[Q] Freeze and boot stocked

Hey, this is my first post, and i come with a big issue with my HTC One. It's work like a charm, until this evening.
I already flashed two ROM, ARHD 8, 8.1 and 9, without problem, but when i tried to flash 9.1, AROMA freeze. So, no whories, i juste reboot my phone with "adb reboot-bootloader" and did a "fastboot erase cache" and try again. AROMA freeze antoher time (without touching the screen), bad luck i can"t reboot with holding power button. So, again, "adb reboot" (without bootloader this time, it sliped my ming...) and there, it's stock at :
And holding power button don't work (i tried to hold him for 10 minutes...). I tried with adb or fastboot... device not found (logical).
I don't know what to do next, any idea ?
PS : sorry for my bad english, i hope you understand me ^_^
PPS : can't add a link to my photo of the bootscreen, but it's stucked.

wait for the battery to die then plug it in and let it charge for a while then try again once device has cooled down

I post here, because now, the battery run out and it doing the same thing again. How can i have crash something with my phone unless doing a S-OFF, but right now, this is impossible, right ?

you should be fine if the device powers on.
try this download all in one toolkit and erase cache then install custom recovery and boot to recovery and try to flash the rom again in the newly installed recovery

when you boot into bootloader you have to press the power button once. you will then see fastboot usb at the top of bootloader menu then run the commands. it should see your device after that

The thing is, i can't go in the bootloader
(if i try to hold on power + vol down, i have capacitive button who are blinking (normal) but i can hold them about 10 minutes, but nothing happen)

then you have to wait for it to die again then charge. after it charges for a while unplug it turn it on and boot to fastboot and do what i said before.
if your using a touch recovery and flashing a rom that uses aroma only use the hardware buttons(dont touch the screen at all). let it sit on the aroma start screen for at least 5secs. and charge your device enough so you can unplug before you start aroma

have tried adb reboot fastboot

Yes, but nothing happen :/

just keep trying to hold power+volume down for 30 seconds if it doesnt reboot to bootloader let go and try again

Yes, i access to the bootloader. I erase the cache, and wait a bit for resend a recovery (he don't want to write it now, because of low battery)

good. you shouldnt have a problem from here as long as you flashing a zip file thats proven to work for your device

It's possible to send a file from fastboot mode ?

Nevermind, found how to do (thank the manuel ^^)
Many thanks skinsfanbdh :good:

So. Problem fixed. Thanks to you skinsfanbdh

[Q] Bootloop help (cannot access fastboot/adb)

Note: This is a re-post from the Verizon HTC forums (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2533042)
I just rooted and S-off my HTC via rumrunner.
No flash roms install or custom recovery installed.
I wanted to see if I still had CWM from my last root (I returned to stock via http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...highlight=s-on.
So I went into the bootloader or fastboot (I don't remember) and hit recovery. This did not send me to a CWM, but it appeared to be the stock version of recovery. The process took too long (I know impatient) so I turned it off via power button + volume down.
Now I come to you in need, my phone is constantly turning off/on only displaying the green htc text, no red text, then pausing for 8 seconds, then off again to black screen. The whole process lasts 12 seconds, and this had been going on for about 10-15 min atm.
Plugging it in, my computer does not have the time to recognize it with adb, or fastboot.
I cannot use the power button + volume down to go into bootloader, and pressing the power button does nothing.
Please help me.
So here's the update.
Screen is now black, meaning the boot up/down process has stopped.
I have tried these:
A. Hold down the volume down + power button for 20+ seconds.
B. Hold down the volume up + volume down + power button for 20+ seconds and let up on the volume up button when screen goes black.
These two methods results in a single boot up to green HTC text then black screen.
I suspect the device has lost most of its power. Tried it for a third time, the device is now unresponsive and remains at black screen.
Now I plugged the usb cable connected to the power adapter.
The device enters the aforementioned continuous boot loop.
I tried method A and B, and there are no results, the boot loop continues. Now the device returns to the low or no powered state.
Now the device is connected to the computer. The same happens as if it were connected to the power adapter.
Method A and B still do not work.
Results: holding down buttons longer do nothing for me. The device seems to have lost power, but when charged, immediately the device enters the boot loop state.
Note: when doing method A and B the trials were done when screen is on and when screen is off, still no results.
Now the screen is off and not connected to anything. The problem still persists.

