You might want to give more information if you want help. There is no way we can truly help without making ASSumptions with what you have provided. You might get bad advice if people make the wrong assumptions about your specific situation.
Have you ever had a successful flash to a non-carrier ROM before?
How did you attempt to flash the Faria ROM?
Are you CID unlocked? And if your answer is yes how did you do it?
What are/were your IPL/SPL?
Did you attempt to flash a bootloader (IPL/SPL)?
Was your battery 100% charged before your attempted flash?
Have you removed and re-inserted the battery and then tried to turn on phone?
Do you have wall charger or just USB charger?

First order of business is to get it booted at least into bootloader.
You are going to need to troubleshoot to see if you have a hardware failure or a battery failure.
Do you know someone else that has a Wizard that might let you use their battery for a couple minutes? If not search the forum for the 9-Volt trick to try and "jump start" the battery. Other than that the only other thing I can think of is to buy a new pre or partially charged battery.
If you can get your phone to at least show some signs of life we can proceed with trying to get it back to a usable state.

i went to a little phone store in town, there the had an other battery, but it didnt help. According to the little chinees guy its a hardware failure. The mainbord has the be replaced. And so he did (20 euro's).. So now my M3000 is turned into a Qtek9100 ipl1.03/spl1.06/gsm01.04.10/os1.3.7.10.
Thnx for the help anyway
well, you can upgrade the qtek alot easier, since its a G3..

Glad to see you got it fixed relatively cheaply. And the new mainboard is a 1.xx G3 so you should be able to CID unlock easily and quickly without having to downgrade first. Then flash your favorite 2.xx carrier rom and off you go into the realm of custom roms
oh men i think you can help me the chinnise guy change your mb at 20 euros???
if this is true where are you from and tellme if you can make me a favour
TRy taking the battery out for a couple minutes... Then re-insert and try turning on, the power light should come on then
Blah nevermind, shoulda kept reading, you fixed it already
no bootmode no on no led is a brick an i need a mother board

what kind of part was it, and where to buy?
I have sold it
so the topic can be closed
(last I had the same thing, but one of the buttons keeps hanging
when I solved that problem, the qtek came back to live (after the rianbow screen)
thanks folks.
The problem: I flashed a radio to my device that is (obviously) incompatible with my device (if you really want the details, its embarassing, but I'll post if necessary). My phone freezes on bootup, and never initializes the Radio/ROM (and for good reason).
This is what happens now: If my phone is off, I can turn it on, but I only get the first boot up screen, and the red numbers in the bottom right-hand corner never appear. At that point, I cannot turn off my phone without taking out the battery. If I take out the battery and put it back in, and attach the phone to a charger (or USB cable), the light on the phone will "breathe", as if its charging. However, if I then disconnect the phone, the light will CONTINUE breathing.
I also cannot turn on the phone while its connected to either the charger or USB cable.
My phone is Hard-SPL'ed and Security Unlocked. But the real issue I'm having is that I can't get into Bootloader to flash something else. Apparently, I've corrupted the Bootloader. When I turn the phone on, and press the reset button while holding Vol-down, the phone just goes black.
I might be okay getting a warranty exchange if not for this: I can still hard reset my phone. It doesn't make any sense to me, but when I turn it on, I can do the soft-reset-button, Vol-down, Action button combo, and my phone flashes through Bootloader to give the the hard reset menu. It flashes that screen just long enough to see that my phone has 1.90Olinex as the SPL. So, I think I may be screwed, unless someone here can help.
My wife is very . . . upset . . . about this, and is worried that we'll have to spend money because of my continuous "tinkering" with my phone.
Any help anyone can offer is greatly appreciated.
I know this is my own stupid fault, and I should've known better, but it would be nice to get confirmation from the experts here that I'm just going to have to chalk one up in the "L" column at this point.
Q
Have you tried to flash from the SD card?
Hi Captain_Throwback,
Try copying Raph Radio 1.11.25.01 to the root of a FAT32 SD Card ... you'll need to rename the .NBH to RAPHIMG.NBH.
Pull the SIM out of the phone and power it back on as per usual; I've noticed that the phone "blacks out" for a bit but then switches to flash mode.
Good luck.
PS: suggest getting the large carry-on with the wheels for the guilt trip - heaven knows it's come in handy for me
That's a bummer, man. You gotta at least 'fess up part of the story to prevent someone else from falling into the same trap (however unlikely that may be). And maybe, just maybe, it will help someone else figure out how to fix your problem.
What radio did you try and flash.
Hopefully it wasn't the new Rhodium radio? Or a Rose radio?
I have done this a few times on my tilt, all I did was put it into the boot loader, it worked from hard reset screen as well, and flashed the rom via activesync. I am assuming that you are not able to get a sync, or have you tried yet? I know my fize will also sync [to flash] from bootloadr.

