Sharp Aquos S2 stucked in Download mode - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi:
My unlocked bootloader SS2 phone got stucked in Download Mode after successfully installed/flashed AICP ROM
It booted once and when i rebooted to enter recovery got stucked. Tried pushing buttons combos but still stucked in Dmode.
Have no access to fastboot from Windows but can get limited access to fastboot in Debian: can flash several twrp recoveries, can flash
AICP ROM again but can not get fastboot oem commands working.
Can't enter to recovery because phone never turn off.
Tried also to come back to Nougat but can't enter recovery to flash ss2_old_bootloader.
I do not know what to do.
Any help?

Also have this problem... any help?

have u try to connect into computer, use adb, and use this command :
Code:
fastboot reboot
what's the result with that?

No connection.
But i have reinstalled OST Treble ROM and phone now working.

I also have problem after flashing to AICP and sometimes phone (after power off) stuck in Download mode.
Just enter:
fastboot --set-active=a reboot

I have the same problem. I tried to follow your advice, but fastboot in my PC doesn't recognize the parameter (all I get is fastboot help page).
Regards.
EDIT: reinstalled treble v3.1 via OST and it fixed the download mode issue.

thanks!

in my xperience is connect your phone to the PC then open cmd ... make sure in folder of adb and fastboot .exe stored ...
type:
Code:
fastboot continue

Maybe use other fastboot.
Sometimes you must enter:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=_a reboot
("_a" instead of "a")
BTW. My Aquos sometimes stuck in download mode after installing AICP.
I fixed this by entering:
Code:
adb shell
bootctl mark-boot-successful

Hello, i have the same exact problem. I tried to use adb program to fix this problem, but my laptop couldn't recognize my device. Any other solutions would be helpful. Thanks for your attention! (I'm a beginner in technology, so please forgive me)

Need help with bricked Redmi Note 3 Pro (Kenzo/Snapdragon)

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
exp: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=257227
Unfortunately they all do not work because they always require either a phone in download mode, and i only get to fastboot and adb sideboard or they require flashing something via fastboot but I can't do that either because it says my device is locked if I try...
Any suggestions how to flash a ROM with fastboot only or with adb sideload?
Thanks a lot

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?

I didnt use the official way :/ Im so hoping my phone isnt broken. I wish i owuld have been more patient

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.

ADB unauthorized when phone shutted off

Hello,
I have specific problem.
I was on the stock rom 10.3.6... with root and twrp installed. So I wanted to update to Miui 11 and I uninstall Magisk and done the update through the twrp.
So, in order to back magisk I wanna to go to twrp via fastboot and PC. But I am constantly getting message "ADB devices unauthorized". Anyway... this is only happening when phone is shutted off(in order to go to fastboot mode). When phone is turned on everything is fine and I can se device via adb command prompt. I tried any written solution on internet but nothing could solve the problem. When I connect turned on phone I regularly get the question to authorize phone and I click ok. And while phone is turned on everything is fine and I have accsess to internal and external memory of phone.
Is there any possible solution to solve this stuck ? Is there some other way to boot into twrp besides fastboot ? For now I would skip installing magisk via stock recovery or without twrp access.
Thanks infront !
This is how its susposed to work. Device should be online when turned on, and not when off. This is first time i heard someone try to connect device wiht adb via fastboot.

Thank you for reply.
I think that the reguar way for boot into twrp via pc is that your phone is turned off. Than you connect with pc and start adb commands. I dont understand, really.
Ok, how can I boot into twrp without pc if dfe is not flashed ?

You use fastboot instead of adb commands when phone is off. Put your phone in fastboot mode and type commands like fastboot boot (drop your twrp image here) and hit enter

Can't connect to my phone

I tried to much with installing diffent ROMs and now nothing's working anymore.
My poco starts only to fastboot but I can't connect with adb. Any other possibilities?
Drivers are all ok on the PC, because my second poco is normaly recognised.
Thanks for help.
Given unlocked bootloader, If you can only boot to fastboot maybe your recovery was deleted. You probably need to install twrp:
1.get twrp here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/recovery-official-twrp-t3883736
2. If fastboot is working then:
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
If you can boot to twrp then flash a custom rom
Note that I'm unsure if above will work, only guessed

What happens if you type fastboot devices

Need help with OP7T Pro soft brick

Hi,
Would like some help with a little issue i'm having,
Got a HD1910 model of the phone running the global rom and it seems to be stuck in 'fastboot' mode. Every time the phone reboots or pressing 'start' it will return back to fastboot mode.
Extra details:
It's locked and the developer tools were never enabled.
Occasionally it has shown `qualcomm crash dump mode` with no extra details.
Using this MSM tool it completes successfully but still continues booting into fastboot mode.
All buttons and ports are working.
Using ADB `fastboot reboot` reboots the device but still into fastboot mode
It started to happen after I woke up from installing the latest OTA official oneplus update.
Any help would be appreciated

Try this might work need to download full ROM
1.Boot into recovery
2.Tap on upgrade from USB
3.Go to your computer and open a command window
"Click Shift and Right click simultaneously"
4. Type the following command
Adb sideload file name.zip
5.Wait for the process to complete
6.Reboot your device

Thanks for the reply, but it seems entering into recovery just reboots back into fastboot mode.
Hmm, seems from your description as if your recovery is broken. You could flash a stock recovery in fastboot with the "fastboot flash recovery <filename.img>" command, for download of recoveries you could take a look at this thread and find one suitable for your device/regional version. Once you got a working recovery you can proceed as written above...
Good luck !

But it seems the requirements state it requires a `unlocked bootloader` which mine is not. :/

You can try to reboot into stock recovery instead of flash it
"fastboot reboot recovery recovery.img"
And then follow the other steps explained on 2nd post
