I've seen an increase in people who have gotten themselves stuck in a bootloop or can't seem to get the combo right to get into download or recovery mode.
Assumptions:
You have the proper drivers installed
Samsung Driver
Your phone is recognized by your PC
Instructions:
Power Phone off
Extract this folder to your computer
Run batch file for Download or Recovery Mode (it waits to see your phone)
Plug phone into computer
Power phone on
Phone should be detected and go into the proper mode
Thx Red_81, again. Glad to see u put this here for the i777. Appreciate u sharing this. It should provide some good help for many users. :thumbup:

So much easier than trying to explain how to install the sdk and then what commands to run. The only problem is you need to have working drivers.

My phone is stuck in boot logo. Computer is detecting phone as "SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface" but adb is not recognizing my phone.
Any ideas?

Never mind. I just got it working.
Had to just enter adb command directly. wait-for-device is not working for my phone for some reason.
If you get stuck there again, unplug and plug in the device again.

Thanks
Thanks i was tinkering with a noria 7" tablet, which hasn't worked right since i got it but for 65 bucks its to be expected, but i used sdk manager to get it to register on my computer as an android adb device and for some reason i tried to turn the wifi on and it crashed and got stuck in a boot loop idk why. like i said hasn't worked right since i bought it. But i did use adb portable like you said to get into recovery mode and it worked great thanks! For other noria users when i figure out how to flash a rom to it i'll start a section here on xda as soon as i figure it out. Thanks again
Any suggestions if ADB doesn't see it?
- Phone was working fine in the morning and at lunch I noticed it was off.
- Try to turn phone back on and it is stuck at the samsung menu like everyone else.
- Soft and hard reset change nothing.
- Neither recovery nor download mode works using every key combo that I've seen suggested.
- Computer detects a device but "USB Device not recognized" and ADB can't see any devices (and I know it is set up correctly as I have the full SDK installed and known to be working).
- Charging still works fine and the battery is now at 100%
- Phone is NOT rooted and has no special apps or any recent changes to change the situation (not even app updates since a few weeks)
I'm not sure what else to do. I will probably let it sit for a few days without a battery, but otherwise I would open it up and see if there is some mechanical/electrical issue like a short or something somewhere. Pretty sure this is a software issue though. Any ideas?

To use ADB you must have USB debugging enabled in settings under Developer Options. If you don't keep this enabled all the time, and it wasn't set when the phone stopped working, then ADB is not an option.
Hopefully, you can get into download mode. For reference, here are the ways I know of, in case you haven't tried something here:
If you can get into download mode, you should flash the stock firmware and then perform a wipe data/factory reset from within stock recovery.
There are several ways to put the phone into download mode. You should try all of them that you can before you give up.
Recovery mode:
With the phone off (and not connected to the computer), and battery installed, hold all three buttons, vol- vol+ pwr continuously until the initial boot screen appears the second time.
Download mode:
1. With the phone off and connected to the computer via USB cable, and battery installed, hold all three buttons, vol- vol+ pwr.
2. With the phone off and battery installed, hold vol- and vol+ (but not pwr) while plugging in the USB cable.
3. With the phone off and battery installed, hold vol- (but not vol+ or pwr) while plugging in the USB cable.
4. Attempt each of the above three options with the battery removed from the phone. The computer will supply the power to the phone.
5. Use Android Debug Bridge (adb) which will only work if USB debugging has been already turned on in Developer Options, since you can't boot into the system to turn it on. With the battery installed and the phone connected to the pc via USB cable, use the command "adb reboot download".
6. Use a USB jig. With the battery installed insert the USB jig into the USB connector of the phone. Some have reported that this method works when no other method would work.

Thanks a ton for the reply. Recovery mode does not work but using your methods I AM able to get it to boot to download mode. If it matters, USB debugging was and should still be enabled.
Now the question is... is there any way to backup the phone from this state or get into a state where I could back it up? I don't really care about my pictures or anything else as those were recently backed up but some app settings would be nice to save (Clash of Clans village without Google+, ugh). I'm going to do more research on the next step myself but if you have any suggestions or information to point me in the right direction I would of course appreciate that as well. Thanks for getting me this far though!

