How do I unbrick my unrooted HTC 626G? - Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

(I couldn't find this exact problem on the forums, forgive me if I overlooked it)
I tried booting my mom's old phone, an HTC Desire 626G, but it is stuck in a bootloop. When I try to enter recovery mode (by pressing power + volume down), it just enters the loop again.
I can however enter what I think is the bootloader menu, giving me three options: recovery, fastboot or normal boot. Fastboot freezes the phone, the other two options just start the bootloop. I've never installed a custom ROM.
I disassembled the phone, un- and replugged the battery to no avail. I tried ADB but I never enabled USB debugging in the first place, so that doesn't work either.
Do you have another idea that might work?

Bro You need to flash the factory firmware using a pc with that fastboot mode.....
The existing firmware might have been got corrupted or the storage might have been damaged, since its an old device(which is very rare),
To do so u can find many articles on the internet very easily,

Thanks a lot, I'm finally able to communicate with my phone via PC now. Booting still doesn't work but now I can at least format the storage and hopefully flash the factory ROM.

[Q] Bricked L70

Hi,
so I rooted my phone, unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, put in 3 different ROMs on my External SD card, went ahead, deleted EVERYTHING from the phone, tried flashing ROMs, not a single one worked.
I rebooted the phone because I saw no other option, TWRP said that there is no OS, I went ahead and did it.
Now the phone won't start, I tried returning it to stock firmware as per lg-phones website guide (worked before, though my phone was not this messed up, I could access download mode and now I can't), but I keep getting connection problems. I have tried doing this with the phone just "turned on", it hangs on LG logo for infinity.
When I try putting the phone in download mode, the only thing I get is fastboot. When I try to use adb devices and other similar commands, it says device not found or simply does not list it, regardless of the "mode" the phone is in. However if I try and use LAF RECOVERY MULTITOOL, it detects my phone and I can use fastboot commands. I have custom recovery, boot and laf imgs on my PC, I tried flashing them all, PC and phone tell me everything's ok, but when I restart the phone, I get nothing... what am I doing wrong, and can this be fixed? If you have any questions, I'll answer to the best of my ability.
Thanks in advance!
SOLVED!!!!
Just found a backup laf.img that enables download mode... PHEW!

Stuck in boot loop (after upgrade to 5.1)

Last night I was running 5.0 Lollipop GPE on my unlocked Telus HTC One M7, when I got a notification for an OTA update to 5.1 . I let it download and install, it booted up and then ran through Optimizing Apps. When it finished, the phone rebooted - and then got stuck in this loop. I can either boot the phone and it starts Optimizing Apps (again) or I can get to the bootloader screen. Entering Recovery mode (then holding power and volume up) doesn't do anything- just leads me back into this loop.
Figured I need to flash the phone now, but cannot get it to show up when I run adb devices (just an empty list). I'm not sure if the phone isn't in USB debugging mode or there is something else going on here. I've tried both Mac and PC with several drivers, multiple usb cables, and any other potential solution google came up with. It obviously worked in the past in order to flash 5.0 GPE, but doesn't work now and not sure what has changed.
Any suggestions on getting out of this mess? Can I somehow flash it without being able to boot? Thanks!

use fastboot commands, usb debug is only to enable adb when the os is booted.

xperia Z3c bootloop after flashing CWM

I recently got a z3c and decided to try to get a slim rom on it.
I have done the following:
I unlocked the bootloader.
This was done successfully to the best of my knowledge
The next thing I did was flash a cwm image to by z3c using fastboot. The problem was that I flashed the z3 version on my z3c.
The device would boot but the screen would be blank.
Later I flashed the z3c boot loader named : Z3c_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_v01_FW-105
After this the device goes in a boot loop. I am able to access CWM.
I have tried to root the phone as well as flash the slim rom in an attempt to fix it....
Wiping disk / cache doesn't help.
Also for some reason even though adb drivers are installed I cannot use it so I can't get the twrp install to work.
I have no idea what to do can someone please help?
Thanks,
stp
I have same issue....Phone is ib bootloop...i can still go to fastboot mode....
Anything can be done here????
Flash an factory image with flashtool then you will have original recovery. Then reinstall CWM, maybe smth went wrong.
Tried flashtool---Ended up with errors as attached pic
As i cant bootup my phone...USB Debugging option cant be ticked
I was running SlimLP (unofficial) while bricked my phone....
Anything on that please....
I managed to recover my phone. I don't think you need usb debugging for flash tool. What I did was turn the phone off (power and volume up seem to be the buttons that force shutdown and break the reboot loop).
flashtool will prompt you to connect when you flash the ftf file and you hold power up and volume down when you connect the usb cable. If you have issues flashing (it hanged on me on system.bin) try restarting your computer.
Resolution and Problem Exp
Right after flashing the device recovery through fastboot the USB cable is plugged and that seems to loop the boot loader, so you need to force shutdown while looping by pressing POWER + VOLUME UP, and after that unplug the USB cable. You will notice that on boot now the light is no longer red.

I bricked my Moto X 2013 VZW Dev Edition - any chance of revival?

