Killed it. Was doing great with aokp. After removing some system apps battery life improved. Flashed a custom rick and morty boot animation. All was right in the world.

But then...

Decided I hate the boot logo. Created an image snd flashed it through my terminal emulator using dd command :(

Phone shut off and will not reboot into anything. No battery charge light. Windows nor Linux will find it.

Never so sufficiently bricked a phone before.

Any ideas?

I had one. I bought another mini. Would still like to fix this one though.

I bricked my mini when flashing new bootlogo. You can unbrick it in two ways. 1. Using Test-Point 2. Use an Deep-flash Cable.
What you have done is amazing -
to bring your mini back from the dead -
maybe you could write a short procedure post about how to do this as it would really help out others who have also encountered this situation?

Well no luck with deep flash cable. Other than when plugged in to computer charging led lights up. But cannot enter edl.


Thought maybe I got a bad cable but tested it on my new mini and it boots to edl.

Got it to work...the one I have is hit or miss...but after several attempts it worked.

Used the edl tool to full backup my new mini then flashed to the brick..

Thanks
