Is this phone Rooted? well try this pull the battery out put it back in, and press and hold volume down button and press power and see if you are able to get into boot loader...
tricky !
two options
1- check bootloader (volume down + power) , if it gets a white screen with options , you can repair the device.
2- if it does not go into bootloader , then first download Htc sync for desire z , setup the android SDK , then plug ur phone inn, in command prompt , type *adb devices* .
If it shows a serial number below List Of Devices , then get back to this forum and report
And the last thing is the power Hardware button fine ?? Although quite impossible , but the hardware power button might be faulty !!

Wasnt able to get into bootloader and nothing showing in abd lol
I unsinstalled and removed the driver that it was showing as when i plugged it in and now it lists itself as QHSUSB_DLOAD
After googling around it says this can be fixed with jtagging, and i know someone who does that so gonna let him take a look lol
And i know the power button is working as it doesnt show up in device manager untill i press it
!
as always JTAG FTW !!
Hello，everyone,i got a problem that i cant enter fastboot and recovery mode.
today ,i installed CM12 22/7 upgrade ,and before i install this ,i did a backup of build.prop because i have V4A and every time i upgrade CM i have to change this build,prop ,so i want make a copy and when i finish upgrade i can just move that file without do anything ,and everything goes well, i installed upgrade and installed V4A driver ,it says i need restart,so i restarted,but after LG logo ,screen turn black, cant enter system ! i thought maybe i flash CM one more time can repair this,so i press POWER and volume down,but,nothing happen ,after LG logo,and screen turn black,and i try to enter fastboot mode ,its the same ,when LG logo shows screen turn black.......
My phone is LG d855,and my English is bad,i hope you can understand
Can anybody help me?
did you try entering Download mode?
Phone stuck in bootloop, help please
wrong trhead
Are you sure you there is no fastboot and no download mode?
You can enter download mode by pressing and holding the “Volume Up” and connecting the USB cable from phone to PC
If it works then you Soft bricked it...And you can use this guide to fix it:

BUT if that does not work then you Hard bricked the phone
I had that problem because of flashing with faulty win8 drivers...no download mode or fastboot, all i got was security warning and bootloop. The only way you can fix hardbrick is through JTag, but i don't know if you can fix it without paying someone money, because you need special hardware to do it. You can find people on ebay that can fix it but it will cost you 30-50$.
I sent mine to warranty...they didn't know what was wrong with it and couldn't fix it...and so they just replaced the motherboard. If you have a warranty then send it and do NOT!! tell them you flashed it or rooted it. Tell them you don't know what happened...The chances of them finding out is very small.
If ebay and/or warranty not work, then there was an article on the Internet to fix a hard brick but for some reason it is now password protected...i do not know why....You can send the owner an email so he can give you the password.

i cant enter download mode,always turn black after LG logo
Disconnect cable from pc and phone
Press power + vol -
You will get first black screen, keep pressing until lg logo appears and it shuts off completely.
Then press just vol + and reconnect cable to computer.
That should leave you in download mode or fastboot.

Hey everyone,
I've got my phone startet now, but I still do need a kind of "backdoor", so I can restart the phone, if the button stops working again or if I loose this small plastic-piece again.
Furthermore it would be really cool if I would not have to dismantle the phone to turn it on
First of all I thought about ADB, but ADB doesn't recognize my device anymore.
I don't know why. My USB-Debugging is (and was) activated, but the PC isn't authorized yet (since it doesn't recognize the ADB it won't ask me for permission).
How can I fix this? I already tried to restart (pc and device), reinstall the drivers and kill/start the sever. Nothing worked.
But I'm also open for new ways.
I thought of some possibilities:
1. Change the "action_on_power_plug_connect": Is there a way to change the action my phone does execute when the power plug is connecting? Right now it's just starting to charge mode.
2. Boot on shedule/remote: Is there any app, which got the power to boot the phone, even if it is completely shut down?
I'm thankful for every single advice you can give me here.
Sincerly,
maj0r_tom

Hello everyone,
I've just repaired the broken display of my old Oppo Find 7.
Everything worked fine but one thing: The power button does not respond anymore.
It's a small piece of plastic, held in place by a bridge of metal.
When I press it onto the "sensor", it doesn't seem to recognize it.
Everything else is working perfectly - connecting a power source makes the phone start into loading mode.
Is there any way to start the phone without the physical button?
Maybe something beyond fastboot?
Or do you think that any phone-repair shop could help me there?
Sincerly,
maj0r_tom
Edit: The Volume Buttons do not work, too.
I've tried ADB. I could swear, that USB debugging is enabled (used Titanium Backup, it's asking for it on startup).
But ADB does tell me, that the phone is unauthorized.
Edit 2: Volume buttons repaired.
Edit 3: I got it.
The buttons didn't break - they just lost a small piece - a very ****ing small piece.
I did see it dropping from my Vol+ button and could insert it into the power button.
The phone startet, Debugging was enabled. Do I have to check anything else to activate ADB?
Hello, i don't know if my problem is the same but i have the power button don't work too. For restart my phone, i press VOL- when I charged the phone. He boot in recovery and next i reboot system. If a hardware solution is possible, tell me.

Hi, I think that an alarm application in ColorOS was able to start the phone if you had alarm setup.
But I'm sure this only applies to the ColorOS native alarm application, so no third party apps....

