So guys before you say anything I spent like 20 minutes researching and googling and could not find anything and getting inpatient I decided to make a new thread. So my problem is that I can't do anything y phone is stuck in a boot loop and will not go into FLASHMODE (Green LED) and I am very frustrated. I tried using SEUS but it doesnt recognise the phone my only shot is too ask you smart people. p.s it gets to the animation of colours on stock 4.1.2
I have tried holding pwr+vol button but it doesnt let me get into flash either
press vol+ connect to usb then hold power button till you see green led/vibration.
Hard reset it first.
Press power and volume up until you get a series of vibrations, then keep pressing them for another 30 seconds.
You may or may not get some more vibrations, it doesn't matter
Then run pccompanion and software repair. Choose the repair function and only attach the phone when it prompts you to do it.

Hello,
I've just installed this ROM after wiping Cache/Delvik Cache and system wipe.
Now the phone is stuck on the boot screen and I can not get back into recovery to sort it out.
I held down power & vol+ buttons to get into recovery but nothing happens. The Home & Back buttons flash after 3 seconds then nothing happens.
Any thing else I should do to get into recovery ( TWRP)
My friend whop is a member asked this question on the Developers forum and so far no luck.
we have tried the following:
This is suggested by chogardjr: Plug your phone in to charge. Don't use a USB port for power. After you plug it in try the hard reboot again.
PLEASE HELP
Just for the sake of testing... Have him hold power without holding the volume. It should force reboot, not to the bootloader, so he can get a feel for how the reboot works. It can be finicky during a bootloop cause there are processes trying to run in the background. But it should do it if you hold power long enough.
Edit:
Also find out if the charge light comes on when he plus it in.
Tried and no joy.......

I had a similar problem with a bad kernel flash and could not get the device to shut all the way off - thats why the keys are blinking. I plugged it in to a charger, left it like that for a few seconds, then unplugged, held it under a bright light and waited. After a few more seconds, it shut all the way down and I was able to boot to recovery in the usual way (power+down). You may have to try combinations or maybe not. But, you won't get to recovery until the phone shuts all the way down. High light under in the 'eyes', plugging and unplugging, and holding the power button for up to 30 seconds are all known ways to do this, but as was said before a bootloop has processes trying to run, so the machine can be 'confused' and have difficulty shutting down. Hope you are successful...
Thanks. I actually got it going with one of the answers posted for me, by powering it off under a bright light.
Sounds daft, but it works.
This is a HARD Bricked phone that first started going berserk after a partial install of a SONY software update. The phone would flash the home screen and continually vibrate. I forced it down with power off. Did not know what I was doing and believe I converted a soft brick to a hard brick. The soft brick at first responded to power button and volume up button to reboot. After that point it became more and more unresponsive to complete death.
It is not recognized by PC (even in the device manager) when plugged into USB port on PC. NO LED or any lights on the phone at all! No red charging LED with charger plugged in, No Sony screen icon, no vibration with power button pushed hard for >10 seconds (with and without pushing up/down volume). The ONLY response I get is an audible windows sound coming from my PC as long as I hold the power and volume up button down.
I have left the phone off a charger for >48 hours and then placed it on the charger for 6-7 hours. Still no red LED while on the phone was on the charger. Reason for me doing this was my reading notes that Sony had a battery error issue that could only be solved by removing the battery or draining it completely. Recharging the battery was suppose to be a fix. A recent poster did this (removed the battery) which is a job and was able to get a red LED but nothing else. There was no reply.
My readings also indicated that there are a number of people with this problem (hard bricked phone) involved with download or install of their software Sony reportedly has a fix to install to correct it. I am a day late and a dollar short.
BTW, the Sony PC companion works up until I connect the phone to the PC and then an error message appears to make sure battery is charged to 80% before proceeding. Ignoring that brings up a troubleshooting screen prompting holding the power button and volume up button for 10 seconds. This is where I get an audible windows connect/disconnect sound coming from my PC that will keep sounding as long ass I hold the buttons down and stops after I remove them. Could this possibly be just a battery issue? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Firstly, you've made one major mistake when you've turned off your phone by using force. It can completely brick your phone forever.
Secondly, if you can hear any sound when connect your phone to USB, then thats mean, that your phone is still in minimal functionality. However, you can give a try to buy a new battery and see, how it goes.
It's better to buy extra battery, than change the whole phone, am I right?
And try to leave your phone without touching it for couple days I think. Maybe your battery somehow has got any fault or it has been faulted when you've force-shutted the phone.
Just give a try and that's all. You can't do anything else, except if you know and you're ready for phone disassembly. If none of my suggested methods will work, then try some other tutorials, you can search for them in XZ category's. I've forgotten how that thread is named, but you can search by some key-words, like : ultimate recovery, back to life, unbrick and etc.,
I hope my information is all correct and helpful, if not, then sorry for disturbation for nothing

My gut tells me that the battery is OK but needs to be recharged. Apparently there is something that will not allow the battery to recharge unless it is removed or drained to zero. I thought I drained it to zero but perhaps not. The other case where the battery was removed and was then able to show a red LED apparently allowed the battery to recycle. That's as far as he got.
In the mean time I'm taking your advise and just letting the phone sit until someone makes a suggestion or I get tired of looking at it.
Thank you for your time and suggestions.
Can you enter the "fastboot" mode (unlocked bootloader) /"flash mode" (locked bootloader) ?
Hold "volume down" button and connect with USB cable to the pc.
So first hold "volume down" button and then connect with USB cable to the pc while holding the "volume down" button. Let go the "volume down" when a green led on your phone appears.
You can still enter the "flash mode" if the green led appears.
Hold "volume up" button and connect with USB cable to the pc.
So first hold "volume up" button and then connect with USB cable to the pc while holding the "volume up" button. Let go the "volume up" when a blue led on your phone appears.
If the blue led appears on your phone you can still enter the "fastboot mode".
There is still hope if the green/blue leds appear on your phone (meaning you can still enter "flash mode" / "fastboot mode".
. But the following question need to be answered:
Has your phone an unlocked bootloader?

