boot loop after trying to flash twrp 2.2.1

Okay so I seem to have run into a little problem I was planning on updating cleanrom up to 1.2.5 but was on cwm. I had managed to switch over successfully to twrp 2.2.0. I went ahead and used goo manager to download the updated zip of 2.2.1 and tried flashing it thru twrp. Now I am stuck in google bootloop and cant get into recovery or more importantly bootloader. I have been trying last 30mins to hold power and both volume buttons but it either keeps rebooting back to the google screen or not doing anything at all just have to repress to to turn it off but it will turn back on automatically. I tried hooking it up to my usb and labtop but it looks like it wont even recognize it. I just fully charged it so I am good for now just a little worried cant get out of this mess.

I ran into a problem like that with clockwork recovery it kept on rebooting in recovery but I could still go into download mode I was at work away from my computer so I had no choice but to keep trying that three button magic until it finally restored a backup I had on my external card.just keep on trying to pull the battery then try to go into recovery. You might 've gotten a bad download

problem is I cant get into recovery. or the green screen to get to bootloader. It just completely stuck in a bootloop on the google screen mocking me... I am really contemplating opening it up and taking out battery but is that a good idea? Or is there anything else I can do?

so I pulled off the back cover but really dont want o disconnect the battery might mess something up but I cannot get the device to shut off.

disconnecting the battery does nothing it shuts it off and keeps it off but when I connect it to the charger the battery symbol pops up for a second and then goes completely blank. I went ahead and tried again to boot into bootloader pressing power vol up + down and all combinations of power vol -, power vol +
power turbo press vol +/- but no luck still in google screen.

If you're in a bootloop you need to connect your Nexus 7 to a computer. Then you will be able to access recovery via the Power button and volume buttons.

is it going to make a difference that everytime i try to reboot it just the black google screen? I have tried it connected to the wall charger and connected usb to the labtop but nothing.

It's supposed to do that when you're trying to go to recovery from bootloader without the USB cable plugged into a computer, may need to have the drivers installed on said computer. It's an issue with the nexus 7 bootloader and every one of them does it. What your experiencing is perfectly normal if you tried to go to recovery from bootloader with the bolume buttons and then got the google screen bootloop.
If it doesn't work when you plug it in and try, then try unplugging it, manually rebooting with it plugged in first, or vice versa
Update: I can get on Team Viewer and remotely reboot you into recovery through the PC if you want, or at least give it my best shot.

ok so i disconnected battery and have the device off. I should then try connecting it to the pc and try booting up holding down all buttons?

Have you installed the right drivers on the computer you're using, for ADB and the device drivers, when you unlocked and rooted?
Answer to your question is yes try that. But I wouldn't be disconnecting and reconnecting it, I can't recommend that and then learn tomorrow that static zapped something important.

yea I am getting nothing by connecting to pc. I have all the drivers adb and fastboot installed when I rooted and unlocked couple weeks back but it looks like device is not being recognized or read at all by the pc.

connecting to the pc holding the volume + button gets it recognized for a second and tries to install a driver apx but unsuccessfully.

I am not making any progress whatsoever kinda sucks starting the weekend like this. I have gone thru some bad stuff with my atrix but nothing like this were I cant even access my bootloader boot into recovery or even fastboot. Should I try and get it to just stay off and see if overnight it works its own magic? Hate going to sleep witht his on my mind but I think with a clear mind in the morning something good will happen.

I can get it to stay off by holding both vol+ and vol- but trying to turn it off with just the power button just keeps it turning back on/off...

so I slepted on it thru the night let the tablet rest but went back this morning and I still cant get into bootloader or recovery. Is there anything I can do?

Has anyone else had this problem where they cant boot into recovery or bootloader? It's like the power button and vol keys are unresponsive even though they still work to turn on the device.

are you sure that you flashed the right recovery? but you should still be able to get the bootloader. are you pressing power + volume down(volume down, not both volume buttons. i noticed you wrote both volume buttons) to get into the bootloader?

I think I chose the right recovery the first version downloaded thru goo manager but it was the 2.2.0 version. I had the option on the of downloading the 2.2.1 zip or the .img but i downloaded the .img to just to flash with the current version of twrp that was working. There have been times were I have not been able to get into recovery on my atrix or htc but I've always been able to get into the bootloader this is the first time I've been locked out of my device kind of got me scared its not even a month old. So you say to get into bootloader you dont have to hold down both volume buttons? I will try again to power back up using the volume down and power button at same time... Wish me luck

yea, only power button and the volume down button.

quick question before I connect the battery does it make a difference whether or not I have it plugged in charging or connected to the PC while trying to boot into bootloader?

