I'm afraid I made of hard bricked my note 3 ( yes I know this may be hard to do)... I tried installing clockwork mod and rooting my N900-Canadian Version. I am now a continuous loop in which my phone is trying to continuously go into boot mode not the actual startup screen. ODIN is not detecting it because it's not starting up. I cant put it into any other mode either. What do I do?

i think your device have been soft brick, just with boot loop or loop on recovery, if you use philz's recovery version, you can flash a zip file to resolve the end of this problem, i don't know what recovery version that you're using. Now, you must take your device return the time you begin with the tools like kdz tool, or flash tool on lg devices.

Thanks for the help.. It's was actually a soft brick then but now my device wont turn on. Can't enter recovery mode at all. It's a hard brick. I've seen a post where they explain how to perform an unbrick but I'm not sure if I need a specific debrick,img file for my N900w8 to mount on my micro SD card. Can you help me out?

Hi everyone, i need ur help please. I have a t-mobile vibrant (sgh-t959). I tried the CM on it. After installing the su kernel, it bricked. Now it keeps rebooting with the samsung galaxy s gt-I9000 screen (the vibrant screen no longer comes up). I can't even get to download mode by pressing vol up + vol down + pwr buttons. Please help me. I m kinda desperate ...

Although I didn't have the exact same problem, I had a very similar problem. The above link will give you more details about the problem I was having and how I solved it (thanks to click1's suggestion).
I could not get into download mode no matter what sequence of keys I pressed and my phone hanged on the "samsung vibrant" screen. IF your phone is detected by Odin or the computer when you plug it in (doesn't have to be in download mode and your computer doesn't have to be able to show you the usb drives - just as long as there is a confirmation that a usb was connected is enough), then Android SDK will help you force the phone into download mode.
If this doesn't work, your next bet is to physically make a JIG for it:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
From what I have read, this last one physically forces the phone to go into download mode by using the 5th pin on the MicroUSB key.
I know how you feel - I just got my fixed last night and my problem seemed very unique, I wish I could offer more help but I hope these will work for you.
Thank you very much. It finally came back to life. Feel so much better now!
downnload mode, I hold both volume buttons in and connect the usb and it I get into download mode everytime

the newer vibrants are hardware locked so you can't get into download mode that way. This is why you have to use the SDK to do it.

Yes, make it or buy one. I know who sells them for a VERY reasonable price. If you're interested Pm me for more info.
okay found a solution for now, my issue was related to ROM manager with the SD card, kept getting wrong MD5 Sum!! Really pissed me off about this since I was running through ODIN correctly,
Solution...
Updated the rom with Eugene froyo!! This brought me out of boot looping and now I have a rom on my phone so I can go back to the basics of flashing I hope, I am going to give it a try to see what happens

No...being the noob that I am, I'm constantly finding new ways to brick my phone. So tonight, I bricked it with the phone to PC screen. ADB can't detect it and neither can odin. This is FIXABLE, I tried the method here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771247
Method 3 worked for me. Even if you have a hardware locked phone, I think there is a method around this which involves taking the battery out and putting it back in but I don't remember where I read this in the forums....I know I did read it though, you have to search to find it. Try these before you resort to making the JIG.
Last week, my friend was trying to install a stock ROM on my device but after odin fails my gplayer's screen gone black even I tried holding the power button and other combos for minutes but nothing happened, please help.
Ok answer this question. Can you get into download mode by holding the power button + volume down? If not then your device is hard bricked, and your boot loader somehow got messed up. There's a forum on here on how to fix a hard bricked/soft bricked galaxy players. It can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1496360. Now if you can get into download mode then I suggest trying to use odin again. Just make sure you have all drivers installed on your computer (you might have to install samsung kies), and flash it fully to stock.

That sucks. I think it may be permanently bricked then. You may have to send it to http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-player-5-0-jtag-brick-repair-service/ if that the case. I first would try and fix the bootloader. Have you followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386669 as well? This fixes the bootloader for hard bricked devices.

As far as I'm aware, there are no hardware keys to get you to recovery.
1)*Boot into LG G3 Recovery Mode Using*HARDWARE BUTTONS
This method is a fail-proof method that’ll always work for you, unless you’ve broken your device’s*hardware keys. In such a case you’d be left with only the other two software based methods.
IMPORTANT NOTE:*Do not try to reboot into recovery mode unless you’ve installed a custom recovery like TWRP / CWM on your LG G3, otherwise you might end-up hard resetting your phone.
Power off your device and wait for 5-10 seconds until the device is fully switched off.Press and hold *‘Volume Down*+ Power’ buttons*together and release them as soon as you see the LG*logo on your phone’s screen.Now immediately press and hold the*‘Volume Down + Power’*buttons again until you see the*‘Hard reset screen’Press power button once, and then again to confirm hard reset.If you have a custom recovery installed, your phone won’t hard reset and will boot into recovery mode.Your phone will boot into recovery mode.*Use Volume buttons to navigate Up and Down between options and use Power button to select an option in recovery (if in case it’s not touch supported)

Works for stock recovery.
You will not wipe your phone.

I am not sure the difference between a soft or hard brick. But currently my G3 will not go past the LG screen. I can use the hardware keys to get to stock recovery and when i do factory reset it goes dark and the LED's blink but nothing happens. Is this hard bricked? Also, know a way to get to recovery now?

After that i erased all the things(aboot,boot,cache,system,laf,....) und flashed them again,after that the Phone only starts until the LgLogo then it stops.No Fastboot,no recovery,no DownloadMode.When I Press VolumeUp+PowerOff i get into the Factory Reset.When i press on Erase all user data&restore default settings?---When i press Yes the phone the logo comes an on the left up side stands"Error:boot ceryfication verify
Secure Boot error
Cause :Boot cerification verify
After that the display is black,and i have to restart the Phone.
When i press all 3 buttons on my phone,i got into the hardware key control mode,does me help that everthing?
When i plug in the phone in my pc,it says "unknown device",when i use to do something with fastboot it says"waiting for device"?
Please help me,what can i do?I have the Phone only since 2 two days,an i wouldnt lost it Unhappy
Sorry for my bad english
Can you still get into twrp? With the phone off hold power and vol down til LG logo comes up the release and press again after. Should take you to a menu, just hit yes. If it takes you to recovery just hit factory reset and it'll,take you to twrp. If so, I'd recommend putting a Rom onto an sd and flashing it. You'll lose everything but it's better then losing this beautiful phone

You obviously didnt read his post correctly. He stated that when he gets to the factory reset area which leads you to Recovery Mode/TWRP it shows the LG logo appears and nothing happens.
As for you my friend if you are able to somehow get into download mode with a button combination you have a chance at saving yourself by using a TOT or KDZ file to restore your phone to stock software. But i also have a question for you.........Why the hell would you allow an app to flash a recovery file that has nothing to do with BUMP'D? The Bump'd recovery for our phones is specific to our phones! You should never auto update any recovery unless stated its ok from the Bump'd developers, Which they never did or will because our TWRP Recoveries are different than any other phones because of the bump'd implementations with in them and the boot.img's. Sounds to me like you may have screwed up your partitions and/or boot stack. Your are better going on IRC and requesting the help of TheCubed/IOMonster and AutoPrime, but mark my words you will face some heavy criticism from members of the IRC channel when you explain this story to them. But they are always willing to help.
I dont know why i have done it,im new on Lg.Before i had an HTC there is so many other.I will aks that guys.I hope i can save my new phone.

Hi.
Long story short I hard bricked my LG V30 (I never thought it would happen to me, lol). I have no access to TWERP, download mode or fastboot. I only get the "no command" message.
Reset button dance doesn't do anything except go to no command.
Is there any last resort or should I sell it for parts (as it's in perfect condition otherwise?)
It's the H931
Kind regards,
ZabbenW
You said that you have no access to recovery or download mode, but, just in case and before you do anything risky, verify that you've tried the following exactly:
To enter recovery:
1. Turn off the phone by holding down the power button for several seconds.
2. Hold down the Volume Down and power buttons simultaneously.
3. When the LG logo appears, release just the power button and then press and hold it again.
4. Continue holding both buttons until the "Factory data reset" menu appears.
5. Choose Yes twice. With TWRP installed, it will enter that rather than perform a factory reset.
To enter download mode:
1. Turn off the phone by holding down the power button for several seconds.
2. Hold down the Volume Up button.
3. While still holding it down, connect the phone to a Windows PC with a USB cable.
You can now run patched LGUP on your PC and flash a KDZ.

Sorry, this is completely unrelated from the current topic but I reallly need help..I tried to flash a rom on my HTC but thr preloader got corrupted xo my phone go hard bricked. Pluging the phone into a computer just shows a red led and the computer shows nothing in device manager.
I tried uninstalling the MTK Preload VCOM driver and reinstalling it but that still didn't work.
Even pressing volume keys while connecting still gave nothing.
I also tried disconnecting the battery and reconnecting the phone to the computer but still nothing.
If there is anyone, please help me.....
