Ok guys, I feel this is just the end of the games... I was flashing back the Roto JME fw with the swype keyboard issue fixed that I have just made, when I accidentally unplugged the tab while starting flashing and in downloading mode.
Now all I get is a logo with a phone an alert symbol and a computer .
Windows as well as Odin see it, but I can't do anything, as Odin hangs on waiting for connection, or something like that.
Is there anything I can do?? Or do I really have to take it to the warranty? And if I will have to take it to the warranty will they see I have previously flashed a beta rooted image on it??
Here's what I am talking about
Please I need some help..
Thanks
Is there no recovery mode by buttons like the captivate? I hate seeing all the bricks

I've heard plenty of goofy stories about bricking devices over the years. You must conclude the following:
1.Flash your device in a locked room to avoid your wife/ child pulling cables or pressing buttons.
2.Don't touch anything while you're flashing. This is why many people that could help you will ignore you after reading about 'accidentally disconnected' wires - they just assume you're a moron not worth helping.
3.Read instructions carefully and write the procedure out in your own words if its your first time.
I've been flashing for years and haven't had a brick yet. Not crossing my fingers either because it has little to do with luck and much to do with care. In this way its a lot like making babies...

Good advice.
My only semi-bricks (that involved an hour or two of trial and error to unbrick) resulted from some manner of overzealous cable unplugging.

Well, first of all thanks for ur nice words. Let me just say that I was about to disconnect another device from the hub where the GTAB was attached and flashing at that time, and yea, I accidentally unplugged the GTAB instead of the other device. I may be a moron, thanks, and thankfully not everyone believes themselves as god, which is a good reason to not help other people who are in troubles, even if for stupid things sometimes... If everyone were thinking like u we were probably still at the age of 1400 ...
Mate it wasn't a barb directed at you personally, but you weren't exactly careful were you?
I'm no god... but I've never bricked a device either, and I've been flashing for over five years now. To top it off I've almost never owned a device which could be taken back to the shop (90% of them come from other countries, not my local retailers). Perhaps this has taught me to be careful.
In any case, what I said holds true, and if you ask around I'm certain you find most will agree.
Dude, you have the best avatar! I can't keep my eyes away! Good luck, and don't worry about mistakes - that is one reason this forum exists.
Cannot start my Gtab after trying update JMC
...Hello everybody,
I am really worry about the fact my Gtab doesn't want to switch on after trying to flash it. I tried all process to put it on download mode or recovery but nothing work.
Do you have any idea about it ? Is there a specific procedure to switch on (eg : press power for 1 minutes + blablabla).
My provider doesn't want to take my Gtab in warenty before my contract is activated (the 4th of february).
Thank you for your answer

I also had a semi-bricked VZW Tab, with the phone-triangle-computer warning graphic at start up. (I flashed a new boot loader, and failed to read the instructions closely enough. Either the file was incorrect for my device, or the drivers were not loaded correctly, but my tablet was borked.)
Using heimdall 1.3.2 (with the correct drivers, on a 32-bit windows system), I clicked the "close pc screen" option to clear the warning.
I then held the power button until it turned off, then held vol+ and power to re-enter download mode. Once in download mode, I used heimdall 1.1.1 to flash the zImage from SCH-I800-Stock-Rooted-2.3.5. My tablet (still unrooted, and still stock?) booted, but sat at the SAMSUNG logo for ten minutes or more. (It announced its progress, telling me periodically "five minutes remaining", etc.)
Once it finished, my tablet was revived. I will now follow the above advice and read all instructions very carefully, re-writing them in my own words to ensure I understand what I'm doing, before I try this again.

