My Nexus 5x was bought by May 15 2018, i was excited for this phone, but i never knew about all the issues it is inclined to have.
EP 1:
It started with this simple notification that started to appear randomly without any solid cause.
"USB supplying power to attached device"
I tried a couple of fixes, like cleaning the usb port, Factory and Cache wipe, and nothing worked, it was just becoming a real annoyance.
EP 2:
The next day, after i did the factory reset and realized there was nothing different about the issue, i put it to charge, moments later i tried to turn it on but i realized it wouldn't go past the google screen, google screen was just rebooting constantly, it was at this moment i got acquainted with our fellow bootloop.
I started investigating, talked to a couple of people and they recommended flashing.
At that moment i could access bootloader, and recovery...
Ok, i turn it off.
After a while, when im ready to flash, cant access recovery.
Bootloader is accesible, but oem is locked and wont allow.
Later i finally found what could be the way of solving the issue.
And i could sleep peacefully that night.
EP 3:
Now, on top of all the complications, the fatality:
Next morning.
It wont even turn on into bootloader.
But i do see that it is charging, however; it wont turn on.
Is there some way of booting it connected through the pc ?
I think i wont be letting this problem like this anytime soon, im still up and willing to find a way to solve this.
If it's still early, just return it for a refund the Snapdragon 808 and 810 are infamous for problems 9 times out of 10 for not being soldered to the motherboard properly so I would advise to return for refund or replacement

Well- no more than 8 hours after purchasing my Tilt (on clearance, no refunds.) I have successfully rendered it useless. I've been spending a great deal of time since then attempting to revive the device. I successfully flashed hard-SPL to the unit and was in the process of flashing a new rom. It crashed halfway through. This is when the problem began. Now I have an unresponsive device. Camera + Power + stylus reset does nothing. PTT+stylus reset does nothing
I've gotten the unit to turn on twice (seemingly by pressing just the powerbutton). However these two power ons were about 4 hours apart and I have thus far been unsuccessfully attempting to turn it back on.
When the unit powers on it reads:
KAIS*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD-8
and says Serial
If i plug a USB plug into it at this point the Serial does not change to say USB.
The first time it powered on the new hardware wizard was looking for a few data input devices that I had it skip (i read one thread mentioning a qualcomm device diag mode that had what sounded like similar symptoms). The next time (on a different system, also running XP) nothing was detected at all.
Are we any closer to a JTAG solution?
I feel like I just threw away my new toy.
Alright, after I gave up late last night I took the battery out overnight and tried turning it on this morning. When I replaced the battery the device turned on. I had previously tried taking the battery out for 10 seconds to a few minutes and replacing it with no luck. I've just replicated it now after waiting about 20 minutes (while reading finding and converting 'flash using microSD' instructions.
When I replaced the battery and powered the device up it not only turned on, but located the KAISMG.nbh (which i got from RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE.exe) and I am in the process of flashing it now. However. the meter has only gone about 10% of the way (if that) and is not progressing at all.
So. I have plugged it in and plan to leave it there to see what happens.
-Just an update-
edit: Also
the "update in progress" screen says:
KAISIMG.nb -
RADIO_V2 -
BOOTLOAD -
OS -
Update in progress...
[|||||*************************]
Am i supposed to see something after those categories? like the OS i am flashing etc? could this be why it's frozen?
Bump!
Update!
wow you asked and you solved by yourself. lolz. good job mang. How's your tilt now?
Actually, It hung during the update I referred to above. Then it would not turn on at all. No amount of battery removing /waiting worked.
I think i should have been flashing from MicroSD all along.
miraculously, i managed to find another and convince them to be a bit more lenient with their "no refunds"
sorry for the lack of update i've been playing with the tilt!
So I bought this Huawei Mate 8 and to be honest I really loved it, it's the best phone atm imo. And it's pretty expensive in my currency. I've owned the phone for a couple of months now, 4 months I'd say. And just 12 hours ago, problems started.
It all started when I attempted to use the fingerprint scanner and my phone randomly restarted. Huh, I ignored it. But it happened again when I tried to open settings. It'd crash randomly on random actions. But it almost always crashed when I tried to open settings or use scanner. I removed my SD card and then it worked fine for a couple of hours, then it restarted again.
