Ok, here's where I'm at...
Rooted/Kexec installed
Flashed several ROM's over the last two weeks or so with no issue.
Never did a backup and restore.
Flashed a CM10 Invisitek(?) ROM today and didn't like it.
Before I flashed it, I made a backup of my XTC install.
Tried to restore that XTC and it failed.
Tried to restore again and it said that it passed and I rebooted.
Now, when you turn the phone on, it will boot up to Samsung Custom with a lock icon then flash the Samsung Galaxy SIII screen.
Once it flashes the second screen, it will go to a blank screen and that's it.
I've tried to get the phone into Download mode by pressing both volume keys, home and power at the same time and it boots as described above.
Any nudges in the right direction? :fingers-crossed:

No I can't unless I'm missing something other than power/volume up and down/home button at the same time...
try this instead press all three at the same time volume up, home, and power

If you have a custom rom still on your sd card, try booting into recovery volume up+home+power and wipe data/ factory reset and then install zip from sdcard.choose your rom and flash.. that should be able to get you to boot up again. I had to do this when my phone would boot up and go blank after the sgs3 logo screen.
Do those two ROMs use different kernels? Because if that's the case, there's your problem. To my knowledge, CWM doesn't backup kernels, so restoring a nandroid wouldn't restore the kernel needed for that particular ROM to function. At least, that's how it was for my old Xperia Play. You needed to flash the new kernel before the ROM to ensure it would boot. With kexec, that's a little different.
But, I could be totally off base. Just throwing my limited knowledge out there for someone to maybe expound upon.
sorry you thru me off in your post above i thought you saying that you pressing all four my mistake but you can go here http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels= and for the channel use either #verizons3 or #verizons3-dev, they can also help you but of course stay on this thread to.

It makes sense for some phones, but it doesn't make sense that you're unable to get into download mode. Regardless of the incorrect kernel, you should be able to get into download/recovery mode. What is your device registered as when you plug it into your machine (such as QHSUSB_DLOAD)? Are you running Windows/Mac/Linux?
If your phone turns on you can get to Odin. Your best bet is making a usb jig. It's a special usb end that has 300k ohm resistor between two pins of the usb. When plugged in and the phone turns on it puts you directly into download mode. You can Google on how to make one from a usb cable and resistors from Radio Shack or mobiletechvideos.com sells them for $8.
Once in download/Odin mode you can re flash everything to stock.

This is your best bet if nothing else is working. I bought one from China on eBay last year for my GNex. I'm glad I've always got it.
Yea, I ended up having to jig it this morning when I got to the office and had access to my other tools. THAT got it into Download mode and allowed me to flash it back to stock. Bizzare evening for sure.
Thanks for all the help!
For the record...
To get into DOWNLOAD mode you hold home, power, and volume DOWN.
Volume up is for recovery.
Hope that helps.

I've seen the same issue, I was on Senergy and then tried to test CM10, I didn't like it and I went back to Senergy and I flashed it like normal way, however my phone stack on Samsung logo, after 15 minutes pressing all buttons then I was finally able to get recovery, reflashed senegy and it was alright, I Had very less battery, it could be that but not sure..
maybe

Same problem
I had this same problem for a AT&T gs3 but I think my battery died and when I plug it in it won't charge. How can I fix that charging problem and then the start up problem?
Hey, guys!
First post from me in this forum, although I have been searching for some things for some times.
So, the problem is that I had Cyanogenmod 7.2 on my LG P500 for couple months. And ROM was working ok, but there was some problems and I thought I should get back to stock ROM, because actually it was working better and smoother. So, I searched for stock roms for my phone, found one and started to flash. Everything flashed well, phone booted up and then wave of errors started to come. So I thought that it ain't gonna be usable and tried to install a stock rom through official LG Updater, which obviously wasn't a good thing to do. everything, downloaded, installed, phone booted up and I was waiting with hope that it will boot up (android loading screen at least was showing), but it didn't happen. After that I managed to power phone off with getting battery out and then I tried to fix everything with one tutorial I saw in this forum with kdz updater. but at the begging it couldn't connect with my phone and after that screen showd Emergency Mode. nothing I could do, again took out battery to power it off and now phones doesn't show any signs of life.
What does it mean (maybe my phones is same as brick) and what should I do?
I would appreciate your help.

when your phone is in emergency mode then it will connect to the kdz updator
and then flash ur rom
ok, but there's no way I can turn my phone on now. or is there way to get to emergency mode?
U might have bricked ur phone. Bring it lg service centre and say that it was bricked while updatong the stock rom

Plug in the wall charger for about an hour, and then try the buttons - press power button+ volume up button + back button together
keep pressed all three for long duration (maybe 8-10 secs you see yellow screen with written Emergency Mode). Then you are in Emergency Mode.
If no screen yet, then bricked - only LG repair center option.
Guys,
Have been running MIUI V5 on my d2vzw (ported from d2spr) for a couple of days now. Noticed today that the videos were playing reversed (probably due to the ROM running on sprint kernel, correct me if i am wrong). So i flashed one of the kernels for vzw and had a bootloop.
So, in a moment of inspiration :crying:, i restored the boot partition from my MIUI v4 backup in TWRP (thinking that must be the kernel part) and the phone wont boot. No Download mode, no vibration, get the red indicator on for some seconds but thats it. I get QHSUSB_DLOAD error when connected to my computer.
Guess this is a hard brick. Would i be able to get into download mode with USB JIG (i would need to make one, if there is no chance i will not try it). Is JTAG my only option? I have no warranty between since i am using this phone in India.
Guys,
Any Help??
I doubt it, have you trying taking out the battery holding vol up, power, and home for about 3 seconds and letting go to get into recovery to wipe the miuiv4 boot
They are different versions so flashing different rom boots won't boot the rom.

