Ok guys, I feel this is just the end of the games... I was flashing back the Roto JME fw with the swype keyboard issue fixed that I have just made, when I accidentally unplugged the tab while starting flashing and in downloading mode.
Now all I get is a logo with a phone an alert symbol and a computer .
Windows as well as Odin see it, but I can't do anything, as Odin hangs on waiting for connection, or something like that.
Is there anything I can do?? Or do I really have to take it to the warranty? And if I will have to take it to the warranty will they see I have previously flashed a beta rooted image on it??
Here's what I am talking about
Please I need some help..
Thanks
Is there no recovery mode by buttons like the captivate? I hate seeing all the bricks

then power it off
then put it into download mode again using power + volume down

I've heard plenty of goofy stories about bricking devices over the years. You must conclude the following:
1.Flash your device in a locked room to avoid your wife/ child pulling cables or pressing buttons.
2.Don't touch anything while you're flashing. This is why many people that could help you will ignore you after reading about 'accidentally disconnected' wires - they just assume you're a moron not worth helping.
3.Read instructions carefully and write the procedure out in your own words if its your first time.
I've been flashing for years and haven't had a brick yet. Not crossing my fingers either because it has little to do with luck and much to do with care. In this way its a lot like making babies...

Good advice.
My only semi-bricks (that involved an hour or two of trial and error to unbrick) resulted from some manner of overzealous cable unplugging.

Well, first of all thanks for ur nice words. Let me just say that I was about to disconnect another device from the hub where the GTAB was attached and flashing at that time, and yea, I accidentally unplugged the GTAB instead of the other device. I may be a moron, thanks, and thankfully not everyone believes themselves as god, which is a good reason to not help other people who are in troubles, even if for stupid things sometimes... If everyone were thinking like u we were probably still at the age of 1400 ...
Mate it wasn't a barb directed at you personally, but you weren't exactly careful were you?
I'm no god... but I've never bricked a device either, and I've been flashing for over five years now. To top it off I've almost never owned a device which could be taken back to the shop (90% of them come from other countries, not my local retailers). Perhaps this has taught me to be careful.
In any case, what I said holds true, and if you ask around I'm certain you find most will agree.
Dude, you have the best avatar! I can't keep my eyes away! Good luck, and don't worry about mistakes - that is one reason this forum exists.
Cannot start my Gtab after trying update JMC
...Hello everybody,
I am really worry about the fact my Gtab doesn't want to switch on after trying to flash it. I tried all process to put it on download mode or recovery but nothing work.
Do you have any idea about it ? Is there a specific procedure to switch on (eg : press power for 1 minutes + blablabla).
My provider doesn't want to take my Gtab in warenty before my contract is activated (the 4th of february).
Thank you for your answer

I also had a semi-bricked VZW Tab, with the phone-triangle-computer warning graphic at start up. (I flashed a new boot loader, and failed to read the instructions closely enough. Either the file was incorrect for my device, or the drivers were not loaded correctly, but my tablet was borked.)
Using heimdall 1.3.2 (with the correct drivers, on a 32-bit windows system), I clicked the "close pc screen" option to clear the warning.
I then held the power button until it turned off, then held vol+ and power to re-enter download mode. Once in download mode, I used heimdall 1.1.1 to flash the zImage from SCH-I800-Stock-Rooted-2.3.5. My tablet (still unrooted, and still stock?) booted, but sat at the SAMSUNG logo for ten minutes or more. (It announced its progress, telling me periodically "five minutes remaining", etc.)
Once it finished, my tablet was revived. I will now follow the above advice and read all instructions very carefully, re-writing them in my own words to ensure I understand what I'm doing, before I try this again.
One year old thread......do you guys ever watch posting dates???

