Help! Bootloop

hey so i got my nexus stuck in a boot loop, flashed something i shouldn't have and didn't android... i know. also, deleted all the roms off my sd card. i can get back to cwm but theres nothing to flash, is there anyway i can mount usb storage from cwm and put a rom on there?
edit:
i tried the method below, flash went well with odin, but im stuck at the boot animation, any other solutions? Is there some sort of sure fire way to return to stock? I thought odin would be it but its not happening
Fixed!! this seemed to work for me. had to run fastboot commands
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366806

anybody? somebody?

I'm having the same issue, which sucks. Been working on trying to adb file push a rom zip to the phone, but have not been having much luck. Anyone know how to do this correctly? I think it would solve the problem for both of us.

I don't flash ROMS but couldn't you get into fastboot and flash the stock image to the phone?

While your in recovery:
adb push file.zip /data/media

Another option is to use odin and flash chainfires 4.0.2 image...just gotta get the device into download mode. Im actually suprised odin is not being utilized more on this device.

That is where I am running into problems. I keep getting the following error:
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Thank you for your assistance.

Come to think of it, thats a good point. On the GSII I was running a few months back Odin was how to do most of the flashing, ect.
I'm downloading the .tar now and going to give it a try.

That is the exact link I was downloading from. Thank you for the help. Worked perfect! I totally forgot about Odin.

your welcome...glad it worked! Honestly I hope more development is geared towards using odin before I get a gnex.

As much as I love Odin, I came from a Vibrant, fastboot is more flexible.

awesome thanks droidstyle, that should be a sticky, my phones in download mode but the drivers included with pda werent what my pc was looking for, now on the hunt for drivers to flash this

bahhh no luck, anyone have drivers to get windows 7 32bit to recognize the phone in download

I was stuck but found a post that said to just oem lock then oem unlock again, and it worked! Takes about 5 minutes so just wait after the oem unlock but it worked for me...
Can't use adb in fastboot by the way so that is no good...

Yea but odin is more reliable... .tar files are much better than .zips, less of a chance for something to corrupt.

hey so i finally found some drivers for download mode, flash the pda file through odin and im on the boot animation forever, any other ideas?

Try going back to stock and then leaving the phone well alone?

Thats the part im having trouble with. I cant get back to stock. Could there be something i flashed thats preventing the phone from booting? Everything went through in odin. It flashed the rom kernel and radio but wont go past the boot animation

Grab this if you don't already have the adb and fastboot tools. It also contains Paul O'brien's boot image that will root for you.
ADB & Fastboot Utilities
Grab this for the Samsung ADB usb drivers - helps detect fastboot.
Samsung ADB USB Drivers
Download the images for your respective device from Google. This is a tar and zipped file (not to be confused with an Odin tar file). If you use something like 7zip to untar it you will get a file with no extension. Add the .zip extension to it and then you can unzip it.
CDMA ICL53F Images
GSM ICL53F Images
Boot your phone into fastboot and plug it into your computer. Install the ADB Interface drivers from the Samsung ADB USB drivers I posted. Run a "fastboot devices" to check if everything is connected, installed, and working (it would be "fastboot-windows devices" if you used the fastboot tool from the download I posted above). Once you confirm connection then follow the steps in this thread to using fastboot to restoring your phone to factory 4.0.2. The instructions are for the CDMA phone but if you are GSM replace the necessary files with your respective device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399210
I decided to pull the fastboot commands from that thread and put it in this post. These are the fastboot commands you need to issue to flash the bootloader, radios, and ROM images for a CDMA phone. You can choose to skip flashing the bootloader.
4. Type the following commands, allowing each to finish before moving onto the next:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-toro-primekk15.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-toro-i515.ek02.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

hey thanks, yeah just did this right before you posted it, worked like a charm

Bricked GSM Galaxy Nexus(please help)

So im got this gnex borked an I am rtying to fix it. So far i have tried every known method(usb jig,toolkit,omap flasher, fastboot) basically everything in the book.
The phone itself will not boot up except by running omap flasher. When running omap flasher I can boot up into fastboot via plugging it in and holding all buttons. In fastboot the volume keys do not work. If I start off by trying to flash a bootloader it gets stuck at writing bootloader. If I try to flash a recovery it will say unknown partition. The jig does not force it into download mode.
Please advise me on what other steps to try.
Thanks in Advance.

just a little update I am able to boot into cwm by using fastboot boot command this allowed me to have a window into adb. I am not able to mount tanything in cwm including sdcard and /sytstem
I checked the partitions to see if they are O.K. and you can see the result in the attached pic

i tried the fastboot boot bl.img and it made it hang at the google screen with padlock

i think you should try ot flash a factory image , if you cant do this via adb , use some toolkit ,,,

If i do that It gets stuck at writing bootloader.

