[Q] Nexus 7 weird bricked

I have a 2012 Nexus 7 32gb wifi tablet, I believe the 4.2.2, unlocked and rooted (tried to update to newer android version but failed during auto update), on stock rom. Has been laggy lately...noticed that if I turned it off (not power off), by the next morning I would have to hold the power button to turn it on going thru the Google unlocked screen with black background then the google X screen then input password (even though battery was fully charged)...rather than just starting at password screen. Then suddenly today, it kept freezing after a minute or so after entering the password whether using an app or not. Kept having to hold power button to reboot...had to reboot around 10 times! Then finally, it would just freeze at the "Google" screen with unlocked padlock logo and would not go further!? Tried booting into bootloader and going into recovery mode...but then it would freeze at the "teamwin" start up screen. Went home to use wug's nexus 7 toolkit to flash back to factory stock...didn't work. Still stuck on "google" screen but now has bootloader option "start", "power off" etc. on "google" screen (probably cause I was trying to flash 4.3 as factory stock). It didn't really complete the flash to factory either cause it said it was waiting for the device to boot but the device never booted back up after waiting and waiting. So pressing volume down and power I just booted into bootloader while pc said waiting for device. Said it failed writing bootloader, also boot.sig and recovery.sig not in archive. Now it says "booting failed" in the top left corner of the "google" start up screen (with the bootloader option to "start", "power off", "restart bootloader" and "recovery mode" on same screen. If anyone has any suggestions, much appreciated.

You can't update modified firmware i must be stock for OTAs. If vol down + power key don't work, try this method (make sure battery is not drained out) - take your phone while it's off, press and hold vol down and vol up buttons together and plug it into computer via USB - it should boot in fastboot mode.

[HELP] Phone won't open the bootloader on Moto G4 Plus

I was flashing the Lineage OS 14.1.2 using the latest TWRP custom recovery. I wiped the necessary partitions excluding the internal storage and i unknowingly hit reboot while the OS was not installed. The phone restarted and got stuck on the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted." screen. I tried to open the bootloader again by holding power down+volume down and it restarted and again got stuck at "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted." screen, any help?

Hold the power button down until the screen turns off, and at the INSTANT the screen turns off, begin holding the power button. The phone should boot into fastboot mode.

Not working

Good to know that it did work. Yeah, I meant to hold volume down.
Also, for future reference, when you force shut down the Moto G4, the first shutdown starts an autoreboot. So, you don't even need to continue holding the power button- you can release the power button after the screen turns off and just hold down the Volume Down button.

Note 8 with boot loop and no access to bootloader

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

LG G6 AS993 not booting to bootloader

I currently own an LG G6 AS993, and seeing as there is not going to be an OTA Pie update for the phone, I thought I'd go ahead and get a ROM instead. There's just one problem, and that is that I can't even get into the bootloader to unlock it.
Here's what I've tried:
1. Using ADB commands, adb reboot bootloader, adb reboot-bootloader, fastboot boot bootloader
The phone was recognized in adb devices, however, after entering these commands, the phone just booted normally back into android, like a normal restart.
2. Using the volume and power buttons. I held the volume up button and plugged in a cable that was connected to my PC, and it booted into 'Download Mode' and then proceeded to a "Firmware Update' screen. After pressing down the power button it brings me to another screen with the options to view some wifi details, 'Power Off', 'Phone Info', and 'Back', which brings you back to the "Firmware Update' screen.
I also tried the same but this time while holding down the volume down button, and it shows the phone booting for 2 seconds, and then turns off and proceeds to show the battery symbol with the amount of charge.
These are the only ways of getting into the bootloader I've seen for this phone, and they simply do not work, so if anybody could help that would be very much appreciated!
