I've been trying to follow
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835971
But in order to go into bootloader, i need to hold volume down and power (Which is broke)...
What i tried was, "adb reboot bootloader"
which goes in bootloader but doesn't scan like the guide says... and from there i'm lost.
Any help is appreciated.
oh wow. so you cannot manipulate your power button at all? no tweaking or pushing in with something else (is the button still there or did it break off?
warning -- do not do this -- im just trying to be helpful but I am probably not.... dont do this on my account.
well im looking in TJWorld... please dont do this without a real dev taking a look at this
http://tjworld.net/wiki/Android/HTC/Vision/BootProcess#FastBootRestart (Chain Operating System down 1/4 of the way)
in so many words connect serial-usb-to control Hboot (need linux host)
screen /dev/ttyUSBO
press enter till you see "hboot"
and then basically I guess just like in GOTO language
gotofastboot
or
gotohboot
and then theres OEM Reboot Codes
-reboot=oem-1F Regular reboot
--reboot=oem-42 HBoot menu
--reboot=oem-74 In some indeterminate state, for all intents and purposes powered off or just plain dead
--reboot=oem-76 Wipe data and cache (factory reset) Amber and Green LEDs flash whilst it is doing it, then the device reboots
--reboot=oem-78 ??
I hope this helps at all..
The buttons there, you can press it as hard as you want but nothing. Just no response
I have this exact problem!! It's been sitting in my room collecting dust. If anyone can find a fix.. a cup of coffee on me!
My power button is also in perfect condition, I've compared it to another G2 and the button's "press feel" is exactly the same.
why dont you just remap the keyboard and map the camera button as power
^^ i thought the power button combo is not remappable....
and that Its only mapped within android not for the default system combos
Do you have CWM? If so, the phone should turn on when it is plugged into a power source.
^^ Do have CWM, problem is not the phone turning on... the problem is I have no usable power key to follow the guide to unroot and put a stock rom on so i can send it in for warranty.
Using keyboard I can turn on the screen so thats do-able... but restoring to stock + removing root is what I'm trying to ultimately achieve.
i think theres an app thts called quick boot maybe tht could help...
Could you not flash the zip file from within rom manager. By selecting install rom from SD Card, you avoid needing to use powerbutton to get into bootloader. Correct me if you cant do this.
I tried flashing from CWM and error... rom manager didn't reboot it to CWM to flash, so not sure what to do.
This is what I have tried --
PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip
on hex editor the version is 1.19.531.1, and it already was so i didn't need to change it. But when i try putting that zip through cwm it doesn't work.
I've tried adb reboot bootloader , but it doesn't scan for PC10IMG which i downloaded from the guides....

Which version CWM have you got on there? If its 3.0 I dont think you can flash a froyo rom with that. You would have to install an earlier version.
You can remap the power button with the button remapper app it cost 1.04$ it works fine for me even if you turn off your phone u can use camera button to turn it on, I got the app for free if u dnt want to spend but I cannot post the apk I'm using my phone right now just search it on google beansoft button remapper
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11021708#post11021708
My posted app.. hope this helps
i don't think remapping keys will work. It's a hardcoded thing the power+volume key during boot. What i don't get is the fact that hboot doesn't find the file. did you rename it to PC10IMG.zip?
thats the only filename hboot understands as an update or new rom. (Be shure to follow the original guide)
edit: tried myselve.. it doesn't go to hboot does it.. you have to select with powerkey
how can we just make the phone crash? to leave no trace of root or anything of the sort.
Possible solution
Hi !
While I am still thinking about a solution how you could boot into hboot (by using adb reboot bootloader you boot into fastboot mode and not hboot mode) the following might be a solution.
I can not test it because I don't have windows but this is what might work:
1. You need windows and you need the USB drivers from HTC Sync (You can get that here http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=325&act=sd&cat=all
2. You need a Desire Z RUU:
You can get one from here http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision
Select any WWE I would probably use RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.22.405.1_Radio_12.26.60.1301_26.02.00.24_M2_release_151197_signed.exe
3. You need the G2 Stock ROM zip, i.e PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip
The procedure is the following:
1. Install the HTC Sync so that you have the USB Drivers installed
2. Start the RUU and let it do it's job until the Welcome Screen apears.
At this moment you should have a directory in C:\C:\Documents and Settings\<your user>\Local Settings\Temp\{some-CLSID}\{another-CLSID} that contains a file called rom.zip.
Delete this file and copy the PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip to the directory and rename it to rom.zip
3. Connect you phone to the USB and on the welcome screen check the checkbox and continue.
If I am right the RUU should update your phone using the G2 rom.
As said, I am blind driving cause I ain't got Windows but this might work.
have fun Guhl

