My phones stucked on Fastboot and it doesnt let me to go(select) recovery or anything.It only read PD99IMG.zip files and hardware keys only work to select yes or no(update or not).I was on CWM recovey and i flashed CWM img.But still phones doesnt let me to get into recovery! Still can reads PD99IMG.zip and only doing that. What should i do?I also tried RUU.exe.But it tell me to connect phone via usb even it still connected.
TIA
P.S.
Flashed CWM recovery image through Android Flasher and able to get into recovery! So i restored previous backed up CM.Everything perfect except these things.Now POWER BUTTON DOESNT RESPOND CORRECTLY and STILL CAN'T GET IN TO RECOVERY BY HOLDING VOLUME DOWN+POWER BUTTON. But ROM Manager CAN get in to recovery! What is now?
1st power button didn't work.Then i gave a factory reset. Nothing changed.After few hours,power button begun to respond, but not correctly. I mean,when i press on power button,screen doesn't off. But when i long press on power button and after few seconds,phone respond(show the power button long press menu).Also i can select Power off,reboot etc..This seems a software problem.What shold i do?
Ah.Another thing,I think i have Stock Hboot.Should i flash CM Hboot because i have a CM rom?
TIA

" [2] ADVANCED BOOT PROBLEMS
S-OFF
"I'm S-OFF, I can't boot recovery and my phone doesn't
boot"
For one reason or another, your recovery image is corrupted
and when you try to boot into recovery, all you get is the
HTC screen and your phone doesn't boot. It is relatively
simple to fix, and there is more than one way to go about
doing this. All you need to do, is to flash a new recovery
image.
Possible causes
- I have no idea, however if somebody has an explanation
then feel free to PM me.
Repairing recovery, booting phone:
NOTE: If you have a PVT4 Device, go to "Flashing custom
recovery". If you are unsure, check just to be safe.
#METHOD 1#
Method One uses Android Flasher to flash the recovery
image.
[STEP1] - Battery pull. Hold the BACK button and the
POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.
[STEP2] - Download Android Flasher
[STEP3] - Download the recovery image . Put it in a place you
can remember.
[STEP4] - Run android flasher, tick "Recovery", and press
"Begin"
[STEP5] - Browse to where you downloaded the recovery
image, select it, and press "open"
[STEP6] - repeat [1] from [STEP4] onwards
#METHOD 2#
Method two uses cmd and requires Android SDK to be set
up.
[STEP1] - Battery pull. Hold the BACK button and the
POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.
[STEP2] - Download the recovery image . Rename it to
"recovery.img" for simplicity, and place it in the following
directory:
Code:
C:\
[STEP3] - then in cmd type the following commands
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk\tools
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
fastboot oem gencheckpt (this command boots you into recovery, ignore the feedback from
[STEP4] - repeat [1] from [STEP4] onwards"
Im trying with AndroidFlasher .Problem is link to recovery.img is not working.Can you tell me the full name of recovery i should google and download?
TIA
download ClockWorkMod recovery for bravo then you can flash any custom rom... 4ext is highly recommended but you should download it via app (download from here)
Is it really necessary to open another thread about your problem?

Hi, My Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250 is stuck in recovery mode as I was trying to root it. I have ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.0.2. It doesnt show the boot loader. just the google logo screen or recovery mode screen. Does it mean the phone is bricked? If so, is there a way it can be unbrick? Apologies for my ignorance. Please Help. TIA
Any progess or updates?
Exact same thing happened to me today :crying:

just soft-bricked phase i think. try flash new boot.img (kernel) or new rom from recovery mode. got any nandroid backup?? just restore if any
This is what I did..
Step 1: Download the link above
Step 2: Extract the zip file and move the extracted folder into "Downloads" folder
Step 3: Open Terminal and type:
cd Downloads
cd GalaxyNexusRootMac
./fastboot-mac oem unlock
Step 4: Plug your phone via microUSB and enter into bootloader mode (Press volume up, volume down, and power button until you feel a vibration)
Step 5: Press volume up and power button to select "Yes" (It says may void warranty, don't worry because you can always lock the booloader if you want)
Step 6: Go back to Terminal and type:
Type for GSM:
./fastboot-mac flash recovery GSM_recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-maguro.img
Step 7: Enter into ClockworkMod Recovery Mode (First enter into Bootloader Mode then press volume up twice and power to select "Recovery")
Step 8: Select "Reboot System Now" using volume and power buttons.
Step 9. Once your phone has finished rebooting Go back to your computer and go to "Downloads > "GalaxyNexusRootMac" and transfer "CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip" into internal Sd card phone.
Step 10: Enter into "Bootloader Mode" (Power off phone, hold down volume up, volume down, and power button until you feel a vibration)
Step 11. Press volume up 2x (twice) and power button to select "Recovery"
Step 12. Select "Install Zip from Sdcard" > "Choose Zip from Sdcard" > Select
"CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip".
Step 13. Choose "Yes" > Go Back > Reboot System Now
Found these instructions at the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1790399
My phone is now stuck in recovery mode.
I have tried doing some troubleshooting with my little knowledge:
Perform Wipe data/Factory reset (this will delete all apps and their settings and game progress) and choose Yes on next screen to confirm the action. Then perform Wipe Cache Partition and once again hit Yes to confirm.
Return to CWM recovery main menu and select Mounts and Storage > Format / data and click Yes on next screen to confirm.
From the main menu of CWM recovery, go to Advanced and choose Wipe Dalvik Cache. Then hit Yes on next scrand messed up the whole situation.
It currently shows:
ClockWorkMod Recovery v5.8.0.2
-reboot system now
-
-
-
-
Standard options
I'm using a Mac and have no idea what to do now. Please help.This is my first attempt at doing something like this. Apologies for any lame input.
Please Help

because of sim slot 2 issue i want to give my phone under warranty
I want to Flash the original stock firmware of Zenfone 2
i have downloaded the stock Firmware file.
how should i flash it. should i flash it using Fastboot method or TWRP directly ?
current recovery : TWRP
If you have TWRP then you must have unlocked the bootloader, which means your warranty is void.
Ya i know... But it is hardware prob. So i don't think so they will check my phone bootloader.. So want to give a try
Do you have the white splash screen? If you do I'd flash the black one back in TWRP, then at least it isn't immediately obvious the the boot loader is unlocked. Next, I'd fastboot flash back to the stock recovery for the firmware you are going to restore (you don't want to leave TWRP on there). Then wipe data and cache, put the firmware on your SD card renamed as MOFD_SDUPDATE, and boot into recovery to flash it.
Thxxx. I had already flashed black splash screen...
Ok finally i need flash stock recovery and then flash the original firmware...

Don't forget to unroot, uninstall xposed, l speed mod, etc. that writes to /system.

He doesn't need to do that - flashing the full firmware file via recovery will overwrite the whole of /system. Only need to unroot etc if flashing an ota.
Hi folks
Can anyone make a guide step-by-step to how back (from cm12.1 to stock)??
Clean install like factory stock!
I think it´s a good action to noobs, like me!
I found this steps, but i donót know if is so simply like description:
http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=12528
"Open adb folder and Shift + right click > Open Command pomport Here (click on it)
On the adb cmd type adb reboot-bootloader
After you enter the fastboot/droid boot, on the adb cmd type fastboot flash recovery <Recovery Image File Name.img>
Example: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
After the recovery flash complete go to "recovery menu" and select on it, after you enter recovery navigate and select "update from adb"
And type on adb cmd adb sideload <Firmware File.zip>
Wait the for the process to complete the phone (~25min), if you have an auto reboot, you need to enter in the "boot loader" and select again "Recovery Mode"
you can now select "wipe data/factory reset" (~5min)
when is finish select "wipe cache partition" (~1min)
and for the end select "reboot system now"
The Boot process Will be Little Longer After This Process PLease Be Patient (~5min)
Finish!