If I had to guess I would say your volume down is broken, else it would enter hboot
plug in the power and let it charge all day. then plug it to your pc and try to adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot recovery the instant you here the pc usb ingage.
once you get to the bootloader try and fastboot erase cache followed by fastboot reboot
after your phone boots you should be able to go back to bootloader and reinstall custom recovery

I have a few questions/concerns to this.
1. When I charge it, I can't stop the phone from the continuous boot. I'm afraid that doing this all day might hurt the phone more.
2. Currently I have been charging it via computer (still boot loop), and the computer does not recognize it at all. I think there is really not enough time because the loop duration is only a few seconds.
3. Since the phone is connected to the computer, the commands adb reboot bootloader and adb reboot recovery does not work. Error: device not found.

well have you held the phone under a bright light and held just the power down for 15 seconds and let go when the phone go's off ?

So what is this method supposed to accomplish?
I did this and the phone stopped the continous boot. However when I tried to go to hboot it went back into the loop. I did this twice, and I'm able to stop the loop with the bright light method, but I don't know what to do from here.
Note: when plugging phone into computer, the loop starts again.

the phone should not bootup with the power cord plugged in from an off state (are you turning the phone back on ?)
turn off phone by holding power 15 seconds under a bright light
plug phone into outlet (not PC) let charge till green light comes on (not Red)
hold volume down and power for 10 seconds ( you should be in hboot)
plug phone to PC choose fastboot hit power
your now in fastboot usb
from here you reflash recovery
fastboot erase cache and reboot recovery
if your still in bootloop I'm at a loss, and seems your hboot is corrupted I think you have to return your phone to Verizon or HTC.

Well I don't know if it is truly off, I'm just assuming it is.
But yes as soon as I plug the phone into the power adapter the red led flashes on, and the htc logo appears, then the loop continues.
I'll probably take it into Verizon tomorrow and update on what happens.

Update: Welp, I gave up. I'm going to get my replacement soon and I'll be turning it into Verizon. Really it's not that bad of a loss since I just wiped the phone, only thing is I lost my screen protector and carbon skin

[Q] Did I just brick my Xperia TL?

So I did a stupid thing and didn't do my homework. I flashed CM 10.2 for Xperia T (Mint) on my rooted Xperia TL but didn't unlock the bootloader first. The phone won't boot. Just a black screen. If I hold the power button, it vibrates once, but nothing comes up on the screen. No LED light indicating charging while plugged in.
Have I just destroyed the phone?

No. A custom kernel won't work on a locked bootloader, so that is essentially your problem. Just put your phone in flash mode and use flashtool to flash a stock FTF and it should boot up just fine.

Then maybe put your phone in fastboot mode and flash the kernel first... IDK, I did that once and I'm pretty sure that's how I fixed it. With 7zip you can extract the "kernel.sin" file from the FTF, and use Flashtool in Fastboot mode to flash that kernel.

Thanks. I've been trying to put it into fastboot and can't get it to work. From what I have read, I need to hold power+volDown, right? I've held power + volUp to get it to vibrate three times, then connected it with the power & volDown buttons held and nothing - no blue light for fastboot mode. I've currently got it plugged in (using the oem Sony cable) with a rubber band around the power & volDown buttons. Maybe that'll work... I dunno. The led is just staying red, and I can't see it listed as a fastboot devices by typing "fastboot devcies" when cmd is open in the correct folder in the sdk... Any ideas on how to get this done?
Thanks for your help, everyone.

It's a bit hard to understand what you're trying to do
Fastboot mode = just press vol.up, keep on pressing, connect USB, when you get a blue light release the vol. button
Flash mode = just press vol.down, keep on pressing, connect USB when Flashtool is ready to flash the FTF, when you get a green light release the vol. button
As you can see, you don't have to press the PWR button (only pwr + vol.up to reset, but you already know it).
Usually it's enough to flash a new FTF... I don't know why you get that error: maybe a wrong button combination or maybe you didn't install the drivers needed for flashtool.
If your battery is almost discharged, the fastboot method is good to flash only the kernel in order to recharge the battery and then flash an entire FTF.
I guess your device is ok.
Anyway, have you already seen this guide?

