did you flash something before? how did u end up in this situation?

If you're getting the phone and box symbol.. that doesn't generally mean it's bricked.
What did you flash to get into this situation?

Try holding down your volume-down key, then turning on power.
See if you get into HBOOT mode (white background with text on it, and maybe a background picture of an 'android'.)
Let us know, as this sounds fixable!

To get in hboot (spl) you have to keep back button pressed, not volume down
If your spl is working just flash original htc update

what (where) is back button !?

It is on front of handset, bottom right button with an arrow pointing from right to left.
Press and hold it, then tap power (the button above it), and see if anything happens.
FWIW, Vol. down + Power is something different used to flash the phone, so see if you can enter SPL, as that will do also.

[SOLVED] How to go into boot recovery LG Optimus Black P970

A boot loop happen after i tried installing cyanogenmod 7 early realease from this forum. Now the device stuck in boot and will display cyanogenmod 7 blue circle around 3 -4 seconds over and over. Can anyone of you help me because i think i need to do a factory reset, but now it stuck in boot loop and it does not have a key combination to go into recovery mod. Help
Noone answer till now...
There is a key combination. Search it on google. How to boot lg optimus (your model) into recovery. Once in wipe data then wipe cache
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Expansion
From searching other forums and google I found the following:
You can enter update mode by removing the battery, then while holding down the VOL + button plug in your usb cord(i assume while it's connected to your computer).
Then you can search the forums here and find:
[LG P970] Upgrade Kit 3.5
(the title is longer than this i just didn't put it all in here due to laziness)
This should help you in your quest of retrieving your phone from light up paperweight status. I don't really know though. Since I've never used your phone. Good luck.
recovery mode
you need to press the home button,volume -, and power,
to enter to the recovery mode.

The Home key is actually the touch key on the Optimus Black..it's not a button but a touch input
The combination is the same as above :good:

Doesn't work when you power up your device with those keys.
Power on your device before you press the key combination.
Took me a frustrating half an hour to find out...

tried to get into recovery with the instructions, but a straight boot!
BTW I am on stock gingerbread ROM rooted!
power up your phone, then press and hold vol down + home key and then also press and hold the power button until the phone restarts. then it should boot into recovery.
btw i made a small video tutorial

power up your phone, when the buttons start to blink (or the cm logo appears or whatever boot logo you have) press and hold vol down then press power button (home key is not really needed like the video ) . it also works on stock rom if you have a recovery installed.
note that it won't work at the early bootup when the lg logo appears or when android is booted and ready.

It takes me in safe mode, i'm not even sure what it is (I guess is something similar to window's? It has less apps when I am in safe mode!
I'm not sure what to do, I tried to reboot in recovery mode with the ROM manager but it doesn't work (nothing of the ROM manager works actually).
Any ideas on what safe mode is?
Thanks!
UPDATE:
I tried this app to reboot in recovery mode
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot&hl=en
It rebooted the phone, the android robot showed up with some stuff turning in the stomach (like this: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Android_Update_Screen.JPG) and then it turned on normally except that all my data now is gone (which is not a problem since I wanted to wipe it from the recovery mode, the problem is that I still can't get into recovery mode!
P.S.: it wouldn't let me post normal links because I'm a new member, I hope I didn't break any rule posting them like this! (after all it's not spam!)

[Q] I seriously can't get into bootloader anymore..

Hi,
I want to change my custom rom, but for whatever reason I can't get into bootloader...
I can get into usb mode with ease... But not into bootloader.
pressing the + volume and - volume at the same time and pressing/holding the power button just makes my Titan go into a loop...
If I keep hold of both the powerbuttons but only press the powerbutton once, then the Titan just starts up.
What am I doing wrong here?
Come on guys, help me out here.
What you have to do is hold + and - volume button and shortly press power button. Do not keep pushing power button because that is what causes the continuous loop. Keep pressing the volume buttons until the bootloader screen appears and then connect you usb-cable.

