Dear XDA friends,
i always hoped not to be one of those guys, who f****d up their phones to the point of no return. I really screwed up this time. Well, here I'am writing you about my screw up.
I unlocked, rooted, flashed and repaired all kinds of android phones in the past years, never without problems, but I could always fix it somehow. Not so much this time.
Now I'm stuck at Bootscreen with the Zuk logo. I even have problems pinging the phone via ADB.
Sorry for my noobish question guys. Any help would be much appreciated.

I got this translated from a chinese website:
For fastboot mode:
The phone turned off; keep the connection turned off the data cable to the computer, press: [volume down key] [Power Key] waiting to enter the fastboot mode.
For recovery:
Turn off the device
Press and hold Power key
When vibrates Volume UP key + Volume Down key about 10 seconds
Release all key when Android logo appear then you will see Android System Recovery
Use Volume key to select Menu
Use Power key to Confirm
Can you enter any of these 2 modes?

The bootloop is just showing the ''ZUK logo'' in the middle of screen and "'powered by Android logo'' below,and the phone vibrates everytime it flashes these logos. I tried QFIL but it can only detects the unit on the first boot or first flash that is 2 secs. only from the time i press the power button, and then it disconnects and not detect the unit again. Does anyone know where can i find the scatter file , MTK ROM for zuk z1, i would like to try the SP flasher tool. Or if anyone have any idea how to solve this issue on lenovo zuk z1,pls. help.tnx
Can y get to fastboot ?
im facing the same problem after i had the stupid idea to lock the bootloader again, before that i flashed the phone successfully with the cm mod recovery and cm 13.
Has anyone found a solution to this ? or do i have to send it back ?
What i did exactly :
I locked the bootloader again and just to test it i tried flashing the recovery again , ofcourse it didn't work which was what i wanted.
Afterwards i rebootet the bootloader with sudo fastboot -i 0x2b4c reboot
now im stuck in a bootloop that i cant even stop , in other words i cant turn my phone off nor can i access the recovery or fastboot
Im feeling so stupid that i locked it again .... i will try to get into recovery after my phone ran out of battery but so far it looks quite bad...does anyone know if i will get a replacement even though it was my fault ? ( i don't need to say that it was my fault ..and the bootloader is now locked again )
UPDATE::
I found a promising thread about this problem, i will report back here if i was successful.

Please help , same problem
I am facing same issue too from 2 days. I didnt even try to flash custom roms or play with boot loader or recovery or anything. All of a sudden my phone entered boot loop. After two three bootloops phone is entering "12 apps optimized of 230 apps" mode, completing optimizing all apps and then failing to start apps, entering boot loop again.
Effort made so far to fix -
1) Went to recovery and cleared cache - didnt work
2) Went to recovery and did factory reset - factory reset did happen but boot loop didnt stop, I realized that factory reset happened because now its saying optimizing 120 apps instead of my 230 apps during the bootloop.
3) Went to recovery, Entered fast boot mode but not able to connect to PC. Fastboot devices is not showing anything. I made sure proper driver is installed after researching on XDA.
4) Went to recovery, Tried "Install update". Didnt install anything but browsed through folder structure and realized my data is intact
It will be great if someone can help me atleast recover my data before I handover phone to service center for fixing boot loop issue.
Same problem

Sorry For Re-posting Here. This is Solution
Why this is happening ?
Due to Dirty Flash from Zui or from COS/CMOD but suddenly Bootloader gets locked
May be Due to Some Custom Rom which only works with Old Bootloader ( And you are on latest 2.5 Zui QPST Flash)
Reasons are many. I also did same mistake. I flashed ZUI 2.5 using QPST then unlock bootloader using official site installed twrp after wiping cache system and data , Installed Lineage 0S JAN Build then without rebooting installed Lineage Nightly build (Latest) with Gapps After rebooting Phone goes into Restart endless loop on ZUK Logo. Blink and Vibrate .. After 1hr I figured it out but its 5am So slept.
HOW TO FIX ENDLESS REBOOT ON ZUK Logo ?
-> Identity vibrate patterns (Press Power Key I count 6- 7 Vibration pattern ) After long Vibrate immediately remove finger from power key.
->Once its Done (Phone completely off)
Download QPST and Official COS QPST from this Link https://goo.gl/InWQji OR https://goo.gl/iqrnlI (I am personally Very Thankful to D tech Terminal for posting Wonderful video on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Dl6JkAVpuM
<- please install all drivers and software.->) @ankurpandeyvns Thanks bro.
Main Task is here and Lots of Patience is required and You also need to be very Blazing fast to achieve this.
-Once you download and install Qpst open Qfil
-Now press Volume Up only and connect USB (Just press POWER KEY only for 1 sec It will vibrate and connect)
-Without waiting hit Download button.
-Voila It will start flashing your phone again and Hence Your phone is now Revive..
-Once Revive You can use it to again flash custom Rom or stick to stock Rom if you want.
Keep Flashing !!!
Patience is Key here. And Don't lose hope.
:good:
EDITED:
While connecting to pc and by pressing Volume key you also need to press Power key for 1 sec or 2 sec until it gets detected. Thanks addicted777 (for tip)

can you provide videos how to stop boot loop ??????
Hey guys,
I feel totally stupid for writing this post but I'm actually out of ideas how to get out of my situation. Also I didn't find any comparable topic here on xda. So let's hope you can help me and a big thanks in advance!
First of all i have a flashed D802 running TWRP and CM13, which worked well the last weeks. I thought about updating to the todays nightly as it is already a few weaks since I did my last update. I downloaded the nightly via the CM downloader and started the installation with running phone. It rebooted into recovery mode and installed the nightly without any problems. After the installation was completed the phone automatically rebooted and this is where the problem starts.
I am stuck in "bootloop?" at the CM logo. It is not automatically restarting after a while but just loading and loading and nothing further happens. I am not able to enter the recovery mode via the factory reset (Pressing Vol Down + Power, releasing after the lg logo appears, pressing and holding the power button again).
This never happened to me and as I am not able to enter TWRP I am not able to install a previous release or a backup. What am I doing wrong this time and what can I do?
Thanks for your support!
have you tried flashing a stock rom?

