Bricked phone? Need help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
I think i just bricked my phone (which is lenovo a328 rooted). But before these things happened my phone was perfectly working fine, I even managed to successfully flashed a custom to it. But then one day these kind of errors popped up "system ui has stopped working, all google apps has stopped working". So i though i just have to re-flashed it again, the whole process went fine it says "download ok" which indicates that the flash was a success. But when i opened my phone it went into boot loop, My phone just wont open. I don't even know if its charging coz' there's no battery logo showing up it's just stuck on lenovo logo. But the good news is windows can still recognize my phone. I've been re-flashing it so many times but still wont work. So I decided to go to a repair shop but they said it cant be fix anymore (internal problem, that what they said).
I've been searching the xda s for an answer, and i've found some thread similar to mine but I cant find any fix.
Thank you, Hoping for an answer

I really need an answer :crying::crying:

You mean backup roms? No, I don't. What I have is a custom rom. Thanks for the response

[Q] Please Help

Hello, I just bought my G-tablet and I have severely screwed it over. First, I rooted it and installed CWM, (It went fine). Then I flashed Cyanogen 7, following their wiki full update instructions. It was running fine till I found out that for some reason, my computer nor the tablet even knew it had an SD (Computer found nothing, File explorer on tablet had nothing) coupled with the fact Gapps refused to install, I figured this would be solved in a wipe then another flash. Nothing was different. So I wiped again (seemed to have froze during) but the flash of Vegan 5.1 seemed to have went well... for now. However, trying to install Adobe Flash via the preinstalled android market, it wouldn't install. It kept saying download unsuccessful, for every single app I tried. (no it's not an network problem). Being the noob I am I started following random googled XDA threads on how to fix this. I partioned 4gig from my sd to see if that would fix the market problem. I got stuck in a bootloop so I was forced to reflash vegan. When I did, I found out that when I tried to install anything it said something along the lines of "Not enough space" knowing I had 13 gigs of memory leftover, I figured I'd try rebooting. Got stuck in bootloop. Then followed yet ANOTHER googled guide (droidpirate brick fix) and now I can't even access CWM. It just loads as IF it were going to CWM but then shows me a /!\ caution sign then instantly turns off. When I normally start it, it goes into bootloop. when I try to get to CWM (holding volume up, power) it goes to a useless flash that I presume just fails, then brings me back into the bootloop. As far as I see, I have no way of fixing this...
I know this is so much to read, so in a brief explanation.. I'm in a bootloop, cannot get into CWM (brings me to a failed flash then back into boot loop) and am in dire need of assistance Please help me

NvFlash is currently not working for me, I don't know exactly where I messed up but my computer already has the drivers to read the tablet. when I run the .bat, it doesn't seem to do anything.
Scratch that, got it to work. I didn't extract one of the folders entirely. But my tablet is still stuck in bootloop even after this? what now?

Take this with a grain of salt, as I learned it is not 'always' your friend
Now it's just on the stock Viewsonic birds and Gtablet logo bootloop...
Even after I NvFlashed it... Still can't access CMW.
Any suggestions?
Nvm, I got it to what appears to be working. (and I just about jizzed all over my tab.) Thanks so much. Saved me a beating from my parents.

[Q]

i bought a phone off ebay in december. the phone was working well and then i decided to start installing different Roms on my phone. the phone was not s-off when i was installing these roms. about two weeks ago my phone just started to restart. it does not stay on for more than a minute before it restarts and i have no idea why it is happening. i would really appreciate any help in this matter because it is really frustrating. i think it is a software problem because the phone does not restart when it is in recovery mode or if it is in bootloader mode. if there is anything...anything at all you can do to help me it would be greatly appreciated.

It would nice if you put a title to your thread instead of just [Q].
Anyway, if you suspect its a software problem, why not just flash back to stock and see if it persists? If the problem is still there, then it's most likely a hardware issue. I would replace the battery first.
Sorry about that .. it was the first time i posted something and wasn't really sure what to do. and i replaced the battery and the problem is still there .. i flashed and it still restarted. the weird thing is that if i'm doing something it doesn't restart. like if i'm using the phone as a hotspot it doesn't restart. but as soon as i stop it restarts. or if i'm using the camera it doesn't restart.
Did you wipe/format everything before flashing/flashing back to stock? Are you on CWM or EXT4? Some more details would be helpful.
yes i did that. i used superwipe. i am also 4EX and i S-off the device also. i tried installing the stock rom but it didnt work. it is confusing because once i am in recovery the phone stays on. but as soon as i turn it on it just keeps restarting. the phone boots up and then restarts.

