[Q] Optimus black stuck on firmware update screen

The story so far...
Bought a new Optimus Black and gave it to my girlfriend for her birthday a couple of days ago. After playing with it for about an hour she put it down, I picked it up and decided to have a tinker. I installed Cyanogen mod 3.5.1 after rooting it with Gingerbreak. So far so good but I didn't really like the look of the ROM and the absence of a Market seemed like hassle so I used ClockworkMod to restore the backed up stock ROM.
It's still working fine but now I see there is an official update from inside the phone. I presume it's the upgrade to Android 2.3 so run it and reboot the phone. That's when it all goes wrong. I'm now stuck in the CWM recovery screen. I try all the options, following any online guides I can find that were supposed to have worked for people. I try restoring the backup, restoring cyanogen, clearing the cache, dalvik, everything but nothing happens and I keep booting back into the CWM recovery screen.
Next day I try the LGUnitedMobileDriver and the phone recovery option but despite trying several times I can get no further. A friend tried to use Odin to restore it but got no success. Finally, we tried restoring with a KDZ file with
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN, Windows Enabler and LG B2CTool and now the phone got stuck in yet another loop - a black screen with 'updating firmware'. The LEDs flash for a minute and it reboots and does the same again.
What's more, the phone will now no longer charge or turn on without being connected to the mains.
What are my options here?

Follow the tutorial given below.

Thanks, but I've already tried that and it doesn't work. I'm forever stuck in the firmware update screen.

have you tried the CS_EMERGENCY option in R&D TOOLS? Wait I'll find the link..

The CS_EMERGENCY is the only thing worked, he used a german V10A ROM. If you managed to unbrick it, you can flash it again with your desired KDZ, or use CS_EMERGENCY and flash directly your desired KDZ. TRIAL AND ERROR.

Emergency c-section... nope, I will try that now!

Said that it will get stuck at 4% but it is still flashing. Just wait for the phone to reboot by itself.

It just crashes with a fatal error as soon as it gets to the second tab (downloading) on both PCs I tried it on. I tried several KDZ files with the same result.

Does anyone know if it's possible to physically change the ROM on this phone and if it would be worth trying that before binning the thing?

Does it have warranty? Why not RMA it, I think it has a hardware problem now since you mentioned it doesn't charge anymore. Also, have you tried a different USB cable?

The warranty gets voided as soon as you root or mod a phone and it's probably as expensive to get it fixed outside of warranty as to buy a new one.

Most of the time they change the board right away if it can't boot (as many as I've read) board was changed and none just revived the OS. So they won't know you rooted it. Just specify that they should contact you first before making any changes.

true.. you can just tell them that you received an update and upon getting it the phone wont boot anymore.. just dont tell them that you rooted it or tinkered it in any way.. i'm sure you'll be able to get your warranty that way..

[Q] Xperia X8 brick?

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to fix my phone for 2 days still no success.
My problem is:
When i turn on the phone it does nothing,only the screen lights up for like 2-3 seconds after that it turns off.
It keeps doing it again and again until I take out the battery.
It cant even show the sony ericcson logo.
Battery works i tried it with another phone!
PHONE WASNT ROOTED OR FLASHED OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT
Solutions i tried :
Sony ericcson update service - no use
Flashing original firmware with flashtool - no use (btw flash mode works as long the flashing process works like charm)
Hope someone can help me out because there is no more warranty for the phone
Thanks in advance
Erik

Probably a hardware issue, I guess it is time for a new phone.

Thank you so much for replying.. Could you give me instructions on how to do that? Also where can I get the system files for my phone?

Kind of dissapointed that you created a thread, asked in multiple places, and PM'd me the same question/issue. Especially considering it was 4AM eastern time when you started asking... (non of us in the USA would have been on, or well, very very few would have been on)
For those watching... I've posted a few replies and suggestions after post 191 in this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/help-thread-moto-x-question-t3032022/page8

I know , I am sorry , i was just really freaked out .. please go ahead and delete the other thread. I apologize.
Thank you so much for your patience and help. I have tried unlocking the bootloader and flashing stock firmware (both were succesfull) but the problem still remains , it is stuck on the boot screen. (earlier at the MOTO M Logo and now at Warning Bootloader unlocked screen) . There are no service centers where I Live so I can't send it to a service center , is there any last resort methods I could try ? Once again , Sorry and Thank you.

Did you flash using RSDLite? That is the safest thing to do. Also, did you enable USB debugging and authorize your computer?
If not using RSD lite, how are you flashing back to stock?
Also, have you tried installing Motorola Device Manager and letting it repair your phone? You get into bootloader mode and then plug your phone into your computer and start MDM.

I've struggled with a similar issue on an XT1053, though mine already had an unlocked bootloader. Phone freaked out, shut down, and now crashes every time a few seconds after it gets to the blue logo., and goes into endless bootloops. Here for more detail -http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/boot-loop-puzzle-t3080565
Since I've flashed the stock images a couple of times (which seems to work, or at least shows no errors), I think it might be a hardware or battery issue. I'll try MDM, but am not especially optimistic.
Had you installed any new apps? I had been playing a new driving game on the day it crashed, though it might be coincidence.

Update Bricked my phone

Guys today i received an update for my MOTO G2 . During the installation of the update , my phone got stuck , and it went directly to start screen . It now goes no further than the big M screen at the start .
I've contacted motorola , tried reset , no help .
Guys please help me .

Can you get into bootloader mode

Same issue it seems
Hi there, same issue for me (133 mb update to fix stagefright apparently). I've carried out a factory reset via bootloader but it's still just stuck on the motorola boot screen. I have the dual sim version.

Always use warranty if you can ....
my (spare) bricked xt1068 tried a FASBOOT cable (hence no battery power required) and RSDlite 6.2.4 to try to FORCE flash a ROM .. NOT a solution

Solved
Guys a friend of mine solved the problem . He found the 5.0.2 stock rom for my phone and installed it in mine . This solved my problem . For others who had the same problem , I had XT1068 . The ROM installed correctly but the phone didnt go further than boot GIF until the 3rd time I restarted it .
Just make sure your recovery version matches the own you download and install . Just do it you'll be fine .

What was attempted on the phone? recovery installation? custom ROM installation? Dirty flashing maybe?
Please describe. Bootloader can't get unlocked on it's own.

You can restore your phone to stock firmware from below thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/restore-to-stock-original-motorola-t3155774

It's simple, just hold the power button, u will see the Turn Off and Restart buttons.
Tap and hold the Turn Off Button until the message to Restart in Safe Mode appears.
Press OK. The phone will restart in Safe Mode.
After restarting in Safe Mode, uninstall the app that has bugged your phone and restart the phone normally.
That was enough for me, bc I had installed a CM12.1 theme from Google Play and it was incompatible with CM13 Theme Engine, so I got desperate because I was supposed to lost all my data. I started looking on the internet crazily how to enter in Safe Mode on CM until I find it. So I uninstalled the CM12.1 Theme and applied the Defaut CM13 Theme.

The link provided by @pank.dhnd is solid and you can go with it anyday.
but on the other hand you can get it a lil simplified here. Just clean format using options provided. and install with the unlocked option.
it'll make your work way more easier. you can then normally root and flash the twrp image using flashify(optional).
Thank me if i helped using THANKS button.
