[Q] Stuck at ASUS splash screen after April update (RESOLVED)

Ok so i've looked, cant find anything to help me out here... Its always possible i used the wrong search terms but i think i did pretty good...
Anyway, i had flashed i believe a CWM version of ICS when it first came out because it was easy to do, and i was able to keep root. Well I ended up with the CWM Recovery version that had the problem of constantly booting into CWM, so i fixed that and the tablet was telling me there was a firmware update, so i did it..
Now im stuck at the splash screen... When i try to boot into Recovery, it says its loading the recovery image but never does anything else. When i tried to load the other screen where you can choose recovery or the OS, i think people call it the linux screen? I dont remember, but when i did that, the big battery meter displayed on the phone for a second then disappeared... Wont turn on now, so i just plugged it in.. Is there something im missing? Or something i can do that anyone is aware of?

Check if the Android Debug Bridge works, and is your device a B60 or lower, (sbkv1)? If so you can use NvFlash to restore the tab.

Its B90, SBKv2...
Last time i tried to boot, i tried Power+Volume Up and i saw the large battery that android phones typically show when they are powered off and you plug it in.. If i remember right, TF101 typically boots up if you plug it in when turned on, but it turned on, flashed that battery image and shut off, havent been able to turn it on since... Plugging it into my computer though, it wont turn on, plugging it into the wall outlet it turns on and sticks at the splash screen, so i'm gonna leave it there for a bit and see if it charges, then i'll try plugging it into the comp to see if ADB works... I'll let you know, thanks!

To get to recovery its power +vol down. Power + vol up gets you to apex mode, blank screen.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

.....don't know if I read all your info correct but to enter recovery is volume down + power until you get a message at the top of the screen then you let go both and press volume up to enter recovery or if you don't hit volume up it takes you to the cold boot / wipe data screen.

Yes, i posted that... I tried booting to recovery and it freezes when it says its loading the recovery image.
I was trying other combinations trying to remember the linux screen or whatever it was called, but either way. ADB mode doesnt work, im stuck at the splash screen.

SOLUTION: Do not do the update after fixing your TF101 if you have this same problem, because you'll have it again! Either way, here's what you do.
1) Since you cant shut off the TF101, hold the power button until the screen goes blank, then immediately let go of the power button and hold volume down. 2) The splash screen will re-appear, dont let go of the Volume Down button until you see the text at the top left corner of the screen prompting you to press volume up to enter recovery.
2) Dont press Volume Up since it will freeze trying to get into recovery. Instead, just wait and make sure your not holding down or pressing any buttons.
3) After a few second, you will be presented with two icons, one to wipe data and one to boot android/linux, selecting android/linux WILL work and boot, but you'll have the same issue as before without fixing anything if you reboot again. Follow the instructions to wipe your data. YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING!
4) At this point, Recovery still wont work. Boot your TF101 and get it setup and use the Play Store to download a terminal emulator
5) Open the terminal emulator and type SU and press enter, confirm superuser access.
6) Type in the following and press enter when done: echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0
7) Restart your transformer, let it boot normally the first time, after that, recovery should work.
8) Problem solved, DONT install the update this time! Install a custom ROM the typical way using CWM, and your set!

So, one thing i've noticed is im being spammed out of my mind from the OS to do that system update, so i've found that the best thing to do once your bootable, is to flash a custom ROM.
I tried this but went back to the same ICS version I had before, and ran into the same problems. Ended up with a whole other ROM, and now all problems are solved!
Good luck to anyone that has this issue!

so you lost all data, all apps, all settings, all the effort and work and time to config apps and settings... UGH
I am in the same boat on my TF201 after the JB update bricked my tablet... really pisses me off as Asus says RMA it (which you know they will just wipe your data) or wipe the data yourself and hop it works. So badly want to salvage my app settings and all the work I did to trick out my tablet. F***** Asus, their own update fried my tablet.

Impossible Unlocking and Disappearing Recovery.

