[Q] is this what a bricked p970 looks like?

Hi,after getting caught in a clockworkmod bootloop i thought id try reflashing.
But after many many many attempts including using the Lg recovery im still stuck on this screen.
Sorry the picture isnt very clear,but to me it looks like boot info.And the phone just gets stuck on this screen after every attempted flash.
No one else seems to have had this specific problem (yet).
Which make me wonder if this is really well and truly bricked.
Sorry couldnt add the picture,not enough posts.But after any flash i do,the phone reboots and i just get a blue screen full of green writing.
I was still caught in bootloops after the emergency LG firmware flash, I sent my phone back to Europe for repair because there is no support for the phone here in the US
When. I bricked my phone, it show a black screen with 4 keys keep brinking

Can I go to CWM recovery from Nova and flash SelfKANG after wiping data (since I already have CWM from rooting/flashing Nova)? I just noticed that a Nandroid Backup is recommended as per arcee's instructions... is that the same as the Titanium Backup thingy? Help will be very much appreciated! Thank you very much!

Yes you can. Boot to recovery. Wipe data & cache partition then flash cm7.
Nandroid is much like titanium but more stable

I downloaded the apk 3 times from 3 diferent sources, but it still doesn't work... I even flashed SK4 3 times also, same procedure, still, the Market doesn't work.
I hope u can help me...

New Experience Rom not booting

Hello XDA,
I just registered, and I know that I have to search first. But the New Experience thread has like 117 pages, I don't exactly remember.
So that isn't quite gonna work.
Here's my problem:
I followed the instructions to install, but my phone is not booting, it shows: INDONESIA CYANMOBILE SQUADZONE
Sometimes the screen goes black, then I press the power button and it turns back on.
Does anybody have an idea of what I have done wrong? I installed a new rom before but I did that using ODIN and stuff..
I installed this rom from 2.3.6 for Galaxy Mini.
Thanks in advance,
Sanderth.
EDIT: I restarted the phone, it showed the logo of New Experience and did the same thing as before. Then I wiped everything again.. Still waiting for it to boot, should take 10 minutes but I don't think it will work this time..

You have to wipe data+cache+dalvik cache in CWM recovery before and after install rom to be on the safe side!

Well I back upped too... But it wouldn't boot, that's why I decided to flash a new stock rom, I wanted a clean phone anyways
Well my phone just booted again, I've got my stock Android back. I will wait flashing to 2.3.6 since I really want another ROM... Flashing to 2.3.6 is useless if I'm gonna flash it to another anyways.. Can anybody recommend a good ROM for Galaxy Mini?

You can try a wipe data in recovery, if it works (power button +volume up + home when the phone is off)
Okay do what the guy above said,
1. Get into Recovery Mode(Volume up + Power Button)
2. Wipe data and cache
Please reply if anything happens.

Its beacause of oxidation in usb cable that has on it speaker and power button,33 euros to fix even with root,go fix when u have the money,and avoid water when it rains,and use wifi sharing apps so that usb doesnt brake again.USBcable in p970 is problematic i guess.
I have the same problem , i tried to flash CM10.1 from ICS and my phone bricked . When i try to flash stock rom with smart flash tool the phone is not recognized , when i'm in s/w upgrade mode. do you think is a hardware problem ?

I think my problem is because of drops. I dropped this phone like 100 times. Still good. But yeah. Power button dead. Cannot connect as mass storage. Or anything else. But i can charge.

Squeeze the phone hard beside the camera and see if the button works while doing this. Basically squeeze where the USB port is.
