Fastboot... Here's some info from HTC.

thanks ...

Could you upload a /system dump?
Read here how: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9854568&postcount=43

Hey,
Can you post the files /dev/block/bml*
and your /efs dir?
Thanks

So buy holding both +/- volume keys and plugging in the usb cable unlocks the bootloader or takes you to the bootloader?

F'd up my vibrant i could use some help!!

hi guys... so i don't know how i got this vibrant soooooo far gone .. im afraid i have gotten it too far...
i was doing a odin back up and odin froze!... i did nothing for hours!!!! finally i shut off the program.... the phone rebooted into a screen with a picture of a phone with a triangle then dots to a computer!!!
omg!!! so im freaking out.. anyone know if there is a way back from this?? i can't even get back into recovery mode!!
please any help will do......
there was a thread about that issue, turn off your phone, unplug the usb cord, plug the usb cord. hold vol up and vol down and the power button. it will come on but when it goes off release the power button and keep holding down the vol up and vol down. should go into auto download mode. then u can reload it via odin.

this is normal just continue to download mode as normal.

you can save your device through odin, plug your phone in to your computer and try to go into download mode may take a couple tries, and flash the stock ROM you can find on these forums
i have already tried the sequence to get it into download mode... it doesnt work... tried adb and nothing registers....
anymore ideas? looks like im going to have to do a warranty exchange.
The only way I can reliably get to download mode is: power off, remove battery, replace battery, hold both vol buttons, plug in usb. works every time though.

ok so that actually worked!!!! i pulled the battery ... pluged the usb cable in and while holding volume up and down buttons i forced the battery in.. and now its in download mode!!!!
now here is my next road block.. whenever i tried to use odin i cant get pass that file analysis part and nothing happens..
any ideas? i looked it a thread and it said to reboot my computer into safe mode and disable digital driver sig.. still not working..
ideas on how to get pass the file analysis part?
Best way for us to help you, is for you to help yourself first, educate yourself and post this in the right forum please and we would all be more than gracious to help you out

are you using a .pit file? and if so is it the right 512 .pit file?
if both those are yes, delete the one on your system and re-download it.
I had this same exact problem a few weeks back Odin would hang on the pit file, just redownloaded and it worked like a charm.
and just a quick reminder of everything out for the Vibrant right now
Only stock firmware use the 'PDA' option a pit file, and re-partition
froyo firmware use the 'PDA' option and a pit file, no re-partition
JACs kernels use the 'CSC' option and no pit file, no-repartition
i have a Bell Vibrant and all the methods don't work. i tried the 3 button (remove batt,place in batt, plug USB, wait for the the ''star" to appear, hold VOL+/- and POWER and wait for the screen to turn off, release POWER, but it just goes back to recharging screen. tried it 40 times
tried the power off, remove battery, replace battery, hold both vol buttons, plug in usb. no go as well.
ANything else? I'm stuck at the boot screen (the 'S' glowing part).
This is what always works for me.
Unplug your USB from your phone
Makes sure ODIN is ready to go on your PC
Hold down the Down Volume and Power until the download screen comes on
Then plug your USB back into the phone
fire up odin
pull your battery
connect phone to pc WITH THE BATTERY OUT
hold volume up+down and power
put battery in while still holding those buttons
the screen will light up with....something. Wait for the screen to blink and then release the buttons.
You are now in download mode!
i will try those methods. Thanks.
crap, still no. just keeps showing the battery charging. i remember rescuing my htc magic so many times, but no go on this guy.....
Odin all fired up when doing this......

Did you make sure that the USB was unplugged when you used my method of holding down the volume down button and power button together until the download screen came up?
If you are familiar with ADB. You can also power your phone on and then plug in the USB and then type in the command line:
adb reboot download
to get it to reboot into download mode.
You can also use this command from the recovery console if you are able to get to it.

Dude, the Vibrant is new to us all. None like it. So dev wise its harder to explain and understand when we are used to coming from a one press method, now were using Odin, and Thor's hammer to flash our phones, which is god awful, no pun intended.
Dont flame your fellow Vibrant user cause he doesent understand the 613 steps it involves, and every other way to do so. Help the kid.
I am also in this position, just using a finger in the socket method, if its on it'l shock me, know what i mean. Just try it all. I have a feeling its getting harder and harder to brick phones because the manufacture is not retarded, they fix them right back, and ship them back out to customers who need replacements. I know this as a friend works at an AT&T shipping warehouse.
So cant we all just hit a bong, or get a long? And help?
If someone could explain all this 512PIT, PDA, and CSC, and Phone. It would help so much, sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. Just sayin.

