is this the solution?

Just pressing volume up and down won't get you into download mode. You need to apply a usb cable as well.
Maybe that is why your NS stays black.

Doen't work
i also tried to just hold volume up and on button
and hope that is go into fastboot ( only not on the screen )
but that doesn't work either
hope that er is someone out there who can help me

Hi,
You have a bricked bootloader and JTAG is the only answer in this scenario. That is my video you posted and I'd be happy to take care of this for you. Just PM me if you have any other questions.

you have to power off ur phone first.
1) power off ur phone or just remove battery and put it back in ( ur phone should not be plugged either)
2) hold vol up and vol down
3) press the power button and keep your fingers on the vol up and vol down until u enter download mode
4) plus the cable now
5) reflash bootloader through odin

That's why i could kill myself at the moment:O i din't look twice when i flash a zip
but i wanted to go from 2.3.3 to 2.3.2 ( because i can overclock to 1.6 )
the flash was succesful ( 100% ) i did go back and reboot
and from then the screen stays black
( this is really hard i suck in english xD )
update! : i think it was one of these that i flasht, But i dont really now
353e267378cd.signed-soju-GRH78C-from-GRH78.353e2673.zip
but sofar i now is that the stock update ?

The zip in question, does it weigh around 12-14 megs by any chance? Not the typical 85 for a full ROM?
These are "patch" zips that contain only new files and patches for modified files and partitions instead of full files. They're supposed to be flashed strictly on the ROM they were meant for, normally a completely stock ROM of a specific build number. (I'm not aware of any ROM maker out there, other than Google, providing this kind of zip update.)
Good luck,

[Q] Can not boot into bootloader

So a fresh One S
Used Hasoon200's all in One to unlock bootloader and root.
Flashed CWM
followed instructions to load Dark Jelly
will only reboot into recovery.
I can not boot into bootloader, I have tried
..adb reboot bootloader
..reboot phone holding downvolume
its my bosses phone so any help would be appreciated. whoopsie.
Can not use RUU because it has to bet into fastboot.
I have pushed files using ADB push XXXX /sdcard and the files go through the transfer process but then are not visible in /sdcard.

Looks like your new here. Just a heads up you need to post questions in the Q & A forum.
To get into the boot loader this is how I do it.
Turn off the phone
Hold down Volume -
Hold down power for 5 secs then release while continuing to hold volume -
Then keep pressing power over and over until the bootloader pops up and stop.
It sounds weird but it works every time for me.

Hold the Vol- button as you turn it off and keep hold when turning it on again.

Why do you have a Ville XC? Was it shipped S-OFF?
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2

make sure your phone is off, not hibernating (neat HTC feature)
to completely turn off your HTC, hold the powerbutton alone for some seconds until your home/menu/.. buttons start to blink, when they stop blinking, your device is off, you can let go the power button.
now hold power and vol down to enter bootloader.
other option
if you have htc booting into android, enable USB debugging, download ADB-tools, and enter "adb reboot bootloader" or "adb reboot recovery"
good luck
or remove the battery, ah, bummer we can't, we have a One S

Bricked AT&T Fusion 2 u8665

K title says it all so whats happening at this moment
- i cannot get it to the recovery by holding Volume up + Power
- i can get it to fastboot
i have tried fastbooting multiple things to try and get it to work but im STUCK i finally got the phone rooted after several of days hunting
When i power on the phone it stays at the AT&T logo if someone could help me i would be very appreciative i use my phone constantly even though im probably gonna buy a Galaxy S2 or HTC sensation i would like to fix this just so i have the knowledge thanks :good:

Anybody know what to do so i can fix my phone

There is no way to unbrick this device yet. Another member and I are working on a solution, but we do not know how long it will take us to do so. I have bricked my phone, but I returned it, and got a replacement for it.
How did you brick your phone?
And if you can boot into fastboot, you can install a modified stock recovery, so you can boot into recovery, but it won't really do anything.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lm11rrn3z5c2j6v/Huawei-Fusion-2-Recovery-Root.zip

Like Robotic said... not YET for the general public because I am a bit worried about the threats within the code & config file comments by AT&T.
More or less "don't touch this or feds will bash your door in"
YOU CAN BOOT CLOCKWORK by booting recovery img via USB. You just can't flash it to the phone yet for some unknown reason.

K thank you guys keep me informed please when i boot this in fastboot will the phone turn on?? or what?

Oh and im not sure exactly how i bricked it my phone it died one night then when i turned it on it was just stuck at the att sign
and i can fastboot into it ive been trying to load diff recoverys on it but nothing worked ill try that when i get my phone back from my cousins house keep me posted on any updates

Check out Q2&3.

Hi, just asking.
Hi everyone in this temple of wisdom, first of all forgive my write english (Im latin) so, if you find my sentences hard to understand.. that´s the reason.
I have a Huawei Fusion U-8665 from AT&T, 3 days ago I try to root it using this app:

}
I read the instructions step by step and when a push the button "Unloock BOOTLOADER" the app call ADB SHELL in CMD and wrote a lot of command to try unlock the phone. The problem was after that, my smartphone wont boot!! just turn on with logo of AT&T and 3 seconds later turn off, and keep looping ON---Off---On---Off.
I already try:
Power and Vol +
Power and Vol -
Power and Vol + and Vol - (When I did it, devices stop Looping and show a purpple screen, but yet cannot use adb shell from my laptop)
I already have a driver installed en my laptop, but devices is not found when I try: "adb shell" in CMD. Just show "error devices not found"
Im noob in this world, all my experiencie has been root and install custom rom in htc glacier MYT 4G, if anyone can help me I really apreciate that.

