[Q] [XOOM 2/MZ608-16] Won't boot/charge / bricked

Hello everyone.
I searched the whole forum and found similar threads with kinda the same problem - but no solution worked for me (or aswell none was stated).
My problem is that my Xoom 2 ME (MZ608-16) (Android 4.0.4) won't turn back on, doesn't light up the LED when charging and seems to be fully bricked.
I also tried to do those button-combo tricks but it had no use. I held those combos several times for a longer period.
But what I can tell is that the screen does a small short flash as if it would boot after holding the buttons POWER/LOCK + SOUND UP for a short time.
Holding those buttons even longer after the first not-easy-to-notice flash it rapidly happens again and again.
What caused this trouble was that I tried to flash the firmware after rooting.
First I stocked at a screen showed that some flash didn't worked out well (looks like fastboot mode).. that happend after trying to flash the recovery to do a proper backup before to do the-stuff-i-wished-to-do. It showes up every boot. Normal boot could be inizialized even though after entering the "control menu" via pressing VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER/LOCK on the same time and releae it.
After that I wished to fix it via flashing the whole firmware in hope the message would go away.. troublesome was that I used the wrong firmware for another Model than the MZ608.
And now I'm stocked.
You all helped me already a few times without me registering.
Now I hope you can help me ones again.
Thank you very much in advance.
Greetings

Edit 2013-05-08: Still no changes.
I request further help

You can put phone back into fastboot using factory cable method - see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077414
If the phone is bricked then you need to use omapflash to flash fastboot and then the image - see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242330

Updating to 4.3 error, no command, is my phone dead? :(

I literally just got the 4.3 OTA update. Phone was fully charged... like 98%. I went ahead and let it update. It rebooted, and it got about 75% into updating and then the icon switched to the sideways android with the red caution symbol and said "Error". I let it sit there for awhile hoping it would do something. It didn't, so I held down power to reboot. It rebooted to the same icon, but now says "No command". I did the vol up/power to get into the wipe/reboot options. I went ahead and rebooted. Every single time... I see the Google logo for like a min, then to the sad android logo w/ "No command". Now I can't even get that far, the indicator light flashes red. I've read that indicates a totally drained battery. Not sure how it can go from full charged to fully drained in a matter of minutes. However on the issue of the error and no command, is my device dead? I've never rooted it or used custom roms. I got the N4 for the pure vanilla stock experience, so I never felt rooting was needed. Any advice? Should I just call Google and request replacement?

I would try a few things first before calling Google. Sometimes the battery doesn't show its correct percentage, it's pretty common on my N4 as far as I can tell. Maybe you've just run out of battery. Let it charge for half an hour or so and then try it again.
If you can't boot to system after that, turn off your phone, press and hold volume down and power buttons at the same time for a few seconds until it boots to bootloader. If you can't boot to bootloader after doing this let it charge for more time, an hour or two.
Sometimes, after the battery has run dry completely it is really hard to turn the phone on (I've even seen this behavior on my 7 years old Nokia). One question, does a charging animation shows up when you plug your phone?

It's been charging now for a little over an hour. No animation or indication the battery may be drained other than the red indicator light when I try to go to into the boot loader. Still can't do anything. If I power it on, I see Google logo for awhile, then sad Android icon and "no command". If I try to go into bootloader, just red indicator light and black screen. All while plugged in.
I just don't understand how it went from fully charged to drained in minutes. It was plugged in for hours today. In fact I initiated the OTA update only about 20-30 min after taking it off the charger.

Unplug your device, press and hold the power and volume down buttons for a few seconds until it boots to the bootloader. Now plug your phone again and let it charge.

Alright, it's now been charging for 3 hours. I did what you just suggested. All that happens is I see a white Google logo for about 10 seconds, then it goes black. I think the device is off at this point. Stupid question I'm sure... I can't dock my phone to my computer to get any of my data at the "no command" screen can I? It needs to be fully booted, right?

Get into recovery, wipe cache, then it "should" boot.

Like I said above, I'm not able to. I hold down power + vol up and it just shows white Google logo then goes black.

Well hmmm. I just did power + vol down for the hell of it, and I have a menu. Selected "recovery mod" and it just went straight to the sad Android icon with "No command".
I'm not sure what to make of all the stuff I see on this menu...
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28754710/20130730_100302.jpg

Here is a short video of what I get from that menu when trying to go into recovery...