Damn I'm sorry to hear about your issue and i feel for ya because I did some stupid **** myself a lil' while back if you remember. Your advice to reflash the oem rom worked for me 100%. Have you tried hard resetting and then trying to get into bootloader mode?

Ok, I'll tell you . . . it wasn't a Rose radio (I know P1Tater bricked his phone that way) . . . but I figured, the Rhodium, its got the same hardware, right? I mean, T-Mobile is a GSM carrier . . . If I patch it for Raph, it may work . . . even though the radio number is so much different . . . I should still be able to get into Bootloader if it doesn't work, because I'm HardSPL'ed . . .
But no. I can't get into Bootloader. Believe me, I've tried. Every time I try, the phone just goes black. And I have a nice stock AT&T ROM on my Storage Card ready to flash, if only I could get it onto the phone.
I tried plugging into the computer, but it won't recognize the phone at all.
I wish it was REALLY bricked, but the fact that I can still hard reset it is very disappointing.

This happened to me (sort of.) I flashed a diamond radio to my fuze... without security unlocking it first. Symptom wise, Exact same thing happened. I was able to (after days of tinkering) get it into bootloader from the hard reset screen. I just kept pressing the Hard rest sequence over and over while connected to USB. I noticed, one time, I got the USB at the bottom. Don't know how, don't know why, it just happened, I was then able to flash the Stock Cing ROM. Wierd stuff, But lucky. Hope you get it back on board. Is it insured? Because it would really suck if someone stole your bricked fuze.

It is insured, and paying $125 is better than having to buy a brand new phone, but if I can avoid spending money, my wife would be much happier .
I can hard reset just fine . . . if only the phone would stay on the bootloader screen when doing that . . . but it doesn't. I assume the bootloader has been corrupted, which is why the phone blacks out when trying to enter bootloader mode. I'll keep trying, I guess. I can't make it any worse. Actually, if I could, I'd be better off, so that way they can't find out my phone is Hard-SPL'ed.

Try plugging it into a car battery, or something like that, and fry the sucker. That's my only piece of advice.

You could make it worse if you get the white sticker wet and make it turn pink, but that would be very bad for you.
You are at the point to where you cant move beyond your current predicament in wither way. Im afraid I see no other alternative than to pay the $125.
Maybe you could sell your Fuze on Ebay for 125 to cover your insurance cost and you could make a notation on the Ebay site saying something like 'PARTIALLY USED FUZE' like that Carfax commercial does.
update
My phone is still bricked, but I'm taking it to a repair shop after work, where I'll find out whether I'll be getting a free warranty replacement, or paying $125 for an insurance replacement. At least I've been able to successfully determine that a Rhodium radio cannot be flashed to a Raphael. So no one else has to try it .
Keep us updated dude. Also, if you slip the guy $50 he may do the free warranty replacement for you... it might save you $75 and you wont have to use up one of your insurance claims.

Crap, sorry to hear that. HAAH, just walk into the ATT store and say," I tried turning the phone on and this is what happened." And that you have never heard of XDA forums, roms, and though a radio was only for people in trucks or that wear camo.

That might work, if I hadn't bought the phone from my best friend, who just happens to manage an AT&T store. He actually knows that I had a custom ROM on my phone, and called ahead to the repair shop to let them know I was coming, and he said hopefully they won't notice the SPL in my bootloader if they try and hard reset it. So it is possible they'll just give the phone a cursory look to make sure its really not working, and then go ahead with a warranty replacement. I'll be sure to let everyone know what happens. In the meantime, the word of the day is "dumbass", LOL.

Honestly I would not take it to the repair shop.
Here is what I would do. Call the warranty replacement department at AT&T. 1-800-801-1101. Tell them that you woke up and now your phone won't turn on. Once you go through all the steps they have to do to fix it, then they will ship you a replacement Fuze right away. The refurbished Fuze will have everything except for a battery and a back cover. Typically when I did this I received a new one the next day that I called.
Now take your battery out of your phone and your SIM card and microSD card. Put your phone in the microwave for 2 seconds. Walla. Now it's bricked and AT&T will have no way to tell if you have HardSPL or a cooked ROM on your phone. Trust me. It will work.
When you get your new phone just send the phone back in packing material that they provide to you and you won't have to spend any money to get a new phone or spend money to fix a phone.
Just do what I told you about. I promise it will work. Just trust me. I've done it before and it worked like a charm. No worries. Trust me, I'm not trying to lead you down the wrong path. I'm trying to get you a replacement just like I got when I bricked my last fuze trying out different radios. And use the phone number that AllTheWay posted just above me once you do what I told you.

