Hello,
I've got a Realme 7. Tried to update a ROM, something happened, lost recovery, not it's boot looping.
I understand what I need to do - Reflash stock rom and recovery.
However, I can't get my phone to power off, I can't get the USB filters installed, I can't do anything...
Holding power does nothing, holding vol + and power does nothing...It just keeps looping back to the realme logo.
I assume, if I can get it powered off, I can then hold volume up and down to get libusb to recognize it and then go from there. However, I'm at a loss...
Thanks.

Open the USB filters wizard, and pay attention when the device is trying to boot, you could install it, see which item is added. To completely power off the device, you just have to press the three buttons simultaneously.
Yeah, can't get it to the point where

The 3 buttons doesn't seem to work either. Just black screen, then Realme logo - Orange state - Your device will boot in 5 seconds.
It just goes black again, and back to the realme logo.
Can't get to do anything.

In the short time it is going to blank screen it is power off, then immediately it is trying to boot, I faced the same a lot of times. A variant, pressing vol up + PWR also device gets off, when device is trying to boot, tap on the item newly added and install it, open firstly the libUSB wizard and keep it open, and visible to you.
Yeah, I can't get it. Doesn't seem to detect that the phone is connected to my computer at all. Nothing shows up in the USB filters...Doesn't seem to matter when I press volume up and down throughout the process...
Can't seem to do anything. Just looping...Ugh - I guess I'm out of luck?

Install all the previous drivers needed.
Also you have this tool to flash recovery and see from there https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
To get it work you don´t need the LibUSB32, you have to find the short time device is trying to reboot to press the volume buttons to connect to the tool.

I assume that once I get it loaded up in MTK Client I can just flash recovery.img from the stock rom?
Or do I need to flash something else completely?

No, it's not dead, I had bricked my device even in a state of no signal of life at all, but I have completely working now, just I lost IMEI cause a bad flashing and back up gone.
You should start by flashing only the stock recovery, so you can try to flash an ozip from there, be sure your device has some charge now and check all the drivers you have installed.
Open device manager in Windows, and connect your PC while you are pressing buttons and so, and check how it is listed there.
This is preloader mode:

hold volume + and power button for while, as soon as the screen turns off leave the button. your phone will successfully turn off. and to solve the problem. you need to download the official firmware which have scatter file and Remember to backup your NV data OR any NV RAM before flashing or you will loose IMEI number because of which many people are facing IMEI problem including me.. So after backup Flash the firmware with format all or re-partition and will successfully boot up. remember to restore NV DATA/NV RAM. you can use unlock tool to flash the firmware.
Same problem here... I change my Chinese GT2 Pro to Global, everythings fine, but when I tried to lock the bootloader a message apears saying the flash was broken or something and now it keeps flashing the "realme Powered by android" for 0,5 a sec and rebooting again and again and again... can't do absolute nothing...

Recover from what? There are many users including me that recovered the 99% of its functionalities. If you are referring to the IMEI, then, yes, and not, it´s not possible by any tools that available for end users, but it can be done through specialized hardware tools.

Recover that:
Bash:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot.exe flash recovery corrupted_recovery.img
fastboot.exe flash vbmeta corrupted_vbmeta.img
fastboot.exe boot corrupted_recovery.img
After this, the phone is on boot looping, and because the looping, the usb is reconfiguring all the time (I was unable to get time enough to connect using adb or fastboot)
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the physical buttons does not respond after this procedure. I'm unable to use power; power+down; power+up...

Just search in the forum, there is not a guide all-in-one, but everything you need is here.
From unlock the bootloader, either officially or unofficially, using mtk-client, updating the drivers through Lib-USB, device filter, flashing every partition using the same tool or SP Flash tool.
Just a side note, Physical button don´t have to do with software issues, device not entering to a specific mode, is not because physical buttons are supposedly, not responding, but this stage is missing or unavailable. There are many posts and guides about unbricking this device, just search thoroughly through the forum.

Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help me.
I got a TF201 recently and it was rooted so I decided to try and flash it back to factory setting, I went into recovery mode and found there was a backup on there from when it was first made so I restored it to that.
I then clicked the button to reset the system and it gets to the Asus logo but doesn't go any further.
I tried booting into recovery again (power and vol down key) and all I get to is a menu that says "wipe data" or "fastboot USB download protocol", but no matter what I do I can't get past that screen!
Have I properly bricked it? or is there some way I can save this?