...like REALLY bricked
bumping this old thread in hopes that someone can point me in the right direction...
Got my p7510 (10.1" wifi retail) stuck pretty badly when trying to restore stock ROM coming from Overcome (it came rooted from ebay). From what I gather from the forums, seems like my bootloader is still locked.
whenever I attempt to flash a BOOTLOADER, PIT, or PDA using ODIN it connects, initializes, and gets stuck on "Flashing boot.img"
I think the recovery partition is damaged. When I boot using Power + Volume Down, I can get to the screen where you select recovery mode or download mode but recovery mode will not load. The screen flickers when I select recovery, but goes nowhere. Download mode works.
I tried using nvflash to force the right software onto it but I get error 0x4 (usb write failed).
There has to be a way to restore the stock bootloader and get this thing running again. Tablet will not boot android at this point. I have been searching the forums for about a week now, anyone have any ideas?
Please take in mind that i am 18, and that i might not understand technical terms..
So i am one to like to try different kinds of custom ROMS on my captivate because, quite frankly, the stock ROM is terrible. Last year i flashed Cognition V.2 but i eventually got tired of it, so i switched to Cappy's GingerBread ROM, but did not like how much battery life it used. SO seeing that Cognition had come out with V.3 a couple weeks later, i decided to try and flash that ROM. And this is where the problems began...
AS you might know, the most common way to flash roms is to use ROM manager, and when i transferred the file to my phone and selected "Install ROM from SD card." Normally the phone would restart and then go into recovery mode..that did not happen. It just stayed on the ATT start up screen. So i reluctantly pulled out the battery after waiting on it for an hour.
This is when i realized that i could not enter recovery mode at all! ive tried the volume button trick along with trying apps that send your phone directly into recovery mode..oh and i also tried using terminal emulator and sending a command to my phone to reboot into recovery mode, THAT did not work.
So after that I decided as a somewhat last resort, i tried the hard reset, (where you dial a number in and it factory resets your phone.) Which was appearantly was the worst idea i could have ever done because now when i boot up my phone it will get past the ATT screen but now my lock screen will randomly turn on and off by itself, like i cannot unlock it, the screen will repeatedly turn itself on...then off every 5 or so seconds.
I am so confused on what i am to do, and im sorta stressing out about this point in time. So please if one of you educated forum readers know how to fix my terrible mistakes, the help would be EXTREMELY appreciated.
Thank you

I'm noticing a trend of people telling people that don't know what they are doing to use Odin 1 click without ever even asking what build there phone is. Please stop. For some people it has the potential to put them in an even worse situation then they were when they first asked for help.

look for odin one click with the 3button fix, get virtual box or boot camp, get windows 7 preferably but xp is ok, get drivers, add the phone in donwload mode to the device list on the virtual machine and then you should be able to odin flash from the virtual mache. i have done it in linux but i have also had problems getting it to mount the phone in the virtual machine with a different linux install, i still dont know what the problem was or if you will have problems on the mac.

Your only 18, with your music taste I figured you were mid thirties
basically, before you guys judge, why would i need a pattern bypass, let me get through the story.
Basically, my tenant couldnt pay her rent, so she decided to give me half and leave. when she left, she also left her dell streak. i gave her a call and she told me i can just have it. when i tried to turn it on, it wouldnt so i charged it. waited a while, say 6 hours, then when i got back to it, there was a pattern lock. called her again but unfortunately, her cell phone line got deactivated. its been 2 days, and ive been trying but no luck.
basically, i just need a program, software, anything? lol. to bypass this because i want to sell it, or maybe try to fall in love with it
*things i have tried*
[1.] Vol up + Power
~brings me to (stock??) recovery (im guessing?) with 5 choices.
0. Boot Up
1. Factory reset (User data only)
2. Software upgrade via update.pkg on SD card
3. Factory reset (User data and Internal Tablet storage)
4. Power off
~Chose #1 which failed
~Chose #3 also failed
both booted up perfectly and still showed the pattern unlock screen.
[2.] Followed a guide
~i basically treated the streak like it was bricked, so i fallowed a guide from illdill (sorry i forgot the link) but it was something related to nvflash and using it to flash images 2-21 on the dell streak 7.
~this method also failed, and also booted up perfectly.
*[3.] Try to put HoneyStreak RC 2.1*
~i get the error "Formatting partition 2 BCT please wait.. FAILED!"
idk what i means but all i know is that when i used the search button, i guess peoples who ask about it and have trouble about it, they get ignored. they try to bump, but yet no response. I read from post 427 to almost 560. none was answered. if there is a way out there. please help me ;(
only 2 methods i tried. anyone else? thanks in advance xda users. quick responses that arent usually nonsense gets a thank button clicked from me

