My apologies if this post is already started elsewhere (please guide me there if you can), but it seem the search is not possible today...
I rooted my brand new Vodafone Smart 2 and in order to free some memory I was moving some files from internal to SD card. Noticing a folder in the root called custpack (and thinking it was the specific folder Vodafone used for its teaking) I wanted to play around with it on my computer, but instead of copying it to SD card, I MOVED it... :0 At the first command the screen turned gray and the phone froze. I can turn it off now only by removing the battery. When it starts it can't go pass the android logo (boot image) and the screen turns gray. I know that Power button and Volume Down yield to Recovery menu, but my ROM is branded Vodafone Albania and they have removed that option. All I get is the option for factory reset (or I think that is what "All you data will be lost, Yes/No" means). Accepting that does restart the phone but still the same logo and gray screen afterwards.
Unfortunately, I can't install from SD due to this branded Vodafone AL ROM I have, and adb device command at the command prompt (DOS) does not recognize the phone (it did recognize before as I have the drivers loaded and Android SDK Tools).
Can someone help me either bringing the Recovery option to install from SD so I can try a complete flash of the original, or if there is any way I can have the adb recognise the device, or if there is any other way. I found a user here (Voda_Smart_2) that seemed to have the same problem and someone had said could help but only through PM. I tried to reply the thread so I could present my case, but as a newly registered I was not allowed to post on developers forums.
PLEASE HELP ME - For someone who uses a low-end phone like Vodafone Smart II option to buy a new one after ruining a new one is not possible....

Thank you for interest and concern for my situation! I know very well roeddie custom rom for VS2. I have actually installed version 0.9.1 as well as version 0.9.9 to some friends. I have the undestanding that the AIO he uses requires that the phone be recognized by the PC (adb devices does not list anything in my case). However, I'll give it a try and let this forum know if roeddie AIO flasher (OTA update 3) does install without the need for PC to recognize the android phone.
Thanks,
Don

Yes, I still have a problem with my VS2/V860 - stuck at boot logo without fastboot. I can't seem to find a way how to get it recognized. Can you help me? It would be really helpful since now my brother has the same problem after trying to flash latest roeddie mod (June 1, 2013).

tnx in advance!
Vodafone Smart 2 device can't start code 10 error
I have the same problem any help..?
dead battery is the answer
well guys if anyone of you still use this device; a possible fault that causes infinite boot logo screen is dead battery. Actually the controller board of the battery gets shorted causing a stable 1.7v output instead of 3.8~4.2v and refuses to charge even pushing power to it from an external power supply. Thats why the phone stucks on logo; it is the same reaction to connecting the phone to the charger without a battery... what you have to do is to find a used or a new battery (if it's still worth to do so...)

Thanks for the suggestion! It is not a problem of battery, as I have tried with two other batteries from friends' V860. Plus, if it is a board circuit then it does not matter if the we change the battery, unless with 'board' you mean the way batteries are connected inside the battery pack.
Thanks once again! Your answer is much appreciated! Keep them coming if you think about something else. I still have this phone, just for because I like to know what was the problem or how to overcomes such situations in the future.

First of all sorry for my english not good.
Start : with my HD2 have brick after task29 and not success to flash new ROM I'm take USB. cable out and try to open my HD2 in to boot loader by put volum down + power bottom but screen not show any image or 3 color my phone it only long vibration pull battery out waiting 30 minute and put battery in and try to open my phone to boot loader but is same only long vibration.

Any body please help me, I'm love it because now we can run both WM. and Android
Upppp waiting for your help
Did you try a long press of the reset-button?
You could try to put the original Stock Image from HTC onto the root-folder of your SD-Card, rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and Push Vol up + Vol down during start and follow the on-screen instructions if it works.
Otherwise use Search-Function in the forum.

