Hi,
I've flashed multiple times before without an issue until today.
First, here's my background information:
Samsung Captivate (ATT)
Was running Continuum 5.4.1 but it felt laggy so I attempted to flash MIUI 1.5.13.
Here's what I did:
I wiped my phone using the Odin One click tool, then flashed CM7's kernel and then performed formats of the cache, system, and data, then installed MIUI RC2. After this step the phone should have restarted, then I planned to shut it down and reboot into recovery and flash 1.5.13 onto it.
My problem(s):
-Boot into recovery/download mode using key combinations is not working.
-The ADB console reports device not found when I try to run adb shell.
-The phone is undetected in Droidexplorer.
-When I attempt to download an app to boot to recovery with the phone says there is no space even though nothing has been installed other then MIUI.
What I would like to do:
Get back to stock with download/recovery modes working.
On a side note: MIUI works, but in a very limited way. I can navigate through it, but it won't allow the installation of applications due to there not being room on the phone (as said before).
Thanks!
Update - my phone was being identified as a Nexus S, so without those drivers my phone could not be debugged via USB. I now have the drivers and can perform ADB commands, however rebooting into recovery and into download mode both result in the phone restarting without going to the download or recovery mode.
Try using ODIN and repartitioning. I have good videos on standard ODIN and Heimdall on YouTube just search them. If you can not get out of this contact me, I have been able to partition debrick in the past and it's actually considered by me far more annoying than standard bootloader JTAG in certain situations. Let's hope yours is easier to bail out of!
First of all thanks for the reply and direction.
Secondly:
After working on this all last night I was able to get the phone recognized by Odin and my computer, now I am stuck at one of two screens depending on what I do.
If the phone is powered off then plugged in, the battery charging screen appears but there is no animation and after unplugging it the battery charging image remains.
If I power the phone on it hangs on the Samsung boot screen.
Repartitioning does sound like the proper direction for me to take, but, when I use Odin it freezes while setting up the connection to the phone.
when the phone is powered off try holding both vol keys and plugging in the cable. That could possibly get you to download mode. If not try vol down/pwr at the same time since you are now on GB bootloaders the keys are a bit different. Let me know what happens and good luck
maybe you should try to build a jig and use it to get into the download mode first. or you can buy it on ebay, just search for "micro usb jig".
I've tried every volume and power combination possible to no avail, I can't get into download mode. I've given in and am exchanging my phone. Thanks for the help anyway guys!
Hi ,
I am new on this forum so sorry moderators if i have posted this where i shouldn't have . I recently got a ZTE NUBIA Z9 Mini and i wanted to root it so tried different methords and somehow i managed to soft brick it or as they say its in a bootloop. Whenever i try to boot the phone with volume up button + power button just the home screen nubia logo appears and it stays there. I am absolutely clueless what to do ... followed some youtube videos to flash new rom using fastboot but apparently it needs back up files which i don't have .
Someone please help me
Thanks !
Possible Fix?
Hey have you tried to boot to recovery? it can depend where you brought it from. I got mine directly from the nubia store on thier website and it came rooted with a recovery system already in place, i had the same issue as you I booted into recovery power+vol down downloaded the rom again or most up to date rom from the website or in my case needroms website . Then i just installed the rom from update on the sd card View attachment 3357925 then it took about 3-5 mins to install and i rebooted it. View attachment 3357928 After this it should be as normal like flashing any rom onto any android device then wolla done even all my apps and data remained safe because it was only a software update flashed over.

I have the same problem.
If I press volume - and power device doesnt go to recovery, it just show Nubia logo on the screen for a while, then screen is black, That is all. If I plugg it into PC, computer can see one part of partiition with -Image- directory and a few unreadable partitions..
Do you know what to do, please????

Don't do nothing I had the same bug here with the logo Nubia again and again.
Just let the phone discharging itself (as you can't remove the battery).It will take around 24 hours.
Put an official rom on your sd card.
When the battery is out (try to power and if nothing happens it's good) just plug your phone to charge (not on pc) and try to go to the recovery.It should works.
Then load the official rom and after you will restore your backup (if you have one).