Well there is an option if you do have the engineering hboot installed.
DO NOT TRY THIS BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECOVERY FROM THIS BRICK
1. boot the phone into fastboot mode by using
Code:
adb boot bootloader
2. use fastboot do completely erase the emmc
Code:
fastboot oem fdisk_emmc
After this the phone will be completely erased and will not even know that it is a phone anymore. You can send it in and have it replaced and no one will ever know how your phone got bricked like this
And again: There is no way to recover from this state !!!

Do you have the engineering hboot installed? (hboot or fastboot has to say VISION PVT ENG S-OFF)

Edited the entire first post to make it clear what the issue *was* and what the solution is:
ISSUE:
1. Desire screen not switching on at all even though phone switches on.
2. Phone boots but doesn't go beyond bootloader/recovery/fastboot
3. Can get into recovery even though nothing comes on screen (test: press volume down and power. Wait for 10 seconds. Press volume down. Press power. Phone should vibrate. Wait 20 seconds. Phone should now be in recovery mode.)
4. Can get into fastboot (back+power)
5. No goldcard
CAUSE of MY ISSUE:
I had Aura Sense7.9+AlphaRev S-Off. Cause::Ran a very old RUU just because I wanted to bring things back to stock. The RUU overwrote my HBOOT from 0.93 to god knows what. Turned out, the RUU was for amoled screens and not for SLCD screen. So even though the phone turned on, the screen never did.
SOLUTION:
1. Make sure you have HTC Sync drivers installed. Install HTC Sync and then just remove the application and not the drivers. I also installed the unrevoked hboot drivers. Do the same.
2. Get Android SDK http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r07-windows.zip
3. Check that your phone is recognized in recovery and fastboot by your system once drivers are installed -- once you install the drivers, boot into recovery (point 3 of issue -- you should hear beeps in win7 signalling a device connection). Open android_sdk/tool directory in command line and type 'adb devices'. Your device should come up. Similarly take phone into fastboot, and then in command line type 'fastboot devices' your phone should come up.
4.Switch off phone after test. Next, take phone into recovery mode and create gold card. Follow http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/ or use the Gold Card Tool . The last part of the Gold Card Tool (Patch MMC) didn't work for me so I used the hex editor manually. Make sure you start with the SD Card that came with your phone. I tried 2 cards and it didn't work. Just the SD Card with the phone did!
5. After gold card is made, download 'RUU_Bravo_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.13.707.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed' RUU from shipped-roms. This is the latest RUU that I could find for SLCD screen.
6. Run RUU and if your gold card is correct, you should sail right through. and be greeted by a working Desire.
Phew!
Thanks goes to:
1. To everyone who has taken the time and effort to look at this post and comment with ideas and possible answers. Vankooten, I'm heading out of town in just a little while and just couldn't wait for rom210.zip. But, thanks nonetheless. Thanks EVERYONE

are you able to go into recovery?
You know you need a goldcard or its going to fail the cid check .... make one, also search for the slcd brick for another solution

I'm not able to get into recovery. I just get to the bootloader -- I know this just because i can feel it vibrate once. volume down/power doesn't do anything. fastboot works because i can see it using adk. Screen doesn't come on at all so can't see whats going on.

How do I make a goldcard at this stage? I can get into the adb shell but can't mount the sdcard in any way. mount /sdcard just throws up errors. Are all goldcards the same -- a goldcard made on one desire can run on another? (I might be wrong but I think not)...
really screwed aren't i?
When you plug in the phone to the comp is it still visible in the "hardware section" ??
( you must have HTC sync installed and after that unistall the sync part, but leave the driver)

When I plug in the phone, I get it as HTC Bootloader in Win7 hardware section...so yes, it is visible.
What do I need to uninstall the sync part but leave the driver for -- to mount /sdcard?
How do I uninstall sync but leave driver -- isn't the driver part of the sync installation?
What ROM did the phone originally come with? If you know, and you can find it, flash that...

