[Q] Can someone ressurect my Desire z? - G2 and Desire Z General

Hey there,
I have a Desire z that was completely stock, no mods, no roms, S-on and all that. One day it had a hissy fit because it was trying to update all my apps via GPRS (didn't have the playstore app yet) and I stopped it. From then on, the phone kept on locking up, freexing, hard rebooting and so on, so I reset it back to Factory and installed playstore first.
Well that was all fine for about a month when the phone suddenly turned itself off, then got stuck in a boot loop for about 30 reboots, then it would work fine, then it would boot loop again and so on. So I entered HBOOT, tried to do a reset from there, and the phone froze...
Now the only thing I can access on the phone is the HBOOT and FASTBOOT menu. I don't have ADB access, so I can't push anything onto it (tried all the drivers I can find, ADB will recognise phone in FASTBOOT but not HBOOT). I have tried the official HTC Gingerbread updater, to no avail (detects phone in fastboot, tries to reboot into hboot, then hangs. Booting phone in HBOOT+USB and running that reports the 120 error, Battery below 30%). I took the rom out of the temp file and put it on the SD card, rebooted the phone, and it starts top update via that, but hangs on the first step (Flashing the bootloader partition)
I have tried soo many things, made about 20 Gold Cards, no idea if any of them were correct or not. I tried running the official HTC update on an XP machine, which is known to not show the 30% battery error, but the drivers wouldn't install.
So, at this point, I have a phone that won;t boot past the HTC logo, Hangs when updating via anything, no root, S-ON, no ADB access, no recovery mods, NADA.
So.. over to you guys...

[Q] Spica doesn't turn on

I had Cyanogenmod 6.1.1alpha8.1 on my spica. Recently it got a little bit laggy so i decided to flash it with odin to restore the original firmware and install everything else from the beginning. I tried to flash it with I5700XXJH6. The flashing went fine, but when spica started booting, only the first, static bootlogo showed up and there was even no progress bar. After 20 minutes nothing had happened so i tried to flash it with 1.5, then install Lk10 to get into recovery mode, so i could get access to the phone's shell. Unfortunately, after flashing everything was the same - static bootlogo and no progress bar. Installing LK10 went fine, but the phone still wouldn't boot into recovery mode. I tried many different ROMs and one of them worked - the system booted properly, everything seemed to work at first glance, but when i inserted the SIM card and input the PIN code, the phone got stuck on "Unlocking SIM card". I tried rebooting many times but it didn't work.
Once again i tried to flash it with odin and everything was the same as before. I tried a few times, but now there's no download mode and when i connect the phone to the charger, nothing shows up on the screen.
Is there anything else i can try to do?
i had and solved the same issue yesterday.
I think part of the issue is maybe with a previous FileSystem conversion and another part with data/cache from previous Roms.
Try to make an install as clean as possible.
- I5700XXJH6 with Odin
- LK2.08 with odin
now you have an acessable recovery.
- boot the phone and put the CyanogenMod 6.1.1 alpha8.1 (found on 'forum dot samdroid dot net') on the root of the sdcard.
- shutdown the phone.
Important: disconnect the phone before booting in recovery, else it will boot normaly.
- boot in recovery (Volume down, accept call, on/off button)
- apply the downloaded zip.
reboot normaly, if it loads normaly, yay!
If it doesnt load (wait 5 mins to be sure) pull out battery.
reboot in recovery, and wipe data/cache (factory reset)
reboot normaly, if it loads normaly, yay!
If it doesnt load (wait 5 mins to be sure) pull out battery.
reboot in recovery, and make sure data,cache and system are rfs.
to change it to rfs 'advanced>filesystem conversion'
reboot normaly, if it loads normaly, yay!
if not send me a PM.
I already tried installing I5700XXJH6 and LK2.08 but neither the system nor the recovery mode would load - only the first, static bootlogo showed up. I can't try again because the download mode doesn't work any more and when i connect the charger, the screen remains black.
As I wrote in the first post, i managed to get it working once, but it had problems with the SIM card, so i tried different ROMs, which seems to have broken my spica entirely.
Is there anything i can do to restore the download mode?
im assuming you tried starting downloadmode without it being connected to a pc.
I dont know how to restore downloadmode, perhaps the guys at the samdroid forum can help you out.

Bootlooping LS980, previously rooted, stock recovery.

Ok, so i rooted my LS980 from day 1. A week later, I dropped my phone and cracked half my screen Regardless,the phone was working fine for a month or so. Then..... Along came the LS980ZVA update.... My phone kept telling me that the update was downloaded and ready to install. I kept ignoring it of course.
So one day, after work, I pull my phone out of my pocket and it begins to boot, stays alive for a minute or so(with zero signal and no touch input), and then begins to boot loop. I assume that my phone managed to update in my pocket, so I tired to boot to TWRP and restore a backup. This only sent my phone back into the bootloop
Next, I tried restoring my phone back to stock with the LG Flash tool. Long story short..... Half the time while in download mode, my phone will say it's rooted and the other half will say unrooted. And now im STUCK WITH STOCK RECOVERY!!!! I managed to get usb debugging enabled and can change my PC connection mode before it loops, but so far no rooting method works and I can't get any ADB commands to work.
Every time I issue an adb command it returns "error closed."
I can get into download mode, stock recovery, and can manage to get the phone to stay booted for a maximum of around two minutes or so...
What can i do!!!???!?!?!?!? My software still says i'm on on ZV7 firmware.... What can I do with stock recovery, no remaining nandroid backups, no adb, and a bootloop...? Maybe there's a solution utilizing linux...?
Any help would be sooooooooo appreciated!!!

Stuck in boot loop - soft bricked

My 2012 N7 is stuck in a boot loop. It is stock 4.4.4 and not rooted or bootloader unlocked.
Sometimes it will hang during the boot animation and start over, if it makes it through a complete boot I get about 10 seconds before it reboots again, sometimes a random app will crash before that (usually TV) but not always. That means I can't make any system changes (turn off MTP, usb debugging), or if I can do it quickly the changes don't persist or there isn't time for my PC to update the drivers.
I have tried restoring through the recovery mode multiple times, that didn't take.
I've tried using WugFresh's NRT v1.9.3 to use its "Flash Stock and Unroot" feature and after downloading Google drivers so it can talk to it during fastboot mode I was able to get it to attempt to flash both the 4.4.4 factory image and 5.0 factory image. None of those worked either, I think maybe because I can't get the USB debugging working. The process goes very quickly and spits back various FAILED (remote: Bootloader is locked.) and nothing happens, just sticks at the bootloader screen. Even tried to unlock the bootloader via the NRT in case that would work, got as far as the option to unlock the bootloader and erase everything, that didn't take either.
Every thing I've tried so far just keeps giving me constant reboots with all my apps and data still there. The Android laying there with his chest open is mocking me now and I'm stuck on what to do next. I need help or a point in the right direction, please I am running at my wits end with the blasted thing.

Device won't boot up.

Sooo as the title says, my phone wont boot up.
i have a Samsung Galaxy Core (prime version) and i tried to root it with kingroot (because i used Kingo Root and it was really buggy) and while i was rooting a message was saying that the phone might restart and sth like that.
So my phone did, and restarted at 47% of the root and from then my phone wont boot up. (the Samsung logo keeps loading, not frozen)
I tried simply restarting (power+down volume button), hard resetting via recovery mode, wiping cache, rebooted through recovery mode, pulling out the battery.
Nothing.
I have also tried to connect my phone to my computer, and it finds my phone but i can't check my phones files.
So what else can i do?
i am kinda new to android phones so yeah :/

Help with strange bootloop

So, my G4 Plus got itself bricked out of thin air. I got it last year , unlocked it ages ago, tried some ROMs but decided to go back to stock+ because of pesky camera problems.
Earlier today i was using it normally when it froze and a long vibration started. With no other options I made a hard reboot and it started up again, only it didn't... The boot animation came out all choppy before rebooting itself again. Sometimes it lasted longer, sometimes a bit shorter but it never fully booted up again. Back home I booted into TWRP, flashed cache/dalvik, nothing. It DID get to a full "G" logo, then rebooted itself again. Got a ROM into the SD card, started flashing, froze, reboot again. Tried formatting everything, same thing, froze, reboot.
Just about the only things I can do with it are boot to TWRP and do anything that doesn't involve storage (so pretty much useless) and bootloader.
I also tried just about everything in my power to flash it on ADB/fastboot, but windows itself won't recognize the thing. All sorts of drivers, command lines, windows test mode (for driver certificate shenanigans), nothing worked. I even tried the same on a netbook with win7 since my desktop doesn't have a single USB 2.0 and I heard ADB has trouble with 3.0, nothing again. It doesn't recognize the device at all. They do recognize my girlfriend's G5 by the way, but seem to want nothing to do with my crippled-down-to-bootloader G4+.
I need some help guys, any clues?
Remember:
-Not your everyday bootloop
-Stuck with bootloader and limited usage of TWRP (i can copy files from SD to Internal with no problems)
-Neither Win10 with USB3.0s nor Win7 with USB2.0s recognize the phone at all, at least in this state (every driver out there already installed in every order)
