Hello, yesterday I rooted 1st time my DHD with this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076
everything went perfect etc after that I downloaded ROM 'TashakBate' 200mb~
after that my DHD went crazy :< and now I can't do anything I cant even unlock it
so any ideas what can I do?
If there was already post like this sorry I couldn't find it.

Hi there,
Okay the process you linked (assuming it went well) should have provided you with a rooted device with S-OFF.
Have you tried rebooting the phone into recovery? Did you download your ROM via ROM manager? At what point did your phone start "going crazy"?
As much information about the issue as possible will help us to help you

please post the things that you tried before posting...
and well... it seems that something went badly when flashed it....
try to re-flash but Do fullwipe (fact.reset, data caché, and dalvik before flash,and after do battery wipe)
in adition... you revised the "buglist" of this ROM?maybe there´s something that provokes it.....

As I said everything was just perfect before this "tasha~" I installed other rom which was working excellent. When I installed this tasha I cant even unlock it
which means I dont have acces to menu etc , All what I got is many erros like
"process com.htc.bg was close", "process com.android.phone was close", "Application HTC sense~" And yes I downloaded it Via ROM Manager

THE BETTER THING THAT YOU CAN DO IS ENTER RECOVERY...if you can´t.... enter into fastboot and flash the pd98img and restore a clean rom for start again....it´s the better thing and the most effective sure....

ok you are in the correct way... your device is claming for the pd98img file
now you must to download the PD95IMG file for restore your device...download it from here..
http://www.multiupload.com/BTJ8KY0KH9
its a .zip file...
then you should to put this file into the root of sd-card... repeat not in any folder...
later... when you pasted it into sd (with a card reader, or with another device)... put the sd into your device again, reboot again into bootloader, enter in fastboot and wait for an automatic installation of this file...
(later press my thanks button and enjoy again of your new DHD lol)

remember... after flashing pd98img file you are going to adquire the 1.32 oficial version of android 2.2 (the older) for flash another rom you know that you must to root again, and install THE RECOVERY for issues like this...
next time read step by step everything before flash anything... yiu´re not bricked your device for a few...

[GUIDE]How to unbrick your Defy and solve other bugs

So your Defy is bricked. It's really hard to brick a Defy or a Defy+ due to locked bootloader, so you can't really brick it but you can get it in state of not booting. In this simple guide i will show you how to unbrick Defy and fix some common errors!
Lets get started!
How to unbrick your Defy
What do you need!
You need the following:
Motorola Defy
RSD Lite (download here: http://goo.gl/KRSRp
SBF (i reccomend 2.2 CEE Froyo) (download here: http://goo.gl/Jhz84) (for other SBFs use this link: http://goo.gl/dYQTl )
USB Cable
Charged battery (at least 50%)
Motorola USB Drivers (download here: http://goo.gl/bWg1M )
Download and install USB Drivers
Download and install RSD Lite
Turn off your phone
Go into bootloader by pressing Power button and Vol+ button
Connect your phone to your PC via USB cable
Make sure everything is OK
Locate downloaded SBF. In popup dialog press Uncompress and start flashing
If you get " Please manually power up this phone " in RSD Lite pull battery out > put your battery back > reboot into stock recovery by holding Power button and Vol- button > Choose Wipe data/cache > Choose Reboot system now
That's it, you unbricked your Defy!
How to repair damaged Dalvik or cache
Use the same method for unbricking your Defy. If you still have problems...do the same procedure again.
How to fix empty battery
If your battery is so empty that you can't even charge it, there are 2 options
Option 1. (McGyver method)
Get a USB cable, cut the off the B plug (the one that plugs into the device) and strip away the shielding, revealing the 4 individual wires inside: White, Green, Red and Black. Red is +5V DC and Black is ground. strip a few (1-2) mm's off each and gently push them into the + and - slots on the battery. Apply some tape to keep them in place, but don't cover the other connectors. Now plug the battery back in, a tight fit, but possible if you've peeled back the shielding and the white and green wires so that only Black and Red are actually being crammed in there with the battery
It should look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Red goes to the + terminal,Black goes to the - terminal
Plug the business end of the newly modded usb cable into your computer.
That's it, your Defy should be alive now
McGyver method found at this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892026
I was lazy to write the method by my words...so i just copied from that thread....because he wrote it so well
If original author has problems with copyrights, he can PM me and we will sort it out.
Option 2.
Connect Defy to PC via USB cable. Make sure that your PC is powered on. LED in the top left-hand corner should be white coloured. Leave the Defy overnight to charge. In the morning it should be charged a little bit to charge it via normal method
I have not tested McGyver method, but option 2 worked for me (happened to me once)
This is the end of this tutorial. I hope i helped!

