I don't really need to search to know , you probably have a soft or hard bricked phone in your hand, let me guess, this started after you flashed a custom ROM to your phone?
no

no no it wasn't custom ROM, that was the official software, is there any way to fix that phone, please?!
ok sorry i see you said FW --firmware update. I was at work, and your situation sounded just like when i flashed the wrong rom on my phone. it was for a different device. and it bricked it.
i have heard of these situations with updates, eventhough it is from the company, something goes wrong during the process and bricks it.
Your phone if it hasn't been rooted can be RMA'd back to the company, if still under warranty. You can try to play with it yourself, but if you cant get to recovery or download mode, that won't be easy.
this will sound stupid but did you take the battery out and hold the power button for 30 seconds..
Some customer service guy told me to do that.
of course my phone was too messed up for that to work , but worth a shot.

ok. i;ve done it.
i tried to install v10c europe unbranded and kdz updater gave me a param error and now my phone is completly dead. it doesnt start at all.
can i recover it somehow?
kdz updater doesn't see it any longer.
Does it show anything at all. Does the screen display the LG or android logo?
Try the hard reset. Press Vol down+Home+PowerButton till you see the LG logo come up. If things are fine then the phone should reset itself to original state.
Best of Luck.
BTW, did you again flash in CDMA and DIAG mode?
it doesnt start at all.
i dont know how to enter emergency mode.
it doesnt hard reset or anything. it looks dead.
i flash in 3g and diag.
Pretty strange that nothing comes up.
Just to experiment, when you plug in the charger (AC) does the phone begin to charge (do you seen the battery indicator come up).
And hopefully someone more experience will turn up and help you. I really don't have much idea...
I think you will find this useful http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-gt540-optimus-gt540-modaco-com/321895/faq-gt540-reference-thread/
Remove battery and leave it few hours without it. After that run KDZ_UPD, configure (i think 3gs, diag, select FW - look on some how-to) without battery plug USB and press vol down+home and power on and still hold untill recovery appear. Then still try connect via KDZ.
I hope, that it will wokrs.
i will try to keep the battery out for a few hours.
i've tried to connect without battery and keep the buttons to start but with no luck.
the phone looks dead!
how can i enter emergency mode?
Is it start? Or if you press power button, is something happened or dipslay of phone is just black? If so, then probably nothing will help and you will have to send it to warranty service.
absolutly nothing happens. no power at all. not even when i plug in the charger.
will lg fix it for me? it was bought on 15 december this year, it has 3 days.
can they see that i have tried to flash another rom?
well that is why I don't play around with the kdz updater.
everyone ends up with their phone bricked at some point.
Try to get in emergency mode back+up volume+power.
Tell me if it works.
it doesnt get in emergency mode.
I had same problem with mine P500.I was tried to update to v10d something went wrong I got some errors and after few more tries my phone was completely dead.I was lucky and my phone was changed by operator.
I did some research before carrying it back to operator and it seems that the only way to resurrect phone is JTAG.But how to do it i have no idea if it can be done at all.
You can find some info here wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=JTAG_for_Dream/Magic[/url
If emergency mode doesn't work....(wait for someone with more exp to post :/ )
Kdz updater working fine. I try 3 different fw and have no problem.

Since you were flashing with original LG firmware, they shouldn't raise much issue. Just don't tell them that you used the KDZ updater....
BTW did you try the CS_Emergency under Phone Mode in the KDZ updater.
also dont give them the guilty look
the phone is completly dead, not detected by computer, even when i plug it in without battery holding vol up+back. NOTHING.
i think i will not have a problem at warranty because i think that the mb is surged, they dont have how to see that i have flashed, an official rom after all.
now, shoul i take it to lg? or to the retail store?
I think I've bricked my Galaxy S II.. I got it yesterday and tried to flash 2.3.5. When I was flashing with Odin, the program went unresponsive and crashed. There was nothing else to do but take out the battery.. I shouldn't have done it, but I did. And now it won't turn on at all. I've tried the 3 button method, for download mode, and a jig from my old i9000. Nothing has worked. The screen wont even turn on. I don't know what to do... Help Please??
you need a jtag.If it wont go into download or recovery its gone.
What do you, Jtag? I've got a usb jig, does that work? Or are they the same thing?
*What do you mean
aren't jigs phone-specific?
Any new info on this? Did jtag worked or whatever. I keep eye on this thread but looks like OP disappeared. Genuinely curious what happened with the phone.
Hmm .. very wierd that phone wont turn on ... i have broken Odin flashes purposedly many times myself but always I can get back into it ...
You could try power drain ... remove battery ... press power on button for 10 seconds (WITHOUT BATTERY IN) ... now put battery back in and try to go into Download mode.
Sorry but i got busy with other stuff but wanted to explain to him about the JTag.Its a special box called a RiffBox JTag and what it does is basically wipes the motherboard/bootloader and in most phones repears the bootloader aswell of a fully bricked phone so it can be put into download mode again letting you re-flash via Odin and thus saving your phone.A little miracle that means no more bricked phones.There doesnt seem to be that many around and to buy they aint cheap at all but if you can find a dealer or a phone shop who has one they can do it for you.For example.I bicked my phone and was going to buy the box on ebay.es imported (in spain there isnt any for sale) for 160euros complete or 140 without cables.Searched this site:
http://www.jtagbox.com/riff-jtag-bo...s-unbrick-bricked-phone-riff-box-owners-list/
and found a shop in Barcelona who did it for me for 35euros plus postage "BARGIN!!!!".If you search youtube and google for RiffboxJtag in your country you should find someone with a unit willing to help out or check the link ive given as it has a list of users worldwide.
EDIT:A jig is not a JTag.A jig will boot your SEMI-BRICKED(phone showing some kind of life ex.classic icon of phone/arrow/computor,menu and back arrow lights work e.t.c.) phone into download mode.A FULLY-BRICKED(dead,no signs of life.wont start.no download,recovery,lights nothing.DEAD!!!) phone needs a JTag
@cooza , Thanks for that explanation and site I even found one near me, that some day might come handy.
I must ask now to further clear my doubts, this riffjtag box, like you said is able to "revive" or "unbrick" _any_ bricked SGS2? No matter how bad is it? Im kinda new around these things and trying to suck up as much info/knowledge possible, before I decide to flash/root/?brick? xD haha ( hope not for last one) my phone.

Hi.As i said before there are semi and hard bricked phones.A semi bricked phone can normally be booted into download mode with the 3 button combo or a jig and your away again.It has the usuall symbol of a phone and a PC with a warning sign in the middle of them.Hard bricked is when the bootloader is damaged and there is basically no return.You got yourself a very expensive paper-weight for the office desk.Its like trying to turn on your phone with no battery in it.Dead,gone and not coming back.Before the Riffbox the only solution was the rubbish bin or maybe change the motherboard(but a few years ago that was an extremely pricey task if possible).Now we have the box.You can screw you phone to the point of no return and still the box will bring it back to life as it wipes the motherboard and in the case of the SGS2 also repears the damaged bootloader which is what boots your phone to start with.One thing to know,and i dont know if it happens to everyone but mine came back with 2.3.3 installed but there was no recovery mode.If this happens all you have to do is re-flash via Odin a more reciente firmware WITHOUT PIT FILE and yourll get recovery mode back at reboot.Obviously youll need to plug in your phone before hand to re-install the drivers.Same with Odin.boot to download,plug in,installs,unplug,then open Odin and flash.
EDIT:yourve got my name there so if something ever happens and you need a hand to re-flash after a jtag just send me a private message.Here to help.

Thank you mate! I am getting my SGS2 this week so ive been doing alot of reading and research about everything. Thanks for your contribution and kind offer to help if ever comes to that. Very appreciated.
No worries mate.truth is its very hard to fully hard-brick an i9100.The main thing to watch out for,and its a mistake that first-time users/flashers have done,is to flash there i9100 phones with i9000 firmware by mistake.An SGS is not an SGS2 and if they are mixed you WILL hard-brick your device.Here on XDA everything is clearly marked and on their right pages so you cant go wrong if you take your time dont rush-in.But just in case you havnt seen it heres the thread:

Hi, dont bother faffing with it mate, if you have only had it a day take it back and tell them it wouldnt boot after an automatic Kies update. If they cant turn it on they wont know you bricked it until it gets back to the factory and to be honest after selling 10 million of these babies they wont even bother checking it out, they'll just put it into spares or straight recondition it.
I did the same thing to my xoom, PC world couldnt turn it on so they just gave me another.
Hi everyone, I think I just bricked my device. I got my new e970 with 4.04 yesterday and today when trying to flash the new 4.1.2 using lgnpst tool, the process halted at 85% giving out an error stating that the firmware isn't supported. When I unplugged the phone and tried to boot, nothing happened. I am assuming that it's bricked.
Additional info:
When I hold the power button for 30 secs while connected via usb, the red led flashes for 2-3 secs and the PC makes a sound as if it had detected a new hardware (but nothing happens though )
On opening the device manager, I was able to see a "Qualcom HS-USB QDLoader" under the ports tab. And the "usual unknown" device offcourse.
The device wasn't rooted or bootloader unlocked
PS: I have tried to enter the download mode. But it didn't work either.
Help of any kind is welcome
I am sorry to tell you that is a hard brick. It needs to be jtagged, search for Mobiletechvideos.com

If you really just got it brand new, just take it back, tell them it was working then just completely stopped.
Next time let the firmware update over the air, personal recommendation
Then freegee yourself, and you may never have to see LGNPST ever. (I've never used it so, here's hoping)
Also, if the OTA update isn't showing up, call AT&T and tell them to push the update, they will.

I think he is in India.
Thanks for your reply guys. @adfurgerson That's correct. India it is. And I've checked the options available for JTAG ing the phone, but there are no reliable people here. @[r.]GimP lol, I don't think LG would be that trusting to believe that the bootloader self destructed by itself. But thanks anyways, that'll be my last resort if I can't get it to run.

One of the first threads where I went to search desperately for help
JTagging did the trick!
Hello everyone, I just thought of sharing my experience resurrecting my hard bricked ATT LG Optimus G. After various desperate attempts to recover the device without opening it, I was left with no choice but to send it for JTagging. Amid safety concerns, I sent the phone for repair at a local store in Chennai and amazingly, the phone got back in brand new, fully working condition!! The servicing cost just 1500 Rupees and took 6 hours. If anyone wants information about the store, you can PM me.
Hi there!
This thread is my last hope, so please dont let me down folks...:cyclops:
The story short - one sunny morning i turned on my HTC Nexus One and it got stuck with te X on the screen for about 15 minutes, non of the buttons responded, so i did the first thing that came in my mind - i pulled out the battery. After inserting the battery the phone went full brick, i mean literally, no reaction on anything, even conected to the wall charger, there is no sign of life, no charging LED, nothing. Connected to the PC, it says USB device not recognised.
I dont think this is a hardware proble, the phone workwd fine until this interrupted power on. Phone runned on stock Androud, i have not played aroun with it - no bootloader unlock, no rooting.
I searched the internet for a solution, tried a lot of button combinations like in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069032
but still no luck, i cannot restore or flash it while my PC does not recognise the phone.
Found some info about those Usb Jig things, but they work only on Samsung phones, so, is there a way to force the phone to go in recovery mode, or give any sign of life so i can try to recover it or flash a diferent ROM?
The warranty has ended, so no hope there.
Hope there is a way out of this, and, sory for my bad english. :good:

Well no, bricked is a term used when you are rooted and flash a bad rom,kernel,etc. You have no root, so you cannot be "bricked". Just a software failure, you cannot flash another rom because, again, you have no root or custom recovery. Your best bet is trying to send it back to your carrier and get it replaced

The warranty time is out, so there is no help from the carrier, unless for cash...
But there must be a way to bring it back to life.

Now the screen may not show, but try booting into fastboot mode by press and hold the Trackball+Power buttons together.
I'm not sure about the nexus one, but newer nexus devices have factory images, supplied by Google. If they exist for the nexus one, you should be able to save your device by flashing them through fastboot. That is if the images exist and you can get to fastboot.

Hi guys, I'm new here, so I'm sorry if I'm not doing this properly.
I have Alcatel Flash 2 phone (7049D) and I accidentally hard-bricked it while trying to root my phone. I used this tool called "Smart Phone Flash Tool". I turned my phone off,press the Download button on the software,and then I press Power+Volume Up button on my phone,the Download process on the software showed 64% completion but then it showed Error Message (can't remember what it is), and after that I can't turn my phone on however I tried. I already tried pressing every button for a while (ex : Power button, Power+Volume Up button, etc), still not working. And when I connect it to my laptop, somehow my laptop also can't recognize it,it makes the sound that it connects but it says "Unknown device" on Device Manager with yellow exclamation mark on it. Can anyone please tell me how to fix it? I read some articles that this kind of situation might be the end for my phone,but I just hope that there might still a chance for me to fix it. Hope someone can help me, thx a lot.
You made a hard-brick, let some expert come and answer to your question, For now your phone is in HARD-BRICK and you cannot do anything to it simple.

So,my point is,is there any possibility that a hard-brick is repairable? Because I've been going left and right, calling many repair shops, and none of them can repair my phone, simply because it's new, not many people have Alcatel Flash 2. I will in the end bring my phone to Alcatel Service Center of course if there's no other solution, but I'm holding it as a last resort since it's gonna cost more.
The phone cost is around (USD-$132 . 58), go to the service centre they might help you on this,
