UGH. Something happened when i was rooting/unlocking then flashing the Tiamet kernel for overclocking. i did it to my xoom yesterday no problems...this time it did not work.
I'm stuck in an endless loop and it can not get the computer to recognixe the device.
If i hold down volume up and power i can get to the RSD protocol support 3 screen and that stays with no loop but no adb commands are working. just says <waiting for device> when i try to do anything
Starting to freak out...not my Xoom. I was trying to do someone a favor. Please any help is appreciated.
Just got it working after an hour. Tried every combination of volume rocker / power button presses repeatedly and finally one time it pulled up the bootloader and i flashed the stockboot.img and everything worked. I was really getting nervous. i'm not messing with anyone else's Xoom anymore, not even when they ask.

Too late, looks like you've cracked it.

When I turn off and power on the phone the update image comes up and wont go away. I tried to reboot in recovery but just goes to the same screen. Any ideas?
What were you doing before this happened? Give us more info. How have you bricked it?
What else have you tried? Home+Power, Back+Power, volume down+power, do any of these work?
Have you pulled the battery since this first started happening?
Try to put in the USB and use fastboot from command prompt to see if you can get connection there.
Sounds like there is hope still now that something actually happens when you try to turn on the phone. What i read is that a first really bricked if nothing happens at all!
Good luck mate!
Same thing happened to me when i was trying to update the radio. It was totally bricked i coulnt fastboot it or even get off the update screen. I called T-mobile told them what was happening they told me to hold power and home and go through the whole process. They wound up sending me a new one they didnt ask or question me about it. Good luck.
Its done.
You flashed an incorrect radio ( I know because I did it also).
Apologies in advance for my newbie-ism with the Hero/HTC android devices... I'm trying to get my father's Hero running for him.
The story is that a small amount of water was spilled on the phone and now it won't boot past the "htc" boot screen. My experience with phones + water is that either they dry out and they're fine or they refuse to ever boot at all ever again so I'm hoping the fact that I can get the boot screen at all is a good sign.
I've tried the home-back-end call clear storage and the volumedown-action-end call fastboot. Everything I've tried just gets me back to the htc boot screen. When I plug into USB a mass storage drive pops up in windows explorer but when I try to click into it it gives me the "please insert a disc" message.
The diagnostic screen at the top states:
"HERO XC
HBOOT-1.41.0000 (HERO20000)
MICROP-0110
TOUCH PANEL-fail
RADIO-1.04.01.01.21"
The touch panel fail message scares me, but is there any hope of getting this thing running again?
Thanks,
Kevin

Is the phone rooted? If so, try booting into recovery. May be a coincidence that water got to the phone and something with the phone's software got broken.
pull battery from phone, reinstall, then hold the volume down button and the power on button at the same time. hold until you see recovery screen pop up, this will work with or without root
The phone is 100% stock.
When I boot into the recovery mode (volume down + power on), I would hit the home button for "Recovery", correct? When I do that the phone restarts and goes back to the "htc" boot screen and hangs there.
Any ideas?
Holding the Volume down and powering on the phone will boot you into hboot. You can boot into recovery from hboot but you can boot directly to recovery as well. Hold the Home button and power on the device. However, to be honest I don't know if you can boot into recovery with a stock (unrooted) phone but it's worth a shot.
Looks like a direct boot into recovery is a no-go...
I downloaded the ROM update utility from the HTC website and was able to get the upgrade to load through FastBoot USB. The phone booted up and actually loaded past the boot screen into the Android setup screens, but the touch screen was completely non-responsive and every second or so an "acore" something or other error kept popping up. I wasn't able to get past the setup since I couldn't access the keyboard so I tried to restart and now I'm stuck at the (now updated) htc boot screen again.
It seems to me that the touch screen is fried and that the phone is probably no good... someone tell me if I'm wrong
Thanks for all of your help!
That's rotten luck. Hopefully you can get it fixed or replaced.
Ok guys, I somehow managed to brick my beloved G2.
Not exactly sure how I managed to do it. I had just flashed the latest Paranoid Android rom and tried to reboot the phone and it locked up.
Here's what I'm getting when I try to boot the phone:
It very briefly flashes the pink/white LG logo then goes to a blank/black screen with the following info in the upper left of the screen:
[640] Fastboot mode started
[690] udc_started()
[850] -- reset --
[860] -- portcharge --
[910] fastboot: processing commands
Then it just sits there. I tried opening a command window and executing "fastboot reboot-bootloader". The phone responds and reboots, but gives the same info as above. Then I tried "fastboot continue". Here's what it spits out:
[76930] fastboot: continue
[76880] partition_get_size 16777216 bytes
[77050] Loading boot image (5564416): start
[77300] Loading boot image (5564416): done
[77350] ERROR: Appended Device Tree Blob not found
At this point I'm totaly out of ideas. And I don't want to mess things up any more than what I've already done.
So am I screwed? Or is this recoverable?
Oh, BTW, it's a Verizon LG G2, and I had TWRP installed. I had successfully been using TWRP and flashing a few other ROMs and I have a couple backups on the phone if I can get into recovery.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Have you tried the button combo to get into recovery and restore a back-up (I believe it's holding vol down and power until LG logo, then releasing and holding them again).
As a last resort, have to tried returning to stock (which will erase everything)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960
Yeah, I tried the buttons but the phone just comes up into the screen that I mentioned before.
I didn't try going back to stock as shown in the link you posted, but I'm in the process of trying another method of unbricking the phone.
Here's the link:

Well that didn't work. I can get the phone into download mode and the LG software recognizes the phone but the phone doesn't do anything. It just sits at the update screen, at 0%.
Any ideas, guys?
My idea is to steer clear of these so called stable ROMs. ..I been check-in md5s like no bodies business on this phone. I only trust Scott and Jake right now.

Did you try the vzw specific method to return to stock?
Not yet but I will give it a try. I'm currently downloading the rom's tot file. It's big and it's taking forever. I'll post back if I have any luck.
Thanks guys.
I have had a similar issue fast boot mode started black screen then stuck on boot loop. Have u resolved or want my steps?

While on black screen hold power and volume down till u get lg screen
Then keep holding it will go black and led light flashes red like 10 times.
Then let go it should be powered off.
If it isnt or is hold same buttons down again. Depending on what it does I held same buttons till LG logo came up again. Either it will quickly flash or flash the logo for like 5 secs. If 5 secs then let go and quickly hold power button. If not hold all three buttons and see.
Its happed to me like 3 or 4 times and thru trial and error i managed to get white hard reset screen then hit power. Or security error screen and i used the same steps. Let me know

It finished downloading while I was asleep so I haven't actually finished this method. Yeah, before I go any further, what did you do to fix your phone? I'd really appreciate it!

Doh! It was right in front of me, in your post, if I'd just read the entire thing!!
Anyhow.....OMG!! Got it the first time. Just like you described it. Just for anyone else that falls into this problem:
Hold power & down volume buttons until it powers off....and stays off, then release buttons. Then hold same buttons again (power & down volume) until the LG logo comes up and stays up. (You'll know it's going to stay up......because if it doesn't....the logo is only visible for a second at most before it goes back to the black fastboot screen.) Then release and hit power button again. It came up to a white factory reset screen, as razrlover described. Hit the power button to accept the factory reset......... At this point my phone booted into TWRP and I was able to restore a previous backup. Boom.....just like it didn't even happen!!
But here's the big question....what happened??????? I know I'm not alone with this problem now. What did we do to get stuck like we did??
Anyone with any ideas? Hopefully we can figure this out so no one else has this problem.
My phone is stuck in a boot loop after it automatically installed an OTA update when on a custom ROM. at first recovery worked, tried installing a custom rom from fresh with the sideload in CWM, then after reboot recovery does not boot, just LG logo and restarts again. Any ideas?
Need it fixed badly no phone for 5 days now.

I just did this today, and also am out of a phone for now, apparently I lost the software, and in the process of trying to get out of the ota i blocked twrp. Anyway, does yours just go on the lg logo and have the pulsing led? Thats what mine does and I think I can get into download mode which may help. But it wont show up when I plug it in . Good luck to you, if I figure something out ill post it here.

No LED but it just loops on the LG logo over and over, no access to download at all, tried all combinations but if i hold in power+vol buttons it eventually just gives flashing red LED until i let go of the power then it starts boot looping again.

The red led is what i get when I try to go into download mode too. Just holding down the down and up takes me to that and it keeps going until i press another button. Thats odd you have no led though.
Is this just unfixable? I really need my phone back.
Its the same thing that happened to me the other day. Theres a way to fix hopefully, try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142&page=3
My posts are at the end and mine is totally unrecoverable at the moment so off to Verizon for me. There are others in my shoes too but I would try that thread first to see if you can recover. If you do go thru ubuntu and only get " /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 "
your pretty much hosed from what I gather. No one has all the files to recover from where I'm at. See my posts on page 13 and 14.
Hopefully someone can figure this out but I cant wait for it to happen. Good luck

No doesn't work, that fix requires the phone to get PAST the LG initial turn on logo, but it only comes on for 10 seconds then reboots again, not enough time for USB to enable on the phone itself so PC can't even detect it.
Just LG for 10 seconds, off, then LG for 10 seconds and does it over and over.
Anyone else with an idea?
I'd rather not send it away because don't want to get in trouble for having recovery and custom ROM on the phone.
Did you figure out the solution?
I'm stuck in bootloop too, can't connect to the phone to use adb anymore after i tried to install trwp. Download mode isn't seen by my computer...
Ok so before I started writing this I had only one problem now I'm worried my problem has gone from bad to worse.
I updated my 6T to 10.3.2 from the latest Beta after the process it prompted for a restart, upon restarting it got stuck in the boot animation. I tried going into Recovery and Download mode unsuccessfully so I went through the forums a bit and saw that someone who had the same problem successfully entered Recovery mode by pressing VOLUME UP+DOWN+POWER buttons simultaneously, I tried to do the same and my phone turned off and now it doesn't turn on! :crying:
Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix this? Any help will be much appreciated. Tia!

