lmfao relax. Hold your volume button down, hold the end key down(the button you hang up the phone with) then push the power button.
When your phone boot you should see a gray screen that say serial, plug your device into the computer and serial should change into usb. Then run the rom and there u go

Doesn't that trigger Ramdump mode (well, I don't know what that means, actually)?
All the OP needs is to go to Bootloader Mode to flash a ROM via USB. Bootloader is easily accessed by: Turn off phone, then press/hold Volume Down + Power button.

thanks guys, ive been using android, and never a minmo device, thanks everyone!!

Yes that mode what ever its called

If you read the sticky posting on Task29, you would see it tells you that this is normal behavious for Task29, and it also tells you how to get out of it

Sortof. I just tried task29 for the first time a few days ago. I freaked out when I got in the same situation as him, but then read through the thread. There's the option of shutting the phone off, and pressing vol down + power key. I ended up doing vol down + power key + push reset with stylus at the startup screen. Simplest solution for me.

taking off the battery, istnt that simplest?
Amd here is the theme about this

In the very first posting of the Task29 thread, it says :
When phone boots to "Touch Pro 2" screen (or whatever your splash screen happens to be), I hold down the volume down button while hitting the reset button.

IMO, the smartest thing to do is when Task29 is near 100% (I think it pauses at around 96%), hold down the Volume Down button. That way, when the phone (tries to) reboots, it goes straight to Bootloader.

thanks all you have been more than helpful, ive been using this site for a while (for my android device) but just recently made an account. All of you keep on getting it done!!!

Moved as not ROM Development.

Hey, I have a Touch Pro2 and I tried the key combination above and it didn't work for me. I did get it to work however using the send key (green button) instead of the end key....
I.e, held volume down button, held send key and pressed power key once... ;-)

Phone MUST be off before doing the key combo...

(Q) Key Combo To Enter Recovery

Does anyone know if this phone has a key combo that will get you into recovery and or reboot your device? My sgs2 has this feature. All you have to do is hold all three buttons for a few seconds and it reboots, a couple seconds longer than that it reboots into recovery. I really hope that samsung implemented a similar feature because that came in handy

Vol up + vol down + power
it brings you to a bootloader. press vol down until you see Recovery and when it goes there hit Power.

This does not work if the device is really hung, e.g. if /init is bad. For that situation is there any alternative to pulling the battery? I'm hoping to preserve /proc/last_kmsg, which only a soft reset does.

Not that I'm aware of, the phone won't even respond to any commands through the prompt unless your in fastboot or android.

Just another person who has Hard Bricked his M8

Hello Everyone
TL;DR Screen doesn't come on at all, battery led only flashes while it is rebooting (More details below), and When plugged in to my windows pc, a bunch of "Local Disk Found" pop up, some of the volumes I can access, most I cannot.
I have searched and searched the internet the past 24 for solutions, and have yet to find one. So imma walk you through what led up to the issue, as well what solutions I have tried.
Yesterday while I was trying to update my rom, I ended up getting stuck in what I thought was a boot loop. I then decided to hard reset my phone and go into recovery in hope to try to reinstall the rom. To my surprise, I could not access the internal sd card in the phone. Data was unmounted in the "Mount" settings and I could not what so ever remount it. After this I tried to side load it, but to no avail.
In response to all my attempts to fix the phone at that point, in frustration, I just said "**** it" and went into factory reset in the bootloader. This is where the hard brick happened. At this point, the screen would not come one, and the battery led was not lit when plugged in. I tried letting my phone charge over night and then, tried the "Battery Recalibrate method". I then tried the "Hold Pwr + Volume up for 10 seconds, then Power + volume Down until you access the bootloader"
After that, I then thought that the firmware was corrupted, so I tried to see if I could push an img to the phone, however fastboot does not see the device. I tried RUU, it does not see the device. I tried the HTC Unbrick method by Dexter that required me to install ubuntu and do some things in terminal, that also did not find the device. And here I am stuck. One thing unique to my situation that I have yet seen reported in the countless threads I have searched, is that when I plug my phone to my pc, a large amount of disk drives are found. Most of them are not accessible, but there are a couple that I can go in and see files for. Windows asks me if I want to format the ones I can't access. When hooked to my pc, I tried the the Power + volume button combinations, the only thing that seems to happen off of this is that my phone seems to reboots, and the battery indicator briefly shows.
Anyways, this is all I can remember. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I don't really think it is a hardware related issue since my phone does somewhat boot. However it seems it can't get to a bootloader what so ever.