Agree with this. If your friend works at the store and knows what you have done, I wouldnt go there. Call the number, fry the damn phone and get a new one. We need you back on your feet to help solve ROM issues my friend.
I have been a HD2 and G2 guys so far i learned a few trix and how to flash those
Well i wanted to move to a faster phone and front camera
yesterday i sold me phone and got me a Atrix
figure i get it unlocked and use it in T-mobile
well i got RSD lite and started flashing the stock rom to it.
everything when fine till the end
at the point where it has to reboot. ir didnt do it.
so after waiting for it for a few minutes i try to reboot it and it didnt work
now i think i have bricked it all i get it a
SVF:105.1:2
Failed to boot 0X1000
My question is = is there a way to fix this? or is this a complete hard brick and i should get rid of it.
i payed $175 for it not a scratch or anything on it so the guy told me he only had it for 3 weeks
i knwo if i put it up on ebay i probbaly wont get but $75 or less for it =-\
Thanks in advance
willing to donate if someone can help me
I forgot to mention.
i have try the volume up and power and volume down also
but ti wont let me go to another screen.
Did you flash a froyo sbf over a gingerbread one? If yes, the phone is bricked. Sorry!
When you turn the device on - does it say anything about NV FLASH and then turn off?
From what i got is it was updated.
i was trying to flash the old stock rom
i dont know if it was froyo or gingerbread
NV FLASH yes for a little while like not even a second then it turned it self off
anyways this morning i got up. and now all i got is a green light and nothing else.
i called motorola this morning and they guy that anwered said it had warranty so i sent it in.
maybe when it come's back i take every step needed and be carefull flashing it.
thanks guy for the quick reply
okay, I am seeing this alot, but everyone else unit seems to shut off before anything can happen, mine does not, it simply stays on. That being said, I am conducting an experiment, since my ATRIX was afflicted I baught a new one because I liked the webtop idea, so im charging my new one to 100% and then im going to swap out batteries and check the results. Has anyone seen any evidence at all that might suggest a possible fix? I will update you guys on the results of my experiment once completed, hopefully I can come across something that will lead someone to a fix if not find one myself.
Hi!
I think I hard bricked my Optimus One. I had to recover the original firmware with the KDZ tool and the tool crashed during the installation of the original firmware.
Now my device isn't booting anymore, which means the display remains black, no matter if I try to start the emergency mode or anything else.
Is there anything I can try or should I get myself a new phone for christmas?
Buy yourself a new one

I already looked around a bit and I couldn't find any alternatives to the O1 in the same price segment. I'll try to contact the LG support, maybe they can help me. Because it's chrismas time..
is it in warranty... if it is then go to lg service center and the PCB will be replaced for free...... i had bricked my pone once and got the PCB replaced......
dont tell te service centre people that you used the "KDZ TOOL"..... just tell them that its stop working while official update or say you dont know it just stopped working.....
they will never know what you did to the phone..... believe me..... dont worry....
Yes, that's what I found out after some research too. Thanks for giving me hope

Pardon the pun but I have hit a brick wall with my LG e970. Last night I followed this guide to root and unlock the boot loader and everything appered to go fine. Today I recieved my code to do a sim unlock and, this is where everything sarted to go wrong. After entering the code the phone tried to do an automatic reboot and hung on the LG logo screen. After doing some research and getting the phone into download mode I tried to unbrick it using this guide. After I finished flashing it I tried to reboot and to my dismay nothing happened, I mean nothing. My phone no longer even turns on and when I try to boot into download mode I get a QHSUSB download prompt on my pc. Is my phone toast? Is there any last resort actions I can take? Can anyone tell me what exactly happened?
Thanks in advance for any information.

following your links, your demise was the second guide you used. That guide is for the INTERNATIONAL VERSION of the optimus G, you have the AT&T variant, thus ending up with a nice brick(phones are completely different). Sorry to say but as far as i know there has been no progress on the QHSUSB mode front ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2458139&page=2). Looks like JTAG is your only option right now, might as well google about it.
wow, I'm not quite sure how I feel right now. That's what I get for becoming frustrated and impatient. Should have gone to bed and dealt with it in the morning. What exactly is QHSUSB? Is there any chance this is something at&t would deal with? I would rather pay a repair few then have to buy a new phone.

Don't really know much about QHSUSB, just enough to know that when you get it you are hard bricked. Wouldn't know if at&t would deal with it(if it is under warranty you might as well give it a shot), otherwise go for jtag.

AT&T may try to charge full price if they decide warranty is void, or that could be just a myth. LG has a one year manufacturer warranty, I don't know their policy for covered repairs.
