So i just created this thread to alert you all of a possible TOUCH brick situation !
*#*#2663#*#* (don't dial) is a Samsung secret code that brings a touch screen firmware info window . Now a days most custom Roms come pre installed with an app called Samsung secret codes and unfortunately i was on one such Rom and i tried this code - on the window that appeared there was an update button and not knowing what it does i clicked it and a pop up showing updating alongwith the usual busy circle came up ! I waited for the process to finish but even after waiting 10-15 minutes the circle was still there and a when i pressed the back key i was shocked to realize that doesn't respond nor was the menu key responding ! i pressed the home button and voila ! - i came back to the home screen btw again to my awe i touched the screen only to realize that my touch isn't working - the phone responds to all hardware buttons but touch ain't working
i rebooted and still no luck ! i thought no big deal and flashed stock Rom via Odin - but this time i was really shocked to death to find that even though stock Rom got flashed without errors and my phone booted fine my touch was still screwed up !
after hours of Googling and tensions a friend of mine finally found a method and solved the issue using this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22709246&postcount=1
morale : Enough of long boring story - all i wanted to tell is that NEVER EVER dial *#*#2663#*#* and do update - it won't give you any benefit and chances of screwing up are very high ! and if at all you accidentally get into this then wait for the updating process to complete no matter how long it takes !

The update might have been successful then - in my case it failed or i rebooted before it completed !
One time, my brain plays N00B and my finger pressed on update.
And my touchscreen is not bricked (but dont try this option)
thanks for this..i wont take a risk to update my Touch FW haha
I tried that earlier on creed 3.5 screwed up the touch. I had to reflash the rom

Ok my phone is DEAD! Yes I have have read alot of posts and used my mate "Google" but they are all saying or pointing to the threads saying flash with the .sdf files with RSD which I have done Infact i've tried most .sdf images. I work in ICT so I know to do research first before posting but I'm not getting anywhere. I just hope i'm being a numpty and missed something.
I have an unbranded UK one original version 2.21 and I had successfully flashed with the available roms on here and others by following the steps, but last night I flashed it with PAYS rom and it was fine but then it all went pear shaped when I tried to flash it back to the original 2.21 rom via RSD Lite but it's just a black screen and when plugged in I get a charge light. The Battery is fully charged.
I can not enter Bootloader and when I enter system recovery it does not respond when pressing the bottom right hand corner.
RSD does see the phone connected and it runs through the process of flashing it but then it goes to re-boot and nothing. RSD says it's finished, it does not go through the process of re-booting the phone.
In RSD on the phone properties this is all I get:-
IMEI/ESN/MEID: N / A
Technology: N / A
Software Version: N / A
Flex Version: N / A
Bootloader Version: v0x000910
DRM Version: N / A
AP Die ID: 1e600209036f60010000d8ff0100

Simple way to start off is to start with original UK 2.51 sbf. Forget 2.2 now and start from beginning. I bricked mine trying Pays too.

Hi,
I have tried flashing the 2.51.sbf even tho it has the problems with downgrading. It does the same as the the other 5 or 6 i've tried.
Thanks for your suggestion tho.
I'm no expert, but is this where the touch all four corners going clockwise starting is upper left comes in?
Thought I read something about doing that when touching the single corner didn't work to get into recovery.
I could have misremembered (don't even know if it was in this forum), but it couldn't be that hard to try and it doesn't sound like you have much to lose.
maybe search four corners or something to figure out more.
Maybe time for factory repair

I think it may be time to call Motorola. Thanks for the tips guys.
Just tried the battery hack to charge it but nothing, even uninstalled everyting and downloading fresh .sbf files from work and still DEAD!
RIP Moto Defy, it was only one week old!
On a life experience tho, my first even bricked device......woooohoooooooo!
I've had quite a few phones that I have customized from here, top effot guys. There are many greats minds on here.
Think as i've just lost it, it could be time to retire and go (dare I say it!) mainstream, run of the mill Nokia.....GULP!
In the future it would be better to post these issues in the thread of the ROM you are having issues with. More people who may have had similar issues may be able to help you and it helps the dev know what issues you're having.

