I downloaded ROM MANAGER app, and I used the option "Install ROM from SD CARD" to try to install the official ROM V20e.zip. During the process, and restart the device no longer functions.
the device gives no heartbeat, no charge, no power on. The PC does not recognize it when plugged into USB.
The device died ...
What do I do?
Thanks

You need to manually enter recovery. I don't have that phone so I don't kbiw if that rom is even the correct rom for your phone. To enter recovery on most devices hold volume up, home button and power. Roms are flashed in recovery not apps.

And is your battery full? Does adb recognize it?
If the rom is definitely for your phone I don't believe you've actually hard bricked.
U may wanna check that

Search man. Dont give up yet. Are you 100% sure that rom u tried to flash was for your device? If it wasnt then yes u may have a brick. If you're sure it was thwn keep searching there may be hope still. Maybe even try the method u used to root in tge first place?
? http://bit.ly/18WHgY4 ?
It might bricked
At first make sure your battery is healthy and try to charge it,then use one of unbrick methods available,take your phone to download mode and flash one of official p936 *.KDZ roms
it's better to flash android 2.3 versions for unbricking

Yeah not good. Basically the phone is an expensive paper weight now. I had the same thing happen to me a few months back and had to get a new phone. Your options:
1. Contact your phone company and see if it can be handled under warranty.
2. Contact LG.....same thing.
3. Spend $50-$100 on having a third party fix your phone.
4. Buy an expensive j-tag box and hard restore your ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1628254&page=1

8) If the phone is stuck at the booting up LG/Telco logo, you will need to manually wipe the data partition.
9) Force the phone off by holding the power button for appx 15secs.
10) Put the phone into recovery mode by holding the volume up and home button concurrently, then press the power button. Let go of all the buttons after you see the LG logo on screen for the 2nd time and the screen goes blank thereafter (backlight may still be on). The phone will kind of reboot and then enters recovery mode. Repeat the process if you did not get it the first time.
11) With the phone in Recovery Mode, connect it to the computer, wait for the drivers to load (if doing it for the first time), unzip the wipe batch file downloaded earlier from step (4), double click on wipe.bat to execute the wipe command.
12) Your phone will auto reboot when wiped and (hopefully) boot as per normal.
Follow this procedure and download wipe batch file from here http://www.mediafire.com/?ru7erfxsz7p7s3p

If you've lost your imei without making EFS backup , you've lost it forever. There's no fix for this i guess. Best bet for you is use your phone as it is.

Make sure you have the Samsung device driver installed on the PC. Also might try it on another PC if you have that option and see if Odin can connect to device.

First, Tablet needs to be switched off. Then, press "Power" and "Volume Down" buttons together. Once the screen lightens, release the buttons and follow the instructions on the screen.
In case you need to go to recovery mode, press "Power" and "Volume Up" buttons together (also the tablet must be switched off first).
I bricked mine trying to go back to stock rom ?
I own a HTC One V. And I did something at the TWRP menu like installing this CARBON-JB-UNOFFICIAL-20131022-1552-primoc thing.. and ever since then the phone doesn't boot.. it won't even go to that menu where it says FASTBOOT{ I think it's called the recovery menu :3 }
But, I charge it.. And then I plug it into the comp, it just connects and disconnects, like it's giving a faint indicator of life :3
Please help. I was on Ignorance V5..
Installing a rom can't hard brick your device.
Try to shut it down by holding the power button and immediately press vol down + power to enter your bootloader. Then you can select recovery and install a backup of your ignorance rom or do whatever you want.
BTW: It looks like you forgot to install the kernel for the custom rom.

Most likely you flashed the wrong ROM.
PrimoU <> PrimoC
Boot loader should still work as expected I guess:
<vol.down>+<power> should get you to the hboot menu.

Did you try fastboot command to reboot into bootloader?
The command might be accepted by phone during it's initial loading stage:
* connect phone to a computer
* run command (e.g. fastboot reboot-bootloader), must be waiting for response from device
* reboot your phone
* if you are lucky enough the command will be accepted on load.

