stuck on boot screen!help!(yes,it's a bit generic) - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so,i have the ze551ml,and right now, i can boot it up,but it gets stuck at the asus logo,and the spinning circle below it. i see lots of people clearing cache,going into safe mode,or simply reinstalling the firmware.
first method doesn't work,i don't know how to clear device cache without actually being inside,i.e. actually have android properly loaded up
second method,just seems to get me nowhere.
third method,i tried power,then up rocker,then the recovery tab,just gives me the dead android thing with error written below.
help,this is my daily driver,so everything's on it!
also,forgot to mention,so this is a quick edit,i have adb installed(i think) on my pc,but whenever it launches,it justs has text running quickly,too fast for me to read,then self exits.
i also have to disconnect it from my pc or else it would not reboot.

umm..quick update,the recovery function now somewhat works, i managed to get the firmware from asus's webpage,put it in a ,microsd card,renamed it MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip. it seems to recognize it,at least no dead android with error sign,but after the install,it just does nothing.
it also never seems to actually finish the update,as it just gets about one third of the way,then vibrates twice,and reboots.
i did somehow manage to get it to boot up to the lock screen yesterday before i went to sleep,but then,after i woke up,it just seemed to have rebooted itself,and is stuck on the asus logo with the spinning wheel below again.

if u facing the continuously rotating circle problem in boot screen, then there is very easy solution. it is a very common problem happens for mainly low memory ,sometimes other.. it happens very often to me..
1.first clear user data then clear cache from recovery. u can also use adb from pc.
2. just restart.
[if you dont know how to open recovery, thenopen fastboot & select recovery as u mentioned in ur question, next when the dead android logo appears, dont worry. Then PRESS & HOLD VOL UP+POWER for 3 sec. it ll take few trying as it needs perfect timing to press those keys at a same time. from there you can clear data and cache.]
#PRESS THANKS IF IT HELPS YOU.

if there is important data in internal memory,then try with flash the firmware. dont know if it ll solve or not as i always do the above steps and it becomes OK.

i'll try the first method,but i just tried the third,and that did nothing.
i also tried the second method,multiple times,nothing.
also,how could it have low memory? it's not even booted up,technically.

Try to install custom ROM, like SuperZen. I think the is when you update your ROM and it doesn't finish due to a bad download.

But you have to unlock bootloader for that. Not everyone wants to do that...
Perhaps it's better to install Asus Flash Tool on your computer and flash raw firmware. You could even try without clearing user data.

Stuck on Samsung screen

I saw a couple people had the same issue that im now having but none of there solutions solved my problem
i wiped my GS3 for ATT tried to go back to a stock with root rom and when it rebooted it now just hangs at the samsung logo at boot tried re-flashing via odin with no luck also tried flashing a CWM.tar since i cant get into stock or CWM recovery to flash from there is there something im missing i know its late and maybe my brain isnt working like it should
Solved the problem myself.....and rather then just say i figured it out ill share how i did this since i watched countless videos and read endless amounts of threads and since none of them helped mem
First also try t put your phone into stock recovery mode and wipe your phone then flash this should take care of things if it doesnt try what i tried below
and i hope this can help someone else out there who has the same problem that i had all you have to do is the following i did this with obviously an AT&T model should work with others but as always try at your own risk.....
First make sure your battery has a charge even if its stuck on the boot screen its still charging....
then download KIES from samsung update it and make sure you have the latest version.
Next plug in your phone if your stuck at the samsung screen your computer will recognize your phone still at least it did with mine.
Once your done with the above open up KIES goto the top and then TOOLS and Firmware upgrade click on that enter your phone model (ATT SGH-I747) i dont get this part but next it will ask you for your SN and for some reason it doesnt recognize the SN use your IMEI
Now it should ask you a couple questions tell you its wiping your device and you will lose everything etc.....but then it will download the latest FW and begin to install everything and in about 20-25 mins everything will be back to stock
Nvm.. misread.
I'm stuck too...and Kies can't find the phone. Anyone have any other ideas? I can't even get into recovery...only download mode.

your computer is not seeing your phone when you plug it in or its just KIES that doesnt see it??

Yes, all drivers are installed because that's how I ODIN flashed it in the first place! Just stuck on the damn Samsung screen and I can't get Kies to connect to the phone. Not in Download Mode or when it's just stuck on that screen.

