Problem: my battery is pretty dead and I don't have a ROM on my phone but a recovery what do I do? did I screw myself?
I think so. Take a new battery then install a custom rom or flash a stock firmware
You can still flash with a factory cable.

it turns out i may have just bricked it completely. It is now stuck on the boot logo and well i can barley access fast-boot it just wont let me get in many times but even then I could not reflash the stock software with RSD lite.
So Instead I chatted with AT&T and they put a warranty claim on it and are sending me a new one and I send the bricked one back. I am lucky on this one!

I have the LG L90 and recently the phone just wont boot past the bootloader. It kept stopping at the T-Mobile boot image. I look up how to reset the phone and that's what i did. Now the phone is stuck at the LG boot logo and wont turn on. Either way the phone was still stuck in a bootloop.
Now I've ever done anything to the phone, no USB Debugging, No rooting, No bootloader unlocking. So could someone please help me to figure this out. I'm trying to figure out how to make this thing work again, whether by flashing or what but the problem is the phone has never been rooted or tampered with.
What did you do? Are you rooted? Talk to Tmobile. They will gladly take it back and give you a new one because it sounds like a defect. They took back mine even when I was rooted
Friend gave me an lg g4 ls991 and i wanted to flash it to stock. i did via flash tools and it got all the way to 100% then when it went to reboot, nothing happened. Now its black and wont turn on at all. I cant even get to the hard reset menu. New to this and think i ruined the phone.
I have managed to delete the whole OS without backup and custom recovery. I also deleted the single launcher I had on my previous device. Tell me your biggest blooper you spent hours fixing.
When I was 11 yo, I saw "fastboot mode started" after a badly flashed ROM, I've decided to reflash the whole phone, which ended up in a fully bricked NAND Flash, being the partition table corrupted.
R.I.P LG-P500/h, you were a good friend.
I messed up real bad with my first Moto G. This was the time when Kikat 4.4.4 OTA came out and I should have checked the forums before updating anything(from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4) and needless to say, I had hard bricked my phone due to OTAs reacting violently with unlocked bootloaders. What's worst that my bootloader was unlocked I knew there was no way I was getting a replacement device but somehow I had fooled the warranty centre, because they couldn't boot to fastboot mode to check warranty status and in fact second they couldn't boot it at all so I got a freaking replacement device.

I think the worst I've done is forget to move a zip to my card before a reflash on a phone, meaning that I did a full wipe and RSD to a specific firmware then didn't have the ROM version that I needed for it. Led to yet another RSD session back to stock, getting the zip to the SD, then RSD again, then flashing the ROM.
Not too bad really, just time consuming.
My biggest mistake was buying a Samsung phone.

Don't worry. We all reach that point where we just give up on Samsung phones, because let's face it, Samsung is only worth it when you buy NOT low budget phones.

I told a guy I could update his rooted Kindle Fire HD. Ended up formatting the whole thing wiping the current rom, the backup and the zip I was about to flash. Tried for days and even rang in sick to work to get it working. In the end I ended up buying him a new iPad mini. Next day I sideloaded a rom on the damn thing!
Truth be told, I've still got it and it's a damn awesome little tablet.

rooted my first phone the first week i got it and bricked it, panicked the whole weekend trying to fix it and thankfully fixed it by the following week
My brother Put on a tempered glass On his gionee and dropped it In the road to test it .the fall only damaged the glass and but a bike ran over it
dropped it
without unlocking bootloader properly installed random buggy ROM on Moto E and then bricked my phone.!
recovered after 1 day of internet seraching.!
Bought a cheap ass Screen Guard from a local dealer. Wanted to test it out. Dropped it from about 5 feet in air.
Goodbye Phone. Yeah it sounds noobish. But I was 12 when I did it
using it as a "personal stimulation" device on a girl. you dont wanna use that phone after that. GG
I accidentally deleted my system partition.
hehe, what a story, 4 years ago, when i was 13,5 years old. It was the first time a had an android(s7562) phone, as i had only symbian(n97) (i had some experiences with symbian as i had flashed it with JAF with some better CFWs, curruntly using a CFW made by Omar_Bazaraa).
Then i started learning android with a symbian'ish background(how to install qt? where's pips,sdl?...hhhh).
I did some foolish things, the worst thing i did is that is downgraded it to GB's cm7 (WHILE CM DOESN'T EXIST TO OUR PHONE AT ALL!, I TRIED A FOOLISH WAY TO PORT IT!).
Well, this caused it to no longer boot in recovery, so i stuck in B.L until i reflashed agin.
Thx for reading,...
Trying to unscrew a screw in order to open the phone. The screw was stucked though and I accidently destroyed the display because it was right under it.
Considering it was my first and only phone, I had to spent lots of time without an phone afterwards
Haha! Install custom Rom in my clean android

The biggest mistake with an android phone i´ve ever made was flashing something to a device from a laptop and forgot to plug in the external power suplly. Exacly in the moment i started flashing a system img the battery from the laptop was down to 10% and it shut off itself. After that the phone was never again able to get a fastboot connection. Luckily twrp was already flashed on the device and so i could use it for more then one year xD
This phone has not been rooted and has not even been bootloader unlocked, but got stuck in a wicked bootloop and I didn't know what to do so I put it in the drawer and bought a new phone. My S7 edge got that pink line syndrome, so I'm getting it sent in for repairs so I need a spare phone for work, ASAP and I know there has to be a way to get this thing working (I can't remember what firmware it's on though).
TL;DR I need to figure out how to get this phone out of a boot loop, help!
