Before I get flamed, I have searched the forums, but the threads are NOT helpful. (some old, and I don't want to hi-jack anyonelse's thread)
THis is NOT my phone. I am trying to help, so bare with me. I have the SK4G and G2x, so this device is a bit different for me.
Apparently, my friend tried flashing a custom rom, it took too long and he pulled the battery. NOW the phone refuses to turn on. The computer recognizes the device, but I am unable to boot into bootloader.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
What is "recognizing the device", and what happens when you turn it off and then turn it on while pressing VolumeDown (or VolumeUp)?
Technically pulling battery during a ROM flash shouldn't cripple the phone. unless that is another side effect of the bad emmc chip, in which case you may be out of luck. but as the previous poster said, try booting whilst holding down the volume down key and see what happens.
I have tried the down volume button and power... up volume and power... home and power, all to no avail.
If I connect it to the PC it recognizes the device.

It booted into bootloader, but I can't select anything. I am guessing its the POWER button now.
The issue now is getting it back to stock and s-on in order to return it to TMOBILE. I can't select anything since the power button doesn't work. and I am not good at all with ADB.
can you select by pressing the optical trackpad instead of the power button?

It's okay, we have no problem helping people who are willing to help themselves.
From the Bootloader type in
Code:
reboot
since the phone doesn't have a working ROM it should boot into the recovery mode again
Well what you'll need to do is download the PD15IMG file PD15IMG
pull the SD Card w/o pulling the battery, and store just the PD15IMG.zip on the root of the SDcard.
Then type in
Code:
adb reboot recovery
again and unplug the phone. It should ask if you want to restore the PD15IMG, you'll hit the button (it'll tell you) to confirm that.

The Track pad only works if I am in CWM - if I am not mistaken. ( I have tried selecting with the power button and trackpad, nada)
I guess my next question would be, how to unroot using ADB without being able to select anything with the power button? Any way to flash the STOCK ROM and get S-ON again using ADB Commands? It will have to be sent back to TMOBILE. And since it is rooted, I have to UNROOT it. (The phone is ON MY ACCOUNT, but belongs to my friend. I don't want to get charged for the device because it's rooted and warranty voided)

once in your bootloader only the power button will select objects. the volume keys are the "picker" and the power button is the "selector"

Correct! The Trackpad works with Clockworkmod, but I can't even get there... How can I unroot/flash the PD15IMG.ZIP using ADB (if that's possible?!)
I will need to send it without them taking notice, as this is on my account.

OK. Sounds good. I am downloading the PD15IMG.zip as I type. This will take some time, according to the mins left (22m) - After it reboots, and reads the PD15IMG file, will this UNROOT the device back to stock? (I am guessing so... but just to be CLEAR!)

it SHOULD put everything back the way it came. IF you use the ./gfree method to root the phone it might not turn s-on. But everything else, the recovery image and the hBoot will be back to normal.

Ok. I will try it and hope it turns S-on... if not, is there away to do that?
I have rooted using the rooting toolkit.
Great toolkit by the way.
That gave me a cwm.
I installed ROM manager n choose the cwm touch.
Now I have a nice touch version cwm.
But I can only enter it via ROM toolbox or ROM manager in app option
The power + volume own combo doesn't work anymore.
Naturally I googled n search about this.
Is a common issue and the solution is usually this 2
Use adb, I have no idea how.
Plug a USB cable.
I love the USB cable idea but I don't get how it works.
There is no description on it.
I plug my USB cable, and try the combo,
I got into boot menu, I navigate to recovery, and it got stuck there
What should I do?
I'm worry to flash anything fearing I can't get back to recovery if my tab don't boot.
Well one way to get abound it is any CM10 Rom. You old the power button, click rebppt then select reboot recovery to reboot into it. It kinda is a problem if you don't want to flash anything though.........

dumb questions: did you plug it into computer? does adb work when you do so? If these two are true, I imagine the three button method should work when plugged in.
(But I'm just speculating, really.)
If adb does work, then worst case scenario you should be able to "adb reboot bootloader".

Thanks for the USB Trick
I manage to get it to work already.
Just plug the USB cable to the tablet, and connect it to a computer.
Then use the power and volume down combo to boot into cwm recovery.
Previously I tried the combo only with the USB cable, but not plugged to a computer.
why we need to plug in a pc???, my phone doesnt need....
just power + volume down!

How do you do it?
If I use that key combo,
It will lead me to a menu, I use volume button to select recovery,
The tab will then just stuck at the Google logo and never enter cwm.
It is a bug in the bootloader... many threads about it.
Simple fix use quickboot app. Press a button and you're in recovery. No keyboard needed.

I just went into Fastboot, Power, both volume keys then scrolled to recovery... worked like a charm... dunno why it wouldnt.
Unless set by CWM, Nexus 7 will automatically try to restore the stock recovery that's why you are stuck. Once in CWM recovery, there should be an option to block android from doing so.

It is really easy to get into Clockworkmod Recovery. Install Rom Manager vv5.0.2.1 from the market and Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. It should list recovery 6.0.1.0. Then choose Reboot into Recovery from Rom Manager. Done. Now you have the full CWM recovery with access to all the things you don't have in stock recovery.
My S4 only boots into stock recovery with blue text 'recovery booting'. I cannot get into download mode or boot normally. I've tried to data factory reset but the same thing occurs and also I cannot clear the cache as it ends in an error.

