How to Unbrick

I think I bricked my phone and it is not turning on. I can see the LG logo coming up on the screen but it doesn't go beyond that.

I see some small error message on the Top left corner of the LG Logo screen. Once the that screen is off I see Blue and Red LED light blinking.

Someone please help me.

dell venue 7 (retail) unbrick?

tried to post in the venue area but got a pop up saying i had to post here. so, heres the situation.

i have a retail dell venue 7, i dont know the model as i cant boot in to it (thus the problem) i did "not" try to root the device, 1.5 years old, checked some messages, locked it, came back later, it wouldnt unlock, did a hard shut down, went to start it up and it just sits at the dell logo. so heres what ive tried so far.

1. if i power on i get a quick USB logo flash.
2. if i power on with usb cable hooked to pc the USB logo stays on the screen.
3. if i go in to droid boot and try recovery it reboots to the dell logo and just sits there.

im legally blind and am having a bit of trouble getting around here but ive tried the "IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015"
using the above, if i boot in to droid boot it shows up as "android phone" i have to install the adb driver each and every time (windows 8.1) i dont mind that. the above sees the tablet and even issues commands. the tablet reboots and i get a logo with a hat, but it goes no further. if i hold power up and connect to the pc it shows up as a "CloverviewPlus Device" under intel Soc.

this is what "IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015" shows when i try to do a "5 cwm" then a "T3"

at which point the tablet reboots, but just sits there with that hat thing.
i dont care if i loose data, id just like to get this tablet back in working order. unfortunitly i have no idea how to do that. im comfortable with the command line but may need a bit of hand holding (i.e. step by steps, ive looked at the wiki but i cant figure it out sadly)

[Q] How to unbrick? Keeps getting "failed" on odin and unable to to wipe Data using T

HI,

So yesterday after a security update, my note 2 stuck at boot logo "samsung." I tried to clear cache using TWRP but keeps getting FAILED to wipe, unable to recognizes SD card. I can boot into download mode and TWRP no problem. How can If ix this? I'm also getting unable to mount storage in TWRP and failed to flash using ODin.

Thanks and sorry for bad English.

Is my phone bricked? Can I unbrick it?

Hi!
My phone's got a problem.
If I press the power button it's going to start, but keep to stay in loop in the startup animation until the battery is over. And it goes in overheat... it's almost impossible to keep your hand over the phone for more than 1 minute.
If I try to charge it, is going to repeat, until the battery goes over again.
If I try to switch it off keeping down the power button, it actually reboot after 20 seconds, but nothing else happen.

If I try to start pressing the VOL - button and the power button (if I can go in recovery mode every problem is solved, I've already got a new rom to install) but nothing happen, and the animation loop starts again 'til battery drain.

Can I do anything or do I have to throw it in the trash bin? :(


Thanks!

[GUIDE] Restoring Stock ROM, Recovery, Unbrick, and Rooting 5.0 on Padfone S

I had stuck on ASUS logo, after I do a lot of researches, a lot of trials and errors for 4 hours. I managed to fix them and I wanted to share how I did here.

Easiest way to root lollipop WW-12.2.2.27
use KingRoot from http://www.kingroot.net/down ,It is android app which will run exploit to root the device successfully.
Not Kingoroot Kingoroot was unable to root. Towelroot v1 works only on Kitkat, but not lollipop.

To boot into fastboot mode
adb reboot bootloader
OR turn off device, press and hold power and volume up, until asus logo appear, and stuck at asus logo, that is fastboot mode, to exit fastboot with buttons, press and hold vol down and power button.

To restore stock recovery and ROM after you install TWRP or CWM, or unbrick device
First, note that stock recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...3&postcount=29, does not work for me (maybe everyone else as well).
I flashed it using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, when I try to boot into recovery using, vol down and power, then select enter recovery, it stucks at asus logo.

First you need to flash TWRP_2.8.7.0.img from http://quarx2k.ru/asus_padfone_s/recovery/

using fastboot flash recovery TWRP_2.8.7.0.img It will show that flashing FAILED (remote: can't flash unsigned image), it fact, it was succeeded, now you can go ahead and boot to recovery.
Note that this version of TWRP, and 2.8.6.0, and CWM cannot successfully flash stock zip ROM, it may show errors, or when you try to boot the device, it will stuck at ASUS logo. But now, we are going to need TWRP_2.8.7.0 to unlock bootloader.

Let's unlock bootloader
simply flash http://quarx2k.ru/asus_padfone_s/CrowLock_RC3.zip with TWRP
You can check bootloader status with fastboot oem device-info"
Before unlock :
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
After unlock
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true

