Attempted to flash Android 10, I think I just brick my phone permanently. - ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers

After flashing Android 10 Full firmware from [ZS630KL][WW] FOTA update links (new update 3 Nov 2019)
I can't boot into the system, even fastboot mode! now my phone just keeps reboot itself(stuck at "Powered by Android"), I had tried to shut it down(by pressing power + vol down) and nothing happens.:crying:
Any ideas? Is this a fixable situation or a main board changing situation?
Rooted (warranty voided)
Flash it in TWRP (I know I shouldn't, but fota not working at all )

If warranty void, i think there's nothing that can be done. My brother's device is Asus 6z(Indian version), which has got a Motherboard Malfunction(A quick google search based on the symptoms gave this result). However, you can get into fastboot mode by Holding Power button and Volume down together, release both when the Asus logo disappears. Then press and hold Volume UP button.

I tired but nothing happen

do you get any response to fastboot? maybe its already there.
Try pwr then vol-up, vol-up then pwr, pwr-vol-down... and hold pwr for half a minute or so. I was able to get mine back into fastboot by using one of these combinations

[HELP] STUCK entering nvflash recovery mode

i'm not flash any rom/kernel etc.
i'm only play with power and volume button.
and then my xoom stuck at "entering nvflash recovery mode".
my,question,how exit thaht mode?
i can't adb cause my pc not recognise my xoom.
please,help me to figure out.
thankyou
*PS:-my xoom is m600 [wifi-3g/verizon-usa version]
can you reboot the device? if yes does it stuck on reboot without pressing buttons?
if you cant turn of the device with the power button just press power + vol up at the same time for 3 sec
now it should turn off
this may help you
Here is how I was able to get into different booting modes.
1. Power down
2. Power up and wait for the M sign to show up
3. Press volume down, nvFlash will display, press volume down again, RSD mode will display, press volume down again, fastboot mode will display.
4. Press volume up to select fastboot
5. Go ahead and flash the kernel that you like to restore
can you change the booting mode by pressing vol down?

thanks for your quick response..
yes,i can reboot/powerr off by power+vol UP.
but if only press power button to turn off ,nothing happens.
EDIT:-try this method and no success.
I don't know if I got something wrong up there, but since you didn't flash anything and were just playing around with vol up/down, you should not have to flash anything...
What happens if you just reset your xoom by holding vol up + power for 3 seconds and after that just wait? Imo your xoom should just boot back into android and everything should be fine...
he don´t has to flash something
i am not sure if he wasnt able to turn of the device... and reboot it or something else...
the points for flashing r optional - if he wants to change the kernel or something

Try holding Vol up + PWR for 3 seconds and release, you should see the Motorola logo.
Can you tell us what happened before the xoom went off, or if you have loaded a custom ROM some time ago.

Let the battery go all the way down. Then put it on charge and try to boot-up.
Can you get into fastboot mode? If so, you should be able to reboot into your OS.

[Problem] Propably soft bricked my nexus 5

Hi guys,
Today I've decied to upgrade my nexus 5 from 5.0.2 to 5.1 . Wanted to do it quickly ( ofc did a full backu and got it on pc ). But accidently wiped my whole sd card. So i thought "okay i still can do it easly since my pc does have all adb drivers and everythign working properly". So I used thsi feature in TWRP called adb sideload. Tried to sideload this nexus 5 5.1 ROM update.zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/rom-n5-l-developer-preview-t2796003 ) But when it reached 11% it just wouldnt go any further. So I decided to stop it and maybe just adb push my rom file on to my device. So after holding down the power button for 10 secs. it rebooted. But now when I try to press vol down+ power it just reboots back into "google" screen logo same when i hold vol up + power. When I ve tried to hold vol down+ vol up + power it just showed black screen and my windows started to search for QHSUB_BULK drivers. So after he didnt find anything I just rebooted and now I am back on Google logo. Can you help me?
Now i tried once again to enter into recovery mode so I hold down vol down+ vol up + power button and when i turned down i just stoped holding power button and now the phone does not wake up after holding power button.
Okay managed to get it once again back on google logo screen. Now I am just gona wait for you to help me instaed on messing and experimenting around.
Well, people say that you learn on mistakes. I don't. While waiting for the answer here flicked through my old topci ( like 1 year ago ) when I did pretty similar thing to my phone. And the old solution did its work here aswell. So nevermidn my problem. Right now I am in fastboot mode and downloading newest stock images from google site.
Be careful, and update only with google factory images or ota. This is the safest way.

