Think I Bricked my phone somehow....

I rooted when the phone first came out, did the forever root method days ago, was using ROM manager to boot into recovery and BAM!!! phone went completely dead. I had just taken it off the docking station about 15 minutes prior, had a full charge, tried swapping with my original battery, nothing...took it to verizon store, they couldn't do anything and ordered me another phone to come on Tuesday. What do you guys think??? I haven't installed any roms, radio changes, NOTHING!!!... pulled the battery a hundred times, nothing comes on

Dude, first of all, if you mess up your phone by rooting it, DO NOT take it to Verizon. Cardinal rule #1.
Second, a quick view of the threads here and you would have found this:

Do this and you'll be fine.

That's the thing
I can't get to fastboot or any boot screen. Phone is completely lifeless, doesn't even show when plugged in, tried multiple chargers, batteries, everything...nothing.

Sorry bro, sounds like a hard brick to me. if you cant power it on and holding VolumeDown+Power or holding both volume buttons+power does nothing at all, you're hard bricked (you cant fix it)
You need to buy a new device. Tell verizon you lost it or somebody stole it or something, but DO NOT take it into verizon.

Happened to me too over the weekend. Was playing Greedy Spiders and the phone froze. Rebooted and got the dual core screen twice then kaput. Tried everything and it won't turn on. Did some research and this isn't a one off problem. Took it VZW and they replaced but I have to wait for it to ship. I love how if you are buying the phone, they have them at the store, if you BOUGHT the phone and need it replaced due to warranty you have to wait.

Of course because they make more money that way

Hard bricked HTC one

Hi Guys,
I've done enough research, couldn't really find a legitimate answer. I have a rooted htc one m7 GSM. Rooted with cwm and cm 11 snapshot feb installed. Everything was fine. A few hours ago, I randomly got a "com.google.gapps" has stopped working. I pressed okay and it went away. A few minutes later I got 2-3 of those messages one right after another, and my google applications stopped working. Couldnt send texts, and log on to the play store.
I tried a few fixes and nothing worked. I decided to update my gapps, and while I'm at it install the new cm snapshot from march 17th.
I went into cwm and did wipe davlik and cache partition. Then was installing cwm. It took a while and about halfway through the phone randomly turned off. I knew I had about 50% battery so thats not an issue. I tried turning it back on and it wouldnt. I plugged it into the computer, the computer made the sound as if I plugged something in but nothing populated.
Tried vol up and down, power button alone. Saw a suggestion on here that said to use a bright light under the proximity sensor. Tried that as well.
The phone shows up as "qualcomm" in device manager when plugged in.
I CANNOT take this to HTC or the carrier for many reasons (no it is not stolen lol)
Help?

Unfortunately thats your only option

I'm in Canada. The phone was originally with bell, but I did not buy it from them nor am I on their services currently. Phones boot loader was unlocked and so was its IMEI. Using on a different carrier.
What are my options in terms of htc repair?

S6 edge auto custom binary?

Ok so this s6 i have had for less then 1 month is becoming a huge hassle. First it kept restarting by itself even during bootup. Sent in for repair samsung said nothing was wrng with it and sent it back... Got it back first startup it rebooted... Then after uaing it to 2% i charged it up and booted the phone, got a message "unauthorized att softwsre detected". Went to att they tried to reflash didnt help, told me to go to bestbuy samsung kiosk, they tried to reflash nothing... Told to call samsung and they would fix it, sent it in and they said thwy cant do anything cause its rooted. What can i do? And how did this even happen.

Did you buy it new, or used?

Brand new was orderd from att direct.

I actually have a video of the system saying it was custom then after i rebooted it went back to offical.
Actually starting to think samsung repair rooted the phone cause they couldnt repair it...

I'd contact Samsung again, explain the situation, and see if they'll replace it.

Tried they said cause its rooted they can't even touch it and since its rooted it voids the warranty and any connection to them... like WTF? My friend is on the phone with some manager at samsung right now :/. But my hopes are low. How does a company like this have such retarded policies. They can't even check the phone if its actually rooted...(they said they can't touch it cause the knox counter was tripped) I assume the binary somehow got messed up, hardware related? I bet if they just checked the software it would be official with chunks of code missing or something. I have video proof of it going from custom to official by itself without me having it plugged into anything. I have no clue who i can go to about this issue anymore, Phone is brand new (one month) and im still paying for it under ATT Next program...

Have AT&T check the serial and imei of the phone against your original order. Perhaps you got sent back the wrong phone from the repair depot? AoN

I checked the serial once i recieved it, it was the correct phone. I have video proof of it "rooting" it self. Basically the phone said it was custom then it a d it was offical after i rebooted it.(of course this was taken in two videos but u can see the time so no tampering could have occured.)

