Hello
My stock A515F/DS received an OTA about 3 days ago. After it restarted to finish the update, it got stuck in the boot logo. It will reboot on itself from time to time, and I was able to reboot it manually by pressing vol down + power, but I can't get into recovery or donwload mode (by pressing vol up as soon as it reboots). The screen flickers for a moment, but it reboots again. We are under quarantine by federal law so I can't get my phone to samsung. Is there any way you guys know to flash it without going into recovery/download mode? I don't mind losing my data, everything is on my drive account, I just want my phone again
Thanks in advance
I think there is no way without entering in download mode or bootloader. Try with this:
When the phone is on, no matter which state, press Vol down + power until it reboots. As soon as the screen goes black, change to Vol. up+power. If this is successful, you can then select Reboot to bootloader to enter in download mode.
If this doesn't work, the next solution is waiting the end of quarantine

Ok so today my triumph stopped responding so i restarted it (took out the battery). then rebooted. upon reboot phone shuts down and now will hang at the motorola logo for about 10 min before boots but will shut back down due to the battery being dead(but had full charge when this started). Dont know what happened. So i try to get into clockworkmod to flash backup. cant get into it. the only thing i can do is get to the recovery.img file(pressing power+volume down). Other than that nothing.
also tried to boot with power pluged in. it stayed on but would not respond to any touches or button press except the lock button.
I have cwm 5.0.2.6 installed and tickerguy's cm7.
never had this problem till today. Any help would be appreciated.
a new development has occurred. now when i try to access recovery, the phone will just vibrate without stopping.
and i believe its stuck in a boot loop but without recovery i dont know anyway to exit the loop.
Are you able to get into download mode (power off then simultaneously press power button & vol- (should show polling))

Yes i am able to get to download mode
Well after some tinkering (replacing the recovery image, assuming something corrupted it) i can now get to recovery, still takes 10 min to load it though. But i am unable to do anything in recovery because i have to press the menu button to confirm selection but the buttons wont respond. Some help would be appreciated.
My power button decides to become unresponsive.
So I tried to unroot my phone and bring it back to a stock image and when I go into download mode, 2 seconds later, it turns off. :crying:
I try another method by using mobile odin to see if that helps. Tried to flash the stock image and it tried to reboot to Recovery mode. Nothing. It stays in a black screen after the samsung galaxy s3 logo. After pulling the battery, it tries to reboot to recovery again and still, a black screen. The only way to stop it from booting to recovery is to set it back to download mode. I hold the power button and it restarts. ( The power button seems to work when I try to go to recovery, download, power on.
I am running Cleanrom 6.0 R2.
I am in deep [email protected]#!. I do not want to go to verizon and notice my phone is rooted and I can't fix it without a huge bill.
Please help if possible
Just took the Lollipop OTA update from stock 4.4.2. Upon completion my phone rebooted and is stuck on the LG boot logo. I tried entering download mode (holding volume up button and plugging phone into computer) but my phone doesn't enter it. Attempting to power off the phone doesn't work either, since the phone just powers off for a second and turns back on to the boot logo. I tried factory reset (power + volume down) and after proceeding with the reset the phone is still stuck on boot logo. What should I do?

You can power off if you hold power button longer. wait till logo appears, and still hold, till it gone away second time, and hold even a little longer.
Turns off but still stuck at logo when turned on

I have the same problem with the friend who posted first. There is no way on how to get to fastboot mode and when turned on it just restarts and back to logo. Hard reset is the only thing it allows me to try but no result. Any possible way to get to fastboot or download mode??? Help somebdyy

After i flashed the Lollipop firmware, it looked like the phone got stuck with LG logo but i gave it good 5 to 6 minutes and all was fine. The phone just needed to breathe a little.
Unusual bootloop - can't access recovery OR fastboot but loops on "optimzing apps"
I had my US version OpO 64GB working with CM12 for quite a while, rooted and bootloader unlocked with TWRP (possibly 2.8.6) installed, then some months ago I tried upgrading to CM12.1 through CM updater. This failed miserably - The phone started bootlooping on "Optimizing apps n of N" - as soon as it finished optimizing apps, the phone would reboot and start optimizing again. Booting to safe-mode (Power + VolUpDown) also fails in the same way (though optimizing fewer apps).
I tried rebooting to recovery mode holding Power + VolDown but it just gives a quick buzz (vibration motor) at the "1+" screen and reboots. The same thing happens when I try to boot to fastboot mode with Power + VolUp. So I'm completely stuck. All the guides show being able to boot either to fastboot or recovery (soft-brick) or else the screen being completely black/unresponsive (hard-brick). My phone is neither of these!
I got frustrated enough that I've let it sit on the shelf for the past 6 months, but now I'd like to fix this. All help appreciated.

Did you try clearing the cache and doing a factory reset ?

That's impossible for me to do since I can't get to launcher or recovery.
No acess to recovery?? Then better take it to service center... Atleast can u boot to fastboot mode or adb accesible then use oneplus one toolkits

Install oneplus tool kit, while optimising apps it gets dectected by pc, just make it reboot mode & do reset.... Dnt worry this can be fixed, if all these seems messy then take it to service center

while things are loading, have u tried to hold vol up + power for 10 seconds or until the screen turns off and then hold vol down + power button until the oneplus logo?

Yes, just tried it. Same thing as described in my original post. When I hold power+volup the screen goes blank. I switch to power+voldown until the 1+ logo. At that point:
1. If I continue to hold the power+voldown key through the 1+ logo, the screen goes blank briefly, the phone vibrates once and reboots. If I continue to hold the power+voldown key, the vibrate&reboot cycle continues indefinitely
2. If I let go of either the power button, the voldown button, or both at or before the 1+ logo, the phone boots normally and goes to "Android is starting... Optimizing app n of 119). When the optimization finishes, the phone instantly reboots.
It's like the phone recovery is gone or inaccessible. Could this have to do with the phone tampering setting? As I said, I had this phone rooted and bootloader unlocked, working fine with CM12 for some time before trying an in-place upgrade to 12.1. That's when things went south.

I was experiencing sudden restart of the device with no reason for last 2 days, today I flashed a ODIN flashable ROM to get rid of software problems, but later on today, It restarted, stuck at Samsung Logo, then I make it prompt download mode (vol down + home + power) and then selected cancel to restart, after this this device literally bricked, Just the blue LED is on, tried booting / booting to recovery / booting to download mode/ every possible combinations of the buttons. Nothing happens . Is there any way to save this or it has died ?