Did you send it away?. You sounded like a bright guy we could have solved this together though . Ultimate thing you could have done was to flash one of the leaked original UK froyo sbf. If you still have not sent it then do this. BTW what is the bootloader version when you put it on vol up+ power ?
Have the same problem
The phone is briked. Only RSD is working but wathever sbf I flash, at the end i get the same black screen. I can not do anything. Please could someone help us?
If someone send their phone to service, please share the result.
The only sbf file that start the phone is
JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_117-002_BLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_USAJRDNEMARAB1B8RTGB035.0R_USAJRDNFRYORTGB_P003_A002_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
but is working hard, the market is not working, everything i want to download is say that is downloading and nothing hapends.
Could someone tell me how to go back to original software?
The recovery mode is not working, when the android face is showing, i tap all corners and all display area but nothing hapend.
For recovery mode, you should click both vol up and vol down simultaneously. They changed the recovery button function with the new bootloader.

and i succeded to restore my "brick" into one working phone.
Try it.
Many thanks to : adlx.xda
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11226369&postcount=5 works for me
Umm... I just bricked mine (HK version 2.51.0) as well.
I used ClockWorkMod Recovery for Defy to install 3.4.2 131-003 Orange Deblur. When the recovery finished, I found a tiny yellow line "E: can't open /cache/recovery/command" on the bottom of screen. Not sure if it was there before the recovery. When rebooted the phone showed the M logo for a minute, turned black for a second, and showed the M back again in loop.
Then I installed RSDlite 4.8 to flash the sbf directly. RSDlite finished and showed a "Pass". The phone was turned off automatically but couldn't be turned on again. The battery was fully charged before I started the update so it's not likely the battery charge problem.

Heys guys thanks for all the comments, but last night it came alive.
I used 3 different computers and in the end the last pc I used was a WIN 7 x64 machine and it managed to complete the .sbf install which was a 34.4 version then i applied my previously nand backup to 34.4.4 US T-Mobile version which is Jboogie3 rom.
Keep up the good work guys and gals. This is an excellent community to be in.

Hi guys,
Any idea for what to do with a black screen brick S5660? I tried most things i could come up with for like a month now xD
Maybe its time to ask for help hehe
i went from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 then put superuser on it with root.
Then putted cwm on it and last of all rom manager then flashed a wrong rom it seems ( was late didnt pay enough attention and i was stil bit noobie back then )
and after that it never came back alive shamely.
I tried every button combo and only thing windows7 x64 seems to see is download mode with a black screen so i tried Odin but its stuck on connection setup always with whatever ROM i use and on whatever port.
Also tried my gf's comp same story.
I even tried vmware and did a guest windows7 32 on it to flash but same story blegh
Any ideas? would be awesome if someone knew the answer
One thing, never use ROM manager on a Gio it will be flashed to a brick
you can test this..
coz my phone is oke..

You managed to get your phone up and working again? How?
I flashed CWM Recovery 4.0.1.5 with Rom Manager... bad move indeed.

Sorry for late reply was on vacation etc lol BUT no in the end i couldnt get it to work on my own even with USB jig/every stock custom rom kernel bla bla in the world
Took it to shop and they switched my lil motherboard on it ( was fcked ) then it worked.
ps: phone now runs on cm9 with cwm 5+ and all kind of funny zhizzle
Shame the screen went poof on vacation when it dropped 10cm on a matras ( not joking )
So its black AGAIN with nice white dim lights when it refuses to switch on the LCD but the OS works lol
BUT THIS COULD MAYBE HELP PEOPLE
I can RUN it and SEE what it does with Android screen capture and sdk monitor ( very handy when ur screen is broken but OS isnt or in bootloop but u cant see screen cause its broken and ur wondering why doesnt it work :'( <-- my phone did that )
AND i can even TYPE in the screen with Remote web desktop + remote control add-on + wifi keyboard app with my OWN USB pc keyboard
( very handy when screen is broken on a non psyshical keyboard phone right? whaha
Tbh i didnt know any of these programs before this happened so i researched how to remote control an Android device on a desktop with a broken screen .
Hardly any info on that so here and there i read tried and added **** togheter for 4 days +- till it came out almost perfect ^^
Shame the screen is still broken lol but i got full control over it now 4 days ago that was 0% so im happy
EDIT: Try Android screencast. It shows the screen + u can click control it + keyboard when rooted over USB
EDIT - No sollution found!!
Please examine this thread if you have similar problems, but please don't ask how we got it fixed. The phone was just done for, dead, bricked, whatever you want to call it.
Good luck with yours!

Thats NOT a hard reset! Pull the battery, and insert it again. Now do your "hard reset". As in, holding volume up+home+power key together until you see the Samsung logo. Do a data wipe and restart. If that doesnt work, search for flashable firmware packages in the Development section. If that doesn't work either, replace your phone.
Hey guys,
Thank you both for your replies.

