Hi,
So, I somehow manage to break the button key (it's dead, I also opened the device and there is nothing to fix this), and the device is off, and I'm looking for a way to turn it on without the power key.
I tried to insert the battery while the phone is plugged but it won't help. I also tried to start it from the ADB but for some reason the computer don't read the phone (even in download mode).
What I think might help is to install any rom/kernel that turn on when the phone is plugged to the charger, if you know one that can be installed through the ODIN it might be helpfull.
Any other solution that will work will be good
Thanks

Hi Guys, greetings from India!
I have a E970 which I unfortunately bricked ( in what seems to be a hard brick) during flashing an updated ROM. The phone screen now does not turn on at all, though when I connect it to my computer the power button led flickers on and off, and the PC responds as if a removable device is getting attached to it and being removed in quick succession.
In Device Manager I can see that the phone gets recognized as QHUSB_DLOAD.
When I tried to run the unbrick process via LGNPST, the phone name flashes along with the COM port name in the software, then disappears, and then comes back again. Moreover, the process errors out at 85% but pressing the power button does nothing.
Since the screen does not turn on, I am not sure whether my phone goes into a download mode or not.
So - is the phone recoverable at all or is it all over? Please help.
Thank you.

If device mgr is seeing the phone as qhusb, you done did bricked your phone. You need to jtag it to fix it. Your best bet would be to look into this... http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/lg-optimus-g-jtag-brick-repair/
Hello all, thanks for helping me out.
I did a very foolish thing. I rooted my phone and deleted a few bloatware apps that were apparently very important to the phone's functionality. I did not install any recovery software like CWM, fastboot, or anything. It was a stock phone that I simply rooted to remove a few apps. When I went to restart my phone, I found out that I bricked it. Now my phone will only enter Download Mode if I hold the up+down volume buttons and plug it in, or it will get stuck on the LG logo screen and a Security Error screen. A factory reset with the volume down + power will work, but does nothing to fix it.
My immediate issue is that when I plug my phone into the computer, the phone will recognize it has been plugged into a power source (it will either go into Download Mode if I was hitting the volume up+volume down buttons, or start trying to boot up but cycle through the LG logo screen and Security Error screen) but the computer will not acknowledge that anything has been plugged in. There is nothing new listed in the Device Manager. I have read other threads and searched around on the internet. The usual solutions are not working for me:
I have tried several other cables and computers to no avail. I have also tested my current computer/cable, and it worked for data transfer with another phone (Nexus 4)
I have tried cleaning out the contacts on the phone. They were not significantly dirty.
I have tried installing the drivers from LG and even the UniversalNakedDriver
I believe that if I could get my computer to see my phone, I could flash the stock rom back and restore it to working order via LGNPST. I know it is simply a software issue, because prior to my rooting the phone it was recognized by the computer.
Does anyone have any other solutions I haven't tried? Or is this something I need to go JTAG on?
I have a samsung galaxy s3 i9300! While i was sleeping, i was charging my phone and when i woke up the phone was stuck at the initial logo screen of samsung! Then, i tried to press the home bottom power and volume up bottom to reset while it was doing that it went back again to the logo screen before being able to choose wipe cache and stuff! I tried it several times! Then as i was searching through net i saw that odin thing custom Rom and i thought that maybe i should give it a try! So i tried to installed it by connecting my phone to the laptop but my pc did not identify my phone! Then I tried again by connecting and disconnecting the pc with my phone and while doing so i pushed the button of Repartition at Odin. My phone was not identified so i have no idea if that happened! Now my phone does not even open, or charging! Please tell me if there is a way to make it work again!
It might be of some help to mention that my charger is a new one that i bought from bol.com and its not the original one! I have no idea if that affected somehow the mobile functioning.
No, you are unlikely to fix that. You can try a usb jig, see if download mode will start, but it sounds like partial SDS followed by user panic until it was hard bricked.
If it didnt show in odin you have a driver issue and the repartition wouldn't have happened.
Remove battery, sd and sim. Make sure the battery is charged.
Insert battery and hold home+vol down while pressing power once.
If the screen lights up do not let go of home+vol down until it has entered download mode. If the phone wont light up at this point you have a bigger problem.
Once in download mode install the samsung mobile device drivers on your pc, you might need to try different versions, and plug the phone into the pc's usb on the motherboard. Try to avoid using front mounted or shared ports as they are unreliable. If your phone doesnt interact with your pc try other drivers.

So after playing around with some ROMs, flashes and stuff, I managed to brick my LG Optimus G e970. The phone turns on, but nothing shows on the screen, not even if I try recovery mode. I can prove it turns on because when I plug it in to my computer, it responds to the turning on and off of my phone (checking drivers etc.), but I can't see it in My Computer. It seems the only way I can turn it off is by unplugging the battery. Does this sound like something that could be potentially fixed, or is my phone riparoni? Im going on a trip soon, so I may not be able to try out/reply to answers. Just thought I'd ask and see what pops up. Thanks in advance.

Can you get the phone to boot into download mode? This is accomplished by the by switching the phone off, holding both the up and down volume buttons at the same time and lastly inserting the USB cable into your computer. If you can get there then you should be able to return the phone to stock by using a program called LGNPST. Links to both the stock ROM, and instructions for how to use LGNPST can be found in this forum or you can simply Google it. After restoring to stock you can once again begin the process of rooting and unlocking the boot loader of your phone to install custom ROMs, or you can just stay with the stock AT&T Jellybean ROM if you want.
Your golden same thing happened to me.
Hold the power button for a long time until your 110% sure it's off.
Hold VOLUME DOWN and VOLUME UP and POWER until you see download mode.
Download LGNPST and if you need help finding the proper stock .bin to flash I can help. It's super easy process.
I've tried entering it by holding volume up & volume down & then plugging the phone to a computer to no avail. I've also tried holding up + down + power - still nothing.
Also, the way I got here is I have flashed magisk 24.1 on twrp & rebooted & now I can only restart my phone.
I faced this problem too. Oddly enough, while flashing the ROM the charge state was around 60%, but just before flashing, it suddenly acted as if there was no charge and turned off. When I try to turn on the device, the Samsung (Knox) screen comes up then was suddenly shutting down. I tried VOLUP+VOLDOWN+POWER with USB plugged in. For 1 second, the charging screen was showing and closing. I also plugged the USB-ni and kept it pressed for 2 hours on 3 keys (up+down+power) (I still can't feel my fingers). Then, I unplugged the USB again and tried to enter download mode and it worked. The problem was solved by itself.
POV: device off: hold both volume buttons and connect USB.

Hi BrotherBoard!
Thanks for your help but I actually solved the problem already a while ago but I couldn't find the way to close the thread. Do you happen to know how to do that?

How you solve it?
I have a Galaxy A10 that doesn't go into DOWNLOAD mode too. I tried the HIJACKER program and also the common way which is by holding the volume buttons and connecting the cable. He is TELCEL. Can you let me know if there's anything I can do?
