Hey,
so, three days ago my Mi4i suddenly turned itself off during the night.
I couldn´t turn it back on, it was stuck on the Cyanogenmod-Logo and wouldn`t go any further.
I couldn´t even enter recovery mode. The only thing I could do was enter Fastboot.
And now Im stuck there.
Tried recovery via Mi PC Suite- it recognised the phone, started recovery, said "finished", but the phone is still in Fastboot.
Same for Mi Flash tool.
Doesn´t matter which ROM i try to flash, I´m still in Fastboot.
Any ideas what I can still try? Or is the phone completely bricked and I need a new one?
Try rebooting by connecting the phone with USB and in CMD running fastboot reboot.
May I know why MIUI did u try flashing on your phone?
If it was Developer ROM. I suggest you to try Global Stable ROMs, This usually fixes everything.
Good luck mate!
Regards,
Sharan
Unfortunately, I did try all that.
Do fastboot commands work? Does your device show up in
fastboot devices?
If yes, Try booting into a recovery using fastboot boot recovery.img
If commands don't work even after you've drivers properly installed(i.e. your PC's fastboot works for other phones), Then I have no idea.

Hello, I think my NS is bricked...
I was in recovery, I Unmounted /SDcard, I remounted /sdcard. I went to reboot system, but that's not what happened. Instead I'm in fastboot.
At the top, it says In red caps: FASTBOOT MODE - NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG.
My volume buttons and power button aren't working. I cant do anything. I'm not good with ADB, but is there a solution there? I can't get into my phone at all, I can only stay in fastboot. Can anyone help?
Your phone does not have a boot , therefore cannot start a ROM, and it does not have a recovery. It says that it is in fastboot, therefore it can listen to your pc and download a recovery from it.
You probably used fastboot to unlock your boot loader.
You therefore have to find a thread with instruction to unlock the boot loader. It will give you instruction and files for downloading a recovery image to your phone.
Good luck

I dunno about that, I'll try it, but when plugged in whilst in fastboot, my computer doesnt recognize anything.
you need to install the drivers on your PC, then suggest you install CWM, root, flash a rom of your choice.
This is a good place to start
http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-root/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-on-ics-or-gingerbread/
I have the drivers installed properly, I rooted my phone a few months back..
nope, if your phone is not recognised you need to reinstall the drivers, happens all the time...just try it
Try this... Just "play along" until you get to the "unlock bootloader" option.
Once you get all that done, it should install CWM and everything for you. I have not tried it in your exact scenario; however, I have used variations of this tool for ages.

Bricked ?
if your stuck in fast boot mode , just flash original image from here :- https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/soju-jro03e-factory-c9f5a67d.tgz , using fastboot flash commands , pm me if you need a hand , ok
Start with this get ADB working right.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
Then this guide to flash CWM
http://www.intomobile.com/2012/01/30/install-clockworkmod-touch-recovery-galaxy-nexus-and-nexus-s/
After getting CWM to work, press volume up +power to go to Fastboot then choose recovery to enter CWM
if all works well you can flash any ROM you want
Good luck
Hi,
this is what happened.
I unlocked the bootloader of my z5, afterwards I flashed the twrp recovery.
After that I rebooted my phone and it only hangs on the kernel screen, it wont enter recovery neither boot into system.
Then I tried to flash the stock rom with flashtool but it wont go into flashmode either.
Tried it even with fastboot mode and nothing.
Any suggestions?

After unlocking the bootloader you should have flashed a custom kernel like Androplus V36 first before flashing the recovery img.
I had a similar case I think but with my old z1 compact. When you connect your phone via usb, is anything happen? What color is the led?
What I did was just make sure fastboot and flashmode drivers are installed. Kept plugging the phone while pressing volume button up and down and keep playing with it.
Make sure battery is fully charged and maybe try a different cable if you have another one.
If you succeed and manage to get into flashmode then reflash your ftf file and then let it boot.
If all is good and well, then download androplus kernel for example and extract the boot.img
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/kernel-andropluskernel-v1-t3246100
Install minimal adb and fastboot and connect into fastboot mode
Place the boot.img file extracted from androplus kernel in your minimal adb folder and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
if it says okay two times u can then flash twrp recovery by using the command fastboot flash recovery twrp.img where twrp.img replaced by the name of your recovery img file.
Sorry if im not clear enough, but I hope this helps you.
Well, the led only flashes shortly in red, after that comes the kernel bootlogo and nothing else.
When the bootlogo shows up the is not flashing in any color.
When I try to connect it to pc it wont recognize it, and the phone starts booting and hangs on the kernel bootlogo again.

Have you tried connecting and opening xperia companion to see if you can do a software repair there?
Or else, I would just leave it connected to a charger for the night and try again, and just keep playing with the volume up and down button while connecting it.
Also you can try installing your drivers another time, and try an older or newer version of Flashtool.... this has helped a couple of times too for me in the past so thats another thing you could try.
Good luckk:good:
Well at this moment my pc just decided to recognize the device so I am flashing now the stock firmware ATM
Thanks for the assistance

Good to hear you revived your phone
Remember if you wanna flash custom kernel:
First unlock bootloader if it isnt ofcourse
Via minimal adb and fastboot flash boot.img from a custom kernel of your choice, I would recommend androplus kernel v36.
Next you could flash a twrp recovery.img via fastboot right after flashing the kernel, but I would first boot the system for a time to see if it boots okay.
Good luck

