Sorry but I think your phone is bricked =[ Try calling T-mobile and tell them you dropped your phone and broke it. (You might actually want to do this, lol) They'll send you a replacement if you still have the warranty

thanks you for your rapid ask, but i sure , exist a solution for the brick.
my phoneis not guaranteed because I bought it used
SNIFFF
There's no current solution for a brick. A brick is a brick and you're done. Sorry
I had the same issued as you are having i was also stuck on the t-mobile logo screen because of the radio update, and yes my phone got brick. but since i had insurance on the phone i took it to my local t-mobile made up some excuse that my phone stop working and they gave me a brand new one in store for free. gotta love the extra at 5 dollars you pay for insurance saved me from buying a new one lol.
Yup, you've got a brick. Most common brick actually, downgrading radio 9/10 times seems to leed to a brick. Currently there are no working fixes. There are rumors that either a serial->USB cable might help fix a brick or wiring up a jtag setup. There's info about both on the interwebs but neither has been proven to work on the dream yet afaik.
Here is my question. What were you doing before the brick happened? By chance did you install the special spl?

This is horeible advice you never want to tell them you droped the phone, that's not covered under warranty. Just tell them the phone won't boot. But yeah sound like your phone is fubar.

How is it bad advice? Hardware problems are covered by warranty, software are not. the brick is a SOFTWARE problem. T-Mobile does not give replacement g1s that are screwed up because of something you installed that wasn't issued by T-Mobile themself. If you tell them you dropped it , its a HARDWARE problem and they provide replacements...

Telling them you dropped the phone and it no longer boots is your problem and they will say so. "Was it working before you dropped it?" Yes it was "Then it soulds like when "YOU" dropped the phone you messed it up" Hope you have the phone insurance that's the only way you are most likely going to get a new one but it's going to cost you.
While it's a software problem if you drop the phone and break it they do not have to replace it.

Oh god, fine then. You come up with a better story and post back I don't understand your last sentence...In the official tmobile g1 forums they state that they are not responsible for anything you do software wise to your phone ( root, ROMs, spl, brick, etc..)

simple The OTA got to you for cupcake and you went to install it when the phone rebooted it was stuck at the G1 screen. they will walk you through a few steps and confirm it's messed up. At that point they will send you out a replacement. You do not have to say anything about it being rooted. I just did this for my friends moms phone. He messed it up I called and got her a replacement sent. Now if you are not a T-mo customer you are out of luck though which sucks :/
Hell I had to do this for 2 phones. 1 G1 and 1 Shadow this past week (both phones were modded by me/friend) Shadow was a true hardware issue though and not the mods fault though.
just tell them your phone wont boot up if you cant get to recovery or android screen neither can they on your phone so they will never know what u did to it

Lol okay then. Still think that if you report a hardware issue like you broke it, T-Mobile will still replace it as long as you still have the 1 year warranty that came with it. Like Cyanogen's issue where his touchscreen was messedup. HARDWAREE issue and T-Mobile replaced it

I work for T-mobile and telling them you broke the hardware on the phone is NOT covered under warranty. The manufacture's warranty only covers phone defects not people dropping their phone. A touch screen going out is an example of hardware covered under warranty. Software is covered under warranty as well and all you have to say is the phone won't boot past the G1 screen. Thats all you have to say.
All right. I rest my case then O mighty T-Mobile worker. No sarcasm haha.
Yeah its true, you do have to be careful if you plan on using the warranty route if its not totally legit, but then I suppose it differs depending on region. Over here in the UK it covers quite a few things like accidental dropping of the mobile, water damage etc. Which reminds me, I need to add my mobile to my monthly insurance policy...
The insurance isn't really worth it =/ Even if you claim it you still have to pay 130$ here in NY
Blimey... I pay £6/m (thanks to my credit card policies) instead of the usual £9/m that covers the mobile phone over accidental damage, theft, water damage, software damage etc. However if I do make a claim I think its £30-£40 for a replacement G1.
HELP! Is my g1 bricked?
After reading a few other thread I believe my g1 is bricked.
I was trying to install Superhero G3. After installing the radio provided in this thread:
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f56/official-hero-g3-build-rom-18471/
My phone hung at the T-Mobile g1 boot logo.
I can't get into recovery or anything.
I bought the phone from craigslist, so I don't have a warranty or anything. My parents would kill me if they found out I have to buy myself a new phone.
PLEASE I hope there is something I can do to fix this.
Well, I guess is not so ethical what Im going to ask...
But, last mont my phone touchscreen stopped responding, going to service, 15 days without phone, phone working fine again.
After less than a week, touchscreen stop working again, back to service, phone working again.
What happen yesterday? touchscreen isnt working again
I wont deal with an obviously faulty phone again.
So, I want to kill it completely. I dont know if there is a way to kill even fastboot, but if anyone can help me, It will be great. Looks like it's the only way to get a proper replacement from moto
Doesn't sound like a good idea, , They'll proooooobably know if you been messing with it.

