[Q] Did I BRICK mine? :( Please help me resurrect it from the dead!

Hi there,
First things first I'm a big noob when it comes to tweaking/flashing/anything with a phone; and life just confirmed it.
All I wanted was to make pics without shutter sound, to capture powerpoint screens in college instead of having to write ten sentences in 10 seconds. I couldnt just turn the shutter sound off! After some reading I thought I needed to both get my P880 rooted and needed CWM Recovery; I managed to do everything exactly as stated here:
Rooting:
http://theunlockr.com/2013/01/14/how-to-root-the-lg-optimus-4x-hd/
Installation of CWM Recovery:
http://theunlockr.com/2013/01/14/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-the-lg-optimus-4x-hd/
After that I tried to install this rom via CWM Recovery -> install from SD/zip file -> CWM_deodex_rom_v10e_signed.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871858
I did that because this mod had the camera mod I wanted installed already.. The installation went fine, the phone stated.
But when I hit reboot, it got stuck in bootloop.. All I can do now is press PWR + Vol down (read that after some googling) and enter 'Android system recovery <3e>'.
It shows this list of options (above a picture of a dying android with a red exclamation mark on top of it)
reboot system now (done that few times now, gets stuck in bootloop everytime.. Well I think it's that. It gets stuck at the LG screen, it's my interpretation that that is the correct use of the word bootloop)
apply update from external storage (well please dear lord let there be an escape through this option)
wipe data/factory reset (no results after hard resetting, still bootloop)
wipe cache partition (did this too)
apply update from cache (not this, why whould I)
wipe nv partition (did this too)
Toggle Console VART Log (and well, I don't think this option's going to save me)
I wanted an option to turn off the shutter sound. Well, things changed. Right now I'm willing to do anything to get the phone back to life! Google couldn't really help me out.. Well better stated: I can't help myself out using google, so I'm asking for your help! Please all XDA tweakers, modders, hackers, etc. unite and help! It is appreciated A LOT! Please state what I need to do now, I just want to get it back to a working state. Or please confirm that it is not completely BRICKED ;x
edit: I followed some advice from the unbrick-thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843830
Now I'm stuck @ S/W Upgrade - Please wait while upgrading ... screen. Please help me out
edit 2: What I'm doing now.. via the LG PC Suite -> Lg Mobile Support Tool -> Recovery (you need to fill in either IMEI or S/N and model)
Status: Downloading the LG Mobile Phone Software Update program. Est time left: 44:40 for 400mb.. Nice server

Re-flash using LGFlash Tool.
Use compatible .dll depending if its v10x or v20a.
Search a little, there's a lot of info about that

Wait, my stock v10c's camera already had the function to mute the shutter sound. Why did you need to do anything else?

I managed to get my hands on the latest version of LGNPST - I suppose that's what you mean with LGFlash Tool.
But how do I know if the phone is v10x or v20a.. ? I think all methods to look that up are blocked, since Im in bootloop with only android system recovery <3e>
Thanks!
nvm: just found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861854, found out that you are an awesome guy!
just flashed to v20a, she's back alive

I9001 bricked? Please Help!

Hey guys I've got some serious problems with my phone...
Today I wanted to flash the new recovery from ivendor on my brend new PC. Ive installed the "Samsung Driver for mobile phones" because I know that Kies won't work on CM10. Well so far so good. I flashed the new Recovery via ODIN. The phone rebootet normally after that like always. Than back on my Homescreen I was going to settings to do a factory reset including deleting all files from SD card. The phone rebooted again and than everything was going to hell...
Than the Android symbol showed up like always after a full wipe but that time the phone bootet into recovery directly and my recovery shows a lot of errors like E:cant' mount / cache/recovery/log E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p17. And my recovery background has this Android symbol which you can see in that link:
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XU5LJWLFf...AZ4/fiL5GNNDg6g/s1600/AndroidRedTriangle.jpeg
When trying to boot normaly my phone only boots till Samsung galaxy/Cyanogenmod screen and after 10-15 secound it goes off...
Please Help!

