Hi Fellow forum members!
I am trying to restore my doughters phone ( sat on it, bend the phone, and cracked glass+lcd ).
I, by odd luck, was sent a bricked A0001 for parts like ten days before that.
The bricked phone is in a very good shape.
It just did not respond to anything.
I tried to mount my doughters motherboard into the bricked phone, thinking that would unbrick it.
But not so....
It does wake up now, but only in Cyanogen Recovery mode.
I could rip out all and just go for the lcd but that is a repair that never has a good outcome, as you really are taking glued in parts out that never will fit back in a 100%
now ...
is that my only option?
i could try to reinstall thru cyanogen recovery ( thats the mode it is in right now )
adb sideload is something i have no experience with...
or is it simpeler to unbrick the bricked one?
All help is appreciated!
Marc.
Try the bacon root toolkit first, it will simplify sideloading a new rom, most important is that you have a recovery working.

Hi amd-dude!
tx for the intel.
i do not have a working recovery from neither the bent nor the bricked one.
i also own a oneplus one. ( if necessary i can retrieve one from there )
i will try try bacon root toolkit first.
your next virtual beer is on me!
// i find it odd that switching the motherboard puts the "combo- phone" in recovery mode...
// isn't the motherboard compatible?

Uh,no.To boot into fastboot press volup+power button.No need of drivers and stuff.
well actually you dont need to worry about glued in parts..
i had a broken screen too , and i found a screen with frame / bezel on ebay..
very easy to replace no glue , just click click click.
Just be carefull when you open the backplate.. especially in the sides as there are "ribbons" for the power button and volume button, those are easily destroyed with the tools you use ..
good luck

In Windows device manger you probably have a usb port when an "!" On it. Right click it then manual install the usb drivers. You'll have to browes to whet you downloaded the drivers

Google "nexus 5 diagnosing usb drivers xda"
why use a toolkit on a nexus device? its easier to root your nexus without a toolkit.
1. "fastboot oem unlock" via fastboot unlocks the bootloader.
2. flash a custom recovery via fastboot
3. flash the su binaries(supersu) in your new recovery.
4. reboot and profit, thats it.

You're probably going to have to go into device manager, view hidden, and delete each usb port that is not being used and start over. Don't have your phone connected when you do this. It's a pita. Then reboot your computer, than plug your phone in. Also make sure you're using the usb cable that came with your phone and usb ports in the back of your pc

some people have reported issues if you didnt let the device 'reset' itself after you unlocked the bootloader so it could rebuild the data partition.
its more of a precautionary thing than anything else.

I installed latest CM rom and unfortunately xposed framework on top.
after that my device does not start and seems to stack in CM logo for ever.
I can get to recovery but does not find any backup files! Seems like scdard is empty or not recognizable.
I tried to push a new rom for with adb from fastboot but my pc does not seems to find the phone. Like adb debugging is not enabled on the phone.
I also fails when I try to erase the device from recovery.
Any help is welcome.

Hi, your phone is ok, just empty. the problem is on the computer. You need to fix the driver for nexus 5. You probably have them installed since you unlocked the phone. just keep your phone connected and on recovery mode.
go to device manager, look for nexus 5. Choose "update driver"
"Browse my computer for driver...,
"let me pick from a list of device drivers"
choose any ADB driver, and install it.
Many more ways to do it

If it can boot to the bootloader, and it still cant find the device, the problem is either with your computer(driver) or with the usb hardware on the phone(highly unlikely since it happened after you messed with software)

Until yesterday,my nexus 5 16GB (Imported from Canada to India) runs fine, but it give some error after rebooting a device. "UID's inconsistent Error (I'm feeling Lucky)" .
I searched on XDA Forum and find a solution that it needs to fix permission through TWRP recovery.
The error had gone but my internal SD storage shows empty in any file manager but works fine on PC (it shows all files and folders on PC).
I got this storage problem second time in last two months and it happens when i do some task through TWRP like cleaning cache,Dalvik cache etc.
Last time i fixed it by simply re-installing the firmware.
But this time i read somewhere to use a command "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0" in Terminal emulator app.
So i go for this solution.But after this when i reboot my device,it never turns ON.
No combination of button works to get in recovery or bootloader.
It is detected as " Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008" port in device manager.
and if i press and hold volume up then connect it via usb to pc ,it shows unknown device.
other than this, nothing works and no screen activity.
i had already tried LG flash Tool,but it says device is in unknown mode.
Please tell me if my device is Hard Bricked or not?
If Yes ,how much it will cost to get repaired here in INDIA?
Device Details:
Nexus 5 16GB Android L LPV81C (rooted with custom TWRP recovery)
Bootloader Unlocked.
Looks like you nuked your eMMC...
Where did you find that command?