Phone stuck in bootloop, can't boot into fastboot or recovery, Please help

After trying to flash a TBO calendar/calculator inverted app I rebooted from recovery only to now be stuck in a bootloop. The only thing the phone will do is begin to reboot itself if I press all three buttons to "hard restart". (power+vol up+vol dwn). Tried using adb/fastboot to reboot into recovery or bootloader but I don't think that the phone is far enough into the boot process to be recognized by adb/fastboot because typing adb reboot-bootloader just returns "waiting on devices". I have also tried to use power+ vol dwn combo to reboot to bootloader. I have noticed that this only works for stock and other certain ROM's. It's a hit and miss as to why this occurs.
So right now I am stuck in a perpetual bootloop with no way to get to recovery or bootloader. I don't know of any other way of getting into recovery to restore a nanroid. Any one have a good suggestion? Please!
The combination of power + volume up (for like 10 or so seconds) will force a reboot. As SOON as it reboots you just need to hold volume down to get into bootloader.

I'm having the same exact problem, I figured out the volume up + power, turns the phone back on in a hardboot. But, exactly how long do you need to hold the volume down button for once it's rebooting?? I just got a replacement phone on 9/24, my previous phone had no problem with this & had the option of fast boot in the settings. Just rebooting my phone takes FOREVER to turn on (or so it seems in comparison). Any idea how or why this is now? Is it due to an update, can I uninstall the update to go back to a fast start setting?? Thanks!!

When you hold the volume down button are you also holding the power button? You need to use volume up + power to restart. Then, when it restarts, immediately hold volume down without letting up on the power button. Needs to be volume down + power to boot into hboot. As for now long do you hold it, until it boots to hboot.
Thanks for the info...
Thanks for more details I'm pretty sure I did let up on the power button thinking it was keeping it from loading. I'll try this out now!!!

Galaxy S6 G920V Unable to boot into recovery mode

Hi!
I’ve ran into a weird scenario. I have the Galaxy S6 G920V, I received the official 6.0.1 update, upon installing it my phone entered a boot loop.
I can reach the download menu (home + power + volume down), I also can reach the Maintenance Boot Mode menu (Holding the power button + volume down), but I can’t reach the recovery mode (home + power + volume up).
Any idea?
Thanks in advance!
Hey did you ever get this figured out? I have the same problem!!

Just in case you missed something it takes a while to load the recovery menu. So I FIRST press and hold the Volume Up and Home Key and then hold the power button for 20 seconds and then you will see the Samsung logo and it will say its installing some update and then it says failed and it goes to the recovery menu. So it take about two to three minutes.
I have the same problem. I did a erase and reset in the recovery menu, factory reset in the maintenance menu but it did not help. My phone continues to go to the boot loop. It happen a few days after the new Android update. I am scared to load the Verizon stock using ODIN because my phone is still covered under warranty and I dont want to even take a 1% chance of voiding the warranty

Use Odin. It should not void warranty. I have never had a warranty issue with Odin over the last few phones.

connect to computer while doing and it works
You can boot into recovery without having to plug into a computer by holding power + volume up, and then once you get to the "this device is unlocked, press power key to continue" screen, rather than just waiting for that screen to disappear, press the power key and then you should be taken to recovery... at least, that's how I was able to do it

Ah gotcha, that makes sense, I've never been able to get recovery booting via power + volume up, until I randomly tried pressing the power button at the device unlocked screen, and for some reason doing that took me into recovery

What is the unlocked screen? Never saw this
Are you powering off your phone first? If so wait a few seconds after then hold down both power + volume up buttons at the same time and hold for 10 seconds. It still works for me doing it this way.

This works like a charm. I was about to give up my phone because of this predicament, I didn't want to have any issues restoring my phone in the future in case. THANKS A BUNCH!
It's kinda strange but it is bootloader issue. I am on BTK3 firmware (latest Android 10 release) and i'm experiencing such misbehave of key-kombo to enter ot recovery mode since September or October FW update. Has jus tried to downgrade bootloader to initial firmaware (ATGM) by flashing BL in odin and now i can enter recovery by only pressing vol-up + bixby. It work always. Cables, headphones... nothing needed. just keys-combo.
Then i tried to update BL to latest Android 10 (BTK3) and again recovery mode doesn't work. Only if N9860 connected to PC by cable and even with that it doesn't work for me 10 out of 10 times.
Can someone text/call Samsung support to report this issue ?
BTW thanks to @Mentalmuso for helping me!
Same things happen to Android 11.
Tried to flash on my N9860 old BL over Android 11 firmware (was installed before that, all files AP, BL, CP, CSC), flash was ok, but system was unable to load. constantly bootloops. but i was able again to enter recovery without cable and etc. Tried to wipe cache and factory reset from default recovery but no luck - bootloop.
I thought that game over and old BL is not compatible with new android 11.
But then i wanted to try do the same but with custom binaries (@Mentalmuso TWRP and kernel) and ta-da - system loaded from the first try. For me it's surprise. Now i have Android 11 latest FW for TGY (CUA3) with initial BL from the box (ATGM) and everything looks like working fine. No error in OS, no random reboots (at least after 30 minutes of test) and recovery can be simply loaded only by key combo, without any cables, headphones and PC.
I'm happy now =)
Strange thing is that after fladhing old BL system did not show error message that vbmeta changed and some error in vbmeta header. It was showed always on Android 10. But i flashed twrp again (it has vbmeta inside .zip) to be safe lol.