Try holding power and vol up for a long time, like a minute or more. Try with and without charger attached, and after sitting on charger overnight.
If the bootloader is intact, the phone is likely not truly bricked (recoverable). And I don't see how you could have damaged hboot by the actions you mentioned.
What is the phone's original CID (carrier version) and are you s-on or s-off?

Verizon is the carrier version, and I am s-off.

Held vol + up for 5 minutes both with and without the charger. One time with the charger into my computer, and another into the wall. When it was in my pc, I can tell its doing nothing but rebooting over and over by the notification sound, and the constant "Found new disk" notifications I got. However still no luck, no screen turns on, no sign of hboot. I'm hoping to have some luck after leaving it on charge overnight and trying again.

So still nothing after leaving it on charge overnight and I held vol + up for about 5 minutes. Things seem grim.

I think the proper thing to do when you discovered internal storage was not mountable, would have been to use the TWRP option to format internal storage (in Advanced Wipe options).
But now I'm baffled as to what happened that would have rendered the phone unable to boot into fastboot mode. Fastboot won't recognize the device if you can't boot into fastboot mode, which leaves use kinda stuck.
So you didn't try to flash anything during the course of all this troubleshooting?

What you did - "Hold Pwr + Volume up for 10 seconds, then Power + volume Down until you access the bootloader" is totally wrong
I used to get this bunch of local disk pop-up and this is how I get out the problem
Connect the device to pc, you can hear notification sound on pc that device is connected. Ignore all those bunch of local disk pop-up
Press & hold both power button & volume up button until you hear another notification sound that device is disconnected from PC (that's the indication that device is restarted)
Release both power & volume up button and quickly press & hold volume down button (only this one button)
This should get you on bootloader

No, nothing was flashed except the original Rom update that got this snowball rolling (Not saying its the roms fault, most likely mine).

This is the one combination I forgot to mention in the op, sorry for that.
But I have tried this, before and after your post, still no luck.
If it worth mentioning, I can just hold power + down and it still reboots over and over. As well as just power. As a matter of fact, all button combinations reboot the phone over and over.

I thought the screen was dead? If so, how do you know its rebooting?

By it constantly connecting and disconnecting from my pc. If that doesn't mean its rebooting, then I guess I'm mistaken.

Well, it might mean that.
If it in fact is rebooting over and over on its won, simply holding the vol down button for a long time, should put you into bootloader (on the next reboot "cycle"). Again, assuming it is in fact rebooting, and that bootloader is intact.

You need a Windows PC, I suggest getting minimal ADB from this XDA post.

Not working power button and recovery with "no command." issue

Hi all, have two problems:
1) My power button stopped working long time ago. But it's some mysterious. It doesn't turn off or on screen and it doesn't accept options in bootloader. But it DOES reboot tablet if I hold power button.
I was trying to clean button with alcohol and make it work, but nothing helps. I think that button replacement won't help (I didn't try).
2) I wanted to install new ROM, but I can't. I stopped after flashing recovery, 'cause "No command."-screen appears, where I should use my NOT WORKING power button.
So my questions are:
1)any suggestions about the problem with power button? (Solution of this problem will solve second problem)
2) how to enter custom recovery without using power button if I had "No commans." stock recovery screen?
Thanks a lot!

Type "adb reboot recovery" from inside Android. Same for rebooting to fastboot or bootloader. It's easier, especially on the Pixel 2, than trying to get button presses correct.
If you can hold the button down and reboot it's apparently working physically.

Thanks for quick reply.
Yeah, I enter recovery by "adb reboot recovery", but I have then "No command." screen where I need my power button to skip this screen and enter TWRP.

I've not seen that screen with TWRP, only with the stock recovery.

Interesting. I opened my N7 to check the buttons connector's configuration. Please verify the following:
disconnect the battery and measure pin 1 and 8 with an ohmmeter while pressing the power button - I get <1oHm (short)
reconnect the battery and measure voltage on pin 1 - I get 4.0V
Well?
