Worst Case and no more ideas (no rom, no recovery)

Hi!
I just tried to change from RCMixHD (D2EXT) to CM7.
As first, I flashed the AlphaRev CM7 image via Android Flasher and right after that the newest radio version via recovery (32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17). Since the radio is flashed, i was unable to flash anything in recovery mode, so i decided to format everything, wipe all data so that I just lost my current ROM. It still didn't work, so i decided to reflash the Recovery via Android Flasher and now I can't even boot into the recovery menu. For now I can only boot into the HBOOT and use the fastboot. I got Micro-SD adapter to put anything to my SD-Card, but currently i got no idea what to do. Are there any ROMs i can flash with fastboot?
Got any hints to unbrick the recovery?
Current overview of information:
Desire is S-OFF
No current ROM (full data wipe)
Recovery unbootable (stucks at AlphaRev splashscreen)
HBOOT bootable
SD Card formatted with 5,5gb FAT32 and 2gb EXT4
Got Android SDK installed on my computer

Flash CWM 2.5.0.7 or amon ra via fastboot, make sure it's the desire version and md5 matches. Then install a rom.

Or go back to stock with RUU for your phone and start again

Thanks for now!
Just flashed the CWM manually with fastboot and i can boot into the recovery again.
However, the recovery is still hanging up when I do any actions related to the sdcard. No update.zip, no manual chooses possible, no wipe.
But for me, it looks like it's not the sdcard which currently ****s up everything, it seems to be the phone itself. I can still mount my sd in recovery, i can also format everything manually, but as soon as i try to install or choose a factory reset, the recovery ends up in a black screen.

edit:
Okay. Looks like i fixed it now by wiping dalvik, battery stats, cache and then wiping data.
Still confused why it works now, but thank you for pushing me into the right direction. Now i can get everything back to work. Thanks!

why hello there!
Has been a while since i had to recover a phone from a worst case scenario, so i thought i could just revive this thread, as there is no desire 310 subforum yet
Rooted it successfully, read a lot of threads regarding MTK-based phones and thought i might be able to get more out of it, as i wasn't completely fine with 4.2.2 installed on a brand new phone.
However, i ended up with trying to install a custom recovery as described [here(would be a link if i were allowed to post them)]. The whole process gave no error, everything looked fine, ending with a "success!"-message, followed by a reboot, showing just the HTC splash... and a reboot... and a reboot... and.. well i guess you know what happened next.
Based on a whole lot of different threads, this might not be the end of my phone, as i can still see the [preloader(would be a picture if i were allowed to link it)] in my device manager, which basically means "hi, i'm not completely dead and you might find a way to recover me".
The question is: how?
I tried out SP Flash tool and MTK Flash tool so far. both programs find the phone when i get it ready to download my previously made backup (hey. i might not exactly know what i'm doing there, but at least i saved everything before i wrecked it! ).
The problem is: I just get an[error message(look above)] about some failed download to SRAM sorcery, which sounds cool and important but doesn't give me a clue about what i'm doing wrong or how to fix it. (cable ok tested 3 different cables, including the one the device was shipped with, also tested it on my PC running win 8.1 x64 and another one running win 7 x86)
Does anyone have an idea how i could get at least a working bootloader/recovery back to my device?
Tell me if you need any extra information
I also link an attachment including the log file created by SP Flash Tool.

Well. That's it. Thanks in advance for anything that may be posted in here

[Q] help with all in one rom load

I am new to the forums and have was refered by someone else to this site for rooting my evo, i located a new sprint lovers all in one rom. I followed the directions on for placing the zip file on the card and booting my phone up. I see it read and load the file once complete i am back at the fastboot menu. i take out the batt to reboot the phone and it still has all my items and does not appear to be running the software. I am i loading it correctly or did i miss something along the way?
Thanks,
Mike

Did you wipe and flash the rom?

no i just put the zip file on my sd card then holding down the "down vol" i powered up the phone. It then loaded the zip file and went back to the screen with fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock, hboot usb. i removed the battery and rebooted. I guess that is not the correct way.

Are you using amon?

I am not sure what you mean about amon? This is the thread i downloaded the all in one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118063

Are you S-Off? Turn off your phone, hold volume down + power button, and look at the screen. At the top, does it say S-Off?
If it says S-On, you can't do anything. If it says S-Off, then look in my signature for my recovery. AmonRa. Click the link, download the PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD card. Turn off your phone, hold volume down + power button, and look at the screen. It'll ask you if you want to update. Yes, you do.
Go back to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118063
Download the All-in-One again. Turn off your phone, hold volume down + power button, and look at the screen. It'll ask you if you want to update. Yes, you do.

