Device Unbrick Service /CFW Service - Hardware Hacking General

Hi guys , just had a thought last night. My dad is always installing custom rom's on his android devices and last night somehow he managed to brick his HTC One (M7) installing Viper One :silly: ? I had the job of unbricking his device that had no system partition no data partition no recovery and a half unlocked boot loader (using s-on). I found the task reasonably simple and it was up and running with viper one in just under and hour. Then i was thinking back to when his samsung galaxy s got bricked and that was pretty easy as well. i find the task of unbricking phones enjoyable. I have had about four years experience unbricking phones and would like to run an unbrick service for the xda-developer members! I am able to Root phones , unroot phones, boot loader unlocking , flashing ruu's , flash custom firmware's/recovery's , and fix unbootable phones! I need your help guys what do you think? Would this help the squeamish or those that don't understand android well enough ?

I have a question for you , do you think you could find a way to root the samsung galaxy note edge sm-n915a AT&T variant running android 5.1.1 lollipop or some how bypass the locked bootloader ? About ur question I seariously would give it a shot if I were you

I have a micromax a96 device which is not charging if I put charged battery I reboots like canvas canvas and it goes on but no improvement and if I got to boot loader it shut downs after 2 seconds ....what can I do now and what happend to my device

Got Insurance ? ?

I would say pay the factory to replace the battery hardware and maybe the bootloader? It sounds like you have a bad battery with a messed up bootloader (maybe from TRYing to root it?) [emoji57]

That is fine my friend just a matter of time there are many things I too donno and take my other expert help
And ya i also can't say exactly what cud have caused bootloop may be some bad files £ apps etc
It won't be under clocking as u did stock flash and was stuck so device was trying to boot in new os u installed
May be something u removed after rooting could have caused boot loop

I Hardbricked my i9500 :(

Hello XDA,
So yesterday i installed the pac-man ROM 4.4.2 on my Galaxy S4 (i9500) and all was going well. Then i tried installing Unicon ( a utility which manages your icon packs). I have installed this app on every android phone i have ever had and every time it asks me to go into xposed and enable it like it usually does.
So i go into xposed and i click on install/update. It shows a dialog saying that (some file name i don't remember) is already there and continue if you are feeling adventurous. Being the stupid person I am i continued.
After switching off the device, the screen is absolutely black and does not even go to download mode or recovery mode.
Please help me I'm almost crying as the warranty just ran out and it wont get replaced or anything. I don't even have the money to buy a new phone right now.
Please tell me what to do to fix this i don't care about the data or anything i just want my phone to be fixed please help me..........:crying:

Not an expert but try to buy an USB JIG that force your phone into download mode. At that point, you can flash a recovery or a rom directly via odin. :good:
Well, it has nothing to do with Xposed. You can almost impossible brick it that way.
Did you try a simple thing like taking the battery out?
Yes I tried removing everything I could including battery Sim card SD card. Still not working. some people have said that in hard brick their devices give out red led but my phone doesn't even do that. Its just like a brick. Somebody pls help me ;( my dad doesn't let me use the credit card online and I can't find the USB jig anywhere near me so I can't get it.

Your phone is not bricked. The way you descriped is almost impossible to brick it.
You got a faulty battery or a hardware failure.
Hi,
I and a friend had a similar issue to yours. Our S4 was very slow and we took out the battery, now it doesn't even show Samsung Splash Screen (same issue, different context). Unfortunately, JIG won't do the work there (I tried).
While my friend sent it to warranty I didn't have mine because it was bought in US and I'm from Brazil. It looks like a viable way of solving it is using a tool called JTAG, I'm waiting for a friend to bring to my town his JTAG to see if it works, I'll report here the results, I recommend you searching for it .

Hi,
JIG will only work
if you can get at least in Splash Screen, if it doesn't give any life signal, then I get that you can't get into Splash Screen, therefore, JIG won't do the work.