Did you check to make sure your radio version was correct before flashing? This is probably the number one reason for bricking.
Check this thread it may help you if you did the flash properly:

i got same problem now...
no screen, no boot, vol down+ power oso same
no screen just a long vibration
anybody help?
I am using the correct radio so don't tell me I am using a wrong radio or something, I have been flashing for 4 months so I know EXACTLY how to flash.
now i can neither get into tri-color or hard reset so don't tell me to flash or smth like that, just tell me how to recover properly
Don't tell us to use search or something because seems like only 2 of us is encountering this problem in the internet
I'm exactly the same problem as TS coz it juz auto go vibrate when plug in battery
This problem actually started when I flash ROM halfway, it stucked and failed...
the device is already HSPL-ed!!!!
but why the F it cannot get into tri-color bootscreen now?
Also, I have to state that my device already got several problems before, my device was very hard to bootup as it will always stuck at HTC screen w/o red version number at bottom left corner, must keep on removing and reinstall battery and reboot until it can boot, not an issue with rom/radio/sim/sd as I tried flash proper rom and radio and remove sd and SIM.
my device also seems like got problem at the gps chip, because when using it for a few minutes, it will lost signal and never reconnects unless i soft reset, after use gps the device will also use battery VERY FAST(-100mA in standby, from -4mA).
now i cannot flash to stock completely, how do I get warranty it?
at the long vibrate, when i plug in to my pc, it will keep on got usb connected and disconnected sound
and dont know what device is connected as not shown in found new hardware and device manager
I also have been searching all possible keywords about what me and TS encountered but all linked to completely UNRELATED results(like search for long vibrations only link to people asking how to make vibration long and 1st result is this thread)

Yes, you flashed a non tmous stock rom that included a ..51.. radio and it destroyed your phone.
What rom? exact filename please.
thank you so much.
I bricked a Leo with the .51 radio. I think I read that is a European or otherwise foreign radio. Since your ROM has Euro in the name.......

it comes with a version x.xx.51.x radio, and they do Not work on tmous (t mobile us) phones. They kill them
Your phone is dead, sorry. No known fix.
warranty or repair (or JTAG if you are brave and have the money)
a friend of mine bricked his phone. he then tried to microwave it, but that didn't work after that he took a power wire from an old computer, cut it and connected it directly to the phone's parts where the battery would go...this completely f-ed his phone up (he also used a lighter to fake a powersurge of the battery). Then he called htc and a few weeks later he got a new hd2!
GOOD LUCK
lol, he doesnt need to do any of that, its allready as dead as it can be. Loads of epople have had them replaced under warranty with this kind of brick. It wont start, so htc/tmo cant see that its been hacked.
Hi! I understand and realy sad. Somebody know where could I fix it in UK? And how much for this pleasure. Thanks.
i would contact htc, see what they have to say. (dont say you flashed it, it just stopped working")
Hello people, thanks for reading and trying to help in advance hehe
ok here it goes ....
i bought a galaxy tab 10.1v "Australian Vodafone Version" a while back, and since me and other users that own this pices of **** didn't get updates and stuff i decided to "unlock+Root+rom". I did that successfully after following guieds:
unlock :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064793
root+room: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079781
Everything wsa fine and i had the super user and everything, but in the second guide it says it is recomended or something like that to download ROM Manager from the market which i did, and i started the app and and did a backup. My Tab rebooted to a blank screen , i waited for a while but with no luck so i turned off and tried to go to DW mode or recovery mood so i can at least connecte it to odin3 and do something. When press V- + Power theres no DW nor recovery mode all i see is one smmall line on the left top corner that says "Booting Recovery Kernal Image#"
When i plug the usb into my computer nothing happenes no sound , no new device installing no nothin. but since i have been reading alot regarding this issue, i read something about APX mode and NVflash here and many other websites but i followed this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130574
i got my tab connected but i couldn't do NVflash because whenever i do
"--sync" or "nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --go"
i get this :
Nvflash started
rcm version 0X4
Command send failed (usb write failed)
some say that that means the device is locked eventho i pretty sure it not because i had the lock logo. anyway ...
just to answer every possible question in advnce and give more info :
*its a 10.1v "Vodafone Australia Version"
*was working fine after root/rom
*stoped working after using the app "ROM Manager" (i think its not compactible)
* the device on somekinda boot loop, the screen would turn on and off "blank screen with nothing in it no sound also"
* pressing Volum down + Pwer will taking me to a blank screen with one little line that says "Booting Recovery Kernal Image#"
*when i plug the usb to the computer nothing hapenes
* in APX mod is working but i cannot do anytning since the NVflash won't work.
* I followed everything step by step
Does that mean my device is useless ? is there anyway to get it back to life ?
Thank you and sorry for the spilling mistakes as im using a F'ed up keyboard
one more thing i did :
I let the battery drain overnight and pluged charged it again hopeing that will help, the battery logo won't even show up, just a blank screen
thanks

