My phone is bricked!
I unlocked using this guide

Which is same as

Using this auto unlocker
http://j.mp/Ate8E5
and I also installed cwa from there
I then installed this rom on my phone and my Phone is now bricked! I can get into recovery and fast boot and all that but the problem now is that the battery is low and Apparently the phone doesn't charge while in recovery mode !?!?!??'. I know for a fact my battery is fine so that is not the issue. When plugged into wall I can turn the phone on but it won't go past the Motorola logo, I can make it go into recovery but as soon as I unplug it, it turns off. When I plug it into laptop it does not turn on so apparently the battery is not charging in this state? If anyone can help me I would really appreciate and would reward some how
Thanks

That's a softbrick. You could try flashing another ROM while plugged in to a charger, or you could charge your battery first with an external charger...

I can't flash another rom because the battery is so dead that it doesn't turn on when plugged into laptop
I can't charge my battery because apparently the battery doesn't charge while in android recovery or on boot logo, and I can't leave the phone off because when ever I plug it in it turns on automatically and gets stuck at he boot logo or goes to recovery if I hold the buttons down. I know for a fact my battery and charger and charging port are perfectly fine because they were working this morning before I started this whole mess that I have been trying to fix for the last 11 hours.... Please help
quetzalcoatl2435 said:
You have to charge your battery first. Either with an external charger, another Atrix phone, or a jumper USB cable. The most important thing is that you said it still boots to recovery/fastboot. That means that it's not a hardbrick. Now you have to get the battery charged and flash another ROM (don't use RSD, just try CM9/MROM/Nottach or something else).
Click to expand...

- I don't have another atrix or external charger does android really not allow it to be charged at the boot logo or in recovery? Is there any bypass to allow a charge?
- is there really no other fix for this? You might as well consider this a hard brick
quetzalcoatl2435 said:
- When you plug it in when off, does a battery icon show up? It flickers for a while and then goes blank but it does charge. The kernel does allow charging in recovery/off mode, but from what you've said, you got a bad flash. (Maybe the zip file was corrupt?)
- I haven't seen anyone getting a brick from this ROM per se. There might be some softbricks caused by bad flashes from corrupted zips (or compatibility problems), but as I said those are easily fixed by flashing the proper zip/another ROM, so there are no reasons to pull this release. Besides, this ROM came with a clear warning/disclaimer.
Assuming your phone still goes to recovery/fastboot, the boot.img flashed properly, so try point one above. There's no visual feedback for the charging process (still in the works), so you'll have to leave it plugged in for a while and try again later.
Above all, don't panic. Panicking cause reckless behaviour, reckless behaviour will make things worse.

No the battery logo never shows up,if I plug it in to pc a bright green light comes and the screen never turns on but it is not charging because I left like this for hours and the battery is still dead. If I plug it into a wall outlet the boot logo comes up and I can go into recovery. But still not charging
On a side note I have been looking for pc apps that will increase the USB power to trick my phone into thinking its plugged into a wall outlet "if that's what the issue is. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any
On another side note I'm wondering if I can use a memory card reader to put a stock rom on a micro sd card and flash my phone while it's plugged into a wall outlet through the micro sd card, unless you think the issue is the bootloader and then I ask you two questions. What makes you think it's the bootloade?r and is there any way to fix the bootloader from a Micro sd card or any other fix u can think of?
There is absolutely no charging being done, in pc always off but green light on, in outlet always on won't stay off but doesn't go past boot logo.
Also would like to add that I don't get that "failed to boot" message that is talked about in the other threads so this is a different type of brick
quetzalcoatl2435 said:
I was just about to suggest that. If you can get into recovery, copy the new ROM on your sd card and flash while plugged in.
That should work.
But no stock ROMs, you need RSD to flash those sbf files, and you risk bricking your phone for real. Just download nottachtrix if you want a stock experience.

