Asus FE375CG Bricked - Asus Fonepad 7

Hello,
my FE375CG is bricked: when I turned it on, it's stuck on INTEL logo.
I tried this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fon...w-to-unbrick-soft-brick-t3381263#post67938512
but, after third passage, I can't turned it off, it remains stuck on Intel Screen.
So I waited battery discharge, but when I plug to recharge, the tablet turned on and stuck on INTEL screen, I' can't proceed to the fourth step: I can't maintain + and - and power on my device for 4 seconds because it turns itself on, remains on INTEL bootscreen and I can't do anything)
Have you some suggestions? Should I throw it in the trash or there are chances of recovery ?
(sorry for my poor English)
EDIT: I think I've choose the wrong section of the forum... sorry!

1 - Go To Fastboot Mode
Turn off Your Tablet
Press ( Power + Volume up )
When Tablet Vibrate leave power button , keep pressing volume up

there are numerous threads around about people who had custom recoveries and performed the official update. As a result the tablet semibricked and only enters the recovery like in your case.

In a pickle as well
Here is where I am at with this "no download mode" issue.
Rooted via Kingo. Sideloaded TWRP via ADB. Sideloaded most recent CM nightly via ADB. Sideloaded GApps via ADB. Rebooted. Landed into CM boot animation with no end. Waited 10 minutes. Rebooted. Same boot length, no OS. Launched TWRP. Wiped everything except external SD. Why I did this, I don't know. I sometimes make rash decisions when stressed.
I can boot into TWRP but I cannot seem to get Download Mode to work. I have installed and uninstalled the official LG G Pad Drivers 3 times now in Win 8. I can get the tablet recognized in the Device Manager however the LG Mobile Support Tool does not see it because no Download Mode. I have tried 2 diff USB cables, different USB ports, no change. I tried Vol -, then plug in power. I tried Vol - and Vol + then plug in power. Nothing.
Help?
---------- Post added at 03:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 AM ----------
I re-read the 3 posts that were linked in the previous reply. I retried all of the steps and here is the one that I think worked. I did a full cycle. I booted into TWRP. Turned device off. Held down Vol - and Vol + for about 5 secs before I plugged in the device. LG Mobile Support Tool could not see the tablet. My PC recognized the device but said the drivers were not loaded correctly. I unplugged the device but left it in Download Mode. Plugged it back in and left the Device Manager open. Drivers loaded ok, LG Mobile Support Tool connected. Updating recovery currently - 1.5Gs to go.

Stupid question, but are you sure you are doing it right? To enter download mode, first turn the phone off. Then hold both volume buttons, and plug in the USB cable to your computer. Do NOT press the power button. Is this what you are doing?
Also, are you saying you rooted an F180 KitKat with Framaroot?!?! I find that very hard to believe, as it failed for me, and other people also confirmed that it didn't work...

The same thing happened to me .. The phone didn't show DOWNLOAD MODE. ... i still flashed the stock kdz by these steps
1.. switch off ur phone
2.. keep the up and down volume buttons pressed and insert the usb cable
3.. open Kdz updater ..
4 .. click read phone information. .and wait for a minute
5.. if it even shows a slight progress seen in the green bar , then you have a go..
Notes
:1.. if the kdz updater even hangs and stops responding while reading ur phone info.. and takes some time.. ur phone is connected in download mode even it shows the slightest progress in the progress bar ( green coloured)
2... if u cant switch off ur phone due to frequent restarts. . just keep the cable connected and the volume buttons pressed while it is restarting
[you can also see ur computer's device mgr for ur phone connection ]
then just flash the Kdz as you do..
I HAVE DONE IT MYSELF several times when my phone didn't show Download mode on the screen.. but cannot guarantee it'll work for you too.. I I'd recommend you to give it a try as it always worked fir me..
BEST IF LUCK