Ok Thanks!
as none of the method works, I assumed phone is hard bricked.
Should i go for a warranty claim in Canada (i can manage to send it to canada through relative to my brother (who live in canada) for this purpose)????
Or just give here in India to LG service center for repair or motherboard replacement ????
Anyone knows how much motherboard replacement will cost ???

This here alarms me... You read "Somewhere? where exactly? you obviously didn't know what it was or what it could have done, so why do it?
Yeah, seems it's hard bricked, but you've been taught a lesson here.. make sure you know what you're doing... and don't just "read" something and try it..
If in doubt, read, then read again, then read some more.. if you are stuck. Ask.

LG in indai will not do anything because the D820 variant sold in canada and the D821 variant sold in india. It does not matter if you have LG warranty or not. Maybe they will offer you to replace the D820 board with a D821 board, but you have to pay the costs of the repair and motherboard change. The price can go above 100 USD.
If you facing this "UID's inconsistent Error (I'm feeling Lucky)" problem in the future then you have to make a factory reset. You get this error if you dirty flash roms

The five-minute post limit is lifted once you have reached 10 posts. The moderators have nothing to do with it, as the process is automated to lift the wait after you post 10 times.
The reason for this wait is to keep new users from rapidly posting uselessly just to achieve 10 posts.

Oops, sorry to get your hopes up.
I do actually have a few things to say about the real problem here:
1. Are you sure that your device is charged up? If not, make sure to plug it in to charge.
2. If charging isn't the problem, I'm going to give it a safe bet that your device is bricked. Like, turned into nothing more than a brick. (That's what "bricked" actually means ) If the device doesn't respond to the power button (which your posts have led me to believe), then there is no way to revive your device.

You said you've cleared eMMC and also some boot related stuff.
Well, messing with your eMMC and boot partition isn't a good idea, if you wiped your entire eMMC partition it means you've also wiped bootloader stuff...
I'm sorry but looks like your phone is totally bricked....
First of all stop shouting...!
Are you sure you choose "advaneced menu" and not "mount and storage" ....?
Also me too I think your device is bricked...
If you can't recognise it from fastboot and adb and you can boot to bootloader and recovery mode it is bricked...

If your phone won't turn on at all, it's totally bricked. Only a motherboard replacement will fix it...
As you know your phone has hard bricked buddy
then you should also know you cant fix it
try odin and flash bootloader (if u can without open download mode)
or Nokia care is the best way...
Hello,
I bought a used Moto G osprey, european version with 2GB of RAM.
It only boots into fastboot mode, normal boot or boot into recovery don't work. When I try to start the phone normally, it gets stuck at the "M" logo, restarts after a few seconds and does the same again. It's bootlooping.
What I already tried:
- Going back to stock according to https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750 throws a 'Preflash validation' error, probably because the installed system is a newer Android version
- Flashing TWRP 3.3.1-0 via fastboot works, but I can't seem to get into it after installation. When I try to get into recovery mode through the fastboot menu, I come back into the same bootloop.
Any help on what could be going wrong?

No. It's really strange.
I have some experience with flashing, did some on a Galaxy S, S2, S5 and HTC One M7, but never encountered such an error.
Could it be an hardware failure? If so, how could I confirm this?

I have some experience with flashing, did some on a Galaxy S, S2, S5 and HTC One M7, but never encountered such an error.
Could it be an hardware failure? If so, how could I confirm this?

I think only a Moto Service center could help but have you tried these Motorola USB drivers just in case?

Well, I'm using Linux, so not using any drivers at all.
How do the Moto Service centers work if I do not have a guarantee?

I don't know how they work just that they are there. Alternate idea.Phone around for a local small phone repair shop.They should be able to help and or borrow a Window's Laptop?
