My friend got a MP6900SP, and he tried to download a rom and flash it.
Now the phone is bricked, can't power on.
When connect to PC, nothing happened.
If I press power + volumn down + reset, PC will found a device.
No bootloader screen (tri-color), screen is totally blank.
RUU can't found the phone.
I did some research, but got confused.
Most post are for Verizon phone, not sure if they work the same for spring.
So, I am just checking to see if there's a way to revive my friend's phone.
Thanks all for the help!!
try to update via SD card
search for updating the bootloader via sd and also updating roms via SD
sounds like you may need to try updating the bootloader via SD first
good luck

Have you pulled the battery and let it sit for a minute then put the battery back in and tried to power on?
Blank screen and cant power on? sounds like something far more than bricked from the ROM he tried...
If you can get the screen I would try the suggested route with the flash from bootloader/SD card technique but if you cant get a screen at all no matter what and swapped out batteries as well (have seen a bad battery cause similar issues and may be a coincidence this is happening during a flash attempt)

To enter bootloader:
Power+Camera, then reset. No volume button.

Thank you!!
bootloader mode flash was successfully revived the phone.
Not sure what "power + volumn down + reset" mode is, but PC does show fine a data interface when I press them.
Anyway, thank you all for the help!!
You guys are good!!

i dont know how to put my mp6900sp in bootloader mode i tried the above still doesnt work only the start up screen and then it stays on
I don't know what the OP was saying about the volume button.
But just to be clear: if you are stuck at the bootup screen, having problems connecting and/or need to flash via SD card.....you want to quickly press and hold the top Power button + right side Camera button, then the bottom Reset button. The phone should display the rainbow screen and will say "Serial" on it until you plug the phone into your computer, when it should change to "USB".
For more help see this post and because I recommend an NFSFAN ROM this thread and this thread.
Hi guys. Im pretty experienced with android but this one has me stumped. My buddies brother has a stock/non-rooted optimus g e971 on Rogers. He changed his screen lock password and forgot what it is. Of course he never register a Gmail account so I can't recover that way. I figure no problem. Shut down, pwr+vol down to factory reset. Well nope doesn't work. It flashes the lg logo twice then boots like normal.
Ok so I figure I'll just put it in download mode/fast boot to do the factory reset. Tried pwr+vol up. Nope. Vol up+vol down+pwr. Nope. Vol up+vol down and plug usb+pwr. Nope. It just flashed the lg logo twice then boots like normal. I've tried multiple variations of each holding the pwr for different lengths of time, always with the same result.
Anyone have any suggestions? It's not bricked, and the vol keys are working, it just won't go into any modes.
also I dont know if he has hardware encryption enabled (of if thats even an option on this device) but would that even prevent me from getting into factory reset / download mode?
Also I check that the vol rocker is working. when it is on but screen is off, if i click the vol rocker either way it wakes the screen.
I have a similar problem.Here's a thread I made about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-intl/help/enter-download-mode-t2883542.A couple of guys had some ideas.None worked in my phone but maybe you're luckier.
If you haven't done that already you should try going into download mode by pressing power up+down and plug the cable, don't press the pwr button.
If you find a solution pls let me know .
Yup, you shouldn't need to press the power button for download mode.
First, make sure you have the LG United Mobile drivers installed on the PC you're using. Then plug your USB cable into the PC (not the phone yet). Simultaneously press and hold the Vol +/- buttons, and hold for 10 seconds. Then while still holding the vol buttons, connect the micro usb to the phone.

Doesn't work either. If I hold +/- for 10 sec then plug in the usb it flashes the lg logo twice, then goes to the battery charging screen. If I hold +/- for 20 sec then plug in the usb it flashes the lg logo twice then boots like normal.
after reading this post i went and tried if i also cant get into the recovery and the same happened to me, the LG logo just flashes and nothing happens. mine is stock E975 (4.4.2).
worked for me.

Android has SD card encryption disabled by default - but if it was enabled it shouldnt disable recovery/fastboot - right?
Even if the bootloader is locked, i should still be able to get into fastboot/download mode, and/or recovery, right?