Yeah man, i'll try it again!! And when do I start typing (sending out the adb command) when the power turns on? Thanks.
Question is: when i press power+vol Down, the boot splashscreen comes on (Galaxy S etc etc).....
I am sorry you have a Bell Vibrant, it is a little different than my phone. I found this hope this helps
HOWTO GET INTO DOWNLOAD-MODE:
- Turn off your Phone
- Hold VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons
- While holding VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons press POWER Button until you reach Download-Mode
- Release all Buttons
I also read that some of the Bell Vibrants had their Download/Recovery mode disabled.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754673&highlight=bell
As far as the adb command I would start as soon as it powers on. It will say "error:device not found" at first, but just keep on hitting arrow up and hitting the enter in the command window until it accepts the command.
Good Luck

hello,

For fastbooting u need to use volume down and power in the same time and the phone needs to be connected to PC, and for entering to recovery u only need to press volume up and power key.

Disconnect the phone from PC. Make sure it's powered off. Plug in USB cable at the same time while holding volume down.

Don't work, after power on......why power on?
Disconnect from PC. Power of the phone.
Press and hold only vol down, with pressing vol down connect with PC. Device should be start on fastboot mode.

On the starting, your phone is on.

After power off
Press and hold only vol down, connect with pc.

i hold power button, if phone isn't connected to pc he is going off. Think is because battery is very low, led is blinking in red.
Then I hold vol down and connect usb cable, but how u can see on video phone weak up and go to booting.
I have hi suit last night as i mention fastboot works, but need to unlock phone. After that "your devices" screen came out and can't fastboot anymore
When i turning off phone with connected usb i can't turn phone off. After a second phone power on by his own.
If phone is disconnected longer than 5 min, then i push vol down and connect usb only red lightening shows up. I need to wait a while to phone start.

OK. When phone is off, if you connect with PC, phone should be start, but this is only for charging. May be, you don't have charge, so phone is not going to fastboot mode with vol down?
Now just connect the phone with PC for full charge.
You don't have any recovery? Custom or stock?
It can be happen?

When i start charge phone blinking red in led, after while phone vibe 1 time and go to booting now, but led don't stop blinking. I will try to charge it, but because of working screen, phone heat a lot i don't wanna burn it.
Before i made rollback and something gone very bad, emui update after 100 % phone don't boot up. Without usb cable i wasn't able to go recovery or fastboot. So i think i don't have any recovery i made backup of files with twrp but now i can't flash it.
after night without power, phone drain all of battery. Now i understood better what is going on. when i plugged usb cable, phone don't start bye it own, only red lighting flash for second .
I disconnect cable and connect it with vol down button how all of here wrote. Phone immediately weak up an go to "your device has been..".
It's look like after i unlock phone (bootloader) somehow i was able to corrupt bootloader files or even delete it. Some one can confirm that it is possible to crash bootloader ?

I have the same situation. I tried everything, Three button method, letting the battery run out completely, Vol+ and Power, Vol- and Power, connected to PC, not connected to PC. Every time I disconnect the charger, and reconnect it starts from 0. I read some other people here have the same problem. Send it to warranty and explain your rollback process unlocked the bootloader somehow (I mean the phone does do a lot of sh*ty sh*t, so this shouldn't seem very odd as well!!!) and hope that you get a repair/replacement and after that sell it on ebay hoping some stupid people like us in the first place will buy it and spend your money on a phone more reliable!
I managed to access the fastboot using the 3 button method in cold boot. Hold the Power key until the screen goes off and then release and hold down the Vol- key and immideately connect the usb cable to PC right before it vibrates or exactly when it vibrates (it's a matter of timing), and bingo you are in fastboot and you can flash system.img, recovery.img, cust.img, cache.img and boot.img from there, but this is not how I revived my phone. I used the 3 button method again when the phone was charged for like half an hour or so and the did the same cold boot trick and I could boot into the force upgrade environment (strangely this still didn't work whitout connecting the usb cable to PC), but it somehow didn't want to read the UPDATE.APP that I had in dload folder on my SD card and wanted to have it from my PC (I just felt it nad there was no indication of it ) so then I installed the DC Phoenix tool and payed 15 euros to be able to inject the complete UPDATE.APP to my bricked phone and the installation went well to 99% and failed, but I rebooted the phone and I could boot normally. Just to make sure I did a factory reset afterwards. Hope this helps.

Yes. I am actually writing this from my Huawei P9 Lite now. This phone is really a nightmare for modifying and customization. I'm not sure if I'm going to resell it or just wait a reasonable amount of time until some reviews from the next update come out and see if I might wanna take the risk and update my phone again.

