Hi Guys,
I am quite new to custom ROM's and the idea of rooting, however I was using SP Flash tools to wipe the flash storage of my device after a rather serious boot loop. Now I can see that this was not the best of ideas. Firstly I tried flashing TWRP again, but this did not fix the issue so I decided to format the whole flash. During this process SP Flash tools unexpectedly crashed. This resulted in the interrupt of the process and has left my phone practically dead. I can not get anything from the screen like recovery mode. Even after very long button presses of the power switch. To try and rectify this, I downloaded the Umi Super custom ROM and loaded it into SP Flash tools. However when I press download, there is no response and it does not even begin to download let alone flash. I have left it on for about 15 minutes with no response. I have also tried unplugging it and holding the volume buttons down in different combinations. Although this may seem as though the device has boot loader issues and can no longer communicate, I don't believe this is the case. Because when I plug the device in and out of my computer it recognizes it and loads the correct drivers for the device. Therefore there must be some sort of communication between my device and the computer.
I have used SP flash tools in the past with this phone and it has never had issues. I have also tried reinstalling the drivers and moving to a different PC. Even changing USB cable, but no luck. I am using the latest versions of all the software.
I really hope someone may have an idea and I would really appreciate it.
Thank you again,
James

Hi all,
I've spent a good two hours trying to figure this out. Generally I'm pretty good at these things, but there just isn't that much action or information on the Blu Life Play when things go wrong (L100a)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370987
In reference to the above link, I followed all instructions to a T. My phone is rooted just fine, all that is working perfectly. However, once I tried installing CWM using the first method, mobileuncle, not only did it fail, but it also entirely broke my recovery mode! Whenever I try to boot into recovery (vol+/power) I get a black screen until the phone eventually reboots itself.
I then tried method two using the flashing tool, SPFT. I used something similar pretty often, ODIN, with my old Samsung Epic. Again I run into a problem: I can't keep the phone connected long enough to allow SPFT to finish flashing the recovery. As instructed, I plug in the USB cable with the battery out, my computer chimes to let me know it has recognised the device, but- Three seconds later, it chimes again to let me know it has disconnected.
SPFT follows suit, detecting and starting the flash then getting interrupted 2 seconds later.
My phone is still able to boot, it is not bricked. However, it is very distressing to have no access to a recovery mode.
Help?
I have the same issue. Got my phone replaced under warranty and the new one I got yesterday will not boot to recovery. Only black screen. Hopefully we can figure out the issues.

Hey, it's good to hear I'm not alone in this. lopestom has been friendly enough to correspond with me about it and he suspects it's a new model of the same phone. I sent him a screen cap of the factory settings screen (VOL-/POW)
In the end we might be out of luck until more people get their hands on the new version of the phone.
Hi,
Sorry for any incorrect information in advance, as I am pretty new to this.
I own a Nexus 7 2013 (32gb), I don't know what I am currently running, as my device won't start but, I was running CM11 4.4.4.
Today I decided that I'd try out Android 5.0.1, so I tried to flash my device, this did not work as my device was not found. I used the SDK tools from Google, with the razor image (5.0.1 (LRX22C)). I do have the USB driver add-on from the SDK tools, but that did not fix the problem. As this did not work, I tried this alternative method --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381582
Whilst carrying out this method I pressed enter through all the steps, even though my tablet did not restart like it was meant to. I then manually put the tablet into fastboot mode and tried again, pressing enter through the whole process. Again my tablet stayed on the same screen (fastboot). I put tried to power on the tablet, which didn't work and put me onto the Google start screen, where nothing happens. The console said that all my data has been deleted, even the os, but then the new image has not been transferred to the tablet.
I then tried the WugFresh N7 toolkit, which again did not succeed in transferring the flash image.
I don't think that I have an os on my device any more, and I cannot put on onto it. I don't know if my USB port is faulty on my device because when I plug it into my laptop, the disconnection sound sounds every so often, maybe that is why I cannot transfer data to it.
If I try to boot my device, it freezes on the Google screen, then nothing happens. If I enter fastboot mode, then go into recovery mode, the picture of the fastboot droid comes up with an x through it.
Any ideas?
Any help appreciated, thanks
P.S sorry for low quality photos, also my tablet is no longer detected in the WugFresh toolkit

I can suggest u you flash stock firmware using fastboot.
As after reading your query I am sure that the OS has been deleted or corrupted due to several methods used by u.
Go to ur respective forum and u will find everyrhing related to it.
Press thanks if helped

