Hi there! First of all I don't speak english very well.
My Galaxy Nexus hard bricked yesterday.
tl;dr no boot animation, no recovery mode, no download mode, no response from computer.
I thought it had just a low battery level, I found it turned off. So I tried to recharge it but it gave no signals, no battery icon, nothing.
After an all night long recharge I tried to turn it on, to enter in download mode or in recovery mode but nothing works. I also tried to connect it with my computer with and without battery, no response, no "OMAP" device found, no sound from Windows for plugging it in, nothing.
I found this thread here in xda, many people has been redirected to it and found their solution to the brick problem.
I tried to follow all the steps but when I plug in the phone and start the .bat file nothing happens, just stuck on "Waiting for device".
The phone is unlocked and rooted. I'm running AOKP JB-MR1 Build 2 and Franco Kernel for a month, never had problems with them, never installed other ROMs after that.
What should I do now? Should I try to do something or just bring it to a support center? The phone is still in warranty, there would be any problem because it has a non-stock ROM?
I've red about a jig to force the Odin mode, should I buy it? (I found this one)
Thanks for the help.
Have you tried booting into Odin mode

Yes, it doesn't work.
have you your warranty on it?
return it and get a new one
It's hard bricked and a JTAG unit may force it into download mode, if you send it in for warranty, chances are it won't be accepted as it was obviously tampered with and they would find out that your bootloader is unlocked and charge you more money than the device is actually worth to fix it.
I don't understand how it could of bricked if nothing has changed on the phone for a month or longer. Nothing was flashed recently so how can you hard brick the phone?

Yeah, that's why I'm not sure to send it in for warranty. So have I to try with a JTAG first?

I'm not understanding that too, I don't know what happened. Suddendly it stopped working. Maybe is just a battery problem, I'll try to use another one before bringing it to the shop where I bought it.
same happened to me, but I have an untouched phone with stock android. it worked well for over an year until today.
I see a lot of people having same issue, but they say that when connected to PC over USB the phone is recognized as OMAP.
for me the PC doesn't do anything...
any help? thanks

so right after I wrote that I plugged my phone into USB of my PC without battery. when I inserted the battery it started showing me the battery sign and I could started the phone. 3 minutes later it went black again, but the trick didnt work again.
any ideas? thanks
Try This !!
Arrange a 4 ohm resistor and try to attach it in ur usb plug port of phone ..it 'll force the phon eto go in download mode or say Fastboot mode.
then follow a tutorial to flash any rom..
its quite easy else ping me !!

Please could you explain a bit more how to go about this? I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus in a somewhat similar condition. This one is recognised as an OMAP 4430 device. I downloaded OMAP Flasher, installed drivers and tried to bring it back to life but after running the batch file I get this error: Operation FAILED (Remote: : Driver init error 0x00FF8080 - MMC CONFIG FAILURE). Can the resistor trick work on this and if yes, how can I go about it? I am not faint-hearted; I think I can handle it if given the right instructions.
After I tried everything i could from the internet, I went to a shop and tested to see if the USB is broken - and indeed it was. I replaced the USB component of the phone and after that it started.
Thanks guys

Yeah, the faulty USB port is a very common issue.
I have read through the other threads and from what I understand I may have a "soft brick" it also mentioned to ask first before I do anything, so I apologize in advance. I tried to update to JellyBean 2 days ago and had a game that froze I did a hard reset not knowing that it could potentially cause problems, I have done it in the past with no issues. PC companion downloaded the update and I followed the instructions as usual held volume key down plugged the usb in and it initially recognized my device but only for about 3 seconds. Now everytime I plug my phone into the PC it either says "unknown device" or it doesn't do anything other than start charging it. I have tried usb debugging mode switched between MTP and MSC modes all with the same result. Also I was reading the thread for "RECOVER SOFT-brick" and it provided the link for the flash tool and my device was not listed. Thank you in advace for your time and patience.

