Hi guys,
I had posted a brief thread a couple weeks ago stating that my Nexus 4 restarted by itself, and got stuck in the bootloader animation loop. I couldn't remember whether I had enabled USB debugging in my phone prior to it killing itself (not rooted, completely stock, did the OTA 4.4.3 update just a few days before my phone died, and phone's been out of warranty for quite a while now ).
So I installed the SDK developer tooklit, and followed instructions to set up ADB.
However, everytime I boot my nexus 4 into recovery mode/"safe" mode, I get the following screen ("Screenshot 1" below).
From there, when I boot into recovery mode, I get the following screen ("Screenshot 2").
Every time I connected my phone to my laptop (keep in mind that I cannot start it .. I always plug it in when I'm in "Screenshot 1" mode) and try to used "adb devices", I get the following cmd screen ("CMD ADB Devices" picture below). I've repeated this process and tried plugging the nexus in during various points in different "safe mode" options. Same result: nothing is detected.
So I got frustrated at trying to backup any data from my phone, and just chose the "wipe data/factory reset" option from the nexus recovery mode, and I got this screen ("Screenshot 3"). I've tried this several times, and I keep getting this screen.
So my nexus committed suicide, and I'm totally not sure what to do. I've been trying to learn how to use ADB etc for the past couple of days by scouring through the xda nexus 4 forums, but I'm still very much a n00b. Do you guys have any advice as to what I can do to get my nexus 4 back to a usable state again?
Things I've already tried (in order):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/how-to-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2010312
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351
I also tried to ADB sideload a stock Nexus 4.4.3 factory image, but it is useless since my device won't even show up in CMD when i enter ADB devices.
However, the problem is that my nexus is never detected in CMD no matter what combination of things I tried, so I can't even do half of the things both of those thread instructions state.
I would greatly appreciate ANY ways to factory reset or flash working firmware on my phone! :highfive:
Edit: I reinstalled Android SDK, and connected my nexus to my laptop after entering fastboot ("safe" mode; volume down + power from phone off state), and I was able to get a slightly better looking CMD window when running ADB Devices command (See "CMD ADB Devices 2" picture). However, same problem as before, where my phone isn't even registering via ADB.
So again, your input would be tremendously appreciated.
If you boot in the bootloader (Volume- and Power) it's normal that you can't use adb. You have to use fastboot in the bootloader.
What is the output of fastboot devices?
Code:
fastboot devices
Have you already tried to flash the factory image or did this fail, too? You have to download the factory image from google, extract it and connect the phone in the bootloader/fastboot mode. Run the flash-all.bat then and it will reflash the stock rom. This will wipe your data, but I guess this shouldn't be a problem for you anymore because you already tried to do a factory reset!
If this worked, boot your phone and if it works fine, I would recommend to relock the bootloader (because it gets unlocked automatically if you flash the factory image and if you don't want to root/modify your phone in any way, your bootloader is usually locked):
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Try it and if there are any other problems or if it doesn't work, just ask again
Hi guys,
a week ago my ZUK Z1 started to bootloop without any evident reason.
I found it in this state picking it up from my pocket, so I guessed it was due to some random reboot that occasionally happened to it.
So, stating that:
- I'm with original stock CyanogenOS,
- I never rooted, or even accessed to the recovery menu prior to this event,
- I'm perfectly able now to communicate and send commands to device via adb or in fastboot mode,
problem is that I did NOT enable "USB debugging" and I did NOT OEM unlock when I had the chance to reach Developer options menu through the Android GUI (now I'm blocked by bootloop), resulting in an obvious "no unlocked device" error message each time I try to flash or write system partitions.
The output from "fastboot oem get-info" confirms this status.
I'm operating from a shell with adiministrator's grant in Windows 8.
No luck with "fastboot oem unlock", "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" or "adb root".
I used also "-i 0x2b4c" (vendor code) option in my commands.
Then, my question for you:
is there still a way to unlock bootloader in order to recover with CyanogenOS stock image, in this condition?
I saw there's a "debuggable" image on Cyanogen site, but I've no hint on how to use it and if it could help me.
Maybe ZUK has to provide to me an unlock key: I read on this forum that OnePlus and Huawei have similar option.
Thanks a lot in advance for any hint and suggestion you can give to me.