I tried this already, just without sd card. Problem is, that I cannot go to recovery. If I press volume - and power I'll get just on logo screen, nothing else...
If I plug completely discharged phone on charger and press nothing, then just charging procentage appear for a while and then is dead again.
you can use one-click-tool.
first you switch off your.....try two or three times....or try again and again ....if you switch off your fone....then try to switch on in to fastboot....i have downloaded a fast boot rom..........1.16 version........extract the downloaded folder then first you click on ....z9 mini app in this folder.....and connect your mobile to pc......its start in automaticly.......wait for restart.......ohla....your mobile runs....https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B14zmeE7OLybaW5KWS1rME1Fd0U/view?usp=sharing
Problem solved!!!
This helped:
- Use a fast microSD card and copy on the root folder the original Nubia ROM (you can download it on the first page of this thread)
- Insert this microSD card into the phone
- Turn on your phone and let the battery completely discharge
- When the phone is turned off, press and hold Volume - than connect your AC adapter (USB cable connected to PC does not work), en Should start in bootloader menu
- If you can successfully start the bootloader menu, run the phone into recovery mode and than install the rom from external sd card
At the moment there is not any tool or bin format image for this phone

where is the rom?
Hi @ all.
I have managed this problem using volume up and power button. After first bootscreen hold the on button and wait until the second boot screen turn of. Release all keys!
Thats all.
The smartphone is off and you can return to recovery.

Thanks a million, it saved my phone
Hello everyone!
I had the bootloop problem and I could solve it following your recommendations. My problem is that the original ROM installation process was suddenly stopped (I don't know exactly why) and now I have no access to the OS. Everytime I reboot it, the system goes to the bootloader showing this message:
Bootloader Menu
You entered this screen because:
No kernel (boot partition is bad)
Now you are in fastboot mode
The phone is fused
Then I have access to TWRP or to the original Nubia recovery, but I can't install a new ROM. I can restore backups but when I restart the system it goes to the bootloader menu again. Any solution for this issue?
Thank you in advance!

Hi again!
I finally could flash the official ROM via TWRP. Initially I was trying to flash this ROM from the SD card, but the installation didn't work neither with TWRP nor with Nubia recovery. Then I copied the ROM to the internal storage and flashed it with TWRP with no more issues. Hope this information is useful for other members.
Thank you!

Hi once again, dudes!
As I told you this morning, I finally managed to fix my problem with the no-kernel message. However, after the reboot, I have lost wifi and bluetooth connections. When I turn on the wifi it doesn't even search for available networks. I have tried with official ROMs 1.16 and 1.19 and with a custom multilanguage ROM, doing factory reset (sometimes even system formats) before each ROM installation. Everything is working properly but I can't turn on the wifi and bluetooth.
Any idea or solution? Thank you very much!
Solution to WiFi and Bluetooth problems
Just to let you know that I finally managed to solve my problem with WiFi and Bluetooth. I got a backup of the 'persist' partition from a colleague's Z9 mini that worked perfectly and restored it in my device via TWRP.
RAW format image caputure
hi guys,
Since Nubia Z9 Mini runs on Android 5.0 (Lollipop version) with latest Camera 2 APIs with Manual control over camera, would like to know if the default Camera App supports Image capturing in RAW format.
Also can we use third party application like Camera FV-5 which supports RAW format image capturing feature in Nubia Z9 Mini,
Since you guys are users of Nubia Z9 Mini, pls. confirm this for me..
Thanks in advance..

