Hi all, I have been using CM for a long time, but I accidentally deleted the system and data and all the partitions, now I am trying to recover and I am not able to recover. What strikes me is that I try to enter the TWRP mode, I can not, or even Download Mode, nor can I run the adb command (because the phone is off). What happens is that also my power button has problems, when I put the battery, the cell phone turns on automatically, the question that I ask is will it interfere in not booting in recovery and download? Incidentally, when I put the battery at the same time I click on the Home and Volume-, it opens the warning screen on custom Os, but when I press the volume+ button nothing happens besides restarting and flashing in the bootlogo.
Desperately I need your help.
There's not much you can do without download mode. And if the power button is the problem, then I suggest fixing it somehow.

Hi,
I thought I could enter the Hidden Menu and change the Fast Dormancy setting into disabled, so I did it and wanted to reboot my phone. The phone turned off, and was doing its boot up procedure, while it started behaving abnormally. The LG logo popped up for about 5 seconds (so it didn't leave the bootloader), turned off for 10 seconds and then again the whole process repeated. I thought that was a bootloop, so I turned it off, entered Factory Reset menu, chose appropriate options and waited for the reset, but the phone didn't perform the action. Then I tried to get into download mode, but to no avail - the phone kept going with bootloop. I'm still struggling to do this; the only menu I could get into was the Factory Reset one.
Could anyone help me get my phone back into function?
D802, 20G stock
Thanks in advance!
That's weird. I always disable fast dormancy after a reset or a new rom flash and I've never had any issues.
What comes instead of download mode? If nothing, Are you sure you're doing it correctly?
Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds.
Plug the phone into the cable, then press and hold volume up and plug the cable into the computer. That should trigger download mode.
Thank you for your help.
I know that's weird, I've entered Download mode numerous times using the combination that you provided and can't do it this time. The strangest thing actually is that the factory reset menu does show up (though it does nothing), while Download mode does not - it seems to be actually unaffected by using the combination and is still stuck in a bootloop. I have no idea what steps should I take in order to recover my phone.
I forgot to mention that the phone wasn't even rooted then, which makes it even more mysterious...
Ouch! Well what comes up when you enter download mode? Fastboot? Black screen?
If you're still covered by warranty take it for a replacement. I doubt fast dormancy alone has messed up your device. If it truly has, then try booting the phone without a sim card.
Normally when I insert the USB cable with vol up button pressed, the LG logo shows up, then the notification of Download mode and finally the Software Update screen. But this time, only the LG logo shows for about 5 seconds, as if I normally booted it using Power button and does not get me into neither Download nor Fastboot mode.
Well, I took a look at other options in this hidden menu, but still, could it brick that hard even then?
I doubt whether I'm still eligible for a replacement, as the device had been rooted already (though it's not at the moment). The whole process also takes quite a lot of time, which is why I wanted to avoid it. Is there any method to bring it back to life?
I wanted to revive my phone using the method linked with flashing the whole partitions onto my phone, but Ubuntu didn't even notice that any drive was connected...
Am I doing something wrong? I mean e.g. is the combo Vol Up + cable still the same in D80220G? Is there any other way of accessing the phone through my computer? Can I somehow stop this bootloop from continuously happening? Doesn't the fact that I can get into Factory Reset menu help in any way?
Thanks for your help in adavnce!
I dont know what happened but I rebooted my phone today and it booted into fastboot.. I cannot in any way get it to boot normally. The buttons are not being held down and I have tried to pull the battery.. I dont get it, anyone else have this issue and fixed it have an idea??
Was it stock (including recovery) or modified?
I would try to fastboot the TWRP over and then boot into that (Power & Vol+). But then... I seldom run stock.

No, it wasn't stock and I dont know what happened.. I was running the latest CM13 and rebooted this morning and it freezes up with the ASUS logo and saying "Fastboot Mode!!!" at the top... I've tried flashing twrp via fastboot but not getting anything.. I need a copy of the stock firmware with the boot system and recovery image in it but I'm having a hard time finding it.

I too had this issue. Tried lot of key combinations. Didn't work. My solution was to connect to PC and run
fastboot continue
Then it booted normally. Everything stock.
Hope this helps.

