Soo.. Droid Turbo 2 from Verizon.
Not rooted. No custom recovery. Not even a single attempt at anything like that. It's my girlfriend's phone.
Was working great over the weekend until Saturday night. We were playing some charades game on the phone and it froze. Powered it off with Vol Down + Power. Ever since then, it will not boot. I was able to put it into fastboot a few times to try restarting. Got it into recovery mode and tried a normal restart. Then went to recovery and attempted to wipe cache partition. Since doing wipe cache partition, it will not do anything. Will not even boot into Fastboot mode. Screen is blank. No charging indicator when plugged into a charger. Nothing. Attempts at using Verizon Software Repair Assistant has failed. Droid Explorer cannot find the device. However, I do get a random Unknown device when plugging it into my computer, however, nothing has been able to communicate with it and it doesn't register in SRA or Droid Explorer when plugged in. Attempts to manually force drivers onto the device via Device Manager have not been successful as there are no standalone drivers I was able to find to install to the device.
I'm out of ideas here. Normally I would just warranty the device through Verizon, since I know how to get them to do that. However, there is a slight issue with the volume up key. it doesn't click like normal even though it still responds to input normally. I don't want a damaged device fee. Any other suggestions?
Looks like broken motherboard.

Here's the story:
I rooted my phone, but unrooted using SU after uninstalling system apps and doing some other things. I used Safestrap to form a recovery, but uninstalled it since. Just recently, I rebooted my phone and saw the Safestrap screen at startup, which has happened since I uninstalled it. Not thinking, I tried to boot into its recovery mode, and my phone went black. I cannot turn on the device using any method, and it shows no signs of life. It will not charge and does not register as a USB device on my computer. Does anybody have a solution to this?

try a soft reset (power + volume down for 5-10 seconds)....
to get to recovery, try power + volume up + volume down
then use matt's utility to recover
Do you Remember how low your battery was when all this happened?
If you can get into ap fastboot mode and your battery is charged up enough use matts utility

Before I start, I just want to say that I've looked at dozens of threads with similar issues and nothing has helped.
My Nexus 7 will only power on to the Google logo screen.
Things I have tried:
1) Getting to the bootloader/recovery -- tried using the official method (power and volume down) as well as every single combination of power, volume up, volume down and both volume buttons pressed at the same time. All over 10 seconds and as long as a few minutes. Nothing will get it go to the recovery or bootloader.
2) Connecting to PC. Yes, I've tried with several cords, numerous USB ports and even several computers. Not one will even recognize it. I've used Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit to install drivers. Downloaded images to flash. It will not recognize it either via Fastboot or ADB drivers. Nada.
3) Opening it up and checking connections, including the battery and other visible connections that could be unhooked and plugged back in.
4) I've let the battery drain completely and sit for a few days. Then recharged and same thing occurs. Will only go to Google logo no matter what combinations of buttons I've tried.
I've had it two years, so obviously it's past it's warranty period.
I've pretty much come to the conclusion that it's hosed and don't think anything will fix it. But I thought I'd try posting here, realizing all of the other posts I've read have at least been able to get it to the bootloader.
Any other suggestions????
If you can't get to bootloader...and windows won't see it...There's not much advice to give. Every fix involves fastboot pretty much....so you need bootloader menu and your PC seeing it.
You may be pickeled.
either your bootloader has been removed or volume down button is not working..
as i am a newbie. i dont have much knowledge so cant help further
Connect to your pc via usb cable, look under device manager on your pc. If lists yor Nexus an apx device, you are probably hosed. That means your Nexus has been completely wiped, bootloader, os, recovery, everything. Your only option would be an nvflash, but you would have had to already backup your nv blobs to be able to fix it. These blobs are device specific and need to be pulled from a working device. Google nvflash for more info.
So I pulled out my XT907 to test a new cable I have. The port on the phone has been damaged and it won't charge and won't be recognized by my PC. The port stopped working ages ago during a reset to stock using RSDlite. So when the device tries to boot, it goes straight to the fastboot screen and tells me there was a flash failure. This screen also tells you if you have a USB cable connected. Heres where I am confused. According to this screen, when I plug in a cable, the device registers it as being plugged in (or not plugged in), but the PC won't say anything. Since then I thought I also lost TWRP as a result of the flash failure. Today I found out I was very wrong. I got the device to boot to TWRP without issue, the red Motorola logo even appears at boot which hasn't happened since RSDlite failure. From there I went to the file manager and discovered the whole system is still there. So I am confused as to what is really happening here: 1) Either the USB port on the phone works or it doesn't, depending on what you believe (the phone or the PC) 2) If RSDlite did fail, as fastboot says, how would I even be able to boot to TWRP? 3) Given number 2, if the flash really did fail would it cause the device not to be recognized? 4) Also given number 2, the logo shouldn't even appear period. EDIT: 5) With the device powered off and I plug it into an outlet or my PC, it will power on into fastboot and also says USB connected.
So I decided to dig out the phone and play around with it. I can still get into TWRP so I managed to flash system and boot. Here's the weird part. I thought the phone wouldn't charge. I was wrong. It charges on almost every cable, but my PC will not recognize it in AP fastboot or TWRP. I had forgotten about the 3 button trick, volume up + volume down + power brought me to the recovery menu. I just let it sit there for the few seconds it stays and suddenly the red logo appeared...and the phone booted...normally. So it does charge, but adb or fastboot is a no go. Looks like if I keep this phone, I'll be flashing what I can or am able to with TWRP, on an external SD card if I can't download it to internal.
So it appears only the AP fastboot partition is damaged...every time It boots to it (if I didn't intentionally do it) it says "fastboot flash failure". So since I can't use RSD lite, what are my options?
So the only thing that was damaged was AP fastboot and anything beyond that, including 'charging mode' (thanks for that trick @sd_shadow though it didn't work). For a couple years I thought the clip inside the charging port on the phone was too badly damaged to take a charge or be recognized by my PC. So with intentions of fixing it myself, I put it in a drawer until such time. I knew there was some hope in salvaging it despite the 'flash failure' because every cable I tried, would only charge the phone so no PC means no RSD Lite. I was convinced TWRP would save me and I would find a way to flash everything I needed, but was only able to get as far as the boot.img and system.img. So last night I started to play around with the phone after having plugged it in and noticed the green light in the upper left corner turned on. I spent a few hours flashing and reading and flashing some more before I found another post by @sd_shadow referencing to three buttons, press and hold in this order: volume down, volume up and power. That got me to the stock Motorola recovery screen, which only hangs around for abut 10 seconds, so you have to be quick at selecting an option. I did not select an option, and much to my surprise the phone booted all the way and properly. And that was the only issue. I still had TWRP too. However anytime I needed to reboot, it would go straight to the AP fastboot screen. The 3 buttons bypassed that.
I looked inside the charging port on the phone as I had many times before, and noticed what looked like a piece of foil stuck inside of it. I tried to dig it out but I just managed to push it between the crack in the clip. I plugged it back into my PC and I was even more surprised when it made the familiar connect sound. So I assume that piece of foil was actually a pin, and I managed to seat it just right that the phone charges, is recognized by my PC and i was able to SUCCESSFULLY recover using RSD Lite. We're back in business
My phone was working fine, and I decided to change ROMs, as I wanted to be able to use Split Screen, and the current custom ROM had a few issues. Anyway, I try flashing this new ROM, ExtendedUI: wiped the data, cache, and system and flash everything correctly, or at least I followed the instructions word for word. However, as I flashed magisk, there was an error, and I assumed that I would have to boot the phone first, as I have done in the past and it has always fixed the issue, come to find that when i reboot, it reboots into fastboot, and nothing else is on the system. Great. So i go back to MiFlash and flash davinci 11.0.2 and then go to reboot the phone and then nothing. Black. Phone doesn't vibrate when pressing both Vol up and power and/or Vol down and power. Left the phone to charge to see if it was just over drained battery wise and still nothing. Opened up the back and reconnected the battery to see if there had been some kind of hardware disconnect and, you guessed it, nothing. Any ideas on what I should do?
Well since you already bothered to open the phone I guess your can try the EDL/testpoint flash method.
I'd also double check or change the USB cable. For MiFlash to hard brick your device there must have been some transfer issues (or the source files were corrupted).