TWRP install gone badly wrong i think

I have a problem after installing TWRP on my P9 Lite i have a screen saying:
Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted
To Learn more, visit: long www adress
Your device is booting now...
Cant put a picture because i don't know how. But this is all it says, and then nothing else happens. Just stays on that screen. Can't connect to my pc or reboot in Recovery mode it always ends here.
Hopefully one of you guys can help. In a bit of panic.
Can't shut it down, everytime i try to turn it off, it reboots into this screen.
Can tell us some more information? Like what ROM are you on now, what TWRP you used etc..

Just tryed to make the dload folder on the root of my SDcard but still no success. I havn't been able to start boot screen other than this locked screen.
I have tryed to start with volume up + power both volume up and down + power and volume down + power. Nothing changes, just get this screen everytime.
Cant do anything, not even shut the phone down, it only reboots. I have seen other simular problems, but they have been able to get to the screen with 3 options. I havn't been able to come to that part.
Plug USB cable to your phone but not on your computer, restart the phone and as soon as it restart press volume + (or volume - I don't remember which is fastboot) and plug the USB cable to the computer. So you can check if the bootloader is unlocked

OnePlus 6T - Stuck in "unlocked boot loader" screen - cannot go to fastboot mode

So I was trying to flash a rom on this phone for the first time, I failed miserably...
Was following instructions from this thread: [ROM][OFFICIAL] Omnirom Q for OnePlus6T [Every Sunday]
After flashing the omnirom.zip I immediately tried to reboot in recovery and ended-up in a boot loop (see attached image).
I tried multiple times to go back to fastboot mode with vol-up-power combination, it did'nt worked. Always boot back to that screen.
I tried all imaginable combinations of buttons and timing but always ened-up on that screen... exept just one time where I finally ended-up in fast boot.
I dont know how I did it!
So then I pushed TWRP, I saw that the ROM's files were in both partitions, wiped the data and rebooted and returned to that same "unlocked boot loader" screen.
I've been stuck here for 3 days now, I want to go back to fastboot mode so I can push TWRP and restore my nandroid backup.
Anybody knows how I can do this?
Try holding power, volume up and down all at the same time without any cable plugged in to shut it down then while holding the volume up button plug the USB cable that's connected to your computer in. It should boot to bootloader screen.

No worries. Glad it works as I was in the same situation before myself.
Well I'm grateful that I was able to get the device shut down without a hot dead battery. I wasn't able to get it into fastboot by the volume up and plug in. I'm thankful it's off. Do you have any other ideas Im not concerned about data at all. I just would like to get my device back up and running..
Please help me out! Thanks

bootloader issue

hey! i have an samsung galaxy j3-j330FN (2017) i couldnt find the 2017 j3 from the forums so i went here but anyway the issue is that the phone is not letting me use custom OS or recovery even tho oem unlocking is enabled it only lets me do it the first time after reflashing stock os and then after power off it says only official roms are allowed to be flashed what could this mean? this phone did work normally before evne with twrp and root but not now? as far as im aware this phone doesnt require the bootloader to be unlocked it just needs it to be allowed according to many tutorials on youtube

1. Tick USB Debugging and OEM Unlock in Developer Mode (OEM has to be ticked to unlock the bootloader)
2. Connect to PC with USB Cable and open Odin
3. Power off and reboot into Download Mode (VOL.DOWN+HOME+POWER)
4. Add twrp.zip to AP tab
where is the unlock process????????????????????
Unplug phone and power off completely. Leave USB cable plugged into computer.
Wait at least 30 seconds
Hold both Volume buttons, do NOT press Power. Plug USB cable into phone.
Phone should start with a prompt. Follow the instructions on the screen for device unlock mode.

Okay...Try holding both Volume buttons + Home, then plug the USB cable in. Again, the phone has to be shut off completely - I do not mean turning off the screen.
If this doesn't work, try holding both Volume buttons + Home, and while holding them press Power until the device turns on.
If that still doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you. If OEM Unlocking is enabled in Developer Options, then one of these key combos should bring up a warning screen that gives you the option to either go into download mode, unlock the device, or cancel.

At this point, the least you could do is at least try what I've suggested, regardless of whether you think it will work. You have nothing to lose. If you're unwilling to try suggestions, there's nothing more that I or anyone else can do for you.

Once again, here's what you should try. OEM Unlocking must be enabled in Developer Options. Do not factory reset. Let me know what results you get with each suggestion. You must start with the device powered completely off.
Hold both Volume buttons, plug in USB cable
Hold both Volume buttons + Home, plug in USB cable
Hold both Volume buttons, press Power
Hold both Volume buttons + Home, press Power
One of these should work.
none worked wth
