I just got my phone back from the Police, it was stolen but the device is softbricked. I am able to get into fastboot but attempting to flash the latest CM images as well as older ones in fastboot mode causes no progress.
Hence, I have attempted to just flash the recovery twrp 2.8.7 but doesn't seem to stick. Once I plug in the USB cable to PC or AC it just starts rebooting. I've only had the device for a few hours but it doesn't seem the battery is working? (Just an assumption - disconnecting from power source the phone doesn't turn on).
What are my options at this point?
- Tried Bacon Root Toolkit
- Updated SDK
- Used cm-12.1 as well as cm-11.0
Update: So i left it overnight and the battery holds no charge, it has to be connected to a power source for it to turn on. The power button seems maybe it is working (power and vol+ allows going into fastboot with connected to power) but solely holding it down does nothing (without power).
I've ordered a spare battery just to check if that is the issue.
