HELP, No fastboot - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I have an unlocked device, I've used havoc-os until today.
I decided to update the ROM, but first I tried something on the stock rom, so I flashed the june factory image to both slots. Then I booted into the system, see what I wanted and then boot back to fastboot. After that I've booted into TWRP, I wiped cache and data, but I've noticed I didn't copy back my files, so I decided to boot back into the system.
It booted into the bootloader and since that I can't boot the phone, says slot unbootable. My problem is, it doesn't recognized by windows as an usb device and fastboot doesn't work.
What can I do? Is it bricked? How? Why? I didn't do anything special.
Please help.
Edit.: I've tried fastboot on an Ubuntu, not working. Tried my old OnePlus X and it's working, so the problem is not the computer.

I've managed to debrick, thank god.
I found the solution in this topic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/help/black-screen-fastboot-one-catch-t3875953
You plug in the cable and then press the vol down+power button for like half a minute, and after some time the device is recognized by windows.

Is my Xoom bricked?

Hey All,
I know there are a lot threads like this on here, so I made sure I tried everything possible before asking for help.
First off, It is a MZ604 wifi version.
Ok, upon powering up my Xoom, it will get to the Motorola screen/ dual core and stall.
I am able to get into recovery, however the version I am running, 5.8.3.1 apparently does not allow sd card mounting, so I am unable to restore or flash a new rom.
A factory reset/ data wipe does nothing.
I have tried to flash a new rom via ADB, however my computer will not install the Xoom drivers. It will say "installing device drivers" for about 2 minutes or so before failing. I have tried using moto helper and the other Motorola usb drivers
I am unable to boot into android to enable usb debugging
I have tried all of the above on my laptop too and to the same result.
My question is, is this a brick? or can it be solved.
Thanks for your time
Yes it can be fixed, if you can access recovery then it means you can access fastboot. So what you do is once you're in the fastboot protocol, is flash in TWRP recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782235
With that recovery you can mount SD cards, so use a computer to download the ROM you want then flash. Hopefully you get the idea, but I can post in more detail if you want.

Thanks for responding, I appreciate it. The thing is that my xoom cannot connect to my computer, and therefore and cannot use fastboot to send it the image correct?
I could fix all of this if I could just get the drivers to install, but because of my xoom's condition, the drivers cannot install no matter what.
Hmm usually fastboot drivers should automatically install. Does your recovery have an option to boot into fastboot? Once you're in fastboot it should automatically install the drivers, and in the android sdk folder in CMD (assuming you're running windows) put in this command: fastboot devices
It should show up your XOOM if not install this http://www.motorola.com/Support/AU-EN/Support-Homepage/Software-and-Drivers/USB-PC-Charging-Drivers
And try again
Hi all!
I got the same problem...
I can connect it to PC and do fastboot, I've flashed it many times, but it didn't affect my Xoom, i've reflashed the recovery to a lower version (tiamat rc4) but the recovery still shows version 5.8.3.1...
I even tried RSD, but it still the same...
no errors, and no effects...
is my Xoom bricked?
^I heard of this before, sounds like your new recovery image just gets overwritten by the current recovery. Though I thought it was only for stock recovery.
but, how can I overwrite it? it seems like they are read only...
It's all about timing, to access recovery once you see the Moto logo wait 2-3 seconds then vol + then vol + again. This is right after you flashed in your new recovery.
You can also access your fastboot like that as well, instead of pressing vol + again, press vol - then vol +.

that's not the problem... of course I can access the recovery, fastboot and RSD, the problem is that I whatever I do to the xoom just don't work... and it reports no error at all... it's just succeed, but nothing happened... It's like a PC running windows with DeepFreeze installed...
Anyone got the same problem? can anybody help me?:crying:
No you're missing the whole point, after you flashed your new recovery it may get overwritten if you don't reboot into recovery straight way. It never happened to me but I have read that people has that issue.

can only access recovery, no fastboot

Hi, a friends opo can only boot into recovery, but not into fastboot mode. It doesn't boot to an OS anymore, only to recovery of cyanogenmod.
Is it possible to somehow get it to boot without losing all the stuff on the phone or pull the data off the phone somehow? It would be really grate if the data could be saved, so I haven't tried a factory reset.
But I can connect it to a pc and it recognizes it over adb sideload (option in recovery to flash update over sideload). I checked if the volume down button was stuck with a multimeter but this wasn't the case. I don't really know what happened to the phone or on what version of cm12 it was, since it is not mine.
Somehow I can't access fastboot mode with volume up, which is strange since it is not completely dead.
I just wanted to confirm if there is anything we can do before trying a factory reset and losing all the data.

