Bricked phone?

Well i tried putting a theme on my phone after i put beastmod 3.0 (no beastmod did not brick my phone.. was working fine before i tried flashing my own theme) and now idk what to do.. when i turn my phone on.. it passes the whole "synergy kernal" animation but after that its a black screen with force close pop ups.. something about my twlauncher is failing.. it wont let me get passed that.. whats there to do?

A reflash of beast should fix it. Since the 3.0 just came out today I doubt any themes are ready for it.

Just get into recovery and flash beastmod over it...to get into recovery hold vol up n down keys and turn on ur phone while holding them, then let the power button go n keep holding volume keys and that would take you into recovery...

Glad your problem was quicked so fast, OP. This is in the wrong thread, but should be addressed if it's a ROM problem - should be in the BeastMod thread or in another forum.

Mod please delete.
From a glaxay better than yours.

This is not a development questions nor were you even close to bricked. Please in the future search before posting because if you had you would have seen that since your phone even partially booted you were completely safe. Also, do NOT post in the development section unless you are posting something you developed.

really struggling here. first day coming from the evo. i rooted, backed up with clockwork and flashed this caulkin rom. i am in an endless boot loop somhow. problem is i cant seem to be able to get into clockwork now and fix things. at first when i held volume and power it went into ODIN downloading mode which i am completely unfamiliar with
please help, how can i get into clockwork to reinstall my backed up rom? how do i get out of this loop? thanks.

My friend asking for help here is not a problem but coming from the Evo like I did you know that there are ways out of just about anything. Like the poster above said is 100% correct. Instead of sitting here waiting for answers use Google, use the stickies remember what you did prior on your Evo. Now for my part of helping you out, its vol up + power will take you to recovery. Or here's a thought plug it in your pc and use adb.. How about the command adb reboot recovery..
Now to me if you read up on the phone research threads before you went in on it then these trouble shooting tips would be second nature. Sorry if I sound like a **** but too many of us are in here messing with phones and have no clue what to do if we screw up and especially when there are a million HELP ME THREADS....
Good luck and hope it works out for you...

This was my problem you need to hold them at the same time for waaaaay longer than needed on the evo.
Once i got in clockwork it was smooth sailing but there was no way for me to know these subtle differences

That was kinda my point. If you did a little research or better yet QbKing has a million videos you would of know this.

Phone won't turn on after installing WanamLite | Help

Hey guys, I'm new to the boards and to Android. I was a very longtime user of iPhone and iOS until recently I returned my iPhone 5 for a Note II.
I apologize before hand if I'm coming off as a noob--thats cause I am--but I've ran into a problem.
Late last night I backed up my stock rom and installed [XXDLJ2 4.1.2][V2.0] WanamLite | Aroma. Everything went fine, the phone was working fine and after a while, I knocked out.
This morning the phone wasn't on so I figured it was dead. I immediately left it charging for a couple of hours and when I returned, the phone was still dead, no sign of life.
I'm starting to panic and I'm really hoping someone can help me.
I truly apologize for the noobing and if this thread isn't posted where it supposed to be, please accept my apologies..
thank you in advance.

Can you force into download mode or recovery. Wanamlite isnt s rom for this device so your gonna have problems with it. You need to go back to a device-stable build
Edit...are you sure your batt didnt go completely dead? Sometimes you have to use a external batt charger when its been drained all tge way

Is it even booting to a splash screen (Samsung logo)? If it is, you can force it into download mode and Odin back to stock. There are tutorials on how to do so out there.
If it doesnt turn on at all, or if it just vibrates with a dark screen, you probably have a hard brick and may want to try warrantying it out. I've never had a softbrick that wouldn't power on, and I'd be wary of your Craigslist guy if he says a phone that shows no signs of life is a soft brick...

I was the one who made mention that there was not sign of life and he was able to determine that its a soft brick. He had me press vol down+home+power and it went into download mode.
I'm on my way to go see him, he said he can fix it and install any ROM I'd like.

If I'm not mistaken, it's Clean ROM. The only issue I have is that my cell network is gone. I called and went to a retail AT&T and they couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Luckily, he's cool and we've been in contact, should be fixed by tomorrow-- Unless you guys have any suggestion in what it might be and how it can be fixed. If not, I'll see him as soon as possible.

Would you be able to walk me through this? I'm savvy when it comes to this but I am new to Android.
Your help will be appreciated.

also check to see if you have an IMEI number as well. CleanROM is an att ROM with all the correct data APNs (AccessPointNames), e.g., made from the ATT Stock ROM, so you should be able to connect. on the otherhand, if you don't have an IMEI number you'll need to fix that before you can move forward.

I'm assuming that I have an IMEI only cause the AT&T rep looked at it when I went to the store. Anyhow, it doesn't hurt to double check. Thank you for your quick responses.

So I tried this and it tells me "Insert SIM card to access netword services." I certainly have a SIM card and its a new one. Any suggestions?

As said above, waste of $50 for sure. A little patience/reading/searching would have allowed you to do this yourself.. free.

That's what I was thinking as well; the modem might have been lost or corrupted. Easy fix.
OP, if you can get yourself into download mode, you're up against a soft brick. Once you're in download mode, fixing the phone is easy for almost any level of experience. Do some reading here, skim through ROM threads and read the stickies inside-out. There's nothing that guy did that a few hours of research and a little coaching can't help you do yourself.

[Q] Ways to prevent new OTA (33 MB) from installing after it's downloaded?

So apparently VZ pushed out the update to my phone this morning. When I saw it, it was just finishing "downloading firmware". Damn. Then it asked to schedule a time to install. For now I put 11 pm tonight and did NOT check the install automatically box.
Is there anything I can do at this point to ensure it won't install?

That's good to hear... So the process won't go ahead unless you manually click yes? I definitely did not click the "install automatically" box. But my past experience with VZ OTA updates was that they will push it through regardless if they wish (thinking back to the Thunderbolt update that took away free tethering). Basically, there would be very short window (say one a minute or so) where you had to deny the update process. The thing was, VZ would pop up these requests at random time intervals, seemingly disregarding the scheduled time you set. It was just downright mean...

Mine started up this morning too. Definitely don't want this. I'm completely stock and locked down myself.

I thought about that, but I'm in no hurry to start switching ROMs especially after reading about people not being able to make calls all of a sudden. Granted there was a fix found, but it's just too much work for me. Besides, this phone won't be locked down forever.

you guys can freeze apps right?

Trying to port Firefox OS, need some help.

Okay, so I have all my files in place and followed the instructions to a T.. except one part. I had to add the Optimus G into the config file, which then requires a manifest(?). This file is an XML and I have no idea how to even begin creating one for the LGOG. I've looked all over Google for answers, but nothing.
The Rookie ROM building tutorial seems to give a manifest of sorts, but that isn't working.
I'm pretty sure that after this one issue is resolved, I can build Firefox OS for the Optimus G succesfully.
Thanks for any help I can get and I hope to start building soon!
Here's the link to the manifest for the Nexus 4 that's already in the Git Repo, this one works, but not for the LGOG

Yup, tried a battery pull to no avail.
The only response I get is if I hold the power button (with or without any combination of the volume keys).
That gets me a brief red flash of the LED.
