No, haven't tried via bootloader.
I am not sure how safe is that, I mean i dont have my rom backup and i don't wanna mess and brick my phone trying something that i am not confident of.
So please tell me if Factory reset is safe vua bootloader ? I mean i won't have to install ROM and Kernal stuff again right ? Just a simple Factory reset and my phone will roar back to life after format ? Right ?

This makes me think twice before attempting reset via bootloader.

Hey man, I appreciate you going beyond the line for helping me out by performing a factory reset yourself ! Seriously, Thank you bro.
Haha, since it does nothing, i am glad you didn't have to take pains of reconfiguring everything after reset .
The primary reason i wanted to perform reset was, lately i am getting error "System UI stopped" and really runs low on ram.
Instead of reset, try going to recovery and choose fix permissions. That should help that problem to go away
Looks like the comment that this was a reply to has been cleaned from the thread. Sorry for adding to the ot

Last month, my gnex suddenly rebooted itself when texting, then it just stuck in bootloop forever.
I got it work again only after several times of factory reset and even pushing factory image.
I was using xenon + franco at that time.
However, 3 days ago it rebooted itself again when playing a music app, then the bootloop problem happened again. Somehow it could boot, but within a minute, it reboots and bootloops again.
i was using xylon + ak kernel this time.
I started to think if this is due to hardware problem.. and i took it to store yesterday after pushing the factory image to it. they said this is due to some incompatibility of some apps... (i dun understand why factory image could have this issue...) and did a recovery for me. My phone is reset back to 4.0.4 and it seemed working fine..
Then i pushed back the 4.2.1 factory image to it and still nothing happened. i started flashing back xylon and ak kernel to see if it works. It did run perfect for the whole night until this morning. When i was installing some ordinary apps, eg. air, skout, it rebooted itself again...
Flashing factory image of 4.2.1, 4.1.2, and even 4.0.4 all do not work.
it got past the google screen, and then to the bootanimation for a few seconds and it freezes and color seems weird, and then reboot again.
i have tried flashing through the toolkit and also through fastboot command..
does anyone know what is the problem causing this...
thanks in advance.
Anyone help please..

http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
but idk if the v10 is the same way
but i wiped the system and took the whole os off the phone than restored the factory image
idk if that option is in your recovery tho
or download the toolkit i linked go to fastboot flash the stock image in that toolkit root it (it will install the recovery i use also)
and restore you apps if it happens again wipe the system and do as i said.
i highly trust the toolkit i use it saved my ass alot. i couldnt get the v10 toolkit to work for me at all

But how to stress that this may be due to hardware problem? Since if I just describe the issue, I'm afraid they may think that this is software incompatibility again..

well, it is a common issue with the nexus devices without a sd slot(nexus s and the galaxy nexus).
after a clean flash of Maguro Overdrive milestone 1, the phone is running again...
restored some of the apps.
let's see how long can the phone stand before another round of bootloop...

Op the same thing is happening to me, i also was on xylon and it was running fine and it just started bootlooping. i tried everything toolkit, flashing factory image lie you did and nothing, the only one that works now is ics stock 4.0.4 .if i try any other rom stock or custom the bootloops starts again and it wont boot, it only boots on 4.0.4 .so pretty much the same thing happened to me .
Hi All,
My Gnex with specs
Product Name : Tuna
Variant - : Maguro
HW Version : 9
Bootloader : PRIMELA03
Baseband : I9250XXlF1
Carrier : None
Signing : Production
Lock State : Locked
is stuck at boot screen, i noted that it used to restart when i connect it to my Jabra EasyGo. I have tried to wipe clean the cache and tried turning on/off many times, but of no use. It had Jellybean 4.1.1 OTA update. I am newbie to android flashing/rooting, the problem is i need to restore my data, i have not done any backup other than just apps.
Kindly help me recover my data. Awaiting response.
Well at this point I usually recommend flashing stock using efrant's guide in the sticky, but since your bootloader is locked, I can't see how would you do it without potentially losing all of your data. Although for some reason it doesn't wipe my data when I unlocked mine, I wouldn't gamble it if your data is important.
Have you tried factory reset from the stock recovery? That shouldn't wipe your /sdcard partition.
What happened that you are now stuck at boot screen? What did you do with the phone immediately before this issue?
You could adb pull /sdcard/..

How to stock recover? I did using the volume keys +power hold, but the factory reset has Data/factory reset written over it... don't wana loose the data .... please guide me
your bootloader is locked and you cant boot into android.
as far as i know, there is NO way to get your data back.
Is it must to have it unlocked? any links or threads you could reccommend?

