Dear XDA friends,
i always hoped not to be one of those guys, who f****d up their phones to the point of no return. I really screwed up this time. Well, here I'am writing you about my screw up.
I unlocked, rooted, flashed and repaired all kinds of android phones in the past years, never without problems, but I could always fix it somehow. Not so much this time.
Now I'm stuck at Bootscreen with the Zuk logo. I even have problems pinging the phone via ADB.
Sorry for my noobish question guys. Any help would be much appreciated.

I got this translated from a chinese website:
For fastboot mode:
The phone turned off; keep the connection turned off the data cable to the computer, press: [volume down key] [Power Key] waiting to enter the fastboot mode.
For recovery:
Turn off the device
Press and hold Power key
When vibrates Volume UP key + Volume Down key about 10 seconds
Release all key when Android logo appear then you will see Android System Recovery
Use Volume key to select Menu
Use Power key to Confirm
Can you enter any of these 2 modes?

The bootloop is just showing the ''ZUK logo'' in the middle of screen and "'powered by Android logo'' below,and the phone vibrates everytime it flashes these logos. I tried QFIL but it can only detects the unit on the first boot or first flash that is 2 secs. only from the time i press the power button, and then it disconnects and not detect the unit again. Does anyone know where can i find the scatter file , MTK ROM for zuk z1, i would like to try the SP flasher tool. Or if anyone have any idea how to solve this issue on lenovo zuk z1,pls. help.tnx
Can y get to fastboot ?
im facing the same problem after i had the stupid idea to lock the bootloader again, before that i flashed the phone successfully with the cm mod recovery and cm 13.
Has anyone found a solution to this ? or do i have to send it back ?
What i did exactly :
I locked the bootloader again and just to test it i tried flashing the recovery again , ofcourse it didn't work which was what i wanted.
Afterwards i rebootet the bootloader with sudo fastboot -i 0x2b4c reboot
now im stuck in a bootloop that i cant even stop , in other words i cant turn my phone off nor can i access the recovery or fastboot
Im feeling so stupid that i locked it again .... i will try to get into recovery after my phone ran out of battery but so far it looks quite bad...does anyone know if i will get a replacement even though it was my fault ? ( i don't need to say that it was my fault ..and the bootloader is now locked again )
UPDATE::
I found a promising thread about this problem, i will report back here if i was successful.

Please help , same problem
I am facing same issue too from 2 days. I didnt even try to flash custom roms or play with boot loader or recovery or anything. All of a sudden my phone entered boot loop. After two three bootloops phone is entering "12 apps optimized of 230 apps" mode, completing optimizing all apps and then failing to start apps, entering boot loop again.
Effort made so far to fix -
1) Went to recovery and cleared cache - didnt work
2) Went to recovery and did factory reset - factory reset did happen but boot loop didnt stop, I realized that factory reset happened because now its saying optimizing 120 apps instead of my 230 apps during the bootloop.
3) Went to recovery, Entered fast boot mode but not able to connect to PC. Fastboot devices is not showing anything. I made sure proper driver is installed after researching on XDA.
4) Went to recovery, Tried "Install update". Didnt install anything but browsed through folder structure and realized my data is intact
It will be great if someone can help me atleast recover my data before I handover phone to service center for fixing boot loop issue.
Same problem

Sorry For Re-posting Here. This is Solution
Why this is happening ?
Due to Dirty Flash from Zui or from COS/CMOD but suddenly Bootloader gets locked
May be Due to Some Custom Rom which only works with Old Bootloader ( And you are on latest 2.5 Zui QPST Flash)
Reasons are many. I also did same mistake. I flashed ZUI 2.5 using QPST then unlock bootloader using official site installed twrp after wiping cache system and data , Installed Lineage 0S JAN Build then without rebooting installed Lineage Nightly build (Latest) with Gapps After rebooting Phone goes into Restart endless loop on ZUK Logo. Blink and Vibrate .. After 1hr I figured it out but its 5am So slept.
HOW TO FIX ENDLESS REBOOT ON ZUK Logo ?
-> Identity vibrate patterns (Press Power Key I count 6- 7 Vibration pattern ) After long Vibrate immediately remove finger from power key.
->Once its Done (Phone completely off)
Download QPST and Official COS QPST from this Link https://goo.gl/InWQji OR https://goo.gl/iqrnlI (I am personally Very Thankful to D tech Terminal for posting Wonderful video on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Dl6JkAVpuM
<- please install all drivers and software.->) @ankurpandeyvns Thanks bro.
Main Task is here and Lots of Patience is required and You also need to be very Blazing fast to achieve this.
-Once you download and install Qpst open Qfil
-Now press Volume Up only and connect USB (Just press POWER KEY only for 1 sec It will vibrate and connect)
-Without waiting hit Download button.
-Voila It will start flashing your phone again and Hence Your phone is now Revive..
-Once Revive You can use it to again flash custom Rom or stick to stock Rom if you want.
Keep Flashing !!!
Patience is Key here. And Don't lose hope.
:good:
EDITED:
While connecting to pc and by pressing Volume key you also need to press Power key for 1 sec or 2 sec until it gets detected. Thanks addicted777 (for tip)

"It can't be trusted and my not work properly"
Hi,
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp but can't boot the phone anymore.
It only starts when pressing power button + volume up. Then I get following message two times before I get the third, final message mentioned in the headline:
Code:
Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted
After that it tells my to press the power button to continue -> phone goes off.
Can't connect to adb shell, so what can I do?

