Hi
My G9 Power is stock ROM and is just over 2 years old, It's running fairly standard stuff and isn't rooted. . Last night I was responding to a message when it shut down. It had plenty of charge, at least 60%.
Rebooting it just results in the boot looping - splash screen for a few minutes, then blank, then restart. I deliberately left it doing that all night to exhaust the battery, which happened earlier.
It is recognising a cable is plugged in but my memory tells me that a light comes on the say it's charging, which isn't happening now - but that may be because of the stage it's in in booting (though it doesn't come on when the phone is off either). There is no haptic feedback when I plug in the cable, or sound.
So while I'm no expert I have previously replaced ROMs on an old phone, so I thought of Recovery. I can get to the menu which includes recovery, which is headed (in red bold) AP Fastboot Flash mode (Secure). The options are Restart, Bootloader, Barcodes, Recovery and Start. Barcode shows me barcodes and start goes back into the loop but Recovery doesn't do anything at all.
How can I get round this as I can't use ADP unless it's in the recovery menu can I?
Or is it dead, terminally?
Any ideas appreciated...)

Your best bet might be to follow Post #3 in this thread. You will likely lose anything that wasn't backed up. But it might be useful in salvaging your phone.
Instead of the link in that thread, you probably need the newest firmware from this: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/cebu/official/RETGB/ (I'm guessing you're in the UK, based on your username and the spelling of "recognising"). Extract the file and then run the commands from the first link.
You will need to have platform-tools installed.
Hope it helps.

no, always take the flash commands out of flashfile.xml from insode the firmware zip.
@GeoffUK That would be my advice, too. Download the firmware and flash it. A bootloop is mostly related to a corrupt /data partition and flaahing the firmware will erase /data.
If you have any questions about it just ask.
or try this tool

Thanks for this important correction.
Thanks for the prompt and useful reply.
I'd have quite happily tried the suggestion but I can't identify the correct file in the link https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/borneo/
Also, when I plug the phone into the PC there is not a glimmer of recognition on the PC (though the phone knows it's been connected) so I don't think it is sufficiently connected to do anything with - don't forget I cant boot to any menu, recovery or otherwise. I've tried different cables etc.
Lastly, I ran it down to zero battery yesterday. I don't think it is even charging as it was plugged in overnight and on the occasion I can get a display the battery state is showing 0% (i,e, when I first plug in the cable).
I'm not about to spend a lot of time or money trying to fix it but I have just ordered a new charging port dock as that was cheap enough and seems reasonably easy to replace.
I'll report back once that is done, meantime would appreciate any more thoughts people may have.
Thanks again.

But you can see a screen like this?

Yes (sometimes)
This is the 'bootloader screen' or 'fastboot mode'. To open that screen:
device is powered off: hold Power+Vol- to boot into fastboot mode
device is powered on (but bootloops): hold Power+Vol- for 10-15 sec. to boot into fastboot mode
In that mode you can use the LMSA to flash a new firmware. In case it won't work you have the option to flash the firmware manually (with my help).
Hi, thanks for your patience.
I can get it to boot to the exact screen you show but it won't go any further, on any button press on the phone. I can scroll up and down from Start and see the other options but selecting any of them doesn't look like it does much. The PC doesn't seem to see the phone.
But I'd be happy trying anything!! I realise the phone contents are probably lost.

Once you're getting to that screen, that's a good sign. You need to leave it at that screen and then use Rescue and Smart Assistant (RSA) on your Windows computer to reinstall the firmware on your phone.
In fastboot mode you are able to flash a new firmware. Download the tool linked above and install it. You get instructions by the tool. Try it and for any questions write a post here.
RSA is running and I am logged in but it needs the IMEI which I don't have.
It does say if you know your phone supports Fastboot you can connect directly via Fastboot mode but it doesn't explain how.
Will the tool also link me to the right firmware?
OK, I found the original box which has the IMEI on.
I'm now downloading the firmware.
Well that completed successfully but I'm afraid it didn't fix the problem....
I don't think the phone is holding charge. It was still looping at the boot screen though it has now stopped doing that and is just blank. I'll leave it on charge overnight but I'm not expecting much!
I have the charge port part arriving in the next few days so I guess that's the next step.
Thanks for your help, I'm really grateful!
Still looping?
No, it's just dead. I think if I plugged it in it'd still be looping
sounds like a hardware issue...
Yep, new phone. I'll try this part I've ordered before giving up.
Thanks for all your help though.
no problem! I hope you will manage to fix the issue.

