Phone Bricked, solutions? suggests?

well, i just bricked my gt540 when decided to downgrade from 2.3 to 2.1...the process with the kdz flasher stops in the middle and now the phone is dead, totally! dont boot at all so.. in internet there is no info about how to fix this, so for people like me, that have no warranty or place to send the device maybe somebody with knowledge can help us with the jtag digram maybe? or another solution...well that is all. thanks in advance

flash 2.1 fastboot rom with kdz updater again, then go into fastboot and flash clockworkmod recovery/ or flash 2.2/2.3 with android sdk

Hello i has been in your place, only put your phone in download mode (volume - + button on/off) connect your phone again and install the rom with KDZ

Like Hani said: "flash 2.1 fastboot rom with kdz updater again, then go into fastboot and flash clockworkmod recovery/ or flash 2.2/2.3 with android sdk"
Do that, flash 2.1 fastboot and clockwork kdz over KDZ UPDATER, then it needs to work

Please actually read, his phone cannot boot into download or emergency mode.so he cant flash any ROMs. This happened to me, My power went out while flashing a KDZ. Try taking your phone back to the store and see what they say (don't tell them you flashed!), they fixed mine (considering I voided the warranty) or if they won't fix, there is a place online somewhere who when you send them your phone, they jtag it and fix it for you. I'll have a look for the link again.
Hope it helps,
Jack

Sounds like you screwed the startup part of the kernel like I did ages ago, I just took it bk to shop and said it wouldn't turn on

yes, like aaa801 says it seems that the start part its dead, thats terrible because i have no warranty and send it to another country to fix it costs almost same that buy a new one...what i must to do? it sounds that theres no hope...

Take it to your local retailer lg ofcourse and him to it for you.....he'll take some charges!

flash a fastboot rom and boot your phone into fastboot mode
then (after u installed adb tool) u open cmd.exe and change the folder (u need the folder where the "fastboot.exe" is)
then u type in
"fastboot.exe -w"

My friend. Instead of doing the JTAG yourself (which is really not easy because you will have to soldier things on the board itslef because it is not prepared for this) I suggest you use this service:
http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/cable_..._Repair_Service_(mail_in_repair_service).html
Not expensive, and it shoud do the needed.
Hope this helps.

I would really like apreciate some JTAG schematics...there are several sites on internet that offer this service hopefully somebody will tell us how to do it...

You need a device called a "RIFF Box" which go from around £110 to £150. So using the above purchase would be a better option

im from Colombia so that its very difficult... ok it seems that my phone is officially a piece of junk =(

I think your phone is not bricked.
My friend have a GT540 and nothing shows in the screen until the phones finishes booting.
What I did to flash SwiftDroid? I ran the commands to flash it via fastboot and the terminal said "waiting for device". I turned the phone off, turned it on in fastboot mode. Nothing showed on the screen, but my terminal managed to flash the ROM.
Have you already tried that?
Good luck

LG 4X HD p880 in bootlooping, can't do anything [&already searched the foruns]

Hello.
I'm new to Android stuff and i started with Lg P880. I rooted it easily and now i've tried to install some CWM but i guess i did it wrong. After the initial LG logo the phone was doing the boot animation and then it got stuck on it. Then i flashed some .kdz into the phone and it got stuck on the initial LG logo without the animation.
I've already searched 1000 topics and tried 1001 things but nothing with success. What should i do? maybe the best option is to install the original firmware? and how if it is?
Thanks guys, hoping for some feedback.

You did unlock your bootloader didn't you? If so try to flash kdz with LG Flash Tool or something.

u can also use the all in one toolkit to help u install a recovery easy. if u havent unlocked the bootloader, then that tool will help u unlock it. u must have adb drivers installed to boot in adb and unlock bootloader. after unlocking is done u can install a custom rom. if u wanna go back to stock rom then dont bother to unlock the bootloader.

u cant find anything in 10 seconds when we say search we mean search good. nevermind... its only 5 minutes of my life.
i wont show u the adb drivers cause u have to force them in and people usually have problem with that procedure. just
1. download 32bit version android sdk , install it and update it. reboot ur pc to be sure the drivers are fine.
2. go at the folder u installed the android sdk. in there somewhere u will see a file named adb. in there create a cmd so u dont have to navigate there to use the adb commands.
3. open that cmd and do : adb start-server . check if u see ur device: adb devices. if u see it then u are good to go.
4. reboot in adb mode. use the all in one toolkit or do: adb reboot bootloader . if u get in adb mode then the toolkit will do its magic.
u dont need guide for the toolkit and there is none because above it sais what to do. it gives u options to select : 1 or 2 and then when u are in u just select the unlock bootloader. after its unlocked , select the option to flash cwm recovery or team win recovery whichever u like. thats all. then go download a custom rom , boot in recovery using volume down and power , navigate to find the adb bootloader and do ur magic using the command : adb install [rom path/name] from the pc. it will take only 10 seconds. generally its very easy. the only trouble in that crapy windows is the driver part but the android sdk will make it easy.