[Q] Help needed

Hello! I have tried to get help from here before but then i did not have much info about the programs i used for my phone.
Anyways, I have a LG Optumis 3D (P929). I rooted it as told, Got myself a rom ( i useClockworkmod recovery v6.0.1.9).
Restarted into recovery mod and i did wipe out data/factory resetfollowed by Cache...
Installed this famous-for-not-working-file "XBSA404.ZIP". Not only me who's getting "Installation aborted" whitout any details why.
I have also tried out "ISC 30a" wich is supposed to be the stock rom. This one works to install but nothing happends.
It says it is mounting but as the XBSA404.ZIP once it comes to install it just jumps to complete?
It seems but i dont know if iits supposed to do that? It takes around 2minutes for this to happend..
Since i tried to install a newer version of android into my phone, everything is stuck at the startup logo. "Bricked" i think is the word.
Im new within this but i try to learn. Now i just want it to start and what ever i must do to get it to work again i am happy for any help with it.
I have looked for downloads with any working ROM and on this site all the links seems not to work.
I have done this tutorial via xda forum a several times without any good resaults.
Also.. once i try to start up in recoverymod the phone jumps into my logo and freezes. I press vol- home and power, releasing once the logo appears. Dont know if its me or if its the phone thats not working. No dmg to it what so ever but i have to repeat this a several times before it comes into recovery mod.
Please help!
Did you backed up your phone's ROM?
else, I think you have to find someone that have the same phone as you are and back its ROM then use that back up ROM to your own phone
*fellow people out there correct me if i am wrong, thanks"

[Q] Phone stuck on encrypting when powering on

**Went to Corporate store and got it replaced.** Close question please.
Alright, so I literally just got the Metro variant of this phone literally 8 hours ago to the dot and I already screwed it up. First I installed the T-Mobile kdz of V20H (and that worked flawlessly) until I decided to install the L9 bootloader CWM. I installed Busybox from BusyBox X (as I was accustomed to when I was using my S2) and it decided to go all screwy on me. I can power on the phone until I am greeted with an error (com.android.phone has stopped) and then Encrypting/ reset phone (which does absolutely nothing). I searched on Google and I got to a thread with the same result. I have tried offline and online restores to no avail. Offline restore usually stops at 4% and doesn't go above it, or it suddenly decides it doesn't see my phone. Online restore, well, that wasted maybe 3 hours of my time because it had no progress bar and the time was stuck at 00:10. What can I do to fix this phone? I guess I can go to a corporate store tomorrow, but how am I going to explain the T-Mobile kdz that's on it and the CWM recovery? Am I totally screwed here guys?
Have you found a fix for this? I'm stuck on the same problem..

I don't have a solution but my only tip for you is avoid using this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748384 It wipes the partitions off your phone and then reinstalls the os. But it trashed my phone for me because the process failed after it wiped my partitions and I had to get a new phone.

No matter what, LG D620k keeps bricking

Hello all.
I´m pretty desperated at this point. No matter what, my phone (LG G2 mini D620k, I have 2 years with it) keeps bricking. Keep in mind I´m a noob in this world, so I´m looking for help here.
This started like 2 months ago, it bricked so I searched on Internet and did the hard reset. It worked well, for a while. I downloaded all my usual apps without rooting it, then suddenly: bricked.
Another hard reset, and again, it worked. So someday it started freezing, apps closing, so in like a week I used 10 times the LG Mobile support tool to fix errors. It fixed the phone but just for 1-2 days. So again, I did factory reset (this time from the phone, it wasn´t bricked), rooted it, debloated it, and worked fine for 48 hours. Last night it again, from nothing, bricked.
Did hard reset again. I'm asking here: what is wrong with the phone? What is causing this? Is an app? Too many apps? Hardware? Battery?
I love my phone but I´m tired of sitting 3 hours every 2 days fixing it. Cannot afford a new phone or looking for specialized help, so I´m asking here for help.
Keep in mind I´m a noob in this. Can someone help me?
Sorry if this matter is already answered, I did a search and found nothing like this.
Sorry for my bad english.
When you say "bricking" do you mean bootlooping (the LG boot animation keeps playing)?
If so, try to capture a logcat while it's bootlooping via adb. Let it capture for a minute, or so. Then send it to me.
Then, pull out the battery for a couple of seconds, put it back in and power up the phone. Does it still bootloop?

I have the same issue!! I've tryed every CM Rom, custom roms, stock roms and now latest RR, and still the same problem. After flash I install only FB, Messenger and Insta (it's girlfriend's phone) and after 1-2 days phone gets bootloop (only RR logo). I have to do hard reset and flash again whole system to work properly again (for a few days).
I gave my G2Mini to service (not LG Service) but they said that its motherboard issue (probably some boot memory is broken and has memory "leaks") But I think that it cant be this. If this is possible I would try to flash whole system on SD card not internal memmory, maybe this will work
help!

Grab a logcat via adb.
Install adb and Google's drivers (for custom ROMs, LG's for stock ROMs).
Let it record for a minute and give it to us.
I managed to install CM13, worked fine for a month I guess... started with random bugs "x app stopped working". So I restarted the phone and it's in eternal logo when I turn it on.
Since I'm a totally noob at this, I can't find a noob-friendly guide to make it work again.
:crying:

Wipe /data in recovery.
If that doesn't work, reinstall the ROM and 'pico' OpenGApps

Managed to connect it to my laptop (I could't before), used LGMobile support tool, back to original rom. I guess it will be matter of time to get same errors as before. At least it works again... idk for how long :s
Hard life for a android n00b :x
update:
it freezes suddenly (started in the middle of a skype videocall).
I'm starting to suspect it's a ram problem. Any ideas?
I have the same problem. Did you find any solution?