So don't... Tell them what kind of hassle you've already been through and that you want a replacement. If you have insurance, break the screen. Usually they don't ask what happened but if they do tell them your a contractor and you were doing some heavy lifting and it broke in your pocket.
Thanks for your answers.
Im not in the US. Here moto can hold your phone in repair for a maximum of 3 months
They dont care if you are dealing with service for the second or third time.
I guess I´ll use the hard way. It wont be so difficult
A buddy at work is a real phone whore and like to get a new one every few month. he takes a car battery and 2 wires and touches the battery contacts on the phone to fry the board.
Just touch it for a second or you'll get burn marks. Phone will be DEAD and there is no way for them to tell you did it...

crispy Droid 3 ..
here in mexico, my mom had a motorola cliq that had problems with the board (it crashed even after wipe without modding) sent it back returned (they just reflashed it) happened again and sent it back and they just reflashed it. this time i rooted and updated firmware. but anyway it failed again. sent it back (with sbf of original ) the they just re flashed the unit..
one more time it went back and for the most time (3 weeks ) it was well
on every call to support i told them that the problem was the board in the phone.
one fourth time sent it back and finally got the board replaced ... (this time imei was different but housing was the same.
i was very happy until i noted they closed the phone housing badly wrong .. but it was working. then it failed again but this time it was a new error. keyboard lights died because of a FRIED Sensor. but it was working.
but as using it at night was impossible. i returned it and as i had sent it back so many times they changed my phone (my mom didnt want another Motorola for now) for a Nokia N97 (i'm talking 2 years ago when android wasn't as popular as it is today.
today. my mom still has that phone. always trustworthy Nokia phone.
anyway wht im saying is that keep sending it back until they change at least the board or the screen.. but well
have you tried reflashing?
Hello. Sorry for my english.
I've been living on the edge, like many of us LOL, and i finally got hard bricked. No battery charge, logo, download mode. Nothing. Just a black screen.
I was using ICS stunner 1.4.26 and decided to flash Catastrophic Meltdown 9 (CM9 for friends). The problems was that my battery died when it was installing the kernel, or the boot, i dont know.
So, i have been reading a lot those days but nothing seems to work. I have ordered a Jig but i think is not going to work. Yesterday i used windows, and something was detected when i plugged in the usb, but Odin not.Today it does not work, and windows doesnt play any sound. Any idea? A Jag?
I should say this is the best mobile phone i have ever touched. I would be eternal grateful with all of you if we could fix this mess. I was aware that there were risks. Im aware now maybe i cant fixit and im not gonna blame anyone because it was my responsability, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Same thing happened to me, nothing worked (tried the JIG). I had to send it in for repair, but they didn't see that it was my fault (still had warranty).

From my experience the only way u can get ur phone back in service is go to ssc and make some reasonable reason why ur phone is dead, so u can still claim for warranty and I am sure they will replace ur engine/mobo like my friends did a month ago.

