I don't think I can get into bootloader mode. Your suppose to hold the end button and press the down volume button, right?
hold the vol down button while it's booting up.

Yeah, it will not boot at all. Only sign of live is the Qualcomm driver that pops up when you plug it into the computer. Won't turn on.

if you can at least get the screen to turn on when you boot, you dont have a brick. there is software out there to force flash a device. if you cant turn it on at all, meaning you cant use the power button, you have a brick. when you flashed the raphael, the map path to the power button must have been lost. there is no recovery from that. run an industrial magnet over it for a minute, toss it in the river and tell vz you lost it...thats assuming you have insurance or just look on craigslist for a smashed screen vz tp2, take the brain out and put it in yours
It is a brick. You can NOT revive it if you flash another phone's bootloader.

Thanks for your help guys. It looks like the power button probably lost its mapping path, so it is a brick. Hence why I can't get it turned on all. I will probably try and return it as dysfunctional device since I just got it.
With the Verizon TP2 it's hold vol down and press the reset button on the side under the battery cover. Maybe there are multiple ways but that's how I get in to boot loader.
Flashing the wrong HSPL will give you a brick. Verizon may see what you have done, if you try to return it, but perhaps not. If they figure it out, they will not replace. You may want to consider claiming it as lost/stolen and pay the deductible.

Thats how the gsm tilt 2 works too... take out your stylus... press the little red reset button while holding down the volume down button... once you see the tri coloured boot screen load up you can release the volume down button and then stick that bad boy on the usb cable. When it connects it should say usb near the bottom. Flash away.
good luck!
how do all.... nexus s I9023
i have just purchased a some what lovely google nexus s I9023
working fine for an hour or so...
i had a little pop up asking me to update...
i thought OK... sure why not...
having done so phone worked fine for an additional 20 mins...
then phone froze... i took the battery out and started it up again...
it froze on GOOGLE screen...
iv trawled every forum possible since this has happened...
now the PHONE WILL NOT EVEN TURN ON...
the phone is completely stock no mods or addon's to it!
im at the end of my tether.. SOME ONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
Hold volume up + power after reinserting the battery and putting it on charge. Do you enter bootloader mode? And what happens if you click recovery?
done the hold volume up and press power...
still no joy unresponsive!!
when it does work after 50 attempts of taking the battery out and putting it back in and doing volume and power
it turns on.. scroll to recovery.. it turns off google screen pops on...
then a Green android lying on his back appears with its stomach open showing white blocks and a explanation mark above it!
IM PUZZLED!!!!!
it then resets it self going back to being unresponsive!!
HELP!!!!
Give this a shot.
Also, could it be a power button issue? And that android screen is the splash for stock recovery. You have to press vol. up + power again to get past it, beyond this you can do a factory reset and similar magic. However you likely don't want this, and on the screen where you chose to enter recovery, you'll likely want to use fastboot to unlock the phone (which will wipe all personal data) and then flash a stock ROM again. At this point i would advise lots and lots of reading.
If it's less than a year old, i would be calling samsung though. If it is a new phone i would definitely do this first. Do not unlock unless you have no chance of going through warranty. Will need to know the exact status of the phone for best advice here.
Was factory reseting it stuck and turned it self off and on. Now its stuck on asus screen and wont turn off just turns right back on like its looping. Cant acces anything. It is unlocked. any options? Doubting any but figured Id ask.

Force to off and press and hold volume down while it tries to reboot. Timing is everything here so you may need to hold volume down while forcing off with power button and continue to hold volume down.
Otherwise there is a very small hole about 25mm or 1inch below the sdcard. Use a small paper clip and press in gently this creates a forced reset of the processor and will sometimes help. Still no go do the reset again but this time holding volume down.
Press in gently and you will feel the spring collapse; stop there.
This is all I can suggest with your current situation.

I'm sorry that and remove back and unplug battery is all I have left.
With your issue I would think Asus would repair your tablet at no cost.

APX = volume up
bootloader = volume down
Try again using volume down for bootloader - from the bootloader you can try for recovery or reboot system plus it may give you access to fastboot.

APX appears useless unless you are on ICS or installed Nvflash while on ICS.
I have a thread about getting into the bootloader or apx but with your restrictions we have tried everything that relates.
Ok, I have done some looking and have not figured out much yet. I have a one x from AT&T that will not go into fastboot . Pushed the down vol and power, it starts up as normal. There is a pin lock on the screen that the customer forgot the code, so all we need to do is reset the phone to factory. Any other way to do this? I can not access the phones menu to do any thing like turn on debugging to fix it that way. Any help would be great.

There is not button combo that goes directly to fastboot. That button combo gets you into bootloader. Once in bootloader, you can select fastboot.
And if you can't get into booloader, its almost always a matter of you not doing the button combo correctly. Hold both the power button and vol down until the capacitive buttons flash a few times and the screen powers off. While the screen is off, release the power button but not the vol down rocker. Keep holding vol down until the white hboot screen comes up. People often think you are supposed to release both buttons at the same time, which just makes the phone boot normally.
Also this thread belong in Q&A. I've notified the mods to move it.

lol. Don't forget to jump up and down and flap your arms like a chicken. Absolutely necessary.
Seriously, it is confusing because a lot of people will just say "press power and vol down" which really doesn't accurately describe the whole process.
close please, condition green now.

Hopefully some other folks will jump in as well. Luckily you got other phones and it's not completely shot, so we'll see what we can do.
Have you gotten the phone to completely power off, or does it sit there and attempt to boot over and over?

Don't worry about putting the sim back in for now. The best thing to do is to just rule everything out. Mash volume down as hard as you can and hold it until the htc logo goes away. Mine is tricky as hell and any variation in pressure makes me miss the bootloader altogether.
I'm still looking for some further insight.
It doesn't make sense that it would do this while still S-On, as that's the whole point of staying S-On-- not screwing up the bootloader.

I figured as much. Bad-ass. Install fastboot drivers on your PC and run the RUU mentioned in my downgrade hboot thread over on the development forum. You can get that RUU on http://androidruu.com/?developer=Ville. It's the release 309489.
I'm assuming from that horrible crappy team's logo that you're T-Mobile, US, right?

Are you sure your phone is completely powered off? I couldn't figure that from all these posts...
You said the button lights are blinking and that's all. There is a bug happening sometimes, when display doesn't turn on and was happening also to me while I was testing some ROMs. Could you please hold that power button pressed after the button lights are blinking (that could be a warning that phone will shut down)? Keep power pressed like 10 secs after the blinking starts. Then take your finger from power button, press and hold vol down button and with other finger, press power button again for 2-3 secs while still holding pressed vol down. Phone should go to bootloader

The phone was at a black screen Rapier, I plugged in to charge and no led (orange light). The blinking lights on the bottom appeared when I pressed volume down + power. I held power button for 10-15 seconds, when I released the buttons, the phone went to the black screen and didnt come back until I mashed the buttons down

Just occurred to me-- it could be that you were holding the power button too long and it was actually powering it back off. The three buttons blinking are normal when you hold the power button down for ~10 seconds to power off (although on my phone it actually forces it to reboot).

He did get it into bootloader after really mashing the volume key. My phone is similar in that light or medium pressure on the volume key will cause it to miss the bootloader.
I have to take my phone out of the case typically-- frustrating, but this phone is so fast I can overlook it.

No problem. It should charge if you leave it on the bootloader screen (you did, right?) and plug it into your computer. That'll allow you to go ahead and make sure fastboot drivers are working, etc.
And yeah, it takes FORever to download, but I guess it's free, so can't complain. That site was actually down for a few days when I was trying to downgrade my hboot. I made sure to keep a copy of the RUU on my server this time, lol.

Actually, you might even try seeing if it will go into recovery now. If it does, that will allow you to bypass the RUU altogether and just go straight to flashing.
It's your call, but I'd recommend S-Off. It makes flashing on this phone a whole lot less painful.
