Hi guys,
I had Pure nexus rom installed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-pure-nexus-project-layers-t3237366
and everything worked fine for weeks. Yesterday I noticed that my nexus 4 is using battery too much, without any reason.. Then my phone turned off, try to restart but it was stuck on google logo. At that point there was 20 or 30% battery left. I boot it to recovery, wipe everything and tried to restore factory settings, cos I didnt have any backup on phone. But again it was stuck on google logo.
So now I cant boot it cos there's no system installed on it, basicaly there is nothing on my phone. I tried Nexus Root Toolkit, but my pc dont recognize my phone, when I boot to recovery it's still the same, so I cant install drivers..
At this point, I have no idea what to do.. Can anyone help pls?
Thx
Can you get into fastboot? Are you using Win7? Tried different USB ports and cables?

Thx for quick reply !
Yes, I'm using win7 64x, I tried all usb ports and 3 different cables and nothing. I can get into fastboot and recovery, but pc still don't recognize anything..
i am currently under the same situation
only difference is i can still fastboot and flash a recovery (twrp for that matter)
afterwards, when booting to recovery - i can install a rom
once the rom is installed, reboot does not boot into the ROM and instead just displays the google logo - then vibrates a little - then the screen turns off
I just tried on 2 other win7 pc's, still nothing.. Nexus root toolkit just can't establish adb/fastboot connection..
edit: other thing I tried is to copy ROM file on usb stick, and then connect usb stick with micro usb cable to phone, and when I'm in recovery (twrp 3.0.2-0) there is just ''internal storage'' option.. Is that normal, should twrp see external USB drive? Cos I'm thinking that maybe something is wrong with usb charging port (I replaced that board month ago).
Hi,
I have a similar problem:
I had my mobile in working condition and once when upgrading the OS to 5.0.1, it downloaded the OS and was upgrading. During that process, the charge got over and hence the phone was shutdown. There after, it was not proceeding further from Google screen when trying to reboot. So, i thought battery is dead and replaced the battery with a new one. Now, i am getting the following problem:
The phone doesn't turn on(not even getting GOOGLE screen now). But, If I keep holding power button and Volume down button and try to insert the charging cable immediately then i get the boot menu but it wont stay there for even a second and goes to GOOGLE logo screen and gets shut down. Please help me with this.
Hi guys,
I menaged to fix the problem, my problem was charging port (smal L shaped board) that I replaced month ago. That's why there was no connection.
I got another one this morning from ebay, and Nexus Root Toolkit established connection immediately.

That looks like a stuck power button.
Try just holding the volume down button and plugging the charger.
If you see the fastboot screen, you have a stuck power button.
Just experienced this issue on a Nexus 5 and I was able to recover from it by "massaging" the power button for a while.
So, I downloaded the A2017G B08 from this thread onto my SD card and went into the settings to update. All was fine until the phone got to the update screen and to 25% on the progress bar. Then the screen turned off, along with the phone. If I try to boot it, it's the same story. I see the ZTE screen, get to the update progress bar but it gets stuck on 25% and turns off. Kind of like a manual boot loop.
The phone isn't rooted or anything, I was downgrading to marshmallow to try and fix mic issues I was having earlier but never expected this.
Please help.
Thanks.

Ouch. We can try stuff but I never read anything like this here.
First try to access the recovery directly. I think it's Volume up and power, but if you get into FTM mode just try with volume down. If you can, then download B10 from the download center (it's weird that we have everything there and nobody uses it, it's frickin stickied on the Guides section for God's sake) or Nougat B04 and try to install it from an SD card.
If it doesn't work you have two ways to go: if the bootloader is unlocked, install TWRP via Controllerboy's guide (using axon7tool, it works every time)
OR
put your phone on EDL mode (Connect the USB cable to the PC, then hold both Volume buttons (NOT POWER) and insert the cable on the phone, and use MiFlash to get a working B10 on your phone. (there's a B10 package on 4pda)
If you choose the TWRP way you can install MiFavor 5.0 and be done with it. Or maybe a custom ROM, but if you didn't have any problem staying stock as it seems that you did, then you'll probably not like custom ROMs and their bugs
This is what I thougth as well. But his link only refers to B08 in MM. So he didn't want to install B08 on Nougat. As his bootloader is still locked he cannot install this ROM in no way.

