Hello,
I loaded my SM-G900F with a custom rom and it suddenly died... There is no way to switch it on and when I connect it to my laptop it shows QHSUSB_BULK under device manager. I read a lot of posts and I understand that I need an unbrick image to boot from an sd card. Is that the right thing to do?
I would really appreciate is somebody could help.
Thanks in advance!

What rom, and what version were you on when you started? Which recovery, and which version do you have loaded? What, exactly was the procedure you followed, and what version of which custom rom did you try to flash?

Hi hexavoodoomal!
Thanks for replying to my message. The ROM was Sixperience 7.0. I am not sure about the recovery... I am sure I had TWRP installed.
Everything was working fine. The ROM installed properly and worked with no problems for a couple of days but suddenly the phone died. I am sure that it was updating something from Samsung. ANT+ may be?
Can you help?
Thanks!!

I hope so. Can you boot into recovery by removing the battery, and waiting for 10 secs, replacing the battery, and depressing the volume down button, the home button, and the power on button all at the same time?

No. I cannot boot in recovery mode. I tried several times...
Volume down is download mode
Volume up is recovery
A ROM can not break download mode, it's hard coded into the hardware, if removing the battery hasn't worked, power it on, and hold the power button for 30 seconds, remove the battery for 30 seconds, replace and try again
Oops, ha-ha. I called it recovery' didn't I? My bad. Get into download mode, follow the prompt, get odin, and flash the stock ROM for your phone. You can find links to the latest firmware on this site. There are other sites that have it too, but yiur best served geting it here. That will get you back where you started.
Hey all, completely new to this forum and my Oneplus Two that I've had for a little over two weeks.
I recently got a OTA update for Oxygen 2.2.0 but I can't seem to install it. Everytime I download it and click the "install" option, the phone reboots (probably to go to recovery) but after a very brief splash screen and a vibration, it vibrates again and displays the standard boot splash screen, boots into the OS and offers me to download the update again.
I've done a little troubleshooting in the past two-three days and from what I understand, the phone doesn't seem to be able to boot into recovery or fastboot. I've enabled the advanced options in the "reboot" menu and when selecting "recovery" the phone reboots and does the same behavior described above. I tried powering off the phone and booting with the volume up button pressed (while pressing power) and the phone boots and displays a "Fastboot Mode" splash screen but it seems to hang there forever until I actually shut it off again and power it back on. Also, I've tried booting it into recovery from ADB, connected to my PC and I get the same behavior: brief splash screen with a vibrate and then the phone seems to reboot again normally.
I haven't tampered with the phone yet, it is brand new out of the box, not rooted and nothing other than simply installing a few games, Nova Launcher, changing the wallpaper and using it as you would normally use your phone.
Anyone has an idea how I could actually get the Recovery functioning on this phone?
Best regards and thanks in advance for any help!

That is the norm for fastboot, it doesn't go past that screen.
It may not make a difference, did you try to boot to recovery via Power+Volume Down buttons?
Greetings Khaos64,
Yes, I've tried booting with Vol-Down+Power but the phone does not start.
With volume-up+power, I get the Fastboot splash screen but the phone does not respond to any input.
I tried selecting "bootloader" from the reboot menu but I get the same thing: Reboots and after a second, the phone reboots again normaly and into OxygenOS.
Is there a way to verify if the bootloader or recovery is corrupt and maybe reflash the stock recovery onto the phone?
Thanks for your input!
You may just want to go straight to oneplus support since everything is stock and only 2 weeks they should be able to get you updated or replace it.
If you'd like to be more hands on... maybe something below can help.
So your phone isn't recognized/no commands acceptred from your computer when booted to fastboot?
Such as unlocking your bootloader and booting into twrp... "fastboot boot yourfilename.img" or maybe flashing it.
Make sure OEM unlocking is selected in Developer options.
If you can't do that then this may not work but is worth a shot.

I did try to contact Oneplus for support but I am not the one who purchased the phone. Long story short, it was a gift from my girlfriend that she bought off of someone. The phone was new in box and was a warranty replacement. I would have to contact the seller and go trough him for support unfortunately.
Thanks for the different suggestions!, I will fiddle around with it this afternoon while the kids are having their mid-day nap and I'll get back with the results
Thanks again for the help, it's greatly appreciated!
Hello,
I eventually started fiddling around with fasboot and tried unlocking the bootloader. This sent the phone into a bootloop where it would try to boot into recovery and reboot right away.
I found an article on how to restore the phone to Oxygen 2.1.1. It would wipe user data but I did it anyway and it actually did restore the phone and now I have a worling recovery.
Here is a link to the guide I used:

HI there,
I am having the exact same issue with my oneplus 2. Unfortunately i know almost nothing regarding these android thingy. I know it has been almost 2 years, would you mind guide me through the steps? I would appreciate it so much.
Thanks.
Hi guys, I have a problem with my LG G2 16gb. Today I have upgraded CM 13 with the last nightly. After having flashed Rom and Gapps I rebooted the system. The system runs but with some bugs (dialer crashes, screen doesn't wake up anymore when it goes in standby mode). So I decided to come back to the previous nightly, but I suddenly appreciated that I can't go in recovery mode.
I can go in download mode but both Flashtool and SRKtool don't work. I really don't know how to do.
I admit that I'm not able to resolve 2% problem with the fix.
I read that if I try to flash a firmware 10A then Flashtool should work, but I didn't manage to find a mirror of it.
Someone could help me? I Would be grateful
Same problem here. Flashed from cm-13.0-20160427 to cm-13.0-20160430 and now have the same problems. Using d802 with twrp-3.0.2-0
CM is booting, but has the same bugs as written above - no dialer, once in standby screen doesnt wake up any more.
I tried to reboot in Recovery from booted CM, the Phone is hanging with the "Reboot" on Screen. Same with normal reboot or shutdown. It just hangs. The Combination with the Volume Key Down & Power wont let me in Recovery as usual.
CM13 ist really awesome and nightly to nightly it was getting better, but the nightly today just went that wrong.
Would be nice if there is some solution to get the phone back working.
Thanks a lot for any advice or help!!!
Greetings,
Feldinos

I had some problems with booting into recovery as wel. CM13's latest nightly kept freezing my phone and I wanted to go back to my previous backup, but I couldn't boot into recovery from anywhere. Luckily I remembered that the button combination has changed with the latest bootstack I installed. It'sn now like this:
Force a shutdown by holding the power button. As soon as it goes black, press power + vol down, release as soon as the logo appears and then hold vol down + vol up. Then you should be able to get into recovery.

Thanks a lot for that information! Almost forgotten that i had installed an new boostack as i flashed the first CM13 nightly that was released.
I was now able to get in recovery and flash 04-27 nightly. Now my phone works normal like it does before i flashed 04-30.

When it reaches 2%, it suddenly appears a message telling me that my g2 is disconnected.
Unfortunately for modding, I installed w10. My pc has gotten better, but almost all the programs for modding don't work anymore. In addition to this, I didn't found drivers working well.
I'm thinking about restore w8.1.
There's a way to fix the problem of 2%, but I am not so prepared to use adb.. I'm aware about my limits

You're welcome As long as you can remember the different button combinations to get into recovery, you shouldn't be afraid to flash roms. Just never forget to make a nandroid backup before upgrading any rom!
If you start to flash roms, you WILL mess up at least once And this time, it wasn't actually your fault, CM13 messed up.

Hi Nikhil,
Can you try to get into recovery mode? You need to understand a few commands of ADB also. Don't worry. Your phone will be working again. Remove the battery for a few seconds and put it back. Don't start the phone. First hold the volume up button and then at the same time hold the volume down button. Keep pressed both the buttons and then press the ON button ( All three buttons at the same time ). After your device vibrates a little and sows the YU Logo, let go of all the buttons......you should get into the bootloader menu. Tell me if you can do that. Will explain the steps further after you reply.
Yes I can enter into the recovery mode, but when I try to enter into the bootloader it shows fastboot mode for a sec and then all black screen. I want to tell you that my phone is not rooted and neither i unlocked the bootloader nor installed twrp or cmw!! But still it is bricked without any reason. Is there any solution to recover my data??

Hello..watching my switched off yureka for over 3 days now. Tried flashing cwm recovery finding nothing else to do. Till that time I hadn't tried switching the phone on while plugged in. Don't know if the cwm recovery thing worked or not, but from then on I am unable to reach the recovery (vol up+vol down+power).
But then suddenly in the plugged in state my phone comes alive and boots completely!!!:cyclops::victory:. And then I get to know that while charging, the gandu phone is completing its boot process. But after a few minutes its blacking out and starting its on and off routine again. (minutes varying from 1 to 45 , not sure depending on what, because now I am running hotspot and LTE on the phone to write this on the laptop..and yet it is awake for more than 45 minutes now got a vibe that if the screen is turned off the phone will not shut down. ) ... guys please help. how to make it work without the usb pushed at its back...?
Edited a day later: went to the service centre.. They simply said the battery needs to be replaced. Yes it is all good now. Relieved.

yes it did stuck once or twice at the userdata erasing stage when I was putting up the new ROM but after some attempts,it never got stuck at any stage but even after successful installation, the problem existed...Now I have given my phone for repair and the store person said that there is some power issue in the board...its not an software isssue.

