[Q] Really Bricked?

I had an Asylum Custom Rom installed.
I also had TWRP as the recovery installed.
I decided to try the new COLOR ROM public beta that I got from the OPPO forums.
I went into TWRP recovery, did a full wipe and then proceeded to install the new COLOR ROM.
When I rebooted, the phone never turned on again.
Now I cannot get to fastboot, recovery, or turn on the phone at all.
I browsed through many forums and tried
1. Charging phone for 5 hours (no led light when plugged in) -> nothing
2. Holding Power button for 30 secs, (5 times to try a hard reset) -> nothing
3. Holding Down button for 10 secs -> nothing
4. Power and up volume -> nothing
5. Power and down volume -> nothing
6. Plugged into computer USB and tried all button combos -> nothing
Is my phone really bricked now?

I hope for your sake it really isn't the case. It does seem like you have tried all the usual ways of getting around the symptoms you are describing. It sounds like you had a bad download and flashed it anyway. I hope someone has some advice for you to fix your device. I am currently on Asylum and was just considering trying out the new Color ROM so i think i'll hold off until i know for sure you can resurrect your device.
when you are hooked up to USB on PC can you try ADB? does it even see the device at all?

Nothing. no response whatsoever. I've worked with many different phones before starting with the Nexus One and I've always been able to get out of a potentially bad situation because I could at least always get to fastboot or recovery, but in this case, nothing. It really is like working with a brick, hence the term "brick". Now i can really understand the meaning of the term.

such a bummer. it certainly makes me think twice about trying other ROMS now jeez

update
Just an update to this thread... I sent my Find 5 to get repaired to try and figure out what the problem was. It turned out that the battery had failed and they replaced the battery for me. Glad to say that my Find 5 is up and running again.

good to hear !!
I couldnt really believe that flashing a rom using recovery affects fastboot let alone button combos/charging...
btw what were the costs of replacing the battery ? or was it free of charge under warranty...

Bricked Phone! - Dead - NEED HELP!!

Hi guys, I'm gonna tell you what happened with my S4 to see if you can help me.
I got a MetroPCS Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919N) then I went to a tech and unlocked it. After 2 days the screen started blinking in pink color and I decided to flash it with a stock ROM from T-Mobile (SGH-M919-TMB-M919UVUAMDL-1366964131) using ODIN. Everything was great, in a couple of days the screen went kinda black (No brightness at all) I could barely see it. In this state with the phone turned off and tried to plug in to the PC or charge it and started blinking in green color. I decided once again to flash it with the stock ROM mentioned above but the phone won't enter in recovery or download mode after that I tried to flash it with the CyanogenMOD Installer......everything was OK but it stuck in about 75%, left the phone connected for 20min aprox and nothing happened. I unplugged it and tried to turn it on (It vibrates but I get no startup sound, logo, boot, anything!) ODIN doesn't recognized anymore, can't enter in recovery or download.
I tried to reboot download with ADB to flash it with ODIN but usb debugging is not enabled and ADB commands doesn't work.
I don't know what to do with my S4, I hope you guys can help me. I'm not in the US so I can't return it for replacement.
I hope to hear from you soon. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Is the battery working ok? Does the LED go red when charger is plugged in as normal?
What happens when you try to boot to recovery?

If your screen start blinking pink and after that turning black, why do assume it's a software problem? No rom would cause that. It's clearly a hardware failure.

The battery is OK, I tested it already with another phone. The LED doesn't turn on when the charger is plugged in. When I try to enter to recovery it vibrates but nothing else happens (Black Screen).

The screen would cause no sound, no LED light, no download or recovery mode, etc..?

Service center is better idea, since they can't go to download mode to see your phone stil got warranty or not.. just say phone dead ... while In pocket automatically

You don't have to be in the US, it's just going to cost you more in shipping. Maybe you can find someone in your country that can jtag. Try some of the local phone repair shops.

Did you flash the correct rom? When you plug USB to pc, does it detect anything at all? Does it had enough battery when you were flashing it?

My tablet Galaxy tab 2 10.1" doesn't start after fail to root

Hi all
Recently I had tried to root my Galaxy tab 2 GT-P5100, but I turned off in the middle of rooting process. So, after this my tablet doesn't start anymore, without show any logo of inicialization and is not possible to enter in the recovery process.
I think that the incomplet process of rooting broked the firmwares or something like that.
Are there solutions to fix this problem?
I was thinking on re-instalation of firmwares, but I'm not shure if it's possible.
Thanks, Willian

Because before the system corruption the battery was fully charged.

Hi Mithil17
I had tried to do hard reset (disconnect battery for a time to empty the system), but with the same result.
Yeah, my PC recognize the tablet, but I don't know if is possible to mount it in my PC.
Note, I tried it on Windows and I'm a itermmediate Linux user.
One thing that I don't know if it's possible: change the usb port permission of my computer and try the firmwares/ROM reinstallation. So, just something in my head.
Best regards, Willian

Have you tried to drain ** completely ** your battery (a few days can pass) and then charging it to full 100%?
