Reviving my bricked P500

This is my first post at XDA. I don't know if I am in the right section. Kindly move the post if required.
Problem
1) I had my Optimus One running CM9.
2) It made my phone slow. So, I flashed it back to CM7.
3) It had some problems, so i was foolish enough to move it back to Gingerbread instead of restoring to CM9.
4) This is where my phone started acting strange. It was getting into a boot loop.
5) I then tried to fix it using some tools I don't remember, but since then it has been dead.
The phone is dead. The phone won't turn on. Not even in emergency mode. No response when charger or USB is connected. It just wont turn on.
It was about 4 months ago when I bricked my phone and had lost hope. I have now known it's hard living without an android.
Please let me know how i can fix this and revive my bricked phone.
Some of you may have a good laugh reading this. But I already have tears in my eyes.:crying:
I dont remember what all i did to my phone in order to brick it. So, please help in whatever way you can.
Thanks to everyone in advance.

The thing is, if it doesn't respond then how are you going to fix it...that's the huge problem.

Moved to General Q&A.

Have you tried another charger? With and without battery.

It's an LG phone right?.. I also agree to Repair at the service center of your phone.. I recommend that because it's hard bricked.. When I was a newbie and accidentally soft bricked my galaxy pocket (bootloop) I bring it to the samsung service center I thought it will coast some bucks but it's free, they just reformat my phone for One hour and it's now fixed.. but now I use Odin for reformatting my phone using stock firmwares..

dumeds away,
I assume you searched the forum already, but maybe you didn't try this yet:

try putting it into download mode and connecting to the computer and checking with odin.i

How to get into download mode? I dont really know if it would go into download mode.

Hmm , hopes are less but lets go on with the basics .
Did you try changing the battery ?
I don't think the download mode would work either but try doing the following :
Plug in the USB cable and wait for the charging screen to come on.
Now Press and HOLD the following Keys in the same order: Return Button, Volume Down Button, and the Power Button.
Let go off all the buttons when you first see the LG logo.
Then install cm9 again with odin .
If none works then you either have to go with a new phone or maybe a simple part of the phone has become dead . If it's under warranty get it replaced / repaired .

[q] nexus 5 bricked in first 4 days sos

Alright i got 6 hours before tmbobile store opens and i can HOPEFULLY get an exchange, but not banking on it. btw im new to rooting so i wasnt familiar with the process, but regardless i have hard bricked my NEXUS 5. Title says the problem. I followed wwjoshdew's guide to rooting on youtube, and rooted successfully. But i could'nt for the life of me figure out how to create nandroid. I ended up realizing i didnt download cmw recovery mode and downloaded it from the play store. the app took me to a button that said flash recovery and i hit it and my phone asked for permission from unknown source, i hit ok and it shut down, on 70% battery life. Not turning on please help

Try to boot the phone into bootloader mode. Just hold volume down and the power button. From there try to cycle to recovery. You use your volume down to cycle through the options and power but as select. If you can boot into recovery and have that successfully installed then you can erase your phone and try to power it on from there. If you didn't successful install the custom recovery then you'll have the standard Android recovery. You can erase everything from that too.
These phones are hard to brick and not be able to fix it.

Doesn't turn on dude. No matter what. I am new to roms but i know what a hard brick is.

You should really read the guides and stickied threads at the top of these forums. The guides are very noob friendly and you wouldn't have bricked your phone. There's one to reset your device to stock as well. There's really no need for this thread and on top of that there is a sticky that says no questions in the General forums.

Determine your phone is actually off. Plug your phone into charge, if a battery sign appears in the middle of the screen then your phone is off.
If your phone is off, hold down the volume down button with the power button to start the bootloader, press volume down twice and press the power button to enter recovery.
If your screen remains black and doesn't show a battery logo, hold the volume up, volume down and power buttons at the same time for a minute, then let go and hold down the power button. Which should hopefully start your phone.

