What happened with the phone? Have you tried any new thing (kernel, bootloader etc)? Or it just powered off itself? Don't you drobbed the phone (maybe into water etc)?
Sorry for the dumb questions but we should now how things went bad before we recommend a solution.

I was running pungus cm 10 rom in ICS bootloader, the night before the inident(when my phone does not power on../boot ) i flashed the MIUI 4 3.1.11 on ICS Bootloader by rugglez, played with it for few hours....but didnt like the speed and stebility of the rom...then tried to flash..JellyBam 4.1.0 by iGio90 ...but installation got aborted (reason 7 ...i guss), then I flashed back to Pengus CM 10 rom on ICS bootloader. the phone had a clean installation....i installed all my apps and synced the phone......all ready....in the morning I received one phone call too...then i went to sleep ...when i woke up ...found the phone hanged at the start of the camera app with screen bricked...i thought the phone somehow got activated with lockscreen camera shortcut and froze there for some reason.....I pulled out the battery ...and after putting the battery again ...i CAN'T TURN ON my phone.......and when i try to nvflash the phone ..it stucks at "waiting for bootloader to initialize" ...i tried different cables/ usb ports in my laptp and even changed laptop also...but same problem. Just don't understand what went wrong.
**ps, the phone was NOT heated when i found it freezed.
I hope i have explained my situation...thanks for hearing me out.
Even if you have tried I would suggest that you should use the all in one tool kit.....the amazing tool by my friend spyrosk...
Just try it one more time....with another usb port and or cable.don't forget to charge the battery too

Hi,
Tried to install Kingdroid 1.5 yesterday. since than I'm trying to fix my note with no success.
This is what I tried to do:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652831
I failed to do the following step:
-We went into recovery and install this kernel without leaving the recovery going to advanced and reboot in recovery
And the rom was not installed successfully.
because of panic, tried to restore my device to stock ICS from a previous backup - failed.
Tried another backup of GB - Failed.
Tried ODIN for Stock ICS and succeeded.
After success on this, tried restoring again to my previous backup, and since than I'm stuck on " factoryfs.img"
Tried Abd, but my device was not recognized on 3 Win machines and 1 linux box.
I have download mode available, and also recovery mode.
Currently, I'm bricked, thinking to take it to the shop I bought it at...
Any other Ideas?
Thanks a lot!

If you have download mode available, then you're not bricked, only soft-bricked perhaps.
Try flashing again with Odin...
From my knowledge, superbricks occur when wiping on an unsafe ICS kernel, such as old i9220 leak repack, LPY...

CM9 kernels, based on i9100 update 4 are safe. That makes official Cyanogen Mod 9 Nightlies and ROMs like Asylum and ParanoidAndroid safe
From his post I got that he was able to flash official ICS with Odin once, meaning it didn't get stuck at factory.fs...so...might be still hope
From what I get, we should add another one to the long list of hard bricks.

My Galaxy note is stuck on black screen no response from buttons just black screen.
This was after I did a wipe data and installed CM9 rom.
What options do I have, will one of these jtag dongles help me?
I just saw some ebay sellers offering an unbrick service for about £21 (im in the uk) where you post it to them to fix.
Any help appreciated

hy guys,
i have a problem.
i was on v28g first generation rom and today i tried to upgrade to second generation.
i nvflashed the second generation rom, the phone started, no problem. after a while, the phone freezes and i had to pull off the battery because the phone doesn't respond to any command.
since then my phone is dead, don't want to start, nothing.
i tried to nvflash the first and the second generation rom, but the process is stopping at "waiting for bootloader to initialize".
i tried to nvflash a froyo/gb rom but i had the same issue.
smartflash don't works
the pc don't recognize the phone
the phone is dead dead dead
any idea?
thanks
i'm not an expert, but i've been following the development since a while. you can try a few things...
1 - try to nvflash from another pc
2 - open the file as pc administrator
3 - nv flash an old gb rom
good luck
Did you try a hard rest? Usually it works...
i tried a hard reset (both methods) but the phone is dead, does not react.
O2 is literally unbrickable....

