I tried to unlock the bootloader of w8 it is dated later than 11w29
because of what the thread in Everything X8/W8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590266
says
"NEW!!
This is now by far the easiest way to unlock your bootloaders!! And for phones with 11w29 and above, you have a greater chance of success!!!
Try it now!! ---HERE "

with the latest se tweaker tool.
I followed the guide and went through the process and the tweaker tool said succesfully unlocked bootloader.
but then, when I turned off the phone to check it on S1 it wouldnt go on flashmode nor power on and it wont charge as well.
Is there anyway that i could do?
It's maybe not bricked..
Take the battery out for a minute then reinsert and plug in charger..
Leave for 4hrs charging without touching the phone.. It might turn itself on..
have greater chance of success,doesnt mean its sure....but i agree that it is misleading...
its hard brick,send it to se repair shop or to the trash!
send it SE if u have warranty, otherwise take it to a phone repairing shop
Thank you for your replies.
I guess I'm gonna have to try first what CtrlAltDelIrl suggested, and if won't work then cause I am not under warranty anymore, I would have to take it to a repair shop like what the rest of you agreed on.
I just hope it wouldn't cost me much to have it repaired.

I brought the phone to the repair shop and they were able to revive it thru j-tag. It cost me Php 1,500 (35USD)
So Monivan you are not a dead meat, your aunt's phone is not for trash yet..

Hi
Is there anyway back for a hard bricked Galaxy Note mobile...ie. wont turn on, wont go to recovery and wont go to download mod.
oh and the computer wont recognise it. :crying::crying:
thanks
It might be useful to tell us how exactly you bricked it. What software you were running, what you were trying to accomplish and other pieces of information like that...
As mentioned on other post last hope is JIG only in situation you are having.

The rom that was on the phone i think was kingdroid-ics-notemania-edition
The rom i was installing was paranoid-note-v01
The kernal was franco.kernal-r5
It just stopped in the middle of install and switched off.
The problem is I bought it of ebay about 4 months ago so have no proof of purchase.
If i took it to samsung service would they repair if I was willing to pay.
regards
Why you not taking chance first with jig, now just buy jig, if that will bring you to download mode then still chance to put life to ur device is there, if that won't work then last chance is ssc.

Thank you again I have to order a jig from ebay which I will do monday
can you tell me if that wont work can samsung tell what I have done. That I have bricked it.
I know i should know more but i have learnt the lesson "not to touch again" if it ever works again.:crying:
Best regards and many thanks
Yes there may b chance they can repair even without cost, b'oz i still won't say it is bricked.
This may b soft brick.
Just you need is download mode, n i think you have mess up bootloader.

If the phone was soft brick would it not at least light up?
Hi guys,
My mobile fell in the ground somedays back and power button was not working from that day..So I went to LG service centre today,that guy told we cant fix this as some chip came out and told me to replace the motherboard.He told it will cost around Rs2,500(46.45$).When I asked him motherboard will cost faround Rs10000(185.8$) he told there is some discount for the motherboard.Can anyone confirm here whoever got a motherboard recently.
Thanks
First make confirm whether it is CHIP or MOTHERBOARD problem.
If it is CHIP prob, then go for to buy it.
If it is motherboard prob, waste to buy for with that much amount.
(Recently (my previous phone LG P500) got MOTHERBOARD changed, it cost 3,000)
But it seem 10000 is very high for LG optimus black, think once again.
It is better to you to buy LG Nexus 4 instead spending 10,000 on this motherboard (note that Nexus has no external memory)
I got quoted $280.50 AUD for my motherboard two weeks ago for to replace my motherboard for the crack as shown in my signature.

LGE replace the motherboard in some countries even if the phone is not in warranty anymore because they know that some series of P970 have the faulty motherboard.that's the whole "magic".
160eur for me when i bricked mine last year.
There were some tomorrow tutorials about recovering IMEI, search for them.
LG Optimus One P500 not detecting any network
Hi friends!
My LG P500 suddenly developed a problem that it does not register to any network and keeps showing a sim icon with a red exclamation sign on the notification bar. It is not taking any sim card. I showed it at local repair shops and all who checked it said that it is incorrigible.
I showed it at LG care. They have said that they would charge INR 2500 and take the older motherboard along with it. They are giving 3-month warranty.
Can anyone suggest what I should do or if there is a way to get it mended?

Sony told me they also can go by manufacturer date. And since the phone isn't even a year on the market yet and Sony offers 2 years warranty u should be able to sent it in for repair. At least in Germany it is like that.

Were you updated? If you were still on .350, maybe it SOD'd
Btw, why would you buy the phone W/O Warranty?
Sony offers 2 years warranty, so whereever you bought it - hustled you and hustled you good.
I got it as a present and I must have thrown the receipt for it but no biggie since I am already in Sonys system and still have a year and 10 months warranty in it even without the receipt because they go by the date of manufacturing. What makes sense because u can see when it was made and if it isn't over Sonys warranty then that isn't an issue.

Speakers work but they stop after 5 mimutes then ipress volume up button them they start working again. Can any body tell me what exactli is wrong with my XZ ?? Is is the software or hardware.. I think its hardware. I want some good suggestions on what should i do. Thanks in advance guys.

Send it for repair. That is the only course of action for water damage if drying the phone out thoroughly hasn't worked.

Yes. As I recall from your previous thread about this, you powered the phone up after water got in, so it's highly likely that something is permanently damaged.

I doubt you would want to apy at the rates they charge. When I wanted to replace my screen on my arc they gave me a crazy estimate of over a £100. Just turn phone off open all flaps and leave it to dry for a few weeks.
