[Q] Hard brick - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just had a bootloop changing dalvik to art. Then it shutdown suddenly and there is no way to turn it on, i can't access to recovery or download mode, and it isn't recognized by the computer. Sorry for my english... Any advice?
I had the Nexus g beta 4 rom, with a clean installation, and it works fine with dalvik

Sure that the Battery is not completely drained?

According to Motorola Mobility, the solution to a fully discharged battery not restarting is to plug it in to charger and press & hold the power button for 18+ seconds, when the battery should resume charging.

Did you do anythigh else than switching to ART? I am asking, because you cannot brick your phone with ART. When you turn the phone on, it first runs the bootloader, the bootloader loads the kernel and only after that is the ROM loaded, which is the step where ART can cause problems.
In short - there is no way ART could have done anything to the bootloader or the kernel and thus it couldn´t have bricked the phone.

The phone get stuck into bootlop a lot of time when I changed to art. After that It shutdown, ¿0% battery? I don´t know but now I cannot turn it on anyway...
The battery can be the problem but, freeze It...? Would it affect to the moisture indicator?

Try pressing 45 secons button power until to device power on, after entry to CWM and restore backup or Stock ROM.

[Q] HTC One s wont boot

Hi, I am new to the forum as a member, although i have been on here before browsing. Think its excellent and helped me alot with my old htc.
My phone went completely dead today, for some reason it wouldnt take charge from my car charger. I got home and charged the phone, it switched itself on, but wont get past the HTC ONE splash screen. I have rebooted it several times.... any ideas?

You going to need to charge it for half hour or more before you want to start messing with stuff.

Its not rooted, just tried the recorvery option in bootloader, but that just came up with a phone picture with an exclamation mark.
When it stalls, if you hit the power button the bottom keys continually flash. :s
I hope i can get back into this phone as i have alot saved on it!

Try the factory reset option. Your data will still be there afterwards you will just have to setup the phone again.
If you haven't rooted the phone or unlocked the bootloader it's best you stop trying to fix it yourself before you blow your warranty. Try the factory reset and if it doesn't work start calling and trying to get a replacement.
Also, all questions go into the Q & A forum.
Hold the power and volume down buttons until the phone turns off and reboots itself into the bootloader. Then factory reset from here.

Factory reset in recovery? Might be worth a try putting one file on the storage and doing a reset through recovery. I doubt it though, since it removes locking and if it didn't wipe out would give access to all your photos and documents.

Same happened about a week ago here. Got stuck whilst trying to connect to a wireless network. Went into a boot loop. Managed to wipe it but I lost all of my data. Only happened once though.

boot loop - can't navigate bootloader to get into recovery mode

hi there,
I'm running CM11 nightly late feb. For no apparent reason my phone went into a boot loop this morning (n.b. I didn't flash a new rom or installed a new app). Now it constantly reboots (literally) and doesn't get further than the CM11 boot video or google logo.
If I press volume down and power, it will head into bootloader - but - I can't navigate beyond 'shut down' or 'restart bootloader'. It doesn't execute two consecutive volume up or down commands. In other words, it's impossible to get into recovery mode. Also, because my phone doesn't boot further than the video or logo, I can't make a fastboot or adb connection via my laptop.
Does anybody know how I can fix this issue? I'm clearly running out of luck. Many thx in advance!
reflash recovery?
Try to boot into recovery with cmd: fastboot boot TWRP.img (TWRP or your current custom recovery)
Then restore a nandroid backup or wipe data/system/dalvik
You can still flash the factory images. Fastboot mode is enough. Guide

Stuck power button. Mash the power button really fast for 20 seconds to unstick whatever is in there.

can't flash anything, because phone is constantly rebooting. Have opened up the phone and took the battery out for 1 minute. Didn't help either. After starting up the phone I get stuck in the boot loop again.
Anyone else an idea?

The phone doesn't reboot in the bootloader right?
If it doesn't either do what primokorn said or flash the factory image.

Well the issue is that it only stays for a fraction of a second in bootloader, which gives it enough time to navigate one step up or down. Not enough time to get into recovery.
How can I do what Primoken said? It doesn't seem to be possible to do a flash when the phone is constantly rebooting?
Thx for helping me out guys, much appreciated!

Have you ever kept your phone in narrow pocket? Because it's definitely sounds to me like a stuck power button.

