hi,
can anyone please advise how to recover a Fire phone stuck in fastboot as in my attached photo ?
I have read the forums, but cannot find a solution to my specific problem, the nearest thing was this unresolved thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/help/fire-phone-stuck-fastboot-how-to-recover-t3171944
at this time I'm not bothered what OS it was on before the fault, nor what OS or Rom I may be have to use to get it up and running again.
thanks,
Kevin
same problem
I also get same problem with my Fire Phone 3.6.8 GSM unlocked since March, still don't know how to solve, somebody, Please Help!!!!
Are you able to boot in to recovery?
Connected to a computer with adb fasfboot use following command: 'fastboot reboot recovery'
In recoverymode choose sideload via adb and flash stock rom with adb sideload 'stockrom'.zip
Is this resolved or not I am facing same issue never even rooted/installed stock rom on that device

Hello,
I was trying to return my phone to stock, I ran a RUU (latest out there from shipped roms) which gives me a error 110 after the install. It lays down the rom it appears because if I used the ADB command "fastboot oem boot" I can actually use the phone, If I turn off the phone and turn it back on trying to boot up normal I get the HTC logo with the triangles on each side like my boot up script is screwed.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Please help!!
Any solution
I am having the exact same problem with my magic 32A, and was just wondering if you have a solution to the problem ?
Same situation here, mate. Anyone have some guidance?
Did you try flashing a stock pc36img.zip? If you can get your hBoot to come up that should fix it
Found a fix! Some reported this to not work, but it worked the first time for me.

Okay so I've had my Kindle Fire rooted with TWRP and FFF for a while now. I was using TWRP 2.0 and figured I needed to update it, so I ran KFU v 0.9.6 and chose to install the latest TWRP. Unfortunately it didn't do what I hoped for. Instead it got me stuck in fastboot mode. Now whenever I turn on my Kindle I just see the FFF logo, and I am unable to load TWRP or do anything else (in fact TWRP might not even be there anymore because I'm pretty sure KFU deleted it when I chose to install the latest version). When I plug my Kindle into my PC Windows will recognize it as an Android Phone, however, ADB and KFU do not recognize it. I have been stuck in fastboot mode at least three times before, so I tried doing what has worked in the past which is to load up KFU and change the bootmode to normal. It didn't work so I kept trying...then I tried reinstalling the drivers...still nothing. I have also tried the Kindle Unbrick program which didn't help. Whenever I type the command "adb devices" it shows no devices attatched. I have tried pretty much everything else I could find on the internet and read through a countless number of threads which were of no help at all. By the way I have read about factory cables, but I don't have the money for one so I'm hoping there is another way to get past this mess. So if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this please help me out. Thanks.
What ROM were you using before you decided to update TWRP?

I had just switched back to the stock ROM 6.3.1
Nevermind I was able to get it out of fastboot using firekit. I guess my problem was just Windows and non working drivers. But hey I would still appreciate some help on properly installing the latest TWRP and FFF preferably with Linux.
Hey guys,
So the other day I decided I wanted to root my zf2 and I went ahead and downloaded the wrong firmware. I downloaded a zf5 root and ran it.
The first fastboot commands in the .bat file I ran was this:
Code:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
After The root failed to complete (wrong firmware), I realised I had flashed the wrong fastboot firmware.
I tried to go back into fastboot through the power + vol up only to meet a usb logo screen. I did some research, and found that many zf5's were soft-bricked at that screen as well.
My question is will a firmware update on my current zf2 fix/update the fastboot.img? Will a factory reset from my phone fix it?
If not, what can I do to fix it?
Thanks!
Hey guys,
So after a while without any responses, I headed over to Asus customer service to receive a very unhelpful reply.
I gave up hope of finding an answer online and so I decided to take a leap of faith by updating the firmware via the Asus Update app on the phone.
I upgraded from 2.14 to 2.15 and miraculously fastboot seemed to have restored itself. I am not sure whether or not every single update restores fastboot, or whether the update to 2.15 does, but I'm glad that it has been fixed.
My previous problems of being unable to detect fast boot devices has been resolved. Hopefully others who have experienced the same issue can find this post helpful.
So i messed up when trying to update my watch and somehow deleted the firmware so my watch bootloops upon start-up, any way to fix this?
Im have the same problem. Im stuck in bootloop after trying to flash custom kernel. I can not rech recovery. Not original recovery or TWRP. Fastboot works. What to do?
Is there any restore image to flasH?
Here are three solutions in one answer, because you did not give quite enough info.
First, try holding the button on boot up. Hopefully that will get you into usb mode. If it works, download the sony software, and go to the help section, and download and install the update.
Option two,
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Or, download the version of twrp for your build as well as your original image, and use fastboot.
Code:
Fastboot boot twrp.img
then use twrp to install the factory zip. You can do this directly in fastboot too, but it is more difficult because fastboot only installs each image separately. If I knew what versions of software you had, I could help you find the images you need.
I have tried both fastboot flash and fastboot boot for both original recovery and also TWRP, but non of the recoverys will boot, not even with Fastboot boot.
The command lines says OK on my PC, It is getting downloaded, and it says it is booting / flashed [OKAY].
But all I get on my Smartwatch 3 is bootloop.
My Smartwatch 3 is OEM unlocked. I even tried to lock it, and unlock it again.
I have full contact with fastboot on my PC, all the commands are taken in and seems to work, but my smartwatch won't boot no system or no recoverys. Only USB-mode and Fastboot mode...
I have also tried to clear cache and userdata in fastboot after OEM Unlock.
I will try the Sony Software now. That is my last way out I Think.
The Sony PC Companion software from sony's website worked for me to save my smartwatch from bootloops . I just did a update and installed it over what was already on the smartwatch.
Thanks lekofraggle for quick answeres. I had no idea the PC Companion had this feature.
SimDroid, I am glad that helped. If it hadn't, the next step would be to flash an image through fastboot. That would be scary, because it sounds like your boot loader was corrupt. It's nice to know the usb and PcCompanion piece still worked. Another reason this watch is incredible.
Cheers.
does anyone have a download for the original (5.0.2 im guessing) ROM for this watch? I want off the rubbish 5.1.1 update before i am forced to sell the watch due to the terrible battery
The smartwatch works as it should now, original recovery and everything is back!
So, if i may go back to where it started?
I noticed now that I flashed the custom kernel for the watch built for wrong firmware. Im on 5.1.1, and there doesnt seem to be a developed shared kernel with all four cores unlocked for it.
Im also interested in where I can find those images to flash via fastboot as you mentioned lekofraggle
Hi All,
I know this is my first post and its asking for help already but I can usually find the answer to anything I need by just searching.
But this time i'm really stumped
I can see that a lot of other people are having this problem and have tried all the solutions to no avail.
I was rooted before and had the notification that update was available.
I followed this guide How to get OTA Updates on a rooted HTC One M8 by sakitech on youtube as I have done before.
I flashed the stock recovery and rebooted fine.
then I applied the update from the notification you get and now I am stuck with this brick...
I can get into boot loader using a combination of up and down buttons with the power button.
I am S-on
OS4.16.401.13
Ive tried putting various 0P6BIMG.zip on the sd card and have had the following results
Device halted due to large image update fail
that's the best I have so far.
If anyone could help me get my phone back that would be great
if there is anything else I need to tell you let me know
Thanks Loads

