I installed the new update on my rooted phone accidentally and it went into a bootloop. I went into recovery mode and clicked erase cache, but my phone died before it was done erasing. Now whenever I start my phone after the ASUS loading screen, and sleeping android with a red warning signal and the text 'ERROR' start flashing every three seconds. I can get to the bootloader screen fine, but when I click recovery mode and the phone restarts, its just shows the blinking android error screen and I can get the recovery mode option by pressing power+up.
When plugged into my computer, adb doesn't recognize a device is connected (I have all the drivers). So I'm stuck right now.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated!
Same thing happened to me, finally while in the bootloader I used fastboot to restore it, I used the big ZIP file from Asus website and did a fastboot sideload of it
fastboot?
How do I go into fastboot from bootloader?
Thanks!
You are in the bootloader, it should display "waiting for fastboot command" or something like this, in a command prompt on your PC type "fastboot devices" and your devive should appear there.

kk perfect it shows my device, what do I exactly type to sideload the zip? I placed the zip file in the adb folder. Do I type 'adb sideload xxx.zip' ?
argh no you can only sideload from ADB, you must go into recovery to use adb sideload, you cannot use it from fastboot
In recovery mode you have to select "apply update from ADB" first

From bootloader I go to recovery mode, it restarts goes to the error screen, but when I press power+up nothing happens. The error screen just keeps blinking. If I can just get into recovery mode ugh

Ok, it took me a few minutes to get into stock recovery, too! From bootloader, boot into recovery. Wait for the "installing update" screen to turn to Android error bot. Then hold down power button and quickly press volume up and then release both buttons at the same time! If done correctly, you'll successfully boot into stock recovery. If not, keep trying! It can take a while to get the timing right. Stock recovery on this device is very annoying!

So the blinking Error screen isn't a problem? I've gotten into stock recovery before pretty easily, but the error screen wasn't blinking when I got in.

No, it's not a problem! I thought it was as well, no worries - easy mistake to make, especially since getting into recovery mode from that screen can be tricky!
Easy way
Works with problems regarding wipe cache sudden hang or reload and showing android robot with "error" message + no recovery options avilable.

@varunanduri.......... You are a GOD! Nothing from the web helped me except this comment.
Hello.
I need your help.
I bought this phone (Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 4GB/32GB 1.8Ghz) recently on online store. It is CN version but it already came with WW firmware, but not the latest (I believe it was WW 2.20.40.90 but I'm not sure).
Then I tried to update to the latest WW version 2.20.40.139 by putting firmware zip file from asus site in internal memory. The phone recognized this update and started to upgrade. When it reboot, I got an error of a blinking droid with the word "Error" below, and the phone doesn't boot anymore.
I can get to fastboot mode, but no to recovery mode. When trying to enter recovery, I got some errors (cannot mount /cache...) and it goes back to the blinking droid.
I cannot insert images and urls so the text errors include E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid Argument) various times
In fastboot mode I tried erase cache, format cache, format userdata, flashing latest WW recovery, boot, fastboot and system, but nothing resolved issue of blinking droid with error.
I tried other how to that uses a CWM recovery and I can get to that recovery, can clean and wipe, tried installing asus zip firmware from external sd (WW and CN) but without success (I believe it had CN recovery SKU but WW firmware -is this possible?). After rebooting the phone is still in the same error (blinking droid).
Here is fastboot messages (format userdata gave an error):

Is there a way to get the phone working again?
Thank you very much.
After flashing the recovery image, you should be able to get into the recovery mode, and sideload the full zip file. Don't flash the system image.

Before flashing WW 2.20.40.139 recovery, boot, fastboot and system, I tried flashing only recovery, boot and fastboot from WW 2.20.40.90 but couldn't also get into recovery mode. Always the same error.
Maybe the firmware zip file I copied previously (when the phone was working) to the internal memory was somehow corrupted and it remains there?
Is there anything more I could do?
Thank you very much.

I think you should've updated to version .97 first. So download .97 recovery from here,and try it again.
Hello KillerNo2
Could you please share another link, because the one you posted in not working?
Thank you.

Hello. Recovery .97 didn't work also. It has always the blinking droid and doesn't boot.
I could run tethered (without install) TWRP recovery and tried to install full zip rom, but TWRP couldn't also access /cache partition. TWRP cannot mount cache and system partitions.
Anyone can help?
Thank you very much.