Sideload the official stock rom with zuk z1 tool. That s how i managed to un-brick my zuk. Download the stock rom , cm-12.1-YOG4PAS3OH-ham-signed.zip from this page https://cyngn.com/support. Use the toolkit provided here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-...alpha-t3235964 to sideload the rom. Wait until the phone restarts and thats it. You must also install adb and fastboot and have adb driver installed.I used the shenqi adb composite driver, but i guess the universal adb driver can work too. I had the same problem. Stuck in bootloop with USB debugging not enabled and bootloader locked.
Or you can try to fastboot the stock rom with the command provided in this useful tool.

Thanks a lot Extentho for your feedback.
I've already tried your fair suggestion: unfortunately, I'm stuck at the end of sideloading the signed .zip.
In fact, I see on screen logs that it's applying the update "unconditionally" (that sounds good), but nevertheless, when finished it returns "xfer: 1.00x" on PC shell and in recovery menu, on device.
Now, either if I reboot or power down and boot it again, the result is the same: still bootloop-ing.
Of course, at any other attempts leveraging on administrative privilege, it says that "device is locked", including those done through the shell tool.
Some excerpts from my last launched commands:

You must have the phone in sideload mode. There is an option to sideload in recovery menu.
Then use the command to sideload from the toolkit. The stock rom must pe renamed sideload and placed on desktop.
If the phone communicates in any way with pc, there is still hope. When you start the sideload process from pc, the phone should show an animation showing the flashing process. Post some pictures from where you are stuck, so i can make an idea about what is going on
my zuk z1 stuck to bootloop,
and android debugging is disabled.
phone can not detecting in fastboot mode.
please help.

I've tried also with the toolkit, but it's heavy bugged (also in 5.4 version) and, after all, it gets the exact same problem like me (not surprising, it launches my same commands ).
There's no useful image or snapshot I can share, because I see the animated green android logo moving its antennas on my device, while logs below saying that it's verifying package and then it's unconditionally overwriting system partition.
It seems all so normal and plain.
At the end of the process, no "installation complete" message, but simply I get back to recovery menu (where I started from).
In other attempts, I also wiped cache and user data, prior to rebooting, just to test if it was going to change something, but no luck.
The phone reboots, the "Cyanogen" logo starts to glow for 7/8 times and then... bzzzz, short vibration and all over again (i.e. bootloop).
I tried with an older official signed .zip from Cyanogen OS (cm-12.1-YOG4PAS3AJ-ham-signed, instead of newer cm-12.1-YOG4PAS3OH-ham-signed), but even worst, it fails at "verify package" step, aborting procedure.
MD5 signatures triple-checked each time versus source.
I saw some threads where it seems possible to change the bit, on system image, controlling developer option, to manually post-enable unlocking, but it's suitable only for Nexus or OnePlus One. No instructions for ZUK Z1.
Or maybe do I need a "donor" sharing a stock .zip with this option yet enabled?
Bootloop would be still there, but I possibly could enable to "flash", "boot" and "shell" vs the device, giving me much more options to try.
One last doubt anyway. If I press "Volume Down" + "Power" button at boot, I get into a menu like this:
http: // postimg.org/image/s5badiefh/ (remove extra spaces).
Viewing other examples posted on forums, I noted that at least the "Factory reset" is missing.
Could it be an hint for anything useful?

For me, this method worked exactly as described, booting into stock rom correctly.
now, if you mentioned it in the picture, there is another option. so, i ve noticed too this menu. There is an app called QPST wich can help you. Follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/help/bricked-zuk-z1-t3277257 .
So when you enter in QFIL, connect the phone to computer and boot with volume down+ power into this menu from your picture. The Qfil app should detect some ports. You must choose the 9008 one, from what i have read.
Anyway, for me this method, didn t work because the pc couldn t detect the right port, only the zuk tookit did it for me.
You read the thread i suggested, and try that method, it may work for you.

