I was attempting to root my phone, XT2113-2. Last time I did this was on a Note4 many years ago and I thought I could do it again but it's proving to be a difficult task. I got the bootloader unlocked but in an effort to install TWRP, I somehow disabled the ability to boot into recovery. I can get to the fastboot menu (power + vol down) but when I select the option to go into recovery, the phone would just boot normally. I did the usual searches online but didn't find anything and as a last ditch effort, I did a factory reset through the Settings menu. Now the phone is stuck in a bootloop: A message about the bootloader being unlocked appears, followed by the Motorola logo and then it repeats. I can get into fastboot but that's it. And to make matters worse, since I did the reset, I can't go in to turn on USB debugging.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

My phone restarted one day and just wouldn't boot up. At first it was just stuck on the SAMSUNG logo, but after trying to boot into recovery, it now sits at the boot animation. When I try to boot into recovery, the CWM screen will come up, but no menu will show up, and then the phone will restart after a few minutes and go back to being stuck on the boot animation.
I can enter Download Mode, but USB Debugging must be disabled since ADB won't recognize the device and I can't send any commands (yes, drivers are installed).
First of all, is there any way I can recover the data on the phone? That is more important than getting the phone working, since I was just about ready to get a new phone anyway.
What can I do to get the phone working? Everything involving flashing a new kernel, or resetting the phone back to factory seem to require a working recovery or the ability to send commands through ADB, but I'm probably missing something, since there must something else that I can do.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
**Not sure if this is related or not, but the reason why the phone restarted before this issue occurred is because the power button on the phone is a bit faulty. Over the past couple months I've been having issues with the power button; it seems overly sensitive so when I push it sometimes the screen will turn on and off and other times the phone will just restart as if I held the button down for too long. This is the main reason why I was ready to get a new phone.
LG Escape running 4.1.2
here is the progression of events:
1. rooted device
2. root seemed successful and no malfunctions
3. backed up all apps and system data with Titanium backup
4. the lg escape has no way to unlock the bootloader, so I tried various other methods. one of which was entering recovery mode via terminal commands. this is basically a hard reset, and it wiped all my data
5. I restored all my apps and data from my external sd card with titanium
My best guess is this is where something went wrong
6. upon restoration it prompted me to reboot the device
7. reboot passes manufacturer logo, but resets when AT$T logo appears
8. as stated earlier, there is no way to enter recovery mode during boot.
9. there is a hard reset during boot, but mine will not work, as it requires touching buttons which do not seem to be active in my stage of the boot sequence
so, I understand this does NOT mean my phone is bricked, but I don't know how else to get it to boot back up, or what is even causing the boot loop, as I DO NOT HAVE ANY CUSTOM ROMS flashed. any help here is very appreciated!
EDIT: so I have attempted to use adb on my pc to reboot into recovery from there, but it occurred to me that while I was in recovery the first time, I never checked "usb debugging". as a result my adb console commands cant even see my device. any way to turn on usb debugging while locked in a boot loop?
also, I can get it to enter download mode. I was hoping I could just reflash the firmware to it without needing to enable usb debugging, but have no clue how to do that while locked out of the phone.
I realize this is a very specialized set of questions, but it is necessary to ask here as the most people will see it. im open to any ideas

i have now tried to flash the firmware while in download mode using a less than legitimately obtained lg R&D tool. however, i need V10F_00.kdz and i am facing a bit of censorship. any kind soul willing to host this file on dropbox or similar so i can download it?
Usually devices have a button combination to press when powering on to get into different modes. Maybe try searching for the button combination of your phone on Google? Try ' lg escape button recovery ' ?

believe me i have. the only combo i can get to is download mode. there is a combo for a hard reset, but my touch buttons arent active during boot.
Is there a rooting section or something? I feel as if this may be in the wrong section (if so, please move it thanks)
So, today, I decided that I wanted to unlock, root, and install a custom ROM on my htc m9. Now, on my previous phone, I only rooted and installed a custom kernal, all of which were apps that I used on my phone to do all the work. for the m9, there are no apps that root the phone for you so I looked up a few tutorials. (I'll list what I did in case you find something I did wrong
list of my guides :
droidviews.com/root-htc-one-m9-marshmallow
.droidviews.com/how-to-root-htc-one-m9-and-install-twrp-recovery-on-it/
and I used htc dev to unlock my phone's bootloader
unlocking my bootloader.
Unlocking my bootloader was successful, when I go into download mode (the black screen to be clear) it says unlocked
installing twrp
There was a lot of issues when installing since all but one of the guides kept saying go into bootloader mode, bootloader mode this, bootloader mode that (which is the white screen). After some searching, I realized that they really meant download mode... two different things... I believe twrp was successfully downloaded since I am able to access twrp when I go into bootloader mode, then recovery mode, and I end up in twrp.
rooting
so, according to the guide, I move the supersu zip files into my internal storage (anywhere). then go into twrp, press install, select the zip file, then swipe to flash.
well, I did just that, however, when I go to turn on my phone, I get stuck on the htc load screen, It's not a boot loop, it's just that white screen that says htc... I can't do anything else. holding down the power button does nothing (even for 10 seconds)... update, after typing this, I get a nice animation, then I'm stuck on the white screen that says htc one...holding the power button again does nothing, power button, and volume down does nothing... I think if I hold the power button and volume up, I turn off the phone, meaning I can access download mode, boot loader mode, etc. So... now what? clearly, following instruction has got me not where (bummer) and my lack of experience has also gotten in trouble (it could be worse? right?) what can I do to fix this?
note: my previous phone, I soft bricked it and I was able to flash the stock rom with LG flash tool, but there's no such thing as htc flash tool...

