To my "pleasant" surprise my Ta-1045 Nokia 6.1 seems to have died while I was at work. It functioned when I arrived at work, there are a number of apps the company has on our phones, and when I pulled it out later to send my boss a message the screen was on and in download mode.
I've tried the volume button up (and down) with power button. It reset back into download mode. I got it home, plugged it in, and tried setting up ADB/Fastboot. All the drivers throw Code 10. I've tried ADB drivers, intel adb drivers, old nokia adb drivers. I did not have the phone in USB/Debugging mode when it died. Curiously, device manager does recognize 'Fastboot Device" whenever I unplug/plug in the phone. But when I use fastboot devices or devices -l I get nothing. And yes, the usb cables are good to go. They have transferred data to/from the device in the past, but I changed up cords and ports to be sure.
My googlefu is coming up short on this one. Anyone know a solution? Short of buying a new phone that is. Win 10 machine here.
Thanks.
If your computer recognizes a Fastboot device, and your bootloader is unlocked, you may give this a shot: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77411700.
Otherwise you can try to factory reset your phone via stock recovery (reboot while plugged by pressing vol-up + power, without releasing vol-up iirc ?) When you get the blackscreen with a dead robot, just press power (sometimes a few times, sometimes with vol-up/down simultaneously, it's kinda buggy) and you're good to go
This will really help. It will erase your data. But your mobile will be back again without going to service center.

ur device is hard bricked.... Only solution... short motherboard to enter EDL mode

So Here are the steps
1. My bootloader got unlocked.
2. I Installed factory preloader and lk images.
3. Rebooted to Fasboot and flashed TWRP 3.3.1-0924 by wzsx150 (the only Android 9 recovery that didn't get removed immediately after flashing and rebooting for 1st time to get to recovery).
4. Formatted Data, Closed AVB 2.0 and Signed TWRP.
5. Rebooted to Fastboot and flashed stock EEA Android 9 (11.0.3.0) from Global (11.0.6.0) and reflashed factory preloader and lk.
6. Rebooted to recovery, Formatted Data, Closed AVB 2.0 and Signed TWRP.
7. Using ADB sideload from Twrp Installed EEA Android 10 (11.0.2.0).
8. Rebooted into fastboot Installed Updated TWRP-3.3.1-1210 (by wzsx150).
9. Rebooted into fastboot and flashed misc.bin from same zip (according to bat file inside it should get flashed after recovery but I forgot.)
10. BRICKED. Booted to Redmi logo for 3 seconds and rebooted infinitely.
This type of brick in 4pda.ru according to google translate can be mitigated by letting battery drain and then enter DA download mode using SP Flash Tool.
I've Used the tool several time so I thought Okay no big deal.
So This is what I tried:
11. Pressed download button
12. Connected USB Cable to phone.
13. Device pauses a second (Probably for SP Flash Tool to respond) then doesn't enter DA (Unlike previous times) and screen brighten for a second or two but then turns off and repeats this process forever.
I've been using Drivers provided by Microsoft Update Catalogue but tried all the drivers on 'MTK Usb Driver v1.0.8' and 'Mediatek_Driver_Auto_Installer_1.1352.00' after disabling Driver Signature Enforcement. but even though drivers are installed they don't get loaded and after force installing them in add legacy drivers they are their but have yellow triangles and their Location lists as 'Unknown' and status as 'This device cannot start. (Code 10)'. Tried Removing them after adding them as a site suggested but that didn't work either.
I learned the hard way to never mismatch partitions with this phone. I thought having the factory preloader and lk1/2 would protect me but no.
When you say brick, do you mean you have a completely black screen with only the notification LED turning on when you plug it in?
Grab a bootable Linux image and use that on a USB stick to eliminate the driver issue you're having. Interface is identical

So I tried Ubuntu. Problem isn't from Drivers. It's because my Windows or linux didn't ever got a chance to enter fastboot so they can load preload drivers properly.
In Windows, Mediatek USB Port is the only driver that get loaded, and that for only an instant then it disappears in Device Manager.
In Linux according to this Tutorial everything is fine but SP Flash Tool gives me a " ERROR : STATUS_ERR (-1073676287) , MSP ERROE CODE : 0x00. "
Based on this chinese site I should find my Vendor Id and Product Id specific to my system (or is it my chipset?) and then change some files but how do I get linux to recognize mediatek usb device first when It needs to enter fastboot for that to happen.
Is there any way to manually add it?
EDIT: So After some reading I realized that I have to get my phone to fastboot first to get the drivers recognized. In windows as far as I know there is no way for manually adding 'Location' to Drivers. what about Linux?
I think you're talking about a soft-brick and I'm talking about a hard-brick. If you can get to fastboot, it's a soft-brick.
Hold the volume down and power buttons simultaneously for 1min and see if your screen changes.
Don't worry about the Linux drivers, if your phone is in the correct mode, it'll work.
I don't think it's a Soft-Brick (unless Hard-Brick means even the display not turning up at all), Holding them for a minute with battery charged doesn't do anything. As soon as it boots back up it starts getting caught in Booting until Redmi logo and staying there for 2-3 seconds then reboots. I tried to hold Volume Down + Power for 3 minutes while caught in this bootloop but no fastboot. I'll retry when battery discharges again. first without usb cable attached then with.
Thanks for taking time to work this through with me. Nowadays with all service centers being closed it's really a nightmare to have something you need on internal storage and not being able to access it. First thing I'll do after this is to buy a 128GB SD card to store the important stuff.
By the way should I just use the Live Ubuntu or Install it to see if the problem is from being a live image.
When I hard bricked my phone, I didn't have anything but that white led when I plugged it in. If you have the redmi logo, should mean there is hope. I've only ever entered DA mode when I had a hard brick.
This might be one of those situations where letting the battery drop to 0% would allow you to access fastboot. MiFlash only works in fastboot and DA mode I believe. What happens when you hold volume up and power for a minute while plugged in to your computer? Run "ADB devices" to start the adb service first
I doubt it would make a difference live to installed, but it's your call if you have the time.
With Phone in Bootloop mode Holding Either Vl+ and Power or Vl- and Power doesn't make a difference.
With Phone Off and USB detached It's the same.
With USB attached Vol+ and Power for over 3 Mins result in Device Manger listing 'Mediatek USB Port' for as long as display remains 'dark but bright' (for 2-3 seconds then shuts down and turns itself back on). removing it when phone suddenly shuts down. when USB is detached phone remains shutdown.
With USB attached Vol- and Power for over 3 Mins result in Phone's Display Brightening for 5 seconds no device listing in Device Manager nor entering fastboot or being recognized by adb or fastboot (set on a permanent re-checking by a cmd script). then phone shuts itself down and back on.
LED situation:
With Vol+ and Power with USB attached LED when phone is Off is Fullbright. When Display Brightens It turns off.
With Vol- and Power with USB attached LED when Phone is Off Blinks Once Fullbright and then remains Semi-bright whether phone is on until shutdown and the Blinks Fullbright again.
I Live in Iran and with sanctions there is no way to pay anyone overseas. Unless they're willing to risk accepting cryptocurrencies from an Iranian , my only chance if I can't work it out is to wait till unofficial service centers here open.
Your phone only being detected for 5 seconds is supposed to happen. It checks for a signal from so flash and if it doesn't see it, drops off.
I'm not sure paying someone to remotely flash your phone will work if SP Flash isn't even trying or detecting your phone. With mine, it would detect and try to flash (red bar sitting at 100%) before throwing an error.
Try letting your battery die, if that doesn't work, maybe the test point mod will work. Otherwise, I think your only option is a service center.
I was clearing the sde partitions and my phone suddenly went blank and it is not starting any more.
if I plug it to the laptop it shows charging symbol and "press any key to shutdown" message on left top corner.
It is not getting detected as qualcom or anything it is not booting to bootloader. sometimes it is showing tmobile boot image.
Phone model XT1789-04
Please help , how can blankfash and get the bootloader back? how to go to EDL mode from here ?

Can you please suggest a way to get into bootloader ? because currently whenever I switch on phone it shows tmobile logo(boot screen) and nothing happens and there is a message in left top corner "press any key to shutdown" . I tried to switch it on with volume down and power key but nothing happens blank screen.
Also it is not getting detected on my laptop not even as unknown device.

