So I was texting on my Fuze and it froze. I hard reset it and now it won't start back up. Im using the latest Mercury Energy rom. It starts up, goes to where it plays the start-up sound and says "Energy Rom 3.0" and then stops. I have the touch response installed on it and it still vibrates when u touch it, so I dont think its too bad. Please Help! Thanx

then reflash?

tryed holding the buttons and it didnt do anything.

He's advising that you hard reset. That's what I'd do, too, but if it continues to hang, flash a stock rom. You may need to go into bootloader manually if you do it over usb.

Fixed it please delete.

hard rest verizon phones
i think that verizon has ****ed the customers when i comes to hard resetting i think that they disable the option when you are try to do it with the whole volume button power button the reset thing i have gone through two phones because of this but now i found program that was leaked and it does it for me you go into that mode where you get that multiple colored screen and then once you plug you phone into your computer and then you run it and it hard resets the phone

that would be great if you can share how do you it with us, so any body have this problem can be fixed without asking too much.

[Q] VZW Moto X half-bricked? Screen off, vibrates randomly.

Hey folks,
Weird issue today with my Moto X (locked boot loader, unrooted, totally stock). Earlier today I took the phone off the charger and all was working normally. About an hour after that, I took my phone out to check stuff and the screen is off completely and the phone vibrates every so often but at uneven intervals. I have tried every hardware key combo known to man to reboot and nothing gives. I'm hoping that once the battery eventually dies on its own I will be able to reboot (?) and this is some random software issue, but no idea. Anyone have a solution? I've already emailed Moto to see what they think. I'm in Kabul right now so no VZW stores for a few thousand miles.
Appreciate any input/help!

I have had this before, I however an not so stock and assumed that was the culprit. Have you tried holding down power until reboot? It should be like 10-15 seconds.

Yea I have tried that a bunch today holding the button down for even a few minutes. Nothing but a vibration. Tried volume down + pwr and same result.

If you can get to the fastboot screen you could flash the Verizon sbf firmware , did you try plugging the charger in ?and see if you can boot it that way
Sent on my Moto X

I plugged it in to a vehicle charger (where I am right now) and nothing changed when I did the button combos. I'm going to see about fastboot later on today but not looking good at this point.

I had the same damn problem on my Droid Maxx... It just used to randomly vibrate and vibrate and vibrate with the screen off... and used to get super hot and finally stop... Then i took the phone apart and guessed the LCD connection was bad so i just removed every thing i could and put it back together! And Vola it worked!!

Heard back from Moto - just going to start the exchange process. They didn't seem to know what was up with it.

Solved the same problem here
I just had the same problem and got it working with a fast-boot followed by a factory reset. As I didn't know exactly when it was turned off, I could only be sure about when it was on (after pressing power button and having the boot animation loading). Based on that, I pressed the power button for about 6 seconds to turn it off.
Having it turned off, I followed these steps:
1) Power + 'Volume -' for 3 seconds
2) Release Power, but keep 'Volume -' pressed until Fast-Boot appears
3) Search for (navigate to) "Recovery" by using only 'Volume -'
4) Confirm 'Recovery' with 'Volume +'
5) When the android robot appears (probably with a 'no command' message), hold 'Volume +' and, after that, tap Power
6) Go to wipe/data factory reset and confirm it with Power
7) Go to 'Yes', confirm it with Power and wait. For some moments it may seem dead, but it will be doing its job
8) After it is erased, go to 'Reboot system now' and select it with Power
9) Wait until it is restored by itself
I hope this helps anyone with the same problem

@infernox51 if you are unrooted and totaly stock, and don't have a hardware issue, then following the first few steps of what @claudioeddy posted should get you to fastboot and/or recovery menus.
If you follow through, with steps 6 & 7, it will factory reset your phone, erasing all data, apps, /sdcard, etc.
The only time I've had those symptoms is when I've flashed a bad LOGO.BIN file to my phone. In which case, I do what claudioeddy posted to get my phone to fasboot menu, and then flash a known good logo.bin. But if you are stock and unrooted like you say, then i don't know what to say.
If Moto will exchange your phone, that is great.

