the phone does nothing how do i know if it 100% chared and if it charge?

is this the solution?

Just pressing volume up and down won't get you into download mode. You need to apply a usb cable as well.
Maybe that is why your NS stays black.

Doen't work
i also tried to just hold volume up and on button
and hope that is go into fastboot ( only not on the screen )
but that doesn't work either
hope that er is someone out there who can help me

Hi,
You have a bricked bootloader and JTAG is the only answer in this scenario. That is my video you posted and I'd be happy to take care of this for you. Just PM me if you have any other questions.

you have to power off ur phone first.
1) power off ur phone or just remove battery and put it back in ( ur phone should not be plugged either)
2) hold vol up and vol down
3) press the power button and keep your fingers on the vol up and vol down until u enter download mode
4) plus the cable now
5) reflash bootloader through odin

What did you flash that killed the bootloader?

That's why i could kill myself at the moment:O i din't look twice when i flash a zip
but i wanted to go from 2.3.3 to 2.3.2 ( because i can overclock to 1.6 )
the flash was succesful ( 100% ) i did go back and reboot
and from then the screen stays black
( this is really hard i suck in english xD )
update! : i think it was one of these that i flasht, But i dont really now
353e267378cd.signed-soju-GRH78C-from-GRH78.353e2673.zip
but sofar i now is that the stock update ?

The zip in question, does it weigh around 12-14 megs by any chance? Not the typical 85 for a full ROM?
These are "patch" zips that contain only new files and patches for modified files and partitions instead of full files. They're supposed to be flashed strictly on the ROM they were meant for, normally a completely stock ROM of a specific build number. (I'm not aware of any ROM maker out there, other than Google, providing this kind of zip update.)
Good luck,

[Q] Can not boot into bootloader

So a fresh One S
Used Hasoon200's all in One to unlock bootloader and root.
Flashed CWM
followed instructions to load Dark Jelly
will only reboot into recovery.
I can not boot into bootloader, I have tried
..adb reboot bootloader
..reboot phone holding downvolume
its my bosses phone so any help would be appreciated. whoopsie.
Can not use RUU because it has to bet into fastboot.
I have pushed files using ADB push XXXX /sdcard and the files go through the transfer process but then are not visible in /sdcard.

Looks like your new here. Just a heads up you need to post questions in the Q & A forum.
To get into the boot loader this is how I do it.
Turn off the phone
Hold down Volume -
Hold down power for 5 secs then release while continuing to hold volume -
Then keep pressing power over and over until the bootloader pops up and stop.
It sounds weird but it works every time for me.

Hold the Vol- button as you turn it off and keep hold when turning it on again.

Why do you have a Ville XC? Was it shipped S-OFF?
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2

make sure your phone is off, not hibernating (neat HTC feature)
to completely turn off your HTC, hold the powerbutton alone for some seconds until your home/menu/.. buttons start to blink, when they stop blinking, your device is off, you can let go the power button.
now hold power and vol down to enter bootloader.
other option
if you have htc booting into android, enable USB debugging, download ADB-tools, and enter "adb reboot bootloader" or "adb reboot recovery"
good luck
or remove the battery, ah, bummer we can't, we have a One S

[Q] MT4GS Doubleshot

Ok is it just me or is there no one on this site that can help me? I have asked my question and ZERO replies. I have a MT4GS doubleshot i have rooted it and installed a custom recovery clockworkmod 5.0.2.7
I CANNOT access my bootloader. When I power down and hold volume + and - plus power to boot into recovery all i get is a frozen purple screen.
I can however boot into android recovery no problem. I would like to install custom roms and play with my phone. Is there anyone else out there that can help me??? I have searched google and this site the only thing i can find is bits and pieces of info and after i compile all this fragmented data it DOES NOT HELP AND GIVES ZERO USEFUL INFO. If someone could please write a tutorial on how to properly step by step accomplis this task I would be greatful. Thanks

Holding volume down while powering on should get you to bootloader
Same thing with
adb reboot bootloader
Not sure how youre able to power on straight to recovery though, didn't know it was possible
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

No holding volume down and power does not get me into bootloader it just hangs at the splash screen. and yes depending on ur model holding power plus volume up should get u into recovery mode. However I cannot access my boot loader abd reoot boot loader boots me into a hung purple screen.

