Hey guys, I have an old Optimus 4X HD and when i found it i decided to power it up again. However, it wouldnt power on! I thought that it might be out of battery and hence i plugged it in, only to find the keys flash lightly once and die again. Before this, it was stuck in a bootloop which i had no time to fix. Any suggestions?

Please read your own Post carefully.
Because it says, you want to have suggestions for something, you just didn't have time for (which implies that you know how to deal with it).
So if you would've used your brain, you would've written "it was stuck in a bootloop which i don't know how to fix" instead of "it was stuck in a bootloop which i had no time to fix", otherwise we don't know how to help you. Do you even get what I'm saying?
Assumed you don't know how to fix a bootloop, why don't you use ur brain and search for a tutorial like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723
There are lots of pictures which will help you to understand it even without reading carefully. :good: But be aware of having time

You have to factory reset it, use R&D Test tool. And please, anyone having issues regarding anything, CM7, V20a, flashing, etc. post on dedicated threads instead making one. 'Cause this was solved earlier on those threads. Unless a new issue arises...

I am sorry that i dont know what R&D test tool is. I saw that the related thread have very few response that seems to have no help on that.
Moreover, I need to recover my phone ASAP since I just have this phone for my daily work.
Thanks

Yes, I did try this method but doesnt help at all.
after 100%, it has a reboot, showing LG logo; then reboot, showing LG logo once again.
then, since the third reboot, however, it turns to a black screen and flashing light of the 4 buttons; and have this loop forever and no LG logo again.
sorry for my poor english.
thanks

Try this one. It was also posted there. If you managed to unbrick it by his method, reflash again then with your V10b HK. Don't forget CS_EMERGENCY mode. or with CS_EMERGENCY, Try direct V10b flash. Trial and error.

Actually ...i love XDA tearing my phone to every single bit..learning how to edit roms and everything and testing on my own phone (coz i know how to unbrick nw ) hahahahaha...its fun...
OK guys!
yesterday i cooked a ROM with dsixda's Android Kitchen.I also checked the updateR-script file to prevent any damage.
but the problem is :
ROM was flashed successfully and every single function worked. I just turned my phone off and it doesn't boot any more.
Any suggestions?
Is that a BRICK?
Thank you all in advance!:crying:

Can you get into Download/Recovery Mode? and what is it doing? Just black or showing the bootanimation? And btw you should have posted that in the q&a thread!
Try connect phone to charger and we will see.
thank you!
first i knew this should have been posted in Q&A but thought you guys can help me more.
my phone is showing a black screen and no response.
I just dont know what the hell has happened to this. It was working fine but ... you know the story!
I dont know if its a hard brick either. cuz nothing (just nothing) happened to the phone. No wrong flashing,ROM manager,...
just wanted to know what the should i do with this thing:crying::crying::crying:
You don't have flashed any kernel that's not for the i9001 right? If you have done that it's hard bricked. if not it's rescue-able

So, does download mode work or not?
1.I haven't flashed any incorrect kernel
2.I can't boot the phone anyway.
Told you guys
dunno what the hell is wrong with this!
just after flashing my cooked ROM I shut the device down and thats all!
I don't think this is called a Brick but anyway I can't fix it
If you cant boot phone anyway, that's Hard Brick...

AW: [Q]How to unbrick?
Take battery out, wait 30 minutes Start Odin in your pc plug in the USB cable To the phone, press and hold the button Combo for download mode and take in the battery
sometimes this works, our phone is very hard To brick
i verified my battery with a multimeter and it's giving me Voltage.
unfortunately there's no SSC here so I could fix it but battery seems a bit...................weird
maybe it's dead.
I try to buy a new one and try again.
BUT PLEASE GIVE UR FEEDBACK MAYBE I DIDN'T NEED TO BUY ANYTHING.
thank you guys again.
edit:it hasn't been hit since I flashed my Homebrew crappy ROM.

The first advice I can give to you is to take the battery out for overnight then put it back in.
Hi guys
So my uncle has asked me to unbrick his phone for him. One day it just wouldn't turn on apparently. When I received it from him, the Samsung logo would pop up, recovery mode was not accessible, but I could get into download mode
I followed this tutorial: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/unbrick-restore-samsung-galaxy-note-gt-n7000/
but the flash failed, and now I can get no life from it at all.
In the mean time I am waiting for a JIg to arrive from eBay, but how should I go about fixing it when it does arrive- this seems to be a hard/dead brick.
Thanks, would appreciate any advice!

I did not screenshot anything at the time, but I believe it simply said "flash failed" or something to that effect.
Read somewhere that if I put the battery in a freezer, that would charge it up (to check if the phone is simply out of battery)
This true?

How do you expect help with "or something"?
For today I am simply too tired to make guesses or ask for complete details - did this just in another thread with no result.

- I don't really see why it matters, that I did not know to record the exact message. The point is the phone isn't turning on and I wanted to know if there is anything I can do - I assume it is because the flash failed but I can't be certain.

If it doesn't matter then I'm sorry I bothered you asking for details.
Do you have a plan already what to do with a dead brick?

Make the small effort and write the freakin' steps here so people who have bricked their devices and are freaking out, could search and quickly find the phone-saving steps here! Without having to contact another member and wait for his respose...

I've had this error previously due to a similar issue (cable fell out in the process of an Odin flash) but was able to get into download mode to restore stock. You sure you were performing the steps properly from a powered off state? Namely, making sure you connected a USB cable before pressing the button combination?
I'm not sure if you paid for the fix you had performed, but it would be a shame if it was unnecessary.
