Hi,
after a Rom update (LIONAGEOS) my LeMax2 was boot-looping in Fastboot mode. I was able to switch to TWRP recovery, however OTP storage was not mountable. Back in fastboot I pressed power + Vol up and Vol down. Since then phone would not reboot at all. No activity when connecting to USB cable, nothing. Any idea if there is a chance to wake up the phone back to live?
Thanskd for any advice.

Hi rompip,
Can you reboot the terminal in fastboot mode : "vol -" and "power" for 5-10 sec ?
Do you have battery ?
When you plug it in charge, does it work ?
Best regards.
Max.
Keep in mind that if your phone goes by itself in the QDLoader mode, it’s better to try some combinations below:
1) Keep the power button pressed for about 2 minutes, or
2) Keep the power button + Vol up pressed for about 2 minutes, or
3) Keep the power button while connecting the phone to a wall charger, or
4) Bring the phone into a bright light and press the power button (or power button + Vol up) for about 2 minutes, or
5) Keep the phone charging for more than 24 hours and repeat all the steps above.

Hi AhmadSant,
thanks, long Power pressing (approx. 1 minute) worked for me!!! Do you have any advice how to get rid of the Fastboot bootloop? I can enter into recovery, would I need to perform a full wipe?
Thanks again for your assistance.

I think that the easy way to get rid of all that problem is to unbrick it and go back to stock ROM. Here

Try to reinsert battery. Hold Vol+ and Power. You will boot into recovery. Try wipe cache and dalvik.

Strange. Insert battery, hold vol+, keep pressed power button until first vibration, then release power and keep Vol+ button pressed.
If you can not get into recovery, you will need to flash your phone from BB , via flashtool.

Hi Guys,
anyone know if there is a reset button/battery pull simulation button on Redmi 3?, just wondering what to do if on the worst day i need to do some kind of battery pull when the OS crashes/bootloop.
Power on + Volume up. When screen on release both then press multiple times volume up button. Enter than you will know how to do!
Blue button / line = shutdown

Just Press "Download" to start flash with MiFlash or do something more with English by press the title next to "Download"
For crashes, press power button 10+ seconds and it reboots. (Works in every ARM Android device i've tested.)
EDIT: I lost all my data since the phone was encrypted, but I recovered it flashing in fastboot mode
My Redmi 3 pro is stuck in a bootloader after trying to root it for the first time.
power off doesn't do anything.
power and volume up doesn't do anything
power and volume down shows a Fastboot logo with a cartoon, but I don't know what to do here and if it is useful.
After 1-2 minutes in fastboot logo it starts again in bootloop.
I think soon the battery will drain and the phone switch off
I really don't know what to do

Yeah, thank you.
I eventually managed to force shut down the device holding power and volum up, down the three togheter for long time.
Then I flashed Miu again and rooted.
Now I can't manage to encrypt, so still not satisfied
I accidentally restore a backup (of my previous Z2 which was on my sd card through TWRP) on my Z2 on Exsistenz LP ROM yesterday. After that phone wont boot. Battery was .70% at the time of death. Red blinking led is seen when connected to usb cable. POWER + VOL UP doesn't give 3 vibes as intended, in fact nothing. Neither red hard reset button(Tried pressing it for >3mins). Cannot enter flash mode or fast boot modes .(tried to flash stock ROM through flash tool-failed). Only red blinking LED appears when usb cable connected.
Wierd to found when I press hard reset button while pressing POWER button it gives 3 vibes. But nothing changed.
Tried "pressing and holding all 3 buttons (power,vol+and vol-) all at the same time till it vibrates once then let go of the power button and vol+ but keep holding vol - while plugging in the usb cable this MiGHT boot your phone into flash mode" But didn't vibrate while holding all 3 buttons.
Its out of warranty period as well.
Please help me to recover to recover??? :crying:

Something similar happened to me recently...wonder if this is a bug in a new release or something
This is what I did.
If you can't turn off phone, turn it off using the hard reset button http://sony-xperia.mobi/eng/sony-xperia-z2/231-how-to-do-a-hard-reset-and-reboot-a-sony-xperia-z2-physical-hard-reset-button-sony-xperia-z2.html
There's a really good guide on bricked z2 somewhere on xda but I can't find it anymore . What it said was useflashtools and flash and old ftf e.g. 4.4.4 or 4.4.2 and make sure to wipe apps_log and user_data in settings.
This might also help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170

If you restored another XZ2 with LOCKED BOOTLOADER's backup you probably killed your phone.
Was your bootloader unlocked?
Restoring anothers TA partition kills your device because drm keys are uniq
so after installing the latest twrp using twrp app; I tried to boot into recovery and my phone is just stuck on fastboot. I'm not able to turn phone off. Tried different solutions but nothing seems to help. the only command to work is reboot booloader which takes me to the same screen. after searching these threads I have not found anyone with this phone having that issue. any help would be appreciated.
fyi tried 3 different cables, 2 different computers lol.
I discovered that if you hold Volume + and Power while on any screen until it turns off and on and off and on and off again, you can boot in to recovery. (Before I had to take apart the phone and remove the battery lol) Just hold these two buttons for about 25 seconds and eventually it will boot in to twrp/stock recovery
Easier way I think.. .. . Hold power and volume up buttons until end of the second vibration, then release power. After you see the recovery screen - then you can release volume up.

