Are you able to get the device into fastboot if you have adb showing working in the windows device manager if your on windows when you switch it on and it's at the black screen?
If so go to android sdk hang over the platform-tools folder within and right click it and select open a command window here,now get hold of ouyatoolbox 1.0.0.0 or another version of this tool,now go back to command and then type adb reboot bootloader and hit enter,check to see if you have fastboot pop up in windows device manager now, and if it shows yellow the best i can say is get it working asap. Then go to ouyatoolbox and click install CWM Recovery it should bring you to the recovery,you then go to install from zip then to install zip via adb option and download an ota firmware file from the net on your pc one that matches the firmware you had before on your ouya, then drop he download into android sdk/ platform-tools folder as a zip file as it came downloaded,go to the open command window you opened from platform-tools and type in adb sideload (name of the ota firmware zip file ) hit enter,this should unbrick it by installing the ouya system firmware from the file,if not then go back to the ouya recovery by turning off the ouya and press power then hold in alt+printscreen & every 2 seconds press i until clockworkmod recovery appears or an ! press home button then,if your in adroid system recovery 3e try to adb sideload the firmware,if not working it means clockworkmod didn't install and you must try again because built in recovery is not functioning with sideload firmware option,so if your in the clockworkmod menu just click these factory data reset then erase cache then go to advanced and click erase then click erase dalvik cache then click install from zip then go to install zip via adb option click that and try type adb sideload (name of the ota zip file)in command window you opened from platform-tools and hit enter,this should apply the update and unbrick the console.
If not then there is something more wrong than just the firmware at a guess,sorry if the guide is a bit poor but it's the best i can do.

Messed up, looking for a bail out

Was running MMuzzy, tried Omni, decided to go back (no statement on Omni, just didn't want to deal with new, setting up and such) and the only backup I have is in TWRP... but I switched to CM to install Omni... and like an over eager cleaner, I deleted the install files for everything last time I was in Omni... then I went into recovery, wiped and realized I need TWRP to restore my backup (no files found in CW)
All I can do is boot into recovery and I cannot figure out how to set up windows so I can put an install file on there to run so I can get back to TWRP and clean this mess up. I tried installing the Samsung drivers on an XP workstation but the computer doesn't find drivers when plugging in the phone... I pointed to the samsung/drivers folder in programs but no luck.
Bail a ding bat out?
Bump
Can anybody explain how to get this thing viewable in windows? (With no phone control)
Please.... and thank you in advance!!!
I am ready to pay someone for help on this
Help me get this back to life... name a reasonable price
Use efrant's guide in the stickys to flash the factory image and use his link for Windows drivers. It always works and his fastboot tutorial has saved my device more than once.

For my instructions, download these, you will end up using them:
1. Android drivers for windows, I would prefer Universal Naked Driver (UND):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766220
2. Android debugging tools (ADB), I would prefer minimal ADB:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269
3. TWRP recovery image: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/90 download the last version you remembered using or just use the latest openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-maguro.img
Install 1 & 2 in order. You may need to have the phone boot to recovery to install #1. Installing the drivers in Windows XP/7 will be easier, Windows 8/8.1 requires an advanced step to disable unknown driver enforcement.
For #2, if you have ADB/Fastboot already, skip this step. If you don't, then you may need to install it while in recovery too. Install it to a folder you are familiar with, I would choose C:\ and make an Android folder.
After you have both installed, boot your phone to bootloader mode. When it is shut off, hold VOL + and - at the same time then press the power button for all 3 simultaneously. It will boot into bootloader mode, where you see the android and your Galaxy Nexus revision/software details.
Move the TWRP recovery img file to the location of your ADB folder. For my example, I will assume #2 (adb tools) are installed in Local Disk (C and the android folder, so C:\Android
From here you would use the command prompt/terminal start > run > cmd or start, find program Command Prompt.
In the terminal type cd\foldertoTWRPimgfile\ or in my example, cd\android\
Next, type fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-maguro.img
my example would look like:
C:\android\ fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-maguro.img
it will show a progress indicator, then OK'd when it is finished.
You can then manually boot to recovery in fastboot, hit a volume button on your phone a few times until you see RECOVERY, then hit the power button to load it. You should now be in TWRP and be able to restore your backup, hope it is still there. Since it is likely that you were last using an older version of TWRP for MMuzzy, you might notice differences if you flash a newer version of TWRP.

[Q] Am I bricked?

Please help! I am new to this and am worried I bricked my phone.
I successfully rooted my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus using a toolkit. It was then working fine with 4.2.2. I wanted to install Shiny Rom 4.4.2. I thought I successfully backed up apps and data using Titanium Backup.
I successfully moved the correct zip files to my phone, and realized I needed Clockworkmod recovery. I followed a procedure to get this on my phone by using my computer's command prompt. I successfully booted into Clockworkmod recovery and followed the process of wiping data/factory reset, successfully installed radio and bootloader recommended to install with ShinyROM but got stuck and could not install the ShinyROM itself. I think it is because it requires a later version of Clockworkmod. The one I downloaded using the procedure was 5.5.0.4, but I think I need a later version. I tried following the same procedure using my computer's command prompt and it got stuck at "waiting for device". I cannot get out of Clockworkmod recovery now (even battery pull, etc.). I then found some threads saying I need to restore my old ROM first. (I think) the only ROM on my phone is ShinyROM. I am stuck and stressed out because I do not know of a way of "pushing" the new version of Clockworkmod to my phone.
Can I fix this, or do I need to start shopping?

i think u already wiped data partition at first, that why your Rom installation aborted bcoz recovery cant mount any partition.
still got your old system partition here.
from recovery ~ try adb sideload your shinyRom. can your pc detected bootloader (fastboot)/recovery?