Hi guys !
I have an issue with my OnePlus One.
I decided to start fresh with a ROM I've been using (Cyanogen 13). After flashing it, I decided to set up my settings before installing any apps. I created my pattern (4x4) and then, an other guest as I have two google account. One this second account, I created a pattern (3x3).
After a few minutes, I wanted to go back to main user but the pattern was different. It has become a 3x3 pattern and I can't find a way to unlock my phone.
I wanted to wipe everything but I can boot on recovery. My phone shows me the OnePlus logo without Android below it and it stays like this until I turn it off.
So, the recovery might have dissapeared. The problem is that I can't access my main account to turn on 'usb debugging'.
Do you have any solution ? Thank you in advance guys.

You should be able to enter the different accounts by clicking on the profile pic at the top-right of the lockscreen. Lets hope you can enter your phone the way. Otherwise I would recommend flashing TWRP again. Just lemme know if you need help, I'm almost always on standby.

Recovery can be manually accessed by
1.powering off
2. hold vol down + power until the phone vibrates
3. when the phone vibrates let go of power but keep hold of vol down
4. let go of vol down when the TWRP logo (or your recovery) shows. Note you should wait at least 5mins to be safe. Mine has taken 2mins on occasions
I do not think I am aloud to post links but there is a youtube video which I do it in time with If im worried I bricked it
Follow a youtube video called "How to Reset OnePlus One | Hard Reset | Factory Setting | Original Setting | Recovery Mode" from 15s and follow it until you get into recovery (in time with it)

Unbricking HTC U12+

Hey guys - I hope you're doing well.
I recently got an HTC U12+, but wanted to try using a custom ROM due to all of the bloatware . Unfortunately I think I've ended up bricking my device. Here are some things I've since tried:
- Restoring to the backup I made beforehand in TWRP - restore works without any errors, but then just hangs at the boot screen
- Method 1 from this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/u12-plus/how-to/collection-htcu-u12-ruu-firmware-t3794664) - TWRP always says the zip files are corrupted for some reason
- Method 3 from that same thread - this actually worked before, but I tried installing a custom ROM again, somehow messed up again, and now this method no longer works as it just hangs at the "HTC" boot screen for eternity
- Both methods in this thread (https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-htc-firmware-ruu-and-zip/) - the first one leads to a "failed remote 99 ru unknown fail terrible mishap" error, and for some reason my PC doesn't see my phone when I try the second despite being able to see it in file manager
- Probably many other methods that I've now forgotten
I know this is a whole lot of information, but I'm in desperate need of some help. I typically like to troubleshoot things myself, but I've been trying to fix this for quite some time now and could definitely use another set of (much more experienced) eyes. I greatly appreciate any help you guys can provide.
Thanks.

Flash RUU with SD card method
Download RUU from here(important:check your CID): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wIRrVQawd5rD-t9VKPQ-SdRK20RcJVZhwD7lhmPIK8w/edit#gid=0
1. rename RUU to 2Q55IMG.zip
2. copy zip in the root of your sd card. - external card / not internal - it will not work
3. reboot to download mode,
4. your device will pick up the zip file and flash it.
5.follow on screen instructions and enjoy your RUU(this method erase all your data)