Hello,
i am just thinking i bricked my Galaxy Nexus.
But first i will describe what happened:
My device was running fine with 4.3 Cyanonogenmod Nighlty builds for a few days but yesterday in the car the device suddenly was stuck in a bootloop.
After arriving home i tried to fix that by removing the battery and give it a few minutes.
But my device was stuck in a bootloop after that.
I tried to reflash ROM and RADIO few times but nothing helped.
I was in TWRP Recovery and wanted to get CWM just to rescue some files via USB before flashing stock ROM.
So i got the toolkit and tried to flash a recovery and the script told me all worked, but there seems not to be any recovery on the device anymore.
When i boot into bootloader and select Recovery i am just getting the battery symbol and nothing more happens.
I flashed a stock ROM via toolkit without wiping userdata but this did not help, too.
Now i am stuck with a device that does not seem to have a recovery and does not boot behind the Google Logo.
Also the device only reacts to the power button anymore when on external power via USB wire, not on battery.
Any suggestions how to continue or just rescue my files from the "sdcard" ?

Drop the toolkit, learn how to do it proper or stop flashing stuff before you hurt your device.

I've never had a similar experience so but from reading several similar topics I will suggest that you flash a factory image. Not a STOCK ROM, but the actual factory image. It *should* re-lock the boot loader and default you to complete stock.Your files will be gone but assuming the files aren't overwritten you can still recover them per the instructions on this thread. As others have suggested, lay off the toolkit. Without it, you will be absolutely sure as to what is going on with your phone. Read, read, read, read before doing anything you're unfamiliar with.

4.3 first bootup times is much slower than previous versions. Let it boot until it reboots itself or something. If after 45min it still going at it, I think you have two options:
- my first suggestion is to return to the bootloader, and follow this thread's first post. No need to reflash bootloader or radio, as far as I can tell, nothing's wrong with those two. Erase, then format all the remaining partitions.
Code:
fastboot erase partition_name
fastboot format partition_name
Flash all the remaining partitions: boot, recovery (a custom recovery if you'd like, beware of 4.3 changes - not sure all the custom recoveries have updated accordingly, check dev section), system, userdata, cache.
Code:
fastboot flash partition /path/to/filename.img
- my second suggestion is that you search of a way to enable adbd, to see whats going on. That might require some extra steps, such as editing init.rc i believe.
Anyways, if you return to the bootloader, and try to
Code:
fastboot boot /path/to/cwm_or_twrp.img
What does it do? Can you use your custom recovery now?

After that i flashed the partitions once by once per
Code:
fastboot flash partitions /path/file.img
with the files from the factory image.
Sadly no boot possible.
Then i tried to boot my recovery by
Code:
fastboot boot /path/to/cwm_or_twrp.img
but it happens the same as before:
after selecting to boot into recovery from fastboot mode the google logo appears for a few seconds then the screens goes black and returns with the battery charging symbol.
After turning the phone off and booting again into fastboot mode i can read in red letters: "FASTBOOT MODE - NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG".
This stays the same after flashing a recovery image via fastboot :crying:

After that i flashed the partitions once by once per
Code:
fastboot flash partitions /path/file.img
with the files from the factory image.
Sadly no boot possible.
Then i tried to boot my recovery by
Code:
fastboot boot /path/to/cwm_or_twrp.img
but it happens the same as before:
after selecting to boot into recovery from fastboot mode the google logo appears for a few seconds then the screens goes black and returns with the battery charging symbol.
After turning the phone off and booting again into fastboot mode i can read in red letters: "FASTBOOT MODE - NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG".
This stays the same after flashing a recovery image via fastboot :crying:

Use omapflash to restore your bootloader. See this thread's post with useful links. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812959
I sent in the device to the repair and got it back a few days ago.
Some "broken parts" were changed and i got a new battery.
Now my Galaxy Nexus works again like a charm
Don't really know what parts were broken but it seemed that it was a hardware failure.
Thanks to everyone who helped! :good:

Hey fellaz!
I messed up woth my n7 2013 lte.
I am getting error message "not enough space" trying to flash system via fastboot.
I could flash bootloader & radio only.
I tried to restore to stock manually (via fastboot) and using Nexus Toolkit ...