And therein lies the mystery...i can't find it. i've gone through 100s of posts yesterday and tried flashing around 7 WWE and Asia roms, none of them work -- signatures just don't match!
i knew I should've created a goldcard!! since HBOOT has been overwritten and I can still erase system, data, and recovery using fastboot, should I just send it for service --- it is still under warranty... anyway of knowing if it's been HTCized again?
What software version was it on when you got it? This should be made clear before rooting to ALWAYS make a note of it so you can go back to stock if needed...without that you can try and send it to HTC but they may just turn around and say 'you rooted it, tough' and send it back
it was on 2.1 and upgraded it to 2.2 ota the day i got it.
i know.should've paid more attention and even created a goldcard for safe measure, but this is where I am at the moment
just wish things hadn't turned this bad...there's ought to be something else that I can do
http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r07-windows.zip
http://www.shadowchild.nl/rom210.zip
Ok. step by step.
Download de android SDK from here: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r07-windows.zip
Unzip it to a place where you can easely find it back.
Download also http://www.shadowchild.nl/rom210.zip , no need to unzip this, just place it in the map "tools"in the unzipped file.
Open a command prompt and navigate to the map 'tools' from the unzipped file.
That is in "CMD".
1. get your microsd card out of the phone.
2. turn the phone onin FASTBOOT mode, press the "back"button (on the right-underside of your phone) and the power button at the same time..
3. Typ in je commandprompt:
code:
1 fastboot erase cache (enter)
2 fastboot oem rebootRUU (enter)
3 fastboot flash zip rom210.zip (enter)
maybe you get a HBOOT pre-update 'error', repeat immedeatly the last command.
when this is finnished (you got now HTC ROM 2.10, not rooted) - the progressbar is then full:
fastboot reboot
You should no have a clean HTC romand can put back your sd card
make sure that there is no more 'PB99IMG.zip' file on the sd-card.
If you go to "start" on the computer an d type "HTC" you will find the HTC sync and two seperate uninstall files.
Just uninstall htc sync and leave the driver.
You will need this otherwise the phone will not be detected in the hardwaresection.
I have had the same problem and a guy on a dutch forum showed me the way and it worked again.
So, plug in the phone, turn it on with "back" and "power" ( not the volume-buttons)
Press "start" on the computer and type "CMD".
navigate to the map "tools" by entering cd (name of the map where you placed it)
Good luck.

Just had one question -- the steps you mentioned will work even if I don't have a goldcard?
yep,
No need for a goldcard.
Don't enter the numbers 1,2 and 3, just the commands.
your phone will be put back in its original state.

Hi guys,
I'm posting right now because i have a littl probleme with my phone..
So i baught a Desire HD in February, i rooted it, installed clockwork, ...
But now my problem is that i broke the volume button my phone fell down and it's irreplaceable because the things which controle the volume button is a part of the motherboard so i would have to change everything and i don't want to (too expensive)
I flashed the last Revolution rom by Rom Manager and when the phone reboot it got stucked on the HTC white screen
To fix that i know i have to get to the recovery but my button is blocken and i can't have access to recovery , is there any solution to get there by computer ?
I've searched but i couldn't find anything
Please if someone know please give me a post where it says how to or just tell me the command to write on my cmputer.
Thank you guys
Sorry for my english (i'm french)
ok... enter into bootloader//fastboot and reboot via sdk into recovery menu.... i can leave the commands now here.. not in my house...

okay i staid looking for your question into fastboot commands an there´s not any parameter to enter into your fastboot to reboot into recovery sorry...
the only thing that you can do its re- flash the nand partition of your device flashing the PD98img.zip with sdk of course
download PD98IMG.ZIP from here and copy paste to the root of your sd-card
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
then goo to fastboot into your device and wait for the automatic install of the file and then you can root again and flash another rom..
EDIT: if your vol- its broken you should to consider & asume that flash anything its dangerous for your device.... because you can´t enter into recovery when don´t boot....
be careful...and learn sdk commands, botloader its not an exe for use like an app.
its for to use it combinated with any order for your device
EDIT 2: About pd98img: this file its a 1.32 rom froyo pure stock for recover your system.
why 1.32? because if you flash this u are going to lose root etc... and with 1.32 version you dont need to do downgrade, etc... only using visionary r14+ its sufficient... and then you are able to flash another rom
I downloaded the file you told me and put it on the sd card.
But how to get into fastboot by computer ? By using Multitool ? i havent seen the option inside
I'm so sorry for my bad question and bad knowledge, actually i used to be an iOS user and when i discored HTC Sense it was for me a revelation lol

noooo WTFF?
bootloader is the status of the phone...
1-put the pd98img into sd card (in root IMPORTANT)
2-SHUT DOWN your device
3- enter to bootloader prsiing at the same time in this order VOL- & POWER BUTTON 20-30 segs..
now you are into bootloader...(white screen with 3 green droids) and installation may start automatically
I recommend to you that learn all the posibilities and features of the "android world" BEFORE flashing anything... you can brick your device without return
Ohh yeah i know booloader lol but i thought you were saying that we can have access by computer i meanby code or something
Yes i know ho to get to bootloader by pushing the volume down and eht power button and then everything is gonna be alone
But now my probleme is that my volume down is brocken so i can't get there by using only the phone :s

well if you loves a lot your DHD always you can give it to thecnical service and replace motherboard...