Thanks, but I doesn't work for me...
If I press the power shortly, it will just start up...
It's like the volume up doesn't respond, although it does when the phone is on...
I say that because pressing the camera button and volume down does work, and gets me into USB Mode

Have no idea what went wrong with your phone. But I would try to flash HSPL again (with SPL goldcard) and if that does not work - I would try to flash stock (also with goldcard). But if the bootloader is somehow really damaged (somehow physically) - then you lose the ability to flash customs in future.
For now you are able to do it at least via goldcard.

[Q] Recovery Menu

Hi All.
I might be missing the obvious here but how do you get into recovery on these things?
I've read loads of posts and tried various combinations with Vol+/- and Power, Wait for the light then do the same..... Nothing!!
I've put root on it it but left the bootloader looked. The device says I can unlock it if I want. It's the 16GB Wifi model (UK)
Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
Thanks

Maybe you;re mixing the fastboot method and cwm method on your head..
if you're question is how will you get to recovery then my answer is VOL UP.
power on your xtz and when the "SONY" shows up simply spam the vol up and you're good :good:

Thanks for the reply. If I'm reading what you put right, it's:
Hold Vol up

Wait for Sony logo then ? Not sure what you meant by "when the "SONY" shows up simply spam the vol up"

Haha, Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.
I'm laughing because I still haven't got a clue what SPAM VOLUME means so I'm going to go for HOLD VOLUME.

LOL, I even ended up on the Urban Dictionary... I'm thinking..Oh no, it's one of those young people phrases again!!
Thanks again for the help though, I'll get that dual recovery installed I think. I'm not even planning on flashing it. I just want a good backup.
Hello Zach181,
have succeeded in holding the vol up ?
I have the same trouble and can't access the recovery mode.
press power on
wait for the sony logo to appear
hold the vol up button
but nothing happens, it boots in the normal way.
thanks
Let's try to make it clear.
The device does not come from factory with any button combination that can get you into any recovery.
You need to flash a custom recovery first.
The process for "XZDualRecovery" is to wait a second after the sony logo appears and then when the notification light turns green hold Volume Up for CWM, Volume Down for TWRP.
Might be different for other recoveries, but at least try this method.
Let me clear it too...
its NOT HOLD
but SPAM or KEEP PRESSING
:good::good::good:

What works for me is HOLD the correct volume button, but not from the start, but from the time the LED turns green.

I must admit that I have put it in fastboot but only if holding from the power on and not pressing repeatedly. I've been too engrossed with my new toy to try much but I will sort recovery today.
So what we are saying is...
No recovery Installed
Power and hold Vol up = Fastboot
Recovery Installed
Power (Wait for light) Vol up = CWM ---- Vol Down = The other one (Forgot the name)
That still leaves us with fastboot mode with recovery. Would that be as I said at the beginning of this post... Power on and hold Vol Up straight away (Don't wait for the light)

Battery pull button incase of Crash or bootloop

Hi Guys,
anyone know if there is a reset button/battery pull simulation button on Redmi 3?, just wondering what to do if on the worst day i need to do some kind of battery pull when the OS crashes/bootloop.
Power on + Volume up. When screen on release both then press multiple times volume up button. Enter than you will know how to do!
Blue button / line = shutdown

Just Press "Download" to start flash with MiFlash or do something more with English by press the title next to "Download"
For crashes, press power button 10+ seconds and it reboots. (Works in every ARM Android device i've tested.)
EDIT: I lost all my data since the phone was encrypted, but I recovered it flashing in fastboot mode
My Redmi 3 pro is stuck in a bootloader after trying to root it for the first time.
power off doesn't do anything.
power and volume up doesn't do anything
power and volume down shows a Fastboot logo with a cartoon, but I don't know what to do here and if it is useful.
After 1-2 minutes in fastboot logo it starts again in bootloop.
I think soon the battery will drain and the phone switch off
I really don't know what to do

Yeah, thank you.
I eventually managed to force shut down the device holding power and volum up, down the three togheter for long time.
Then I flashed Miu again and rooted.
Now I can't manage to encrypt, so still not satisfied