How to fix?

I couldn't boot into recovery even after I flashed it via fastboot. Tablet boots up into bootloader mode directly. Doesn't metter if I press vol up+power or enter Recovery from bootloader mode.
But anyway I will try again once I come back home.
Greetings,
So I suppose I made the mistake of not locking the bootloader before flashing the factory NRD91D image. Current situation is that my Pixel C is reporting unlocked bootloader but I can't flash TWRP. Fastboot indicates a successful recovery flash but when booting into recovery it comes up with the sad little dead android and "No command".
My goal is to get rooted N, obviously. TWRP would be nice.
I think I read somewhere that I can:
1. Flash factory 6.0.1
2. Flash TWRP
3. Wipe everything
4. Root
5. Lock bootloader
6. Flash factory OTA to N using Flashfire with SuperSU Injection.
I've been trying adb fastboot and I sprung for skipsoft hoping it could magically bail me out but no luck.
Anybody else stuck in this situation? Does anybody have 7.0.0 rooted with TWRP? If so what steps did you use?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
I been using Skipsoft and its saying the device is unlocked. The bootloader screen says its unlocked at the bottom, but also says no recovery OS is corrupted. I've tried to lock it with oem lock/unlock as well as flashing unlock. The system does not report errors while unlocking/locking, but I'm unable to flash anything.

These are most of the commands I've tried. This is on my mac. The windows machine SKipSoft will say it's unlocked, but during flashing will throw back that it's locked (bootloader reports unlocked)
I included photos to show it does say it locks/unlocks.
I contacted Google and that was a disturbing experience. Both times you can tell support is reading from a script. They both promised someone from 2 tier would contact me, so far nothing. I'm willing to pay to have the thing repaired, but sadly you need the 2nd tier person to call you to even find out if that's possible.
ok but you must wait that after lock/unlock bootloader the userdata is formatted automaticcaly!
reboot into fastboot
type fastboot flashing/flash lock and waith that userdata is auto formatted
flash stock firmware
if you dont do this the error still persist due to damaged userdata partition
---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------
i want help you .... i ve got this error last month and i fixed with this.... follow this tut:
- use a pc with windows 7 installed
-download google usb driver ( adb and fastboot) latest
reboot device into bootloader mode , connect it and open terminal and use fastboot flash/ flashing lock ( now pixel c will automatic format userdata partition corrupted)
after the process is ended( 5/10 minutes) you are able to back to stock ... dont try to flash tpwr , first i reccomend factory image 7.1.2 august for pixel c
after flash stock reboot configure the sofware , go on setting and if the device is already unlock reboot info fastboot and flash tpwr ( fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img)
i reccoment latest stable tpwr
actually i have this and i have resurrection remix latest + f2fs data cache+ xceed foolowsi kernel with fsync off, zen scheduler
very smooth and fast
every time you lock/unlock bootloader you must wait that userdata is formatted by device ( this during 5/10 minutes usually)
I pasted the output before to show that I've done as you suggested several times. It says its unlocked after the lock/unlock process (look at my previous commands). Once you input those commands, you hit power to say yes and the device will reboot. The below process is from SkipSoft Android Toolkit to better explain the issue as explained in the title of this thread.
Are you ready to start? Type y[yes] or n[no]:y
Device mode detected: Fastboot Mode
Device Serial Number:
Device Bootloader State: Locked
When prompted, Press the Power button on the device to Unlock the Bootloader.
If it is already unlocked then this will just be skipped and your device will not
be wiped. After unlocking the device will reboot to recovery to erase the device.

As I said you will have to jump through many hoops. They will want you to email support, then you have to wait for a call back. Expect no one to be able to help you, even though they will keep bouncing you around. I'm not sure if its 100% guarantee they will send a replacement after a few contacts. If they do send you one, prepare to have them hold around $550 for the refurbished unit to be sent and the old one returned to them. I sold the new one as fast as I could on swappa, because of the lack of recovery options for the device and the messed up unlock/lock flag error that this thread is talking about.