follow these steps.. :if you have less than 1 gb kdz file
1) Download the latest KDZ from LG's server for your phone via
the app below (kudos to the creator)
http://www.mediafire.com/?cgeb6o5osy2yl9c
2) Make sure you have LG United Drivers already installed,
otherwise download from below
http://www.mediafire.com/?82nt1aeh04aqa3m
3) Download LG KDZ Updater
http://www.mediafire.com/?sj5y073xal03ntw
4) Download the manual adb wipe batch file
http://www.mediafire.com/?ru7erfxsz7p7s3p
5) Put your Optimus G into Download Mode by switching it off,
attaching the usb cable to the phone, holding both the up and
down volume buttons at the same time and lastly inserting the
usb cable into the computer; wait for the drivers to finish
loading if doing it for the first time.
6) Unzip the downloaded updater zip file and run KDZ_FW_
UPD.exe. Use the settings below
Type: 3GQCT
Phone Mode: CS_Emergency
KDZ file: navigate to the folder which you have saved the
downloaded KDZ from the step (1)
Click Launch Software Update and wait for the flash process to
finish
7) Your phone will restart itself when IParam = 90 is displayed
and proceed slower until you see IParam=1 again (which
signals the end of flash, you can safely exit the program then
and remove the cable from the phone). If phone boots up
normally, congrats, skip the steps below and proceed to use the
phone as per normal.
However, this most probably will not be the case for newer
Optimus-es, as the data partition somehow wasn't wiped even
when KDZ-ed, remaining 'dirty', thus causing bootloop or
security infringement.
8) If the phone is stuck at the booting up LG/Telco logo, you
will need to manually wipe the data partition.
9) Force the phone off by holding the power button for appx
15secs.
10) Put the phone into recovery mode by holding the volume up
and home button concurrently, then press the power button. Let
go of all the buttons after you see the LG logo on screen for the
2nd time and the screen goes blank thereafter (backlight may
still be on). The phone will kind of reboot and then enters
recovery mode. Repeat the process if you did not get it the first
time.
11) With the phone in Recovery Mode, connect it to the
computer, wait for the drivers to load (if doing it for the first
time), unzip the wipe batch file downloaded earlier from step (4)
, double click on wipe.bat to execute the wipe command.
12) Your phone will auto reboot when wiped and (hopefully)
boot as per normal.
Hope with this simple guide fellow members will feel safer when
rooting or removing non essential LG wares from their Optimus

hey budy i'm a noob i don't understand what should be needed to delete and replace with what and where is this script make it clearer if that is possible (i don't want to brick my G just want to go back to stock)
ps. so easy to go to custom so hard to go back to stock

broken screen - any way to recovery data?

Issue description:
My LGOG has broken screen - touch doesn't work.
I need to backup my data, but there is a lot of obstacles:
* usb debugging is disabled, so i cannot use adb,
* usb connection is set to 'charge' mode,
* phone is fully stock (kitkat - no root, recovery etc.)
I checked few solutions:
* USB OTG - does not work,
* flash recovery over fastboot - i can't boot into recovery i can access 'download mode' and 'hard reset mode' - in both cases fastboot doesn't see connected phone.
I have no idea what can i check in next step.
Maybe there is a way to extort phone to turn on usb debugging or usb mtp?
In addition phone is connected to wi-fi.
Thanks for your help
Try teenybin tool and then fastboot latest TWRP
Steps (i am not responsible for any data loss or anything )
-When you are done with teenybin you can go into fastboot by powerkey + volume up (phone Will vibrate )
-after a couple of minutes( we are not in any rush though, so leave it for 5,6 minutes) it will be in fastboot.
-flash TWRP through fastboot. (It will be done in about five minutes too, dont rush)
-then press volume down two times then press power to enter recovery.(if you dont see TWRP then just power off and get back into fast boot )
(phone will restart but no vibrations .my phone takes about 5-8 minutes to get into recovery so be patient and it might look it is stuck on google logo,yes Google )
-then connect your phone to PC when you are in recovery and your phone will be connected and you can transfer all your data from your phone.
This is how i unbricked my optimus G and simply copy paste ROM into phone and my data was there.
I have write it down as if your screen simply dont turn on but if LCD works then it will make sense.
Navigate in fastboot through volume and power keys no touch involved.
Plus i am not sure if download mode works after teenybin or not so if you plan to repair screen then don't do it or read teenybin threat more closely than me if download mode really works or not.
Plus teenybin will unlock bootloader and install recovery. And after that you will see google logo when you will turn own phone rather than LG's one so don't panic.
Again * I am not responsible for any data loss and your warranty will void*
---------- Post added at 03:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 AM ----------
There is another catch when you use TWRP for the first time a step comes when you need to use touch screen before it can be fully functional so i wish your phone is connected to your PC at that point which i think it will be other wise use older version of TWRP. (Find yourself) and for fast boot you need to have minimum adb and fastboot and lg specific drivers installed on your pc.
P.s follow teenybin steps clearly.

