How to revive your phone

A summary on how to revive V360/L7 from software errors
I just revived my phone from a quite severe condition. My phone was detected "unknown device" & "USB device malfunctioned" by Windows. I have to testpoint the phone to bring it to life again. (It is not free, I spent $10 for the torx screw drivers set.) I think I have bricked my phone for enough times, so I would like to write this summary for reviving the phone from different scenarios. This summary is based on my experience with my V360. I think it should also apply for L7 (08.D0 R4513) as well.

Scenario & solution

Scenario 1: Once power on, the phone is always in bootloader mode showing "Code corrupted", "RDL SIG ERR" or "PH SIG ERR".
Solution: Flash your phone again to a compatible and working Monster pack (MP) using RSD Lite.

Scenario 2: Once power on, the phone is always in bootloader mode showing "MEM_MAP BLANK" or other errors. You can't flash any MP using RSD Lite.
Solution: Flash your phone again to a compatible and working MP using P2K Easy Tool v3.9.

Scenario 3: You can't power on your phone. It stays in the black screen. Your phone is not detected by RSD Lite.
Solution: Take off battery, press & hold * and # keys, then put back battery. If the phone can go into bootloader screen, flash to a compatible and working MP using P2K Easy Tool v3.9.

Scenario 4: The phone boots into a white screen. It is not detected by RSD Lite.
Solution: Take off battery, press & hold * and # keys, then put back battery. If the phone can go into bootloader screen, flash to a compatible and working MP using P2K Easy Tool v3.9.

Scenario 5: You can't power on your phone. It stays in the black screen. Your phone is not detected by RSD Lite. It is detected "unknown device" & "USB device malfunctioned" by Windows. You can't get into bootloader mode by all means.
Solution: Steps:
1) testpoint your phone to get it detected as s blank neptune LTE2, then release the testpoint;
2) use P2K easy tool v3.9 to repair PDS;
3) testpoint your phone again to get it detected as s blank neptune LTE2, then release the testpoint;
4) flash to a compatible and working MP using P2K Easy Tool v3.9.

Scenario 6: You can't power on your phone. It stays in the black screen. Your phone is detected as "S Blank Neptune LTE2" by RSD Lite.
Solution: Repair "S Blank Neptune LTE2".

Let me know your solution if you have encountered other scenario.