It has nothing to do with your battery dying and everything with trying to flash CM9 directly from super-dangerous LP5 or LP6 leak ICS kernel.
No jig or JTag will revive your phone now.
However, if your Note refuses to go into download or recovery mode, you are in luck - if you have a warranty, that is. Just take your phone to the service center and tell them that it died when updating via Kies. There is no way for them to tell what had really happened and they will have to replace your motherboard free of charge.
Sadly, jig didnt solve the problem. Battery isnt hot when plugged in, is my motherboard fried by flashing the note?
Could a jtag solve the problem?
Try to take it back in for warranty before attempting a JTAG and voiding the warranty (that they can tell)

Yeah, that's a classic superbrick, need replacement mobo. Sorry dude. As mentioned just say you were updating ics ota or through kies.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I got the same problem few days back..I went to service center and said that i got an ota update and after downloading had completed,it started rebooting and there i got some errors and finally my phone is dead
They were unable to find the exact reason why it got bricked as it was unable to enter download or recovery mode
So they replaced the motherboard under warrenty
Better this it once
All the best :good:
I dont think that warranty thing is gonna work, because i have lost some inside cover screws... yeah, thats a long story trying to fix it. If i borrow a motherboard... could i recover my data? because thats all i want at the moment. Or, is there any website where i can buy it? Otherwise, im going to try it with the warranty...

I just came back from the service center and they are covering it under warranty . Similar symptoms and they are going to replace the whole board. Just take it to the service center and say "Yo man your **** died on it own" :fingers-crossed:

Hello All,
My OB is bricked, i was flashing it with smartflash tool and installing official lg optimus gb image, but suddenly it was bricked. Now it is not starting, not even in download mode, no signal of power.
Any ideas?
It caused bcoz of loose cable connection.
While flashing any ROM, cable should have intact connectivity..

Probably a hard brick, bring it to a lg service center. Tell them you tried to update your phone and all of a sudden the update stopped and now it doesnt react anymore.

In case of hard rest, as N00BY0815 said, only way is to take the phone to LG service center, but you have to take precaution regarding:
Take out the memory card and keep at ur home, in case you rooted the phone, otherwise they will know that U rooted the phone and reject the warranty.
i dont think rooting is against warranty everywhere does your pc recognises it when you plug it in while holding p
volume+ ?

He already said, it doesnt even turn on in download mode, so there is no chance to revive it. LG will not know, if it was rooted or not, since noone can turn it on and check it. So just do what i told you above and everything should be good again

This is software error not hardware error. They can't charge you buying new free software.
If its hardware error, in this case, then the problem is not caused by the root and they can't reject warrenty (at least in Europe, I'm pretty sure in most places they'll get away with it.)
EDIT
@Nooby
If they can't access it through new bootloader they have to use JTAG equipement and then you can read and write to flash memory.

I have not much knowledge like xonar and N00BY0815,
Maybe they used JTAG or something ..bcoz at first they try to know whether it is rooted and non-rooted to get reject the phone here.
At that time, I contacted the most senior developers here in XDA, they also suggested that there is nothing to do if the phone is not turning on, & take it to service center...(the case is of LG P500)
That's strange. When I hard bricked mine, they kept my phone 3 weeks to finally say that it was the motherboard which died (I flashed a P990 rom by mistakes, it was for a friend but I forgot it in my sdcard).

11 days ago i installed cm10 nightly 11-14-12 after using the rom about 4 days, suddenly while charging my phone turn off and didn't turn on again. It can't enter sw upgrade. When i send it to the lg service center they said that it was a motherboard problem and need to replace it. It cause P9,000 (about $214). What the F**K! The brand new Optimus black here cause around P13,000 ($309). My warranty is already expired so i decided not to replace the motherboard and wait for the release of nexus 4 here in my country.
That time i'm using blackberry charger 5v output. Do you guys think that the hardbricked has also something related to the charger?
hi i want to see if i can get some help i was using my galaxy s6 and all the sudden it stop reading my sim card after looking i saw that my imei was not showing on settings and when i press *#06# it shows imei null i try to wipe the cache and did a reset on the phone but it still the same i download the md5 file install it with odin and is still the same my phone is sm-g920A my android version is 5.0.2 it wont show the baseband version any help is appreciated
This happened to me on Day 2 of owning the phone. I got the phone a week early when AT&T shipped out pre-orders really early, and had a hard time getting a replacement since the phone wasn't out yet. It is a huge defect with the phone. You'll have to get a replacement.