Hi!
I used my S7 Edge for a couple of years and now I am afraid it may have died on me. As always, backups of f.e. pictures are not up to date.
During the night, it lay on my Qi charger. When I took it in hand, the screen was extremely dark and stuck in the "loading Lineage" screen. I tried to reboot. It was stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy" screen.
I wanted to boot into recovery and wipe the cache and see if it works again. But I can't boot into recovery mode. No matter if I connect it to a USB cable, the button command does not work.
Switching the device off also isn't possible. The only way to switch it off is disconnecting the battery (I have opened it to do so).
The only thing I can do is booting into download mode (so I know my volume up button works...).
Several times the screen was stuck on the "empty battery" symbol - which did not change no matter how long I had it in the charger. I can't really replicate how I got to the battery screen. I installed another battery just to see if if by some magic this would change something, but nothing changed about my issue. No boot possible and no booting into recovery.
I thought to myself: Well, maybe if I reinstall TWRP I can get into Recovery again. But when I try Odin I get the error message: "there is no PIT partition"
I know you will want additional info:
sadly, I cant' say which version of lineage I had running. I would have to look into my phone - which I can't.
I installed Lineage a couple of years ago, the phone was rooted and had TWRP recovery. I changed my USB port and Audio port several months ago.
But everything was running fine - I did not change or do anything recently. It happened overnight.
Do you have any ideas what I can do? I am brooding for two days now over this issue and I am at the end of the line here.
Did my memory just die on me? Is it an unfixable hardware issue?
Or software-related and potentially salvageable?
thanks in advance for anybody that bothers with my problem.

Hi!
I used my S7 Edge for a couple of years and now I am afraid it may have died on me. As always, backups of f.e. pictures are not up to date.
During the night, it lay on my Qi charger. When I took it in hand, the screen was extremely dark and stuck in the "loading Lineage" screen. I tried to reboot. It was stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy" screen.
I wanted to boot into recovery and wipe the cache and see if it works again. But I can't boot into recovery mode. No matter if I connect it to a USB cable, the button command does not work.
Switching the device off also isn't possible. The only way to switch it off is disconnecting the battery (I have opened it to do so).
The only thing I can do is booting into download mode (so I know my volume up button works...).
Several times the screen was stuck on the "empty battery" symbol - which did not change no matter how long I had it in the charger. I can't really replicate how I got to the battery screen. I installed another battery just to see if if by some magic this would change something, but nothing changed about my issue. No boot possible and no booting into recovery.
I thought to myself: Well, maybe if I reinstall TWRP I can get into Recovery again. But when I try Odin I get the error message: "there is no PIT partition"
I know you will want additional info:
sadly, I cant' say which version of lineage I had running. I would have to look into my phone - which I can't.
I installed Lineage a couple of years ago, the phone was rooted and had TWRP recovery. I changed my USB port and Audio port several months ago.
But everything was running fine - I did not change or do anything recently. It happened overnight.

Hi, try to flash the stock firmware otherwise I really don't know :/
I guess I will lose my data when I install stock firmware, don't I?
What I ask myself is: Is the reason for not being able to boot into recovery that my device always thinks my battery is empty?
Is the fact that I can boot into download mode a sign that my memory and/or motherboard is still intact?

Are you using Lineage OS? If yes, then definitely yes. On my Xiaomi, I couldn't get into fastboot mode or into recovery, I don't know why and somehow I got there, I don't even know how I think I held the power mode for a long time and when the phone turned on I held the volume up button to get into recovery finally succeeded on the umpteenth attempt and from recovery I restarted the phone in fastboot mode and flashed the stock firmware. And yes, being able to boot your phone into fastboot is a good sign. It would be worse if it wasn't possible.
I am still stuck with the problem. I can boot into download mode. I can't find a way to boot into recovery.
Is there anything I can do in download mode?
If I find the lineage version I originally installed on my device, could I install it via ODIN and get my phone back without data loss? I have only ever installed ROMs via TWRP.
Just an idea, but as of now I get the error "could not find PIT partition" anyway while trying to reinstall TWRP.

Yes, you can use download mode to install the firmware via Odin. Look
That means giving up hope for my personal data...
But even if I want to do this, I run into the problem, that I can't install anything due to "could not find PIT partition"...