I have had same problem. I am not expert at all but can suggest you to check out your phone mother board. Problem might be there. Nothing will work if your phone motherboard is out of function. Thanks
Good morning,
When I start my tablet, I remain stuck on the LG logo ...
I can't connect my Pc with lg pc suite or Lg mobile support tool or flashtool.....
Can you help me please ?
Thanks
Edit 07/05 : i got the message on boot ; Secure booting error! Cause : boot certification verify

I just went thru this with my a G Pad 8.0, had quite a few hangups but I ended up figuring it out. Some suggestions from what I learned... :
- Fully charge up your tablet. Mine was charging extremely slow, so I left it plugged in overnight and that finally ended up doing the trick.
- Make sure you have the correct driver installed. If you go to LG's website and find their downloads section, you can search for your device and download its driver. I'm pretty sure their tablet driver isn't device specific, but so if you have any difficulty finding this, let me know and I can post the one that worked for me. After you download the file, don't forget to open and install it. While you're there, you can I'd just go ahead and re-download and reinstall their mobile support tool, just to make sure you've got the most current update. After it installs, open the program; I don't know if you have to, please let but I'd have it open and waiting before you do these next steps.
- Completely power off your device. Unplug it from the wall and turn it off. I found that if I just held down the power button until the screen went dark, my tablet 3would restart itself a few seconds later. But when I kept holding down the power bites dxton thru the reset, it would turn off a 2nd time and actually stay off (about 15sec or so).
- In order to run LG's support tool, you'll wanna boot into download mode. You can search for your device online and it should explain how to do this, I found a couple conflicting methods but I believe the one that worked for me was just by holding the volume up key and then plugging it in to your PC with a USB. If that doesn't work, try pressing the volume up and power keys together then plugging it in, or try pressing both of the volume keys. One of those 3 should have you entering download mode. It will take a few seconds after you attach the cord for you to boot up; keep holding down the keys you pressed until you see the download mode screen. When plugging it in, but I it might be easier to keep holding down the buttons if you start with the cord plugged into your powered off device, and and then plug the other end into your PC while you are doing the boot process. It shouldn't matter which end you connect last, and I found this method to be way less awkward.
- The LG mobile support tool should automatically recognize your device and automatically start the update, and but you might need to select your device yourself, or at least the service provider, in order to update correctly. Just DON'T unplug your tablet thru the entire process. I think the whole thing took me about 15 minutes, depends on your Internet speed really.
- if you've managed to successfully run the update and you're still stuck in a boot loop, you're gonna have to reset your device. Again, you can Google how to do this, but I think most LG's perform a hard reset by making sure the phone is turned off, then press and hold the power and volume down keys. When the LG logo appears, release the power key for a second while still holding down the volume key, and then press and hold power down again until you see the reset screen. Use your volume and power keys to factory reset your device.
Hopefully, now it is should be able to boot just fine! Let me know if you encounter any problems and I'll see what I can do to help.
Hi, thanks for your help sheebie, i'll try asap .

Hi,
my Philips 48PFS8109/12 made problems for a long time already when trying to power it on: it needed several attempts to cut off the power, reconnect the power and let it try to boot, cut off the power and reconnect again, etc.
Sometimes it entered the famous boot loop, sometimes it freezed, showing the Philips logo on screen, sometimes it only enabled the Philips logo on the camera and the screen remained black.
Over time it got worse: the more and more power cycles were needed to let it successfully boot.
But now it seems to be dead forever: most of the times it remains black now, only sometimes the logo appears on screen and I didn't managed to get it to boot successfully again.
Repair costs are around 500€ and would result in different features, due to no availability of the original hardware.
I tried everything I found on the internet to try to recover it:
- Let it boot to safe mode, a) using the joystick button on the back with pressing it in every direction and directly for over a minute when connecting the power, b) using the remote control OK and power buttons for the same time
- Let it boot from a FAT USB stick containing a) the wipe data tool, b) the firmware upgrade package, either in root directory, or in an "upgrades" subdirectory
- Connect it via USB A-to-A cable, and try to connect to it via "adb" command
Nothing helped/worked.
Problem is, that I am unable to enable any developer settings, as I am unable to get it running at all.
Question to the community: is there any other possibility to rescue the device (e. g. access the Android storage without the need to power it on, any secret way to clean the internal storage via hardware access/shortcut of some contacts)?
Its such a pity, the other hardware is so excellent, its just the Android system (or what Philips degenerated it to) that prevents the system from running.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I had the same problem, let me explain what I do :
- Unplug power cable. Boot to safe mode using the joystick button on the back only with down arrow (without pressing it)
- Wipe data partition
- Flash the rom
- Flash android with the last update
- reboot

Hi,
thank you for your answer. As I wrote, I already tried this in the past.
But I tried it again now and it still doesn't works. I hold the button for approx. 15 minutes, but it does not boot into safe mode. It only shows the Philips logo after some times, then goes black again. At the beginning it took long a time to first show the logo (approx. 1,5 minutes) and the logo was diplayed approx. 8 seconds, then later on the cycles got shorter and shorter. At the end, the logo was displayed for a second only.
Does s. o. knows if it is possible to just use the display? E. g. take some old Android hardware and connect it to the display only?
I don't want to throw this thing away, as the hardware is so excellent.... :cyclops:
Hi,
maybe the hardware upgrade kit is a solution for you:

Hi and thanks for these informations.
This definitely is an option for me!
I already visited a certified Philips repair center and they offered me to replace the hardware which costs approx. 500 € all in all. I asked them for giving me the hardware to let me replace it on my own, but they denied it in answering that the new hardware has to be programmed, which is too complicated for an end user.
Using your informations, I will evaluate if this would be a doable approach for me.
Hi,
this "programming" is very easy... just putting 2 files on USB and start the TV... And 500 EUR is way to much... you should get it below 300 EUR.
