Hello,
I installed LienageOS but could not get root working, so I tried flashing SuperSU from recovery. After this, the phone is stuck in the LienageOS boot logo.
I cannot go into recovery as the volume-up key is not working. I already changed the buttons flex cable, but seems like a board problem as it still doesn't not work. I also tried disconnecting the battery and waiting a few minutes, then reconnecting the battery, it works for other phones, but not ZF5.
Is there a way to force the phone to boot into recovery, without using the volume-up key?
Could you go to fastboot ?

No, as the volume keys don't work. if there's another method to get into fastboot I'll try it.

Hi guys,
My Yotaphone 2 is currently stuck in a boot loop (shows android logo, then black screen, repeat) after a software update. I can get to the 'Downloading...' screen via power + vol. key and so have tried adb/fastboot as suggested in other similar threads. ADB can't see the device, which I guess is probably normal since it isn't booted up, but fastboot seemingly can. I've tried flashing the TWRP recovery which seems to go through fine on the PC end but doesn't seem to do anything at all on the phone itself. Calling a fastboot reboot gets the phone back to the boot loop and power + vol. goes back to the 'Downloading...' screen.
I've also tried using the Yotaphone flashing tool to flash a full android image - this also looked like everything was operating OK on the PC end but didn't seem to change anything on the phone once the process was complete.
Is there anything I'm missing or anything else I can try? Any help/ideas much appreciated!
Cheers.

Do you have any idea what caused the bootloop? (maybe installing xposed or something?)
When you keep vol-up pressed at (not after) the moment the phone vibrates during power on, you will end up in TWRP recovery. There you can at least wipe->factory reset. Don't do this if you have stuff on your phone you'd like to keep though. (you can try to rescue/backup those by trying "adb pull <path_to_file>" when the phone is booted into TWRP)

It was caused by doing an OS update (wasn't rooted or modified), I've only since tried installing the TWRP recovery and using fastboot to flash an official image to fix the looping. Flashing TWRP appears to work according to flashboot but holding the volume up key at the vibrate on power on doesn't do anything sadly.

Maybe I should rephrase: the vol-up should already be pressed once the vibrate starts. For a timing-insensitive, fool-proof (no pun intended) way you can enable bootloader (like you did before: you get the Downloading... screen). Then keep vol-up and power pressed together, after 15 seconds the device reboots hard, keep both keys pressed until you see TWRP 'curtain' screen, then release.
Did you try to use the YotaFlasher Windows application to reinstall an official ROM and restore factory defaults? You can get it from here, also download a ROM for your region here.
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.

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.
I tried rooting Moto G4 Plus and just after flashing the supersu and rebooting, it got bricked. Nothing shows except LED blink while connecting to PC/charger. Also, it won't detect in the device manager as a qualcomm device/qhsusb bulk or anything... I seriously need your help. Please help.
PS: I surfed over various related threads and all of them required the device to be detected on PC.
1) are you able to power off your device, then hold down the power and volume down keys? Does that boot you into the bootloader?
Or can you hold the power button for 1-2 minutes to force a hard shutdown, then attempt to boot into the bootloader?
2) did you flash a custom kernel before attempting to root? On stock Nougat for our device, you need a custom kernel.
The device is already in the switched off stage. When I press and hold the power button, nothing happens. When connected to USB cable, the front LED blinks. Nothing more. It doesn't return any sound or indication while connecting to PC. I tried installing various Qualcomm drivers to get it detected on PC. The Windows device manager shows nothing.
I tried this tutorial to root my device. I missed flashing the elementalx kernel during the root process. it caused the brick.

That tutorial should work, provided you flashed the ElementalX kernel before rooting.
Hmm, what happens if you try to boot by holding down both the power button and the volume down key at the same time? You should still be able to boot into the bootloader (with the AP fastboot secure mode).
What TWRP and SuperSU did you try to flash?

I used twrp and supersu as exactly as mentioned in the root thread (twrp-3.2.1-0-athene.img & phh's supersu).
The key combo doesn't work either. No response. Is there any way to get it detected on PC?
I previously had it happened on my Yureka and I had to short the board to get it detected as a qcomm device.

That's odd, as that key combo should get you booting to the bootloader (as in the tutorial), which should then get your device detected via fastboot. Did your bootloader look similar to this when you were flashing TWRP?

If your device is still on, try a hard shutdown (hold power button 1-2 minutes until shutdown, verify it's off by connecting power, you should see the charging symbol come on), then boot by holding volume down and power at the same time.
You could also try a hard reboot https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/indevice_detail/a_id/110630/p/30,6720,9687
I just found that the volume down key is broken. I hope that's the reason it won't boot to the bootloader. Let me fix it first and try your suggestion.
And yes, the bootloader menu was the same as shown in this pic.
Thanks a lot for your time bro. Much appreciated.

I just disassembled the phone and flipped the volume rockers so that the volume down should work fine. Then pressed and hold vol - & power button. Violaaa. Got into the bootloader. On TWRP, Just wiped data and flashed the ElementalX followed by SuperSU. It's working super fine now. A billion hugs for your support.
So I was trying to flash a rom on this phone for the first time, I failed miserably...
Was following instructions from this thread: [ROM][OFFICIAL] Omnirom Q for OnePlus6T [Every Sunday]
After flashing the omnirom.zip I immediately tried to reboot in recovery and ended-up in a boot loop (see attached image).
I tried multiple times to go back to fastboot mode with vol-up-power combination, it did'nt worked. Always boot back to that screen.
I tried all imaginable combinations of buttons and timing but always ened-up on that screen... exept just one time where I finally ended-up in fast boot.
I dont know how I did it!
So then I pushed TWRP, I saw that the ROM's files were in both partitions, wiped the data and rebooted and returned to that same "unlocked boot loader" screen.
I've been stuck here for 3 days now, I want to go back to fastboot mode so I can push TWRP and restore my nandroid backup.
Anybody knows how I can do this?
Try holding power, volume up and down all at the same time without any cable plugged in to shut it down then while holding the volume up button plug the USB cable that's connected to your computer in. It should boot to bootloader screen.

No worries. Glad it works as I was in the same situation before myself.
Well I'm grateful that I was able to get the device shut down without a hot dead battery. I wasn't able to get it into fastboot by the volume up and plug in. I'm thankful it's off. Do you have any other ideas Im not concerned about data at all. I just would like to get my device back up and running..
Please help me out! Thanks