Only recovery

Hello! I recently dropped my OPO and the screen cracked. The touch also stopped working. But except that, everything looked fine, to me at least. I ordered a new display and replaced it some days ago. Everything went alright, except when I reconnected the antenna cable... It was too short, so I tried to pull a little bit, and then the cable popped off. I'm going to find a solution to this, I'll see if it is possible to replace the antenna cable. Anyway, I put everything else together and started the phone. I was surprised to find out that I ended up in the recovery. I rebooted and I ended up in the recovery AGAIN! So I formatted the internal memory, transferred CM13 + stock Gapps to the phone, installed and booted. I ended up in my recovery, again. I began thinking that the recovery might be corrupt or something like that (TWRP). I tried booting to the bootloader, but ended up in the recovery, once again. These are the different methods I used, trying to reach the bootloader:
- Volume up + power button
- Recovery reboot options
- adb reboot bootloader
All of these methods brought me to the recovery. My goal is to reach the bootloader so fastboot works, and then use this tool to reset my phone. Do you guys have any ideas? Thanks in advance!
What recovery ? Twrp or stock ?
If you are in twrp there is option to boot into bootloader ,then you can flash firmware via fastboot or use otg port,
If you in stock , I think otg port can be used .

This is the problem... I am using TWRP, but even if I use the reboot options, which is booting into bootloader, I will only end up in the recovery anyway...
Any other idea?
There is no OS, so not booting. Use any compatible ROM via otg preferably COS 13 TWRP signed ROM ( no gapps needed ).

OPO Bricked & Stuck on TWRP

Hi guys,
I have a OPO bricked in a very weird way... It's booting straight to TWRP (v3.0.2-0) and nothing else. It is impossible to boot into bootloader (Vol. Up + Power), it still goes to TWRP. And when it is plugged on a computer, it's also booting straight to TWRP...
First a little recap :
- The OPO has (had) an unlocked bootloader and was updated from COS13 to Oxygen OS a while ago.
- The screen was smashed, touch screen not working anymore, and I had it replaced
- Then this problem occured (before screen change, it was booting to Android without a problem)
What I tried :
- Tried to reboot into bootloader, from TWRP via the reboot menu, nope.
- Tried to reboot into bootloader, from TWRP with "adb reboot bootloader", nope.
- Hard Reset from TWRP, nothing.
- Flash latest COS from TWRP (cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0-bacon-signed.zip) found here, nothing.
- I wanted to try this last chance unbrick "OnePlus Recovery Tool", but for that the OPO has to be OFF while plugged on a computer, and mine automatically boots on TWRP when plugged , so it's not bricked enough to use it, f***!
Since I can't access the bootlader, I can't do a proper clean/flash
I'm really out of ideas here. I'm starting to think that the problem isn't software but hardware...
Has anyone ever encountered such a brick, or has another idea?
Thanks in advance for your help.
fully shutdown your device and then press the volume up while connecting your phone to pc and see if it can boot into fastboot or not...

Open the back panel of your device and clean it properly with isopropyl alcohol and microfiber cloth.Also clean the power and volume buttons strips.
Reattach it correctly and then try booting into system or fastboot.
Thank you guys for your help.
So, what happened is that the volume buttons connector was dead, and that the volume down signal was "permanent", that is why the device was systematically booting in recovery mode, no matter what I tried.
Replacing it worked just fine

Phone currently stuck in fast boot screen, any help?

Hi guys,
I need a bit of help in regards to my oneplus 7 pro 5g edition (GM1920) I previously attempted to root the phone as always and have accidentally wiped the system via twrp, i am now currently stuck in fastboot mode and it appears that the phone has now wiped the factory recovery as every time i attempt to go into it via the fastboot screen or reflash twrp, it shows the 1+ logo for a split second and reboots to fastboot, usually with previous devices reflashing twrp would have been enough but it seems that there is nothing i can do at the moment, any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you
SOLVED: Turns out it was rather simple, the phone wasn't flashing to the correct partition and wouldn't let me change, but randomly after a few tries it finally let me change to the correct partition and everything now works like a charm again.

So if you are flashing TWRP through fastboot, it does the same and reboots to fastboot? Are you able to flash twrp successfully? If yes try power+volume down to go into twrp. Then change the slot
in fastboot use your vol buttons and scroll to RECOVERY and click power button after you flash TWRP
Hi guys,
Thank you for the suggestions but i manged to finally figure it out after hours of racking my brain, turns out it was a very simple solution, for some reason the phone was trying to flash to the wrong partition and wouldn't let me change partition, then randomly out of nowhere it did, so i was finally able to reinstall the stock rom and twrp and am now fully rooted with no issued at all.
Thanks again.
