I have been trying to root my phone and now my Fastboot screens black. No longer shows the options to boot into recovery, power off and etc with the volume button toggles and power button as select. How do I get that option back? Or is there another way to boot into recovery? Thanks.
I am having the same issue, it seems.
Rooted my phone when I got it a year ago, but messed up with the DRM-keys.
Was running some Lollipop stock-ROM until recently, but decided it was time to update.
Flashed the stock 6.0.1 ROM and, from what I can tell, also successfully flashed TWRP 3.0.2. But I've not been able to get into recovery (tried "fastboot boot recovery.img" but I get a completely black screen at that point, although "backlit").
Fastboot has never shown anything (the LED just turned blue, but the screen is completely black, but not "backlight").
Didn't mean to hijack the thread, but it seems we have the same problem.
PS. The phone boots fine, and works as it should.
Wait shouldn't the fastboot screen always be black? I have never unlocked the bootloader,but my fastboot screen always showed the blue LED and a black screen

My phone is completely unrooted, I just did a quick weak sauce root back on 4.4 which was patched with 5.0 I Uninstalled weaksauce2 and my phone has been unrooted and locked ever since. Suddenly I got a restart message in the middle of using my phone and my phone started looping yesterday.
When I try to enter the bootloader I can't do anything. The second I try to scroll down it splashes the HTC logo and then restarts.
Turning off the phone and turning it back on and attempting to enter bootloader doesn't fix anything, I can't access recovery. The closest I can come to operating the bootloader is mashing the power button to select fastboot, which just causes the screen to go black instead of splash the HTC logo before looping again.
Is there any way to fix this (or at least get the data off of it) or is my phone officially hard bricked?
Bump.

If your bootloader is unstable there not much you can do. Are you able to post the output of "fastboot getvar all"? Does "fastboot oem rebootRUU" brings you in RUU mode?
Hi All,
I've been running the same ROM on my G4 for the past few months with no issues. 20(i?) M bootloader on a debloated ROM...I don't even remember which ROM I had stuck with, but it was based off stock...NOT CM/AOSP/AOKP. That being said, it crashed on me earlier today(went black, thought it was a locked screen, but it wouldn't wake with double-tap or power button) and I can't get it to boot. It will go to the Logo screen with the Bootloader unlocked message, but I can't get past that. I can get it into the factory data reset menu to attempt to boot into TWRP, but after selecting yes the second time, it will pause on that screen like normal, then go black...I can't even get the TWRP splash screen. I can't get it to boot into download mode either. When it goes black it's unresponsive. I have to pull the battery to do any reboots. Any ideas on how to bring my phone back to life?
Hi guys,
I was wondering what if anything I can do to unbrick the phone. Currently when turning the phone on, the notification led flashes green once, the zuk logo flashes briefly on the screen and then it powers off.
Connecting to pc with volume buttons down in any combination does the same thing. The phone screen stays black and a solid blue notification led comes up with no change.
QFIL cannot detect the phone, neither can adb or fastboot.
The bricking happened while attempting to install a custom rom. I had unlocked bootloader and accessed root on the stock system, and wanted to try out a different rom.
Thanks in advance, I just got the phone yesterday and I'm really hoping it's not permanently bricked.
Hi bobtheball,
You should be able to select recovery mode at he beginning of the boot (push volume down when you have the very first menu, and then select recovery).
I assume you've installed TWRP to flash the rom, so once you're on TWRP, you can push a new rom and try to flash again.
What ROM did you try to install?

Hi, what my original message meant to say is that I've tried every recommended procedure that I've seen. Pushing volume down while booting does nothing. The screen does not turn on and all I get is a blue notification led. Because of this I can't access the bootloader menu to boot into recovery.

Hi, your phone act as if it had not enough battery to even present the menu. Try charging the phone for half hour before trying vol-down+power button combination.
As the title says, I cannot access bootloader and recovery mode. This happened after my device was accidentally removed while flashing stock rom :crying:
Is my device hardbricked now? My device is stucked on mi logo when holding the power button. Holding power button + volume down however gives me a black screen (the screen is turned on though). Please help. I was looking for a solution for hours already but I only found solutions that would require you to either boot into recovery or access bootloader.

I'd suggest to connect phone when it is in supposed "fastboot mode" (though with black screen) to PC and type "fastboot devices" in platform-tools folder CMD. If phone is recognized, you'll be able (as obviously you have unlocked phone) to flash stock ROM or boot into TWRP to flash custom ROM, - black screen can happen with corrupt /splash partition, while bootloader may be still working.
Got this phone with black screen and stuck on logo issue.
When I turn it on it shows the first startup SAMSUNG M31S powered by android logo.
And the problem is that it stays like that the whole time. The letters darken a bit when its close to the final boot up of the system which is normal but it should show SAMSUNG animation not this screen whole time.
The screen stays frozen like that. When I press the power button the screen turns off and it doesn't come back when I press the power button again. I have to force restart it by power + vol down or just turning it off the normal way by touching turn off on the screen but of course the screen is always black until I power it on again from powered off state. When its plugged into the charger(powered off) it shows that its charging just fine.
The touch works. I hear things when I plug it in. I turned on talkback and when I touch a part of the screen it tells me what's happening but the screen is black the whole time.
Download mode works. KG state is Prenormal I have no idea why, its on stock rom. I flashed correct stock didn't help
Recovery also works. I noticed that when I clear cache or wipe data while it does wipe just fine it also shows this message before the wipe "pdp no scenario"
In the recovery logs I noticed this error as well unable to set property ro.boot time.init.mount.cache so that might be a clue.
Can someone help me with this one? Its on android 11. I can't flash combination file because of the error "please get approval to use factory binary(PIT) "and when I give it PIT file it says the same but at the end its (bootloader) instead ( tried patched odin same thing unless there exist a way to bypass that security.
Thanks!
EDIT2:Added one more image(recovery logs error message)
I was able to unlock it even though its black screen. Will OEM unlock allow me to flash factory binary?
EDIT: I checked OEM option and long pressed in download mode. The phone's screen is now frozen on the "this device has unlocked bootloader...." screen. It boots up just fine but it stays like that until I press the lock screen and it doesn't come up again..
EDIT2: I tried combination firmware it didn't want to flash same please get approval message...
EDIT3: I was able to install twrp. What now? I can see some green color does this indicate display damage? I also noticed this greenish tint on the stock recovery too but in download mode and at the first startup logo no green is present. Why would the display work on recovery and download mode and bootloader is unlocked on this device screen but not work past that????

I've uploaded a YouTube video. I replaced logo.jpg from param.bin with my yellow image to test the colors and as you can see it shows some green, same green as in twrp so ye its the display most likely.
EDIT:
After flashing the PrishKernel the screen is stuck but after sleep I can wake up the screen and at the bottom where the navigation buttons are there is some noise type of image the rest of the screen is black. And its responsive if I press power button the bottom part turns on and off.
Brother you solved the problem??
