HELP BRICKED LG e739 MyTouch

Hi there, I NEED URGENT HELP!
I bricked my e739, and I am running out of the options. All I see is the LG logo, I can not access my recovery mode, I tried numerous times (and before i succeed now the logo doesn't even blink it stays the same) hard reset...nothing, tried adb recovery (does not see the device).
So here is the story, I successfully updated my ROM to e739 Nightly 6. After using it for a bit, I decided to go back to stock, and just wait until all bugs are worked out. So i tried to go back to my backup that I made of stock, but no dice it got me in recovery loop, after that I tried to go factory reset, nothing. I couldn't find any way to go back to stock, so I made it my mission to reset the phone. Here where I [email protected] up, I read that using e730 (older) rom will let me out this loop and allow me to get back to the stock. So here are my steps of mischief: installed Nightly ROM 12 for e730-> then I flashed the device to LG optimus Black (dont ask why...I realize it is stupid) -> and through privacy setting clicked for factory reset. Now I am in this bootloop.
I will take any suggestions please help, it really sucks in the stone age, with edge speeds.

Hold Power and Volume Down, then after 3 seconds hold Menu and Back (not home) and when the LG logo pops up, release the Power button but keep holding Vol-, Menu, and Back.
It may take some try a to get it right.

And make sure to pull the battery and put it in again when starting to hold the Power and Volume Down

This sounds like it might work, but O got another tiny bit of problem, I been trying to reset it so many time the phone wont turn on anymore unless it is plugged into power source. I am not sure what to do now. I want try to hard reset your way but I can get the phone to respond anyway unless it is plugged in.

Well plug it in lol
I've had several bootloops myself trying to get to stock, but i always got to acces recovery and flash CM again. And now that tthe RC was released, i don't see why i should return to stock.

1) Pull the battery out
2) plug ur phone to a computer (on the screen you should see a battery icon indicating the phone is charging)
3) locate your adb folder in my case it's c:\adb once your in there write adb reboot recovery...that should get you to the recovery....

[Q] Stuck on Sony boot logo after cmw jb update attempt

Note: I have a sony xperia pro mk16, there was no phone selection for it, so i chose to post on arc forum; however, solutions should be same or similar
Note2: i am a bit noob at rooting and cmw and all that
Story: I had ics and finally decide to try to upgrade to jb with custom cm10 rom. i first rooted the device and installed cmw with x-part. I attempted to install the firmware but it quickly gave me a status 7 error. so i just rebooted and it loaded to a reset ics firmware perfectly fine. after an attempt to download another version of cm10 jb, i tried installing that firmware. after a long wait on installing:..., the log finally gave me another status 7 error. so i rebooted again HOWEVER, it is STUCK ON the SONY logo.
i tried pulling out battery and repowering but nothing changes. holding power with repeated volume down or hold volume up button doesnt do anything. i can connect to sony pc companion but it says i need to fully turn on my phone to update/repair.
i can get it to flashmode using flashtool, but when in flashmode it just leaves a blank screen that wont do anything, i would have to pull out the battery and repower it, which would lead me back to the SONY logo.
PLEASE HELP

My guess is that you tried to flash a JB rom without flashing the custom kernel because your bootloader is locked. Not every rom is working with stock kernel. CM10 and AOKP as far as i know need custom kernels like Lupus and fxp139. To flash a kernel you must have unlocked bootloader. So until you decide if you will unlock your bootloder or not, you can allways use flashtool to flash stock Sony firmwares found here:
stock firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642480

here
download the original ICS firmware (somewhere in this forum)
add to flashtool and wait till the pop up asks you to attach your phone in flashmode
attach in flash mode and let flashtool do its magic
now... unlock your bootloader using official or s1 tool method
download CM10 again
inside there will be a boot.img
power off your phone, hold down settings button and attach usb cable..
now you should see a blue LED light
FASTBOOT flash the boot.img and the flash the ROM
press thanks if i helped!!

[Q] Looping Xperia logo

I was trying to install AuroraPlay 1.1, everything was going fine, i unlocked my bootloader, installed doomkernel, booted it up and it was fine until then. Then i followed the next installation steps (factory reset, format system, and flashed the rom, did it all on Clockwork mod) and now the Xperia logo keeps looping. I can't enter recovery, the phone doesn't vibrate like it did before on the doomkernel screen and no matter what i press it just goes to the logo again
I'm pretty new to all this so i suppose i just made a common stupid mistake. Flashtool seems to still recognize my phone when i connect it in flash mode, but not for long, it disconnects itself and reconnects again but not in flash mode. Can i save my phone?