With the phone off, hold down VOL UP + HOME + POWER until the phone vibrates. Then let go of the power button. When you see the blue text in the top left corner of the samsung boot screen, let go of the other 2 buttons

Okay, this brought the menu up for me, but I removed the data,cache, and reset the phone and it is still not working. Also, my phone just goes black after the Galaxy Samsung S3 logo, but the blue light in the top left is still on. Can anyone help me out?
P.S. Sorry for reviving this thread if it is too old.
Edit: I should also mention that I can still hear the sound of the phone booting up (the sound that typically occurs when the phone is on the white loading screen). However, the screen is black at this point.

Ah, sorry about not providing enough information. Please keep in mind that I am very inexperienced and I may get some things incorrect just due to that. To my understanding, I went to try and root my phone, but beforehand I used the guides below to get my phone ready for the root (yes I do realize at this point that using these outdated guides was a clear mistake and I should have come to XDA instead). I flashed my phone to the stock kernel using the file that site provided, and then encountered the problem above. In my panic I have tried to restore the phone through several methods, but every time I try to load anything onto it with Odin, it doesn't complete until my phone restarts (and my phone won't boot up completely) so I can't get the pass message. Interestingly enough I did manage to get clockwork mod installed as that is what shows up when I try a secure boot using the methods that you described.
Ah, I am unfortunately not allowed to post links. The guides were off of Android Authority.
If there is any other information needed to help me please let me know and I will do my best to obtain it.

Sounds like you need to clear your cache partition and clear your dalvik cache. There are several guides on this site to help you. Choose the one that is most appropriate to what you are trying to do and follow it EXACTLY. There is one to start. Follow it from the beginning.

When nothing else works start over from search. You cab use download mode? First make sure you got right drivers as that can mess up Odin. Use one in my Sig if you want. Then flag stock recovery with root someone nice will part a link to it I'm on my phone can't do it. Well fix your phone

Okay now I am running into another problem. I have tried downloading the drivers from many different places and they always seem to be correctly downloaded. That being said, I can't install the drivers after I plug my phone into the computer (after downloading and installing Samsung USB drivers). Therefore, I cannot access my phone storage to put the root zip file on it. I was still able to download the custom recovery.
Now I have gone to a different computer, and the drivers seem to install correctly, but the phone still does not appear under my computer.
Edit: I do already have a root zip file on my phone from my earlier attempt, but I install it and my phone still doesn't load up. Also, Odin still recognizes the phone.
Edit 2: Windows says that the drivers cannot recognize the device. Edit 3: "Hardware ID Missing"

Sorry, I really need help for this. I can't install the MTP drivers even through using some of the tips on this site. That seems to be the problem with me accessing the phones storage from my computer. Does anyone have an ideas for what else I could do? Should I just take it to the store and hope they can fix it?

go to your device manager on your computer, locate samsung drivers for your device, uninstall them
restart your computer
then plug in the phone and lets it reinstall by itself
Use my drivers in my signature
They are last good damaging drivers. Don't update them but install them and plug phone in with no internet. after install plug internet in. There good stable drivers

[Q] Potential hardware issues/ brick / batter issue? Please help

Hello all. Let me first thank you for your time in reading my post. I appreciate it. I'm not a fan of only posting for help but I suppose that the site suggesting to always search first is to thank for that because I am usually able to find answers. So please forgive me if this is posted elsewhere but I really have searched and asked around but haven't seen anything similar to my issue. If there is something like it I do not know what to call it. I at first thought it was a sudden death, but realized I think my device model & the symptoms have disproved this theory.
My story...
I bought my AT&T Galaxy S3 feb 2013. I have had it, spent a month or two stock everything. The past month & a half I have flashed CM 10.1 & most recently PK-2.32 for about 3 weeks. Have ran it and loved it with no issues. Used the kernel that comes with both ROMs.
4 days ago
I was charging my phone at work, picked it up after a while, and it wouldn't turn on. It was stuck in a loop of 2 of the screens in my attachments(the battery screen & the SGS3 logo). The battery screen is not in motion, it is stationary like that so that the circle doesn't move.
I have tested quite a few things in regard to what I thought might be the issue...other batteries, chargers, cables pull sim & SD and still no luck...etc.
While the phone is unplugged I get no indication of life. Only when I plug it in will it show me the battery symbol & the logo.
After some playing with it while it is plugged in I have been able to get it into download mode quite frequently with no issue as seen in the third attachment.
So yes I can get into download mode but I'm still "fairly new" and not sure where to proceed from here. I'm not sure what my options are as this is new to me and I can't find anything related, nor can my much more experience friend who is not so new at it that got me into wanting to load custom ROMs.
And yes, as you can see it has tripped my flash counter up once, from what I've read there's only one way to fix that if I need to send it in.
So...If you are able and willing to help I would greatly appreciate it and any options you might give me. I'm willing to try almost anything as my phone is of no use to me at this moment.
if you can access download mode,one option is to connect the device to your PC and flash the stock firmware via odin. untick the Auto Reboot option. once you get a PASS, pull the battery, replace and immediately hit vol up + home + power button. when the device vibrates, release just the power button. in recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache. reboot.
first, can you boot into recovery at all?

