Hi, so yeah... I got two fatal problems that completely block me from doing anything on my phone.

It started when suddenly my phone's screen turned black, and after a restart it keeps taking me to a screen when it asks for a password to decrypt my data, blocking me from reaching my phone.

So I wanted to recover the phone to fix it, but when i enter fastboot and choose recovery, after a few seconds it shows a picture of the android logo with an exclamation mark on it, and I cannot get into the recovery screen.

Each problem prevents me from fixing the other one, any ideas of how can I save my phone?
