Hi, this situation is kind of strange and I hope it's just the battery and not the whole goddamn phone.
What I'm dealing with at the moment is:
The phone doesn't boot
When plugged onto charger or USB cable it boots but stuck at Google logo after a blink and stays there. Also, Home, Back and other buttons are lighten.
When "forcefully" put into fastboot mode, e.g. after plugging it onto USB and instantly pressing Vol Up + Power it stuck there as well, volume rocker no more response neither does the power button. Also, I notice there are no commands at the end like "USB int" etc we see normally.
Fastboot or ADB returns no device found
Please help. I personally believe it could be due to battery, what do you guys think?
Thank you.
As long as you can see the google logo, your device is not bricked. GIve more useful information; like your computer operating system, the last thing you did before this happened, etc.

Thanks. My OS is Windows 8.1 Update 1. The last thing was to install UPDATE-SuperSU to root so that I can install ROM Manager to update Recovery but the installation was aborted so I attempt to flash it via Fastboot with success. Then, wanted to install SlimKat but it couldn't let me mount USB storage so that I can put the .zip file. I, then stupidly click on install via ADB but didn't know how to go back so I pulled the battery and powered up; used ADP push command to transfer said the file, but again for some reason I had to pull the battery and since then I am in above position.

Put the device in bootloader and plug it into the computer, be patient, my phone is rather slow to get detected sometimes.. (Up to 30 min.) Check your drivers on the computer, try rebooting the boot loader from just pressing the power button (while in boot loader mode)..
If all else fails, read up on Wugs NRTK page and about ODIN...

Hi, device doesn't go into bootloader without plugging it to computer (I've to press required buttons BEFORE plugging OTG cable). And when it boots in fastboot mode it doesn't let me press any button either. I kept it plugged in for sometime as well when it when it was at Google logo; will try to do the same while in fastboot mode too and let you know. As for drivers, same computer was used before when it was working and it detected just fine immediately (gave me a pain to find the right drivers though - PDANet was a life saver).
EDIT:
I should mention that I broke the OS before this happened by formatting /system folder and wiping other data from CWM recovery - I think, I also rebooted it without flashing the ROM as well.

I recently had to update my drivers on my computer.. after it did an update, my phone wasn't recognized..
Try Wugs Nexus Root Toolkit,.. use the options for "bricked".. do this from the bootloader screen (power/volume +)...
I don't have experience with ODIN, so you'll need to read that forum/threads...

The problem is, even the Toolkit doesn't recognize the device no matter what. Even the keys for ODIN don't work, aren't they Home+VOL+ and Power?
EDIT1:
Kept plugged in for little longer as suggested but it heats up (it's too hot here) so I plugged out. Going to be running it off of Linux and lets see how it goes. :fingers-crossed:
EDIT2:
Tried Adam's UnBrickable method on Linux and even that couldn't find device. But that was to be expected since Adam clearly mentioned in his post that this tool isn't for those who see anything on their screen.
Whelp! Currently I can only see I:\ drive in device manager and that's all under portable devices and that's all. I see the same even in BIOS boot options, it's listed as "Google".
Guess need to close this thread now.

Phone will not switch on ...
Tried unlocking the boootloader following instructions from the Sony website,
after "sucessfully" unlocking the bootloader in flashboot mode the phone got stuck in a boot loop.
Eventually stopped the phone boot looping by pressing all the buttons at the same time, have now found out it is the two volume buttons and the power button, then the phone did not switch on at all, tried connecting and holding volume button etc, to USB but all that comes up in device manager is "unknown device" and the flash tool does not recognise it in any mode, found out that holding the power button down for five minutes reboots the phone. Then flashed with above firmware and ended up in another bootloop, holding the up volume and power button makes the phone vibrate once then three times, let go after one and then you can get into flashmode, this time I flashed the latest firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2762296 and it worked.