...like REALLY bricked
bumping this old thread in hopes that someone can point me in the right direction...
Got my p7510 (10.1" wifi retail) stuck pretty badly when trying to restore stock ROM coming from Overcome (it came rooted from ebay). From what I gather from the forums, seems like my bootloader is still locked.
whenever I attempt to flash a BOOTLOADER, PIT, or PDA using ODIN it connects, initializes, and gets stuck on "Flashing boot.img"
I think the recovery partition is damaged. When I boot using Power + Volume Down, I can get to the screen where you select recovery mode or download mode but recovery mode will not load. The screen flickers when I select recovery, but goes nowhere. Download mode works.
I tried using nvflash to force the right software onto it but I get error 0x4 (usb write failed).
There has to be a way to restore the stock bootloader and get this thing running again. Tablet will not boot android at this point. I have been searching the forums for about a week now, anyone have any ideas?
I really need some help with my Zio m6000 cricket junk. I bricked it and can't figure out for the life of me how to fix it.
I read post after post in this forum and did everything I can think of and nothing is working. I have all the programs I think I need to dump the rom on my pc. None of them will even read that the phone is connected to the pc.
I sent message after message and only a few have responded but none knew how to help me. I thank those who did try though. I know there has to be a way to unbrick a Zio phone by now. None of the posts in the forum explain this in full detail because they are ALL from a year or more ago, or just don't explain in todays times how to do it.
I'm so close to just taking my hammer and smashing the phone and take the total loss with it. I can't affored to buy another phone, and Cricket service eats a **** for helping me replace the phone.
CAN ANYONE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELP ME INSTAL, RUN, PROGRAM WHAT NEEDS PROGRAMMED OR WHATEVER IT IS I NEED TO DO TO GET MY PHONE WORKING AGAIN????????

(SOLVED)
I'm not the most experienced, so I am not entirely sure if this will work, but I know it fixed my bootloop issue. Have you tried doing a factory restore? To do so, hold the power button and the volume down button. A screen will pop up, simply navigate using your scroll ball and select the factory restore option. Note that this will erase all Apps and user data on the phone (mine stayed rooted and kept some of the settings I changed via file manager). Sorry if this doesn't help, I hope that you figure it out soon. I'm sure some people on here can help you more than I can.

3. Run the updater let it run its course.
4. Let it reboot (or manually reboot) - it may take up to five minutes to boot.
Thank you guys for all your advice
Thank you all, sinisin got me on google talk today and helped me step by step to reflash my whole phone to the new rom and get it working again for me . I would NEVER have done it myself, if anything I would have made the phone worse trying. lol, I have to thank you all for your help but most of all the biggest thanks has to goto sinisin for being very patient with the whole process and getting my phone running again for me. THANK YOU SINISIN.
So far i'm killing the battery for the calibration part of the instructions and all seems very good so far.
I also want to say and give extreme credit to all involved with making the custom 2.1 rom and getting it working. THANK YOU GUYS. ITS AWSOME! to what I've seen of it so far. I haven't messed with it just yet but getting ready to reinstal most of my apps back to my phone and DELETE clockworkmod from its sd card so i hopefully never brick it again using that crap. I knew better and was such a dummy noob for trying to use it.
Thank you again guys as well as you sinisin,

Hey ive tried this method but it keeps looking for the phone in debugging.
It only stays in Fastboot and thats the only thing that loads up.
Ive tried flashing the system.img's that i have found all say successful but it always boots back up into Fastboot.
Let me know if you have another method or any suggestions.
Thanks
If your M6000 Zio is a brick, run the leaked 2.2.1 from Zclusive. You will need to put the Zio into modem download mode then start the update.