Try flashing Honeystreak (it completely erases the internal memory since it needs to repartition it) if you like Honeystreak, keep it, if you want stock, flash back. Hopefully that will work.

thanks for quick response, ill try and see, most of the things im reading are, i have to atleast have CWR. which i highly doubt she has. when i tried to explain to her what "rooting" means, lets just say she wasnt interested at all.
unfortunately, it didnt work. somethings about "Formatting partition 2 BCT please wait.. FAILED!" and doesnt go through, that makes method 3 = failed. unless someone out there has a different suggestion?
thanks in advance
Uh...it failed to format the partition? I don't think I've ever seen that happen.
I know this will sound stupid, since you are probably in the right forum, but where you said "streak" are you sure it was the 7 inch and not the 5? Also, you said you got into recovery by volume UP and power, but I think volume DOWN and power is stock recovery...maybe it had CWM installed by someone who has used it before? (the options sound like CWM) and in that case, someone may have changed something. Again, I'm shooting in the dark, but if it is a streak 5, or if it has CWM, it would be different than just a stock Streak 7 on the lockscreen. The streak 5 and 7 are not just different sizes of the same device - they run on a different chipset. The 5 has a snapdragon (I believe) and the 7 has a Tegra 2.
EDIT: You said Streak 7 in the title, so...I'm pretty sure you know it's a 7. In that case, I don't know why it won't flash :-/

ahhh, thank you. first off, the partition, basically it looks like this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15109690&postcount=425). i have no idea why it fails.
the only ways i could tell it "might be" a streak 7 is....
stock, Volume Up+Power is stock recovery menu. Volume Down+power is USB Fastboot. Has red letters as well.
now. is there anything visible or any button power combo where i would be able to find out if this was a dell streak 5 or 7? sorry for the nweb question.
*fyi, i know how CMW looks like, i have owned many android devices and... lets just say trust me... the Volume Up+Power looks like stock recovery and the only reason i say this is because it has 5 options, and 2 of them are Factory Reset.
Thanks again for quick response!
Other than the screen size, the capacitive buttons are layed out differently. On the streak 5, they are equally spaced, wheras the Streak 7 has them placed so that in landscape, they would all be under your thumb. The Streak 5 also has a removable battery, and the Streak 7 does not. If you check the back and it is smooth with a removable battery, it's a 5. If it is lightly textured without a removable battery, it is a 7.
Hope this helps
EDIT: And as far as the partition, I still don't know what would cause the problem. It might be best to ask someone with more NVFlash experience than me

perfect bluesy_92. you've helped me so much already even thought my dell streak is still "unable to be used" now im for sure guarenteed this is a dell streak 7 (lol) since there is no removable battery and the c buttons are right under my thumb landscape wise.
as for the partition, would you help me figure out? ill sorta spam (not really) on the development thread for anyone who has nvflash experience to help me out with my streak.
as for others who click on this thread and do read and by any chance know any nvflash experience. please do help and just jump right in. thanks so much XDA community providers lets see if we can get through a bypass.
as of things to try
as of things to try in the morning when i wake up for work
the only thing im missing now is my adapter for my miniSD card to stick it in my streak and do the update.pkg file from the stock recovery menu. idk if it will bring me far because at work, i have internet access all day via phone (htc sensation) and i can try to keep update with my xda app but i have no desktop whatsoever.