For the sake of simplicity, learn how to use Fastboot. You should find more than enough information in the General section.
All you need to do is run this command in bootloader mode.
Code:
fastboot format cache
Edit:
Just saw the video, press vol up + power together in the recovery to access the menu.

Again... like I said before vol up + power does nothing. I can take a video if you like.
Disregard the above. Got it into recovery. I guess my pushing was off or something. I took the rigid case off and made it easier to press the vol button. Let's see what happens now.

Alright. Got into recovery, did a wipe data/factory reset, still no dice. This time it rebooted several times, Google white logo each time, then finally a sad Android icon with "No command". Guessing next step is to download it and try updating via ADB?... or just say screw it and call Google and initiate a replacement?

Alright, it is screwed. Long guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
Short guide:
1. You need basically 3 things, the factory image, fastboot, and nexus 4 drivers
2. Download and setup all of them.
3. Extract the factory image tgz file TWICE until you see a folder.
4. Place "fastboot" into that folder.
5. Unlock your bootloader, shift + right click inside the folder, Open command window here. Run "fastboot oem unlock" and read the agreement (it's screwed anyway), select Yes if agree.
6. Once unlocked, run "flash-all".
7. Go running around your house for 10 mins.
Warning: This operation will wipe everything in your phone, if there's any crucial data, edit flash-all.bat to remove "-w" flag, and remove userdata.img in the occam zip.
Edit:
Or probably you can just get a toolkit...

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. I'm probably going to give this a try, couldn't get any worse. I think all data is gone anyhow when I did the factory reset option in the recovery, right? I did just call Google, they said I could get a replacement no problem, but that will probably take a week.

Yes, what he suggested should get you up and running again (if not, then yes your phone needs a replacement). I saw the video and the image. I'm pretty sure your system was wiped somehow and that's why you can't boot to it anymore. If what he suggested fails I can walk you through the steps to flash each factory image separately.

What would you do if the nexus 4 drivers wont install?
I have similar problem, I got the 4.3 update ota and it crashed half way through and now it gets stuck on the X logo. I was trying to follow a guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312) to install 4.3 back onto the device but failed at the first hurdle, when plugin the phone in it fails on the driver software installation - mtp usb device failed.
Is there any other way to do it?

unplug your phone. reboot into bootloader (vol down + power) but don't plug it in
downloaded the file posted in this topic from the google website.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44088784
once you download it, extract it to a folder
then open up flash_all.bat in notepad, and it will say -w near the end. remove that (leaving it would wipe all of your data) and save the file
then run it, it will say waiting for device. plug your phone in and it will start updating

Which driver did you try to install? Naked Drivers 0.72? What OS (Win8, Win7, etc)?
Plug your device in, go to control panel, click on Device Manager, scan for hardware changes or select the device with a yellow exclamation mark. Click on "Update driver" and search for the drivers in your PC (where you downloaded them). That should work.

Just Boot from a ubuntu live cd, install fastboot with apt-get and get started

HEY! I'm on the d801 as well and I've been where you're at a number of times, unfortunately. But I've always gotten out. Here's the conclusion I've reached. Trying to flash directly back to stock without wiping all the partitions first is what makes the RDTool get stuck. It's like the phone runs out of memory and can't host a full Gig+ of data since your last ROM is in the way. Sorry if I'm wrong but I'm only assuming you didn't wipe everything except the Internal storage. The good thing every time this has happened to me is that your recovery partition should be intact. Mine always is, and we're on the same variant. Another thing, booting back into recovery is not impossible. It's all in the timing it takes from the first time you see the LG logo while holding volume - and the power button, but don't let go. What worked for me was to let the phone cycle between off and boot power states twice until the phone is completely off again. You may even notice the LED indicator flash red. Release your keys if the phone stays off and immediately hold the combo down again until the phone tries to boot again just don't let go of the buttons. Once it powers down again, leave the phone alone for a few minutes. Come back and this time get ready to boot into recovery. The combo button press will initiate boot but don't let go until the next time you see the LG logo flash, then quickly release and depress the vol down power up combo and hold. May take a minute longer than usual but the reset menu should pop up thereafter. Tap power 2 more times and you should back into recovery. It's worked every time for me. Let me know if you're good and whether this helped!
Good Luck,

