My phone died today, keeps rebooting, but will not turn on, i know how to do a factory reset, but is there any way to get out the pictures before i do that?
The phone is stock, not rooted, phone was trying to connect to wifi when it happened, it turned off, and keeps trying to turn on, but shuts down again, i would very much like to get the photos before i set it back to factory settings in the recovery menu

What was your battery status before this happened? if it was really low that could be the issue.

will your computer detect your phone at all? maybe you can root it then flash a ROM and keep all of your stuff.
1. How could you do a factory reset if the phone wont start up?
2. Can you get it into bootloader mode by holding VolDown?
3. If so, can you enter recovery? (Reason for asking: on custom recoveries like Clockworkmod and I assume TWRP you can use adb from a computer, if this works in stock recovery it should be easy to pull any file from the sdcard partition)
4. Tried holding powerbutton for 10 or 30 seconds ( I forget...) to force reboot?
5. A battery pull might work, search youtube for "directfix htc one s" and youll find a video how to disconnect battery)
You can factory reset through HBOOT menu, if he can get into it.

1. From the bootloader menu.
2. Yes i can get into the bootloadermenu by holding the volume and powerbutton.
3. Can also enter recovery, in the same bootloader screen, but when i open recovery, i get the green icon with the two arrows arround, but after a while it pops up a red triangle, and after this the phone starts to boot again, with no sucess.
4. Tryed this with no sucess, reboot, but will not turn on.
5. Battery pull will not work on this htc.
I dont care if the phone dont turn on, i can send it to the repair shop, but i would very much like to get the pics out of it before set it to factorysettings, or i send itin for rep.
I have seen programs that can get back deleted pics from a hard drives or memory cards, do you guys think this will work if the phone turns on after i do a factory reset
Took a factory reset today, and downloaded a program to my pc to recover lost data from the phone, but it did not find anything But the phone looks ok now

s-off
my htc haven't image on display
it vibrates after 12-15 seconds and sound of quietly brilliant about 3-4 minutes, sometimes not
in device manager the phone is seen as HTC Android Phone USB Device, under Disk Drives
is creeping me out, i don't know what it must be done
Bootloader
Have you tried booting into bootloader?
If so, boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup, then "wipe data/factory reset" and try booting it.
might restore the data later under advanced restore...
Hope this helps you out

thank you for answer
that was the first thing done
now i observed much weird situations
try to put into boot -> vol down+power ; does not start into boot
just vibrates and presume starts normaly
when it is pluged into computer or charger red led show very very low light, visible only in dark
plugin out led not off, same low light
how can i roll back in stock rom in this situation? is another way to plug into computer to flash?
is seen when fully start only under disk drives like htc android phone usb device
and it shocked me, when i put a sim in it, after starts (about 5-6-7 minutes) i can make a call from other phone to it
the screen is ok, i tried on another phone

you could try using a app to boot into recovery, like rom manager
Wait, wait, wait.. Can you see anything on your display? Does it even power on? If not, I'd say take it to a service.
*You should at least see the bootloader. That's not ROM related.
1. Do a "Factory data reset" through Settings>SD and phone storage>Factory data reset
2. power off
3. remove battery
4. reinsert battery
5. THEN vol down+power to get to recovery
6. In CWM go to "advanced"
7. wipe battery stats
8. wipe davlik cache
9. back to main cwm menu
10. wipe cache partition
11. wipe data/ factory reset
12. should be done, but you could repeat 6-10 to be safe.
both Alex just read the replays my friends
i cannot say same word over and over again
could be a short on motherboard? said that becaouse of the red led whitch just stay barely visible just after push power and stay like that all over the time
could be a battery issue?
or just be the display however?
i can receive call after it's starts completely, after 7 to 10 minutes, but i cannot see anything on screen
Drop it to the service.. Why wait so much? If you can't see anything on your display, not even the bootloader, or even the display powering on..

you're right
I went out partying last night, woke up to a crack on my nexus 5 and wouldnt turn on but the led would flash red. I figured it lost its charge. Charge the phone for few hours, phone would turn on and off right away as if it still were not charged. It would than shut off but restart to a screen that said Firmware Update- Please wait while it installs- B100. Nothing would install, it would stay at 0%. So I held the power button and now, it only turns on to the google sign and keeps looping from there. I tried to turn it on in recovery mode but that doesnt work either. My phone was never rooted, bootloader never unlocked and I never put it in debugging. I dont know what to do!
so the ol' 3-button combo doesn't get you to the bootloader?
Yes, it does. Forgot to mention that.

I don't know what you did, but your phone is not bricked. Hope you have a recent backup. If you can get into the bootloader I'd try a factory reset in recovery. If that doesn't work then you're going to have to unlock the bootloader and try to flash the factory image. None of this may work as idk what you did to your phone, but this is what I'd do.
Is flashing a factory image/unlocking bootloader possible even tho I can't get into the settings menu to turn on debugging option?

Alright, here. The catch-all solution: flash the factory image as in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701.
Just remember to cd to your adb directory, I made that mistake and almost fainted because I thought my device was totally broken when fastboot devices listed nothing.

If that's the case it sounds like you may have knocked something loose internally when whatever happened that caused the damage to your screen. Possibly a solder point or a cable coming loose.
Opened up the back cover, looks like condensation.....ill leave it alone for a few days and try again.

^Why would he factory reset when the phone is wet? You'll short circuit it that way..
The only method of a factory reset I've read about was turning on in Recovery, waiting for the little android, and holding Vol + and Power. Thing is my phone would never get to the little android, just loop on the GOOGLE introduction. Is there another method to factory reset?

Turn your phone off. Then hold power + vol down. It should boot into the boot loader. You'll see a "start" Then use the vol rocker to toggle to recovery. Once there push the power button. You should be in recovery. Then use the vol rocker to toggle to factory reset. Then use power to select it.

