Phone Doesn't turn on

Hi,
I was using CM13 based Nuclea OS. Tried to Lock the bootloader using the tool provided in this forum. But after that, the phone kep on starting on and off continuously and showing only Zuk Z1 logo after each boot. Then I pressed Vol UP + Vol Down + Power button for some time and the phone switched off. Now I am not able to switch it on. Tried by holding all 3 buttons and power button alone as well. Battery was 90% when I did this. Any clue?
Thanks,
Sarin

Somehow I turned the phone on (tried multiple key combinations and one of them worked). But now the Phone is in a boot loop again, ie. The Logo and 'Powered by Android' message appears after a vibration and then it switches off. This is being coontinued for the past 8 hours.

That is because u have wiped all of ur phones data and phone is bricked now
..Try connecting to pc and install Twrp recovery by going to fastboot

Fastboot was not detecting the phone as it's restarting continuously. Some how I switched off the phone (I Guess I pressed and hold Power button for a very very long time and then released). Then installed ZUI Version using QFIL. Did lot of search to get the Diag Port drivers and after that it detected and installed software.
Now trying to install Original CM 12.1 OS.
Coming to the real problem why I tried to lock boot loader - Now a days all apps started checking whether phone is rooted or not I guess. It's not allowing me to install the SBI Pay App or the new IRCTC App in India. (Though Root is disabled in settings). So is there a way to install CM13/CM14 without rooting the phone.

You can go to developmee option and there is an optiom for enabling root
.. enable it and enjoy apps

I guess you got me wrong. Apps gives error that 'Your phone is rooted, Please un-root to continue'. This shows up irrespective of Root is enabled or disabled in Developer options.

And yes... There is a way for that... Install Xposed. And try RootCloak... It's a root hider app. If it works then great. If not, let me know. There is another workaround.

Followed this tutorial to Flash ZUI Version. But for the Drivers I forgot which link I used. I can upload it to Google Drive and post it here.

Sorry but that's bull****!
No need to buy a new mobo. Just use one of the many downgrade guides and be on your merry way.
A full,. hard brick is pretty hard to get. You'll be ok, OP.

Since you aren't writing HOW you solved it, i will leave here my solution for other ppl
had this problem yesterday & solved it by myself.
u will need fastboot for this
1. Boot phone into fastboot (shut down completely, plug phone in to your pc while you're holding down the "VOL -" Button
2. now download this TWRP Recovery (https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/development/recovery-twrp-huawei-p9-lite-t3491847)
3. put the img file in the same folder as the "fastboot.exe"
4 go to the folder where your files are. hold shift and do a right click into your folder. Choose "Open Command Prompt here"
5. type in "fastboot devices" -- if your device is showing up then you can continue
6. type in "fastboot flash recovery FILENAME.img" (Change filename to the name of the recovery image)
7 If everything worked, shut down your phone.
8. Hold "Vol +" and the power button
The "untrusted device" screen will come. just pass it.
If everything worked and you're in the recovery then you can install every rom zip you want till ur phone works again
If something doesn't work or something is not clear then don't be afraid to ask
.... i hope i wrote everything right xD

You see, he eventually managed to boot into fastboot, so your rash comment about getting a new motherboard was, well... kind of rash.

I bricked my phone when trying to downgrade from 7.0. I have bootloader unlocked and can get into fastboot screen but when I flash the recovery i get "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)".
They say that P9 Lite drivers should be installed (usually installs when Hisuite detects the phone). Unfortunately, I'm using a new PC. Or correct me if I'm wrong.
---------- Post added at 07:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 AM ----------
Ok just figured it out thanks to this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/help/flash-recovery-failed-remote-command-t3555563
it looks like a bug that says bootloader is unlocked even if it isn't. So just perform another bootloader unlock and go back to fastboot screen. You should be able to flash images now.

I have the same problem:
"FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"
Any solution for this problem? I Cant boot into OS (boot loop). Fastboot and recovery are possible.