My phone is running perfectly fine. But after updating my phone last week officially, my PC doesn't recognize the phone in Fastboot. I'm trying to flash a custom recovery and root it, but in CMD, when I type fastboot devices, nothing comes up.
I am in the Fastboot mode when I try to do this. My phone was rooted earlier too with no issues. Also, in the Fastboot mode, The Bootloader version and the baseband version is blank. I tried different ports and a different cable along with a different PC, nothing seems to help.
Any suggestions?
Hi, did you ever get an answer?
I am having this exact same problem as well. Computer isn't recognizing the device as a fastboot device, I can't even run the fastboot boot recovery.img command to get into recovery.
I was able to get it to recognize my phone in fastboot mode by following the directions in this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...nize-device-but-adb-can.4040635/post-84052027
Though I never was able to root or install TWRP, this did allow my computer to recognize the phone in fastboot mode.
I tried installing the pixel experience rom and after I flashed the aex recovery before side loading the ROM, it went into bootloop and ended up with the stock recovery and ROM. I tried to flash TWRP recovery and go a message that the the boot/recovery image is destroyed so I tried to flash the stock boot image back and since then I am not able to get it out of fastboot mode.
I tried everything, flashing the recovery again, both stock and TWRP and also tried using the flash-all to flash the stock ROM back but nothing seems to be working.
When using the flash-all, I get 'partitions not found' and 'flashing is not allowed in critical partitions' error.
I even tried msmtool but I am not able to get my phone into edl mode for the tool to detect it.
Tried holding the vol+/vol- and connecting the usb cable but to no vain, the tool does not seem to detect it.
I even tried using the all-in-one tool but my phone is not getting detected when it is turned off but it gets detected when it's in flashboot mode from where I cannot enter edl.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to fix it? Or if taking the phone to the official service center help?
Can you reboot from fastboot to edl by entering fastboot reboot-edl? Or similar, don't know exactly anymore
Alternatively see if this can help you getting into edl: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-how-to-reboot-to-edl-from-fastboot.3394292/
Hello. I have a Poco X3 NFC and this is my problem:
I had OrangeFox recovery on it. I wanted to install another rom (from Arow OS because it wasn't work well), and one of the requirements was a decrypted device. I've flashed a file which is said it can decrypt it (and it did). After the flash, I rebooted my phone and everything was fine until I rebooted my phone again. Now the recovery bootlooped, the phone can't boot the system and adb doesn't recognize my phone in fastboot mode. It's weird that when the phone stucks at OrangeFox logo, adb recognizes my device (as in recovery mode). So I type the command "adb reboot fastboot" and it loops at the recovery again. I can go fastboot mode but fastboot doesn't recognize my phone, so I can't flash anything either. It's 4:20 a.m. in here and I can't sleep because of this.
Can u restore a backup?

No. I can't reach anything in my phone. Currently I am waiting for the battery run out maybe something would change
Can you access orange fox itself?
Your battery can take weeks to run out. But try it.

Do you have stock recovery?

No. I think it's not impossible to find in somewhere but my main problem is my PC won't recognize my phone in the fastboot mode. If it would, I can flash twrp or anything.
You need fastboot to access fastbootd right?

I do not understand what you mean but I can go into the fastboot mode in my phone, the problem is adb doesn't recognize my phone.
Your PC sees your device though?

When I plug in my cable, I can hear that "something is plugged in" voice in my pc. When I look device manager, it shows the phone as "Android Composite ADB Interface". When it stucks in recovery, it doesn't quickly boot so I can see my device in adb:
List of devices attached
940ab842 recovery
this is showed in adb when my phone stucks at recovery, but I can give commands like "reboot".
But when I type " reboot system", it doesn't reboot it system and just tries to open recovery mode, and recovery mode doesn't open, just loops.
I type ''reboot fastboot", but it still tries to open recovery and again, it loops.
I type "reboot bootloader", at this time, it can boot to the fastboot mode, there is an orange "fastboot" word at the middle. When I go back to adb and type "adb devices", it shows nothing.

No, I cannot. It is looped. This is the another problem prevents me to recover my phone.

I think Arrow OS files still in my phone but somehow it pretends like it can't detect them. And it wants to boot directly to the recovery mode but the another problem is recovery mode stuck in loop. When I want to flash a new recovery, this time I can't connect my phone to my pc when it's in the fastboot mode. It's like a problems chain and I couldn't find any exit.
sorry, no idea

Guess so, I'll go to a phone repair shop to see if they can do something about it (maybe their pc can detect my phone and they can flash another recovery), and if not then I am ****ed.

DUDE I ****ING SOLVED IT!
FIRSTLY, **** ORANGEFOX, if anybody see this do not use orangefox.
Secondly, actually I still have the same problem. TWRP is also stucks at the loop, but there is an interesting difference that TWRP tries to loop one time and after the fail, it suddenly boots the system.
And since I can flash something with fastboot, now I think i can save my phone. Now I'm trying to install stock rom, i'll update after.
How I solved:
Installing the Google Universal USB Drivers. It has a weird method to install, and I wasn't know you can install a driver even the phone is in the fastboot mode. So thanks to that I was able to install usb drivers and finally I could get fastboot to recognize my device. The first thing I did was installing TWRP.
My problem was not solved even I installed TWRP because TWRP was doing the same thing, but one thing was different: TWRP was trying to boot recovery, it couldn't and after it was booting to the system. So I've realized how amazing TWRP is. But it wasn't solved my problem completely though, I think its problem is related to that decryption file.
Currently, I've managed to install stock rom and I haven't encountered any problem.
And I'm happy because my mother won't beat me with her slippers.
