[HELP] Bricked, almost dead Defy+

i bought this Defy+ just a couple of days ago and i was trying to get CM7. I struggled to root it but i achieved it. I wiped and did all the procedure before installing it, but i didn't had enough space on my SD, so i rebooted and booted like a brand new defy, going through the Blur config and everything... So i went to Recovery again, but at this time i forgot to do the wiping - which, i guess, led to a brick.
So i managed to get a .sbf to flash it.. What i didn't realized is that the .sbf was a custom, so i guess this ****ed up my phone even more. And so i went on trying to rescue my phone but this time i couldn't complete the flashing process, i wasn't able to perform a downgrade - i guess. After this, i got a non-rootable .sbf and began the flashing. The process got stuck on some message at 0%, then i disconnected the phone.
When i was able to download a stock firmware, from the .sbf thread, the phone wouldn't reboot when RSD asked, it didn't turn on again. So i tried to re-flash it, same .sbf and now i'm stuck with this situation: the pc is not recognizing my phone, i have a black screen - not even the Bootloader error screen is appearing and i'm here, begging, for someone to help me. is it dead? can i get it back?
HELP, PLZ

Is there any juice in the battery left? Does the phone even turn on or did you just drain all of your battery? If so, you have a couple of options - do McGyver or find somebody with the same phone and ask him to charge your battery and then start over. I would strongly recommend you take the second option.

it doesn't turn on, but i guess it does have battery, i can see the led on when i connect it to the pc

Led is always on when connected to the PC - it means nothing. If it doesn't turn on, then your battery's dead. Find someone who has the same phone and can charge it for you.

I think there is no problem, but you flash older firmware, which is probably due to the 7 bootloader does not go up.

"As of today there is no a full SBF** for the Defy+ (found here).
This full SBF is a new CG Version**, with Android 2.3.6. You wont be able to go back to your Stock Defy+ Rom, but at least you wont kill it if something goes wrong."

i successfully flashed it but still it won't turn on, i'm almost giving up on this one

If it gets past the red m and just keeps playing the android animation then simply pull battery hold volume - put battery in and keep volume - held when you get the android and the triangle press volume + and - and wipe all, should boot, unfortunately you've just flashed the un root able sbf and are stuck on moto standard
teamwork makes the dream work

nevermind, i flashed other sbf version and it is now working; too bad this version isn't rootable
anyway, many many thanks for all the help

hey there. so its like this : 12-14 months ago i bought an galaxy note n7100 from a compeny called K.S.P any way they sold the phone with the original samsung rom beacuse the phone was in english and didnt had the option to change to my Language . approximately 2 months after i bought him i rooted him and installed Android Revolution HD v3 i think or maybe v4 any way today the phone turned off and i cant turn him on.

so after i wrote way too much all i ask is a Guide for changing it back so he will turn on.
thanks in advance for helpers!!.
sorry for my suckish english.

Can you get to recovery mode by holding volume up, home button and power button? Or download mode by using volume down instead? Is the battery full charged?

wrong section. this has nothing to do with development.
anyway, choose a stock odexed original rom. they are somewhere here in the forums, just search for it, flash it via odin and get rid of your modified increased binary counter (if it is increased which will probably be the case) then flash a rom via odin which doesn't increase the counter (I think there are some not sure though)

no problem. choose the one with the country you got your phone from. so if you got the phone from malaysia choose the malaysian rom.

Try another charger or usb cable for the charger...they sometimes break and don't give juice anymore. Try another battery maybe your battery is dead.
If the above doesn't help...flash a stock rom thru odin ( latest version of your country and send it in for warranty )

[Q] Phone won't charge nor Fastboot / Flashmode

Hey everyone,
after dropping my S3 two days ago which lead to a highly damaged screen (not working anymore) like two days ago, I got a new Arc S from a friend. As I said, the phone is new, and unused.
I've been trying to update to Android 4.3 yesterday, followed some tutorials I found here. I installed the Dark Kernel trough fastboot, then tried to flash the Dark JB rom. But nevermind, this didn't work, so I decided to flash back to stock kernel + rom.
I succeded in doing this, but had the, as I see, common 100% battery problem. Didn't think about one thing. The phone won't charge when the battery is on 100%. So my battery went empty, but whenever I want to charge it, it doesn't because the phone kinda thinks it is on 100%.
Now, I wanted to wipe the battery cache, which isn't possible because I cannot load fastboot mode, and what I've been trying aswell, cannot load flashmode neither.
I don't know what to do to be honest, I hope some of you guys can help me out!
regards

The battery issue can usually be solved by flashing new kernel(s), then returning to the original one.
If you have another Arc (S) available, charge the battery there, then put the battery back and then try to connect. Phone can not be detected due to no power at that moment.

At first, I'm sorry for those awful grammar mistakes I made in my first post
I do not have another SE mobile available to be honest, but I understood what you mean. Thanks for answering me this fast.
I charged the phone for like an hour when it was turned of completely, so now it is up again (idk for how long). Trying to enter fastboot now.

