I have a question.
I just broke my phone following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702815
I followed every step in this thread, but when I want to power up my phone it doesn't do anything
No vibration, nothing. Volume+ and power button also don't work..
I think I broke my phone...
Is there any way to make my phone work again?
PLEASE HELP!!!
I think you're phone is permanently bricked . You might be able to recover it using ATF (Advance Turbo Flasher) but that requires buying special hardware and soldering it to your mainboard, and I'm pretty sure it would be expensive. If you're still under warranty, you might be able to have it replaced by Nokia.

That's not good :s
I bought the phone from someone else so i think no warranty.
I have to buy a new one i'm afraid.
Thanks for your response!

Maybe it's not to late, bozzy.
You can see if you have warranty just by checking your imei number, if yes just bring it to an ncs point.
Just read this and check your emei on the bottom of the page.

Goodluck
Yeah, I think the warranty might still work. I myself bought my phone from eBay, and I sent it in for repair because the battery cover was getting loose. It hasn't arrived at Nokia's Repair Center yet, but they checked the warranty from the IMEI number and sent me a prepaid shipping label so it looks like they'll accept it.
Mine still had the Qualcomm bootloader when I sent it so I'm not sure if they'll actually repair it, but since yours doesn't boot at all, I'm guessing they'll just flash back to stock without even checking to see if you rooted it or anything. They are supposed to be getting mine on Monday, so I guess I'll post back if they refuse to repair it because the bootloader is modified or because I'm not the original owner.

I don't know what model you would be using in Cambodia, but, like the man says, the wrong radio will brick the phone if it's the wrong one for the model you use.
You still haven't told us the model number.
Even if you live in Cambodia: your phone is bricked, most probably no Software solution
In order of reality:
1st HW solution: Buy a new one
2nd HW solution: Replace motherboard (perhaps not definitive solution)
3rd HW solution: Grab an osciloscope, measure and test the device, find out which chips are done, replace them.
But to be honest: If you cannot send it to HTC or t-mobile for repairs, you have an expensive paperweight. sorry for that mate.
Please note: if you can send it for repairs: chance is this could cost major money: If they find out you HSPL-ed your device, all costs will fall back on you and you will be facing a big bill. If it absolutely does nothing at all, chance is they will replace it free of charge, but absolutely no guarantee this will happen as their diagnostic equipment can see more than you would like...

look here, it will set you back $329, still your phone is probably bricked beyond JTAG's capabilities.
As for your other question: it is a combination of a jig (hardware/box), connector(s) and software.
Also note that if you can access the phone using JTAG, it is still possible you will need other replacement parts to fix it
Problem there: obtain the parts, price of the parts.
I believe you are beter off buying a new one.
BTW: the question about the phone keeps playing up:
a t-mobile HD2 says nothing. t-mobile Europe is completely different from t-mobile US (TMOUS), therefore the repeated question about your phone type.
google "riff jtag" costs about 150 euro, and you will need to dismantle the phone to do it.
on the plus side, if done right it will work, plus once you have a jtag box you can make money fixing other peoples phones. (works with many kinds of phone.)
Thanks all user.

its a tmous, it was already established in another thread, plus only the tmous shows those symptoms when flashing non tmous radios.
Unless you are experienced in this kind of work i would SERIOUSLY recommend you send this away for repair. JTAG route means taking your device apart and soldering, not for the faint hearted!!
There is no software solution, if your device cannot enter bootloader, im afraid its properly bricked!
Use the web to locate nearest repair centre.
Dear PA49
i also in cambodia and faced the same problem as yours.. the damn **** expensive bricked hd2.. i dont know if u have solved your problem.. mine is still waiting for 3 days by a mobile care shop in my home town.,..he charge me 30$
this is my phone number 017 777373
and probably your boot is erased, not a must you have your jtag, you can take it
to a repair shop for dead boot repair/unbrick.

way to go to resurrect a two year old thread
Mods - please move if in incorrect forum.
I was charging my GS3 and after unplugging it, I proceded to turn tethering on, and then put it in my pocket for 5 seconds. I took it out and it had turned off by itself. I cant turn the GS3 back on, either by the power button or using recovery mode. I have tried removing battery for a minute and then holding the power button for 20 seconds but no luck. Nothing at all happens when i plug the charger in, and I have left it in for 30 minutes and the device still wont boot.
Can anybody sugest what I can do to boot the device?
I have had no previous problems like this and im running stock firmware with no root. Im using a mac and not partitioned the drive to install windows and then odin, but I can do so if required.
What firmware are you using in this phone ? (Number if you can find it).
What is the phone ? Galaxy S3 International (GT-I9300) with 16GB inside ?
Perhaps a Sudden Death Symdrom for you with a total death...
Read this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133401
First try another charged battery, yours may have just failed. Also check the battery terminals aren't bent or broken.
If it is still dead with a known good battery then looks like a warranty repair is required.
I cant find out the firmware unless I can get back on the phone :/ Yes its an I9300...
The bttery, I will try and find another GS3 owner but I dont think I can find any. Ill have a look into the thread also thanks for the info