I really appreciate that you are trying to help me! I installed CWM to install the CM 10.2 but after i installed the CWM i rebooted the phone and it didn't start anymore since this is my main problem. My goal now is to bring him back to life again! after this yes i want to install a custom ROM to try out. I'll try to follow the procedure you posted and i'll give some feedback after doing it.

first of all put ur thoughts in order. u said u only rooted so u mustnt have unlocked the bootloader. if the bootloader is locked then cwm is not flashed. try reboot and hold volume down and power and see if u get in recovery. if not , then u must install a recovery. team win or cyanogen doesnt matter. (IF u have installed cwm that means the drivers on the pc are corrent and u can get in adb mode) Do that and tell me what happened so i know what u have done so far , because all those threads are confusing until now.

rom manager is just an app to provide easy steps. i have never used it. i prefer the manual way. to go into recovery , run the adb sideload and open a terminal at the pc and press adb install [ zip rom name , or whatever i wanna install ]

Have you tried it from your PC?
fastboot reboot-bootloader

How can you run fastboot commands if your not in fastbbot-bootloader?

"my phone doesn't enter into fast boot mode"
(General message - see what I did there? No need to repeat the entire post. Just the part I'm responding to.)
Does this mean that you can't get to bootloader? Is your bootloader unlocked? When you reboot do you see the open padlock symbol?
So what did you do to brick your device?

With USB connected, from a cmd prompt I do:
adb devices (to load the drivers and make sure my phone is recognized)
adb reboot bootloader (this should put you in bootloader mode)
fastboot devices (just to be sure my phone is still recognized)
fastboot flash radio radio.img (or whatever image you want to flash)
fastboot reboot-bootloader (in between flashes, just to be safe)

I do so hate it when people don't bother to read my posts properly. It takes away my incentive to try to help them...
"No need to repeat the entire post. Just the part I'm responding to."
"So what did you do to brick your device?" Install the custom ROM you mention?
And a new question. You say "no matter wat buttons i press". Does that include the bootloader power & volume down simultaneous press for maybe 30 seconds?
So there are 3 items in this post. Can I have 3 responses please? The first will be not copying this entire post all over again, the other two will be answers to my questions.

Do you have a working recovery you can access?
And stay away from toolkits. Learn to flash manually. It's easy and you know what part goes wrong. Tool kits are nice in automation, but when something happens ya don't have a decent idea where to start.

Mi Mix fresh out of the box - How do I get Resurection Remix on it?

Hi Community,
I'm a little bit "scared" to ask for the following, but I have read a lot about it and I'm just getting more confused, so I hope someone can bring clarity.
Situation looks like this: I will unpack my Mi Mix 256gb EU-version this evening and I want to put Resurection Remix on it. Now, what steps do I need to follow to get this done? I know the steps of each process is written in the related post, but how does it play together?
I understood that I need TWRP (to add and remove roms, right?) and then install the rom on top of it. Also, is it then rooted? flashed? unlocked? If I would want the original software on it again, is it possible to install it without leaving marks of the rom?
What confuses me also is, that I somehow have to unlock something through the xiaomi page and wait a few days?
Thank you in advance and best regards from Switzerland!

Everything you need to know is in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix/how-to/guide-flash-global-china-rom-root-gapps-t3510592
Dont forget to decrypt your phone after you unlock your bootloader.

First you have to unlock your bootloader in order to flash recovery or fastboot rom. I will add all the links you need in order , so that you can access them fast and without problems.
For unlocking your bootloader first login into your Mi Account on your Mix , after this is done , go to unlock site (en.miui.com/unlock) and apply for unlock permissions ( Remember to use the same account you logged into your device if not you won´t be able to unlock it).Remember too to enable Developer Settings and allow Usb Debugging.
Afer this is done download and find this on google (xda adb drivers) and if you have windows its super -easy to set it up ( Remember to execute the batch file with admin privileges)
Once this is done if you still have adb problems just google and install universal adb driver, I will give you all the links at the end.
After all this and you have received approbation from Xiaomi to unlock and got the code , just plug-in your phone to your computer and enter fastboot mode ( Volume down+power buttons at the same time).
Open Mi Unlock program and enter the same account you used for unlock permissions and your device. After this is done wait for the unlock process to finish and click reboot.
Once you have rebooted your device download twrp , put it into adb folder (C://Adb) and with your device plugged-in type next : adb fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (or the name of your twrp.img , or just change it to twrp).
If you followed all the steps you should have twrp working and ready to flash any rom without problems. If you need more help just answer or send pm . Good luck and happy flashing.

Hey Thanks for the quick reply. I think this will help alot. So far I'm stuck at the first stage :silly: Did not receive an SMS even after 10 minutes. With the second click I received it but my IP is now blocked. Starts good

I can't even get it to reboot into recovery, it now freezes at the screen that prompts you to go to pcsuite!