Thanks for the Solution

Hold volume - / volume + / Power-button (all 3 buttons) simultaneously for about 10 sec. Let it reboot.

What if u try it again. Hold all 4 buttons, while the phone is connected to power for 10sec. After that release the power and volume up button. So u hold volume down all the time. See what happens.

Hello there, sorry for this resurrection but I have the same problem, black screen, green led on, but nothing more, no fastboot, no recovery, no logos, no vibration, nothing.
Is there any solution for this? I've tried power button + volumen down in many ways and nothing seems to work.
Thanks in advance!

You can only try to flash ifwi and dnx as I did but I also had no success and also Moto themselves couldn't fix the phone.
If your phone is still in warranty it will get replaced, otherwise you can throw it away.

i had this problem when my battery was deeply unloaded. i had to load it with an powersource with 1A and a factory cable. that worked for me...

Help ,, please emergency !!!!
my xt890 lcd screen and digitizer were broken so i changed them and the phone was working fine for a week, i then wanted to update to kitkat through oem update; everytime i tried it would give me error . i then read that since i unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone and installed cwm recovery i couldnt do an oem update and i had to do a factory reset in order to update through oem, so i did just that ; after the phone finished factory reset and booted i proceeded with oem update while the phone was charging, everything was going fine the file was downloading, i went to the bathroom and came back the display was black, but touch screen was working fine...through more searching i read that this could be from the update, and i should do another reset... since i couldnt see anything even recovery menu. i downloaded moborobo so i can see my screen on pc and proceeded to factory reset ... now i cant even see through moborobo and im stuck. Please help.

My One keep restarting and stuck at HTC screen

Hey guys,
So I have had my One more than a year, never root, never install any mod in it, just simple, daily use. It worked well till last night when some weird thing happened:
- At first, the Back, Home and HTC buttons keep flashing along with the screen. When I unlock my screen pass lock and go to the home screen, it showed a notification like "To restart the phone, keep pushing the power button for (x) second" with x is the count down number. After that, the phone is automatically rebooting, then the problem happen again.
- After a few times, I manage to shut it down properly then turn the phone up. As I notice, as long as I doing something with the phone such as calling somebody or checking facebook or simply sliding the home screen, thing is normal. But as I stopped using it, that weird notification pop up again
- The phone keep restarting after that, again and again. Sometime it boot successful, but when Im go to the home screen, the notification shows up and my phone restarts again. As I couldnt turn off my phone, it is drained and out of battery.
- This morning, I put the cable in and try to charge it, and My One now stuck at the first HTC logo screen then restarting and then stuck again. That looping process is drive me crazy. As I try to pull out the cable, the phone is not working (Obviously) since it is out of battery.
- As I hold down Power and Volume down, I can enter bootloader screen. I saw a "locked" banner and cannot navigate through the menu and can not press Fastboot or anything. After 2-3 seconds, the phone is shut down and keep looping.
Long story shot, can anybody tell me how to fix this. As I have a lot of pictures that havent been backed up, I really appreciate if I can keep everything without doing a factory reset. Oddly enough, I cant even do a factory reset since the bootloader is not working.
Please help.

Have you tried a factory reset?
On boot, bottom down n power will take u to fastboot.
You can do a factory reset from there.
HTC sync can save your stuff.

As I mentioned above, I can hardly do anything from that fastboot screen. Up, down and power button is not working as I cannot navigate to recovery or factory reset. Even pushing power button wont do.
When I connect the phone to PC, nothing happen. It is because the phone is out of battery i suppose?
The problem is when I start to charge the phone, it will keep looping. But if I dont, the phone is death and I cant do anything.

I honestly dont know. I suspect you have
Fast boot selected under Settings>power.
You've got to try till you can get into fastboot otherwise send it for repairs.

Because this is exactly the message we usually get when holding the power button for more then 5 sec...
and that would explain the reboot issue
looks like the "power" key is always active
definitively sounds like an hardware issue imo
and your issue is even present in bootloader what confirm that this is an hardware defect.

