Bummer

I spent about 16 hours trying to find this. Finally. Im sorry to hear about the bad flash. I am glad you got a new one though. I dont want to say much about getting back into download because I bricked mine yesterday. I was trying to use Heimdall and it wouldnt upload completely to the phone but it did mark a flash in the counter. I printed the pit and it showed cache was #17 and recovery was #18 and boot was #7. I had also tried to flash RECOVERY and CACHE, not the numbers, no luck either. I tried a different recovery.img and cache.img.ext4. One time I tried all three and it uploaded the boot. I thought maybe they had to be in an order. It did upload another boot.img and that was the end. Im hardbricked and all I get now is the red light for about 3 minutes when I plug it in. My mistake. My last 3 phones ive done with fastboot or nvflash and dd. I let my guard down.

Anyone know if this right...