And how do you let the phone discharging itsel if the initial screen with nubia logo dissappears after a few seconds???
It won't discharge itself because it switchs off every time.
Anyone can tell me what to do?
Thank you.
Problem with Nubia Z9 mini
I've had this phone for 1 month and installed this ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/rom-nubia-z9-mini-nx511j-rom-twrp-t3142204
Phone was working perfectly fine this morning but I noticed it had only about 30% battery left so I tried to charge it and it wouldn't charge? Tried computer cable, original Nubia cable and even others and nothing charged the phone. So decided to restart the phone to see if this fixed it and now the phone is just stuck on Nubia home screen . Can't restart or turn off or anything.... If i press volume down and power button it makes the screen print/camera sound and that's all i can do.
I'm not the most technical with all the mobile software stuff ect but can manage if guided
Also the phone is becoming really hot
Would greatly appreciate some help with this
thanks
I have a different problem here . I had stock ROM (India) when I purchased. Very laggy. I rooted, loaded TWRP, put MIUI-6, it was better, all working, but a little laggy too. Later put [email protected] The ROM is good (faster, very clean and clear voice, faster wifi etc...) but later found data not working. I read somewhere that the ROM may not be suitable for Indian version. When I want to load back the backup of MIUI-6, I am unable to boot in recovery mode. Only Nubia logo appears with all combination of switches. I am able to enter into recovery menu (Vol- and power). When I select "boot into recovery mode", only Nubia logo appears. I saw the directories in the PC, there is no TWRP directory in the internal storage. I tried to once again load TWRP, in the PC I get everything o.k, but in the phone, it strucks at recovery screen, and hangs. I have to press vol- and power to reboot again. It reboots o.k. Now, how do I get into TWRP recovery? Is there anyway to make data working with the present ROM? I tried all, like, draining the battery ...... etc.... not helping. Some information in this regard will be of great help.
I have tried everything possible as below.
As the above case, I am also using Indian version of Z9 Mini. I have flashed TWRP and then flashed MIUI6 & 7 and after that I came back to original rom through backup. Then after that, once again I came to MIUI7, after that when I tried to came to original rom, I can't. So I have downloaded last ROM from [email protected] , that is 3.61 . I that, my sim cards were not detecting. After that, when I tried to open TWRP , I can't. Just Nubia logo screen. After that I tried One Click Root Tool to flash TWRP. At that time , when my phone gone for rebooting , it's gone. Now whenever I tried to boot the phone or boot into bootloader , only that nubia logo screen appears. When I tried to flash through fastboot , device is not detecting. Why so ? . No partitions are seen on computer . I have tried all above steps , but no help . When I tried that fastboot flashable ROM by vijay2 , phone reboots to bootloader and in computer, it flashes everything. But after reboot , it is as same as before . What to do ? . If it is the case of missing driver , then please give me a link for it.
Having gotten a spare Xperia SP, I decided to venture into the realm of flashing custom ROMs. This was the first time I did anything of this sort with an Android device. So, here is what I did to it today:
At first, I successfully rooted, installed recovery and flashed CM12. After fiddling with it for about an hour and not finding anything super exciting, I decided to try out other ROMs. I did a facotry reset, wiped the data and cache, and was about to flash CM11 (I forgot that it required an unlocked bootloader, which I don't have, and the recovery console told me so). Maybe at this point I should have just reflashed CM12, but I chose (not even sure why at this point) to exit recovery instead. After this, the phone keeps getting stuck on the Sony logo (although on the second attempt to turn it on, it did display a screen showing that wrench icon, indicating some sort of configuration activity going on, but never moved past that either). I tried flashing two different stock ftf roms with flashtool, both fail with this error: Processing of system.sin finished with errors. One of them will cause the phone to shut off after about a minute on the logo instead of remaining stuck on it indefinitely.
Maybe I should mention that this phone did not exactly work flawlessly for some time, even before I started experimenting with it. Here are the main things that I can remember it doing:
-Lags on even the basic functions, apps often crashing, despite doing a very recent hard reset.
-Battery drains very fast sometimes (like going from 55% to 0 in about 2 hours with almost no usage).
-A few months ago, it would periodically freeze and reboot itself, but that problem seemed to disappear with time.
Did I do something stupid to that phone, or are there internal/hardware problems that have manifested themselves in this way? I won't be horribly upset if I killed it (after all, knowing that something of this sort may happen was exactly the reason why I was not doing all this on my main phone), but I certainly would like to get it back up and running.
Download Flashtool v0.9.18.6 from official site.
Option 1: Flash stock.
or,
Option 2: Flash tangerine-7.1.elf via 'fastboot mode' to directly get TWRP, then flash any ROM you want.

Thank you for your reply. I have a few questions:
I downloaded the flashtool version that you mentioned (from the official site), but avast detected malware in it. Should version 9.19.8, the one I tried yesterday, work fine?
What is exactly considered "stock rom"? Is it exclusively the version your phone came with, or is it firmware of any version/carrier branding, as longs as it is made for your phone model by the manufacuter?
It looks like my phone actually won't stay in flash mode. I select fastboot mode in flashtool, a window pops up asking me to plug in the phone. I press the volume down button and plug it in, the LED glows bright green, but nothing happens in flashtool. After a few seconds, the LED goes red and the Sony logo appears on the phones screen (as if it was going to turn on), and my computer makes a sound as if the phone was ejected. The phone shuts off a minute later, goes into flash mode again, and the cycle repeats.
UPDATE
Nevermind everything I wrote before, I was able to successfully re-flash stock. Turns out I did in fact have some crappy version of flashtool that didn't work, and I found anolder version without malware.
Strangely, the infected flashtool version was the one I dowloaded from the official site... Something is fishy here.
Anyways, thanks a bunch for your help!