And sometimes it restarted many times over to the point where I'd think it's boot looping. But it'd eventually start. I reset the phone hoping it'd fix the problem if it's software related. But it always restarted right before I could enter my Google account to start the phone. But it reached it's eventual death. It crashed again but it didn't restart this time. I tried connecting it to its charger, but no response and no heat at all, not even in the charger's adapter. And my laptop didn't detect it at all.
What should I do now? This phone is new and expensive. I'm very careful with my devices and it's in a perfect condition. The only incident with it was when my selfie stick got too tight on the power button for like 10 seconds then I took it out. That was the same day the issue happened, so I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence. Anyways please tell me what I should do right now, and yes, the phone is still in warranty but I doubt they'd change it for me, their customer service is **** where I live.
Update
A couple of hours later, it was completely and utterly dead. I tried to press the power button and it turned on, it froze on the Huawei logo for like 3 minutes then it restarted again. It's acting really random right now, random restarts and then completely dead, then alive again...
Update #2:
I hard reset again and it's working pretty fine for now, I'll update again soon, but I strongly doubt that the problem is gone.
So,, first of all, hello everyone! I'm new, I'm not a device-proficient, and I'm in a problem with my phone.
This might get complicated.
So my problem starts just some days ago. When I am charging my phone with a tablet charger, it now stuck on the COOLPAD screen when plugged in. It bricked itself, but if I restart boot the phone it will turn on and goes normal, so I turn it off again then charge it with an appropriate charger. And it works and charges. Although that usually the tab charger didn't do this to my phone before.
But then.... That's just the start.
When I booted it on after charge fully and then turned off for some hours, it will boot, but no sound coming when booting on COOLPAD screen, which indicates a problem. The booting on the screen of that takes long, very long then when it's On, surprise surprise the wifi can't connect to any nets suddenly, Sim card cant be read (indicated as No Service) , SD card not detected as well(also indicated as No SD card) . Seems like a malfunction. I had experience the same before 5 months ago (and it goes semi-perma so I asked Coolpad center for software reinstall).
So what did I do? I restarted the phone through the Chinese recovery mode. Booted up right, and back to normal. But this happens just when I boot it on morning now. I am scared this might get worse and will completely bootloop or brick my phone in the future (just like the same problem I face some month ago).
So should I never turn my phone off again or is there a fix for this? Tried factory resetting it in the past, the problem just got even worse so I won't do it again the third time my phone is broken again after software reinstall again. Please help, can't really switch phone until able to find a very reasonable priced ones.:crying:
NOTE: Some day before, my Coolshow app got disabled by Play Store because of "danger" reasons. It is a system app that comes with Coolpad. I can't enable it again because the enable app isn't there, just a greyed out Disable button. I don't like to reset the preferences of apps because it'll make me need to set everything up again. Problem already occurring 3 days ago, till now.
I purchased my Google Pixel (first generation, regular (ie: not XL)) about a year and a half. It's been rooted for most of that time and I recently updated to Pie. When I woke up this morning I found that the phone had restarted on it's own. After a few minutes I noticed that it was running slowly and, eventually, to the point of non-responsive. I forced the phone off (held the power button until it turned off) and turned it back on. It seemed to load okay, but a few minutes later the phone was off again (which it did on it's own) and I cannot turn it back on. Holding the power button doesn't do anything and plugging it into be charged doesn't show any indications that the phone is charging. I haven't installed anything in at least a week and until this morning I didn't notice any problems with the phone. Any thoughts as to how to get the phone back on and what the problem might be?

Click to expand...

See if you still can get your phone into download, fastboot or recovery mode. Here you can see the button combos: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YFaq4g-oa2Q
If you can get to recovery mode, click on wipe cache and reboot. If your phone still is stuck afterwards, go to recovery again. There is an option to wipe and reset the phone. Note that your data will be lost!!! Do it at your own risk. But a reset often is the last working choice when your phone behaves strangely.
If you get none of the three mentioned modes to work, I think your Pixel has a hardware fault.
Hope this helps.
check the charging port first....whether it is charging or not......try to connect to PC
i guess the phone is not charging
So the bottom line is this is still somewhat ongoing, though I’ve confirmed the phone is definitely bricked. I brought it into UBreakIFix and after taking it apart (noting that the device seemed physically in great shape) that there wasn’t anything obviously wrong with any of the particular hardware (they mentioned that replacing the motherboard would likely do it, but it would be about as expensive and effective as buying a new phone anyway...).