I'll give it a shot. I can't seem to get it into flash mode or fastboot mode, though. When I hold down the Volume up or volume down button and try to plug it in, the light stays red and the computer makes a "connect" sound (Windows 7 - rising tones), then multiple "disconnect" sounds (falling tones). The light stays red and the phone is not connected.
I'm downloading a stock firmware and flashtool and will report back when I've tried it some more.

I suggest removing the battery, if you have the chance.
Keep the battery removed and press and hold power and volume up buttons simultaneously. Then plug the phone to your computer and you'll enter fastboot mode.
I revived my XV with the same red led that way.
Had to remove the battery before it would work, tho.
Good luck bro!

Sorry it took so long to get to this. I've just been using my backup in the meantime.
I took the battery out and plugged it in like you suggested. Worked like a charm! I've got it flashed and running now. Thanks!

Bootloop

So my xperia sp (c5302) has booted into a bootloop after rooting with kingroot. I upgraded it to 4.3 and im not sure what to do because the sony companion wont recognize the phone when it is rebooting over and over again. I need help

To stop the boot looping, you can simply unplug the battery, it requires opening the phone though.
You can then boot in fastboot mode by plugging usb cable while holding volume-up key, and flash the partitions.

Indeed it does, but I wasn't sure that triggering fastboot would work when warmbooting.
I gave i a try and it works. So the way to fastboot from bootloop is now:
1 - plug usb cable
2 - Hold volume up + reset button until leds turn blue
(if phone is in a boot loop, it might actually work by just pushing volume up during the boot)

Bricked but recognized in fastboot and recovery

Hello, it's my first question on XDA but I really like this community. So for my problem : after bug in lineage os I wanted returned on the official ROM but after flashing (with my flash tool) the phone doesn't want turn on, the screen stay black no vibrate no LED. On my computer the phone was sometime detected as a MTP devices. So i turn the phone on the fastboot to flash but went he is on fastboot the screen doesn't wake up but on the computer the phone is on fastboot and I can flash. After I tested the recovery so I flash TWRP and boot on this but the screen doesn't wake up but with ADB tool I see my phone and I can move in the phone with "adb shell". I tested all the thing I know to unbrick my phone so I answer you. I really thank you if you can help me.
PS: I don't speak very well English so I really sorry for all the mistake

Absolutely identical situation here, but for me the phone just died by itself at night. Reflashing stuff with EDL / Fastboot does not help at all.
With some combination of boot AND recovery it is visible as adb + mtp device, with some does not.
Should be noted that fastboot boot recovery.img does not boot recovery and loops, but holding up button while inserting usb cable does.

@Celeste.cote
@skydev
Usually you should try removing and reinserting the battery, but the Mi5's battery is not removable, as you know.
So what you wanna do is to force this behaviour by pressing the power + vol up + vol down buttons all together for about 1 minute (be serious about this - also try like 2 minutes if it doesn't work quicker!).
You'll notice that it has been working by seeing the Mi logo.
Solved the black screen of death error for me once.
How about you?

@Phil_Smith, thanks for the advice, well, it seems that the problem we have is a little different.
I have that behaviour (black screen + adb + mtp) sometimes only when trying to boot recovery, but when trying normal boot i get bootloader bootloop with "Mi logo unlocked".
I think i should make a thread for my own problem.
P.S. I think the power supervisor should shutdown (restart) phone if power button is being held for 10 seconds, except if in EDL mode!
I can also recommend doing poweroff from adb shell and removing USB cable immediately afterwards - it should power off the phone.

@Phil_Smith y really thanks you for your answer but that don't running on my phone... I think it's the motherboard who is broken because I have no vibrate no led and no screen. I give up for this phone... Thank you and @skydev I hope you find a solution