But if the issue is the bootloader then can I do anything?
Can you link me some known working roms that you would suggest?
quetzalcoatl2435 said:
The recovery you can boot into, is that CWM or stock recovery? Does the phone show "Unlocked" in the top left corner on the red Motorola logo?
Click to expand...

Yes it displays unlocked on the top left corner and the recovery came with the auto unlocker script.
It's called Atrix 4g recovery v4.0.0.2 GOAPK.COM
I got the auto unlocker from here

There's your problem. Use romracer's recovery (cwm). Others have compatibility problems with flashing zip files.

While the battery was still alive I tried two different versions of cwm and I also tried team wins recovery And flashed cm10 with all of them and has same issue
quetzalcoatl2435 said:
Stick with cwm and try another ROM, preferably one based on the old GB kernel. Your phone might be incompatible with this (unfinished) kernel. It's a work in progress, so it's kinda expected. There are a few other people reporting that their phone is unable to boot with this kernel.

The thread is in this forum which is why i posted it here and someone deleted all of my posts , why?
This release bricked me who deleted all of my posts!?!?!?
Your posts were HEAVILY off-topic for that thread, and for the development section in general. I suggested that your posts be moved to a separate thread in the appropriate section, but i guess the mods decided to delete them instead. You should have just opened a separate thread in the Q&A section yourself, would have saved some trouble.
This thread will likely be deleted very soon too as it doesn't belong here.

I have never bricked it before, and I cannot go into download mode... I tried the the Vol up and vol down, didn't work, so I have been using ADB and just ****ed something up....
Now I need to know a way how I can revert back to stock, please and thank you, I will forever owe you one.
EDIT: Okay there is some confusion, to simplify it I will take it step by step:
I replaced an APK file from my system/apps and ever since it has been force closing process.android.acore, so I tried reflashing to stock, it froze while doing so now I have a picture of a caution sign, a phone and a computer coming up on my Vibrant, it will not start up.
It is hardware locked because I have never been able to access download mode via hardware keys(I have always been using ADB).
Is there any way I can reinstall stock? Or is my vibrant now destroyed?
what exactly were you doing when your phone stopped working? "just ****ed something up" makes it hard to pinpoint problems...
I don't know I replaced my phone.apk with another one then ever since then it keeps saying process.android.acore has stopped working. It wouldn't stop showing up so I tried to reflash with Odin to stock but it froze and now it is bricked.
bumping a little bit, I have never bricked it before so I have 0 experience.
What do you mean by froze? On what screen? How far can you get into booting?

Alright let me start over with more detail:
I tried to replace the dialer so I replaced the phone.apk and then process.android.acore kept force closing so then I tried reflashing with stock, during that I don't know what happened but I think my phone froze, so then it shut off and turned back on, I only found a screen with a computer on it... I am assuming it is bricked.... I also know it is hardware locked because I tried going into debug mode with vol up and vol down, how can I unbrick it?
Try moving the stock rom into the phones internal memory via adb. And flash it after a wipe.
I am Also having this same problem
I Flashed my Vibrant through Rom Manager to Froyo 2.2 from eugene373 and sombionix.
After flashing to both ROMS for Froyo I wanted to revert back to 2.1.
I tried to put sombionix 1.3 eclair ROM back on to my phone using clockwork mod.
The flash was not successful it stopped in the middle but the phone came on with a Force close error of an android process.
I tried to reboot through adb reboot recovery with usb debugging enabled.
The phone shut down like it would reboot into recovery mode and now it gets stuck on boot at the samsung vibrant screen.
I tried to use ODIN to flash back to the stock Rom but the phone is recognized in ODIN but will not flash.
ODIN sees the phone but will not get past flash analysis. (Sat for 8 Hours)
I believe this is the definition of bricked. Please Help!!!!!

Can you get the phone in download mode?
Did you try this:
Pull battery
hold the volume up and down
reinsert the battery whiles still holding down the volume up n down
plug in usb cord
it should put you back in to DL mode
Open ODIN and unplug phone from PC and plug back in hopefully it will notice it then.
I am not sure if you can get in DL mode and it just wont let you do anything, but if you have already tried this my apologies.

