Hey guys. So, I've had my DNA unlocked, rooted, and had a ROM on it for a while. The SuperHatka ROM I believe it was. I updated to the newest version to update the entire phone with the new OTA update the other day. Tonight I had the bright idea to wipe my phone completely since it didn't do it the first time. Well, I erased literally everything. Now the phone is stuck on the white "HTC quietly brilliant" screen. I can't get it to power off, reboot, etc. It won't be recognized in ADB like it was previously. Can anyone give me step by step instructions on what to do? Please.

Press and hold the power button for approx 15 seconds. Your capacitive buttons should blink and eventually your screen will go black as its powered down. Continue to hold the power button and the vol down key and it should boot into bootloader, from there scroll to recovery via vol keys, press power and it'll boot into recovery. If its a newer recovery it should support adb sideload in which you can adb push a Rom to /sdcard. If not then while in fastboot usb mode you can fastboot flash recovery a newer version of twrp or cwm then adb push in recovery.

Like he said. Press buttons, boot into boot loader, recovery, then you do not need to side load. just do the adb push to your sdcard and flash. sideload is a different command.

I've been in that black hole several times, frozen for various reasons-usually of my own making. I would only add that the time it takes holding in the power button once the icons start flashing at the bottom of the phone varies GREATLY...from a few seconds to several episodes of trying it-bottom line is it will eventually do it. If you have backups you can wipe everything and restore one of them and you will be back up running.
Reviving a dead thread. I have the same issue but when I flash a recovery in fastboot and try to boot to the recovery is shows the recovery splash screen then restarts.

Boot into the bootloader put it in fastboot plug it into your pc. Open a command window where your fastboot and ADB files are and then type
fastboot erase cache
Hit enter
And then flash the recovery and you should be able to boot into it.

So, my Maxx suffered a power button failure and I should be receiving my warranty replacement from VZW sometime in the next day or two. Other than the power button not working, the phone is functioning fine. It reboots, runs normally, functions perfectly. I'm running .215 rooted and I want to return the phone back to stock before shipping it back. Problem is I can't access Boot Loader, no matter what I try. It's like it's not there anymore and when I command the phone into it using quick boot, adb, or the built-in menu, the phone just power cycles off. Let me try to explain:
I have Quick Boot installed and I can use it to boot into recovery without a problem. If I try to boot into Boot Loader, the phones powers off and stays off.
I've tried adb shell with the same results. I can connect to my PC and command the phone using shell commands but usin the 'adb reboot bootloader' command results in the same thing: phone power cycles off and stays off.
Even though my power button is AFU, I figured out I can still access the main recovery menu (the vol down to choose, vol up to select one) by holding down the vol up/down and plugging the phone into a charger. Same thing: power cycles off and stays off.
* Funny thing is although my power button doesn't work, I can still soft reset the phone by holding the power button in and vol down - which is what I need to do to exit recovery or other menus I need to input to a prompt using the power button.
Anyone know of this happening? MY guess is since my phone starts and functions normally otherwise, the boot loader is still there in some form. I just don't know how to access it. Any help would be much appreciated.
I can confirm this app will reboot bootloader

Thanks Dave but not for me. Same result: phone power cycles off and just stays off when selecting reboot bootloader.

If there is no bootloader you won't be able to start your phone at all as its THAT what basically boots the whole hardware and software....
How about adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot recovery commands ?

The bootloader being the phone's "bios" is kind of how I understood it so I'm figuring it's still gotta be there. I just can't seem to access it or get to the "device/battery OK, device disconnceted" menu. I tried adb reboot bootloader and got the same results: power cycle to off and stays off. adb reboot recovery works fine.
Knowing this phone is going to be turned back in, is there any other way I could re-install .211 without having access to the bootloader screen?

Try the eternity project flasher or the motorola's rds lite if they will be able to put the phone to the flash mode as they do that automatically...

I posted a thread over at DroidRAZR.com and got some good feedback and troubleshooting help. It looks like the bottom line is the power button failed in the 'on' postion. One of the folks that replied to the DR thread caused his device to show the same 'AP Fastboot power-off' that I was getting by entering the 'Boot Mode Selection Menu' and holding the power button down while he vol+ to select AP Fastboot. It caused me to look a little closer at what the device was doing and that seems to be exactly what's going on - I powered th phone down using the Quick Boot app and was able to soft reset by holding down the vol- key by itself (didn't need to press power in conjunction). After it SR and i released the vol- key, the device rebooted by itself.
For your info, that thread is here: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/3782-cant-access-boot-loader-menu-no-matter-what/
I tried working a thin piece of paper in around the button but no luck there.
I just unlocked my bootloader and flashed CWMT recovery but whenever I try to boot into recovery the phone simply boots back into the factory Rom. I've tried turning off fastboot in the Rom settings but that didn't seem to help... Any ideas?
Edit: alright I can boot into recovery but it's under factory reset for some reason.adb Reboot recovery doesn't work.
Turn off fastboot. In settings.

