Can someone help me plz? I try going into recovery and now the streak is stuck in a black screen that says Starting Fastboot USB download protocol. I am not rooted nor did I try to root. All I did was press the vol down and power together and it went to this and now it won't reboot. Can someone help me out plz? I don't know what to do.
Use they reset pin

Reset pin. It's in the side slot where the SIM and SD card are; use a pin or paper clip to hit it.
Also, to boot into recovery, you need to hold the volume up key. Volume down will get you to Fastboot.
Okay, thank you both very much. I did as you said and it rebooted.

ekh... bought a nexus one off craigslist. it was already rooted. i used it for a day and then decided i didnt want to keep it, so i decided to do a hard reset. it's now stuck on the screen with the four different colors (nexus symbol) and the unlocked lock on the bottom. i've done the clear storage by holding the volume down (or trackball) and pressing power. i've tried to go through all those settings and cleared everything, but it still wont load..
any ideas? do i need to re-flash the original rom? can i flash a rom if it doesnt boot up? please help, as this is my first android phone and i've had it all of 24 hrs.. thanks
omar
Omar,
Please read the second sticky post in the forum "[ROM] Original Shipping - Tutorial" This has all the files and will tell you the steps to return your phone to the original shipping rom.
You can skip to step 5 once you download the necessary files. To get into fastboot mode on the phone do the following:
1. Power off the phone
2. Hold down the volume down key and press the power button (continuing to hold the volume down key)
3. Release both and it should boot into a white screen with the top, highlighted, option being fastboot
4. Press the power button to enter into fastboot mode. The screen should say fastboot-usb in red
Once you see fastboot usb you can begin to erase and flash the roms per the instructions.
FYI: The fact that your phone is booting to the four colored X logo means that your phone is not bricked. It is simply in some sort of boot loop. A bricked phone will show nothing on the screen and will not connect to the computer in any way shape or form.
if anyone can help me via AIM i would really appreciate it. i think i'm just about there, just need a little more info

i'm trying to figure out this fastboot thing.. i got the USB thing to work, so now my computer detects the phone. i downloaded fastboot but it keeps giving me some error message that it cant find some file... any ideas from there? thanks
omar
ok.. found and downloaded the sdk, and now when i open fastboot, it just closes right away.. wtf am i doing wrong?
You are running fastboot from a command prompt right?
To open a command prompt type "cmd" into run.
Posting a thread in the right forum might get you some help. =]
Hope you have a custom recovery (most likely). Hold volume down and push the power button. Then on the white screen, press volume down once and select Recovery by pressing Power. Hopefully, you'll have Amon Ra's recovery. If so, then you will be sent into this recovery screen where you can turn on USB mode which will allow you to connect to your computer so you can download a ROM onto your SD Card. Do that.
Then you disconnect...wipe everything under the 'Wipe' settings...then Flash the new ROM. You should be good to go from there!

Here's my dilemma. I flashed CM7 RC4 to my n1 last night, now it is stuck in a loop of the boot animation and will not proceed any further. I'd boot into the bootloader, but my power button's been dead for a month, ADB won't recognize my phone to reboot-bootloader. Am I boned?
Pull the battery, connect your phone to a charger then hold the trackball while re-inserting the battery. Make take a few attempts, but it should eventually boot into fastboot. You could also hold volume down instead of the trackball if you just want hboot...

Now i'm getting the battery indicator flashing green/orange. I can mess with it until I eventually get it charging solid. Is there any quick workaround for this?
Now I'm in fastboot. Is there a way to get into recovery without power button?
Is your bootloader unlocked?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
yes. indeed it is. If it helps, I have the latest CWM installed.
Place a copy of your recovery image in your sdk tools folder, connect via fastboot and type:
fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img
(use the real name of your recovery image)

What steps should I take to force recovery mode if I have an EVO? I've tried holding volume up while power but it vibrates three times and does nothing. I'm stuck in the boot loader screen.
*-**EDIT
I was able to fix it doing a hard reset.
Turn the power off. If your HTC EVO 4G is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
Hold the Volume Down button
Press and release the Power button
You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
Press and release the Power button
Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO
hi all,
my incredible s is just 1 week old and i cant on it now..
no rooting done and using stock roms..i just download some apps..
now my phone cant on and when i try to hit the power button, nothing shows up and only vibration 7 times..
i hope i can get some help and ways to solve this problem here...
thanks everyone..
Looks like its screwed, go into bootloader ( vol down + power) and use the volume buttons to go to factory reset or wipe data ( don't know the exact command from my head) and press the power button. This will wipe everything so you will lose some data.
If that doesn't work try to flash the Rom again, follow my downgrade guide, but only do the pb32img copy to sdcard and boot into bootloader again. If you need more help just ask!
Gl
i already tried the volume down + power button method but still no response from the phone..nothing came out..just 7 times vibration..
can u give a step by step way to downgraqde or anything that will make it starts..
thanks a lot..
Annoying issue.
Did you contact HTC, or the store?
edit: did some googling for "HTC vibrates seven times", http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/113/t/10043.aspx
Sounds like a serious hardware issue
i hope is a software problem...any more helps here??
Remove battery for roughly a few minutes, make sure the device has no power left, maybe press on when batt is out lol.
Than after a while put back in the batt and do the power and volume trick, if this wont work...