It's not a power issue. Also unscrewed my phone to see if that was what caused it. Nothing in there, mechanism functioned correctly.
UPDATE: For some reason my phone booted up out of nothing. I managed to flash an older ROM via CM Updater (through settings)- which seemed to work. Apps were updated and it was running normally. But after a couple of minutes it restarted out of the blue and now back to square one again.
Guess there's a chance I'll probably get a normal start up soon. Is it a good idea to do a factory whipe restart through the settings menu? Or is Primokorn's method safer?

Stuck. Can't do anything

I have flashed a rom yesterday, today I switched to ART and now it's in a loop.
It says app can't be started and it says a million time. After like five minutes its rebooting.
Can anyone help?
Ugh, I miss me replaceable battery, that was in my HTC sensation.
Thanks

Hold power and volume down for a minute let it reboot into bootloader, choose recovery and reflash your zip. ART isn't compatible with somethings (Xposed framework) or the ROM/Kernel don't like it (happens sometimes)

Does this also work for safe mode? it seems I am in safe mode :')
And a minute? It'st that too long?
Thanks
EDIT:
THANKS SOLVED. it wasn't working first.
Yup will work in safe mode also, a minute is the official time, it usually does it in about 20-30seconds.

Do you now I I can change back to Dalvik in Recovery mode or something?
EDIT:
Found something
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/to-dalvik-art-flashable-zip-t2673457
There is a zip file in the Xposed thread to revert, however it's just as easy to dirty flash your ROM again as it'll reset it back to Dalvik for you.

Nexus 5 Will Not Power On, Possibly Hard Bricked?

First of all-mods, feel free to move this if it needs to go somewhere else.
Anyway, I just flashed Cyanogenmod 11, after rebooting from recovery after flashing the zip, I get nothing but a black screen. Now here's the odd part- it is recognized by Windows when plugged in as "LG Android USB Device." I have tried everything to hard reset it but nothing works. My gut feeling tells me its hard-bricked but just figured I'd see what everyone thinks. Any input is appreciated!

No matter what i do, nothing shows on the screen, so no. Oddly,when its plugged into my computer, Windows makes noises when it connects and disconnects.
Problem resolved. Finally after hours of trying to hard reset it, it has booted into the bootloader. Back to stock Android we go!

Bootloop after flashing TWRP

I wanted to install a custom Rom on my Nexus 5 running Android 6.0 so I downloaded TWRP latest and unlocked the Bootloader and installed TWRP.
Now the OS doesn't boot up anymore and the TWRP starts but gets rebooted all the time, and TWRP does not seem to be able to mount anything. When it reboots it looks like it automatically goes to the TWRP where it says it is running OpenRecoveryScript but it is unable to mount anything. I tried a boot start to Recovery and it worked but when I tried a factory reset it says the same thing.
I'm worried my phone will die and have further issues, I need help as soon as possible.

No way to stop the infinite boot loop, quickly the recovery mode, fast boot and Google logo flash before my eyes without giving me any chance to reflash or do absolute nothing !
buaaaahhh ahhhhh .... And I renewed 2 weeks ago with a brand new battery and flex cable buaaaaaa

It could be, indeed that was my first thought as time ago it used to happen. But I've been trying as a maniac the not less maniac solution of hitting it softly and spasmodically as it turns on, but no success. Such solution it used to work, now it does not.
Currently, desperation makes me think of desperate (probably fool) solutions like unplug the battery to see if that so called "cache" wipes My lovely hammerhead currently open .....but does not look better

Ok, it looks like a f******* and annoying incredible coincidence, right after the flash, the power button arises !! BUT my last test looks like that's the problem :: While rebooting forever, I just keep the VolumeDOWN button pressed and it tries to enter the fast boot menu, as it the power certainly already pressed.
Now that I have the hammerhead open, I'll google to seek how to consistently fix that annoying problem.

Thanks a lot for your answer. I managed my self thru it yesterday, using mainly these 2 YouTube videos

(Sorry for the partial link; not allowed to post external urls)
Which basically explain about opening the Nexus 5 Hammerhead, get right to the damn sticky power button, clean it right and manipulate it a little bit with a lady tweezers in order to "unstick" it.
I've already mange thru these nearly 3 years to keep my great hammerhead alive ! Replacing its flex cable, battery, now manipulating the sticky button ....I do not know how much life is left for it but GOD SAVE THE HAMMERHEAD !
Thanks to you all
