Describe the steps you took to install Darkyy's 7.0 Rom?
What firmware and recovery did you have before you flashed the new rom?
Can you access Recovery or Download mode still? (make sure you pull your battery and reseat before attempting this)
I had darkys 7.0.
Today i flashed darkes 7.0.2
I placed the rom on sd
opend rom manager
Install ROM from SD card
wipe data/cache.
when it install was finished the phone just die.
i tried to start with 3 way comb its black.
You were meant to install with CWM I believe.
I just follow the instr..
can i reseat the phone by pressing some button on the phone?
Seems like an empty battery to me

Rom Manager is an app that uses CWM recovery, it's the same developer for both.
What can i do?
Is the phone dead?
I have charge the phone all night, still dead.
Does your phone have the 3 button combo enabled ? Are you able to access Download or Recovery mode ?

Does your battery charging icon show when your phone is off and charging ?
You can also try removing the battery, reinserting it and quickly trying to access download or recovery mode. See if that works...
if all the methods and jigs to power up the phone fail, then you have fully bricked it.
it happend to me aswell i have fully bricked my sgs and nothing worked to turn it back on.
sent it away to samsung for repair 2weeks ago and its now on its way back with a new motherboard, lesson learnt.
SEND IT TO SAMSUNG THEY WILL FIX IT
Take the battery out, wait 15 seconds, push 3 button combo while inserting the battery, repeat if necessary. If still no recovery or download mode then buy a jig or send it to Samsung.

hey dude i have flash n1 2 times. but it get hot and restart....
than i remove battery for 2 hours...than phone get cold....than i put battery now cynogen works..not get restart...
i thinks its hardware problem?...when phone get hot it restart again n again...can anybody tell me which hardware problem is this?
Hi all,first off im not gonna say my tab is bricked im to much of a noob to do that,but I've gotta say I'm really worried that my tab might be toast.To cut a long story short my son gotta hold of my tab without my knowledge and flashed a rom onto it.From what i can ascertain he's not followed the instructions on installation,instead of using the computer he's downloaded a zip file with the rom on it,then he's gone into recovery mode via clockworkmod(i have rom manager app on my tab)he's then wiped the cache and the dalvik and then proceeded to install the rom from the SDcard that he'd downloaded earlier.Anyway he said it seemed to have worked because he got a message on screen saying thank you for installing overcom rom v2.0.1 hermes installation complete enjoy using it.The message was roughly like that anyway.It also said that the 1st boot could take a long time as it had to rebuild the cache and the dalvik.So wait he did,4 hours later and all that was on screen was.....GALAXY TAB
SAMSUNG......plus all the hardware keys were constantly lit.By this time id come in and discovered what he done.So i tried to put it into recovery mode so i could hopefully put another rom onto it.But when i press power and the up volume key it just goes straight to the screen i described above,I've not had a problem getting into recovery before but now zilch....Plus another thing when i plug in the charger in instead of getting the green battery symbol gradually filling up i instead get a grey battery symbol that just sits there and does nothing.
I'll be eternally grateful if anyone can get my tab going again,i bought it in the uk open to any network,so i guess its a european tab(ON BOX IT SAYS GT-P1000).Can anyone help me,I'm trying my best to stay positive lol.
Cheers dave.

Make sure your tab has enough charge (charge it if necessary by plugging it in wall socket even if there is no indication) After that try to boot it into download mode (power & volume down) or any detectable download mode by your pc. Get a stock rom from here or from anywhere (what rom was tab originally on froyo? Gingerbread?). Follow the instructions to flash that stock rom. Overcome guide has great instructions on how to restock your tab.
Kindly ask your questions in appropriate forums.
Thanks darkpal,i was on froyo,although i couldn't get into recovery mode i tried what you said,power button and volume down and was able to get into download mode.
So when i can get access to a suitable computer I'll try what you recommended.
Sorry if this post was in the wrong place my heads been all over the place since my tab has been down.
Thanks again for the tip and fingers crossed it will work. Dave

