well this is a new one for me considering how many android devices i've had in the past. but a device that wont reboot once a usb cable is plugged in is rather new.
so i was flashing a bunch of roms ... some are N and some are marshmallow on my lenovo p1a42 ....
for some reason now if the usb cable is plugged into a pc or even a wall charger and i reboot it -- it just sits still at a black screen .... the moment i unplug the cable it continues to reboot.
one of the roms i flashed had magisk ... although i am not sure if thats the cause or not.
i need to be able to hold the volume up + plug the usb cable to restore stock firmware. i cant do that now because once the cable is plugged in it wont boot.
i tried different usb cables. same issue.
HELP!
((EDIT: Issue resolved. wiped internal storage + flash/cache/etc))

You can try to reboot to recovery using adb method
Instead of rebooting it manually
adb reboot recovery

I restored a backup with TWRP and am now stuck booting to the bootloader. To make things worse neither by volume buttons or my power button works so I can't get back to recovery.
The bootloader screen says Fastboot Mode at the top in red letters but I cannot gain usb access to reflash a new rom. Is there something I need to do to enable USB in the bootloader (I have the SDK and drivers installed on my PC already) or could my usb connection also be busted
Type from CMD:
fastboot devices

That should get you some info. If it doesn't work, your computer isn't set up properly.

Nothing comes up which makes me think the usb connection is busted as well. I dropped my phone a few weeks ago which ended up breaking my power and volume buttons but now that I think about it I haven't used the usb data connection since then so I wouldn't know if something happened to that too. I can still charge my phone though. adb/fastboot are set up correctly because I've used it from my PC before. When I'm in the bootloader and plug the usb it doesn't show up on my pc so I think the drop broke it too
I have a Z3 which won`t charge from anything other than magnetic cable.I tried holding volume up and pluging the cable, only blue light shows and nothing, tried holding volume down, flashes red green blue and nothing again.When i connect it only with usb phone starts with a big battery symbol but doesn`t charge...tried holding power+ vol down and vol up again nothing tried pressing the reset button near the sd slot but again no connection.Bad part is that I don`t have any drivers for it on this PC but still it does not connect...
What version of android you are at are you using stock or aosp rom or stock or custom kernals both things can affect your charging in your phone. You can download drivers from the Sony,s website and can start flashing stock roms the charging part can be the software or if you have a broken connector on your Xperia Z3
It`s 6.0.1 version, but my PC does not recognise the device...

Then my friend you are in a heap of trouble. Well sort of two more questions i need to ask your question is confusing me
Q1 can your device boot to the OS ?
Q2 Have you tried fast boot if not flash an custom recovery like TWRP
If you have the case that your phone does not boot would not detect or be recognized by either Flash mode or fastboot mode then your phone might need some work

I gues I will have to take it sony service...
Hello, this is my first publication...
A few days ago I made the update of my terminal, from version 6.0.1 and I can not flash version 7 from flashtool, everything worked fine, after flashing the computer was up to version 7.1.1, after a few days observe Which at the time of downloading and connecting the computer started with constant restarts or bootloops, until you can turn it on, also the computer occasionally has problems with the speaker, plus flash failure does not turn on ...
All this happened after flashing it
I can not enter the flash mode, pressing the volume button -, the phone turns on the green light and turns off and on again and is not detected by the computer, I would greatly appreciate the help!
Please
- do a hard power off: VOL+ and Off
- do a factory reset
- plug the USB cable to another port
- reinstall USB drivers
- try another cable
- try another PC

Thank you for responding to my post.
- from the hard power off: VOL + and Off
I do it several times, and still nothing
- from the factory reset
It is restored by the sony configuration and neither does the equipment works normal except for the LED flash of the camera, and sometimes the problem of the mentioned speakers
In addition to proving in 3 different computers, with two different cables in addition, installing the drivers and everything, I do not know what else to do, when I connect the phone with fastboot is recognized, or through trasnferencia, there is no problem with that, only the flashmode .
I have the same problem with my XZ but found a workaround. When prompted to turn of your phone and plug it in flash mode reboot the phone instead. When the screen goes black hold the volume down, when the phone turns back on it will go into flash mode. Works for me every time.

Strange enough I reproduce this "flashing green-led" flashmode issue today, but it was the USB cable problem (type c -> type c).
The cable in question can access mtp mode and fastboot mode normally thou.
It is likely not the same issue like yours, but still very strange.

same problem can not enter flashmode but can enter fastbootmode....
I have the same problem.
I've found that my phone does not enter flash mode at the first Led flash, so plug the cable while hoding volume up (fastboot mode), if the led just flashing blue then I hold volume down to get into flash mode. else if it connected in fastboot mode then i just unplug it and do again.
Thanks for the tip! Works well with my Xperia XZ + Lenovo T460 + Aukey USB cable combo.
Had a headache with phone not entering the flash mode. Flashtool said it's connected in recovery mode, usb debugging off. Perhaps sth to do with trying to update the TWRP to the latest version (3.2.2) via the PlayStore app and turning the recovery non-functional. I wanted to update to the latest FW before reflashing TWRP in fastboot mode.
Hi
I've made a bad mistake which I'm hoping people can help me with. I tried updating my phone wit MIUI 8 as I had an issue with my battery. My updater app on my phone was not working so I downloaded zip file and tried doing it manually from the app. Then my phone just turned off and I'm unable to turn on or charge. None of the button combinations work and when I plug in to my laptop through usb port I get a message saying it doesn't recognise device. I've tried using unlock function on website but get error messages in chinese around ip address to malfunctioned phone number so no luck there.
Appreciate any help as I had a lot of information, apps and data that i would hate to lose. I lost my wife 3 months ago and I have some precious memories on that phone. I know I should have done a backup beforehand and that was stupid of me.
Is there anyway i get can my back in without losing data. if not then anyway at all to get my phone working.
Thanks, from a very down MI4C user
Try holding one of the power buttons(don't remember which one) and plug in the cable so the phone boots into fastboot mode. If you manage to get into fastboot boot TWRP and copy your files straight from it as it has mtp support. If your PC sees your phone as an unrecognizable device there's a big chance you can recover your data. Last hope would be to use a modified usb cable for edl flashing although this way you'll most likely lose your data.

Thanks, first suggestion doesn't work unfortunately. I have now been given permission to unlock bootloader but problem is the device is not recgonised due to usb issue.
So I cant turn on, won't charge etc and none of button combinations work. Has anyone encountered the issue with usb before. Unsure of 'modified usb cable for edl flashing'. All very frustrating.
thanks for any help
Anyone else have any ideas. Desperate here without my phone and important data
Have tried everything at this stage...utter despair. My phone just won't turn on or charge or enter fastboot mode etc
Anyone please help
The modified USB cable that I spoke of is used to force boot the phone into emergency download mode. It's baisicly a last hope flashing method that should work regardless of how broken the phone is. The only downside is that using this mode you only can flash via miflash and this will wipe your data. As for the cable you can either make one (look for deep flash USB cable schematic, it involves swapping 2 wires) or just buy one. Once you get into edl just follow the unofficial bootloader unlock guide to flash the 6.1.7 rom as it is flashed in the emergency mode.
Edit: whenever you plug your phone into your PC does the screen or led diode light up at all? You can also try holding vol- and power button and plug the phone into a charger (not PC) to see if it will respond at all. Charger gives more current so maybe it will force the phone to boot.

Thanks Adi. I don't think I will be able to make one. I've seen some threads elsewhere about getting into EDL mode, do you always require modified cable to do so?
Nohting happens when I plug it into PC, no lights etc. Tried charging using normal power supply but nothing happens either. Have even tried connecting to powerbank overnight but no power is taken from it.

So there is no "unrecognized device" popping up in windows anymore?
If so, let the phone lie for 1 more day (without connecting any power sources to it). Afterwards charge it (with a normal charger and a cable that works for another phone) for about 2 days (or until you see the notification led charging). if nothing happens you can try a different charger or an usb port for another 2 days.
If your computer recognizes the device ("unrecognized device" or just any reaction by connecting the phone) try to reinstall all the drivers (xiaomis/qualcoms, as well as adb, fastboot) and see if there is something happening.
Report back if it helped.
Edit: Did you try different cables? had similar problems with op2 (not recognizing) with xiaomi cable...
Edit2: to make sure the device is completely dead, use a linux distro (e.g. Ubuntu, ensures that there are no driver problems, you can install it on a usb drive) and a cable which surely works (try it on at least 2 other phones, if data transfer works its ok) then first install fastboot (ctrl+t to open a terminal) by copy/pasting "sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot". Afterwards hold vol- and power button for at least 12secs and plug mi4c in (release the buttons after plugging it in). Now you can run "sudo fastboot devices" and see if there is sth listed (should even recognize it in edl).

You don't need to use the modified cable as you can enter edl from fastboot, but the cable method is used to force the phone into it if you can't enter it the normal way. As for rescuing it, try the method @wertus33333 suggested.

Did it work?? Any information would be appreciated, so the next one with this problem doesn't have to open a new thread.... @colb16
Apologies for not updating, I got an answer on MIUI official forum from a very helpful member called Codex. Below are steps he asked me to follow and although it took a few attempts my phone came back to life after following below and then pressing power and volume down for numerous minutes.

What cable you r talking about usd to usb? Please help me how to get x96s stick into recovery mode i need to install firmware on it cuz it's stuck one boot loop...i need to fix it or my dad will kill me.
Hi. If you have boot loop. Short these pins for 2-3 seconds while holding reset. USB cable, power cable must be already plugged, Amlogic USB Burning Tool must be already started.

You are a God sent. I managed to flash it after my PC was able to detect my X96S.
To those that didn't know, the OTG USB port is the micro USB port. Not the USB-A port.
