Bricked Mobile? Flashed wrong kernel - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, everyone.
I have already installed CM11 on my Moto G XT-1040, peregrine. I was curious to learn a bit more about kernels and tried to download one and flash it via TWRP. The problem is that I got one from XT-1032, falcon, without noticing it. The kernel is XPerience 17+ and it's frozen on the boot until this very moment. What should I do? Did I brick my phone or is there a way to recover it?
Oh. It seems that the battery got the phone killed and it finally turned off. (Feels like having some kind of Apple device, which cannot be turned off until the battery is still alive).
I put it to charge... any ideas of the next step? It responded, at least to the charging.
So, now to the real question... can I try to flash the old kernel again? If yes, how?
(I'm really hoping to enter the recovery mode!!)
I'm hoping someone can help me out!
Thanks in advance,
Rodolfo.

Nevermind, I got it backed up and restored it.

If anyone had the same problem, I hope you guys had a backup file on TWRP, which restores almost everything but the bootloader logo from the other kernel.
Good news, the problem was solved just with the Recovery Mode. It needed to get into the bootloader, which was only possible after the battery died.

Holding the power button for 20 seconds or so didn't work?

No it didn't. Unfortunatelly. D:

No commands were working at the time. Just the frozen bootloader screen from the wrong kernel. When the battery died, after some 5 minutes or so of charge I managed to turn it on on the bootloader and put it on recovery mod. Wow, I killed all my nerves, thinking I lost my close-to-new phone. Then backup saved my day!

Major headache with P1010

Recently received a GT-P1010 (Wifi only version).
Story:
Mom wanted to try it out so I let her. Told her the basics and how to shut it off.
Went back downstairs after a while and found the screen was off, asked her if she shut it off in detail, she said yes. Don't think she did because the next morning the battery was dead.
Charged the battery to full and booted it up. Stuck in a boot loop.
Found out how to get into recovery mode. Restore factory settings and everything else doesn't work. Stuck in recovery mode.
Try flashing different firmware. Can't find a US firmware version for the life of me (from what I understand I don't think one exists yet?)
What can I do here? Such a headache with this at the moment. A couple random things that might help detail my problem;
- movinand checksum fails (what is this movinand stuff anyways?) -might be slightly wrong spelling on that file name but i'm sure you know what file i'm talking about. just too frustrated to bother turning it on again at the moment.
- update.zip on the sd card can't find the file or directory doesn't exist
- on one firmware flash attempt i had the pit, pda and csc files. i found everything would finish installing but the csc. it would get to "movinand" and fail at almost 100%
Anybody? Any ideas?
Bumppppppp
to the top. any info?
Last try =\

lmao, Do you honestly believe anybody here is going to fall for that?
At least be honest about your fail, You obviously tried flashing your device without researching properly and flashed a incorrect fw like many of the wifi-only n00bs.

Uh... no. Actually it happened exactly how I said it happened. The battery was dead. I charged it. It was stuck in a boot loop. Got it into recovery mode. Stuck in recovery mode. Thanks though, asshole

Lol what is your problem? Rough home life? Why are you here if you're not going to help?
I've actually done a **** load of research. I spent 9 hours trying to fix it. I got it out of recovery mode and back into a boot loop but obviously that doesn't help. It's sitting there stuck in recovery mode again.
Maybe you could point me to the correct firmware, then?

Help! Hard Bricked Note

After being careful on flashing ROM based on our valued friends instruction, my Note got bricked somehow.
Rom installed: Slim Beans 4.3 build 2 with Raw kernel R4.
Everything works fine and smooth until on time, when i was using the phone with 19% batt while charging the phone hang. It was not responding at all so i pressed and hold the power button until it power off. Then i removed the charge and change the battery from a spare fully charged batt. Now the phone won't turn on.
Note won't go to recovery nor download mode. Does not show that its charging as no charging icon show up. I have an external battery charge though so i'm sure that my spare battery is fully charged. I tried to blindly perform the download mode and connect to PC with Odin and its not recognized. Even tried the one-click unbrick but would not recognize the phone. Any idea what else i can try beside using USB Jig or JTAG?
I’ve read about sudden death issues or reserve battery being depleted but non of the solution worked.
Anything else i might have failed to try? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
No GT-N7000 screen also?