Will unlocking bootloader of Redmi 3S wipe the internal storage or not?
---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------
Will unlocking bootloader of Redmi 3S wipe the internal storage or not?

I already replied in your thread.

Try after 1 week, you'll be successful

This is normal. If you add an Device to your Mi-Account you must wait for 72 hours before you can unlock it.
This is a safety feature.

i am having same issue plz help ....i sent request to mi community its been only 1 day should i wait for 1 week ?
actually my mobile cant find any network even can make emergency calls its is showing sim card carrier name but cnt find any network dats y i need to flash another rom,.....can u guys help me with this network issue so dat i dnt have to flash another rom .....if anybody plz rpl fast ....?

Install China stable rom and then try to unlock.

I also get that message when running MI Unlock app "current account not bound to the device". My newly bought Mi Max 2 encountered bootloop after using the updater app to upgrade to MIUI 9. I logged into the MI acc to check the devices bound, can only find my old redmi info. How can I add devices into the MI acc.? I cannot use my phone to do this as it is currently in bootloop mode.

You need that phone to add it to the device list. Go to the service center and get it back to stock ROM for free(if you have an existing warranty).

I did that ytd. As my phone is a china export model, svc ctr does not have the ROMs to flash it, and Xiaomi doesn't allow them to service export models, so the guy said.
Juz curious, could Xiaomi update the mi acc using some internal software that do not need the actual device to bind the acc?
They are not so stupid as to lock themselves out without a loophole somewhere to gain entry back to their security procedure.

Yes they can do it.
But you can't do it
So my advice.. Falsh a fast boot international rom
Then try to unlock

I am a noob on android phones so need your guidance. Right now, my mi max 2 is in an endless bootloop. I can only do recovery & fastboot.
Any tutorial write-up on how to flash an international fastboot rom at bootloop mode?
I can use ADB to remote connect from pc to phone via USB cable but errors on device lock whenever I do a fastboot oem unlock or even fastboot oem edl..
Any suggestions on how to unlock bootloader without waiting for official permission?
Thks

Since you can access fastboot, try to flash stable rom with miflash tool. You can find the flashing guide in the miui website under downloads. I don't think you need an unlocked bootloader to flash the stable rom(not developer rom).

ok, thks. Right now, I have returned the MM2 to the shop. They have their own technicians to trouble-shoot. If they give up by early next week, I'll have it back to try. Will read up the flashing guide first..
Cheers

I juz had a quick look at the flashing guide under "fastboot" method since my MM2 is in bootloop and fastboot & recovery are the options left.
By the way, "recovery" option is no go because MM2 is on mi-recovery 3.0 and the 3rd choice in the Main Menu is "connect to Mi assistant"...is this the mi pc suite or something else?
What is shown in the flashing guide is "mi-recovery 2.0.1" under images. It seems the older version 2.0.1 has more/better options than the newer one 3.0...
Fastboot mode is also a dead end -
★ Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Latest China Stable Version Fastboot File Download
★ Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Latest China Developer Version Fastboot File Download
★ Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download
Those with black stars are locked so I need to apply for unlock with the Xiaomi folks...
Would appr your advice.

The last part of the guide -
If the flashing guide could not help you, please download Mi PC Suite here
(After Mi PC Suite is installed, make sure that your phone is in fastboot mode, connect your phone to a computer, and select the correct ROM file to flash)
I tried the mi pc suite umpteen times. My MM2 was on fastboot connected to my pc via usb cable, pc suite said "connect under normal mode before switch"
What it probably meant was - connect the MM2 with miui running before switching to fastboot. I hope my interpretation was wrong because my MM2 is in endless bootloop and cldn't start up to miui level. So mi pc suite won't help?

Since you have given the device for servicing, the best and easiest way to get it back to working is by replacing the motherboard. But let's wait if the technicians find a more cost-reducing way to fix it.

What is the reason why you would like to enter edl mode?
But yes, there are normally two test points you have to shorten to enter edl mode if the command 'adb reboot edl' does not work for you.
Maybe this two sites helps with that:
