How can I wipe cache partition in ASUS Fonepad 7 (K00Z) tablet? - Asus Fonepad 7

I'm running ASUS Fonepad 7 (K00Z, with KitKat updates installed). Here is what I already tried:
1. I started the phone in `fastboot` bootloader by pressing the `Power + Vol-up` button, but it has only these five options:
- Reboot.
- Reboot fastboot.
- SDCARD Download.
- Factory Reset.
2. There is no `Recovery mode` where I can delete the cache partition.
3. I also turned on the developer options in settings and then run this command from my linux laptop: `adb reboot recovery`. But the tablet just starts and quits the recovery screen saying "No command found" or something like that.
Is there any hope of being able to delete the cache partition?

go to 'fastboot' bootloader by pressing 'Power + Vol-up"
connect device to pc using the usb cable. you can use any operating system.
run the command 'fastboot devices' to verify that the device has been connected.
run command 'fastboot erase cache' to wipe cache partition

Thanks for the response. I've already tried that, but didn't work. Unfortunately, ASUSTek has decided not to put a "Wipe Cache Partition" button on their fastboot screen. Already raised an issue on Android StackExchange and also written to ASUSTek , but still awaiting a reply from them.

Disconnected Because Service Is Unavailable.

Hey guys, I've flashed CM 10.1 Nightlies mod today then installed gapps package, went to home screen to set up google account, unfortunately I dont have a working wifi connection in my home, so I use 1GB Mobile Data plan from my cellphone provider, I set up my mobile data account but still it says disconnected because mobile data is unavailable, I thought it's a ROM issue, so I downgraded to 4.1.1 Blade Rom with Sense 5, but still it shows the same problem, I'm going crazy here as I cannot setup my google account. What possibly could've gone wrong?

Flashed boot.img?
If not do this:
Go into hboot by holding power + volume down until you reach bootloader
Then go into fastboot (press power button)
Then extract the boot.img from your current rom.zip
Put it in your fastboot folder and type the following command in cmd:
'fastboot flash boot boot.img' (no qoutes)
Press enter. Then type this:
'fastboot erase cache'
Reboot and it should be working
Press thanks if this worked!

Hey thanks for the reply, there's a slight problem, before my phone goes to fastboot mode, it gives a bunch of errors, it says Failed to open USB master mode....
EDIT: Did accordingly as you said but doesn't work, same problem. Also did you mean to install a fresh rom again? or just re do those steps.. I only redone the steps but not installed the rom.

Just do those steps, you shouldn't need to reflash rom unless you flashed modules for a different kernel?
What hboot do you have.
And when you were in bootloader, did you enter fastboot and did any errors come up in CMD?

nope kernel is 3.1.10ncx_314-g24718f8-dirty root @n3ocort3x-tuxbook # 148 SMP PREEMPT
and when starting the bootloader, the error of Failed to open usb in master mode comes up, then it starts normally to HBOOT, then After I choose fastboot the same error comes, but it goes away and comes Fastboot USB
Those "errors" are normal, its because the usb cable is connected.
I think your phone is a bit of a mess now. Restart from scratch
1: flash the boot.img from the rom you want to install
2: perform a full wipe in recovery
- factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- advanced - wipe dalvik cache
- mounts & storage - format cache,data,system
3: install the rom.zip

did accordingly to what you said, but still it didn't work, also flashed the new rom "insertcoin's (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588669) but no help (((((((
ps: i didn't flashed the kernel, I'm confused which kernel should I install, also I don't know how to flash kernels ....
also, after wiping cache partition, dalvik, mounts and storage, my previous files in the phone(like all the folders) were still there... :|
BUMP!
Flashed a kernel that day ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136731 ) phone battery life seeems to be great but my data service problem is still there, I have provided the screeenshots below, please have a look, where am I going wrong?!
I have followed these steps while installing the Kernel:
Spoiler: Install Process
Install modules from recovery (Install the zip)
Wipe dalvik cache. Yes, it's important, the versions could have some binary level differencies (from different compiler options) which can lead to unknown behaviour with old dalvik code.
Erase fastboot cache
Flash kernel image with fastboot
If you have problems with some functions not working on your ROM, then repack. Otherwise it's not needed.
Try configuring apn manually