[SGH-I747] Just reboot

Hi everyone, i just bough a I747 unlocked, im from Venezuela.
It come with last stock rom (tough its 4.4.4) and i rooted, instaled Philz Touch Recovery and flashed Cyanogen Nighties 13, from the official cyanogen site all fine here (btw i have to update the modem so the sim can be recognized). Yesterday i download the last nightie and installed via recovery, and start to reset just turning on, i mean, the phone get to the desk, and turn on totally, then just turn off (this happen when i tried to open a app or just open the menu, now make it just after 4 seconds of tottally turn on). I make a full wipe again and install the previous version of Cyanogen, and the problem still, wipe all data and cache, same with Dalvik Cache.
Something curios happen yesterday, the phone make the sound that makes on low battery, i plug to charger and it turn off, and show the battery with 42%, it work perfectly with charger plug in, but when i disconect it turn of and i have to turn on, REALLY SORRY FOR THE BAD ENGLISH, I TRIED MY BEST TO EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM, IF U DONT UNDERSTAND SOMETHING, ASK ME AND I WILL TRY AGAIN TO EXPLAIN BETTER.
I uploaded the modem withouth making it version by version, i just upload to I747UCUEMJB withouth the others, i dont know if this make the error happen, becuz i have a few days working with it before the error happen.
Im now dowloading OctM to test.

Okay, i just install last octo-m, the phone have to still plug to turn on, but then i can disconnect and works normally. I could appreciate if someone gets me a Stock Rom for the SGH-I747 so i can comeback to TouchWiz, and help me with to bootloader/modem updated guide, i think the problem is on there.
Nope, the phone still gettin off, doest'n last even 3s on desktop.

If the phone was running stock 4.4.4 and you installed the mjb modem which is from 4.3, this may have caused the problem. Maybe flashing a newer modem may solve the problem.

Just bought a new battery and the problem it's gonne, thansk to reply, the problem was a bad battery. (the phone isn't new, i buy from 2nd hand)

d851 randomly shuts off, won't power on without charging/removing battery WHY??

Hello all,
having a really aggravating problem where I'm using my g3 where periodically I'll be using my phone (playing pokemon go usually, think it happened once while using the web browser) and the screen just shuts off and will not power on or do anything at all, totally unresponsive, no matter how long I hold the power button. I either have to pull the battery or plug it into a charger to get it to power on again.
When I plug the phone into the charger, the battery screen pops up. It shows my current percent and after some time it will boot back into system.
This wouldn't be so awful if it wasn't for the fact that there's no way to reset the damn phone when it's unresponsive without pulling the battery or charging!
Please, would anyone have ANY clues as to why this is occurring? Any logs I can check?
At the very least, is there any way to modify the boot firmware to allow me to reset the phone when it's unresponsive?
The only thing I can think of is that I replaced the battery recently. The replacement is (supposedly) genuine.
Thank you so much!
[edit] Currently using stock marshmallow that is just rooted no custom kernels or xposed (clean flash) and still having the problem but also had the problem on an older version of fulmics with an old version of xceed kernel

Sorry for the bump, but I'm really desperate for any pointers to solving this. To reiterate:
1. I'll be using my phone (touch screen is being pressed)
2. Screen suddenly shuts off, completely black, no rhyme or reason
3. Phone completely unresponsive, will not power on until battery is pulled or phone is plugged into the charger (in the case of the latter, the phone displays the battery charging screen like the phone was completely off and dead)
Please I'm desperate for any kind of help at all. The problem doesn't seem to happen while charging, only when drawing directly from battery though I generally don't use it while it's charging

I also have D851 I had the same problem as u Flash custom kernel like xceed check the andriod development page for g3 u will see it there use 4v beta mentioned on his thread u need TWRP n root for this if ur in clean stock rom ... No xposed no viper it doesnt support it will give u reboots if u use both these ....

Thank you so much for your response jinderation!
Just to clarify, you've had this issue described in the OP, but installing the exceed 4v kernel solved the problem for you?
I've installed the exceed 4v kernel so I will report back if I still have the problem.
Regards

Yes i had the same issue mine gave problem when i was rooted n xposed installed on stock kernel i havent checked it in complete stock cuz i recently bought this phone n whenever i buy a new phone i root it after flashing xceed wipe delvik cache also i no longer have random reboots of tmobile logo n no phone being complete dead to pull the battery out n place it back again ... After flashing xceed u also may need to flash super su via twrp for root download synapse from playstore apply on the lower power state mode then ur good to go

Hey everyone. I've installed the exceed 4v kernel as described in Jinderation's post and sadly I still get the shutdown / won't respond without pulling battery or charging problem .
I noticed I almost always have the problem when the battery is under 50. It NEVER happens while the phone is connected to some kind of charger.
I will be extremely grateful to anyone who can offer further advice. Is there anyway way I can run a log to catch what's causing this problem?
Also, thank you so much jinderation for taking the time to help me.
Regards

I was on the stock MM rom about a month in use for the d851 had no issues. Yesterday my phone blue screen wont power back on or no charge no nothing. Plz help!!!

Thats strange u shouldnt be having this issue on that kernel ... Here is one another solution go back to stock via restore via twrp if u had a backup in there ...n flash solid kernel ...solid kernel is best for performance try that... I played n completed Fahrenheit indigo prophecy game on that kernel no reboots or being complete dead... Try it n report back ...also buy 2 stock batteries try running them on ur phone also use geniune stock cable n charger install ampere app see how many ampere are showing when charging the value needs to be 800mah in normal
