Nexus 5x, not rooted.
Last night I glanced over and it was powering itself down. I tried to get it back on by holding the power button a bunch. Eventually I decided to just go to sleep and left it charging in case the battery was dead. This morning I got it to power up by holding the power button for 30 seconds. It booted, got to the unlock screen then rebooted.
I can fastboot (down and power, 10s) and get into the recovery menu. I wiped the cache. I did factory reboot a few times. After the first time I got into the device setup but rebooted after connecting to wifi and "checking connection". Now after another factory reset is gets to the colorful circles bit then stops (turning off).
Went for the re-flash stock image route. Start adb as root (Linux). I tried flashing but it says the device is locked. Tried to unlock using `fastboot oem|fastboot unlock` and both fail with "FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)". Given that I can't get the phone to boot, I can't access dev options.
Am I screwed? Is there any way to fix the phone?
Thanks,

So, I soft bricked my Rogers Motorola Razr when RSD Lite failed to flash a rom. I got into the "Flash Failure" screen. The phone wouldn't boot up as normal and after turning it off, it would turn right back onto that Flash Failure screen again. I was able to get out of this by pressing both volume keys and the power button simultaneously, where a menu would come up with a reboot option. I had to repeat the process again because it went back to the Fastboot screen.
Anyways, whenever I turn off the phone and turn it on again, I have to do the whole process again to boot normally. Is there any way to get back to the normal boot process again?
Also, could this be a method for soft bricked users to get out of the Fastboot screen? Some how I doubt it since it seems too simple. I probs just got lucky...
Thanks
Good Day,
I have an Archos70IT that i had not used in a while, It was working OK, I went ahead and reset everything to factory and it booted OK, I installed applings and Gapps and still worked OK then suddenly it froze, I used the power button to reset and after that I get a boot loop with the Archos Entertainment your way splashscreen and then after a couple of seconds blank screen and almost immediately the same splashscreen.
This is what I have tried/found out so far:
- Tried to boot the recovery console by resetting (Hold Power for 10 sec), waited a minute, tried to boot with Power and Volume Down (-) pressed and I only get a static splashscreen and it stays like that until I reset again.
- Let the battery die by leaving the splashscreen bootloop all night, connected to power and after a couple of days tried again with the same result.
- Have tried resetting and connecting to USB nothing detected by the computer, at this step have tried resetting, holding power + volume up and down and no luck, same result.
So I have no idea on what else to do, I think I screwed up by not updating the firmware before installing apps after the whole factory reset.
My LG G5 went into Fastboot mode for no reason, it was fine one minute and the next time I pulled it out of my pocket it had entered the Fastboot screen, I have tried the following to no avail:
- Removed battery waited a minute and reinserted....opened in boot screen menu,
- Held volume button and power button and got into factory reset function and pressed yes to reset twice....it then returned back to boot screen.
- Plugged into PC, and typed Fastboot devices in CMD, phone is recognised here,
- USB debug will probably not be activated on my phone either.
- Is this a Battery problem?
- Is there a way to reboot without wiping all data?
Thanks in anticipation of your help.
I got ADB going..
Tried the ole adb reboot bootloader & adb reboot recovery.. no dice they both just reboot the phone.
I've got a power button on the back & volume up & down.
I tried volume up & down from powered off.. even letting go & holding them back down after a second like I saw 1 suggestion for.. nope
I tried releasing & re-holding just the power button which took me to a factory reset of the phone which is just volume up & down & power to confirm yes or no 2 twice..
Anybody have any idea how to actually get to recovery ?
The weird thing is this phone has a "Allow OEM Unlock" in the dev settings.
I have the same phone and the same problem. I searched a little on the matter and read that the recovery hasn't been released yet, whatever that means. I had to completely factory reset mine to get a virus out(hopefully) Good luck, please share if you find a solution
Hard reset says
Hard reset. Com showed me that you have to hold the power button and the volume down button until you see the LG logo and then let go of the power button and immediately press it again and continue holding until the LG logo goes off in the recovery menu will come up but it's a piss-poor recovery menu because it only allows you to delete all files on the phone
Doesn't allow you to sideload anything and custom recovery i assume?
I got the LG Rebel 4 LML211BL its from tracphone and I've tried and tried to unlock it but I'm pretty sure it's carrier locked...ive been in ADB shell, tried bootloader, tried pushing files into ADB....tracphone has it locked
I have a passcode locked LML212VL and cant get into download mode.. Ideas?
Reset it, go through setup to wifi page. Turn off mobile and then click to turn off the wifi at the same time you click next to continue setup.
Good day everyone. Recently my Mate SE (BND-L34) was left to charge overnight and wouldn't boot up the next day, it's just stuck on the start up screen. Unfortunately, developer options weren't on so no usb debugging although I can only access fastboot when I hold power + vol down. However, when I hold vol + up, nothing happens so I can't access any recovery menu. The phone is completely stock so no root, no custom recovery or firmware, locked bootloader, etc. I did try both methods mentioned here for locked bootloader: "https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-x/how-to/fw-emui-9-1-0-123-evr-al00-t3935995"
Neither of them worked. With HStool, the program (HStool) closes itself after HiSuite has decompressed the download and is about to start installing recovery. The other method mentioned, when "installing recovery" part of the process starts, the phone exits fastboot and goes to the boot screen... both methods actually end in the same result with HiSuite giving me the error message "Recovery Failed" and the phone being on at the boot screen (exiting fastboot before the procedure has finished).
In case it's of any relevance the current firmware on the phone is BND-L34 8.0.0.362. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