On lollipop, OTA will fail when the stock ROM is rooted due changes in binary.
You need a pure non-rooted stock ROM. Re-unrooted a rooted stock ROM won't work either.
How to get OTA Updates on a rooted HTC One M8 is not applicable on lollipop
Install TWRP and restore non-rooted TWRP 4.16.401.10 backup and then install 4.16.401.10 stock recovery then redo the OTA.
You can restore only system if you want to keep your data or backup your data and restore later after the OTA successfully update your device.
Thanks for the reply
sorry I am in way too deep lol
would you be a super star and give me a little walk through of what to do as I have been trying for hours today already
Also if you could provide the links I need that would be most excellent
I need all the help I can get )
Read How-to and all the files needed are here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Thanks again
but the phone is not recognised with adb now?
was before but now I open it up type adb devices and it lists nothing?
Help me Jesus lol
I'm having the exact same issue as the OP. Took an OTA and got bootlooped. S-On, Bootloader Unlocked, Bootloader 3.19.0.000, CID CWS_001. I flashed a GPE custom rom in TWRP to have a working OS, but now I can't figure out how to return to stock. I tried relocking the bootloader and then using the ATT RUU on HTC's website, but it failed because the system version was wrong or something like that. I have a backup of my data, but I can't figure out how to get this OTA so I can go back to stock and restore my data and not take an OTA again. Radio is [email protected] if that helps.

Why adb ? adb works only while in recovery or running system.
And the tutorial that I linked to you has nothing about adb, only fastboot
So what are you trying to do with "adb" ?
HI again day 3
How do I install TWRP without adb?
I can get into fastboot menu and have the TWRP .img on my SD card
How do I install it?
PLease Thanks
Toefudge
You don't need adb commands but fastboot commands !
so would you help me?
how and where do I use fastboot commands please?
as you can tell I haven't got a clue lol
so I type the fastboot commands in the same place but it just says waiting for device?
In your post #1, you mentioned you flashed stock recovery, how did you do that ?
It's the same fastboot command
after put your device in bootloader/fastboot mode and connect to PC, run this command:
fastboot flash recovery NameOfRecovery.img
If you don't have fastboot/adb properly installed, try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Yes I flashed the stock recovery to start when it was working
Then tried to do the update then it went into boot loop
I tried every thing including a factory reset.
Would this turn off the USB debugging? Stopping me from seeing the phone with fast boot/adb?
Many thanks for all that have helped me so far
No.. usb debugging on is needed for adb
fastboot doesn't need usb debugging on
Try the fastboot/adb link that I posted.
Also fastboot work when you put your device on bootloader/fastboot mode, most likely won't work while bootlooping
Ok cool thanks loads
I will try again I'm a bit
Just making my 3 boys dinner and then I'm back on it
Then I'll be back asking for help probably lol
What can i say ..
Thankyou so much for your help and patience
its all sorted now followed your instructions on the link after i reinstalled the fast boot software
You guys .
