Bricked my Galaxy Gio

Hi XDA,
I've searched in many threads but i can't find an anwser.
I've bricked my Galaxy Gio when i flashed a custom kernel. It was the kernel in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319816
Now it does nothing, I can't boot in any mode, not in download mode, not in recovery mode...
I have android 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
Is there any way to unbrick or is my phone just an expensive decoration now.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi !!!
same new here
This ll work in some cases
Hope this will work in your device as well
Pull the battery to kill the boot loop (or whatever is hosed up), put the phone into downloading mode and re-flash the stock ROM.
Free to try...

Thanks for quick reply but i can't go into download mode as i said. Also my phone is just totally off and won't boot at all. My pc also doesn't detect it when it is plugged in.

If not even adb detects it, i'm pretty sure you're buggered, mate.

did you try and leave the battery out for some 10 min or more?
If adb does not detect the phone after that, then it seems to be a brick for real.

Is your phone stop at the "samsung" when you turn on your phone?
If is this,it's very easy to unbrick

One easy procedure which you might want to try with no guarantee it'll work:
-Remove the battery, microSD and SIM from the phone.
-Prepare the Odin software and your ROM on a known working system
-Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable.
-With one hand, simultaneously hold Volume down, home and power.
-With your other hand, put the battery in the phone.
I was able to get Odin to detect an otherwise bricked phone this way. I was however unable to get further than the "setup connection" step. Maybe your outcome will be better.

Yes this way usually works. I've tested this way.

that worked for me to on a brick when it didnt even went on, no recovery, download mode etc, after waiting 2 weeks and trying to repair it myself I nearly throw it away, and then suddenly it went into download mode for about 1 or 2 seconds, wich told me the battery whasn't working.. so I started to charge the battery, and hoped it would boot, but it didn't.. using that method given above, I could get into download mode again, and flashes a new stock ROM. now I still have my phone, working.

I had my mainboard replaced at a service center... Probably not the news you would have liked, but I'm afraid that's your next step as well.

[Q] Stuck in bootloop, Volume button broken, ADB not working

So by the heading you guys must know I have messed up pretty badly.
Let me tell you first, I have done my research. Tried each and every thing possible (AFAIK) but it just wont boot into recovery.
FLASHBACK: ( I have Sff) (Volume button is broken).
1) Did a clean wipe ( Cache, Dalvik, System),
2) Installed Ignorance V4, ( I thought the kernel must be in the zip, so didnt flash the kernel)
3) Phone booted and stuck in splashscreen. ( Ignorance)
4) Connected it to Laptop via USB. Checked ADB. Device not found.
5) Switched off device, connected to laptop, checked ADB, Device not found.
6) Checked through device manager, and device manager recognizes the phone. All drivers are installed and updated. Windows Vista.
Now, what to do? Is there any way I can get into recovery or even Hboot so that I can flash kernel?.
Need help

Which recovery u have ??
If you have Cwm...Let ua battery drain completely and then put in on charge, it will boot into cwm directly. That's the only option.
If you have TWRP, lol..I'd Suggest you torepair your Vol Buttons

Downloading HTC Sync Manager. Hope the updated drivers work. Called up my IT guy. He is giving me a quote on repairs tomorrow. Come to think of it, my one v was bound to end like this. Screen broken and shattered at 2 places, headphone jack socket gone, volume buttons gone.
Now upgrading to...........................wait for it............................ Nokia 1100.

Recently I have seen one interesting issue that might appear like solution to your problem. According to the description you may try turning off your phone and plugging in a charger. If you will have the same behaviour your phone should start into recovery mode. =)
Edited: Doh! TWRP...
You may try All-In-One-Kit as well. It has high level interface to run adb commands (including Boot into Recovery). Yeah yeah, I've seen your note that adb does not recognize your device, anyway...

Stupid answer from me....... Op are both your volume buttons broken?

Yes.
I have given it for repairs.I have decided not to sell or dispose it.
Its only sometime before I buy a moto g or xperia device. Waiting for my new credit card :fingers-crossed:
which phone would you suggest?
Vickrant.

If you are good with 16gb storage better buy Moto G if not there are a few options like Xperia M , Canvas series and all..

Sorry to be so late to the party, but in case other people get this issue. ADB will often work just after the kernel finishes loading, before it gets shut off. So between the htc boot screen and when the boot anim starts you have a window to commit abd commands. I often use this to save time when flashing kernels etc, notably because my WIP roms rarely make it past bootanim!

[q] lg g3 d855 hard bricked no download mode or recovery!

