Hi,
I have a OneX and yesterday totally bricked.
Maximus 4.1.1 JB, Unlocked Bootloader via htc developers and the phone is can't power on.
Befor this problem, i have other problems with charging and wifi.
Yesterday, the wifi is not turning on. Ok, restart. F*ck this s**it Bootloop. OK, stay calm, try to wipe data. Ok, the phone is booting after wipe data. "Change your language", ok, it set and click next. Here is the problem. Ok i lock the screen and lock off. I can't lock off the srceen. Ok, reboot with long pressed power button. The phone thence not booting and not chargeing,
Anyone knows what's the problem?
I can solve this problem or go to gsm service?
solution
I suggest you to pick you're self up,calm down,and slowly update you're HOX onto the lattest and grattes maximus v 6.o.
Before that,make sure that you're phone is fully charged,back up you're old/current rom and continue.
Don't panic,don't *itch and *oon,it's just a ****ing phone

Thanks your letters, and the help, but the phone does not turn on :S
Turn it completely off and let it charge on the wall for a complete day^^ After that please STUDY THE INSTALL GUIDE OF YOUR CHOOSEN ROM PRECISELY AND READ IT AT LEAST 10 TIMES, this is very important. Now you're ready to flash a ROM. If it's still not wokring, you could've a serious problem with your One X. To have a working warranty claim you have to relock your bootloader!!

I've read your first post. You won't see it if it's carging. Try the following; plug your phone to the wall charger for a couple hours and then try to turn it on. If it doesn't turn on, well, thats bad I remember there were some fixes for not charging ONE X's. I'll have a search if charging doesn't work for you.

I had this problem the other day, the battery died before i went to bed, so i plugged it in over night and nothing happened, thought it was the charger, tried a different htc charger and nothing again. So i plugged it into my computer and a few minutes later the light started to flash. I let it flash for a few minutes and unplugged it from the computer and plugged it into a charger and turned it on and it charged up.
Long story short, plug it into your computer for a while then turn it on and charge it normally.

Happened to me also but when running bricked kernel.
If your not running the stock kernel you need to put the phone on the charger and just wait untill the red led starts to blink ( it can take 5mins for this to happen )
Then allow it to blink for a few mins then power on as normal and remove the charger.
It will boot and moan it has no charge so plug the charger back in once its booted fully, then leave it to charge.
once at 100% reboot and bam your back up and running as normal.

Here are some people facing the same problem as you do.
There is a file (script) that can override those stuff,it is meant for fastboot (usb) mode,and on adb you type the commands and the phone starts to charge (slowly) but it is getting the electricity.
Search the threads,and find it,I'm 99% possitive that you're phone is not fully bricked.
Best of luck
So lets give the guy some proper help. Tell me exactly where you are now ? Is the phone charged ? If you have enough power to boot in recovery ? It will charge within recovery so you can leave the phone on and in recovery !
Download a ics rom (like viper x) see if that works oke !
put the phone in fastboot USB mode
Bootloader unlocked - if yes continue
Flash the cwm recovery 5.8.4.0
Fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Go into recovery and do a full wipe of everything. (Factory reset and wipe all caches)
Go to mounts & storage and mount as USB diskdrive
Copy the rom.zip to the phone sd card
Open the rom.zip and copy the boot.img to the fastbootfolder on pc
Put the phone back in fastboot USB mode
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Boot back into recovery and flash the rom
After that reboot the phone and it should boot up !
Ahh...
Lesson, this phone IS NOT TURNING ON!
And... unfortunately despite charged few hour... The phone still bricked and i can't turn it on :S

What you can try is to plug it into a pc .... i saw a post before that someone did that and that he could turn on the phone a few hours later. It's worth the try right !

Thanks, i try it and i write later.
Not working :S
My PC is detecting only the APX hardware. And my phone keep dead.
It's rather hardware issue. Service maybe?
1x, xda premium hd
Apx hardware? I think your memory is corrupt.
Try plugging your phone into charger overnight, then into pc for charge and hold the Vol dwn + pwr for 15 seconds, if the phone doest turn on then you have dead hardware. You can go back to HTC and tell them it stopped working overnight ;D
The good thing in a bricked phone they can't find out whether your bootloader is unlocked or not.
However, some developers are interested in APX mode(because its not accessible in a working phone) and I THINK you can use nvflash (i have no idea how its used or whats its functions are)
APX Mode is when the phone detects very serious hardware damage. In short, you're ****ed.