I had a situation where I locked and unlocked in fastboot and still had TWRP recovery installed so the OS protection kicked in and prevented me from booting up normally.
I booted into TWRP recovery where TWRP has built in root access.
I copied the fwtool to the SDcard while the tablet was booted up normally using the PC but, if you can't boot up, ADB push command from a PC would have also placed the fwtool onto the tablet sdcard (adb push fwtool /sdcard).
I used the command adb shell and thus was sitting on the sdcard root where the fwtool was placed. I issued the fwtool command directly from the sdcard location. I did not copy the fwtool to any place else.
adb shell
fwtool vbnv write dev_boot_fastboot_full_cap 1
The command was successful and, I was then able to have full flash access back.

Sorry for the Resurrection. Can somebody explain how they fixed this, I have the same situation exactly. Access to TWRP and fastboot etc, but the dreaded FAILED (remote: unsupported command) stops me in my tracks. I can only lock and unlock the bootloader.
Good Afternoon,
I got the Google Pixel XL from Google's Play Store. I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, and tried to root the phone. I'm not sure what happened, but TWRP is now not asking me for my pin and not of my partitions /data /system /vendor are mounting. I'm thinking because the device is encrypted. Is there a way to force the pin unlock on TWRP?
Not sure what to do here...
Thanks,
Chris
The following is what TWRP is displaying when I try to select slot A or B for rebooting.

Nobody has anything? .... Am I just screwed?
Flash stock images and start over.
If you set a pin in rom it will ask for it to decrypt your data. If you dont have the pin it wont decrypt and have issues like your having.
Nexus's or excuse me pixels are forgiving phones ha.
TWRP is not asking me for a PIN but I set a PIN. I was asking me for a PIN, then I tried to flash the stock rom and it booted into twrp w/o prompting for a PIN.
How can I flash a stock ROM if the phone doesn't have a partition for me to push the file to? It's showing 0mb available on the internal storage. I tried a USB OTG and it didn't recognize it either.
Cause your not gonna be using twrp to flash stock images. You need to go through bootloader and use fastboot.
Any good walkthroughs on flashing stock back on the phone then? Sorry for being a complete noob on this.
try this

Go to "https://developers.google.com/android/ota" and download the OTA you need. (X for Verizon)
Copy the OTA zip file to the same folder that ADB/Fastboot is in.
Reboot phone to the bootloader (Hold Power and Volume Down while powering on the phone) Use the volume keys and choose recovery.
Or at the No Command screen hold power and while holding power press and hold volume up for about 5 seconds, let go of volume up and power and it should take you to Recovery.
Choose "Update from ADB" in Recovery.
Open command prompt on your pc in folder that has fastboot and adb.
enter: adb sideload name_of_ota.zip (Replace name_of_ota with the correct file name.) (Don't have two " .zips" at end of name)
This will take a few minutes and will fix you up.

Actually, best bet is following directions here:
https://developers.google.com/android/images
because OTA is for updating, where factory image flash-all may be a more complete method.
Sent from my sailfish using XDA Labs
Thanks, but I keep getting "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file." for every OTA zip. I didn't try the verizion one as this is not a verizon phone.
Best way to learn how to fix a device is to break it first right? haha...
I downloaded the factory NDE63P image from this link (https://developers.google.com/android/images) and ran the flash-all.bat. Below is what was ran and now I'm stuck at the loading screen.

Thanks, but I keep getting "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file." for every OTA zip. I didn't try the verizion one as this is not a verizon phone.
Best way to learn how to fix a device is to break it first right? haha...
I downloaded the factory NDE63P image from this link (https://developers.google.com/android/images) and ran the flash-all.bat. Below is what was ran and now I'm stuck at the loading screen.

When you flashed/fastbooted the twrp image did you install the two you flashed/fastbooted?
I'm not sure I understand the question?
In rereading the TWRP instructions, yes I booted to the img and ran the zip.
I fixed the issue with not being able to decrypt my partitions by fastbooting to the twrp image again.
So.... I tried to install the factory image.... now my phone is bricked and I have the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in device manager.... anyone have the BoradDiag for Pixel Xl or the Image Files?

Is your bootloader still unlocked. Can you still boot to bootloader.
Bootloader is still unlocked, not I can't boot to bootloader.
I'm within my return window, I'm thinking about returning the phone to Google. Thoughts?

You can't boot bootloader with power and volume buttons? Does the phone turn on at all.

