Hey, I've just installed the ViperDNA rom and tought I would try it out. I've installed everything correctly with TWRP and Aroma showed me everything was installed fine.
Now I am booting my phone and I've noticed it was stuck for over 7 minutes in splash screen, so I tought okay I will do a hard-reset. I've pressed over the home button for a minute and the it didn't restart, the panel was flashing but it didn't restart. I've tried to click on other buttons and all but it didn't work, I've connected it to the PC and tried to find it with ADB and it showed the device is not connected. The battery is full and it's in the splash screen still, how could I possibly restart the phone?
- ADB dosen't find the phone
- Tried to check if suddenly the phone is stuck in fastboot (sometimes happend with my old phones, unknown how)
- Tried to press the home button for over 1 minute to restart when it should be 10 seconds.
Anyone knows how to do something? I am hoping my battery will run out somehow like this, but untill then. I need some suggestions.
Hard reset is holding power button for 10secs not home.

So, I wanted to update the Rom, so tried to go into recovery mode. Pushed the volume down button instead of up, so got into download mode. Pushed the volume down button to cancel. Then pushed the right combination, but nothing past the Galaxy S2 logo with the warning triangle happened.
Tried to reboot a couple of times, but now the phone is completely dead.
Everytime I turn it on the Galaxy S2 logo appear, and when it dissappear the phone seems to be dead. However if I look closely, the screen is not turned off, it it just black (but turned on), and every 5 seconds or so I can see it "blinking", but it blinks "black" if you could say that, you won't notice it if you don't look careful, or you are in a dark room.
If you triple click the home button you normally "invert" the colours on the screen, and this also works in this case. Instead of it flashing with an almost unnoticable black, it is now white and every 5 seconds the screen turns off very briefly, but then the screen is white again.
To get it to stop doing this I need to remove battery. If I push and hold the power button the phone just restarts with the galaxy s2 logo, and then does the same again.
When I connect the phone to a charger or to a PC (while it's powered down), the battery logo appears for a couple of seconds, and then it enters this "blinking" screen thing again.
When connected to a PC it does not appear as a drive - however it seems like windows detects it, it installs the GT-9100 drivers. Samsung Kies can't connect, it just keeps trying to connect forever, without coming with an error, but it's not connecting.
Hard reset is not working in any of the described ways, whatever I do, if its to get it into recovery mode, download mode, or just trying to turn the damn phone on, it just do the blinking thing.
Is this some sort of a boot loop from hell!!?
sounds strange, can you still get it in download mode without issues?
If you can i would advice to flash back to stock(!!)
or you could try to flash a cf-root to see if thats gets you into recovery format system, data, cache, dalvik and flash the new rom.
but im not sure if that would work, a clean install from stock would be better i believe,
as to why it went this way i have no idea!
Good luck!
If you can get in download mode, flash a stock rom with odin and that should do the trick
yes!
Well, that was odd, thought I had tried that several times, but yes now at least I can get it into download.
Now I used ODIN to flash a file (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.tar) that I had laying on my PC from back when I was originally rooting my phone. ODIN gave me a "Pass" reply and I got the phone into a bootloader. I quickly wiped everything I could, and at the moment I'm seeing if I can boot the phone normally.
Thanks!!
Well my rom is f***** it won't boot, but atleast I can get it into recovery mode.
Have just installed cyanogen 9 stable + gapps, it is now booting up!
Luckily I backed my phone up with Titanium backup just a couple of hours ago!!!
it's working!
Well that saved my ass. I was so close to throwing my phone out of the window and going online to order a S3...
Now I'm setting up my phone - nice, wanted to try Cyanogen 9 anyway.
Cool.. Always be patient.... Rather than thinking of purchasin a new phone when these kind of situations occur. Keep a usb jig with you

Well I was undervolting and underclocking my i9100 for a few months and it would suffer from freezes and stuff like that nothing much as I would be able to perform a hard reset and reboot with my phone completely working everytime that happens. However today, I just locked my phone after taking a picture and I could not unlock it after that. I pressed the power button and home button but the screen would not turn on. So i just took out the battery and tried booting the phone. It was stuck in a bootloop where the boot animation would just keep on playing. So i force shutdown it and booted it into recovery. I had CWM 6.0.4.6 installed and when i booted into recovery, it gave me the message it cannot mount something and cannot load last kmsg and blah. I took no notice and tried to format cache. During this point, the recovery hanged and i force shutdown my phone again. After which, I could never turn on my phone again. No splash screen no nothing. I think it is bricked. And yea btw my usb port is not working anymore and it can only be used for charging. And i was running cm11 infected. Can you all please help me thanks!
so no recovery nor download mode?
Sadly, no