You bricked a Nexus?
Hold down Volume Down, Up, and Power to get into fastboot mode. Restore from Factory Image.
Normally, to root a nexus, I fastboot Team Win Recovery Project.
Anyways what you did simply could not HARD BRICK the phone.

My Nexus5 doesn't flash the Led light or enter bootloader and software . I was flashing the based CM kernel and i followed the instructions nicely, while using TWRP Recovery i pressed reboot system after the flash and the phone suddenly died. I connected it to the PC and the installing drivers popup appeared and it didn't install them, problem(QHSUSB_BULK) it only appeared once. And since that, phone is dead. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Do you have a link to the kernel you flashed? I think you done bricked it good.

If yes,I think then all Nexus 5 users should be warned about CF's autoroot issues,because I see more and more topics related to this issue.

I don't believe the issues you're seeing, appears to be failed emmc, is related to chain fire's auto root. Cf is probably the most popular method to root and it's a coincidence. I've seen these failures with other root methods too.
I think the op flashed a kernel not for his device.

I am not a developer so bear with me. I'm just a guy in mpls with a completely stock N5 from Google Play that encountered similar issue as the original post. There was no damage or water issue, or other problem prior to going dead. It had about 50% battery and maybe 15 minutes after reading an email it was dead when I looked at it again. It just simply turned off while in my pocket. I could not get it to power on or enter bootloader or a recovery screen. After a week of trying to charge via USB and the original wall charger and countless attempts to hold power and volume buttons without success, I decided to pop the back off and disconnected the battery. I put it back together, but that made no difference either. Google play will send me a new phone, but I'd like to get it fired up and extract the last week or so of pics. Any ideas? Again, I am a complete noob and this 3 month old phone has not been modified in any way, other than auto updates from Google play. Thanks for any assistance or guidance.

Nexus 5 won't boot, no charging icon, nothing

So I was posting about this in the Purity thread already, but this has become a major unresolvable issue so far..
I just updated clean install/flash of Purity ROM to the newest version, with the included stock kernel.
I tried out xposed framework, and only 1 mod (Serajr Blurred System UI)
on dalvik of course.. working fine for over a day.
Suddenly today, phone turned off in the gym randomly and wouldn't boot, then after 30 minutes in the gym after repeatedly trying it eventually boot, then right when I got home, I decided to un-install the mod on xposed framework, and reboot and then boom, off again not turning on for several hours... phone is not detectable by adb or fastboot. when connected to a PC, absolutely nothing, completely dead..
when connected to pc... the only thing that happens when I do vol up + vol down + power is that it cycles through usb device connecting on the PC but (device cannot start).
I've tried charging it, leaving it, I've went through every trouble shooting option that I know of.
There's not even a way I can communicate with the phone from the PC.
any suggestions, any ideas??
I can't believe that a device would be bricked from xposed module??
I could do an RMA, as the device is relatively new,
but If I return this device I'm worried about warranty void due to unlocked bootloader and custom ROM etc??

I'm leaning towards this being a hardware issue. If you got the phone straight from Google, the unlocked bootloader and custom whatever shouldn't be an issue.

All bricks are hard bricks. As much as people use the term "soft bricked", believe me - it isn't a thing. A brick is irreparable. If it was repairable, it isn't a brick.
If it is irreparable, its because its been affected beyond the software layer. Messing up the NAND partitions or NAND death are the most common. This can happen during a flash or even seemingly random - its not unusual for bricks to be random. Flash memory in my opinion, is still pretty unstable. Send it for repair /RMA.

[Q] Bricked my One XL by flashing the wrong boot.img file

I was following Timmaaas 'How To' guide to a tee when I got to step #5 and and did the Reboot to find that my phone is now bricked. I was racking my brain trying to understand what I did wrong and I realize that I used the wrong Boot.img file when I flashed it!
I was having issues during the entire process and realized it was because I was using the CyanogenMod One X ROM instead of the XL. This was causing me to get an 'Error 7' until I switched to the XL and everything downloaded fine. However, I completely forgot to replace the Boot.img and ended up flashing my phone with the One X boot.img instead of the XL!
The phone is not responding at all. I did have it plugged into the computer and after it became bricked my computer downloaded the Qualcomm USB drivers for 9006 but its still not responding at all.
Is there anything I can do? It seems like all I need to do is change that one boot file and I would be golden. Please keep in mind this is my first Root so if you know of a way to fix I would really appreciate it if you can teach me in simple terms if possible.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate all you guys do at XDA you help an enormous amount of people. A donation from me is on the way! :good:
EDIT: I kept messing with the power button trying to boot it over and over and finally it launched to HTC one entry screen with the red text for a little less then 1 second but then shut back off. Maybe this gives some hope?