Phones boots into fastboot mode in two situations
1. Pressing vol up and power button simultaneously for rebooting
2. Your phone doesn't have recovery AND any OS installed
I guess your vol up button is constantly in pressed state.
Second situation cannot occur unless you wipe your system and recovery manually. So you are in the first situation
Your phone's vol up button is constantly in pressed state or electrically shorted may be due to water entering the case
Solution: You will have to open your phone's case and clean the area near the volume button. I guess you had opened the case/body and didn't fit it properly.

Hello the second situation is happening to me. What can i do? In desperate
Help Me
Hello,
I have a similar problem. My phone is turned off and on the fastboot mode screen. Normal keys with volume keys, recovery mode, open, restart, even if I try to reboot on this screen opens. I tried to connect and format the computer, but I do not install all the drivers and files, but computers do not see my phone. Can you find me a solution?

Reinstall twrp from fastboot & install rom
Hello guys, been a while, but I got myself into trouble. For a while I had rooted the phone but one time I rebooted and it supposedly no longer had root. Today I got a notification that magisk updated, so I decided to try it. I booted into recovery and tried to flash. Nothing happened. I tried wiping davlik cache and tried again. What ended up happening instead was that the phone was unresponsive. I attempted to reboot, but instead I got stuck in a bootloop.
I realize the most effective way to get out of it is to flash the firmware via Odin, but since I didn't make a backup I want to avoid that if possible. The problem is that other than the soft reboot (power + volume down) I cannot power off the phone to access recovery mode! I've searched and searched, but have only found ways to soft reset, which doesn't help me access recovery mode.
Is there a way to power off the phone while stuck in a bootloop? Or, alternatively, is there a way to boot into recovery while in a bootloop?
It's so frustrating to not be able to something as simple as a battery pull since the phone is sealed. Is there a way to replicate that to be able to power it off?
Any help would be appreciated.
Hold the power button for 10 seconds.

Hold Vol down and power for soft reboot. As soon as the screen goes off to reboot quickly switch to recovery combo (bixby + up + power) it should boot to recovery

What if Vol down and power don't work, adb, fastboot and device manager don't see it, any other combinations tried too, wait for full discharge don't option. Help plz
Did you manage to get out of this?
Im really scared i bricked my phone now. Everything was working fine but after i did a normal reboot it suddenly would not start up.
Screen is black and the only way i can get a response from the phone is the soft restart (vol down + power).
I need to get into recovery somehow so i can restore my nandroid backup but vol up + bixby + power doesnt work (i assume the phone is on and frozen or something?)
I managed to fix my phone. After leaving it for 24 hours the battery was fully drained. After charging again i could boot to twrp and restore my nandroid backup.
Good evening everyone, i'm having a serious issue with my samsung A5. It was rooted, with custom recovery and custorm rom (Android 6.1 i think).
2 Days ago, a chewingum got stuck on my screen. I tried to remove it with nail paint remover, it did the trick but then my home button stopped working: the button itself can be pressed normally, but it won't work. I also experienced randomly long home button press actions, so i decided to turn them off. I thought that few drops of liquid may actually have gone beneath the home button. Few hours later, i experienced more issues: volume going up without anyone pressing the button (and the buttons are not stuck at all, and that side never got close to liquids), power button not doing his job etc. I tried to do a soft reset by recovery (cleaning cache and dalvik) but i ended up aslo factory resetting it for a distraction. Reconfigured the device, everything was back to normal (except the home button) but then i also experienced a couple of random volume up and crashes upon making phonecalls. SO i decided to reflash the entire rom, downloaded it + gapps, put into the decide, rebooted in recovery. Wipe cache, dalvik and also system i think, then i tried to intall the zip files but they were not there (probably i should have avoided wiping system, i get confused sometimes). I turned the device off and on, and now i'm stuck on bootloop (regular mode), can reboot it but it seems i can't go in either recovery or donwload mode (so no odin flash). Device is not recognized by the Pc. I keep rebooting it with power + home + volume down and as soon as i see the screen turn black, i try to press again volume up + home to enter recovery, but it goes straight to bootloop.
Any idea on how getting out of this situation? Thank you in advance

Sadly, no software can fix broken hardware, it's probably best, as you'll now know, not to pour chemical liquids onto electrical devices, and just what kind of chewing gum exists that requires such extreme cleaning measures from a flat, non-porous surface I'll never know.
That said, as for rebooting, a force-restart on your device *doesn't* require you to hold Home+Volume down+Power, that should only reboot you to bootloader/download mode.
Try again only holding Power+Volume Down. THEN, when your screen goes fully black, immediately switch to Power+Volume up+Home.
You should then boot into recovery mode without any loop.
Good luck!