Zenfone 2 stuck on Asus boot screen (unable to get to fastboot)

Hello, my Asus zenfone 2 after a restart will not boot up anymore, once turned on, it will go to the Asus "in search of incredible logo" with "powered by android at the bottom" and will stay there for 1-3 minutes then turn off, vibrate in 2 little bursts and do the same thing it did before, and it never exits out of this stage, i have tried booting to fastboot (volume up and power) but nothing happens , i really need to use the phone and any help would be appreciated
Use xFSTK-Downloader tool before installing this tool, Install Intel SOC-Driver and Then XFSTK Dowloader and choose proper Recovery files for your model (ZE551ML and ZE550ML) it will repair the Bootloader and enable you to load into Normal Mode Recovery (Fastboot) from there you can try to Erase Cache and Data and try to rebot normal, if fail then try to install Raw Image with the help of Asus Flash Tool, all the tools and files are available in other Help forum with links...

i have previously hard unbricked zenfone 2 no display only vibrate issue....
I have managed to fix the problem
So after hours of messing around with this i came up to a tutorial on youtube which i will link, he provides the files etc and a full tutorial, one thing i did encounter however is the xfstk etc programs do not want to work on anything other than windows 7, so i ended up running them in a virtual machine inside my desktop
right so as a new user i am not able to paste new links so either type in "Asus zenfone 2 stuck on asus logo", the video is by "Nimish David Mathew" or just paste this after youtube.com. "/watch?v=9FsdnIrnQYA"

LG G7 bricked

Hello. I tried to install Android Pie on my LG G7 ThinQ and it failed. When turning on the phone it's showing only one thing (attachment). Tried to enter to download mode, but it's going back to this screen from attachment. Tried LG Up but it's not recognizing device. Can somebody help me? I don't want to give it back on warranty or to support.
hello, the same thing happened to me, I wanted to flash the 9.0 with lgup and when I reached 98 I launched error, my lg g7 now only enters fastboot mode and with the cmd I can execute commands like fastboot boot and fastboot devices, but lg up not recognize. Someone to help please ??
Here is picture
You can try with usb connected, press and hold volume up before restart to download mode to LGUP flash again (try with 8.0 or fresh download fw).

Same with me when cross-flash from HK region to EU region, always to flashboot or recovery mode.
With usb cable connected with PC (your G7 always in fastboot mode) force restart by press and hold volume down + power until screen turn off, release two button and fast press and hold volume up before LG 7 logo. My G7 boot into download mode.

- While holding Volume Up key connect your phone to PC using USB Cable (Don’t leave volume key while connecting)
- Release the Volume UP key as soon as the phone goes into Download Mode.

@vuhothang, @tripticonachos, @DenisVelev, @Lith02, @Social_Psycho84, @Prosjak, @Wilmer25
Guys, I called you in one message as it seems we all had experienced the same drastic issue with the phone got bricked on the update process. We all probably used LGUP and on the update somewhere on the %'age progress (in mine it was 91%) the process stopped so we needed to force reboot and after that we got only fastboot menu.
Once trying to enter download mode, upon connecting to USB, the download mode title frame blinks for a split/second and it goes all way into fastboot only, correct?
Having said that - I believe it is vital not only to update how you resolved (or still resolving) the issue but how it happened we stepped in that deep sh!t overall...
On my particular case - I had bought the phone with branded oreo software, what I wanted was to (a) force-upgrade to Pie (as the brand operator is still very late with the Pie update) and (b) unbrand to open or brand Orange as I wanted the VoLTE and VoWiFi working. I used the LGUP 1.14 and tried uppercut but it did not work in my case (probably because of antivirus software something was permanently blocking) so I found the common_dll file which resolved the issue and the progress started. However, as mentioned - at 91% it stopped and phone died. I moved it to LGE service, they replaced the mainboard as it is under warranty. I suspect I used some sort of invalid DLL file, probably that caused the process crashed.
As a postmortem - I regret that in panic I force-rebooted the phone, it was certain the system won't start and now I realize it was also a high risk it will be bricked but you know... just tried to resolve instantly. I wonder what would happen if I would not reboot but leave the phone in download mode (still hold on 91% but still alive) and in that state would connect the phone back into LG Bridge software or LGEtool - possibly it would be recognized by the firmware auto-flasher inspected or fixed and it would reboot itself properly into download to resurrect...who knows.
I am looking forward your status guys - where are you with the fix and actually how did you go into that trouble - so what flash method you used ? You know, to avoid that scenario in future...

I investigated the problem of why it stopped at 98% and it is because of the issue of the ddl file, before any flash by lg up it is better to prevent and replace the common ddl file, which I did not do. just in case, I still have the phone in fastboot mode, I have not been able to find a solution yet.
So.. Ive actually managed to get outta fastboot and into quallcom9008 mode.. (Deliberately..) But.. Cant do **** ib that mode just yet.. Software not available.
Now i read about resetting while in thar mode via test points. Will let ya know if there comes anything from that..
(Btw... To get into 9008 mode.. Hold power and vol down while in that gawd aweful fastboot tutorial menu.. And tap the vol up button fast and repeatedly.. If it resets and you have a blank screen.. Ya there..!! If it just resets to.. Well. Fastboot.. Ya didnt rap fast enough.. Do it again.
To exit 9008 mode.. Just hold power and vol down till bootlogo comes up..
It aint much. But maybe some1 more clever can use that info and get us outta that gawd damn menu.. plz..
