has this problem already came up if so I missed it a link would be nice to fix my phone Thanks
I could be misunderstanding your problem here but I think i had a similar issue... first of all make sure you're holding down the power button long enough to boot up. Seems to take 4 or 5 seconds with this phone.
Also when I had the issue i took out the bat, put it back, plugged into a wall charger and then held the power button that worked. But I think really my issue was impatience not holding the power button the first time long enough.
no i am the screen wont say updating or whatever when i hold the up and down button but it looks for a driver ?? and installs the Right driver
helpppppppppp your way to the search button.
Thread moved to proper forum.
You only hold volume down and power. I had the same issue. Holding both volumes will cause the phone to not boot.

So you flashed the recovery before you rooted. Try reflashing the original recovery. I don't know if that will work. You should have rooted then flashed recovery.

thats what im doing now but gewt stuck at waiting for bootloader to int for some reason
Well your g2x will never go out of the updating screen you have to wait until one click says it has transfered the file. Wait a minute or so after that and unplug the USB and put your battery back in the I would do a master rest.

thing is my lg screen is black can i still root with a black screen ? like i said only action i get out of the g2x is if i hold the vol up And Down and plug it in then i hear the sound of the computer finding it witch gives me hope
I would try recovering recovery befor trying to root again. I would do the nvflash but pick the original recovery instead of cm. Then after that master reset by original recovery which is hold power and down volume. Recovery will rest your rom. Rooting puts you root permissions I believe into a different partition any ways that's how a master reset does not wipe them. Your problem sounds like more of a recovery issue then root.

It is problem is it stays at Waiting for Bootloader int how long should that be there?
are you holding the volume buttons down and plunging in the usb before you select the version? you have to continue holding them the whole time. should pick it up in matter of seconds.
Hey everyone I have a HTC inspire which I flashed jelly time onto, before that my volume buttons worked but now they don't work and the button is complety gone HTC did a very bad job with that it easily came out... So recently when I boot the phone on it boots the normal jelly time startup and the black screen. I have seen the only way to fix this is either factory reset or reflash ROM. But I am unable to do that since ,y volume button is broken. I have read that you can get to recovery via adb and or flash via adb can someone help me out please?

you can connect your HTC phone to your computer via USB cable, and use the command below, before that you need to install adb shell on Windows.
adb reboot bootloader
Also, you could enter Recovery mode through ROM Toolbox and if you're using TWRP, its touch, so you dont need hardware keys.

So you're stuck on booting and your hardware buttons dont work?
There is a way to get into the recovery in such a situation but that usually relies on the hardware buttons. What device do you have? What recovery?
Try this
Remove battery n reinsert it
Now connect the phone to charger.
Don't do anything keep the phone as it is for 5 -10 min.
It will automatically go to recovery

Im assuming you have android sdk installed
Connect your phone, locate adb using cmd prompt (change directory) (RUN AS ADMIN), type 'adb reboot recovery' (no quotes)
I will try this in the morning. What screen do I use the command at? Anytime?

Follow these fool-proof steps:
Locate your android sdk folders-> navigate to the folder where adb is located ->hold shift + right click on the folder containing adb and select ''open command window here'' ( this will automatically take care of pointing the directory to that location) -> 'adb reboot recovery' ENTER
This will automatically enter recovery. I suggest you restore your old backup .
As for your volume buttons, you should be able to fix it easily if you know a little bit of soldering and know-how.

HTC Desire HD hard reset without volume buttons
I have htc desire hd and my volume buttons is broken ,my phone is much dispute and have lots of bugs i want to HARD RESET no factory reset only hard reset with rebote. Please help me how to reset my HTC DHD without volume buttons!!
!!sorry for my english!!
SOLVED! (At least for me)
To whom may still be interested, I found a way to get into recovery and subsequently wipe data/factory reset the HTC Inspire 4G/Desire HD without using the volume buttons.
Phone background: the phone that I used had the internal volume buttons broken. It was rooted and unlocked using the effen hack kit, then I flashed a custom ROM on it and I forgot to do a factory reset before I firstly boot up the phone with the new ROM. So it was stuck on the boot animation forever.
Steps for getting into recovery mode without volume buttons:
1. Take the battery off
2. Plug the phone to a wall charger for at least one or two minutes.
3. Put the battery back on along with the battery door and don't touch any buttons.
- The orange led on the front will light up and stay on for a few seconds before the phone automattically gets into recovery
Note: use the touch capacitive buttons to manipulate recovery:
- Home/Menu buttons to navigate up/down
- Back button to go back
- Search button to select
That's pretty much it. At this point you can do anything!
I hope this can help someone out there... If it helped you please hit the thanks button!