bricked MB526 BL7 no recovery available
Hello, I try to give as much information as possible so please bear with me.
MB526 with BL7 was working perfectly with the quarx nightly 20121018+update v3 but of course I installed the v4 update. What a friend and I figured is that there is a problem when flashing the 2ndboot updates with your power plug still plugged in, this is what I totally forgot about on the v4 update. I wiped the cache and dalvik before AND after the update but was stuck the bootloop. Now I had just made a CWM backup two weeks ago but when restoring I got an error message concerning the system folder. Still in bootloop on the splah M logo. I remember there was something about an older custom ROM and the recovery I used that didnt work so I figured I should start from the SBF.
Using RSDlite 5.7 on a winXP machine, I tried to flash the way I am used to flash brand new MB526 with BL7: (did that for a few friends and the girl)
1. DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_GR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P022_A022_Service1FF.sbf
2. DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed.sbf
but the plan was overthrown by my phone. It flashed through the whole process but was stuck at the the "please manually power up this phone"-screen in RSDlite, the phone was connected but at the splash screen. Battery out, the PASS would only appear in RSD if I boot directly into bootloader again. Otherwise this splash screen makes my mad. It doesnt boot.
I tried to flash the alternative, chinese, root ROM for BL7; samesame, but different.
Downloaded RSDlite 6.14, Mdriver 5.9 on a win7 machine, used about all the BL7 ROMs I could find on the site: sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/ The last one being the [Retail British] sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_BLUR_SIGN_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTGB005.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTGB_P023_A025_M002_Service1FF.sbf.gz
samesame
:crying:
Now I cannot boot into the motorola recovery. Theres just the background picture but no menu. As far as I know, flashing an SBF is all that I can do. Anyone has got an idea, which ROM to try or what else to do ?
Thanks in advance

Flash the sbf again.
If you encounter please manually power up the phone unplug the device from PC, reboot into stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset. After that reboot

thank you. stock recovery. there is no stock recovery. MB526. BL7. Just the droid and a triangle with the "!" inside the triangle if I try to boot into stock recovery. I remember having this problem with my hannspad and there was a flashable ROM with just the stock recovery. Is there something comparable for the defy? only the recovery or is the BL7 the problem here?

That is Stock recovery (droid and yellow triangle) .Try pressing Vol Up and Vol Down simultaneously to get the menu. If that doesn't work TAP in the lower right hand corner of the screen to get the menu. Tap around a bit to get the right spot.
The newer stock recovery works off touch screen instead of the rocker buttons.

Thank you VERY much. I spent too much time with CWM it appears. I dont remember having used the stock recovery once. I thought BL7 was my enemy with that screen. My phone must feel like its been gangbangraped now with all the different ROMS I have flash upon it. Thanks again, quarx build 20121018+v4 running. Am creating a backup right now.

When I connect to pc (battery empty) it charges white led then boots up hangs on motorola logo for sometime then shutsdown to white led again, is that normal?

My Xperia Arc wont boot up, need help!!!!

Hey, I'm new here. I have a Sony ericsson arc that is rooted and unlocked bootloader. I downloaded a room that I installed via recorvery mode. I did just like how it was done, but I think something went wrong.
I turned on my cell phone after the installation but the phone will not turn on. The only thing that shows up is the Sony Ericcson logo. The mobile phone will not charge, and when I insert the USB cable that comes up the logo. If not turned off the phone unless I take out the battery. I do not know what to do.
I think I have to flash the firmware oginale, but do not know where I can find it and I'm really not sure. Appreciate all the comments that will help me and my Xperia arc. Sorry for my bad english!

Do you know the name of the rom?
It might be helpful to myself and other users if you tell us the name of the rom, if it was a "CM7" "CM9" or "CM10" rom, you will need to flash a different kernel for it to boot. There are also other methods of fixing it, such as flashing an ftf in flashtool, or a different rom.
First, tell us the name of the rom, and I will try to help more from there
Hope I can help!

Actully, i tried to install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657848 !!

Your problem is probably your kernel, you may have tried to use an ICS ROM with a GingerBread Kernel
Do a search on "ArcKnight Kernel" I recommend it
I'll help you some more when I get on my computer tomorrow if you need it

I tried searching the ArcKnight Kernel but can not find where my problem can be solved by ArcKnight Kernel .. + I will not do anything stupid, because I'm not too familiar with rooms, kernel, etc..
I would rather wait for a response from you in the morning, and still looking for solution ..

