Bricked Device, Black Screen, No Boot Logo, Nothing happens L-21 - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

Hello,
after i followed this steps below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67816990&postcount=1686
After that i was able to boot "normally" with CM 13 version from 2016-07-19
I did a full wipe because of some force close.
Everything was running nice, i enabled the finger print.
This morning i installed 2016-07-20. (dirty flash)
after wiping dalvik screen turns black.
i already tried:
turn off your phone
put USB-cable in your computer (with drivers and fastboot installed)
press power + vol down and plug in USB-cable in your phone within 1 second
then you should be in fastboot mode (bootloader)
then you can flash twrp instead of stock recovery
then you can flash a rom or restore a backup
now you're not back at stock but don't have a brick
I am not sure if my phone is turned off.
I also tried to hold power for 10 seconds, 15 seconds 1 minute, longer
I got an usb amperemeter, it tells me, that the phone is charing with 0,09-0,24 A, while the screen is black
fastboot devices dont show a device
adb devices dont show a device
any ideas or suggestions? thanks in advance

Plug it into the PC hold volume Down and Power and wait until it boots in fastboot.

i have done this procedure two hours ago, ... one hour ago,... and right now again (
after done it for 5 minutes (every time), again and again... around 50 times?! still nothing happens...
NOW, just in this minute, it vibrate and fastboot start up.
i did a reboot via: fastboot reboot
maybe it was try #51, atm rom is booting up and android is updating,...
will it happen again after next update? or after next reboot? i'm a little bit confused.
at least, thx for inform me, still todo the same thing

[Q] Atrix bootloop problem

Hi there guys, first of all thank you all so much for the support here.
I have a problem with my atrix, i googled a lot before posting, but i still can't find a solution:
I have a atrix 4G, unlocked, was running successfully neutrino 2,8 version.
After 2 months of being (almost) fully functional, the phone crashed(i didn't do anything particular at that time, i think that i was browsing google maps) suddenly and now i have continuous boot loop, i get only the classic red dual core logo, with the "unlocked" notification over it, and then after 10-15 sec it reboots.
I try to open it with holding volume down, to enter recovery, nothing happens. It reboots again. The computer doesn't see it, in this case.
I reboot it with holding volume up, says "starting RSD protocol suppport", and pc sees it and i get the cling-clong sound of usb.
I would do the recovery using rsd, but i read that it is not for unlocked devices, is this so? What can i do in this case? Thanks a lot!!!

You'll probably need to flash a new recovery partition. Check out this thread:

flasing a recovery is done via fastboot so you don't have to enter recovery but fastboot (hold power and volume down till it shows fastboot, then press up) .

hello i had this problem yesterday, it happens in neutrino rom to alot of people!
and btw i could not open recovery either
ill explain what i had to do
i had to use moto-fastboot and install a new recovery, basically your recovery is dead and your rom is unbootable
heres the steps
download the moto drivers and install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1381183&d=1349549067
then download the motofastboot zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1381414&d=1349555102
and create a new folder in C: (computer) called Android and then drag the files from the moto zip into android
Then download a new recovery http://www.mediafire.com/?6ww8wrjrdqq9m97
place the recovery.img into the android folder
now you have all the files needed to reflash your new recovery and fix your phone the whole idea is to reinstall recovery so you can access it and wipe and install the rom fresh again
now you need to do these steps
1) Attach your phone to the PC via USB (use a port closest to the power supply)
2) Reboot phone while holding volume down until you see "fastboot"
3) Press volume up to initiate fastboot
4) On your PC click the Start menu, then in the search box type "cmd"
5) In the command prompt type the following commands (no quotes, hit enter after each command)
6a) "cd c:/android"
6b) "moto-fastboot devices"
your CMD promt should show something like this
C:\Users\Me>cd c:/android
c:\Android>fastboot devices
TA20703SX9 fastboot
c:\Android>
now if that has all worked type the following phrases
moto-fastboot erase recovery
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.4-maguro.img
moto-fastboot reboot
now the phone should reboot, unplug the usb and pull battery out.
put battery back in and then try to boot into recovery like you normally would (power button + Vol Down)
and your new recovery should load!
from here you can wipe your whole system which i would reccomended as your current one is corrupt and install a new rom or reflash your current on onto a clean wipe. if you dont understand how to clean wipe do all of these steps, factory reset, clear cache, clean dalvik cache then go to mounts > storage and format data + format cache + format system
now install new rom and let it boot up, should bootloop a couple of times then start! if not unplug battery from phone and ask for further assitance