After posting this message, I went to sleep, and woke up to the phone LED flashing. But nothing else had changed, even after trying all the key combos and connecting to the pc and whatnot. So I decided to try the EDL flash method, with multiple cables that have worked previously for data transfers, as well as different usb ports, and still nothing. I made sure to disconnect the battery. I'm not sure what else I can do.
After trying tons of different methods to bypass FRP on this TB-X606F without any success, I was FINALLY able to bypass it. I was not expecting this to work, so I wasn't documenting or taking screen shots. I typical solutions with sp_tool I was unable to get to work.
Was tested on
TB-X606X_RF01_220613
TB-X606X_USR_S300673_2206131545_V9.56_BMP_ROW
I only set the location of the 3 files as shown in the screen shot. Nothing else. Pressed "download"
Connected to computer while off, did not do anything initialy. Believe I pressed power + vol up or power + vol down and sp_tool immediately started the download, took maybe 30 seconds, green check mark when done.

hope this helps someone.
Edit: I did have the vcom drivers installed from here: https://www.getdroidtips.com/install-mediatek-mt65xx-usb-vcom-drivers/
Initially I was having a hell of a time trying to get it to boot into the correct mode. I was briefly able to see it connect with the vcom driver and com port, when sp_tool would attempt kinda sometimes to start, but would always fail.
Also make sure battery is 100%
Edit 2: During my initial resetting (tried the obvious first, wipe data/factory reset in recovery. Then used lenovos recovery tool which I had read would erase FRP. It did not, and also updated me to the newest version). I bought this tablet "new open box" on eBay, on the cheaper end, seller failed to mention was FRP locked. I figured ehhhh, easier just to flash it than start a case, send it back, etc etc... When I messing with SP flash tool, I was being slightly dumb and had a battery with maybe 30% charge, which didn't matter, since I knocked the tablet while it was attempting to start to do things and it became unplugged. Not sure if SP flash tool was doing anything, task manager showed it seemed like it was, but the program was mostly frozen and not giving me any info. Kept charging it up on the wall charger, but all I could get was a solid red light, no attempt to boot, and windows claimed unrecognized device. In hindsight, I'm wondering if I did not have the vcom drivers installed at the time, or correctly installed them (could have had a conflict, dunno) I was actually just going to RMA it since it looked nice and bricked. Left it on a charger for a week, was busy and just kinda forgot about it. I went to grab it the day I posted this and saw oh... 100% charged battery icon...... that's new... Turned it on, and I was back at the initial setup still FRP locked.
I also do not think that with the tablet off and plugging it in with with Vol Up an Down buttons pressed is correct. I haven't had that do anything for me. Cable aside, Power + Vol Down will get you into fastboot, Power + Vol Up *sometimes* would get me into recovery? It seemed pretty hit or miss. Tried a download mode jig, no dice, tried (forget what the name of it is...) a FRP/Boot/Programming cable thing, no dice on that either.
Again, I hoping this helps someone. I tried everything to get FRP bypassed, even shady shady "tools" and blatantly out of focus click bait virus linked YouTube videos.