Make sure you're using a 2.0 port from your mobo, not a hub and not a 3.0+ port.
Unplug your phone and try entering these commands one at a time, you might need to unplug before each command.
This all depends on whether you had your bootloader unlocked, adb enabled, etc. You put yourself in a weird state.
Unplug, open cmd prompt and enter
fastboot reboot bootloader it should say waiting for device
plug in your phone and hopefully it'll get you there. If not, repeat above and try
adb reboot bootloader
following the same procedure
fastboot reboot recovery
like above
adb reboot recovery
Hopefully one of those will get you somewhere where you can try to reflash the phone, factory reset, whatever it takes.
Since your pc doesn't recognize your device... who knows.
Last resort
Fastboot oem blankflash
If that works you should be ready to blankflash

Yes bootloader was unlocked and adb was enabled also phone was rooted.
I am trying what you have suggested but its not working till now. I tried on USB 2.0 ports and 3.0 as well but nothing happens. neither blankflash executes nor any of fastboot or adb commands executes.
will linux OS help ?

Never hurts to try, the thing is your phone is in some limbo state and your pc doesn't doesn't see it. I can't imagine that linux will help much. Have you tried holding the power button for a minute or so? I don't know what the sde partition is honestly, but obviously you shouldn't have messed with it. What lead you to that partition and what exactly did you do?
You might uninstall your moto drivers, adb drivers, and fastboot drivers and see if plugging your phone in will detect on your pc as new hardware. Might try installing qualcomm diag drivers to see it it will recognize your phone. I afraid that until your pc sees it, any command is pointless since it can't communicate with your phone.

SDE are mobile partitions and I was trying to delete modem partitions as I had installed pie modem on my device and I might have accidentally deleted the bootloader partition or something like that.
after holding power button for a minute nothing happens same screen appears and disappears as I have attached in my previous reply.
is there a button combination which can direct this device in edl mode?
laptop is not reading my device yet, I tried different laptops different ports and different cables. linux is also not reading the device.
please let me know if you know any way I can boot this in edl mode to blankflash. I tried that cable way green and black cable short thats not working either on this device.

There is no key combo as far as I know to enter edl mode on this phone, and most likely it wouldn't solve your problem. You flashed pie modems on a TMO device, that has been done before and no one has been able to recover from that. Even if you were to somehow get your phone booting, you wouldn't have a baseband or any cell service.

While if the OP is correct, and the problem is that they replaced their bootloader, then that's exactly what edl mode is for. However, you're definitely right that there's no key combination. I've been trying to get my moto into edl for days. I even got the battery to die. It just makes other diagnostics more annoying when I need to charge. So far, from what I can tell, the MSM8998 in a Z2 force first of all plays by different rules, uses a different programmer, and is generally not going to respond to the stock "qualcomm unbrick" tutorials. If it gets into edl, then you might be able to blankflash. But I guess keep trying different things, from what I've read the drivers and usb ports are finicky even with phones where this is known to work. It is not known to work with TX1789, at least not with the ease it works in other snapdragon phones. It's actually a massive security vulnerability (if it works it allows arbitrary read/write from the lowest level of the chain of trust, bypassing most security by default. It's a total backdoor), it's just unfortunate we're on that side of the fence. It doesn't have to be that way, but it was designed to see all unsigned software as equally malicious.

Does anybody have any new suggestion how I can get into EDL mode?
my phone is still stuck on to the screen where it says press any key to shutdown. It doesn't get detected at all on any USB port or with different cables.
Does anybody know if there are any EDL short points on motherboard or deep flashing cable?
although I tried cutting regular USB C cable for trying to short the two cables and force put it in edl mode but nothing worked yet.
If anybody has any suggestion please throw some light.
I searched and didn't see anything that relates to my specific problem.
I have a 1952-4 that I rooted per instructions on here (Magisk). I dropped it and broke the screen about 9 months ago and just fixed it today...and I can't remember my pattern. I'm up to 50 tries, so now I have to wait 120 seconds before it lets me try the next one.
Since the root process requires you to reboot recovery for root, doing that just sends it to the normal lock screen. When I hit Vol Down/Power, my options on the bootloader screen are:
-Start
-Restart Bootloader
-Recovery Mode (restarts it, sends to lockscreen)
-Power Off
-Factory Mode (restarts, sends to lockscreen)
-Barcodes
-BP Tools (restarts, back to lockscreen)
-QCOM (restarts, back to lockscreen)
-Bootloader Logs
-Switch Tools Mode (enables/disables "Tool Mode Config" option on the bootloader screen)
My computer beeps the "something USB has been plugged in" chime when I connect it, but it doesn't pull up in File Explorer (unless it's off, but just shows that a USB drive has been connected but won't pull up anything when I click on it), nor can I connect through ADB. It's not a cable/USB port issue either as ADB finds my Note 8 when I plug it in and check via "adb devices."
Can't wipe it via Find my Phone either because it's been 270 days since my account pinged the phone, so it just shows up as "Android" device.
Any suggestions on how to either get my computer/ADB to recognize it (with root) so I can just delete the lock database, or how I can factory reset it? Am I forgetting a reboot option?
Thanks in advance.

Window 10?
Yeah. It should remember this phone, since I used this computer to root it when I first got it a year and a half ago.
I used a different cable and got it to pick up the phone (as an unknown device) in Windows but NOT ADB, and the phone to realize it was connected (see last line on phone screen) but they're not talking.
If I boot it all the way up, either regular or recovery (root), it doesn't show at all on my computer.
Like I said, I'd be fine with wiping it, but can't even get to that option.
Install the moto drivers. If that doesn't work then make sure your using a usb2 port and not a usb3 port as its a known issue with moto phones.
I just ordered a new OEM cable.
Also ordered an OTG cable to see if I can force it to startup into a different mode that'll allow me to do something with it.
I'll update this thread once I'm able to test them out.
I got a new cable. My USB ports are not labeled, and my Moto drivers reinstalled.
After rebooting to the recovery screen, I plugged it in and apparently I have fastboot. I checked the bootloader logs and it says:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)
Fastboot Reason: Volume down key pressed
USB connected
Windows doesn't pick up anything connected by USB. I can't restart to get root because then adb doesn't pick up the phone either because of the screenlock preventing me from hitting ok to trust my computer.
I'm asking the following because I can't find answers: Can you delete the screen lock file with the only bridge being fastboot, not adb. How can I do a factory reset if rebooting to recovery is our normal way of turnin gon the device with root access? Or would reflashing something work?
command line commands are a perishable skill and it's been a couple years since I did this stuff.
Thanks in advance.
To recap, I either need to be able to get into the directory to delete the pattern lock, or factory reset the phone.
I've tried the pattern lock 79 times, which means I have to wait 300+ seconds between tries. I think an error is causing that though.
Fastboot is my only option at this point as far as using commands goes. Rebooting recovery just reboots it with root permissions, but neither adb or Windows 10 picks it up. Using a brand new factory cord and tried every USB port on my computer, even the USB-C to USB-C. But I can't find anywhere that shows how to get into the directory using fastboot.
In Device Manager, I've been getting an error with Android ADB Interface (The device cannot start; Code 10). I uninstalled, reinstalled various drivers, killed adb.exe, etc., Still happening.
HOWEVER, Motorola ADB Interface is working just fine and goes away when I unplug my phone, returns when I plug it in. Only when it's in recovery/fastboot mode though.
I got into Safe Mode, but computer won't pick it up.
I can't get into Field Test Mode. I did reboot it into something else. I don't know what, but the screen was off and the home button was illuminated. EDL mode? I don't know. Neither my computer or adb read that anything was attached, and i can't figure out how I did it.
I also tried sideloading some pattern lock removers, but apparently you can't do that in fastboot.
Thoughts?
Just to close this out with a solution: I had forgotten that in order to get to the recovery menu, you have to hold the buttons when you reboot recovery. Didn't realize that until I was rooting my Moto e6.
Factory reset complete. No more pattern lock. Though since I've now tried rooting it 4 times with 4 different images and have not succeeded even though I had root before all this, I wish I could have realized the above and possibly gotten in and deleted the gesture.
Lesson learned.
Hold what buttons? I'm afraid I'm in same spot.

