Hi,
I have a big problem with my asus zenfone 2 ; i tried to delete the bloatware apps and i put myself in troubles,
I went to the boot menu (power + volume up) and i tried to enter to recovery mode with (power and volume + in the same time) it worked on first time i wipe the cache and after restart the phone.
Now i have the same screen with the dead android icon even when i restart my phone and put it to charge, so i tried to go to the recovery mode but did not work,
I am blocked on the dead android icon, even when i turn it off and try to recharge the battery, it starts automatically and go to the dead android screen

So funny story. I was trying to install a different ROM onto my M9 and I went to recovery mode (I have TWRP Recovery) and then wiped The device which got rid of the existing ROM and then i turned off my M9 so i could remove the external SD card and then put on the new ROM i wanted. I re-inserted the SD card and then turned on the device (like a dumb ass) then realized that I had no OS installed so it's currently stuck at the white screen with the green HTC logo and the classical red text because it's rooted. I tried to hold the power button for like 2 minutes, tried the power and volume down button and power and volume up button. Nothing seems to break it out of this screen and I have no idea what to do. right now i'm thinking I should let the battery die and then charge it and then hold the power button and volume down to put it into download mode so i can put it back into recovery to install my ROM. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

U are posting in the wrong section.
Moderators will move it to "help + q&a".
Now the answer: hold power and volume up for 10 seconds, phone will reboot.
Then quickly vol down and power for recovery.
Hello XDA Forums!
I am a weirdo that chooses to not have a cell phone plan, and use a device with wifi to make my calls through Skype and Google Voice. This has been working for me for the past few years and my roommate just got a new phone and i asked him for his old Galaxy S III SGH-I747 AT&T.
So today while messing around with it (I rooted it, installed TWRP recovery and got it all ready for my weird set up, turning off the service and getting the apps I needed etc) I decided i wanted to remove all the bloatware it comes with, so i set it into recovery mode, using TWRP i backed up everything, set it to wipe/factory reset, and tried to flash a custom ROM onto it. I went through the steps in TWRP and chose the options i wanted etc and then when it flashed the ROM and rebooted its bricked!
OH NOES!
No charge icon when i plug into the wall. Computer doesn't see it when i plug into computer. Doesn't boot (obviously) and i cannot enter recovery mode or download mode. Been searching the webs all day, such a bummer. I tried to write a unbrick iso to my 32gb sd card with win32diskimager, remove battery, put in card, replace battery, nothing.
Tried all the button combos: Volume down + Power, Volume up + Volume Down + Power, Volume Down + Home + Power, Volume up + Home + Power
(The only thing of note is when i have it connected to my pc and press volume down and power my pc makes the "connected" and then "disconnected" noises over and over as i hold the buttons.)
Bought a USB Jig for it on Ebay for 4$, maybe that will get me into download mode, but until that comes i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?
i guess if worse comes to worse i will send it to a JTAG service, but as a thrifty dirtbag getting a free phone i was hoping to keep costs down.
Thanks for reading and any input is appreciated.