I am not sure what the update service is that you mentioned, I tried the repair option with pc companion but the computer wont recognize my phone when i plug it in. Tried while it was off held the volume down and plugged the usb in, the device looks like it is doing what it normally would when I am updating but then it just goes to the charge screen. So I assume that is not the repair that you were talking about, unless I am doing something wrong. I don't have the option of bringing it to sony right now because I am working overseas right now. Unless maybe I mailed it in I didn't want to go that route because it is my main source of communication for while I am out here.
Thank you again for your time.

I already have that update service I used it when they released the update before JB it was a new build#, the program worked great unfortunately it doesn't do me any good now because it still doesn't recognize my phone and I tried several times with all the diffirent modes and options combinations I could think of. I am not near a Sony store and will not be for some time, I may have to try something more drastic or just purchase a new phone. Thank you again for your assistance

Settle down dude, dont do anything drastic. First read up on soft bricks. Now i need to know does your device boot? you dont exactly describe the condition of your phone. If possible try flashing it with flashtool and the latest JB ftf (to enter flash mode on our lt28at ion you connect the phone to the usb cable, hold vol down and connect the usb cable to the pc when flashtool tells you to).

you're probably missing some drivers since you said here that fastboot is working but suddenly goes to charge screen..are your using win7 or win8?

My apologies, yes I believe my phone does boot so far the only issue I can see as of right now is that I cannot connect to my laptop or anyone else's. I have tried holding the volume key down and plugging in the usb numerous times with no luck it only charges when I do this. I have read up on soft bricks and it seems simple enough but I didn't know for sure what the problem is with my device, other users had mentioned that along with usb issues I could have messaging and phone call issues. I have been using wifi and the tango app for communication for the past four months because of where I am located there is no service and also the reason I have not brought it in to a store. But back to flashing the device I have never attempted it on this device or any other so I was a little nervous about permanently bricking it, I looked at one link in another thread that had the latest JB ftf and my device was not listed. Also is there a specific flashtool you recommend? Thank you for your help

That was exactly what I thought initially as well so I did a back up on my computer and installed win7 ultimate after it was installed I made sure all of my drivers were working and up to date, I also tried it out on several other computers just to make sure it was the phone. Also just to be sure my computer was working properly I had one of the other guys here plug his phone into my computer and it came up instantly.
I think I may have misunderstood the fast boot question I thought the question was if the phone would boot from being off.

I followed the instructions from both of the threads, but I keep running into the same problem. My device is not listed among the drivers to install, I scrolled to the right on each one just to make sure it was not part of a group. Before I got this reply I followed the tutorial basically the flashtool for dummies like myself and down loaded the correct firmware for my device. I followed the instructions to run the flashtool selected my firmware started the flash tool, it told me to hold volume down while plugging in the phone just like I would with pc companion and probably 3 secs after plugging it in the only thing that would happen is I would get the usual windows prompt that "the device is not recognized" I thought for sure this was the solution, perhaps I am missing a step? I am officially at a loss now lol I even went to the threads specific to the ion lt28at and it was all quite simple right up until plugging in, any more insight would be greatly appreciated.
Read this. Maybe it will help you.

I appreciate the link but that was basically instructions on how to start the flash tool properly it seems, I still can't get the flash tool to recognize it is plugged in. I believe the issue is with the device driver, problem is the ION lt28 is not in the list of drivers. Is there another one that I am supposed to use that is compatible? I thought it had to be specifically for my device, again I appreciate all the help you all are giving me this is becoming a frustrating process for what seems so simple

Try Flashtool-drivers [ do a googole search ] download it and see if you can find the drivers there.
I know this is over a month old, so i'm sure the info is no longer helpful...but this 'driver' issue has plagued Ion owners since the phone released...
in reality...its not a problem...but just 50 members all sort of saying the same thing in different words...
the Lt28 series of devices does NOT need any model specific driver from that install_drivers.exe app in flashtool's directory...You ONLY have to install the flash mode driver (for an Ion with a locked boot loader) or flash mode and fast boot drivers for unlocked bootloaders, if you play on using fastboot with flashtool for various services...
you DO NOT need to install that entire list of drivers for an Ion...they have nothing to do with this series of phone...all other necessary device drivers are automatically installed when setting up PC companion, or simply plugging in the phone (if you skip pc companion)...
any issue with flash tool and it saying 'device drivers not found'...you're missing the flash mode driver...and nothing else...
sooo, I gues something went wrong... since the new marshmallow images was posted today, there was a thread on reddit on how I can just download the image and rename it and flash it as OTA. The phone reconginzed the image and went half way through the install and then went black. now it wont even buzz or register the charger. Does nothing when connected to the computer either so I assume there is nothing that could be done. Quite a shame, the phone worked quite nicely until is killed it . Anything I can do?
Did you install it thru TWRP?