Hi all,
I installed a kernel on my phone so that I was able to Root my device.
My phone was booting up and I saw the yellow explenation mark underneath the the Samsung Galaxy S II logo.
There's only one issue, my phone won't start, it freezes at the boot logo and won't do a thing :/
How can I fix this?
It freezes or is it in a bootloop?
If you got into bootloop, check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499

When i hold down home, power, and volume UP the bootup-logo (Samsung galaxy S II ''With Explenation mark) shows up, than dissapears for 1 second than shows itself again and it's just freezes like it did before.
Now I never heard about a Boot Loop but this looks very disturbing.
I need some help with this.
Jeezus Christ, you joined today and already posted in the wrong section, didn't bother to read or search. So on that note I HOPE your device is Bricked just to serve you a purpose of reading before hand.
However since you are unable to read or search, we will treat you like a child. Your device is not bricked. Turn it off, take out battery, unplug from computer. Put back in battery and press volume DOWN, power and home until you get into download mode. Then plug into computer, start odin and either reflash the kernel in PDA box, or flash a stock rom.
Now this is been covered numerous times, so I will ask again to read next time before you post a question that has been answered 10000x times over.
Also if you would have read anything at all, you would know that you will get the yellow triangle when flashing any kernel but a stock on. There is a way to get rid of it, but that requires searching and reading. Something you know nothing about.

Since I don't know the name of this particular issue, I couldn't find it on this website nor on the Internet (wich is obvious). So I started a treath to release my question.
Before claiming and occusing me of something, aks me the questions first.
You're judging a book by it's cover and your arrogance blind you.
But i'm not here to occuse people of something or giving them names etc, I'm here for some serious bussines.
Now...
I saw your answer (possible solution) and I wan't to thank you for this, I will give this a try and keep this treath updated.

You are wrong... step 2 says: Hold down home, power, and volume UP. This will enter recovery mode. If you are using CF-Root, you'll get CWM recovery. If not, you get stock recovery. It doesn't matter which appears.

No it won't go in Recovery mode unfortunately.
I think my phone is bricked as I noticed the ''Phone...!...Computer'' logo when I tried to start it up.
Can happen, now It's just the challenge to find the solution.
Perhaps I should go to the store and tell them if they can help recover it.
If you got any suggestion what I should do it would be wel used.
In the mean time I will earch on the Internet and the forums how to unbrick the phone by myself.
Note - I still can enter Download Mode.

Did you have a custom rom installed before you ended like this?
Did you even try DOWNLOAD MODE? You dont not need recovery. You need download to flash the kernel again or a stock rom.
VOLUME DOWN, HOME, POWER until you see the "downloading, do not turn off"
Then connect to odin and reflash the kernel in PDA

No,
It all happened after I installed a costum-kernel (The one that I need in order to root my phone) I followed the instuructions of a Youtube webpage.
I did root my phone before to try it out and it worked smoothly.
After I realised that I could so much once a SuperUser i wan't it to Root my phone again but it all went wrong when my phone was rebooting after I installed the costum-kernel.
I went into Download mode, I tried to install the latest firmware on my phone, yet it failed to do so, so i plugged out my phone, shut it off, turned it on and all of a sudden I saw the *Phone...!...Computer* logo wich (if i am correct) stands for a (Soft)brick.
I re-installed the costum-kernel and the Brick-Logo isn't visible anymore, but I'm back at the previous problem, The Samsung Boot Logo with Explenation Mark freeze issue.
Once I entered Download mode I noticed that Costum Binary Download is set to (Count 5).
I need a good tutorial how to fix this, I'm quite new with the Android (half a week)
Help is well appreciated.
Just got the phone today. I rooted it, applied CM mod, went back to stock, then tried to install the Energy HD2 mod to check that out. Installation failed and now it will not even start / turn on. I tried putting it into upload mode, download mode, straight up hit power and turn on - and nothing works.
Any recommendations?
EDIT: Why can't I post a reply to someone here? I see no reply box and it says 'You may not post replies' and 'You may not post new threads'?
Try a good old battery pull.