Use flashtool 0.9.19.8 because that is what everyone is recommending now, Stock rom defines as what it originally comes from your phone which is manufactured by sony. To get into fastboot mode turn off your phone by taking off the cover off your xperia sp and use a pin or pen to press into a small dot and you will get 3 vibrations.
This guide is not written by me, so give credit to chris10286
Step 1. Download a kernel with twrp embedded im sure I used dooms kernel as far as I remember. There are many others just do a simple google of xperia sp kernel with recovery.
Step 2 . take phone case off the back hold button in on lower bottom for 10 seconds you will get 3 vibrations . good leave it at that.
Step 4 . open flashtool let it load completely. Now plug USB into your phone also have it into your PC ! Whilst plugging in hold down volume button to enter flashmode your phone should be green . hold up for fast boot mode which is blue either too let's you flash a kernel but fast boot mode requires "elf" kernel.
Step 5. Locate kernel install and then boot phone up whilst press the volume up button as its booting recovery mode will be accessed now flash rom of your choice or use Sony PC suite to go back to stock. Make sure you have stock kernel and bootloader locked or else it won't let you..
Use this thread to help you since i had the similar problem which involved my phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=63660062#post63660062
If none of my methods work please ask zenith to help you or ask anyone in the xperia sp forum to help you since im not a developer but ran into a similar problem to yours.
I hope this helps you out in someway as it did me good luck.
Thanks Nandan
Thank you, I very much appreciate that you took the time to write this long post to help me out. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I found a solution to my problem - by using flashtool 9.18.6 (the one that wasn't working was actually newer).
Hello,
my Redmi 4x won't boot. I tried to find some solution for this issue, but I can't find it anywhere, so I created this new thread to ask you for your help.
Last night I was out in the city and my phone died because of low battery, so after I came home I just wanted to charge it as usual. Battery logo showed up and it was behaving as always, but when I tried to turn it on it couldn't boot again.
After pressing the power button the splash screen flashes for a brief moment and then it just turn off again. This happens all the time from the moment my phone died. I'm not sure what went wrong here. I can't get it to recovery mode either. So I wanted to do a fresh start and flash it again with new ROM here (Ressurection Remix 6 is what I have now)
I'm able to get it on fastboot mode, but once I try to flash it with MiFlash I get error message like "error:FAILED (remote: Critical partition flashing is not allowed)"
So I looked up for a solution and I found that I need to get it in EDL mode with adb.exe
I tried this solution but with no luck. Phone is restarting but it won't turn on again and the fastboot mode is lost.
I'm not really sure if I have right drivers for it. Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E is what I have now. I can't also change the usb debugging mode obviously, so I'm also trying to find some solution for this issue either (is there any chance how to turn it on with adb.exe?)
I think it's softbricked but i'm not really sure.
Thank you for your help

Hi, most likely your battery is faulty. Current draw during Android kernel boot up phase is above 1A whereas only around 0.2A for a working OS, that's why neither OS nor recovery can start when the battery develops high ESR (internal resistance). Do the following test:
fully recharge the battery
do not disconnect the charger
turn it on
Your Android may now actually work again but you must use a short quality cable connected to a 2A+ charger, which will support the battery at boot time - and you can disconnect it later.

Thank you, but the battery wasn't the main issue, because once I was able to flash it through EDL mode to the latest stable official ROM, the battery was on 93% already.
Now I'm stuck with MI logo and powered by android with 3 blinking dots above. I watched somewhere, that it could last for 7 minutes, but for me even the 15 minutes is not enough, so I guess i'm in bootloop.
For some reason my bootloader is locked again, even though I already made the unlocking process earlier before I flashed to Resurection remix 6. My phone doesn't even appear in device manager. I can't even use it as a storage, so I could try to flash it to custom ROM.
I'm not really sure wat happened and how is it possible to brick your phone by just draining your battery to 0%
Ok, phone is alive again. It booted up right after I inersted microSD card in slot. I didn't know this was necessary...
Hey,
I know there's a fair few threads on this but I've spent the past 7 hours trying to resolve this with all ideas I've found although to no avail.
My phone was on, working as normal although randomly it is now stuck on the Miui logo no matter what I try. It also freezes on fastboot.
The phone isn't detected by the PC now anymore either, the phone is only 6 months old.
Does anyone have any other ideas what I can try?
I've tried safe mode, reboot, fastboot, connecting phone to PC, having someone call me etc, no luck.
Fastboot is not "fast boot", it is a mode to install parts of the operating system from PC.
If your bootloader is unlocked, (unlocked lock icon at the top of the screen when starting the phone) you can download MIUI (Fastboot version) from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/sweet/ and then extract the archive, and run the flash_all_except_storage.bat file from PC while the phone is in "fastboot" mode and connected to PC via USB.
If your bootloader is locked (no lock icon when starting the phone), then I'm afraid you're gonna have to reboot to recovery mode (hold power button+ volume up when restarting the phone) and select wipe data option which will erase all data and "factory reset" it. If that does not work, then MIUI is corrupted and you have no choice but to visit a Xiaomi phone service center.
You're in luck if you live in europe or china, since there are many official xiaomi stores, but if you're in america, there are currently no official xiaomi stores sadly.

My phone was on, working as normal although randomly it is now stuck on the Miui logo no matter what I try. It also freezes on fastboot.
The phone isn't detected by the PC now anymore either, the phone is only 6 months old.
Does anyone have any other ideas what I can try?
I've tried safe mode, reboot, fastboot, connecting phone to PC, having someone call me etc, no luck.

Enter recovery. (hold volume up and power) There is an option to reset data there. It will wipe the data in your phone, but should start you from scratch.