Thank you for your help, the problem is exactly here, i put on the usb, i power up the phone by pressing the volume down, and the phone does nothing,doesn't show the fastboot,and after 10-15 secs starts rebooting again. This is my problem!
The only response from my phone is when powering up, and pressing the volume up, it says "starting rsd protocol support"
Is there any case that my volume down is dead?

unplug usb
remove battery, then put battery back in make sure phone off (no green light)
then hold power button and vol down at the same time for a few seconds
Fastboot should appear in white writing then press up volume and it should say starting rsd protocal or something similiar
then plug in usb and follow the steps i have written above
i do exactly what you said, but doesn't show fastboot. from switched off, if i press volume up with power button, i see the message "starting rsd protocol support" .but no fastboot option!
Is there any chance that you can access adb after bootscreen? than you can use "adb reboot recovery" to get there...

When i start up phone, the only combination possible to stop restarting is by pressing power+vol up to show that with RSD. There is no other option then selectable. Power + volume down does not work, doesn't show anything, has anyone of you experienced this thing?
If the only working option you have is RSD, then I'm afraid you're stuck with having to flash a stock SBF. I hope you know/remember exactly what stock version you had installed before any modding or flashing, because the SBF has to match exactly. Choose wisely and read up as much as you can before flashing.
I have over a year now with custom roms, and i can't remember which version i had. Why do i have to find exactly the version that i had? The latest stock version won't work with rsd? It will make it hard brick?If i manage at least to recover the fastboot menus etc it would be great!
I will later also try to open it, to see if the side button "volume down" is not working,.
I have another question, in your moto atrix, if you press on startup power+vol up, are you also seeing the "starting RSD" etc option??

Yes, flashing a wrong SBF will most likely hardbrick your device.

Can't try right now, but as far as I know, yes, that is a standard way to enter RSD mode.
thank you, so, i know that at least my phone responds to some instructions.
Is there anyone else to suggest me to do anything else?
IN rsd mode, (other than flashing a stock random rom with chance of hardbricking,)the phone can be read by usb, can i do anything there?

Sadly no. The RSD mode can only ever be used to flash SBFs. That's it. Nothing less, nothing more.
I will now try to open it to see if vol down is not working well. If it does work, i will select a stock rom 1 year old and i will flash it using rsd, and whatever happens....:good:
I disassembled the phone, the button seems to operate fine(?).
I flashed with RSDlite the 2.3.6 version, the RSD stuck to waiting for phone to restart.
The phone restarted, the "unlocked" logo disappeared.
Starts normally, passes the red motorola logo, shows the graphic of AT&T, and after ~10sec starts restarting again. Bootloop again!
At boot, pressing power+vol up, i can still get the RSD support. Pressing power+vol down does nothing, I don't see any error messages, like the ones in hard brick.
What can i do now, any ideas please!!!
try this

Yesterday I had a hard time getting my phone into fastboot mode, after loading a bad SV kernel,it only wanted to start the RSD protocol mode. I eventually got into fastboot by plugging into the wall charger, then removing and installing the battery while holding the vol button. When fastboot appears, unplug the charger to allow sd access.
Thanks for the suggestion, i tried even this,it didn't work. The funny thing is that it shows the battery charging level full screen if i connect the charger, as it starts.
I noticed also that when i press vol down now, it takes longer to start and continue to the moving red logo, it stays for a while stable red,feels like it is thinking whether to start or not lol (if i don't press vol down, on the power up the red moto logo immediately starts the classic "waving" effects)
Anyone having any kind of suggestion?I guess you don't, right?

Hard Brick ?