OK. So tell me, what ROM were you on, which recovery version and name are you using, why were you flashing back to stock, i.e. were you having problems, what kind. Explain as much as you can in detail. Need to retrace your exact steps to best get you fixed up!

i was using pa4.0 and wanted to go back to stock because i preffered the lg ui. i had twrp 2.6.3.5 i restored my back up of stock but when i rebooted i got into fastboot mode.
twrp wasnt working after i had restored my back up go straight to fastboot was stuck in fastboot until i found a thread explaining how to get out of fastboot and restore download mode.
managed to get download mode working and tried to flash stock with mobile support tool and got the 49 percent error,
my phone never really displayed any progress just says download mode with a white box and blue dots

K, now if you're only seeing the blue dots when you attach by USB your phone to PC, then you're not fully in DL mode to process the kdz. You should see a white wheel in the center of the screen when you connect and a viewing mirror near the base of your phone with ROOTED in red directly below that. And you're sure your PC is detecting your phone? You've the drivers installed? Because when RDT tells you to run the tool, you'll see some binary code in the viewing window I spoke of, the white wheel will turn and below it will be shown the COM port to which you're connected and a solid thin red bar will begin to fill a space in the viewer showing you the progress.
Also, be sure when attempting the first steps I gave you to boot into recovery that you are not USB connected. It won't work.
And, try to remember if your phone was well enough charged, should have been at least 80% full. It happened to me once that I couldn't boot recovery and my phone would go to fastboot like yours until I left it alone to charge and then I repeated the stepsvi laid out to get back into recovery. This part is paramount!

Please READ CAREFULLY
I used to be in your same situation. I thought I had bricked my phone for good. I finally figured it out. Here is my solution from my Thread.
Esteef said:
Okay, after 12+ hours of trying every method possible on XDA I finally resolved my issue. I will update the first post just incase any others care or fall into the same dilemma I was in.
The LG Mobile Support tool would not download the firmware and it would NOT ask me for my IMEI to download it either.
So my solution....
***
Installed LG Mobile Support Tool then Installed the LG Drivers. (FROM HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471370
BEFORE I connected the phone to the computer. I opened the LG Mobile support tool clicked (Options on the top right).
When the dropped down opened, I clicked the (Upgrade Recovery) option. THEN, is when the prompt opened to ask me what my IMEI is.
Before I entered my IMEI, I connected my phone to the computer in download mode, then proceeded to enter my IMEI and hit OK.
This is when the LG Mobile Support tool SUCCESSFULLY downloaded the latest official LG firmware and installed it.
*** BE AWARE, with the phone connected to the PC, the prompt NEVER appeared to enter my IMEI.
*** But with the phone disconnected, the prompt came up every time. This might be the trick for some people.
*** with the IMEI prompt opened, I then connected the phone , entered the IMEI, then hit OK. BOOM HERPES....
Well I'll polish this up more later. I hope this works for every LG G2 Variant and not just the T-Mobile one (D801)

Sounds good. A full charge can make all the difference. I learnt the hard way! One or more of us will be along should you need further help.
I do hope you get this sorted! I've come back from the brink too many times to not believe you won't.

brick problem, noob here, plz help

my problem is kind of abnormal. i couldnt find solution anywhere so i came here. my device was zenfone 5(t00f)/lollipop.
so i wanted to root my phone. i followed this guide >>
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/general/zenfonetoolkit3-24-40-87-t3406557
the tool i used is called ZenfoneToolkit_20160719, downloaded from here
HTML:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B0AFmAAcGS5xbWpTQzBQVTN3b1k
. its a bundle of .exe, .dll, .img, .bin files. but no need to work on them seperately, there is a simple cli tool from which you can choose what you want to do and it executes that file for you. below is the list what you can do.
1. Wipe Cache
2. Factory Reset
3. Flash Boot
4. Flash Recovery
5. Flash Fastboot
6. Flash Stock ROM
7. Root
8. Unroot
9. Unlock Bootloader
10. Relock Bootloader
11. Zenfone Rescue aka Debrick
12. Fixing Generic IMEI 004999010640000
13. Backup MicroSD
14. Flash Boretz Kernel Lollipop
so wiped cache[1] first then i tried to root[7]. sadly it didnt work, when i turned the phone on it took me to fastboot screen, there i had only a few options like, normal boot(doesnt happen), recovery mode, restart. when i turned it off and pressed power and volume up together it would go to recovery where none of the options works. i though that was what called brick, so followed this guide to make my life better