It's pretty difficult to recover information from the data partition when the phone is in a state such as you describe. Maybe the developers and technogeeks can do it. I can't. However, depending on where the game saves it's game data, you may be fine. If the game data is saved to the USB memory (internal sd card) then it will still be there once you flash new firmware. Your pictures should also be fine, since they are on the sdcard.
Guys yesterday i bought a brand new kindle 7" and today i bricked it
i was tryin to install gapps , after few times of fail i decided to try cpasjuste's flashable zip which is at here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577826
i was following steps but at a reckless moment i flashed zip to stock rom port then i realised that im makin mistake but it was too late. i powered off the device then tried to open but it did not. After that - another mistake - i made a factory reset. I need your help and ideas.
I was using safestrap with rooted device, at grey boot screen windows is not seeing device at ADB
Sorry for bad language , thanks for help. Here is my device ;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpNXGcEW21Q
Just ran into that same problem myself :/
Wondering if there is anything we can do to get back into safestrap or if I need to send mine in.
I have same.problem too..
Anyone know solve this problem plz..I known GSLEON3 is one.of solve this problem
Please help us..
Im living in Turkey and we dont have technical support in here only i can do is lookin to device and laugh
Possible Solution
hello
I am also bricked, and I am in the proccess of finding a solution. Have you tried fastboot, but you also need a fastboot cable (factory cable) and fastboot utility for this to work. if you are in luck, maybe the utility will recognise you device and you can insert the following command "fastboot -w -i 0x1949", Good Luck.
Let's hope it works!
My rooted Kindle Fire HDX 7″, maybe hard bricked after factory reset (wipe all) ?
now, it just show “Kindle Fire” and stop here forever ! yesterday, i still turn on and turn off normally !
But today, after I tried to Factory Cable method, it’s quite ! “waiting for device” show so long ! then, I turn off by hold power, and all will be : no signal when i plug in charger ! no turn on by press power button ! no connect to PC, no ADB, in Devices manager on PC, only show “QHSUSB_BULK” ???
I have read a thread on this sites, by long press power button in about 2-3 minutes, and my KF turned on and show “kindle fire” as before !
and whenever i turn off by hold power, my KF will be quite ! and PC only show “QHSUSB_BULK”, to turn on, I must long press power in 2-3 minutes as… again and again !
if my KF stuck on “kindle fire”, when usb cable is plugged, PC will show “Portable devices – MTP USB Device” in Device manager !?
I tried installing Kindle Fire driver, ADB driver, Android SDK… no effect ! In command prompt, I type “adb devices”, it show “list of devices attached” and nothing !
I’m confused and nothing I can do ?
So, Please help me !
Thanks you !

Hi there,
yesterday I tried to root my new Tablet Z (16GB, LTE, Model: SGP321, Firmware: 10.4.B.0.569) and it doesn't start since then.
I used an ubuntu live CD for all these tasks because fastboot doesn't work on my win 8.1 and my debian wheezy didn't have the libc-dev needed in its repositories (didn't want to mess with packets that weren't yet integrated into my OS).
What I did:
unlock the bootloader according to http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/how-to-root-10-4-b-0-569-t2590781
a few annotations to this:
the firmware rar didn't include a "Recover.zip", so I used the boot.img directly inside the firmware rar
although sony and this CM tutorial use the "-i" parameter of fastboot, I didn't use it because it wasn't used by the tutorial
after I did the "fastboot reboot" step, the device wasn't listed anymore when typing "fastboot devices", which, I think, is okay since the device should restart then.
I think it didn't really restart, because the LED on the side glew red.
I tried to turn on the tablet but it didn't do anything (the LED kept glowing red).
I tried holding vol up and power for a few seconds (until the LED blinked first once and then three times) but the tablet wouldn't do anything except for the LED glowing red. at somepoint, the LED would turn off (I think that happened when I hold vol up and power for more than 10 sec).
I was able to let it glow red again by pressing vol up and power again and release the vol up button before the power button.
I also tried to use the PC companion on my windows machine to repair the tablet but the tablet wasn't even recognized (either using the fastboot-procedure by holding vol up while connecting the tablet nor normal plugging in...)
any ideas what I could do next?
Same Problem!
Hey wullxz!
I have the same problem. Red LED most of the time, and I cannot make ANY USB connection to the PC. The tablet won't show up in the device manager. So obviously cant use flashtool, nor PC companion. Ive tried all this volume up and down button stuff, but simply cannot get it to show up on the computer.. Tried a different USB cable as well.. Same issue. The USB port is definitely not broken. Its brand new..
Have you found any solution ? Or anyone else? Mine just got back from Sony Repair.. they wont fix it cuz they detected that Ive tampered with the original software.... meaning Warranty Lost!
Great!
hi,
i also sent mine to sony for a repair. i wrote that i did a firmware update and the tablet wouldn't boot afterwards.
i didn't try the bootloader-unlock again afterwards.
Help Needed!
Tablet Z with unlocked bootloader and rooted 10.1.C.0.370
My issues occured after a downgrade to 4.1.2.
I CAN:
1) Start my tablet, everything normal...
2) Charge my tablet
3) Go into safe mode
4) Go into fastboot mode (solid BLUE LED)
5) Use the memory card and use root apps (maybe this could help restore?)
I CAN NOT:
1) Get my PC to recognize that a USB device is connected. Neither in Mass Storage mode, Media mode, nor fastboot mode.
- Tried with several cables and computers (this is not a driver issue, since it won't show up at all in device manager)
- Flashtool obvious;y says, no device connected
2) Get in to flashmode: device blinks red for about half a second, then green for half a second, and then LED is off. Nothing recognized via USB on PC
3) Get into recovery mode
4) Update over WIFI (fails because unlocled bootloader I suppose)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
i think you should open a new thread for your problem because it seems like it's not really similar to my issue.
you should get more/better replies in an own thread.

let it charge to 100%, check for flashmode drivers installed and then try attaching it to pc only when flashtool asks you to do it.