These should be clarified:
Volume Up + Power while turning on will boot to fastboot.
Volume Down + Power while turn on will boot to recovery.
Holding Volume Up + Power should force the phone to turn off.
Volume Up + Volume Down should put your phone in Download mode for the MSM Tool.
Turn the phone off, let it sit. Then try turn it back on. Any response?
try to shutdown phone ...hold vol+ and power button for like 15 sec and restart your phone if this didnt work then u can try MSM tool
Thanks guys, got it working using MSM Tool!

You are likely going to lose your data. Know that going in if its not already backed up.
If you have the fastboot menu you can use the fastboot roms.
Or my least favorite option or what I would try last, MSM Tool (Tmobile 6Ts use a different tool).
IMPORTANT if you want to try and recover and data off your phone first, go to fastboot, and try and "boot" the TWRP img (not the installed one, one from your PC using the fastboot command). If that works you might be able to recover data. If that does worm, try dirty flashing the last ROM you were running and see if it boots.
No worries!

Hello, I am sorry to hear of you having this issue, I just went through 3 1/2 days (off and on) of recovering my T-Mobile OnePlus 6t which I found a way to get my unlock code within 2 weeks of having it, so I rooted it and put a custom kernel on it, stuck on 9.0 never let me update as I was not familiar with A/B partitioning, yet! The answers I saw to your questions were spot on, I just had a little to add to it and I'm sure I am not alone. Real quick let me list what has gone wrong on the rare occasion it hit the fan with the 6t...
- When I would accidentally and rarely let my battery die it seemed like it took forever to get it to reboot, I mean it sat on my desk of DOA devices for 2 weeks!
- It often seems like the buttons do not always respond properly and never have when I needed them to. Been through this before, I've bricked and unbricked and flashed and re-flashed and wiped all weekend and I like Android 10 and all but seems everything is different for every build, and everything seems to have to go in the right order with the exact right file or you wind up in a jam, period..
- That said, the previous person that answered your question has likely encountered similar, I've heard of right down to the buttons not physically working, but I have been a Smart Device Master III Technician for over 5 years, i know my buttons were not broken.
- Most likely culprit that I just handled and worked, i did have to use the MSM tool, several times - and re-unlock the BL, several times I would not even get the chance to get to fastboot, just a screen saying Build and Hardware not a match"" in yellow letters and it just bootlooped. No fastboot is no good, but when you said the tool would show some signs of working but then not, I have 2 solutions that I needed on diffrent occcasions.
1 - As mentioned fully try other USB cables, and ports, if you pull the usb-c out of the port and hold <power + vol up + vol down> eventually it will do something, very picky, sometimes gotta move your fingers to different spots on the buttons and also after 15-20sec let go of power and hit and hold it again... after a few seconds before it vibrates stick the cable in connected to your PC and the screen will be black (obv) but the msm tool will pick up on it. I know about the cables because I take good care of my phones and cables and charging ports, however on my final fix today it showed in msm tool it was connected but waiting for device.... Fed up i put the phone down and moved the usb cable a little bit and it picked up on it and did its thing! That part was just the cable, getting into qualcomm mode or w.e. is a bit tricky sometimes.
- Also someone said set it down for a while and come back to it.. THAT WORKS!! Let it fully charge and often just plugging in charger turns it on, bootloop soft brick or however have you, very simiilar to an Apple device and their DFU (don't f up mode cause screen is black..)
I hope that helps you get in touch with your family and friends.. Whatever you do, don't give up bc if you have not got it yet, you will! One other note, there are a few different msm tools available and they look the same some same size, but the one that supposed to work on my phone didn't and one that they say only a fool would attempt to try actually saved me, so if all else fails, use a different msm tool/usb cable and you will get it! I don't think I can post links yet I am on here very rarely, but plan on more! I have received so much help from XDA throughout the years on thousands of phones with just software issues alone, aas well as guides to my own phones. I would be honored to give back as I also have some extensive knowledge on many devices but I am a noob in comparison to many! Stay safe, good luck and please update and let us/ me know how it worked out for you. If i can help further I will, I have every firmware file for the OP6t, recovery, tools, software, this is not new to me but I feel your frustration!
