Does anybody know what the button combo is to boot into recovery? I'm able to successfully able to boot in by using "adb reboot recovery", but trying all combinations of the power and volume buttons won't boot into recovery mode and will just boot the phone normally. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Someone posted in another thread, but Iirc it was like turn the phone off, the press volume up and plug in the USB or something like that.. Maybe it was power down, try both

Yeah that worked. USB + up boots recovery and USB + down boots to bootloader.

I was trying to figure this out myself. Thanks for posting. It's the first phone I've had with this combo. Strange.... I guess this means we have to lug a cable around everywhere.
I've tried to use Vol Up + USB bout no dice in my Razer Phone, may that be connected to carrier firmware as I have Three UK one?

If it's unlocked, it shouldn't matter what carrier you're on (I'm on T-Mobile in the US and bought it carrier unlocked). Make sure the phone is plugged in first then turn it off. Once it's off, press the volume up and it should begin to boot into recovery.

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.
Hello everyone.
I apologize for my bad English.
My Htc is dead and will not turn on. I make a list with the details hoping someone can help me.
** The phone will not turn on and the display remains black.
**The phone does not emit any sound and makes no vibration.
**If I connect the charger the phone is charging properly. You turn on the red light and after 10/15 seconds the green one.
**If I connect the phone to the PC 4 devices are recognized but one is not installed. (Attach photo)
**Try and try again to connect the phone to the PC on one occasion, the display has flashed 3 times and for a split second it appeared the inscription HTC.
---- List of tests done:
*I tried to hold down the power button for several seconds (10 to 40).
*I tried to press both volume keys and the power button.
*Replaced FLEAT the power button.
I really hope that someone can help me!!
Thank you!! Thank you!!

You never stated what happened to get your device in the state it is and i'm just assuming you did something to brick it, so here
So firstly you need to get the drivers for your device installed.
my advice download WinDroid Universal HTC Toolkit v1.1. It will allow you to easily know if your pc is recognising your device.
Once that is done you need to get your device changed sufficiently.
Go to http://www.hackmyandroid.com/comprehensive-guide-on-unbricking-the-htc-one-x/4216 and follow the instructions.
Charge HTC One X in Fastboot Mode section from the link should help you charge your device
With the ADB folder where it should be on your computer C drive and your device plugged in and recognized, charging shouldn't be a issue
this should cause your device to restart repeatedly until it reaches about 10% battery
I advice once you have completed the charging of your device to the 10% mark that you continue on to the Unbrick the HTC One X as well as the Restoring the nandroid backup sections. You can always install a custom rom like CM11 or a sense based rom instead of doing restoring a nandroid backup
Hopefully your device will be up and running
Goodluck and let me know how it went.
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.

Hey People,
maybe someone of you can help me.
I made a normal Update of my Phone 5 days ago after the Update my Phone went off and now it shows a Blue Screen with the Information that something went wrong while the Update.
I tried to repair it with the Smart Switch Pc Software but it don't worked.
I gave it to the store where i bought it but they want that i pay for the fix. Honestly i didn't tried to root it because i needed it for work.
Had someone that issue and can help me how i can fix that by myself?
Kind Regards
Saint
yes you probably can fix it easy
connect your phone to a pc with the usb cable
hold vol- and power to force the phone to reboot.
when the phone shut down, rapidly hold vol+ and vol- .the phone should enter download mode
use odin software to upload the latest firmware of your phone
download mode

That's because only the first part is needed. Just turn off your phone normally and then turn it on simultaneously pressing Volume Down and Power.
It finally worked after....

Thanks for your reply. I did as you suggested but that gave me a normal boot. I tried as someone else suggested, pressing power+UP volume and that did finally get me to recovery mode! Played around with that for half hour

Has anyone figured out yet how we're going to get into "Recovery Mode" now with the "Bixby Button" missing? I used to "Clear Cache" weekly and thought of it this morning... don't dare experiment and "Brick" a brand new phone - hoping someone with insider info had some data on the subject? Thanks in advance!!!

Hello guys
Im in the same situation, i cannot boot anymore in the stock Recovery mode.
I booted one before, then i changed CSC with Samkey and i flashed lastest unbranded firmware with Odin. All the processes were successful without problems but the combination Volume Up + Power doesn't work anymore, i tried every combinations.
After booted up normally despite holding the Recovery combination keys, in the homescreen a grey pop up say to me: [PDP] Back-up file detected.
My Note is an SM-N986N - Snapdragon
Any suggest ?
Thanks
You must connect to pc with usb cable and then try
Same here! HK version N9860
Haven't test on it via USB to PC
after update to android 11, the phone must connect usb-C to either pc or ear phone, then power n vol up.
I confirm last statement. I've updated to Android 11 and spent more than 20 minutes trying to go to both recovery and download mode. Only way i managed with by plugging in my earphones... thank you seanmcs
Didn't work for me in first place. holding power (bixby) + volume up just restarted my device. i connected the phone with PC and tried same thing and it worked.
I am using note 20 Ultra (Exynos version) with One UI 3.0
