Hello.
I might have hard bricked my phone. I wanted to give my phone to warranty repair so I did S-OFF (Rumrunner's method), flashed stock t-mobile ICS rom, recovery and kernel. Everything booted up, so I had to lock bootloader and S-ON. I tried locking bootloader with method described here. To be precise I locked it via fastboot oem lock (but it showed relocked instead of locked) so I wanted to unlock it with this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470340
after I did all of this, the phone wouldn't reboot.
There is black screen. LED light is orange after plugging it to a charger. I tried taking battery of and even replacing it with another one. The only thing my phone does is 7 vibrations after:
1) plugging it via usb cable to wallcharger/pc
2) pushing power button
3) pushing power button and vol. down
screen does not turn on, LED does not turn on, phone is not booting to bootloader :/ Any thoughts guys? I'm begging for help

One question for you.Do you remove battery from your Neo?
i already unlock bootloader twice,both through test point method...never had this problem while unlocking BL.
what i do,remove the battery before proceed this test point method...
I never remove battery, ground wire I solder to cable ground on PC side.
Battery was in phone...and ground was from USB cable...
this morning when I press power button, no vibrate, just 3 X RED led... Put it on charger-notning...Just blinking RED...
I think it is so DEEEAD:crying::crying::crying:

Hi,
i have a problem with my xperia neo.
I have locked bootloader, stock ICS rom, no root.
My phone don't boot up.
I tried to restore the phone with SEUS, but nothing changed (the phone can enter in flashboot (back button while connecting to pc)).
I Don't know what to do now. Is there any possibility to unlock the bootloader without powering on the phone?
Thanks

Hey!
'Maybe' something happened to your screen.
Try giving it for repair.
or you can try flashing the ".ftf" file for your mobile.
You can also give it a whack. it worked many times when my speaker stopped working..
please hit ' thanks' if i helped you!
I tried to flash ".ftf" stock ICS, but nothing changed.
I tried to flash stock kernel and ICS. Same result.
The strange thing is that the phone vibrates, when turned on. If I press the power button againe, after few seconds and keep it pushed, the phone vibrates again.
It seems that the phone try to power on, but after 2 or 3 seconds it shuts down again. I tried to change battery, same result.
Does xperia phone have a recovery?
I've read that i can unlock bootloader with Test pins. Then i can try to install a modified recovery (is it possible to install cwm without powering on the phone? only flashmode?). It works with every xperia neo?
I've realized I can enter in flashmode (with back button while connecting to PC) but not in Fastboot mode (menu button).
I'm SIM unlocked.
Yea..u can use testpoint to unlock bootloader...ur supposed to do it without battery..coz u need to ground it via negative pins..
But be very careful while doing so...read evrythin before u start...
Once unlocked..flash a kernel..then Rom..
If u dont wanna take the risk...goto the service centre...
Nd did flashtool show any error??
Did it! Thank you mate!
Unlocked bootloader with testpins, flashed cwm and new rom.
Thanks again.
I have a T-Mobile HTC One, unrooted and running the stock OS. A few hours after installing the 4.3 OTA update, the phone had a series of crashes in UIServer (or something similar), and when I attempted to restart it, it didn't start up again. The phone was charging at the time, and its red charging LED stopped working shortly afterward.
Now the phone won't boot, and when I connect it to my computer it shows up as QHSUSB_DLOAD. What can I do?

Unfortunately I have the same issue. I have contacted HTC and they told me to do the volume up and down and power button to recalibrate the battery but to no avail. I have tried using the T-mobile RUU but it doesn't recognize the device when plugged in to the PC. I bought the phone unlocked so I am not sure if T-mobile will even help me send it into HTC. I would be grateful for any help!
Can you get into the bootloader?
No, the phone is completely unresponsive, can't get into boot loader, the light and volume key thing didn't work either. I'm starting the phone is just hardware bricked. My device is completely stock too, how could HTC allow a manufacturer software update hardbrick their phone? Not sure if I will ever buy HTC again after this.

Hold down the power button for 20 seconds or so. This brought me to boot loader from this issue. Flashed an RUU from that point to get working again.
(You will have to hold down the power button until it gets the HTC screen every time the RUU says 'waiting for bootloader' unless it's already there.)

So my friend picked up a broken Z Ultra for god knows why, and he's asking me to fix it.
I first test the device by connecting it to the charger, it boots. Alright. But it won't pass through the battery screen. Upon holding the power button the device vibrates 3 times, screen goes black and restart again as if the device was forcefully shutdown just like any other Xperia devices.
I connected the device to a computer, it went straight into fastboot mode. I thought, "Alright, this device should be locked, let's unlock it." Nope, it was unlocked, the fastboot responded with FAILED: "the device has already been rooted." So I booted the device into flash mode, and flashed the C6802 14.4.A.0.108 FTF. The flash process went fine.
After rebooted, again, same issue. It doesn't pass through the charging screen, if I hold the power button it'd just shutdown. Where do I go from here?
And yes, I can't access recovery mode either it seems.
Try and flash a cm/etc boot.img to the device and then flash the same ROM the boot.image came from
Recently, this is a question to be asked by me, but since I've found the answer I'll share it with you.
Bootloader Unlock
First, you need to unlock both USB debugging and OEM unlock in your developer mode in your phone.
After that, backup every important file in your phone in your sd card or any storage (If you don't have then skip backup)
After you have backup and everything follow this step:
1.Press and hold volume up and down as well as the power off button., release if you see changes in your screen
ALTERNATIVE: If the method above doesn't work then proceed to this.
1-A. Plug in your phone while being power off in your pc using USB and then hold volume up and down. release when your screen changes.
If none of the above doesn't work, you have to try it again and again. Sometimes there is a bug that delays your button. I tried these methods 5 times before one of them work.
After that, you'll find blue screen or anything in between. Hold volume up.
This will leads you to a screen where it needs your permission to unlock the bootloader. Just press volume up to confirm.
And boom! Done! Hope it works. if you encounter any problems just comment below

To unlock the bootloader on your Samsung device, turn off your phone.
Press and hold Volume Down + Volume Up keys together, then while pressing these keys connecting the phone to PC with USB Cable Data, release all keys when Download Mode appears.
Now long-press the Volume Up button to unlock the bootloader.
Again press Volume Up key to confirm the unlocking.
Congrats! You have successfully Unlocked the Bootloader on Samsung Galaxy A10.