D2305_18.0.A.1.30_Global Generic by Sai Arkar←This FTF file is most important
Help please?
Hi man, I need your help urgently... I tried flashing kernel image to my Xperia M2 D2303, but I got impatient as recovery mode wasn't coming on and I did in in fastboot mode instead. Now it's stuck on boot loop and the screen only flashes. I can't get it to connect to my computer either, my computer just doesn't recognize it anymore. So, I can't flash anything on to it to recover it now either, and I tried putting files into my SD card to restore from but those files won't show when I try to download from zip using Clockwork Mod. What should I do?
Update
I tried to flash a custom rom into it, but even though I remember turning USB debugging on, it seems it's off. And plus, the drivers link you gave don't include the Xperia m2 drivers.
It would not connect to Flash modehttp://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.com/2/9/8/5/4/7/8/NewPicture002.jpg?key=xzdzp41r6BQtbbijWRPtQA&ts=1414307092

Using CM12 Lollipop ROM and Thunderzap 4.7 kernel. I want to return to stock ROM, so I tried flashing it via both Sony PC Companion repair and Flashtool. However, no matter whether I press Vol Up or Vol Down during the boot, it always enters Recovery. Any way I could access Flashmode? Or am I missing some step I should do before attempting to flash?
1st you have to read document about flashing properly. Read twice. You must not start phone after switch off it. Just start flashtool on PC. And you have to press volume down button and insert USB cable simultaneously. Don't switch on your phone. It will led your phone into flash mode. Green light will blink once in notification light area.

Hi,
I want to falsh stock rom on my Xperia L (Unlocked bootloader)
But while using flashtool I am stuck on flashmode. I tried removing phone holding vol down button and then connected to PC but flashtool is still showing the same window of connecting in flashmode
I have installed the ADB drivers correctly. dont know what to do next
When Flashtool asks to connect your device, be sure that you phone is powered off (for at least 30 seconds) then press Volume down and connect the USB cable. Release Volume button when Flashtool starts to work.

Tried that also still no luck....Installed drivers from C:/flashtool/drivers/.exe..... both flashboot and flashmode (both at a time and single at time also) tried to change the port and cable also(used htc cable btw) and tried in different pc also
but still no luck
I was trying to flash BlissPop. It didn't flash. So, I decided to flash fastboot image of CM11s 44.
I issued this command :
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot reboot-bootloader
The flash sbl1 command gave an error.
I rebooted bootloader. The phone turned off, but it never turned on.
I don't know how could it brick my phone, because I've done it a few times without any error.
My battery was on 65% when I was doing all this. So, I don't suspect battery has died.
But, I'm charging the phone anyway. There is no lead, but the power bank shows that battery is taking charge.
When I connect the phone to PC, it shows no signs of any device connected. Device manager doesn't show any thing/any refresh.
I've tried to push the power button for about a minute for 5 times, as 1+1 site says.
I've tried vol up + power and vol down + power buttons. It doesn't boot it.
I've no access to fastboot, recovery, OS, anything.
Please, suggest me solutions.
Did you flash the firmware updates before you flashed bliss? There is a toolkit out there, linked in bliss thread, on how to unbrick. I'll see if I can't find it.

Thanks. I looked at it.
But, as you said I can't do anything till the phone turns on even once.
BTW, I highly suspect battery drain, because I was in TWRP for long to take backup, flashing MultiROM, etc. TWRP is known to not allow charging, as reported by some people.
Can you tell me whether flashing sbl1 could have bricked it or not? It didn't fail to flash in past and it never caused problem.
I had flashed CM12 firmware update before flashing BlissPop. Could reflashing CM11s fastboot image over it cause problem. I think it should not, because fastboot image replace all things. What's your opinion?
Had the same problem. Try first leave it charging for 12 hours after that plug it in. Then get into fastboot this is not easy. Just hold vol up and power together for atv least 5 Sec.
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
I guess its possible. But I would do what falastine said. Charge it for some time. With a soft brick it may not show anything on the screen but could actually be on. So be patient trying to get the toolkit to find the phone. I've heard in another thread someone's phone did in fact connect but nothing was on the screen
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
any progress on this? i think the exact same thing happened to me. was trying to flash back to CM11s using fastboot, but it died. now i dont get anything at all. no response to the chrager, or the computer or anything.
ive tried holding the power button, holding the vol keys with the pwr button, but no avail.
let me know if you figured it out!

I left the phone in charge for 24 hours using original charger and wire.
Tried long presses for multiple times - nothing happens.
Tried vol up/ vol down combinations with power button for long nothing happens.
I am now waiting for 12 hours and then will plug it again, as some thread said.
In between I'm trying to download a tool from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tool-oneplusrecovery-tool-v1-0-restore-t2991851
I hope it detects my phone.

