So, I've been seeing A LOT of threads regarding bricked devices (be it soft or hard bricks). So, I decided to create this thread, so everyone with bricked devices post here for help, instead of filling our forums and XDA servers with a load of topics with the same stuff.
If someone knows of a general unbricking thread, please PM me or tag me with a link so I can post on this post.
I will PM a mod to pin this thread to top.
To all brickers,

Just a tip: Try downloading Sony Update Service and following the instructions if you get a green LED blink on your phone, which is way simpler to recover without any problems.
Guys My ION LT28h got bricked during a recovery using CWM.
First It was a soft brick, i did something , random pressing of buttons made it worse. its on HARD BRICKED STATE now. Its been more than 5 weeks.
So after some research i found out that my Kernel is ****ed up. My phone is Boot loader Locked, so i cant flash the Kernel separately.
Now few of our fellow xda members told me to unplug the battery cable from the motherboard.
I have successfully disconnected the battery cable from motherboard, i kept it disconnected for one whole night.
Whats the next step ?
Will i be able to flash it with flash tool after connecting the battery to motherboard back ?
Will i be able flash the busted Kernel to a working stock kernel ?
Accidentally messed up and soft bricked Ion- LT28h.
xperia Ion LT28h
ROM: JB 4.1 Pure CyanogenMod Based on CM 10 FXP 218
kernel: GI Kernel v3 or v5
Recovery: TWRP and CWM
Rooted and Unlocked Bootloader
Hi guys, above mentioned were my previous settings. Had occassional reboots and sometimes it was kinda laggy that's why i decided to flash it to another ROM - supposedly to ParanoidAndroid. After following steps to install PA, my phone was on bootloops, was in a hurry then freaked out, i tried soft and hardreset, and tried booting on recovery both on twrp and cwm to flash properly as what was instructed however i may have flashed the wrong zips interchangeably with other roms and kernels resulting to a total messed up ion. i could have restored immediately to a saved CWM or TWRP backup right away however, i only stopped resetting when my phone suddenly stopped responding, no Sony logo, no Xperia logo, no boot, just backlight on, does not turn off, soft and hard reset no nothing. i guess until the battery went dead, then i charged it the whole night.
after reading most threads on recovering softbricked phone, mainly this {RECOVER SOFT-brick}[2012 XPERIA's]Recover ALL 2012 XPERIAs from SOFT-brick thread, and after a couple of days of red led, i constantly charged, i patiently waited(2days) still no green led, however i found out that i can access fastboot. (blue led).. i managed to get to this fastboot mode(blue led) ONLY after i soft reset or power+vol.up/1 vibrate the phone once the backlight lits up- on&off - for about less than a minute then it goes back to red led. (i'll be calling that stage as backlit-on&off-then-back-to-solid-red-led cycle) but then again if i go to fastboot, it will stay in fastboot mode during flashes and it stays there until the battery runs out and goes back to red led. then i charge my phone again, but
during fastboot mode, i have tried flashing the kernel, system and boot image. all via Fastboot command prompt.
and all were successful. there were combinations like, flashing only the kernel, tried flashing kernel and system, tried boot image only, tried all the same time, tried system only, tried different kernels, system and boot img, BUT STILL my phone wont even give me the sony logo screen.
then i thought i may need to wipe cache and userdata so i also erased cache and userdate a couple of times via fastboot mode command prompt. and yes fastboot does detects my phone. it can reboot to bootloader or just the normal fastboot reboot. so i have no issues regarding phone and pc via using fastboot command prompt. and Same thing - all flashes were successful,
i have flashed i think more or less than a total of 50 times, flashing different combinations. Still it goes back to brick mode.. backlit-on&off-then-back-to-solid-red-led cycle.
i'd like to add that i have also tried flashing via fastboot mode using Flashtool. (thunder icon+selecting 'fastboot mode'). i have flashed the kernel and system, tried kernel only, tried both same time, tried system with boot.img tried flashing kernel with boot.img too, tried different combinations. again, all were successful, but still same result.
it only goes back to backlit-on&off-then-back-to-solid-red-led cycle.
a couple of days after it went to green. flashmode finally! thinking everything will now be alright, i decided to flash it using flashtool via flashmode. I connected phone to pc, after the solid red led and after backlit-on&off-then-back-to-solid-red-led cycle. and the it goes back to red led then the backlit on&off cycle, after observing my phone for hours i then knew that after, i guess about a hundred cycle of backlit on&offs it really does go to green led by itself and if i'm connected to the pc and flashtool it stays on green led or flashmode, however if im connected only on a wallcharger it goes to green led but will only stay there for like 1-2 seconds then goes back to red led and then the backlit on&off cycle.
