Guys! Here's a problem. Yesterday has set itself a new stable firmware - 5.1.4.0A after the phone rebooted and hung on the OS boots. I decided to reinstall other version - now the phone is turned on, 20 minutes running and goes into an endless reboot (the logo MEIZU).
How can I escape from it? Flashing through recovery does nothing, it is possible as that through fastboot?
The only solution to boot up pressing th power button and "+" button. If it is power up the connect it to your pc. You must see a recovery drive. if not you need to install windows drivers for your phone. Then copy inside this drive THE VERY FIRST FIRMWARE that you phone was running before any upgrade. This was the only solution that worked for me and i try everythink else. Hope best luck.

Ok this might seem strange, and just bare with me if I'm being thick...
I have had a nose around the forums and done a search but I couldn't find a solution to my problem.
I installed CM6 (by bumblebee) on my vega via CWM and instantly got BSOD - I didn't really think this was a problem because I knew the risk that it might happen and I had already done a backup etc.
However, all the parts for my new computer arrived the next day so I forget about my BSOD vega for a week as I started building my new computer and setting it up etc etc
I just got round to sorting my vega out when I realised I had completely wiped my old laptop with all the adb drivers on it etc (because I was going to sell it). Therefore, I cant get into recovery or flash anything to it because I cant use any adb commands :s (I cant reinstall the drivers - windows wont recognise the device as adb, only as a mobile device...).
Any suggestions? Am I being thick? Thank you for taking time to read through my rambling post anyway
You should be able to get into recovery and re-flash a stock rom. Make sure the device is plugged into the power and usb. Open device manager in win 7. Then hold down the back button for 2 secs then while still holding back hold power for 2 secs then release power but keep back button down for 2 more secs under universal serial bus controllers a new device should pop up. Point that at the usb drivers from the advent website. When the drivers have installed the screen on the vega will still be black but you should be able to flash the stock rom and start again.
Hope that helps
I will give that a try thanks for your help
Ok this is strange :S
EDIT: Drivers updated! But:
It only stays in APX mode for a couple of seconds before turning itself off - I know there is enough battery because I have booted it and left it for at least 10 minutes hanging in BSOD...
EDIT2: Ok, things have got worse:
- manged to flash stock image, booted in to 1.08
- flashed clockworkmod
- got into CWM and preceded to restore
- restore froze whilst restoring dalvik cache...
- left for an hour, no change
- decided best thing to do was to turn off device and boot again
- device boots, hangs
- used adb to reboot
- now wont even get to the 'booting...' screen, adb and pc wont detec device anymore
- tried to get to apx mode, works but my pc wont detect it so cant flash stock image again...
Sounds bricked anyone got any ideas? I know it was probably a stupid idea to switch it off whilst it was restoring but it was definitely frozen.

Keep trying to put it into recovery mode. At times it gets picky and you have to time it just right. Took me several attempts before it worked correctly again, so keep at it
Also, be sure to keep the USB plugged in while you are attempting to get it into recovery-mode and your sound turned up so you hear the infamous hardware-connected sound. Once you hear it, immediately plug in the power and start the recovery-flash. Do not wait too long or you'll have to start from scratch again
Keep at it, you're almost there.
Got there in the end thanks for your help!

The only way I could get it to work was the following; however there is one thing to try before you try my way because mine did this also - after the wipe and flash with flashtool etc. The only way I found to get out the bootloop was to do a factory restore after when its looping. So from the boot screen loop hold the power button until it goes off then on then off again.
Then do the process to get into the recovery so hold down and power then release power as soon as the lg logo appears (first one) then press it again immediately that SHOULD get ya to the grey factory reset screen. Press the power button 3 x and it should do a factory restore and boot up this time. First boot may take a minute it should eventually start up.
Failing that try this - Open the lg mobile support tool and connect the phone in download mode (volume up and power with plugged in usb on mine) then go to options and upgrade recovery. it will download a file usually about 2GB then install it, the phone will reboot at 100% on the phone and 80ish% on the lg tool it will then start into the setup feature,
DO NOT disconnect the phone until it gets to 100% and finishes. This way you shouldn't need to do an extra factory reset.
I understand for this the phone needs to be seen on com 4 (it shows on the phone screen) so if necessary go into device manager with the phone still plugged in in download mode and select com ports then select the phone com port then right click >properties> advanced and change the com port to 4. It may tell u its already being used but don't worry it is fine. Save and exit device manager.
please bare in mind these are just my experiences on MY LG D802 however its worked every single time for me without fail and ive done it a good few lol.
HTH:good:
Solved!
Please buy hyelton a beer or a damn new phone. He's a hero.

