hey guys, im back, well to those who remembered me here (only few knew me so it wouldn't be a surprise if y'all forgot me) nice, im not gonna make this long so I hard bricked my phone, like it only shows mediatek device, it pops in my computer and it pops right out, idunno, its like that bricked of a phone mine is, it was because of my mistake months ago but I was tired to fix it so I didn't. But now I'm back so I can try to resolve the problem if it can be resolvable.
What I did to my phone before it bricked:
*I tried to downgrade my phone and it failed, it was the right model and when I downgraded it, it failed, my phone's version is 12.5 so....
*Now it shows up to my computer as a mediatek device I forgot since I reformatted my computer and now, its unrecognized soo im going to download some drivers
*Is this even fixable yet, its hard bricked, I can't manually try to magiiically type little characters and swung it back to recovery mode sooo... ya, that's it.
ahhh sht wrong thread, how do I delete this?

i . ll just start from the beginning. i installed a jesus freke ROM on my G1, i dont remember what version. i think it was 1.41 or something like that. (RC29 or RC33, idr). i downloaded an app or maybe it was an app that came with the ROM that let me know of jesus freke's updates. i hadnt checked it awhile as the G1 is not my primary device. when i checked for it last week, it showed an update and i attempted to install it. i completely forgot the procedure for updating a new image and im prretty i bricked it because it wont go past the android screen, even after waiting about 10-15 minutes, it still wont go past it. so my question is, can somebody please help me unbrick my G1? im in no hurry as im not using it on a daily basis, but id like to get this resolved as soon as possible so i can sell my G1. anyways, id appreciate it if someone could help. if so, can you give some detailed instructions as im not TOO familiar with android. i know a little about it, but too much.
thanks guys,
josh.
if you can access recovery mode, just go and reinstall other rom, i recommend cyanogenmod - user friendly and it got a complete guide on there website to install.
youll have to expand on that a little more, like i said, im not that familiar with android.. i dont have an SD card in there, and i suppose that might pose a problem trying to flash another ROM to it.. can you give me some links and some specific directions when you have a chance..? i'd greatly appreciate it.

This right here is why I say don't root if you don't know wtf you're doing. This always happens to people who should have just stayed away. Look:
Power phone completely off. Hold home key and power on. If you get to the recovery screen (the screen with a bunch of options, probably all written in green for you) then you're not bricked. All you need to do is put latest cyanogenmod on your sdcard, wipe your phone, and install it.
Hello
I hope i have posted in the right section and someone can explain too me if this is right or wrong.
I just downloaded the 2.0 version of samsung kies software,when i plugged my phone in it said i could do a firmware upgrade for my phone.
So of course i did so,i first done the backup which was an option in the process.Then pressed ok and it started doing its thing.
Well i left it and came back too see a green android guy on the phone and a message on laptop saying the update had failed and i need too recover the fail by going into emergency firmware recovery mode.
I did this(pressed yes) and it started doing its thing again and rebooted the phone,after it had done it said too disconnect and reconnect my usb cable which i did and the phone was back running again.
The question i have is what basically just happened?
I presume it was a fail on the firmware update since thats what it told me but on checking my stats it had done what it said it was going too and thats upgrade from CSC: JP5 to CSC: JP6.
So it said it failed but on the samsung kies software it now says the csc JP6 and i cant update any firther.
Im sorry i should maybe of checked the code better too be honest i didnt check the full version upgrade, i just thought ok firmware upgrade yup ill do that and flicked through the yes options til the upgrade started.
Thanks for any replies.I have a untouched samsung galaxy S by the way,i not done anything too it except installed apps and games.So no roms,no lag fix,no hacks at all.
Its been a coupleof days now since my post so hope its ok too comment in it again so maybe i can get some help.
Im not sure if my first post explained itself enough so if anyone has any questions i will be happy too answer them.I dont know if my phone will be affected long term but the fail or not.
Csc..what is this why had the software felt it needed too be changed from 5 to 6 ?
the fact it said it failed yet on checking i cannot update again and it has in fact changed from 5 to 6 as it said it would.All my added shortcuts on home screens went but the files stayed.
csc....has anyone also got the changed firmware like i have and gone through the failure too get it.
Im trying too add my own questions in the hope someone has some answers since i see many questions get answered in this section within no time,but mine seems too of stumped some.
thanks for replies guys it will settle my mind and i will of course try too find my own answers and if all else fails i will contact samsung and ask them what went wrong.
Hi,
I installed Kies today and connected my girlfriends cellphone, a Samsung Champ Duos (don't know if it's a phone only for the Philippino market)... Same here, started up first time and Kies prompted me to update the phone's firmware. I followed the steps, something went wrong and I was told to perform an emergency recovery.
I tried, but after 63% an error message appear telling me that something went wrong and "if the problem persists please contact support centre".
I've tried the recovery process maybe 20 times now and same every time. I have already sent an email to the support, but hoping someone here knows how to fix this in the meantime.
Thanks in advance!
Not sure Kies can be unreliable...
Have you tried another computer?
Try the recovery again but hold the usb cable in place, it may have a loose connection
Either way support should answer you shortly and they will sort it out, as it should be under warranty and kies messed it up. They will probably tell you to find your nearest service centre...
@Caz2k11 if you ever read this again and still haven't got your answer, it shouldn't have affected you that there was a problem installing in the first place.
CSC - there is a sticky on the the general section that describes most of this stuff but in brief i think its either country specific code or country service code, something like that. Really its only important if you have problems downloading things from the market, or reception/data related issues. Usually carrier related... Its worth checking you have the correct one when you update as it saves you from changing it later which results in a factory reset.
Ahh damn it...
Got a reply from their support this morning. They apologized and told me I have to send the phone to my nearest service centre. Great for me living in the province and I'll bet the closest service centre is located in Manila....
Does anyone know if the *original rom* is available somewhere on the internet?
Most of us do not use kies to update
You can fiind the latest original ROMs at samfirmware.com

