Its restarts normal, i saw lg logo but after that, instead of bootanimation i saw black screen with blinking touch keys(menu, home, back, search). I pulled of battery for few seconds and put it back...turn on phone and...the same... :/ next i goes to emergency recovery and flash nova8 again and guess what? still the same!!!! after lg logo black screen with blinking touch keys! i tried to flash stock s/w with kdz updater, i tried 10a and 10e version and still the same! do u have maybe some other ideas how can i try to flash this that would maybe help me? or maybe i have to sent phone to service?

but now i dont have nova or cwm recovery ;/

try hard reset (search for it )

Download LGMobile Update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111771 in this Update Kit. Then turn of phone, pull of battery and press and hold Vol+ button and plug in USB and then in LGMobile Update click on "Custommer Support" and Recovery Phone. Write your IMEI and click check. It can take a lot of time because it will download a new firmware.

nah, keep on holding that volume up then plug in the USB. have you installed the USB drivers?

Turn your phone off. Use eRecovery! Turn phone on then repeatedly hit Vol Down key then do factory reset. If no luck use KDZ updater.

yes, i plug usb cable to device with holding vol+ and 'sw upgrade, please wait...' screen appear. I tried again few minutes ago with kdz updater and via lg mobile update phone recovery and no luck. Phone is rebooting (black screen with blinking touch keys) when installing software on 90% ;/ of course installing software goes to 100% and says its completed and ok, but phone reboots on 90% ;/. I have installed all drivers, i tried on my laptop (win7) and my dad (win xp).

that's a big hello of a problem.... I jonno what else u can do... if I were u then I would flash it again and again... then maybe for the customer care center... although I think ur warranty is being voided so u will not be able to repair it for free... let's hope for the best and let us know what happens next... best of luck...

Przykro ki kolego, nie naprawisz tego sam. Musisz odeslac telefon do serwisu LG w Mławie...
Sorry pal, you can't fix it yourself. You must send it to LG service centre in Mława (Poland)...

+1 for this. Flash and flash. Try upgrading to V10E via KDZ. Me thinks it's a bootloader problem. Does LG SECURITY TEAM appears or not?
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium

yeah..i flashed this several times...with kdz updater and by lg mobile update->phone recovery. I flashed 10A and 10E...results the same. I dont know how LG SECURITY TEAM looks like but i didnt see anything else besides LG LOGO--> Black screen with blinking touch keys and just Black screen with blinking keys (even without lg logo). I give up with this, there is no hope for this phone i think, today im sending this to the service. Thanks for helping me i will certainly write here what happend if i get phone back

I also stuck on the same thing
Really for that reason i hate LG Black

See response in other thread:
If you are 100% sure you cannot enter download mode you really have a problem. Did you try checking the battery? And if you are 100% sure - search the forum, there's some posts about using a JIG to fix it, but most seem to have gone back to Samsung afaik...
What did you do to get your phone in this mode?! Give is some more info on what happened...

Thanks for your fast reply, please see the below details

Try removing the battery and charge cable for a while (at least 30 minutes or so). I've not heard this happened before... and try charging with another cable and/or with another charger (for instance a laptop or some other usb device)...

Never install mods, addons, ROMs, kernels or anything made for whole Another phone.
Yes, that's the problem. I'm very sorry to tell you but you just destroyed your phone's boot.img by installing wrong one. And the wrong boot.img wont let you do anything on your phone. There's no way you could enter to recovery or download mode or anything.
I have no idea about the JIG thing but when I hard bricked my phone, I took it to the reseller and got it fixed for free of charge

Is there a golden card method
Any idea if there is a golden card method to create an boot image to let the phone start again

Your phone is kind of dead now. You can't push a boot image to it 'cause computer doesn't recognize it properly. Bricked means your phone is just as useful as a brick. It wont turn on in any way and there's nothing else your phone would do.

The JIG costs only 2$ , if that doesn't get u into download mod then u can only revive ur phone with JTAG .

Any details about this 2 methods???

JIG on ebay...

My advice is go see if u can repair it for free (warranty) , if not u can try the JIG to get u into download mode so u can flash via Odin (there are a lot of clips about JIGs on youtube) , if all that doesn't work JTAG is ur only hope (also there are videos about it on youtube).

Better Soluction
It ocurred me and I go to Movistar Shop and I said that it doesn't boot and I don't know anything and they give me another one with the guarantee.
Try and if not try with JIG ,

me 2, think you installed the wrong rom on the wrong phone..MIUEI rom is not out for the GT I9001, when i bricked my phone =1 medecin= www.broodplank.net (and check how to unbrick your I9001-article)

As the partition layout and even the filesystem is totally different I think you wiped away your bootloader and maybe also radio firmware. If this is your actual situation, it is ver very VERY unlikely you will get your phone alive with a jig. Don't know the partition layout of a 9000 but even the hardware is completely different. Not nucb hope left, very sorry.

[HELP] Briked phone

Hi Guys!
Yesterday I change the Sim Card on my phone. I power off it normaly and change the SIM. When I try to boot the phone again this didn't boot.
My case is the same as in this video, but I did not try to flash the device before (In the explanation of the video, the user says that he tried to flash a custom rom, In my case it was the original rom)
I had to attach a txt with link to Youtube (sorry)
I try to Flash with Odin. Apparently Odin flash the device correctly (with de original firm). But the result is the same, don't boot.
Anyone else did the same?

Is the display turning on?
If yes, where does it hang?
If no, it's a hardbrick and your ace is dead.

Yes, the display turn on (same as you watch in the end on the vídeo); the device turn on the screen and then turn off (< 1 sec) and don't shown nothing (No Samung Logo or Galaxy ACE...) . But the phone boot in "downloading ..." mode and "RAMDUMP" mode.
Thanks for your reply :good:

Do you reach revovery? Home+power button. If yes, do a factory reset, and reboot. It should work.
If this doesen't help try flashing this firmware with odin XWKB7. It's 2.2.1 Froyo (4 files and multi-CSC, how to: http://droidangel.blogspot.hu/2011/05/samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-original-stock.html), and after that flash a 2.3.6 firmware.

I'm working right now, so I can not open a lot of sites. Use google, search for XWKB7. I guess, you will find a working link.

Tanks for your Replies!

i think as per your comments....your phone's hardware is damaged internally...as you have no try to flash a rom...how is it possible ? to brick a phone ? go to samsung service center and get it repaired...

Yeah, maybe that's the right way. Bring it to the service, but do not tell them anything about odin and firmwares, even about sim card. Just tell them that you used the phone it suddenly stop responding than turn itself off, and since than you cannot turn it on... Or something like that.

Thanks guys!
This afternoon I will send the phone to Samsung to give me budget...
Thanks for your replies!

[Q] LG990 won't boot.

I installed a rom called Eaglesblood from ROM Manager.
When it was all installed, the phone just loops and won't start. The only thing that is showing is the Eaglesblood logo. I tried to boot ROM Manager, but it wont start since the LG logo is not showing.
Is there anything I can do?
One more thing, I tried to connect it to the computer and it is charing, but it does not show as any device on the computer though.

You must wipe your phone before installing a new rom, otherwise you can get bootloops, try it good luck

search around, there's a few very good guides on this and other forums.

You must reboot in cwm and there you can wipe the phone... in option advanced are mire wipe option, best way to install a custom rom is making a fullwipe.. whatch in xda there are many guides for this.

I tried to access the CWM by holding the Power and -Vol on the phone. The phone just boot up and doesn't even go into the cwm. The Eaglesblood logo just repeats all over.
I can take pictures if you like, if it is easier to understand.
Is there anyway to access the phone by USB? I can't even find it on the PC when I plug it in, it just charges itself

If you are unable to recover your phone you can always use NVflash. It will flash one of the first Froyo versions on your phone. Then you can root it, install ClockworkMod and install any ROM you like.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007825
It's low level flashing so use it only when there is no other option.

Thanks! But I still have an error trying to connect my phone to the computer. The USB is charing the phone, but the computer won't recognize the device. It doesn't even popup anything.
I have windows 8 on my desktop, and I tried to plug it in the laptop aswell, but it doesn't do anything. And yes, I have the LG drivers installed already.

If you remove battery and you push vol down key and power button and you connect to usb then you get into recovery mode?

No, it doesn't. The LG logo is just flashing then it turns black and repeats itself like that.
However, i tried only to hold down the vol-down button and plugged the USB in and then it starts something saying:
"S/W Upgrade please wait while upgrading..." but it does not show up on the PC as if it was connected.

Yes, so try to reflash cwm.. look at the guids in the section android development..

I'm very thankful for linking me this, but the problem still exist that I can't find my device on Windows. If i remember correctly, the USB connection to the phone stoped to work when I fixed root access to the phone and the CWM.
Is there anything I can do to fix this USB connection issue?

Try this, you can get to the stock via s/w upgrade and smartflash this must work, there is a completr tutorial how to get on stock via smartflash. I hope i can help

Its maybe 4 months since she bricked her OB to death:
>>>no lights when charging
>>>cant boot to recovery or any other boot or S/W upgrade
>>>she cant remember what she exacly did.
###### she told me she installed some cm9 or 10 rom way back then and formatted system ,data,emmc and something like that...
###### its like the EMMC PROBLEM I got on GALAXY NOTE GT N7000 that when you do wipe data on unsafe kernel, you will BRICK your Phone to death <<see death meaning above :thumbup:>>
is there some WorkAround for it?
no warranty because its over...
LG service center is toooo far because its a 10 hour drive to nearest LG service center.... (mainly becuse of Poverty)
and I may have a very gooooooood February 14 if I can bring it to life...
