Hey
I installed the recent upgrade to my OP 5T and now the phone is not getting switched on, only the 1+ logo appears on pressing the power button and soon after it gets switched off.
I have tried the 'Volume Up + Power' button combination and fastloader screen appears, i tried to enter recovery mode but it just gets switched off after the 1+ logo when i select recovery mode.
OP5T_Unbrick_tool_dumpling ... not working:
The battery is getting charged normally and this is an android upgrade issue. I am a newbie, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
A possibility could be that you tried to do stock update local method through twrp or custom recovery... That's similar to what happened on mine when I did that on the first beta 10 update. If so I flashed latest stock recovery through the fastboot menu by plugging into computer and using ADB fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery" minus brackets and dragged the recovery over and pressed enter.
It appears to do it as the update launched some sort of boot script but can't be carried out without stock recovery leading to a sort of boot loop.
Also I found while trying to fix this if I updated from a ROM where it didn't have treble support or wiped the vendor (I did when panicking lol). I had to firstly install the stock ROM that introduced treble then install the beta 10 update.
Sorry if that was all pointless or irellivent but hope you get ur problem fixed soon.

Hello,
I have here a Desire HD which was running Ice Cold Sandwich. The ROM became unstable, so I wanted to give CM 10.1 a try. This Desire HD was been HTC Dev unlocked, but is still S-ON. So, I can't flash the boot partition from recovery. I rebooted the phone into fastboot and flashed the boot partition. (fastboot flash boot boot.img) I thought it was possible to reboot to recovery with fastboot, but it seems to be not possible. So I did "fastboot reboot". And that's where the misery started...
Although I was able to navigate through the bootloader with the volume rocker, I seem to be unable to boot the device in fastboot nor the recovery. It keeps booting ICS. However, the volume down seems only to work occasionally. Because it's not running the ICS boot.img, it's stuck in a bootloop. When the device is "booting" and I try to reboot the device using adb, I get the message that my computer is not authorised.
I do the following when attempting to boot in fastboot or recovery: (I don't really care if I get the device to boot in fastboot or recovery. I can get the device to work in fastboot or recovery.)
I make sure that the device is turned off completely by removing the battery. Then I hold the volume up (that seems to be the best working one) and after about half a second I press the power button. I hold both until the white HTC screen goes away. I also tried to let the powerbutton go at the moment that the HTC screen appears.
Quick summary:
State of the device:
HTC Dev unlocked.
Running Ice Cold Sandwich.
Recovery is 4EXT.
CM 10.1 boot.img.
Bootlooping.
Not responding when holding the volume button when booting.
Unable to connect to it using adb.
Can someone please, please help me? I'm usually not a noob, but I really f*****d it up this time.
The worst part is: it's not even mine...
I fixed it. The volume rocker seemed to be the problem. I removed the sticker under the battery cover and popped the buttons out. While holding the battery with my left thumb, using my left hand for pushing the volume down button and pushing the powerbutton with my left index finger I got it to boot to the bootloader. Yes, it was pretty awkward. I flashed the ROM from the SD card and it boots.
My problem is solved!

Well that's one of the perks of flashing a 3.xx.xxx.x ROM on 1.xx.xxx.x(4.4.2) firmware. You get to have extremely long boot up times and you won't have a proper working radio which leaves you with no wifi, data, gps, bluetooth...
Your OTA probably didn't work because of a custom recovery, not because it was rooted. Root does NOT prevent OTA updates from installing, though you might lose root access after the OTA.
If you're stuck at Boot screen hold Volume UP + Power button for 10seconds, as soon as the screen goes black press volume Down + Power button to enter into Bootloader.
Flash a custom recovery like TWRP. Go into recovery and restore a nandroid backup for your device.
first thx alot for replaying
i already got TWRP installed but the screen is stock on boot screen but still manage on the back ground to load my current rom as i'm hearing the log in sound of the rom :S

By the look of things you are booted in OS but have no screen, hence why try and hold power button in and randomly tap to shut off?
I told you already to Hold Volume UP + Power button for about 10seconds and then hold volume down + power to enter bootloader.
You can of course also just plug it in and try to reboot to bootloader using adb, if you have USB debugging enabled. adb reboot bootloader
As already said just hold power and volume up for around 12 seconds then immediately press and hold power and volume down. This will always get you into the boot loader.
However if adb is working just use the command above. Reflash the original boot.img and you should be good.

Use that to get back to the stock rom for your phone. Then after installing the right one, get the OTA