So this is how i did it.
1. install the drivers from OPO (located in the .zip file from this tool https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/t...ks-etc.237827/ )
2. Open your device manager (Start - right click on computer - properties - devices manager)
3. Press on power + vol up for like 10 sec until you see a device showing up (called QHSUSB_BULK)
4. Download the qualcomdriver ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/vgujdut93m341qm/Qualcomm 2012.rar?dl=0 ). Right click on this devices and click on "Update Driver Software" -> "Browse my computer for driver software" -> locate the Qualcomm 2012\fre\Windows7 8 or vista folder depending on your setup. Update the driver.
5. Now the OPO tool should recognize your device. I turn off all my network connections so the usb device can't find other drivers. (in case windows overwrite the driver).

The hard part is that I could not get the phone detected by PC as anything.
I followed the same key combination which you mentioned. It doesn't help.
Can you tell me if battery is totally depleted, will it be possible for phone to be detected?
I've tried to charge my phone with various chargers and power banks. The battery stays cold, the charger stays cold, power bank blinks and get depleted, but phone is not vibrating even on long press.
I've tried on virtual PC, a XP machine. And on other real XP PC.

Even if your battery is depleted it should get detected in your machine when u press volume up and power while its connected to your pc.hold it for a minute this combination should show something also keep your pc volume up to hear any port connect discconect sounds.If this doesnt happen then your hardware is dead no other option but try to give it to opo for service.
So, nothing ever comes on the screen? Does the phone vibrate if you hold the power button for 20 seconds? If so, this might be of help, if it sounds like it's bricked: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732

Switch off the device. Then hold volume up and down buttons and insert the USB cable plugged to PC. You will get to download/odin mode

Download mode is different from fatboot mode, I can enter, and works ok download mode. However, fastboot does not, it gets stuck in entering fastboot mode and no fastboot command works
I got same issue here, I've tried rooting via TWRP and after data wipe and "reboot to recovery" it got stuck in same thing and doesn't move at all, if I hold power and vol down it just boots the device which i dont want since i need to flash magisk as a last step. if anyone encountered this or knows how to fix it i'd be helpful
I'm not rooted but I've had past Samsung devices that I was able to root and if I'm not mistaken Samsung phones aren't able to boot into fastboot mode because Samsung removed the ability to. You can run commands via ADB mode but I think that's about it

Thanks Man. This worked.
Since we can"t enter into fastboot mode is it possible to flash boot.img with adb commands?
I m having the same problem with a21s(a217f). I can t enter download mode using key combinations and the other way launching it from recovery doesn t work, it stays stuck at,, entering fastboot mode,,
The ROM is already bricked, it says in recovery when i try to factory reset the following error:,, can t mount. /system (structure needs cleaning)
Even with,, apply up. with adb,, doesn t work, it just doesn t get detected on my computer when i checked with adb tools.
! The only thing that works is that I can access my sd card and apply a update from sd card but I don t know where to get the update file. (I ll edit if it works to flash stock rom from,, apply update from sd card,, )
Anybody got some ideas or should i burn my motherboard and replace it?
sorry for bad english
Honestly plug device into PC.
Power off device
hold all 3 side buttons. Volume up and down and power/bixby.
Should usually work.
After in fast boot you must press a button Volume button to find via odin.

I already did that, unplugged the battery, reconnected it after 1min, connected my phone to the computer and pressed all 3 side buttons, still doesn t work. I guess the download mode is deleted or something..
Volume up & down, no side key, then connect to PC. Works for me. Connect to PC first does not work for me.

It wouldn't be deleted as it's a safety protocol if the device has a bad update and freaks out.
Maybe try to person above method.
Normally I can enter download mode with any of these methods if you cannot I'd suggest trying to get the device replaced due to software malfunction

Samsung phones use a tool called Odin to flash firmware. If you're flashing custom firmware firmware you'll need to have your bootloader unlocked.
I got mine into download mode just now. It's a Galaxy A13 .. Like stated above, try to hold all three buttons down and connect to USB. I had to let go before it showed the battery charge icon. From off. If not from off try from charging. I think that's what I did just now. Plug the usb -> let it show the charging icon (from powered off!) -> hold all three buttons, let it power on, let go. DONE.
just follow this video it helped me a lot to unlock my boot loader