If you had a backup saved, it would have been easy.
Edit: Sounds like the sys permission might have been changed or something you installed could have altered the bootloader.

Try
Code:
fastboot format bootloader
before flashing?
It does look like your partitions are derped. There should be A LOT MORE partitions to show. Hopefully partition info is still there, so you might as well use fastboot to format everything else (recovery, userdata, system).

Code:
fastboot boot
is only for booting kernels, so that obviously doesn't work.

Actually i use fastboot boot to boot clockworkmod... So it works for recoveries too.
And i agree that the partitions do not look right.
Would you fastboot flash bootloader?

Yeah. Get a bootloader from the factory image.
You can use fastboot commands right? Format every partition you can think of, except for bootloader. (system, userdata, recovery, boot)
Then flash a bootloader.
This may screw up further, but I can't think of anything else, so if all else fails, then go crazy and format bootloader? What modes can you get into and how?

I thank you guys a lot for helping me out. I will try your suggestions in an hour and report back here.

Sheesh...you got no partition info, so fastboot can make them.
Your NAND is pretty well fried I guess.
It might be time to get a replacement.
I don't know how it might be possible to repartition with having a partition info table. Mayyybe somehow you can get the partition info and have the whole internal storage mounted on your desktop, but that doesn't seem possible.

Fast boot mode started, can't go to download mode

Hi Everyone
Sorry for my not so good English.
I have problem with my G3 and maybe someone can help? I instal root without problem, than I try to install Twrp recovery and after that I have that message ( [780] fast boot mode started) all the time, I try to do hard reset, click yes twice, but getting the same message, Is there any chance to unbrick that device when I can't go even to download mode?
Thank You very much for any suggestions

help!
help my G3 died the same thing happened!

same to me...

What model(s)? Youll need a pc, adb/fastboot, stock laf.img and boot.img for your device. Youll use adb commands to erase these img files and restore them with the new ones. Once you have adb running and recognizing your device with both files in same folder as adb you'll type adb erase laf [Enter] then adb flash laf laf.img [Enter] do the same steps for the boot.img. Next type adb reboot [Enter] you'll still be in fastboot but just pull the battery. Then replace battery and you should be able to enter download mode by inserting the usb and pressing vol +(i believe, it's been a while) and then kdz flash..

I can see a different screen for a split of a second but it's going back to Fastboot mode...

@SaharLevi
Here's the fix Quick and easy
need to have fastboot, I used ubuntu can install with sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
info on fastboot
[TOOL] [WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer
also need recovery.img, I used the lastest twrp
In terminal
fastboot boot recovery.img
this will boot your phone with the img on your computer.
in recovery restore or install a good boot or kernel.
your phone should be good to go after that.
I had my phone fixed in about 5 min, I really should not play around with boot partition.
Also should be able to flash boot if you have a good one,
fastboot flash boot boot.img

[Q] huawei p6 stuck on ascend logo

Hi, i have searched the forum before posting this.
my phone is stuck at the logo and i have tried pressing all possible key bindings (power + up, power + down, power + up + down) but still i can only see the log. I also tried to use adb fastboot but when i search for my device (adb devices) it says my phone is offline. And right now i can't even turn off my phone, so the battry is draining right now.
please help me as fast as possible as i dont think i can charge my phone

have you pressed the three buttons longer than 10seconds?
if not,try it..hold them until the screen changes (might take up to a full minute!!!!)..be patient..
to reach the bootloader (where adb can find your phone),hold power and vol. down until the huawei logo apears and stays (looks like it seems to be stuck)..then connect to the pc and wait for a few seconds..in adb cmd type "fastboot devices" (without "")..you should see many "?" and weird things in a line - thats ok! - your phone is recognized then..
from there you can start the adb cmds you want to (and can be found en masse here in this forum)..
hope this helps

My phone is fixed now, first i was using windows 8 to solve my problem but there was something wrong with driver for the phone, so i tried using my friend PC windows 7 and the driver installed automatically.
Now you need to connect your phone to the PC and hold power + volume down together until the phone restarts and the Acsend logo appears, now you can relase the buttons.
After that you need to type "fastboot devices" in the command promote, you should see a message like this "????/??,,? <>??????".
if you get the message let me know, i will tell you what you need to do next

[Q] Hardbrick after overwrite fastboot

Dear All,
I hard bricked my ZE551ML 64GB by using the following sequence:
'fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img'
'fastboot flash fastboot recovery.img'
'fastboot flash fastboot boot.img'
'fastboot flash fastboot system.img' <-- got error only at this stage
So don't do it it is totally wrong.
Now I got the usb logo when i go to fastboot, see attached image.
I can see a procedure for Zenfone 5 to recover from this error here:
http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2014/11/how-to-unbrick-zenfone-5-and-zenfone-6_8.html
My question is does the same procedure exists for Zenfone 2 and where to download all the files?
Thanks

I believe most of the programs there should also work for the ZF2. I would give this procedure a try, and I wish I could get my hands on a Bricked device to try this. But remember, DON'T use the ZF5/6 images!