There is one thing I recommend trying as there is a bug in official firmware where the phone when connected to a computer can turn off randomly and not charge or boot. What you need to do is disassemble the phone and unplug the connector at the top of the phone to disconnect the battery and then plug it in.

thanks, I'm aware of that. Some folks experiencing the same issue tried that with no success. My phone is still under warranty and the screw securing the backplate has a seal on it that I dont want to tamper with.
I guess I'll be sending the phone for to Asus for repair...
Don't lose hope.
My phone was in a similar predicament.
No response to any buttons, nothing on screen, no buzzing or LED's at all.
I was able to get it recognized in the xFSTK Downloader and showing up in windows device manager as a Moorefield device.
I tried many times to get it to put the images on the phone through the xFSTK tool and it failed many times.
I was about to give up and tried again this morning and miraculously the writing succeeded and now my phone is in a bootloop (I think the battery may have been completely drained with my attempts to save it's life.)
I have it on charge currently so hopefully when there is enough juice I should be able to flash the raw file and be back up and running.
I see, you can follow the unbricking tutorial in the general section. Works fine for me and saved me from sending it to the service center.

Unfortunately, yes. Because I ticked the "wipe data" checkbox in the ASUS Flash Tool. Not sure what will happen if I don't. :fingers-crossed:

I also bricked my phone and used the method to fix my phone. Make sure you have all the required drivers installed in your pc/laptop before doing this. I took help of DriverMax to solve the drivers related issues. Make sure before installing and running the XFTSK tool all the drivers and everything is installed otherwise you will see blank forms in the Tool.
Hello there pals, I have a problem, I have an Lg H815P (Mexico Version), and i was using it normally for about 15 days, then suddenly the home screen freezed, and then the phone restarted, i thougt it was just a lagging issue, but then, when the phone booted up again, after like 5 secs it freezed up again and restart, a infinte loop, then i said, this Rom must be corrupted (Stock TELCEL Rom v20b Android MM), and decided to do a hardware keys factory reset, then the phone restarted but when it was android upgrading apps, it kept restarting, at last it booted up but the problem persist. So im kinda worried, how a problem cant be fixed at a full hard reset? When im trying to flash a KDZ file From lg flash tool, the program fails because cant find phone, a kinda weird thing because the adb detects it sometimes, others not, i booted the phone in safe mode and the problem persist anyway, what can I do? I already have the drivers, the lg up, and the lg bridge apps, they all said that im running the last software for my mobile device, i´ve tried another battery as well, so im kinda lost, another thing, after the hard reset, the phone was able to stay on like 15 mins, sometimes 5, sometimes just secs, dunno what is happening but i really need some ideas, can you help me to work this out?
Greetings pals!

I have had this problem occur because of the launcher. Try cleaning the cache and data and see whether an updated version is available. You could also try a 3rd party one and see if that helps or simply re-install the LG launcher.
If no luck, you could try flashing another kdz with LGUP-NEW: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803

I found the correct drivers and installed a DLL for lg up, so the program now detects my phone, the problem is that i install as Refurbish the same version that i was running, the h815p v20a, but when it finishes it says rebooting, but in the device is boot looped at lg logo and powered by android, the phne used to boot and show desktop, now is bootlooped, what else can I do to make him boot?

