When you hold these two buttons and you see the LG logo, release and hold them again fast until you see factory reset screen. At this point press the power key three times and you will go to recovery. An press the thanks button here.

I think you have have to hold for 5 seconds to completely power down.
Hold vol- and power key and when logo pops up release power key and again hold power key then Reset screen should display. Press power until it starts factory reset which will dump you into Recovery.

No with no rom it will probably just sit on the LG logo or something
Have you tried this?

Might be your only option then
Has adb ever seen your device before? seems weird thats its not being detected in recovery

i had to get ADB on my device to root and put CM there in the first place, not sure why its not working now... maybe because USB debug isnt checked? i have no clue.
all i need are drivers right? is there a good link for re-setting that up

my adb works fine even with no rom
maybe try to reinstall the usb drivers and replug the phone
http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-D801 scroll down and download... the driver should work fine even though its d801

try putting a rom on a usb stick and then in recovery install from usb? not sure whether that would work but its worth a try

i installed those drivers but its not recognizing device in adb

[Q] Bricked Verizon G2

I made the mistake of wiping TWRP from my phone. I did a factory reset when I booted into TWRP. I tried installing the camera app mod. I am on 4.4.2. I am currently stuck on the LG screen and the phone will not power down. I cannot boot into download mode or recovery. I have tried to research as much as I can from other threads and I cannot find any that match my issue. Do I need JTAG service to fix this?

While my phone is stuck on the LG screen (the phone will not power down) I hold the power button until it powers down, and it automatically reboots. When it reboots I hold the power button and the volume down button when the LG screen reappears and it just reboots again. Thanks for the quick reply. -Josh

Good news I just hit the right combo of keys at the right time and I got into TWRP. I will update this as I progress. I got it solved. I restored from the backup I made. Thanks again.

all the phone is doing is boot loop

Of course you can. i think that you should shutdown the device and just hold the three buttons, it should work if you on bootloop

a bit of a problam
when i press the power button nothing happen, the only why to shutdown is let the battery drain
from the bootlooping but in the moment I plug the phone to charge so I can do something he is bootlooping

Pull the battery. Put it back in. Hold power button and volume down until you're in download mode.

Well that's deffinately weird.
Is it under warrenty? Because if you can't get to download mode I'm thinking that's a next step.
How about recovery? Can you get to recovery? Power plus volume up?

if I could get in to recovery , this thread was not exist because in "basic" bootloops
I know how to fix.
warrenty it's a bit of a problam because my phone is rooted and rooted phones disable the warrenty
but it's dont boot up so how can know he is rooted LOL, I think I'll go to the store i bought it from
and ask to fix this, but I prefer to fix it in my home so if threre is a solution I'll take it

stuck on android screen and volume rocker not working cant boot into recovery

Hi all,
I hope I am posting in the correct place.
I got my screen fixed by a guy and he returned the phone with the volume buttons not working.
He told me to do a factory reset but I forgot I had a custom Rom installed(extrestolite) so after factory reset the phone is stuck on android screen and I can't use the volume button to boot into recovery. When I connect the phone to my laptop it doesn't show up as an adb device because its not fully booting I presume. So I can't adb shell into recovery either. Do I have any other options here or has my stupidity and this guys incompetent work doomed my phone? Thanks guys.

Did the volume keys work before the screen repair?
If yes, I'd open the phone again and see if it is a simple fix

Yes the functionality of the phone was perfect before the screen fix. I went to a shop and the guy said the volume buttons are soldered to the motherboard(replacing or reconnecting the buttons was my first thought) is this true?

Can you boot into download mode and flash the stock rom with the microSD hack?

A1 Suddenly Dead

Hi
i bought before 2 weeks Xiaomi a1
it wored very good.
Today while I wanted to turn on the screen it did not respond.
The phone is not responding to any type of pressing.
I must say that the phone is new, did not get any kind of hit , and 5 min before this problem it used to work really good.
I think that the phone is in brick mode, and i can't enter to fastboot option because the phone is not responding....
Pls help my solve this problem.
Thanks

Try holding the pwoer button for more then 10 seconds, that should reset it... once you start it up aghain turn of ambient screen... Gave me troubles too... Hope that helps.

Has that still not been fixed with November update? I turned my ambient screen back on to see. So far, 2 days since update and no black screen after notification.

I'm guessing it's not dead. I have the same problem before as well. It was the buggy Ambient Display. Force restart your phone by pressing power button and holding it more than 10 second. First thing on boot up complete, go to Settings > Display and turn off Ambient Display.

You must keep pressed vol down + power until the phone does show "FASTBOOT"

Well there is something strange.
Leave the phone discharge
Then let it charge
Then power on with vol down + power

Try these 2 things
1) charge your phone for 2-3 hours. if didnt switch on try this 2
2) Connect your data cable with pc. In mobile Press volume up + volume down and plug in the other end of usb cable to your mobile. you need to hold the keys. this will boot your phone into fastboot.
If boot steps didnt work then it might be a hardware problem or hard brick.

Visit customer care(they will probably say motherboard problem as always) or try qfil method which is quite complex if this flashing things are new to you.

you should press the power key while charging cable connected.If it doesn't work , unplug the charging usb and plug again reverse(type c's reversibility).If it can't, try with another AC source,another person,another location.

You switched off the phone in middle of installing ota, best bet is take it to the take it to the service center and tell them phone not switching back on after installing August ota update.
Or if not in warranty then try to install stock rom using qfil.

Unfortunately you have bricked your Mi A1

You have bricked your Mi A1, when you turned it off while installing/flashing the August update. Basically you should never turn a smartphone off, or disconnect the USB cable (if it is connected), while flashing its ROM.
There are various methods to unbrick it, I suggest you try this one since it's apparently not going into fast boot:
