Dead XPeria X10 Mini after flashing bad rom from flashing tool. Hard bricked? :(

Hello everyone!

Need some help, I'm totally new to android hacking stuff and think messed up my phone, it's sure an old one but I loved it so much I don't want it to die.

So here's the point, yesterday I rooted it, worked fine, after that I unlocked the bootloader, always fine, but the problems began when I tried installing a custom recovery, didn't find a suitable one for the phone so I found RecoverX, and installed the CWM-Based Recovery 5.0.2.7 (ICS), after it done installing the phone was never able to boot anymore, I got stuck on a bootloop so I was searching for the original firmware, I found one and it worked after that, except the touchscreen was not working, so after reading some threads I realised that I installed a firmware who's not made for my phone version. Then I tried flashtool again and installed the built-in version or don't know what it is just for seing if it was able to restore the firmware since it said "X10". After that the phone turned off and wasn't able to boot anymore, the power button doesn't respond, no vibration, no backlight, no LED, and it isn't detected but the computer anymore, I tried flash mode and all other thing but nothing.

Is it dead? Can't I repair it anymore? Based on some reasearch I think it's hard bricked but can't find a solution.

Please help. Can I repair it by myself by doing some testpoint stuff or I don't know, I'm just too new about this, I just began yesterday.

PS: sorry for my bad english.

Thanks for you answers.

Need help with My droid turbo.

Unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, then installed CM 12.1. On Android 5.1

Okay... so the issue I'm having is totally my fault. I think.

I forgot to install Gaps. Once I realized... I went into the recovery and wiped everything but the boot.img and recovery.img... Formatted the system and installed the OS and gapps. Turned out it was the wrong version... It was for 5.0.1

After repeating my steps with what I thought was the right version... Now ince it's booted up... The gapps process stops and so does the AOSP(Android keyboard) and also It gives me an error when I open the play store. Basically I can't download anything. Or do much without the keyboard either. The voice texting however... Works.

Any idea what to do?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Flash a custom recovery(CWM/TWRP) that is compatible, then download a ROM compatible with your model number and Gapps package, then flash them through custom recovery, the threads with your recoveries and ROMs will have instructions.

As for going back to stock, go to Sammobile or Samsung-updates.com and find the firmware for your model number then flash it using Odin on PC.

Sounds like USB connector or the motherboard is damaged.

---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

If it won't charge, won't connect to PC, won't boot to any mode, no vibration when power pressed, no LED or any kind of response then its hard bricked and the only hope of fixing it is to go to repair shop for JTAG.

Can someone please tell me how to install a custom recovery on my Samsung touchwiz?

The only tutorial that I can find tells me that it will not work unless it is a stock android version. I have KitKat 4.4.4

I know that I can flash what I need via Odin but the problem is the locked bootloader. This is why the only tutorial that I can find tells me that I need to have a stock Android version or else what is being offered there will not work.

I don't want to try it any way and brick my phone!

Thank you!

Can i turn my device into a FTP Server, but with mobile network (3G/4G), NOT Wi-Fi? That way, files can be sent from distance to the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It depends on your model number/carrier.

Tell me your model number and I can tell you what is safe to flash and what isn't. Some can be unlocked and some can't.

The ones that can't be unlocked can't downgrade to older stock firmware, they can only flash the same firmware version or newer and they can't flash custom recovery or custom ROMs, they have to use Safestrap Recovery and modified stock ROMs.

If it can be unlocked or downgraded to an unlocked firmware then they can safely flash custom recovery and use custom ROMs.

Tethering is for sharing your devices internet access with other devices in one of three ways.

1) when using your device as a hotspot it functions the same as a WiFi router and can connect multiple devices.

2) android can also share its internet via bluetooth to connect other devices.

3) Android can tether via USB cord to PC to give PC internet access.

For wifi hacking in anroid

Sir how to hack wifi in anroid phone...
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I'm not seeing anything in my searches that say you have a locked bootloader. You should be safe to root and flash custom recovery and custom ROMs, just make sure that whatever you flash is for your specific model number, DO NOT use anything that is for the other SM-J100x models.

If you haven't rooted your device yet, try this.

https://androidmtk.com/root-samsung-galaxy-j1-sm-j100h

After that you can flash custom recovery then use that recovery to flash your custom ROMs.

I'll help you through those steps also if you need help with that or finding recovery and ROMs for your model.

Thank you SO much!

My device is already rooted with KingoRoot.

What would you recommend to install some latest TWRP? Odin? I have never done that myself and would want to make sure that I'm doing it correctly.

I once used Odin to flash some MUNI on my old Galaxy W after someone else was kind enough to install the Clockwork Mod for me.

Is there a tutorial on line to help me with that?

Helping to walk me through it is a generous offer ....thank you.

I am surprised that the bootloader would be unlocked. Does this happen often?

I would be most interested in flashing some lollipop or Marshmallow for my device. I know that there is a lollipop update that I should be able to install for my specific model.

