I was trying unlock Nexus 10 bootloader (not rooted) and I did so by running
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
and then to make sure everything worked I ran
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
Now it is stuck on the boot animation and where ever I reboot into bootloader says "Downloading... Don't Turn off the target" and fastboot doesn't detect the device.
Pls help.

that's "Download Mode", not the bootloader. Download mode doesn't work with fastboot, but with Odin.
you can reach the bootloader again by turning off your device, and then turn it back on using a button combo: POWER+VOL UP+VOL DOWN keys.

Hi,
i have a problem with rooting my nexus 10: After installing te recovery, i was to slow updating the drivers.
No i have a bootloop, my device dont boot the OS, it hangs on the animation.
I can enter the bootlaoder, so i assume that i dint brick the device.
What should i do? flash the factory image?
plz help
After fastboot oem unlock you need to do a factory reset... A userdata.img is included in stock images from Google at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantarayjop40c
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
so i have to flash this image in fastboot?
fastboot flash userdata.img ?
i just dl the factory image from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and run the flash-all bat but still a bootloop
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
ok, i just hit this, letz hope it works, im a bit worried that i brick the device
edit : ok still a bootloop ;(
Do cache.img in the same way... See if that fixes it ( I did all this earlier too when I got a bootloop in the same manner)

ok. ill gonna try it, how long shoul i wait, until im sure that it is a bootloop? 2 min?
yeeaahhh ill got a boot
should i reflash the factory image just to get sure all ist stock again, and all what i do is reverted?
I didn't flash system.img on mine after updating to latest stock (mine arrived with older firmware than stock image)... especially don't do it if you want to keep superuser installed.

Bootloop and "Downloading-do not turn off target!!" in recovery
Hi there,
New here so please be gentle if possible Opened box, updated OTA firmware to latest 4.2, enabled developer mode & USB, used adb reboot fastboot and adb oem unlock to unlock. Confirmed unlock and now stuck in a bootloop. When I use Power+Down to go into recovery, I get the Android picture stating "Downloading... do not turn off target!!!". Fastboot and adb commands won't work, so I can't figure out how to get past this point. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
It's a pain to get into the bootloader. Always takes me a few tries. Try holding down power and both vol keys. I have to do it several times, sometimes just vol - sometimes both. Eventually it will go to the bootloader without the downloading dialog.

Yes you are in Download mode not recovery or fastboot ...
Hold down BOTH volume keys and the power button to get to fastboot mode .. and you can get to recovery from there ...

Big thanks to both of you who replied with hints. I confirm that holding down BOTH volume keys and power brought me into regular fastboot. I went into recovery (then pressed up+power) and did a factory reset. The (unlocked) Nexus then booted properly after that. I have had no issues since. *fingers crossed*
i have the same problem right now. im using the nexus10toolkit and I have reflashed it back to stock and unroot it. Im still stuck at bootloop. any ideas?

Go back to fastboot. Once in fastboot, go into RECOVERY. You'll get android andy on its back with red exclamation point. Hold down POWER then briefly press VOLUME UP. You should then have the menus visible. Now just wipe your device. Reboot and it should work now. If not do the relock, unlock, relock and fastboot recovery and wipe data.

Sry for waking up this thread. I am in the same situation as this user, tried to use the nexus tool kit, reflashed the stock factory image and unrooted it and after everything was done its stuck at the google logo. If i try to acces fastboot i always go into download mode. It says downloading...do not turn off target !!
If i press the power button it restarts the device and again stuck in bootloop at the google logo. I cant unlock or lock because i cant get into fastboot at all.
Help?
LE: i havent manually booted in fastboot mode for so long that i forgot i have to press both the volume buttons for it, was only pressing vol down. Silly me, sorry for the post

I have tried 100 times to boot in fastboot mode. I've done every combination of power, volume up, and volume down imaginable. All my tablet does is vibrate. It will boot to the nexus logo but stays in a boot loop. How can I get to the fastboot? Is it just bricked beyond repair. I was attempting to unlock it with the nexus toolkit and it rebooted my device during the process and started this bootloop. Can anyone help?????
Can adb find your device when in bootloop? If so
adb reboot bootloader
If not you will need to continue trying to get into fastboot mode with the hardware keys. I doubt you are bricked as the bootloader is still there or it wouldn't make it to splash screen