Never leave your device with an empty battery. In any circumstances.
Because you might not be able to charge it. Recover the device while you have some power on your battery.
Remember, this is a unibody device. It's not so easy to pull out the battery.
Hey All,
I have recently rooted my Xperia T2 with hopes of entering the wonderful world of customization. However, I cannot enter recovery mode at all. I have exhausted Google looking for a solution prior to registering here. I have tried everything from downloading apps such as Quick Boot to connecting to PC and trying the adb command ''adb reboot recovery'' and ''adb reboot-bootloader'' and of course I have tried the obvious of turning off the phone and then powering back on while holding the power button and volume up key at the same time. Performing that action shows the phone powering on with the Sony screen followed by a black screen where the phone vibrates 3 times and will continue in this loop if I don't release the keys, If I do release them the phone just starts normally. In all cases, that is is what is happening, the phone restarts and boots normally.
I have checked that everything is OK with the rooting that I did via the app Root Checker and and checked bootloader unlocked status via the command ''*#*#7378423#*#*''.
So, there you have it and I just can't understand why I can't enter the recovery mode. My main goal for the moment is to free up some RAM by doing the Link2SD method but without getting into the recovery mode, that seems hopeless.
Hopefully someone here can advise me.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
I can't enter recovery mode too... also already unlocked my bootloader but recovery still unacessible.
See what I did:
(DONE) - Unlocked my bootloader;
(FAIL) - Tryed to root by using KingRoot (2 differrent versions, one that I saw in a tutorial and the newer version - cause I'm using the newer T2 Ultra firmware)
(FAIL) - Tryed to install a custom recovery and as a gift, my T2 started an infinite bootloop.
(DONE) - Fix the boot loop problem...;
(FAIL) - Enter recovery mode and flash a Pre Rooted Firmware;
(DONE) - Searching how to flash a custom recovery again...
(DONE) - Installed a custom recovery (TWRP)...
Now I have another problem... wen a I try to turn It on, It only goes to recovery, and the notification led blinks red and then purple. There's anything I can do to fix It?
The very same problem i am facing now
I wanted to upgrade to higher version of lollipop but not able to get in recovery mode though i have already rooted n installed NDR utils BUT not able to get in recovery mode even via app
Any one who can help US OUT ?? !
I have same problem i can't enter to recovery mode by hold power button and volume + or volume - i try a lot of other combinaison but it doesn't work , help us thanks
I know it's too late for a reply but if u still wandering for how to flash a custom recovery first you need to install one as our Sony phones doesn't come with stock recoveries as mtk and Samsung devices have. Now go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/development/t2-ultra-xzdualrecovery-qa-t2823793 for Complete tutorial on flashing and downloading a custom recovery. I have installed it with no errors
Hello,
I have a problem; I recently tried to root my device running on Android 6.0 sense 7. I unlocked the bootloader and installed Twrp recovery and then flashed SuperSU zip, after that I wiped the cache and rebooted, but now it's stuck in a boot loop, I can't do anything, also I can't adb into the device. It is stuck on the HTC logo with powered by android below it. My pc recognizes the device I think because it makes the sound but when I try 'adb devices' it says list of devices attached and nothing. also fastboot can't seem to find the device. What do I do?
Have you tried restoring a backup or flashing a custom rom?

Hold volume up and power button to restart phone from any hang keep holding the buttons for 5 seconds. Or use volume down + power button and same hold for 5 seconds to go to fastboot

I also had the same issue but what I did is, I let my device to drain the battery, and then I press the Volume Down + Power and plugin the charger and it gets me to Bootloader ^_^ I don't know what your bootloader combination is but just press them before putting the charger. And oh, DO NOT REMOVE THE CHARGER UNTIL YOU ARE FINISHED FLASHING THE boot.img of your ROM.
it's fixed, flashed stock rom and recovery. Thanks guys
I also have the same problem. Can you provide a link to stock rom and recovery PLEASE. Thanks!!
Hi guys,
I just recently bought a Z2 Force EU model (XT1789-06) and thought i better get it unlocked and rooted a.s.a.p.
The first order of work was to boot it up and perform an update to the latest updates available (November 2018, IIRC).
Following the update and after making sure there weren't any more updates, i proceeded to unlock the bootloader using the official Motorola method and it was successful.
I then copied over SuperSU-v2.82.zip to storage and downloaded twrp-3.2.3-2-nash.img to my PC.
I followed this guide in order to run TWRP and root: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-force/how-to/oreo-nougat-how-to-root-z2-t3756669
After installing SuperSU and rebooting the phone, the Motorola logo was displayed and stayed there for a while. I remembered the verbose logs after installing SuperSU syaing that first boot could take a long time.
I didn't risk rushing anything so i left the phone and planned on picking up where i left off the next day. It has now been 14 hours since the phone rebooted and it is still stuck at the Motorola logo.
I have tried to power it down by holding the power key but that does not work. I could only force it to react by holding down vol down + pwr button, then doing the same again to enter the bootloader.
I then tried to do a factory reset by performing the following:
vol down + pwr button > select recovery mode > hold pwr 2 seconds then vol up > Wipe data/factory reset > reboot
I am now back to a stuck boot procedure at the Motorola logo I did some more reading and found many threads explaining the procedure and what to look out for.
It seems like my safest bet now is to avoid SuperSU and install Magisk instead. However, before I attempt to root again, I would like to have the phone boot up normally again.
Would a kind sould please point me in the right direction of a guide that can help me out of this mess?
Please note, I am already using the latest software update version.
EDIT: Software is 8.0.0/OPXS27.109-34-17
fastboot --set-active=other
fastboot reboot
Take the update again then flash magisk after rebooting from the update.
What happens? You are swapping slots back to a working bootable slot, then updating to the latest update to fix the broken slot. Once it is fixed, follow the rooting procedure and flash magisk 16.7 or higher in TWRP and reboot. (Be sure to fastboot boot TWRP and not flash)
