I accidently removed my OS, and now I cannot boot into my bootloader.
I've tried charging the phone with it's OEM charger, and it stays stuck on the white battery charging screen until it dies again. I've tried doing it via my PC, and it charges, but I cannot do anything but boot onto the Motorola "Powered by Android" where it freezes, until I hold power and volume down, where it black screens, and restarts again. This happened after clearing my data and failing to flash an OS. After rebooting my phone, this happened. My bootloader is unlocked, but the phone isn't rooted. I've got a ROM that works, but adb is useless as my phone doesn't show up.
If you have twrp recovery Press & hold Power key& volumes up/down hold them all together.. Keep holding pressing about 10 sec or until you see little dim red light it's going to be left side upper speaker...once you see it don't let go of buttons for 8 seconds OK this is critical let go of the buttons & hold them again about 5 seconds,
TWRP recovery should show up.. If not repeat steps again. TWRP will show up.

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.
Edit:
I might have figured it out, while I was in that red triangle / exclamation point screen, I pressed power / volume, then when the screen turned black (phone off) I let go of power and kept holding volume, and it finally entered the bootloader and RUU is now running. Will edit the thread again if that goes through. Leaving info in case anyone runs into the same issue in the future.
Edit2:
The RUU failed when the fastboot binary crashed on step 4 @ 96%, so I switched to a USB3 port and reran and it got through 100% without a hitch, now the phone is working perfectly.

Hi, my phone is s-off, bootloader unlocked, h7_wls.
I flashed 5.05.651.2_full_firmware.zip (to install the ViperOne rom - it says to update the firmware) through fastboot, running it 2 times as recommended. Then I ran fastboot reboot and the phone was stuck in a boot loop, the white screen with the HTC logo would appear, then the screen would turn black (still on as it has the IPS blue glow) then it turns off (full black) and turns on again to repeat the loop.
I've tried holding down volume + power until the home/back flash then letting go of power and holding volume, but the phone would just reboot without going into the bootloader.
I've also tried shining the LED from my other phone onto the light sensor and holding power for 15 seconds, which turns off the phone. If I turn it back on, it returns the phone into the aforementioned boot loop.
Doing the volume + power thing, and running the RUU_M7_WL_K44_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_5.05.651.2_Radio_1.01.20.0904_2_NV_SPCS_4.38_003_release_393160_signed_2.exe file while the home/back buttons flash gets the phone into a black background with a red triangle / exclamation point but the RUU program exits with Error[170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR.
Typing adb devices while in the black screen with red triangle / exclamation point, it sees the device but says the device is offline, typing fastboot devices returns nothing.
I've tried 3 USB cables.
Not sure what to do next?
Thanks.

