Pantech Sky Vega a760s Soft Brick - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

my pantech sky vega a760s got soft bricked
here's what happened:
-the phone won't open unless connected to pc
-when connected, it will only go to charging mode
-when i try to enter recovery mode, this shows up:
"your phone will restart due to error occurred while running application "
i cannot access recovery mode, the only thing i can access is the s/w upgrade mode, which i don't know how to use since i'm not korean
and i can't understand pantech's website.
also, when i enter in fastboot mode, all drivers are installed except for a driver named "Android" which is too general for me to manual search (inlcuded an image attachment of the failed driver)
How can I unbrick my phone?
PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

To go into Soft/Ware download mode
1. Turn of phone
2. Simultaneously press: VOLUME UP + MENU + POWER
3. S/W Upgrading will now flash on the screen
To upgrade firmware back to version 1.47, you first need to have the UniUSBdriver installed on your computer.
4. After you have installed the driver, test your phone’s connection to the computer to initially determine all the required drivers were installed properly (this is while your phone is in S/W download mode). But before doing this, make sure that you have activated USB DEBUGGING on your phone.
Code:
>settings
>applications
>development
>usb debugging (must be checked)
5. Using Microsoft Internet Explorer v8 or v9, proceed to this page:
-------------->>> dmfile.isky.co.kr/NewSelfUpgrade/index.html?userid=&hpno
Notice when that page opens, it will prompt you to install ACTIVE X. Allow that installation to proceed.
6. After ACTIVE X has been installed, notice on the left side there is a something like loading prompt. Wait until it gets into blue bar with arrow up phrase noting USB with some Korean characters. Then boot to S/W mode your phone and plug it to your compurer then click the blue bar with arrow up.
7. Clicking the Blue bar with arrow up will turn it into a progressing bar. Notice the characters on top of the progress bar may change and at this point there is communication between the phone and the Sky download site. It may take a few minutes for the phone to establish a download connection between Sky’s services. Once a connection is established, the characters above the progress bar will turn into a progressing percentage bar starting from 1% and ending into 100%.
There will be two phases of the progressing percentage bar. The first phase is downloading the software while the second is loading the v1.47 software into the phone. After the 2nd phase, the phone will automatically reboot. The first phase will depend who slow or fast your internet connection is.
:fingers-crossed: Goodluck :fingers-crossed:

i need help. i just installed uniUSBdriver and it's successful. however, when i connect the phone there is one driver that is unable to install. the driver is just called "android" tried to look everywhere for a manual installer but the name of the driver is too vague to search. can you please help me with this one? it seems like the self upgrade site can't detect the phone without this driver installed.

1. Connect your phone in Fastboot, and when your pc asks for 'Android' drivers, you need to install PDAnet, just google to download it.
2. then to Fastboot, and Install Recovery SWM v6 either normal or touch
3. Then go to Recovery and Install new stock/custom rom from SdCard.
thats all. :fingers-crossed:

Hello Hacker!
I am Zahid Gill and a software engineer by profession. Websites are my speciality. I love android and Korean phones. I have bricked/ unbricked fixed and patched many phone before (but only with XDA's help ) many
While flashing Sky vega 760s it stuck on some point. I waited long enough but thenI had to remove it and.... it was bricked.
I was still able to go to recovery, fastboot and bootloader. I tried wiping /system and others but cwm was not able to.
I tried flashing with offline flasher tool again but it went into red screen on bootloader, like here:
http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/p206x206/26340_10200120329905648_1168156367_n.jpg
NOW, offline flashing stuck on 60%. I am unable to boot the phone in any other mode. Even putting on charging takes phone to this red s/w mode.
Are you able to help me with this? I shall be very thankful.
PS: I had stock ROM 4.1.2 originally updated with no custom tickling.

I have the same problem but a lot of the answers are to re-install stock? Which part don't they understand...it's BRICKED ( and only shows the RED S/W Upgrading symbol) so it's impossible to Flash stock firmware in that state?
