hi, yesterday i just bought a bricked motorola defy, since i read that was almost imposible to brick one...i thought it'd be easy to unbrick
ill explain:
black screen, no recovery, no bootloader mode....
theorically it had android 2.2
when i conect it to the pc it connects and instantly disconects (someone posted the same and he said that randomly it'd connect succesfully)
battery shows 4v (so itd flash)
white led shows up when i connect the usb without battery and turns off when i put the battery
rsd cant recognise it (windows neither)
also tried a linux script, but it neither recognises it...
i thought id be an uncharged battery + wrong sbf
but i cant get it to connect...
id apreciate fast responses
May be your battery will b low....Try to charge it and than try...
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
i already charged it with the mvgyber fix... i guess the red cable goes to the + (top right) and the black to the - (top left...)
if so, i tried.
also tried a linux script, but it neither recognises it...

What script did you use?
Is it sbf_flash? Please give us more details! Like the name of the script/binary file you used, the parameters passed at runtime, the error you received after running the script/binary tool.
Did you tried to see if any information is added in the linux log files while connecting the phone to your computer using a "microUSB to USB" cable?
i tried the sbf_flash one, (there are others?)
it says, waiting for phone... or something like that...(i dont have linux here)
if the battery shows 4v it isnt a battery issue am i right?
Not as far as I know, but sbf_flash is a binary tool and since you said that you have tried a linux script I thought that you are using something else.
Basically, when a device is connected to a computer running linux, via USB, you can find informations about the attached device in some log files (/var/log/messages or /var/log/udev).
If/when you will have a linux around, let me know and I'll try to help you (if I can).
tomorrow ill have linux access, ill post logs...
btw... has nobody seen a solution for the connecting-disconeccting issue? ive seen few posts with it, but anyone posts a solution, just someone saying is luck...
i thought electronics had no true randomness,
im getting this at /var/log/messages

at udev, i cant see anything related to the phone...
Those messages appear in the log file exactly when the phone is connected to the computer?
In my /var/log/messages other information appears when the phone is plugged in (like device manufacturer, device serial number etc) but all my log messages go into /var/log/messages (I'm using Gentoo at home), but in Ubuntu it seems that most of these messages go to /var/log/udev.
What version of sbf_flash did you use? The last version is 1.23 (mbm).
A few days ago I came across an article describing the udev configuration in order to be able to connect to the phone using adb. I don't know if this will help you since USB debugging must be turned on and for that you need a running android device. I'll send you the link via PM since I do not have enough posts in this forum to be allowed to write url's in the post.
ill post the last lines of the udev log, at night (3h actually)
but somehow i dont know why, but the behaviour is the same, gets conection, looses conection...
maybe is a hardware issue...
Here's what's added in my /var/log/message when I connect my (working defy) via USB: (USB debugging is not turned on and the USB connection is set to charge only)

ANSWER!!!
Flash sbf file using rsd lite............IT WORKS........I DID IT...........I THINK U R A NEWBIE
im a newbie, but, rsd cant recognise it, when i plug the phone without battery:
-white led ON
-put the battery (here i can press whatever button, no change)
-white led off
-pc detects new hw (motorola flashing device)
-3seconds
-pc looses conection with motorola flashing device
(even pressing show device at light speed once conected, i doesnt detect anything)
and since on linux i get same result (connect - disconect), it means isnt a pc issue (also tried on another pc)
got an answer for you too

It's the little "arrow down" key on the left side of your keyboard. Just above the "CTRL" and "arrow up" Key.
hallo.. i'm newbie. i got some proble in my defy
I made a mistake in ROM CM7: I "install the 2nd init". and the results stuck on the boot logo .. : (
I finally went into the boot loader, then flash again use 3.4.2_177 SBF-005_NORDIC (do not wipe the data) .. remain stuck at the boot logo. and I try to use flash SBF-Stock.UKTmobile 3.4.3_11 (not wipe the data) and the results .... still stuck>> it's just an animated logo appears only.
AND THEN ---------------------------------
for this case:
I want to get into stock recovery:
1. defy turn off, turn the power button + volume down (hold a while)
2. logo appears>> android +! (the menu does not appear anything)
3. and I do not know anymore what should I do: (

you did tap the lower right corner of your screen when android appeared, didn't you?
If right corner doesn't do the trick, try instead pushing both volume buttons at the same moment. Worked for me

