So the phone is not mine, it's my sister's phone, it is not rooted or anything, just a few days ago it rebooted itself and has been boot looping since, I really don't know what to do to fox it, the only things I thought of doing was to hold the power button and the volume up and down for a few seconds to take me to the recovery mode but it doesn't let me and yes I tried the two combos independently, searching a little I've found a few things, and they are that the phone might be soft bricked, and it tells me to download the android sdk something about cmw recovery but to be honest I'm not familiar with any of those things, any help would be greatly appreciated, I hope the info I provided is enough to get me some help.

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
Because there hasn't been any modifications done to this device, I would avoid at all costs any custom work (like CWM recovery), because your warranty (if your sister has one) would still be intact. Taking it back to the provider/seller is still an option here.
If you can still access what is called fastboot (if this device does have one, sounds like it does, although I don't know the key combos for that), you should be able to flash the Blu (official) firmware, depending on how they set up their updates, or at least get stock recovery going again. Once again, as long as you don't flash anything custom, you should be able to maintain the warranty status.
Please go ahead and create an XDA account, so you can post in other forums. Then, post in the [GENERAL HELP] Post Your Questions Here Instead of Making a New Thread thread (or at least) in the > Blu Vivo Air > Vivo Air Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum. Your device experts can be found there.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

Phone just randomly shut off after using gps (normally normal) and this time it decided to stay stuck in the recover mode screen. None of the options work. Cant recover, factory reset, nothing useful other than reboot which take me back to same white screen.
So i'm not really sure what my options are as far as possibly data recovery. I tried using the windroid but it only detects under fastboot mode and doesn't seem very useful. I tried reflashing the recovery img but didn't seem to do anything.

Hi!
To be clear, it's the Amaze 4g? Since you are trying to recover data.... You will need to ask here. Flashing to stock is probably the answer. But to recover data... Better ask in your device section about that...

Good luck!
ive posted in Amaze section but haven't gotten any replies... Currently i just need to know if theres a way to flash is without being able to enable usb debug? I tried using a stock rom and it worked for abour 15-20 minutes then locked up and rebooted itself back to bootloader and haven't been able to get it back since. The phone just stops after verifying the rom and doesn't ask to install it. I can only assume it's not the right one? but doesn't make sense since it's the same one i used the previous time and it did install

Hello Everyone,
I am very new to the android developing and modding but I do have a basic idea of coding and know my way very well around linux. My problem is that I have a Samsung Galaxy E5 series phone (rooted) and I tried editing its build.prop to optimize battery and 3g speeds. I made a noob mistake and did not take any backups. But in my defense I do not have any custom recovery like CWM etc. installed . So a backup would be not much of a help at this time. So now my phone is stuck in the stock recovery mode which has very limited options. I searched on the internet/this forum but could not find any CWM/TWRP recovery for my phone.
I am willing to make my own CWM recovery using source but since i can not switch off the phone (non removable battery) , it is just lying there. And compiling a new recovery would take much longer time for an amateur like me. What I am asking here is , if anyone can help me with my situation by compiling a CWM recovery. I was searching the documentation earlier and I do have recovery.img and boot.img from the stock rom. My android version is Kitkat 4.4.4. Firmware version : E500HXXU1AOB2 but on the recovery it says : KTU84P. E500HXXU1AOA6.
I am so confused. Any help would be appreciated.
To the mods: Sorry if my thread is in the wrong section. Please let me know if I made any mistake.
I don't know about all the rest cause I have limited skills in compiling but hold down power button and keep holding it down and phone should turn off if that's of any help, good luck

Thank you for replying banjomike. I held down power button for almost a minute and during that time the phone kept vibrating every five seconds or so. The phone is stuck at the samsung logo and just won't poweroff. I tried every button combination I could think of. I don't know what the hell kind of phones they make these days.
I am going to download stock firmware and flash it via odin. Lets see if that helps me.
Hello,
actually i have made it, a softbrick which i couldn't fix alone
At the moment i use the ZTE Star 2.
So here is the problem:
I would like to flash a custom rom like MIUI, for that reason i was searching for a custom recovery, i chose this one:
recovery.romzh.com/zte/2015/01/136.html
because i couldn't speak Chinese i tried every combination of the given numbers.
But nothing have made it.
So i extract the recovery img file from the application (in the TEMP folder) and try to flash it manually with adb fastboot, after the file is transmitted to the phone there is a response says FAILED unknown command or something like that.
Okay, for that reason i pushed the file to the root of my sdcard and flashed it with the app rashr, which have work "correctly".
And i thought this was the problem...
Now if i want to boot my phone the ZTE logo appears for about halve a second and then the display turns off... But i think the phone is still on, because if i press the power button only a short time, nothing happens. But if i press it about 10 seconds the device will reboot, like if i do that while it is running...
The first time i have made this (press about 10 seconds) the device has booted normally but since i tried it again to get in the recovery it would boot, enter the recovery or something else, i see the logo for about half a second and nothing happens.
I couldn't enter the recovery mode and font know how i should enter the bootloader, because i don't know if the device is powered off or powered on
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi guys,
My nexus 5 power button got stuck inside though it clicks well from outside. Problem with this is that the phone reboots continuously. This is a common problem for nexus 5. I fixed this problem by replacing the power button unit on the motherboard.
But now, the phone boots on until the colorful dots circling (lollipop booting) and stays there forever without going any further.(i guess its a boot loop)
I have never rooted my phone or done any tinkering with it.
I have not enabled USB debugging unfortunately and now am not able to change that. At least i don't know how to from bootloader.
I am able to get to the bootloader and get it to unlocked state. But i am not able to flash any image as the bootloader reboots and gets locked again and then i get "flash write failure" for all the commands.
How do i get past this, or is my phone bricked for good?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Would anybody know how to get a Doro Liberto 820 into recovery mode?
My friend's Dads phone is stuck in a boot loop and he asked me to look at it. I'm no expert by any means but I can get by. (normally).
I've used recovery mode lots of times before so its not normally a problem except on this phone.
I've tried the usual combinations involving volume down-home-power volume up-home-power etc... & same again without 'home' but no luck.
I can get into the factory menu but there's nothing in there that's helpful enough to fix a boot loop.
Ive even sent a message to Doro but they don't seem to want to reply.
Any help will be gratefully received.
Thanks
Brian