I'll start out by saying I was careless and had not read various threads before flashing things and causing my issues. I've already bought a replacement phone but I'd like to see if there's any chance to revive the Moto X or not.
What happened:
I had unlocked the bootloader years ago. I was running the (mostly) stock Lollipop 5.1 with XPosed, and got noticed of a security update.
After fully charging the battery, I flashed stock recovery over my custom recovery (TWRP) and then, without thinking, got the latest image from Motorola without realizing it was a 4.4.4 image.
I flashed the system partition using this image thinking it would remove SU and that I could install the update - this soft-bricked the phone when I tried to boot.
Too late, but at this point I re-flashed TWRP and ran a backup. I used adb to extract the backup and my other files from the /sdcard partition.
Factory Reset. The phone boot up at this point.
I tried flashing the logo, gpt.bin (I forgot that Lollipop changed how partitioning worked) and then did another Factory Reset. Phone boots fine.
I then tried restoring the data from my nandroid backup. Rebooted once, and phone seemed to start. And then it went black.
At this point, the phone does not appear to boot at all. I can't use Vol Down + Power to boot into Fastboot, and if I connect to a computer, it does not see the device... USUALLY.
If I connect via USB to my Windows computer, and try to boot into Fastboot, the green LED behind the volume will flash once and my computer will signal the "Hardware connected" sound. I can try to run 'adb reboot bootloader' but adb reports that it doesn't see any devices. My system events note a USB Input Device was added but don't get any further. Within 5 seconds, the "hardware disconnected" sound fires. About 20 seconds later, this will repeat on its own.
I just tried making a fastboot cable from a spare micro usb cable... I may have done it wrong - but it does not seem to have had any effect. The result is the same. It's possible I didn't solder the connection well, though (it was difficult exposing the terminals on my particular cable).
The screen is always black and never lights up in any way.
It kind of makes me think that the device is attempting to boot, fails, and cycles. Is there anything I can do?
At this point I am able to get into fastboot after bricking my XT1060DEV in a similar way. Follow the guide as best as you can in this post. Toward the end of that thread you can see the sequence of events that led me to at least fastboot mode.
Awaiting a response from someone who might know which gpt.bin and bootloader I can flash to have more than a blank phone. I'll try to keep you updated.
EDIT:
You might find it easiest to get QHUSB set up using this guide. This guide has been superseded by the previously posted one, but some people still report success following it.

I may not have a chance for a few days, but I will try this. I did try to download the software on the second link you provided and some of the links on that page were broken.
I'm not going to lie, navigating those threads is harsh.
Towards the end of the first linked thread you can see a post with what ended up getting me into fastboot. It might be a decent little roadmap to guide you in the right direction (plus, I think the files I indicate in that particular post are all still up).
Keep us updated!

Try reflashing twrp via fastboot, install custom ROM -OR- download latest XML for your variant flash via rsd lite or manual flash.
Note: When using the XML you will lose everything, including data on internal storage.
Hopefully this helps ?
Also, if your phone stays black it's likely the battery is dead. Leave it hook up for awhile or keep trying to boot into fastboot(while plugged into outlet, not PC) and leave it for a couple of hours, should charge.
I'm speaking from personal experience, just without having Xposed framework, lol.

Help..Error Mode:No Recovery image,Load failed ( no fastboot )

Hi, I have P10 VTRL09 .. A couple days ago i did relock bootloader and now i can not enter my phone.it stuck at Error mode.
I tried almost every method but it always comes back to error mode. I discharge the batterry and charge, if I am lucky, sometimes it will boot into the system but it will black out. I can not do anything except turn off, but while it was in this stage, i could connect to pc and get detected. pc try to install MTP driver but it also failed. I tried command in adb, it also failed (waiting for devices) ....
Issues :
1.boot loader locked
2.no recovery ( can not be load )
3.can not enter fastboot
4.can not force update
5.PC not detect
Question : Is there a way to make my phone go to fastboot ? so i can relock bootloader with adb and flash new firmware.
i appreciate all the help...please help me.
I have exactly the same issue. With identical error codes. Still trying to work out a solution.
on the Huawei website, the had a bootloader.img installer for older models but none for the p10/ p10 plus
Any advice would be appreciated
Let phone completely discharge even it power off automatically. Then put the phone on the charging it will boot up to system then go to settings >advanced settings>back up&reset> reset all settings
when it boot i cant see anything except black . i can only turn off or volume.
Connect with pc and press power and vol-
It should boot into fastboot. You got the error cause wrong or broken recovery.

Hi, I was having the same problem. Mate 8 EMUI 8.
After looking everywhere and trying all the options available, I wasnt able to resolve.
Finally, I tried FunkyHuawei and got my system back through eRecovery.
Gave them the readings like version no. , build no...etc through fastboot. The required info is on their site. They then reverted with a link of the firmware which I flashed through their FuHunbrick tool. It force updates the entire full last version.
After flashing and booting, the system didnt boot but was able to go to eRecovery and restored my previous version.
If you or anyone else stuck at this error, they can try at their own risk as they dont guarantee anything.
Edit: you should and will be able to boot into fastboot once the battery is totally down and phone shuts off completely. Just press volume down button and insert usb. Try again and again if it doesnt work first time.
Thanks.
Help
First sorry for my English
I have a similar issue:
Huawei P10 Lite
I managed to install TWRP, but when I did that I lost the OTA upgrades, then I tried to install the stock recovery and then the phone doesn't start. It just stay on the first screen (the one with the Huawei logo) and it gets hot as hell. The combination of keys doesn't work, the power key just reboot and gets back to the logo screen. I need your help guys, the phone is 3 month old. Thanks

Hi, let the phone battery dry out totally first. Totally. It should not vibrate at all when you press power button. Leave for a couple of hours more.
Then recharge to 50℅ or more and restart and see if you get to eRecovery or other options.
Are you getting any error screen after logo?
You will definitely get to fastboot by pressing volume down button and inserting usb. Try again n again.

Hi. I did the battery part and the part of the pressing the vol - is and connecting to pc. It started but didn't got into fastboot or bootloader, just turned on normally and then I ran the adb command "adb reboot recovery" and I had to do the battery part again. I am afraid to run "adb reboot bootloader" because the risks of the draining out the battery. I mean my phone does not enter into recovery.