Hi all.
I have seen this in another kind of devices but haven't found thread related about Kindle Fire (1st gen).
A little introduction:
- My kindle was in CM10 and I noticed it started to be detected as Unknown Device in Windows, so
- I used TWRP to flash 6.3.1 stock ROM BUT forgot to wipe before flashing and rebooting. In that moment my situation was an endless loop wih the Kindle being rebooted after 15 seconds aproximately.
- I modified a cable to make it "factory cable" but even in fastboot (plain kindle fire logo) the Unknown Device was there.
- After many tries I managed to make a Reset to factory defaults in Android in the 15 seconds
- Currently the kindle is in stock ROM but still is not correctly detected.
Of course, I have re-installed the drivers in my computer and even tried in a fresh windows installation with no previous drivers without luck. Also, booted an Ubuntu USB with SoupKit and no lsusb changes after plugin the device (just a few dmesg messages about being unable to enumerate USB device on port).
So, if some of you have any idea to try, please tell me. I have the factory cable and the back cover of the kindle removed... ready for anything!
Thank you for your time!

From what I've seen, this is usually a problem with the bootloader. How or why, I don't know. That being said, Firekit w/shorting trick seems to be the most successful at resolving this issue.

I'm trying to follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636883 but I don't know how to check if the "short trick" is well performed or not. Is there anything I should notice? At this moment if I make the short trick and plug in the usb connector, nothing seems to be working in the kindle but dmesg is continuously showing errors like previous ones.
Regards,
Are you using Firekit? What command?
"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh"
I'm still in the step of the process when I make the short trick, plug the usb and the kindle should be detected. Should I try the usbboot commands even when there's no kindle entry in lsusb output?
YES absolutely! And hold the power button for 15 seconds to make sure the CPU isn't running before attempting the short.

The command is ./usbboot aboot.bin u-boot.bin; ./fastboot boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img but it keeps stopped in waiting for OMAP44xx device....
I'm going to try a few times more. Thank you!
BTW, what are the next steps? Because this unit is working properly but the USB port to transfer data between computer and device: it boots, it loads stock firmware, and works properly.

Are you using a 32bit or 64bit machine? If you have SoupKit installed, option 2 should have installed 32bit libs, but sometimes it fails...mostly due to Ubuntu servers and them trying to make 32bit libs obsolete. If you're running a 64bit machine, try installing 32bit libs again and see if you get any errors.
Code:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Also since you have SoupKit installed, run it and select option 4 to launch the Firekit. There's really no difference in using Firekit and manually entering the commands for Rekindle but it makes things a little easier. Select "usb_install_fff_twrp". The important thing to know about the "usb_fix_parts..." and "usb_install..." commands in Firekit is that they both use "fastboot boot ..." instead of "fastboot flash ..." to install TWRP and FFF. Meaning, if you reboot or shut the device down before actually installing a bootloader, the device won't turn back on and you'll have to do the shorting trick again.
That being said, from the moment you make the short, you only have about 2 seconds to plug the device in and have Linux detect it before the CPU resets and you have to start all over again.
Hold the power button for 10-15 seconds to make sure the CPU is off before attempting the short.
Launch Firekit and select "usb_install_fff_twrp". When the command is run, you will get the "Waiting for OMAP4 device..." prompt. Let it wait.
To do the shorting trick...
Something I have found to be most useful in this situation is to use a sharp pair of tweezers or safety pin to make the short.
Keep the device flat on a desk or table with the USB connection pointed away from you. Use one hand to hold the short, one hand to plug the device in, and use your body against the other end of the device as leverage as you plug it in.
Using a safety pin, stick the sharp end of the safety pin into the short point and press it in a little to keep it from sliding off when you plug the device in. Squeeze the other end of the safety pin or tweezers to make contact with the metal frame and immediately plug the device in while holding the short.
If the tweezers slip or make contact with the frame before you are ready, hold the power button for 10-15 seconds to make sure the device is completely shut down and try again.
You should see something going on in the terminal to let you know it's working...let it finish.
It might take a few attempts to get the timing right but persistence (and practice) is key...don't give up.
Follow these instructions and I'm positive you'll get it working again. Good luck.
OK, it's a matter of time and try it.
My computer is 64bit, but I am booting a LiveUSB with Ubuntu 12.10 32bits, so no problem around it.
About the short, one friend of mine solded a thin wire in the point in the board and I only have to connect the other side to the wire to the frame each time, so it also seems to be fine. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1045562&d=1336355873
My main concern: once I manage to make properly the short trick and the process goes forward, what will be the next step? What should I expect of this usb_install_fff_twrp command? Will it fix the hardware detection problem automatically?
Thank you again for all your help, I know you answer a lot this kind of questions and your help is very valuable.