Thank you, you did a lot for me, that's ok i don't know what to do, the Desire HD is the best android phone i've ever seen (biggg screeen, fast, ...) so i really want it back but i asked already a shop in paris and they told me something about 300€ that's to expensive for me (i'm student) so don't know what to do

Turn off your phone completely (remove battery to do so) then plug it in your computer and wait a bit for it to boot into recovery. I've heard people say this is a bug but personally I think this is a feature.
Then if you need to get into the bootloader type in "adb reboot bootloader" and this will take you straight to fastboot.
I get to Fastboot, but what can i do now ? can i get to recovery whitouh volume botton ?
EDIT : It's flashing right now by PD98DIAG.zip
EDIT 2 : It flashed but couldn't do anything else so i took of the battery and booted it but still the same white htc screen
EDIT 3 : The flash by PD98DIAG.zip : OK now i get another probleme, it asks me "Do you want to star update" but i can't push the vol up can i dot it by computer ?
But u flashed the pd98img of the link that i provided to you?
Re-flash it and try again...
If not from fastboot downloading any rom and re-name the file by ""update.zip"" and then put it into the sdk folder... open CMD and write:
Fastboot update update.zip
and the update file may be installed..

archive does not contain 'android-inf.txt
archive does not contain 'android-product-txt'
error : update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
Which do i use in your option ?
You need to run the 1.32.405.6 RUU. This requires no user input on the handset.
1). Download THIS.
2). Ensure you have HTC Sync installed.
3). Turn your phone on and boot up normally.
4). Run the RUU~.exe and follow the prompts.
5). Handset returned to stock.
He cant boot his device... stucks in white screen... is not unable to install ruu from exe file?

Try this:
1. power down
2. remove battery
3. press and hold power button for 10 sec.
4. reinstall battery
5. press and hold the volume down button
6. press the power button to turn the phone on but DO NOT release the volume button until you can see the boot screen.
when you are in the boot screen one of the options in the list should say recovery. use the volume button to navigate down to that option and press the power button to select it. your phone should then boot into recovery and you will get the recovery screen and choices.
thanks
i did it but when i get into recovery i see the phone with the sing and then i reboot get stock in htc evo 4g logo if u have any idea how to get into the phone to flash any rom would b perfect tnx
Sounds like it could be a USB brick. This has happened to me before. I remember when that happened to me and couldn't get into recovery. For some reason when I plugged in the micro usb to the phone it would let me boot into recovery. Give that a shot and try searching usb brick. Also my sd card could not be recognized once I booted into recovery.
How did you try to downgrade?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
ok well i flash 2 programs 1 flash_image 2 mtd-eng then run the pc36img but nothing happen it says cant roll back hboot n i reboot the phone n i went to the bootloader n it was locked n i try to enter to the recovery n show me the phone w/ the sing...
any idea where can i get an usb brick??
I'm not familiar with a USB brick, but I believe that your computer can still read your phone through USB. I see that you were trying to S-OFF the phone. Looks like something went wrong when you flashed the misc partition, which locked your bootloader once again.
You should try running an RUU file from your computer with your phone connected which can be found here.
http://goo.im/stock/supersonic/ruu/...15.00.12.19_NV_2.33_release_234563_signed.exe
But first, you will need to install the Fastboot drivers to your computer which can be found here
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
You need to run the RUU from your phone's bootloader from FASTBOOT USB (click on Fastboot then run the RUU from your computer).
If that works, that should at least get your phone back going again (unrooted of course).
i did but w/ the ruu doesnt work too appears error 155 unknow problem n stops i dont know what else to do
Just checking, did you run the RUU in FASTBOOT USB which should have been highlighted in red from your bootloader after clicking FASTBOOT? Also, with your phone connected to your computer while in FASTBOOT USB, check your computer's device manager from the control panel and see do you see anything under Android USB devices.
And too, which PC36IMG file did you try to run?
Sounds like you tryed to downgrade your hboot to the Eng hboot. If that is what you did, then congradulations! You have successfully bricked your device! Hboots are generally NOT downgradable...especially 2.18 to eng