[Q] Device turns on for a second after inserting battery, won't turn on otherwise

My phone abruptly turned off while I am using it under charge.
I promptly attempted to restart it through pressing the power button, but had absolutely no response.
Then I tried replacing the battery and the phone device on normally right away, with the Galaxy S4 logo shown as usual, but turns off after a second of the logo display.
Attempted getting into both the download and the recovery mode, no response.
Anybody know what's the issue here? Phone has been rotted and flashed with SlimBean ROM, it has no issues leading up to the event today. Please help!

Update: I tried accessing download and recovery mode as soon as I inserted battery into the phone.
It would have the loading screen as soon as the buttons are pressed, but the device still turns off after a second as usual.
Is it hard bricked?

Your s4s power button is fine?cuz my s4 doesn't power on with only inserting battery.try to put it on charge for 15 min. And then try to go download or recovery mode.if it does boot to recovery while charging then it will boot up normal.and make sure to use original charger and cable.

Hey, thanks for the reply.
Download or recovery mode doesn't happen when I try pressing the power buttons, however when I insert the battery while pressing the power+volume up button, the phone will go into those modes, but will turn off promptly in a few seconds.

Exacly the same story with factory reset.

1. un plug device from wall or pc
2 make sure phone is all the way off (hold down power and volume down) untill it stops booting
3. hold volume UP while plugging device into pc
4. follow these instructions to return to stock http://www.droidgreen.com/lg-g2-official-stock-android-firmware-rom/
5. allow usb debuging in dev options and install unknown sources in security
6. to root your device go to towelroot.com download apk and install
7. to flash custom recovery use freegee its found in playstore

my phone havent got download mode. I flash KDZ on blue dots downlad mode. After this my phone has bricked. Only black screen. After this i have flash on ubuntu partitions and twrp. Ewerything was ok but after restart my phone dont go to TWRP. Only LG. Now i cant do anything. I havent got download mode and after VOL- and POWER my recovery dont do anything. On monday i will send my phone to service.

IT WORKS!
Well.. problem has been solved almost it self. As I said before I was trying do hold volume UP and plug it to the computer. But phone was showing only the LG logo and that's all. Linux didn't see it either.
When every idea was used I tried to completly discharge it. When it turn off i tried to plug it in and check what happens but AGAIN I saw only LG splash screen and I left it in that way. I came back after maybe 10-15min and I found phone in Download Mode. Linux saw it and without any problem I installed fresh ROM.
Really I can't explain this but it's just happend. So my advice, try any possible solution and method.
Good Luck guys!

Glad to here sound like your device wasn't fully powered off patience is pretty mine say on download mode doing nothing fir 10 minutes once [emoji106]

Thank you, Ick56, for the ray of hope you've given me. My G2 is fully discharged since yesterday and I'm on the same boat as you - no recovery, no download, no fastboot, not detected by the computer. I'm trying your way now. My question is - when you plugged it in fully discharged, did you hold any buttons?
Thanks again and thanks in advance!

Thank you for your answer, but I wasn't asking how to get to download mode. I was asking the OP what he did when his battery was fully discharged.

I just plugged it in to the computer. Yes, it's sounds ridiculous but in some way after few minutes it worked. Maybe try it with volume up too, who knows what will happen ;p
Good Luck!

Thanks again. Here's what happens:
1. While unplugged, I entered the Factory Reset mode and left it as it is (didn't push any buttons) in order for the display to drain the battery;
2. When the battery was drained the phone went off;
3. After waiting for a few seconds I plugged it into the computer;
4. The red led was flashing for a minute or so and then the LG logo came on;
5. I'm now waiting.
Will post again when/if anything happens
EDIT: Almost an hour now and still only LG logo

i have the same.

