I have a Stock TILT 2 (TP 2) never flashed running basic programs Mobile Shell never had any issues with it, haven't installed new software in a few weeks , but I soft resetted it this morning and it keeps getting stuck in the boot screen. when first turned on it will run through boot screen then load screen for a millisecond then back to boot screen and never advances again , I've tried battery out sim card out Sd card out everything, even tried hard reset , but wont allow me to hard reset with front buttons and power, is there another way to hard reset , is it possible my phone just bricked for no reason ? thanks for any help ?
have you tried to do a hard reset via the pc? the original rom is on the htc website so you can try useing the exe file there. there is also an updated rom you can try to flash there. hope that helps
You might try sending it to the bootloader screen and reflashing. I don't know if it will work, but I thought it might be worth the effort.
I did notice that HTC removed the original shipped ROM for the Tilt2. I'm sure it is floating around here somewhere. If not, I have it and can send it to you when I get home.
Thanks I have original rom and just released wont work.
dod you see anythign on teh screen? if you do, then hard reset may fix it.
Power off your phone (or take teh battery out). Then press and hold teh call and hang up button while press teh power button. it will enter the hard reset mode. (remember hard reset will erase all the info on the phone and rever tot the stock setting).

wow, thank god i dl'd it when i dl'd the updated rom... and they still have the image of the old rom right beside it... lol
as for op, you can try to enter the bootloader with the following steps
Remove the back cover from the phone.
Hold the Volume Down button.
Use the stylus to press the reset hole.
Or if the device was powered off, press the power button whilst holding down the Volume Down button.
and try to flash from there
hope that helps again
Anyone please help me, i'm very nervous
Today my Gnex has just decided not to turn on anymore after a reboot.
Please note that it is not Flashing - related, because i've used this current rom (Xenon HD v8) for about a week or so. When the fault happened, i just rebooted my phone during a normal daily use, and right after downloading Google Maps and updating Instagram. These are the only changes i made before rebooting the device. And booooom, it stopped running out of the blue.
It does vibrate when i press and hold Power button (for a normal boot) or when i press the combination of Vol up + Vol down + Power to enter fastboot.
But that's it. After the short vibration, it stays black
It does feel warm on the back.
So, what happened to my phone?
Please explain this Sh!t, many thanks.
Maybe this can help you.

Shine a torch on the screen. If you can see anything then the backlight is gone...
Hi,
I have a bootloop issue (I was using LOS official and it crashed when I answered a call) and when I try booting in recovery mode it just starts normally.
I do the Power + Vol down until I see the LG logo then release both for a short time and hold them again but it starts the LOS bootanimation..
What I am doing wrong ?

The G4 has a really stupid way of entering the recovery. I couldn't get in for a while too. Try again making sure you are actually pressing the buttons together at the same time. That means having just one click. They have to be clicked down at the exact same time.
Also, the instructions you've seen (first Google result) may not be the best. This is what I do WITH a custom recovery (TWRP).
1. Power off completely
2. Holding power and volume down at the exact same time until the lg logo appears.
3. Continue holding the volume down button but release the power button for a second.
4. Press and hold power and volume down again.
5. When asked if you want to wipe the device, select yes. This won't wipe the device but will take you to TWRP (if you installed it). Otherwise, it wipes the device.

Same Issue here, I was on Genisys opened whatsapp cuause I had a new message and phone rebooted.
after that it just stay on LG logo.
I followed your steps and got to the option of factory reset but after I hit ok with the power button phone just reboots back to the LG logo.
I think mine is the genuine bootloop issue.

Ok after a few tries I managed to do it this way
Hi guys, today I've managed to brick my G4 so it doesnt boot neither to recovery nor fastboot nor download mode. It just loops the LG logo as you can see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gm0dh6bLp4
Any ideas how to recover?
Thank you

If you don't remember doing anything that might have caused this, then it may be the LG G4 bootloop bug.
I'd put the phone in a zip lock back, in the freezer overnight and then back up all my data as quickly as possible. You're phone may be dead.

I'm sure I've bricked it while flashing LOS (regular dirty flash of new weekly like i do nearly every week), this time just went something wrong...
As far as I can tell from some YT videos my reboot pattern is different from regular G4 bootloop
Thx for your replies, I managed to revive my phone after whole day of tinkering. Had to overcome some issues so I've posted the solution: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73539738&postcount=1

Hmm, wait, ok. I did it finally, you just need to press them simultaneously and then when LG logo appears just release the power button for literally 1 second and then press and continue to hold both of buttons. That's it.

