I think my Z1 is really dead.
The phone is stuck on logo screen and gets very hot. The battery fails from full in less than 1 hour. No button combinations will work for reboots to recovery or fastboot and I cannot switch it off (Just reboots to logo screen every time)
I can ADB to the phone but not fastboot. If I adb reboot recovery I get a messed up corrupted screen with green vertical lines and flashing colours. Same for adb reboot bootloader (but only green vertical lines)
I searched around but no-one has this exact problem. I have tried QFIL but I can't get a port as adb reboot edl looks like it goes to the same corrupted screen and nothing happens
So is the phone dead or do you have any suggestions? Any help appreciated
Bro i recommend you to try pressing power button and both volume buttons at a time so you could go to recovery mode.If u try normal recovery process buttons at this time won't work.

Ok first thing try pressing both volume buttons and power button for 10 sec at a time. And as soon as the phone restarts leave the power button and press both the volume buttons after the vibration to go to recovery. If that doesnt work then use adb commands to restart it.

Finally had some time to look at this and amazingly that works (holding the 3 buttons). I thought I had tried every button combination going. Rebooting by adb didn't work either before. So thanks

You need to press Vol UP and PowerOn, not Vol Down

On my device it is PowerOn and VolDown. But I have to press and hold the VolDown button till the device is in bootloader mode.

Do make sure you are pressing the volume down button hard enough AND for long enough.

tried it but still doesnt go into bootloader mode... i have managed to go into bootloader mode before (with several htc phones i have owned), but i think something is broken this time (my hardware sendbutton also is not working any more, that is the reason why i need to return the phone).

Try running the attached EnterBootloader.exe from your HD2 (unzip, move .exe to phone, run).

Sorry then, Vol UP has been my other phone I haven't flashed the HD2 via SD Card yet.
I just can think that you do not press the Vol DOWN button hard enough or long enough. You have to press and hold the Vol DOWN button and switch on the phone, then lift the power button while still holding the Vol DOWN button.

thank you, with this file it went into bootloader mode, but somehow my hardware-buttons seem to be broken (in win mobile all of them beside the send-button work), when it says "Press power buutton to start update image", I press the power button, but nothing happens!
I guess thats it, no chance to restore SPL and no chance for warranty any more .

Hmm, very weird.
The actual keys are obviously ok - they're just not handled while in bootloader. I'm not sure what exactly is responsible for that, I assume it's not the OS, so perhaps SPL or Radio?
Not sure if it would make any difference, but perhaps you can try reflashing the HSPL (or maybe a different radio?).

when its asking to install the rom (in bootloader) hold down volume up (or whatever key it asks you to press to install) REALLY HARD,
another suggestion, take off the back, the buttons seem easier to press when the back battery cover it off
maybe this will work
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Security > Factory reset.
2. Enter “1234 ” and then tap Yes.
Ooops!
If your power button does not work it will be impossible to flash from SD card and this is the only way top reflash a stock rom = the only way to uninstall HSPL.
But if this is the power button, then how do you already power up your device ??? Is this your reason to send it to the repair?
You seem stuck in a button my friend...

it is a real wierd problem, i can switch the phone on with the power button and when it is turned on, all keys work beside the talk(send) button. but i can not go into bootloader mode and power button / volume down button to confirm / cancel update when entering bootloader mode with bootloader.exe don't work.
you should really try to reflash radio and hspl again. if you can power on the device the hardwarebutton must work. looks like a software problem...
have you check that you vol down button is working? it happen to me before,
maybe you could contact the hspl maker if he can help you? i have in my mind that he could "hack" the procedure to NOT ask for SEND key press?
Thanks for all your replies. I left the phone off for about 4 hours charging. I switched it on press the vol down button and it worked! How weird / lucky. So I flashed a new rom and I am working again.
Thank you so much for you time.
One last thing though, now in WinMo the vol up and vol down work and the power button work. But the other 4 hardware keys don't, they just force the phone into vibrate/silent mode. When I get a phone call it also turns the volume down/off/vibrate.
Maybe a hardware failure?

I have a weird thing going on with my HD2.
When I soft-reset and hold down the vol down button it refuses to go into the bootloader screen, also when I try and hard reset it.
The phone boots just fine and the vol up and vol down buttons work just fine.
Any ideas?

From my knowledge you have to use both down and up volume buttons to get into bootloader screen.
By just keeping volume down it's doing hard reset.
Someone correct me if im wrong.

not needed to do it for a while but im sure its just the down key
It is just the down key, when you press down and up volume buttons then power button it gives you the option to Hard Reset.
vol up+down = hr
vol down = boot
there is a program that reboots your phone and enters boot screen. try it! it is called enter boot or something like that.
another idea is flashing another radio and/or hspl2
Others have correctly told you that it is only the volume down button to boot into bootloader mode. Switch the phone off and then while holding in the volume down button, briefly tap the power button (still holding the volume button in).
Another option if this does not work, from a downloaded rom file, run the CustomRUU.exe. It will unpack a number of files in the folder you are running it from, one of which is named EnterBootloader.exe - copy this to your sd card and run it.
You know I think it is a bit more sinister than that. I think the hardware buttons themselves are ceasing to function.
Like the the phone hardware button doesn't work in WM now.
I flashed a stock ROM and that is even worse, the vol up/down don't work either.
See the attached picture - I changed to the Titanium screen and see at the top where is has "Start". I guess that only appears when the device is doing something, like when Sense is loading. I assume something has gone wrong.
Maybe I should MTTY and see where that takes me.
Any other advice would be welcome and I understand that any actions I take on my phone are my actions and no one else is accountable.

