Hey guys.
I own a lenovo A328. For the past couple of months my phone, gets poping up "com.google.etc.etc has stopped".
I tried doing a factory reset, but no luck. Then I learn that I can flash it using SPflash tool with the stock firmware.
And luckily, I did it, my phone back to normal. But then, a few couple of weeks, it started to pop up the same error messages again until I can't do anything on my phone, and unitl it boot loops. So, I reflash again with the same firmware (stock).. and it works again. And same thing keeps repeating and repeating;
until I thought I can try to change the options in sp flash tool..
Instead of "Download only", I choose, "Firmware upgrade".... the flashing finished successfully.
BUT when I press the power button to turn it on, nothing happens, and when I charge it, I cant see the charging screen (or it's not actually charging). I'm sure that it is charging before the flashing, and the power button is working.
When I connect it to the computer, i hear a "connected" sound, then "disconnected", and repeating.
i also tried to reflash it, both the "DL only" and "Firmware upgrade", even the "Format all + ...."
and it flashed successfully (meaning, computer still recognized it), but still not turning on.
Please help me. please.

Ok well, after succesfully installing the original 2.2.2 rom through KDZ in emergency mod, i decided to roll back to 2.2, so i opened KDZ again and started flashing it.. well, at a point it just crashes.. I said "no worries, let's start over again".
I tried to flash again but i was getting multiple errors or crashes, so i decided to turn the phone off and unplug it from the USB.
After replugging, KDZ stopped recognising it and now im stuck at a forced emergency screen unable to flash the original rom back... any chance to fix it or it's definitely dead?
EDIT: By turning off the battery, disabling modem device on pc and connecting usb i could manage to start KDZ update. During the installation I got an error so I couldn't finish it. Tried many times without results. I was stuck in emergency mode. After doing the same steps, phone doesn't even turn on.. i guess it's a bye bye now :/

I guess this is enough
Will send it to LG tomorrow
I just wonder, will it be on warranty? There was no superadmin installed before it got bricked, and there was the official 2.2.2 rom on it. Can they know if before that I installed custom roms? If so, does anyone know how much I would have to pay to get it back working?
thanks in advance

Why were u downgrading when root for froyo 2.2.2 and 2.2.1 is available ?
You must try again by reading all the tutorials to bring back the dead phone. Its true that once you disconnected the phone, its not easy to bring back but try on other machine/pc. People has recover it even when they disconnect the phone.
Or
If you are taking it to LG service center, tell them you were updating the phone, but it crashed and didnt bootup. If they ask you anything about custom rom, tell them you dont know anything about that and this is your first android phone and they would repair it in warranty.
From my opinion, they will repair the phone as you haven't installed any recovery, rom yet.
If they are not repairing it in warranty, the charges could cost as much as you can buy a new phone.
Good luck.
Well the phone is not responding at all, tried to pull off the battery for many hours and then pull it back in to try charging it and next turn it on, but I didn't get the expected results..
"Good" new is that phone completely on stock settings as I just did the original 2.2.2 update and didn't have root and custom recovery aswell... they shouldn't be able to check if i had custom roms/recovery as mainboard should be completely gone :/
I will definitely take it to LG service next week in the spare time..

You have to use the search tools and find user who have the same problems. Use google and keywords. It can take time, be patient. When you are trying to modify a handset you must have another phone that you can use, as backup, you never know.
It would be a good idea to first post in a more apropriate forum like the one that matches your phone here on xda, you will find others to help.
I have been stuck for days with a bricked phone, I have used google and serach tools, now its all sorted.
Click thanks if you think this was helpfull.
Good luck.