You are still on ICS bootloader.
I would advise you doing the nvflash process before leaving ICS because with them files backed up you can never hard brick your prime.
http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/
What rom do you want to install on there?
Here is a quote from another post I made.
Ok, you are on the ICS bootloader at the moment. The first thing we are going to do is flash a version of TWRP recovery on there which will allow you to install a rom off the external SD.
Power off the prime and put yourself into fastboot mode by holding power button and volume down the same time until a few icons appear on the screen. At this point press volume down to go over to the usb icon and then press volume up. It will look like the prime has frozen. Plug the prime into pc and make sure you have the drivers installed. If you do not please install them from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502
Next follow this post to flash ICS twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34477681&postcount=5705
Only use the file in that link to install it while on ICS bootloader. Later on you are going to flash hairybean 1.3 which will take you up to Jellybean Bootloader. If you use this file after that you will brick your tablet.

When you go to the bootloader where the icons are and you plug the prime into PC it should show up in device manager. If the drivers are not installed it will show unknown device in device manager. If they are installed they will be up the top somewhere under asus or android devices saying something like asus bootloader interface.

Oh wait.. You are on ICS.. It's been so long.
I think the way to get into recovery on that is to hold the power down and volume down button to turn it on and then press volume up when the message appears. I don't think you had the recovery icon on ICS.

Well I have some blob files here that should take you to either the 4.1.1 bootloader and a custom recovery or the 4.2.1 bootloader and a custom recovery but when you upgrade to them you will lose the ability to ever make your nvflash backups.
It all depends what rom you want to go to and if you want to go this route.

True, but there seems to be some kind of safety feature HTC built into the phone to prevent you from accidentally restarting your phone like that in say your pocket. The ambient light sensor is checked before the reboot will take place, hence the recommendation of rebooting with a light pointed at the sensor or at least in a brightly lit room.

I never knew that the phone checks the ambient light sensor before it reboots. I usually just hold the power and volume up button for about 10 seconds
Uh I just usually hold power until the back and home button starts blinking then it will stop to tell you the phone is off. I thought the guy who said the thing about ambient light was being sarcastic

Confirm this is true!
I was stuck in the aroma when I was flashing the kernel. I tried for hours to shut it down (tried everything, like hold down for minutes, all combination of holding buttons, etc..) but nothing works. At last I found this post and followed the instructions...
Additional info: The Light sensor has to be stimulated for couple second (may due to some buffer on the sensor reading). The last time I succeeded when I pointed a LED light to the sensor for about 10 seconds and then hold down the power button.
Thanks gunnyman! (Say thanks with words and Thanks button! XD)
alternate method to holding down buttons
I had to find a way to restart the phone when it was in TWRP and frozen. This was caused by using an outdated version of TWRP and no combination of buttons or bright lights was working. If you have access to a computer and are comfortable using adb, this method worked for me.
1) Get and install the latest adb files. I use something called minimal adb and fastboot.
2) Connect your phone, open a command prompt in the directory where your adb is located
3) Type "adb devices" and your phone SHOULD show up
4) Type "adb reboot" or "adb reboot-bootloader" and the phone will reboot either normally or into the bootloader, whichever you prefer.
5) ?????
6) Profit.
thanks all, power and vol up and down worked like a charm

Hi there, am also stuck on frozen TWRP screen, all was well and good for a while but then my damn stock rom downloaded an android update over wifi between reboots (didnt notice) and applied it without asking and now TWRP is non-responsive to touch. Have tried following the above but for some reason now fastboot wont recognise the device, it just says device not found when i try the above (when booted into stock rom). Have tried booting into TWRP and pushing the recovery flash, at the moment its not working either (can get into and out of TWRP as described above). Is it pertinent that during the process i get "ADB server is out of date. Killing:*Daemon started successfully? I have updated android studio to latest but still get this message for some reason...Any help much appreciated. Just trying to get a working recovery so i can flash rom.
---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------
Maybe my question above is in the wrong thread? I can confirm that holding down both up and down volume buttons an then power does the same thing as taking the battery out in other models (restart).