If this is the situation then submit it to S.C
So I have/had a rooted Xperia z3v D6708 and tried flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/development/d6603-23-1-1-28-t3102271/ using TWRP recovery and everything seemed to go fine. I rebooted my phone after the flash but nothing happened. I tried booting into recovery again to try and restore my phone but nothing happened. I tried plugging it into my computer and it just vibrates every 2 seconds while flashing red then immediately green. This leads me to believe its not bricked so I downloaded the stock firmware using flashtool and tried flashing it onto the phone but when it gets to the part when it asks me to put my phone into flash mode by holding the vol down and plugging it in I do that but nothing happened. I also tried fast boot mode and that seems to work because the phone stops vibrating and the light turns solid blue but there is still a black screen and my computer stays at the screen instructing me to put the phone in fast boot mode so it never recognizes the phone. What should I do?
P.S. flashtool never recognizes the phone when I connect it but it does say this
17/009/2015 14:09:29 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
17/009/2015 14:09:29 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
I tried installing the drivers for my device along with the ones for flashing and fast boot but it didn't work...
Someone please help me!
Tried a full restore with the Sony PC companion? Usually at least gets you out of a soft brick if nothing else is working. Good news is that it's pretty hard to hard brick a sony phone when you're just flashing roms, so your phone is probably fine. I had trouble with the flashtool drivers actually installing because of Win8/10 driver stuff, so that might also be your problem if you're on those OS's. You might want to look into disabling 'Disable Driver Signature Enforcement' and trying again to make sure.
Google the disable driver thing he mentioned ^ I had the same issue and for future reference you can't flash any roms, you can only flash roms in the z3v sections, sound mods and other things like that should be fine to flash
Maybe this has been solved before but so far I haven't found a solution to my OPO Hardbrick and I really need of your help. I tried flashing resurrection remix to my OPO and I guess it went wrong, I tried restoring my backup and it didn't work so I decided to factory reset it which deleted the rom. Now, I have used several tool kits and they all seem to have not worked, it only removed my custom recovery (TWRP) and replaced it with the Cyanogen Recovery, now my phone doesn't even turn on, its all black and vibrates, I am able to use the tool kits using the volume up and power button, but no fastboot, any solutions? Thank you so much
Ok, first step is not to panic and don't do crazy stuff and go over logically. There is no help in starting to flash stuff when your pc doesn't properly connect to your phone.
Does your pc recognize the phone when you insert the USB port after you placed it in the vol+ and power on mode (fastboot)? If yes the device should be seen in the device manager as a android or usb thing.
Check with skipsoft toolkit if you see the device with adb. Do you see any number?
Don't panic here is the solution

Like the other people are saying, don't worry, it's probaly not that big of a deal. I had this before. Try booting into fastboot mode and reflash TWRP recovery using the method showcased in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZaajUEybNM (you need to skip through it a little). Make sure you have all the proper drivers installed on your computer.
The phone doesn't go into fastboot, but it is recognized by my computer as QU something with a q, with the qualcomm drivers, I have managed to only let it be recognized via tool kits, It doesn't go into fastboot or anything. I have tried the ColorOS toolkit but apparently its more succesful if I try it on an XP computer. Whenever I hold the power and Volume Up the Phone vibrates and is recognized by the tool kit
Hi There,
Had an ongoing problem which i've tried and havent been able to solve. My phone died a week ago, to my surprise it seemed to be unable to power on. After trying more simpler methods, i figured my phone was bricked, as it is unable to boot into recovery mode regardless of what input or method i use. I have tried all sorts of broken data tools .ect. before i tried flashing a Stock Rom onto the device, as i have lots of pictures on the phone i seriously don't want to lose.
I tried installing TWRP onto the phone, no luck as it couldnt boot into recovery mode regardless of what i tried. It will just display the Samsung logo still. I've now tried to flash stock firmware onto the device using Odin which gave me a "FAIL!", "complete(write) operation failed". I've tried flashing a recovery.tar file as it's been suggested, as well as things like firewall and Usb cables but nothing seems to work. Literally nothing. Seems that being unable to get the phone into recovery mode at any point is the sole issues of all of these fixes.
Maybe someone with better knowledge can advise. I'm not bothered what happens to the phone, the photos/data on it are far more important but running out of hope to be honest.
