I got a problem, the installation of cm11 failed and now when I start my phone it freezes on the Sony logo. When I do a hard reset with the little button behind the backcover, my phone turns off (with no vibrations) and it restarts itself automatically and freezes again at the Sony logo.. Now I can't recover my phone.. Someone that can help me?

Try holding it longer until it vibrates and then flash stock firmware through flashtool.

That's the problem it doesn't vibrate, I press the button, it restart and freeze again. When I am holding the button, it restarts, shut off, restart, shut off, restart, shut off,...
Are you sure you're pressing it hard enough and holding it for at least 10 seconds? Maybe your OFF button is damaged. What kind of object are you using to press it?
Yes I'm pressing it hard enough and I use the point of a pen
But it's alright, I had to keep pressing it with the VOL- pressed and recovered it with SUS.
Thanks
I am glad you got it sorted out

Hi Guys,
I was on 1.434 and rooted my device with the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v29.
everything worked like charm.
rebooted twice and checked that SU was there.
the next step was CWM for locked bootloaders.
downloaded the newest package lockeddualrecovery1.7.installer and followed the on screen instructions.
After finishing my device rebooted.
After the reboot I have purple/pink LED on and SONY logo on the screen. phone vibrates for half a sec every 10-15 seconds.
none of power / power +vol up / power + vol down combo works.
Can;t even shutdown the device.
The phone is in that state for 15 minutes already and doesnt seem to get any better.
Any ideas?

Well you my friend have a soft brick, Restore with flashtool and you will be up and running in 30mins max
edit: also if your BL is locked you will get this everytime you wipe cache when installing new rom,
When you flashed Dual recovery something went a little bit wrong
Maddhouse, thanks for your answer.
flashtool doesnt recognize the device.
I was able to reset it by holding vol up + power
after the reset it gets to the sony screen and vibrates.

You need to go into flash tool and get a FTF ready to flash then when phone shuts down to reboot plug it in as FLASHMODE,
Hi, wondering if you guys could help me.
My HTC One is stuck on bootloop. I tried to install a GPE rom with S-ON and now it get's to the first screen of the setup and restarts itself. The problem is the volume keys are defunt therefore I can't get into recovery to flash another rom.
Is there anyway I can force the phone to boot to recovery or to hboot ? I tried to «adb reboot recovery» on boot but with no luck.
Really appriciate any help.
Put it under a light and try to longpress Power and vol-.
HI Guich, thanks for the reply.
I did try what you suggested: shined the flash from another cellphone on the One, at the top where the sensors are, and long pressed power+volume-. If I hold the buttons the phone will just restart endlessly and if I let go of the power button and hold the (defunt) volume- the phone will try to boot as standard.
What would the light do to the phone ? Is it supposed to trigger some of the sensors ?
Thanks!

His intention was to re-verify whether you were pressing the volume down key and not the volume up key. There are no hidden sensors im aware of. if nobody else can give u a solution, the only choice wud b a motherboard replacement frm HTC itself

Umh, if you longpress power and vol- it will boot?
Strange.
If you longpress under the light, theoritecally, it have to boot into the bootloader...
raghav kapur that's what I trying to avoid
Guich it boots because the volume button is broken.
I think my only chance is to, some how, force the phone to get into recovery or hboot whilst booting I just don't know how I could do that without the volume buttons.
Just another bit of information.
When I've got the phone connected to the pc, Windows tries to install an MTP device but never gets to finalize the installion because the phone reboots. If I leave the battery flat and then plug it in, with the charging animation on the phone, Windows tries to install an 'unkown device'.

Ah, sorry, my mistake.
If you've a broken vol- you don't have a lot of chance...
It's an unknown device because it don't boot.
Hi, after updating my firmware with the Sony Update program, my power button doesn't work. It still turns the screen off when I press it, but holding it down no longer gives me the usual menu letting me turn off my phone
Is there a way to reboot in the OS itself?
Thanks

