Have i permanently bricked my Phone ? Please Help Needed

I just restored my phone to stock rom using rom manager.. After rebooting the phone just keeps on blinking like every two seconds with the LG symbol. Is there any solution to fix this ? Please help..

can you get to "recovery mode" ?
pull out battery, does it still do it when turned on again?
i had this when i used (Rom Manager) to restart my fone into recovery once, it doesnt correctly follow instruction some times.. however manual CWM usually works.

which ROM you were in before?EXT3 or EXT4?
if you gone back to Stock, u used a smartflash method?did u do the three wipes?switch off the phone, then hold vol down + power key button until you get the second greyish LG logo and then choose wipe data/cache and dalvik (to make a fresh an clean flashing)and reflash the stock ROM...it should be fine then.
hope it helps

from reading the log (as it quickly fly's up the screen) you will see it does this automatically

try nvflash and try to update your recovery.. if your using cwm recovery use 5.0.2

thanks for the help guyz.. its fixed.

[Q] updated without rooting!!!!

hello guys!
don't know if any one have done this before but am sure i did something really stupid!
here i have a galaxy s plus
and i tried to update it to jelly bean!
and just went to "Echn!kan"
and followed the steps ...
but i still get back to the booting menu
and tried it lots of times but nothing happened
and thin i read some where that i should root the system before doing any thing !!!
and that's what i didn't do!!!
so now i have a really a empty phone!!!
dose any one have an idea to solve this?????

Can you tell me exactly which steps you followed and what the current situation of your phone is?
As far as I know you don't need to be rooted before you flash another ROM.
You're saying "but i still get back to the booting menu", do you mean that every time you turn on the phone you end up in the recovery? In that case you are experiencing a simple bootloop which can be solved in a couple of minutes.

u need to have cwm recovery before flashing roms . stock recovery wont work , i think u ended up in a bootloop ... did u made a backup ??
flashing with odin through downlod mode will solve ur problem
HIT THANKX IF I HELPED

this is the steps i followed!
-----------------------------
Before you Proceed –>>
Make sure you have Samsung Galaxy S Plus with model number i9001 only. Trying this tutorial on a different device may eventually brick your device.
You need to have Recovery Image installed on your device. If not then check out How To Install Clockwork Mod Recovery On Samsung Galaxy S Plus i9001.
Backup all your personal information on your device.
Use AppBak to backup all your apps.
Use SMS Backup and Restore to backup messages.
You can backup your contacts using gmail .
Charge your device battery with atleast 75% of power.
Make sure that you have device drivers installed for your Samsung Galaxy S Plus. If not, then download them from here.
Enable USB Debugging mode. Go to Options > Applications > Development > USB Debugging.
How To Update Samsung Galaxy S Plus I9001 To Android Jelly Bean 4.1 | CM10 ROM
First you need to download the Cyanogen Mod 10 Rom file and Google apps package and save it to a convenient folder on your PC.
Connect your device to your PC via USB cable.
Copy the downloaded file on the internal SD card of your phone.
Now turn off your phone and boot your phone into recovery mode.
Now to get in the Recovery Mode, press and hold Volume Up + Home buttons together until recovery mode screens turns up.
Now select ‘ Wipe data/Factory reset ‘ and confirm on the next screen by pressing power button.
Now select ‘ Wipe cache ‘ and confirm by pressing power button.
Now select ‘ Advanced –> Wipe Dalvik cache ‘ and confirm by pressing power button .
Then select ‘ Flash ZIP From SD Card ‘ and then select Choose ZIP From SD Card and browse to the CyanogenMod 10 Rom zip file that you copied to your device’s SD card in step 3. Select the file and confirm by pressing power button. The installation will start.
Once the installation is finished, install the google apps package by following step 9.
When you finish installing google apps package, select ‘ Go back ‘ and select ‘ Reboot system now ‘.
Now your device will boot with the whole new Look and feel of Jelly Bean 4.1.
---------------------------------
and i meant with getting back to the menu that when i finish installing the rom and google apps i get back to the recovery menu as nothing happend!!!
and now i was disparately trying to backup the system and same nothing changes!!!

