[Q] Bricked Android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey
I did something really stupid today, and i am hoping to get some help.
I recently bought an Galaxy S4 replica (gt-i9500), from Mediatek. It was working fine at first and looked like a pretty stable replica but it had some apps and stuff i didnt want so i did a factory reset. After that a Mediatek logo loaded up every time i would turn my phone on, (when i got it it would only display the stock samsung logo). I read a couple of articles on the internet which said you could change that by replacing the boot_logo on (device/media/images) But I accidentally deleted a folder named ''bin''. I had already made a copy of all system directory on my sdcard so i tried moving "bin" back to its place but that didnt work. And now the phone wont turn on at all, it just displays the stupid Mediatek logo.
What can i do? Did i brick my phone?
P.S The phone was rooted with Framaroot.
I was able to get it to Android system recovery and i was wondering if i could install an new rom from the sd card. I dont know what ROM should i choose, will cyanogenmod work on it???? Or if someone could find me an stock ROM for it... Please help me because i dont what to do.

Hard Brick/Usless/Broken Samsung Galaxy Player

Hey Guy's, I have a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 8GB US Model: YP-G1
A while back I rooted it, and I was new to all of it, I downloaded an application called Rom tool box or something like that, I changed the size of the apps,and then changed it back. It told me I had to reboot, so I did. It kept showing the boot animation over and over again.I got tired and used odinto flash it, but I guess I flashed the wrong rom.and it was bricked. So I bought a usb jig. that didnt help,because when it arrived,my device was completely useless. It wouldnt go into recovery mode, or download mode. I don't know what to and I really want to fix it. Please help me thanks

[Q] app changed system files, stuck on bootup

Dear xda forums.
Unortunatedly, this is my first post and i will be asking for help rather than helping :/
So... my father came in a week ago with a chinese android phone that i cant tell what phone it is trying to replicate exactly.... thing is, no matter how much i look for this phone i cant find anything about it, i already searched a lot on how to fix this proble but to no avail...
I can give more details if you need them), but basically this is my problem:
I got a chinese phone that runs on 4.2.2, and after working a lot, i managed to install supersu via framaroot(superuser would not work properly).
Thing is, being the inpatient person i am, before backing up anything, or installing a recovery rom or any costum rom, i decided to check some apps that required root.
I downloaded the app anim mod *root* because i thought it was a good idea to change the animations of my phone
HERES THE PROBLEM i used this app and i could see how it was changing things in my system files, it then asked for a reboot, and now it wont get past the boot animation and it freeses right there, i can enter factory mode(which is in chinese and i did look up for a translation) and recovery mode:
In both modes i was able to reset the phone but the problem is still there, ive literally have been searching whole days now and i am quite frustrated.
My question: what should i do to fix this? i have root but no recovery rom , so is there a way i can install a costunm rom just to try?
If the case is that i changed a system file (animations) how can i change them through my pc? does a reset from the stock recovery reset the system files aswell?
I am new to this, but i am willing to learn and try everything that could fix this.
If anyone wants to help, you can ask me whatever you want, i can upload pictures if you want to help me identify it or the specs i managed to get from factory mode.
the phone says it is an alps model a76, but thi phone is nowhere to be found help me please

[Q] I screwed up!!!

Hi everyone!
After weeks of searching for a solution to my problem I came here as last resort, because if you can't help me, no one can.
I have a Chinese branded phone, HTM H9001, and I screwed up the phone. At the time he can't boot, freezes on the logo.
What I did was put a different build.prop from a custom rom made for this phone, because I was been messing around trying to put a theme.apk working on my phone.
I have made this because my phone could not be recognized by any computer, there for not allowing me to use any software to flash a custom rom, so i try to mod the rom by copy paste and in the process I lost wifi and bluetooth.
Those any one now how to reset the/or a phone by hardware? or now another way to solve my problem?
Best regards.

[q] gti8262 > phone doesn't start

Hi XDA members, I came here because I'm tired and I cant'd do anything more, I need help
Ok so first I had a Samsung Galaxy Core Duos GTI8262, original, no modified, android 4.1.2, everything all right.
Then I starded to try to install a costum ROM with 4.4. I rooted it, and then I found a CMW Recovery and I had installed it via Odin307, but it didn't work because it was not compatible with my phone, it was crashing all the time and the phone used to make noises, like an engine working or something, and then it shuts down. Then after much search I found here in XDA a costum Recovery Based in CMW for my phone, "CMW based Recovery v6.0.4.7".
I installed it via Odin307 under the previous CMW that dint work properly, and finally everething went all right, I installed a ROM with KitCat, then another with Lillicop, etc... then I wanted to try Cynogen, it was in my model devolopment and I installed it, bigger mistake, it didn't recognize SIM card such as Wifi, Bluethoth, etc... no conections. I get tired because with all my Download mode started to get stuck, so, I could not install another ROM, so, angry, I went to based CMW Recovery and I formatted EVERYTHING, until get to the point where there wasn't ANY file in SDCARD0, I tried to make factory Reset, didn't work, so I turn the phone On and the logo "Galaxy Core Duos GTI8262" stays there forever... the phone doesn't start.
THEEN... i downloaded the stock ROM here in XDA to my model (I'm Portuguese (Portugal)), and tried to install it via Odin207. I was waiting that the Download Mode got stucked again but I tried it in the same way, because I didn't knew what to do more. BUT, instead of get stuck, the Download Mode only stays for aprox. 5 seconds, then the phone shuts down... SO > nothing in SDCARD0 (and the CWM Based doesn't have the option to install anything in extSDCard I dont know why...) and Download Mode crashes... without pay nothing, WHAT CAN I DO PEOPLE? :crying:
Please help, sorry my English...