I ended up writing back to Google and am in back and forth talks with them now. I’m not sure what they can or will do, but my final answer will have to be getting a new phone one way or the other.
Hi. My close friend has this issue. I'm posting this because she can't figure it out by herself. A month ago, her phone downloaded an update and she installed it. Since then, the phone has restarted by itself without any reason, just random restarts and the frequency of restarts was more frequent with each day. Fast forward to this day and the phone is constantly turning up and shows the POCO logo and restarts by itself. This loop is not ending until the battery is completely dead. When trying to access fastboot or recovery mode, she can get there but only for few seconds (until the device restarts again) which is not enough time to make any changes / factory reset. She did not accessed developer tools in system, so the bootloader is still locked. Holding down power button does nothing. ONE SINGLE UPDATE screwed up whole phone. Can't do ****. There's no SD card or SIM card in the slot. Is there any "hack" to stop the phone from restarting itself? Note when the battery is completely empty and she plugs the charger, the whole nightmare starts again. I'm lost. Did you guys have any ideas what to do? Or is the repair centre only solution? (She cracked glass of the display, i'm not sure if that voids warranty. [it's not glass COVER, it's the glass which is part of the display])
Is this device unlocked? If not, then RMA.
If it is, my best guess is to get the device into recovery (or fastboot?) and immediately connect to PC.
If it holds, leave it there as it will charge, although at much slower rate.
When charged, use TWRP to try to reboot to system.
If it doesn't work, then factory reset.
Sadly, i can not get to recovery because in about 2 seconds the device will reboot. There's literally no time to make any changes - factory reset. Also the device is not unlocked. I hope RMA accept the phone even though it has cracked screen . Thanks for response anyway
Then RMA it is. If you're in EU they'll have to take it, even with the cracked screen.
But does the reboot happen even when connected to PC? Two seconds is enough to plug it in if you're fast...
Yeah, we tried every possible idea we can think of. Pressing the toggle button from different angles with different intensity to make sure it isn't stuck inside, covering up the proximity sensor (yeah makes no sense but even that we tried, lol). Tried with connected to PC as with classical charging brick. No change. Back in those days where smartphones doesn't have unibody construction and you were able to take down the back cover and remove battery it was way simple. Nowadays it's not possible to stop the phone from booting itself until battery is completely empty. My friend says the problem started about month ago, when the phone annouced that there is an update available so she downloaded it and installed it. Before that, there was no problem with the phone whatsoever. Maybe it's caused by some kind of virus but IDK which apps she was using. She didn't have rooted phone not unlocked bootloader in developer tools. Also i googled that it may be caused by "Airtel Thanks" app which she didn't have installed aswell. I will keep this thread updated as what happend to the phone cause i'm also interested what went wrong and to help future users who will struggle with this problem a solution. Thank you.
CaptainFedora, did you solve the problem? I have the same issue...
Yeah, actually. Sorry for not posting the answer although it was definitely her fault. It was the power button being pressed down (which made continuous bootloop). But the button was somehow pressed deep into the phone's body. So complete dissasembly was needed.
Btw. my friend lives in other country so we discussed this problem over internet. If i could have the phone physically with me i would definitely know what was the problem.
Hi.
Yesterday I had the same problem, the device kept restarting every 10 seconds, it didn't even come to any screen besides the first one with the POCO logo in yellow.
Things I tried that did NOT work:
restart
hard restart
fastboot (it did enter the fastboot mode, but only showing the picture of the 2 robots and after 10 seconds restarting again to the POCO logo image)
plug it to power
plug it to computer
After 3 hours of continuous restarting and trying anything I could find in the internet and I could imagine of (except extracting the battery because it seemed complicated and difficult to revert), I tried randomly something that miraculously worked...don't ask me why.
pressing the power button shortly and quickly around 30 times (it might have worked after 10 or 20, but I just kept doing it a little longer
Afterwards it just started as if nothing had happened...doesn't make any sense, but I just wanted to tell you in case you are in a similar situation and desperate to not lose all the images and videos as I was yesterday.
