No. No. and none.
I weren't running any roms or anything, but i have tried to root it with z4root and gingerbreak (etc..) a million times...
Your best bet mate is to get into fastboot (should be doable since you're getting to the splash screen), flash a custom recovery and then a custom rom, although this does void your warranty, I think its worth it though. What android version was your phone on before the problems started?

if he installs stock rom and unroots then it should be fine and he will keep his warranty

I dont quiet know how to do that
I was on 2.3.5 have 2gen stock rom
how do i get into fastboot then?
To get clockworkmod on, so you can flash your stock rom, which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353526
Download fastboot and adb files, grab them either from the android website but through the sdk, or just Google adb and fastboot files and you'll be fine.
Then boot into fastboot by turning your phone on with the volume up button held down. It'll stay at the splash screen, connect to the PC and it should install drivers automatically.
Download the recovery image by googling clockworkmod zte blade. You want 5.0.2.0, it's the latest.
In the command prompt change directory to where your adb and fastboot files are. Then type 'fastboot flash recovery *nameofrecovery*.img'. Then 'fastboot reboot'. Power off the device after and boot into recovery by powering on with the volume down button held. Then flash your stock rom.
Hope this helps, i know it could be better but I'm at a BBQ so on my phone and can't link stuff easily, if you need more help, i can do it tonight. Others I'm sure will help too

Do u know any videos that can show me how to do it?
hi is it bricked or what?
hi all xda members, im new on this forum and i really don know were to post or something like that, sorry, and i have searched on every singel page in google and on a lots of forums, and i dont find anything that can help me with my problem..:crying:
So now to my poroblem, i have a zte blade II 2.3.6 gen3 un-rooted, i tryed but no luck... and now i think its really bricked...because i cant boot it at all, not in FTM, not in bootloader mode, not in recovery, the only thing i can boot it in is DFU but i cant flash from there, it is bricked or can this be fixed easily? Thanx in advanced guys!
ZTE Blade does not respond at all
My ZTE Blade does not respond at all.
I have tried to install the official update from android 2.1 - 2.2 using this official application from ZTE
( ztedevices official site -> downloads -> Greece -> smartphone ->Blade)
It stopped in the middle of the process and after that I cannot use neither Power&volume(+) nor Power+volume(-) nor Power.
It looks completely dead.
Battery is fully charged,
When connected to charger, back button does not get red.
When connected to computer does not show android logo.
I have copied gen1 to gen 2 image folder to sd... nothing
gen2 to gen 1 the same.
I have also tried the AIO-BLADE application no respond to any action.
I have been searching this forum and the internet for 2 days now. No one answers cases whith hardbricked phones.
I think the phone is out of warranty.
PLZ it is my only smartphone and there is no money for a replacement, I am unemployed.
:crying:
My provider is releasing an OTA in the coming weeks. If I purchase a new phone, can I somehow download the new OTA to my new phone, and run an update from the recovery menu of the broken phone? This phone cannot be unlocked at the moment.

Okay, RSDLite sees the phone, recovery is locked, and phone reboots after showing RW (Republic Wireless) logo, which is about 2-minutes after phone is powered on. I've tried adb wait-for-device, but nothing.
It's a XT557D Republic Wireless phone. It was officially released 2-months ago. No ROM available. I replaced the Phone.apk to brick the phone.

My last hope may have been removed! Here's a response from Republic Wireless on their OTA update, which I was hoping would replace my /system/app/Phone.apk that's causing my boot-loop on my XT557D:

Hi ...,
I received your help request and wanted to let you know that you won't be able to move the OTA install file. It will be downloaded to the memory of the device.

Would it be possible to download the digital keys that are used on this phone and sign an application to run update in stock recovery?

If I do this, I still won't be able to connect to Republic Wireless via WIFI, since they have a special ROM cooked that connects your phone to their network to update.

BLACK SCREEN. It looks as though it was going to flash successfully, but the M logo name came back. Now, it shows up at a modem device in my syslog of Linux. Guess I've totally bricked it now?

Nothing now. I forced me to manually power on the phone. I've noticed the flash model is different than the flash:
My phone: MSM7627
Flash file: MSM7227
Windows is requesting a USB driver for a modem.
No Charge LED when phone is plugged into AC.
Oh well. Didn't have high hopes this would work, but was worth the try.

F***... Different cpu.... Sorry friend, but blame only yourself, because you started bootloop with your bad Phone.apk....... & not maded CWM backup before modding I think now you can buy new XT530 or if you have warranty sent it for repair or try to tell moto & tell that it powered down itself while charging. The service will replace board or with defy xt530 phone, which is as I know low activity device, but if you bootloop it, you can reflash stock ics via RSD....