Get the stock images for the ZF2 from: https://www.asus.com/Phones/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/

What are FZ DnX, IFWI, FW DnX and OS images files ?
How to extract them from the site you mentioned?
Another issue, is my PC refuses to regonise the ZF2 when connecting to USB, saying MTP Android USB driver failed to install....

I have no experience with FZ DnX, IFWI, FW DnX files, but the OS image file is on the site I posted.
Follow my link. Once there, expand the list 'Firmware' and download firmware Version WW_2.15.40.10. Once its downloaded, open the zip file. Inside should be a System.img file. Extract the System.img file into your Fastboot folder. This is the OS image the guide is referring to.
Ask around for the meaning of the other files. Meanwhile, I will research more about those files later tomorrow and get back with any info I can find. Good luck!

install driver manually. see attachment.

When you plug your phone into the computer, does the phone show up in the device management? Typing devmgmt.msc into the windows 7 start menu or the start run menu on XP is the fastest way to get to Device Manager.
Is the device already known by your computer?
What does device manager think it is?
If its unknown, please let us know what the Hardware Ids and Compatible Ids for this device show up as. In device manageer, you can open the devices properties and under the details tab choose Hardware Ids and Compatible Ids. you could screen shot these with Alt + PrtScn and use mspaint to save them off. Otherwise you have to use Ctrl + C to copy them out . You can choose all lines by selecting the first and while holding Shift, select the last. Then you can Ctrl + C to copy all of them out.

Looks like you've flashed incorrectly.
Should be
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
What you've essentially done (or tried to do) is flashed over fastboot with 4 different images. Only the first line of commands you used is correct.

Yes got this sequence from this forum,,, anyway I go the phone replaced now and all is fine.
Thanks people for the help.
I won't be rooting this phone until there is a more safe proven way to do it.

I think that avoiding flashing droidboot and recovery, and making sure file hashes match, everything should be fine.

Same issue

Dear All,
I hard bricked my ZE551ML 64GB by using the following sequence:
'fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img'
'fastboot flash fastboot recovery.img'
'fastboot flash fastboot boot.img'
'fastboot flash fastboot system.img' <-- got error only at this stage
So don't do it it is totally wrong.
Now I got the usb logo when i go to fastboot, see attached image.
I can see a procedure for Zenfone 5 to recover from this error here:
http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2014/11/how-to-unbrick-zenfone-5-and-zenfone-6_8.html
My question is does the same procedure exists for Zenfone 2 and where to download all the files?
Thanks

I put my 64gb sd in my ZF2 that I originally partitioned for my LG Optimus Pro and I moved a bunch of apps to the SD with link2sd and the first time I rebooted, the same screen with the USB logo and a full progress bar showed up. It won't recognize any fastboot or adb commands even though the ASUS adb is showing up in device manager. Nothing else shows up. In devices and printers I get Moorefield. The phone randomly reboots and goes back to the same screen over and over and each time the asus adb disappears from device manager and then returns. I found a guide on the zenfone 5 that looks promising, using the intel flash tool, however it requires the ZenFone 2 raw firmware files and I can't find them... Hopefully someone could help me salvage my ZF2 cuz I was really beginning love the phone... Thanks ahead of time for anyone that looks into this for me!

i can give you the files you look for. the easiest was is to flash with intel flash tool. Here you can read how th etool works and you found a link there.
I load your files up now here.

sry, had only the files for V5. I will load down and put it here.

Lol @ "got sequence on this forum" and "more safe proven way."
You didn't read the instructions carefully enough and made a big mistake as a result. The correct sequence was given. You just didn't read it carefully. Lesson learned.
Hopefully you can unbrick it.

No offense, but this type of thing is what happens when people just copy/paste and don't understand what they're doing.
What you did was overwrite the fastboot partition each time you flashed. You flashed a 2GB system img on top of your fastboot partition. This probably seemed like it locked up and you either unplugged or turned it off. This likely caused a corrupt partition.
Reading is key when you do anything with your phone.
This is perfectly safe. This is the way it works for all devices. It has nothing to do with the files or the phone. This was 100% user error. Simple as that.