I'm running Andriod on my HTC Leo as well, but this is my girlsfriends phone, still warranty so I'll be a bit careful at the moment.
Have registered on the site mentioned above, not sure which file I'm going to use or anything, since I cannot start the phone to see the current firmware etc. The model no. is GT-E2652W and "SSN" is "E2652WGSMH", does that mean it's a E-series phone?
It means a few things ...
First of all, you are totaly at the wrong place since this forum section is for Samsung Galaxy S, and you Champ Duo , well, isn't a Galaxy S !
Second thing is that this forum, as well as samfirmware, deal mostly with Android phones, which your isn't, I believe. It does somehow look like, but isn't.
Sorry I can't help more

Yes, I'm awared of that. Found this thread when I Google-searched "samsung emergency recovery".
Sure, no arm done, it's just that non android phone have a different way to recover. I did a couple of googling too, but must admit I did not find a great deal of information either,
Sorry and best of luck for bringing your device back to happiness.

Hello Everybody!
So, the thing is that I bought a brand new DS7 from ebay recently, and it has Honeycomb in it, but about a week ago things went wrong -actually I'm not sure if it was good before. The tablet does not work on the proper way. First of all, I tried to install iGO on it, but it didn't let me to do it. So I can't install apps. And there are times when I can't connect it to the computer...and etc. I was wondering if it has a proper Honeycomb in it...so the point is that I decided to delete everything from it and reinstall the Honeycomb myself. I'm not very into these things, so it's a big effort for me to do this.
I have been searching for tutorials for 2 days. I think I found the right one somewhere here on this website. I've closed it unfortunately and it was opened yesterday and I cleared yesterday's history for some other reasons...so I can't open it again.
So the last time everything was ready, so was I, to do the installing. But, the comp. was searching for some APX files, probably drivers, but it didn't find it. So I couldn't continue the installation.
I've been looking for these drivers for hours, but haven't found anything. So I decided to register to this site, ask you, experts where to seek and what to do.
I lost so much time on this that I shouldn't have...
Thanks for your help in advance!
(Sorry for my English if it isn't understandable everywhere, I'm a non-native-speaker. Cheers! )
Now I'm about to restore the whole device following this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011654) tutorial. Hope it'll solve some of the problems.

