I'm fairly a noob when it comes to rooting and whatnot, however i've learned quite a bit since i've started. I rooted nexus s with no hassel. My friend the other day gave me a LG Nitro HD, the phone boots shows the LG logo then goes to the Clockworkmod touch 5.8.2. I have tried installing roms on it, it will install the rom and run then when i try to reboot, the soft keys will flash for 2 mins before showing the LG logo and going back to the Clockworkmod again. Keep in mind there is nothing on the SD card besides the signed_HO!NO!_p930 i have tried other os's too. I don't know exactly what he did to his phone. Please help me out. Thanks a bunch guys :laugh:

I am going to stop bye a shop were I know a guy that does rooting and such and take the phone to see...Will keep you posted from this side anxious to read what others may say.
Try following machzelets or mattman86's unbricking guide. Well thats if you can get into download mode.

I know I cannot get into download mode, Will be interested to see if Lugman can or not ... So unbricking is not an option at this point for me. Tried that yesterday also.
Lugman please post any progress sounds though we are in the same river of CWM... Why the HOX is so easy compared to this ....
Try charging it then do a battery pull then plug in the USB while holding the volume update. This should bring up a screen saying download mode. Then unbrick from there.

I had almost the same exact problem, except mine was from trying to flash a zImage that I built. My symptoms were exactly like yours. The phone is hard bricked and can only be revived through jtag. Also a usb jig had no effect on my bricked phone.
what is jtag

Didn't mean to thank you wanted to quote. Can you get into recovery at all. The sr forum roms can be without an issue be installed into our devices even koodoo. Might need a rotation fix but they are all compatible. Pls post what recovery, what rom and the steps taken to flash the aforementioned rom. I will try my best to help you out and get you back to flashing again...

no recovery at all.phone is completely dead.i cant remember what rom it was sorry brain fart.i flash new roms all the time and followed to a tee.after i flashed i i hit reboot system frolm recovery mode and my phone and screen went blank and thats when it died.like i mean absolutely nothing.600 dollar paper weight
2 options.. mobiletechvideos.com or warranty exchange... or last resort you can try and jig it yourself...
On the other hand is there anyway to test the battery? Could be a dead cell and that could cause you not to be able to turn on. ... try this, go into your nearest tmo store and see if you can test with one of their batteries. They should do that without any charge.

Hello everyone I have bricked my note 2 and suddenly I can't boot because it's stucked on the Samsung Logo. After i installed a font program it said that I had to reboot and then I did.
And then I was trying to recover with "recovery-cwm-6.0.1.5-N7100"
But right now it doesn't display more than Samsung galaxy note 2...
Would be awesome if you guys can help me
Well youre in luck because if it showing a Samsung logo its not bricked.
Second just flash the factory image found in the android development forum. You can do this by booting into download mode by holding the power button and home button and volume down as it boots and then use odin to flash the .tar factory image you just downloaded...its simple really. So dont panic because its entirely fixable!
Just go find a guide on how to flash factory images and youll find step by step Instructions

I'd have to be shown it is possible to brick a high end samsung device. Between recovery and in the worst cases Odin or in some cases emergency recovery in Kies I have recovered from a complete non bootable phone. No vibrate, no splash screen, nothing. One of the real positives to Samsung and their software. An, as far as I am concerned, virtually unbrickable smartphone.

Ill tell you a way. Go flash some roms from other phones see what kind of damage that does. Most people dont make efs backups until its too late. See jow many times you can flash in correct roms before you lose that all important imei

If you soft-bricked your phone because you messed up the fonts like me just now, you don't have to reflash the entire ROM!
Instead it's enough to just restore the fonts via one of the zip files found [URL="]http://tips4droid.com/how-to-install-jelly-bean-font-by-flashing-it-through-cwm-recovery/#.US8t2Ddc1ic"here:[/URL]
I copied the zip file to my external SD card and then used CWM Recovery to install it to my phone.
To enter CWM Recovery, press Volume UP, Home and Power Button at the same time.
Hope this is helpful!
Cheers, FW

There might be others, such as me, you know...
what i did the other day was.....
i was installing different ROMs. maybe 3 or 4 a day just to get a feel for different ones. Since i am using a t889 on NET10's ATT network, i wanted to ATTEMPT to change over my phones hardware or internal settings to pick up the ATT towers better... my phone is already unlocked for ATT, so whatever im attempting is not needed. not knowing exactly what I'm doing I confused myself a bit. I went to the GooManager recovery page and was wiping all my information so i can install another ROM. while wiping the information off my phone, i was browsing through my SD card i had in the phone and saw a modem pack i put on it. FORGETTING that i just deleted everything i went ahead and just installed the modem pack and rebooted my phone. lol it got stuck on the SAMSUNG GALAXT NOTE 2 page. my MAC, PC & KIES on both weren't picking up my phone via USB. i left the phone attached to my PC and went to get dinner. came back 2 hours later and saw that my phone was connected to the computer. I ran ODIN, put a stock image of tmobiles system on the phone and had to start over with my ROM experiment.
needless to say, i was bummed thinking that i just broke such a nice phone.

