Hey xda crew!
i was hoping you might be able to help me out with this problem i have
I tried to root my phone recently using the "newbies guide to rooting x10" and well when i turned my phone back on it wouldn't turn on and just vibrated constantly untill i took the battery out.
after that i decided to try and reinstall software using SEUS and it told me that it worked. But when i tried to start my phone it again wouldn't start. but this time instead of vibrating the screen light just turned on and sort of flashed every now and then.
I left the phone on all night charging while the screen was doing funny things, in hope that it would eventually start up. but when i got up in the morning the battery had gone dead and all that was happening was the red led light was flashing.
I tried to get it back into flash mode, but because the battery was so dead all the phone would do was the red lights would flash when i plugged it into the computer.
As im not sure that i can claim it on warranty.. i was wondering if my problem lies in the USB cord/charger or the phone its self? or the battery?
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Would be a amazing help.
Thanks heaps in advance.
Well, something probably went wrong when you tried too root it, so it turned into a brick.
You won't be able to claim it on the warranty because you lost that when you tried rooting it.
Get your battery charged (maybe in someone elses x10), and search the forums here, i'm pretty sure that there is a de-brick guide somewhere, although i haven't tried it.
To get into flash mode, your bttry need to be on 50% charged... Your phone must've been booting all night, find a way to charge your battery mate, n then bfore flasing, take out ur battery, hold the back key n insert it back.... Hope this will b helpful...
maguyver it take an old charger cut the end off strip the wires now touch the red to the positive and black to negative of your battery and plug it in... i had to do it for my buddies droid x when i bricked it when it was it it reads as full charge but you only wanna have it plugged in like that for like 10 min tops

Guess there's not many to help in this issue. I just faced the same man. Don't know what to do. It won't go to flash mode, SEUS don't recognize, neither the flash tool. Reinstalled PC companion thinking the drivers have gone wrong but that don't seem to be the issue.
So im here with a bricked x10, lol but not funny ppl
Someone(recognized developer) in the forum said that the X10 can't b hard bricked. Also, i got this problem 2-3months back. But now its alright.
SEUS did't find the drivers for my x10. Then i went to my friends home(who also has x10) and flash my x10 using seus. I found drivers because drivers were already installed on my friend's pc.
So, i just want to tell you that:
Flash your X10 from that PC which already has drivers installed.
Remember your x10 can't b hard bricked. It will be semi-bricked.
Sorry for my bad english

I'm not a DEV
But I played and bricked and de-bricked my x10 a lot and I literally installled and tested almost all ROM's the dev's posts
So, this is what I feel would've happand.
First of all, u didnt mention if u were on 2.1 or 2.3.
Because rooting 2.3 is not as easy as 2.1.
Now, like what most people commented, you root must have been broken.
Also, what I feel is that your battery stats were wrong.
That means, your battery was not holding the proper charge what it was actually "showing" (charging is infact is software based).
Now, what you actually can do is, find another person who has an X10 near your place.
Put ur battery in his cell and check whats happening.
If its really out of juice, then use "his" phone to charge your battery.
Charge it to full and then put it back to ur phone and try starting your phone.
If the vibration thing is happening, then ur battery is good.
Now open flash tool, and remove battery from ur phone.
Connect USB to phone and comp, and press the back button and hold it, and while holding it, insert the battery.
From my experience, you should be seeing the green light now, and my openion is that u flash the 2.1 generic firmware and then rroot the phone first, install recovery and after doing these, install any of the custom ROMs available.
I'm using Wolf's ROM v 4.04 and its very stable.
All the best and report back if your problem is fixed.
ok, i got my optimus t back from lg a couple days ago after i bricked it and right when i turned it on it was having problems. it turns on, loads and all that good stuff but once the screen goes to sleep i try to awake it and only the buttons light up and the lcd stays off until i do a battery pull. plugging the phone into my charger, putting the battery back inside and turning it on lets the phone start as usual but once the lcd goes to sleep it never comes back on again.
what should i do? i think i only did one factory reset so far and i have reflashed it to the stock firmware to see what that would do but it hasn't fixed anything. should i do another factory reset AND reformat the sd card since i only did a factory reset the first time? i'm hoping someone has seen this before and can help me with fixing the problem.
this happens to the phone regardless of whether the phone is rooted or unrooted.