Some device (Galaxy S3 with 16GB of internal storage memory) have a problem with the memory chip. So, if you are running a Jellybean 4.1.2 firmware, samsung have fix the bug and you are cover (so it's not a SDS problem).
But if you phone have an old firmware, you may be affected by this trouble. If it's your case, the unique solution is to put your phone on a repair center.
first, try a different battery. if that fails - send it to service for a motherboard replacement

Ive tried using a different battery and that doesnt seem to work either. The other GS3 works perfectly fine with my battery inside which suggests its a problem with my handset...
How can i find a dealer to send my unit to? I used to flash custom ROMs to the device but went back to stock 7 months ago when I left the UK to travel Australia, and did not reset the binary counter so it wont be covered by warranty
Since its dead they can't see binary counter. Best bet, send it to friend in uk for samsung repair...
I assume you have some sort of electronic copy of a receipt?

Ive currently got my mum looking for the physical receipt. I could try and get an electronic proof of useage from Vodafone who I bought the phone from but problably not a "receipt".
Dont really want t send my phone back to the UK, it wil be expensive and Im not sure when im returning home, so it may be quicker/cheaper to either take home myself or to try get it sorted here :/

If it's a contract phone, contact vodafone directly, probably won't need a receipt.
Is shipping a small package that expensive? Cheaper than a motherboard I bet

Yeah its a contract phone so thats good news
Shipping my phone would be expensive as I would have to have buy insurance, maybe $20 or something?

Cheaper than £150 GBP / $250 AUD for a used motherboard then Which by having it fitted, will void your 2 years EU warranty
Yeah, you are right. I think im just going to wait until I get back to the UK in a few months and send it off. I would get it done when i go to Asia next week but I am not staying in one place long enough - im guessing it would take a few weeks from sending it in to getting it back?
Also, I dropped my phone a few month back and the screen is all damaged but still useable. Samsung will still fix the problem I take it and not refuse to due to the damaged screen?
Hello XDA,
I am in a bit of a sticky position. I have a Sony Xperia Z2 D6503. I purchased the phone from a 3rd party seller on Amazon. The purchase was made around 3 months ago. With the £350 purchase i got standard earphones, charger and original box with the phone. The best thing the phone came with and i assume came with every Sony smartphone is a 2 year warranty.
This warranty entitles me to give the phone back and they repair the problem. Problems only being something i could not have caused, like overheating motherboard.. Or whatever.
The problem i have is my phone wont allow me to use any SIM card. It did when i first got it then after a couple of weeks the phone stopped sending or receiving phone calls and text messages . The weird thing is the 3G internet still works when i have my SIM inserted in the phone.
I obviously got worried and started searching why it happened & how can i possibly fix this. The research i done gave me the conclusion of my phones IMEI is blocked. So straight away i contacted Amazon and they gave the money back and i still have the phone (strangely)
I am now wondering weather i can use my Sony warranty and see if they will repair the phone even though it may be blocked. I have found out that i will not get in trouble as i have legit receipts that show i bought this phone before it was blocked and i have a reasonable reason why i have it.
Would Sony repair or replace my phone even if the IMEI is blocked? Considering the phone is in warranty and i have receipts to prove the purchase.
Please can you give me other possible solutions to this annoying problem.
Kind Regards,
HaroonZ2
I don't see why you shouldn't go for it, the alternative is to end up with an expensive media player.
But hasn't the seller contacted you yet? I find this pretty strange, but there's no reason to have any legal troubles if the third party didn't do anything about it.

The people I bought the phone from stopped replying over Amazon. So as policy amazon had to repay the money. However, they don't care what I do with the phone.
That's what I had in mind. I have a great media player. And £350. But imagine if I had a working sony Z2 and £350. You can't blame me for trying..
Cheers
Go to Sony and tell them about your problem, you've got nothing to lose.
Your point is valid, you've done nothing wrong, and even if they refuse to repair it on warranty, you get to keep the phone.

Have you tried going to Settings> Wireless & Networks > More...> Internet settings (Download settings for internet and MMS). Also SIM cards do fail from time to time. I would get another from your carrier and then check that your APN settings are correct.

Yes, this was one of the many things I have tried. Ive even considered changing the IMEI.. But I won't.
I have ran in to a dead end with this problem.. It seems like there is not much more I can do apart from taking a risk and giving it too Sony.