Hi Barry. Welcome to XDA. One quick suggestion: If you want to get help in an enthusiasts forum, don't call the object of everyone's affections a "pices [sic] of ****."
We all understand the stress of having non-responsive electronics; but you'll catch more flies with honey...
***edit. Wrote some stuff for you only to realize that you're on a 10.1v. Not sure how I missed that in your title (and thus, I suppose I can't comment on whether or not it really is a POS!). Until just now I never realized how different your tab is from the regular 10.1 (guides are much more difficult to follow!) Anyways, I found these threads that might be useful to you:

i apologize for that, but i was referring to my tab only ... anyways
thanks for your reply and for the links you gave me .. but still the biggest problem is i'm unable to connect my tab to odin, and downloading mode and recovery mode are not even there .. theyre all gone, only APX mode is working and even with that, NVflash won't work and i would give me this error
"Nvflash started
rcm version 0X4
Command send failed (usb write failed)"
if i could connect to odin i could actually do something, or even NVflash i could run bootloader and it would install image files and all.
i'm not sure if i can do anything with APX other than NVflash .. or if i could somehow bypass Nvflash error ..
i just have a feeling that my tab won't make it
Just an idea... did you try to do the work with another pc?
For example a fresh XP 32bit install on another pc.
This "usb write error" seems strange.

When i charged it after i drained the battery, the screen light will turn on but no battery logo or anything.. The only thing that would show up on the screen is when i try to enter downloading mod/recovery mod by pressing power+volume is a little line on the top right corner which says : " booting recovery image# "
thank you for your reply, what do you guys recommend since i can access APX mod, will i be able to do anthing other than nvflash in APX mod?
Since you are getting a usb write error as well as no charge indicator, is it possible that your USB cable is bad?

thanks for your reply
when i charge, the tablet does charge but no Battery logo, i can tell its charging because the screen lights will go on.
what i have tried so far :
* installed APX but when i try to nvflash it says something like writing failed
* tried both windows XP and windows 7
* drained the battery twice for 2 days
* changed USB cable
* tried to connect it to different versions on odin but computer only recognise the device in APX mode
* device still showing ( booting recovery kernel image#) when a try to access DW mod.
it all started when i used a backup program after rooting it, i don't get .. is its a backup it shouldn't delete everything (the system) and brick the tablet...
whats Kernel ? << noob
any new ideas guys ? is there any other programs/methods out there ?
anyone have the same problem ?

When it says booting recovery kernel image, did you try to just wait for about 15 to 20 minutes to find out if it boots again, or try logcat command?

** update **
Today i disassembled my tab after i read somewhere in this forum that i might get it back if i take the battery out or unplug the screen cables. Some claim that the touch screen could cause the tab to go into a boot loop; however that didn't work
i decided anyway to buy a new tab either Asus Transformer or Galaxy 8.9, even tho I'm kinda worried that this thing could happen to my new tab when i try to root it and install roms. I don't want to spend that much money until i figure out the problem, so i'm making this tablet "A testing Device" i'm gonna test every possible way to revive it for me and and others. I'll do my best with your help guys to solve this so we can provide help for others.
There was a Guide here in this forum about JTAGing that tablet along with a software that some company use to unbrick devices but i cold not find it, my cousin owns a hardware store and i could use everything i need .. i just need someone to guide me.
Thanks
Sounds like a cool project, sorry it cost so much.
zBarry, You should try this while you can, It sounds simple as it is but it worked for both my tablets that had the 0x4 aka locked bootloader. Sorry if you had already "Lego" lized your tablet into pieces but this may help. :]

As far as I know linux won't help, what % is your tablet charge at? Since you've opened it already why not just de-attach the battery and reattach it back and try to power it directly into fastboot. Normally draining is the same as stopping the flow of current into the tablet. Unlike phones where you can pop out the battery you can't do it to the tab unless you've opened it.
Can you please let me know what steps have you tried so far? Would be nice to know in detailed So I can help you out at best.

