So I was going to root this (previsouly healthy) BQ A4.5. Unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP from here:
$ fastboot oem unlock
(bootloader) Start unlock flow
OKAY [ 32.954s]
Finished. Total time: 32.960s
$ fastboot flash recovery downloads/twrp-3.3.1-0-dendeone.img
target reported max download size of 134217728 bytes
Sending 'recovery' (11342 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.378s]
Writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.335s]
Finished. Total time: 0.727s
$ fastboot reboot bootloader
rebooting into bootloader
OKAY [ 0.003s]
Finished. Total time: 0.058s
$ fastboot reboot
Rebooting...
Finished. Total time: 0.058s
The first reboot to bootloader didn't do anything. Now it's on a bootloop which states:
Orange State
Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted
Your device will boot in 5 seconds
Pressing Volume Up + PowerOn used to work for recovery (that's how I got into fastboot mode).
Now, pressing Volume Up/Down/Up+Down + PowerOn doesn't do anything, fastboot stands indefinitely < waiting for any device >
, and adb always responds with error: no devices/emulators found
regardless of when it's run.
If I press Volume Up+Down it turns off. Plugging in USB it turns on. Nothing else seems to respond.
dmesg
states:
[32774.364937] usb 2-7: new high-speed USB device number 59 using xhci_hcd
[32774.514434] cdc_acm 2-7:1.0: Zero length descriptor references

The disconnect happens before the bq logo appears.
Trash bin time?