Hi there, am also stuck on frozen TWRP screen, all was well and good for a while but then my damn stock rom downloaded an android update over wifi between reboots (didnt notice) and applied it without asking and now TWRP is non-responsive to touch. Have tried following the above but for some reason now fastboot wont recognise the device, it just says device not found when i try the above (when booted into stock rom). Have tried booting into TWRP and pushing the recovery flash, at the moment its not working either (can get into and out of TWRP as described above). Is it pertinent that during the process i get "ADB server is out of date. Killing:*Daemon started successfully? I have updated android studio to latest but still get this message for some reason...Any help much appreciated. Just trying to get a working recovery so i can flash rom.

Fastboot commands work in the bootloader / fastboot USB
adb commands work in TWRP / recovery
If you can get to the bootloader fastboot USB reflash TWRP or relock the bootloader and flash the same version firmware you have now again
and then flash TWRP
Hi cIsA, thanks for your reply and for distinguishing that after replacing the recovery with TWRP only adb commands will work. Havent had this problems with other phones I have modded. When you say get to the bootloader, one does that by holding down volume down and power no? That takes me to TWRP. I thought recovery and bootloader were the same. So this mean i cant run fastboot commands after installing TWRP? I have re-posted my question in the TWRP thread for this device as I think I may be off topic given the thread title.

I'm stuck at the moment, but the phone does boot up but coping files to the internal memory won't work. Any ideas or help will be deeply appreciated.
Try this first:
1) Remove battery and disconnect USB Cable
2) Press and hold Volume Up
3) Insert battery while Still pressing volume up
4) Insert USB Cable while Still pressing volume up
5) With a little luck you're in download mode and able to flash KDZ with LG flash tool
If not, it seems like fastboot should be working from that screen. I remember going through that on my G2. Make sure your drivers are working. Reinstall them, reboot computer. If you can get your computer to recognize it in fastboot you should be able to flash the partitions manually. Sounds like just laf is needed, at least to get you to download mode so you can KDZ.
Edit- hmm you upgraded to lollipop, I believe I read that Verizon removed fastboot. Maybe some more ideas will come.

Thanks for the reply,
I tried all those mentioned, the fastboot looks like it working but when i shoot over the file it just hangs there then gives an error to the lines of "to many lines" I can't recall exactly.
UPDATE: Now I can't boot into the system all, it goes straight to Fastboot now

doubt i can be of assistance, but this is a verizon device?
if you cant get download mode to come up, your laf partition is jacked. im not sure how you would fix that from recovery though, as adb is disabled, or was for me anyway.

you may want to have the boot img handy too, im skeptical that all your issues came from laf, just a guess though. jacked kernel may be kicking it back, and jacked laf is defaulting to fastboot thats not there.

I can't, the screen shot in the first post is all I get no matter how I try to boot the phone, even plugging it in sends it right to that screen.
Have you tried pulling battery, volume down then power to get into system recovery screen? Then maybe factory reset, just thinking outloud here.

Maybe try to contact @nitroglycerine33 he had the usb yanked while flashing with lg tool (very bad) and fixed it. Maybe he can point you in the right direction.
I sent him a PM, this issue kept me up all night... I cant think of anything.
I fixed the exact same issue by removing the battery, then taking out the SIM card and my external SD. Once those were gone, I pressed and held Vol Down and Power, then put the battery back in while continuing to hold the two buttons. Shortly after the battery was put in, the phone vibrated and went to its traditional recovery menu. From there, I just selected Wipe Cache, and I was then taken to my original TWRP I had. Redoing the process for installation of Jasmine went flawlessly the second time around and am currently running it right now.

This recovery is carried from Coolapk user named 残芯。
More features can be seen there.
Please use fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img instead of fastboot boot !!!!
Temporary boot is not supported is this device.
The link does not lead to anything useful but I was able to do my own googling using the username you provided and I did find some weibo page of a guy claiming to be a unofficial twrp creator for multiple phones. I dont speak chinese but google translate gave me enough info.
I also found a page by the same user with screenshots showing a legion pro 2
Sina Visitor System
So this might be a legit twrp after all but I will let a braver soul try it out first.

In fact,the weibo link that you provide leads to a download-able zip file with a password.But,you must pay money to get the password.

