First of all you need to be in the bootloader. That is download mode. To enter the bootloader hold volume down and press power.

Thanks bro. I'm out. :highfive:

DOWNLOAD MODE DO NOT UNPLUG the device until the process is complete.
My Nexus 4 is not rooted.
I too received the message shown above, " DOWNLOAD MODE
DO NOT UNPLUG the device until the process is complete. "
My Nexus 4 was powered off when I plugged it into a portable usb charger. After pondering the message for a few seconds I unplugged the Nexus 4 then powered up the device with no ill after-effect.
Thanks for the info,
Paul

This is the way how to unbrick samsung galaxy s
If you have a black screen like the one shown above and you cant boot into recovery and download mode there are three things you need to do:
1. Take Battery out
2. Connect phone to computer
3.Whilst putting battery in press Vol-Down+Power+Home button
This will boot you SGS into download mode and you can just flash a rom with odin
This won't help you if you hardbricked your phone (what usually is defined as not being able to get into download mode at all).
Add "softbrick" in title.

I think Softbrick is the term people use for the state. I had the same problem on Friday night and got a thread by searching for Phone-!-Computer on Google.
To clarify on the OP:
Step 2 is optional IMHO, I attached the phone after I got into download mode.
Also, to explain step 3: Press the three buttons, and keep them pressed while inserting the battery, and and the phone should get into download mode instantly.
Just what i was looking for, but i need the stock firmware for the fascinate sch-i500

You need to select boot loader on start up.
hold volume up and power keyo n start up and you will enter the bootloader mode.
Rsd Lite will recognize your device then !

Your device has to be in boot loader mode to be recognized by RSD Lite.

Nexus 7 2013 bootloop and black screen in bootloader

Hi. Today I was running Gekbench 3 on my Nexus 7 and it froze up and shut down. When I turned it back on the boot animation froze, and it rebooted. When I try to get into the bootloader it goes to a black screen. I cant get the Nexus Toolkit to recognize it. Does anyone else have an idea. Im rooted, and am using TWRP recovery mode.
By bootloader, do you mean when you power up while holding down the Vol- button? (I'm shamefully borrowing someone else's image.)

Do you get USB notification sounds when you connect and disconnect your N7 to a PC? If you're familiar with using fastboot, does it recognize that there's a device connected?

[Q] Can't do anything with my Nexus 7 (2012). How do I fix it?

Hi,
I may not be looking at the right places here. If so, please provide me a link to a resolution to my query.
At any rate, as indicated on the subject, I can't do anything with my tablet.
It's a Nexus 7 (2012/wifi) / rooted / no custom recovery or anything / bootloader unlocked.
I recently flashed/updated to lollipop but found some battery issues. then I decided to downgrade to kitkat but had freezing issues.
when tried re-installing lollipop, it started boot-looping and then i got the following image:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
it boots up from the Google logo with the unlocked symbol at the bottom and then shows the animated image above and then shuts down.
It does that everytime i turn it on. can't go into bootloader mode or anything (power+volume up/down does not work)
I hope I made myself clear and it's very much appreciated if anyone could help me.
Thanks
Same problem here, only APX mode available If you press power + volume up .
Try nexus root tool kit. Had a friend's nexus 7, that her grandson locked up. Used the toolkit to do a blind "soft unbrick" to get it back to normal and updated

Can't boot VS980 into Download Mode

I'm trying to TOT my VS980 like I have countless times for replacements and for some reason the usual method to get into download mode doesn't want to work. I power the phone off fully, hold the volume up button, then plug in my USB. It says download mode for a moment but then goes to a black screen and my PC opens about 10-15 different windows telling me "I need to format the disk in drive E: before you can use it."

I've tried the usual things, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and haven't had any luck in case its driver/PC related. The phone is currently running DR87s Euphoria 5.1.1 build and I have no issues with ADB working or getting into the devices file system when its booted.
Any suggestions? I've been looking around for quite some time but can't find much on my specific issue.
Right now you have bricked your phone, however all you have to do is download srk tools and unbrick your phone.