Hi,
There are people who can do the JTAG work, they charge some money but fix it. Even though it is way cheaper than getting a JTAG interface . Buying a device would be way more expensive, and I think it wouldn't be really worth, like you mentioned .

Guys, I like the talk about JTAG, but I don't think it will do him any good.
His device is not bricked. Xposed only installs in /system/bin (if I am not mistaken). Thus it's impossible to brick it that way. It does nothing to the bootloader, download mode or any other partition.
He has clearly a faulty battery or an other hardware failure. He just had bad luck imo.
Are you sure about that? I'll try changing the battery.... But as I said I can't enter download mode or recovery ,both are symptoms of a hard brick....
And any idea where I can find a person with JTAG in Gurgaon(India)?

Hardbricked Nexus 4

Hey guys ;
I just wanted to ask , how do you recover from a hardbrick that is caused by a wrong rom flash or something similar. I know zips are usually marked with the device model on the updater script but say somebody mislabeled it. JTAG is "not" an option. I myself never did something like this but i'm curious as to how because my old p920 was virtually unbrickable. Without battery on , the phone could function as a development board which enabled us to emulate JTAG from the usb port. If i remember correctly.
How come Nexus 4 doesn't have something like this considering there used to be hordes of developers working on this device ?
So no access to recovery or fastboot?

First of all, how could you download a ROM for another phone AND install it on a Nexus 4?
Secondly, can you boot into Bootloader?
Thirdly, check the first... oh god....

I was just curious. I know it's very unlikely but it is possible and it happens on samsung galaxy devices a lot because of the variations between international and US versions and some carriers. Somebody mislabels something and poof. dead.
Say the same thing happened to a Nexus 4. How would you recover from it , short of using a Riff Box?

If you were to flash the wrong rom and could not get into the bootloader or recovery then the only way I know is jtag.

You need not JTAG it. I recovered my hard bricked Nexus 4 which doesn't enter into download or bootloader or adb... It didn't show anything except led blinking 10 times. But, your phone needs to be seen as Qualcomm QHUSB device and a software. I can't post link to that post here.

It´s 3Day´s old.......(oh nooo)...
Thank you for all..
Hi! I think they can't verify if you have root your phone because the phone won't turn on, they don't have access to Download Mode to see if KNOX is triggered. So, Just send your phone to Samsung and wait... :fingercrossed: I think your motherboard is died.
Also, you may try to press the power button for 15 seconds at least

Normally, it's not good to downgrade your firmware. iPhone is different
I think you should send your phone to Samsung and they'll replace it. Don't Worry

Hard Brick
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-alpha/help/sm-a500fu-maybe-bricked-please-help-t3167400
Has anyone yet an idea how to avoid it (execpt not downgrading or custom recovery) ... seems to have something to do with bootloaders
when you downgrade lollipop from kitkat you must need factory reset in recovery mode.

I only did it from touchwiz, but can anyone explain what happens that it hard bricks = no chareger symbol, no nothing. It seems to destroy both bootloaders, as even a JIG did not help ....

You need to use debrick image to unbrick your phone. Get it from someone who has same device as you.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have seen videos for galaxy s4 and s3 but can't find one for our a5.
Bro, you need to run commands in terminal emulator. Google it, you will find it.

Getting a VZW S7 Edge....can it be rooted?

Hey guys do to the Note 7 issues, im considering the s7 edge. Can the Verizon variant be rooted, id like to put xposed on it, is it limited to a certain firmware? Thanks in advance.
Yes, from all the topics you can see around here, you can root it. Is it recommended? Not entirely since battery life takes a dive from the engineering kernel. So there's my two cents.
Yes well heres is my 2 cents twrp not availability
For the smg935v
And the wifi gets messed up but there a few ad on ya can do but i dont like the fact that ya cant restore odin wont let ya
But here is the deal flashed custom rom bricked

And took it baxk and got a new one
