have you tried hardreset(red+green+power) or emergency(b/w+enter)mode?
might you can solve this way =)

My phone was bricked two times
1) The phone rest stuck to Samsung screen when I open it
2) PDXIB1
3) Samsung Center changed the motherboard of the phone
Symptoms:
Every application will respond with message: Application is not signed or missing components (or something else). Only soft reset worked - but phone did a hard reset every time. Sometimes after hard reset contacts stayed as it was (everything else was deleted). These troubles last for 3 days for me until my phone died. Board is damaged and repair will cost 310,- €.
ROM version:
28205 @96 DPI made by ironeagle
Repair:
To buy a new board and a new battery (cause the old one has been damaged too - or just use a second battery instead).

i donn't know how to getin emergency mode,can you explain what i should to do
emergency mode is the mode u use when u flash a new rom
fn+enter+power(5 seconds).
Anyway, when my device bricked...it was almost 6 months back.
I used quite a bit of wifi, and left my device on the charger with wifi on accidentally. When i woke up a couple hrs later...the device seemed like it was in standby charging. Pulled off the charger, but the charging LED was still glowing! Device didnt respond to anything, pulled the battery out and put it back in....and boom! went totally dead...tried different batteries, tried soft reset, format mode, emergency mode...nothing. no sign of life!
mobo had to be replaced....got it done free as it was just abt 15 days old when this happened
I think its more of a hardware fault....some units being faulty waiting to blow in your face!
Just spoke to Samsung service about bricked phones: From their experience they have changed mobo only once, when 780 wasnt charging, but was working.
But they told that in case of fault of bootloader - thay DONT restore it, just replacing motherboard!
So there is chance to repair you phone by JTAG tool.
I hope trizzio that helps.

Dude I advise you to visit http://www.omnia-repair.com/ and ask on forum if someone can do this for you. Tool is about 300 EUR and Omnia is top brick phone, so you should find services that already have it, it does support i780.
tip: use google search for more options.
Hey guys,
my phone was bricked: I'd flashed heineken's "i780 WM 6.5.3 ver.28205 DPI 96" rom. After two days some errors appeared and I flashed (&hardreset) the rom again. While connecting to ActiveSync the connection was broken after some minutes. Then I have disconnected the USB-Cable and the phone was frozen. No reaction. No hard-reset keys, no LED reaction while power-connector.
So... I'm not shure whether this problem is because of heineken's rom. But the good news are: Samsung support switched the motherboard because of 24month guarantee

Im sorry SAM.
This first version was really weird, I have changed algorythms of compile again in version 2.
But there is always way when you get starnge glitches before you get brick - to flash offical rom to avoid a brick.
As for me I never had any of symptoms..flashed 1001 time.
About bricks...
I have experienced described situations (sudden out of memory, unable to run any app becouse of errors, dissapearing data and so on) around ten times during my cooking/flashing adventures, with different ROMs from different developers. Sometimes at the begining, when weird behaviors of my i780 started, I tried flashing device with other unoficial images, but problems remained. I think I even posted about my problem somewhere...
And I could always recover my device doing one simple thing.
Flashing official PDXIB1.
But important thing is that YOU SHOULD USE OFFICIAL UPDATER from Samsung site (in my case Vista version), not a .bin under Mirage!!
I know it is stupid, but it works better (and if something looks stupid and works better, then it is not stupid any more; Murphy`s law)
In my case Mirage not always proved to be a sollution.
SO every time when that situation emerge, thats what I would do very quick:
1. Hard reset.
2. Flashing oficial Samsung Updater (tutorial on Samsung site)
About reasons bricks happens; I have found no pattern. It happens with WM6, WM6.1 and WM6.5 or WM6.5.x. Sometimes one and the same ROM works perfect two weeks and flashed next time generates bricks.
As someone noticed previously, it is probobly a hardware-software problem, some kind of memory /filesystem/ FAT? damage and it is possible to revert that by flashing official ROM..
I am not a computer scientist, but thats only pattern/mark I can see..
I have been using my n2 for 1 year. but, I found my note 2 not turning on two days back. I just kept it fully charged and the next morning its not turning on. It was first stuck on the boot logo. then, I pulled the battery out and try to factory reset from stock recovery. but, I couldn't enter. then I tried installing the stock rom via odin. but, no luck. my android version was 4.1. can anyone tell me where is the problem and how I can solve?
oh one thing, now its not even turning on. just going to download mode. if I connect it to charger a battery icon shows up with a refresh circle on middle.
Sorry for hear that, mine have died on Sunday night u_u after flashing Agni kernel but I don't think the fault was for the kernel, the days before flashing it was already showing an erratic behavior like freezing and rebooting by it self. I thought it was because an undervolt or something like that (some custom roms do it) so i tried changing the kernel =( to see how it will die.
I took my phone to an external service center on yesterday morning (It doesn't have warranty anymore), and there they used Riffbox and Jtag to trying come back to life :laugh: and it worked for a couple of hours. They told me it had the bootloader bricked. I have my doubts because I have not even touched the bootloader just once when I rooted it after bought It (if it was touched after it, should be on an update or custom rom flashing, I don't know).
But last night was died again, so I started to search on web and I found this SDS, all the stuff described are the same that my phone suffered (but It was on 4.3 Ditto Note 3 soooo I though it was already solved since 4.1.2).
Is very sad but now I'm going back to the Service Center to tell them what I found. Maybe they will need to change the emmc or the motherboard =S I hope it doesn't cost a lot.u_u
Whatever, maybe yours one can have the bootloader broken, because yours turn on into download, mine doesn't turn on to recovery/samsung logo/download. Perhaps you can have luck and a chip solution just trying to flash another bootloader with odin and if you can get back working your Android, don't forget to download the "emmc check" app from playstore. It will give you any clue about this, if it says your emmc is vulnerable you will need to do the same as me changing emmc or motherboard but if you have luck and says it is not a bad batch you will no have problems again just flashing a good bootloader.