i think i have third every possible way out there... and the steps that i did to revive the device your way was :
i taped the power button and left it for like 2 days, then i plugged it to the computer in APX mode to check if its drained or not, but i think it was charging off the computer. So i repeated the first step and left it for 3 days, then plugged it into the socket. after couple of mins the screen turned on, but no logo or anything, just black screen (same issue). i decided to disassemble the device to take the battery out which i did and yet same result. i had hope so i re-did the battery drain thing and left it for a week and when i plugged it i pressed pwr+ vlo + and something.
my tab turns on, but just a black screen it won't that up, and power + volume up will show me a kernel message.
thanks so much, i aprreciate your trying to help any other way you think i should try ?
What sort of kernel message do you get? As far as I know maybe perhaps the contact's arent touching properly? Seems to me you did everything right but when it turns on you don't get the charging icon.
The good part is the display works and atleast you can boot up *Somehow* the bad part is you can't get it into Fastboot mode.
As far as I know the tablet is supposed to light up but have you checked if you get the offline charge icon (That green battery that sits in the middle of the screen and charges?) once you get it to drain/disconnect you should leave it to charge via wall socket for about 5-10secs for that icon to pop up. If you get that icon atleast then you know you are getting somewhere
I wish I had the tablet in hand so I could see what's going on. The whole oceans away solution makes it hard to guess what's happening
i wiped everything including a factory reset then installed liquid rc8 i used correct one for my phone it rebooted but never booted up to the samsung logo doesnt seem to vibrate or anything when i press power wtf?
now when i plug it into pc it shows my external drive then it vanishes then re-appaears and tells me to format it but that doesnt work either
Put in download mode and Odin back to stock.

If you can get back into recovery mode, try reflashing the rom or flashing another rom. I've had cases where a rom just wouldn't work for me (I too, have the AT&T Note). Never had the patience to try to figure out why. I usually try to flash several times (making sure I do a factory wipe) but if it still didn't work, I would just flash another rom.
If you can't get into recovery mode, then you may need to flash a stock rom via ODIN (in download mode) and then start all over from scratch (root the phone, install CMW or TWRP,flash custom rom, etc.). Please search the forums for a stock rom and all the files / instructions on flashing via ODIN if you aren't already familiar with it.
Since your PC recognizes the phone to some degree (it at least recognizes that the phone was connected and interacts with the sd card), it sounds like you have a soft brick which is fixable via one of the methods above. If your phone was hard bricked, then the PC more than likely wouldn't recognize it at all, it would do absolutely nothing and you would basically have a paper weight. It doesn't sound like you have a hard brick.
If anyone else has more insight, please chime in. I'm definitely no expert here.
it wont even light up to samsung logo or even vibrate also the sd is recognised but it randomly connects and disconnects odin does not see phone

Perhaps your cable is defective. All of my cables eventually get to the point where I have to twist them and hold them a certain way to work. When that happens I know it's time to replace the cable. You may just need to use another cable.
no i tried with 2 differnt cables also battery was at like 99% when this happened also windows keeps finding my sd for a moment and then vanishes could this be stuck power button? if so i dont see how i didnt touch power button when it rebooted

Hi there!
This thread is my last hope, so please dont let me down folks...:cyclops:
The story short - one sunny morning i turned on my HTC Nexus One and it got stuck with te X on the screen for about 15 minutes, non of the buttons responded, so i did the first thing that came in my mind - i pulled out the battery. After inserting the battery the phone went full brick, i mean literally, no reaction on anything, even conected to the wall charger, there is no sign of life, no charging LED, nothing. Connected to the PC, it says USB device not recognised.
I dont think this is a hardware proble, the phone workwd fine until this interrupted power on. Phone runned on stock Androud, i have not played aroun with it - no bootloader unlock, no rooting.
I searched the internet for a solution, tried a lot of button combinations like in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069032
but still no luck, i cannot restore or flash it while my PC does not recognise the phone.
Found some info about those Usb Jig things, but they work only on Samsung phones, so, is there a way to force the phone to go in recovery mode, or give any sign of life so i can try to recover it or flash a diferent ROM?
The warranty has ended, so no hope there.
Hope there is a way out of this, and, sory for my bad english. :good:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069032
but still no luck, i cannot restore or flash it while my PC does not recognise the phone.
Found some info about those Usb Jig things, but they work only on Samsung phones, so, is there a way to force the phone to go in recovery mode, or give any sign of life so i can try to recover it or flash a diferent ROM?
The warranty has ended, so no hope there.
Hope there is a way out of this, and, sory for my bad english. :good:

Well no, bricked is a term used when you are rooted and flash a bad rom,kernel,etc. You have no root, so you cannot be "bricked". Just a software failure, you cannot flash another rom because, again, you have no root or custom recovery. Your best bet is trying to send it back to your carrier and get it replaced

The warranty time is out, so there is no help from the carrier, unless for cash...
But there must be a way to bring it back to life.

Now the screen may not show, but try booting into fastboot mode by press and hold the Trackball+Power buttons together.
I'm not sure about the nexus one, but newer nexus devices have factory images, supplied by Google. If they exist for the nexus one, you should be able to save your device by flashing them through fastboot. That is if the images exist and you can get to fastboot.

Hello everyone in XDA forums ,
I don't really remember what exactly was the thing that I did in which I hard-bricked my Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830i), but it was a combo of rooting and then (OS)s installations... I rooted the phone successfully and as far as I remember I could even flash a KitKat firmware, but then it got bricked at some point after trying to flash some Cyanogenmod firmware [USING ROM MANAGER]... YES, I got to know that it's terrible to use ROM Manager for that purpose on the ACE but that was after I bricked my phone -_- (I still don't know why though; anyways...)
My smartphone is currently hard-bricked, meaning that I can't access download mode, recovery mode, or even fastboot mode; and I can't see a single thing on the screen (not even the Samsung Logo or the so-called "Yellow Triangle" , or even the Android Logo)... The only sign that my phone is still working (AND NOT AT ALL HARDWARE-DAMAGED) is the color of the screen which is (well you can say purple or kinda grey; also known as the background light/brightness)... I've tried the following:
1- All the normal button combos in all possible ways and conditions.
2- The (removing the battery, connecting the device to the PC/Laptop, clicking a button combo, and then inserting the battery while still holding the button combo) method.
3- I even tried the adb method, the SP Flash Tool method, and using a Jig.
So practically my main problem is that my phone can't even get to any mode and that it can't be recognized by any PC/Laptop not even after installing the drivers properly or changing the cables... If I just could get my Laptop to recognize it or even just get to the download mode without even having my Laptop to recognize it, then I'd be easily able to solve the whole problem.
P.S: PLEASE don't tell me that it's hardware-damaged or that I need to go to Samsung, cuz IT IS NOT HARDWARE-DAMAGED AT ALL and under the VERY SAME circumstances many people could unbrick their hard-bricked devices, and one of which is the Samsung Galaxy S3, just because they have an alternative method to boot (including the "booting from SD Card using a debrick image" method); and my warantee is void a VERY LONG time ago, since I bought the phone like 5 years ago.
Even if a software solution is still not known to the community it still is possible to unbrick my phone using a JTAG Repair device.
I really hope that somebody would be able to help me in solving this dilemma with a software method... Thank you anyways, and have a nice day / good night.
Similar brick here on my S5839i. I did something stupid and flashed everything including bootloader from a galaxy Y (S5360).
Now its not responding to any button combos,
When turned on I get a blank screen, then the camera LED blinks and the touch buttons light up and it stays on the blank screen.
If I can just get into download mode somehow it should all be fine.
My last hope now is to try a jig when I get my hands on one.
Also when plugged in, its recognized by windows as BCM21533-Thunderbird
Maybe anyone has been in a similar state and could help please?
Thanks

I try pressing all the switches, tried to boot it to recovery mode, tried to normally boot it but NOTHING WORX!!!!!
"Its a SAMSUNG Phone Model Galaxy Grand2 SM-G7102"
what i did was i already had rooted my phone and already installed Cyanogenmod 12.1 and was working all fine until I thought of completely cleaning my device...
so i boot my phone to recovery mode, wiped dalvik's cache and cache partition and then clicked on wipe data/factory reset. The phone reseted and it showed the boot screen and then it showed optimizing apps and then it got suddenly stuck and switched OFF!!!!