I assume it is a software problem. Have you tried reinstalling the OS?
press "power +reduce volume "
So the thing is, I decided to buy this phone from another person a few days ago while it was still working but it had this one problem where the owner told me about how the phone can't be shutdown unless the battery runs out of power. Any time you shut it down, it simply reboots instead. I thought it was most likely a problem I could fix after flashing, so I decided to buy it.
Using Flashtool I was able to see that if timed pressing the buttons and plugging it into my computer right before the reboot started, I could boot into flashmode. This phone came in the 4.4 KK firmware and the 10.5.1.A.0.292 Generic NCB build, so I flashed an older kernel and rooted it using Towelroot before reflashing the 10.5.1.A.0.292 Generic NCB kernal. After rooting (and testing if root apps can shut it down which didn't work either), with a locked bootloader I installed the XZDualRecovery using the method here because I was finding it so hard to unlock the bootloader and Flashtool wouldn't do it either. It automatically booted into TWRP recovery menu but when I tried to flash a ROM (existenz Ultimate 3.5 to be precise), it simply made the screen go black for a second and took me back to the recovery menu. So figuring it was a bad download, I downloaded a smaller ROM but when I rebooted I accidentally went into PhilZ Touch menu instead. Deciding to do the usual wipe before flashing, here's where I messed up like an idiot. I saw an option along the lines of "Wipe CLEAN for flashing ROM" or something and trusted it so much despite it saying it's gonna wipe the system partition clean as well (I still don't know why I accepted even when warned of that).
So basically now I have a system that boots the SONY splashscreen and then goes black with the back light still on unless the battery runs out. I can't shut it down no matter how long I hold the power button and if I restart, it boots back to the same thing. I have no recovery menu now thanks to my genius idea of wiping the system, and the only thing I can enter is flashmode. So when I try to flash an FTF firmware (I tried every firmware I could get) back into the phone with Flashtool, it would simply say "preparing for flashing" for about a minute before it says "device disconnected" because the phone decides to exit flash mode and boot normally. I have a locked bootloader (with bootloader unlocking allowed), so I can't flash recovery menus. When I try booting by holding the VolumeUp key and plugging it in, it enters flash mode only with the red LED on and I still get the same results on Flashtool.
Was wondering if there were any ways around this that I might have missed before deciding to open the phone and change the hardware? And if it comes to that, what would I need to change (have always been a software guy when it comes to phones)? Any tips and advice would be appreciated.
TLDR: Have a bricked c6603 from wiping the system, that can't shutdown and keeps rebooting and refuses to be flashed.
If you have time before the phone reboots, hold Volume UP and the power key for 15 seconds. The phone will vibrate once at 10 seconds. Keep holding the keys until you feel 3 vibrations. This will hard power down the phone.

^I've tried this and it simply boots back up again.
Hmm. That should definitely shut the device down, not restart it.
Sounds like there could possibly be an issue with your power button. I've heard of issues with the power button after water damage. Have you checked the water ingress indicators under the flaps? If any are red, it points to earlier damage from water.

Seems like you're right, I just checked it and it indeed has a faded red color on it. Do you think if I take the phone apart it the power button could be fixed or should I swap something else inside this from another Xperia?

I experienced this problem
Pls hold down volume When u connect your phone to pc via flashtool,
It will connect in flash mode
After that , just flash 0.230 kernel via flash mode ( kernel not rom )
Then disconnect your phone
Turn it off ( hold power button and volume up till it vibrates 3 times )
Then before it turn on again , hold down the volume down and connect it to pc via usb and this time flash 0.283 Rom ( not kernel )
This worked for me
Guys I need your help. I powered down my S10 and when I turned it back on it is stuck on a boot loop. I get all the way to the lock screen until it restarts and boot up again. I've tried holding down the volume down and power button but it won't work.
Are there other button combos I can try out?
I am S.O.L. right now and I'd appreciate the help!
thx

My apologies if you know this, but I didn't see you mention the Bixby key when trying to get to the recovery menu.

Maybe it was a setting you changed, or an app. Any important change you made before this? You can try booting in safe mode (Hold the power on key until the Samsung logo appears, when Samsung logo appears, release the power key and hold the Vol Down button until it finishes restarting.
To enter recovery mode, you have to boot the phone holding together the power key and the vol UP button.
This happened to me a few weeks ago. It rebooted at least 20 times but it eventually fixed itself. (Had to do a force restart on it a few times as well.) Are you able to try and launch in safe mode?
