[Q] Bootloop - how to recover file? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
My Nexus 5 is all of a sudden stuck in a bootloop, see video at https://plus.google.com/+AlexanderSkwar/posts/YY6VieTVq7Z
I guess, the power button is broken, or something like this. Google will replace the device, but there's one file on the device, which I'd need access to — my Libra database…
Well, would anyone have an idea, how I could get access to it? When I connect USB cable (or use Qi charger), the system boots but then directly reboots. I cannot adb to it. I also get thrown out of the fastboot (power + volume down) menu right away.
Ideas? Anyone? :crying:
Thanks,
Alexander

Do you have a custom recovery installed? do you have adb and fastboot set up in your computer?

Well maybe removing the power key or fixing it without replacing the motherboard would work, but if you that you will lose your warranty :

Yes, I do have a custom recovery setup. Yes, I do have adb and fastboot setup on my computer.
No, I don't get into fastboot or the custom recovery. If I try to, it will reboot right away, as shown on the video. [emoji30]

Uhm, well, losing my warranty is of course also something, I would not want [emoji26]

Try plugging the phone to the computer then run "adb devices" if it recognizes it try to from adb reboot into bootloader or tell it to reboot into recovery. dont know what else to do. It looks like you are going to learn some sleight of hands my friend.

I do know my way around adb
adb devices will only show the device , if it is booted. It does not boot - what happens, is visible in the Google+ post, which contains a video.
I tried plugging it in and it is not shown. Also not with the fastboot command (ie. "sudo fastboot devices" shows nothing. Adb also does not find the device). That is, what I meant with "I cannot adb to the device".

Then I am afraid you'll need assistance from a higher level my friend, sorry I wasn't much help.

[Q] Too many pattern attempts... No Recovery menu

hey guys
i have a HTC Sensation that is password locked, but the real problem is that it won't enter recovery mode.
the volume down key is working as i've tested it in a "sos call", the volume up doesn't work when the phone is turned, but that's not important as it's not needed.
is there any other way to get into recovery mode?
also, if i hold the up key with the power switch, it boots up in "safe mode"

did you try to pull out the battery?

then hold volume down + power button until it shows the bootloader screen

several times sir, even went as far as draining the battery inside the phone completely, trying it with another battery, leaving the battery out of the phone for a whole day...
are there no usb hacks or something like there is with the samsung android phones?

Are you on a stock rom? if you are the you would have to have un-ticked fastboot from the settings to be able to boot into the bootloader...
try to attach the device to a usb port of a laptop and see if the usb debugging symbol shows up in the status bar. if it does you can use the adb command adb reboot recovery to force a jump into the recovery.

can you take a photo of the pattern lock screen
also what do you know about the device? is it eu,uk,us? also what carrier is the device on? is it on ice cream sandwich or gingerbread? you may be able to run a RUU (rom update utility) on the device, updating the firmware and remove the lock that is currently on the device.
So, no bootloader? When you hit vol down + power it should land you in the bootloader screen, where you then select recovery. Have you tried with the cover, SD, and SIM removed from the phone?

you will need to talk to the owner of the phone, without that info your stuffed tbh. with fastboot enabled in the stock rom you cannot boot into bootloader. without the info like what carrier they are on you dont know what ruu to run to reset the device. without usb debugging you cannot use the pc to send commands as far a i am aware :/ assuming you have the correct htc drivers installed connect the device to the pc, open cmd in your adb directory and type in adb reboot bootloader and see if it responds. again without that info you've pretty much had it. you can try to flash ruu's from the pc at random in the hope that you find the correct firmware and cid, but without usb debugging on there is no guarantee that the ruu will even find it.

yeah, tried the adb reboot recovery, no dice. just error, no device connected.
the owner bought it 2nd hand, so he has no clue, i'm just going to return it. pity that htc doesn't have a "usb key" like samsung that forces "download mode" on the android devices

Super bricked

I hope I can save it but after 4 hours of trying and reading I can't seem to do it.
I was running an unlocked tf300 with cleanrom. I wanted to update to the newest version of cleanrom and have my tablet on that and ready for school for next term. I downloaded cleanrom on laptop and put it on my micro sd. Went and grabbed the tablet and tried using rom manager to install from sd and backup the os that was on it. Didn't work. So booted into the fastboot spot (vol down and power) and decided i should wipe data since i was there. Went over to that and pushed vol up (once). Let it sit for like 45 minutes and was still on the same screen. Thought to myself well it must be done. Shut off the tablet to restart it.
This is where the problem came up. Now i'm stuck on asus logo. The VD+P doesn't do anything but reboot into the asus logo. The VU+P will put it into a black screen and windows sees it as Asus transformer Prime APX interface. But adb can't see the device. Just device manager. typing fastboot -i 0x0b05 thing just says <waiting for device>
Every post i've read seems to tell people to just push VD+P but if i could do that and get to recovery i wouldn't be doing this. I can't put a blob file into the root sd of the tablet because I can't see the tablet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe this link can help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034866
Device manager already sees it as transformer prime apx thing though. So i assume by getting it into APX mode doing the VU+P method it is in apx? or is that not mean it's actually in apx?