Did you try to manually go into recovery?
- turn off phone
-press and hold volume down then press power button until the phone boots into bootloader
- use volume buttons to scroll down to recovery,
- tap power button to select recovery
and it should boot into your custom recovery

That's when it happens. I'll try manually booting into recovery, but it just ends up booting normally.

I've tried both restarting in bootloader and powering down and turning the phone back on in bootloader. Both times, from the bootloader menu, when I select recovery it goes the the 'htc' screen with 'entering recovery' at the top for about 7 seconds then goes black and boots normally.

when you select recovery and it goes to the white htc screen, at the very top does it say.. "entering recovery" ?
If not, you might try using fastboot to push a custom recovery to your phone again...
If it kicks you out of recovery as it boots into it, go into the bootloader, fastboot, and run 'fastboot erase cache' on the computer. Of course, ADB has to be setup first before running that command. I've had this happen to me a few times already, and 'fastboot erase cache' always made it work again.
Hi I need help.
After Flashin a new ROM it was not be possible to get in the fastboot mode. Pressing down the Power button and the Vol Down button start first the recovery mode than i see for a sec a CWM Screen an than the screen is black and nothing happend.
And as addon the device not boot. Sometimes i get a reboot
Any ideas how I can fix that? Is there a more low level solution?
Thanks,

OK, with testing I found a solution for the problem
Here the steps what i've done:
1. Load the Flyer with the power supply unit.
2. From PC Commandpromt. Start fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. I've get the message "waiting for devices". I've used a old CWM 4 reciovery Image
3. Now connect the Flyer and Start with "Power + Down". Here was the surprise that now the Bootloop stops and i see now the Boot Menu. So I change here to fastboot and flash the recovery Image new.
4 Rebbot now an voila bo boot more and I can use the normal cwm recovery mechanism to recovery one of my old images... Perfekt
basucally flashed a rom and it went bad and my phone wont boot, i can only get it into fastboot but plugging it in and holding volume up and i have no power button, so i cant select boot into recovery, is there any way i can through the cmd?
*edit*
I figured out how to boot to recovery, download a recovery img, and in fastboot cmd you go
Fastboot flash recovery_image_name.IMG
Then
Fastboot boot recovery_image_name.IMG

Depends on which version of the official software/firmware you had installed. You might check out this:

If you were on a KK set up then that recovery won't work.

all i want to know is, when im in fastboot is there some kind of command line or any other way i can select recovery mode besides the power button? my power button is broken, and i cant turn on my phone to reboot into recovery due to me soft bricking it.

So when you turn it off, leave it set there for a bit (guess you would have to let it die at this point...), and hold Volume Up and plug in the USB cable to the PC - you don't get into Download Mode? But as far as booting to recovery without the power button and not able to boot into the OS...I can't think of a way. There are no fastboot commands to get to recovery and without it booting to anything but fastboot, there is no way to utilize adb commands either.
Hi,
I know this has been covered thoroughly, but I have a particular problem that I haven't been able to find a solution for.
I have the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Prime, MIUI 6. I'm trying to boot into recovery mode either one of two ways: holding down volume up + power, or going through the 'Update' app options. Both times, the same thing happens: The phone starts up with the Mi logo, hangs for about 20 ish seconds, reboots as normal. It doesn't at any stage enter recovery mode. Holding down volume down + power takes me to Fastboot, but it hangs on the fastboot screen infinitely..
Any thoughts?
Chris
are you want to flash something ? try flash with updater app, rename zip file you want to flash to update.zip, and do flash with updater. its will enter recovery mode and flah zip file

I have tried that, same thing happens.
To clarify, whenever I try to enter recovery mode, the phone starts up, vibrates, Mi logo appears, hangs for about 10-15 seconds, turns off, turns on, vibrates, Mi logo appears, "Powered by Android" appears, phone starts up normal.

Hmm I will try to install that app. Right now the phone wont get past the boot screen, it is just hanging on the Mi logo and Powered by Android.

Try to flash the stock recovery.
Then you should be able to boot into stock recovery and wipe all data.
After that the phone should boot.
At least that worked for me
facicing same problem

If you have rooted phone, try to flash recovery (TWRP) over terminal, with dd.
You have trashed the recovery partition. Reboot in fastboot mode (Vol- + PWR) and reflash TWRP.img via fastboot on a PC.
Command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Rename the twrp.img to recovery.img or change the name used in the command. There are plenty of tutorials out there on how to use fastboot.
Do not let the phone boot up after flashing!!!! You will end up back with the same problem. Hold down Vol+ to boot into Recovery mode for the first time.