If it is going into fastboot your not pressing the correct buttons on boot up. You have to push the Red, Green and Both volume buttons simultaneously and the phone will boot into Modem Download mode.
Update Failed
Ok I have installed the Modem drivers from Kyoceras website and made sure its connected in download mode. It says download mode on it.
Then I downloaded and opened the 2.000CR.5 etc
When it looks for the phone it says Update Failed.
Never picks it up. And I am running Windows XP just incase you wanted to know.
Its SP3.
Any ideas on why its not working for me?
Thanks again everyone for helping
Well, after a TON of work, and unsuccessful attempts at getting this, I finally was able to get signal and working data on my phone. I know some people had had trouble with the process, so I'm going to post my guide here to help you all out.
There are two parts to this tutorial. Only one is needed, however, to get ICS to properly work, so find the one that fits your current predicament AND ONLY USE THAT PART OF THE TUTORIAL.
If this is your first time installing the ICS rom...
Follow the LG flashing tool guide that XBSall has linked in his ICS Rom post. You can also find it at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244490 . However, when you install the ROM, DO NOT USE THE .FLS FILE HE PROVIDES. Instead, download the v18A baseband and install that one with the .BIN file he provides. You can find the v18A baseband here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338383 I believe. After you flash the entire thing, you should have ICS! Easy!
If you have the ICS Rom installed now, but have no signal...
This is a bit more complicated, but still very easy. After I flashed ICS, I was not able to flash things using LGFlashTool like I could in GB. This is how I ended up flashing the baseband to fix my issues.
We need to set up your phone to connect with LGFlashTool first. To do this, use XBSall's restore to GB method, located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942836 . You will need the OMAP4BOOT files, but you will need nothing else.
Follow his tutorial up until step 6. When he tells you to insert the battery, insert it AS FAST as you can. I messed up on the timing the first few times. Once I saw a greyscale LG logo, and a few other times it just booted normally. Just try again if this happens. Eventually you will get the screenshot in step 9. DO NOT remove the cable when OMAP4BOOT tells you to, as well.
Follow step 10 and 11 of XBSalls restore tutorial, and then follow step 12. When you set up LGFlashTool for the reflashing, simply select the v18A baseband to flash and then start the process. If done correctly, Port 1 should state READY. Repeat steps 3-9 in his tutorial. It will start the flashing process. Once you get an error, close the program, and remove your phones battery and disconnect it from your computer.
Turn on your phone, and receive signal. PROFIT.
Hope this helps you guys out a bit, and remember to hit thanks if this helped you.
you beat me to it lol I was just about to post steps just like this

still no signal... ill try again... atleast closer to fixing... attached is the error im getting... when i go into About and check the baseband it still has V30
EDIT: When into System Settings > About Phone > Software Information ... it is showing the following information.
Baseband Version: XMM6260
Software Version: LGSU760-V30b-OCT-18-2012
Can anyone help? The guide dosent show you how to install the OMAP4430 drivers, but i found out myself how to do it so whatever. Problem is, now "OMAP4430 USB Device" is dissappearing and reappearing over and over again when i boot with volume up. Can anyone shed some light as to how to fix this?
And my phone isnt bricked, i can turn it on right now and everything.
EDIT: Found the problem, you need to hold VolUp after OMAP4430 pops up. Funny, it says in the guide to let go when it pops up. Fixed my mistake though.

Hello everyone,
I'm currently trying to get ICS installer on my rogers P925. I tried many times on two computers (both windows 7 one is 32bits other is 62bits) to flash the bin and fls files you are recommanding but it seems like even if my OMAP 4430 device driver is correctly installed via the program files texas instuments dll it seems it wont stay connected at all and just pop open and closed sometimes when it seems to want, and it makes the flashing procedure impossible to me any ideas?

XBSALL helped me out! It's finally working now! My problem was with the port. He got my phone rooted, changed USB port (I mistakenly was changing the wrong one), installed TWRP, put his ICS cleaned mod version on through TWRP zip install. It's all working now full bars of 3G!
help?
Finally got to flash ICS on phone but it was giving me errors everytime I wasn't using original baseband associated with .bin file. Now, I can't get it to boot in fastboot even using OMAP4boot I don't really understand when I need to insert fast the battery... OMAP4boot doesn't seem to get my phone...
You will always get errors as these are not full kdz files. If you are stuck at lg logo..try pull batt replace then hold vol- and power button til you see a factory reset screen do reset and boot..that made mine boot.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough, but my phone boots now, it's only I had to flash it with the O3D fls file and not the .fls I was supposed to use so I get a working ICS without any network.
Now that i'm trying to complete step 2 to get te right baseband, i can't get the phone to boot in download mode even using OMAP fasboot flash. the software just don't say anything appart from "waiting for phone".
So I was wondering if I was doing anything wrong