I recently flashed a rom, but forgot to clear the data, now im stuck in a boot loop, the google boot logo pops up then restarts and loops over and over i cant get into the recovery screen with the volume/power buttons, any idea what i need to do?
Hold power button down for 15 seconds. At that point the phone should be completely off. Now hold the power and the volume down and you should get you into recovery

press and hold the power button for at least ten-15 seconds if it goes off then push the vol down and button at the same time when the lg logo pops up release both buttons and immediately press them both again and you should get back into recovery it might take you a few goes but it should do it - if that doesn't do it try above youll get there in the end

when i try that, it goes right back to the google/4 colors screen and resets itself over and over....
what recovery do you have installed? although the process is the same, it might take a few goes but it will get into it, following the methods already mentioned

How do I do this? The phone is stuck at the boot animation and i just cannot get it to do anything else, no button combo seems to work, i casnt even get it to power down properly. Never had this much trouble with a phone before.
Hi,
Power OFF your phone then:
HOW TO ENTER RECOVERY
Method 1: Hold the power button + volume down button until the LG image appears. Once it does let go of the buttons then immediately push and hold them again until recovery boots.
NOTE: The method above will arrive at the "hard reset" area, but when choosing hard reset, it will take you to CWM (without actually resetting).

Thank You, what a fiddly process!! Now restoring from backup.
^obviously doesn't understand that you cannot power your phone down properly..
Lg is a little tricky.. But.. In order to hard power down, you must hold the power button until you see the phone power off, but don't let go or it will reboot. Keep holding the power button until you see the lg logo and it will then power down completely.
To get to recovery, hold vol down+power until you see the recovery mode loading. You will see the lg splash screen first but just keeping holding the buttons.. No need to let go and then try pressing them again as the post above me stated...

Are you sure it doesn't actually reset? I'm curious ... because Ive got TWRP and just to avoid that I always reboot into recovery from the rom ... and I've just been scared whenever I see that white screen
Hi
I rooted my nexus 10 some months ago. All worked fine until yesterday. I wanted to go back to original firmware and used the WUGs nexus root toolkit to download 4.4.3 version and flash it. But afterwards the tablet doesnt boot anymore. Google logo appears and then the circle thing never goes away. I searched many threads, and all base on going into fastboot and flash again, but thats the problem. I cant get into fastboot. The usual combination (Power and vol+ and vol-) doesnt work! I tried many other combinations with different timings, longer press only vol+ and power ...., I always get to google logo after it vibrates.
Is there any other way to get into the fastboot mode ?
Can I connect it to the computer and interrupt the boot process when I switch it on via the PC?
thanks in advance
regards
Erich
Try to connect it to PC with original usb cable and run "adb devices".
If you see Nexus device, you can try "adb reboot recovery" and upload a ROM to /sdcard with "adb push" for flash it.
Hi
Thanks for your relpy.
But thats the problem, even if I could upload a file with adb, which is not working, how would I flash it if I cant get into fastboot or recovery mode ???
thanks anyway
regards
Erich
I think what patzzz is saying is that it depends on your bootloop, often is the case that when someone is in a bootloop the kernel does initiate and adb is functional. Not always but at times for sure.
So if so you can attempt
adb reboot recovery
Or
adb reboot bootloader
If the above doesn't work than you will have to continue trying to boot to bootloader manually with key presses (which I believe is power on while holding volume down)
Best of luck!
Hi
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately it doesnt work. It made a batch file which calls adb devices and adb reboot bootloader in a loop, so it can send it to the device if it is found, but the tablet isnt regonized, tried some reboots and no luck, adb cant find it )))-:
regards
Erich
It seems a brick, but you can try using fastboot command instead of adb:
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot reboot-bootloader

I suggest you do a factory reset from the stock. You have gone back to stock firmware so you should have stock recovery. I had this happen once and this work for me.
Hi
I will try it with fastboot too, maybe it works....
How can I do a factory reset without recovery mode ?
thanks

1.If your tablet is on, turn it off.
2.Press & hold the Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down buttons at the same time for several seconds. You'll see the word "Start" with an arrow drawn around it.
3.Press the Volume Down button twice to highlight Recovery mode.
4.Press the Power button to start Recovery mode. You'll see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation point and the words "No command."
5.While holding down the Power button, press the Volume Up button.
6.Use the volume buttons to scroll to "Wipe data/factory reset," then press the Power button to select it.
7.Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data," then press the Power button to select it.
>>2.Press & hold the Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down buttons at the same time for several seconds. You'll see the word "Start" with an arrow drawn around it.
Thats the problem, it doesnt work! Tried it a dozent times, only Google logo appears.....
