when you connect your phone in flashmode green light should stay on (press & hold vol down then plug usb in)
it should show
"device connected in flashmode"
IF you want fastboot mode
when you connect your phone in fastboot mode blue light should stay on (press & hold vol up then plug usb in)
NOTE-it should actually do bootloops....not sure why red light

Sometimes flash tool, while flashing tells me to turn on usb debugging (although its already on). So what do I do? Wait. After ten minutes(approx), device disconnects automatically and then flashtool requests me to connect in flash mode. So I disconect my usb cable and connect it again in flash mode and voila! flash begins. Worked for me, hope it works for u too..

yes thats a common mistake
on flashmode connect phone in flashmode only when asked (or like you said ...you will have to do twice)
on fastboot mode your phone has to be connected in fastboot before selecting the fastboot mode

I'm having very similar trouble, i flashed FXP CM10 a little while ago until the phone stopped receiving a signal (which has happened a few times using CM10), unfortunately the battery died before i got home to flash it again. 3 days and 7 hours later and the battery still hasn't charged, i've managed to boot into android very quickly while it's connected to a wall charger but i get nothing at all if i try and connect in flashmode or fastboot.
Is the battery dead? Is there something i'm probably missing? I figured this might go to someway with hoping the OP.
[Edit: Good news! I've plugged into USB and i can get to the battery bar with the power symbol, maybe i can get to flashmode after all!]
[Edit 2:] Noticing the phone had just enough power to get to the battery/power symbol screen, held down the volume button for about a minute till it went through that cycle and managed to get it into flashmode, installed stock and plugged it into the wall. 5 mins later i hit the power button and it's working again! Hooray!

use jim34 cm10 with hsr0 kernel....FXP IS CRAP for daily use

don't connect your phone to the pc until flashtool asks you to. I get that thing sometimes when I reflash a rom or kernel

Damn, wont' even load fastboot!

OK I'm stumped.
I was sick of the OTA updates bugging me so I set about flashing to 4.4.2 on my XT1034. All went along fine till I got to the part where I had to flash system with sparsechunk. It kept giving me a permissions error. I wasn't sure what to do so I decided to try rebooting, clearly that was not the answer. Now my phone shows the unlocked boot loader screen for a few seconds and goes to a black screen. I can tell the screen is on, it's just that the screen itself is showing all black. My computer recognizes that something in there and installs the drivers for the ADB interface and USB composite, but not the MTP device. All commands to adb or fastboot just says waiting for device.
Anyone have any idea?
Edit: Not sure if it makes a difference, but I was on stock 4.3, trying to go to 4.4.2 or in firmware terms...
from Blur_Version.14.14.16.falcon_umts.AWSRetail.en.US
to Blur_Version.172.44.4.falcon_umts.AWSRetail.en.US

If your phone even does not start in fastboot mode then i would say you are pretty much fu***d.

Fastboot Cable?
I just had a thought. I have a fastboot cable from my Droid Razr XT912. I wonder if that might force it into fastboot mode?
I'll have to wait till I get home to try it but I'll update it I make any progress.

Hold power button until phone turns off. Turn phone on while holding volume down.

You have a fastboot cable :fingers-crossed::laugh:
Thats really great!
No my friend, your USB cable will not help you to access fastboot mode.
The first way to access Fastboot is to press Volume Down + Power when the phone is switched off.
The second way to access Fastboot is to boot the phone into Android and then
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
But as you have no operating system on your phone there is only option one for you.
So your fastboot cable will not help you. Try several times to get in fastboot with option one.

No luck. When I power it off it just power's itself back on a few seconds later whether I and holding the power button or not and regardless of if it's plugged in or not. I've tried the following combinations:
power off then hold volume down while it powers itself on
power off then power back on while holding volume down
hold power and volume down till it reboots
All have the same result, reboot, unlocked bootloader screen, blank, windows detects new hardware and tries to install drivers but fails on the MTP

So also if there is no cable connected it switches on itself?
Actually when it comes to the bootloader screen you missed already the fastboot entrance point.
Give it some more tries.

Correct. I'll keep trying :/
Edit: Sweet Jebus it worked! I'm back into fastboot
Thank you so very much!
Could be a coincidence but after taking off my case(otterbox defender) and trying again it worked. Maybe the membrane was causing me to press both volume buttons? Weird but I'll take it.

Glad to hear. Yeah i had also an Otterbox for my HHTC HD2 and i had also this problem.
Now you can go on to restore your Moto G

[Q] hardbricked xt1039

Hi,
Yesterday my peregrine (moto g lte, running CM12 & twrp 2.8.3.0) shut down for no reason and wasn't able to reboot., it just seemed dead.
After pressing volume down + power for about two minutes, it manages to get into fastboot mode.
At this point, it was detected by the PC as Qualcomm USB something but I wasn't home so I let it this way thinking I would be able to restore the stock firmware later.
Today it's completely dead. It's not detected by any PC (linux/windows) and when I plug it into a PC or the wall charger, there is just the LED that lights on.
Is there anything I can do to revive it ? Do you have any leads ?
Thank you in advance guys

Problems with my d6633 Z3 Dual

Hallo people,
I have a very big problem with my d6633. I installed tonight TWRP - so fas, so good. After installing TWRP asked me to root the device, I said YES. My bootloader was unlocked. Then I couldn't exit TWRP. After every reboot the device started into TWRP. Now I can not start the device. I tried with Power+ Volume+, reset button - nothing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.

How much % did it have before you started the procedure?
Did you try holding down vol+ and then plugging it into USB?

Hello Jkay7,
Thanks for your support. My solution was to leave the device switched off over the night. Connected via original cable. Today in the morning my dyouzhengwen evice was detected via flash tool and as youzhengwen suggested I could flash the original ftf file.