After removing the battery many times, and trying again and again, it booted into AuroraPlay
Everything looked normal, so i turned it off and on again to see if it was fixed, but it's looping again, and i still can't acess recovery
I can't think of anything i did differently when it booted successfully

Start from begining again:
-flash stock firmware and see does it boot up
-reflash doom kernel again, if you can enter fastboot mode (hold search when pluging in usb)
-boot rom again, to see if stock rom can boot up with doomlord kernel
-if you can, reset to recovery(keep pressing back button), format data and system and install Aurora again
If you manage to boot to (any) rom, check your sd card for errors, if any...

Around half an hour after my last post, i left my xperia looping for like 10 minutes to see if anything changed, then took out the battery and booted it up again
this time i managed to go into recovery, but didnt want to flash everything again so i just applied the doomkernel v14 wifi fix that i couldnt apply before
it then booted into the rom normally and i've been using it since without a problem
kinda afraid to reboot though

Optimus G E975 won't start with red flashing led

Hi all, I managed to brick my Optimus G E975 (international version) - the inside of the phone shows E975K.
I have it running the stock ROM for over a year (rooted) and lately I am looking into flashing with custom ROM (KitKat). I have not even flash the phone, I just installed ROM Manager app (pro) and used it to boot to recovery. It won't boot to recover, so I use ROM Manager app to install TWRP (to replace clockmodwork). I booted to recovery and I got the fastboot but could not do anything so I rebooted to normal and install clockmodwork again. There was an option to Flash clockmodwork which I think I chose and I assumed that was installing clockmodwork. But when I booted to recovery, my phone never turned on anymore.
While I got my phone working, using ROM Manager I tried few times to make a back up of the current ROM but it was never succeeded. The phone just rebooted normally.
I opened my phone and disconnect the battery as some people suggested. But I still can't turn on the phone. I got flashing red led when I press the power button (with or without the vol up/down).
Please help. I hope I can unbrick my phone as the warranty is over.
Any info and help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160 bricked

Hey. Thought I should flash cyanogenmod 11 into my mom's phone. When I did it, realized that Ace couldn't connect to carrier for some reason. Anyways I decided to get back to stock GB. I've already tried to flash maybe four stock builds of GB and JB (they were all from "SamMobile") through Odin, but none of them really boot up, I get stuck at Samsung logo.
Recovery won't work, even if I flash a new one through odin ( f.e. this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532591 )
Download mode does work.
I saw there was this 3-part GB installation file from a russian guy, which I should have used, but it's already deleted in "Yandex". I live in Lithuania, so I'm supposed to use SEB version of firmware. I was wondering could someone reupload it ?
I tried to fix Ace through Kies, but it says that GT-I8160 recovery isn't available for some reason...
Any answers greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

After flashing the sammobile rom with odin, if it doesn't boot, go to recovery (the original one coming with the original rom), and do a factory reset/wipe data. This helped for me.

The problem is that even if I try to enter recovery (power + vol up + home), it stays stuck at samsung logo

You can try to insist by continuing pressing the 3 buttons for recovery even if the phone reboot. If you're stuck in a boot loop, you can also try to remove the battery to switch it off and switch it on again by pressing the 3 buttons.
For me the odin flash of JB rom + recovery clean up always solved the problem. I don't know any other way.

Do the official ROMs (tar.md5) come with official recovery, or do I have to flash one seperately ?

The official ROM include an official recovery, you don't need to flash another one.

i too needed to go back to the stock from from cm11, because i cannot get wi-fi direct to work.
i flashed an xxmf1 rom, but when the phone rebooted, a message said samsung set up wizard has stopped, and i cannot get past it. this is even after doing a factory reset.
i went back to cm 11, and flashed the stock rom again. this time, the rom flashes in odin, but takes long to go from reset to pass, and windows now says hardware id is missing.
the phone goes black after the samsung logo, and cwm is still installed.
any help would be appreciated.
edit: fixed by flashing the three-part gb rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141930

Turns out I disconnected my Ace 2 too early (dammit). As soon as I saw "RESET" in odin, I thought it has finished flashing and I disconnected it before it goes into recovery and flashes everything. Never thought I could be that stupid.
Thanks for replies tho :good::good::good:
