So, recently my mum's Neo L had issues with the digitizer so I went ahead and ordered a new one online to replace it for her, after the replacement, the phone does not boot and has the led blinking red if I plug it to the wall, plugging it into my pc makes the "usb device not recognized" message pop up, tried entering fastboot mode to flash with flashtool by holding down search and plugging in the usb cable and its the same story, ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm new here.
I have an issue. My Android phone is bricked. It is an MT6515 phone; model i9270+ (Chinese dual SIM phone).
I had trouble rooting it, so I was half way there following steps in THIS thread.
To see more specs. about this phone check HERE (chrome tells me that this site has malware, but I ignored it...)
On to the issue...
I accidentally flashed my phone with the wrong boot image from fast boot ("fastboot flash boot boot.img"). I had a clockwork mod backup copy of my own boot.img, so I just wanted to reflash it. Fastboot said that the flash failed.
I tried again, and then in the middle of the process my command prompt stalled. Phone was in flashing process for about an hour, so I hit Ctrl+C to stop it... I wanted to do a recovery from the phone itself using clockwork recovery...
When I wanted to boot my phone there was no screen light. The phone just vibrates twice and that's all.
PC won't recognize it, so I can't go back to fastboot mode. Key combination (vol up + power) won't bring fastboot mode...
This phone seems completely bricked...
Is there anything I can do to "revive" it?
I googled my issue, but I couldn't find anything useful. All simple solutions like getting the battery out for an hour, holding some weird key combinations, plugging it in USB on a different port, and such didn't get me any results...
Can anyone help me, please?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, I've just tested few more things:
When just holding a power button - phone vibrates once, and second time about 4 seconds after
When the battery is out and the phone is on USB - it does nothing
When the battery is in and I plug the USB (without pressing power) - it vibrates once, and second time about 1 second after
When holding Vol Up + Power (on this phone this is entering to fastboot) - does nothing
When holding Vol Up and plugging USB - PC recognized it as "SCI USB2Serial (COM10)" device, and the driver installation failed.
Before I typed this whole post PC recognized my phone as "unknown device", and the driver installation also failed.
Commant "adb devices" or "fastboot devices" does not recognize the phone while being plugged on USB.
When I plug it on electrical charger it vibrates twice just like pressing the power button.
Programs like "MTK Droid Root & Tools" do not recognize it...
Can anyone help me?

bricked = no sign of life under any circumstances
Try putting the phone into download mode when the battery is removed. Pull the battery and leave it out. Connect the phone to the PC via USB cable, and hold down vol+ and vol- (but not pwr). The USB cable will supply the power. Let us know if it will boot into download mode using this method.

Thanks for the reply.
I tried to put the phone in download mode when battery is removed, however there was no message/flicker either on the screen and the computer did not recognise any device. I held the vol+ and vol- buttons together for about 15 seconds.

Sounds like a true brick. The phone is getting old enough that it may not be cost effective to send it out for repair. But if you do choose to go for a repair, Mobile Tech Videos in LA has a very highly respected reputation here.
There are several ways to put the phone into download mode. You should try all of them that you can before you give up.
Recovery mode:
With the phone off (and not connected to the computer), and battery installed, hold all three buttons, vol- vol+ pwr continuously until the initial boot screen appears the second time.
Download mode:
1. With the phone off and connected to the computer via USB cable, and battery installed, hold all three buttons, vol- vol+ pwr.
2. With the phone off and battery installed, hold vol- and vol+ (but not pwr) while plugging in the USB cable.
3. With the phone off and battery installed, hold vol- (but not vol+ or pwr) while plugging in the USB cable.
4. Attempt each of the above three options with the battery removed from the phone. The computer will supply the power to the phone.
5. Use Android Debug Bridge (adb) which will only work if USB debugging has been already turned on in Developer Options, since you can't boot into the system to turn it on. With the battery installed and the phone connected to the pc via USB cable, use the command "adb reboot download".
6. Use a USB jig. With the battery installed insert the USB jig into the USB connector of the phone. Some have reported that this method works when no other method would work.
My phone switches off everytime I'm charging it
Hey Guys, so i never usually post because i can usually solve my own problems, but i think this time i've out done myself.
So last night when installing CM12.1 using TWRP my xperia Z2 everything was looking rosy. Then when I tried to turn the phone on to boot the first time it gave me just a single little vibe but would not turn on.
I've tried ALL combinations of button resets - Nothing
I've tried to re-flash a stock image using flashboot - Nothing - it won't recognise flash or download mode when i plug it into my computer while holding down volume down
I've tried holding the volume up button while plugging it into my computer to try FASTBOOT mode - Nothing - the blue LED on the top comes on, but neither OSX or WIN7 recognises anything has been plugged into the computer and it doesn't register on ./fastboot devices
So have I actually properly ****ed my device? Or am i missing something?
Any help would be so massively appreciated. Like i said, i usually never ask.
Did you try another cable? Blue LED is good, so fastboot mode should work.
When it would be bricked, there would be no blue LED...
Did you look into device manager on WIN7? Any device like "S1boot" or "Sony ADB Interface" there?
Sony logo showing up, when turning the phone on?
Try "fastboot reboot or "fastboot reboot bootloader" even though "fastboot devices" doesn't show up as anything (weird). It should boot back to bootloader and register your device. This happened to me once.
I think it's "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and i think it won't work...
Try
Try holding the power button and volume up button in until it vibrates. Then you should be able to hold power button and volume button to get to download mode. This works on mine when all else fails, lol.
Hi all,
I have just recently rooted my 306SH, the rooting process was fine. The problem started when I flashed an incompatible twrp image. Now I can't boot into anything it seems, no recovery, no fastboot and the power button will show only the logo screen. If connected to a power source the red led light will stay on even if unplugged. The device can be completely shut down and the red light off if I hold the down+volume and power down for few seconds.
I can connect it to my computer via usb by holding up+volume and power (green led light) . I installed google usb driver onto the android device and it stays connected for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. I tried using command prompt and SDK by typing "adb reboot recovery" but get an error message "error: device '(null)' not found.
Things I have installed on my computer:
(ADB, fast boot and drivers) https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118
SDK Platform-tools
306SH:
Google USB driver
Is there anything I can do from my computer? I was thinking maybe I can flash in an image to replace it. And also my sim card pops out and can't be set back in, is this due to the incorrect flashing?
Any help or input is greatly appreciated, I've been working on this for a while and is getting no where.
I had bricked my Sony z ultra by accidently
deleting OS through TWRP. When phone is
connected to wall power socket led glows red
and Sony logo appears. Logo will go off when
power+vol up is pressed for few seconds but
Will appear within few seconds. When connected
to Computer phones led will bink red and there
Will be continuous connect disconnect sound
From computer speaker. Computer sees the phone
Just an usb input device or unrecognised.
Flashmode (power+vol down) also fails in
Flash tool application in which message says
Usb debbug is disabled and I can't enable it in
Bricked phone. Is there any chance to revive my
Phone?

You can reflash it with flashtool by holding little white dot right next to sd card for about a minute or two then press volume down and after that release white dot and connect cable to the phone while still holding vol down and the phone will be resurected.
Believe me I did it after a few months of bricking my device but still was left in my draw.
Cheers