it's almost the 10th time I follow the guide step by step by step... I think or i'm always doing wrong something or it's something else with my phone... I may have misconfigured one port but i do NEVER NEVER at all in the process see OMAP4430 device in my device manager.. so the little windows tool is not doing anything... maybe if someone wanna teamviewer they can see for themselves what it gives.
Wahoo, ICS + network
finally found that there was the correct driver for my computer in the omap4boot folder and not in everyother one I was installing, flashed with the guide after i found this driver and everything works fine
only thing i'm struggling is to set apns to get 3G any tricks?
Do a Google search for AT&T 4G APN (or whoever our carrier is). You can also create an APN with the word "phone" in the first two blanks, name and APN (I think), and it should give you access to 3G and HSPA. I hit 6.7mbps on Speed Test.

Complete newb here, i haven't done any development work or even tried rooting or flashing my phone. Over the last couple of days, apps have started crashing as soon as i open them, and then yesterday i rebooted the device and it won't go past the Motorola logo. I've searched through a few threads and there isn't a simple enough answer or procedure to follow to get this working. Also most similar issues have USB debugging on etc, whereas i have no developer settings on at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated
You didn't search enough for an answer i see. But okey for the lazy i will help you, no offense
Can u access (AP)fastboot and can u boot into recovery from fastboot? Have a look at the link in my signature on how to get in fastboot and then in recovery.

Literally my first post mate, how about you cut me some slack. I spent about 4/5 hours searching last night and even took the phone apart. If there is an answer please point me in the direction of it. There are countless threads where the issue is the user has loaded their own ROM or flashed the device already or something like that, which caused the system files to become corrupted. But as i mentioned i have done nothing to the device except for a data wipe a few months back, and there doesn't seem to be any threads where this just happened out of nowhere. I have booted into fastboot, recovery and done the partition cache & data wipe and rebooted, that was my first step.

Hoho, okey, my words have offended you and I am sorry for that.
I can't simply give u an answer if you only said that it doesn't boot and u looked for something to fix it. There are many fixes for many sorts of problems. Also if I knew u have tried to wipe the cache and data I would give u a totally different answer. But u had not mentioned anything about what u had done to try to fix it.
For now, if even a data/factory reset from recovery didn't work I suggest u need to try to reflash the whole stock firmware. See in my signature the link to an index thread about the phone. U can find there the ways to reflash to your stock firmware and hopefully fix your issue.
If u need some more help to flash stock firmware, don't hesitate to ask here.

As long as u read everything carefully u will be good to go. Just one reminder, use the latest stock firmware JB(or u can get more problems). And rsd-lite 6.1.x

So, this is all brand new to me. I'm using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974568
The firmware is from here - http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=13
- I chose the 4.1.2 UK Retail as i purchased the phone through Virgin Mobile (UK)
Drivers and RSD 6.1.6 are now installed so will try now
Is everything right so far?
Seems to have worked, but it seems a bit different and some apps like hangouts are unavailable now, even though i had them before. The firmware i chose was UK Retail, however i am not 100% that this is the one to use as i bought it through Virgin Mobile (UK).
Hangouts should work just fine. Strange.
But nice that all works fine now

Im having the same issue described on this thread.
My phone doesnt start, it stays at the logo screen. I've tried to recover, factory reset and nothing worked. I have access to the (AP)fastboot screen.
Later then i saw this thread, i've did everything as described at your tutorial, tried all the versions of the RSD Lite (6.1.4, 6.1.5, 6.1.6), it cant detect my phone.
I've tried in two different PCs, tons of different USB ports, running as administrator, compatibility mode...the PC tells me that the USB is connected, but the RSD Lite doesnt recognise it.
I've tried using these two options of motorola drivers:
- motohelper_2.1.40_driver_5.5.0.exe (that i found at your post)
- MotorolaDeviceManager_2.4.5.exe (found another similar tutorial on the internet)
Am i missing something?
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks!

