Following an update to Lotus Traveler (email program I have to use for work), my phone will no longer boot.
Turning it on, it gets to the "Quietly Brilliant" Splash screen and then just sits there forever on the screen. I tried booting with it connected to the computer but it makes no usb connection to the computer.
Trying to go into bootloader mode (Volume down + Reset) does work, however the phone never makes a USB connection.
Anything suggestions on other things to try?
Thanks!
I was able to make a USB connection and Task 29 and reinstall a new rom onto the phone.
Not sure if it was chance but I seriously tried connecting it via USB in bootloader mode 30 times without luck, then tried it once with the memory card in and it actually worked. Go figure.

Help pls i have olinex 1.40 hardspl in but my phone is stuck in bootloader with "upgrade ROM code error Please try again" i cant get out...tried hard reset nothing...tried recovery mode (volume down + reset ) nothing...cant get a usb connection help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
are you sure you don't have usb connection? try running an ruu with usb plugged in see if it runs. it sounds like you tried to flash a radio from another device. try flashing a new radio.

the bootloader shows usb when i plug it in and serial when i plug it out...when hard resetting it goes through the formatting but then just jumps back to bootloader with the message...active sync recognizes nothing but i'll try that right now
edit - ok it seems to be flashing i'm crossing my fingers
edit: ok it seems to have flashed i see my rogers main screen thank you soooooooooooooooo much
glad to hear!
just so you know you can always flash from bootloader. i have seen alot of people around here saying "oh no, my device is bricked and i'm stuck in bootloader". i lol.

lmao now i know..i was coming from an elfin, not used to diamond as of yet but now i know
Bootloader bottom says "serial" but wont switch to "usb"
Perhaps this is a known issue but I could not find the solution easily and ended up discovering it myself so wanted to share it in case others face the same.
I was try to use the mtty software to "clean" my touch diamond in an effort to get rid of some bugs in macadam 1.2 rom [great rom, by the way].
I had disabled the usb connections in active sync on my laptop [mac running windows xp in bootcamp]
I could enter bootloader easily but the bottom part of the multicolor screen kept saying "serial" and would not switch to "usb" when I connected the phone to the laptop.
What finally worked was ensuring that the phone was set for "activesync" rather than use as a "disk drive" or "internet sharing". I had assumed, wrongly, that once in bootloader the last selected option [disk drive] would be irrelevant.
So I exited the bootloader by pressing the reset key; connected phone to pc via cable; selected the active sync option; disconnected the phone; entered bootloader, connected the phone via cable again and the bottom of the bootloader changed to usb and I was able to use mtty successfully.
I wonder if this has implications for people stuck with bad flashes etc. In my case I could easily exit the bootloader and go back and select 'activesync' from the working phone. One could also hard reset if a working rom was on the phone...
BUT If one is stuck with the option of only the bootloader, would it matter on what the last selected option was [active sync or use as usb disk drive or internet sharing]?

This doesn't make any difference. When you're stuck in bootloader just plugin your USB and the display will state "USB" as well. You can flash a rom at this point.
i have the red, green and blue screen going on and no matter what i try to do its not doing anything, i tried to reinstall the OS and my pc wont detect any phone that is connected. is there anyway i can get this phone back to normal?
damn.. anyone please?
Hey crazy first thing i would try is to make sure you have active sync installed and the connection manager set to connect via usb. if you have it setup right active sync should recognize the phone whether the comp does or not as long as active sync sees the folders you can flash. secoundly use the search option for the forum to find related articles for the loader screen and flashing.
tri-color screen, that is Boot loader mode, where you can flash/ reflash your EXCA to a new rom. Make sure you install "Activesync", make sure you plug the USB cable to your EXCA.
When you plug the usb cable, the tri-color screen will change the "Serial" to "USB".
That mean, your computer has recognized your phone.
The rest of thing, you could spend little time to know: "HOW TO FLASH A NEW ROM SUCCESSFULLY?"
Good luck.
Hello,
yesterday, I bought a HOX. Today, everything went fine but 30 minutesn ago, I switched it off to change to SIM. Now, I would like to start the phone but it only shows the HTC logo. I also tried to use the hard button. It recognizes the combination but I cannot choose anything. I can only see the screen with FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, FACTORY RESET and so an.
I tried so establish a connection to the computer but also there nothing happens.
I plugged the phone via a USB cable to my laptop - not it shows HBOOT and checking SD card update. Google told me plugged of the cable and it should work. Unfortunately, for me this is not working.
Has anyone an idea what I could do?
I'm looking forward to your answers. Thanks in advance.
hi guys,
today my phone just randomly got into bootloop mode.
I didn't install any patch or tried to root.
The phone is technically brand-new.
It just loops on its way booting and there is no way to access download mode or anything.
When connected to pc it stops the loop but the pc doesn't connect to the phone when it used to do it in the past.
Whenever I disconnect my phone from the pc it gets back in the loop
Hello,
I have serious problems with my Mi A2 Lite.
Until yesterday evening, it worked fine. Then I started FB Messenger (as I do often), the screen froze and the phone did a restart.
Since this moment, the phone behaves like that:
- After booting, if I just remain on start screen, the phone crashes after around 10 secs. The screen goes black and after some seconds it asks me to enter the PIN (it says sth. like "after a restart PIN is necessary").
- If I turn on WiFi or mobile internet connection, the crash occurs immediately when the phone receives any signal from the network.
- If I connect the phone to the computer via USB, the phone crashes immediately. It does not recover until I unplug the USB cable.
- If I start it with the USB cable plugged in, it doesn't finish booting, it stucks at the loading screen until I remove the cable.
- The same if I insert a microSD card into the slot. It does not boot as long as there is a microSD card in the phone.
This means: Currently, I have absolutely no chance to save any of my remaining photos or chatlogs, as every possible method to transfer data (WiFi, mobile internet, microSD card) leads to a immediate crash or makes the phone to be stuck in booting. Also bluetooth doesn't work.
... any tips?
I assume your bootloader is locked ?
I have not changed anything, so I think so too
Have you tried getting into Fastboot mode ?? Power it down first. More details/specifics - are you on stock Pie or Oreo rom ?
For future reference, whenever possible - I set default photos/data storage to mSD card and backup those to cloud, and periodically run a manual backup onto a PC.
It's stock Pie with all updates.
I have been in Fastboot mode, I managed to unlock the bootloader without erasing the data (there is a trick to be found on the web). I also managed to flash the current ROM with MiFlash, luckily my files and Apps where not damaged by it ("save user data"-Mode), but the problem is still the same.
I noticed that it crashes in exactly the second when the clock(alarm)-icon appears on the top right, so I managed to disable the Clock App. Now I have some seconds more, but it still crashes...
+ If I go in safe mode, it's the same situation.
Get the twrp 3.3.1-dees_Troy image and boot it from fastboot.
Hopefully it will come up and you'll be able to use mtp or adb to pull things off the phone.