HELP blink sleeping android error on normal boot(not on recovery mode)

I can't boot up my device it's have blink sleeping android error. (my device is ze551ml running WW_2.19.40.22 firmware and never ever ROOT!!! )
I tried hold power button and press volume up button but its doesn't work.
I also can't access to recovery mode too.
It's have the same blink error message and can't pass by hold power button and press volume up button.
Oh but i can access to fastboot page.
and my computer don't recognize my phone at all(i already install driver)
Before this problem happen I get in to recovery mode try to wipe cache but i miss press and i selected "apply update from adb"
and that time my phone doesn't connected with PC. I don't know what to do so I turn off my phone.
then I open recovery mode again and select wipe cache then I go out to take a bath.
I came back and see my phone is off so I boot it.
It's booting about 2-3 mins and nothing happen so i go to recovery mode again but this time they have problem like i explain before(blink error message that can't pass by hold power button and press volume up button)
So anyone have a solution for my problem. please I really need your help!
Sorry for my bad english
Hi,
I had this when I went to wipe my system cache and it failed. Your best bet, especially if you can't get into recovery is to fastboot flash the recovery again if you have an unlocked bootloader.
If you don't you'll want to unlcok the bootloader and follow the instructions for using ADB if you're new to it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596

If you hold volume down and power, it should go to bootloader first, then you have your choices for recovery....Get it to the bootloader screen, then run the commands to unlock it...
Could you please tell me everything step by step on how to cure my phone?
I'm very noob.
okay thank you.
I can start it now
THANKS!!!!!!!
p.s. i use fastboot erase cache code

Glad you have it working...It seems that wiping the system cache can be problematic at times - Perhaps it's a bug.

Hey I'm having the same problem, how'd you get the computer to recognize that the phone was plugged in? My computer does not recognize that the phone is on when I have the flashing error screen, so ADB doesn't recognize that there is a device connected.
Hi,
I had the exact same problem, and I managed to boot up again thanks to you!
What I did :
Install ADB and Drivers
Boot my phone into Fastboot (Power+Volume Up at boot, keeping VolumeUp button pressed while booting). Don't go into any menu (do not select recovery or so). At this point your computer should recognize your Android phone when you plug it in through USB.
Open up a cmd with admin rights, navigate to adb install path by typing : cd C:\adb
Then type : fastboot erase cache
It should trigger an action on your device, and the prompt should display sth like "Cache successfully erased" (I don't remember exactly)
Finally type : fastboot reboot, press volume up while booting again, and access Recovery like usual!
Now you can try wiping your partition cache again.
Worked like a charm for me! Thanks a lot

Z00A stuck on Error! msg during boot, can't access recovery

So here's the deal, I tried to format the cache partition of a stock, non-rooted and non-unlocked bootloader Zenfone 2 (Z00A) through recovery, and it somehow failed/got stuck. After about 1h, I shut down the phone via long-pressing the power button and now it won't boot.
Booting it just leads to an "error!' message and stay there. Trying to go back to recovery does the same thing, I can get to the initial fastboot screen, but selecting recovery mode and pressing power+vol up after the reboot doesn't lead to recovery at all. Instead, every 5 or 10 seconds, the screen clears to black for 1 sec and the same error message shows up.
I tried to get access to it through ADB, but it won't show up in the device list under either the fastboot screen or the Error! message screen on which it stays stuck. Also, the phone was setup so that it didn't allow USB debugging, but I doubt that matters, given that it can't even load Android at all.
Is there something I can do about it? Any tip is greatly appreciated, I looked around XDA and Reddit but didn't find anything that really helped.
When you get to the Error screen, hold power and press up volume button. It should get you to recovery...
You can also clear the cache in fastboot mode using the command "fastboot erase cache". It will ask if you want to format/erase cache, say yes and it should clear your cache in a few seconds...

