So I have noticed that many people do not care or do not read the "make sure your phone is charged before flashing" :!: warning! :!:
This is not just a useless warning. If you try to flash a phone with a low battery you have a good chance of bricking your phone!
Without an operating system you cannot charge a phone! It just will not happen.
BUT WAIT! There is hope!!!!!!!!!!!!
:BLARGH: USE THIS TUT AT YOUR OWN RISK
Things you will need!
BEFORE YOU CONTINUE:MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO USE YOUR FLASHING PROGRAM TO FLASH YOUR DEVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How to do it!
NOW THE BEST PART!
NOTE: If you cannot flash a normal rom you will have to get the SBF to factory reset your phone.
Hopefully this will help others in unbricking that (thought lost phone)!
PLEASE be safe while doing this! You are doing this under your own free will and without any pressure from me.
I WILL NOT TAKE ANY BLAME FOR YOU NOT FOLLOWING THE STEPS CORRECTLY!
Thank the topic if it has helped you or a friend.
This is my first tut here and I would like to make more if it will help people.
BE SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Message me if you have any questions!

Things you will need!
1. A USB cord you are willing to break!( ANY KIND! DOES NOT HAVE TO MATCH YOUR PHONE! )
2. The SBF file for your phone!(or a rom you choose to use, although SBF is the safest!)
3. A flashing program!w/drivers( I use RSD Lite )
4. A second USB cord ( the one that came with your phone is perfect! )
5. Your bricked phone!
6. Common sense!
7. Safety!
8. Tape of some kind ( electrical is best )

How to do it!
1. Strip open the USB cord your willing to break.
( MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE THE PART THAT GOES INTO YOUR COMPUTER ALONE!!!!! STRIP THE END THAT GOES INTO THE DEVICE! )
- There should be four wires! GREEN-RED-BLACK-WHITE
- Strip the coating back so you have about 2 inches of each wire sticking out.
- Cut the WHITE and the GREEN wires off as you will not need them.
- Strip the RED and BLACK wire to where there is an half inch of bare wire exposed.
- The end result should look like this!

2.This step you will see where and how to use the modified USB cord we made in the first step.
- First pull the battery cover( door ) off your device.
- Pull the battery out and look for a "+" and a "-" on th battery itself.
- Notice there will be four metal plates on the battery and four prongs on the phone.
- The two outside plates are the "+" and the "-"!
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
( DO NOT ATTEMPT THESE NEXT STEPS WITH THE BATTERY IN THE PHONE OR THE USB PLUGGING INTO YOUR COMPUTER OR ANY OTHER POWER SOURCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
- Next you will put the bare RED wire through the "+" prong.
- Then the same with the BLACK wire through the "-" Prong!
( NOTE IF FOR SOME REASON YOUR PHONES "+" AND "-" PRONGS ARE NOT THE OUTSIDE PRONGS USE THE CORRECT ONES ACCORDING TO YOUR BATTERY! )
- The last part of this step is to secure the wires tight on the prongs. To do this pull the bare wire of each up from the prong along with the coated wire to make the wires sit firmly on the prongs! ( DO NOT PULL TO HARD YOU MIGHT BEND THE PRONGS! See picture below for help!

Ahh well there are more than one way to brick your phone. The tut I posted is for if your phone dies while flashing ( battery dies ) because if this happens it wont charge and wont flash.
You can brick your phone by...
dropping it duh
water damage
flashing with low battery
flashing with a bad rom
flashing a bad recovery
installing a bad source
and a few others
Some are soft bricks ( able to fix )
some are solid bricks ( mostly hardware related )
Solid bricks basically mean its time for a new phone!
soft bricks means you come back here and post!
I check back here often and am more than willing to help!