i had the phone a couple weeks before i bricked it and i never had these problems with the hardware. after i posted the original post i was able to somehow get my phone in emergency mode. actually, the first thing i did was remove my sd card and reformat it on my computer (backed up everything on dropbox and my computer). i tried to flash my phone and the problem showed up when the screen turned off during the flash. i spent a couple minutes getting it back into emergency mode and was able to get it flashed to the stock ROM without it getting stuck. then i did a factory reset and the problem is still occurring. i'm thinking about updating to 2.2.2 if i can actually get back into the OS one more time and then see what happens. if i can't do either then i'm going to have to call LG again and hopefully they will hook me up with a replacement or repair it somehow.
thank god i bought a new nexus one yesterday ($260) so that should be here monday or tuesday to hopefully tide me over until the nexus 3 so the optimus will become my backup.
So ive been using JMT since the v8 and ive never had a problem before. One night i decided to get the X1 and everything seemed to well..the next day i was chargin my phone and i noticed that the phone was off, the chargitng icon was not showing.
I turned to phone on and it would go halfway the splash screen and then it would go black.. then it would start vibrating the way it vibrates when u turn the phone on and it just does that. I tried doing a battery pull but everything that i put in the battery the phone turns on automaticly.
Ive tried going to recovery but it just wont go in. PC doesnt detect the phone and it looks like theres a 5 second gap before the phone does the same hthing over and over.
I dont know what to do because the phone doesnt let me do anything.No recovery,no nothing.
could somebody help me please?
what can i do!? any other ways to totally erase the whole phone! even if i have to fry the motherboard so i could get a replacement lol! but i dont want to do that tho that would be my last solution
it looks like you may need a jtag to fix the phone, it seems that the X1 may have bricked your phone.
Hi all, i got my Galaxy S2 about a year ago (9100 normal, non AT&T or verizon or another else ) and i never encountered problem like this. One day i was texting on the toilet, and unfortunately it fell down on a bowl of water and its all soaked. I just turn it of and take out the battery, when i turn on it again, the start mode triggers, the icon Samsung igt 9100 is showing up and it keeps blinking and blinking, bootlooping. many of my friend said that it is fine and just wait for the water inside the machine to dry up, like one week or so. but after one day i tried to turn it on, the yellow triangle below the 9100 logo is gone ( i think its resetted and everything is gone ) and it went to download mode. But after that, i was not careful enough and my battery fell off, and the phone is turned off dead. and after all of that, i can't even turn on the phone, nothing happened, its like a dead phone without battery.
i went to many forums and many people tried to fix it using the download mode USB jig recovery kit, i bought the i9100 USB jig on the eBay, its arrived today. I tried to plug in on my phone, and i try to turn it on and even every boot method ( download mode, and recovery mode ) and holding the power, still nothing happens. what should i do...?? does that means my cellphone is dead forever? :crying::crying:
You should have put it in a bowl of dry rice for a couple of days to completely dry it out. I think you turned on your phone too soon with the risk of having it f**cked for good.
You seem more accident prone than Mr Bean.
Stick it on eBay

when i plugged it into my pc, it works, it says that device is not recognized but it still shows, i think it might be some hope, can somebody help me
Unfortunately it is dead, because you did not wait til it dryed out before starting. You fried the flash chip which contains the information for the phone to run.
Only way to fix it is to replace the motherboard. Which means it becomes a new phone with different IMEI.

plug in the charger and let it charge for few hours. You should have left the phone to dry before switching on

will it cost much?
I doubt there's anyone here who can tell you how much. That will depend on how much parts & labour are in your country. Send it in & find out.
someone please help me, i did the full GPE conversion in september and all of a sudden for the past few days my phone screen wont turn on after i take it out of my pocket and sometimes restarts on its own. i reset the phone and still nothing. i want to know how can i turn my phone back to stock with s-on and the rest? i think i have to return my phone. as of right now its a gamble whether i can turn my phone on. i have the stock 531.11 downloaded but not sure how to go about it since my phone can shut off on me suddenly. i really don't know what to do. phone was great until it got the 4.4.2 ota, after that it started to act weird and got worse. weird thing is when i do root check it says the phone is not rooted. s-off though and i tried to change "unlocked" and get s-on so i can get it fixed under warranty but only thing i was able to do was to change it to "relocked" since the phone shuts itself down.
when the phone screen is off, i dont hear any phone rings if i call that phone from a different number, but my pc recognizes it when i connect it with the usb cable with the screen off.

so last night i got the phone to work again and i woke up everything was good until i was transferring files to the phone from my pc and one file did not transfer and a message popped up on my pc to try again or cancel, i hit cancel and my phone screen turned off and would not power on until i had a flash light on it and pressed the power button. i really dont know what to do. in the off screen state, if i disconnected it from the usb it and connect it back my pc recognizes it and the folder opens up like it would normally.