Thanks again Extentho.
I saw QPST trick, but it's not catching right port and/or not getting right permission to stop phone from re-booting.
I think that adb/toolkit method should work also for me. I made attempts with other official ROMs: I noticed that for the older ones, the result is a bit different. They get stuck in a "black screen + notify led lighted in blue" state, rather than bootlooping.
Maybe erasing system partitions is needed, but I'm very reluctant to such dangerous way, without expertised advice.
Weirdest thing is that I did anything to get this situation, I just found my device in this mess.
Of course ZUK official support is well silent at my requests.

Try to post some pics about the troubles you encounter. If we receive a solution, this may be helpful for all of us in the future. Now, exactly, what can you acces on phone(recovery, fastboot, )?
Also, check varios threads from other phones with the same problems(one plus one, lg , htc) ,etc. Find a solved situation like yours, and we may adapt that solution to you
Hi guys,
Just to close this topic.
I was finally able to install the ZUI ROM through the QFIL program.
It's a little bit tricky, due to the fact that it is strongly suggested:
- to use a Windows 7 machine started without Signature Enforcement enabled;
- to start QFIL (admin mode) and be prepared with all needed files loaded in its GUI;
- to power off the phone, then, while pressing volume up button, inserting the USB cable, attached (better if) on a 2.0 port to PC;
- to be fast pressing "Download" button on QFIL program.
After that, I unlocked the bootloader and performed a lot of alternative recovery process.
So, I installed on the device:
- ZUI ROM
- Cyanogen OS convert from ZUI ROM
- Cyanogen OS last updated ROM
- CyanogenMod 12.1 last nightly ROM
- CyanogenMod 13.0 last nightly ROM
and the winner is...
...
...
...
... none of the above.
Each time the very same behaviour: bootloop. So, my last conclusion is: hardware failure (I guess wi-fi module).
I give up.
But for anyone searching a safe way to unlock a bootloader without accessing to developer options: the QFIL method works like a charm (once installed properly).
Thanks for support.
Messed my zuk z1
I tried to flash stock room in my zuk z1 , I downloaded Qualcomm file for the ROM and installed the required in my laptop,I wiped all data in my phone using TWRP .though my power button is not working I used tool kit to reboot my phone by connecting into fast boot mode,here comes the prob by mistake I entered the wrong command which locks my bootloader .I don't know what to do...help me.....
Hello,
I am writing this thread for a friend of mine. He owns a Z1 - stock ROM, locked bootloader.
Today it started looping and I tried to fix it (telling him over a chat what to do). It goes through the bootanimation and then dies or while optimizing apps, or while starting them.
What we tried:
1) Wipe cache
2) Factory reset
3) adb sideload the current official CM onto it
Nothing helped, the error stays the same. We also tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64458076&postcount=4 but it never really recognised the phone (despite using the correct drivers and following the procedure) - it did not appear under ports (Windows 10?).
Is there any other way to unlock this goddamn phone? My Androids so far had an easily unlockable bootloader via fastboot. This would have, too, but in order to unlock the bootloader via fastboot you first have to allow this in the developer settings - which we can not reach due to the loop.
If you know some way to get a working ROM onto it, we would be very happy. In the end we will end up unlocking the bootloader and flashing another Recovery and ROM anyway. We only need some way to achieve this. I expect the way to do this will be the QPST thingy. Any ideas why it did not recognise the phone? He does not own a PC with another OS than Win10...
Thanks in advance for your help,
Moritz
EDIT: Looks like the sideload did work - after tens of reboots it finally succeeded and bootet straight into the ROM.
Took a lot of attempts, strangely.
Proceeding to unlock it
Mine does the same boot loop on CM13. After tons of different tries to fix it, i think it could have something to do with my fingerprint sensor which is not working anymore.
Maybe there is some kind of hardware malfunction and android crashes while initializing that piece of hardware.
Hello, I'm new to xda, in fact I registered just to ask for help. My p9 lite got stuck on huawei logo, when i try to turn off the device it just reboots 2 times and then just stays on huawei logo. I can enter fastboot and rescue mode, but i have not enabled usb debugging and oem unlock on the device earlier. To be honest this is my first android device, in the past i used only windows phones, so you could say i'm completely new to this. Any suggestions on how to recover my phone or flash any rom into it? I'd be very glad if someone helped me find the solution to this problem. Not sure if i made a thread in the correct place, direct me if i'm mistaken
There are few different versions of P9 Lite, look at the back of the phone to the bottom to see the numbers beside VSN and let us know.
1) Also when the phone is turned off plug in the usb to a computer or charging adapter
2) Hold down volume up & power
3) Let go of the power button when you feel the buzz while still holding the volume up button
4) Download latest version & recovery.
5) Go to Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging On
5B) If you don't see Developer Options in settings, then go to Settings>About Phone>Build Number & ( tap the Build Number untill it unlocks)
6) Update us on the status, hope it works out.