Do you mean fastboot, have you installed a recovery? We don't know how far you have got. Power and vol- for fastboot. When mi logo appears let go of power button but keep vol- pressed till you see fastboot screen.

doesn't work, I had to go this route:
http://en.miui.com/thread-500625-1-1.html
and to threadstarter: if you are not in China, you don't have to do the unlock request. If you're on EU rom already, you're unlocked. Just use the thread I posted, it is much, much easier.
You have to use the version in the thread I linked (official MIUI forum) or you'll get a TWRP where the touchscreen doesn't work and you can't confirm

Things have changed, most people did this a year ago when there was no EU ROM, just China ROM and vendor ROM, most came with bootloader unlocked, which is the first thing you should of checked. The fact you have EU ROM would normally mean that bootloader has been unlocked but sometimes they re-lock the device.

What does that mean?

Are you still using your friends computer, maybe you are still blocked on your own. O and real friends aren't allowed on XDA.?

yeah, but the phone it totally ****ed now, not even sure what happened. I used XiaoMiTool and it hasn't worked right since.

Factory reset? It can't be broken, careful you don't kill it completely. Did you use the correct tool from miui.eu?

Just a quick follow up:
I waited 59 hours and now I could successfully unlock the phone. Will proceed now with TWRP. Yey.

Question IDK Redmi 10S

Hi there.
I wanted to root a Redmi 10S device. Bootloader was also opened. The flash went during fastboot mode, then after the fastboot reboot command, the device restarted, but it only shows "Redmi" and the word android at the bottom. I tried to access recovery and fastboot mode, but powr+volD only restarts the device and only the Redmi inscription is visible.
I don't know what they call this state in which the device is.
If there is a suitable link on the forum, I would appreciate it.

Hi there!
What did you flash excatly?
I mean, did you flash the whole phone, or just a patched boot image?

Just the boot.ini. but I think this would make fastboot mode work. But it's not working

What should I use to reflash? Mi flash? This is the NS

Yes... I probably mixed up the boot file in the downloads folder and not the correct received flash

Then, you don't have to flash the whole phone again, just flash back the original image, and try rooting with twrp and magisk zip file (rename the apk file from magisk.apk to magisk.zip, and then flash it in twrp)
If you can't install twrp, or something went wrong, take a full backup from your phone (like using google's backup service, and Miui backup--> it 'll save the backup to internal storage/miui/backup/AllBackup) and then ypu can reflash the phone with mi flash tool, but don't lock the bootloader back, and after flash, you shuold enable oem unlock in developer settings.
One quick question:
Did you enable oem unlocking in developer settings, before trying to flash the modified image?

yepp, enable oem unlock. But fastbootmode is required for all operations. But fastboot mode doesn't work.

What do you mean it doesn't work?
Can't enter into fastboot mode?

Can't enter fastboot mode. The device only shows "Redmi" lettering. If fatboot worked, I could have done it already. power+volume down, the device just restarts and shows "redmi".

Hmm..
And if you holding the volD and power buttons together for a longer time?
Like a min, or sth
I had a similar situation, but after a few tries it went into fastboot mode

it just restarts, as long as I press and hold volume down+power, if I don't press it, it just shows the redmi text

I apologise, but I 've currently ran out of ideas. If I can find any solution, I 'll post an answer about it.

Hi there the forgive my on my bad english and text.
The Only thing u can do is restoring the firmware by using brom mode, Look it up or follow the steps i'll give u....
First keep in mind brom works best Without the batary conected . So remove the thin cover plate at the back u can loosen it with heat , after removing the cover move all screws and remove the housing so u can disconect the batary at the mainboard .
Next u will have to install the Vcom drivers according your chipset mediatek etc.
For the Vcom drivers and install of it u can follow https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-16640.html
U must download or allready have a firmware file in fastboot format , Open up SP Flash tool and go to optionsd and select connection, click the w/o battery option and close it. Open your scatter file and than click on download . Insert your phone wile holding your volume down or up , with my device a redmi note 10s it was the up and down to getter for it was flashing the rom. this should flash your device back with a working fastboot and working rom.
Hope u will succeed...
Greetsss

Yep, this guy here 's got the point. If you can't flash with sp flash tool because auth fail, there's a method to bypass it.
You can find the tutorial here: https://www.getdroidtips.com/bypass-mediateks-sp-flash-tool-authentication-protection/
I also got some help from this guy's post, many thanks to him too.

Let us know how it's going with it! ;D

I can unbrick the device at any time. There is another problem. An incorrect boot file is probably being copied. After TWRP you will never enter android again. But TWRP also only loads up to the subtitle. I tried a lot of methods. Now I will try google p ex. android and make it root.
But, if someone can recommend a device intended for gaming, but easy to root, then I will buy one

If you can root it easily, then the expensive one is good for me! Normal root was not available for typical gamer phones for years. If I buy something for which root may not be available, then I'm wasting my money...
