Hi all
My Play came up with an "available software update" on the screen, which I carried out.
Unfortunately, it turned off and will now not turn on.
When pressing the power button it vibrates, and that's it... Any ideas?

How many times has it been said DON'T OTA UPDATE WITH AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE
I think there is a fix for it somewhere but i can't find it. PM Blagus, If there is a way to unbrick your phone he will know

Follow this link for the fix. Then never touch OTA again!

Well, I don't know that information, because I never use it. I only unlocked it by imei with a unlock code. I bought it used and in working conditions and then I sell it to a friend. After 3 days it began with the problem and we don't know how to solve.
At the begining I tought hardware problems with the power buttom... something like stun button, because I had a galaxy s2 with that problem, but it is not possible because I can put it in download mode and it do all the process with odin.

If you have the warranty, that ain't a problem.. show it to them and you will get everything for free, hopefully.

tnks mate, ill do it. ill come back with news when i have them
OEM battery was replaced with new batteries bought off amazon. After the new update, suddenly it started randomly rebooting on me. and next thing it knew, if would show me a Samsung Logo screen and be stuck on it.
I saw some suggestion and I did the remove battery and held the power button and down vol. it reboots.. and every it auto restart and goes to the downloading screen... i just remove the batter and restart the process.
I accidentally on my reboot select the boot from bootloader, and from there it Hardbrick. It no longer turns on, as good as dead, but when I plugged into the PC... I hear 3 beeps... and QHSUSB_BULK driver not found.
I bought a jig, and see if it would help me go into the Bootup Mode, but it was still unresponsive
I was hoping if anyone is able to offer me some guidance
we are able to unbrick it
......if we had someone to help use with the development by just spending the extra few minutes on helping us
What kind of help do you need?
I saw post about Jtag service saying that they cab fix it, should I give them a try?
I have a device that did the same exact thing. Started acted funny, then just hardbricked on a battery pull. Same error message on computer when plugged in, despite locating correct drivers, etc. I am really upset because I've lost a lot of pictures and videos of my little girl. I wrote to a jtag repair person & they felt jtag would not help. And of course I've done all the usual stuff, new battery, all the button combos, etc. It's deader that a door nail, no charging light, vibrations, nothing. I've not dropped it, gotten it wet, nothing.....it just died. And a few few days short of my upgrade, too! Go figure. Anyhow, if ANYONE can PLEASE offer any help, that would be awesome. Even if just as much for me to recover my pics from the emc.

i flashed my xperia by flash tool and after flash crashed my phone and now when i put on the charge there is red light for led but don't turn on the device and don't put on flash mod and don't put on fastboot.
now i ask are they ways to fix this problem?????
As far as I know there is no way to fix it yet. If you still have warranty just send it to service center and say that after update phone didn't turn on.
What you did wrong is you didn't use fsc script when flashing your phone.

As far as I'm concerned there might be a bug in 0.9.23.2 where it doesn't ask for fsc script because I did a simulate flash and it didn't ask to use fsc script and I know it asks for an fsc because I tried it on 0.9.20.0

My phone gets detected as com3 and after installing mediatek vcom drivers it is detected as com7. But after pressing reset button it doesn't detect phone at all.
Problem this far is that sp flash tool do not detect phone and I have no scatter file either.

Cstool flash firmware select com3 that seen or intall vcom driver find ddiver similar flash only twrp or boot it's ok
same here, I also flashed my m5 and after finishing it did not boot as it should..... bricked.
no more flashmode or anything. just a red light when connecting to a usb cable or charger.
FLASHTOOL DID NOT ASK ME TO USE A SCRIPT !!!!!!!
i did the exact same procedure on the same computer with the same flashtool software ,same firmware file to the same phone as i did many times before.
the only difference was that i had checked "wipe user" and "wipe cust-reset.ta" but afaik this shouldn't be the problem.
..... sony service asks for 220 euros to fix it.... changing motherboard actually.
this sucks! i just hope there is a fix for this.

Hey all, just got this phone, I had originally "done some research" when I was at the att store, and found root instructions for the lg k20 PLUS (missed that plus part). So I bought the phone and now im finding out there's currently no root method, which means, as usual, I have to at least try. I warn you, I'm no fulltime dev, so don't get too excited, im the kind of guy that still needs plenty of help with this stuff, but I'm setting up a dev environment and digging in.
My question right now is, has anyone been able to access the bootloader? I read thru the k20plus root topic a bit and they say to use
#adb reboot bootloader#
or hold VOLDOWN and plug usb while powered off.
Nothing seems to bring me to a bootloader.
#adb reboot bootloader#
reboots the device and I assume it tries to boot the bootloader and fails, because windows chirps as if it's been disconnected, then my device proceeds to boot up normally.
Holding VOLDOWN and plugging the usb makes the phone show a splash screen momentarily and then switch to the powered off charging screen.
Has anybody been able to access the bootloader?
-BMFC
Still waiting here too. ??
What u mean with "bootloader" are fastboot.
To get into download-mode hold Vol+ & plug-in usb
Fastboot may for u arivable but u have to wipe ur recovery partition first.
Then reboot into recovery...but wait !
It's look like freeze..plug-in usb and hit on ur PC "fastboot device"
Welcome !