No, it's bricked. When I plug it into my computer I get the chipset as a device, no ADB or anything.
I just received my Android 10 update and after the update when it asked to reboot I tapped reboot and now it has been stuck in a continuous bootloop. My phone was not rooted or modded in any way. I was able to boot into the recovery selection menu but cant go into the actual recovery (it just says "no item" when I select recovery).
Any help/suggestions?
You can reflash the ROM using the full OTA package, as is stated by Google in https://developers.google.com/android/ota : This page contains full OTA update packages that allow you to restore your Nexus or Pixel device's original factory firmware. You will find these files useful if you have experienced a failure to take an OTA. This has the same effect as flashing the corresponding factory image, but without the need to wipe the device or unlock the bootloader." You also have in that page instructions of the whole process.
All you need to do is reboot into recovery, enter adb sideload mode from whitin it and send the zip OTA file using your PC and adb. Download QP1A.190711.020 version under Pixel 2 XL.
In order to boot into recovery, when you see the Android robot with the "no item" message keep pressed the power button and then short-press volume up until the recovery options show up.
It after that it's still failing, just format within recovery or flash the full firmware stock package.

Are you flashing the OTA or the full firmware? For the OTA bootloader unlock isn't necessary.
And in the instructions are stated the opposite, you must have misread it.

hi, so luckily i had oem unlocking checked before this happened, but after the october update ive been stuck in bootloop.
ive tried both sideloading the ota in recovery, and also full firmware flash via fastboot.
after several attempts at both, i can't seem to access the recovery and bootloop persists.
any ideas?

if you can confirm a couple things for me....
Are you actually getting into the recovery, but not seeing any "items"; because in stock recovery, you just see a broken/dead android image, and only get selections revealed/not-hidden but holding the volume-up & power button at the same time momentarily.
But, then again, you claim that you have attempted to "sideload the ota in recovery", so I imagine you already did this…but then, again again, you don’t describe what “error” or outcome actually happened and it could possibly be that, when you attempted, you just couldn’t or didn’t know how to get into the stock recovery…
Also, the recovery resides in the boot partition; I suggest you download the Full Factory image file (from the Google Developers site), extract it until you can find the boot.img, then manually flash it to overwrite and maybe fix the boot & recovery; to further explain, copy the extracted “boot.img” file to platform-tools folder where adb and fastboot reside, then run the command “fastboot flash boot boot.img” – although, if the flash-all is successfully executed, it would be doing this anyways…..
Which brings me to my next thing…if you could edit the “flash-all.bat” file and remove the word “exit” at the end – and for that matter, if you wish to save your data, remove the -w as well – and if you could please copy the output/log of you running the flash-all; usually this resolves everything & it all, so maybe it’s here that something is going wrong…
And running Deuce’s famous rescue script has saved/recovered countless people and their device (taimen)…it definitely is a good idea to attempt it…
But, then again, this is assuming that you made sure to run (and successfully execute) the fastboot command “fastboot flashing unlock” and/or (depending on your bootloader version) “fastboot flashing unlock_critical”.
Good luck, hopefully you can get back to me/us on some of this stuff, and hopefully all this ends up being helpful…

yes i've tried everything you've suggested (flashing boot separately/removing exit from flash-all/running deuces script), however i haven't been able to access the recovery since i last messaged so i haven't been able to retry an ota flash from recovery. (the screen is all black and a green line of fuzz blinks across the middle of the screen when holding power and volume up) i did however get into it successfully once, and when i did there were no errors at all.
the strange thing is there are no errors when flashing either. it just does not get passed "Google" without rebooting. i just tried another flash-all after flashing unlock & unlock_critical so here is the full log in case im missing something:

Curious....
I would suggest you try Deuce's script -- again, it has assisted and recovered countless taimens. And, if that doesn't help, I would suggest you try temporarily booting into TWRP custom recovery. If you do not know how to do that, download the TWRP .img file from twrp.me (you'll have to direct yourself to the Google Pixel 2 XL [taimen] section), put it where you put the flash-all and other image files, then run the fastboot command "fastboot boot twrp.img" (replace "twrp.img" with the actual filename of the twrp image file). There you can erase/format the system and/or other partitions, or even "repair" the filesystem! You can also run adb commands, so you might have some luck and be able to install/flash an OTA image file as well....
Good luck and hope this helps...!