That's what i figured, but i didn't know if there is some quirk with this device i wasn't aware of.
Is it possible i have a corrupt boot loader? Again this device I'd completely stock.
anyone?
I was looking for an old phone to replace my note 3 until i got it fixed and found my mom's old note 2. I was gonna factory restore it, but my mom has forgotten her code and the power button is broken. I can get the phone turned on just fine using the charger. Are there any other ways to reset the phone or just bypass the lock screen?
Unplug Note 2 from charger
Power Off Note 2
Press and HOLD Volume Up & Menu & Power until it prompts to the recovery. .
I havent used the factory recovery in a long time so there might be another screen that will ask you what you would like to do. Just choose Recovery..
To navigate you have to use the Up and Down Vol buttons. (This im not to sure of because I haven't used it in so long)

thank you, but i know about that method. the problem is that the power button is broken. is there any sort of work around?
Do you know if ADB Debugging is turned on. If so you may be able to do this from ADB with or Kies on your Computer.. I know you can on nexus devices.....

Hi,
My phone is getting restarted continuously from the HTC logo screen. Its stuck in a boot loop.
I have not activated developer options in my phone.

Please help.
Thanks in advance

Tighten the two volume buttons and the power button when a black screen appears to hold the volume- button and power, smart mustget into in the loader in the boot loader to choose reboot (assuming that the system is not removed)

The phone is still restarting after selecting reboot also.
Can you boot into recovery?
Most likely you have a corrupted boot or system partition.

I know this is an old thread and was left unsolved quite some time ago. But you must have found a way out yourself after not getting a solution in this forum. Could you share that with me please? I am having the exact same problem!
i have this problem too . please help me
i'm reflash stock frimware but phone boot loop .help plz
I'm having the same problem. any solution guys?
To all who has this problem, please do try to boot into custom recovery (if installed any) and wipe cache and davik-cache. If it still fails, please replug the battery, it should reset the boolean, and if it still fails, an RUU flash is the last resort before hardware issue.
Dear Friends,
if you have same problem with your HTC 820G Duel SIM ( after OTA Update of 6.0.x OS ) please call HTC toll free No. 1800 266 3566 ( Only for India )
even your Hand set is out of warranty,
send Email to them Because when i call to them they say you are only one who is facing this issue ( when i ask then to downgrade my OS to 5.x.x )
service center simply say Mother board problem and ask 9500/- for mother board or 173 /- as diagnostic charges
so please call to get your HTC working with proper OS
my phone is working properly just before 6.0.x OS update....
hope so no. of calls can make them realize real problem with there OS not in hardware
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE YOUR PHONE WORK calling HTC Customer Care Or Email ( i tried every thing posted in this web site but its restarting & looping... for all stock OS and CM13 and All other Nice OS / all recovery TWRP and Flashing tools i used but no luck...
Hello friends.
I got my Pixel XL 2 yesterday and today I'm in trouble already.
I unocked the bootloader, installer twrp and rooted with magik succesfully, but I had trouble installing my apps (titanium backup gave me a parcing error and the googgle play store wanted me to pay again for my purchases for some reason), so I figured I do a factory reset so I get prompted to restore from my old phone via cable. So I went to settings -> factory reset.
The problem is that when android rebooted to erase the data, I instead got dumped into twrp on a screen that says Mount Decrypt Data and is asking me for a lock pattern. But the screen doesn't responds, so I can't proceed. The power hard button just toggles the screen on and off but it does not reboot or turns the phone off when I hold it, so I don't know how to get to my bootloaded to maybe reinstall a factory image or what else to do.
I'm just stuck on that screen without options.
I would very much appreciate any advice.
Hold power, vol up and down buttons until your device turns off.. then go into bootloader by holdind vol down and power
I thank you very much for your reply.
I did booted succesfully into bootloader, but now I'm affraid I jumped from the frying pan into the flame because now my phone doesn't power up at all. If I connect it to the charger I don't get the battery with a lighting bolt that I'm supposed to get. The only life sign I get is if I plug it via USB to my computer, I do get the sound that windows plays when yoy connect something, but other than that, the phone seems to be dead.
I'm guessing it's something with the hardware?

Was the battery low when you started this?
Are you familiar with ADB? When plugged into the computer type adb devices or fastboot devices does it return your device serial number? If so type adb reboot bootoader.
If not I would hold the power button for a good 20-30 second and see if you can force it to turn on or reboot and immediately hold volume down to get back to bootloader.

Did you get anywhere with this? Just curious. I know you're probably upset, we're here to help if we can. :good:
Thank you very much to everyone for your time and help.
Thanks to your advices I was able to solve it. In case anyone ever finds himself or herself out in a similar situation, here's what ended up happening:
After holding the power button for about 30 secs as Namolas sugested the phone did reboot itself and brought me back to that twrp mount decrypt data screen asking me for a lock pattern. It was then just a matter of adb booting to the bootloader and install a factory image as usual.
Thanks again. I appreciate it guys.