It says "S on" what does this status mean?

So now i have spent the day reading all about rom's and rooting i have found most answers. S= security on since i have not rooted my device before. I now understand that there is nothing i can do untill a root is available for the 2.3
Is there anything that con be done to a stock non rooted device with 2.3 to get the wireless tethering ?

No wireless tether, sorry. Use pdanet for wired tethering, but look in the development section. There is a thread about modified Rosie that will work for unrooted.

[FIXED] adb sideload "timed out waiting for package"

Hi guys, i'm new in this forum, so please pardon me if i did something wrong.
i really need a help now, my asus zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) got bricked Yesterday.
this is the timeline why my zenfone 2 got bircked:
1. I rooted my phone without cwm or anything else on around 2 weeks ago
2. Yesterday, i recieved the firmware update message (auto download) and i accidentaly clicked on update now without unrooting first.
3. My phone stuck on the logo screen, loading forever (softbrick?)
4. i've tried to factory reset and wipe all the system cache via recovery mode, but it didn't wok.
5. i looked at some forum and youtube said that i can flash rom my device to unbrick my device with 2 ways : via adb and microsd.
6. using adb sound promising, so i learnt how to flash rom via adb and i downloaded the latest firmware on the official website.
7. i tried to flash rom via adb: i've put the firmware zip on adb folder and open windows command in that folder, i connected my zenfone 2 with usb and start to "apply update from adb" and type "adb sideload xxxx.zip".
8. several times later i got message: "timed out waiting for package, installation aborted".
9. i repeated step 7 and 8 for almost 5 times and the results are same
Can someone help me? I'm really frustated now cause i can't using my phone or maybe share the reference about flash rom with microsd, because i've tried it but i don't really understand how to do it
Thx. in advance for all of you
nb: i've tried to search in this forum, but i didn't find correct answer for me

FIXED!!!
FINALLY I FOUND HOW TO FIX IT IN THIS SITE http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=39487 THE PROBLEM IS PERSIST WITH MINE AND FINALLY I DIDN'T NEED TO STPCK RECOVERY! THX FOR THE REPLIES GUYS

since you know how to go into recovery mode so i'll skip that part,
use this adb tool instead https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001607611

If you have an external sdcard take it out and copy the firmware you want to side load and copy it to the external sdcard. Now name it "MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip" and reboot to fastboot and choose recovery. It should automatically flash the firmware. Move it to a folder when you are done or it will install automatically every time you reboot to recovery.

Recovery Problem/Question

Hello, i followed every step of this guide which brought me to the point where i need to check the boxes in the smart phone flash tool. The problem is when i do like it's told in the guide, it doesnt work and Error 5007 is displayed.
This has probably something to do with the fact that i dont have any locations. My question now, what did i forgot? I downloaded the Philz v3.0 recovery img and used the scatter file and according to the guide this should be enough.
What did i forgot?

The SP-Driver are up to date, updated them completly without an error, and the bootloader should be fine too

Have you enabled it in developer options? after reboot mine re sets itself, just a thought

If you are just flashing a recovery only the "recovery" should have a tick in it. You only tick all boxes when flashing stock image.

Okay, the problem is after i did that, there is no "recovery" in the end. If i go in the recovery mode, i only have the option boot, fastboot and recovery. And if i klick on fastboot there are "No Files". So no factory reset, SDcard check for a rom and so on and on

After you have flashed the recovery do you reboot back to your o/s or straight to recovery? you have to boot straight in to recovery when you have finished (power and volume up)

Stuck on boot logo after magisk update

Hello.
So, my Tab has been working great for a while, with magisk and TWRP installed, today i thought i would upgrade magisk, so i did, both the manager and flashed the latest zip (directly in manager). Happy as can be, i rebooted the tab only to see it now boots up with a broken/distorted samsung logo, and it just keeps on trying booting, but never actually starts up.

So what im wondering, is there any way to save my tab without deleting everything? I have spent a fair amount of time setting it up, just the way i want it. (I can still boot into TWRP, and taking a backup of everything to my sdcard while writing this)
I tried unsu.zip it removed magisk, but still did not help.
Would it be enough to flash this with odin? (seems i cant copy files to device with usb in twrp)
Originak Marshmallow bootloader (I am on 6.0.1)
T800
T800XXU1CPI2
Edit: Flashing bootloader downloaded from xda did not work, "invalid bootloader" message in Odin
Edit2: Bit the bullet and flashed stock in odin, works fine now.
