Thanks! But, my Fire XT was unrooted and I'm not sure if I should proceed with this. You have read my other thread over at Android Q & A. Please tell me if I should proceed with this or not.

I tried it. My phone does not seem to go into download mode. Any idea why? I held down the three keys for more than 5 minutes, but the white lights just keep showing. Nothing else happens.
Update: The phone screen turned on after a few minutes of holding down the buttons. It shows a screen where there's a battery icon. I believe the phone was severely drained. No other reason for it. But why didn't the screen show when I had plugged it into the computer yesterday or when I tried charging it for hours long back?
I'll keep you posted when the phone turns on.

I think it's some hardware error you got.
I too had the same problem you have.
I returned it to the sc they replaced it's motherboard.
But I think your phone turned on for a reason known as stack charging.
It is cycle of continous charging. Let it charge and ensure that battery is more than 70%.
Then you can perform this procedure.

Try pulling the battery, putting again and connect your phone with volume down(-) and camera button pressed.
See if that works.

There are only three modes in XT530
1. Flash mode
2. Recovery mode
3. FTM mode
Of them which one you are talking about?
I think other name of flash mode is download mode.

I plugged it into my computer. Went into flash mode. It doesnt show up on RSD lite because the driver is missing for some reason.

[Q] Recovery mode without power button

Hi @ all,
after failed attempt to restore a backup ("can't not mount system"), my Nexus S won't start anymore...
Biggest problem: The power button is broken! :/ that means I cannot get in recovery, or even in download or bootloader mode!
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this, or at least get the data from the internal USB storage?
Really grateful for any help ...

You have to completely wipe everything or things break sometimes. Yes that includes internal storage.

[q] [help]nexus 5 stuck. 5.0.1. Stuck while booting.

Hey there,
I am Nexus 5 user. Recently I updated my phone to Lolipop 5.0.1. At first the phone worked fine. A few days later the background apps started restarting. That was still manageable. A week back the phone started restarting. So I read about in a Google Forum, it advised to delete partition cache from the 'Recovery Mode' . I did so. It worked and phone stopped restarting. Now a week later the problem started again. So I wiped partition cache. But during the process the battery ran out and the phone switched off.
Now when I try to switch on the phone, the Google logo appears and then the phone freezes in the boot animation.
The phone boots into bootloader(power button + volume up + volume down), but when I try to get into Recovery Mode, an android is displayed with a red exclamation mark.
The bootloader is locked, so I can't flash the original image.
Need help to get the phone back.
Additional info about the device:
a. Nexus 5 32GB
b. Lolipop 5.0.1
c. Locked bootloader/ unrooted
d. Still in warranty.

The dead android is recovery mode. When you see that press and hold the power button then press and release vol up. Try a factory reset in there. Note, it will wipe your device so backup first if you can.

This isnt't working. Holding the power button and volume button together does nothing. Holding only the power button puts the phone back in boot loop. Any other suggestions?

I think you're going to have to unlock the bootloader and flash the factory image. If that doesn't work then you have a hardware issue.

If it doesn't turn on there is nothing you can do. You need to be able to boot into the bootloader. Usb debugging doesn't matter. You don't need it on to run fastboot commands.

Google 15 second adb install xda. That'll setup adb and fastboot on your pc. Then boot the device into the bootloader, open a command window on your pc and then with your device connected via usb cable type into the command window
fastboot oem unlock

The device does boot into bootloader. But when I get into recovery mode, an android with red triangle and exclamation is displayed. How do I remove it and get back into the normal recovery mode?

You don't need to get into recovery. Boot into the bootloader, unlock it, then flash the factory image. All that is done in the bootloader, not recovery.

There is little confusion here @ShobhitJethani. Let's make things clear.
Bootloader mode (or fastboot mode) is when you press and hold volume_down+power keys.
Recovery mode is when you select the recovery mode with the power key in the bootloader mode.
To enable the menu options in stock recovery you have to PRESS and HOLD the POWER key and while you do that you just PRESS the VOLUME_UP key and then you RELEASE the VOLUME_UP key and then you can RELEASE the POWER key too.
What you did is starting to press and hold volume _up and power keys at the same time which is wrong.
Also, to unlock bootloader you just have to put the phone to bootloader mode. You dont have to do anything special before that.
I hope you now understand.

I somehow managed to remove the tamper flag and then gave it to the service center. They flashed KitKat on the phone. And now I also have updated my phone to 5.1 OTA. Thanks to everyone for trying to help me.

My Desire S no longer connects to PC and so in my enthusiasm to try a cm12 ROM I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1764398 and tried to install TWRP recovery via Terminal Emulator but there was an error "insufficient space on disk" or something like that. In my curiosity I typed "reboot bootloader" and the phone went dead (not even the HTC Logo shows up). While connecting the charger the LED lights up. If I press power+volume up the LED lights up even if there is no charger connected. Is there any way to get it back to life?