then i thought just maybe my battery really needs to die as mentioned, since upon plugging my phone on to a wall charger it goes immediately to red led and there's really no response on the phone except only if you gonna wait for the backlit on&off cycle the n press power + vol up then it will respond and go to fastboot mode or power+vol down which goes to flashmode. then i decided to reset the battery by carefully unplugging the ribbon cable and i did. well, initially it did (led was off for a moment then changed to blinking red then solid red) but i have to go to work that time and had to continue only after coming home from work, and that did not resolved it.
i may have flashed my ion a hundred times or so to this date, still no luck. i have finally decided to re-locked my bootloader- and yes it is successfully locked now. - thinking PCC/SEUS/SUS would get it back to life but i'm wrong - it just cant detect my phone. PC companion detects it as Phone/Tablet only then after selecting Ion on the phone list it always says my device is upto date and no available software. (sad)
I also noticed that flashtool does not detect my phone as LT28h. It only says that it is connected to flashmode. Is that an issue too. I have tried diff versions of flashtool from 9.6 to 9.11 all same. i have also installed fastboot and adb as well as flashtool drivers, it sayas all were successfully installed however if im connected via flashtool flashmode, none seems to be detected on device manager, tried reinstalling and manually installing the sony sa0103 adb interface driver however after installing i get an error unable to start device. even if my phone is connected still the device on devicemanager still has an excalamation point. i'm using windows 8. i have flashed successfully before when my phone was in good state, however now that im on brick mode it seems that all flashes i've done did not push thru. also those times that i have flashed my ion via flashtool it says something like:
phone should be connected with usb debugging on and enabled install on unknown sources. i have tried flashing it using win7 pc phone was not detected still, however flashtool stated and detected my device was connected on usb debugging mode, but have has errors during flashing though.
since my bootloader is now locked im unable to flash now via fastboot. before bootloader status says- rooted now bootloader status is- ROOTABLE.
i previously owned xperia neo and have managed to flash it successfully without any issues, also this is the 3rd time i had bricked my ion and managed to fix it before..
i also want to ask regarding flashing back to stock - does that mean any stock firmware can be selected? can be .233 / .68 /.20 or the latest ICS 6.1.E.3.7? coz i have basically tried to all of those mentioned. also is the reason that my flashes were not successful is it because i was currently on 4.1 JB ROM and im flashing 4.0 ICS stock? I also have TWRP and CWM backups on my PC and on internal SD card, is there a way for me to flash or restore those backups via flashtool?
I'm running out of options, i'm desperate and on the verge of giving up.
i dont want to believe that i have totally messed up and hard bricked my phone. I do believe that there is a solution to this, and my phone can be recovered without sending it over to repairshop.. Today is the 3rd week and still struggling to get my phone back to life (even just the sony logo) . any suggestions before i unlock again my bootloader? please help. Any help will be gladly appreciated, and many thanks to everyone for spending time on reading my messed up and soft/hardbrick ion experience.
If you brick your device while flashing kernel and device do not respond any way then follow this little difficult but 100% sure method.
- Dissemble your phone.
- Disconnect battery ribbon from motherboard.
- Reconnect battery ribbon.
- Fastly connect USB cable while holding vol +/-
- Flash Kernel or FTF FW.
Just looking for some direction on my Xperia Ion that recently got bricked while attempting to update to JB software.
Currently, it has no response except for plugging into charger giving a solid red light. I am unable to get it into flashmode and have already disassembled and disconnected/reconnected the battery to reset it.
Im gonna guess that the kernel is royally efed up at this point, Im unable to get it into a bootloop either.
What is the next step to solve this issue? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I think that you should charge it more to be able to go into flashmode. Maybe until the red light will go off or it'll turn into green. Then try to go into flashmode. Good luck