Ok, I just want to know if my phone is hard bricked, or if I still have a chance...
I tried to install an update (121 to 170 for plk-l01) on my rooted phone, with local update. It didn't worked, twrp show errors everywhere, and after turning off know i can't access the recovery. when I press on vol+/- and power for 10-15 second, it vibrate but nothing else.
Is there anything I can do ? my phone isn't recognized by my computer, by the way...
Why you did that? You can't update rooted phone

Try to boot into fastboot (phone turned off - connect with data usb to the computer - vol down + power on). Extract rom which is currently installed or higher (for your respective model) and flash from it:
fastboot.exe flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot.exe flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot.exe flash cust CUST.img
fastboot.exe flash system SYSTEM.img
Reboot.

Thanks, but unfortunately, it just 'boot' as others reboots. it vibrates, doesn't get recognize and doesn't turn on...
If anyone have any clue on how to force recognizing the phone storage, it might really help ^^
That is what my phone is doing, I tried to upgrade to marshmallow though with no root!! I put the zip in the dload folder and went through the upgrade process everything went through the phone rebooted and now its dead. Blank screen and if you hold power after a few seconds it will vibrate but that is it. I presume its hard bricked? no matter what combo of buttons I press I cannot get it in to fastboot.

ok I'm looking for a solution for hours now... so I just lokked how works our phone and I think the trouble must be in the preloader, because I can't even make my phone being recognized by any computer and I can't access to recovery.
I found this :
http://www.droidgyan.com/soft-brick-vs-hard-bricked-vs-broken/
Which could help. I'll leave that topic on for some days (if it could help someone) and I'll open a new one to know if there is any easier solution ! thanks and good luck.
I sorted mine, it was only 2 days old so I got it replaced by the shop I bought it on. I would say it was something like a pre loader from what I saw. I have never bricked an Android phone and I must have had 15-20 of them since my first HTC Magic and before that Windows Mobile which again I messed with tons reloading with all sorts of ROM's!! These phones are wayyyy too sensitive to being messed with, I always remember though that you never mess with the boot loaders, but it looks like these updates do to get it bricked to that point.

I just hard bricked my Honor 7 the same way. Is there really no solution? Other China-Phones are pretty much unbrickable, since you can always fix it via the preloader. No such luck here? Back to the shop and hope they actually replace it? While I admit it was stupid to just hastily start the OTA while having twrp and not stock recovery (no root, though), this is a terrible design flaw on Huaweis side.
Anyway... any hope or no chance?
i just hard bricked my honor 7 PLK-L01
it the same thing it is doing . not recognized by the computer
tried all the combination of buttons. but no hope
and it only vibrates when tried to turn on

LG MS323 Stuck @ Logo

Hi experts,
I really don't know what happened to this phone. I left it on the charger (usb->pc) for couple hours and when I got back, only the LG Logo. I removed the battery and reboot the unit, it gets stuck at the LG Logo. So I google around for a fix. Found some.... but to no avail! Following is what I don't understand!
1. When I do factory reset, (volume down + power key), click YES and it says "Factory Reset Processing". This process takes forever. I went outside for like 30 minutes and when I got back, still at the same screen.
2. When I try to flash via bootloader (volume up + insert usb cable) it goes into fastboot mode then tells me to press the volume up button until I see the download mode. Well, this proces, like the above, I press the volume up key for like 20 to 30 minutes, nothing happens.
3. When I remove/insert battery, power up the unit, it gets stuck at the LG logo but the pc cannot recognize it.
What seems to be the problem here?
Thank you very much!
OMG, We have same problem ,I don't know what happen with that, Even I don't use couple months ,I try to do MP3 Player ,Can not be boot on.. I just want to try re-flash now if I can do this with my PC.

Since you can get into fastboot mode, you don't have to press volume up, from here you can just fastboot flash your phone using stock ROM or use my tool (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6vSHGXxJIWmVjRVMlRSQW9HWWs) that I wrote to flash it (easier for beginners).