Just found this. Timing is everything apparently.
Press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously until the Android Recovery screen appears.
Press the Volume Down button to navigate to Recovery.
With Recovery displayed, press the Power button.
When you see the 'Droid' with 'No Command,' hold Power and tap Volume Up just once and immediately release both buttons.
Scroll to wipe data/factory reset by pressing the Volume Down button
Press the Power button.
Scroll to YES by pressing the Volume Down button.
Press the Power button.
The 'phone will wipe all contents.
Press the Power button.
The 'phone will now reboot to the initial setup screen.
Hi All,
Apologies if this has already been covered somewhere but I've been scouring the internet for most of the day and come up with nothing.
tldr: My Pixel 6 Pro has been running absolutely fine for 9 months, no issues what so ever through all the automatic updates, I powered it off this morning to apply a new screen protector went to turn it back on and its been stuck in fast boot since with every option that can be selected returning to the same screen. Not been fiddled with, no root nor boot loader unlock.
Simply turned it off put the screen protector on turned back on and it has been stuck in fast boot ever since with a list of things below I have tried;
Restarted, no change straight back to fastboot.
Recovery Mode, no luck same as 1.
Rescue mode and using googles update/repair tool, cannot connect result is the same as number 1.
Restart bootloader, no luck same as 1.
Flashed barcode setting on and off (i know), device state & NOS Production some times change see non error image.
Flashing via android flash tool, boot loader locked wont allow. 'error getting device locked state -1'
Using force options confirms bootloader needs unlocking.
Connected to fastboot.exe on pc.
fastboot devices, correctly recognises the device is connected.
fastboot set_active a, FAILED (remote: 'error getting device locked state -1') message.
fastboot set_active a --force, same as above.
fastboot set_active other, same as above
fastboot reboot --slot a, accepts command with slower restart than normal but reverts to b.
fastboot getvar all, works list in attachments if its is of any interest.
Details of the device,
Contract device from O2 so probably vendor locked.
Was working fine but the past week or so there have been occasions where it wouldn't accept a correct pin, then would after about 5-6 attempts then be fine some time. I didn't pay it too much thought at the time as nothing seemed off and fingerprint was always fine but seems more relevant now.
I'm not enrolled for the beta.
I haven't tried to root or unlock the bootloader.
For the first time I've been pretty boring with a phone and haven't fiddled with a thing.
I don't think I've even had the dev options menu opened on it.
I refuse to believe its bricked itself for no apparent reason but google seems to be failing me or I must be looking for the wrong thing. There must be something I can do via fastboot surely given that it has got some form of communication?
If anyone has any further suggestions it would be much appreciated before I go down the return/replace route.
I assume you didn't have OEM Unlocking enabled before this happened. Without an unlocked bootloader, there is nothing you can do to fix it, because the bootloader will reject any of the necessary commands to reflash the device. If you're still under warranty, seek warranty repair; this is going to require replacing the mainboard, because no one has the necessary tools to perform a low level reflash.
If the bootloader was unlocked, fixing this would be fairly simple because you'd just have to reflash the boot image. But, as I described above, a locked bootloader rejects all the commands that would help in this situation, and there is no way to unlock the bootloader if OEM Unlocking was not enabled.

Simply turned it off put the screen protector on turned back on and it has been stuck in fast boot ever since with a list of things below I have tried;
Restarted, no change straight back to fastboot.
Recovery Mode, no luck same as 1.
Rescue mode and using googles update/repair tool, cannot connect result is the same as number 1.
Restart bootloader, no luck same as 1.
Flashed barcode setting on and off (i know), device state & NOS Production some times change see non error image.
Flashing via android flash tool, boot loader locked wont allow. 'error getting device locked state -1'
Using force options confirms bootloader needs unlocking.
Connected to fastboot.exe on pc.
fastboot devices, correctly recognises the device is connected.
fastboot set_active a, FAILED (remote: 'error getting device locked state -1') message.
fastboot set_active a --force, same as above.
fastboot set_active other, same as above
fastboot reboot --slot a, accepts command with slower restart than normal but reverts to b.
fastboot getvar all, works list in attachments if its is of any interest.
Details of the device,
Contract device from O2 so probably vendor locked.
Was working fine but the past week or so there have been occasions where it wouldn't accept a correct pin, then would after about 5-6 attempts then be fine some time. I didn't pay it too much thought at the time as nothing seemed off and fingerprint was always fine but seems more relevant now.
I'm not enrolled for the beta.
I haven't tried to root or unlock the bootloader.
For the first time I've been pretty boring with a phone and haven't fiddled with a thing.
I don't think I've even had the dev options menu opened on it.
I refuse to believe its bricked itself for no apparent reason but google seems to be failing me or I must be looking for the wrong thing. There must be something I can do via fastboot surely given that it has got some form of communication?
If anyone has any further suggestions it would be much appreciated before I go down the return/replace route.

Kind of sounds like a stuck hardware button, either power and volume that's makes the phone think you are holding down buttons during boot to get into bootloader
Can you press the power button to start the system? If not, try this (it may be useful, but it may get worse, please be cautious) Hold on power button and volume down at the same time for 45s, When you press 30 seconds, the screen should turn off and restart to this interface. Then do it again as above, when it restarts to the interface again, try to press the power button to enter the system.translate form Chinese(simplified)_Google
