SO, tl;dr-- My LG G watch turns on, then enters into a point where it is stuck doing the swirling colors boot animation until the battery dies. If I boot into bootloader mode, I cannot do anything other than reboot bootloader or power off. Recovery does not work, when I try it gives me the android guy on his back and tapping the screen does nothing. The restore tool used to be able to interface with my device, but now it does not even show up under 'adb devices.' If anyone could tell me something I can do, it would be greatly appreciated.
Is your bootloader unlocked?
Yes, I have an unlocked bootloader. When I turn the device on, it shows the little 'unlocked' symbol.
If you boot to bootloader mode can you run fastboot commands? If so, download one of the 6.0.1 roms from XDA and then follow the install instructions. If not....hmmm, not sure!

How do I do fastboot commands? I can boot to bootloader mode, and the restore tool talks with my watch and recognizes it as a device sometimes.
Via a USB cable connected to a computer and the fastboot tool installed on that computer. You also need the correct fastboot drivers for this.

Hi,
I had flashed the NexusXperia ROM on my Nexus S just recently. After trying it out I restored the stock ICS 4.0.4....
For some reason the phone keeps on showing the HD bootscreen continously without starting up....
I thought of clearing the dalvik and re-installing via restore however now that it's not got any recovery neither is it being detected on my pc....
I remember deactivating the USB debugging mode and probably this could be the reason it's not being detected....
Is there a way to flash recovery without debugging mode switched ON or is there a way to simply switch ON the USB debugging mode from bootloader screen....
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED ON THIS....
I have tried on windows 7 as well as on Ubuntu....but the device is not detected....thanks in advance.....

On the Nexus S, holding Volume Up while turning on the power will load the bootloader and from there you should be able to use fastboot to install a custom recovery using fastboot. You should not need USB debugging enabled for this to work.

Just keeps on waiting for the device....adb not able to detect the device too
The phone is in the bootloader mode and fastboot doesn't detect it? Sounds like it is completely broken then, your only option may be the UnBrickable Mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566475
Ok...i can see a "FASTBOOT MODE" written in red when i switch on using Vol+ & Power....

Fastboot is the mode you need to be in for fastboot.exe to detect the phone. Put it into that mode and try to flash the recovery with fastboot.exe using the command you posted above.
I have HUAWEI P smart. I am searching for a firmware for flash my phone.
I've had this phone for about a good 4 months now, was getting bored so i decide to unlock the bootloader, root, and install a new rom. Then i heard youwer able to activate the HTC logo button to wake and sleep your device with using a different kernel. tbaldens kernel v3.6. I have TWRP recovery installed with trickdroid as my rom.After i ran threw all the procedures to flash in Aroma installer. My phone won't turn on, when i connect it to my computer it shows up as a MTP device. When I do get it to power on its stuck at the "quietly brilliant" screen. cant get into recovery to restore from back up. PLEASE HELP! SOLDIER DEPLOYED!!!!!!!! dont have the means of sending it in. Any suggestion. Mac is my primary means of rooting. windows 8 drivers are kinda funky:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
If you have access to a Windows 7 PC, then download the RUU for your device. Next, relock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock) Next step, if you have bootloader access to your device, then you can go into fastboot (make sure it says fastboot USB). Open a command prompt, and type in fastboot oem rebootRUU. You're in RUU mode, where you can run the RUU and reset everything back to stock.

can i do this from a mac? and i can't get into fastboot because it wont go past the htc logo screen. it is identified as a MTP device in windows
Ahhhh thankfully i was able to get into my bootloader and flash my recovery! but thanks for the reply bro
Hey guys I need help. My HTC One is stuck in bootloader mode. I was trying to upgrade to the latest T-Mobile update. I tried downgrading with an RUU and I tired to flash stock recovery. I'm not all too sure what exactly happened, but I have no OS or recovery mode. All I have is bootloader mode. When I try to reboot to OS there is a bootloop. When I try to go into recovery a picture of a phone shows up with a red triangle and exclamation point. When I enter Fastboot in the bootloader it shows up on the phone as Fastboot USB. Although it says Fastboot USB, the phone is not recognized on the computer. When I try to enter fastboot commands, the prompt says "waiting for device" no matter what command I type.
If I could get the computer to recognize the phone, I could flash a recovery and a ROM or run an RUU. But that is only if I could get it to recognize the phone and I can't. I have searched for days and I can't find anything that works.
I have no OS, no recovery mode, and the bootloader isn't recognized on the computer. Please help! any help/advice will be greatly appriciated!
Please and thank you! :good:

keep on rebooting until it's seen in the PC. Make sure the driver is installed (or forcible install it if it's an unknown device).
After that, once you're able to see it... re-flash the unlock token (fastboot flase unlocktoken unlock_code.bin). That will get you back into the ROM. At least, that's what did for me:

But I can't reflash an older RUU at all, so I can't downgrade.