Let's flash stock Kitkat Firmware
You have to unlock bootloader becuase, well it is complicated.
The only TWRP recovery that can successfully flash stock .zip firmware from ASUS is http://datbak.com/links/padfone_s/as...rp_2_7_1_1.img
But this recovery has another bug, if you flash recovery and try to boot to recovery, you will get blank screen, but TWRP is indeed working, you touch the screen and it vibrates back. Anyway you have tofastboot flash recovery asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img because it will be needed later for upgrading Kitkat to Lollipop.
If you don't unlock bootloader, you will not be able to boot into recovery directly without flashing to recovery partition Now let's get into fastboot mode, and fastboot boot asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img, by booting into this recovery directly via fastboot without flashing it first, you will not get black screen bug of this recovery., if you boot to this recovery from recovery partition, you will get black screen as I told previously.
Now let's flash downgrade to 4.4.2 firmware from http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Mob...r-wipedata.zip with TWRP 2.7.1.1.
This is for only WW SKU, not TW SKU. And all userdata will be wiped.
Browse all firmwares and there is TW SKU downgrade here : https://www.asus.com/Phone/PadFone_S...Desk_Download/
Ok, now reboot to system, and yeah, it finally boots now.
The recovery is still TWRP, not stock one, let's upgrade to lollipop and restore stock recovery using TWRP. Simply place http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Mob....2.27-user.zip to root of Internal Memory, unplug usb, press confirmation in notification to begin install lollipop. After device reboot, it will stay blank screen for 5 minutes, don't worry, it is updating to lollipop, after upgrade is done, it will reboot, and recovery will be restored to stock recovery now.
Bootloader is still unlocked.

Another method to root is
fastboot flash recovery asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img (recovery is restored to stock now remember)
then flash https://download.chainfire.eu/696/Su...etrieve_file=1 with TWRP.

To lock bootloader again, boot into fastboot
then fastboot oem reset-dev_info
But I won't recommend you to lock bootloader, you will lose ability to boot to TWRP recovery without replacing stock recovery, unless you are going to send your device to service center and claim warranty.

Could someone make an unbrick image for me? Original link for it is down.

Well, I'm sure getting good at killing this thing.

There used to be an unbrick image up on androidfilehost.com, but the user deleted his account and it is no more. Thus, I'm up the creek ...

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567721355

As you can see, all it does is dump the first 200MB of it to a file, so you don't have to download that if you can give me the image. ;) I really don't want to have to ship this thing back and wait.

You can just cut and paste this into a terminal if that's easier:

mkdir -p /sdcard/Unbrick_Files/;
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/Unbrick_Files/200MB.img bs=4096 count=50000;
busybox gzip /sdcard/Unbrick_Files/*;
mv /sdcard/Unbrick_Files/200MB.img.gz /sdcard/Unbrick_Files/Unbrick_IMG.gz;
chmod -R 777 /sdcard/Unbrick_Files

This time I'll put it on my google drive and androidfilehost. ;)

Much appreciated. This thing really should be available for everyone.

Bricked Huawei HiSilicon phones - Honor P6, Mate, 4C etc... way to unbrick???

Hi people.
I have new bricked Huawei Honor 4c with HiSilicon Kirin 620 octacore (Hi6620) Hardly bricked.
I`ve unlocked bootloader and custom recovery used to flash it with my own update.zip from other phone (with LTE support). At the end of flashing - it turned off and bricked.
BUT! After connecting to PC via USB it flashes GREEN and RED leds a few times and after windows determines it as a device with USB\VID_12D1&PID_3609&REV_0000 and named as 䕇䕎䥎 ㄰㌲㔴㜶㤸 .
It is Huawei`s VID. And after a lot of search I found a driver for it - and device became HUAWEI USB-COM 1.0. But nothing else.
No flash utility, nothing. HiSilicon-IDT for K3 processor doesn`t work.

After another searches I found very similar device - it`s named HiKey board. Based on Hisilicon Kirin processor too https://www.96boards.org/.

Quote:

This board is base around the HiSilicon Kirin 6220 eight-core ARM Cortex-A53 64-bit SoC running at 1.2GHz and delivering over 10,000 Dhrystone VAX MIPS total performance. The SoC also delivers high performance 3D graphics support with its ARM Mali 450-MP4 GPU. 1GB 800MHz LPDDR3 DRAM, 4GB eMMC Flash Storage and the standard 96Boards microSD v3.0 socket provide high performance. Flexible storage options and connectivity are available through 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, three high speed USB 2.0 ports (1 OTG), an HDMI 1.3 1080p video output with audio, and Maker, DSI display and CSI camera interfaces. The board is the standard 96Boards credit-card form factor powered by an 8-18V DC 2A power supply.

As we can see - it is very close to ours phone.
It is fully documented and has a lot of spec about proc and other.
And in it`s manual written about recovery procedure after damage of ROM - when device is powered on - it is in "download mode" for 90 seconds - abslolutly like mine phone - after 90 second it turns off from windows.
In short - it is ability to write 2 fastboot images (fastboot1.img and fastboot2.img) in RAM, launch them and using fastboot command flash images to eMMC. They use SERIAL COM PORT to manipulate with device.
It uses utility called "hisi-idt.py" - it is a python script for Linux based machines.
I`ve Installed Linux Mint and try it.
And I`ve some result - first image is going fine and I receive "Done"
But second image is always "Failed". And fastboot command "fastboot devices" do not list any devices.
Viewing binaries from my ROM (Fastboot.img and Fastboot1.img) in HEX - I can see load addresses to ROM are the same as in python script. It is 0xf9800800 and 0x0700000 for both images.
But.... have no success. It looks like I`m close to the goal.
Any ideas?