Regarding partition, I have an option to wipe cache partition. Should I do this?
Update
Well, I went ahead and tried this, and still could not install ShinyROM.
I tried to follow a procedure in the link to use ADB sideload.
I downloaded (full) SDK and updates and updated the drivers. When I get to the following steps from the procedure...
-Boot your device in recovery mode (Android logo with a exclamation mark) and connect your device to PC
-Hold down "power" button first, followed quickly by "volume up" button. You should now see the recovery menu
I only boot to CWM and there is no Android with Exclamation mark. Holding down power button only selects whichever option is highlighted within CWM.
Also, it seems within CWM, there is supposed to be an option to sideload a zip file. This option does not exist in my version of CWM.

Thanks. I found another thread that led me to the same conclusion, except I was able to do it with CWM and fastboot the latest version using ADB sideload. I still haven't posted enough to link, but here were the details from user camblue.
"
If you know how to use ADB you can always fastboot a recovery.img,,,,this thing is almost impossible to truly brick. IN order to get into fastboot just connect to your computer and run adb with these commands
adb reboot bootloader
once in fastboot mode write this
fastboot devices
that will tell you if your device is connected and reading in fastboot mode if it is you will see something like fastboot and some numbers next to it. If nothing you do not" have the fastboot drivers installed.
then to fastboot flash a recovery.img write this
fastboot flash recovery r3-recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.0.4-nexus7-modaco.img (or whatever recovery.img you are using or have in your tools folder of you SDK location).
and in order to get right into CWM if you cant boot write this
fastboot boot r3-recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.0.4-nexus7-modaco.img
hope that helps

Installing Clockwork Recovery

Hello
I am following the following tutorial below to install the clockworkmod recovery but when I enter the cmd fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.0-ace.img. The cmd prompt displays the message "waiting for device" but does not do anything. Am I doing anything wrong?

2. Extract files from the package to your Desktop.
3. Connect your smartphone to the PC using the USB cable.
4. Double-click the Start Here.bat file to open the Command Prompt Window.
5. Enter the following command into the Command Prompt Window:

Were your drivers installed with the phone unplugged?
-Check your data-sync cable,It should not only allow your device to charge but also data-sync.( Try with another data-sync cable)
-As you stated drivers are installed.Then when you're on bootloader,It should show HBOOT-USB. If that shows than try doing same thing again.
Or else follow simple steps below:
-Copy CWM recovery.img into fastboot files.
-Unplug your device if connected to computer.
-Manually power off your device.
-Press Volume down + Power button,It will redirect into hboot.
-Select Bootloader by clicking on power button,It will change color of HBOOT from Blue to Red.
-Next thing you'll notice that it stated as HBOOT USB.
-Put your phone on side and do same commands fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.0-ace.img
-Fastboot reboot.
Once process been done. Unplug it and boot device normally. And to check whether there's a recovery.img installed or not,Just power off your device and put on charge. In CWM it will redirect your into recovery mode while device is switched off.

How to Flash the Stock Firmware

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...

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.

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.

LG G4 H815 frozen on LG logo after attempting root/TWRP

Attempted to root phone use ADB and fastboot.
during process noticed difficulty in getting recovery mode open manually and had to use adb reboot recovery, whereupon android recovery picture was there but no menu options.
Could not install TWRP conventionally thus attempted the method shown here.
"NSTALL TWRP
Make sure you have ADB and Fastboot installed.
I always put TWRP.img in the ADB folder - so if I want to boot into TWRP with out installing it this is what I do:
make sure you open a command prompt in the ADB folder "VERY IMPORTANT" and type:
adb reboot bootloader <enter>
fastboot boot TWRP.img <whatever your TWRP image is called in your ADB folder><enter> dont forget the .img at the end
That will re-start your phone straight into TWRP - You can transfer files to and from your computer while in recovery.
If you want to install TWRP permanently, copy your TWRP image to your mobile "while you are in TWRP RECOVERY mode" then press install, then select images, then select recovery NOT BOOT, then swipe to flash. This method does not install TWRP app on your phone, all you need is a reboot app from the play store that will re-boot you into recovery. "
Flashed both twrp image and super-su within the TWRP booted from pc through adb (as shown in the previously mentioned method).
Upon reboot phone has hung at LG symbol. LED is flashing. ADB recognises device as connected however won't respond to reboot requests.
How do i fix this?

Upon reboot phone has hung at LG symbol. LED is flashing. ADB recognises device as connected however won't respond to reboot requests.
How do i fix this?