Yea, I was afraid that the wrong PC36IMG file was indeed used. Generally on the newer phones, any downgrade of the Hboot below 2.02 is a guaranteed brick. That's why Captain Throwback only recommends PC36IMG files down to Hboot 2.10 (the 2.02 ones don't work with S-ON phones). On the older hardware however, the Hboot can be downgraded to anything, including 0.76 from 2.18. I've done it on mines. You just have to know which hardware version and partition erasesize your phone has.
the one that i get from evohacks pc36img i think i need one way to flash a rom
the one i get from a post in htcevohacks
is the pc36img
if i brick my phone is there any way to unbrick

The best advice that I can give you is to reboot the phone into FASTBOOT USB (connect it to your computer, then go to your bootloader and click on FASTBOOT), then go back to the HTCdev site, start over and try to re-unlock your bootloader. If you can do that, then I may have a workaround for you If not, there might not be much else that you can do.
ok i did everything that u tell me n now i rename the zip (ss_stock_4.67.651) in PC36IMG n then reflash recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3 now i can get into the recovery menu n i flash the rename (ss_stock_4.67.651) PC36IMG n i have a rom from sprint but now i still cant use adb command so what else shuld i do to recovery to normal n there r many issues that cant load like mail that is forced to sptop unexpected n thank u for all ur help!!
in the command window type:
Code:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0and then:
Code:
fastboot reboot

Oh no. I don't know which tutorial you got those instructions from.
I'm also lost with your description of what happened. I hope you unlocked your bootloader, and can now boot into the operating system. If so, you were not suppose to rename the ss_stock_4.67 file to PC36IMG. You were suppose to flash that through RECOVERY as is. If I were you, I would go back to RECOVERY, and wipe All Factory/Reset (or whatever it says) and Dalvik-cache, then reflash the ss_stock file or another ROM.
Second, the adb commands only work from the operating system, not FASTBOOT. You need to be inside the operating system with your phone connected to your computer and USB Debugging enabled under Settings/Applications.
ok here i am
i change the name cos the bootloader let me flash the recovery amon ra 2.3 then i can see the recovery menu n i flash the rom named pc36img n give me the sprint w/ errors now i download another rom that i flash n now my computer can read the sdcard but im still locked n i dont know if im still rooted so the what i think is i have a usb brick so i need to unbrick my usb to use the adb command so i apreciate ur help w/ this thanks all of u for ur help
Hi,
I searched a lot withouth luck.
After flashing a kernel my amoled Desire is stuck on the HTC logo.
It is s-off with latest hboot.
The problem is that the volume keys are broken..
So I cannot use power+volume down to enter fastboot or hboot..
From the pc with adb devices I cannot see the device.
Is there a way to recover my poor phone?
Or to enter hboot without
thank you very much for your attention
Use back+power to enter fastboot and select "bootloader"
Thank you very much!
It was so simple, but I didn't know this method, sorry.
After some little problems I manage to restore it. :victory:
I write down the difficulties I found, so if someone has the same issues, he could use that.
After entering fastboot adb could not see the device again.
Fastboot commander 1.51 could, but was unable to write a new rom from a zip.
So I write on the phone a nandroid backup (with fastboot commander).
It booted but was stuck on "Optimizing Applications".
From there adb coul see it.
So I rebooted into recovery with adb, flashed the same nandroid of before from the SD and it booted successfully.
Thank you again!
And thanks to all that keep this device alive and help who need it

I too searched for the thread of my problem but couldn't find it.
I was given this Desire and I switched it on, it booted directly to hboot. I thought may be I pressed the volume key unknowingly. But then I tried to reboot it via hboot, I found out that volume keys do not work. So I removed the battery and tried to switch it on again, and it did the same, booted to hboot directly.
It is s-off and does not have any recovery app installed.
What do i do. I really need some help.
P.S. Sorry for my english, and this is my first post/comment in here. I thought this thread somehow matches my problem.
Thanks

Heh guys,
You can enter hboot by holding down the back button then the power button together.
See abaaaabbbb63's reply above
Ps. Thank me if this helps.
But he can enter hboot, so I think the question was different, or I'm wrong?
When you are stuck on hboot, could you see the device with the command "adb devices"?
Have you installed the correct drivers on the pc?
If you haven't got a recovery I think it is not a problem, you can at least flash the original gingerbread ruu.
Have you tried fastboot commander?
Me noob