This is my first time got hard brick on my phone. I'm flash wrong ROM (it made for S but I flash it on SL) now my phone totally dead. When I put on wall charger it show constant red led and off several minutes later, try disassemble phone and disconnect and connect ribbon doesn't help to get flashmode and fastboot mode. Any help would be very appreciated.
EDIT: After disconnect ribbon battery I got notification on flashtool "device connected with usb debugging off" but led remains on constant red. Should I try rubber band tricks?

After disconnecting and connecting back the battery cable , you wont get access to flashboot/flashmode instantly. disconnecting the cable will reset the phone.
If you are getting red led means , its charging on low power. You should keep on wall charging for some hours , say 12 + hours.
After that try flashing the kernel alone , first . you will have to hold the flash mode button for sometime. say 5-10 minutes. then if u have enough charge in your phone it will flash the kernel alone. if u are successful in flashing the kernel, then charge again for some hours , 2-4 hours then try to flash the entire ROM.
Read the Thread Recovering Bricked Phones. This will help. I recovered my phone following the method shown in that thread.
Be patient bro, you can recover your phone, just that it will take some time

Thanks for your fast reply, but I'm already put on wall charger 1 day, and the red led got turn off (no led at all). I think I'll try rubber band trick tonight and leave it till morning.
Hey guys I'm having a problem with my Acro S... It's bootloader is unlocked.
It was soft bricked due to a command I ran on Terminal Emulator (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0). After inputting that command I safely turned off the phone (Long press Power button, Choose Power off). After turning off, phone was completely dead, no response. It was on 80% battery for sure. It happened last week Saturday (July 20). I then charged my phone for 2days+. On the first day (July 21), no red LED appeared, on the 2nd day (July 22), constant red LED appeared, 3rd day (July 23), red LED disappeared. I then prepared my flashtool for flashing the JB firmware .211 KERNEL ONLY. So I plugged in my phone with volume down pressed, I pressed it for 15mins! My finger was f*cked, after 15mins... nothing happened, RED LED just disappeared and I just heard the Windows USB sound. Flash process didn't start, phone didn't give me a GREEN LED. I tried it again and again and miserably same thing happens, can't go to flash mode. Tried the same with volume up button for fastboot mode but still nothing happens, the RED LED just disappears!
Should I just leave my phone charging on the wall socket even if the RED LED disappeared? To get green LED?
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME! I NEED MY PHONE SO BAD! :crying:

thks for sharing but i have alraedy solved my hard brick problem my phone is back and running normally
Later this night my tablet was working perfectly... I was charging the tablet that was with %1 of battery
Suddenly, the tablet turned off, and when I tryed to turn it back on, the screen started blinking, and I coulnd't even turn it on because it freezes every time i tryed to boot it...
I tryed restoring a Nandroid Backup, and it worked, for 10 seconds :victory:
The blinking started again, so I tried flashing a new ROM, maybe it could work, but no
I wiped the data, cache dalvik-cache, and formated system, but when I tried to choose the ROM, this message "Couldn't mount /sdcard" appeared
So, my last chance was to flash a firmware via Odin, but also, didn´t work
I enter into Download Mode, loaded the firmware, clicked start, and "FAIL" when writing "boot"
What I tried
_Stock firmware 4.1.2
_Stock firmware 4.2.2
_Odin 3.07
_Odin 3.09
_Windows 8
_Windows 8.1
First what was the % of the battery??? Did you say one (1) ? Try charging it all the way till it says 100%
Second do you still have custom recovery? If so go to mounts and storage and see if it says unmount in front of the SD card ... if so hit that and it should turn to unmount... then try again to find your Rom.
Hoping this helps you

Never flash or attempt to start a device under minimum power. That is rule number one!
Like the above answer, with the device off, plug in power and let it charge to 100%.
Start up recovery, and flash a backup ROM.
Not sure about windows 8. can't vouch for you there.

Sorry if didn't specified better...
When it got broken the battery was %0, and I don't know if it´s getting charged because the only things I can do es enter into Download Mode, or watch that message about a bad flashing.
And about the Recovery, it got lost when the flashing went wrong. Anyway something happened with the internal storage that "wasn't mount", when in "mounts and storage" menu appeared like mounted
You think that if I charge the tablet some hours, will I be able to flash through Odin?
Or maybe any other idea?

When the tablet is off and you plug in the charger there should a battery "popping" up and should tell you how many % of charge it has, just let it charge all the way to 100%
Once it is completely charged you should be able to flash via Odin.
But the internal storage is kind of worrisome to me, when you tried to flash you did not by accident have the re-partition checked? I hope.
Anyway wait till its completely charged and try flashing a Stock Rom again.

Try holding down the power button with the charger cable detached and see if that message disappears, it looks to me that the tablet is still on, if it does disappear plug your charge cable in and see what happens.

I had the same problem. In my case, i realize that it had happend a few days after I opened the tablet (n5110). After the blinking problem, I opened again and disconneted the battery with the power cable on. Waited for a few seconds and confirm that the blinking is same side effect of the battery disconnected or with bad connection. After reconnect the battery, everything ok and charging normally again. Good luck for you all!
I have My Samsung GTN 5100 with me.Last day I plug it for charging and I went out. When i back it was 100% charged and i just leave it as it is. Suddently I started continually looping 'Samsung GTN 5100 Note 8.0'
Then I tried to hard reset by using Power Vol down and home. It doesnt Work, then try to open down load mode. It doesnt wrok. I hv tried wit Odin and Kies. the device is not recognize bt the PC. is there any software or method for gard brick

