I have a rooted LG G2 (AT&T) running Android 4.2.2. I rooted it and then tried to install TWRP recovery. After attempting to flash a TWRP image using Flashify, the phone rebooted showing the Android guy with a red triangle (so basically the installation failed). I held down the power button and the phone booted up like normal.
Alright, now later down the line the phone received an OTA update (probably Kitkat). When the phone "booted", the LG logo flashed on the screen and then stayed black (the backlight was still on). If I hold the power button+volume down, the phone will just reboot. Without really being able power down the device, it seems I cannot get into download mode. Also, if I hold down power button+volume down for a long time, the notification LED will blink red (5 times *stop* 5 times...) until I let go.
Eventually I tried the power button+volume down button multiple times, pressing it in different timing intervals and managed to get it into factory reset mode! I followed the prompts but alas the phone will still not boot normally and the screen backlight is still on.
I hope this is the right forum, I need help fast.

Essentially, yes. This isn't a tech support forum. It's simply to help you find what you're looking for or find where to look for further information. Copy and paste your question in there. No need to have this one deleted though.

Hi all,
I am new towards rooting phones and installing Roms. I bought a used Motorola XT910 today and it seemed to have a Korean version of gingerbread installed on it. As soon as I got home I downloaded the first stock Rom I could find on the internet for Asia and installed it on the phone. I followed the instructions in the below mentioned video and the phone is now completely bricked.
I just Googled " how to unbrick motorola xt910" and followed the instructions in the 6:09 video that comes up by RAZRGUY.
I've spent hours and hours on the internet looking for a solution but cannot find any. please help me. I'm getting the message now that I cannot install cos the battery is low. it won't charge and keeps booting up even when I try to shut it down.
Please help!!

I can try to help you as I have an xt912, very similar but there is some difference. My Razr is CDMA/Verizon yours is GSM international.
First of all, when you turn on your phone, how far does it get? Red Moto M, then the bootanimation loops? or does it go from red moto m to black screen?
Hey,
The usual procedure is just to Hard Reset.
To do this, try
Step 1) With the phone off, Press & Hold the VOL UP+ & VOL DOWN- buttons simultaneously then while continuing to hold the VOL UP+ & VOL DOWN- buttons Press and Hold the POWER button till a menu appears.
Step 2) Use the VOL DOWN- button to navigate the menu & the VOL UP+ to select the RECOVERY option.
Step 3) When presented with a logo with an exclamation mark! Press & Hold the VOL UP+ & VOL DOWN- buttons simultaneously to bring up the next menu of options.
Step 4) Use the VOL DOWN- button to navigate the menu & the POWER button to select the Wipe data / Factory reset option.
Step 5) Use the VOL DOWN- button to navigate the menu to confirm this selection. Press the POWER button to begin the Factory Reset. (This may take a few minutes just be patient and wait.
Step 6) Once the task has completed press the POWER button to restart the device.

Or you may want to try manually flashing the original software to reset it back. You could try using flashtool.
Or You could contact the RC Help Chat 24/7

Okay so I have a bit of a situation and looking for some helpful advice, I'm not a complete novice but I seem to have gotten myself VERY stuck.
The Specifications:
Samsung Note 3 (rooted)
TWRP
Safe Strap
Rebooted recently and was in TWRP and accidentally chose "Recovery", phone now continuously Reboots into Recovery Mode in the upper left of the screen. I've tried to do the Volume Up + Power + Home button to no avail and every other combination I can think of, resulting in The same .. Reboot Recovery Option in the top left after about 10 seconds it Vibrates twice and reboots again.
I can't access TWRP, can't access Stock Recovery, Can't plug it into a PC as it just reboots over and over again after it gets power. Read a few things about Fastboot (Don't know if Note 3 Supports that, and Maybe Odin but I can't see how I'm to flash anything if it just immediatly reboots as soon as I plug it in)
HELP!

Hi, I have a S7562L and tried flashing cm-11-20150323-UNOFFICIAL-kylessopen-RC3.zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7562/development/cm11-samsung-galaxy-s-duos-kitkat-4-4-4-t3024762
I have successfully booted up in download and recovery modes, and have also flashed TWRP recovery. Due to bluethooth not operating correctly I deceided to flash back to a stock ROM using ODIN. But now it stays in a bootloop with the glowing "SAMSUNG". I have tried several stock firmwares but same result. I want to try to erase the cache but I can no loger boot into recovery.
Any suggestions on what to try next?

First you should not post this in Android Development forum, Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum is there for this query
Go to downloading mode, then flash stock rom
When whole process is completed and samsung logo is displayed on the screen, take out the battery and place it in again
go to recovery by pressing volume up, down, home and power button and leave it after phone vibrates and shows device model name
factory reset the device from there
This may work for you

Sorry about that I didn't know. (Moderator edit... moved to Q&A)
Anyway I found a way to get in. Instead of pressing the recovery keys from power off, this time when it was in the boot loop I pressed and held the power button and just as it was powering down when the screen went blank, I quickly pressed and held (all four) recovery keys, and that got me in. From there I could the factory reset and wipe the data and caches and all is back to normal now.

Hello All,
This is my first post at this forum.
I've come to a point where I'm on the verge of giving up.
A few days ago my Nexus 5 entered a boot loop without me doing anything special with it - it was just in my pocket.
All see is the google logo for a few seconds , then the screen goes down for a few more, and back to the google logo.
I'm able to go into fastboot by hold down the volume down (only) button when this happens, but the boot loop happens when I choose to boot into recovery mode.
My device has an unlocked bootloader.
I have fast boot access and no ADB (ADB wait-for-device doesn't work).
Went over a tutorial from androidforums.com and flashed a completely new image using fastboot.
The entire process worked, but the phone is still at the same state.
I've read that there is and issue with the power button on these devices - so I tried all methods of knocking it against stuff without success.
I've taken it to a lab nearby and the guy there was sure it was the power button. He said he fixed about 50 of these already - after a few hours he called me up and said he had replaced the power button 3 times and he's giving up.
in short , this is the current situation :
1. Device stuck in bootloop - only google logo is seen
2. can boot into fastboot (and have fastboot access from PC) but can't boot into recovery
3. flushing a stock succeeds but won't help
4. power button seems o.k.
I am about to call this a bricked phone and look for a new one but something inside me tells me that this might still be a software issue and can be fixed.
I would be happy to know if there is a way to know what is failing in the boot sequence. or maybe load a debug application on to the device to check the HW. I've yet to find any help in that direction.
I'm a software eng. working in the cellular comm. field, so I'm up for anything that anyone has in mind.
Thanks,
Ran.

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
It does sound like a hardware issue and it could be the power button, except for one thing: wouldn't a held down power button in fastboot cause a shutdown as well? Maybe not, but I thought I'd ask that.
At any rate, better to get an opinion from someone who actually has the deivce. Please create an account (so you post in other forums) and then post in this thread (can copy and paste from here):

Yesterday i messed up quite a bit with my device Allview viva i7g after i've unlocked my bootloader and accidentaly i put the wrong recovery ( the one i put minutes before flashing the tablet on my olther device which worked just fine) the problem is that i can't access the recovery( as expected) and the device can't go to bootloader without using the adb command.
(belive me i tried all the possible combinations) it can turn on stuck at the logo the device battery can be unlugged very easily so its not a big deal taking it off, and also if i keep pressed vol up and power it goes to a white screen for a few secs.
this is all the info i could think of for now feel free to ask me olther info if you want.