did you boot first into Fastboot-mode before you connect to pc?
1. Install Driver + RSD Lite
2. Boot into fastboot + connect USB
3. Start RSD Lite

Yep. Thats exactly what i did.
I tried only using Windows 8.1. Is it compatible?
I will test on a win7 PC later.
UPDATE:
Worked RSD Lite on Win7, it found my phone. I belive RSD Lite doesnt work on Win 8.1 (at least on my PC and notebook).
I believe my firmware version is this one:
Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.982.50.29002.XT890.Vivo.en.BR Vivo Brasil 537.6 MiB
Can i use the Retail version without problems? (this one: Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.982.50.29.XT890.Brasil.en.BR Retail Brasil 532.8 MiB)
Thanks!
Finally got my phone working again!
I got it running RSD Lite 6.1.6 on Win 7 and used the same Firmware version that i had (in my case: Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.982.50.29002.XT890.Vivo.en.BR Vivo Brasil 537.6 MiB), not the Retail one.
Also used the MotorolaDeviceManager_2.4.5.exe that i got from Motorola website.
My phone now is up and running like charm, no apps or configs lost, everything seems perfect (and also a little bit faster). Not sure what caused my issue, did nothing but normal use.
I hope everyone with the same problem can find this easy solution and follow the right steps (and maybe avoid Win8 to do the process).
Thank you guys for all the information :good:!
Good it is solved. It can happen to anyone. Just a small coruption or miss configuration can take out the android system. Luckily this almost never happens and u were just unfortunate.

i was freezing and uninstalling apps last night and must have removed something critical to the operating system. Now my phone will only load the Security Error screen with (authetication failure) in small print. i've been told that my phone isn't bricked but that i need to reflash the image. Im currently in Download mode but don't know what to do next. i have the rom image that i initially rooted the phone with. Thanks in Advance. peace
same boat ... but i don.t have the system.img in my storage
Try this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-recovering-bootloop-twrp-t3167361. Try adb pushing the image to your phone if it still recognize the connection
adb push system_image_name.img /sdcard/system_image_name.img

Okay, sorry for suggesting programs that don't work

If all else fails, try to restore via the TOT method. Instructions can be found here
Any luck?

I tried to root my ATT LG G4 H810 running H81010I using this procedure: how-to-root-the-att-h810-lg-g4 page at androidexplained.com ... I now get a "Security Error" with "Authentication Fail #11" everytime it boots up and then shuts down. I believe I used 10g instead of 10i version (which I downloaded from the root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765 page at xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/), but now cannot seem to use any of the recovery methods because I do not know how to push the proper [system.img] file to the root directory. I can get to the "Firmware Update" screen but the hard reset function does not appear to work.
Can anyone help?
Hey hey i'm also having an authetication error with my LG G4 on sprint. I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO THO. Sorry for the caps i'm seriously freaking out because no where on my phone in the settings could i find out if it was LS991Zv4 or Zv5 or whatever i was so i used the method that seemed to work for most people and now i'm just sitting here crying because i just GOT this damn phone ;w;
i can't find a KDZ file for my phone anywhere ;w;
and the TOT file requires me to log in to the LG Flash tool? I'm so confused ;w; rooting motorola devices back in the day wasn't as troublesome as this ;w;

Download LG Flashtool zip, install LG Flashtool ( dont open the program) in the unzipped files copy paste mega.dll, copy this file to C:\LG\LGFlashTool and replace de original file... after that Run the program and you was to able to flash TOT file
Also stuck
Hi, saw you helping a lot of people. Hope I can be next, lol. I'm attempting to repair a botched root attempt on H8110. Apparently, the first rooted image was not the correct one. The phone is stuck in a boot loop with "Security Error". I can get into download mode, but can no longer USB copy the correct image over. What steps can I take to get back on track? Thank you!

Well you're gonna have to use LGUP to restore using the TOT.