Hi XDA,
I've searched in many threads but i can't find an anwser.
I've bricked my Galaxy Gio when i flashed a custom kernel. It was the kernel in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319816
Now it does nothing, I can't boot in any mode, not in download mode, not in recovery mode...
I have android 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
Is there any way to unbrick or is my phone just an expensive decoration now.
Thanks in Advance.
Hi !!!
same new here
This ll work in some cases
Hope this will work in your device as well
Pull the battery to kill the boot loop (or whatever is hosed up), put the phone into downloading mode and re-flash the stock ROM.
Free to try...
Thanks for quick reply but i can't go into download mode as i said. Also my phone is just totally off and won't boot at all. My pc also doesn't detect it when it is plugged in.

If not even adb detects it, i'm pretty sure you're buggered, mate.
did you try and leave the battery out for some 10 min or more?
If adb does not detect the phone after that, then it seems to be a brick for real.
Is your phone stop at the "samsung" when you turn on your phone?
If is this,it's very easy to unbrick
One easy procedure which you might want to try with no guarantee it'll work:
-Remove the battery, microSD and SIM from the phone.
-Prepare the Odin software and your ROM on a known working system
-Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable.
-With one hand, simultaneously hold Volume down, home and power.
-With your other hand, put the battery in the phone.
I was able to get Odin to detect an otherwise bricked phone this way. I was however unable to get further than the "setup connection" step. Maybe your outcome will be better.

Darkshado

Yes this way usually works. I've tested this way.
that worked for me to on a brick when it didnt even went on, no recovery, download mode etc, after waiting 2 weeks and trying to repair it myself I nearly throw it away, and then suddenly it went into download mode for about 1 or 2 seconds, wich told me the battery whasn't working.. so I started to charge the battery, and hoped it would boot, but it didn't.. using that method given above, I could get into download mode again, and flashes a new stock ROM. now I still have my phone, working.

Hello guys.
My Sony Xperia S got Hard bricked after i tried to partition my SDcard from TWRP recovery which unfortunately failed due to some reason.....
I had boot manager installed for dual boot and i had sony stock firmware 6.1.A.2.55 on the native and CM10 on loop ...
The partition was tried in TWRP for loop in Ext4 format
My Xperia S now does not respond to fastboot buttons as well as all other combinations ...
It doesnt light any LED not even while its connected to the charger..
The only thing that happens is when i connect it using USB cable without any combinations and the computer detects it as SEMC flash device..
Is there any method to flash using this mode?
I have tried every method on all the forums.(flashtool,fastboot,taking battery out ,power+vol up,everything )
Guys please i need serios help any experienced suggesions would be helpful ...
Please help :crying:
PS: i had never thought that trying to partition the SDcard would brick my phone..
Did you leave your phone connected to wall charger? How many hours you leave it? Mine SONY logo appear in 8 hours. Try it. It may help. Leave your phone connected yo wall charger for sometime.

How the duck did you take your battery out? It has an INBUILT one, why would you take apart the entire phone?
Then, after telling you how stupidly you did that;
can you go back into the recovery? (probably yes, but it's weird)
Did you ACTUALLY take apart the phone to take the battery out? (probably not)
Do you have an unlocked bootloader? (i think you do, but not sure...)
Do you still have warranty? (probably yes)
Try again, because if the orange LED showed up, it's probably not too late...
Now go and use FlashTool once more...

yes i took the phone apart took the battery out ...waited long enough for the capacitors to discharge and then again put it in...
no i can't get back into the recovery ...i can't even boot the phone and no combination is working
yes i have an unlocked bootloader
no on't have the warranty..
The orange LED glows up while charging only
the phone does not go to fastboot or any other mode so i can't use flash tool
the only thing that comes on the computer when i plug the USB is "SEMC flash device" ....which non of the tools recognise
Guys please ...is there anyone out there who can help me? :crying:
I do believe you DID have warranty up until the moment you took apart the phone (I think the repair service guys would fix your phone without chacking for a locked BL...)