I did nothing at all, i use jabra easyGo, n usually it restarted and came back normal, it happend only when ever i started the jabra and Gnex's bluetooth at same time, i can grasp it was some issue during bluetooth pairing, but it i started bluetooth at Gnex first, it went ok and paired and talked hours. can you help me recover my data?
I think zepius may be right. With a locked bootloader, you cannot boot custom recovery to enable adb, and without custom recovery and no boot, you cannot use adb pull. My mistake, i always assume everybody is unlocked. Looks like that factory reset is beckoning.
Are you rooted?

its heart breaking, Android loosing value, i always defended it in front of iOS.
To be fair, if iOS doesn't boot, hard reset by pressing power+home button will also wipe your data clean.
As the title says. I'm selling this phone (not for performance issues, just I want the iPhone ), and I need a step-by-step
guide on how to COMPLETELY wipe it. No logs, nothing. Back to original out-of-the-box phone. Thank you!

Performing a full data format with a custom recovery multiple times will leave no personal information. Then you can go do your restore to stock ROM

Is this your first phone? First android phone? I mean a quick google search would of told you how to reset as well. Also factory reset is just that a factory reset that puts your phone back to factory specs like when you first got it. Also better information in your post would of been to let us know if you were rooted or not and not your bad phone purchasing choice.... j/k not really LOL
Hope you got it all sorted out if not let us know we will be more than happy to send you off the right way :good:

This is my first android phone, yes. It was rooted as well. I'm having a problem resetting though. I oem locked, flashed to stock recovery, and tried to do the adb usb thing. However, it keeps saying that it cannot read file. Please help! I reinstalled the drivers already. Thank you!

Hello,
I have a potentially suspicious zenfone 2 (550ML/Z008D), and would like to completely erase it from zero.
As I heard, some "hacks" bypass any data wipe under recovery mode, make it harder to erase.
I heard that TWRP will do the job, is this the case?
My situation is a bit complicated, because i don't know anything about android until now.
Hi would like :
-Save my actual "user" data's (apps, preferences)
-Erase completely the phone, meaning that if there is a hack it will be erased
-Re-install android 6.0
-Re "lock" it, make it harder to "unlock" if any people have access to it (maybe bootloader have to be relocked, if an unlock is necessary for this process).
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks a lot community

The device was the one of my company. It's ok I keep it, but I'll work for the concurrent, so I guess it will be wise to do a real reset of the phone. I just want to get out of troubles. And I need your help.
Go to recovery and factory reset it your phone will be new even if u try TWRP it will do the same only thing is u can select what partition u want to wipe in TWRP....And I don't get what spy's hack bypass u are talking about....Once your device is factory reset nothing can be recovered...

i don't have twrp. simple. i want to erase the memory for truth, i know a lot of spying apps can stay even with factry reset (recovery mode and wipe data).
i did not installed twrp yet. but someone on reddit told me it will allow me to erase the memory better than with recovery mode.
troubles it's, if my company "spied" me and continue to do while i work at the concurrent, they can access to private informations. that would be really bad.

Your company cannot put anything on your phone what will survive a factory reset
Unless , they are hackers colluding with ASUS
Do a factory reset , when setting up again after bypass internet set up...click on app drawer and disable all and even uninstall the junk before going online.
What date of build is it , what build is it in settings ?

Personally , I think you are being rather paranoid
Although , the Google chrome app that comes installed give me a bit of grief in the past ..so disabled that...in stock...
You can dump stock , go with the new lineageOS ...trouble is , unless your company are hackers ...or you are being monitored, nothing can stop them from doing so

Was your phone encrypted before you've done a factory reset?
If it was the case, I'm afraid for you, but I hope for global users security, that you can not recovery anythings...

If the data you try to recover was on a device, never locked by anyways, I think you may have chance to partially recover your data.
The first thing you have to do is put your device off.
Then find a computer recovery soft like the one you've mentioned (suport of f2fs file system is requiered), and install it.
Strart your device in recovery mode and plug it to your computer with recovery the software.
Try to see if the recovery software quick search find anythings your looking for. If it does, try the full recovery mode.
If I understand well, your device was never crypted before you lose data, but is crypted now.
So, if the first step don't give any result, you can try a second factory reset in recovery mode, and try scan again. If the second scan doesn't give any result too, you can last try to boot into system and at the first prompt reboot into recovery mode and try a third scan.
I hope this could help you, but I never exprimented this kind of situation so : any subgestion from others users are welcome.