I bricked my tablet after I tried to change my font using font installer by jrummy?
It asked me to restart for changes to occur so I figured if I restarted on my own it would work the same way so I hit cancel. I restarted about 1 minute after I hit cancel.
My tablet will boot up to the AT&T "Rethink possible" screen (after the animation).
It will get stuck there with a pattern of light vibrations between a couple seconds each.
Currently running the stock AT&T ics rom posted in the android dev section for i957.
I've tried to boot into recovery but the Samsung screen doesn't come up until I let go of the buttons therefore leading it to reboot again.
Also tried to go into the emergency download mode ( power, up, down) but it didn't work either.
I appreciate all and any advice, please and thank you!
My device is rooted if that wasn't already implied, I will provide any other details if needed, please help!!
Thanks again!
Are you sure you can't get into recovery mode? Hold power and volume up buttons, etc. Does Odin recognize the device?
Do you have a custom recovery, and if so which one, or is it stock.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using xda app-developers app
keep trying to get into download mode or recovery. should be possible. the font change will not affect recovery.
I was also performing a backup with titanium backup when I restarted does that make a difference?
I have clockwork mod recovery.
From experience, I can only go into recovery if the Samsung logo pops up for a milli second and I let go.
I actually haven't tried to see if Odin recognizes my device but I assumed if I couldn't go into download mode it wouldn't.

Were you restoring apps from a honeycomb Rom? That will cause a soft brick.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
If you can get into recovery do a factory reset. That should get you out of a soft brick. You'll have to re-install your apps though.

Didnt see if you worked your way out of this or not. You may have to hold 3 finger salute (power, up, down) for up to 16 seconds. My guess is that covers the 8 seconds to reboot through any hang up plus up to 8 more to boot to menu.
Still no luck, the computer is not detecting my tablet.
I also wasn't restoring, I was just backing up my data. I'm letting it charge for now, anyone know what else I should do?
I really can't enter recovery OR download.
**** UPDATE****
Okay guys I finally fixed it. Will post details if anyone is still interested.
I'd be interested in the details.

How did you do?

I couldn't go into download mode until I did some weird trick with the buttons.
I had to hold the 3 buttons ( power, vol up, vol down) for a couple seconds.. like 6 seconds
THEN hold power and vol up for 2 secs
THEN back to power, vol up, vol down.
I did it by accident cuz I was frustrated but it ended up working so all is good
Thanks for all the help guys!!
I am in the Same Boat!

Hi,
I tried the regular fastboot method to load CWM recovery.
Whenever it got to the point of loading the recovering, it would just say "flashing recovery on the device...".
Then, when restarting bootloader and clicking on "recovery", it would just shut down the phone.
I decided to experiment to try fix the issue, and I came across this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928551
I downloaded the ZIP file and I ran the root.bat
It flashed some boot images and now my phone wont start
It is stuck on the "warning bootloader unlocked screen" and will not go any further.
Please help . I'm so scared that I've bricked my phone. Is there ANYTHING I can do?
Thanks in advance for the help!
The methods u used can't brick your phone
Reboot in boot loader by pressing the power button and volume - button at the same time. Just at the moment the phone shuts-down/reboot release the power button. It will boot in boot loader. After this flash cwm or twrp again and with the volume down button go to recovery. Select recovery with the volume up key and u are done. Cwm/twrp is flashed and will boot in the recovery.
In recovery I would install the ROM from Omar. It will restore your system and boot.IMG so it will work. Don't forget to wipe data.
If this doesn't work flash the home made fast boot files somewhere in the development section

Thanks - I tried that. I do let go of the buttons as soon as it starts to reboot itself, but it doesn't start the bootloader - it still just shows the screen "warning bootloader unlocked". I can not get back into the bootloader
Do u reset the phone with the 4 buttons and just when it resets does your phone reboots immediately?

If I hold all 4 buttons, the screen goes blank, and the green light stays on. My PC then finds hardware called "MEDFIELD" but wont find drivers for it.
Does this help at all?

The above applies when connected with usb.
If I press all 4 buttons without USB connected, it just reboots and gets stuck on the "unlocked bootloader" message again

You should let go only of power button and hold vol.down button (at least for me)
If your PC finds hardware - can you do fastboot devices to check whether it is actually recognized properly?
And last thing - which method you used to load recovery (and were you on ICS\JB)? You were rooted and used automated methods or you unlocked bootloader and wanted to root afterwards (manually through fastboot)?

You are a GENIUS!!! A LIFE SAVER!!! I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am. BOTH of your points fixed the phone.
I could never get into recovery becuase I was pressing the power button. I could never get into fastboot becuase I was holding both the power and volume down button.
So, for anyone using a RAZR I... please note the following SIMPLE things:
1) In the bootloader menu, the power button does NOT select the option. The VOL UP button selects the option
2) To boot into BOOTLOADER : Hold both power and vol down buttons until the phone restarts, and then RELEASE the power button, while still HOLDING the volume down button! It will then load the bootloader.
Again, THANKS so so much for reviving my phone for me. I was going crazy without a phone!

I was going through everything you've faced yesterday. So yeah, glad I was of help to someone else as well)
This has never happened to me before but don't stress one bit because nothing ever permanently bad comes from this. You can forget about it being destroyed. These aren't iPhones, haha. You can get it going again pretty easy I hear. Just don't stress because there is no point and you WILL get help. Just listen to what these experienced dudes are saying and you should be back on track. Good luck!

Nice that it is solved. I gave u the solution on my first post, but nice that someone els did a better job in explaining it
There is almost no possibilities to brick your device if u only flash things like the boot, system, recovery or data partition. They can he solved very easy. If u flash the other partitions like the radio u can get a problem.