Relax, we'll be able to get your phone up and running again!
As pretty much everyone so far was already thinking, you're probably just experiencing a bootloop. This is only a minor issue, I've had it too. Just follow the instructions you find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24831012&postcount=1330
If all goes well, your phone should start up in normally again. If you have any more questions just let us know.

Problem with my s3 mini GT-I8190 reboot every 20 or 30 seconds

I write here to help me solve a problem with the mini s3 after turning not spend 30 seconds when powered down or rebooted ...
I did full wipes and reset from recovery and nothing .. I did the * 2767 * 3588 # either .. by odin I did a wipeI8190.md5 and nothing .. the cel turns back on as your last finished reboot .. in fact if I make a modification before they shut down or restart the phone back and not assumes the change .. and the USB debugging is not activated
I wonder if anyone happened to this and can help me.. the warranty is lost
thanks

First thing is to see if stock firmware in odin can help.

if you see in the last part of the second video i did the factory reset and the phone restart without nothing happend

i think you should flash TWRP or clockworkmod, make a backup of your files also the present rom,
After that, flash with a new rom like Cyanogenmod 10.2 from Maclaw and revert with the difference, maybe the problem will be fixed..

i think the problem that the phone no assumes anything with flashing is because is before hes broke or whatever happend to this F%$& is the USB debugging is not marked.. but i dont really now :S

thanks for trying to help.. :good:

Hey Brother,
Very Welcome, yes i've seen the videos, try to mount the internal sdcard with android recovery and copy the twrp recovery, or use another phone and copy the twrp file onto external SD Card, there's an option on recovery called update.zip flash with it,
if there's no change at all, try to flash it with ODIN.. if it don't recognize due to absence of USB Debugging, there's a tool called Samsung GS3 Mini ToolKit. maybe can help you. if not try with samsung KIES .. if also nothing helped you at this point, search around the internet for your problem, maybe you can find some useful help..
Cordially, I.R.

actually its really simple to solve this problem...
1 - download and install the samsung drivers from here (http://get.maclaw.pl/?id=61)
2 - download odin here and install it.
3 - reboot your pc (this is the easy way to kill all kies processes and unwanted things) and make shure that kies dont start with windows.(if you have it installed)
4 - download this http://get.maclaw.pl/?id=301 (its the maclaw cm 4.4.2 for odin with the recovery twrp)
5 - flash the phone with odin(FOR THIS YOU NEED TO BOOT THE PHONE IN DOWNLOAD MODE, just boot the phone pressing POWER+VOLUME DOWN AND THE HOME BUTTON until a triangle and a warning appears follow maclaws guide -> http://maclaw.pl/installation-guide-golden/)... as soon as the flash finishes you'll be trapped in a boot loop (missing GAPPS)
just try to boot it the system should crash dont worry you're on the good way.
5.2 - remove the battery and put it back in (now you phone should be off)
6 - reboot on the new recovery that comes with the maclaw Rom you've just flashed for that you need to press POWER + VOLUME UP AND HOME BUTTON and mount you SD CARD.(you phone sould appear on you pc as a storage device or something like that)
7 - download this GAPPS here(http://get.maclaw.pl/?id=164)
8 - copy the downloaded GAPPS to you phone.
9 - go back to the 1st menu of the TWRP (a.k.a recovery) and you should see a thing saying install zip or flash zip (something like that)
9.2 - select the Gapps you've downloaded and flash it.
9.3 - after the flash finish select reboot system
9.4 - phone should start installing updates after the reboot
10 - wait until it finishes and the problem should be solved. now you can go back to the stock rom or stay with this rom.
the problem here is there's an app causing that problem. i had the same problem a few months ago.
the phone whould just crash or not function at all, rebooting all the time or from time to time...(it was one of the games i've installed from market)
after the phone is working dont install apps from unknow developers. even if it is from the market (believe wen i say you can get apps from the market that makes you're phone to malfunction).

