How to get into flashing/recovery mode

1) Turn off and remove battery
2)Put the battery back in and immediately hold the back button
3) Plug in the USB cable while still holding the back button
4)Your screen will remain black, but its in recovery mode, and the flashing software should detect it
Source: Sony Update Service, I installed it and it told me to do just that to get into the recovery mode
Looks like were one step closer into getting the X10 rooted

I'm afraid this doesn't work

It does - it just doesn't display the things we are used to with HTC phones for instance.
This is SE's standard flashing method(and recovery mode). It's the same for their WinMo phones and for Symbian.
It puts the phone in a special flash mode ready to accept a new ROM/flash.
As OP mentioned the screen will remain black throughout the process.

shud try fastboot when its in flash mode..
Code:
fastboot devices
or
Code:
fastboot boot randomrecovery.img
worth a try aint it!?

Yes. You can backup sms from the Messaging application by pressing the menu-button while in thread mode. And use MyBackup to backup settings, apps and everything you need on the SD-card or online.

Would this still work if the phone isn't being recognized by the computer? (correct drivers etc are installed).
I have an xperia Ray, so I assume it's the same method... I get no response from plugging it into usb or charger, it won't turn on, although sometimes if I hold the power button it gives a brief vibration. I think it might be bricked :-/

Soft bricked Defy MINI - How to unbrick

After reboot no activity, display and LED black, after removing and putting battery back and turning on only short vibration.
Before brick mobile was detected in Windows correctly, also adb was working smoothly.
When connecting with USB cable windows detects unknown device. msinfo32.exe reports:
Code:
Device PNP Device ID
Flash MSM7225 USB\VID_22B8&PID_900E\5&2D1CCBD8&0&1

For unbrick you can use article from reynaldo_amin on droidevelopers.com forum:
1. Remove the phone battery and insert it again.
2. Press and hold down the camera key and vol -. then press the power button.
3. Having done this the phone has entered into a few seconds to "flash mode".
4. Then you can connect your phone to your PC and run the RSD Lite. By flashing the phone with any ROM will boot normally.

It is still locked or you don't the false, false, false? After oem info it said failed and then try flashing twrp makes no sense
Reflash stock fastboot rom with miflash or use a deep flash cable. And then unlock it correctly
If nothing works you have to open your device and use testpoint method.

really nothing works.
miFlash gives me an error in red.
I already tried with the flash cable qualcomm but the phone when it vibrates it displays the MI logo and is off.
I tried recovery twrp.img but still the same error message

Method MiFlash:
Rom FASTBOOT for Redmi 4 prime: markw_global_images_V8.5.4.0.MBEMIED_20170925.0000.00_6.0_global

Fastboot method won't work as your bootloader is locked. Try with deep flash cable or test point method.
Trying to flash twrp also not gonna work.

I tried the deep flash cable:
click on the + and - button of the volume
plug in the phone and click on the button of the deep flash cable until the phone vibrates ... except that ... when it vibrates it displays the MI logo and ends ... but it is visible on the manager peripheral

Don't use "wipe_all_except_storage".
Use wipe_all only.

Hello devs and my noob fraans

Well yes you also can restore this by going into fast boot again and reboot your device normally from there.
I am currently on aex 5.8 .
May be its a noob thing but I felt many of you need this soo..I posted
And one thing if any pro is reading this
Please tell me what is this ffbm mode and if there are any disadvantages of it..as I am using since 2 days now and no differences are there.

Sorry didn't work for me!!!

To go to ffbm you have to go to fastboot mode first then you have to scroll there for ffbm mode I only have seen this in zuk z2 if you are using another phone then I don't know

This is nice and all, but what if your rom get screwed up and you can't reboot to fastboot via software? Is there a button combination to boot into fastboot via hardware?

Nope, ZUK didn't like the idea of button combination so opted for this screen and I would highly refrain from removing it. I really like the screen btw :angel: And love it when something goes wrong and I can just go through it to Nirvana.

I have z2 pro and this method is not working here.

This screen also shows up on my orbic wonder

leeco le 3 elite x722 stuck in boot loop, please help!

Hello to all who read this.
My phone only shows this two modes but does not get into recovery mode at all, it only shows the first step and then it reboots form the start:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I can't get into TWRP, even if I flash a new recovery with fastboot and run the boot command.
That said I can open fastboot mode and qfil mode.
The problem occurred last night I was watching youtube and in the morning the battery on the phone was fully drained and I couldn't boot into the lineageOS 16 that I'm using (had for 1 month).
The LED light in the top right corner is never lightning up, only when is fully drained then it shows the battery is empty and some blinking red light on the LED.
Well I tried :
- to install/run TWRP it couldn't let me run it
- to qfil the stock ROM and it did let me flash it but it was the same when I pressed the power button after the flashing process
- to use the "update" command in fastboot mode to update the stock ROM on to the phone and it said:
error: update package 'update.zip' has no android-info.txt
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Please help me!
All best,
Jasmin

I had the same issue with X727. Your battery is faulty and needs to be replaced. I got mine from this guy and received an original LeEco battery albeit with 2016 manufacturing date but it works well and phone does not reboot anymore.

Okey, thanks for the replay.

Hi, Jasmin slayer!
Did that Work for you to replace the battery? If not, try to flash some bootloader and verify , If twrp Boots again after flashing. Remember you need twrp 3.3.1 for Andro Pie!
