Hey guys I really need help here. I have no clue how but my phone into some weird mode displaying the message in the title. I have a stock Nexus and didn't try to flash or anything like that.
I tried everything on the internet but nothing seems like its working. I am a real noob and need any advice. Is there a way to get the phone back to normal without having to unlock it, root or something like that?
you most likely turned it on without realizing that your fingers are on the volume down and power at the same time. try pulling the battery and turn on the phone again

You put your phone into download mode somehow.
At least, if your title is what your talking about.....then yea, your in download mode.
If you didn't flash anything....try just pulling the battery and restarting the phone.
I tried that. Nothing is working; the phone gets stuck on the google logo and then the logo itself goes and comes back really quickly then the phones turn off. When the phone turns off it takes 10 mins to get it up again!! No clue...
Now the phone won't turn on.

The phone isn't turning on anymore
Is the battery now dead? Will the phone turn on when its plugged in?
I got back to the same screen now, I removed the battery and phone won't even turn off. It's stuck on the same screen even without the battery??? what's going on?
Update: Ok the phone turned off and then I tried to turn it on. It goes to the Google logo and then the screen goes blank.

Can you get to the bootloader?
Vol. Down + vol. Up and power together.
If so then you'll be fine. Just flash a factory image.
There are a few threads that will go through the process in more detail than I am willing to at 6:08am!
Is there a way to take my photos and contact from the phone while it's in the downloading mode or any other way before I flash it. Or am I screwed? I don't have my stuff synced with google+

If the phone doesnt completely reboots to android, I dont think you can get your photo's.
Can you still get in fastboot mode?
my phone is doing the same thing, the downloading screen. I am totally stock, and i can easily turn my phone on and off except i wanna get into bootloader to flash CWM recovery and i cant do so because this screen is popping up.

Are you able to boot into the OS? Or it's only giving you download mode no matter what?
Do you have adb set up if yes adb reboot boot loader that will boot you into the boot loader screen

he can if adb is already running on the system. seems to be that he can't.
@op, if you're stuck on download mode, try odin (damn i really hate suggesting it); i was trying to see if heimdall supports our device, have yet to find proof.

Is there a big green outlined arrow box at the top of your screen that says start, and it points to your power button? If so you are just at the Odin screen instead of your boot loader screen. You get here by just holding vol down and power instead of of holding both vol up/down and power which would bring you to the bootlloader. Also your phone obviously needs to be off before doing either of these. If in fact you are at the Odin screen simply push power and your phone will boot.

It sounds like your volume-down button might be stuck in the pressed-down position (or just shorted out). If that is the case, every time you try to turn your phone on, you will see the screen you described. You can try pressing the volume buttons many times to see if you can get the volume-down button unstuck. If you can't, you can replace the buttons fairly cheaply.
Of course, it could be caused by something else entirely, but that's what it seems like to me.

If the vol-down button is stuck, try booting it up with both up and down held. You might be able to get either recovery or bootloader.

Its working fine now. Except when I flash CWM, vis cmd prompt like I usually do, I can only go unto cem right away and then once I boot up into the os and turn the phone off to get into recovery stock recovery comes back.

Has anybody else had this problem where when ever you power off your one x it instantly powers on and boots up again... every time? I've tried fastboot erase cache but to no avail. I can't turn the damned thing off! Grrrrr!!
I'm on the latest clockwork recovery with paranoid android jb rom. Anyone got any ideas to what could possibly be causing this?
reflash your rom.
are you pressing for 10 seconds power button?
if so, it's normal because you reboot phone, not turn it off, to turn it off you must use OS buttons
my guess is your fastboot is on, thats makes the device boot up in no time

Thanks... You gave me an idea. I've switched to viperX and switched fastboot 'on' and now my HOX actually turns off! When it's 'off' the problem still remains though.
I'm now wondering if my problem lies within the bootloader...?

Hold down the power botton +vol. up for about 20 seconds. When the screen goes black switch holding vol. up to holding in vol. down.
You should boot into fastboot.

If you're not on 4.4.4 firmware you should update to it. It's already a well known fact that running ROMs with out dated firmware WILL result in excessively long bootup times(10mins + ) .

Press volume UP and Power for 10seconds, once the screen goes dark immediately press Volume Down to go into bootloader.

Then just try it again.
Did it actually start up again or just shut itself off? if so you can still just press Volume Down + Power to get into bootloader.

Once it reboots you won't really be able to get in, well I couldn't when I tried. As soon as the screen goes dark you should immediately have the volume down key pressed, I'm talking about a second at most in between.
If the phone is completely off it's easy enough to just hold volume down and power for a couple of seconds until it goes into bootloader. When you do the hard reset you have to hold the power button and slide down to volume down quickly before it boots up.
You didn't still have fastboot checked in the settings did you?

OH SH*T! I still have mine checked. It doesn't work any more for me (normal boot times), but I haven't been unchecking it when messing with stuff because I'm not realizing/ forgetting that it is on.
I should probably fix that before I get myself into trouble.:good:

I'm just curious, was your phone fully charged when you were flashing the ROM? It sounds like a battery problem, but I could be wrong.
Always make sure you have lots of battery before flashing anything. The way it won't stay on is really weird. You could try the ROM's forum. Maybe you might find an answer there. Sorry.

Stuff like this is why "technical support" is the way that it is.
OK, so we have no idea what you did since you're not telling us. Help us help you.
How long are you letting it sit and reboot (and leave it plugged into the charger)? The phone will do this after RUU, give it 20 mins or so before interacting with the device. To reach download mode, hold the power button and volume down button, after phone vibrates, release the power button and after menu displays, release volume down button. If this doesn't work, hold all three buttons until after back/recent buttons blink and device reboots.
What--EXACTLY--did you do before this happened? Which variant is your phone? Version? File(s) you used?