I didn't dip the smartphone into a cup of liquid, i just took a piece of cotton, poured a bit of nail pain remover (don't know the exact name in english, sorry) on it and then scratched the part where the chewing gum was on (on the soft touch back key, which works 100% fine).
I am trying using the method you described, but it seems i can't go into recovery. Maybe i'm not quick enough! will keep trying. If you have any other suggestions i will be glad to hear that!
You could try to make a USB jig, or buy one off of eBay. They're really cheap. Its basicly just a resistens that force the phone to download mode. It have worked fine for all my Sammy's including A310 so it probably works for A (15) series as well.
Just put it in USB connector and press power for a few secs and you should be in download mode.
Just an idea if everything else fails

go to samsung
A hardware problem could NEVER be fixed by software ways... Unfortunatelly...
It seems that liquid made some changes on your PCB (maybe dissolved some isolators inside??)...
Anyway, go to service or replace it!
Hello everyone, i've updates about my problem and i would be glad if you could kindly point me in the right direction.
I purchased an USB Jig as suggested by one of you guys, i forced the device into dowload mode and installed a fresh stock firmware + custom recovery. When i try to boot i get a bootloop on samsung logo, and can't go into recovery probably because of the broken home button. I would like to enter recovery by using ADB command, i used to do it in the early days of Android but i'm a bit rusty and all the guides tell the procedure from an already functioning device. Since i can start it properly, is there a way to reboot it in recovery via ADB?
Thank you in advance

if you can access Download mode try this. hold volume down+home+power button. once the screen is black simply turn your finger to volume up while still holding the power and home button then release when SAMSUNG appears.

Thanks for the suggestion, but still couldn't get into recovery. I think the home button is really broken, therefore i need to access recovery in another way.
Cause i flashed the stock samsung firmware twice with odin and i can't still start the phone properly, every guide says that a wipe of cache and dalvik solves the situation. But i need to get into recovery for that.
I can't go into recovery with normal procedure probably because the home button is not working, and all the guides about adb commands say that you need to plug in your phone when it has fully started. So i either need a way to force the device into recovery with my computer, or a firmware that once flashed doesn't give me bootloop
Guys, I'm wanting to get into recovery mode to wipe my Dalvik cache but for the life of me I can't get to it. I'm doing up+power+home and I go to screen saying 'Downloading do not restart target'. I guess this is download mode. How do I turn this off?
For kicks I tried down+power+home and it asks me if I want to enter download mode. Also tried up+down+power+home but this just does a normal boot.
I know this is probably something really basic but I just can't get in. I did have KingRoot installed a while back. Could this have caused the problem? Any help is greatly GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
Hold power and volume down, then press volume up when the OS warning screen appears = download mode.
Hold power and volume up = recovery.
Don't bother with the home button. You don't need it. Should the key combinations not work correctly, you may have bad buttons on the motherboard.
Thanks for the quick reply. I double-checked my volume buttons and they work as they should (up = louder; down = softer). I tried power + up and still get the download mode screen. I even tried adb to boot into recovery and it brings me to that same 'Downloading do not restart target' screen.
Prior to writing my post above I tested my S4 to make sure I was giving correct information. Both key sequences worked on my S4.
The only thing I can think of is that you have a hardware issue with your volume down button. To test, try pressing and holding power without touching a volume button. If you enter OS warning mode without pressing a volume button, then your volume down button is worn out and needs to be replaced.
My reasoning is this.
Button failures are the most common issue with the Galaxy S4.
You instantly enter download mode by pressing power and volume up while being unable to enter recovery at all. This means you're skipping a step in accessing download mode, which wouldn't happen if all the buttons were working correctly.
Maybe, but shouldn't my phone go into recovery when I send the command to enter recovery from adb? It just reboots and goes to downloading. My buttons work fine when using the phone when android is up so I'm doubting that it is a hardware issue.
It should, but something is interfering with that. I'd go back to stock using Odin, simply to ensure all parts of the firmware match. Then see if you can get into the stock recovery with the key combo. If you are able to, then you can restore TWRP and flash a custom ROM. Otherwise the device needs to be looked at.
Thanks for the reply. I'm running the stock os without root. All I really want to do is wipe Dalvik cache. Can I do that from adb?
Yep.
