definitely maybe probably bricked

OK well i was installing Darkys latest rom. I was at the point where i was in
download mode and odin. While odin was loading files the usb slipped out of the
phone because nothing besides the stock usb cord happens to stay firmly in the
charging port on this phone. This is the 2nd time this happed but when it
happened this time my phone just stopped working and by stop working i mean i
get absolutely no picture on the screen. nothing happens when its plugged into
power cord or usb cord. nothing. tried holding all 3 buttons in tons of times and
nothing.
Im out of warranty and got no insurance. I did get att to give me 180 credit cuz
i threatened to cancel. so if i cant fix this im gonna use a crappy prepaid phone
for the time being. If the SGS2 doesnt come out by march then ill probably get
an axtrix even tho i would rather get SGS2.
So please does anyone know of anything i can try?? i'm probably gonna goto an att store and try a new battery. Any suggestions would be appreciated???

You tried pulling everything, plug in usb, hold rocker, put back in batt? My understanding is, if you have the bad luck of that cable coming out while loading the boot loader then you r indeed SOL.

Buy or make a jig

Double spacing isn't necessary. We aren't going to grade your post.
You hopefully now understand that flashing to stock isn't the way to avoid problems; it's the way to create big ones.
Try removing the battery, wait a couple of minutes, plug in USB, hold volume up+down, while holding up+down insert the battery and see if that gets you back into download mode.

I tried all that. Ive probably flashed every single rom in the development section of the forum.
If it gets unplugged while doing an update then usually it displays the phone..!..computer picture and you can still get into download mode from there. I'm getting nothing tho.
the reason i think it could be the battery is because it may have been pretty close to dying which is stupid for flashing when it was close to dead but i wanted to hurry up because i had to leave the house. i'm wondering if since the software on there now is corrupt would that make the phone unable to charge. thats why i want to try a new battery

I don't think a jig will help. Usually it is used when your buttons never worked.... but hey... only a couple bucks vs the cost of a new phone.

yeah i know my buttons work, i just cant get my phone to turn on at all. also tried multiple chargers and usb cables. I think i'm screwed. im hoping someone on here heard of this problem before but ive never read anything about it on here before.
Using a POS phone till the SGS2 comes out is gonna suck

anyone know anything?
I will be trying another battery today.

Besides a jig, I have nothing else for you sorry.
But on a different spectrum, if you do get a new phone, dont get the atrix, it is the worst phone out of all the phones coming out on att. Get the inspire our the infuse if you dont want to hold a dinner plate to your head.

There is no guarantee, but it certainly could

juts tried a new a battery and still nothing.
I'm now rocking a Nokia 2320.
SGS2 I guess but i think i'm gonna be waiting a long time.
this nokia is so bad i dont think im going to make it thru the end of the month

Try the jig. It can not make things worse for you and MAY actually work for your issue.

phone needs to be able to power on for a jig to work.
how are you out of warranty? (besides the custom rom) the phone has a 1 year warranty and it is not been on the market that long.
if the phone *happened* to be *dammaged* in a way that they would never notice AND would NEVER be able to read the memory (with out spending thousands of dollars), THEY WOULD NEVER KNOW you flashed custom rom and voided your warranty. they would try to test it, nope, broken, NEXT...
and SGS2 expected in june

yeah your right i still am in warranty but 2 weeks after i got the phone i dropped it and the screen cracked but the cracks not that bad. So i cant warranty the device because the crack. I did get att to give me $180 credit on my bill. $30 of every 6 month.

Ive heard the international version of the SGS2 will be out long before the att version will be. So i might use my upgrade on an iphone 4 and then sell it and buy the international SGS2.
what do you guys think about that idea?

thanks guys

[q] help please

Ok i know there is probably something already out there but im REALLY FREAKING OUT. I updated to 1.8 and throughout the day it killed my battery and i got home and was gonna flash back to 1.5 and while RSD was flashing it failed. I then realized i forgot one of the most important steps... To have a full battery.. i think my phone died while flashing... is it bricked? If so im f************cked... please respond.
If i did brick it, is there anyway i can contact moto support and get a new device?
Edit: I unplugged it from my pc and pulled the battery and plugged it back in. My pc recognizes it as a USB Mass storage device... is there still hope for me?
Ok so after sitting here for a while my phone booted back up i did notice that RSD lite managed to create a image thing? Idk what that is so im just guessing that maybe thats what saved me cause i could have sworn i read that it would for sure brick your device. Run on sentence. Spare me grammar Nazis. Anyways the phone is back up and running and you can be damn sure im going to charge this all the way before i try anything like that again. thanks for the quick responses and sorry for making a new thread for this... feel like i spazzed out if a mod could remove this thread?

I cant answer the other question because I dont know, but if you have insurance or whatever its called on your phone if it really does turn out to be bricked then you could have it replaced using that... (from what I heard if you do have that you only get like 1 or 2 replaces before they wont let you do it again for the year just an fyi)
and I mean insurance through AT&T not moto

Only one way to tell...
Charge the battery fully and turn it on. Try reflashing the sbf and see what happens.

if it can see that, can you get it into the RSD mode by holding down the + volume button?

Have you tried letting it charge on mains for a while? Might get charge and be able to flash.

I would first try and re-flash it... but if it does not work then I leave that up to you and your conscious about getting insurance for it after its already messed up and stuff... but I would suggest even if you do get it to work, you may want to invest in that if you plan on doing a lot of developing on it or anything like that, which gives you a chance to brick your phone.

[Q] No response from my I9000. Not even battery chaging animation.

Hi all!
Today my phone just stopped at school for no reason. I checked the clock on it and after a few minutes I wanted to check it again, but this time I got no response from it. I thought it just freezed. So I pulled the battery out and put it back after a few mins. But no response. After I got home, I plugged it the wall charger, but nothing happened. No battery indicator, not even the little circle. Have you got any ideas what just happened to my phone?

is the model i9000 and not i9300?
Just wanted to make sure because I've had similar issues with i9300.

Nope. It's the first generation Samsung Glaxy S. The one with the AMOLED display not even the I9003, so the one with the S-LCD screen.

Ok.
I guess it's out of warranty then...
What ROM and Kernel did you have?

I had the latest Cyanogenmod 10 Nightly and the latest Devil kernel.
But I rented a USB JIG today and I hope it will fix it.

I tried two different batteries, the jig, every button combo I found on the internet, but nothing worked. Now I took it to a little phone service and see what they say.

Seems that there's been some hardware problems with i9300. Dunno if something wrong with i9000 also.
If you love your i9000 that much, fix it. If not, buy i9300 §

Good News. They successfully repaired it and it was cheap. They said I used Galaxy Ace modem driver which is weird, because I used that modem driver since I bought the phone.

Any news about your SGS ? Let me know. I hard bricked a SGS I9000B and its not even mine, I mean it wont turn on, wont light up the screen, wont give any working sign, when battery is inserted for a long time the phone warms up. 3 buttons wont work, sliding the battery in and pressing 3 buttons also wont work. Should I try the USB JIG? Is there any way around ?

New phone won't turn on - red light?

So I just got my new Xperia T today, and I've charged it for about an hour and a half and it won't turn on. All it gives me is a flashing red light sometimes, but not always. Any ideas?
EDIT: just checked the manual and it says when the device is charging it should give a little orange light by the notification LED. I don't get this light showing at all.

press and hold power button an volume up for 8 seconds.
If that does not boot it, charge it longer

It was from a CeX shop, but it was literally brand new, never been turned on before that; they had to turn it on to test it, so I assume it's worked before.
So I'm pretty sure it's not charging; the red light occasionally flashes when I press the power button (not always though), but the orange light isn't showing up. I've tested the cable, plug and socket with my Kindle and it charges just fine.

Yep, I'll go back tomorrow or Monday and get another phone or get my money back. Appears to be something wrong with the charging port or the battery. I have 12 months warranty on the phone from CeX, so I'm safe.

Fair enough. Just wondering why you changed your mind though to get the nexus? Curious to see what an unbiased person thinks (I'm hoping you're unbiased lol)

[SOS ASAP HALP PLIS] Black boots

hey guys, so i have the newest lp bootloader, i installed microkat for testing purposes, then i saw blisspop v3.0 is out, then i downloaded, flashed and it was well over 20 minutes, so i pressed and held power button to get out of the stuck flash process, and then when i go to do power button + vol down to get into recovery it just powers off the device, i do have a low battery, and alot of the fastboot stuffs say low battery, so i left it to charge then i flashed this all + twrp 2.8.6.0:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/bootloader-update-t3060007
and still whe ni try to enter recovery or factory reset from the menu it just powers off

7% won't do it. You don't have an old charger laying around? Even my Motorola Bluetooth charger will charge the moto. I've got 8 or 10 old chargers and only one of those won't work.

In the US Motorola warranty is void if u unlock the bootloader and root it...Which I have done...But when I needed a new screen (because of a bad pixel) they didn't care and got me a free replacement
Try calling Motorola and say "I was updating to lollipop (with 80% charge) and all of a sudden the phone went black ....Blame Motorola.....I used a similar excuse when I bricked my S3 and Samsung bought it....
Hope all goes well
