Any clue how to get into? Vol- + power does not work
Hmmm... I was able to get into "USB Host Mode" by pressing Camera + Vol - + Power. This what you were looking for?
EDIT:: Be careful though I got stuck in a weird boot loop (probably because I'm an idiot).
Did not work as well - windows is not detecting phone when plugged in

I have managed to enter this USB Host Mode but it seems that the only way to make it work is OTG USB cable such as Nokia with USB Stick/SD Card reader attached with .nbh file on it.
Will try that in few days as my cable will arrive - I am curios do I need to make a Gold Card for it or ot - but as my phone is not branded I think there is no need to.
I had problems leaving USB Mode and I got some thrill moments but finally I have left with Vol- and Power kept for few seconds untill second vibrate.
I've managed to find a technique to enter the USB Bootloader Mode.
With phone switched on remove bottom cover (the cover over the SIM card). This will swtich the phone off. Then holding Vol+ & Vol- buttons, press the power button. Wait for phone to start and then release volume buttons. Phone displays:

For the HTC Radar (Omega), from an off state, I just pressed the power button together with Vol+ & Vol- ... and it went through.

Hey, I am from India. My Vibrant got Hard Bricked while flashing a Custom ROM. I sent my Phone for Repair to Texas, and now it is back at my friends place in Washington D.C.
Strangely, he said to me that when I ordered the phone through him about 3 months back, he said, that the Download Mode and Recovery Mode both worked on the Phone, and when the phone came to India and after using it for 2 weeks, I noticed that only the Download Mode worked and not the Recovery Mode at all.
Is it possible that any application had disabled the Recovery Mode during that period ?
Now, he says that after Repair, the Recovery Mode works on the phone and not the Download Mode. I have mailed him all possible combinations to make the Download Mode worked and are listed below in detail.
Are there any other Combinations than the ones mentioned below and any other suggestion than making a Jig and through ADB to get into the Download Mode?
Method 1:
Turn off the Phone.
Remove the Battery.
Remove the SIM Card.
Remove the SD Card.
Wait for 15 seconds.
Put only the Battery back in.
-Plug the Phone into the Computer with the USB Cable.
-Press and Hold the Volume Up and the Volumed Down Buttons simultaneously.
-Now Press the Power Button and once you get the Yellow Digger Download Icon let go of it.
-Unplug the USB Cable now from the Phone.
Method 2 :
Turn off the Phone.
Remove the Battery.
Remove the SIM Card.
Remove the SD Card.
Wait for 15 seconds.
Put only the Battery back in.
-Press the Volume Up Button and the Home Icon on the Touchpad simultaneously.
-Now Press the Power Button and once you get the Yellow Digger Download Icon let go of it.
(Also try using the Volume Down Button in this method if the Volume Up Button doesn't work.)
Method 3 :
Turn off the Phone.
Remove the Battery.
Remove the SIM Card.
Remove the SD Card.
Wait for 15 seconds.
Put only the Battery back in.
-Connect the USB Cable to the Phone and also the Computer.
-Wait till battery indicator is visible, and you can see the current charge in green.
-Press and Hold Volume Up and Volume Down Button.
-Press Power Button until the screen goes black, then let go of Power only.
-You should now see the Yellow Digger Download Icon and let go of all buttons.
-Unplug the USB Cable from the Phone now.
Method 4 :
Turn off the Phone.
Remove the Battery.
Remove the SIM Card.
Remove the SD Card.
Wait for 15 seconds.
Put only the Battery back in.
-Connect the USB Cable to the Computer only.
-Click and Open the "Odin.exe" that is attached to this mail and keep it running.
-Now Press and Hold the Volume Up and the Volume Down Buttons simultaneously.
-Now Plug in the USB Cable into your Phone.
-You should now see the Yellow Digger Download Icon and let go of all the buttons.
-Unplug the USB Cable from the Phone now.
(No need of pressing the Power Button here, but try it if this method doesn't work without it.)
Method 5 :
Turn off the Phone.
Remove the Battery.
Remove the SIM Card.
Remove the SD Card.
Wait for 15 seconds.
-Donot put the Battery back in.
-Plug the USB Cable into the Phone and Computer.
-Now Press and Hold the Volume Up and Volume Down Button simultaneously.
-Now while holding these Buttons, Put the Battery back in.
-You should now see the Yellow Digger Download Icon and let go of all the buttons.

