[Q] is it bricking? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys,
i dont know how a bricked phone behaves but i came across a situation where my phone was not able to into either recovery mode or download mode.then what i did was,i removed my sd card and to my surprise i was able to go into only download mode.from there i installed a stock rom nd got my phone back working.can anyone explain what actually happened?

This I'd not bricked phone,a bricked phone will not switch on you only get a flashing led( if you have one).
Chances are it was caught in a boot loop while trying to connect sd card.
As long as you got phone working then all is good

Bricked atrix 4g
I just had similar problems. My battery died and it won't charge after being bricked. I now own an external battery charger for it. I called Motorola and they replaced my phone for free. I was totally honest with the guy on the phone except I didn't tell him I bought it refurbed.
I want to work on a bricked phone but I'm too scared to try to unlock mine again.

[Q] Need help 'unbricking' my Karbonn A21

Hey guys,
First of all I hav to say that this is a gr8 forum... Though this is my first post, i hav been a Guest for a long time...
I recently brought a Karbonn A21... I rooted it using "droidiser micromax-a110-rooted-how-to-guide" because I just could not get the drivers to install properly by following any other guide... And then installed CWM-based Recovery using "droidextra install-clockworkmod-on-karbonn-a21"... And then finally attempted to install DarkBoid ROM by Santo_Rock... I did everything alright... My mistake was that i transferred the .zip file to the ext. sd card and not the internal one... :crying: and then like a smart ass i went ahead wiping data and cache and all without taking backup (Yeah, I know, am a BONEHEAD...:angel: ). Now the phone goes into recovery mode and fastboot mode and even charges but gets stuck at the logo screen while booting normally... I looked around a bit for ideas to fix it but nothing seems to go properly... I would really appreciate some help... Any ideas or suggestions?
Regards,
AKS.
no. There is nothing better. U could do. Cuz there is no PC suite for karbonn. So better option is to take it to the service centre.

HTC Desire S htc logo loop

Hi everyone! have read tonnes of posts on here with this problem but i need a step by step for what i have to do as i find it hard to follow other posts as situations are different.
I unlocked the phone which i assume means its rooted :S
it has twrp or whatever its called and can get into recovery but if i turn it on it just stays on htc logo.
how do i fix/put new rom on it?? trying for about a week now .
It has gingerbread 2.3.5 i think lol
any help GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks:good:
Hello ukgt-l9000... this problem happened even on my phone... what happenes is that you put something in your device that it can't handle so instead of turning on it just freezez on bootlogo.... what you have to do is:
1) the easy way: buy a new phone
2) the complex way do what i tell you to do under...
A) turn off the frozen device
B) find an identical WORKING device
C) install a custom recovery on that device (if it is not already installed)
D) reboot the working device into recovery
E) do a Backup of it on the external SD card and when it is done turn it off
F) get the external SD card and put it in the frozen device
G) turn on the frozen device into recovery and do restore when it finishes your device will work again

[Q] Hard Bricked - Kogan Agora HD HELP!!!

I Recently Rooted my Kogan agora HD and the phone was fine for a few weeks, but yesterday in the after noon just as i tapped on an app e.g. temple run. my phone crashed. I've tried all the normal things but the phone is almost not responding to anything. the phone is exactly the same as the micromax a116. Boot mode, doesn't work so i believe it is completely hard bricked.
CWM?

Are you able to enter recovery mode?
A few days ago, my rooted Samsung S2 running NeatROM crashed and was stuck in a bootloop - for no apparent reason (it was rooted ages ago.. I still don't know what caused the crash).
In the end, I was able to enter recovery mode and by wiping the cache+dalvik and flashing the same ROM I had already been using, I was able to boot back into my phone. If flashing & wiping doesn't work, you might have to do a factory reset and flash the ROM again.
Sadly no...

I Have Tried Boot/recovery Mode but sadly it dosent work, The only way I can Kind of access the phone is by using a Micromax Canvas A116 Flash Program. I pull out the batterie and the computer recognises the phone (but i cant see the files) And I can push files onto the phone.
I dont think the phone is compleatly hardbricked But it is pretty close.
I'm thinking of buying a Micro usb Jack (I think its called that) but im not sure it will work on my phone.
Please Help
Thanks

[Q] [Help me] T110 Bricked (samsung tab 3 lite)

(I'm new to xda forums. So if i do something wrong tell me!)
Hey guys. I'm tom and i have a big problem!
I got home from school today and thought about my rooted tablet. I had cwm on it so i wanted to boot in it with rom manager. Once there i was looking at some things here and there because i had a problem with otg (if this problem is over please help me with that one ;D)
But once i was clear looking through the recovery i selected reboot system to go back. First the t110 samsung thingy came on the screen. But then the screen faded black and 30 seconds later my recovery came back again. This went on and on. Even when selecting turn off in advanced. After taking a break because i downloaded a stock kernel to install i tried again. But then it became even crazier. I can't boot at all, everything is black I can only boot in odin mode. So. Can someone please help me with my bricked tablet. I only have for like 1 month!
P.S Yes. I'm to dump to make a backup (Stupid me )
Edit: I can boot again in cwm! My sd card was out....
Edit: And i can't boot in cwm. Even with sd card in