I'm starting to think that my case could be a corrupted bootloader, where I have to use JTag to try to save, but I don't know anyone who have a JTag, neither in my country.
I don't know what could be, but I still entering in flashmode or fastboot and my PC recognize my phone with testpoint, so I think that maybe is not a hardware problem...

Hi, I decided to post it here because it seems that anything I post on Xperia Ion forum is not read, it is inactive.
I already searched everywhere and I'm loosing my hopes. I'm trying to revive an Xperia Ion and this is what I get:
When I plug the phone in the wall charger the red led turns on for some minutes and then turns off.
The same happens when I plug on PC, when the led turns off it is detected as "Somc flash device" in windows device manager and this shows in flashtool:
INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
Nothing changes if I plug in pc with volume + or - pressed, it don't goes into fastboot or flashmode.
I hope you could help me. Thanks

So last night I was rooting a Kindle Fire 2. It's running 10.2.6. I was following a tutorial on this forum and I succeeded in rooting it. I flashed TWRP on it, but for some reason that didn't work. I tried booting to recovery and got a red triangle with an exclamation point inside it. It said it failed to boot. The device still worked at that point during the install. It was low on battery, though I had it plugged into my laptop. I was in fastboot and the device stopped receiving commands from it for some reason (I wasn't able to figure out why). Then the battery died. I guess a laptop usb port doesn't properly charge a tablet. But anyways, I plugged it into a wall charger for a couple hours and now it won't turn on. When I plugged it in, a charging light never came on. I used this same charger earlier in the evening and it charge the Kindle with no issues whatsoever, so I know it isn't the charger or cable failing to charge the device.
So here is where I stand:
When it died, it would still successfully boot
I was in fastboot when it died
Fastboot would not take commands from my laptop, whereas it had before I tried flashing TWRP (by that I mean when I try to send commands via the command line, it would simply say <waiting for device>)
The device is successfully rooted and bootloader unlocked
I've tried pulling the battery; I've tried holding the power button for 20 seconds, for 30 seconds and for short periods of time; I've tried any possible command from the computer. I haven't tried a factory cable because I don't have one. What do I do now?

Is that a problem?
Other than voiding the warranty since you opened the device... And removed a battery not meant to be removed? Naaaah
You should NEVER have to pull the battery on ANY android device.
Edit: couple more things
1. As long as you are USING the device it won't charge on USB to PC. Always better to charge off a wall outlet. MUCH faster charging too.
2. NEVER flash a ROM if your battery is low.

When the bootloader was unlocked, the warranty was voided. That's not an issue to me.
I've found that pulling a battery is a perfectly valid way to reboot a device, if nothing else will work, but I always consider it a last resort.
Ah ok. I didn't know that. I'm familiar with phones, so tablets are still new to me.

But the bootloader wasn't technically unlocked AND you could restore back to stock or whatever for replacement if necessary.
Phones are the same way. You can always hold the power button for a hard shutdown or reboot. The only reason i don't recommend it on the kf is that its a sealed device. Sure, if the battery dies, replace it. But anyway.. Not trying to be argumentative bro lol. Sorry cant really help though.

Well. I'm pretty sure the FFF boot loader is inserted AFTER the actual boot loader by using the stack exploit. If this isn't 100% correct, please correct me of I'm wrong.
I would try the factory cable though.. See if you can get one from SKORPN.
It sounds like your only option

sorry for my bad english ....
You can follow 2 methods.
Easy but time consuming method:
Connect your phone to charger and wait untill it automatically reboot. The flash ftf file. (It may take 10-15 hours or more to reboot)
Difficult but fast method.
Dessemble your phone. Remove/disconnect battery cable from your phone. Reconnect it. Connect it to flashtool as fast as you can and flash ftf file.

You need to look for the bricked thread in general. You have two options
1. Take it apart and undo the ribbon cable.
2. Go through the steps in the bricked thread but it will take a long time and you have to plug it into the factory charge block not your computer.