If the phone is still recognized on your PC, see if you can get into download mode. If you can, try re-installing the KDZ from there. Make double sure it is the same kdz that was installed on your phone when it worked.
The other option is to see if you can get into recovery mode and try a factory reset.
It is possible that the freezing you were experiencing before when it booted up was, as raptordd suggested above in post #4, an early sign of the hardware bootloop issue that has now manifested fully. The only real option then is to send it in to LG for repair and tell them your phone, you believe, has developed the hardware bootloop issue. Even if out of official warranty, they should replace the motherboard in that case, at no cost to you.

It is possible that the freezing you were experiencing before when it booted up was, as raptordd suggested above in post #4, an early sign of the hardware bootloop issue that has now manifested fully. The only real option then is to send it in to LG for repair and tell them your phone, you believe, has developed the hardware bootloop issue. Even if out of official warranty, they should replace the motherboard in that case, at no cost to you.

Now that u mention that, the phone was recognized by pc, but i installed a lot of kdzs, and none of them made the phone boot, every one of them were for h815p v20a, the one that was installed, but now i connect it to pc and then says download mode but doesnt enter and then the lg logo appears again, even the charge is meesed up now, i think i screwed the download mode and the charge mode, is that possible? but i tried the factory reset when i had the working firmware but the problem persists. Now im thinkin my only option is to use a octoplus box to revive it, but dunno if that will fix the restart problem, about that warranty stuff, i can send it to lg mexico and they should change my motherboard for free? That sound too good to be true.

See if you can enter recovery using the hardware buttons and try executing it again.
LG has been replacing motherboards in a lot of cases where the issue is attributable to their own hardware issue (ILAPO). You don't really want to discuss the things you have done to get it working again with them ... if you get my drift, i.e., play dumb ...

Ok if none of the baove works, ill do that, but no, it has no recovery neither, not even stock, i read about a bootloader way to fix the download mode, im gonna try that but i doubt i can cuz bootloader is factory locked cuz is latin version.
No luck at all, phone is still bricked, is there any way to flash stuff via bootloader or abd without bootloader unlocked or root?
I was trying xiaomi.eu on my global alioth. the current version for global is 12.5.4 but the one on xiaomi.eu is 12.5.8
using fastboot to update my phone, after a few minute phone went to the black screen forever. I can't even go to fastboot or recovery anymore.
although it's only showing a black screen, have you tried plugging phone in and running cmd 'fastboot devices' to see if phone shows at all?
also, have you tried holding power down for a good 20-30secs to reset/reboot device?
EDIT: read too quick... xiaomi.eu, no miflash used...

I'm thinking he didn't try those things normally they would respond saying I tried all of that.

maybe, yeah. hopefully he/she is busy with a fix.
EDIT: actually, thinking about it, was your bootloader even unlocked? @keaheng

I bet you anything you and him had something go wrong with your PC. I restart my PC right before I flash anything and I close all application's and stop everything. While it flashes I don't touch my computer at all. I would assume that you guys might play on your PC while it's trying to flash thinking it's fine. Also you should use data cable or cable that came with it. Cheap cables are junk that's why they are cheap.
There is option to try EDL testpoint method when your phone is totally dead. It means you open your phone, connect testpoints and your phone would be visible for pc in device manager as qc9008 port.
Next step- you cant flash the rom by yourself, it requires authentication. There are "helpers" for that. I found one in Telegram and it took about 20usd and 20 minutes to boot the phone from dead brick (MI9T davinci).

If that's true that's awesome. How do you find these helpers? Do you have a link? I don't even know what EDL is I am wondering if it ever happens to me
Cant remember anymore where I found it, so many keywords were Google'd. Maybe it was some russian content. Im pretty sure I cant post telegram link here so if someone wants it, I would PM.
Hi thank you guys for the concern. Phone has been fixed. There is a remote service guy who helped me by using TeamViewer. If you guy out there who has the similar problem, you can go on YouTube and search "Xiaomi qc9008"

Working in IT for years, and all I can say if it would be true, we would have serious issues. It's not like windows 98 anymore, you can actually use your computer as a multitasking device. Like there aren't like 10000 processes without playing games. It's always easier to blame them, for doing "wrong" things while flashing. The only "wrong" thing you can do while flashing is pressing cancel or the reset button.