And bricked means brick...paperweight...no life, no lights
I prefer Sponged=soft-bricked means you can odin in stock firmware and restore service
So I recently rooted my phone with this tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkkcCCjeUpI
Everything went great and I was rooted. So next I decided I wanted to flash a rom. So I decided this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817345
I looked over it and followed its instructions. So I flashed it. I also flashed the google apps.
This is where the problems started. I rebooted my phone, and It never would show the boot logo. I kept pulling the battery and it would not start. I thought the battery might be dead so I charged it, and still nothing. I noticed when I plug it into my computer and it makes the little connection noise. (Like my computer is reconising the device) But still nothing on the screen. I tried to connect it to odin and it does not show the device.
So I have looked all over the internet (including these forums) and have found no help. Sounds like I might have bricked my device.
So my last question, If I did indeed brick my device will this fix it? (I mean will it atleast get it into download mode?)

Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks, Griffsbrown
Boot into recovery and restore the nandroid you made before you flashed.
Man sure sounds like most the people having problems are cause they are rooted/modded. Hope its a simple fix for you. GL.
You flashed a rom for a different phone, its dead pretty much. research jtag I read its about 60-100$ read more in the future.

You flashed a ROM for a different phone. That is why you can not boot. Are you able to get into download mode? from the power off state, press and hold the volume down and home bottons and the power button. This should bring you into download mode. IF you can get there then you should be able to recover.
always be careful when flashing roms if you can get into download mode like the above poster said then your lucky and can odin a root66 and you will be back to before you installed the wrong ROM.
If you cant ........... your bricked my friend time to learn a lot more about jtag (which is a lot more difficult than odin READ READ READ
The only thing is people have been installing ATT roms for some reason their phones are not bricking but unless the dev says it works i wont try it.
ONLY USE ROMS FOR YOUR PHONE im really new and one of the first things to know.
Bricked! Search for mobile tech videos jtag fix.

So i bricked my Samsung Galaxy S3. I believe it is hard bricked because there is absolutely no response from the phone. Can't boot into recover, download, or regular boot. The phone has at least 40% battery when I last saw it work.
I was attempting to roll back my android OS to see if I could extend my battery life but every time i tried using odin my download mode would give me "sv rev check fail" so i attempted to unlock the boot loader. I couldnt odin it so I flashed a custom rom to check if I could flash roms on my phone. The slimkat custom rom worked but when I tried to flash back to stock I would get the sv error. I saw that EZ-Unlock app would work so i tried it out. The app said it unlocked but when I restarted the phone to get into download mode, the phone seems to be bricked.
I have a usb jig but it doesnt seem to force my phone in to download mode and I am waiting on a micro SD card to try to un brick it. How can I use the micro card to un brick the Tmobile version of SG3?
Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999
First of all the bootloader is NOT locked, so whatever that app does it was not mean for this device.. You should never attempt to downgrade firmware, it has been stated many times that there is high risk to hard brick when you try to bypass this restriction. The unbrick might work
Follow instructions in the debrick thread and hopefully it'll work.

thats what i used on my first S3. bricked it like a............brick.lmfao.
gave it to some guy and i here now that he was able to revive it by some magical hoo-doo crap. well thats what i deserve for not reading reading and reading some more.
well , good for him is all i can say.! at least its gettin used ! :sly:
err on the side of kindness
Lol! I couldn't remember for sure if that's how it had happened on this thing, so I didn't want to say for certain that it was fixable. (Should a just asked you, but in my own defense, what's left of my mind these last few weeks is pretty much a scrambled mess!)
Anyway, I can 100% confirm that this type of brick is fixable. Using it as we speak/type!
And thanks to mrrocketdog for saving my a$$ with this thing! I may not have been around at all the last little while if not for him! (Might be back using my sad little MyTouch 3G Slide!)
