I am stuck on the G1 boot screen. this is the same part, but I've tried home+power, camera+power, vol down+power, call+power and any other combination.
Only when I hold the action(mouse like button)+power I can see blue led is on
please help on that
Hmmm try plug the phone into the computer and keep trying different combinations until you get FASTBOOT USB in red at the top left of the g1 screen
I'm not exactly sure how to get into this but I know I've got into it a few times when it was plugged in
Please tell us if you get it
I was trying to update spl or radio I dont remember which one cause this. I will keep trying.
did you loose power during the radio/spl update?
well, actually i did not loose power, but it stock on boot screen on update and I remove battery desperately. its been 1 month I can not use my g1

Well you bricked when it got stuck on the boot screen
If it got stuck that means you flashed the wrong spl/radio

You can get into fastboot mode by pressing POWER + CAMERA and plug in your phone with USB. I was so dumb enough that my brother almost cried when i not even soft-brickes his phone, after one friggin' year of research, i saw that i just need to flash another ROM. If that doesn't work, then I am sorry, your phone is bricked. If you can remember what radio/spl-combo you flashed, i can do more research.
Or do you even know what ROM you flashed????

Well there you have it, mostly, it has to reboot and get stuck on the splash screen, then it reboots into recovery. That may be the cause of your brick. Another problem is, that all those guides are not so exact at telling their readers what to do. Next time you're following a guide, just look at the maker of the thread if he's at least a senior member.

Hi,
I really need your help. I have Samsung Galaxy S with CM9 on it. Few hours ago my phone went into boot loop and then it switched off. When I am trying to turn it on all I can see is the triangle with exclamation between phone and PC symbol. I cannot go to recovery mode but I can go to downloading mode. I have been looking for solution for over 3 hours and nothing. I've tried ODIN but it did not work. Oding got stuck on factory.fs.
Any ideas, please?

Hey, man. Same problem here. It seems that my cellphone is with its memory full, then I can't upload any rom to it. Any ideas?
I have spent whole night on this but still I am in dead end. Maybe it is because of memory but I am not sure and I can't really check. Help please.

Just saw this on another forum about how to force a phone into recovery mode:-
There is another Method but I am not sure of it's effectiveness in 900X
Please Try the Following Step By Step:
First Turn Off the Device and Remove the Battery
Press and Hold both Volume Up and Volume Down Keys
While still holding the Keys Enter the Battery into the Phone
This Method has been effective in the GT-9000i and Nexus S.
Peace.

Here is another link that might be useful. I think your phone is "soft bricked". Using this method you will download all the files that the device needs. Hope it doesn't wipe your phone!
http://androidforums.com/vibrant-tips-tricks/223806-guide-fixing-bricks-odin-errors.html
I downloaded ODIN and Gingerbread 2.3.4 firmware but I cannot flash my phone. ODIN does not respond, sometimes it gets stuck on setupconnection and sometimes on zImage.
EDIT.
Finally I have made some progress. After hours of flashing my blue bar on the phone finally reached half. Should I wait more or it is 100 percent sure that some error will come up? I am tired if this soft bricked phone already and I don't really know what to do. IMO I should just wait couple more hours and see.
try getting a jig which will force your your phone into download mode
I am in download mode, no problems with that but flashing takes ages.
hi
Did u get off your sim card and external sdcard, turn off the Kies? Check all drivers for your phone?

Need help.
My optimus 2x seem to be bricked.
nothing shown at the screen. (just blank)
i can't enter the cwm.
smartflash also cannot detect my phone.
I try to use nvflash but it stuck at "waiting for bootloader to initialize"
anything i can do to revive my phone ?
or is it totally bricked ?
Hi,
Congratz for being the first person I ever read on o2x thread whom actually 'succesfully' bricked his phone. I've been here since o2x thread was born..alot of ppl use the term 'bricked' loosely but hasn't actually really bricked their phones.
If you lost ADB, Fastboot, unable to Nvflash/Smartflash... your phone is, sad to say, gone.
Anyway, I really hope you can share what you did to eventually get into this state, atleast you can help others to prevent bricking their o2x.
Thanks.
Well congratz, now move to something that is properly supported