Sony Xperia Z3 Dual D6633
I have tried just about every method seen. My problem with the flashtool or PC companion is that the phone is recognized by the computer but I can only start to turn the device on which I don't believe it actually boots. Broken display and new display does not power on.
Or it connects in fastboot by holding volume up when connecting. This shows a blue led.
But trying to connect in flash mode by holding power down just makes the led flash red then green continuously.
And for the pc companion it always says the connection was unsuccessful once the led turns green on the device.
I got the phone for only $40 in this condition. So I cannot say what entirely was wrong or what it's last working state was.
I bought a new screen and power flex cable. As well as a back plate and tempered glass protectors. I was going to wait until everything works perfect speakers and all before I sealed it tight with water proof adhesive stickers.
Even before I bought the new power flex the computer recognized it and the battery health and charge %. The battery was able to charge. But I couldn't turn the device on.
The computer confirmed that it had been at 29% after some time charging and then 100% after leaving it on charge.
Now with the new screen and power cable the phone still does nothing if not plugged it. The light was red at first, but then yellow, then after some time green when the battery fully charged. This was again even before the new parts.
I have to plug it in to try anything.
It goes red then starts to turn on and turns green.
But I hear no sound, get no vibrations, the computer only sees it as the phone and shows absolutely nothing on the removable disk. Just blank when I click on the drive volume. But it is seen as an Xperia D6633 phone or fastboot Android device.
I've tried the reset button, holding power and volume up, volume down, all three. Tried my factory cable. Different cables, different ports, uninstalling it from service manager and letting the flash tool recognize and install it.
I also tried the new display on the old power flex and the old display on the new power flex.
Nothing changed, no vibrations, no sounds, system never actually fully starts as far as I can tell, and cannot connect in flash mode only fast boot. And the flashable file is only seen in flash mode. Fastboot can only see the folder but it is ready to flash files as far as I can tell.

@xdathekilljoy
That's a lot of money you're putting into an (apparently) broken phone Brave!
Okay so what happens if you hold Vol+ while it's shut down and then connect it to USB, the LED turns blue, right?
So why does flashing it from there on not work?

Well it didn't seem that broken at first and both it and the display were only about 37 piece. Power flex was almost 10. Seemed like a rightful price.
Yes the led turns blue and it is in fastboot mode. The flash file seems to only be readable for flashing in flash mode "volume down". I can see the folder of the flash file in fastboot mode " volume up ", but not in a flashable format.
And when connecting " volume down " it fails a connection while the led just flashes green to red to green to red continually

Two updates
1. I thought I should mention that when I do plug the phone in to a charger or computer the top does get a bit warm or hot as well as the led turns on. Different color depending.
2. With much fiddling and trying if holding the volume down button for different lengths of time while connecting up a computer I finally got it to connect in flash mode and flashed a file...... No change.
At this point maybe I should try a new battery for the hell of it even though this one seems to be working.
Or there is a minute hardware damage somewhere. Maybe the power ic? Or s capacitor?

Help - my honor 8 was block - No access Fastboot Mode or Debugging Mode

Hello,
I downgraded my Honor 8 via Rollback and installed the Rom FRD-L09C432B131.
But my phone is stuck on the blue Android startup screen.
I can not use the Volume +, Volume - or Power buttons.
All I can do is let it turn off by itself when the battery is at 0%.
When I put it on, it turns on by itself. Arrives on a blue screen. Reboot once and then stays eternally on the blue screen while heating up enormously.
I have no access to the Recovery, erecovery or via the computer (by plugging it into a USB port).
Thanks

Once your phone turns off, press power button amd volume up button together. This should take you to recovery. Or you can't access this at all?

I can not turn off my phone. It goes off when the battery is at 0%.
If I put on USB or mains, it recharges and restarts automatically. And I can not stop it ...
When I plug it into a USB port, the Power, Volume + or Volume buttons are ineffective.
And when it's plugged into the PC, it does not show up!
So I do not have access ... except perhaps by a software that would force the connection ... or a manipulation other than Power / Volume ..

When I say reboots, it is a program to display the Android blue screen and hangs on it!

does it say android or honor?
going to dload is kinda tricky sometimes and should be done when connected to wall adapter, not pc
can you keep vol- and power pressed while your phone is connected to pc. keep them pressed even after the phone restarts. dont let go. it might take some time. does it go to fastboot?

He can't even boot to recovery.
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs

Ohhh, sorry my bad

dats prolly because he has mismatched files for the os he's running. he should deffo check if he can go to fastboot. the fact that he cant go to dload doesnt really mean anything because i cant do it either 40% of the time. its a bit iffy. the fact remains, if it boots to honor logo, means some type of os is up there. if he can go to fastboot he can flash stock recovery/recovery2 and try dload again. without proper recovery combo he wont be able to flash anything anyways and warranty prolly wont cover it since its users fault, esp if he has unlocked warning.

Thank you :laugh:

Similar to me, only way is go into bootloader mode, then charge the phone for awhile, you cant do nothing cuz of 0% battery, flash stock recovery, update via dload or direct wifi recovery.

He can't go to fastboot

if he completely bricked it, he'd be stuck at black screen/android logo, not honor logo. either he's not telling us everything (ran out of juice while upgrading / error while flashing / flashing wrong rom), there is no chance all key partitions got wiped if the process finished successfully. meaning at least he should be able to fastboot cause thats the first thing flashing alongside bootloader. no way any type of system partition is up there, and bl/fb is not, even if they are from a different OS. h8 can be stubborn at times, but keeping the cable in pc and holding vol_down+power for good 20s deffo will force it to at least reboot. thats the only way. if this doesnt work, you should take it to a service center.

I guess it's better if he takes it to the service center

Nothing works. So I have to send it to the service center

Thank you all !