Stating what happened: He just suddenly had a white screen, unable to do anything with the phone. Rebooting, pulling the battery etc. didn't do anything.

Sorry about that, I just read in about this phone, since it's not mine, and I already forgot about the second part.
Unfortunately, neither of this works. Every boot method gets him a white screen. Since he rooted his phone about a week ago, looks like he's going to need a new one.

try flashing the ROM using Odin from the PC
Might Odin be the same as Samsung Kies in dutch? Or is this an external program?
Assuming it's this program: http://odin-win.sourceforge.net/
Now how does this work? I've been flashing my phone for quite a while now, but I'm not familiar with this program. Can I just download a ROM (stock) from the developers part here?

I dont think bootloader can be restored using only usb connection.
Probably some other devices are available to service center like JTAG..doplhinclip...which can be used to re-write the boot partition
Lol, Im not alone in this.
Did same thing by accident. googled for how-to restore the phone. But it did not seem possible to be done. So I sent it to Nokia Care.
Those guys at the Nokia office laughed for a long time, when I told them a story " how I got a new shiny green brick ".
Told me the repairs would take 2 weeks and cost arond $30
_________ UPDATE____________
Called to Nokia Care. They fixed the phone by changing the celluar module ( maybe with the whole motherboard ).
That means that bootloader can not be fixed, at least for now.
BE CAREFUL
Well Nokia has just replaced my device with a new one after 3 weeks
I got my device back frm care center..
They replaced the motherboard...as the phone was dead they didn't knew i rooted my phone...n i claimed my warranty

Your in the stock recovery pal. Hold down the power and volume keys and you will eventually get some options on the screen. Once they come up use the volume buttons to scroll and power to select. Btw, i suspect you have a htc wildfire S not the htc wildfire. So this would be the wrong forum for you if your phone does not have a trackpad at the bottom of the screen (looks like a circle with a dot in it) then you have the S model.

Okay, pull the battery out. Then put it back in after 5 seconds. Hold down volume down, then power and keep both pressed down until a wite screen with some writing comes up. There it should say hboot, a version number and s-on or s-off. What does yours say?
HTC Widlfire

Ah ha! Fantastic whoever else had this phone before you has done most of the hard work and security unlocked the bootloader already. http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.c...zip?key=kzoSRLwAaSgJsyXiuKJS4A&ts=1431506306 download this and place it onto your sdcard. Reboot into hboot and your hboot should request you to update the recovery. Select yes with volume up. After this you should reboot back into hboot without the sdcard in. Then select recovery from hboot and boot into it.
Once your in recovery you could either:
1. Wipe the data, cache and dalvik cache and then reboot the phone. This will reset the phone and hopefully fix and voot related issues.
2. Wipe the phone entirely and install a new rom. Cyanogenmod 7 is a good lightweight rom. Please look at the development section for all the roms available.
Just one question though, that screen damage looks like bad. Do you know what happened?

As I have said I recommend Cyanogenmod 7. Read the thread here Its a custom version but its more recent.
Now your screen, I suspect that those marks are from heat damage. Most likely from whoever else had the phone overclocking it. This could be a telltale sign of hardware damage through excessive use and it may never boot properly. I thought I should mention that.
Well i thats case would like to ask one more thing we will be able to fix it or not or its not worth it.

Depends, this phone is an old model as far as mobile phones are concerned. the cost of a motherboard and new lcd + digitizer could be the same cost as the phone in a used condition.
I work it out as £23.13 as the cheapest you could get the parts but then you would need to do a full tear down of the device in order to replace most of it. I mean basically your only keeping the frame, trackball, camera and some rubber bits.
Cheapest I can find to buy it in the uk is £25 ( with you needing to sim unlock it).
But I would add that you might as well try get cm7 on the device. The only thing it will cost you is time and you never know, the phone might be usable with CM7 on it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
OK bro let me first give a try with the cm7 rom and see if its work and hoping for the best

Sorry, i forgot to mention, the controls for the recovery are different from hboot. Push trackball to select items, power is now the back button.
let me give a try and see if its work i installed the rom from Sd card ad restarted the mobile and hoping this will work now
I tried to install stock rom that i have downloaded from HTC Website and that is not getting installed lets hope CM7 will work i can see the ultrabeam revolutionary Logo on the screen right now its still thinking up
