking the time to read and try to help.
I got an Asus Padfone X from At&t and the refused to unlock it
Asus didnt help either.
not to bore you with details
but here is my noobish mistake tool form, i flashed the asus kernel .zip file to the bootloader using twrp.
now phone wont boot into recovery or bootloader
got the minimal tool which as you know include fastboot and ADB
but it wont detect the device ( it detected it before when i rooted the phone )
I made a backup before i flashed , but the problem i cant flash it to a device that wont go to bootloader or recovery
and wont be detected by ADB.
please guide this lost noob.
Hello Ultimician,
If your device cannot boot into recovery or bootloader it's a hardbrick. Flashing the wrong kernel will cause your device to hardbrick.
You probably still have a warranty, I'd go to your service provider and play dumb: "One day my phone just didn't turn on, I've tried everything even charging it."
If you know of someone that could JTAG your device you could go to them that might work, what the manufacture usually do is they replace the whole motherboard. ( What Samsung did when I bricked my device in any case.. )
Otherwise you could refer to these threads, be careful though they are not necessarily for your device. ( But they might be of help )

Best of luck mate!
thanksfor the swift assistance
thank you kindly
amazon offered me a refund
i will take my chances
Carefully when they send a device back to the maker they can often pull information.like last install and all of that. If you had a back up. I would try to flash the stock firmware. They are ways to do this with jig and other tools. I would try to flash stock every way I could before I take it back. I had s3 and bricked it long time ago.after many hours of reading I fixed it. Please always when flashing make sure it's for your device. Wish you luck2

A weird thing happened, my Galaxy Ace got Hard-Bricked after flashing a rom (i was too lazy to read instructions, as flashing roms is what i do 5 times a day!), and it couldn't go into backup/recovery/download mode. It just happened once, my PC recognized it and Odin detected it, but odin froze, so i unplugged it and repluged it, and that's when it never went in recovery mode again...
I need urgent help asap, as my warranty is already voided.
Cheers,
John Freeman
Well look here for help if it is a soft-brick:

If it is a hard brick then you need to use a JTAG service:

Good luck.
if it is still under warranty take it to the service center and tell the you are doing an OTA and your connection was distrupted. thats what I told at the service center
It should nearly always be possible to enter the bootloader of the device. So if it comes hard you can use "power button, vol down" to enter it and flash a system image directly with the fastboot tool.
Thanks a Bunch!
Thanks a bunch, guys! I sent it to a friend (she knows more about JTAG services than i do) who helped me out.
I followed instructions this time...
Thanks a lot,

Hi All, I have bricked my SCH-I925 (Verizon) And need some help.
What I have done so far:
I unlocked the bootloader with the tool from AdamOutler
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41016954
It workt just fine, but after a wile I tried to do a factory reset. After that it was not booting anymore and always ended up in TWRP.
I then decided to do a system repair to factory rom with the Verizon tool, This went wrong and now it is not booting anymore. I can enter ODIN mode but it will not accept any roms, Also the Verizon repair tool is not able to load the factory rom and get stuck on 83% falling back to 66% with the message the device is unexpectedly disconnected.
What I have now is the unencrypted factory rom grabed it from the Verizon tool when it was trying to write it to the device. And a Unit that will not accept any writing of roms.
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
I also have access to a RIFF-Box and second working SCH-I925 but unfortunately no info about the JTAG pinout of the device.
hope to help

Hi, I have a Kross GY-601 Tablet... One of the cheap chinese tablet you can pickup at factorydirect (Canada)
I seem to have bricked it when attempting to port Clockwork Mod Recovery to it. It does not show anything on screen or do anything, When I connect it to my computer.. It shows up as M6-CHIP in Device Manager as shown in my image.
The internal storage is completly gone as a result of my failed attempt to un-brick it..
It would be a great help if someone helped me fix this..
Thanks in advance..

PS: I'm only 13 sorry if my description of the problem is a bit bad..
Sooo,
You probably don't have proper drivers, use PDANet ones, they work even with obscure tablets.
You tried to port CWM or flash?
It's not bricked since your computer detects it
Last thing, do you have a backup recovery image or another recovery image that works so you can get it back up?
Daniel
I was dumb enough not to do any recovery image backups..
Also.. I ported cwm then flashed it with dd just poped the .img into the recovery block.. but since I didn't compile it properly when I adb reboot recovery.. It got into a boot loop.. so I tried to fix it but broke it even more... So then I tried re-writing the firmware for generic 4.1.2 chinese tablet.. but that messed it up to the point were it only shows as M6-CHIP.. i can only turn on and off.. nothing else.. no boot no screen light up nothing..
I can help you BUT....

Even i am having the same device on its stock rom and kernel so i guess i can help you i was into rooting and upgrading it but didnt do it as i was waiting for a backup device so if i brick it i dont have to wait to buy a device but i am stupid and dont know how to take a backup of the stock rom. If you will help me know how to do that i can help you in return by uploading the stock rom and sharing the link.:highfive:
Hi everybody, I have got a big problem with my ngm wilco. I'm afraid I made hardware damage. I was flashing the CWM recovery following these instructions: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.it/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html using the ZTE V970 CWM recovery that I found in the second post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856578. The phone was already rooted. But the application Smart phone flash tool gave me an error message while I tried flashing without the preloader (I unflaged it because the developer says that it's not necessary). I also tried selecting all the flag, but I always had error messages. Unfortunately the Wilco didn't remain in the previously status, because now it's totally bricked. It doesn't turn on; I can't use the recovery pushing the power and the volume up button; I can't flash the stock rom because the pc doesn't identify the phone. I hope that I didn't made hardware damage, because I'm afraid that the official assistance wouldn't recognize the warranty considering that I was making modding. Thanks a lot for your answers
Nobody of you can help me???
Hello everyone i need help with a phone of a friend. She gave it to me yesterday cause she has locked it. Sim is locked and now phone is locked needs pin to unlock which of course she doesnt remember either.
When she first told me about this i thought ok it would be easy to do a factory wipe but unfortunately poor me it was a sony phone lol
So no root, no usb debugging only fast boot, no unknown sources and locked bootloader too. Phone turns on normally. What can i do? I have flashtool drivers and usb too. I have tried multitool number 8 which is wipe didnt do anything.
Please help... dont care to loose data and willing to flash anything. I ama little experienced with flashing as i personally have a galaxy s2 and a oneplus one but still not an advanced user at all only basic stuff as simple recovery flashing and custom roms. She didnt even know what recovery is so im her last hope.
Thanks in advance!