Haha.
can I get medal for this "achievement" ?
I bought it as faulty phone around usd 16. so I don't know what happen to it.
Ouh...usd16.. pretty useful for spare parts.
If you bought it for 16 dollars then I would advise you to sell the phone for spare parts. Even the glass costs 20 or more dollars.

hmmmm, dudes, idk if im right buuuuuuuuuut... happened to me, i thought it was completelt dead, when after all i found out that my pc didnt recognise my lg o2x as an apx platform so it would always fail, sooooo, i did it on my sisters pc which never had lg drivers and i resurected my phone id advise to try it...
---------- Post added at 11:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 PM ----------
ohhh, long story short and translated, if you have ever installed lg drivers on your pc, forget about it being recognised as an apx platform, even if you uninstall all lg software
1.From PC,manually place Stock LG Rom(V20Q.zip or [?]) on Your SD card then reinsert in phone.
2.Don't connect phone to PC or power (AC)
3.pull the battery out and reinsert it( now connect power (AC)
Hold the Volume Down button (keep pressed!!) then press and hold the Power button until the device turns on and you see the recovery menu
4.then proceed as you normally would meaning install .zip from SD card
Hope it helps

Yes,I read that, But neither would mine after using ext3 converter without backup!
So after eating a big bowl of "BOOTLOOPS" I utilized the phones hard reset mode thinking It would lead to a factory reset but instead got the CWM recovery menu
after which I flashed and Voila 0_0
Also "DUDE" at least I'm trying to offer help instead of joking about such a serious concern...I guess... well only maybe when it's your phone and you have no answers<---this looks better

You should really read again OP, it can't load bootloader.. So it can't boot to anything as bootloader is the essential part of the phone that loads after either recovery partition, or /boot Android one.

Once again, I know and understand!!!!!
New to LG but not to how this process works so please stop with the "Dear N00B"
responses
I was only offering a suggestion that maybe wasn't tried even if proven futile!
also, for the most part, the days of "bricks" are pretty much over so there is always the slimmest possibility for hope. Wouldn't you exhaust every possibility....
Anyway,enough said on this I hope that he finds a solution
hi there,
N00B here...i had this kind of problem too...my laptop still recognize it as nvidia bootloader for mobile device AKA APX driver, but it never flashed in the nvflash way...
holding volume down and insert charging cord also give me nothing...
Hi,
I have a 1 month old HTC Vivid. It was running it on ICS 4.0.3 and it was rooted. Today, while I was working on it, it suddenly powered off and now it won't do anything. Like it doesn't display anything on the screen, doesn't get powered up and when I connect the charger, I can't even see the orange light. ITS TOTALLY F**KED UP!!!
Please Help!! Thanks!!
Can you boot into H-Boot?
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
I got the same problem. The phone did not work at all. It only flashed for a few seconds when I pressed the power button. I searched all the websites, but nothing worked. My solution is to send the phone to HTC to have it fix. They have a very good customer service.
With the charger plugged in, does the phone vibrate when the HOME, MENU, BACK, or SEARCH buttons are pressed?
Had a similar problem, for me HTC was the only solution, just say that it happened suddenly and dont mention anything about boot loader or roms.
Have you guys tried project UNBRICK yet? Search that on the forum here, as I can't post links yet.

Yes but it is a pain and takes several tries. I had this problem a few days ago and this was the only way I could get around it.
I HOPE YOU HAVE DATA BACKED UP! That's your responsibility and not mine. If this ruins your phone then tough. I will not be held responsible for a bricked phone...
First off, assuming the bootloader is UNLOCKED, install the ALL IN ONE tool on your computer (it actually runs from a folder and doesn't really install which is good)...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003
Open it, then...
Remove any bought protective case (it may mess with the buttons).
Unplug charger.
Remove battery.
Wait 5 minutes.
Reinstall battery.
Plug in USB cable from the computer.
Hold down the VOLUME DOWN button and then the POWER button.
It should boot into the bootloader. On the ALL IN ONE tool, flash recovery to CWM. Once complete, click on "Boot into Recovery".
If the phone does not boot into Recovery, flash recovery to WCX.
If the phone reboots into Recovery, you will want to do a factory reset, wipe cache, go to mounts and format them all. Then mount it as USB and copy/paste a ROM over and flash to that ROM. I like Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.2.1.
Good luck.