I got the same problem.. I just tried to reboot in recovery but it never came back on..
What rom did you flash?
You could run debricking the phone with an sd card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068
My daughters Note2 (gt-n7100, fully stock) reboots itself into download mode when it gets switched off. It goes straight to the 'downloading... do not turn off target' screen. If the phone is powered down from this screen, it just comes back on again to the same screen. The only way to restart is to either hold vol down + home + power which then gives me the option to cancel, or to hold vol up + home + power to enter recovery and boot into system from there.
Also, it won't charge from completely flat (most likely because any power management can't start because of the above issue?), but does so if it's switched on.
These problems seemed to spontaniously appear with no system changes.
At first I thought it was maybe the kids messing around with it and the phone was expecting to be updated so reflashed stock everything via Heimdall. The problem persisted so I tried flashing TWRP and LineageOS (both succesfully) but still it goes into download mode when powered down.
Anyone any ideas?
Hi.
I have a Xiaomi mi5s 64/3 GB in an endless bootloop. Here are the details:
The phone is:
rooted
bootloader unlocked
developer mode enabled
internal storage *not* encrypted
no MIUI account activated
USB debugging on
running the last EU MIUI 9.x development version (don't remember the exact version) with Android 7.0
has TWRP 3.2.1.0 and supersu 2.82
no password is set for unlocking the screen etc.
For some unknown reason the phone suddenly rebooted yesterday and got into an infinite bootloop cycle. I haven't changed any roms recently or done any such flashing. My google play automatic updates were disabled, but a few days ago I manually updated all the apps.
The only odd thing that happened prior to this bootloop, was that when shooting some photos with the google camera mod (same one I've been using for the past few weeks), 2 images were saved as corrupt unreadable files. But that happened a few hours before the bootloop suddenly started.
The current status is:
1. I cannot turn the power off (tried holding the power button, or power button + vol up and down for a very long time --> nothing).
2. I cannot enter recovery mode using vol up + power.
3. I cannot enter EDL using all 3 buttons.
4. If I hold volume down, it enters fastboot but automatically exits from it within 4 seconds (ADB and miflash cannot detect the device in this short period of time). holding the volume down button for a long time has a repating enter-exit-after-4-seconds from the fastboot graphics.
I waited until the battery was completely dead, than started charging it and the status described above was unchanged.
QUESTION 1 - restoring the internal data is my number one priority - does it seem possible here?
To be exact: I want the DCIM folder with the photos+ videos. What should I try now?
QUESTION 2 - I ordered an EDL cable, but am unsure if it supported for my MIUI version. if the EDL cable works, can I force the phone to enter recovery mode from within EDL?
If so - I guess I can copy the internal data to an external USB OTG flash drive I have (that works well with the phone).
If my data is restored, I will then move onto trying to reflash the phone, but at this point this is the least of my worries...
Thanks all.
Anyone?
Maybe it's a problem with the button? I would disassembly the phone and check the hardware.

I don't know - the buttons don't seem like they are stuck in any way. When I push them, they click back out as usual.
Update - I created an EDL flash cable by stripping the cable gently, exposing the green and black wires, and looping them together - connecting this cable to the phone didn't help either.
Maybe I need to wait for the battery to die so the phone will turn off, connect this cable to the phone, keep the power button pressed while I connect it to the usb port in my PC... what do you think?
I have the same problem with mi 5s which started after update. Don't know what to do.
Took the phone to a local lab - it was all due to a faulty power button module.
Hi everybody, yesterday I was playing with my old Galaxy A50 trying to install a custom rom unsuccessfully.
I repeated the procedure three times installing TWRP and then Havoc OS but every time I tried to reboot from TWRP to OS I was stuck at the warning screen saying that the phone bootloader was unlocked and booting into download mode to reflash TWRP was blocked as it showed "only official binaries can be installed" (yes I installed Samsung disabler but still).
Still I was able to get the phone into download mode and reinstall the stock firmware as it seemed to be the only way to install and boot TWRP.
But at 4th time repeating the process I got frustrated, shut down the computer and left the phone on the warning screen still connected to computer usb cable.
Then I got back and noticed the phone was off as the battery died.
Indeed the battery died, so I put the phone in charging and after it reached 100% I tried to boot into download mode again to reflash stock firmware.
But here's the strange thing, I cannot boot into download mode anymore as pressing vol up+vol down while connecting usb cable, shows the lightning charge logo for 5 secs and then reboots infinitely with the same pattern.
If I force reboot by pressing vol down+power it shows the Samsung logo with the warning below it, then skips to another screen with another warning suggesting to press power button to continue (which does nothing) and after a while reboots to samsung logo.
So it doesn't seem it is bricked, it looks more like a battery controller fault, so I tried to detach the battery flex from the board, hoping it would reset the controller but it's still the same.
Also I tried with the flex detached and still no download mode is possible.
Was the download mode somehow erased? (if it's even possible considering it's the motherboard firmware)
If you need photos, videos or even a call on zoom, Skype, webex I would be glad to show you
same i got the same problem i can't find nothing for this when i press volume up and down and put the otg cable its simply charges but it gets stuck on the logo image there's no way to fix this but the only way is to open the phone,change the emmc and put one from samsung,close the phone flash a custom rom and you are done.
If you can enter recovery, do it. As soon as your phone gets into it, select the power off variant and then try to enter the download mode.
It seems like you did not unlock the bootloader, did you?
The bootloader Is unlocked i can't enter in the recovery because the phone locks on charging logo and its fully charged but when i try without charger It doesn't start.