I am getting the exact same screen...cant get it to recovery or download mode.
its not bricked, I had this many times while pulling the usb or battery while in odin. Plug in the usb and press and hold vol up and down and power. When the screen goes black let go of power while continuing to hold vol up and down. Should bring you back to download mode
I was able to get it into download mode and flash the rom. Thanks

How'd you get it to flash? I got that same screen but in ODIN it just sits at cache.rfs... nothing good happening after that. It is basically frozen.

OMG I finally got it. I had to leave ODIN open after it stuck at file analysis. I then took out the battery of the phone and put it back into download mode. I click start in ODIN and thankfully... she's flashing back to stock 2.1. I had tried a million different ways... ODIN is not exceptionally stable. No bueno. I think I'm going to keep the stock Kernal cause this was scary... lol.

I had the same problem.
What you have to do is run Odin with the usb connected to the phone, then you unplug and plug the usb back in, hold the vol - and + with the power button at the same time, once the screen goes black, release the power button, but keep holding the vol - and + buttons and Odin will recognize your phone. then the phone will be at the downloading screen
That's how it worked for me.
What did you do to get your phone in this state? Try to root ??

Only suggestion I can give is to keep trying, that's how I got my phone out of that dreaded state in the OP's pic.
Man I'm in the same boat. I tried the key combination many times before this. I was flashed bionix 1.2 w/OC and was using ROM Manager to revert back to my previous ROM which was stock and when it was done it rebooted and would stay stuck with the Samsung Vibrant screen. I ended upsing ADB to get it into download mode and the other modes but I tried to use ODIN to restore after it was in download mode and it just seemed stuck. How long does it take to usually load the kernel? Well it was taking so long so I just pulled the USB plug. After I did this I got that cellphone and computer icon. I've tried many times to get it into download mode or restore mode many times with the volume button and power button and haven't had any luck at all. I'll keep trying. I hope this really works.
I have tried every combo mentioned and a few others along with every button combination, I read it has to do with what rom you were using before the phone -> computer icon. I came from bionix 1.3, I would love any help to get this thing fixed before my wife finds out...
This happened to me earlier today instead pull the battery out and usb then put the battery back in open odin attatch the usb to the computer and then hold down volume up and volume down while plugging the usb to the phone finally and it worked might take a few tries and if odin doesn't recognize the phone unplug the usb and plug it back in if it's already in dl mode
if ur device is hardware locked, ur as well as bricked at this point, i cant get mine out
An easier way to get to download mode that I have been using. Have Odin open. Turn off the phone. Hold volume up and plug in the USB. Goes straight into download mode for me every time. Not sure if this will work with the hardware locked phones (I don't have a hardware locked phone - got it on launch day).

Old thread, I know. Just my 2 cents. I only found this to be true of Odin v1.0 since v1.3 seems quite stable.
If your using odin and it hangs during flashing never pull the usb always pull the battery out first then the cable the phone will stay on when you pull the batterycuz the usb is giving it power but once the usb is pulled the phone is off and you won't be stuck with the dreaded phone ! Computer screen.

That doesn't sound good.
What were you trying to do when this happened?
What stage does your phone get to when trying to boot up (if you can use a camera to take a picture of it, that'd help out a lot)?
What does the phone say when you try booting into Download Mode or Recovery?