If your light flashed red that means it is charging you HAVE to hold the up volume WHILE plugging it in in to enter download mode DONT DRAIN BATTERY TO COMPLETELY POWER OF HOLD VOL DOWN AND POWER UNTIL OT STOPS BOOTING THEN PLUG IT IN WHILE HOLDING VOL UP

Huawei p8 lite stuck on logo and wont charge

Hello guys,
I know these topic is there a lot of times wrote, but i found i have one more problem that the others.
I was installing custom rom through TWRP, it looked like all went successful but phone get stucked on huawei logo.
I tried a lot of things from lot of forums. I downloaded update.app, basic recovery, but when i wanted to install it. I recognize
I didnt charge phone through night. Now my phone is discharged and i cannot go into TWRP or fastboot. When i plug it into charger
it charge only to start bootloop ( i suppose). i cannot go to twrp or fastboot cause when i hit volume up and power button, telephone just restarts
and shows he is discharged. When i let it to do what it want, it charge a little, then start bootloop. After bootloop discharge battery, process start again
It looks like phone will charge only a little just for bootloop for a small time.
Anybody knows what to do? I am sad

Just put it for charge don't wory about bootloop after sometime disconnect charger and hold all three (volume and power) button until you see Huawei Logo....Theb release power and keep holding volume buttons....
And remember to put your UPDATE.APP in dload folder on your SD card before all of it

thanks, but dont i have to install stock recovery first? i thought i removed upgrade one when i installed TWRP...
but ill try to have it in charge for hour then ill try holding buttons.
Update:
I let phone in charger for a hour. After hour it is still flashing red, when i try to hold buttons, phone just turn off and then flash red.
<- it didnt charged.. i still think problem is it charge a little, then start booting, --> booting discharge phone --> phone will turn off --> automatically
start charging a little --> then it start booting again --->then it repeats.
I know I am stupid, i should just let it in TWRP before it discharged, but it happened what now?
It looks like my problem is to charge now, do i have to do some manual charge?

I have the exact same problem, sitting here with my bootlooping p8 lite and can't charge it.
I charged it overnight and even then it was flashing red and showing that the battery is low.
Can't boot into recovery (TWRP) or Bootloader, just don't know what to do, is there a method to charge it or boot somehow?

Sometimes you need phone to be connected to pc to reboot into bootloader. I have read from somewhere that if you connect phone to pc and hold only "volume -" it will boot(I haven't tested myself). I once had similiar problem with honor 4x and just trying to reboot it like 3h it somehow got to bootloader. I also had problem not charging.

Conectado​ to PC try power button plus volume up.

if anyone curious. just block volume down with some gum or chain or something and then put it to charger. It will not start bootlooping

Had the same problem just let the phone discharge for a few days (when you press the power button it should not blink red) then hold the volume button in the middle and plug it into the pc it should boot into recovery mode. Download the stock firmware for your model(UPDATE.app) and use the update extractor to get the boot, system, cust & recovery images and install them using fastboot commands. Or you could download the unbrick files from the mega thread for your device (dual or single sim) and replace the boot, cust, system & recovery images with the ones of your stock firmware and the use the install bat

I solved this problem by disconnecting the battery 3 months ago

OnePlus 6T - Stuck in "unlocked boot loader" screen - cannot go to fastboot mode

So I was trying to flash a rom on this phone for the first time, I failed miserably...
Was following instructions from this thread: [ROM][OFFICIAL] Omnirom Q for OnePlus6T [Every Sunday]
After flashing the omnirom.zip I immediately tried to reboot in recovery and ended-up in a boot loop (see attached image).
I tried multiple times to go back to fastboot mode with vol-up-power combination, it did'nt worked. Always boot back to that screen.
I tried all imaginable combinations of buttons and timing but always ened-up on that screen... exept just one time where I finally ended-up in fast boot.
I dont know how I did it!
So then I pushed TWRP, I saw that the ROM's files were in both partitions, wiped the data and rebooted and returned to that same "unlocked boot loader" screen.
I've been stuck here for 3 days now, I want to go back to fastboot mode so I can push TWRP and restore my nandroid backup.
Anybody knows how I can do this?

Try holding power, volume up and down all at the same time without any cable plugged in to shut it down then while holding the volume up button plug the USB cable that's connected to your computer in. It should boot to bootloader screen.

No worries. Glad it works as I was in the same situation before myself.

Well I'm grateful that I was able to get the device shut down without a hot dead battery. I wasn't able to get it into fastboot by the volume up and plug in. I'm thankful it's off. Do you have any other ideas Im not concerned about data at all. I just would like to get my device back up and running..
Please help me out! Thanks