I also restored with kies but again reboots into recovery mode. please help as I don't want to keep booting into recovery. any questions ill try and answer them.

That's weird. Can you install the Android SDK or ADT and get adb.
Then plug your S4 to the computer (I assume the drivers are installed?) and open up cmd. Set adb to your path variables or just browse over to the adb where you installed your SDK and run
Code:
adb devices
to see list of devices and check if yours is there. Then type
Code:
adb reboot download
Let me know if that works.

Well if CWM works, and you flashed a stock ROM using Odin, does the issue persist? If so, it could be a hardware issue then.
EDIT: Although the issue in the OP seems to be solved partially no? Can you boot normally to your ROM? Can you boot to recovery (vol-up + power)? Download mode (vol-down + power)? Anyone of them through adb?

You're supposed to press vol-down and power. Not menu. I guess that's a typo?
Anyway, if it doesn't work in those ways, I'm not sure what's left besides taking it to the shop and getting it replaced.
Does adb devices detect the phone as online? If so, you can try this toolkit and maybe that boots you to download mode?

update - cannot get into download or odin mode with the buttons. what im gonna try to do is install a custom rom. where can I find stock roms also please? can I flash the stock ones through recovery too? thanks.
I was using the Nexus 7 Toolkit, and used the option to boot into a recovery without flashing, on CWM 6.0.3.6. The device already had TWRP installed, but would not boot into it.
Now, I am stuck at the CWM screen with a "Warning: No file_contexts", and no commands available to me.
If I try to use the power/vol up/vol down combo to boot into fastboot, the device reboots, shows the Google splash screen for a second, and goes right back into the "busted" CWM. This happens regardless of the button combos, even if I just hold power for a while to try to boot normally.
Even though I'm partially in CWM, it's not recognized over usb via ADB, and I obviously can't get into fastboot to get it recognized that way. It was recognized correctly before.
If it matters, I had PA and TWRP installed before this happened.
Help!
Update: I let the battery drain itself dry overnight. After a re-charge and power on, still boots into the non-functional CWM. No fastboot/bootloader, even with the right key combo.
It's like I need to find some way to clear out of this temporary recovery that the toolkit created.
Similar problem
Does anyone have any insight on this one. I have a similar problem. A tablet was brought to me from a friend that is doing this. His son was "rooting" it when it developed this symptom. Looks like he was using CF-Auto-Root. When powering on you get the google screen then this auto root android screen and it loops. See screenshot.
I have been unable to boot the device any other way. Have tried fastboot and recovery many times with no success. When trying for fastboot with holding power, Volume up, and Volume down you get the Google screen once then black screen then Google again and it kicks back into the loop. Same as above poster every combination of button press/hold with or without USB has no effect other than the double Google screen as stated.
Device is not recognized on USB at any stage in this loop during my many attempts at fastboot or recovery.
Same as above if I could get it to do anything other than the loop like fastboot or recovery I think I can work it out what he has done.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bump, anyone have thoughts on this? If I could just get into fastboot I'd be good, but the normal key combos do nothing, and I can't issue a reboot fastboot command since the PC won't recognize the device.
And yes, I'm sure I have my drivers set up correctly.
Anybody? What causes a device to not be able to boot to fastboot or recovery. If I can't fix it I would like to know why.
Looks like we might be hosed here. Don't see to many post on here that don't get some suggestions.
Yeah, even after letting the battery drain completely, I can only get into the hosed recovery mode, with no functions available. Fastboot key combos do nothing. I'm still stuck.
Can't anyone shed some light on this? Am I hardbricked? Would a picture of the recovery that I get into help?
Here is the only screen I can get into, regardless of key combos held during start up. This first happened after booting into temp recovery.
Help! About to have to throw my Nexus 7 in the trash!

I wouldn't think so; I have let the battery drain to dry by leaving it on that recovery screen until dead, and it just boots right back into it regardless.

I was on 4.3 PA and tried jumping up to CM11, this appears to have happened to me. Interesting...
Are you unable to get into fastboot by holding down volume up volume down and power? I did this, then used the root toolkit and was able to flash stock 4.4. Back up and running now.
No, vol up + vol down + power does nothing for me except get into this recovery.

When you hold these two buttons and you see the LG logo, release and hold them again fast until you see factory reset screen. At this point press the power key three times and you will go to recovery. An press the thanks button here.

I think you have have to hold for 5 seconds to completely power down.
Hold vol- and power key and when logo pops up release power key and again hold power key then Reset screen should display. Press power until it starts factory reset which will dump you into Recovery.

If adb sees the device you can do an adb push

No with no rom it will probably just sit on the LG logo or something
Have you tried this?

Might be your only option then
Has adb ever seen your device before? seems weird thats its not being detected in recovery

i had to get ADB on my device to root and put CM there in the first place, not sure why its not working now... maybe because USB debug isnt checked? i have no clue.
all i need are drivers right? is there a good link for re-setting that up

my adb works fine even with no rom
maybe try to reinstall the usb drivers and replug the phone
http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-D801 scroll down and download... the driver should work fine even though its d801
try putting a rom on a usb stick and then in recovery install from usb? not sure whether that would work but its worth a try
i installed those drivers but its not recognizing device in adb