battery finally drained. I tried the volume down + power, released when it vibrates but doesn't get me to recovery. I'm gonna charge it for about 2 minutes and try it again. at least I don't have to worry about this damn thing exploding and setting my place on fire while I'm gone lol.
update: so I tried again and as soon as plug the phone to charge it goes in to fastboot. tried volume down and power. release when it vibrates and it wont get to recovery. I also found a stock file somewhere b322 or 320. put it on a dload folder and did the 3 button trick and nothing either. time to trash this damn thing I guess lol.
Volume UP + power - go back and read my last post carefully for how to get to recovery.

so ok, I tried volume up + power and nothing. phone is on fastboot wont turn off. it restarts but wont stay off.
From your PC folder where you should have a copy of fastboot.exe and put a copy TWRP.img file for the phone:
> fastboot boot TWRP.img
Then if that works, you should be able to turn it off from the TWRP menu - and maybe you need to reflash TWRP if you have not done so yet.

My friend was just stuck at the fastboot screen for hours now and he gave up. I grabbed the phone and held all the buttons, vol up + down + power and when it vibrated I let go of the volume buttons and kept the power till the logo came up then let go and it booted up normally. Not sure why after hrs of trying to figure it out that this worked and I never read to do that. Just wanted to share in case anyone has a phone stuck. I flashed different versions of twrp an could not get into recovery at all.
I just put my phone in fastboot/bootloader mode, then held the power button in until the phone vibrated, then released the power button - after that the phone booted up to normal mode.

Oh ok good to know. Maybe me holding the volumes buttons did nothing so I had basically did what you did since I did let go of the power button right after.
Seems that way, and it's easy enough for you to confirm his phone works the same way just to be sure.

Long story short, I tried reverting from LineageOS 20.0 to 19.1. I successfully was able to revert back to stock using the MSM Tool, and started the process of installing LOS 19.1. Although I downloaded the LOS 19.1 installation files (lineage-19.1-20230426), I think I screwed up because I had started following the installation instructions for 20.0. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed dtbo.img and vendor_boot.img, then flashed boot.img (all under lineage-19.1-20230426). I then booted up LineageOS's recovery but had issues sideloading lineage-19.1-20230426-nightly-dre-signed.zip, so I loaded the image onto an SD card instead and sideloaded it that way.
My device restarted, however it won't boot past the "1+ Powered by Android" screen. I'm unable to boot into recovery or fastboot mode using the power and volume keys - only the "1+ Powered by Android" screen is displayed. While the device is powered off, I've tried holding tried down Vol Down + Power, then releasing Power once the OnePlus screen appears, Vol Up + Power, and Vol Up/Down + Power. Every variation, I only get the 1+ screen. I should also note that while on this screen, it's not recognized by ADB or Fastboot. The only option I have it to power it off by holding Vol Up/Down + Power.
I'm trying to get into EDL mode so that I can use the MSM tool once again, but it doesn't seem to be recognized. While the phone is powered off, I've tried holding Vol Up/Down + then power, but it immediately goes to the 1+ screen. The device seems to power on as soon as the USB cable is connected, so I've also tried Vol Up/Down then plugging in the USB cable. Same result.
Any recommendations or suggestions would be helpful.
I had been trying to get this thing to boot into EDL mode last night and a good chunk of today, and literally 5 minutes after I posted this, I got it to boot into EDL mode.
For anyone wondering, while at the "1+ Powered by Android" screen, I was able to get into EDL mode by holding down Vol Up/Down & Power, then once the screen shut off, I began tapping the Vol Up button several times. I knew this time was different because it didn't reboot to the 1+ screen, but the screen remained off (black). And for those who aren't aware, the screen is off while in EDL mode so there's no way (at least that I know) to tell it's in EDL mode other than it being detected by the MSM tool.
in trying to convert DE2118 to DE2117 i literary entered EDL mode like 5-6 times. (A11 wouldnt flash, A12 wouldnt boot, Lineage20 wouldnt boot, When downgraded A12 to A11 it would revert back to DE2118 rather than staying on DE2117, so on so forth). Everytime solution was so simple, hold Vol UP Vol Down and POWER button till screen goes OFF. Keep holding Vol up and Vol down and plug in USB C that puts device in EDL mode in less than 5 Seconds. This is fail proof method for anyone to enter EDL method as far as I have learnt.

Yeah, this was one of the first methods I tried, and it didn't work for me. I don't think it would make a difference but I have the DE117 and not the DE118.

Phone off
Phone disconnected from PC
Open mstool
Hold volume up and down same time
Connect phone to PC while holding both bottoms
Release volume bottoms at same time after 5 seconds
You will see phone connected in mstool
That's it