Once again, thank you SO very much.

You have been a tremendous help to me!

Best rom for moto g osprey ? Daily use ?
[General Questions and Answers] ANDjROID:
i am hoping someone knows. i am running 5.0.2 custom. i am wanting to do the 1% battery mod. i have the battery.xml that i need, along with all the bat stats. the only info i have been able to find is that every ones saying "oh just replace this with this. "Well my question is this." my rom has both "hdpi" and "xhdpi" now i have modded and changed a cpl. of the .PNG's and the mod would not go through unless i modded both hdpi, and xhdpi.

now, my battery stats in the "HDPI" are a cpl different sizes.(most are 15x32, but some are 22x38px.) and of coarse the ones in XHDPI are also different sizes. now i have the 1%stats from another rom, they are all 32x32px. can i just use those in both 'HDPI' and 'XHDPI'? or do i need to re-size the ones for hdpi to be of same size as the original at that png or can i just use the modded stats that i have in both hdpi and xhdpi? if i can clarify anything just ask, please. i am dying to do this as the stock bat is soooooo lame.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I recommend TWRP because CWM is virtually not supported anymore.

You need to do a Google search for:

"TWRP for SM-J100H"

If you find the recovery in .tar format then you'll have to flash it using Odin just like you would the stock firmware. You'll need to put the recovery file in the AP slot in Odin and I recommend having the auto reboot option in Odin UNCHECKED, then click start, wait for the flash to finish, you'll get a green PASS, then you can disconnect the device.

Then boot to recovery using the button combination or you can pull the battery and reinsert the battery then boot with the button combination. Do not let the device boot to system before going to recovery, if you miss the recovery you'll have to flash the recovery again, you MUST boot to recovery immediately after flashing to keep the recovery.

If the TWRP recovery file you find is in .IMG format you'll need to flash it using the Flashify app or Rashr then boot immediately to recovery.

Once you're booted to recovery you can make a nandroid backup of your stock ROM then you can either reboot to system then use Titanium backup to backup your downloaded apps/app data/contacts and whatever else you want to save then boot back to recovery and flash a custom ROM and compatible Gapps if you already have them downloaded by using the "install" option in TWRP.

To find ROMs for your device you can do a Google search for:

"Custom ROMs for SM-J100H"

Or

"CM12 for SM-J100H"

Or

"CM13 for SM-J100H"

The CM13 ROMs may it may not be buggy. If they are just use a CM12 because they are probably stable. The compatible Gapps should be mentioned in the thread you find your ROMs in. After flashing the ROM and Gapps you should be prompted to wipe, do them then you can reboot to system.

Once the device boots you set the phone up then reinstall Titanium backup and restore the things you backed up with Titanium backup and then you should be good to go from there.

If you have any issues after that you can boot to TWRP and restore the nandroid backup you made.

If the ROM you flash is stable you can boot to TWRP and make another nandroid backup of the new ROM setup. Then you'll have your stock nandroid and the custom ROM nandroid, keep them both for fixing issues in the future.

Be careful in this process, ask questions as you go through the steps if you need to. I posted a lot of instructions but it's easier than it seems, I just gave you details.

I need CWM or TWRP recovery with locked bootloader without pc
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You can't flash CWM/TWRP with locked bootloader.

If there is a method to boot a temp recovery session while connected to PC you can use CWM/TWRP to sideload apps and make a nandroid backup, when you're done with the temp session and reboot the device you won't have CWM/TWRP, you have to connect to PC and run the temp session again the next time you want to use it. But that's only if someone has created something to run a temp session on your model number.

If you want to flash and keep CWM/TWRP you'll have to unlock your bootloader, and that's only IF your bootloader is unlockable.
[General Questions and Answers] xenreon:
1. The pngs aren't supposed to be creating a problem, but if undersized then they'll look ugly at times

2. You don't have to mod both, just mod the main one of yours... As if a hdpi device then only change in hdpi....

3. I encourage using "3minit battery mod" rather then a normal 1% battery mod, you can check that out and it'll also take care of the icons for you

That's only possible in a single way and not guaranteed to work on every device :

1. Root on locked bootloader with some one click root app

2. Flash your custom recovery with some flashtool like rashr

It is on some devices, I still have a locked bootloader with Philz running
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
MTK? Those devices are strange, I don't get how they can be flashed over locked bootloader.

Although, I have been looking at customizing my niece's Nook tablet, it has locked bootloader but you can boot CWM/TWRP from extsd then flash a CWM/TWRP to internal emmc then flash ROMs, its not what I'm used to. Its basically a boot strap or can be a second bootloader like on my kindle fire HD 7, it boots then loads the second bootloader and that bootloader boots the ROM or recovery(like Safestrap where it interrupts boot and inserts other software and boots that, your original is still there but doesn't get a chance to boot) which isn't the same as an actual flash.