SO I AM RENDERING THIS NEXUS 5 DEAD (BRICKED FOREVER)
***
My daughter was using this Nexus 5 device and the power button started causing her problems.
Well I removed the power button and ordered a new one. So now the power button is not an issue.
But I guess during the time that the phone constantly kept rebooting due to the bad power button, something got corrupt.
Now the device gets to the boot animation and never goes any further.
There are no options in recovery for me to use.
I have working ADB and Fastboot on my PC. I can see the device with Fastboot but not ADB because I can't get the device to boot into the OS for me to enable USB debug.
But I know ADB works because I used it just the other day on a Galaxy S5.
I have tried to run fastboot oem unlock, it unlocks the device then once you reboot the boot loader, it says locked again.
I have tried using Nexus Root Toolkit and hit unlock and it unlocks then says the phone will reset itself and just be patient. It may appear to bootloop but just wait.
I waited for an hour and still just sits at the boot animation.
What are my options without being able to enable USB debug since the device will not boot to the OS?
I am able to Temporarily boot to a custom recovery, but I can't mount data!!!
With Temporary TWRP, I am able to use ADB and I get a success message when I push a new system image to it, and when I push twrp recovery to it, but when the phone reboots, I find out that neither the system image or recovery were actually installed.
I looked into bad partitions, tried some fixes, and nothing works. I am so far beyond frustrated with this thing. I guess I will wait one more day to see if anyone else has any other ideas for me to try, then I am just going to put it in the trash.
- Bootloop
- Bootloader doesn't stay unlocked
- Unable to mount storage
- USB Debugging is not enabled and can't be enabled
- Can't install OS image
- Can't install Recovery
- Can run TWRP temporary
- Can use ADB when TWRP Temporary is running, still can't mount anything
Hi Community,
I read some posts how to fix my Problem, but i cant go to a service Point.
So I was using the Evolution X for a long Time (Installed with TWRP 3.1.0).
And now i wanted to change to the Nusantara Project (Vanilla), I did a clean Flash, everything worked i could access the System.
Than i had problems installing Play Store, so i rebooted into Recovery via the System. But now im Stuck in the Loop.
Can i Somehow connect my Phone to the PC and Reset?
Can someone tell me if i Hard/soft bricked my phone ?
Just a little advice, would be really appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Go to TWRP, wipe system, cache, data and dalvik. Now flash nusantra and whichever GApps are recommended for it (if there are no recommendations then use OpenGApps, make sure the architecture is correct). Now wipe dalvik and restart. Sometimes, certain roms begin to bootloop if you boot into the rom first, then try to install gapps later.
If you still have issues, just reflash the stock rom.
I cant access the TWRP anymore, im just stuck on the Bootloader, no matter how i turn on The Phone (Volume Up + Power ON ), (Volume Down + Power), (All 3 Buttons)
Nothing works anymore i dont understand ....
Im searching the net but i cant go to fastboot or something else, its just keeps on rebooting ...
So it's bootlooping, but you cant access recovery?
When the screen turns off, press the key combo and it should go to recovery.
Your best bet is to take it to a service centre, but if that really isn't possible for you, then wait for its battery to drain completely, then when you plug in the charger, instead of turning the phone on, press the key combo to enter the recovery. From there, wipe and flash some other OS.
I've also heard that certain versions of TWRP don't support some roms, leading to a bootloop. In that case, you'll have to use orangefox recovery to flash the rom (orangefox is flashable via twrp)
Yes its Bootlooping.
When i turn it on, on the Left Corner "Recovery Mode" blinks for one second. Than the usual Text appears:
"Orange State
Your Device has been unlocked and cant be trusted
Your Device will boot in 5 Seconds".
So after a couple of seconds (around 10-20 sec)
It turns off and immediately on again. I Just can turn it OFF when i hold all 3 Buttons.
Than i try starting it with Volume up + Power / Volume down + Power, But i cant access Recovery or TWRP.
So i should wait til the battery gets low and try it again ?
Like i said, my custom Rom (Evolutionx) and TWRP just worked fine. I dont know man ...
Well since your bootloader is unlocked, try flashing the stock rom again. Look for a tutorial and follow it.
Hi I managed to unbrick my device with this guide, and im back on a stock rom
Unbrick
i ran following commands to get to my custom rom:
I run adb reboot bootloader,
add executed following commands.
(Pitch Black recovery 3.1)
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
-fasboot reboot recovery
It just hang up and booted after a while into the normal system.
But im not able to get to the recovery menu ?
When I restart and hold Volume up + Power, i go in a loop and the phone keeps restarting over and over again.
what have i Fu**ed up ?
Do i need another recovery tool ?
sorry guys, i appreciate your help a lot tho !
EDIT: Is my bootloader unlocked ?
I can access via "adb reboot bootloader" the phone
and on the blackscreen on the phone it is written:
oppo verfiy pass
fastboot_unlock_verify ok
Update:
So i tried some Stuff and i got Red State. No Problem i Unbricked it once again and now im on Stock Android 10.
Now im Trying to enable the bootloader again.
I downloaded the In Depth Test_Realme_6.apk but i keep getting the Error that i should update the system.
So should i update the system ?
I cant find a CURRENT Tutorial to make this work, please help...
If you cant find a tutorial for your version, why not downgrade back to a previous one if possible.