after connecting your phone in APX mode (battery out, hold both volume + and - then plug in USB) put battery in again and use nvflash.
My P990 has this problem too, need to put battery back in to use nvflash.
I've been through some similar experience after flashing v28 leak ICS.
I wanted to come back to CM7 or the stock LG ROM.
The only method that worked is this described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970979
It uses nvflash to flash an old version of LG stock ROM. After that you can update it however you want.
You will have to root your device again after this.

when you use nvflash the baterry must be pulled off, so i guess it has nothing to do.

man.. you "can't brick" your phone....it will always be able to get into nvflash mode.. and this is the way out.
Maybe your phone is tired of always reFLASHing. Give it a break perhaps

If you really did everything and in a right way, you can start to build a new house because you have the first brick already.But...it's not so easy to brick a phone with SFT.If you really followed the rules for Smart Flash Tool it's practically impossible.I know that people tend to panic in such situations and do something wrong in a rush.Well, take the battery, sim card and memory card out of the phone; hold the volume up button and then plug your usb cable( sure that cable and contacts are okay ), which is pluged in your computer with SFT opened; sometimes the phone enters in s/w mode in a second but sometimes needs five.Then flash a GB rom or anything you want.If nothing will happen is very much possible that you have a hardware problem( something similar happened to me when my motherboard was fu.ked and this is quite common with P970 ).Good luck.:fingers-crossed:
P.S. Are you talking about SE arc or LGE P970?

Well, the phone goes in bootloop when you flash patched files with recovery and then forget to flash Superuser.You must not boot your phone when it enters in recovery after flashing with SFT but flash Superuser from your SD card first.I think that this maybe was your first problem.But LG logo and flashing leds are also a very possible sign for a faulty motherboard.The same happened to me with one week old P970 with official firmware and not rooted, when I tried just to reboot the thing.And if your phone died after this, you can be 99.9% sure that you have a fu.ked motherboard.
Hello there,
I rooted my X3, unlocked bootloader, flashed CWM and Upgraded to V20A and everything was going great.. Till i decided to flash eternity kernel since people's feedback in their replies encouraged me to do so..
So i downloaded the eternity kernel version for stock rom, flashed it and it did 2 very bad things to my phone (i honestly don't know why this happened only to me.. No one reported such errors)..
First, i had boot loop stuck on the LG logo animation that kept repeating over and over - endless..
Then, when i tried to go to s/w mode (holding vol- while connecting the cable) i am getting white screen with tiny black lines! And the phone is not being detected by the computer (of course i have all drivers installed).
So i overcame the boot loop problem by flashing eternity kernel version for CM as well as the CM 10.1 nightly rom over CWM.. And am luckily able to boot and use the device..
I just still can't use kdz anymore cause of the s/w mode malfunction..
A friend suggested flashing the LG stock kernel.zip for V20A over CWM since i have it and since i didnt get the s/w mode error except after i installed the eternity kernel so he's linking the error with the kernel, could that be correct?
If it is correct, I'm not sure if stock kernel for V20A is compatible with CM 10.1 or will mess my phone even worse?..
Sorry for the long post but all what i need is to see my baby back in s/w mode so that i can use kdz
And in case i have to wait for the final kernel by eternity, is there any workaround to get it detected by the pc for kdz upgrades without going through the s/w mode?
Any help will be much appreciated!

This CRAP haha had this happend to me it is a fully bricked phone u could fix it up by opening the phone and connecting some testpoints when flashing (tutorial on miui forum).
I sent it to repair as this same thing happend to me basically the "memory block" got bricked.
You know its just not make sense, i used it normally, not even yet try to root or flashing something, its fully stock, upgrading once..i used it about 2months normal use, but suddenly facing this, come on ..
Well this is what happend when I upgraded my version of MIUI through fastboot. Not sure how u got this but that is what it means as I had this too.
Latest update i always done was an ota stable one and am sure that was recovery way