Worked perfect - had to pull the kernel out of the ROM I used and flash it with the tool but it worked perfectly...
Im betting your screen might be toast, happened to my wife's vivid, completely just up and died one day for no reason. I haven't rooted yet and this sort of stuff makes me leary to do it.

EDIT: I have stopped looking for these threads. The more I look, the more I find. If the above threads don't convince you that there is a serious issue with the vivid, then adding more of the same problem will no longer help.
I have added this thread to a growing list of similar threads. Please read the other threads and see if your issues seem familiar.
From what I understand... Don't let your battery run out on this phone. Some Vivids kill batteries.
Solution? None yet.
1. Buy a new battery once a couple of months-ish, until someone figures out why some Vivids are eating batteries. YMMV
*OR*
2. You might invest in a external charger and see if that can bring the "Vivid munched" battery back to life. YMMV
I vote to thread merge the above threads if this proves to be the issue.
Hey, my HTC One can't Start and when i try to load it, only the red light appears every 2 seconds.

Leave it charging for a while and then try again
I leave it charging but always every 2 seconds the red light appears and i think that is wrong too,or?
Doesnt work with long charging.
Yes i cant go in recovery because of stock Rom.
If your phone is fully stock, this sounds like a hardware fault. But you might run the RUU for your device, if there is one.
Ahh now i See that the Display is coming out of the phone a little Bit i realised it since now. Seems like that the glue is Not working anymore. What can i Do?
ok guys, so here's the story... it happen yesterday, as anyday i woke at the sound of my alarm(bodies-drowning pool)... now i wanna listen to the song while I write this; well, anyways... everything was fiiiiiiiiiiiiine, phone looked as good as always, got ready to school, then at chemistry class when i wanted to check the time... phones dead, first thought, battery dead right?... nope! a friend of mine got another golden , and nein... still not working with her battery, tried mine in her phone... it worked great; also forgot to say that it did not enter to recovery neither download mode, not even vibrates when the power button was pressed... so i think did my teacher bored 2 dead my phone?... ok ok, jokes apart... the problem is, after I discharge the phone reactive elements, it finally give me a glimpse of hope, it started, samsung letters with model number-breath away... waiting still-and again the ****ing letters, yeah it got into a bootloop, turns out is not the common ones... tried everything i can found on internet (first pages of google, search on xda... list goes on) nothing works... tried:
Using Odin(only download mode works)
flashing couple of bootloaders
flashing param+wipe
flashing param+wipe+stock rom
PD: if i try to enter to recovery mode, it shows TWRP image before the menu comes up, then goes to bootloop again.
PD2: Also when i hit power it shows the samsung letters with the return and menu blinking about 4-5 times, everytime I try to start the phone, then it goes to bootloop again... and so until it drains the battery.
PD3: Almost forgot, when i try to flash the stock rom, i get "movi_write card_status 2" and blk goes as far as 682k if it matters.
Willing to try anything all in the name of science of course ... if nothing happes im gonna tear it appart and salvaje everything my new rover may need a couple of thingies later on...
Little help will be appreciated
You can try conecting another USB cable on the back USB ports of the PC, also try to flash with an authentic stock firmware, you can get your exact phone firmware from Sammobile.com
Found a solution?

Have you tried flashing a fresh and perhaps newer version of TWRP?
What were the results of your attempts to flash the above? I understand that you still can't get it to boot to device or recovery modes, but does Odin report success?
Have you tried using fastboot to boot it into recovery mode? (You'll probably get the same TWRP bootloop, but worth a crack.)
---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------
...and have you tried re-rooting the phone using one of the one-touch applications (e.g. Kingoroot)? I don't know what state they need the phone to be in to work, but it might help in getting a usable ROM onto the phone if it works.
Disclaimer: I'm no expert - still haven't managed to get a working custom onto mine yet.