http://zenfone-blog.blogspot.com/2015/06/guide-how-to-unbrick-asus-zenfone-4-5-6.html
.
my phone by default came with kitkat. so when i downloaded the firmware i wanted to get a kitkat. but i couldnt find a matching recovery img and firmware for kitkat on asus official page. so i downloaded jellybean. ASUS ZenFone 5(T00F/T00J) software Image: V1.18.40.9 ww for firmware from here
HTML:
https://www.asus.com/support/Download/39/1/0/2/96nqlxHp1VKV4Rdz/32/
. and recovery img is 1.18.40.9_ww_recovery.img from here
HTML:
https://www.asuswebstorage.com/navigate/s/644D9E0A19714899974C75FC4B6C87EDY
. i dont know what "ww" means in those name but i saw it in my software version before so i went with it.
All the steps went smoothly, by the end of it i guessed my phone charge would be low so i put it in charge and turned it on. first time it turn on without a problem. i checked out a few things and leave it for charge. after a while i came back and battery was 0%. i thought i would be wise to plug out and in charging port again. as soon as i pull out the pin, screen instantly turned black and the phone went dead after a looooong ass vibration.
now when i try to charge the orenge light at top lights up but the animation that shows battery always show its empty. if i try to turn it on while plugged, it shows asus logo/intel logo and goes dead again. if i try to turn it on without being plugged, it shows a battery logo with a question mark, which i think means the phone cannot find battery.
i am stuck here.... plz someone be my savior.

Hello my dear, to get out of this problem I did the following: I connected the phone to compuador by USB cable (with himself off), then he calls and gets the question symbol, it held the power button plus volume up he must restart to get the logo asus about 4 seconds after loose the power button and continue with the volume button up insured. It should enter into fastboot mode there do the necessary procedures to reflash the system.
I hope you helped, hug!

S5e won't boot

I am at a loss here. After almost 2 years of working flawlessly, my s5e won't boot.
The screen got frozen while using anydesk, and had to force a restart (power button + up and fown volume buttons).
I can see the Samsung logo for less than a second, and then it switches off. Without touching anything, after some seconds the same thing happens.
I tried charching it and similar behaviour: i see charging circle for less than a second, and off again.
I AM AT A LOSS.
I managed to boot it pressing power+volume_up buttons and this is what i see (attached). It can stay like that for a long time so I guess battery and it's connection to the tablet are fine.
PLEASE ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY WELCOME
UPDATE:
I have tried MANY things in the 6 hours since I wrote this post. I am able to put the tablet in download mode and ODIN (and my PC) recognizes it. I am able to flash VBMETA but now TWRP (fail).
At some point the tablet rebooted in normal mode (why?) but got frozen again and had to reboot it.
Anyone can point me to how to recover it? I don't mind right now to loose what is in the internal memory.

Did you try to hard reboot (power_button + volume_down ) for more than 9 seconds.
If did not work then you may have to charge the phone? If its fully charged try to flash stock rom using Odin. When your device does not boot that means the stock firmware is corrupted and needs to be flashed again. That happened to me before and now my phone is working fine. Wanna know how to flash it? Look it up online!

I did try a hard reboot. Same result. I already rooted and installed a custom rom on it (first thing i did).
Twrp is installed but I'm unable to boot to it.
Any more ideas?

Listen up carefully. There is a truck to boot into recovery. When you hard reboot screen will turn black then show logo. While screen is
Black quick hold vol up button and power.
Worked on my galaxy a10. Tell meh the results bro

It just loads the screen attached in my first post.

Try flash via Odin, it still in download mode with this warning.

The tablet was still covered by warranty so I called the seller and they took it to a Samsung repair store. They replaced the motherboard, so I guess it was not recoverable.
The bad news is that they updated to android 11, I was quite happy with old 9.0 because I had TWRP and Magisk working.
Thank you for all that tried to help.