Apx mode is not going to do you any good. The previous link also provides info on blootloader " recovery " mode.
Try the universal naked drivers from this link and try fastboot again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766220
If that does not work leave off ' -i 0x0b05 ' in fastboot -i 0x0b05 command and try again.

Already installed the naked drivers and that's when the computer recognized it in the device manager portion as the asus prime apx interface thing. It still just says <waiting for device> in everything i try on fastboot.

I know you previously said you couldn't get into recovery-bootloader menu but that is what we have to accomplish. Apx mode on this unit is only good if you previously installed nvflash and had all of the proper backup files.
The first link I provided provides 9 ways to get into bootloader menu and from there either fastboot mode (usb symbol) or recovery (RCK). I know some may not work but we only need one.

apx or bootloader menu-recovery.
To use this guide to enter the bootloader menu just use volume down everywhere it says volume up. Everything else is the same.
4. with unit powered on hold volume down and press reset with paperclip - (don't press hard) reset is located about 25mm or 1in below the sdcard
try this one.

Force power off by holding power a few seconds.
Plug power cord into tab with the other end of the power cord not plugged into anything. Hold volume down and plug other end of power cord into pc. This done without pressing power again after it is powered off. Easier to do than describe.

The Problem lies in holding the volume down button. No matter how i turn it on. either plugging it in while holding power down, reset button, letting it die and then plugging it in and turning it on....it just goes into the asus logo screen .

I'm sorry, I did understand that from the beginning but the only things that can save you is get into that menu or recovery or your tab accepts a fastboot or adb command. That is the reason you keep getting pushed into that direction.
My best guesses are out. Sometimes redoing something you have already done twice works.
My experience and all I have read rom manager has issues on this tab. Also many who wiped data from the bootloader- recovery menu reach this same point when they reboot.
Some have recovered by just doing each thing again and again and suddenly something works.
Yeah i fear i'm just going to have to call ASUS . sad panda. i keep trying different methods of doing the VD+P method but it just won't get into recovery.

I'm sorry but I am afraid you are correct. If unable to use adb, fastboot, or get into recovery there aren't any other options. Sorry if I pushed more than I should but I wanted to see a more positive result than calling Asus.
Good Luck!

If you explain you were having issues with your tab and used wipe data hoping to correct the problem. Now when you turn on it just stays on the asus logo maybe they will repair it without cost.
If you go into detail you probably won't get lucky.

Help ! Deleted Fire UI...

Hi guys. Looks like I deleted the Fire UI. Now, I dont get pop up messages. I dont have the notification bar or the soft keys. And now that the pop up boxes wont pop up, I cant authorize the tablet. Which means I cant do any modding to it, to fix it. Just dont know what to do at this point. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

in recovery shouldn't matter. You can only adb sideload Amazon signed software in recovery. I will give you a copy of mine as soon as I have access to it.

So, to make sure we're all talking the same thing:
Can you boot into recovery mode? (To boot into recovery mode: When the tablet's off, press and hold the power and volume up button. The volume up button is the one closer to the power button. Once the Amazon logo pops up, release the power button but keep holding the volume up button. Eventually, it should boot to a text-only page.)
If you can boot into recovery mode, are you seeing the recovery menu? It should offer you a text-based menu, with options:
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
reboot to bootloader
power down
view recovery logs
Assuming you can boot into the recovery menu, connect the device to your computer. Select "apply update from ADB," using the volume buttons to maneuver and the power button to select.
It should say: Now sent the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>"...
With the device connected to your computer, go to where your adb software is; type: adb devices . . . does that list the device? (AFAIK, the recovery menu should allow ADB even if you don't have ADB enabled in the system proper; I'm not 100% certain of that, but it's a pretty useless recovery menu if it doesn’t . . .)
If it does list with the adb devices command, then it should be ready to sideload. At this point, you'll need an update file to sideload (which will wipe your system and should convert it to a factory-restored tablet). That's beyond the scope of this troubleshooting, but there are other guides online. However, make sure you choose the same sideloading package as your operating system version. (For example, my tablet has 5.5.0.0, so I sideload update-kindle-40.5.9.1_user_591450020.bin)
To be honest, if you're tech-savvy, then it's quite probable you've already done all this, and apologies for spelling it all out . . . but, reading what you're saying, I'm having a hard time even envisioning what you're getting stuck on.