Dude, try not to dobblepost. Its quite better when you edit the first one.
(By the way im not a native english speaker to but i hope you understand what i mean)
Could you write down how far you come. At which step do you stop? And if the drivers are a problem, please post your Computer OS, like Windows or Linux or Mac.
I have solved the problem. Should I delete this thread somehow?

No, you should post your solution in this thread. If someone has the same problem they may do a search and find this thread, and they can learn from you. Or if the solution was in another thread, post a link to that thread.
hah, okay The reason I didn't want to is because I think it's not a big deal. I have pushed the volume + and the Turn Off button then Factory Reset, and waited. Now everything's fine. The problem was, actually that I'd been doing...rather trying the reseting in a wrong way. I thought I should do it in the Settings/Privacy menu. But no. So It solved my problems. I didn't need to re-install Honeycomb as I'd thought the time I started this thread. I believed that the problem is in my HC, but fortunately no, so I'm going to sleep. Minden jót, srácok!

Lets hope you haven't hard bricked it like I did. Are you not able to get anything on the screen at all? Does PC Odin show a cable connection when you connect your phone to your PC via data cable?
Not sure what exactly do you mean by phone starting with no visuals. How do you know it's starting up if you can't see anything ?
Anyway, check if you can enter download mode again - power+home+vol.down. Even without screen, after that press volume up to continue - if it works, Odin should detect your phone. If it does, just flash it again. Probably just a bad/unfinished flash.

Or you could try a USB JIG if that doesn't work.
Moved To Q&A
Please post questions in the Q&A section
Ahem. Read guys. He said he gave it to vodafone for service.
OP just wants a hint at what might be wrong with it.
screen gone black
cheers guys.to answer some of the questions.first it still detects in odin and i have tried or roms or updates.still not working.2.you can hear the start music when i power on.then the screen is just black.
So i have a Moto g xt1072 wich i got second hand.. i got it into recovery mode and eventually got it working, but it was really unstable, so i wanted to reflash the stock rom, because it looked like the current one on the phone was corrupted (i was running android 6.0) (btw i have a xt1068 as my daily driver, but i want this to work again)
So i started flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-lte/general/stock-6-0-marshmallow-europe-reteu-t3338075 <-this
but i had errors and it was failing multiple times.. so i looked up some tutorials, and most of them were unlocking the bootloader at the beginning, so i was unlocking and locking the bootloader trying to get the commands to work,
then i found a tutorial wich coppyd all of the commands at once, so i tried that.. screen went black..
Wont boot into recovery, 3sec method or 120 sec method, and connects to my pc as QHSUSB_BULK
luckily i made a picture of the recovery when i tried to flash:
http://imgur.com/8avCk3T
I think i may need to blank flash, but im not certain..
I would also like to find the firmware for this phone that wont brick it..
Can anyone help?
Need more info?
Please just ask me, i will respond immediately
i dont care what i need to do.. even if i need to hardwire (because im really good at those finicky things)
Thanks for reading XD

okay, so there are different types of hardbricks, all act the same, but one is harder to unbrick than the other, there is qh usb bulk and qhas bulk with numbers behind it, search for force unbrick lg g2,
now the problem is, it should be easy to unbrick the phone at thsi point, but im not an expert in that and have no idea what to do now xD so i posted it on xda, but no one answered me.. xD hopefully this clears it up some more

So that link to another thread in XDA forum, I think I had a similar experience. I too have the XT1072 as I live in the UK. now here on XDA you have to be careful and ask 3 4 maybe 5 times before someone listens properly. I know it is hard for the devs with so many dumb noobs asking so many dumb questions, I include myself as a noob so no worries. Anyway to get to the point that link is not referring to our phone the XT1072. You should ignore LTE in your search criteria, it will always point you towards the 2015 model and believe you me all roms in my experience area very device specific. You need to simply put Moto G 2nd gen 2014 in search criteria when it comes to searching for custom recoverys and/or stock ROMS. The Titan.IMG is always a safe bet if I remember correctly, dont take my word for it, I have been known to have a memory like a sieve now and again, the problem with getting older, cache gets smaller and smaller, lol! Best of luck!

Read the beginning on this article: http://rootmyandroid.org/how-to-unbrick-your-android-device-the-ultimate-guide.html/
the bricked term is a common misconception for phones that still turn on..