Yep i cannot even boot into anything no splash screen no nothing pressed the power button for like so long i even removed the battery for 2 hours and popped it back in not working
Try this - take out battery,then press and hold volume down+home+power and put battery back without releasing buttons.This may get you into a download mode where you can flash stock jb via odin.
How the problem occurred
So a year or two ago I bought a Jiayu G4A/T/Whatever they're calling it and safely got it here. I've used the stock ROM for a bit but I wanted to get rid of the bloatware that was still on it, so I eventually ended up with a properly rooted phone with a ROM from Jiayu.es (Everything worked, have ClockworkMod as recovery, accessible via Mobileuncle Tools), which was essentially a stock Kitkat rom made to work for the phone. Now I got sick of the ROM and recently saw the new EMUI version on Huawei's P8 Lite, so I figured I'd look around for a tailored ROM running that, and ended up at "jiayu-emui-3-0-stable" from Needrom.
What I did
1. I downloaded a ROM from Needrom with identifier "jiayu-emui-3-0-stable" (I can't post external links)
2. Backed up my important files following a guide from androidcentral titled "[Guide] How to Backup and Restore Apps and Data when installing new ROMs" that I can't link,and did a full backup using CWM
3. Placed the ZIP on my internal SD card, went into recovery, wiped data/cache (not dalvik, since it wasn't described in the instructions, I think this might be a probable cause) and installed the new ROM from ZIP
4. Rebooted the phone and now it's stuck in the boot loop I mentioned.
What the problem is
Bootloops aren't that much of a problem usually, except this one is... I can't get into recovery mode. From there on it'd be cake, since I made the right preparations, but I can't get into it. While connected to my PC it keeps powering on, showing a splash screen from Jiayu.es briefly (which shouldn't be present anymore) and powering off after 10 seconds, only to come back to the splash screen.
What I've tried
I've unplugged it, removed the battery, waited to get a full power cycle and tried to hold my buttons in these combinations: [power button + volume up], [power button + volume down] - but neither work. It just keeps going with the boot loop. I can succesfully power it down, and when I plug it in from there it shows the low battery image. At the moment of seeing that I thought I could connect to it using ADB / Fastboot, but no luck there either. It keeps saying no devices found, and with fastboot it keeps on <waiting for device>.
My questions
What exactly can I do if there is no way for me to get into recovery mode? Are there any alternatives? How can I get my device to be recognized by ADB? Is that even possible? Why is this bootloop any different from others?
Update from the massive Q&A thread:
ZipAddict said:
Is it booting up on its own too after being off? This happened to wifes phone and it turned out the power button was stuck. I took a pencil and hit the power button with the eraser a few times and it worked then. Her case mustve dislogded it. I will keep my fingers crossed for u. If not send me a private message and i will look for an answer tomorrow and get back with u

Thank you for the reply!
Yes, it does. I took the battery out and let it lay disassembled for a night, after which I cleaned it a little and re-inserted the battery. With the case back on, nothing happened, so the power button wasn't stuck for sure. When I powered it back on with the power button (no USB attached) it showed the emblem for ~8 seconds and powered off. It then buzzes to show it's powered on again and up comes the splash screen again. Could it be that the ROM was just a rebooting falsehood? Why would it disallow me getting into recovery mode? I really hope there is something that can still force the device into recovery mode / interact with it somehow while in this state.
Oh, I also tried to see if the volume down button was broken but all the contacts seem intact, plus, they worked an hour before I started switching roms.
I have Lenovo TAB S8-50F that is currently stuck in a boot loop. It shows the white Lenovo and "android" text on black background boot screen for 30 to 60 seconds, then shuts off, vibrates and the screen flickers some white color and then goes back into the Lenovo and "android" text boot screen and repeats.
After some investigation on these forums and Google, I have tried the following:
Hold down Power + Volume Up + Volume Down until I see "fastboot starting...". I wait 5 - 10 minutes and it still says "fastboot starting...", nothing else. I try to connect to my Windows 8 laptop but it doesn't recognize the device.
Hold down Power + Volume Down until I see the boot screen, then let go of Power (keeping Volume Down pressed). Apparently this should boot into a Recovery menu, but nothing happens and it continues to just turn off after about a minute and boot loop
Hold down Power + Volume Up until I see the boot screen, then let go of Power (keeping Volume Up pressed). Same result as above, it still goes into boot loop.
During any of the 3 scenarios above, I can turn off the tablet by holding Power + Volume Up. Also I never saw any other messages like "EFI failed" or "No mounted drive" that other users had problems with.
Is there anyone out there that can help me restore this tablet back to functional state? I'm not sure what happened that caused this to happen.

Okay so first of all i will let you know why a phone gets bricked-
>corrupted rom
>some system files got deleted
>rooting
>modding
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
my case
i always keep two phones with me like one for my experiments and one as a backup. In this case i'll be talking about my lyf wind 3 that got bricked.
>actually i was trying to install twrp onto that phone but first i had to root it, and due to the upgraded android security, i wasn't able to do via kingoroot so i tried i-root and it did the job but instead of kingo-superuser i got some ****ty superuser so i tried granting permission to the actual superuser and while doing so i accidentally double rooted my phone (first with i-root and then with kingoroot), which was kinda stupid, so it just deleted some system files and my phone wouldn't boot after that. It just got stuck on the boot logo.

My problem is with black screen Xiaomi Mi Play. No fastboot, no recovery. If it is connected to charger only led flashes two times every minute. Also, when holding Power button + Volume Down/Up phone vibrate after every 10-15 seconds. I download official fastboot ROM and tried to connect the phone with XiaoMiFlash but phone is not showing. Only I can hear(on PC) a USB connection (and disconnection 1 second after) every 10-15 seconds while I'm holding Power button + Volume Down.
I tried to deattach battery to try to reset it, but nothing happens.
Unfortunately this phone is 8 months old but still doesn't have much support (recovery twrp, custom roms, root guides...etc.),
PLEASE HELP ME quickly because my battery was at 60% when it went to black screen yesterday, so I asume I don't have to much time left to do something.
History: Bootloader is unlocked. I tried to flash unofficial twrp for Mi Play and completely lost access to any recovery. I rooted phone with Magisk(trough fastboot) and it worked fine (Root Checker also). Then I started Factory Reset in phone (because I hoped it will get me at least official stock recovery), but instantly phone goes black.
Thanks very much
Anyone??? Please help me.
Does "test point" can help? Does anyone knows where they are?
Cool. Why did you rooted your phone? ????