Well, I've heard of people getting devices that are locked in read-only, basically making them unable to be flashed. The fact that nothing is working scares me that this may be the case, but at the same time, I never experienced it, so I definately can't be sure. Someone who has may be able to tell you if you're stuck. If it is read-only, your only hope is Dell by that point :-/
That's the first thing I think you should find out. Because if it is locked in read-only, your case is pretty much closed at that point (and not in a good way, unless Dell helps you.) If you find out it's not, then I would try to figure out why Honeystreak isn't flashing properly.
You can try update.pkg - everything is worth a shot, but unlike flashing Honeystreak, I think it won't repartition or anything (updating through a .pkg is the way manufacturers release updates - it was not designed to be harmful to the users data, afaik) so that's not exactly a sure-thing. Don't let that stop you from trying it, though - when something can't be used at all, any idea is a good idea

well, im not really trying to flash anything, i dont even care if its rooted or not, i just want it to be working basically. so my son can watch his elmo while i play my game or update my roms or watch my movies without him whining anything just to make it stock perfect again and this bypass to go through >__<"
What happened when you tried nvflash ?
Did it push all of the partitions properly ?
Are you sure you had it in apx mode ?
I just recovered mine from a honeystreak flash and nvflash rewrites all partitions. Then try to fastboot push the system / recovery images.. After that you should be able to use cwm via fastboot to write a new rom ( I went back to streakdroid 1.3 ).
Just put the image file into your fastboot directory and boot it from your computers hard drive ( fastboot boot cwm.img )

when you double click download.bat, after the img file 14 or 15 goes through, does your command screen suddenly disappear? whats your next step through that?
I flashed using these partition images ( Not the ones in the initial NVflash post) Maybe your image files were corrupted on download. Im glad someone uploaded them in 1 rar to ensure a clean set
Id start over from scratch by using this rar as your c:\Nvflash directory
http://www.multiupload.com/OM0VO9HBO9
See if those make a difference. After Nvflash completes the box will close, its normal. Use the pinhole to reset. From there I just used fastboot ( vol down and power ) to boot into cwm ( i can dropbox the image if you need it ). The command is : fastboot boot cwmimagename.img
from there you can format data/cache/system/dalvik/storage ( mine came back with an error not being able to format a few but try it anyway)
Mount SD card and copy something like the streakdroid zip to it. Using CWM's menus, install a zip from SDcard and choose it. It should run w/o error.
I had the Dell logo only stuck on boot after that , so I went into recovery and formatted user data only . From there it booted right up.
When you boot your streak, does it still boot into the original rom or does it just freeze on the Dell logo?

sorry for the late reply, i just barely got home from work. i just bought myself a 2 gig micro sd card, and the adapter to stick the micro sd card in the bigger sd card. im going to try the update.pkg. unfortunate of me, i tried to do it right away but its low battery just my luck. charging the streak 7 right now.

not even, it would boot original rom with the users data still enabled. (the reason i say this is because, the pattern lock is still there) even when i tried the nvflash, it would boot right up to the pattern lock and with the same background she always had.
idea
since i now have an sd card, im going to try the "Restore your DS7" but the only thing thats stopping me is that it requires CWR which i dont have. ill try to work around it since my DS7 is recognized by fastboot and ADB. Also wanted to add another misfortune of mine, she does have debug mode on but fastboot should work rather than ADB. wish me luck.
if anyone has any other suggestions or ideas, please budge in. i dont mind at all. thanks for the help all!