Thanks for the quick reply.
But the problem is that Vibrant has no Support in India. And the last time I flashed something, I regret it, as it took about 1 month of hassle of shipping it to US and from there to Texas.
Hence, I am going to avoid flashing anything onto it till the time I gather $250 to change the Motherboard of the Vibrant to the one of the International Galaxy S I9000, as that has the support needed in India, in case of a Hard Brick.
Any other Button Combinations other than these will be of great help. Thank You.

I always just:
Have USB plugged into computer
USB is unplugged from phone
Hold volume up + volume down
Plug USB into phone
Hmm... okay, rather than re-read your OP, did you try:
on pc open newest version of ODIN (make sure it's the newest, noob guide has a link to it)
connect USB to PC (not phone)
Phone, take battery out... put it back in
press and hold both volume buttons.. make sure both are pressed in and held
plug in USB to phone (should already be connected to pc, with ODIN open)
Keep holding... a second or two passes....
Download mode?

would the Quickboot app work for you I wonder....
Hi,
While flashing the device got stuck and have to unplug..
now the device is not booting and black screen is displayed...I think the device is dead ... I tried all the option
- volume down + power button
- press power button for 20 - 30 sec
- remove battery for 24 hrs and put it back n try again to boot
but nothing work...
Is there any way to start my GS2 again?
Hold the volume down & home buttons tight & keep them held down. While you're holding them down, press the power button & keep pressing it until you see the start screen. When/if you do, release the power button but keep holding down the volume down & home buttons until you see the download mode screen.
If you can't get into download mode, your next best chance is to try a jig. If you can't get into download mode, I strongly suggest you order one from eBay post haste (search for "Samsung Galaxy S2 jig").
If the jig fails, it's back to Samsung/your telco for repair (probably at your cost given flashing non-Samsung firmware voids your warranty).
What happens when you hook it up to a charger ? And what happens when you hook it up to a PC via USB cable ?

What have you flashed?
Did you come as previous speakers have said in the download mode?
More Information please
I got a XT912 with a screen that stays black(don't know why, it looks fine). What i am trying to do, is to get into the fastboot mode without seeing anything so i can flash a stock rom via pc. Whatever combinations i try i only get it to reboot(it keeps saying "droooiiiidd"). I googled alot and i can't find a solution for this.
The reason why i want to flash a new rom is because i want to try if i can fix this screen issue and because the screen is locked and i can't get past that and use the phone(via otg and hdmi out).
How do i shut the phone down only using the keys(without restarting) and how do i start from a powered down mode into fastboot(step by step guide would be helpful).
Ensure phone is completely powered off (also, fully charged). Vol down + Power (vol down first). Release power button after 3-5 seconds, and then release vol down. You are now in fastboot. Connect usb, and your computer should identify the phone.

What about selecting fastboot first? Isn't there some kind of menu i get into after doing that(at least i know there should be one)? Where i have to scroll down and select fastboot.
Holding vol up and vol down will bring you to the boot menu. Vol down is directly to fastboot mode.

Can i somehow shut it down with the keys? I don't know why, but whatever i try it keeps rebooting only.
Press and hold both vol buttons and the power button for six to ten seconds. Then release all three. That is a manual reboot. A working screen will briefly flash. If you try to boot to the main boot menu, with vol +/-, and power, AP Fastboot is the third option. Press vol down twice to highlight ap fastboot, vol up once to select it. This also takes you to AP Fastboot mode, as opposed to the vol down and power, which is direct.

Thats what i tried just now, i pressed vol+/- and power to reboot. Soon after i pressed again vol+/- and power and waited for like 10 sec, then i pressed vol - 3 times and then vol + and all he did was reboot again damn. Is my timing wrong? 3 times down is wrong i guess if i start from position 1. Just as a reminder i can't see anything.
Volume down twice to highlight AP fastboot, up once to select. Also, you want the phone to be completely off to boot into fastboot mode. There is no way to REboot into the boot menu

What i did now is open the back, disconnect the battery and connect it again, use vol down button + power button for ten sec and then plug it into the computer. Nothing happens, atleast not on the computer, the phone shows a white light in the top left corner. It stays on even if i disconnect the cable.
Holding for that long can cause a reboot. Try holding the vol down and power for like... three seconds, after reconnecting the battery. Also, are you using an OEM motorola cable? And, have you ever used RSDlite? Have you prepared for flashing with the appropriate fastboot sbf files? Once the computer recognizes the phone, you'll want to have the motorola drivers installed, RSDlite ready, and the right sbf file ready.\
EDIT
Even if you do access the fastboot menu, if the phone believes the battery is too low, it will not allow the pc and phone to connect. The screen should say:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
0A.77
eMMC Info: Size 16G
To return to normal mode- first press power key to power down
Device is LOCKED. Status code: 0
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
I realize that your screen isn't displaying anything, but this menu is what will restrict you from flashing if the battery is low. Instead of Battery OK, it will say Low Battery

I know how to use rsdlite, because i flashed my xt910 with it. The battery could be a problem. I have it fully charged and will try it again now, but if that doesn't work i propably need a factory cable. I think i made it into the fastboot mode in previous tries but got stuck because of the battery status.
Edit: Reconnecting the battery and getting into fastboot mode seems to work, but connecting the cable gives me the white light and nothing else works.
So your computer is still not recognizing the phone, even when it seems to be in fastboot?

