[Q] Stuck on fastboot with broken pwr button

Hi I have the following problem: after I flash Cannibal open touch recovery I could not flash any .zip file so I decided that I go back to CWM touch so I restarted my phone. Phone booted into fastboot mode with the following message no boot or recovery IMG so I decided to flash recovery with fastboot. I opened the folder with fastboot command flash_recovery connect the phone to usb but the command line always showed waiting for device. I unplugged the phone and tried to press the volume keys but nothing happened as if it freezes. I pulled the battery and try it again but no response. I cant connect phone to odin because it has broken power button and after I insert the battery it always turn on itself. Please advise me what to do thank you.

Seems your drivers have gone corrupt. Try a different system and use Nexus Root Toolkit.

I tried this option but without success. Phone does not respond to anything. No volume up or volume down. It´s just stucked on bootloader.

This link says that if you get <waiting for device> , then fastboot is not configured properly. Check out the link over here.
You may also try this command "fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.3-crespo.img" to boot into recovery without installing it.

no hope

The reason you cannot navigate in fastboot/bootloader is that your powerswitch is probably stuck in the "on position"...does your device immediately power on when battery is inserted?
The way i solved this a few months ago was to completly remove my powerswitch from the board power my device on..use quickboot to enter fastboot menu and input commands...
Also completely removing your power button makes powering on your nexus alot more complicated.
what i did was go to download mode (holding vol+ and -) and pluging phone in..this takes you to download mode
then you need to get a copy of a boatloader file to flash via odin which will reset your phone and power it on...pm me if interested i can provide you with files necessary

Honor 6 H60-L02 impossible to charge the phone

Hi Guys,
1. I have upgraded my phone to OTA-EMUI 4.0_H60-L02-L12_6.2.1_6.3.1 which runs properly.
2. Afterwards, I wanted to root this phone again, which doesn't work neither with multi-tool nor TRWM.
3. After reboot the phone was going into animated Honor logo, but nothing more.
4. I tried to reinstall the original firmware using adb shell and dd. Same situation
Unluckily the phone doesn't boot normally after the reboot.
5. Pressing the power button for a while lets the phone vibrate ones and appear logo but nothing else happens.
Pressing 3 buttons lets the phone come up with the honor-logo, but nothing more.
Pressing power + vol- and connected usb cable lets the phone come up with fastboot.
When the phone is in fastboot mode my computer recognizes it as "Android Phone - Android Sooner Single ADB Interface",
but ADB doesn't show any devices. Fastboot works fine and is Unlocked. Hisuite doesn`t recognize device...search drivers but
nothing happens.
6. Unbricking the phone using fastboot (flash boot, cust, recovery and system) doesn't change anything.
Flashing the stock recovery, using a sd-card with dload folder and firmware and booting the phone with any button
combination doesn't change anything (no installer, no recovery). Flashing CWM and booting the phone with any button
combination doesn't change anything (no recovery). ADB doesn't show a device at any other point of booting.
7. Now the accu from my phone is empty and I can't charge it again, neither with USB-cable plugged to Computer nor with
standard cable plugged into a switch. I need help before playing tennis with this phoe!! :crying:
Any idea or solution how to fix all my problem?

L02/L12 - How to go back from EMUI 4.0 to EMUI 3.1
I flashed with fastboot:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash fastboot FASTBOOT.img
from OTA-EMUI 4.0_H60-L02-L12_6.2.1_6.3.1
Afterwards the phone began to charge again.
I copied the update.app from H60_EMUI3.1_Android5.1_6.1.1 to the folder DLOAD, inserted the SD -Card,
disconnected the USB cable from your PC, pressed 3btn till the Honor logo appears
continued to press 3btn for 8 -10 seconds and the recovery process began.
Thank a lot to panamera2011

Thanks Sam Cro!
I think your answer is underrated.
Most of my bricks on the Honor 6 (H60-L12) could be restored thanks to your help!

Need help! Super soft Bricked stock phone. Tried many methods!

Hi all. So my stock opo somehow got bricked overnight while charging. It's completely stock and I have no idea why.
Status of my problem:
-Stuck on Android boot screen.
-Able to access fastboot.
-Can't access recovery mode
-No TRWP
-it's still locked
-Tried unlocking with fastboot oem unlock cmd / toolbox but it just reboots back to android stuck screen after its done but its still locked after checking with fastboot oem device-info cmd.
*USB debugging not enabled (cant enable it cuz i cant go in my phone duh)
-Cm11 33r I think...
-Installed android adb on device manager
But couldn't detect it on the list ("adb devices" cmd)
-Able to detect serial using fastboot device cmd tho.
-Tried universal adp, adb bootloader driver, Samsung adb driver, composite driver and it still won't detect it on list.
-Tried using another usb port.
-computer doesn't detect phone unless I go on fastboot or hold power+up volume for 10 sec (this shows QHUSB_BULK)
-Tried using msm9874downloadtool.exe with cm 11, doesn't do anything even tho it's completed and it's green.
-Tried using msm9874downloadtool.exe with color os but it doesnt work as well, in fact, it made my screen have multiple grey lines vertically across my screen and no fastboot display or android display.
-Tried just flashing Cm11 33r images but it won't work cuz I'm locked.
-Tried unlocking but goes back to my other problem of device not being on the list and not having usb debugging enabled.
Tldr;
Phone stuck on Android boot screen
USB debugging not enabled
Phone is not unlocked so I can't flash anything
Thanks for your time and effort. I really need help.