I'm having an issue with my u12+ where it just continually reboots to a message saying "The boot loader is unlocked and the software integrity cannot be guaranteed. Any data stored on the device maybe available to attackers, do not store sensitive data on this device" and then it shows the white HTC logo that says Powered by Android down the bottom of the screen, it stays like that for about 5 minutes and then reboots and does the same thing over again.
Holding the power down button does nothing, it will not turn off the phone. Holding power and volume down does nothing either. The phone just does this every 6 minutes and reboots and cycle and that's it.
I've tried putting the file 2Q55IMG_IMAGINE_DUGL_O80_SENSE10GP_hTC_Asia_TW_1.53.709.1_Radio_sdm845-000201b-1807311356_release_531499_signed_2_4.zip (renamed to 2Q55IMG.zip) on the root of a 8gb Fat32 formatted SD card, but I just can't get into recovery or download mode.
I've tried holding down all 3 side buttons for minutes, or just the power button, or combination of buttons, they all do nothing to the phone. (it's as tho they are disabled, but sometimes holding a combination of the 3 will make the phone vibrate a little bit, but in no particular time or order)
When the phone is in either state (locked bootloader message or white HTC logo) my Windows 10 PC sees the phone plugged in as a "USB Input Device", not an Android Phone or Android Device. So using ADB or Fastboot commands do not work to it. I've tried to force the driver to the HTC driver but that does not work.
I also tried using the RUU_IMAGINE_UHL_O80_SENSE10GP_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.30.617.2.exe file, but once again it doesn't detect my phone.
Any help would be kindly appreciated.
Cheers!
EDIT: So I was finally able to get into download mode by waiting until the phone done its 6 minute reboot and then holding power down until it vibrated once, then held volume up until it vibrated again, then let go of the power button, I was then able to choose recovery, download etc.
So I managed to get the file 2Q55IMG.zip to install, it said it installed 100% okay. The phone rebooted and now I'm stuck again just at the white HTC logo and Power by Android down the bottom of the screen.
This time the phone is not automatically rebooting itself and no key combinations will make it reboot. I've tried holding them all in certain combinations for periods of time, the phone will not reboot or turn off.
EDIT 2: So maybe I didn't wait long enough after installing the 2Q55IMG.zip file, I finally got the phone to reboot and now I've got a working phone again. happy days :laugh:

with the phone off, turn it on,when you feel first vibration
quick release power key and keep push volume down.
Smartphone should boot in bootloader mode.
can you get into this mode with this guide?

Not sure if I'm game enough again now to try and put LeeDrOiD and Magisk on it.

Moto G7 Power XT1955-5: Stuck in BootLoop at "Unlocked and Can't Be Trusted"

Moto G7 Power XT1955-5: Stuck in BootLoop at "Unlocked and Can't Be Trusted"
I made several attempts to install twrp-3.4.0-0-ocean to this new Moto G7 Power. I was able to Unlock the Bootloader, and even had TWRP running twice., but after it was rebooted it would never go back to TRWP, it would reboot to the Stock ROM. Then, runnng adb reboot bootloader would bring me back to the stock bootloader page.
Each time it boots, it has displayed the "Your Device Has Been Unlocked and Can't Be Trusted." page, and then would eventually boot. Annoying, but ok. It is what it is.
However, this last attempt to reboot from the stock bootloader has created an endless bootloop to that "Cant Be Trusted" page.
No combos of holding down the down volume for 3 seconds with the power key.. or holding down the power key for 15 or 20 seconds.. nothing works. All it does it turn the screen off for a couple of seconds and then goes back to the "Can't Be Trusted" warning page.
Well.. turns out it does work, it's just finnicky. This video showed me how to do it.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA0DHvbIlWY
Holding down the Down Volume and Power for several seconds until the screen goes black, release the buttons, then waiting a moment will allow the bootloader to appear.
1- Should I replace the stock rom? If so, how? I can't boot far enough along to run adb push.. and TWRP will not run.
What I cant do now is factory restore the device. Where can I get a stock rom, or any suggestions? I am pretty sure that's what I get for trying to use the xt1955_5.img file from Minimal+adb_fastboot_platform-tools_r29.0.6_2020 on unofficialtwrp.com's how to page, right?
Thanks in advance..

Glad you're out of boot loop.