i have identical problem. i disconnected also battery, but changes nothing. Any ideas?
I have similar problem and solved
I have similar problem, I left the phone charged, and suddenly the phone switched off and on again, the screen start blinking rapidly and stuck in boot screen. If I turned off and charge it, no battery signal pop, only empty battery with white circle (I thought it was stuck when the phone tried to show battery charging animation).
This is what have done:
1. Open the back case of the phone and checked the battery, and it was OK, but the phone still has same behavior after I put the battery back.
2. Tried to flash using ODIN and no luck, because the phone was not detected.
3. I suspect there was a connection problem between ODIN and the phone, so I checked the cable and PC USB driver, still no luck.
4. I am lucky have spare USB charger connector part (Female USB connector attached in the bottom of the phone with small PCB and ribbon cable). I replaced the part.
5. Try re-run ODIN and the phone was detected, I flashed it and my phone back to normal
I am not sure what cause the blinking screen, maybe there was some glitch in the software, but it is fixed after flashing the ROM using ODIN.
For undetected phone, I suggest you check the computer USB driver, USB cable and the connector. And for preemptive action, I suggest you force charging the phone, even no charging animation appear to make sure the phone is flashed with sufficient power.
Hope this helps you to solve the problem.

What about getting a new battery?
Hello everyone
So about a week ago I restarted my phone and all of the sudden after the Verizon logo appeared it shut down on me. I didn't know what was wrong so I went into TWRP recovery to erase the internal memory and start from scratch but that didn't work either. After the Verizon logo pops up it'll shut down. I can't restart it without taking out the battery. I tried to go into download mode and install the original software but that didn't work either. It'll go into download mode but then again it shuts off. The phone shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in the drivers and not LG. I'm guessing it's soft bricked but since it keeps shutting down after boot I have no idea what to do.
Hey Any solution yet? I've had a crap ton of problems with my G3 and just today, it froze, shut down and won't tun on without removing and re-inserting the battery...but the thing is after it the lg logo pops up for about 8 seconds, it shuts down. I can't even get into recovery mode.

Late reply but I can't connect to either wifi or data. The phone literally gets to the verizon screen then shuts off. I tried to reinstall the firmware but that doesn't even work since the phone can't stay booted for longer than 10 seconds. It won't show up in my computer.
Change the battery buy a new one guys
I have exactly the same problem. I had my LG G3 for over a year, sometimes it shut off after heavy use but yesterday it just started shutting off during boot, it won't pass the LG logo screen.
I tried putting 2 other perfectly working batteries (tested with other phone) and it didn't work.
Now it simply won't turn on completely!
we have to take it to LG about this, I didn't expect to have a high-end phone die just after the warranty expires just like that!
if anyone has a solution or a possible cause to this problem I would highly appreciate it.
Hi everyone,
First to begin, sorry for my frenglish.
My lovely G3 seems to be bricked since few days.
5 days ago, after a reboot, it stucked 30 sec on the moving LG logo screen and turned off. I tried to enter into TWRP, I had the TWRP menu but it suddenly shut off again. My battery was getting old , so I bought a new one ( a Polarcell).
Now I can't even get TWRP. When I switch on, I have sometimes LG logo five sec, sometimes just a black screen.
If I connect on USB, the device is not recognised (error 43).
If I try the download mode, I have the first screen with "download" written in very small and after a few seconds: black screen and device not recognised.
I installed LG drivers, Qualcomm driver... nothing much...
I'm kind of desperate, can't affort to buy a new mobile phone.
If someone has any advice... many thanks

Same thing happened to me, remove your battery wait 5 minutes, try again, it will last longer, also could you try flashing your latest stock rom with LGUP and report back? Mine doesn't bootloop only on latest stock.
Thanks, but the G3 was without battery during 2 hours.... I wonder how I will be able to flash anything :-/

You can try unbricking like this. Try to enter to bootloader mode without dealing with shorting the pins first, if you can make it enter into bootloader mode, you don't need to the short pins.
Thanks for the link, I had already read that but it's not very very clear. By te way, I think I 'll have to do the short pin because my G3 is not recognised as a Qualcomm, and USB keeps connecting disconnecting whend the screen is black.
Is it possible to fix this phone? I have been stuck on the fastboot menu for 3 days now and I have looked all over the internet with zero luck. The phone just vibrates once and then immediately goes into fastboot. Same with charging the phone. As soon as I plug a powered usb cable into it, it just turns on into fastboot mode. Rebooting the system and recovery mode don't work either. I tried to flash roms for the phone onto it with adb but it does nothing. It still says stuck in fastboot. Is there a way to fix it or is the phone now a lost cause?
Nevermind I will be getting the Red magic 7 so it doesn't matter now.

Hey I am on a new account so I ended up forgetting I made this post lol. But It ended up being a lost cause. It actually got worse for me because a week after the post it stopped turning on entirely. I ended up getting the Red Magic 8 pro because I couldn't fix it.