Ok. so i did
fastboot flash boot xxx.img
as it was written (probably, i used a translator) in the original post. It was successful but my phone wouldn't boot (no matter whether it was fastboot reboot recovery or fastboot reboot, the logo flashed and the phone went back to bootloader) so i later downloaded the ROM it had before, version 12.5.062 ST and extracted the boot.img from it, did fastboot flash boot boot.img and the whole thing booted up as it would normally and is fully functioning including wifi and fingerprint. i have the 18/512GB version so i guess it should be the Lenovo Legion 2 Pro
In the weibo post the guy suggested to quote "Use the (Stump or Residual) tool to brush into the boot section, and use the method to skip to twrp"
but i don't know what those thing mean
Any help would be appreciated as i want to maybe change the rom to cn and root it
Did you boot into TWRP? You have to hold the volume down button and then power on the device. When the bootloader menu prompts, tap volume down or up and select recovery and see if it boots into TWRP. Also, I believe you can flash it to recovery instead of boot - try and post results.

There is no recovery partition and i could power it off only after unplugging the side usb port, if not, the logo would blink and the phone would go back to fastboot mode after selecting START / POWER OFF / REBOOT RECOVERY / REBOOT BOOTLOADER (all available options). After that i could not get it into anything other than bootloader or power off state. The post says to jump to twrp after flashing boot.img but as i said the phone didn't boot up to anything other than the bootloader, even after using a ton of key combinations. From fastboot mode it won't boot to recovery as there is no place for one, after flashing stock boot.img and using adb reboot recovery it shows the usual No command sleeping robot. Holding Volume Up or Down and Power keys didn't bring the usual options.
Maybe the secure boot prevents from booting anything other than bootloader after flashing non compatible boot.img
so i succefully rooted the phone by just flashing patched boot.img but while tinkering in fastboot, i switched the active slot from a to b and now my phone is stuck in EDL mode and i have no idea which firmware is compatible as i already tried flashing the cn, row and ee roms via QFIL and nothing worked.
Uh oh, do you know if it is a Duel 2 or Pro 2? Try the .188 firmware from lolinet and then flash it through QFIL with the instructions by Shadow27Jirka ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/help-how-to-solve-frimware-problem.4286635/ )
Open QFIL
Select Meta Build
Select Programmer path as "prog_firehose_ddr.elf" from extracted ROM files
Load Content.xml from ROM files ("contents.xml")
Press Download
Switch phone to Download mode (press and hold all volume and power buttons for a while and the plug a cable to side USB port)
Download will start automatically and it´ll flash whole OS
If step 5 will not be enabled, use step 6 and press Download right after phone is detected by QFIL
It's Lenovo Legion 2 Pro. China Aliexpress version with global ROM flashed. I tried the .188 You mentioned but it returned the same result as before, when my phone was working and I was trying to change the ROM back to CN.

Try powering down the device fully by holding the power key for 30 seconds or both the volume up and power key for 30 seconds. When you plug it in, hold both volume keys and the power button and click download right away. Since you have the AliExpress version use .188 with QFIL. Make sure you have your com port selected.

Tried to power it off while having the usb cable connected to the side port, after around 15-16 seconds of holding POWER / POWER + VOLUME the COM port in Qfil blinks and is again displayed as QDLoader 9008. Then I tried with the phone unplugged and the results were the same. After that I just tried to get Partition Manager working but to no avail, the same as with normal .188 flash.
Nothing works. I tried different Qfil configurations and multiple CN Roms but this POS just won't budge. Damned Sahara error drives me crazy.
What version of QPST are you using? Have you used QFIL before? You may be missing libraries. Have you tried full power down and then hold both volume keys and power button followed by plugging it in (official way to flash)?
I was using the latest Qfilfrom the latest QPST package, don't remember the exact version, then Qfil 2.0.1.0 because it was used in the Z6 Pro guide and was mentioned on the CN forum. There was even a nice gif showing everything step-by-step. Done exactly that but the outcome was the same- Sahara error. Tomorrow I'm gonna try reinstall everything and do it once again and if it doesn't help, switch to linux and Windows 7.
I'm a nobb in those things and need to read more, but it can be that I unlocked the slot a bootloader, and then switched to slot b with it locked, so the bl may be preventing qfil from flashing
Hi
My G9 Power is stock ROM and is just over 2 years old, It's running fairly standard stuff and isn't rooted. . Last night I was responding to a message when it shut down. It had plenty of charge, at least 60%.
Rebooting it just results in the boot looping - splash screen for a few minutes, then blank, then restart. I deliberately left it doing that all night to exhaust the battery, which happened earlier.
It is recognising a cable is plugged in but my memory tells me that a light comes on the say it's charging, which isn't happening now - but that may be because of the stage it's in in booting (though it doesn't come on when the phone is off either). There is no haptic feedback when I plug in the cable, or sound.
So while I'm no expert I have previously replaced ROMs on an old phone, so I thought of Recovery. I can get to the menu which includes recovery, which is headed (in red bold) AP Fastboot Flash mode (Secure). The options are Restart, Bootloader, Barcodes, Recovery and Start. Barcode shows me barcodes and start goes back into the loop but Recovery doesn't do anything at all.
How can I get round this as I can't use ADP unless it's in the recovery menu can I?
Or is it dead, terminally?
Any ideas appreciated...)