I was about 99% sure thats what your son did. He tried loading the gingerbread overcome rom over froyo. And that resulted on a non bootable state (or as some call it soft brick). GB has different bootloaders than froyo thats why a stock gingerbread should be installed first before overcome 2.X.
Hope to see you up and running soon
Good luck man... just try everything, never give up!
It's because of the wiped dalvic cache!
ps: you should check out some bootloop problem threads. use search!
Hi all kind bros and sis,
Please help me out as I think I've really bricked my less than 2 months brand new Optimus 2X..
You see.. I rooted my P990 using unlock root and chanced upon CM7 and thought of giving it a try. I installed clockworkmod and downloaded the stable release of 7.1 for Optimus 2x.. following the instruction to do a Nandroid backup and proceeded with the Mod..
Not knowing that I need to wipe everything including data.. I just selected the Dalvik cache wipe and proceed with the mod. The process went for more than 15mins and I saw some graphics (the android figure going round and round) but it just stuck there... the screen went blank and when I touched those home or back buttons.. they will lighted but nothing happens. I can't power it off also. So I manually took out the battery and put it back before powering up again. The android picture appeared again briefly for about 1 min and just hanged there. I took out the battery again and this time it was dead.. no matter what I press : vol + and power buttons together; home+Vol+ + power down; Vol- + power down.. all those do not revive the phone.
I tried taking out the external SD card and try powering up. The LG logo appeared and got stuck there.
I searched on Google and found the smartflashtool. I tried that and managed to install the NVidia boot recovery driver and stuff correct. Hold the vol+ button and power key before plugging in but the smarttool did not find the com port or communication driver whatever so I couldn't flash it back to stock.
I'm very desperate and stuck now... did I just accidentally burned the board or something? What bad luck I have
If that's the case, will I still be able to bring the phone back to LG service centre and get it repaired?
Please help me.. any kind souls out there. I really liked the phone and hoped to bring it back. else it's such a shortlived phone... really breaks my heart to see this..
Thanks in advance...

Try using SmartFlashTool, download the LG stock ROM (can be found here in XDA forum, i'll help you find the link), flash the .bin and .fls files.

Turn off the phone. Hold Vol-DOWN while plugging it in. Start Smartflash and see the com-ports magically appear.
Follow trymhansen's instructions. He helped me before with my softbricked phone.
I hope you get your O2X back to life! Keep us posted
Best of luck to you!
PS. I also believe you should pull out the battery after turning off the phone in Trym's instructions. Trym correct me if I'm wrong please.
Hi All,
Thanks for your kind replies. I did follow your instruction. Take out the battery (I removed the ext SDcard as well), press and hold -vol and plug in the phone via USB. Afterwhich start up smartflash tool.. still nothing happens and no com ports are found.. The version of smartflashtool that I used is Dec 2010. Do I need to get the latest one and also the LG united drivers installed?
I also tried starting smartflash tool before the sequence.. still the same. BTW.. my OS is Win 7. Is it supported?
Really at my end's wit. Hope I can bring my phone back to life soon and I'm not really bricking it. I heard Samsung phones are not that easy to brick and can get to the recovery mode pretty easily. is it true?
Please help me.. thanks
Hi bros,
Attached are my screenshots from the device manager and smartflash tool... both seems not able to find the phone and allocate a com port. I've tried installing the latest LG mobile driver 3.6 but no help as well
Have you followed instructions as described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070 ?
Also, try to attach your phone directly to computer, using usb ports from computer mainboard. I have experienced problems when attaching it via extension usb cord or attaching it to computer case ports. (I hope that you can understand what I have mean to say with usb )
Hi Memhis,
Yes.. I followed exactly the instructions from the thread and I've plugged into a USB port directly to the computer which is one of the ports in front.. not via any extension or USB hub.. still it did not detect.
I'll try to use another computer which is running Win XP and try again. I've downloaded those 3 files from that thread you recommended try using those instead.. hope it can be detected this time else I think I'll have to send to LG service for repair tomorrow.
I've been jailbreaking and modding my Iphone a lot and everytime whenever there's a near brick situation.. I'm able to fix it but not this time with an Android or LG perhaps... I hope I don't have to go to the extend of using ADB low level to push some files which I saw in one of the thread that one of the guys did that.. but I doubt I can since my windows can't even detect the phone!!
Maybe this will be my first and last LG phone if I ever get it repaired...

launch smartflashtool first, extract the .fls and .bin files, hold down volume at the same time plug in the usb port to your comp. you must see a s/w updating logo in your phone's screen and smartflash should detect your phone. then click start!

