Hi,
Is there any way to fix a bricked phone ?
Can someone please guide me through this please ?
This is what my hero looks when I turn it on :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ymKG3sLeoI - second 26 , then after 5 seconds,it closes itself(it just shows that image ... not text is displayed )
this is the third thread you are opening about this topic. do you really think that is going somewhere? if someone knew what to do he would have told you already, don't you think?
if you can not boot your phone to anything (recovery, fastboot, hboot...) then it is BRICKED. face the facts, you made a mistake and destroyed your phone. now go buy a new one, or send the old one to htc,
but stop spamming the forum with the same request!
Hey guys,
Long time reader, first time poster. I managed to brick my SGSII, so the little phone/computer icon came up. I put the phone into download mode but Odin doesn't recognise it is there, and that super one click unbrick programme didnt work either. Any ideas?
Much appreciated.
edit: fixed it myself. please delte
How did you solve it?

Probably used the forum Stickies, "Search" function, or "Google".
Should have used it first before panicking and posting another "help. I'm bricked!!" thread.
At least he's sorted, but these type of posts where Users have asked for help, eventually found the answer somewhere else, but not bothered to post their actual fix
My GT-I9100G Can't enter to download and also recovery mode.. Pls help me.. I try already many times .. If another problem is phone doesn't know power when connect to charger...
Most likely going to need to know what it is you did to turn your phone into a paperweight. All not lost yet though tell us what you did and we can tell you the way forward.
N.B this post should really be in Q&A and not in general. There are also many other threads about this. Have a quick search of the Q&A thread see if anything comes up the same. Maybe your answer lays in there.
Good luck
My phone is bricked!
I unlocked using this guide

Which is same as

Using this auto unlocker
http://j.mp/Ate8E5
and I also installed cwa from there
I then installed this rom on my phone and my Phone is now bricked! I can get into recovery and fast boot and all that but the problem now is that the battery is low and Apparently the phone doesn't charge while in recovery mode !?!?!??'. I know for a fact my battery is fine so that is not the issue. When plugged into wall I can turn the phone on but it won't go past the Motorola logo, I can make it go into recovery but as soon as I unplug it, it turns off. When I plug it into laptop it does not turn on so apparently the battery is not charging in this state? If anyone can help me I would really appreciate and would reward some how
Thanks

That's a softbrick. You could try flashing another ROM while plugged in to a charger, or you could charge your battery first with an external charger...

I can't flash another rom because the battery is so dead that it doesn't turn on when plugged into laptop
I can't charge my battery because apparently the battery doesn't charge while in android recovery or on boot logo, and I can't leave the phone off because when ever I plug it in it turns on automatically and gets stuck at he boot logo or goes to recovery if I hold the buttons down. I know for a fact my battery and charger and charging port are perfectly fine because they were working this morning before I started this whole mess that I have been trying to fix for the last 11 hours.... Please help
quetzalcoatl2435 said:
You have to charge your battery first. Either with an external charger, another Atrix phone, or a jumper USB cable. The most important thing is that you said it still boots to recovery/fastboot. That means that it's not a hardbrick. Now you have to get the battery charged and flash another ROM (don't use RSD, just try CM9/MROM/Nottach or something else).

- I don't have another atrix or external charger does android really not allow it to be charged at the boot logo or in recovery? Is there any bypass to allow a charge?
- is there really no other fix for this? You might as well consider this a hard brick
quetzalcoatl2435 said:
- When you plug it in when off, does a battery icon show up? It flickers for a while and then goes blank but it does charge. The kernel does allow charging in recovery/off mode, but from what you've said, you got a bad flash. (Maybe the zip file was corrupt?)
- I haven't seen anyone getting a brick from this ROM per se. There might be some softbricks caused by bad flashes from corrupted zips (or compatibility problems), but as I said those are easily fixed by flashing the proper zip/another ROM, so there are no reasons to pull this release. Besides, this ROM came with a clear warning/disclaimer.
Assuming your phone still goes to recovery/fastboot, the boot.img flashed properly, so try point one above. There's no visual feedback for the charging process (still in the works), so you'll have to leave it plugged in for a while and try again later.
Above all, don't panic. Panicking cause reckless behaviour, reckless behaviour will make things worse.