I have such a problem too. I rooted my XPERIA Ion phone successfully and restarted. the phone was healthy and had no problem. I installed font installer and selected a font and installed it, rebooted and my phone went through bootloop and continiously restarted. XPERIA logo appeared and after several seconds disappeared for about 30-40 minutes untill it turned off and now no charge no boot and no shutdown. I tried to flash my phone by flashhtool but Windows coud not recognize my phone. Just display screen is on and no image no OS no menu is displayed and you can't access anything. please help me.
thank you

Switch off your phone and charged your phone until orange led glow.maximum charging time 15hrs to 35hrs.then you will see that orange led come up.after orange led come up charge your phone until green led.then plug out your phone and flash your phone with flash tool.

As avik said you need to let it charge. You are in a soft brick state so you will need to put it on the factory charger and let it charge until you get a response from it. If you mess with it before it is ready you will only make it a longer process.
I would not try changing the font unless you are on a de odex rom. If you try to change things on a factory rom you will most likely get a boot loop.
After doing a bit of reading on the app why in the world would you even try it?? So many reviews saying it bricked the device and yet you still tried it?? Make sure you read thoroughly before you go trying out stuff. Every response for a newer device is claiming a brick so use your head.
Even i have the same problem which was said by user:avik6123 . what does reboot technically refer to is it just seeing red led light over the mobile or will it switch on automatically. i have got the red led but when i connect it to system with usb cable holding volume down key it doesnt show the green led (flash mode). only the red led is on as if it is charging. can u please help me out??
Just find the soft brick thread at the top of this forum...it'll solve nearly any software related problem you're having...its just a matter of being patient and letting the phone battery completely die...
The main soft brick most owners run in to is trying to hard reset the phone when the device is in a state that you shouldn't do that...holding volume down for 10 seconds with the power button for 3 vibrates is a sure way to completely trash the kernel if the phone is in some sort of problematic state...
you then need to make sure the phone is not responding to anything...no button presses or combinations give any sort of response...then put the phone on the WALL charger...if the battery has not died yet, you'll get no LED when plugged in...don't worry about it being plugged in, this is NOT charging the phone yet...its just a good gauge for when the battery completely dies...after 10+ hours, the LED should start to blink red...leave it on there...after another couple of hours, it should turn solid red...now you're getting somewhere...
you can either get flashtool ready and try to start flashing back to a 'safe' firmware and/or just the kernel...or leave it on the charger until its solid green...which will remove any threat of the device having enough battery to complete the charge...If you take the phone off when LED is solid red, but still not getting into flashmode properly...its need to charge a little longer, and always use the wall charger for this...it charges much faster...
NEVER try to start the phone in this state, though...you'll end up right back where you started...the brick is happening because of corrupted boot data, which will be on the device until you flash over it...the hoops you have to jump through to fix it is all because of having a sealed battery...thats why it takes so long and is so annoying, but what is causing the problem is actually very simple to fix...you just have to be patient and read all the tutorials in order to get out of it...
You don't need to put your phone to charge for like several hours, that's bull, just flash another ROM. I've done it so it works even with 0 % battery power. So anyone who want's to comment my advice, get lost.

Easy but time consuming method:
Connect your phone to charger and wait untill it automatically reboot. The flash ftf file. (It may take 10-15 hours or more to reboot)
Difficult but fast method.
Dessemble your phone. Remove/disconnect battery cable from your phone. Reconnect it. Connect it to flashtool as fast as you can and flash ftf file.

I am having problems downloading and opening flashtool. Won't open because quicktime does not recognize file. Any suggestions? Also, my phone has been on the wall charger for over 12 hours and still shows red charging light since I first plugged it in.

What do you mean by flash another ROM. I don't know much when it comes to this stuff but my phone shut down and i could never recover. When I plug it into the wall charger, the red light comes on but I don't know what to do from here. Could you help PLEASE!
I would recommend attacking a rubber band around the volume down button while connected to the computer where flash tool is already in the flashing mode. This way, it will immediately flash as soon as it can.