It is HARD Bricked. Unresponsive to all of the above w/o any LED response.
Has your phone an unlocked bootloader?
The phone was purchased from Sony and was factory unlocked. It was running fine until the new update from Sony was installed. I believe the update was related to the OS which is 4.4.4.
Thank you.

Hey there,
So today I was using my Xperia Z aaaand bam, phone "died".
Battery was at that time 70%, phone was a little bit hot, but in scale of 1 to 10 it was like 6. I had not problems previously with it (besides broken screen that got replaced 3 weeks ago). I was playing a game then suddenly it got closed and my screen got shifted. Like Animation of horizontal menu stucked while going to vertical. I pressed power button many times, I've keept holding it for a short time, long time... nothing. Phone did not respond at all. After 10 minutes it went black. No idea if it went "sleep" or so since power button do not work again.
I tried to reset it with Power + Volume down, Power + Volume up and again, nothing.
I've tried factory reset with Sony Companion but no luck either. Phone is NOT detected by that program.
However, when I plug the phone to PC I hear sound that some device has been found. Phone is presented now as QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager. I've heard that not a good sign...
When I plug it to PC or Charger nothing happens so I have no idea if phone is getting charged or not.
What even more confusing, when I press power button - nothing, phone is COLD. But when I press Power + Volume down after a while it starts to get warm, after a long time of repeating this really warm.
Any ideas what could I do?
Thanks!

You phone has locked or unlocked bootloader? If unlocked, give a try to enter Fastboot mode and flash any custom ROM

Can you phone enter flashmode ? Does any LED indicator shows up when holding Volume +/- whilst connecting cable in PC (USB)?
I was in the middle of installing drivers for my device and was getting from ADB type errors using the supertool.
I didn't get far, and after getting the error i unplugged and turned off my screen and now it won't turn back on.
When i plug it into my computer it won't detect the device.
I had it for less than 30 minutes! Any advice here?
:sadly i've rooted and flashed many a phone, not sure what i did wrong here:
Hold vol down and power until it vibrates, then let go of power and hold vol down till fastboot. If you can't get to that, you're probably pretty bricked.
Note, there does not appear to be a vibrate motor in the Fire7. So no vibrate feedback.
Dear all,
I was on beyond 5.3 with twrp 3.3.1.7 and I wanted to update everything. Magisk, root etc was working fine.
I downloaded the patched twrp file from the beyond telegram chat and flashed it as image into the recovery partition.
The installation was finished in 2 seconds, but stupid me chose to power off instead of rebooting the recovery.
So I tried to enter recovery using the button combo but nothing happened and I was stuck with the samsung logo.
The current status is that my phone only shows the samsung logo.
Holding the power button for a minute doesn't do anything.
Pressing the button combo for recovery mode doesn't do anything.
Pressing the button combo for dl mode makes the phone reboot. It vibrates for a sec, then the samsung logo shows again.
If I keep pressing all 3 buttons the phone keeps on rebooting and vibrating each time, but dl mode never appears. If I let go of the power button the logo stays and again, nothing happens.
So basically I can't enter dl mode nor reboot.
Should I let it run dry and try again or just throw out of the window immediately? :crying:
I let the battery drain over night. Phone was finally off.
So when I plug it in, the Samsung Logo appears and doesn't change. It just stays like that forever until the battery drains.
Pressing the power button doesn't do anything, no matter how long. It doesn't reboot nor does the logo disappear.
Pressing vol+, bixby and power again does nothing.
Vol-, bixby and power makes the phone reboot. The screen turns black, the phone vibrates shortly, the logo reappears. If I keep pressing the buttons the phone reboots again, and again, and again, mever reaching download mode.
If I let go of the power button and keep pressing vol- and bixby the phone stays black and won't even show the logo. Nothing happens. If I let go of either of the two buttons the logo appears again.
It won't boot, won't go into recovery or go into dl mode.
I'm doing all this while it's plugged into the usb port of my pc, and it doesn't get recognized. Samsung 300k tool doesn't recognize it either.
Now I know the meaning of "bricked" lmao.
Does anyone know how to possibly fix this?
Pressing only the power button for a minute literally does nothing. Like hell, how is that even possible?
You can try this to go to download mode:
Vol down + bixby + usb cable connect to PC
It's advisable to charge battery first before flashing firmware.

I tried that for like a thousand times already but now it chose to magically work somehow.
I think I peed myself a little when that ugly turquoise screen appeared and I screamed from sheer happyness.
THANK you!!!
The problem that doesn't stop giving lmao.
Got into DL mode, got odin to start, but after like 10 seconds my phone dies and odin fails.
Now I cant get into DL mode, but rather only the "an error occurred while updating the device software. use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software."
Could it be the battery that simply dies?

Yes most probably a discharged battery. Hopefully you can go to DL mode again after charging your phone.
hello,
I've and S10e and because an important app to me I need to go back to android 9 where it works.
I've read a lot info about downgrade, but no one says ROOT/UNBRICK.
Can someone inform if there is a way of downgrade without ROOT (maintaining the warranty).
thanks in advance
P.S.: Maybe too naive question, sorry for that