Service Center in my country told me, that i have modified the software and that there is no warranty to it even if it was SDS, for which they know...
New motherboard and that's it...:crying:
U should have done factory reset by stock recovery and bring binary count to 0 by that. I had same problm. Went to service centre there they told to replace motherboard which was almost costing very high. Luckily I had made everything on phone normal before going to service centre so I had done all in warranty《free》

if you can go into download mode try flashing a stock rom via ODIN and report back. If it says NO PIT PARTITION in ODIN then you need to flash the pit file and then a stock rom .

Sorry to hear that, but they told you nonsense. If it's really SDS they have to repair for free. Ask a friend in your country who is envolved in legal things, a lawyer best.
One in general: As long as one can start eg. download mode, it is no SDS, mostly a software prob.

Try restoring with stock rom.
1. download the latest firmware (http://lg-firmware-rom.com/)
2. Follow the below thread for the steps to install it.

Had the same problem too, but every method I tried didn't work. So I used the warranty for LG and they're repairing/replacing the phone. You need to email or talk to a LG representative.
The only thing you have to pay is shipping and the rest are free.

I have the same issue (hard bricked g3) but this definitely isn't under warranty, I got it from a friend cause I figured it'd be soft bricked, but nope it's completely unresponsive, besides QHSUSB__BULK
Ummm, tried formatting what? There is factory reset, restore, but formatting?
Did you try KDZ flash or TOT flash?
If one fails, try the other.
KDZ wouldn't work for me, but the TOT flash method worked like a charm to flash my D852.
If you can see ANYTHING at all on your screen, recovery menu, download mode screen, anything at all, then it's very likely your device can be fixed.
But if you can't see anything whatsoever on your screen, like no recovery screen, no download mode screen ect then it's hard bricked and must be repaired by the hardware vendor.
EDIT: Here are a few other common reasons for failed flashing:
1. Make sure you're using the LGUnitedMobileDriver
2. Try a different usb port (front and rear usb ports can act dramatically different from eachother).
3. Try a different usb cable.
4. Try a different computer to flash.
I just got my phone repaired from LG and I recieved it two weeks after I sent it the phone to LG. They repaired my phone but they deleted everything
Hello there, First of all i am new here, This is my first post here... well let's continue with my problem.
I bought a LG G4 about 1 month ago, everything was going perfectly, but 2 days ago it start to install a new android version on the phone, it says a new update was there, so i tried to download it... Everything goes ok and then my phone start with problems, i can't unistall any app because my phone restart, can't do a password because it close, can't use my phone like always...
So i tried to downgrade my phone to a previous android version, i tried this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
I used the kdz method using LG UP, i downloaded the firmware (PR H810PR10a_04.kdz) so i decided to follow the step in the thread mentioned before, everything was ok, it show up 100% and say complete, so i decide to unplug my phone and tried to power up, so what's up? My phone died, i can't make it power up, can't access download mode, can't acess factory reset or anything else, It doesn't power up using power on button, tried to charge and does nothing, PC don't reconigze it...
So maybe i bricked it, Is there any solution to this? As i need help... I am afraid of losing my phone as it was working amazing before.
Thanks you in advance.

Just give another cable a try. Maybe it's just the charger. Otherwise you may be another victim of the motherboard issue. Which serial? 5xx?

Pull out he battery and you will see the serial. If it starts with 5xx your chances are big that you're another victim of the main board issue.
Check the other threads regarding bootloop and if you wanna recover your data try the freezer or oven method (search for those here)

Your phone is proably refurbrished, and it have no all h810 parts inside. So proably it's not H810, and you flashed image for this, that's can be problem. you have to disassembly your phone and check parts.
I buyed it new so it's not refurbrished

Hello.
Yesterday I was trying to get Ubuntu Touch on this and due to some inconveniences, I decided to go back to android.
I was flashing the stock firmware when I got an error that said it was waiting for the device.
I turned off the phone as I had to leave and returned to it a few hours later.
The phone won't turn on at all, not even vibrating. I plugged into my battery and it is charging at 5v and 0.5A.
I tried getting it into EDL, but no luck.
I think the phone might be dead, or at least the battery, but I don't know how to check or how to save it.
Is there anything I can do?

I finally managed to get it into EDL. Only the hard way is possible as the phone gives no sign of life(no screen flash, no vibration, nothing).
Upon attempting to flash I get either a firehose error or a Sahara error. I tried both with the original and with a no authentification programmer. This was with QFIL.
I also wanna try QDL on my arch, but I'll get to that tomorrow.
It's still kind of a hassle to get it into EDL as it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.
Do you think there still is a chance with this, or should I be looking for a motherboard replacement instead?

depend on what you did before
if you mess with the standard partitions (boot/dtbo/system/vendor), that can be solved with EDL
if you mess with hidden partition then look for replacment