When the OMAP4 device is detected, you will see something similar to this in the terminal:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1262650&d=1345043823
That will temporarily install the bootloader, which is likely the cause of Linux not being able to detect it in the first place. When you see the yellow triangle on your Kindle, you'll know the Firekit worked. But you still have to permanently install the bootloader via fastboot (or TWRP if accessible) before you reboot the device.
Will it work to get Linux to detect it? Most likely, but there's no way to know for sure until you get a new bootloader installed.
On second thought...
I just realized you may not even have to do that in the first place. Lucky you? If your device is working properly as you said, boot into Android and open up the Terminal Emulator. Make sure the u-boot.bin is on your sdcard and enter the following:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/u-boot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
reboot
See if that works.
Yes, working with stock ROM but without root access. If there's any way of rooting it without connecting it to the computer I can do it and then use dd to override the block device.

Hey guys. I tried to flash TeamEOS rom latest nightly on my device,and the flashing process went fine. I was using the TWRP gummified version and it said it was all successfull. This is the link,and on the download pages there is Find7 version.
http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/rom-4-4-4-teameos-the-revival-nightlies.16320/page-25
The problem is,after flashed everything,my phone died. I think i made a mistake when flashed the modem package,which is supposed to be for the find5.. I didn't thought that it could make the difference,but it might have made.
Now my phone won't start,boot or anything. Simply died. Is there anyway i could try to bring him back to life before i send it to the warranty?
I can't reach recovery,fastboot or anything
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank's a lot

Okay. Try to connect your phone to your PC and see if your phone is showed as "QHSUSB BULK" Or qualcomm 9008/9006
Let me know if it shows that.
(go to device manager on pc to check that)
If it doesnt show, try taking the battery out and putting it back and then connecting to pc.

Hi there. I too am having issues with my Find 7 as well. I just bought it today. The previous owner apparently went to flash cm11 and he soft bricked it. The phone will power on to the start screen the the screen stays black and goes on and off. I can get to fastboot but not recovery. I have read in the oppo forums that I need to push the stock recovery too it but am unfamiliar with fastboot. I am willing to pay someone to get this phone working. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys!
I've spent the past... 7hr reading and trying different things but nothing seems to work.
Here's what happened: I was trying to install a custom rom which required a custom bootloader.
Everithing's good 'till I mistankenly flash the bootloader for Nexus 5 instead of 5X. And hell was unleashed... the phone got bricked as soon as I rebooted it.
It won't turn on, no matter the key combination: Power, Vol Up + Power, Vol D + Power, Both Vol + Power, the same while pluggin the USB to the computer, w/ and w/o the power key. It won't turn on.

If I connect to the TTY via screen, I always got the same response no matter what (I'm unable to reproduce it right now, but it was a 16 bytes [32 hex chars] fixed response, mostly zeroes).
So, I'm lost here.... the best response I found was to contact LG and ask for a replacement. So, I already sent an email to them. But the fact is, that I live in Argentina, and the phone was bought in USA through a friend, so I don't know if that option is gonna work
Every help is appreciated!
What can/should I do? I use Debian, but I've no problem using Windows 7 x64 if it's needed.
I'm on the same situation. I own a 32gb H790. I was taking random pictures with the google camera app, and suddenly it began to reboot, after that.. endless bootloop. I bought some usb c cables and tried to flash the original images (previous to that, it didn't had any mods, neither root). The flash somehow failed, and it didn't charge or boot since then, it only shows a flashing red light when connected. I couldn't enter recovery nor download mode either so the solution from the other thread didn't work for me. I guess RMA is the only solution for now.
I sent it to LG with a friend (I'm not from USA also), lets see what they say when they see it.