Hey, thanks for the response.
I downloaded MiFlash and got a working B10 but when I went to reboot the phone the screen wouldn't turn on, just the red LED was on. If I tried to go into recovery mode the phone vibrates and the LED flashes but it goes back to the same state. Also if I connect it to the PC and try and enter EDL mode there are sounds from windows that a USB device is being connected but that's it. MiFlash can't recognise the phone.

Did that for ~2 minutes, still nothing. Forgot to mention, when I connect it to the PC I get Handset Diagnostic Interface as a connected device.

hmm well idk i had this problem earlier today, even when i had mine connected to the pc the pc would make a noise as if the phone was turning on, but when i connected to the actual charger is when the 60sec thing actually worked , also i noticed that when i finally got it on the battery was down to 1% maybe some sort of battery issue. maybe let it set on the actual wall charger for awhile and try again.

Do the 4th category brick repair guide. Yes,you have to tear apart the phone, but I did this and didn't break it idk
No USB jigs or weird cables will work, you need to use the test pad to get into EDL.
There is another way though: it seems that if you discharge the phone completely, then hold vol down and power, and try a bunch of times, you might be able to get into FTM mode. You'll have adb from there, so you can do 'adb reboot edl' and use MiFlash to fix the software. But I haven't tried
Unlocked Bootloader using fastboot, messed with random roms, then wiped everything , then installed stock rom again . Seemed normal. set to update while it was charging @ 30% battery juice. Came back after some hours, to find it dead.
I have set to charge for 6+ hours. Pressed various combinations of volume buttons and power for minutes. Pressed power button for minutes. Nothing on the screen.
Only indication of life is when connected to PC via usb - "Uknown USB device (Device Descriptor request failed)"
Any hope?

Sounds like its hard bricked to me, ive had basically the same thing happen in the past with ZTE phones and i never managed to recover them.
If you cant get it into recovery or have it recognized your pretty stuck, i would try a different cord and/or computer and hopefully you can get it recognized.

Hey, the phone 'was' indeed hard bricked. So I googled for "moto x style hard brick" and found a thread right here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/help/solved-hard-brick-moto-x-style-xt1572-t3693860
It has detailed instructions to unbrick. Working perfectly . Phone saved, when I had lost almost all hope.
System dump

If it's hard bricked then get a system dump of the first 200mb of your stock rom, download win32 disk imager, take the system dump and burn it to a SD card through win32 disk imager, put the SD card in your phone and boot it up, once powered on go to fastboot and flash your stock rom again. Hardbrick solved
Hello guys,
A day ago I decided to root my Huawei P10 lite. I unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP. Everything worked fine. However I was unable to root my phone so I tried to lock bootloader. Thats where my problem started.... I locked bootloader via ADB and then it said the phone will reboot and factory reset. Phone was rebooted but now its ,,stucked" on huawei logo screen and nothing happens.... I just let phone to discharge and when I try to turn it on its still get to the logo screen and nothing. Always when I try to turn phone off it keeps turning on to the logo screen and Im unable to go to recovery or safe mode because button combination dont work. I cant even connect it to the PC via the USB cable....
Any ideas how to fix it (if its even possible) would be much apreciated.
Thanks a lot guys.
So, even you if you mounted the /system partition read-write it gets modified and the signature breaks that's why your phone no longer boots.
Try following: shutdown the phone if you can, press volume down and at the same time plug in the USB cable and unlock the bootloader, then flash the latest firmware for the device using the HwOTA method:

Thats the problem, the phone cant be shut downed by the ,,official" way (hold power button) because it instatly power on after two seconds... Only way how to completely shut down is let the phone discharge.... Anyway when I try to shut down the phone and then instatly press volume down I always get to the logo screen then I get black screen (looks like its trying to do something) and then the phone reboots and again get logo screen... It looks like the phone is gone for good lol

EDIT
It worked as you said (holding volume down + USB) and phone booted successfully but then appeared shutting down possibly due to low battery... I will keep trying. So thank you very much, you saved my day lol.
Allright, the phone is gone for good... Whenever I try your trick (volume down + USB) the phone boot up to the OS but then always shut down because of low battery. I tried to charge the battery but it seems like its not charging at all... Got phone on charger for three hours now and still red LED diod shows low battery.... I think this thread can be closed and I will bring the phone to the service center and see if they can fix this or not. Again thanks for the help.
Try to charge it when is in bootloop or that's what you tried?

