I have the htc g2 and it's rooted, I was running elitemod gb for awhile until yesterday when all of a sudden my shut itself off while I was playing music. I power it back up and when I do it just says system update and it shuts itself up by itself before I can swipe the screen to unlock it. So I thought it wasn't a big deal, just do a complete wipe factory/cache/dalvik and still no dice. So I wiped again and this time reflashed the rom and still no dice. So I downloaded 3 new roms, elitemod ics, cm9 sense and that old stock rooted rom for this phone. And still no luck, everything goes as planned until it finally boots up and says system update and it shuts itself off. I wiped front to back and nothing works. I'm running latest clockwork recovery. So I looked for a superwipe zip or something, I found a thread that has the superwipe g2 and used that and flashed a stock rooted rom and others and still does the same thing. My last and final theory of a remedy is to use a different recovery, but I can't download 4xt recovery cuz I can't use my phone, so I tired the downloading the zip by itself on my wife's phone and on computer but clockwork says aborted. Can anyone give me the recovery zip or have any ideas on how to fix my current issue?
Download the image from 4ext website, then wipe and flash the image via fastboot
fastboot -w
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(Of course rename the image to recovery.img)

Can you tell me a step by step on fastboot method? I have the recovery.img file on the root of my sd card but it doesn't do anything when I press fastboot?
correct, fastboot is a .exe program tha works similar to adb, which if you rooted you own phone then you should have some familiaity with it
I assume you have a pc, so simplest way is
rename and put the .img in the same folder on pc as fastboot.exe (probably platform-tools in the sdk)
now plug in phone and boot to fastboot mode
hold shift and right click in the folder with fastboot and image and choose open command here
now type fastboot devices, you should see your serial number
now type
fastboot -w
now type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
now type
fastboot reboot bootloader
now reboot to recovery

Why does it have to be so complex? Why can't there be a flashable zip that you can flash in clockwork like many devices? Is there a flashable zip? That would be more simpler. I do have my pc, and it was a pain in the ass to root this phone since it was my first time downloading the android sdk and the other stuff that told me to download.

This is for the people [myself earlier] who cannot boot into Android (bootloop or worse), have no download mode, no recovery and can only boot into Fastboot. Download the file below, I have included fastboot (for windows) and the appropriate files to flash, all you have to do is run the commands in order below, then boot into download mode.
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase aboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash boot 6-boot.img
fastboot flash aboot 4-boot.img
fastboot flash recovery 10-recovery.img
fastboot flash laf 11-laf.img
fastboot reboot
It is best to use the CMD.exe file in the folder provided so you will already be running the commands from that folder without having to change directories. If you're on Linux then make sure you have Fastboot installed then run Terminal from the folder and run the same commands. This will restore the STOCK download mode and recovery partitions not TWRP or CWM.

How would one go about repairing a broken download mode when all I can do is boot into a broken recovery? I cannot issue any fastboot commands as the device is only recognized as an ADB Bridge device. Are there ADB equivalent commands to accomplish the same things as you have detailed here?

well you should never install any OTA with a custom recovery install. you should always keep at least one backup on your phone to restore to in these events. but i would try downloading a rom and installing via sideload before nuking any partitions. which is easy with TWRP. the sideload menu should be in Advanced then ADB Sideload and the command is adb sideload filename.zip and it will take awhile depending on the file size. make sure the file name is simple and it is placed in the folder you are running the sideload from.

Yes yes I know... it was a moment of weakness late at night and I didn't think before telling the girl to go ahead and upgrade. That being said... Part of the problem now is that the one backup she made just up and disappeared. The ADB sideload option just hangs and never actually does anything. The original Stock Rooted file I had still on the sd partition doesn't fix the issue when I flash it... it looks like it flashes ok but on the next boot it just drops me back into TWRP right where I began. And download mode is still borked.
So let's talk thermonuclear resolution on this motherlover.... where do I begin?

i would try to rename your rom to something simple, like rom.zip. there cannot be any spaces in the name and it does need to be in the same folder you run the command from like you seem to be doing.

did you try vol+ and power together? When a functioning rom is installed it asks to do a factory reset but it may get into fastboot if you nuked that partition. i haven't tried this yet but if you're in adb sideload in twrp maybe the command
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
might help

Tried all of the above.... they all just send me into recovery or broken download mode
damn
I'm screwed. I gave this a try and now all I get is a black screen. The phone will connect to my computer but I can't send any commands to it through the command prompt. When it connects to the computer it opens a bunch of different drives and says I need to format them. I can't get into download mode and when I try to send a command in the prompt it just says waiting for device. Any ideas?
Edit: It shows up in device manager like this: http://i.imgur.com/NXGxpcX.png

that's it now your bootloader as been unlocked and installed philz custom recovery
NOTE: In this stage i suggest you take full nandroid backup which is very very very useful in future and dont delete that backup ever.
i always suggest philz because which works on both touch interface as well as device hard keys
TO ROOT YOUR DEVICE
-> Place "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip" in your internal or external Sd card
->reboot to recovery and select install zip from storage and browse to the folder where you have downloaded the superuser.zip
that's it now your device has been rooted

thnx alot.i was trying this for more than 2 hours.but your pda method worked
Thanks
Thanks the first method worked for me. But there is one problem everything is done successfully but I am not able to boot in Philz recovery by pressing vol up and down key with power key. It boots to stock recovery.
Then I used the command of fastboot to boot in philz recovery. It booted in that but it doesnt boots while pressing the vol up and down key with power key simultaneously. Any idea why its not booting?
Thanks

Yes it won't show any kind errors
But recoveries are not at all flashing after ota update using adb
So follow above steps
The above given code will redirect u to recovery only once
At that time flash the supersu.zip. so that device get rooted
After that use flashify app to flash custom recovery for using multiple times

No don't need to flash recovery every time
Just flash the recovery after rooting using flashify app
Then onwards you don't need flash again and again

ZE551ml "continue the fastboot process" prompt in fastboot,can't boot into recovery
I tried to go back to stock rom from CM 14.1 Unofficial following this youtube tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inzG5MLS2y4
I downloaded 2.20.40.196(Latest Android L) but couldn't find appropriate recovery for it.So I searched xda and got one.
I followed this sequence:
1.) fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
2.) fastboot flash boot boot.img
3.) fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
the boot.img and droidboot.img being extracted from the stock rom itself.
But after flashing, it shows "continue the fastboot process" in blue and selecting recovery option reboots the phone and brings it back to fastboot.
I CAN ACCESS FASTBOOT MODE,MY DEVICE IS RECOGNIZED BY MY PC.
But there is no recovery.
Kindly suggest what to do in relevance to my post.
Should use Asus flash tool. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3452082

cool down buddy. it was for informational purpose only. he was already using commands to do so. i just told him the correct way.
second for using AFT he have to download raw firmware. which is more than 1 Gb of data which will be costly if he is using mobile data to download. as he mentioned he already downloaded LP firmware from asus. with above method. he will be able to install the earlier downloaded zip file without any additional firmware download.
third as he mentioned he was on CM. i doubt installation with AFT might not be successful. he may have to flash stock ifwi and recovery and boot etc...