I have a warranty concern as well, though it isn't an issue with a blocked IMEI.
I tried to pull out the sim tray today and it got stuck and in my frustration (and having no other solution) I used tweezers to pull it forcefully out. Pretty sure it got stuck on the contacts of the MB and bent them, since the tray won't go back in now. Now I can see this as kind of my fault, but not really right? I didn't do anything to make it get stuck and I'm not sure how else I'd have been able to access the sim slot. I obviously won't tell them I forced it out, but any chance they'd fix it on warranty?

Yes that is something you will have to pay for. Like I said, Sons free warranty deal is only applied when the phone has an internal or external fault cased by the phone itself. Something a consumer damaged breaches the Sony warranty. Therefore you would have to pay some fee.
I don't know what you would pay; it may be something like a charge for sony looking at the phone then extra charge for it to be repaired.
Hey guys, I have a 3 day old T-mobile G5 that is sim unlocked and rooted. Phone was working perfect until this afternoon. While playing Hitman:Sniper, a multi-colored band covered the screen as it locked up. I couldn't get it to do anything at that point, so I pulled the battery. I rebooted, locked up, shut down, and now appears to be dead as dead. Nothing I do will get it to power up.
So here's my questions about sending this in to LG for warranty repair.
1. Since it's completely dead (PMIC from what I'm reading), will LG be able to replace that chip, power it up, and realize that the phone was rooted, thereby voiding the warranty? Or will they just trash the main board due to the fact it probably costs about $.03 and pop a new one in?
2. My other concern is sending this in without wiping the data first. Will they be able to pull up all of my personal/private data if they do power it up somehow?
Not sure I have any choice but to take a gamble on this as it's a paperweight at the moment, but just figured someone would have some info on this stuff.
Thanks!

and yes they can tell if its rooted even if it doesn't power on for you. mine bricked and once they hooked it up to diagnostic tool they knew. but i got a good tech and he did a warranty exchange for me
Thanks man. I can't enter any mode at all. This thing is completely dead. Been trying everything I can to get some kind of power out of it.
Guess I just have to send it in and hope for the best? Since I'm on Straight Talk I can't even go to a T-mobile store for repair. Have to deal with LG.
If you are in the USA you possibly (probably) will have lost warranty even though it seems to be a hardware defect. They'll know you unlocked your device because you gave them your device id and imei when you requested the unlock code.
Either way, I'd send it in for a warranty claim. You might get lucky and have it repaired for free. Otherwise they'll tell you the costs for the repair and you can choose whether you want them to repair it or not. Depending on the price, you could let them repair it, go to an unofficial repair shop, or buy a new device (however the latter will almost certainly be the most expensive).
Thanks for all the info W. I don't think sim unlocking the phone would void warranty in any way, so giving them the imei and id shouldn't be an issue. I think. My concern is the unlocking of the bootloader so I could gain root access. That's something they wouldn't possibly be able to know unless the diagnostic equipment detects that like Comp mentioned. Either way, it's looking like my only option here is to send it in for warranty and hope for the best.
Gotta say, I currently have an AT&T G5 in for it's second warranty repair for overheating, and this T-mobile unit bricked after less than 3 days of use. As much as I love the size and design of this phone, I'll be selling both off immediately after repairs are made and finding a different device. Such a bummer.
Hey y'all!
Well I finally did it. I had tons of time on my hands and decided to screw around with my phone. After days of tweaking and messing around I managed to delete the wrong files during a factory reset which bricked my phone. Now even with a full battery none of the buttons work, plugging it in does nothing, and it is as they say a brick. Does anyone know of a jtag service that can work on the LG V10? I have checked some sites out, but so far no luck. Really trying to avoid the enormous deductible for a replacement phone (yes I know my warranty is voided).
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer!
Not sure off hand, these places seem few and far between maybe tray searching "JTAG snapdragon 808" or something like this as opposed to specific to v10
But really if it truly bricked and nothing turns on it is doubtful they will know why it bricked, you could just claim you were updating from ll to mm via official kdz in download mode and everything went blank
Then it's only deductible

Yeah I thought of that, but my deductible is $175 so I was hoping for a jtag at $50 like I have seen on eBay. I just contacted some of them and one got back to me stating that there has not been a jtag release for the V10 and that most new phones probably wont even get them. At least I have insurance. Last time I mod this soon after an update!

The phone should still be under warranty. Just send it to LG. Although, their repair technician's don't seem to be able to repair jack, so you may still be SOL.

Well when you send it in for warranty they give you a new phone. This is what I have considered doing. Just worried they could tell it was rooted.