Hey thanks for your reply... It wont go into flashmode... Theres something fundamentally wrong.. I cant figure out what... I leave it plugged in for 48 hours..but it doesnt really get full.. the most Ill get the orange LED.. like 50%... now its on since about 12 hours.. no LED on at all... strange..
But yea.. no flashmode... Nothing showing up when connecting the USB cable... nothing in device manager..and therefore flashtool sees nothing!
SOLVED
Problem solved! I can't believe it. Two bad(?) USB cables. Bought a new one, charges fine, flashmode fine. Flashed stock ROM.
However the Camera still doesn't work. Maybe the problem of the cable inside which may have come loose!
Hi there peeps!
My Xperia Z2 has gone into a bootloop, with no recovery, no boot logo, not registering ADB / fastboot drivers anymore.. BUT.. the buttons seems to work, so i may reboot it some different ways. The only indication of life it got, is the red light when booting.
Someone want to tag team with me to find the solution?
Donation will be gived to a working solution
Best regards!
There is no solution for this atm. The best way to fix it is to send it to the service center.

I may have a solution. Red light usually means it cannot boot the kernel.
I have a simple fix. Follow this guide and make sure to download the firmware of your exact model and current software version number.
When you get to this step, on the right side don't check anything under 'WIPE', leave them blank. And under 'EXCLUDE', check everything except 'KERNEL'. Leave Kernel blank and the rest under exclude check them.
Proceed and press 'volume down' and connect the usb cable at the same time. Let the flash finish and boot the phone back up. Let me know how it goes.
Thanks! I'm trying your solution now, but i dont think it works... none of the drivers are either so. Give me some hours, i will walkthrough here
I can say, it is NEARLY dead i would think, but there must be a way somehow..
Yeah, this will not work.. It gets stuck on "HOLD THE VOLUME DOWN + PLUG THE CABLE" and both ADB and Fastboot are missing so.. It won't do anything there. Holding the Volume UP + Power reboots (that works for some reason). And the orange reboot button in the charging is working but nothing that will help me i think.

When the device is connected in flash mode (USB + Vol down), go to device manager and see if the device is there (may be called 'Xperia Z2" or "Unknown Device", right click and go to properties and update drivers to this. Update me how it goes. I had the EXACT same issue and it took me some time to resolve, by solving the drivers issue you can flash the kernel again without losing data.
If that doesn't work, install these drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Hi!
When my went to Bootloop the only thing that woked was using sony's Pc recovery tool.
sony's Pc recovery tool
Hope this helps you out
Try Software repair on the new Xperria Companion
http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiaz2/tools/xperia-companion/
Both Sony Companion and Sony Emma are not registering the devices, but after fiddling around with VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN and lots of trying, at some point the device manager finds a unknown device. "hiredantispammer" may got the solution, but i will try all posted solutions right away! Post update soon
1. On "VOLUME DOWN + PLUG" the Device Manager refreshes, and the Z2 got the "red light" -- but Device Manager does not show any connected devices nor drivers needed.
2. The Sony Companion does not find the device either.
But.. i was reading about some Windows 10 driver problems, so i will try switch to Windows 7 x32 to ensure the drivers are working correctly.
Another thought.. Is it some way to put a "update.zip" on a sdcard for force installation of new kernel or anything?
Yeah, the solution is right. Hopefully Win 7 solves your driver issues. I had to reformat my laptop and install Win10 again because of driver issues when I have the exact same issue as you. Hope you get your phone working again!
Sent from my D6503 using XDA-Developers mobile app
And no, there's no other safe way to reflash the kernel. Even with an unlocked bootloader, you need fastboot drivers.
This worked for me.
Grab your original cable and make sure the phone is charged to st least 80%.
Start the pc companion and the repair program.
Hold the down key and connect to the computer.
In around 20 minutes the phone is repaired
Hope this helps.
It is important to use proper cable and not any old thing laying around. Mine would not connect until i got the original one.
Ah, charge your device fully. Reboot Windows 10 in safe mode and disable driver signature. Install device drivers. Use Sony PC companion or flashtool to fully reflash the right firmware for you device. You are still able to turn it off and on, so it should work if you do it right.
Best to first flash just the kernel and see if it boots, if it doesn't since you have the firmware files, flash everything and don't wipe data.
Hello guys,
im starting to lose hope that my phone will ever get to work again. I tried flashing a rom via TWRP, which led into a bootloop. After that I tried flashing another version of TWRP, which let to the fact, that everytime I now press Power + Volume down it also gets into a bootloop and does not show up TWRP. After that I tried connecting it to my PC in Fastboot mode, but since no USB-Debugging is enabled and cant be enabled, it is also not working, even with Universal Adb drivers installed, windows does not recognize any device is connected... so my question is, if there is any hope left or my phone is just dead...
I really hope you can help me.

Thank you for your help. I was trying to do it with this mega unbrick guide, but at step 4 I connected it to my pc and the device manager didn't show up anything. Do I need to install any drivers before doing that or uninstall the adb drivers I previously installed?
Thank you
Finally it worked! The problem was the usb cable I was using!