oh yeah this time happened to me as well
basically all your phone is doing is rebooting
you need to get it to power down somehow. I managed to force shut it down using the hold power thing and then held volume down and power to get to the boot loader
but if anyone is having difficulty another sure fire way to get the phone to shut down is to wait for the battery to die (may take a really long time)
I relocked bootloader, updated to .253, then unlocked bootloader. Right after that, I installed a rootable kernel, booted into TWRP, installed DRM restore, SuperSU 2.74, and the new Nexus launcher. It booted fine, and I set up everything to what I had before. I then decided to restart to access TWRP to reflash the Nexus launcher as it didn't show up. After the phone shut down, it began blinking red light. I tried to force shut it down, but it didn't do anything. I tried to get to fastboot and flashmode, but the blinking red light was prevalent. However, the Sony logo showed up if I mash down on volume down and power. So I doubt that my phone is dead and only accessible through QHSUSB_DLOAD. But it's pissing me off.
Any help? Thanks in advance!
Oh, and it was 40%.
Entire situation of physical input:
1) Plug in USB=Red LED
2) Power+Vol Up=Force shut down with 3 vibrations after turned on by Power+Vol Down
3) Power+Vol Down=Turns on to Sony and Xperia screen, then shuts down
4) Power=Vibrates once, turns off
I have the same issue, Could you fix it?
I've got an AT&T HTC One M7. It's non-rooted and has stock firmware. Android updates from AT&T are installed when pushed. It's all pretty routine. As of yesterday evening, this phone started rebooting and won't stop.
If I leave it alone, it vibrates (normal startup notification), goes to the green on white "htc" screen for a few seconds, then goes blank and starts over. I can get to the bootloader screen, and I've gotten it to start in safe mode as well, but it always restarts again within a few seconds.
Things I've done/found:
- Holding down the volume down button while it restarts takes me to the bootloader menu, but the buttons don't seem to work correctly when I get there, and it always restarts again within a few seconds.
- I managed to start it in safe mode a few times--I think by holding volume up and volume down at the same time--but it restarted before I could do anything.
- I removed the SIM card. Same thing.
- I let it reboot until it died. As soon as I plugged it in, it started the same thing again.
I'm starting to think it's hardware failure, like the power button is constantly making contact, even though the button feels fine to the touch. Note that I get to the bootloader just by holding the volume down button. I don't have to touch the power button. I'm not certain whether that's normal. Can anyone give me any ideas or even just verify that it seems like a hardware problem?
I'm a bit stuck with a weird case; I have a rooted Z3C(locked bootloader) which I achieved by following this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343
It's been working fine for 1,5 year, when suddenly a week ago after the battery was low and shut the phone down, it got stuck in a bootloop while it was charging (already over 40%).
Couldn't get it to boot into recovery mode(nor it was detected by flashtool), until after a few days I was able to acces TWRP, made a backup(still got that, as well of a backup from the TA partition from 1,5 year ago). And then wiped the phone with TWRP as well. After another attempt to boot (which didnt work) it was able to get into the clockworkmod recovery(it's a surprise how that got on there), and chose "restore". There was a blue light and the screen went black. And it did so for over 5 minutes which made me(and a "techie") think it had probably crashed, so we forced shut it off(power button + VOL up, vibrate 3 times).
Since then I'm pretty much stuck with the situation from earlier but instead of being in a bootloop, it is now stuck on the kernel logo "Sony xperia". I can't make it boot in any kind of mode, I can only force shut down by power button + Vol up. It When trying to boot by using power button + vol UP it doesn't do anything; when using power button + down, it directly gets stuck at kernel logo.
At all attempts to boot there is no LED apprearing, LED only goes on for about 5 seconds when plugged into laptop or charger, and last the phone is not detectable by flashtool(or xperia companion).
Currently following this thread and waiting for the battery to drain: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
But I wonder if that will do the fix...
In the meantime I'd like to know if there is anyone who might have some tips of what I can try?

Can you enter flash mode or fastboot?
nope, I can't enter either of them.. Unless there is a way to acces flashmode or fastboot mode without using the button combinations?
I've never stayed in your situation. Try turn off, wait the flashtools send the messenger with instructions to plug the phone, press vol. down button and plug in usb.
personally, i don't like end the whole battery in Sony's 2013>2015, because my fist sony, a M2A, after shutdown by low power, never turns on again... only tree reed lights - uhh, sony with jealous of xbox -, i change the battery and the bricks continued. Not healthy to sony hardware do this, i mean.
https://www.engineerthink.com/blog/2015/11/how-to-unbrick-hard-bricked-android-phone/
But if the last option, do that.
What you are discribing to do with flashtool, I already tried, it doesn't recognise the phone. I even tried "tricks" of different buttons and tempo's bu tthat doesn't help making flashtool recognise the device.
Also I was not able to make the phone completely decharge itself. This morning, after it drained the battery all night long by letting it stuck on the Sony logo, it came up with the battery empty logo when pressing power button. It is not possible for me to drain the battery even more, except if I keep pressing the power button every minute to activate the battery logo...
I tried the instructions from the link you pasted, to get it into fastboot with adb, didn't work, at the first command it already said it couldnt find the device:
C:\adb>adb reboot fastboot
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device '(null)' not found
So, when You have powered off phone, hold vol- and plug it to computer does led on red than green and off?
And fastboot when phone powered off (hold vol+ and plug usb) doesn't work too yes?
@yaroszek, no when "powered off phone, hold vol- and plug it to computer" the LED goed red for a few seconds and then goes off(no green at all), and the screen will show the Sony logo.
when trying to fastboot with "phone powered off (hold vol+ and plug usb)" exactly the same happens...