Well, none of those three items are inherently bad.. The "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" is common when using a custom recovery (like twrp). The "set warranty bit : recovery" is, unless I'm mistaken, just telling Knox that your phone has a "not stock" recovery (i.e. setting Knox to 0x1). That is normal when running a custom recovery.
When it is rebooting, can you hold down the power button to turn off the phone completely? Or does it not register the power button long enough to actually do anything?
When you take the battery out and put it back in, does the phone try to start up right away or do you have to press the power button in order to start it up?
Is that literally the only text you're seeing? I get a full debug screen before that information telling me how I restarted the phone (i.e. hard reset vs. soft reset) and if the reset was caused by an error... I caught a screen shot of it down below (sorry for the picture quality, the Asus TF101 isn't well-known for it's camera quality).

looks like you have the engineering bootloader correct? I would take out your usb plug then take the battery. wait a min or to.put it back in.hold volume down,home button,and power untill the phone vibrates then release the power button while still pressing the volume and home key.

This what I had to then use Odin flash your recovery it worked for me
This happened to me. It it wouldn't boot up into recovery. The blue recovery booting words would come up and all that other stuff but then would quickly go to black screen and boot loop again so I couldn't get into recovery to do a restore or reset and couldn't even just power on the phone. The way I fixed it was 1 pulled battery 2 with battery out held down volume up, home and power button 3 while keeping these held down with one hand inserted battery with other hand. It was tricky but it let me go into down load mode where I re flashed my recovery and fixed the problem. Give it a try and I hope everything works out for you.

Did ya fix it yet? @VansHighTops Just out of curiosity.
Hello, this is my first time posting here. If I should be posting somewhere else, please let me know. I'm having the same exact problem. I have KitKatKiller ROM installed. I opened up ROM manager and it said that my CWM recovery had an update so I updated it (no auto-reboot, I don't know if there should have been one) and then later on I rebooted because I updated xposed framework. Ever since then it has been just boot looping saying its going into recovery and that's it. I've tried all the above suggestions and nothing. Any more ideas?
EDIT: It just randomly started working. Sorry for crying wolf. (Note: It looped for about 30 minutes) Thank you all!

I'm stuck at the moment, but the phone does boot up but coping files to the internal memory won't work. Any ideas or help will be deeply appreciated.
Try this first:
1) Remove battery and disconnect USB Cable
2) Press and hold Volume Up
3) Insert battery while Still pressing volume up
4) Insert USB Cable while Still pressing volume up
5) With a little luck you're in download mode and able to flash KDZ with LG flash tool
If not, it seems like fastboot should be working from that screen. I remember going through that on my G2. Make sure your drivers are working. Reinstall them, reboot computer. If you can get your computer to recognize it in fastboot you should be able to flash the partitions manually. Sounds like just laf is needed, at least to get you to download mode so you can KDZ.
Edit- hmm you upgraded to lollipop, I believe I read that Verizon removed fastboot. Maybe some more ideas will come.

if you cant get download mode to come up, your laf partition is jacked. im not sure how you would fix that from recovery though, as adb is disabled, or was for me anyway.

I can't, the screen shot in the first post is all I get no matter how I try to boot the phone, even plugging it in sends it right to that screen.
Have you tried pulling battery, volume down then power to get into system recovery screen? Then maybe factory reset, just thinking outloud here.

Maybe try to contact @nitroglycerine33 he had the usb yanked while flashing with lg tool (very bad) and fixed it. Maybe he can point you in the right direction.
I sent him a PM, this issue kept me up all night... I cant think of anything.
I fixed the exact same issue by removing the battery, then taking out the SIM card and my external SD. Once those were gone, I pressed and held Vol Down and Power, then put the battery back in while continuing to hold the two buttons. Shortly after the battery was put in, the phone vibrated and went to its traditional recovery menu. From there, I just selected Wipe Cache, and I was then taken to my original TWRP I had. Redoing the process for installation of Jasmine went flawlessly the second time around and am currently running it right now.