You can use adb commands to enter in recovery mode. Connect your android to PC. Enable adb debugging and open command prompt in PC.
Type "adb devices" without qoutes and enter then type "adb reboot recovery" and enter. These commands boot your android in recovery mode.
I'm pretty sure I'm bricked now. Black ATT One X. Flashing updated twrp so I can flash 4.4 roms, but wasn't paying attention and typed boot instead of recovery out of habit. Now my phone only goes to htc splash screen and turns off again. I can't get into recovery or fast boot. I'm bricked aren't I?

I'm assuming you are holding down the power and volume down keys at the same time to get into the bootloader?
Sometimes you have to hold both buttons (power button and volume down button) for 10 to 15 seconds. I've had to do this multiple times in a row to get out of a bootloop in the past.
If the phone attempts to boot and you can see the splash screen then you are not bricked yet. Bricked means nothing happens when you push the power button.

Yes. Doing that doesn't do anything until I take my fingers off, then it tries to do a normal boot and powers off again.
What command did you type exactly?
There is a fastboot command for just booting a recovery.IMG (fastboot boot recovery.img), but it wouldn't cause the problem you are having. It would just boot you into that recovery without actually flashing it.
Edit: what are your phone specs?... i.e. carrier, hboot version, etc...

Try holding the volume down button while the phone is booting, keep holding it and when it begins the loop again hopefully it'll get you to bootloader.

If what I suggested doesn't work and there's absolutely no way to get to the bootloader or get fastboot to work, you're kinda screwed. You'll probably have to try getting a jtag repair done, I think that'll be your only option.

Good! You need to flash a valid boot.img to your boot partition. Absolutely do not reboot the phone until you've done that.

Agreed. Unless you can get fastboot access back to overwrite your boot partition, your in a pickle. In any event, hopefully this will serve as a lesson to you concerning the detail and care you need to show when it comes to altering your phones.

i flashed the latest nightly of AOKP today and then restored all my apps and data with titanium backup. When the restore was complete it prompted me to reboot my device so i did. ever since then i have been unable to reboot my phone as it is stuck on the start up screen. i then tried to restore from a backup of my other rom and then found out that i couldn't boot into the boot loader as when i held down the power and + volume button the startup would begin and then the phone would turn off. any ideas on how to fix this.
What it's happening is your stuck in a boot loop.
When you are holding power and volume down the phone is only interested in the power button part. Which is why it's powering off.
Just keep the buttons held both power and volume down. When it powers off keep them held and you should come into the bootloader

Not sure if the quote is a typo or not, but it should be power and - volume. You can also try power and both volume buttons, which will take you to the secondary boot loader.

I assumed the op was able to completely power down by just continuing to hold the power button and possibly had the wrong button combo.

Hi guys.
Sorry for bumping but I have the same issue and for me it wasn't fixed by going in recovery mode. I already tried deleting cash, and even tried getting back to factory settings. But still, when i restart the phone, the same loop keeps occuring.
At first it always just went to 'google' and then rebooted and rebooted. Now it just keeps stuck with the google logo (the 4 colour image).
Could someone help me possibly?
Thanks in advance

Hi Kevin,
Try LG flashtool. Link in my signature. If you have the 32GB version of the american nexus 5 (D820) you can use the converted firmware without any problem. It was tested numerous time.
You can also try to reflash stock google rom in fastboot mode http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
If you are using LG flashtool and you get error about cant format userdata and/or cache or by checking the flashing log you see timeout errors then your phone have a fauilty emmc. If you are using the fastboot method and you see "remote: flash write failure" text in the CMD window then you have fauilty emmc. Your only option is to rma your phone if bought from google or claim your warranty from LG if your phone is not from Google and you have the receipt of your phone.
Suddenly my phone (z710e) jumped into a loop boot.
It's not rooted, no custom stuff, no custom bootloader.
It loads fine, but after 1-2 seconds reboots.
I've already tried to unbrick it with no result, computer can't see my phone.
Help with an advice or a link or anything useful will be great!
Thanks!

If i remember correctly you can wipe cache from the stock recovery. Boot into hboot by holding down volume down and power. Use the volume buttons to highlight recovery and press power. Then you will see a little android or a red exclamation in a triangle. Press the volume buttons and power until options appear on the screen. If it gives you wipe cache, them wipe it. Other wipe options may/will remove your personal data so use caution and know the risks

Okay, remove your battery then replace after 10 seconds. Then hold volume down first, then while volume down is still depressed begin holding power as well. If you see the htc splash screen then it has failed. Battery pull and try again. Have you ever used adb on this device?