First of all, thank you for your reply. I will definitely use your suggestion if that turns out to be my best option.
Secondly, it's funny you should ask about recovery. I have tried and tried to get into recovery, I have only been able to boot into it one time while it is on a charger, did not try anything because I thought that if I could get in it once I could get in it again, but since then no I have not...
UNTIL just now when you asked, I tried again and I am in TWRP. It is still in recovery at this moment, again only because I have it plugged in so I am open to your advice.
Well, since you're in recovery, I would consider wiping data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik, flash rom again and gapps. Reboot to see if that got you cleared up. This would mean you have to reset up your phone for the most part.
You could also consider wiping cache and dalvik, and flashing the rom and gapps. maybe this would correct your issue without wiping the device data.
Sou your device just did this? You weren't trying to flash a new kernel or anything?

You have a few options at this point. You can access recovery and download mode so this is good. You can try and flash a new ROM through TWRP. You can also go into download mode and install a stock rom to start over. With TWRP choose a ROM of your choice (as long it is intended for your model). You could just restore a nandroid of one that you know worked...if you made any.

Sorry about the delay. I was in recovery but I could not get it to recognize my SD card. So I took it out to try to load it in the computer and I'm having the worst time getting either of my computers to recognize either SD card I have even with 2 different readers. Still working on it though...

Ouch sounds like your sd card is corrupted, you may not be able to get any info off it. You may have to use Odin to flash a stock ROM. You can still get to Download right?

Thanks for commenting. You were correct, my sd card was corrupted. Had my 4gb card that was working so I was able to determine that was the case.
Latest update
I was frustrated at the most recent attempt to load recovery, which I never succeeded in doing. I then decided to load a stock ROM from odin. Started this process, and it was going well until the reboot phase, which is what I was fearing the most.
Once it attempted the reboot, it attempted to reboot, then would just vibrate shortly over and over and over, with nothing on the screen.
Unplugged the device hoping for the best, yet nothing happened upon my attempts to power on.
Plugged back in and would initiate the same sequence in my original post, with the image of the battery, to the image of the SGS3 logo.
So...hoping for any good news someone has to offer, but have come to terms with the worst.
Again, appreciate any comments toward the struggles with my phone.

after flashing stock via odin, you generally have to boot into stock recovery to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. reboot.

Well usually after a fresh Stock Install using Odin you need to to go into the recovery and wipe data, cache/dalvic cache, factory reset. That should fix your problem.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm having a difficult time to get it to stay into recovery now again. It acts like it wants to go in but it will just reboot. I will keep trying and if I need anymore help I will come back. Thanks so much again.
Back again. So I kept playing and was finally able to get into recovery as you guys suggested. Once I got in it finished the odin process and actually booted up! First time in a week. So ran through setup and then was able to determine that wifi is not working with stock ROM. Not sure if it's the phone or the ROM.
After it booted up and turned on was able actually do most functions, didn't test a lot wanted to see if it would work without being plugged in...this answer was no.
So after much testing I think what determines what will power it on and off is determined by what it is plugged into. I still think it is having hardware issues though because of the lack of powering on, but I am fairly certain that I can start it every time with a certain cable/charging dock.
I think the next thing I might try since I can get it to turn on is to root it again, load TriangleAway from an SD card, fix flash counter, unroot, load stock & see if they will warranty for hardware issues on the battery connection or whatever it is.
Haven't done this yet but will start tonight & have it finished by tomorrow is the plan. If anyone has any better suggestions I would gladly take them.
So this should be my last post unless a question arises for me.