Need help here!
My Nexus 10 was with stock 4.4.4, rooted with TWRP. I decided to flash the factory image files by removing the -w in flash-all.sh. However it ended up with being stuck with the rotating balls. After about 45 minutes, I decided to go to the fastboot mode (pwr+both volumes), then select recovery (I planned to do factory reset and clear cache). After trying to reboot into recovery mode (pwr + one volume button), it now shows an open bootloader with following message below the bootloader (the bootloader seems still unlocked):
Dowloading...
Do not turn off target!!
What does it mean? What is it exactly downloading? And what should I do? Should I lock the bootloader? Also it does not respond now if I push the volume buttons. It's not recognized on my Mac with the with the following command:
fastboot devices
I also notice the following line:
Reboot Mode Flag: NONE
Now I just booted into recovery, but it shows the bootloader with the exclamation mark! After a few minutes, it automatically switched to the never-ending rotating balls. What can I do?
When you get the Downloading...message you're in the Recovery screen. Don't worry about the message. Press vol up and power to get into the recovery menu - there you can wipe cache and system. As you're in recovery, Fastboot devices will not recognise your tablet, only adb commands.
If I was you and this didn't work, I'd just reboot into fastboot and flash the image files manually. You'll lose root, data and twrp but these can easily be gotten back through fastboot.

I have a Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime/Pro and my problem is that I cannot boot into recovery using the Power+Volume Up method. When I do so, my phone gets stuck at the Mi boot logo. However, I can boot into recovery when I hold Power+Volume Down (I enter fastboot mode), then I connect my phone to my PC and I use the commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
I don't know if it's normal that my phone restarts automatically and boots into recovery when I hit enter with the last command.
I want to be able to get into recovery using the Power+Volume Up technique. Also, I heard that if I hold the Volume Up key when I reboot from fastboot will open a window with an option to disable stock recovery replacement. This also doesn't work and gets me to the stuck screen with the Mi boot logo.
Is there anything I can do to open TWRP using the Power+Volume Up method?

Switch off the phone and wait for 10sec. After that hold together Volume Up + Volume Down + Power and wait (i guess 5-15sec) until you see recovery.

Thank you so much! It actually works! I don't know how, because usually it worked with the Power+Volume Up method.. Anyway, thanks!

Hello,
thanks for your response. I don't know if you actually read my post, but my phone reboots after the command
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
and then it directly boots into TWRP. So getting into TWRP isn't that much of a problem here. I wanted to get into recovery without a PC and without using any of these commands.
Also, please try to describe the procedure more precisely next time because typing out just one command that isn't even surrounded in

Thank you.

Hello,
thank you for your answer. One thing I forgot to mention is that I use a custom OS too (MoKee ROM) with Android 6.0.1. Although this has an option for 'Advanced reboot' where you can reboot to recovery, this option always got me to the Mi boot logo and stays stuck there.
Also, I already fixed this problem by holding Power+Volume Up+Volume Down at the same time.
Best regards,
DJsushi

I am on oos10, oem unlocked. Was trying to install twrp and somewhere I saw to run a command 'fastboot flash boot twrp.img'. After running tgat the phone is on a permanent bootloop. I can switch it off using vol up+power key, but inserting the charger awakes it back to same warning screen which just won't go, whatever I do.
Is it a hard brick? Any suggestion?
Install twrp through magisk
Currently, I am trying to unlock bootloader using adb.
I installed adb and fastboot and checked everything until the CMD shows my device correctly.
And right after I type
"adb reboot bootloader"
my tablet just restart and does not go into the bootloader mode.
I also tried it manually, by pressing home+up+power button, but it also perform restart and no bootloader mode.
Does anyone knows why?
I checked all the settings in developer mode and cannot figure out why.

You can't unlock the bootloader with adb only with fastboot which doesn't work on Samsung. To unlock the bootloader on Samsung you have to enable OEM unlocking in developer options. Also Samsung doesn't have bootloader mode but instead they have Download mode which you can use tools like Odin or SmartSwitch to flash files. To get into Download mode use the command adb reboot download or use the button combination power + volumn down + home.