Thanks, I had tried various variations of that approach but the issue was a bit more complex than that. In the bootloader, the phone was detected by Windows and drivers from Asus installed properly. ADB wouldn't list the phone, but fastboot did. However, any operation by fastboot was denied access because USB debugging was not enabled prior to the phone going down. Otherwise, as you mentioned, fastboot erase cache would have worked fine.
In the end, I found another post on XDA by Theja which linked to a post in Spanish. The modified ADB and fastboot packet there contains a batch file that manages to bypass this issue and installs CWR, from which clearing the cache is possible. Upon reboot, Asus replaces CWR with the original recovery and things look back to normal.
Sweet, as long as you got it back up and running...

Hehe, thanks. I'm pretty happy indeed, was already considering the need for a new phone.
However, I must say that finding this toolset worries me a little bit. I thought the whole point of disabling USB debugging was to ensure that people can't perform low-level operations on the phone via fastboot/adb. In this case, this protection is somehow bypassed. I didn't have time to read through the entire batch file, nor am I proficient-enough in Android to make sense of it all, but I wonder how it was done...
In any case, I now have USB debugging left on. It increases convenience and the ability to recover things if problems occur, and it seems like the security benefits are not that strong anyways.

Zenfone Z00D cant boot. Doesnt pass asus logo

Hi
My problem started when my son forgot hos passcode to unlocked the phone, so i knew that a simple hard reset thru Recovery Mode will do the trick... well this phone didnt that option on Recovery mode menu only had:
-system reboot
-update via adb
-update via sd card
So i found a thread where one person suggested to erase the phone thru fastboot on a pc and flash a new recovery.img and the latest firmware on the phone will do it following this commands:
' fastboot format cache' wait till it's done
- 'fastboot erase userdata -w' wait till it's done
- 'fastboot erase system' wait till it's done
- 'fastboot erase recovery' wait till it's done
So last command "erase recovery" came up with an error saying unable to erase. Could not flash a new recovery image and now the phone will not pass the asus logo. So i need help really bad
Thanks for any input

XT1676 - Stuck in Unlocked Bootloader, after Wipe Cache(?!)

Problem: Stuck in unlocked Bootloader
Hi all,
i am stuck on bootloader and cant get out.
On my PC I have "Minimal ADB and Fastboot"(v. 1.4.2.) installed and after i open a command prompt(admin) and type
- "fastboot devices" my phone is listed as <NR> fastboot
so that works as the only positive thing i can say
- "adb reboot", *daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037*
*daemon started successfully*
error: no devices/ emulators found
- "adb reconnect", error: no devices/ emulators found
i am not into the adb commands at all, i am a dummy and i would be so glad if someone could lead me out of my problem.
Maybe a word how i got into there:
1) i installed the minimal adb and fastboot(v1.4.2.)
2) i unlocked the bootloader by doing that over the Motorola UNLOCK Bootloader site
3) then i rooted & Flash Twrp Recovery (twrp-3.1.1-0-cedric)
with "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-cedric.img"
4) first time entered into twrp recovery and i did the following:
A) a factory wipe-> reboot back to recovery mode->
B) install no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1-> reboot and let system start before i turn off phone and enter bootloader(vol down+start) again
C) after entering recovery mode again, i install Magisk-v11.6 -> reboot->
D) now everything seemed to work, the system started properly rooted.
E) but then i decided to flash once again the Magisk-v11.6 followed by wipe data/ factory reset cause i wanted to completly do the flashing all over.
(dont ask me why i did it.. i could explain and tell you my intention but well it happened anyway and brought me to where i am stuck now)
but that was on this move not all yet: i also wipe dalvik cache
so after wipedalvik/ cache , since that moment i couldnt access to my SD Card anymore as it simply didnt show up anymore.
after a restart i was my first time in an endless bootloop of that Screen with "Erasing"(, the letters sourrounded by a spectral colored circle)
i had to disconnect the phone from power . also i tried to remove the battery for a day. but it would only get me back into that bootloop and only get me out by removing the battery...
i dont know anymore what happened then when the phone now got stuck in the bootloader instead of the bootloop. But yea, now i am stuck here, appreciating any help :highfive:

oh my, i just helped myself by reading my first poste here on the forum from 2016.
i made it now to start twrp by downloading the twrp_cedric_3.1.1-0 once again putting the recovery in my adb folder and type
<fastboot flash recovery twrp.img>
followed by <fastboot reboot-bootloader>
i am curious if i can get going now and if my SD card will be read and if i can get a new flash going...
now back in twrp i go first again to wipe/ factory reset.
now going to reboot, and reboot back into recovery. only gets me back to bootloader from where i can enter twrp manually now(but there is already an indication of the problem i have?)
also before the reboot, it doesnt ask me to install the twrp app anymore where i usually choose "do not install".
now i go to install the <no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1>, flashing it successfully as it says at the end of the process but there is also some error message in the log before the ...done:
Failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)
now i thought i should be able to boot the system again but i only get back into the bootloader...
can someone help me how to proceed correctly?
did i miss something to flash?

For failed mount data goto wipe & select format data (option on the right)
Reboot to recovery
For always going into recovery either you don't have a rom installed or read the faq section on my twrp thread as the answer is there
First of all thanks TheFixItMan, that you are behind it and your thread looks really cool and i will immediatly read and try to understand it!
For now i am stuck in the following:

You have to select recovery from the bootloader menu to enter recovery
You can also type in a terminal window whilst phone connected to pc in fastboot
fastboot erase userdata
This will erase all internal data (the same as format data in twrp)
Important Notes For Stock Rom Users
When you first start TWRP it will ask you to swipe to allow modifications - If you do this your stock rom will no longer boot unless you disable dm-verity.
This can be done either by flashing a disable dm-verity zip or by flashing SuperSu zip which will disable it for you
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ok, stock rom didnt boot so i flashed the "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1" .zip
and voila, i could boot the stock again finally! yipie!
but three things i noticed:
1) the boot progress is suspicous / wrong/ stuck at a moment:
"hello" and "moto" i still see and before the letters of moto start spinning around, the screen freezes for like 2-3 seconds and the next ting i see is the red mouth and cameleon and so on
2) i tried to test camera real quick and it says camera is busy
camera unable to start. if this repeats please power off your phone and restart.
(i did already 5 restarts now and still same problem)
anyway, i wanted to install a ROM now, something like Cyanogenmod.
in this context i wonder what the Magisk-v11.6 does? Does it just give superuser permission and is it always required?
3) system only gives me option to Power Off System(no reboot possible)
and that power off and turn on always gets me first into bootloader tho i dont press vol down+start
Edit:
ok, i have here 3 issues still but it goes offtopic already. i throw a thanks first of all at TheFixItMan and then i think thread cna be closed.
I will soon try to install a ROM, like LineageOS 15.1 , and hope that my previous 3 issues will be solved in the process. . .

Cyanogenmod is now lineageos
Use the latest version of magisk to root (see official magisk thread on xda)
You can run modules to mod phone without tripping integrity or dm-verity which if false will stop apps that check if you are rooted from working
Magisk hide can hide apps from detecting you are rooted on a per app selected basis

Phone should power off normally
If it can't be started normally without going in bootloader and selecting normal startup see my faqs in twrp thread & follow guide to wiping the misc partition
Note if flashing lineageos 15.1 you will require the 64bit version of TWRP available on the lineageos thread - I did not compile this & don't support it
It also doesn't support encryption as far as I know so if you are encrypted you will need to format data & remove it else the rom will get stuck at the decryption screen

that was not exactly the problem. my problem is that either i press restart system from system or from recovery, i first get a stop at the bootloader. from there i can just toggle to START and confirm. then my system boots. its just that i first need to confirm in bootloader the Start, always!
at this point i tried now anyways from your Official TWRP For Moto G5 Cedric- Thread |||||| your solution from your faq. But yea, it obviously doesnt fit my problem cause putting the lines in cmd prompt gave me that result and boot still does a stop at bootloader.. before i can start system or recovery..
So yea, after the first codeline didnt trigger for an unknown reason for me...
i hadnt the courage to even try the second more relevant codeline!