Hay guys,
My rooted Xperia GO was working flawlessly before I decided to give it a factory reset. Buf after this reset, WIFI, USB and BT are not working.
To explain how they're not working:
- The WIFI on/off switch is sometimes in sort of a "disabled" color. I can switch it, but nothing happens and it remains in this color. The other times the color is ok, but as soon as I try to switch it, it again gets that color! I believe it is "trying" to turn on the wifi, as this is the message I get when trying to turn on the "WIFI Hotspot" too.
- The Bluetooth on/off switch, cannot get switched on; It immediately jumps back to its previous positions (off).
- The USB: when I connect it, it feels it. Because it starts chargin the phone, AND when I disconnect it it gives me a reminder of water resistance and stuff. But for example in the USB Tethering section, it says "USB not connected". And also I don't see any notifications on the dashboard.
Please help me urgently, as I've just moved to a foreign country, and my phone is a vital thing to me now!
PS: Note that I did not unroot it before the factory reset!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: I solved this problem by flashing my phone, using flash tool and a simple tutorial. Refer to post #6 for more details.

Thanks. But could you please give me a link to a tutorial or something? I'm not familiar with these terms and I might brick my phone in this hurry I'm in.

Thanks man.
So, knowing that my phone boots up flawlessly, which of the FLASH / FASTBOOT methods should I use (the text always says they're different)
And by the way, the link to Xperia GO stock rom is broken. Where should I find a safe one?
Hay guys.
I finally solved the problem, flashing my phone using the guide located here:
http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/22-sony-xperia-go-st27
It was so easy and I did not need to search inside a jungle of posts!
For future reference:
There were 2 things that were different from the text in the tutorial:
1- When using the flash-tool, it asks you to press the "back button", while in the tutorial says "volume down". Do what the tutorial says and god with the "volume down" button.
2- After flashing, when I started my phone, and was doing the initial settings, some message used to appear from time to time warning me like this: "FACTORY STARTUP SERVICE please wait for POWER OFF BUTTON". This was not mentioned in the tutorial. Anyway, I waited and after a few seconds the screen became blank with 2 buttons: "POWER OFF" and "USE PHONE". I chose to power off, and when restarted my phone, everything was ok -- don't know what would happen if I had chosen the other option!.

So, stupidly, I installed the wrong rom for my Jiayu G3, the rom was actually intended for the G3S version, and so when I rebooted the phone from CWM it didn't turn back on. Now I can't boot it, charge it, or anything, when I connect it to my PC it disconnects and reconnects every 10 seconds too. Is there anything I can do? Any help appreciated!
jiayu g3s bricked??
Have you ever been helped?
I'm having the same problem this moment!!??

I bricked my Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 (YTS-X50F) this morning.
Trying to flash as ROM to get an update. it said it worked fine, rebooted and well ... I'm here aren't I.
Here is the thing, its somewhere between a soft brick and a hard brick.
If I try to power it down (or force it to turn off) I can hear it go through the motions. It plays the super obnoxious, deafeningly loud start up sound and vibrates. But the screen isn't readable. In some light you can kind of sorta make out the lenovo logo.
At one point I let it go through the motions, I could tell when I tried to swipe to unlock it worked (it vibrated when I did it from the wrong side and chimed when I did it right). I could kinda sort of make out stuff on the screen. but it wasn't in English. It was all as if someone had the screen brightness all the way down.
I know if I press and hold power and Vol+ it should go into Recovery and I could reset to factory etc. I just can't see that screen to do that!
Are there any kind of tools to force that from my computer? If I plug it into my computer and its on, my laptop recognizes its there.
I know I posted in the Lenovo forums, but I wanted to post here in a more general area in case other Android experts have ideas.

Even once I bricked my lenovo.
For lenovo no recovery needed to fix using pc. Actually while flashing you don't even have to power on your device.

Thank you. Giving this a try. I tried Android Studio but couldn't seem to get it to work - however its a pretty impressive developer tool, that is complicated and has more than I need.

Hate to pester you but I've been searching on this all day with no luck. I've got Stock frimware downloaded (zip file) and extracted. Yet I can not seem to locate the scatter file required to use the SP Flash tools. Most sites say "includes scatter file" yet no zip file seems to have it included (yes I've tried it more than one place).