Similar as you are running fastboot commands to root phone or install custom recovery.

You can download HTC drivers from almost any other hOV thread.

Remember, all you need to try with this tool is to reboot into bootloader. Try to click the tool button while your phone is starting to load.

The computer should not recognize your phone because it is not loaded completely (neither os, neither recovery).
But it might be recognized for a few seconds only while trying to load os. And you might be able to supply reboot command at that particular moment.
Just try what I said.

bought this cheap xperia z1 compact off a friend, never used a sony phone before so i thought rooting and installing custom firmware would be same as other android devices, the phone was running lolipop and i used kingroot to root it and then used flashify to install a custom kernel without knowing the device requires bootloader to be unlocked now my device wont turn on at all it vibrates 3 times and flashes red led if i press volume up +power button, i have been reading stuff online no solutions to my problem. tried flashtool but i cant get the device to recognised on the flashtool or get into recovery mode. which ever volume button i press and hold and try to power up it flashes 3 times red led. also tried volume up/down plugging into my laptop still red led. so can this device be unbricked or is it good as dead?

If bl is still locked, official Sony repair software might work, (but not sure if it will recognize that it was rooted and reject it). It's been a couple of years, but it used to be called PC Companion. You go to 'software update', and there's a 'repair phone' option.
Besides that, Flashtool is definitely your best bet. It takes a little setup, but not too bad - install Flashtool, and in the Flashtool folder is a 'drivers' folder, with a drivers.exe file. Run the exe and check boxes for 'fastboot', 'flashmode', and 'Rhine'. Let the drivers install, then connect phone in flash mode, (power off, hold volume down and plug it in). You should get 'installing device driver' popup. Click 'skip windows update check', and it will find the drivers already on computer from Flashtool. Now you need to download an ftf. Open Flashtool, and click the 'XF' button at the top. That opens Xperifirm. Find D5503, and click whatever regional fw you want. Now it will download and unpack. Whole thing takes about 10 minutes. When it's all done, open Flashtool, and select '' at the top, then choose 'flash mode', and navigate to the ftf file you downloaded. You need to double-click all the way down to the actual file and you will see all of the empty fields on the screen suddenly get filled in. If you want to go ahead and flash the whole thing, just click 'flash'; it takes about 10 minutes. Since you really only need the kernel, you can go to 'exclude' box and check everything except kernel files, then click 'flash', and it will be done in less than a minute.
Really appreciate for the information. But i just can't get flashtool or the pc companion detect the device. I don't know how to get it detected

Did you run drivers.exe and select the 3 checkboxes mentioned? Did it install successfully? If so, what happens when you plug in in flash mode?

Hey Levone. This bootloop thing has happened to me too. When i use flash mode, the led flashes green and then red, and nothing happens. I have my bootloader locked, and i flashed a new version of supersu, and got a bootloop. I lost my recovery, my OS, everything. I tried to get a stock firmware through xperifirm but that had a weird problem (some of the filenames were too long, so windows decided to not let me get that firmware). PC Companion does not recognize my phone. Could you help me?

Yes i installed driver.exe and checked those 3 you mentioned. When i connect my device holding volume down it does nothing. It shows on the flash tool device disconnected.

I think you're not powered off. Hard to tell with black screen. Try holding power and volume up for a few seconds, and see if you feel 3 vibrations. The you're powered off. Then try to connect in flash mode. Flashing a bad kernel shouldn't hurt your flash mode or fastboot.

Did you follow the drivers install instructions above? The green flash is a good sign, even if it doesn't stay lit. If you have the drivers, (and adb too, I think), you should get 'installing driver' message.

Yea, i got the "installing driver" message. It installed the driver "adb interface" or something like that. I don't remember what was it called, but something with adb in it. I will try using flash mode with flashtool, but i need a firmware. It would really help if you could get the ftf file from your phone and upload it to mediafire or somewhere where i can download it.

BTW - if you're going to go full ftf flash, might be a good idea to flash KK, which is easier to root, (doomlord toolkit), and then install recovery and flash LP prf. Otherwise, your either going to use Kingroot, or unlock bl.