That error means your phone is not connected to your pc
Make sure you have enabled adb debugging in phones dev settings before booting into recovery
If you type
adb devices
It will list all devices attached
Once your device is listed the commands will work

and you think that your commands fromyour solution here helps me with my issue that i can start straight to everywhere i want? Cause atm I just always have to go over the bootloader -"stop". From there i have then to manually "START" in order to start system (now: LineageOS 15.1:victory or where i have to manually toggle down to "RECOVERY MODE" and start TWRP.
Well, i would give it a try, but yea dunno what i am doing wrong here atm. i just realized that the command "adb devices" never worked for me yet, cause i got in conflict with the command fastboot adb devices which effectivly works for me. Cause before i installed lineageOS 15.1 i had to flash the twrp cedric 3.2.1-0 x64. i did that over the adb command prompt:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and in that process i even let my phone restart to bootloader with
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
.
now i went to tab build nummer 7 times-> dev options "on" -> android debugging enabled.
when i go to bootloader now or to recovery, and connect my device, for a strange reason in command prompt "adb devices" shows that:
... i dont know why the cmd "adb devices" doesnt show my device. maybe there is a twrp setting i need to change?

Does it display a device when the phone is fully booted
If yes than the recovery you are using doesn't support adb (my official recovery does)
If no I recommend downloading the full android sdk and using the adb that comes with that (you will find it in the platform tools folder where you installed it)
Hello, thx for your support.
I linked the wrong picture. This Screeny shows the related cmd (when dev enabled, booted to recovery, connected via usb to pc and typed adb devices).

it shows the same like linked above and when in recovery mode
so no , the 64bit version of twrp cedric 3.2.1-0 prolly isnt the problem.
If no I recommend downloading the full android sdk and using the adb that comes with that (you will find it in the platform tools folder where you installed it)

ok i will try that. and the command prompt i have to open from the directoryy<platform tools folder> then right?
would you deinstall minimal ADB and fastboot before installing full android sdk?

still my phone isnt found
- sdk tools installed
- dev enabled
- adb debugging enabled
- command prompt opened at "...\android-sdk\platform-tools"
either in recovery nor in booted system nor in bootloader "adb devices" finds my phone
so the problem with the "bootstop" (have always to manually press "START" at bootloader) persists..
oh wait... i am not connected as admin! is it possible to open an admin command promp:silly:t?
so i am am reading here atm how to open command prompt in specific folder(platform-tools)
but wife is waiting for dinner so i better do that first..

On windows 7 - hold shift then right click a white empty space of the window where adb is & select open command prompt here
Windows 7 or 10 - search for cmd then right click on cmd and select run as administrator then navigate using cd commands to adb location or copy & paste location (if any spaces in path then put the entire path in quotation marks)

i use win7 and cd'ing to the path was almost getting annoying
as screenshot shows, it still doesnt work
in my desperation i deinstalled now all adb drivers(minimal+ sdk)
ran a ccleaner and cleaned registry and reinstalled minimal adb again (btw, there was a new version by now out, 1.4.3)
so the episodes still goes on and i could figure out some new details
because i bought the same phone again for a relative who needed a phone..
in the process of setting it up correctly( thankfully xda is around ) i enabled dev options and the adb debugging
here is the result for the new phone
that shows now that executing as admin or standard user wasnt the problem. i just did it as standard user..
then i thought "hey cool, wait, i connect now my own G5 and see if i can get the phones' Nr displayed there and make sure my phone can communicate with my pc over adb( dunno if the sentence just made sense- greetz from a dummy)"
what happened is shown in this screenshot .. same picture as before! :crying:
(dont get irritated by the screeny because i used the same command prompt for
first, the new phone and
second, my "old" phone which doesnt boot properly, if you look at the command and the result
i am lost!
is it possible to reinstall a bootloader? or how come my phone doesnt communicate with the pc anymore?
and how come that effects the booting process so that i always get this "stop" at the bootloader although i pressed for a restart?
can i do any more tests that indicates what problem i have here?