So i figured out why it says i have a custom software... The BestBuy Samsung Rep flashed the wrong build to my device. They flashed "G925AUCU1AOE2" which i don't think is released yet or at least not pushed to my device. So any suggestions to what i can do? They cased my warranty to be voided and i still have the restarting issues.

Nexus 6 (rooted, stock rom) won't turn on anymore. Please help

Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing a pretty tough issue mith my beloved (and, so far, flawless) Nexus 6. It had root and a stock rom on it, 6.0.1 (MMB29V). I had unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone right after buying it more than a year ago and I've been flashing new factory images a couple times (specifically when 6.0.0 and 6.0.1 were released). I usually do everything via Wugfresh's NRT, not because I can't use adb and fastboot, just because it works fine and I'm lazy.
Yesterday, while I was working, I used "Tiny Scanner Pro" to scan a document (legit copy bought on the store, as any other premium app in my phone) and it got stuck for a while, then a popup about Google Play Services came up. I dismissed it and another appeared, and it kept going like that. I was at a client's and I was in a hurry, so I took the pic with my tablet and forced the phone off. Later I turned it on, it seemed to boot regularly, but when the SIM unlock screen appeared and I entered the (right!) PIN, it said that no SIM was found, then the home screen appeared but after a while the screen went black and it started rebooting. Recovery (TWRP) and fastboot were working, so I decided to take it home and re-flash the stock rom: it had been a while since the last time anyway, a new version was out and the OTA update notification was getting annoying. I connected to my PC in recovery mode and transfered my pics and data via adb while I downloaded the latest stock rom (6.0.1 MOB30D). Then I user NRT to flash it (selecting "Soft-bricked/Bootloop" as current status). It appeared to work fine as it went through the usual copying and unpacking. Then, when the phone was supposed to reboot, it just blacked out. I waited a long time, in fact I went out and came back a few hours later, and it was still that way. Now it doesn't power up, no matter how long or hard I press any combination of the three buttons, adb and fastboot do not detect it in any way, of course, and it doesn't seem to charge either (i.e. I left it plugged to its original charger overnight and it still feels dead cold). By the way, the phone warranty shouldn't have expired, but I'm afraid it wouldn't cover this since it should still have the custom recovery and unlocked bootloader in its comatose body.
I've taken a look at similar threads but none of them describes the very same situation. Is there something, anything I can try to do before giving up? I hope somebody can help me. I thank you all very much in advance.

Bricked!. When the phone is still under warranty send it for repair. Do not use arguments.
Just: phone will not switch on and does not charge.

Because this is a Nexus device, the custom recovery shouldn't affect your warranty. It is however, a moot point. The device is totally dead, and a call to Motorola is in order.

lupusyon, I had a discussion with Google about an 18-month-old Nexus 5 on which the radio had died - the "no SIM found" error that seems very popular. They asked me what I'd done to try to fix it. I told them that I'd tried several different radios, half a dozen different ROMs (not just Google stock), in short I'd messed around with it over a long period (it had been rooted with custom recovery pretty much since I bought it).
Response? No quibbles. "Here's a refurbished N5. Just send the broken one back in the enclosed pre-addressed pre-paid bag."
Go for it...

I bought it on Amazon Italy Marketplace, I'm not sure if they're supposed to handle the thing or if I should contact Motorola. I'll just check with them first. Thank you everybody for the kind advice, I'll let you know how this turns out. :good:

I confirm what dahawthorne wrote above: it took them about a month but Motorola repaired my Nexus under warranty, no questions asked. It seems they replaced the Mainboard PCB.
Thanks everybody!

i just got my second warranty replacement device TODAY(I am grandfathered into the original $10 per month Jump!/insurance program)
the first time was back in Oct, the G4 went into bootloop and would not fully power on. would at most show the LG boot logo and then repeat. I had an unlocked bootloader, a custom recovery, and a custom rom in place. there was no physical damage. phone worked fine until the bootloop.
result: tmobile warranty replacement. never heard anything regarding any software modification/rooting/bootloader unlocking.
the second time, phone started acting up and having random reboots and sometimes freezing. then it appeared to be stuck in a bootloop, but would sometimes attempt to load the boot animation, and once or twice actually loaded the custom rom I was running, but would then freeze within minutes of operation. Bootloader was unlocked, custom recovery, custom rom.
This time, because I was able to get it to boot long enough without tinkering with the device at all..... I was able to stay booted long enough to initiate a LGUP .kdz install which returned the device to stock. i was then able to adb reboot bootloader, and oem bootloader lock. so the phone had zero signs of ever being "tampered" with.
of course the thing turned on today while i was in store, loaded up as if it was a fresh install. I assured the customer serice rep that it was having issues, and that I would not be replacing the device under warranty if needn't be.
result: tmobile warranty replacement.
he laughed at me and smiled, as if i were a typical samdung, i mean typical Tmobile customer who didnt know anything abut my device.