Google Pixel 2XL some important troubles/errors

Hello Guys. So, i bought Google Pixel 2XL (new) from AliExpress. Works fine. Then i joined to android 10 beta programm. Evening installation android beta 10 OS was stuck at ~60%. Morning still at 60%. I reboot him, cuz i had no choise. Phone started, version was Android 10 Q. But then my phone after 30 secs going in sleeping mode - it stuck and no responding. Need to reboot. But I can not turn on my phone immediately. I hold power button 5-10sec - nothing happen. Then i hold power button 20 sec, phone make small vibration but still nothing happen. So i holding power button 5-7-10 minutes, and after this he can turn on and work as usual phone (but still stuck in sleeping mode).
So what i have here:
Computer doest see this phone! I think it is the most important. I tried 2 PC's and different cables (i also have type-C connector in my laptop). Just start charging, but nothing in device manager. (yes i have drivers)
I have no Root on this phone
I can't enter in recovery mode. I can enter in first screen after pressing buttons VolDown + Power (holding 5-10 minutes). But then i choose Recovery mode - phone trying to restart but stucks and can not turn on.
After all this i returned from android beta 10Q to stable android 9 by updating in settings, but phone still have these problems. Do you have some ideas, what i can do?

Help with S6 Edge please!? I'm going insane!

Hi guys, I've owned an S6 Edge in the past.
Due to my fondness, I purchased another one last week (Arrived today).
Damn, it's in mint condition! I purchased it knowing it wouldn't boot.
The guy had a picture of download mode stating it needed firmware/rom.
Not a problem I thought! I went through all this with my past S6 Edge.
I got the phone, got it out the box, thought hmmm... Won't boot, must be dead!
Plugged it in (First issue) I didn't get a charge screen, but a S6 Edge Powered by Android (bootloader screen)
Anyhow, I've flashed the latest stock firmware, continues to bootloader screen and sticks.
I've flashed TWRP and I can enter TWRP, flashed multiple custom roms, still stuck at the bootloader screen.
Flashed the stock firmware with re-partition and a PIT file, still stuck at the bootloader screen.
Any help? Is this phone done for or am I missing something?
This would have been my daily driver after smashing my S9, needed a non contract phone. I LOVED my old S6.
It is a G925F, not sure what firmware it had previously, haven't had a single successful boot.
Try to install Android 5 firmware on it.. And when it's booting up (SAMSUNG LOGO) Click Power+Volume down button.. When it's powered off.. Quickly, Click Power+Home button+Volume up and you will be booted to Recovery Mode.. Click wipe data, cache then reboot system.. Wait till the phone boots completely.. Then, you can flash twrp and custom roms... Tell me if it worked..

Quickly, Click Power+Home button+Volume up and you will be booted to Recovery Mode.. Click wipe data, cache then reboot system.. Wait till the phone boots completely.. Then, you can flash twrp and custom roms... Tell me if it worked..

Hi mate, I've tried installing (and successfully) Android 7.0. It stays on the 'powered by android' galaxy screen.
I can get into TWRP and install custom roms successfully, just stays on the said screen again.
Also, might be worth noting, when I plugged the phone in to charge it just goes to the same screen mentioned.
If I hold Power and Vol Down while plugged in it will go to the battery and the thunderbolt, just no animation.
Also LEDs not working.
Just do it...Dont plug your phone when ur doing power+volume down thingy..Android 5 firmwares are a little bit different than marshmallow and nougats..So just flash it and you will see the profit

Also, won't I get a bootloader error while trying to flash because it is a lower version?
If you try the Odin3 flash tool?

How long are you leaving it on the bootloader screen after flashing stock? First boot can take 15-30 minutes sometimes
hey just do the following...
Hi...if your problem is still active - not solved! Here a little Note for you that maybe help you to get s6 edge running again.
First you need to start Odin 3.12.03 with Admin rights!!!
Then you could use the Firmware from my Google Drive if you want. Its the German Variant with CSC-DBT
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pDybynK6_Huu-vjM_azIjgz30IIhlEAP/view?usp=sharing
If you want to use SamFirm by your own. Keep attention that you check the "Binary Nature" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If not...its just 1,9 Gb and dont work
If yes...its over 2,3 Gb and work fine
shutdown phone with Vol- and Power (keep holding both)
then start into downl mode with Vol- and Home and Power (keep holding all together)
connect phone to usb
after flashing rom the first start could take up to 10-15 mins...not more on stock firmware
if the first start is done and your in the screen where to type your sim pin
power off the phone and unplug usb
start into download mode again
reset Odin and select the twrp.zip into ap
plug usb again
flash twrp with odin
phone restart automatically...just wait the minute
then shutdown and start into twrp recovery with Vol+ Home and Power (keep holding all together)
so good luck man