Well, my thinking was since both were 4.1.2, it should not be a problem. I was proved wrong anyway. The phone has no life at all. Is JTAG my only option??

I believe so if nothing comes up but it's weird it was just the boot that you messed with. And you still get at least a red light. If it's hard bricked I believe there is no light whatsoever.

Pull battery and let sit an hour so everything discharges and try again. If still blacked out most likely J-Tag. QHSUSB_DLOAD error is a bad sign.
Hi,
I was on Dark Rom Nougat but recently i tried to flash paranoid android marshamllow cause I was not happy with the sound. After flashing the rom the device booted up normally. I tried to reboot it again into recovery to flash some other zip file. But instead of recovery my phone booted up in bootloader mode. And the 4 options that bootloader of nexus 5 has, kept changing one by one. I mean to say I just can't select any option cause it keeps changing constantly. So you have to be very quick to select any option from the 4 options given in the bootloader.
After a few tries i am able to boot into the device quickly pressing the buttons when the bootloader option comes to 'Start' . But that too in safe mode. I know its a bit hard to understamd cause I have seen this the first time around. And I don't how exactly I can explain this to anyone. I am thinking of making a video of this.
I keep changing roms back and forth and everything works fine. It is the first time I have experienced something like this. To solve the issue,I have flashed other roms ,restored nandroid backups,flashed latest bootloader and radio. But nothing seems to work. I am now planning to flash my nexus 5 to stock factory image. If anyone have any advice/insight I will be really thankful.
Sorry for my bad english.

I'd like to generate a thread with tried and tested ROMs, recovery, and root methods like magisk for the Moto G6
I'd especially like to see a working TWRP (official or unofficial), magisk boot img, and any known working custom ROMs
It's all in Guides, News, and Discussions already.
edit: and there's fairly obviously a thread with a working TWRP build in this section. I don't understand what you're asking?

Yes i had bootloader unlocked but it still unrooted and its got bricked before i even try for rooting. First of all let me tell u the chronologies. I had this phone from someone in US as a gift but i cant use it on my country(because of network) so i give it a try by unlock the bootlooder, it was succeeded and one day comes update which is april 2018 patch. After the update my phone was unstable, self reboot and bootloops and i found that the screen is flickering sometimes. Then at one night it suddenly turned off when i was sleeping. I tried all method combination button but no luck, it is caused by a bad battery or firmware fail? Please help me!!!
Note: i only got led blinking if i press power plus plugged in charger, the led blinking faster after +20 sec
One single blink every 5 sec and then blinking goes faster after +20 sec for about 5 blinks and repeat to state one single blink. Seems like battery related but i have already open the backcase to see, if i unplugged its battery then push the buttons combination the led is blinking faster like the final state -sorry for bad english

I did nothing except my bootloader is unlocked and do an OTA update (april 2018 if i remember) and its suddenly turn off when i was sleep with state of bootloop days before that. I havent buy any batteries yet because i need to know what is the problem. Yes i've done all of power combination for even 5mnts. It strange because the LED show me different if i press power combination button

For ex : it wont blinking at all if the battery completely empty. Then if i charge for awhile it would blink if i pressed power with vol down (after 20 sec) as i described above. Untill the final state of LED i release power and vol down and immediatly pressed vol up then its LED will keep blinking fast forever as long as the charger is plugged in
My moto g6 also appears to be bricked
I don't want to hijack this thread, but since I'm a new member I can't start a forum thread. Now on to the issue with my g6...
When I plug in my g6 the only thing that happens is a small white led flashes at the top right part of the unit. After about 20 mins or so it stops flashing. Holding down the vol+power buttons to go into recover just cycles the power off and on, with the white led flashing just like before. No recovery screen appears, no android robot; only the blinking white led--the display is otherwise entirely blank & black (meaning not lit at all).
When I connect the g6 to my PC I hear the usual "USB beep" indicating that it's recognized the phone being connected, but it does not show any drive or device either in Device Manager or in Explorer. I'm using Win10, with all the Motorola drivers+software installed.
I rooted the phone some time ago, and the bootloader was unlocked before the phone went dead. The last thing I did with the phone was to flash an Android 9 image from the forum here while the phone was connected to my PC.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...android-aosp-9-0-pie-android-9-0-0r1-t3847354
I had flashed others images with no problems up to that point, even the one linked above. But I re-flashed that image since I wanted to "reset" the image to it's stock point (I had made some settings and added apps I wanted to remove, start clean again). The ONLY thing I did different was that the battery was about 50% so I left the phone charge on one of my PC's USB ports while the image was installing. When I checked the phone the next morning it was dead. Afterwards I let it charge for a week but nothing.
Last but not certainly least, I have also tried two different batteries I ordered from Amazon. No change with either one (blinking white led), despite charging each with the original charger for one week.
Sorry for being so long-winded, but I wanted to give as much detail as possible to see if someone here may have a solution. My guess is that I made an incredibly stupid mistake by letting the phone charge from my PC while flashing/installing the A9 image; I really should have left it on my moto g6 charger.