Your best bet might be to follow Post #3 in this thread. You will likely lose anything that wasn't backed up. But it might be useful in salvaging your phone.
Instead of the link in that thread, you probably need the newest firmware from this: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/cebu/official/RETGB/ (I'm guessing you're in the UK, based on your username and the spelling of "recognising"). Extract the file and then run the commands from the first link.
You will need to have platform-tools installed.
Hope it helps.

no, always take the flash commands out of flashfile.xml from insode the firmware zip.
@GeoffUK That would be my advice, too. Download the firmware and flash it. A bootloop is mostly related to a corrupt /data partition and flaahing the firmware will erase /data.
If you have any questions about it just ask.
or try this tool

Thanks for this important correction.
Thanks for the prompt and useful reply.
I'd have quite happily tried the suggestion but I can't identify the correct file in the link https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/borneo/
Also, when I plug the phone into the PC there is not a glimmer of recognition on the PC (though the phone knows it's been connected) so I don't think it is sufficiently connected to do anything with - don't forget I cant boot to any menu, recovery or otherwise. I've tried different cables etc.
Lastly, I ran it down to zero battery yesterday. I don't think it is even charging as it was plugged in overnight and on the occasion I can get a display the battery state is showing 0% (i,e, when I first plug in the cable).
I'm not about to spend a lot of time or money trying to fix it but I have just ordered a new charging port dock as that was cheap enough and seems reasonably easy to replace.
I'll report back once that is done, meantime would appreciate any more thoughts people may have.
Thanks again.

Yes (sometimes)
This is the 'bootloader screen' or 'fastboot mode'. To open that screen:
device is powered off: hold Power+Vol- to boot into fastboot mode
device is powered on (but bootloops): hold Power+Vol- for 10-15 sec. to boot into fastboot mode
In that mode you can use the LMSA to flash a new firmware. In case it won't work you have the option to flash the firmware manually (with my help).
Hi, thanks for your patience.
I can get it to boot to the exact screen you show but it won't go any further, on any button press on the phone. I can scroll up and down from Start and see the other options but selecting any of them doesn't look like it does much. The PC doesn't seem to see the phone.
But I'd be happy trying anything!! I realise the phone contents are probably lost.

Once you're getting to that screen, that's a good sign. You need to leave it at that screen and then use Rescue and Smart Assistant (RSA) on your Windows computer to reinstall the firmware on your phone.
In fastboot mode you are able to flash a new firmware. Download the tool linked above and install it. You get instructions by the tool. Try it and for any questions write a post here.
RSA is running and I am logged in but it needs the IMEI which I don't have.
It does say if you know your phone supports Fastboot you can connect directly via Fastboot mode but it doesn't explain how.
Will the tool also link me to the right firmware?
OK, I found the original box which has the IMEI on.
I'm now downloading the firmware.
Well that completed successfully but I'm afraid it didn't fix the problem....
I don't think the phone is holding charge. It was still looping at the boot screen though it has now stopped doing that and is just blank. I'll leave it on charge overnight but I'm not expecting much!
I have the charge port part arriving in the next few days so I guess that's the next step.
Thanks for your help, I'm really grateful!
Still looping?
No, it's just dead. I think if I plugged it in it'd still be looping
sounds like a hardware issue...
Yep, new phone. I'll try this part I've ordered before giving up.
Thanks for all your help though.
no problem! I hope you will manage to fix the issue.