I can not download a flash tool program to my computer so how will it go into flashing mode. Sorry i'm not very good with this kind of stuff. I know it's frustrating. If you could give me detailed instructions, that would be greatly appreciated.
Ok, so i finally downloaded flashtool but my computer doesn't detect my phone when I plug it in. When I search for devices, my xperia ion is not in the list. Please HELP!!!!
@Shortie71
In order to even contemplate flashing, you NEED i repeat NEED flashtool.
http://www.flashtool.net/download.php
You MUST download it to flash anything onto your phone
The issue you are having is a drivers issue.
My recommendation is to ask in the MAIN question and answers thread about where and how to get drivers since your phone is already soft bricked (installing sony pc companion and inserting phone will therefore not work)
Then, you can properly flash after you have the proper drivers

Hi all,
Need some help with my Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 4GB/32GB.
Decided to flash Nougat custom ROMs so followed these steps
Connected phone to PC and ran MM BL upgrade. It completed successfully.
Rebooted to BL, then rebooted to recovery, saw the new 3.0.2-M1 TWRP.
Went to TWRP and activated Sideload, ran ADB sideload command to load Nougat DU. It completed 100%.
Proceded to sideload gapps but connection failed. Maybe need to reactivate sideload in TWRP again.
Touched USB cable and the phone switched off. Ever since then it does not boot up and screen does not light up anymore.
Phone was on MM RR, BL unlocked. Battery was at 100% when performing the above actions.
Is there anything else (other than bringing it to ASUS) I can do to revive the phone?
Hi , I'm in a rush here , just one question to start ..
Can you get into bootloader via buttons not connected to charger ?
Do you know how to ?
Ps , you don't need to sideload roms in twrp , you just install them after usual wipes.

I can't. The way is to press the volume up and power buttons at the same time, and release the power button when the phone vibrates after a few seconds.
On my phone there was no response whatsoever.
Yeah I know I don't have to sideload ROMs, but I was lazy to copy it to the SD card.
Plus I had plans to wipe the internal SD card, so didn't copy there either...

Sounds like you are bricked my friend
but do try holding power button and vol for a good length of time...then power button too on its own for some time..
If and when you get two vibes , if no boot loader
Check unbrick threads .
If get bootloader , scroll to recovery select it .
Next time download roms to fone
safer !
I think kernel is in panic mode. Try disconnecting the battery for a little while and then reconnect it. You'll have to open your phone to do it. There are many YouTube videos to see how you can do so. It's not that difficult. Good luck!
I'm in the same boat... no even LED while connected to the charger... Already disconnected the battery and closed again. No joy. Is this a "deep brick of death"?? Its too expensive to give away without fight a little. Any help is more than welcome
There are threads on xda that describe how to revive hard bricks.
For me, disconnecting and reconnecting the battery had worked.
Please make sure that battery is connected perfectly.
Sometimes , leaving on charge brings at least the two vibes back eventually
That's enough to start xFSTK unbricking process.
Besides the already mentioned battery disconnect.
I seen one guy revive by disconnecting USB board too

Looking at unbricking threads.
Problem is the PC was unable to detect the phone in IntelSOC mode. Absolutely no response.
I will try different OS and machines though

You mean leave it connected to PC to charge until the two vibes came back?
I originally did have the two vibes, but the phone was connected to the charger at that point.
Unfortunately I don't have the vibes even connecting to the same charger now.
I believe the solution now is to try to recover the bootloader and restore the OS.
Question is how to get it detected in PC in IntelSOC mode.
Things to try:
Disconnect battery
Disconnect USB board
Try different PCs and OS

When you get two vibes back , you can install isoc driver and your PC will recognise it.
In the early days before unbricking knowledge of zen 2 , I also witnessed the same , blank screen no vibes
What I did was leave it on charge , every hour or so ..press power plus vol plus , quick press , then after a longer press , if nothing then just power , quick press and a longer press.
Then I awoke to the vibes
Once the vibes start , then its install isoc , don't install xFSTK downloader until driver is set up
PS , that was before we found discon of battery method and still had warranty

Can I ask how many times you tried before getting the two vibes back?
And it was connected to the PC's USB port?
I asked because I did have the vibes when connecting to the wall charger.
But it went away when I then connect to the PC. And now there are no vibes even when connecting to wall charger.

Leave on charge , means exactly that, leave on charger .
Leave it on a full day , if fone gets warm its charging .
Try all the stuff already mentioned.
Some people have give up , thrown fones in draw and 3 months later come back to life.
Some people hot wired battery straight to charger too, but that's off limits .
There is nothing straight forward that works for everyone , here is a few exanples of what revived many fones ,you pay the price for being lazy
We all learn the hard way
