I tried to flash my phone with LGMDP.exe and I've bricked it
I've tried all ways to make kdz recognise it with no success and the phone doesn't even enter in emergency mode...
So my sad question is: if I say to LG that I've bricked my phone with their official software during the last 2.3.3 italian updgrade (released this morning), will they repair my phone without making me pay money?
Thanks to all that will answer me
LG Italia services are dumb,so you can say it without problems. Also rooting and custom romming the phone doesn't void warranty.

Tell them that the phone has bricked during the update with the official tool. Generally LG accepts the warranty. Most probably they'll change the main board.
Just tell them that the phone was working at night and when you woke up it was like this. You don't need to mention the update. They'll change the board, quietly.
Are you sure it is bricked? No mode is working?

KDZ doesn't recognize the phone in any goddamn way... It doesn't go in Emergency Mode and I've tried to reinstall lg drivers a couple of times

Unplug than remove battery. That's the correct method to brick it.

LOL it remembers a lot my procedure
BTW I've just taken my phone to an LG center near home and they belevied me... They will send the phone to LG and when it's fixed or changed I will take my new phone from the center... I just hope I'll get my phone before 24 of this month cause I'm leaving for a week
Mine was repaired within 3 days. I sent them on tuesday, the returned it to me on thursday. In the service log I saw that they ordered new mainboard on tuesday and received it on thursday. Very quick, which is not typical for Bulgaria
The assistence guy told me they would have fixed it in two weeks

Got PCB replaced in 2 hours.Service engineer didn't even ask a single question for phone not powering on.Thank god my P500 is revived.
In case you have to send your phone to lg to be repaired, what exactly do you tell them and about how much will it cost?

most of them (in my country) come with innocent face, and then argued their mobile phone hangs when playing games and never boot again
and wait for 4-7 days, their board get replaced
so do they take the phone back or not

To be honest, I bricked my phone thrice in six months. Reapired it at the service centre. You can always say that "I switched off my phone before I went to sleep. The next day I can't turn it on!" That's what I told them. My phone was under warranty so it was free
And yes they take it back to change the board for you

I bricked my phone more than 10+ times but I still can rescue it through KDZ.
I have bricked my phone 5 times in a day once.
i have a warranty also, i'm thinking its the battery bc it was in emergency mode for so long without having a good charge. hopefully they can repair the whole phone

My definition of bricked is that the phone can't even enter emergency mode. If you can't even do that, how the hell am I supposed to use kdz

Hi there Folks....
My SGS3 Pebble Blue suddenly went dead. I leave my phone overnight with 17% battery charge, I dont remember well if the wifi was on, but in the morning it was completely dead, no button respond at all. Thinking that the battery has been emptied, i plug in the charger, but the phone doesnt respond, not even the LED nor the battery display that is charging. So, I leave it on the charger for a couple of hours, like 3 or 4 hours but still its dead.
My SGS3 is running at Omega ROM v34, everything is working fine before the incident, no lags, no system crashes. It is made in vietnam and I got it from a local network provider in Phillippines.
What can i possibly do to revive my SGS3? I could not send it to Samsung for warranty because, first it is running in custom firmware, next is warranty is completely void because i have already replaced my LCD Screen last month. I dropped my phone and the Screen was damaged so I ordered a screen replacement and I myself replaced the damaged screen.
Please help, I have no idea what happened....
Sounds like the S3 "Sudden Death" issue that was in the media some days ago (so the chance is high that it is a physical defect and you can't do much against it...).
Try a google "Galaxy S3 Sudden Death" search and you should get tons of informations about the issue. As far as i know Samsung Support repairs/replaces damaged devices without trouble.
Looks like they replace the mainboard on those damaged devices. Some people are saying that it might be some sort of planned obsolescence that kicks in to early.
That would also explain why Samsung is not talking about those issues at all and repairing/replacing damaged devices without further asking.

Unfortunately my S3 died on me as well on the eve of new year!
I'm waiting for the holidays to be over so I can send it to the Samsung service center.
Hopefully, they will cover the repairs with the warranty and they will not notice that my phone is rooted and running on custom software..

Have sent in the unit yesterday to the service center. They have checked the download mode and asked me if I did some rooting and I said no.
From the download mode they cannot see the product name but there is no custom binary download numbers too so they said it is covered by warranty and just this morning, I called them up to follow up and they said they already ordered a new motherboard. I asked again if there are no problems with regards to the warranty and they have confirmed that it is indeed covered. Hopefully, in a week I'll get the repaired unit

So have you gotten your phone back yet? Which service center did you bring your unit to?
So I've only had my Lumia for 5 days but from day one it's been randomly freezing no matter what I'm doing, be it texting, web surfing, anything. I downloaded the software update and the problem persists. It happens several times per day and I have to soft reset which erases some of my settings, its totally annoying. Is there a fix for this or do I have a defective device?
Try a hard reset which unfortunately will wipe everything from your phone back to factory settings, If problem still persists then you definitely have a faulty device and should return it.
Set your highest data setting to 3G. This will disable LTE but for me it seems to solve the problem. Let me know if this works for you.

Yeah I'm sending it back tomorrow lol. I was just thinking the same thing. Nokia wanted me to remove skype cause they said that was causing it, then they said the facebook app was causing it. It's like ok, I have to disable Facebook, Skype, and IM+ to get it to work? What's the point of this damn phone? lol. Yeah my device is defective.

You missed my point. Disabling any stock feature of the phone to get it work properly is not a "fix", it's a bandaid. I stand by my statement...defective. Whether it be the hardware or software...still defective.

If you have a sim card that does not support LTE then yes it is a fix. However. I have also installed the portico update, 4G disabled and the phone went from never rebooting or freezing to reboot 2-3 times a day and at least 1 freeze.

Instead of saying "Please help! help!", you need to give more information about your device. If you can't do that, you are wasting your time and everyone else's because we cannot play the guessing game with you.
Did you pull the battery?
Did you try charging it overnight?
Were you using the Jbear kit on Windows, or Linux?
What stage were you on when your device went bad?
Did you install the HTC drivers?
Did you reboot your PC to see if that helps fix the driver issue?

It is not a hardware fault. As i am unable to switch off my phone with the power button, i have to pull out the battery
And when i connect charger the charging light keeps on coming even when charger is removed.
Any guess?
Hardware-based fault

I'm not sure but my best bet is that your lcd went. You could check to see if your connectors are in tact but that would mean taking it apart. I would suggest taking it to a repair shop I'm sure they'll give you a more accurate answer.

S-off
Since it happened while doing s-off on windows, isn't it more likely that the process that is not supported for windows--especially with a cable pull--would have mis-flashed the phone's bios?
Is it possible that re-running the s-off solution would correct the issue?