How do you access fastboot?
Hello, i need help, i tried everything but nothing seems to work. I tried to crossflash a TM version but i believe that i did something wrong and deleted a partition. When i tried to go from EDL to download mode it simple became unresponsive, the screen doesn't show anything but it can be connected to 9008 and is detected by qfil. On qfil when i try to open the partition manager, it never opens, just says that is working. I cannot hard or soft reset it. and when i try to flash it wit lgup isnt detected and is telling that there is no handset connected
Please help, i dont know what to do now.
Edit:
I'll try to explain me better.
The phone doesn't turn on but is detected on QFIL.
Buttons doesn't seem to work,i mean, they work but i cannot turn it on or go to the recovery mode.
When im in QFIL and i try to use the partition manager the partition manager window never pop up.

It seems as, if you not only deleted a partition, but possibly the entire flash. this has happened to a few here, because the corresponding command is placed in the wrong place in Partition Manager (when opening a single partition).
Which partiton should it have been that you supposedly deleted?
If that was really the case, then without an existing full backup you have a bigger problem...
you can restore full backup but you will have problem with imei its hard to fix
You should wait until your phone is complete discharged. Then try again to initialize the EDL-Mode and to get in Partition-Manager. If you don't become Partition-Infos, then you can be sure, your Partition-Table is defect (or deleted).

You should wait until your phone is complete discharged. Then try again to initialize the EDL-Mode and to get in Partition-Manager. If you don't become Partition-Infos, then you can be sure, your Partition-Table is defect (or deleted).

i finally can enter into the partition manager after a lot of attempts
Have you extracted partitions from kdz by your Hand, to Flash them in Partition Manager?
Attention: Before you Flash partitions, make Backups from then (Read Data Partition)!
And, don't Flash FTM
That seems good, what i now see...
You should now try to reach Dl-Mode again

You cant get into edl-mode or you cant get into DL-mode?
If you are in Partition Manager, then you are in edl-mode

Ok, then you must try to flash some lun0 partitions from your kdz (except ftm).
Then retry to get in Download-Mode...

i flashed the files and closed qfil,
after that i hold power and vol- until i hear the sound of windows telling me that the devices is disconnected.

tried both ways
i hold power and vol- , when i hear the sound of disconnection i stop and disconnect the usb, then immediately i press vol+ and connect again the usb and nothing happens.
I think we need some files from a full backup now.
Do you have a cloud somewhere where I could possibly store a few files?
**UPDATE**
For future references this is the status right now.
@kingilein Have been helping me all this time with my phone.
What we tried?
We tried flashing some boot partitions to try to make the phone able to enter download mode.
After the flash the phone disconnected from edl mode and died (no response) no edl mode, no boot, nothing is super bricked now.
The phone battery was almost full so now we are waiting to let it drain to try to enter edl mode again.
What i'm doing now?
Every hour or so i try to turn it on holding power button for a minute or so.
2 mins later i take the phone and hold power + vol- for a minute or so.
Sometimes i pick the phone and hold power + vol- while i fast tap vol+ for 5 minutes.
Every 3-4 hours i do the same with the phone connected to the pc.
i tried different ports, and different cables.
i don't know if the phone battery is drained atm.
but i tried putting it in a wireless charger and the wireless charger is showing that the phone is charging so it can be charged.
Hello,
I've got a Realme 7. Tried to update a ROM, something happened, lost recovery, not it's boot looping.
I understand what I need to do - Reflash stock rom and recovery.
However, I can't get my phone to power off, I can't get the USB filters installed, I can't do anything...
Holding power does nothing, holding vol + and power does nothing...It just keeps looping back to the realme logo.
I assume, if I can get it powered off, I can then hold volume up and down to get libusb to recognize it and then go from there. However, I'm at a loss...
Thanks.

Open the USB filters wizard, and pay attention when the device is trying to boot, you could install it, see which item is added. To completely power off the device, you just have to press the three buttons simultaneously.
Yeah, can't get it to the point where

The 3 buttons doesn't seem to work either. Just black screen, then Realme logo - Orange state - Your device will boot in 5 seconds.
It just goes black again, and back to the realme logo.
Can't get to do anything.