Thats the method I'm unable to use...I was hoping there might be a string of code I could type into a command prompt being that I can only turn on the phone into the boot loader.

Try
fastboot reboot recovery
Edit, sorry that's not going to work. Find the stock recovery image. Then try
fastboot boot recovery.img
So I was able to boot in recovery and factory reset, although the problem still persists. I will try and flash all images tomorrow. Thanks for all the help! Happy holidays!
Hello,
My Nexus 5 is locked, stock 4.4.4 and I never attempted to root or anything.
I ended a call and it got stuck, so I hard turned it off by holding the power button. Since that it wont boot, no matter what I do.
It doesn't respond to holding just the power button, and I managed a couple of times to get into fastboot, but whatever option I chose there it just turned back off. Now I can't get it into fastboot. When it was in fastboot, it was recognized as "Android", and now isn't recognized at all (because it's turned off). It also doesn't respond to charging.
I am desperate, please help me!
Thanks.

Is it charged?
Just plug in the charger for sometime and try to turn it on..
If above fails, you need to get into fastboot and first take backup of your sdcard using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51694433
If there is no important data on your sdcard, get into stock recovery and factory reset your device from there.
If you can't get into fastboot mode and nothing is accessible, contact Google if you purchased your device from play store or else LG!

The device is charged, it was 90% when it happened. I can't backup it because it isn't recognized as adb device in the cmd.
I managed to get to the fastboot menu again, but if I choose the recovery mode option it just turns off. Is there another way to force reset it to factory settings?

Are the drivers properly installed on your PC?
Had you enabled USB Debugging? (If you remember then good)
If your device is not recognized, then you can't troubleshoot it. If it's recognized, then you can either use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701
Or get into recovery any how and factory reset.
Just plug in your charger and try again
If above fails, you need to connect Google and RMA your device.
Hello Guys,
My OnePlus One screen broke, it was in my drawer for more than 15 days without charge, i connected charger for 1 hour it just went from 1% to 5% but i didnt thought much about it as my priority was to change screen, i bought touch+lcd with frame and replaced it myself, but it wasnt powering up then i tried putting the backpanel on, it then booted up to the home screen, but the battery indicator wasnt moving up i powered off the phone after that it never turned on, i researched a bit and found out the after long period of time if you dont charge your phone might have problem charging and there was one suggestion which i followed and that was charge OPO using usb cable attached to PC, i left it for somewhat 7hours and it powered on i thought it might be the problem of ROM i flashed official H2OS (regret selecting this rom) using TWRP, it was a catastrophe my phone wont Enter Bootloader or Recovery, and wont even boot to system, it seemed i hardbricked my device, i used Oneplus one recovery tool 64GB to bring my device to life but after that no matter what i do my device wont enter to bootloader as the volume up button stopped working too : tried advance reboot, powerup+volumeup, opo toolkit.
Help me, i want to root my device and unlock bootloader once again.

Is your volume up button actually broken or does it still work and can you boot into something? If it still works (hold on, this idea might be a little crazy xD) you could try completely hard bricking (no joke! you cannot get into Qualcomm download mode with a booting device) and restoring it with the msm8974downloadtool from the oneplus one unbricking guide which should theoretically fix everything that is wrong.

Even If my volume button dosent work then why wont it enter bootloader via advance reboot it just restarts to system after selecting reboot to bootloader,so i should hard brick my device once again, P.S. i have done that twice before though.
Hello, I recently came on a pixel phone to build and use lineageOS on. Upon rebuilding, I believe I performed adb sync wrong the device and damaged system. After that, my adb keys became unauthorized and I am unable to access the bootloader menu(I press power and volume, but phone boots into Bootloop). I tried the steps to get to bootloader menu, but the phone doesn't power completely off, and when I press the power button it gives me the launch screen saying press power to pause/continue boot, not allowing me to go into bootloader
My bootloop goes like this: Bootloader integrity screen(bootloader unlocked, cannot be verified) --> Google loading screen --> Android recovery. This shows 2 options with the message, "Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device". The two options are to try again or data reset.
I press try again, and the same bootloop ensues, sometimes getting to lineage loading logo, but then back to the same recovery error regardless. If I press the buttons(power and vol up), to go into recovery, it just shows an android with a warning sign above it, giving a message saying "Error!" on the bottom. My adb on the computer shows as unauthorized, so I don't know how I can fix this. Google has said the warranty is expired and cannot do anything to help. Ideas to fix? Thanks for help in advance!

I tried that, but whenever I press any button, the phone is never turning completely off unless it dies. Even after that, it goes to the screen showing the secure boot integrity(Press power to continue/stop boot)
How can I completely shut off the device and restart it? And if system is messed up, will that leave my bootloader intact(I'm assuming so as boot is a different partition?)

Does holding down the power button for 5-10 seconds turn it off? Or if you do that does it appear to turn off and then restart?
If that fails to turn it off, try just holding power and volume down for 5 seconds, and if the screen flashes (goes off and then on) let go of the power button but keep holding volume down and hopefully it goes into Fastboot.
That should work unless you have a dodgy power or volume button. The bootloader is completely separate to the boot partition, and the fact that it's doing anything at all suggests that it's still functioning.
Only other option I can think of is trying ADB commands when it's in recovery mode, e.g. adb reboot bootloader. However, if you have the stock recovery, that may not work.

Is ur bootloader unlocked? If so, use twrp to perform a full wipe and install from twrp as well. Of you can't access trwp, and are in a bootloop, do the same thing I did: let the phone lose all it's battery, so it's outta the loop, connect the phone to a charger, then hold power and volume down. This should get you into bootloader mode where you can then use fastboot to flash twrp.