There is only one model of the doubleshot, and to my knowledge there is no key combo to boot directly to recovery on this phone. Can you do a couple things for me
Take a picture of this purple screen and upload it
Take a screenshot of your about phone under settings
Copy input/output from terminal/cmd when you enter
adb reboot bootloader

I believe you, its just that the key combo you mentioned has never worked on my phone nor have I heard about it in the forums
If you can't take a picture that's fine, just thought it may help me help you is all
Looking for all info about phone, but mostly
Model number
Baseband
Kernel
Build number
What I mean is when you enter
adb reboot bootloader
Into cmd (windows) terminal (Linux) I would lime to see the output
If you could simply copy and paste the result from that command it would be of help to me in order to help you to the fullest

[Tip] Unbrick your TF300T (fastboot, full wipe)

Hi!
After a few days of misery with custom ROMs and finally bricking my TF300T I did a radical wipe to start from scratch with the stock ROM. But first let me explain my problem with the custom ROMs: WiFi doesn't activate, seems like it's missing some drivers or something. Without WiFi my tablet is useless. I've tried 3 different ROMs and nothing worked. Then i flashed the latest ASUS stock ROM via fastboot --> blob-file and theeeeeeen...

...my encryption password was no longer accepted...
Needless to say I was angry, confused, mad, dissapointed and wanted to smash that stupid thing to the ground...
So I searched a little and stumbled upon this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12
To make it short: It works! :laugh: :good:
This guy saved my ass! But it also means you do a FULL wipe including your user data and everything - you really start from scratch. User data had to be deleted because I had to get rid of the encryption password. For me it was worth it because it also shows that it's not a hardware failure and the WiFi is working correctly...

How did you manage to get your tablet into fastboot because I can not get into fastboot it just loops on the Asus logo every time it turns on.
Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk

When you are on latest bootloader just press & hold Power + Vol down, when the tablet is powered down. You'll then see three icons and don't have to do anything further because the tablet is now in fastboot mode...
When "RCK" is highlighted and you press Vol up, you'll start the recovery (CWM or TWRP, if you have flashed one)...

I know this. The thing is I don't even get these choices it just hangs on the Asus logo (the one that has the words "this device is unlocked" in the top left or right of the screen. ) and goes nowhere and then hangs every time I try to pull up the boot option menu to select recovery or fastboot.

So even when you press & hold Power + Vol down nothing happens? Very strange...
Normally you should see "This device is unlocked" only for a second then the tablet starts the fastboot mode. Have you tried pressing these two buttons longer? Like 10 seconds or something? When you got stuck with the logo the tablet should reboot and hopefully go into fastboot mode. If not you have a serious problem...

Honor 6X almost bricked

Hello,
First: i'm sorry if i don't speak perfectly english but I hope someone could help me.
I got a one and a half years old Honor 6X BLN-L21 and it is almost bricked.
A year ago I tried to unlock the bootloader, to root my phone. I did a mistake which made me want to get back to normal rom by removing TWRP.
Since this moment, I can't update my phone or relock bootloader because:
- Every reboot there is a "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" message
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- I can't lock my bootloader because I can't access bootloader, because it needs a reboot and I get this message every reboot
- I can't update my phone for the same reason
- I can't access to recovery because it reboots everytime I turn off my phone one second later so it makes impossible to access recovery with volume buttons + power button
So I can't put a new rom with sdcard dload folder.
I can access my phone by waiting for it to get discharged, and then powering it with usb cable, and it boots normally.
Please help me, I really want to move to android Oreo.
Thanks

You should be able to boot to fastboot.
Connect phone to pc, press power key and once its in the process of shutdown, keep pressing the volume down key.

Power button to the shutdown, and then volume down, but it doesn't have the time because whatever i do, it restarts automatically as fast as possible
EDIT: I didn't understood why, but fastboot worked suddenly. I relocked my bootloader but I can't update my phone. Stuck in EMUI 5.1 because when I update eRecovery says my data partition is highly damaged and need to format. I did 2 formats but the eRecovery still blocks update with the same message.

Well, I'm not sure I want to open my phone just to update it. I want to update it, but I mean, isn't it risky to open ?

Why did you relock the boot loader tho. Unlock it and then follow Shashanks Guide. Works perfectly.