I did; no luck. Left it out a half hour or more. It's fully charged, too.
But AMZ will have a new one to me tomorrow and I'll return the original.

Try to conect via usb and use odin to make it recognized if doesnt, recovery or download mode doesnt run Try vía adb.

You might already know this already but did you do a factory reset, clear cache etc before going back to stock and the new rom?

Yes, I did. Thanks.
First of all, why the f... are u flashing so many roms at [email protected]#$$%€£…
Now the air is clean. Can u get into download mode? If yes,then go to samfirmware.com and register then download LFB rom to your PC and flash it with Odin, then root it with cf-root.
now DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING ELSE FOR 24 HOURS. let the phone settle.and instead read the OP and check screenshots of the different roms and find one. Also check out the "apps & theme" forum and look for suitable theme instead of flashing a full rom.
Ps. If u can't get into "download mode" then order a USB JIG(301 ohms exactly) from ebay.
Good luck.....but stop your flashing mania or your phone is a goner.
EDIT: Pull out your battery for 20 min,put it back then use 3 button combo to get to download mode..
Btw cm7-9-10 is for experienced users not for noobs.

1. I'm not a newb.I've been running CM nightlies for over a year.
2. The feature sets for the roms are different and I don't see why I can't try them. Energy seemed more mature for the S3 and I think I would prefer a stock-based rom that just cut out the bloat.
3. Tried the battery pull thing. Odin did not recognize a device being connected. It was like there was no battery in it at all. The USB JIG idea sounds interesting. NExt time I have an issue, I'll look into that.
4. Thanks for your help but the new phone is here today and the brick goes back.

hi there
hello ^_^ my first post and make sure you leave your phone charging for at least 2 hours and try again because it happened to me too and i panicked
Okay, I've been driving myself crazy trying to find the answer to this little bootloop, and have been all over the place. So I apologize in advance if there is an elusive thread answer to this somewhere...
Here goes:
I downloaded and installed (properly) the [ [ROM] CM9 (ICS) for the Galaxy Player 5.0 USA ] by JackpotClavin. Now normally I would post my issue there, but due to me being a new member, it isn't allowed as you all know. So please bear with me.
Everything works fantastic, until I plug it in when the device is off. Then the screen and buttons light up, it shows the busy signal asterik, and gets to where it would NORMALLY show the battery next, but powers down. Now if I do something that stops the boot loop here (can't remember what right now; no internet at home) then when I plug it in, it actually boots up. But as soon as I unplug it, it kills itself as if it had no battery.
But if I plug in the device when it is already on, then it charges like normal. So I am REALLY confused here.
I already un-bricked it by myself at home when I did something dumb during the ROM restore (CWM). Set it back to stock, and it ran fine. As soon as I switch to the ICS ROM, issues
Now I did a little searching, and in the boot.log it references a "charging_mode_booting" I followed the file path, and found no file there. Now I am aware that I have little (none ) experience in android until now, so that may be normal. I would post the exact log here, but since the device is bootlooping as I type, this will have to wait until I get home again and can troubleshoot
Anyways, I hope I'm not wasting your time. Hope you can help me solve this!
Thank you for your time

Are you charging your device (while it's shut off) via laptop, console, desktop, or anything else besides a wall charger?
Look under your /system/media
There should be a bunch of battery charging files. If they aren't there, find the files from another ROM and move it there.

Ah thanks mate, that's what I did to get it to boot up while plugged in. Then it has the error here that if I unplug it, whole device shuts off as if the power was the only power source, but will reboot from the battery if I turn it back on.

Hello everyone ,
first thank you for all your developments.
Secondly, excuse my English but I'm Portuguese.
I spent a lot of time to read all the topics related to this problem, and I have too with my Intl Player.
Since I installed the rj 's custom kernel (r14) if my player is turned off, as I branch as a wall charger or on USB in my MacBookPro , I boot loop load as described above.
So I installed a file explorer that allowed me to see that I had none of the files in the directory system / media.
Ok, I installed adb and fastboot on my Mac , and successful (despite the write permissions only one I managed to get around) to copy the files I found there.
I was sure now it was going to fix my problem, but unfortunately, I have always this kind of boot loop charge if my player is turned off.
Apart from that , everything seems to work well , I do not even know if this is really a problem , I did not let my battery run down lest I get stuck . As long as the player stays on, no worries, battery charging well. Of course I did all the basic wipe's (data/factory, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats).
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to give as much information .
If someone has an idea of where it may come again, or at least tell me if it's serious in case my battery is fully discharged .
Thank you ! :good:
Edit : actualy I have installed the [ROM][4.3][YP-G70]CyanogenMod 10.2 - M1 Release whith the KKernel R2.1 by KOala888 (My YP-G70 run super fast...).

The charging mode bootloop has been a problem since the first gingerbread custom kernels and has been a problem up until KitKat. It is solved in KitKat. There is no fixing this problem in pre-KitKat custom roms without recompiling the kernel.
Here is information about the fix:

I have answered this question before. Getting tired of explaining it.

Thanks for your answer. I understand you be tired of answering this problem ... But everything I 've read (and I read for hours and hours , really), I thought it only happened when a USB connection to a computer, not to a wall charging.
If it's just a minor bug and I can use my YP-G70 like that, it's going well, I 'm just afraid to let the battery get to the end and did not do anything. (I also read an old post that says let the battery get to 5% and then moving into CWM mode, and let it discharge completely before reconnecting to a wall charger)...
Last question, is there an kitkat "light" version of that will go as fast as the YP-G70 I installed (4.3) ?, because really outside this bug, all is so good and speed all I 'm doing it (basic use) is really fast.

When I was running pre-KitKat ROMs, I let the battery drain completely a few times. It does charge, when it is bootlooping. I let it bootloop for a while, say 10 mins or so and then disconnected it and started it up. Then plugged it back in and let it charge the rest of the way...

hey all, as you know i was trying to port full sense for desire x dual sim community. ive already searched for custom ROM for desire x dual sim on that Chinese market community web site..no luck there wasn't any full jb sense ROM for dual sim dx.
so i ported it myself and to test it i borrowed dx dual sim from my friend.
so it goes like this. my friends dx dual sim was perfectly stock and n wasn't rooted. this morning i unlocked its boot-loader and it all went so well. within 5 min i unlocked the boot-loader and after that i flashed recovery which i founded in previous threads, it said that the recovery was specially made for desire x dual sim and was posted here on xda from that Chinese forums. anyways i flashed the recovery, it was miui using fast-boot and then i flashed superuser package and rooted the desire x dual sim. it was factory rested and it rebooted i saw superuser in the menu and i was quite happy. but then in order to flash the rom i ported, i had to change the recovery as the miui recovery wasn't taking backups. so i changed my recovery to twrp, made by nexus_prime in a few threads back. i flashed that recovery and everything was good till then. after that when i try taking backups from twrp recovery it says failed. i was sick of trying again and again but no luck, then twrp recovery suggested that i should install super su in order to gain root. i said ok install it and then my device rebooted. i saw super su app there and also not to forget i was already having super user installed cause i was rooted. the super su app wasn't working it said updating binary and then it said failed. i uninstalled it thinking its not gonna work for me. after i uninstalled it, i rebooted my deice to fast-boot in order to change my recovery back to miui.
i powered desire x dual sim off and then boom, **** my damn device is not turning on now, ive already tried looking for solution online and ive already tried changing battery and pulling them off and on but no luck damn it. when connected it shows orange led and then cpu vibrates like 5 times every 3 hours later. it doesn't boot neither it gets into boot-loader.
some body please tell me soon what wrong i did and what am i suppose to do now? and some one (@xpirit) said that desire x dual sim cannot be bricked if its s -on.
what should i do now. ill be in big trouble if my friends find out what happned to his device.
someone pls help me out ASAP.
thank you
Let it charge peacefully for an hour

please i respect youre help but ive already said i aint a battery or charging problem, its annoying to see that kind of solutions - pull battery out, let it charge or unplug and plug it ..etc . all these are really not helping, i think my boot loader or something like that is erased and thats why its happening. i want a fix to the solution, any help is always appreciated, except the stupid battery or charging things.
thanks
lol, you dont even know half of what you are talking about.... you tried to port roms, before even learning rooting and flashing basics, and you tell him his solution is stupid?
Its true, you cant mess up the boot-loader so easily.... its just that you have tried to flash SU binary from TWRP, which is not good.... just boot to recovery, flash a superuser-arm-xyz.zip avaialable on androidsu.com or something, then you will get it booting. Otherwise, if you have mistakenly wiped system partition, then you are out of luck and you will have to take another desire x, root it, take backup, copy it to sdcard and then use it restore system on this phone.
Next time, read read and read more before this kind of experiments.

Yasir
PLEASE, TRY.. to read carefully sir.
i said desire x t328w is completely dead, DEAD. i cant get into recovery not even into boatloadER. nothing happens when i press power button or try to go to the boot loader. its like it has no life. only sign of life it shows is when it is connected to the charger, the orange led lits up and hence and that only thing which changes in this device.
please, if i could go to the recovery id solved this issue by my self rather than troubling you all. ive been searchinh for this kind of problem over the internet some says it cant be repaired by flashing or etc.. some says cpu is faulty etc. i dont know what wrong i did.
also i didnt flash super user via twrp
i flashed it via miui recovery
IN NO WAY I DIS RESPECT ANY DEVELOPER OR ANY USER. I'M ALREADY IN A MESS WANT A GOOD SOLUTION WHICH SHOULD WORK, RATHER THAN CHARGE YOUR DEVICE OR REPLACE THE BATTERY OR ETC.
THANKS

Hmm Yep your Screwed... Looks like it's time to Buy Your Mate a New DesireX
yes, BUY A NEW PHONE (See, i didn't advise to charge battery or something.)
OnTopic:
I happened to have the same issue once on my desire bravo.... and guess what solution fixed it???? (CHARGING IT) coz its battery was SO LOW, whenever i tried to power up, it flashed leds.
Calm down and think, also can you post what you have tried ? Did you let it finish charging ? Tried plugging into pc ? Etc etc, might have to lend your mate your phone ps wtf you testing stuff on your mates phone for ? Best to use your own, if yours is the same take a backup 1st, also dont bother trying recovery go for bootloader 1st once you can get into that rest will be easier, worst case senario you will have to pay someone to fix

Thanks for your sensible answer mate. But I'm afraid you don't know maybe that i cannot access boot loader nor does my phone says a single word. Also I've being charging it for more then 10 hours. Nothing happens when connected to PC. worthless. I'm screwed and i learned a lesson that never to mess around with someone else device even if other says it 'cannot be bricked'.
Thank you all who help and also who really put me this situation.
btw now his desire x is resting at HTC, i don't know what will they say as for now i told them nothing about rooting and all other stuff i tired..

It is common problem with this phone.
Simple cure - pull out the battery and let the phone stay without charger and battery during an hour or two.
Then it will be OK again, but until next power off.
I think the problem is in custom recovery. I have the same problem with friend's phone. But it's working well without power off, so I don't want to mess with it again
Disconnect Phone from charger.
Press the Power button.
Connect the Charger while the button is pressed. Phone should start.
I've done it several times now, main reason being, battery was not having any charge.
Never mind guys it was the motherboard which was really screwed. I don't know what really caused it but the only thing I'm aware of right now is that it'll cost a lot

Yeah they're extortionate prices for HTC's, in the past I've just scrapped phones instead of getting them repaired when they have motherboard or problem relating to charger port.