Yes, nothing at all. it just died on me all of the sudden. I've never experienced even boot loop since flashing almost all sorts of ROM & kernel since CM 9 days, even jumping between TW/ASOP/CM/Miui roms. I've always been very careful in following the instructions reading since rooting my n7000.
now this happened. :crying:
Edit: And now i've read that they are about to release a Kitkat Omni ROM..
If there is no response from the phone at all.. then there could be board issues.. Try with a jig if possible. may be that can force the phone into download mode.. else repair center..

Hmm.. I was looking to flash the same kernel with the new tech. Maybe look for help from the developer? On his topic was a guy who had the similar situation.
Looking to hear more from you on this.
ps. flashed the kernel once (r4) and the backlights were turning on and off (in settings were turned off), so i figured the kernel isn't supported. Slim Rc2
Well, i finally got a usb jig today and tried it on my n7000, it didnt work. Still no download mode for me, nothing. As i suspect this is already super bricked due to damaged mainboard.
The screen won't light up at all? When you are in a dark room, the screen isn't completely black, and that is the sign you need. It could be messed up partitions. Have you used pit file before?

Yes, won't light up at all not even in a dark room. I have not tried using a pit file before but would love to try it. The problem is i can't get it to download mode, not even with a jig. Tried connecting PC with Odin running thinking that i can do it blindly even without anything showing on the screen. The problem is that Odin can't recognize it.
Having trawled the net for a solution to this, i am interested to see if you have any luck with this, as my note did exactly the same yesterday, although mine is stock.
Completely gutted:crying:

Samsung Galaxy S3 mini is completely dead

Yesterday evening my phone was on the charger then it suddenly stopped and it is completely dead. It isn't showing any signs of life ever since, even if I charge it. It doesn't even show offline charging and I can't send it to Samsung as it's rooted so my warranty it VOID. It seems to me that it has Sudden Death Syndrome because it has been recently been switching off and now it's completely dead. What should I do? I'm pretty much screwed!

Well... I managed to just get it into offline charging. When I boot it up in normal mode it shows Samsung Galaxy S3 mini then after a few seconds the bottom lights flash for half a second and shut down. When I try to boot to recovery, model name then shut down. Yes it can just about make it into download mode.

If you get into download mode, go to sammobile en download the firmware for your phone and flash it with odin. if that worked, open stock recovery and do a fatory reset to make sure everything is back to stock... Then you can just hope it won't happen again.

I tried flashing stock recovery and ROM through Odin, it said pass but nothing actually seemed to fix and it still has the same problem that it shuts down after showing logo and when I boot to recovery it just shows TeamWin for a few seconds and shuts down so looks like I'm screwed and I have to use my BlackBerry :'(

And I don't think Samsung will repair it as my warranty is void and I doubt if my parents would get me a new phone as this phone is only 3 months as well! And I have seen an unbrick thread and I tried it and it didn't work :'(
Well, I know how you feel. My charging port died once after I changed rom. Samsung asked me 200 for repair. Maybe you can give it a try and send him in... You never know Samsung loves you more than me..

Have you any news about the problem in your phone?
Mine (i8190 with one of the mclaws roms from previous week) also appeared in the morning shut down and there's no way of starting it. It does not even vibrate when power button pressed, as if the battery was completely empty.
Tried with another battery and checked that the original one had charge, but no luck. It does not start (normal, download or recovery, makes no difference).
Any ideas?

Well mine was dead for a day then I plugged it into the charger (this was after a day and I left it on charge all night and it wouldn't start) and I held the power button for 10 seconds while it was on the charger it showed offline charging so I let it charge for a bit and then I powered it on and it seemed to be bricked so I sent it to a phone repair shop (not Samsung as my warranty is void). If it doesn't show any signs of life then it's bricked. If it comes to life then it is also probably bricked. I tried flashing many recoveries, ROMs, kernels and params and nothing happened.