Backup anything you want to keep and export it to PC to re-add it onto your phone later.
Download stock firmware here: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.59-user.zip
Rename it to update.zip to make it easier for you. Put it in the same folder where your adb is located on PC.
http://www.mediafire.com/?afulultx06r70a4
Download latest stock recovery here.
Reboot your phone into bootloader. Open a command window where these files are located (shift+right click in Windows should open a context menu with open command window here option).
Flash the recovery: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Type that without quotes and press enter.
After it's finished, press volume down on phone til recovery option comes up then press power button.
Let the phone reboot. Eventually an error screen will pop up. When it does, hold down power button and press volume up. Release both buttons at the same time. If you did it correctly, recovery menu will now show up.
Choose apply update from adb sideload then from PC command window type "adb sideload update.zip" without quotes.
Then wait 10-20mins for it to finish. You'll be completely stock. Your data and internal storage will be formatted. That's why I said make backups first.

If you looked around the forum and did research, you'd see this is common and MANY people have done it. It's one of 3 ways to flash firmware.

Help Me DUDE !!
Hey There, I need to give my phone for replacement but I had unlocked the bootloader. how do I Re lock it ???
I bought a Z00A online just a few days ago, rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, and then CM12. All was perfect until I realized some hardware problems with the speaker. Also lately it doesn't boot up easily on pressing the power button. In fact every time I have to go to the bootloader and 'Normal Boot' from there. And even that doesn't happen all the time. I have installed the stock recovery, flashed back the black splashscreen, and also the stock-firmware through adb sideload successfully.
Now can someone tell me does flashing the stock firmware through adb sideload re-locks the bootloader or not ??
If no, what are my chances of getting a replacement ???
I'm attempting to go back to stock also. So when I'm in bootloader fastboot and adb do not see the phone. Adb sees it when in recovery and in normal. But I need fastboot in order to flash stock recovery. Right now I have official TWRP and superzen installed. I've tried in both Windows and LinuxMint. With the same results in both. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Weird problem in all my years of flashing to various phones....
okay I go into fastboot and I install TWRP. I'm able to boot into it ONCE and ONCE only. Once I reboot into system if I try and go back into the recovery it just loads up the stock recovery. WTF gives...???
As long as I don't boot the system itself and just constantly restart the phone with that "unlocked bootloader screen" I can keep picking recovery and it'll load TWRP. However, the second I boot the OS, TWRP is gone and the factory recovery is back in place.
I'll upload a video later if necessary to show what's going on....
EDIT: Here's my 3 minute install and please tell me where this goes wrong?
OxygenOS have some files to reinstall the recovery, i have removed them in my rom.
If you want to remove them by yourself:
Go to TWRP recovery,
Connect your phone to your pc and connect it through adb or open Advenced > Terminal.
Type this commands :
Code:
rm /system/bin/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
One one more thing, don't use "vol -" + power, just use vol +/- to navigate in the menu and power to select
At any point did you have to swipe to disable stock recovery?
nope I eventually figured it out looking around elsewhere but thanks guys. After install power down with just power button. Let it sit for a few then start with PWR+VOL DN
like u said u have been flashing for years, but sometimes we overlook the simplest things did u do, fastboot boot recovery twrp.img or did u do fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, what is odd b/c when installing stock OxygenOS it won't install stock everytime, but thank u NevaX1 for the info, i am going to remove it from all my stock roms
I try the ROM this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/development/rom-cleanstock-mm-z00aww-4-21-40-144-t3492278 by By GuilhermeXtreme
README file MM bootloader folder I downloaded from his website:
" * Connect your phone to computer
* Execute upgrade.bat (win), upgrade_linux.sh (linux) or upgrade_mac.sh (mac)
* Script will flash new bootloader bits, reboot to new bootloader and flash new TWRP recovery
* Enjoy ! "
I upgraded to MM bootloader but didn't do "reboot to new bootloader and flash new TWRP recovery" part because I see the version of TWRP in the folder is same as my current TWRP. Then I flash the ROM and reboot but the phone didn't boot to the ROM, logo not show up and stuck at "Your device have failed verification .... " screen for few minutes and keep reboot to it. I tried the key combination to boot to fastboot mode but only see a black screen (phone still vibrate) and no logo.
I attempted to fix the phone and somehow it boot TWRP (thanks God) then I flashed LineageOS successfully.
Still logo lost and meet black screen when try to go fastboot mode.
.
What problem do I have beside losing logo? Lost bootloader? And what do I need to do to fix it?
Thanks so much in advance And sorry for my English.
