Hi there
I've been writing about my problem for days now and I still haven't sorted it out. I'm just making the problem worse everytime I read all these forums. I messed up. I rooted when I shouldn't have. I get that. Please, I beg one of you to help me.
I tried to load software this morning and it just died. Screen went back. It seeemed to have been hard bricked. But then on the XDA forum I read how to keep playing with the up down volume buttons and the power buttons and it sometimes goes on.
Mine came on and it seems to have gone to recovery / install / etc screen (big buttons). Whatever I select, it always shows restarting and then the screen dies again and I have to play with it again. Obviously the software is messed up.
What software do I load here at this screen? What do I select? Recover or install or what? Please guys, the phone is on sufficiently enough that HTC will be able to see the phone was rooted. So I won't be able to get them to help. I need your help. Please???

Can't you go to bootloader > fastboot and use RUU?
i had almost same problem and managed to do this .
connect phone to charger or to pc via usb , keep pressing power and volume up bottons , unless phone starts charging (with charging battery logo),it will take 1 minute or so , after that remove cable and push Volume down and Power button together, keep pressing for a few second and phone should boot in bootloader , then you can choose fastboot mode and do RUU method , or if you have custom recovery , you can install some rom with it or restore backup (if you have one)
1. Put your device in bootloader/fastboot mode and run command fastboot getvar all and post result here (minus serial no. & imei no.)
2. Which recovery is that (you mentioned big button), TWRP ?
Hey guys
Thanks for the responses. It was just too daunting for me, so I took it to a repair centre. They will load the stock htc software on it.
Thanks anyway
OK ... no problem ...that's what we're going to suggest to you too. We have almost all the files needed on XDA
Hi guys Im new here, just wanted to fix a phone of my friend, you seewhen I normally boot the galaxy nexus it automatically starts on odin mode, wherein it says downloading.. dont turn of the target blablabla, and yet the lock buttons doesnt seem to work, and when I tried to open in recovery in order to clear the cache, the volume buttons and the lock button arent working. and it doesnt get me anywhere even if I get the phone to recovery mode.
however there seems odd writing down that gets me suspicious, it the lock state wherein it says locked.
need help guys! thanks!
Hi Guys,
My Z1 Compact is stuck on the initial loading screen when you first turn it on, so it just says SONY in the middle and xperia on the bottom and does not get any further. It got into this state after I turned it off by holding Power and Volume Up. I have tried various combinations of buttons to try force it into a recovery mode of some sort but does not seem to get there. I can get it into fastboot mode but it is still bootloader locked and I do not really know all the command in this interface.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Guys, I have solved the issue. Looks like the bootloader was corrupt. Re-imaged phone using flash tool.
Connect the flash tool by holding the the volume down and connecting via usb.
Then flashed the image off the flash tools website. NOTE: you have to connect phone after the "preparing files" stage otherwise phone will disconnect before flashing commences.
Anyone needs help with this specific issue please post, it was frustrating as hell trying to resolve.
Flashed back to stock and wiped everything few days ago. Today all of a sudden I can't get past the bootloader unlocked warning and the OnePlus logo flashes for a split second then it keeps doing this repeatedly. I also can't switch off the phone because the power button doesn't seem to do anything and I also can't boot into recovery. Fastboot works but that doesn't last long either, it exits fastboot mode on it's own and goes back to the bootloop again, also during fastboot all the buttons are unresponsive. The phone is not detected when connected to a PC during this bootloop, but if I do try to boot into fastboot mode and then plug it in the phone shows up as QHUSB_BULK for a split second and disappears.
As of now it's been doing this for over two hours. What are my options? Thanks for any help in advance.

As I am someone with the highest levels of skill, I believe I will be able to assist you with the powers of Google.
This exact same scenario happened to me a couple weeks ago, but for different reasons. (I flashed magisk on a non magisk compatible ROM) This guide over on the OnePlus 3 forums helped out a lot. Just keep in mind the mini version probably won't fix it for you, only the full one fixed it for me. Probably should do the same. Reason I say is because when I did the mini, it did boot up ish, but the logo was all faded and wouldn't let me get to recovery or fastboot. Also it showed up as 900E in device managed instead of QS 9008. This made it so I couldn't use the tool to flash it anymore, for some reason. I forgot what I did to fix it from there, but don't do what I did .

Yeah I saw this exact thread on the OnePlus forums, thing is I can't get it to power off at all. The power button is completely unresponsive even after holding it down for more than 40 seconds. I'm just going to give it another shot once it dies on its own, hopefully one of those methods will work. Thanks anyway though.

Sorry for replying old post. I have been facing this critical scenario for last two days. The phone never turned off, always looped through unlock warning. No, button working. Can you please share , what about your findings at the end ??
Hello xda members!
I am really stuck and I have lost many nervs trying to unlock the bootloader.
Well, I am not new to this and never had a problem the last years with several phones but this one s***s balls, sorry.
In the settings I checked for "OEM-Unlock" of course. Rebooted to Download Mode but I don't get the screen where I have to press Vol-Up to confirm unlocking the bootloader. What's up with that?
I tried everything I could think about but as I said I'm stuck and you guys here are my last chance.
I really hope someone can help me.
Greetings

As I said I checked for OEM-Unlock and it's on. And I don't have a problem entering Download mode. I don't get the screen to confirm unlocking bootloader. And that's what I don't understand.

Let we make it clear, If you enter download mode from Android Recovery, you will not see the option to long press volume up to unlock the boot loader. You will see it if you enter download mode: Turn off it, press and hold volume up + volume down together while pressing these keys, connect the phone to PC using USB cable.
enter download mode and long press vol up should fix the problem
I have the same problem with my galaxy fold F900F ..
I can enter to green screen ( download mode ) But there is no option for long press volume up ..
only I get long press volume down + power to restart the phone ...
so how to confirm unlocking bootloader in this case .. ?

Hello,
The problem usually comes when you unlock and lock bootloader too many times (2 or 3). To fix this problem you need to go into download mode - flash the stock firmware from samfw.com and then setup you phone. Then, unlock oem will be available in developer options and then you can unlock bootloader from download mode.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I think you need to flash the stock firmware.Then, bootloader unlock will be available in the download mode.
FYI If anyone is having this issue like me, just use power button + vol up + vol down button while powered off then connect usb cable, and it worked (for me!)
hey all. I had the same problem and managed to make the hold volume up to unlock option appear by connecting to internet, making a google account and samsung account, and fully completing the setup (no more "finish setting up your phone" notification)
Hope it works for you! there might be some waiting period as I did this over several weeks of playing around with it.

if you want to remove that finish setting up notification, just go to notification info then app info and disable that app, it's redundant anyways

I had the exact same problem with my SM-A505W! I looked everywhere and could not find anything. Eventually, I found a couple of things relating to a bug where you either had to plug in the USB-C earbuds that came with the phone or plug it into one of your computer's USB 2.0 ports. I did the latter.
This is what I did. First off ensured my phone was just like the one noted above by noobynoob7. Next I plugged my phone into a USB 2.0 port on my laptop. At this point I heard my phone connect and noted that the screen showed me my phone was charging.
***Important*** I pressed the volume up and volume down at the same time; then I pressed the power button, holding all three down simultaneously! At this point my phone immediately went into the familiar download mode with the option to long press the volume up button to unlock the bootloader.
I am about to return a S10e G970F because I can't get past this as well. Button combinations mentioned don't do anything for me, completely lost.
EDIT: Fixed now somehow. Sad that I am now apparently forever stuck on Android 12, even with custom ROMs?

Just use power button + vol up + vol down button while powered off then connect usb cable