I figured it out. All I needed was windows 7 instead of 8 for some reason. After I installed 7 I just ran the 4.3 RUU. Now I have a different problem. Originally this all happened because I was going to upgrade to the new 4.4.2. Now I can't flash stock recovery. I have cwm but I need stock recovery to upgrade to 4.4.2. Since there is no 4.4.2 RUU I don't know what to do now.
Dear Community,
I got my Note 3 Pro Snapdragon Version today and I tried unlocking the bootloader, installing root and TWRP.
Unfortunately after I installed TWRP, WiFi didnt work anymore so I wanted to go back to where I was before.
i tried flashing the GlobalRom with the MiFlash Tool but somehow I'm now stuck with a bootloop.
The phone starts up and shows the MI Logo but doesnt go on. I tried booting TWRP temporarily via fastboot commands so that I can try to flash flashable zip files
but it doesnt let me execute "fastboot boot xyz.img" anymore because my device is locked.
I would really love to hear any solutions or ideas. I dont want any root or something anymore. If someone has an idea Im very happy!!!
thanks a lot in advance and tell me if you need any more infos

1. keep vol + and vol - pressed while connecting USB to enter adb mode
2. check if phone is connected with "adb devices" in command line, if phone shows up, enter "adb reboot edl"
3. now you can flash via MiFlash

First of all, HUGE thanks for your fast answer!
Unfortunately I couldnt get this to work. Since I am stuck at the Logog screen here is what I tried:
Pressing both volume buttons while Logo Screen and plugging USB.
Pressing both colume buttons while fastboot screen is up.
These two didnt enter adb mode, I guess because of the bootloop I'm in
I also tried antering recovery mode with volume up + power button. Pressing both volume buttons didnt help either but when I am in recovery like that it shows my device in adb as "sideload" device.
Maybe that helps ? Can you give further advice or am I doomed?
My idea would be: Is it possible to reflash the device completely only usinf fastboot? The only thing I seem to be able to enter is fastboot...
Is there a way from fastboot to "working phone" ?
or maybe through the "adb sideload" state?
thanks a lot in advance!
Paul
EDIT
tried installing via "adb sideload xyz.zip" command but after shortly showing a status bar on phone screen it aborted and said "Total xfer: 0.00x" on PC screen .
Also: I read "adb reboot edl" brings you to download mode so you can flash something. Tried it but the phone just rebooted the normal system, so it stuck on Logo again...
search miui forum for unbrick, there is 2 or 3 method without opening your device

I Had The Same Issue Brother ! There are only 2 Things which you can do now .
1. Test Point Method to enter EDL
2.Give it to Service Center . I Gave Mine to Service Center ,They Fixed it in 30 mins or less and it was free

Can I do the test point thing myself or is it risky?
What kind of service center? A general mobile phone repair shop or a Xiaomi special one?

I've been facing the same (or a similar?) problem about a week ago but managed to get out. Knowing me for having a head like a sieve I made some notes, sadly quite rudimentary
Did you try to flash with MiFlash after "adb reboot edl"? If I remember rightly after "adb reboot edl" you got the logo like booting another way, but the light is blinking red. Then I could flash via MiFlash.
I'm quite sure that if you get a "reboot" after entering "adb reboot edl", your phone will be in edl mode.
I will try that this evening when I am at home again and report. Thanks

Do you have another idea? :/
How did you unlock the bootloader, via official permission or that unofficial hack?

Only options you have right now are:
1) using test points method which is a but cumbersome and voids warranty if you care about that.
2) go to a xiaomi service center of you have any nearby.
It is hard bricked.
So there is absolutely no option to unlock bootlader via adb sideload or fastboot ?

Apparently, no! Whenever using unofficial methods, read precautions carefully and you missed all as I can see. Wait if someone can help you out.
apply official unlock. then unlock your device from fastboot mode.

That sounds nice and easy. I already applied for official unlock.
But: do you know if u can use the official unlock now? I can only access fastboot and adb sideload mode. Is it possible to activate official unlock from there? Or do I need a working ROM rather?
I would have thought that official unlock doesn't work from fastboot /adb sideload...

I have the same problem. I made the same mistakes as shisaya24. I have followed every procedure for unbricking and nothing works. I even applied for an unlock code and got it from Xiomi. I used their mi-unlock app which requires fastboot (pwr/vol-) but it gets to 50% and bombs out. It states it can't verify the phone. Can anyone please help me??

out of sheer desperation I tried MiPhone again and after a few tries, MiPhone started updating the OS. My phone now works again and I have an unlock code as well.
I followed some tips to unlock bootloader my v300k, after that my phone cant boot into any mode so it brick. I use box to go to stock but it still dont have download mode and fastboot .What can i do ?. My phone now have bootloader unlocked but i cant instal twrp because i cant access download mode or fastboot on us998.
All help will be appreciated
So you are saying that you get the warning about having an unlocked bootloader, but you can't boot to fastboot? That doesn't make sense...
With the phone off, hold vol down and plug in the USB cable -- what do you get?