Recovered from bootloop and "dead" bootloader screen! Tips to recovery
I was able to Rescue the device from periodic BootLoops and a dead end Bootloader screen.
I referenced the information on this thread in the XDA forums, specifically the “Motorala Unbricking Tools” section.
I then tried the "LMSA: Lenovo's Motorola Smart Assistant" thread to find the link to the Lenovo / Motorola download page.
The Rescue software is a bit clunky. Powerful, but clunky.
There are also some cool tools such as Clipboard Copy Text between Device and PC, a Gif Maker, a Ringtone Maker, and a SCREEN RECORDER!!
Back on Track with the Rescue:
-Linux or Mac versions are NOT available; Windoze only.
-You will need at least 2gb of ram in your virtual Windoze7 machine to run it or it will not run in a useful manner.
- Parallels16/Windoze7-64bit worked fine.
-WINE based installs will NOT work.
To run, you will need to enable USB Debugging, although there are two other ways to connect the phone I did not also try. There even appears to be a way to rescue even a truly bricked dead device.
To Rescue your device:
Download, Install, and Run Rescue and Smart Assistant.
The Rescue process will NOT relock your bootloader.
Select the Rescue tab, then select Rescue Now. If you need to backup the device, try the Backup button right next to the Rescue Now button.
The application has some bugs, shortcomings.. here's some heads up to reduce Stress caused by those bugs..
The software will ask you to select the phone you own. The slider dialogue UI is badly done, so you will go back and forth a dozen times before learning how to navigate the menu. It might auto-recognize, but it did not on mine. Good luck!
Next, download the ROM.. the progress bar does not reflect what is actually going on. Once the 2bg down is 100% complete, it will sit there for a LONG TIME doing nothing. Dont kill the app and restart. It's actually busy unpacking the .zip Rom file into a directory tree on your harddrive. Just go eat some lunch, and come back.
Then, a similar issue occurs when you install the ROM. The progress bar is pretty much done, it just sits there doing nothing.. Let it go for a long time.. it's actually doing it's job, and the progress bar is just badly done.
If you are going to use the backup.. TURN OFF YOUR POWERSAVING stuff on both ends. If it is interupted by Power Saving/Sleep mode, the software will start at the beginning. The backup process takes hours, not minutes, so this is not a good result.
Once backed up, if you are moving to a new phone, there is a couple of ways to do that. I am going to perform these functions today or tomorrow, and will update with the results of those efforts.

Need help with my Google FRP locked [non-rooted] LGL455DL

I made the mistake of Factory Resetting my phone after a few failed attempts at remembering the Pattern to unlock the phone, in doing so I ended up being stuck in the set-up process because I forgot the Google account I was logged into on it before the Factory Reset, had been an account I just quickly made on the spot months ago just to set up an app on it. I'm posting here for help with this since I'm on day 4 of trying to find a way to bypass this and my head is ready to explode. I feel like someone with a fresh mind would be able to point me in the right direction.
If anyone can let me know if I'm doing something wrong or missing some steps that will help me try any one of these, or honestly any advice at all... I'd very much appreciate it and it'd help relieve a huge chunk of this ridiculous headache this has all been.
Thanks in advance!
What I've tried thus far --
- I know for most ways around this, USB debugging needs to be enabled. But since I cannot get past the initial set-up process, I can't access the settings to enable it.
- I also know that for a lot of Android devices USB debugging is enabled by default in Recovery Mode but everywhere I've searched for the hardware combination to boot into Recovery/Download mode, all say the same thing:
Turn phone off > Power up with Vol. Down + Power button until 'Download Mode' is displayed (for boot into Download mode, while holding Vol. Down + Power button plug OTG cable into device)
- My problem with this is that on my device, Vol. Down + Power button, restarts the phone. So instead of 'Download Mode', I'm just restarting the phone over and over again. I was able to get my phone to boot into was Safe mode using the Power button + Side button.
- I've also tried getting around this through a series of steps which involved the 'TalkBack' accessibility feature, but when I try toggling to enable it I just get a message saying "Complete setup first to continue"
From there --
I started looking up Stock ROMs that I'd be able to just flash the firmware. But for the life of me, I cannot seem to find anything for this device. And this is where I'm pretty much at now.

To remove FRP lock you boot into phone's Recovery mode and apply
1. Wipe data
2. Factory Reset
Every Android device gets shipped by default with Android Recovery.

I can't get my device to boot into Recovery mode. Everywhere I look up, it tells me to Power off device, then Press Vol. Down + Power key until the menu appears. But on my device, all that combination does is force the phone to restart.