That's for the Chinese g300

Never Bricked...
Hello,
So first off.. You can't brick the device because it has a hardware function that allows limited functionality. Most devices have this safety feature. For the Mobile Android System it's called "fastboot". (Sorry if this is redundant to you) To boot into fastboot there is a button combination for each family. The generic method I think all of the have in common is.. If you take out the battery and hold the "Vol UP" or "Vol DN" while you plug the device into your computer it should default to fastboot. Otherwise if that doesn't work do the same thing but hold the "Power + Vol DN" you have to hold it for about 15 seconds. This android model doesn't have a splash screen for fastboot, so all you will see is the AT&T Logo. It should stay there.. Verify the connectivity with the fastboot command, " fastboot devices" (via the cmd prompt and sdk tools from Google.) At this point you can flash a new Recovery, Boot, or System. Once you flash a recovery you'll be able to install your Rom via RecoveryManager.
PS
If the device still will not boot after the recovery flash.. look into flashing the boot system.
-Dont Be An Idiot.. Eddie it!

[Tip] Unbrick your TF300T (fastboot, full wipe)

Hi!
After a few days of misery with custom ROMs and finally bricking my TF300T I did a radical wipe to start from scratch with the stock ROM. But first let me explain my problem with the custom ROMs: WiFi doesn't activate, seems like it's missing some drivers or something. Without WiFi my tablet is useless. I've tried 3 different ROMs and nothing worked. Then i flashed the latest ASUS stock ROM via fastboot --> blob-file and theeeeeeen...

Needless to say I was angry, confused, mad, dissapointed and wanted to smash that stupid thing to the ground...
So I searched a little and stumbled upon this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12
To make it short: It works! :laugh: :good:
This guy saved my ass! But it also means you do a FULL wipe including your user data and everything - you really start from scratch. User data had to be deleted because I had to get rid of the encryption password. For me it was worth it because it also shows that it's not a hardware failure and the WiFi is working correctly...

How did you manage to get your tablet into fastboot because I can not get into fastboot it just loops on the Asus logo every time it turns on.
Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk

When you are on latest bootloader just press & hold Power + Vol down, when the tablet is powered down. You'll then see three icons and don't have to do anything further because the tablet is now in fastboot mode...
When "RCK" is highlighted and you press Vol up, you'll start the recovery (CWM or TWRP, if you have flashed one)...

I know this. The thing is I don't even get these choices it just hangs on the Asus logo (the one that has the words "this device is unlocked" in the top left or right of the screen. ) and goes nowhere and then hangs every time I try to pull up the boot option menu to select recovery or fastboot.

So even when you press & hold Power + Vol down nothing happens? Very strange...
Normally you should see "This device is unlocked" only for a second then the tablet starts the fastboot mode. Have you tried pressing these two buttons longer? Like 10 seconds or something? When you got stuck with the logo the tablet should reboot and hopefully go into fastboot mode. If not you have a serious problem...

Recover unbrick OP6

Hello guys,
I need your help.
Yesterday, my phone hangged and got stuck at Qualcomm Crash Dump mode.
I was just able to enter Fastboot (Power + Volume down button) but it won't wipe date, reset to factory or enter any other mode, it would just get black and do nothing, without possibility to launch the OS.
So, I used MsmDownloadTool to reformat it with the enchilada_22_H.07_180513 ROM.
The tool succeded to download the firmware to the phone but now, when I power it on, it just go directly to fastboot and whatever I do (Start, Recovery mode, Restart bootloader), it restarts directly in fastboot mode.
The problem is my device is not unlocked (I never rooted it) so I can't use the command "fastboot oem unlock"...
Due to the use of MsmDownloadTool, I know that I won't be able to recover the data but I would like to know if there is any possibility to make the phone usable again.

Try using different versions of MSM, I used the one which had OOS 5.1.5 and it successfully booted after it showed success in MSM

Thanks for your answer.
Problem is I can't use MSM as my phone is not detected anymore. It automatically boots on fastbood mode when I plug it on my computer.

Try this:
when in fastboot mode power off the device from there and wait for 10-15 seconds once powered off then, hold the volume up button for 5-10 seconds and as you are holding it, connect your device to USB, let me know if this works or not

Ok, I will try it sunday and 'll tell you.

Hum.. doesn't seem to work...
Tried with enchilada_22_O.09_180517 ROM but when it completes the download, it just boots with the OnePlus logo (photo) then keeps black with the cyan LED light.
Is there a way for me to diagnose what's wrong ?

you know, this usually happens with me but not on this screen, you know the screen where it says "bootloader unlocked"(if it's unlocked), there's one glitchy line on the screen and when that line appears that means something's wrong and then the phone crashes to crashdump mode but usually I get out of it by simply pressing power button but it seems like the crashdump problem is different for everyone, so coming back to your problem either the flashing is going wrong or something is off, seems like even the only solution is not working for you, I can only suggest you to try it again but if even that doesn't work then I don't think there's any solution left.
PS. I hope that you are putting your PC/Laptop in test mode before performing MSM operations.
