Please help, I've tried a number of methods with using the MSM8994DownloadTool.exe tool but this tool cannot detect my phone. I tried a number of Qualcomm hs-usb * devices but it still would not recognize it.
Here is my phone's current status:
- when I try normal boot, it just stays at the 1+ logo screen
- I can boot into fastboot mode
- I tried flashing the twrp or stock recovery, the flash seems to work but I cannot boot into recovery mode
- I have a A2005 model
Please help!!!!
I just re-read
@mjenne comment carefully, perhaps I haven't been able to boot the device into Qualcomm recovery mode. My problem is that when ever I plug the phone into the computer, the phone turns on automatically.
So am I doing this wrong? Like
@mjenne said, is there an easier way to boot into Qualcomm recovery mode? Or does anyone have the exact instructions to boot into that mode?
** update **
Problem solved. Long story short, I was testing the Phoenix rom which requires TWRP 3.0 by Kingmerican. When I tried to restore to my Oxygen OS backup, I got stuck in 1+ logo. After trying everything, what ended up fixing the problem is re-flash the TWRP 3.0 Kingmerican recovery in fastboot mode. However, that was one of the first thing I did after my phone was stuck in boot loop. It turns out that there a slight different button pattern that I had to push. I found this out by fluke and desperate tries.
Here is the button sequence.
- once the power is off, I immediately press Vol down + Power buttons, then once I see the 1+ logo, I let go of the power button but keep pressing the Vol down button. Then eventually, it will boot into TWRP (Kingmerican version).
Then from there, I use Windows Explorer to drag and drop the OxygenOS full rom to my phone and I flashed it. Before I reboot, I purposely tell the process to wipe the TWRP recovery and use the stock one.
I hope that helps someone else who have similar problem.
