[Q]is my phone soft bricked or hard bricked?

i tried to install a custom rom but my phone doesnot boot neither it starts in download mode. please suggest what should i do

You could try to flash the stock rom for your phone again. Search Google if there is a stock rom ftf file and flash it with Flashtool
Another possibility is check if you have installed the correct kernel for your custom rom and install both again.

Could you give details about your installation process? A jig could fix your problem or in other words it could boot your phone in download mode.
If your recovery is available flash a custom ROM with it.

i installed the rom under normal conditions. for your info i have done this plenty of times but this time i m clueless. i have ordered for a jig but is there any other way to get my phone back?? please suggest.

Have you tried to flash it with 'Flashtool'?
Have you installed the correct Kernel for your custom rom?
Another solution might be to look in the internet for 'wotan server' - here you could try to restore your phone but it will cost a little.

u could also try odin to flash your original formware

Other than the jig is there any way to start the mobile in download mode??

You could try going into flash mode then flash a new kernal or by going into fastboot mode to flash a new custom ROM in Flashtool.
But I think this only works with Xperia Phones.

sorry, didn't have that in mind but you didn't tell us yet what phone you have and if you have used 'Flashtool' or 'Odin Flash tool' which is for Samsung phones, so it is very difficult for us to help you

Stock ROM cannot be flashed with recovery, u need flashtool and more important ur device should boot into download mode. So try ur hands on custom ROM.

I tried to go into download mode but the phone just stays at the bootloader, so far I can only get into recovery mode.
What do I need to have to resolve the issue from recovery mode?
I have a friend with the exact model that I can get the files i need to fix mine.

Can I install custom ROM from stock recovery mode?

First of all you shouldnt have made a factory reset.
Did you have a rootedsystem.img or system.img in the root of your internal sd card?
If you did all you had to do is dd flash that image and your phone would have returned to life. If you read the instructions to rooting you shouldve made a backup first!
If you flash ZV5 TOT you will hard brick your phone.

Well I thought u had custom recovery, never mind, u just need to enter in bootloader and flash the stock ROM. This might save u from soft brick.

I thought the factory reset would have fixed the problem. I bought the phone already rooted, so no I dont have neither of the .img files. I have a friend with a similar phone, can i get the files i need from that phone?

I am seeing the part where you said not to flash with zv5, so what are my options at this point? can I use a rootedsystemLS996_ZV6 file i had downloaded? Or Should i check on my friends phone to see if he has the rootedsystem.img or the system.img?

Cannot recieve hello packet RN7 Pro

Plz plz read it at least once
I was flashing miui 12 OTA through orange fox recovery. Now my phone is dead. It can boot into recovery, fastboot flawlessly. It is detected in miflash also but whenever I am trying to flash miui 11 any version stock rom it gives error "cannot recieve hello packet". I have flashed many roms from orange fox and all of them flashed successfully but it is booting to recovery only. Plzz help
PS : I have read many threads but remove the battery /let the battery drain out method was not much explanatory so I couldn't understand it.. Plz anyone can suggest alternative method or same method in detail.

I think you need to remove the battery and try..im not sure though...
Try searching for this error...its a kind of general error so you would find an answer in some other device section

First of all download miui 11 recovery zip file for violet, after that boot into pitch black recovery, then wipe all partitions you see there and must format data then reboot to pitch black recovery again now place the zip file into your phone and flash and you will be good to go

But oppo_custom.img is not included from any firmware.
It can only access through dumping files from phone.

Officially, no way.
But you may try mtkclient. It surely works, but fastboot is still inaccessible. U will need to flash files manually, either using the same or using SP Flash.

On Android 10 the fastboot was fine
Edit: Fastbootd works.. Fastboot won't work cause you need to unlock using in-depth tool, which at the moment is not possible

Yes sir, I have the green checklist at the end of the flash, but still... the phone said the download is not completed.
I searched on the internet about flashing oppo_custom.img, and Im done it with help of mkclient from brkler on github. Now the text "Download not completed" is dissappeared, but the phone is looping at the boot oppo logo only then turn off again, im trying to go to fastboot, but it can't, then I decide to flash it again, the text "Download not completed!" now is appear again...

Question Phone stuck in bootloop

Hey. I installed a custom rom and now I want to go back to miui. I flashed with miflash without lock and now the phone shows the poco logo then turns off and on again. What do I do? Flashing a custom rom works but I don't want a custom rom. I'm scared to clean all and lock in case it gets hardbricked.

Do not block it. First of all you need to install in correct form with miflash from a PC the MIUI rom. You're bootloop can be for a bad installation install again and send photos of the process you're phone is not hard bricked but, don't block it.

Thank you. I'll try tomorrow since I don't have time to setup my phone again today. I'll probably stay unlocked but I want miui recovery to get ota updates.

After that you need to redownload the MIUI version extract from the .zip the folder and install the rom if that doesn't work tell me. I got an AMD Ryzen 5 3600, at the beginning I have the same problem. But installing in that way the drivers healp. Good look. Be in touch.
