Its pretty hard to delete a bootloader, unless your fxzing. But that isnt your case, just simply hold down the power button for 10 seconds and release, then hold volume up and down and power button once again to enter fastboot and problem solved

The problem won't be solved. You will still not have an os. Flash the factory image in fastboot and start over

[Q] Bricked Nexus 5

Hello
I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2507905 to root my new Nexus 5 and flashed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2528265 onto it, when I tried to boot it up it got stuck in the boot animation so I rebooted into recovery and wiped the data, cache partition and the dalvik cache and tried to boot it up and encountered the same problem so I went to reboot and it wont boot back up not even to the bootloader and when I plug it into my pc its unrecognized and wont even show charging animations
Did I brick my new phone?

Then it is bricked , but I don't really understand how could fromating data, cache and dalvik cache destroy the bootloader . There must be something wrong those recoveries, because you are not the only one
Did you ever check the md5 of the rom you flashed? It could have been a corrupted download
does your bootloader work? hold the vol up/down and power on boot. if u can get to the bootloader u can save it with wugs nexus tool.

If you can get into bootloader you can save it without a tool kit.
Do this if u can't go into recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513937
But if u are able to go into recover, just flash any other rom, make sure you before flashing u do a factory data reset, and after finished wipe cache/dalvik always so u dont go into bootloops.
Through some miracle I was able to get to the bootloader (sat there and held the vol and power buttons for like 3 minutes while my pc dinged and donged as it disconnected and reconnected) but I'm unsure of what to do now. Should I keep trying to load a custom rom on it or just go back to stock? and either or how am I going to get the rom on the internal storage as its still not being recognized by my pc (but I do have fast boot access)

Glad to hear you're back up and running. Google md5 checksum and make sure the roms you download are good. I think that was your problem
Done this to my Nexus 7.. something went wrong when flashing the Rom and ended up somehow cocking up my drivers aswell.. Weird one.
Glad to hear your back up and running buddy.

The 3 button combination in order to start the phone in Recovery Mode (where wipe options are) should be volume UP + home + power.
Avoid the volume DOWN combination because that is for Download Mode.
Try start in Recovery Mode several times because sometimes the proper combination timing is not detected.
If really the phone can't start in Recovery Mode, you should flash the official firmware again via Odin, following the procedure with caution. An important, sometimes overrated action related to flashing via PC is that any antivirus (firewall mainly) must be turned off before the flashing procedure, in order to avoid (invisible) conflicts when transfering data through USB ports.

First of all the boot up loop is caused because you have not wiped the cache and dalvik cache (may be).
Since the recovery is not booting means, there is some error with flashing.
What you can do right now is to flash the Original Stock Rom using Odin, the original stock OS itself contains the recovery partition.

YU Yureka with no OS stuck on a Bootloop and unable to enter recovery mode.

Hey guys!
So, i was trying to install CM13 unofficial version, and wiped the system and internal storage using TWRP recovery. I was supposed to install the rom from a zip file i had placed in the external memory card. What i did, was, i rebooted the phone by mistake, after wiping it from the recovery without installing the ROM and now the phone is caught in a bootloop. I know i am an idiot to do that. I tried removing the battery and reboot it in recovery mode using the key combination with no luck. It just starts the boot loop. I tried using fastboot and adb from pc to push files into the internal memory, but my device is not getting detected on the adb anymore (maybe the usb debugging is disabled now?).
What i guess is stopping TWRP recovery from showing up is the lack of twrp/themes folder in the internal memory since i wiped it. But there might be some other cause that i am unaware of. What do i do now? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Hey! I'm having the same problem with my yu yureka.. Can anyone help me please!

Hi! I'm having the same problem with this post... Does anyone knows the solution of this problem. I'd be really glad if anyone could help me with this..please!
Hey are you able to boot into fastboot mode? If you can....
Prerequisites –
1. Make sure that you have 70-80% battery on your phone.
2. You need a PC and a USB cable to connect your phone to the PC.
3. Flashing the factory firmware will wipe all the data present in the internal memory. So, make a backup of that if you can.
4.Install all the necessary Device drivers.
DOWNLOADS -
1. Download the flash tools from here . http://www.mediafire.com/download/87gfz7mdch188an/Flashtools_For_Yu_Yureka.zip
2. Download the factory firmware from Here (cm 12.1) . http://builds.cyngn.com/factory/tomato/cm-12.1-YOG4PAS3JM-tomato-signed-fastboot.zip
Steps To Flash Factory Firmware –
1. Extract the flashtools zip in a new folder on the desktop.
2. Extract the factory firmware zip in the same folder and make sure that all of the flashtools files are also present.
3. Now, power off your phone. If you are stuck in a bootloop, then pull out the battery and reinsert it. (Do not switch on the phone.)
4. While pressing the Volume Up key, connect your phone to the PC with the help of a USB cable.
5. You should now see the fastboot logo on your device. If you did, leave the Volume Up key. (If you do not see the logo, retry the process.)
6. Now go to the folder where you extracted the flash tools and factory firmware and run the flash-all.bat by double clicking on it.
7. A command window will open and the flashing procedure will start. (Make sure that your device does not disconnect from your PC during the procedure.)
8. The command window will automatically close once the procedure is completed.
9. Disconnect your device and boot it up by pressing the Power button. (Since this is first boot after flashing the firmware, it may take upto 5 minutes.)
Done you should be back on cm 12.1

