I have a Sony Xperia L.
I attempted to unlock the bootloader, and was successful, but the down button broke.
I can't boot into Flashmode without the down button, and I need to flash the rom because it is currently in a bootloop.
How can I flash into flashmode?
Please help me.

You can try adb commands either adb reboot recovery or adb reboot bootloader depending on what mode you want to get.

You don't seem to understand, the device is in a bootloop.

I didn't see this part, you have to start from a device totally off otherwise won't work, for that press the three buttons simultaneously and stay prepared to try PWR + volume up, you can also flash in fastboot mode, you'll see that the LED turns either green or blue, open firstly device manager on Windows and when device is detected you have to update the drivers.

My phone is bootlooping and the power button has been broken for a while. I've tried various things posted in other threads, just wondering if anyone has any solutions or ideas.
I can't seem to get it to connect with usb in the bootloader but it does connect while bootlooping. Can I fix it while connected in the bootloop?
edit: Actually, now that I've researched more, I'm pretty sure the problem is that my bootloader is frozen. That's why neither my functioning volume keys or adb works in the bootloader.

I can't seem to get anything in the Nexus Root Toolkit to work while it's bootlooping or while it's in the bootloader even though it comes up in my device manager as Google Nexus S ADB Interface while in the bootloop.
Is there a way to fix it in the command line, or is that just the same thing as using the root toolkit?

Can you get into recovery?
No I can't get into recovery because my volume buttons won't let me navigate the bootloader options. They aren't broken, they just don't work in the bootloader for some reason. My power button is physically broken though so I don't know how to get to recovery or if I can even use recovery without the power button...
I think fastboot will work without a power button?
This command...
adb reboot bootloader

1) Download latest CWM Touch.
2) Follow steps from here to install CWM.
3) Boot in recovery using the command in the above link.
4) Download a flashable touch recovery from here.
5) Mount USB in the recovery and copy this zip and flash it. This will make your custom recovery permanent. Reboot to recovery again just to verify.
Now, you have a touch recovery accessible through fastboot and can install custom ROMs

Thanks for the step by step! The problem is I still can't get the adb working in the bootloader to install CWM Touch. When I type adb reboot bootloader it says "no device connected." If I type the same command while the phone is bootlooping it says "device unauthorized."

You can't use adb in fastboot. There are fastboot commands for that.
Step 2 has fastboot commands to install custom recovery.
Very similar problem on Nexus 4

You can wait till the battery drain and then connect your phone to PC holding the volume button to enter bootloader and then using Nexus Root Toolkit flash your stock rom.

Hi, No I cant boot into the boot loader using VOLUME DOWN + POWER BUTTON, and I am S-OFF. I was trying to use adb since my volume down button doesnt work, so I can boot into recovery. And Im stuck in a bootloop.

it doesnt work, it says the devise is unauthorized. Andriod 4.4.2 has a safety feature where you have to first confirm whether you want to use adb to use adb, and i cannot do that because im stuck in a bootloop.
so when i type any adb command it says devise unauthorized
im also waiting this solution.
stuck in logo, and can't confirm popup cornfirmation
I was trying to get the latest twrp '2.8.7.2'. I downloaded it and flashed the img to recovery and nothing seemed to happen so I tried flashing it to boot then I tried to reboot the system. Now when I try to turn it on I get stuck on the Google like it is turning but it just gets stuck. I tried Charging it now when I charge it I get stuck on the battery logo. When I try booting it Booting it into recovery(twrp) I get a black screen. I can tell the Screen is on because of the dim glow it gives off but it is not doing anything. Note: I am some what of a noob when it comes to this stuff, My nexus 5 was running Marshmallow, and I was running the Xtra smooth rom (it is very close to stock). Plz help. I have also just found out that the reason im getting the bootloop is I flashed the wrong version of TWRP need a fix PLZ HELP.
Did you try flashing stock recovery or twrp 2.8.7.1?

All you have to do is boot into your bootloader (Power + Volume Up + Volume Down at the same time) and flash the stock recovery.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Chances are you flashed an incorrect version of TWRP meant for another phone hence the boot loop.

Can you please explain to me exactly what to do. thank you. also my bootloader is unlocked. I also can get to fastboot so what is the diffrence between bootloader and fastboot.
Hold down the volume +, volume -, and power button. You'll be taken to a screen with the word START at the top. Now, connect the phone to your Windows computer using the USB cable, open a command prompt and type "fastboot flash recovery nameof twrpfile.img", press the enter key, use the volume button to select recovery, use the power button to enter recovery, press the power button, press volume + button, and you should enter TWRP.
Thank you but I do not own a windows computer
Then look up the respective commands. You flashed twrp over your kernel, you need to flash a proper boot.img (kernel) if you want the phone to boot. Fastboot is ran through bootloader. Flash the proper kernel in bootloader using fastboot.

It might not have been working because I did not enable USB Debuging. :crying:
USB debugging is required for adb commands. With fastboot mode, debugging isn't necessary.

Hi !
I recently unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP on my device.
The problem is that when I try to load bootloader (adb reboot bootloader) my phone reboots in normal mode and I can't use fastboot.
Any idea to solve this problem ?

hi, I hope I'm in the right place to get help with my issue. my Ace is in a reboot loop that i can't seem to get it out of. i have tried force rebooting and lt will not enter into recovery mode so that each time i would hit recovery mode the screen goes blank for a few seconds then the moto logo (M powered by Android) screen comes on with vibration for six seconds then again to blank repeating this loop until i again hold power and volume down buttons. I do have a lot of apps installed but this phone has a whole lot of memory that came with it. I am hoping this forum may have some ideas to help me rectify this issue. thank you.
While connected to a pc, enter the fastboot - w command. This will erase the internal memory and your phone should be able to boot.

thank you for responding. I connected my phone to my laptop but it does not detect it. my phone has, highlighted in red, AP fastboot flash mode (secure). also, tools mode: Disabled, and OEM locked
If you can reboot to recovery, try a factory reset.

thats the problem I"m having is getting into the recovery. I hold the volume down and the power buttons down till I can see the options recovery mode, but when I click on it by pushing on the power button, that's when it goes into the loop mode and never goes into recovery.
Use the Lenovo tool to download and flash the stock rom which includes a recovery.

I did what you adviced and I was instructed to enable debugging or fastboot mode in order to be able to rescue. But if I was able to do either one of those that means I wouldn't need help booting up. follow what I'm saying? because I would have to get into the settings to enable debugging or fastboot mode, somthing I can't do because my phone will not boot up.
To enable fastboot moode, hold the power button and the volume down button at the same time. This should put you in the right place. You should get red text that says you are in fastboot mode. If not, go to https://t.me/motoblankflash and ask for help.