I tried to flash stock ROM and recovery but nothing actually worked!
1. Did you follow the instructions in detail?
2. What does "nothing actually worked!!" mean??
Maybe you need to work out what is the problem and why it is failing. Then you will be able to figure out if it is actually fixable, and if so how to fix it. "Trying everything" doesn't really work unless you make an effort to analyse the results you get every time you try something.
You could try posting in one of the threads about taking the phone back to stock. The people who posted them might be able to help you, they are more experienced at this sort of thing.

I tried those solutions and they didn't work.
Kid, can you read?
What did you try? What was the result?
"didn't work" isn't a result, it's you giving up. Without even trying to find out why it didn't work.

[Q] Galaxy S I9000 won't boot and turns off

Hello Community,
I'm new here and hope you can help me even if it is only a little bit
So I have a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 with stock rom 2.3.6, root rights and cwm flashed.
Before I did this I had some problems with my phone, e.g. if I hit (gently) the back side the phone turns off =/
My new at the moment real problem is that I cannot turn my phone on if I only use the battery. (onlly the Samsung logo appears for a short time)
I can only boot it if the phone is pluged into my computer. When it runs and the display turns off, the phone will go off also. (not instantly but atfter 2-5 minutes)
Does anyone knows something about such a problem?
Thanks for your help.

I can exclude the battery. I have tested two of them and I can be sure that both are well because they work in another Galaxy S I9000 without problem.
To flash a custom rom with plugged phone into computer will be tested tomorrow.

Good luck:good:But I would suggest to flash stock gb rom first just to make sure its not a software problem.
I remember @xsenman has mentioned a solution for this problem about two months ago..... I am sure he will write you soon here.
I had the same problem with my phone, it would reboot if i tapped the back of it, i found out it was a dodgy app i installed so i uninstalled a couple of apps i recently installed and it solve the problem.
So know I have tryed to flash with connected phone. I do not know whether it works because the phone won't boot the system, only recovery and bootloader.
In cause of this I have reflashed with Odin again. Now I get at reboot this screen:

sry but i cannot post direct links =/
I understand what there is written but I don't know why, the only sdcard is my internal there is no external connected.
So there is a new problem and I would be glad about new ideas =\
(I tryed: reboot, wipes and reboot, wipes and new flashing (same problem))
@tetakpatak if my system boots again I would search for his post thank you

[HELP]Phone stuck in permanent bootloop

i was using my phone this morning alright and it suddenly froze for 5 seconds and turned off. i tried opening again, but it was looping back to the LG splash screen. this was annoying enough because i wasn't doing any experiments or anything. i was using it like i usually do and it suddenly did this. i tried to reset it, same. went to TWRP to make a backup but even the recovery froze and turned off. moved a rom to the phone and tried flashing it, THE RECOVERY AGAIN FROZE AND PHONE TURNED OFF! i then considered flashing it to stock. i opened LG UP and put my phone into download mode, then started the flashing process. it completed all the way to 100 and then my phone turned to the lg screen and then to the TMOBILE screen and then again rebooted and got into a bootloop! what the hell is happening? flashing the stock is like the final solution. what should i do? Please please please help me i'll get into a lot of trouble if i dont fix my phone.

infamous bootloop, a hardware issue. you need to send it back to LG or tmobile. relock the bootloader.

that sucks. well you can bake the board but its temporary sometimes. or you could make it boot freezing it and install kernele auditor and disable big cores. may need a custom kernel for that..
or buy a motherboard..
Could you explain these methods in a bit detail? The baking and freezing

do a search on how to fix LG G4 bootloop. the freezing its somewhere in here tmobile section. i know you have to put in plastic bag and have it in the freezer so it doesnt get hot and bootloop is just to keep it cold to point of no bootloop while you retrieve data. but you can disable big cores. and let it run on 4 cores.