Thanks man. I will see if i can do.

Rog phone 2 just died...

... The screen went black and unfortunately is still black so I'm assuming the phone died.
-It's been 30 minutes now and counting
1. should I buy another one? Or
2. should I buy a different phone?
3. What are your suggestions?
EDIT: My phone is back on. I don't know what turned it off in the first place. Power button didn't work (short or long press). Fastboot mode (button combination) didn't work.
FIX: Hard (ware) Restart - Hold down Volume up, volume down, and power simultaneously for about a 15 count. Screen came back on ?
Thank you all for your feedback

Just happened to mine too. why did it do that. did your ever do that again?

It happened to mine Saturday night, I pressed the UP + POWER button and came back on, probably a sw glitch, I had put AUTO UPDATE on, I turned it off.

Thanks 4 the heads up save me from having to send it off to get it fixed.

same thing just happened to my phone, holding both up and down plus power button for 15 seconds got it back up, what caused this?
Phone didn't even want to charge when it was off. or connect to pc

vol up + vol down + power button is the way to exit EDL mode. I think it will help you.

Try disable the pocket mode and lift to display. It causes this issue in the latest update.

Hi everyone
Same issue here and its happening too often. Like 4 times this week. Super annoying. Old thread with same issue exists and the issue was solved by disabling the finger print unlock but after latest update its same isse. @lavenderyew suggestion above didnt work as i already have that disabled.

Try connecting the phone to a PC through the side port. While connected, hold the power button for about 15-20 seconds. Do you hear a sound from the PC like it's disconnecting from USB and then connecting again after a couple of seconds? If so, let me know and I will put together some instructions, as I have just got mine sorted from this scenario.

If you can connect through fastboot, I suggest downloading a RAW version and reflashing using that one, as it's the easiest approach. If you can't connect through fastboot (the "fastboot devices" command doesn't return any devices), try the following:
1. Download this file. It contains the firmware images and some utilities, which we'll need to use.
2. Extract the zipped folder wherever you want on your PC.
3. Download and install the Qualcomm_QDLoader_HS-USB_Driver_64bit_Setup.zip from here. You should be asked to reboot, but if you are not, you'll need to reboot.
4. Open the XiaoMiFlash.exe tool and use the Select button to select the "images" folder that you extracted.
5. Make sure that your phone appears in the list underneath and shows up as being in Download Mode. If not, try using the "refresh" button until the phone appears. If the phone doesn't appear to be in Download Mode, try holding the power button, while the phone is still connected to the PC, until you hear it disconnect the USB and then reconnect - this should put the phone in Download Mode.
6. Click on the "flash" button and let the process finish. You will know that it progresses, as it starts pretty quickly to flash images one by one. If the flashing doesn't start, try rebooting and retrying and if this doesn't work, reinstall the Qualcomm drivers and try again.
7. If the flashing status shows as complete, hold the volume up, volume down and power buttons (yes, all 3) until the phone shuts down.
8. Hold the volume up and power buttons pressed, so that the phone starts to the bootloader, then use the volume rocker to scroll to the "recovery" option and select it with the power button.
9. When in Recovery mode, use the volume rocker to scroll to the "wipe data" option and select it with the power button.
10. Select "reboot system" once the wiping is done.
This should be it. Let me know if something doesn't work.

It's enough to press the power button to get it to reboot, there should be no need to press all of them. I've just posted another reply on this thread with some instructions. See if those help you get it back and let me know if you need any help.

I've just received a PM from someone saying that this helped and I wanted to give credit to the thread from which I got the solution:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/rog-phone-2/how-to/repair-rog2-phone-edl-modeofficial-t4012175/amp/
The solution from that thread didn't really fit my situation, hence why I changed the steps a bit. Maybe that solution helps someone else.

When i try this method, it flashes the first part (i get a green bar) and then has an error directly after that.
From looking at the XiaomiFlash logs, "set boot partition failed"