Sadly, you are not alone with this problem. My experience was similar to yours. I solved it by throwing the phone away and buying another. Unfortunately, my second P7 has faulty flash memory and is almost useless. I'm now awaiting the delivery of my third P7. I suggest you buy another and avoid EMUI 3.0. Good luck!

A question? How can you do factory reset through settings when you have a bricked phone? I find this very strange!
If by any chance you still can load the OS, get the quickboot app in the market. It will get you to fastboot and than maybe you can install recovery.
All in all, I still don't understand, is your device bricked (can't load OS, just constant reboots - loops), or you just can' downgrade to EMUI 2.3!
Good luck

To install quickboot you need to load OS which you apparently cannot at the moment. Did you try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/help/stock-recovery-stuck-bootloop-t2875935

Try the method on the first post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/reverting-emui-3-0-to-2-3-t2934277

I fix it ... turned out i was installed wrong boot.img .. may be of huawei p6 and the stock recovery which installed doesnt work .. now instaled working and everything is ok Thanks 4 wish to help me !

I have a similar/the same issue as some people above described.
I reverted from CWM recovery to stock recovery (same stock recovery img as I used before succesfully). Now the phone can only boot to stock recovery (Reboot system now, Wipe data, Wipe cache, are the only options.
The phone is not detected by adb on that screen, so I can't try to reboot to bootloader using ADB. I also can't get into bootloader from volume button + power, because the phone boots immediately to recovery after I turn it off.
Fortunately I managed to solve it, so for reference:
Remove SD card
Place full (no incremental update) update.APP file on external sd card in /dload folder (B609: https://mega.co.nz/#!akcBCZBJ!4jLhlNsH54H-3DHeK3xPkzT3fWIHBR6QtbOllubdz5Q) using a different device (computer)
insert SD card
turn the phone off from the recovery loop by holding all three buttons (VOL+POW) at the same time. It's a bit tricky, but keep trying until the phone is off
Insert the USB cable in your phone and connect it with your computer (haven't tested if it simply needs power, or an ADB enabled computer)
Then immediately press all three buttons again
You should enter recovery again now, but the phone will immediately start flashing the update.APP ROM.
You will lose all user data though!

same problem here
Hello to all,
I had the same problem that my phone doesn't go on and time after time boot fails,
i read this solution and it works great i am updating my phone.
only i take the power + vol down and when the logo came switch vol down to vol up.

[Q] Problem with startup screen, what with this?

Hi
I try flash mobile with firmware Lollipop 5.0.2 (CyanogenMod 12.0) from http://novafusion.pl/downloads/
Flash process was a corrupted with error message.
When I then want flash I have problem go to boot menu, but finally I flash to original firmware who was modified by brand operator. But this change disappear on flash mobile.
When I start (restart) mobile, I have broken screen 10-15 second - show on the picture ( i8190n.jpg)
It is possible do with this?
Exist any repair firmware for i8190n?
Thank you

Dwonload the bootlogo from http://novafusion.pl/downloads/ > Extras > Select your model and flash the Original bootlogo with ODIN.

Hi soralz
When I flash "original-bootlogo-nfc.zip", problem startup screen disappear.
Problem is only logo? not working S3?
Thank you

I have the same problem with my s3.
And now i cant start recovery mode and isnt recognized by a PC..
Im dead.. . i dont fine a solution..
Write me if you have a solution.

Hi
When flash and your phone still reboot and phone was not usable I use some steps.
Get off battery.
Most useful is Vol+ + Home + Power (then write me repair....)
Vol- + Home + Power and then flash via Odin
Best regards

So you have screen with info s3mini but no logo samsung with swirl.
Hmm, try in recovery Restore default setting to get rom without any bugs, after this go to download mode, install non branding stock rom by odin - You dont lose anything without addons from cell operator. After install turn off phone, go to recovery and do clean dalvik and cache and restart phone. Now might work properly.
I have a simillary problem in Dec 2013 when Nova fusion bring firsts cm11 releases. It will help me with this.