I flashed the factory image via YGDP tool as well as fastboot. But it boots upto a point and then goes in bootloop. Also if i wipe data/cache still it makes no difference. Also unlocked bootloader and twrp also don't load up. Again goes in bootloop.

Sorry to hear that anyway,
By stock lolipop you mean you had the yureka plus with Volte From factory right!!...if so the twrp might have been for the yureka plus with the cm bootloader which got replaced in the new Devcice
I am facing the same problem and in my case I dont think its an battery issue...I was happily using the CM 13.0 Snapshot Rom since a long time...but today morning when I did a soft reset by going into the settings in my yureka...the phone has gone in bootloop...and nothing is working...using fastboot I even flashed the twrp again and also flashed the CM 12.0 Stock firmware..but nothing is working...after the YU logo it restarts....please help...
I am also facing problem maybe worst
I dont know what wrong I am doing but I am getting "FAILED (remote: unknown command)".
Few info:
1. I get my device ID when I do "fastboot devices" but nothing on fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem device-info".
2. Also for my YU5510A fastboot screen doesnt say' "fastboot" it says "Information do not unplug the cable - Secure Phone".
3. I have red light on, phones keeps rebooting 4-5 times than red light goes off and charging stops.

Ignore that and use other fastboot commands and go ahead, as your device is being detected in fastboot mode.

But when I am executing other fastboot commands it halts the process between with error "FAILED (remote: unknown command)".
I have read about this error and people suggested that I need to get into "Download mode" not "fastboot/bootload". To get into "download" mode I tried pressing "VoulumeDown+Power+Home", but nothing happened, it simply restarted the phone.
Please advise.

MetroPcs SCH-R530m

So I manage to unbrick my phone without a computer. I already had c11 ROM on it. I forgot to wipe factory and wipe partition. I end up flashing a new ROM on top of my old one. When it reboot. It got suck on the bootload screen. Not actually stuck like just a loading bootload screen. It constantly boot flash on and off. Like the phone is turning off and back on. It never stayed on. So I took out the battery. Put it back in. Tried turning it on again. It did the same thing. So I hold down the power button+ volume up+ home key. This give you the adba to connect to the computer. When it comes up don't press up to connected to the computer. Press down to cancel. Once you cancel it will reboot again and you will be rebooting normally. Don't know if it was a soft brick or a hard brick but it worked..
Oh thanks, I didn't know There was a Volume down button to function as "not to connect" to the computer. Thanks. First I thought you were just posting about your problem. The solution came to me as a surprise.
anytime
No prob anytime.. I wonder if they will continue to build ROM for the SGS3. Because it does have 2gb of ram. Which still have more than some of the new phones. There owners who still love and cherished the SGS3.
OK so found out why it went into a boot loop. Some how I manage to delete stock recovery. While I tried to install twrp. I installed the wrong version and it did not take. So it malfunction causing it to bootloop. I reinstall twrp with the newest verison. It work.. It replaced the stock cwm and place the twrp in its place. Now I have recovery and no boot loop. Problem fix..
Sent from my SCH-R530M using XDA-Developers mobile app
So if you having boot loop and can't get to your recovery mode. Download twrp. Go install. Select your device. A list of twrp version will appear. Select the first which is the newest version. Hit install. Once it download. Its ask to install. Hit yes and then it will ask to reboot.. Hit yes. Your phone will reboot into twrp recovery with a new look and touch buttons. Instead of the factory mash up or down and power button for select.
Sent from my SCH-R530M using XDA-Developers mobile app
After you done this make sure you have a back up file with this new twrp as your recovery on sdcard. Hit wipe cache,data and dalvik.. Then restore file.. There you all fixed..
Sent from my SCH-R530M using XDA-Developers mobile app
This is for those who don't know how to use terminal emulator. Most don't know the commands. But in terminal you can hit su, then grant permission. Hit wipe and it will tell you what choice. Such as data, system or dalvik. But you have to clarify your command. It will wipe you phone and sdcard. Then restore you phone. But it won't restore the boot loop. Cause of the file either missing, corrupt or not there. It will continued to boot loop until you reinsall you new recovery mode. Any question contact me and I will respond back as soon as possible

Do clean flash. Start from step 14.
Recommend to install MIUI 12, boot into MIUI to make sure your phone works well with SIM card readable.
After phone successfully booted into MIUI, then you can flash custom ROMs.