tried to enter recovery, still not work. can't go to developer options because phone is stuck on logo, can't power off. couldn't find any solution that works anywhere, been searching for more than 6 hours, still no use. phone model is VNS-L21 forgot to mention earlier
What exactly were you doing before this happened and does your computer recognize your phone when plugged in at all.
Try holding volume up & down together & plug phone in when it reboots on you, & report back with what you see. If anything at all.

I tried to install nougat update, computer recognizes it only in fastboot. holding volume buttons haven't changed anything still no progress. the thing is i had installed nougat a moth or so ago and it worked fine, then rolled back to marshmallow and now this. i'm pretty sure i tried to install correct package, because it was the same i had installed earlier
Did you download a adb tool on your computer that have the 'fastboot.exe' file? If so open that folder,
Have the mouse curser hover in that folder, hold down shift & right click the mouse
Open command prompt
Connect phone as is in fastboot mode
Type adb devices & press enter
Type adb continue & press enter
Hi,
I have the same issue as ellanyx.
my phone can only be stucked while booting or if I connect my phone to a computer, I'm able to boot it in fastboot.
as ellanyx, I didn't enable usb-debug nor OEM unlock option...
so when I'm in fastboot, I type the command "fastboot oem unlock xxxxxx" (hopefully the different data needed are the correct ones mentioned on the box of the phone) I get this error message:
C:\Users\Dieu\Downloads\SRKToolHuawei-STABLE-V1.3-20160619>fastboot oem unlock xxxxx
...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.016s
and off course the other options like "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img "... doesn't work.
I can't use the adb commands neither.
when I type the commande, as mentioned above, "adb devices" or "adb continue", nothing works.
So I'm a bit desesperate
do you have any solution for this kind of issue?
thanks
Dude, so the last firmware on your phone was MM or N? If it was MM you should put stock firmware appropriate for your model in dload folder on SD card and put volume+volume-power, and thats it. If you stack on N,....then I dont know because dload method doesnt work with N, or maybe works if you can find stock firmware with recovery for N.
Regards
Unfortunately I can't update with the 3 button update otherwise it would indeed solvemy problem.

Probably you didnt have correct Oeminfo for MM if dload method didnt work....Try to conect phone with Toolkit and follow procedure for flashing oeminfo and custombin, after that flash stock recovrry and b161 via dload metod. You will find it on forum here.
Regards
the procedure from SRK toolkit?
would it be possible to provide it? because I can't unlock the OEM and I didn't tick the USB debug think.
Maybe problem with the ps not phone so u can not connect with adb
Try with different pc you must have flash oem with fast boot without enable adb from phone if u in fastboot
I can only boot my phone in fastboot (vol- + power) and not in recovery (vol+ + power).
also when using the SRK toolkit, the first screen tells me to be sure that the usb debugging is enable, which I haven't done...
if I'm not mistaken, fastboot is to use the fastboot command and recovery the adb commands
the connection with fastboot works on my computer, the link is made. however when I type the command to unlock the OEM, I get an error stating that the command is not allowed.
when I use the SRK toolkit, with the different questions, he tries to connect the phone with adb and waiting.... waiting...
is there a command to reboot in recovery but from fastboot? in the otherway around it exists but it doesn't seem that from fastboot to recovery it exists.
thanks.