Yeah, now I have it on charger for 5 hours, got huawei logo on screen and red LED diod flashing... Strange thing is the phone is not heating anymore, even charger is cold... When I un-plug the charger the phone shut down in like 5 minutes... When its on charger its not turnning off so I assuming there must be some power coming through the charger to phone then...
This Huawei P10 Lite is quite strange piece of electronic.... Its just booted itself on its own and actually its working just fine... What would you recommend to do, now? battery is charging right now at 16%

What do you mean by working just fine ? It booted to the OS or what ?

I left it plugged on charger and after few hours it booted to the OS, but when I tried to go to Fastboot and Rescue mode it turned off and now It wont boot again. Got stucked on huawei logo screen again.
So I pulled out my XT907 to test a new cable I have. The port on the phone has been damaged and it won't charge and won't be recognized by my PC. The port stopped working ages ago during a reset to stock using RSDlite. So when the device tries to boot, it goes straight to the fastboot screen and tells me there was a flash failure. This screen also tells you if you have a USB cable connected. Heres where I am confused. According to this screen, when I plug in a cable, the device registers it as being plugged in (or not plugged in), but the PC won't say anything. Since then I thought I also lost TWRP as a result of the flash failure. Today I found out I was very wrong. I got the device to boot to TWRP without issue, the red Motorola logo even appears at boot which hasn't happened since RSDlite failure. From there I went to the file manager and discovered the whole system is still there. So I am confused as to what is really happening here: 1) Either the USB port on the phone works or it doesn't, depending on what you believe (the phone or the PC) 2) If RSDlite did fail, as fastboot says, how would I even be able to boot to TWRP? 3) Given number 2, if the flash really did fail would it cause the device not to be recognized? 4) Also given number 2, the logo shouldn't even appear period. EDIT: 5) With the device powered off and I plug it into an outlet or my PC, it will power on into fastboot and also says USB connected.
So I decided to dig out the phone and play around with it. I can still get into TWRP so I managed to flash system and boot. Here's the weird part. I thought the phone wouldn't charge. I was wrong. It charges on almost every cable, but my PC will not recognize it in AP fastboot or TWRP. I had forgotten about the 3 button trick, volume up + volume down + power brought me to the recovery menu. I just let it sit there for the few seconds it stays and suddenly the red logo appeared...and the phone booted...normally. So it does charge, but adb or fastboot is a no go. Looks like if I keep this phone, I'll be flashing what I can or am able to with TWRP, on an external SD card if I can't download it to internal.
So it appears only the AP fastboot partition is damaged...every time It boots to it (if I didn't intentionally do it) it says "fastboot flash failure". So since I can't use RSD lite, what are my options?
So the only thing that was damaged was AP fastboot and anything beyond that, including 'charging mode' (thanks for that trick @sd_shadow though it didn't work). For a couple years I thought the clip inside the charging port on the phone was too badly damaged to take a charge or be recognized by my PC. So with intentions of fixing it myself, I put it in a drawer until such time. I knew there was some hope in salvaging it despite the 'flash failure' because every cable I tried, would only charge the phone so no PC means no RSD Lite. I was convinced TWRP would save me and I would find a way to flash everything I needed, but was only able to get as far as the boot.img and system.img. So last night I started to play around with the phone after having plugged it in and noticed the green light in the upper left corner turned on. I spent a few hours flashing and reading and flashing some more before I found another post by @sd_shadow referencing to three buttons, press and hold in this order: volume down, volume up and power. That got me to the stock Motorola recovery screen, which only hangs around for abut 10 seconds, so you have to be quick at selecting an option. I did not select an option, and much to my surprise the phone booted all the way and properly. And that was the only issue. I still had TWRP too. However anytime I needed to reboot, it would go straight to the AP fastboot screen. The 3 buttons bypassed that.
I looked inside the charging port on the phone as I had many times before, and noticed what looked like a piece of foil stuck inside of it. I tried to dig it out but I just managed to push it between the crack in the clip. I plugged it back into my PC and I was even more surprised when it made the familiar connect sound. So I assume that piece of foil was actually a pin, and I managed to seat it just right that the phone charges, is recognized by my PC and i was able to SUCCESSFULLY recover using RSD Lite. We're back in business