HI,
You have to flash the Arcknight or stock(ICS 4.0.4) kernel first using flashtool (trhough fastboot==>install kernel), after that you can install your chosed Room like that one in your post, because you may made mistake installing the Room with a wrong Kernel, it's happened to most of pepeole, like me

How to flash a kernel
What kupuku says is correct
HOW TO FLASH A KERNEL
STEP 1 - Picking a kernel:
Download the kernel you want to use, as I said, I recommend "ArcKnight" you can download this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24807655&postcount=2
The files you need to get are
Main Kernel OverClocked CPU - ArcKnight Kernel_RC_3.5.1_OC_TEST
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and
Wifi and Zram Modules for Kernel - ArcKnight_Kernel_RC_3.5.1_Wifi_Module
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 2 - A program that will help:
I find the easiest way to flash a new kernel is to use this program called QuikIMG
Which you can download here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23714241&postcount=1
STEP 3 - How to setup QuikIMG:
So you have the file "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_OC.img"
and you have "QuikIMG" EXTRACTED
1)Go to the folder where you extracted QuikIMG to and open the folder called "images":
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) Drag the file "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_OC.img" into the folder called images - so it looks like this:
3) Go back to the QuikIMG folder and open up QuikIMG and select "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_OC.img"
4) You will then need to connect your phone in "Fastboot mode"
To do this you need to:
1) Connect your usb to the computer but NOT the phone
2) Turn your phone off
3) Hold down the menu button (the one on the right at the bottom)
4) Connect your usb cable to the phone
5) There should be a blue light on the side of your phone, this is when you know it is connected and QuikIMG should look like this:
5) If QuikIMG says "Connected" all that is left to do is to press "Flash" and then remove the cable and turn your phone on
EXTRA:
If your WiFi does not work when you turn your phone on, you will need to flash the zip file "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_Test_Version_Modules.zip"
You do this by putting the "ArcKnight_RC3.5.1_Test_Version_Modules.zip" on your SD card and using recovery to flash it
Hope this helps somehow! any other questions on anything, let me know!

Yes, it says that its connected! Shold the partition of flash be on ''boot''? becase it is on boot.

Yes it should be on boot, don't ever change that
Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked?
What does QuikIMG say, can you copy and paste the text?
Also try different usb ports and restarting your computer

Im not sure if my phone is unlocked bootloader, but i THINK it is..
QuickIMG says:
Flashing, please wait...
sending 'boot' (5606 KB)...
FAILED (remote: The Device must be rooted first)
finished. total time: 0.001s
Done. Please check log for errors.
I dont have any other USB ports, but i will try to restart my computer.. It has been on in like over 24 hours xD
I tried flashing after restaring my computer, but didn't make any changes.. same problem

That is an error that occurs from not having an unlocked bootloader
If you want to unlock your bootloader then there are a few ways you can do it
I personally used these instructions
unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
But there are other ways to, but it is your decision on if you unlock it and how you unlock it
I personally recommend you do unlock it however to get full access to all ROMs for the Arc S

Finally made it
yes! I managed to fix the problem in the end! I downloaded the original firmware to Xperia arc (LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.62_Generic Global World.ftf) and flashed it using the program flash tool 9 The phone is now my life again, and that's all I care about!
Of course, I lost all my apps, contact and everything but the phone will survive and that is what I care most about!
I appreciate all the answers that have come to help me, and I hope people who have the same problem with help from this post.
A big thanks to Jack who has used his time to help me and others who are in the same situation I was in. Thank you, everyone!
-Bitonii

That was the final thing I was gonna try haha, glad you got it working and it's not a bother, glad I could offer some help

i guess you charged the battery from the charger with pins
so battery is not any issue it would have to be either the charging jack
or the charging cover socket where the pins reside ,but in any ways it is not going to be more than a 700 bucks at Service centre
finally visit SC as it would be reliable buddy!
and atleast start hitting thanks button

thanks
I will go to the service center but first i have to sort it out with the person i had paid first
I will go in the evening. and keep you posted.....at present charhing phone removing the battery
Just wamt to know, is there any reset button ?
thanks

Thanks
I did go to the repair shop got the usb pin replaced . it never worked charging . but the amazing thong he noticed it DOES CHARGE when the PHONE IS SWITCHED OFF?
He said this is the only way to charge the phone.....funny so its not the usb connector what else could the problem

you need to load drivers for your phone chipset model to ur pc
if you have a 32 bit os on your pc download and install the attached driver file
i dont know which rom are you loading but i think most rom has cwm recovery friendly roms
p.s- also turn on usb debugging on the developer options in setting of your phone

little help required close

first i want you to hit the thanks button if anyone helps
otherwise people stop helping , (some people ,, sometimes )
apart from that it has to be a hardware issue
as nobody had charger issues more than me
believe me on this
now for the battery drain
first flash the rom
and then apply the v1.1 patch only
do not apply wolf script and other tweaks as v1.1 patch has all tweaks inbuilt in it !
so go ahead and enjoy bro and yes one request
start hitting thanks button!