Umm... I'm a noob, the lowest one... Honestly I haven't done anything to this device coz I have no idea what to do. I tried googling hoping I would find some helpful infos to start with, but I didn't.
So can you please explain how do I get/do the above things??
The phone has been modified in any way by the previous owner?
First you need to connect the phone with the pc.
From hboot, if you see "fastboot" higlighted, press the power button one time to go into fastboot mode.
I cannot find my exact same drivers, but this should be just fine:
Code:
http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachdl/fe66812c2a4bd7da49a109b357afe420/518cba12/5/6/0/4/1/4/adb_driver_htc.zip
Download also Fastboot:
Code:
http://d-h.st/OFs
Plug the phone in the pc, when it asks for drivers, give it manually the folder that is inside the adb_driver_htc.zip.
It should see now the device from the device manager.
Extract the Fastboot.zip folder in a folder you want. (Like C:\).
With the phone inserted in the pc, open cmd (using the search function over start) and navigate to the directory where you've extracted fastboot.
After type "adb devices" without quotes, and see if it lists a device .
Sorry for my bad guide, hope we could figure it out .
You must understand how to use adb and fastboot, that are the tools we use to interface ourselves with the phone, so if needed the internet is full of little and friendly guides
i tryed to root my phone everything was going alright, but wen i went to boot it up i got stuck on
ASUS IN SEARCH OF INCREDIBLE and a loading logo, i can not get in to my bootloader

Probably you soft bricked your phone. I got into a similar situation when I applied OTA after root. Dont worry, its very easy to recover your phone. It should be able to boot in Fasboot mode. If it does, follow follow this guide:
.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-unbrick-asus-zenfone-2-works-on-ota-fail-too-82039/ (Add www at the start)
Download the latest pre-rooted system .img from here:
mega.co.nz/#F!k4MHiAgL!dVuOKeH3eokcwPSNI79ffw
Download the stuff needed and then just follow the guide. Hopefully you recover your device. Best of luck!
EDIT: Forgot to add but did you install the adb drivers? Probably thats the reason Fastboot and adb dont detect it. Or did you go into the fastboot mode in the phone? If not, do that first. To do it, follow these steps:
1. Power your device down.
2. Press and hold the power and volume up button.
3. Release the power button when it vibrates.
4. Release the volume up button once the ASUS splashscreen appears.
5. Now the device should be in Fasboot mode.
6. Then connect your phone to your PC (dont forget to install the drivers!) using the USB Cable and go to the folder where the flashtools are.
7. Hold Shift and right click > then click open command window here
8. Type "fastboot devices". Enter the command two times. (Cause the first time it will start daemon or something like that)
If your device shows up, congrats! You are in fastboot mode and it is working.
now what do i do
i do not know what ferwere i am on and my recovery is broken how to i get it up and runing

Hey,
Could you please help me (or anyone for that matter).....I've soft bricked my phone and I'm a little weary about following any other steps incase I fully brick the phone.
I have a Zenfone 2 that was CN Z00A 2.20.40.63 , I tried to root because random chinese apps kept downloading on my phone and obv it soft bricked (kept looping at boot).....since then I have tried a lot of stuff without luck and my brain is fried from all the information.... I went to the recovery mode but ADP couldn't find my phone and then I loaded a recovery image on my SD calling it MOFD_SD.ZIP but that didn't work due to signature verification error. Now after reading what you wrote I can see that fastboot is recognizing my device....I would go through with the process but I'm afraid if I screw this one up it could be the end of fastboot working and therefore me being royally screwed.
Since my phone was naturally CN Z00A 2.20.40.63 I'm wondering if the pre-rooted images on the site you mentioned above will work? There is no download for CN Z00A 2.20.40.63 and I want to know whether it's safe to use CN Z00A 2.20.40.61 (or a WW image) or whether I have to try another option (if you have any suggestions).
If anyone could reply with help it would be greatly greatly appreciated.

Well, I'm not sure if it'll work but check this out (Scroll down to No. 4 - Changing from CN to WW version):
forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596
I'm no expert, but to be honest the state your device is in, I don't see any other options. Because when my device (it had WW firmware) got soft-bricked, I followed the guide by androidsoul and it did recover my phone. Not sure about yours since its a CN one.
If you like living on the edge and are really desperate, go ahead try this out, if not, better wait for someone with more knowledge then me.
EDIT: I forgot but since ADB isn't working, you can't use this method. So the only option I see that you have is flashing a pre-rooted rom.