ok heres the thing.
A) when in android, ADB see the device. But I cant authorize ADB on the tablet, due to no pop up box & no notification bar.
B) I can boot into recovery (yes I can see it) but,when in recovery. the pc/ADB doesnt see the tablet at all. so sideloading doesnt work.
C) I would think being in recovery mode, you wouldnt need to authorize ADB. Im thinkin', maybe because I cant authorize it in Android, I cant do anything in recovery. IE: sideload.
Heres what I get when the tablet is in recovery mode..
Ok today, while in recovery mode, I plugged in the tablet & I got this.....

Yeah, that's all a poser.
At this point, about the only other advice I can offer is to try a different USB port (on your computer), and/or a different USB cable. And if all THAT fails, try a different COMPUTER with different usb cables. (I had some strange errors with getting my Kindle to be recognized by the computer, until I switched to a different port . . . and I've had a problem with the device not charging at all depending on which cable I'm using.)
And if that doesn't yield anything different . . . I'm out of ideas, I'm afraid.

Sideloading in recovery does not require ADB authorization !!! All you need to do is to get the correct drivers loaded, to make sure that your PC can see your Fire. Recovery is for restoring things, if it needed ADB authorization, it would defeat its purpose.
Get USBDeView, and see which devices it shows when the Fire is in recovery, and plugged into a PC USB port. Then try to locate correct drivers. You may want to delete any driver related to this Fire in USBDeView, then plug it back in, make windows try to get the driver for it again.

I can't believe I didn't think about that. Totally sliped my mind.

Pixel 2 brick after Uninstall Magisk

Hello,
My Pixel 2 was unlocked bootloader and Rooted.
I went to Magisk app then pressed Uninstall All, then my phone rebooted and brick at boot (Screenshot "No command").
I tried to flash back to stock rom but computer cannot reconize the phone. (I supposed USB debugging was not turned on yet).
Please advise how I can make my Pixel 2 back to work?
Many thanks in advance.

Yes i do.
The ADB driver keeps not working is the main problem.

Thank you.
Let me buy another cable then try again...
Download and extract the latest version of Platform Tools to a folder, then run all ADB and fastboot commands in command prompt or powershell within that folder. Don't rely on Windows drivers for ADB.

Forget about ADB, you need Fastboot access. While in the bootloader interface, connect your phone, look for it in the Device Manager and change its driver to Android Bootloader Interface, or something of the sort. Next try "fastboot devices" on the command line, see if it detects your device.
I brought my phone to repair shop and they detected that the hard disk was dead.
Just bought another Pixel 2 to have more awesome photos
You have no fastboot I guess.
Boot into fastboot, plug in the usb cable and press and hold the volume down button for like 15 seconds, and then it will be recognized by the PC. You can flash back the stock rom after that.
Hey I had the same problem. Just stuck in bootloader mode. In my case, the boot slot changed itself from b to a (access denied, same as your problem). What I did:
1. I boot my phone, then it'll be in bootloader mode (same as the first picture when it says 'operation denied')
2. I kept pressing the power button, then my phone boot into bootloader again (bootloop). I kept holding my power button until my phone boot into right boot slot. (It took me 10 bootloop to boot into right boot slot, I just keep holding my power button when in the bootloader mode)
You can add my telegram : (@)Djkuns if you're confused. Hope I can help! Goodluck!

Pixel bricked qusb_bulk

Hello XDA
After 2 years of usage my pixel died, last time alive it was android 10, turned off in my pocket and never returned, just turned out black screen and connecting as qusb_bulk with PC
Holding power button with/or volume buttons doesn't make any difference, no reaction
Any ideas how to fix this?
It looks like your phone is in some kind of download mode. qusb_bulk, qusb definitely means Qualcomm USB but the bulk thing doesn't mean anything to me. Maybe stuck in fastboot on EDL mode.

You are probably screwed while the system ran out of battery when auto installing a system update. You are now in edl mode.
You can try disconnect and reconnect battery and see if other state acheived.
You can try to flash the boot, recovery and system.img through adb using EDL like "adb edl flash system C:\path\to\your\system.img" Same for the recovery and boot except replace system in the aforementioned command and put recovery or boot along with the path to them
Also, forgot to mention that after flashing the system, boot and recovery.imgs run "adb edl reboot recovery" If that doesn't get you in recovery try getting in it using key combos. After getting into recovery flash an OTA image from Google and you're good to go.
↑good that is What I want to say

I'd already do it, but adb can't recognize the phone, adb drivers not installing