failed aswell, after double clicking restore.bat, i let it do its own thing, after it pushes p14.img file, it closes the command box right away, so i used an earring to turn off the device, unplugged from the usb, and yet, it still loads up pefectly with the same wallpaper and still the pattern lock... ughh, this is really frustrating!! ;'(
im trying one last step, before i call dell... (i dont even know if they'll replace this since im not the owner or the buyer of the product. unless they will? let me know)
my last step im taking is, im gonna use nvflash again, but this time im gonna use the WIFI DS7 partitions. hopefully it works. please almight lord! *sniff* begging. wish me luck. ill update
and as you already know what im going to say next, if anyone out there has any suggestions, ideas or plans. please help me out. might help others out in the community. thanks so much in advance
Right guys, i know youve read this alot. and i know your thinking i should have searched the threads for a sulotion, but belive me i have, for days.
heres my problem, i was flasing the leaked ics onto my p990. whilst flashing, my laptop ran out of battery and didnt give me any warning atall. and as a result of that, i now have i belive a bricked p990. this is the rom i was flashing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926700
right now i know i should be able to recover my phone as i can connect my phone and it recognises it as apx driver, but the trouble is i can put in updating mode. ( vol down and then inserting usb) i plug in the usb without the battery inserted and without pushing any buttons and it still recognises it as an apx device, knowing this, ive tried nvflash and smart flash but both have no effect and dont recognise my phone. i will add that the version of ics that is currently out leaked. is very smooth, unfortunately bluetooth pairing doesnt work properly and wifi is a bit weak, but theres a fix for that.
i have tried flashing a cwm but to no succes. i do know some things in android flashing and repairs, but admittidly not everything so im not a complete noob.
id very much apreciate it if anyone could help me.
youll have to excuse any typing mistakes. the resolution on the tv isnt that great from a laptop hdmi out. sorry guys.
but yes any help is much appreciated.
thanks in advance guys

well, windows MUST recognize the o2x as an apx device since you would use the tegra apx applications processors...
you are saying that windows sees your o2x as an apx device but nv/smart-flash don't?

Nvflash should do the trick. Follow the instructions carefully and you'll be back up in no time.

So here is what I know, an attempt was made to update my G2 by someone other than myself. It now has a black screen and no recovery, it has also been attempted to be repaired by the same person. My pc no longer sees my phone, no download mode or anything else. Is there any hope for this device?
Well, any thoughts from the vast knowledge pooled on here?

Downlad and run SRKtool_2.1_droidth with the correct drives.. All will be well again..
tried the srktool, no drives detected. the qhsusb_bulk driver loads so it does see something......

When you start it pick #4 fixed then #5 unbrick.. You must have had USB Debugging mode Enable prior to bricking.. Also check device manager in windows and check ports.. Will try to help you the best I can, had the same issue 3 days after getting the phone.. If you get it to work after use th Lg program and do fix phone or you will have a lot of issues.
No JOY,

The problem I'm running into is there isn't a bunch of disks shown, only the fixed disks in my comp. So nothing is being seen or they are not there to see.

That is what should happen.. You need the qhsusb QUALCOMM DRIVER..
it is seen as that and on com 7, tried the srktool, no drives detected. the qhsusb_bulk driver loads so it does see something......
Well, I guess it's dead if no one else has any suggestions....... what a shame I really liked this device.

I have the VS980 (Verizon version) and I was completely...and I mean completely dead (due to my own mistake) , no charge, no power, no download mode, no led, nothing at all. I had a full on 100% brick sitting on my desk. BUT.....I went here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404 and was able to bring it back to life. Now yes you do have to open the device and mess with inside parts but i was able to get mine going. The guide here is for the other models (specifically not the vs980) but I was able to finagle the inside parts to make it work the way I needed to. From there I was able to boot back up and i flashed all the way back to 10B and just OTA back up to lollipop and root again and install TWRP and I'm back up to where I was a few weeks ago, of course I lost everything (texts,photos) in the process but I am back up and running and I am happy I was able to pull that off thanks to the great folks who figure all this stuff up for us.
So I would say go for it and try it, or if not I could do it for you, and if not I'm am surely positive that someone here can help you figure it out with your current situation. Cheers.
PS, if you dont want to mess with it, just let me have it LOL!