This is what I said I was going to try to do. Took it to work and found time to do the above. TriangleAway worked a lot better than I ever thought it would. Flash counter reset, loaded unrooted stock and have a replacement on the way. Went very smoothly.
So doubt I will root & rom again until out of warranty. I appreciate everyone's help with my issue.

Galaxy Nexus refuses to work properly

Hello. So my problem is as follows : out of the blue, my galaxy nexus started to reboot after getting to android (10-15 seconds after booting into the OS). I tried to uninstall some apps, but couldn't because i would get a FC and then the device would freeze.
After i got sick of that, i tried to reboot into CWM and do literally everything to try and fix the phone (this includes sideloading a different rom,factory reset, cache wipe, formatting all of the partitions) but to no avail, the device keeps returning to the same state ! (even after restarting and turning off 3G or wifi the device wouldn't register the command).
Needless to say, i cant backup my phone and cant reach a state that the internal SD will be visible under windows.
What can i do ? i am completely hopeless and would love for some tips on what to do.
P.S - because the phone remembers the last state he was in, and wouldn't write any new information, i believe the problem is with the internal sd memory, but i hope to god i'm wrong. And factory reset from android is impossible because selecting anything instantly reboots the device.
Please, please..help me.

Have you tried wiping everything through Fastboot? There are a few steps that can wipe the bootloader, boot, userdata, and other components. That could help you out.

I tried using fastboot just now, through CWM (sideload), but i think the phone needs to be in the os and connected as a MTP..problem is i can't reach that state.
P.S - Does the phone need to be in android for fastboot to work ?! because otherwise i'm back to square one.

Yes. Turn the phone off. Hold the volume down button while turning the phone on. Keep holding the button down until you see "Starting Fastboot Protocol" and then you can do what you have to do.

Yes. Turn the phone off. Hold the volume down button while turning the phone on. Keep holding the button down until you see "Starting Fastboot Protocol" and then you can do what you have to do.

I tried to do what you said, but i just get the message "downloading..do not turn off target". I also tried Odin through fastboot but recieved a fail message 4 times in a row (after changing computers,usb ports etc..)
Is there anything else i can do ?
I don't understand what the hell is going on..I tried to flash stock firmware through Nexus Root Toolkit, and it said that the flash was successful and i saw how i deleted all my user data and formatted the sd card, but when the device restarted, it was back in the state it was and nothing was altered or changed in any way.
Is this even possible ?!

Probably hard bricked my K420n using service menu

So, like in the topic, I were using 'service menu'. Everything was good, until I found 'AAT' option. When I entered it, notification appered: Press ok to enter AAT. Phone will reboot. So I pressed ok, on down message appered: 'enter AAT' and phone have rebooted. From now, phone didn't want to boot, it was stuck at LG logo. I wasn't really worried, because I knew I had a backup of system and data in case something worng happened. I entered TWRP and restored everything BUT system still didn't want to boot. I tried to restore second backup (without Xposed) but same result. Now I started to worry that I killed my phone.
Also phone still goes into download mode but I think that PC doesn't detect it because I hear only characteristic Windows 10 plug in sound and nothing more. So what do I supose to do now?
Also what is AAT? And why it killed whole system

It shouldn't happen though
Try to flash the firmware again in download mode.

Are you sure LG Drivers well installed? They might not have been and that's why your device isn't recognized. If your device gets recognized while it's in download mode, you can try these guides:
LG Bridge: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/guide-unbricking-flashing-firmware-due-t3380529
LG UP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/how-to/flashing-firmware-using-lg-t3517839
Finally, after 5 hour tough battle with my phone, I made it to boot up.
thx for help xd

Flash ROM 5.1.1 (for me (K420n), flashing ROM 6.0 didn't work - I had to update to 6.0 earlier) until phone boots up. I think that I used this ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/development/stock-versions-model-lg-k10-t3457319
You can also try to recover/flash via TWRP but this method didn't work for me.

Thank you bro, you helped me solve the problem :good: . Have a nice day !

Accidental crash

While going through the factory test pages, to check on my burn in, i accidentally switched my device in to aging mode. During Startup in Aging Mode it crashed and after a normal reboot i lost all my sensors, cameras and the system seems glichty. I tried everything including firmware up/down grade. Twrp full wipe and reinstall. newly flashed Boot.img and fresh install of Oxygen. Nothing helps. Anybody might have a wild guess ????