dload method works on N. I downgraded my phone from unofficial N update back to official MM update using this method yesterday. You just have to enable OEM at developer options on settings.
It looks like people can't be bothered to read the 1st post properly before they reply.
HE CAN NOT BOOT TO ANDROID SO HE CAN NOT ENABLE OEM OR ACTIVATE USB DEBUGGING!!!!
What he CAN do, is go into eRecovery and Fastboot.
With that in mind, I would suggest using the dload method through fastboot.
Also, make sure it is Huawei SRK Tools 2.0 that is used, as it actually asks if you are in debug mode or fastboot.
Note that there is a few bugs in SRK 2.0:
The TWRP recovery file has the wrong filename in the package, so it WILL fail unless you name it correctly.
Also, when trying to root, do NOT use the "P9 Lite" method as that WILL fail too. Use the "P9/P9 Plus" method.
I am trying to set up a complete guide that can restore the phone when it is stuck in fastboot, however I apparently went a step too far...

Boot into fastboot mode and flash a custom recovery by meticulus. Link : meticulus.co.vu
Then whenyou get stuck hold power and vol down button for 2 minutes the phone will reboot and then when it says that your device has been unlocked and cant be trusted then only press vol up key ( dont press power button then). The u get into huawei recovery. From that u should power off the phone. Now get a custom rom by meticulus into your device sd card ( Cyanogenmod 13 is recommended ). Then insert sd card in a powered off phone. Now press vol up and power key and flash gapps and custom rom and you are good to go.

So, MY question:
I have tried 4 times to get Nougat installed, but every time I got the SMALL package (1.25gb) which means it is not complete.
I decided to try ONE more time, but think I have made a serious mistake.
I was on B161 and tried to downgrade to B160 without upgrading to Nougat first.
This has caused my phone to be stuck at boot with the message "Your device is booting now..."
I can NOT get into eRecovery or fastboot no matter what I do.
If I just leave the phone, then it discharge very fast, but as soon as I plug it in, it starts up and gets stuck at the same screen again.
Does anyone have ANY idea about how I can get out of this problem?
UPDATE:
I have managed to boot to fastboot while connected to my pc.
The phone is unlocked but FRP is LOCKED, which means I can't flash anything.
I read about using Miracle Loader to remove the FRP lock, but it can't "see" my phone. Maybe I am doing it wrong?

Try to relock and then unlock the bootloader again. And make sure oem unlocking is enabled in dev options

I can NOT boot normally. And as FRP is locked, then I can't relock or unlock the bootloader.

Go to fast boot mode and from their try to flash meticulus recovery.
You can also try the adb method as well.

I have a custom ROM(Evolution X) installed on my Mi A1. I wasn't able to unlock my phone using the saved pattern today but could unlock it using my fingerprint. Foolishly, I restarted my phone thinking that would solve the issue. The pattern was recognized during the "Enter pattern to start device" phase but I can't unlock the screen after that as it is necessary to input pattern after a restart. The system UI restarts when I try to unlock using a pattern.
I don't have TWRP on my device as I hotboot it during ROM flashing.
My problems are:
- I can't hotboot TWRP as my default USB mode is "Charging" and to change that I need to unlock the phone
- Because of the above problem device is not showing up on adb/fastboot.
I can however boot into Android recovery.
Can someone guide me on how to unlock my phone?
I'm pretty sure the "charging" USB mode have nothing to do with the problem, as I regularly connect to adb in charging mode. Maybe you forget to turn on USB debugging?
However, I think you can still get into fastboot and boot the TWRP, because I don't think fastboot gonna be affected by that.
If the above cannot help then the only way now is flash the stock rom to clear the password.