Hey guys, but of an emergency here...
I'm stuck at the LG logo after flashing the Pacman ROM with the latest unofficial CWM, and it seems to have failed at Formatting system. All four touch buttons on the bottom were blue, as if they had been pressed and highlighted. No response from anything.
Reboot. Then it got stuck on the LG logo. I can't access CWM anymore, holding power + vol down does nothing, I just go back to the logo. I'm running a D802.
This was a pretty standard flash for me, I have done this many times, so I was confident in it, but now have no way back into a phone I desperately need within hours.
Process went as follows;
Full wipe, format, initialize install, it failed/crashed/whatever, rebooted, now stuck on logo, unable to access CWM, and obviously unable to access ROM.
USB Debugging was on, but as the ROM doesn't exist anymore, not sure how much help that'll be.
I'll gladly go back to either CWM or TWRP, as well as stock ROM or whatever. I can sort all that out later, right now just need things back in running order.
Edit1: I can't even turn it off. It simply boots up again, so now also worried of damaging display or battery.
Edit2: It's not showing after entering "adb devices". List is empty.
ANY help appreciated.
I'm running Windows 8, and no, I will not be able to reinstall to W7 or Ubuntu.
Thank you
here my issue.. so I'm using cm12.1 on my Canadian gaxaly note 3, and Im trying to reset my phone, which I thought would be just fine if I went to settings, then hit reset data function. in which it rebooted my phone, and tried to take me into recovery for whatever reason (likely to reset the phone..?) and its almost stuck there. it flashes like it tries to boot recovery and shows the team win logo for 2 seconds then shuts off and then displays the team win logo for 2 seconds and etc. etc, I tried to get it to download mode with no cigar, whatever button combination I do it always ends up booting recovery. cant turn it back on or anything. I plug it into my computer and it seems to not recognize it. I'm with virgin mobile right now and it's an almost 2 year old phone (got it the day after black Friday), so I'm guessing I'm out of luck for the manufacturer and the virgin mobile's help. Anyway I can fix the issue? any help would be appreciated.
Do you have access to a USB jig for force the phone into download mode?
What happens when you try to boot into download mode? Are you holding down the volume down, power and home button long enough?

Flash "CWM/Philz" recovery for your phone model and go-to recovery mode by some step:
1. Pull out batery.
2. Push in again.
3. Press "volume up + home + power" and wait ~5second.
4. You in recovery mode
I recommend flashing 2.8.7.1 TWRP if you can get into download mode in order to flash another ROM. CWM is outdated and no longer being updated.
If you want to flash back to stock, grab the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com.
Hi guys,
I had Pure nexus rom installed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-pure-nexus-project-layers-t3237366
and everything worked fine for weeks. Yesterday I noticed that my nexus 4 is using battery too much, without any reason.. Then my phone turned off, try to restart but it was stuck on google logo. At that point there was 20 or 30% battery left. I boot it to recovery, wipe everything and tried to restore factory settings, cos I didnt have any backup on phone. But again it was stuck on google logo.
So now I cant boot it cos there's no system installed on it, basicaly there is nothing on my phone. I tried Nexus Root Toolkit, but my pc dont recognize my phone, when I boot to recovery it's still the same, so I cant install drivers..
At this point, I have no idea what to do.. Can anyone help pls?
Thx
Can you get into fastboot? Are you using Win7? Tried different USB ports and cables?

Thx for quick reply !
Yes, I'm using win7 64x, I tried all usb ports and 3 different cables and nothing. I can get into fastboot and recovery, but pc still don't recognize anything..
i am currently under the same situation
only difference is i can still fastboot and flash a recovery (twrp for that matter)
afterwards, when booting to recovery - i can install a rom
once the rom is installed, reboot does not boot into the ROM and instead just displays the google logo - then vibrates a little - then the screen turns off
I just tried on 2 other win7 pc's, still nothing.. Nexus root toolkit just can't establish adb/fastboot connection..
edit: other thing I tried is to copy ROM file on usb stick, and then connect usb stick with micro usb cable to phone, and when I'm in recovery (twrp 3.0.2-0) there is just ''internal storage'' option.. Is that normal, should twrp see external USB drive? Cos I'm thinking that maybe something is wrong with usb charging port (I replaced that board month ago).
Hi,
I have a similar problem:
I had my mobile in working condition and once when upgrading the OS to 5.0.1, it downloaded the OS and was upgrading. During that process, the charge got over and hence the phone was shutdown. There after, it was not proceeding further from Google screen when trying to reboot. So, i thought battery is dead and replaced the battery with a new one. Now, i am getting the following problem:
The phone doesn't turn on(not even getting GOOGLE screen now). But, If I keep holding power button and Volume down button and try to insert the charging cable immediately then i get the boot menu but it wont stay there for even a second and goes to GOOGLE logo screen and gets shut down. Please help me with this.
Hi guys,
I menaged to fix the problem, my problem was charging port (smal L shaped board) that I replaced month ago. That's why there was no connection.
I got another one this morning from ebay, and Nexus Root Toolkit established connection immediately.

That looks like a stuck power button.
Try just holding the volume down button and plugging the charger.
If you see the fastboot screen, you have a stuck power button.
Just experienced this issue on a Nexus 5 and I was able to recover from it by "massaging" the power button for a while.