Yep, no reaction from the os and nothing listed in adb devices or fastboot devices.
Assuming the battery power is adequate, the next and only solution is the proper data cable (OEM).
If the battery is low, you'll need to either use a TBH factory data cable, or the workaround of hard wiring a stripped usb cable screwed to the battery terminals on the phone. Once the phone identifies a good power source, it will allow a pc connection.

EDIT
BP SBF Flash is the fourth option down, out of seven total, I believe. If you can boot to the main boot menu, and click vol down 3 times, you'll select this option. As I recall, I was able to confirm my phone, usb cable, and pc were all communicating. My *pc identified an unknown device being connected, even with a nearly dead battery. Then I knew I just needed a power supply. I'm not sure what this option is for, but it told me what I needed to know.

Ok i will try that until i get one of these cables or adapters.
Is it possible to use adb via recovery or do i need a custom recovery for that? I am not sure if i need to unlock the bootloader via motorola( have to use fastboot for unlock), that would as far as i know reset the stock rom(if i need a custom rom).
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:
use flashtool and flash stock ftf.
connect phone with usb cable when flashtool prompt to connect the phone

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
I tried to root my phone by magisk.
After flashing a patched boot.img, it's failed to boot into system and I got a message that "the device need factory reset". I clicked yes and everything seems ok,I can boot into system. Then I tried to flash img again. So I boot into bootloader. Unfortunately, this time I got a black screen. The phone doesn't response me anymore.
I tried the software repair in xperia companion but It cannot dected my phone when I hold on volume down and plugged in it. I also tried hold on volume up + power but nothing happened. Hold on power key also no response. The led light always black, only become red when I connect it to my pc.
What should I so now and what's my phone's status? I searched something about 9008 mode and edl but I don't know how to check whether my phone is really turn into that status, my pc cannot dect my phone.
Have the same problem, only with the 5 iii instead. Still looking for a fix.
Try to switch the phone off; then just plug it into your PC without holding the Vol- key. It has happenned a couple of times with me that the phone does not want to boot up, with attempts to get it into FLASH mode by holding the key down throwing more confusion into the mix.
I think there is a low battery protection. Make sure the phone is charged up. Keeps the device from death during a flash.
Red led mean a very low battery. Keep it plugged (not to PC but to power adapter) for 2-3 hours and then try again a force reset.
Never, never try flash or other stuff under 50% battery
Also force restart is keep pressed vol+ and power button (or vol- and power button) till you fell a vibration.
Try this after a good charge

It might require experimenting with service modes and different chargers. I had an early Xperia 1 III that bootlooped while charging after setting up the fingerprint reader. It seems that charging is disabled during booting. It has to finish or enter a service/fault mode.
my phone is having this after doing fastboot --slot=b reboot recovery (which actually I had to do fastboot --set-slot=b and then fastboot reboot recovery). the notification light blinks red. have tried vol up + power, vol down + power, and vol up + down + power for like 30 seconds and nothing

I feel sorry for you brother...such a nice device...OK let's talk what happened, the state now your device is in is called hardbrick and it had a corrupted bootloader or no boot loader, but your device is still alive, in your PC in device manager it lists as Qs USB mode with some number after it like qsusb9008...now this device can only be brought to life with the help of a blankflash file which can flash your boot loader in snapdragon service mode...actually no snapdragon can be hardbricked permanently now you need appropriate blankflash file for your device.. Please don't open the device if some repairmen suggests to do JTAG nothing is necessary all you need is blankflash file which is shared to only Sony testers groups.... Who tests ROMs before release and they hardbrick so they share those files to them.... Please don't loose hope....it takes time but certainly it can be bought back to life... And dont try any flashing utility as there is no functional boot loader on it now and nothing will work...Sony won't provide that for sure and they will say then can only solve by mother board replacement ,don't believe therm your device is perfect it only needs blankflash file as it entered into final safe mode... I ain't regular on XDA if you need any info contact me via my mail [email protected] g ma I'll .com
Have any of you tried this - https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool/download-flash-tool/