Hi mrgian,
I just tried to revive my phone by using the same method on a different laptop running on Win XP.. plugged directly to a side USB port but still no luck. There's no s/w updating logo appearing on my phone and smartflashtool also failed to detect my phone. I've found another thread opened by another user and my situation is exactly the same as his :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161583
But lucky for him is that he's able to get it working after changing to another PC but I've tried 3 different machines and no luck so far...
I'll try to use the NVflash as a last resort and see if I've any luck with NVflash at all.. If it failed again.. I think I've no choice but to send it to the repair centre for servicing then..

Yes.. I've installed the latest LG united mobile driver version 3.6. Any wrong with that version... Really don't know where / what is missing or my phone is really fried after just one mod attempt?
I've also tried NVflash and it's stuck at the "bootloader initialization" screen....
Nothing appeared on the phone... not even LG logo. Can't believe LG phones are so fragile and unmodifiable

When you say an USB port in the front do you mean an USB in the back? Because the ones in front are the case ones, the ones in the back are the good ones, i.e. the ones that are directly attached to the mobo.

I plugged in the phone with battery but there was no charge logo or whatever.. the screen remains blank.. I'll try to leave it charging and see what happens. But I've remembered there was still about 80% power when this disaster happened and I've taken out the battery since.. so the charge should have remain? Btw.. where can I get this ext3 back.zip and how to use it? thanks
Ok, so my phone is rooted and i was going through the steps before applying they cyanogen mod 10 nighly.
In cwm i had:
- Created a back up
- Wiped data / factory reset
- Wiped cache partition (it took a wil then the screen went black as if it had reset)
And now i am unable to power 'on' the device?
Any ideas

Do you mean you cant power the device ON ?
What happens when you connect usb cable ? Does anything light up, Does your computer 'beep' to notify you of a connected device ?
Have you took battery out and reinserted ? or just left it to charge for around 10 mins before trying to power on ?
Also, What ROM + Kernel were you on before you did the wipes in recovery ?
Ahh yes, in my panic i miss typed.
O cant power on i have tried taking the battery out etc. but with no luck.
I just plugged it into my laptop pc and not a thing
I was on stock ICS (uk) and i don't think i changed the kernel either
I had just rooted and did the super user thing
I also probably didnt fully install CMW as i ran the CWM.zip from external sd from recovery each time.

If you are on stock kernal that implies you are prone to emmc bug, you shouldnt do wipes on stock kernal

You can Revive your phone with a pit file like me. I bricked mine with the same way as you. Check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26285877&postcount=12
Thanks but I don't know if that will work as i can't get the phone to power on (as far as i can tell) and it doesn't seem to do anything when i plug it into the laptop.
No ping no beep.
It had about 60% power left when i did it so it has juice.
I am thinking might have to take it to carphonewhorehouse and tell them i was just doing a factory reset cos it had slowed down with all the apps and it reset while doing it and now won't turn on?

in this ERA of auto-root kernels, people still using CWM.zip...
probably should have just read some stickies. but too late...
if there is no response from the device, the pits are not going to work. only way is to get a replacement motherboard under warranty,
and as the device is non responsive.. they will not be able to detect anything about root.
Good Luck
Yeah i did some reading, but clearly not in the right place
back to the shop it goes. If you have a guide that you could point me to to get this doen the correct way then that would be much appreciated (if and whn i get a working replacement)
Thanks

when you get the phone check what rom its on. just update to the latest ICS rom..(donot wipe).
download philz kernel for the rom you have updated to.
put it in the sd card
boot into recovery
and apply update from ext storage.> point to the kernel > install
thats it. your phone gets rooted, safe kernel and CWM inbuilt.
now you can follow the procedure in the CM10 rom to install. (The Safe Way)
Thanks!
I have just got back from CPW where the nice lady said that it looks like a hardware fault given what i had described so she is sending it off to be either mobo replaced o plain replaced.
I have emailed myself your guide and will look into it if and when i get it back.
Thanks !