You're gonna need to get a jtag repair done. There's just no way for you to get the device to the bootloader in order to flash the right boot.img because it won't boot due to you borking the boot partition.

Are you able to issue adb commands? If you're seeing the splash screen then you may not be completely bricked. If the device is still showing as qualcommUSB then you're likely out of luck though.

[Q] Dead after flashing stock rom - really dead

Hi there,
Today I tried to get back from cm12 to stock rom. I flashed, then tried to reboot ... nothing.
The phone is absolutely dead. No light when connected to power, no vibration when pressing the power button, no fast boot, no recovery mode. I tried to press power button over one minute, I tried to press for 20 seconds five times... nothing.
The device is absolutely dead. "adb devices" / "fastboot devices" show nothing, my Mac does not even see anything on the usb-port.
I cannot imagine how this is even possible. Is it really possible to destroy a device with flashing?
Has anybody have a hint for me?
S.

It's entirely possible to brick a device with flashing, in fact it's the most likely way to brick a device. Exactly what did you flash? And using what method?
Transmitted via Bacon

I used the method described here (xda-dev forum) with the stock rom from cygn.com : cm-11.0-XNPH44S-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip
all the flashes went fine, then I gave : "fastboot reboot" and got back " rebooting... finished. total time 0.005s". (And a black screen)...
What a pitty

From what I've read, the colorOS stuff is the way to recover from a bricked phone. I don't have any experience in it though so I can't help much there. I would seek advice from that colorOS thread and hopefully you're able to recover

The stock images contain the firmware so that isn't the issue.

The phone is practically dead, so colorOS seems to be no solution as I don't know how to flash it without usb connection. But thanks for the hint.
What I do not understand: What could have gone so wrong that the whole power circuit is damaged? I thought, that flashing only affects the internal "hard disk".
Does anyone know what exactly happens on powering on a working phone?

Nobody said anything about the power circuit being damaged, and it almost definitely isn't. That isn't the cause of a brick, what's most likely wrong is the partitions are corrupted, so it has no information telling it how to boot, what to boot into, or even to boot at all.
You didn't answer my question earlier though, diff you flash manually or via a toolkit?
I'd suggest you try this out:

The phone is practically dead, so colorOS seems to be no solution as I don't know how to flash it without usb connection. But thanks for the hint.
What I do not understand: What could have gone so wrong that the whole power circuit is damaged? I thought, that flashing only affects the internal "hard disk".
Does anyone know what exactly happens on powering on a working phone?

Well, I'm not entirely sure but I think that when you press the power button, you connect two ends, one end has a signal and the other end doesnt, when those two connect, the one without the signal gets a signal which will result in a battery going on maybe? Of this last battery part I'm not sure but that's how I guess it works...

I did the same as you - This fixed it for me.

Basically you have to use a Windows computer and the original ColorOS firmware to fix your partitions. Follow this guide and it will flash your One with ColorOS, then you can flash TWRP and go on to flash CM11S.
It worked for me but it was a bit of a pain.

Sorry, I mixed up two answers... I did it all with the fastboot commands (e.g. fastboot flash userdata cm11s\userdata_64G.img)
Thank you all a lot for your hints - I will try to fix it with a windows computer and keep you informed.

Well, that did the trick, thank you very much! Using Windows the phone was detected as a Qualcom mass storage. I could then use the tool that directly flashed the stock cm11.
Again, thanks a lot!
All the best,
Sven