Also, if you are thinking about Pranjal's ROM, then go for romBUZZ. I have updated the stock base version in romBUZZ. The battery issues are fixed.
Also, install the rom first..romBUZZ v1.0 > v1.1 > v1.2. Use it for a few days and then only install any scripts like wolfscript or something if you feel that it is necessary. Use scripts with caution. They might clash too.

Note 10+ SM-N975F/DS very very HARD BRICK --- Advice?

After years of flashing roms (and lurking here, especially DrKetan´s thread), I hard bricked my brand new SM-N975F. When I power it on, it goes to the screen that tells me the bootloader is unlocked, then to a welcome screen, and that is where it stays. (see pics).
I have tried the following:
1) All possible hardware combinations. (I tried at least 100 times all combinations between the keys): always the same.
2) Odin3 does not detect the phone in either screen.
3) Samsung Tool 300K does not detect the phone.
4) ADB does not detect the phone. (adb devices comes empty)
I am about to get a hammer and wreck the little guy, but I decided to ask you first.
Any ideas?

Thank you! I was on stock ROM (Q), with an unlocked bootloader. I was flashing TWRP for Android Q with Odin. It "Pass"ed, and when I rebooted it bricked. Tried every key combination, I can´t get into download mode and the phone is not recognized when connected to the laptop. Tried several cables, too.

i think ur fault was when u let it reboot / u must after odin twrp forced to reboot to custom twrp recovery and do as i think format data , well never root my samsung mobiles 3 years ago , i advice u to be cool + send private msg to dr ketan to get help OR if u have telegrams u can join many group and i know u will get help.
iam out of telegram 1 years ago too so i dont know any groups for n10+ .
try first dr ketan by pm him and wait till anyone read here and help

you should put the phone in download mode and reflash stock from odin.
reboot [down+pwr] when the screen shut down immediately put the usb cable in the phone usb port (the other already in the port of the pc) keeping the vol down till enters in download mode.
you cannot flash just the twrp partition, you have to flash the disable verity check as well. otherwise the bootloader dont't allow the bootstrap as the integrity check fails.
follow the dr.ketan instructions (carefully).

Thank you! I tried Dr Ketan´s instructions, but no matter how hard I try, I can´t get to the download mode. I followed your instructions but the phone does not go to download mode, it just shows the "bootloader modified" screen, then the other one. Odin (nor Samsung Tool 300K) do not recognize the phone at any time, not even for a second, so I can´t flash anything to it.

Sm-n975f hard brick - solved
I hard bricked my SMN975F by uploading the wrong TWRP. The bootloader was already unlocked, but the new TWRP for Q bricked it.
I solved it by sending the phone to a Samsung repair shop. It took them 24 hours (and about 70 dollars), but they were able to flash the bootloader, and the stock Q rom.
Moral of the story: if your Note 10+ is hard bricked, there is a solution. You can try the advice given to me above by these useful members, but if that fails do not toss the phone. Go to a Samsung service store, and they will be able to fix it. Thank you all for their help!

You f##ked it real good but not a hard brick as far as I'm aware. (I may be wrong)
Hard brick is only fixable with a new motherboard.
Well done on getting it sorted and that's great service from sammy

I know you said you tried 100 times, different combinations, by any chance was this - Press and hold the Volume Up + Bixby / Power buttons. - one of them? It should boot into recovery mode not download mode. I had a similar issue, I had to try and try until I was able to get into recovery, from there did wipe data/factory reset several time, and then select reboot to bootloader, then flash the latest firmware(since you probably wont know which booltloader you have on it). Also remember to used the recommended Odin by the XDA team.

Try following alternate way.
- Turn Off Phone, if unable to turn off, wait till battery drain and off itself.
- Press and hold the Volume up and the Power keys at the same time for 3-4 seconds.
- This will bring you to Recovery Screen.
- Use Volume Up and Down Button to Navigate and choose Reboot to bootloader by pressing the power button.
- You are now at Download Mode.

Thank you for your feedback. I had tried that, but the recovery screen did not come up. The method you suggest will work for most cases, but in my case I had screwed up the recovery itself by flashing the wrong TWRP.
Moral of the story: do not flash the wrong TWRP, because it may corrupt your recovery, and then getting to download mode is a lot more complicated.

I agree with you, real good. It may not be a complete hard brick, as the repair guys did not open the phone nor changed the motherboard. Still, it was as bad as a soft brick can get....

ust buy a z3 and fix it lol

Samsung Smart Switch
As far as I know, Samsung Smart Switch is the only method to recover your phone. Download it on your pc. Launch the app and connect your phone. Choose to recover bricked phone.

I bricked about 8 different phones with the new A/B thing before I learned TWRP doesn't work and the fix was to flash the stock boot.img to both partitions with:
./fastboot flash boot --slot all <nameofboot.img>

Download the modded version of Odin. Here's a link to it in my Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=10F5bh4YmD0vAduSMfuqF7jQl4ho1s83a
