I've been trying to use a tutorial on modaco which I can't link because I'm a new user to root my ZTE KIS 3, but I can't get past the fastboot command, it says "wating for device" and nothing happens, I've tried turning it on myself, I've held down the power button and power + vol up for 20 seconds maximum and nothing happens, I've waited withou touching it and it just stays black. I feel like the rest is a piece of cake, I just can't get past fastboot for making a rom dump. Any help?

Okay so I have a bit of a situation and looking for some helpful advice, I'm not a complete novice but I seem to have gotten myself VERY stuck.
The Specifications:
Samsung Note 3 (rooted)
TWRP
Safe Strap
Rebooted recently and was in TWRP and accidentally chose "Recovery", phone now continuously Reboots into Recovery Mode in the upper left of the screen. I've tried to do the Volume Up + Power + Home button to no avail and every other combination I can think of, resulting in The same .. Reboot Recovery Option in the top left after about 10 seconds it Vibrates twice and reboots again.
I can't access TWRP, can't access Stock Recovery, Can't plug it into a PC as it just reboots over and over again after it gets power. Read a few things about Fastboot (Don't know if Note 3 Supports that, and Maybe Odin but I can't see how I'm to flash anything if it just immediatly reboots as soon as I plug it in)
HELP!

Hello, need some help with my A450.
Problem:
It goes on(about 20 seconds) and off(about 10 seconds) and on and off and so on, to logo screen....for the last 10 hours.
How did i get at this
Trying this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/rom-arcatarcs-umi-zero-emumi-t3014306
My phone was rooted already with Kingo Root.
Had a problem with rashr, so i tried Rom Installer by JRummy.
Now, only thing i can do is power+sound up for some seconds, to get to a list:
1. Recovery Mode
2. Fastboot Mode
3. Normal Boot
But, none of these options has any effect...
EDIT: Managed to turn it off, holding power+volume down for about 10 seconds. Then, turned it on to get to above mentioned loop

ZTE Blade C2 V809
Well I simply changed recovery-from-boot.p name to recovery-from-boot.p-bak and install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh-bak
Now the phone doesn't boot properly, in fact it's stuck in a boot loop:
-Starts
-Shows white ZTE logo on screen
-Restarts
Tried connecting the phone via USB cable and used fastboot devices & adb devices commands, no devices found.
Also tried pressing "power + vol down" and "power + vol up", nothing. I can't enter recovery mode or bootloader.
I need another way to get in and change the name of those specific files, or re-install the OS.
I need help finding the desired solution for this specific phone or similar brand one, or some kind of expertise who knows more about this.
There's always a way.

Hello All,
This is my first post at this forum.
I've come to a point where I'm on the verge of giving up.
A few days ago my Nexus 5 entered a boot loop without me doing anything special with it - it was just in my pocket.
All see is the google logo for a few seconds , then the screen goes down for a few more, and back to the google logo.
I'm able to go into fastboot by hold down the volume down (only) button when this happens, but the boot loop happens when I choose to boot into recovery mode.
My device has an unlocked bootloader.
I have fast boot access and no ADB (ADB wait-for-device doesn't work).
Went over a tutorial from androidforums.com and flashed a completely new image using fastboot.
The entire process worked, but the phone is still at the same state.
I've read that there is and issue with the power button on these devices - so I tried all methods of knocking it against stuff without success.
I've taken it to a lab nearby and the guy there was sure it was the power button. He said he fixed about 50 of these already - after a few hours he called me up and said he had replaced the power button 3 times and he's giving up.
in short , this is the current situation :
1. Device stuck in bootloop - only google logo is seen
2. can boot into fastboot (and have fastboot access from PC) but can't boot into recovery
3. flushing a stock succeeds but won't help
4. power button seems o.k.
I am about to call this a bricked phone and look for a new one but something inside me tells me that this might still be a software issue and can be fixed.
I would be happy to know if there is a way to know what is failing in the boot sequence. or maybe load a debug application on to the device to check the HW. I've yet to find any help in that direction.
I'm a software eng. working in the cellular comm. field, so I'm up for anything that anyone has in mind.
Thanks,
Ran.

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
It does sound like a hardware issue and it could be the power button, except for one thing: wouldn't a held down power button in fastboot cause a shutdown as well? Maybe not, but I thought I'd ask that.
At any rate, better to get an opinion from someone who actually has the deivce. Please create an account (so you post in other forums) and then post in this thread (can copy and paste from here):
