is it dead?

hello guys..i'm a newbie in android, and, i have a big problem now. i tried to install another rom instead of the stock one (spanish), and now my device doesn't start at all. i tried many ways, and each time i was able to go to fastboot menu or recovery menu. now, after i've done some steps from this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=491350&highlight=model+incorrect , my device keep restarting by himself. I cannot reach even recovery menu or fastboot menu. It starts the logo screen for 4-5 seconds, and after that is restarting and again the logo, even if i'm trying to press home+power or camera+power. what can i do???
My problem is like in this movie

if i press action button + power, nothing happends on the screen, but the blue led in the right top corners stays powered on. Do you know why?

If you cannot get in to recovery (home + power) or the SPL (power + camera) then you're doomed.

not even with jtag or something, cannot be done?

Unless you physically replace the motherboard (which doesn't look too hard) then no you can't. As of yet there's no Jtag method.

Touch Screen Stopped Working

Hi guys,
My Mrs. Orange SanFran has all of a sudden decided it doesnt want it's screen touched anymore. All the hard buttons are working and can not see any other issues. Seems there are several people who have experienced it but it seems to resolved itselfon a restart but her's isn't, no matter how long I take the battery out or pressing the reset under the battery cover I can't use the screen making it useless.
Any ideas? I stuck a custom Rom of 2.2 on it when first got it but can't remeber which one, maybe modaco Kitchen R12 Rom.
Cheers

Reboot to recovery, Wipe both Dalvik and normal cache, and restart. If that doesn't help, do a factory reset / wipe data, and restart. If that doesn't help re-install the rom.

Thanks for the tip, but I tried to enter recovery by holding down volume key when powering up but a screen breifly loaded that had the small text "android" written upsidedown but then just goes on loop of the screen and the standard screen, can't do anything.
Holding up volume whilst powering on doesn;t do anything and because I can't use the touch screen I can't access any recovery apps through the phone OS.
It's weird cause I've used to recovery mode on phone boot before as first ROM didn't work, so I know the recovery module worked before, no idea why not now. :-s

Could be either bad flash/root or faulty hw. Google "de-bricking a ZTE Blade".

Thanks again. Came across a very thorough article on modaco but unfortunately the phone won't do anything than a normal startup when holding the up volume or up and menu, so can't try any of the suggestions.
The volume buttons do work though as moved the volume in the OS

Just to be sure: you did first press & hold the volume down button, and then press & hold the power button? You have to hold them both down until the recovery menu pops up. I can take even 10 seconds or more.

If everything fails, try TPT flash. It should solve if there is no hardware issue.

Plz Help possible brick

Just wanted to know if anything is possible to fix my phone. I was running Gravitron Rom and wanted to try slimbean. I flashed slimbean in cwm everything seemed fine when i went to reboot all it does is stay black, no images and vibrate every few seconds. I have already try to flash to stock by using odin and recieved a successful light from odin but when it goes to reboot itself it still does the same thing black and vibrates every few seconds. I can get into download mode but can not get into stock recovery mode. I have been reading for hours now and can not find a post similar to my problem could someone point in the right direction? Thanks

Try pulling the battery for a minute, replace it and immediately press the recovery combo (vol up + home + power. Release just the power button when the device vibrates and you see the blue script in the top left corner of the screen.) see if that gets you in.

One plus Two Stuck in fastboot mode and cant move on!!

So i have no clue what i did but my phone first got stuck at the part where it shows the one plus logo in the middle and says "powered by android" at the bottom for seconds and it going black . But i figured out that if i hold the volume up button i can get to fastboot mode but i cant do anything else. Can someone please help me!!

Did you try installing any custom firmware, or android layer theme earlier? You might wanna try to boot into recovery and perform a factory reset. Press volume down, and hit the power button, after the Oneplus logo show, few seconds after, release the power button and keep pressing the volume down. The recovery menu will pop-up and then you can navigate to factory-data reset. Please not that doing this will wipe all your data and storage... so think it over. Let me know if this helps.

Galaxy S7 edge won't turn ON and no charging indications

Hi
My phone was stuck at black screen with blue LED light. I waited for it to drain completely, and then charge it so I can flash new firmware. I enter download mode, flash new firmware and it was a success. It restarts and then stuck again on blue screen with Android robot and some like no signal tv effects on the screen, which I think it crashed. Then I forced restart it using vol down+power and it boots up with blue screen wtih "no command" error. I tried restarting it again and it fully dies on me. It won't turn on again.
Button combinations seem not working, no charging indications.
How can I fix this?
Is it bricked? If so, changing motherboard will fix this?

Try leaving it on charge for a while. The charging light should light up. When you go in recovery, on the "no command" screen, press and hold power button and press the vol. up button. That will take you to the admin / recovery screen.
I didn't know it either and was thinking the recovery is corrupt or not working. It is actually waiting for that command from you (power+vol. up). Once in, you can navigate through the menu using vol. up and down to move and power to select an option.

I manage to get the phone working again and booted up on "No Command" screen again. Holding vol up and power doesn't work. But I manage to do download mode instead, installed new firmware and again, it crashes after Odin successfully pass it.
I attached a photo of the crash.
Btw I think it's charging now but there's no LED light.
-_- Just both this few months ago.
EDIT: also when I restart my phone using vol down, home, and power keys to restart my phone then Vol up+power+home or without home, it skips the factory reset and jumps to "No Command" again. -_-

This is hardware failure.
Go to Samsung service.

Try to flash firmware by restoring partitions with pit file, if not works after this means you have for sure hardware failure

Ok I will try that, but can you link me where can I download this pit file? thanks

Update:
I tried to downgrade it, and now I'm stuck installing updates, can't go past it. -_-
oh god, last time Lg G4 gave me headache and now my s7 edge is suffering from abnormalities too. -_-

I had this same problem, I sent the web store that I imported and I am waiting for answers, because it is still under warranty. With each passing day I see more of this problem happening, I find it very worrisome.

Its a hardware issue mate. Had this recently and changed the Mainboard. You should let it replaced if u are in warranty.

UPDATE:
After flashing different kinds of Nougat firmwares nothing happens. Charging light and key lights are dead at this point. Then I flashed some MM firmware, one of these firmware gives life back to the dead LED lights on the notification and keys but phone still can't get pass the blue screen with "erasing" or "installing updates" message. After multiple times of force rebooting it by pressing vol down+power, it booted itself to recovery mode(thanks god!) and I don't know why. Lol. Wipe cached it and factory reset and still brought me back to "erasing" or "installing updates" blue screen. Then finally, after flashing the UK stock MM, all lights came back to life. It's working fine right now and I don't think I'll update it to Android N just yet.