Hi all, I come to you as my last resort.
I have spent hours on google trying to find a solution to my problem.
This is what happened.
I store my ROMS on an external SD and sometimes i get the error that it is being removed unexpectedly...sometimes..anyway.
I booted into my TWRP and went to flash DarkKnights ROM..this ROM was something like 1.7 GB i think and after completely wiping the device (System, data and cache) i proceeded to flash the new rom..However it flashed very very quickly which i found strange but proceeded to restarting my device.
After that my phone has been completely dead!
What i think happened is that the EXTERNAL SD malfunctioned during the installation and im left with absolutely nothing on my phone.
I cannot enter recovery or download mode!
The only sign of life is when i plug it into my computer and it installs a driver that is the androidnet driver not the qualcom driver that some people have had and fixed.
I am open to any suggestions as you truly are my last resort.

Haven't really got much to say in the way of helping you mate, sounds like you're in a real Pickle :/

Try LG mobile support tool (old version) : http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe
Even if you have not download mode, you can try. Install the tool
Try to boot on download mode, you have error message
run LG mobile support tool
choose Additional functions then Upgrade of the recovery after error
At one moment the tool will say that there is not of g3 connected, reattempts starting in download mode or presses on the button to power. Try several times both.
If it work, the software is going to download the last one kdz available for your device and him(it) to fall in love by following
You can always try this solution, with a little luck ...

I have tried all your suggestions but i still have no luck..i tried the tot method as well and it comes up with an error message of 'download fails'..there must be some way to fix this!!im left with the driver AndroidNet being installed on the computer and a phone that cannot enter recovery or download mode. however i can hear the phone working on the inside if i listen closely..if you have any other suggestions please share!

Update:
I was playing around with the phone and when i plugged it into the computer the screen came on and showed me battery low..also the led light on top started flashing red as it does when the phone's battery is low..I dont know if this will help in finding a fix but im hopeful.. :/

Hello my friend..All i did was plug the wire into the computer and then into my phone..and because my battery was very low the screen turned on and showed me the battery low screen..then the led started flashing..and finally the phone switched off completely..Thankfully i have another battery to continue my testing and trying to fix it..but apart from that that happened with the battery im back to square one where my phone is completely dead again and the only response i get is the AndroidNet USB driver being installed on the computer.

Thank you very much for the thread you posted..i tried it but the thing is..my phone has literally nothing on it so when i put each file manually into the phone i dont know which sdb to put it through to..as the thread says it should give a lost of all the system partition files but since my one doesnt have anything on the phone it does not find them...
However, i did manage to establish a connection between the phone and the terminal in linux so im thinking maybe i have to flash each file manually that i can get from a system dump of a g3 and maybe thay will work..what do you think??

Wireless Update

Without checking the forums I went ahead and clicked on the Wireless Update on the P8000 and now it just hangs on the Elephone logo and is not recognized when I try to connect to the PC. Has anyone else done this and has the same problem, any way of fixing?

UPDATE: Decided to mess around with the phone to try and get back to life, found an old laptop, loaded the Drivers (without any security warnings), loaded the SP Flash Tool. Connnected the phone to the laptop, did not register, downloaded the ROM 150907, went to Flash Tool clicked on scatter.txt file, pressed the power button on the phone and somehow connection was made to the phone. Bottom line is that it kicked into life with the new 150907 software, from a non techie, I am well chuffed, certainly will not be doing a Wireless update anytime soon. The new ROM is a lot more stable and even allows me to use my Works email on the Exchange services account where I had previous issues.

I have the same problem. The OTA update got my phone stuck in the Elephone boot animation. I am using Windows 10 currently and I can't install the drivers. What OS did the computer you used run?
UPDATE: I did it!! I used this guide ( http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/ ) to allow me to install the drivers in Windows 10, and then used the flashtool. It took me some tries to get the flashtool to recognized the device but it did it.
Unfortunately all data was wiped

Which sp flash tool version are you folks running?
For me, with version .520 and .532, the flashtool stops responding as soon as the phone is connected.
Also, does the phone need to be switched off for it to be recognised? Or does it need to start booting after a shutdown?
One more, initiate "download to phone" from flashtool and then connect phone or vice versa?

The zip I downloaded is this: "SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1520.00.000"
Yes it has to be switched off first and then to be connected. As for the last question I don't remember exactly because I tried many times in different ways and I don't remember which worked in the end.