No the battery logo never shows up,if I plug it in to pc a bright green light comes and the screen never turns on but it is not charging because I left like this for hours and the battery is still dead. If I plug it into a wall outlet the boot logo comes up and I can go into recovery. But still not charging
On a side note I have been looking for pc apps that will increase the USB power to trick my phone into thinking its plugged into a wall outlet "if that's what the issue is. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any
On another side note I'm wondering if I can use a memory card reader to put a stock rom on a micro sd card and flash my phone while it's plugged into a wall outlet through the micro sd card, unless you think the issue is the bootloader and then I ask you two questions. What makes you think it's the bootloade?r and is there any way to fix the bootloader from a Micro sd card or any other fix u can think of?
There is absolutely no charging being done, in pc always off but green light on, in outlet always on won't stay off but doesn't go past boot logo.
Also would like to add that I don't get that "failed to boot" message that is talked about in the other threads so this is a different type of brick
quetzalcoatl2435 said:
I was just about to suggest that. If you can get into recovery, copy the new ROM on your sd card and flash while plugged in.
That should work.
But no stock ROMs, you need RSD to flash those sbf files, and you risk bricking your phone for real. Just download nottachtrix if you want a stock experience.

But if the issue is the bootloader then can I do anything?
Can you link me some known working roms that you would suggest?
quetzalcoatl2435 said:
The recovery you can boot into, is that CWM or stock recovery? Does the phone show "Unlocked" in the top left corner on the red Motorola logo?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes it displays unlocked on the top left corner and the recovery came with the auto unlocker script.
It's called Atrix 4g recovery v4.0.0.2 GOAPK.COM
I got the auto unlocker from here

There's your problem. Use romracer's recovery (cwm). Others have compatibility problems with flashing zip files.

While the battery was still alive I tried two different versions of cwm and I also tried team wins recovery And flashed cm10 with all of them and has same issue
quetzalcoatl2435 said:
Stick with cwm and try another ROM, preferably one based on the old GB kernel. Your phone might be incompatible with this (unfinished) kernel. It's a work in progress, so it's kinda expected. There are a few other people reporting that their phone is unable to boot with this kernel.

I can't get cwm on there now,, fastboot always says not enough battery.....

Try flashing another ROM first. Neutrino CM7 is the smallest, so you can start there.

I posted the issue in that thread 6 hours ago

The thread is in this forum which is why i posted it here and someone deleted all of my posts , why?
This release bricked me who deleted all of my posts!?!?!?
Your posts were HEAVILY off-topic for that thread, and for the development section in general. I suggested that your posts be moved to a separate thread in the appropriate section, but i guess the mods decided to delete them instead. You should have just opened a separate thread in the Q&A section yourself, would have saved some trouble.
This thread will likely be deleted very soon too as it doesn't belong here.

@dk00
Your issue is that you posted for help in a development Thread.
The other issue is that you did not search.
With just a fast look at the general section I found THIS THREAD TO HELP YOU.
I have copied you post to this thread , for your reference.
Please continue your discussion in the help thread.

I know this isn't the right place to post this so excuse me. I have a very serious problem with my redmi note 4, first I was facing battery drain and issues sometimes when the phone shut down completely and the red light blinking I try to fastboot then flash the stock room then root then flash any android room in my choice, I was doing it once then it stucked on fastboot when I took of the usb cable the phone is dead, no redlight blinking not charging, removed the back cover and did the battery trick that disconnect the battery, nothing no response at all. normally when I do this trick the phone boots and I can get to fastboot and do what I mentioned up. I'm very sorry for my english and any help would be very much appreciated.
This IS isn't the right place to post this. Mod, please move this.