I still need help guys plzzz. Thankss

Have you tried getting into download mode? I think you power it off. Connect to USB and hold vol down? Or vol down + power. Something like that. Once in DL mode, flash it. There's a tutorial somewhere.

download mode? you mean fast boot? power + down doesnt load anything. Power + up goes into fastboot mode.
And i cant flash anything because you have to unlock the phone first. But mine is not unlocked. And i cant unlock it with fastboot oem unlock cmd because all it does it reboots my phone. Yes i checked if im unlocked after that with fastboot oem device-info.

First try to go to recovery by pressing volume down+ power button at the same time and then clear data and factory reset. This will wipe out ur data on phone but u can revive ur device by flashing stock rom using flashing tolls available... Check youtube videos for flashing tools.
Once you clear the data and factory reset from recovery mlde then ur device will be at the state where there is no OS in it n just a stock kernel. Give it a try and let me know

I can't get into recovery. Power + down only stays at android boot screen.

Have the exact same issue. Did you find a fix???

Even if your bootloader is not unlocked you can flash stock rom. Use oneplus one flashtool and flash cm11s. There are plenty of videos available on net for these problem, just go through them or try the hard bricked video to solve your problem. I hope it helps you. I lost my one device because of a silly mistake so i know the pain.

I've tried flashing stock rom. Cm11 33r. But it keeps telling me I'm locked.

put it on fastboot mode, download the stock rom from this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541
Choose carefully between 16gb or 64
unzip the file and click on the flashall.bat or something like that , it's a script and it will flash everything
and you should be good
you will loose all your data, i don't know if you dont flash userdata and you remove it from the file and remove it's line from the script, maybe you wont loose your data, but try it
if you want i can help you through teamviewer

Sounds like you flashed the 3030 version of TWRP. Download the 3020 version and put it in your fastboot folder. Plug in the USB to PC
Hold power and volume up untill the phone reboots. While it's still off immediately change to power and volume down and hold till it goes into fastboot (bootloader)
Now fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
With the 3020 version.
Unplug the USB and hold power and volume up until it says the phone is booting.. let go and TWRP will load.
Go to Wipe / format data / type yes
Reboot to system and your all set

So I've tried that but the phone is still booting to recovery (flashing TWRP logo) no matter what.
Basically the phone is always on now because if hold the power button (or any other combination) for a few second it will just reboot back.
I have an access only to ADB, but I am not able to boot to bootloader at all, it seems the bootloader is damaged somehow.
Also that warning about unlocked OEM doesn't have that text saying "hold volume up to boot to recovery" etc. like before brick.

Hi there,
Try using the Huawei Multi Tool with the Unbrick option : https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/tool-huawei-multi-tool-team-mt-t3523923
Speaking from experience, this little fellow helped me recover my phone when I bricked it ON DAY ONE after failed root attempt... (Derp)
Let me know if it helped you
(Leave a thanks if it did )
EDIT : This tool is also useful if you want to get lazy whilst rooting. I use it constantly when flashing diffrent bits and pieces

Clearly follow My steps To unbrick and get normal device ::
Step 1 ::
Download the full firmware of your device.
Step 2 :
make sure that your bootloader is in unlocking state
Follow the video blindly ::: https://youtu.be/OMKDnBqbi3U?list=PL...eT9J26lkefvVkK
don't panic of mobile.
Step 3 :: done ..enjoy u did it
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you bricked on nougat then follow the below steps
step one :::
download the downgrade package to mm .
then extract the zip and open the update.app using HuaweiUpdateextrator in that select recovery and extract
1.now, boot your device into fastboot and flash the recovery (Optional)(try this if it said incompatible version on recovery)
2. on your sd card and make a folder "dload" . and copy the update.app which we have extracted earlier
3.the switch off the device and press all three buttons you will be reboot into recovery and done . you device will be okey

Booting to the bootloader is just a timing issue
Phone must be hooked to PC with USB
And volume up and power till it goes black
Then immediately volume down and power and Hold untill the bootloader loads
Keep trying until you get it

I appreciate your help but I've tried it multiple times always with the same result.
I also can use "adb reboot bootloader", but it will reboot again to stuck recovery.

I've tried that, but I am still stuck as that tool is using fastboot as every other tool to flash .img files.
Thank you for the tip though.

Plug phone into computer with USB, then hold down power + volume down until it eventually boots into bootloader. I had the same scenario as you and that's how I got into the bootloader. You can flash either a good TWRP or the stock recovery, either one will work.

Bricked Huawei P9 Lite - Stuck in Boot Screen

Hello,
as the title says... I bricked my phone. In the past, I successfully installed LineageOS on my old Galaxy S3. I got a used Huawei P9 Lite recently and wanted to install a custom ROM. Here's what happened:
1. Unlocked the phone
2. Accessed Fastboot mode
3. Installed TWRP* via fastboot flash recovery file.img
4. This didn't work and I read on the web, I could try to flash revocery2 with fastboot flash recovery2 file.img
5. This didn't help either, so I decided to cancel my plan and use the manufactorer's system since the system still booted (of course, I didn't install any custom OS).
6. The phone told me on each startup it's unlocked. I didn't need the unlock anymore, so I accessed the Fastboot mode again.
7. I re-locked the system by using fastboot oem relock password.
8. The phone asked me to do confirm this action and do a factory reset
9. After this, I'm stuck at the Huawei logo and can't access Fastboot mode anymore!
When I shut down the phone, it immediately restarts itself. No chance to get into Fastboot mode again, which I did through pressing Vol- and plugging in an USB cable.
*I tried several versions, 3.0.1 and 3.2.1 since no version worked
This may be a beginner's fault, my last phone was already unlocked and I had not a single problem back then. But this time... I hope you can help me.
What would happen if I let drain the battery down to 0% - the phone wouldn't restart of course. If I press Vol- and plug it in, would I come back to Fastboot mode or would it stay in this loop?
Any help is appreciated!