The problem with this one was phone never stayed off. It would just keep switching on and getting stuck at boot screen.
I managed to fix it. Used 532 SP tool. Used an XP computer with anti virus turned off. To keep the phone shut down, I let it run out of juice (took a loooooooong time, not looking forward to doing this again), and then used an older usb cable to just get the phone to stay alive on usb current. Once you get the vcom loader message for mt65xx for usb recognition, that's when you're good to go.

The problem with this one was phone never stayed off. It would just keep switching on and getting stuck at boot screen.

There is an easy trick to turn phone off. Reboot to recovery . (in stock there is the red android then press and hold power , press vol up and it will Boot into stock recovery)
Browse to "turn phone off."
Then its off and dont reboot, you can use the flashtool....etc

In some deep ****

I rooted my friends htc desire 816g dual sim and got him cwm.
i flashed it with a programm on the pc (can't quite remember the name) after that it said ''boot in recovery mode?''
i pressed yes and it went into a bootloop,i was like ok fixable just go into fastboot and flash new rom right?
no it cannot go into bootloop or recovery and when it is connected to pc during this whole bootloop it shows me the cell phone with some drivers i installed with a yellow exclamation mark under it,also it doesn't stay connected for more than 3-5 seconds

Yeah the g is the Mediatek processor and needs to be flashed with flashtools and the phone off I believe. Not many custom roms for it either. So you think you flashed the wrong rom and did you use flashtools ? There's also a quad core version and octa core version that can't use each other's custom roms I believe. One is MT682 and the other is MT692 for octa core I believe.

I didn't flash a rom I flashed cwm and It wasn't off indeed but I need help not to find the cause because I cannot get into any menus or get my pc to recognise it due to the minimum time it stays connected

Oh , yeah. My bad. I was tired last night and helping a few different people here and in other sites so the recovery flash slipped by me. Your going to have to get the phone powered down (either by you or by it draining down.)and use flashtools again I believe. Assuming that's what you used initially. XDA member Nukaru has helped people with Mediatek chipsets more than I have ( I have the a5_chl snapdragon) and I would recommend getting her help. I've never used flashtools with the Mediatek devices just ADB/fastboot with Qualcomm.

My computer cannot recognise it though because once I connect in it disconnects within seconds if I could do that I would have tried and the only reason I have hopes is because it turns on but not in android or any bootloader also my phone is discoverable by my pc only when it is in the state of turning on as soon as there is light on the screen it disconnects

I get all that . The phone won't enter recovery or bootloader or OS and keeps rebooting. I believe it's going to have to completely power down either by you or the phone itself then use flashtools. I provided a link to a flashtools forum for the HTC Mediatek devices. Yours is included. Also contact Nukaru as she has direct experience with the Mediatek chipset. The phone is going to have to run down basically so you don't get any reboots but like I said the Mediatek isn't my area of expertise. Follow my advice and you'll get it figured out. Good luck.

Sorry for replying again but just to make it clear I make the phone battery die so it doesn't reboot and I use the flash tools to flash a stock rom?

Don't be sorry I'm happy to help. That's my understanding but bear in mind my knowledge with the Mediatek is really limited. I know you need flashtools and I'm pretty sure the device needs to be powered off. After that I'm kind of out of my area of expertise. Been told by Nukaru that the Mediatek is actually easier to flash/work with so that's good. Send her a PM and when she's not busy I'm sure she will try to help you here.

Just popped in, I think I can help you.
SP Flashtool can detect the device even if it is on bootloop. On SP Flashtool just tick all items except preloader then click on download and connect the phone to the PC. If it still does not get recognized try holding the power button while you are connecting it to the PC to try and force it into the switched off state

The best way to flash RUU on a mediatek device is ALWAYS to remove the battery. Not removing the battery can brick your device!
To help I'll need more information about your device.
1. What RUU did you flash? European or Indian?
2. When and where was this phone bought, which region?

OK I will try that thanks

This (D816h) is the rom you'll need. Instructions are in the file description. If you're having trouble signing in, please contact me and I'll upload the file once I'm done with work.
And this is how to remove the battery.

it is stuck now because as soon as it connects it stays connected and it disconnects after a few seconds i also got an error about the usb port but i uninstalled the i guess false drivers i had installed by myself any other ideas?

Have you tried a different driver for your USB Port? Or connecting the device to another USB Port?
Flashtools won't disconnect, if the battery is removed, that's why it's always the safest bet to remove the battery.

What is your device model?
It is usually shown at the back bottom of the phone. It is usually something like 0PGZ100, 0PJ120... etc

What error message do you get? Is there an error message?
Some versions of flashtool are problematic with Desire 816, which version did you install?