In the short time it is going to blank screen it is power off, then immediately it is trying to boot, I faced the same a lot of times. A variant, pressing vol up + PWR also device gets off, when device is trying to boot, tap on the item newly added and install it, open firstly the libUSB wizard and keep it open, and visible to you.
Yeah, I can't get it. Doesn't seem to detect that the phone is connected to my computer at all. Nothing shows up in the USB filters...Doesn't seem to matter when I press volume up and down throughout the process...
Can't seem to do anything. Just looping...Ugh - I guess I'm out of luck?

Install all the previous drivers needed.
Also you have this tool to flash recovery and see from there https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
To get it work you don´t need the LibUSB32, you have to find the short time device is trying to reboot to press the volume buttons to connect to the tool.

Well, man, you need to follow instructions to get it to work properly, anyway if you already installed properly the UsbDK 64 then you can invoke the graphical interface, typing in a CMD (open in this path) python mtk_gui
Yeah, I've followed the instructions, and a YouTube tutorial - I have everything installed. However, I'm not getting the gui...
Thanks for the help by the way. Getting there...

Open a terminal in the same mtk-client main directory and type python mtk_gui or directly through the command line, use python mtk w recovery drag&drop your image

OK, phone is dead now...Hah - Time to do some more research.
I assume that once I get it loaded up in MTK Client I can just flash recovery.img from the stock rom?
Or do I need to flash something else completely?

No, it's not dead, I had bricked my device even in a state of no signal of life at all, but I have completely working now, just I lost IMEI cause a bad flashing and back up gone.
You should start by flashing only the stock recovery, so you can try to flash an ozip from there, be sure your device has some charge now and check all the drivers you have installed.
Open device manager in Windows, and connect your PC while you are pressing buttons and so, and check how it is listed there.
This is preloader mode:

OK, I will check the drivers. MTK Client can't see it - So there must be something wrong with the drivers...

hold volume + and power button for while, as soon as the screen turns off leave the button. your phone will successfully turn off. and to solve the problem. you need to download the official firmware which have scatter file and Remember to backup your NV data OR any NV RAM before flashing or you will loose IMEI number because of which many people are facing IMEI problem including me.. So after backup Flash the firmware with format all or re-partition and will successfully boot up. remember to restore NV DATA/NV RAM. you can use unlock tool to flash the firmware.
Same problem here... I change my Chinese GT2 Pro to Global, everythings fine, but when I tried to lock the bootloader a message apears saying the flash was broken or something and now it keeps flashing the "realme Powered by android" for 0,5 a sec and rebooting again and again and again... can't do absolute nothing...

hey, tazz, have you solved the problem yet? i'm currently on the same predicament as you are, just on a C12 instead of a 7.
Any one could recovery the phone after this problem? Seems that this problem is common, but I do not find any one that tells that fixed it and how did it...

Recover from what? There are many users including me that recovered the 99% of its functionalities. If you are referring to the IMEI, then, yes, and not, it´s not possible by any tools that available for end users, but it can be done through specialized hardware tools.

Recover that:
Bash:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot.exe flash recovery corrupted_recovery.img
fastboot.exe flash vbmeta corrupted_vbmeta.img
fastboot.exe boot corrupted_recovery.img
After this, the phone is on boot looping, and because the looping, the usb is reconfiguring all the time (I was unable to get time enough to connect using adb or fastboot)
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the physical buttons does not respond after this procedure. I'm unable to use power; power+down; power+up...

Just search in the forum, there is not a guide all-in-one, but everything you need is here.
From unlock the bootloader, either officially or unofficially, using mtk-client, updating the drivers through Lib-USB, device filter, flashing every partition using the same tool or SP Flash tool.
Just a side note, Physical button don´t have to do with software issues, device not entering to a specific mode, is not because physical buttons are supposedly, not responding, but this stage is missing or unavailable. There are many posts and guides about unbricking this device, just search thoroughly through the forum.
