Hello there,
I have the GT-I8190 model. I cant get it to boot from recovery (as the phone is totally bricked). I' ve tried the hard reset method (with the volume buttons etc.) and nothing happened. I have tried the Odin method - nothing there - as well as the flashtool method. The phone is unrooted with no unlocked bootloader.
I know there are a lot of posts refering to this problem, but I have really tried everything.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks a lot,
Maknis.

Try entering fastboot mode and flashing an ftf?
Flashtool should still be able to detect phone ( hopefully) if you get to the sony logo, hard reset it first then follow procedure yada yada....
I know cause yesterday i taught i bricked my XT since i was blocked at the sony logo after not being able to flash a rom but previously formatting /system...
Theoretically at least...
Good luck

anyone in the same situation
If you don't share information forget any help.
"ive got flash tool but think i need the new one as my phone wont flash any roms or kernal but i can get them in flashboot and fastboot mode."
What? If you can enter in these modes, then you should be able to flash the stock rom. Why did you say "my phone wont flash..." Is it special phone?
The rest of your post, Galaxy S3 comparison, 5 hours in sony logo (of course, if you don't flash the stock rom you will be even more than 5 hours...)... is not providing anything for us to help you.
You can try to waste 5 minutes to write down everything you have done, everything you tried, with results... or you can cry during posts and posts because your phone is not working.
Good luck!
From what I understand, he is not sure what version of flashtool to use.
If so, the correct one would be: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162907
- Enter fastboot mode (blue light) and flash a STOCK FTF using flashtool.
Kind regards, Stefan.

hey guys,
I think my phone is bricked . I was trying to install a second rom with the help of Mithun's Rom Switcher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425946) and when I tried to flash it it said no errors BUT when it shutdown the device didn't boot at all.
th thing that DON'T WORK is my display and my LED(it has to become purple before entering recovery), I already tried to connect the phone with flashtool doesn't see my device
the things THAT work are the LED(when I put in charger), hard reset with vibration(power + vol up 10sec) and hard shutdown with vibration(power + vol up 15sec)
please help me get any rom/recovery back
For the record I have a LTE version Xperia Z (C6603)

my communication with flashtool is restored(windows 8 driver reinstall resolved the communication) but I'm still unable to flash something.
Try SUS. You might lose everything but at least your phone will work.
Whoever said it can't rain all the time never went to England.

thx guys I have my phone working again. I used flashtool on an old xp machine and I managed to flash my pac rom again.
Please, guys help me out,
My sga gt-s5830(cooper) bricked i flashed a wrong firmware, (flashed firmware of s5830i on my s5830) it was just an accident one of my frnd gave me zip file to try but when i flashed it bricked my phone, after that i have seen build.prop with my computer it was for s5830i.
Now no boot screen no download mode no recovery mode no splash screen nothing.
But when i try to press vol up vol down power nothing is on the screen but odin detects it but it stucks at setup connection. Tried with different versions of odin and with different computers.
Tried usb jig also but no success.
Please help me guys.
Thanks in advance.
Oh
At first try to "start" the phone... then press the home key and the power key at the same time (10 sec). It's a hard-reset... After this try to reflash the right firmware!
If this don't solve the problem, screw on the ace and remove the logic-board battery for 20 seconds - press some keys to consume the remaining energy, build the battery back in and try again...
Last possibility (i think): buy a new logic-board ...
Good Luck!

Hi guys , I tried to install a custom ROM on my Z1 today , and I did EVERY step correctly.
When I selected reboot system from the recovery menu , the only thing that existed was a black screen
The phone vibrates when holding the power button and there is a red blinking led when I connect it to a charger
Not sure if it is a hard brick , but I would do anything to fix it PLEASE GUYS I NEED YOU !!!!!!!
EDIT: Just noticed that when I connect to PC and do several button combinations a blue LED light turned on
Does it mean that it is some kind of soft brick ??
Try use flashtool to flash stock ROM, I remember red led means the phone is in the flashmode?
If you hold down voldown and plug into computer start flashtool and try reatore
Soft brick.
Get into flash mode and run flashtool with a legit ftf for your region (check cdf...or is it cda cant remember). If not then any ftf should do it.
Guessing you didn`t unlock your bootloader before you messed around with it?
Thank you very much guys ! I finally flashed stock ROM . I really appreciate your help :')
Thank you

Sadly, you are not alone with this problem. My experience was similar to yours. I solved it by throwing the phone away and buying another. Unfortunately, my second P7 has faulty flash memory and is almost useless. I'm now awaiting the delivery of my third P7. I suggest you buy another and avoid EMUI 3.0. Good luck!

A question? How can you do factory reset through settings when you have a bricked phone? I find this very strange!
If by any chance you still can load the OS, get the quickboot app in the market. It will get you to fastboot and than maybe you can install recovery.
All in all, I still don't understand, is your device bricked (can't load OS, just constant reboots - loops), or you just can' downgrade to EMUI 2.3!
Good luck

To install quickboot you need to load OS which you apparently cannot at the moment. Did you try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/help/stock-recovery-stuck-bootloop-t2875935

I totally bricked the phone ... i wrote in fastboot "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and after that the ph0ne begin to restart in timeless circle .. and still do it ... please help emergency ))
Try the method on the first post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/reverting-emui-3-0-to-2-3-t2934277
I fix it ... turned out i was installed wrong boot.img .. may be of huawei p6 and the stock recovery which installed doesnt work .. now instaled working and everything is ok Thanks 4 wish to help me !
I have a similar/the same issue as some people above described.
I reverted from CWM recovery to stock recovery (same stock recovery img as I used before succesfully). Now the phone can only boot to stock recovery (Reboot system now, Wipe data, Wipe cache, are the only options.
The phone is not detected by adb on that screen, so I can't try to reboot to bootloader using ADB. I also can't get into bootloader from volume button + power, because the phone boots immediately to recovery after I turn it off.
Fortunately I managed to solve it, so for reference:
Remove SD card
Place full (no incremental update) update.APP file on external sd card in /dload folder (B609: https://mega.co.nz/#!akcBCZBJ!4jLhlNsH54H-3DHeK3xPkzT3fWIHBR6QtbOllubdz5Q) using a different device (computer)
insert SD card
turn the phone off from the recovery loop by holding all three buttons (VOL+POW) at the same time. It's a bit tricky, but keep trying until the phone is off
Insert the USB cable in your phone and connect it with your computer (haven't tested if it simply needs power, or an ADB enabled computer)
Then immediately press all three buttons again
You should enter recovery again now, but the phone will immediately start flashing the update.APP ROM.
You will lose all user data though!
same problem here
Hello to all,
I had the same problem that my phone doesn't go on and time after time boot fails,
i read this solution and it works great i am updating my phone.