Device: Nexus 5X - LG H790 - 16GB
Hey guys!
I've spent the past... 7hr reading and trying different things but nothing seems to work.
Here's what happened: I was trying to install a custom rom which required a custom bootloader.
Everithing's good 'till I mistankenly flash the bootloader for Nexus 5 instead of 5X. And hell was unleashed... the phone got bricked as soon as I rebooted it.
It won't turn on, no matter the key combination: Power, Vol Up + Power, Vol D + Power, Both Vol + Power, the same while pluggin the USB to the computer, w/ and w/o the power key. It won't turn on.
On linux, the device is displayed as:
Code:
Bus xxx Device yyy: ID 05c6:9008 Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode)
And there's only one device generated, a TTY:
Code:
/dev/ttyUSB0
I can't see partitions. If I try to dd the device through the bus:

As far as I know, you are now the owner of a beautiful paperweight. Short of replacing the motherboard, there isn't anything you can do. Hopefully you get a free replacement, but I wouldn't bet on it Best of luck!
Well, thanks guys... I got a reply today from LG, here it is:

So, I'm gonna post how it goes, for future reference.
I found someone who fixed a similar brick on another LG phone. I think you can find similar images for the 5X.
I'm not allowed to post links yet so google "hard brick to hell and back"

Did you tell them how your phone was bricked? I mean, that you flashed the bootloader for Nexus 5.
I'm in a similar situation (hard brick after "trying" to install original images) and I'm running out of ideas.
I met exactly the very same problem, flashing Nexus 5's bootloader to 5X. Moreover, I'm in the similar situation with you. I live in China and bought 5x in US.
I tried many methods I can find but none of them works. Finally, I send the phone to a local LG Mobile Phone service shop. The staff said the model is never sold in China but they can try. About two weeks later, they told me that, the phone is repaired. I got it yesterday. Until now, it works well.
And yes, they did charge 600 yuan (about 91 usd) from me. Not bad. Wish you have better luck.

I didn't actually told them what happened
So far, they told me I need to ship the phone to US and they'll repair it. The only issue now is trying to find the buying receipt from BestBuy, since I don't have it... damn!
Try using the LG UP tool.
Hi, I got this bugger for way too big price (40 bucks for non-working piece of garbage), but I needed it because nobody helped me with reflashing original Nexus 7 I botched up while flashing (can't even get to fastboot mode).
I need to resurrect it from death. Apparently, somebody was tinkering inside, one antenne lead is broken, USB port seems replaced with very wrong one (it fits, it sits, but clearly it is not original) and the main, biggest problem is that the OS is corrupted.
All I keep getting is Google logo, can't boot into normal mode, can't boot into recovery mode. Can get to fastboot interface though. But there is one problem - the USB debugging was never activated, so when I plug it into computer in fastboot mode, all I get is "Unknown USB device (device descriptor request failed)". When I try to manually install Universal Naked Driver, it keeps *****ing about wrong driver version or not compatible hardware. What I have to do to get it working except sending it to Asus and pay 5 times the tablet's price to get it fixed?
It was going to be replacement for that botched Nexus 7, but now it seems that it will cost way more...
Have you not tried the Nexus Root Toolkit by Wugfresh? I reckon you should give it a try good luck.
Yeah, that came around my mind too, but there is one problem. USB debugging was never turned on and now when I plug in the tablet, it shows in device manager as Unknown USB device (device descriptor request failed). And because there is no working communication (it doesn't show up as tablet), I cannot ADB DEVICES it, returns me empty list.

USB debugging on/off is relevant only in ADB mode and has no impact whatsoever in fastboot mode. Please boot it in fastboot mode, connect to PC and quote USB device descriptor number from device manager.
If it is 18D1:4EE0 then you have to resolve driver issues on your PC
If it is 0000:000x then you have to fix hardware problem in your Nexus
I posted more info in this and this thread.
USB Device Tree Viewer shows it as vid_0000&pid_0002, so there is hardware problem with the tablet.
So, if I understand it correctly, it can be caused either by badly seated cable or bad USB port. Sice the one that is there is clearly changed for the wrong one, I will try to order proper one and see what will it do.
By the way, I already tried to reseat the ribbon cable, no luck there.