Can you get into recovery? If so, I would say connect phone in recovery, (will show up on PC as mtp device), then copy anything you don't want to lose. Then do a full wipe, and flash stock rom, or custom rom and see if the message is still there.
Managed to enter recovery for once. Flashed Omnirom but know it stucks at the 'Sony screen'.
Can't get into recovery anymore.
I did it!
It works!
Don't ask me how. Wild keypress combinations and luck.
I think its related to sony drm, you have to flash genesis kernel for it to work well, anyway good luck
Hi, big problem with my note.
Unlocked with custom rom today starts going in bootloop with warning screen about this is not the original rom. So I shut down the phone and after a bit I connect it to the power ac and the phone starts to boot loop with logo honor heavenly background. I cannot enter in bootloader pressing the right buttons.
Is it bricked? There's anything I can do? Please help me and sorry for my english.
Thanks.
Hi @rolling_bonzy
you can try to enter erecovery and let it install the latest version of stockrom.
to do this, connect your device to your computer with usb, then hold powerbutton as long as it needs to restart, then keep holding "vol+" until on the screen "your device has been blablabla not trusted" and the message shows up "your device is booting now..." - wait a while and you land in the Huawei eRecovery, where you can "Download latest version and recovery" ... do that
perhaps it is needed a second time after that for doing a factory reset in the same menu
let us know if it worked, cheers =)

Many thanks for your reply. Unfortunately no succes. But I notice that if I press "vol -" it stops to boot loop and the screen is black. If I release the button restart flashing.
and does it flash or only wants to?
perhaps you have a chance if you create a 'dload'-folder on your sdcard and therein copy this file (for example): http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3130/g1699/v168765/f1/full/update.zip (i have it from the topmost entry from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=EDI-AL10&firmware_page=0 -> click on 'filelist')
After that, connect your device with usb on the computer, restart and keep holding vol+ and vol-
keep us updated
I just have installed a Nougat based ROM on my old LG G2, the installation went fine. The system boots up normally but after a few seconds in the first setup screen it just keeps rebooting.
Now I want to wipe my phone and install another ROM but I can't get into the recovery. For some reason the hardware buttons method isn't working. I push the volume down button + power buttons until the LG logo appears, then release and push the buttons again. It just skips to the system boot.
Also the ROM doesn't come with advanced reboot menu enabled, it means the power menu just shows me the power off and standard reboot options.
Is there any other way I can get into the recovery?
to get into recovery via the button combination you have to shut off the device completely...
to shut it off completely - press the power button longer than 10 seconds, LG logo will appear for a second > don't release the power button until the logo dissapears...
now with the device powered off you can try button combinations... if it fails, turn the device completely off again and try again with another button combination
if you can boot into the rom - you can install some of the apps from the play store which give you an option to reboot into the recovery directly from the rom itself... there are several of them...
btw some of the custom roms have that advanced reboot option turned off by default - see deeper into some settings, maybe you have to to turn it on manually (it's usually in the "developer options" or in dedicated rom additional settings/customizations menu)
Hey everyone,
so here's my situation:
I unlocked the bootloader for my G6
I activated USB debugging and OEM unlock in developer options
I then flashed TWRP 3.4.0-1
Now the phone is stuck on the boot screen, when I hard reset (power button + volume down, then pressing power button again when G6 logo appears, then selecting "factory reset" and "yes" twice) the phone does not boot into TWRP but instead goes to the boot logo again and nothing happens. I tried leaving it for a while and it stayed like this until the battery ran out. When I plug it in, it starts the same procedure immediately. When I connect it to my pc, I cannot manage to flash anything because I can't boot into bootloader because the phone is not detected (my pc doesn't play the usb plug-in/unplug sound).
So my question really is: Did I kill my G6 since I am unable to flash anything or is there still an option to get bootloader running again? And yes, I did try the unbrick method under https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/how-to/lg-g6-unbrick-method-t3935924 but I get stuck at the point where you need to click "download" because my phone is not detected. I also heard about the method of shorting the pins beneath the flash but I don't know how to do that...
Any help is appreciated.
Hi,
I had the same problem and finally solved it by using the release of TWRP found here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-twrp-3-1-x-stable-official.3627595/
After flashing TWRP I followed those restarting steps :
Hold vol down + power for 10 seconds and your phone will power off.
Hold vol down + power / release power when the LG logo appears and then immediately hold power until the Factory Menu start
Menu select Yes
Confirm Yes
TWRP boots
Hope this will help
Edit : A more recent version of TWRP compatible with LG G6 is available here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-twrp-v3-2-3-1-for-h870-h872-us997-unofficial.3828254/