Cant help you alot, but try to get stock firmware and then root and flash your rom again. It should help you.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

!!!!!!!!!!!
the most important thing:
you have an i9001
dont flash anything that is made for i9000
flash only things that are made for i9001
!!!!!!!!!!!
please try to flash a stable recovery via odin like clockworkmod 5.xyz.
you may find it in the CM9 thread by arco

Greetings & good luck

Thanks guys for your help. I tryed all of that. Even flashing Stock ROM hasn't helped. Phone is bricked : /

does odin detects your i9001 when it shows the screen described in 1st post?
if you could do something with odin and if there are no hardware problems your phone is far away from bricked. (my opinion)
take a look at our wiki. you may find something to reset everything (partitions, bootloaders...)
good luck

well dude u r using s+ right..try flashing it through the recovery mode directly if u can access the card..or take a card reader and mount the cwm recovery and flash that and flash those zip files u want through external sd card..i dont trust odin much..maybe we can figure this out together if u didnt fix it yet.

I have exactly the same problem, no matter what I flash (with Odin/CWM) it no longer boots, and it fails to wipe data partition. Any idea how to repartition de data partition?

It never happend to me but I'll try to help you. I don't know if I'm allowed to put links on this forum but broodplank who is known on this forum for his sgs+ releases has a great tutorial on his site and u might wanna check it out. Google broodplank and acces his website, under the section tutorials you will find what you're looking for.

or look on his xda thread...

I werdly bricked my Xperia T...

I tried to install Clockworkmod on my Xperia T and somehow I managed to completely brick my phone. (I was using custom karnel)
I can get to the recovery menu without any problems, but when I close it, screen just turns black and nothing happens. If I try simulated batery pull it just boots up SONY logo from where I can get back to recovery menu. I also tried to get my phone to fastboot or flashmode but my PC doesn't regoionize it.
I have no idea what is wrong. Installation was smooth and I was already doing the same thing but with Android version 4.1.
Is there any posibility to restore karnel from recovery or any other solution.

There is a CWM flashable stock ROM available.
You should ask some people here how you can use fastboot to flash recovery to your phone (i am more or less a n00b, but did something similar to my xperia once). Ideally I would recommend TWRP, from within TWRP you can mount your phone as USB storage, copy the flash zip and flash it using TWRP.

Youve wiped your /system so your phone is blank.
Get flashtool and an FTF and revert to stock then root, recovery and flash custom rom again.

Thanks, I'll try this but 1) Could you point me where can I find a stock rom .ftf to download and 2) My phone was rooted, even though I'll have to do it again ?

As soon as you wipe /system your phone is basically without recovery/OS so unrooted. While the recovery is active and in memory this is fine but if you reboot then you lose even that. Root is all about the OS which you dont have.
FTF files can be found in the android development forum.

If you have flashtool.. Download stock ftf from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964 and place it in Flashtools>firmware. Connect your device in flashmode( Volume Down and connect). Click on the Lighting Button> Flashmode and flash. [ BACKUP YOUR INTERNAL MEMORY AS IT GETS FORMATTED]
But note that you will lost Root Access. You have to root your Xperia SP again. And if you have unlocked bootloader then it will remain unlocked. No need to unlock again.

Forgot to mention to power off the device if stuck in bootloop.
Take off your back case. Take a pen,pencil or similar object. Hold the small yellow button at the bottom of the device with the nib of pen or the object you are having. Hold that button until the device vibrates thrice.

Thanks all for help and support it works fine now ;D but again i have to root my device. Maybe someone can tell me the fastest/easiest option to do this. I'd like to do this with locked bootloader. Last time I used V-Root. Any suggestions ?

Good to know that your device works fine.
But Remember You have to install CWM again as well as Root your device again.
This is the Kernel which install CWM as well as Root your Device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292716
Just Flash the kernel using Flashtool in Fastboot mode.

Oh I am really sorry the link is for Unlocked Bootloaders. ? please dont flash this with Locked Bootloader.