Actually I don't really know how to do this when I'm not able to enter the recovery mode? Is there a certain way to do this?
In the meantime I managed to enter the recovery mode / TWRP via a mode I don't know how it is called. I pressed vol down + pw btn, released after the LG logo appeared and pressed vol up + vol down. I guess my userdata is deleted by now, which shouldn't be a big deal but I am getting redirected to the recovery mode. I tried to install the yet working CM13 nightly but it has the same problems now.
Now I have two questions:
Does anyone know which part of the system is broken now / which part I need to update in order to get my phone back to life?
Is the download mode working if my phone is rooted? I am able to enter this mode.

yes you can enter the download mode: turn down your phone, press and hold volume up button and connect the usb cable, release volume up when your screan shows dowload mode.
then follow this tutorial to restore your phone back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

Thanks! At least the phone is working at all now.
Recently my s IV just went nut,
It keep reboot and stuck in a samsung logo,
which is occasionally fine and all we have to do just to access recovery, BUT!
IT does not work,, i cant access recovery by pressing the button, and the bootloader is also restarting which is why i can't use ODIN at all.
*It can't access to TWRP/Recovery and the Bootloader (Vol Down) also got bootloop.
Any tips will be pleasured.
Sounds to me like the power button is stuck.
Try to get it unstuck.

tap the phone on a table or something hard where the power button is worked for me thats if it is power button:good::good:
I updated TWRP to 3.1.1.2 inside TWRP. The issue I encounter now is that my S8 stucks on the very first booting screen. You know the very first screen where it stated "Samsung Galaxy S8" and down below "powered by android".
I can't do anything. It's just like the phone has frozen at that state. Nothing works anymore. Even If I try to turn it off by pressing Volume down + Bixby + power button, it just restart and get stucks at the boot screen again and again. There's NO boot loop.
I'm on europe version of the Galaxy S8
stock rom and rooted (Magisk)
Got TWRP installed but after updating TWRP the phone freeze at the very first booting screen.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks for your efforts!
First of all - make sure you have the correct TWRP for your device. I know for myself that by searching google I got the S8+ twrp at first and flashed it by mistake without noticing.
Then try this-
Connect your device to a power socket (pc or wall, doesn't matter)
When you are on the very first screen, turn off the device by pressing Power + Volume down. Your device will shut down and you will see the charging animation.
Once you see it, disconnect the device from the USB and try one of the following:
Power + Volume up + Bixby for recovery mode
or
Power +Volume down + Bixby for download mode
I think the download mode will work, then just flash a stock rom or the correct recovery and try again
I failed right at the second step. Once I connect my S8 to power socket and tried to turn of the device by pressing Volume down + Power, the device turnt off for about 2 seconds and then reboot again to the very first screen. Even if my S8 is on power socket, I do not see the charging animation. So that is why I cannot continue with step 3.
Any Ideas buddy?
EDIT:
I got it enter the download mode
I downloaded the TWRP img from here https://eu.dl.twrp.me/dreamlte/
After enter the download mode, I flash TWRP via odin. It passed via Odin but my S8 doesn't enter TWRP but instead stuck at the very first boot screen.
Any ideas, buddy?
EDIT:
I've solved it myself. Thanks for your efforts!
I got the exact same problem but how did u do it please help me
Hi I just got the exact same problem as you but I cannot get how I would fix it please help???
Edit: I got it to download mode but I do nut understand how I would flash it
The only way around this I found was to Odin back to stock https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/development/rom-galaxy-s8-t3749444
Then follow the instructions to reinstall twrp using odin https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-s8-exynos-t3847712/post77735501#post77735501
Hey everyone,
so here's my situation:
I unlocked the bootloader for my G6
I activated USB debugging and OEM unlock in developer options
I then flashed TWRP 3.4.0-1
Now the phone is stuck on the boot screen, when I hard reset (power button + volume down, then pressing power button again when G6 logo appears, then selecting "factory reset" and "yes" twice) the phone does not boot into TWRP but instead goes to the boot logo again and nothing happens. I tried leaving it for a while and it stayed like this until the battery ran out. When I plug it in, it starts the same procedure immediately. When I connect it to my pc, I cannot manage to flash anything because I can't boot into bootloader because the phone is not detected (my pc doesn't play the usb plug-in/unplug sound).
So my question really is: Did I kill my G6 since I am unable to flash anything or is there still an option to get bootloader running again? And yes, I did try the unbrick method under https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/how-to/lg-g6-unbrick-method-t3935924 but I get stuck at the point where you need to click "download" because my phone is not detected. I also heard about the method of shorting the pins beneath the flash but I don't know how to do that...
Any help is appreciated.
Hi,
I had the same problem and finally solved it by using the release of TWRP found here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-twrp-3-1-x-stable-official.3627595/
After flashing TWRP I followed those restarting steps :
Hold vol down + power for 10 seconds and your phone will power off.
Hold vol down + power / release power when the LG logo appears and then immediately hold power until the Factory Menu start
Menu select Yes
Confirm Yes
TWRP boots
Hope this will help
Edit : A more recent version of TWRP compatible with LG G6 is available here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-twrp-v3-2-3-1-for-h870-h872-us997-unofficial.3828254/