This actually worked!!!!....The 1 Second is crucial in the process, I did it on my first try after reading post
I did the procedure but it went to a page that said clear your phone or not! Just it, and there is no option to clean cache partition or any other
First off, I did do a search, but as far as I can tell no one has had this problem so far.
This is all after modding using a tool kit: (i can't include the url but it is the toolkit by neisor on the oneplus forums)
tldr: phone stuck in bootloop, computer wont recognize the phone, maybe because it keeps shutting off and then booting to the 1+ logo, then shutting off again, would drivers help? what can I do about the volume up button?
So for a while my volume up button hasn't been working, and the mega unbrick post shows that I need to hold the volume up button for at least 25 seconds and while holding, plug my phone in. I have also seen some posts that say the volume up button could be a software issue, and the button itself could be working, and it is just not registering, as well as someone saying that you could take the back off and manually press the button, instead of using the bar on the outside of the phone (would this work?). I have gotten the button to work in the past by pressing the volume up button to the side instead of straight in, but I haven't been able to get it to work since my phone got bricked.
Another issue: my phone is stuck in a boot loop, I can't access fastboot, and I'm unsure of recovery because my volume up button is not working. would it be worth it to deal with the constant vibrating to try to get it to recovery?
I have been able to shut the phone off by holding the power button for something like a minute and a half, though.
This is my first post, and if I have broken any rules I am very sorry, but I need help and am tired of not having a phone.
Thank you everyone,
Mark
Edit: this is what I did to root the phone:
1. download the toolkit
2. unlock bootloader (when fastbooting the phone said unlocked at the bottom, and a message about not being secure showed every time I rebooted the phone)
3. flashed twrp (no issues, still booted, recovery went to twrp. for some reason I had to flash multiple times as every now and then recovery would revert to stock op, although I did make a backup through twrp)
4. send supersu zip file to phone, install using twrp (phone would not boot, op logo stayed on phone for 2 hrs + until I rebooted to fastboot and tried to reinstall the backup I made, still nothing)
5. Try magisk (still stuck on op logo)
6. try to go back to stock, accidentally lock bootloader (now the phone is stuck in bootloop, don't know what to do from here as I cant get to fastboot and am unsure of recovery's accessibility.)
If you are sure you have a broken volume button, you need to replace it first in order to get the phone fix.
Correction:
Fastboot/bootloader = Power+Vol Up
Recovery = Power+Vol Down
This happened to me except I didn't even get anything appear on the screen -- the phone just periodically vibrated with the screen not even light up. I tried the reset toolkit which is meant to flash your phone back to normal using Qualcomm drivers or something, but that didn't work either. Eventually I had to send it to OnePlus who fixed it for free in under a week! They said the motherboard had failed.
I hope you get this fixed!
Thanks

thanks for the correction, I will keep trying the volume buttons, if it doesn't work by the end of today I will search for a new volume button.

Damn, that sucks, and besides being unfixable (doubt it), this is my biggest fear. I'm in the US and really don't want to have to ship my phone to china to have it fixed. If you are in the US as well do you know if there is a OnePlus branch I can send it to in the US?
Thank you,

There seems to be one in Texas. Anyway, contact OnePlus and they may try to solve it over the air.
Apart from that, did you install the Qualcom drivers properly? Even with your faulty power button, try to hold it down for 40+ seconds (for the phone to switch off) and then immediately hold down the volume up button for 10 seconds and then plug in the phone to the PC. I know I am merely repeating the instructions of Naman Bhalla in his Mega Unbrick Guide but it is crucial to do them correctly especially the installation of the drivers. Try these steps repeatedly because for some people, the phone gets recognised after repeated attempts. Or else replace the power button and then try these steps.
I had to use the Guide last month and successfully resurrected my dead phone.

Can you boot into recovery by pressing power+volume down buttons?
Update: Got phone to show on computer as qualcomm under coms and ports
So last night I went ahead and held volume up for about 20 seconds, then plugged the phone in, keeping the volume up button pressed the entire time. my phone stopped bootlooping and showed up as a qualcom device! So I have downloaded the new driver the stock os, and am going to proceed to try to unbrick my phone.
Wish me luck,
Mark
Yes, I did, and its working so far

I still need to turn off the signed drivers features ( a huge bi*ch, I have to use another computer to contact microsoft or something to get my computer to load when I turn off safe boot or whatever its called), but once I do that I can install the driver and attempt to reinstall the stock os. Hopefully everything will go well.
Thank you,

Not as far as I know

So far recovery has not been loading, just the bootloop, but I have gotten the phone to power off by pressing the power button for 40 seconds, and the volume up button plus plugging in does make the phone register as qualcom 9008 or something like that. Basically everything is going well so far, and the faulty vol button seems to have been a software bug, as it does work when plugging it in. I will try to get to fast boot, but it did not work last time.
Thank you,
Mark

Glad to hear that there is some progress. Best of luck and keep us informed.
Hi, I had this issue, phone was keep booting, nothing worked, I tried volume up/down button + power, but as you can see in the video, nothing worked. After 3 hours, battery died , charged my phone and worked like nothing happened before. What could I do , let's say if this happens next time, how can I solve ?

The following steps will force a reboot, you can follow them if you get stuck in a bootloop again.
1. Press and hold power button for about 10 seconds or wait for several options to appear on screen.
2. Tap the Restart option. The phone should then restart.
I watched the video, did you already try pushing the restart button?

Indeed, this seems like an issue that is solved by fully powering the phone down; perhaps something in volatile memory preventing recovery by other means?
Regardless, it would seem that the problem itself is resolved. Are you aware of what you were doing before this happened?