Hy Guys,
I have tryed to put the rom from Gionee Elife E7 on my Blu life pure XL. The installation occurs everything okay, but when i try to install the recovery, my phone reboot, and never more turn on again... I only can see the Gionee logo, but then shutdown after that. When i try to connect on the PC, just two drivers are showed to me:
-Gionee HS-USB Diagnostics (COM5)
-Qualcomm MMC Storage USB Device
I can enter in ADB mode, but i have no way to acess the internal storage...
Any help will be grateful...

when u installed the rom did the phone start up properly?
This look's bad man.
Try power on your phone then
Plugin into your computer.
Open adb then type adb devices
When your device is listed type adb reboot recovery
If IT doesn't boot in recovery mode then You should try flashing again the rom.
Something should work.

have you fixed it? perhaps i can help
if you've got fastboot (power + vol -)
you can fastboot (sort of like an adb) flash some system images and get your phone getting recognised by gnqc
you need :
ADB
boot.img from blu rom
system1.img from blu
right click on folder where adb and files are (they need to be on same folder for faster tipying)
write
fastboot flash system system1.img
fastboot boot boot.img
after that unplug phone, you need the drivers for blu, change cable from pc port and reconect to see if now it's recognized as a pure xl and check for the drivers.
It should install 2 com ports (hsusb, nmea) 1 adb, 1 modem and 1 storage
that is what i did to mine, hope it works on yours

tried that all it says is installation aborted .....
You have to to try this,that is how i have unbricked mine today.
power off your phone.
prepare your gnqc so you only have to press download when needed.
power on your phone then conect fast to PC ,then press download.
If IT doesen't leț You ,pres again and just try to see If IT works in different situations.
is a long shot but this is how i unbricked mine today.
fastboot doesen't work on this device,so You can't push anithing. i don't know hou this people are doing that.
If this metod doesn't work You shold try format system and data via adb . and after that gnqc should work.

He can't use GNQC because his phone's drivers arent insatlled, gionee blocks com ports, and fastboot does work on this device, you just got to flash it, i've been using it several times
A thing to notice is when you want to acces phone storage when phone is bricked You have to poweroff your phone and keep pressing power and volume+ untill some errors start appear in windows.
then You have acces to phone memory and You can paste anithing for later flash with recovery. You must Be very carefull not to format partition when asked !!!!!!
i have bricked my gionee 32 gb several times and always been albe to restore it so,no need to panic,some method should work for You too ,just have to find the right one.
And also,my phone is a rebrand of gionee from Romania,called Allview x1 xTreme,just like life pure Xl and i haven't encountered any problem with usb drivers, just used the one gionee provided. So this mai Be the case for You, i hope i am not wrong with this one.
Com ports are only closed in android 4.4 kitkat so If he didn't update he should Be able to use gnqc.
also You must observe that phone is recognised differently by windows deppending in wich state your phone is. powered off,recovery,or on bootloop. So that's why o have said that gnqc may work but You have to find that state when he is recognised the way that gnqc wants.
Sorry for long post i Hope those observations will help you.

This is not a how-to! I just want to inform everyone that our LG Nexus 5X has a download mode just like all other lg phones.
Instructions: 1.Plug USB cable into pc 2. Hold volume up and power at the same time and plug phone into usb that's already connected to your pc.
Like I said this is not a how-to so use Google and your brain to get the kdz or tot stock nexus 5X files and convert accordingly.
I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone but I hope this helps anyone out that was not aware. After all xda is all about sharing right ?

Well I got into it by pressing power and vol up after the phone took 5 minutes to boot back up after using a move to system an updated google play app.. Guess the move did not work. And had a hard time getting back into recovery to reflash a saved system image. But there is not much info on what else this mode is good for.. Something about not booting up the CPU but still able to flash? If so then those with problem N7 updates might be able to use this mode to clear the flash and upload a fresh firmware file to get their phones back in working order.
where we can find the official LG Nexus 5X kdz firmware or TOT? I mean not the one from XDA, but the official from LG. Tried searching but not yet found it.

Man, I'm in the boot loop nightmare and am hoping there's a tool from LG that can reflash recovery using download mode. I have tried every way I can find to do that through fastboot, but it won't work. Won't boot to recovery, which is why I want to flash one. It's probably hardware toasted (some research shows this is a problem on this and some other phones using same chip), but thought I'd try everything before giving up on it. It's 2 months out of warranty. :-\
stuck in bootloop
my phone nexus 5x. It is stuck in bootloop and i haven't activated the usb debugging. I have tried entering into download mode but still it not going into download mode. What should I do?

Nope. What kills me is these are still being sold by some carriers... knowing full well they are only good for a year+enough time to expire your warranty.
Model: LGMS5500, Lg Stylo 2 Plus (MetroPCS), Android Marshmallow 6.0.1
Here's my issue.
I recently rooted/installed TWRP for this phone, all was working well until one day the system started running extremely slow.
Pulling down the notification bar took about five seconds; it took about the same amount of time to turn the screen on/off.
I searched everywhere for fixes and tried every one to no avail, so I figured I'd do a factory reset.
After trying the factory reset from the settings app; all the phone did was reboot.
So I went into TWRP and reset/cleared data from there.
Now when the phone starts, it brings me to a screen saying "Encryption unsuccessful" and only gives me the option to reset my phone.
When I press this button, it just reboots to the same screen>
I can't get into TWRP because before all of this happened, I disabled USB debugging.
So I can't use my PC to get into recovery.
There's also no way to boot to recovery with just the hardware buttons; the only way to get to TWRP with this phone is either from apps on the phone itself or using ADB.
Am I S.O.L here? Am I going to need to buy a new phone? I'd rather not have to drop another $175 because of something this dumb.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
