I have same issue here
Only solution I have will void your warranty so if you don't have other option do it:
Unlock bootloader, flash cwm or twrp recovery and install stock rom
P.S.
Let me know if you want detailed instructions
@josko545, Yes please. If you can write it.
Same problem here ! I want the instructions and the rom pls
If this is regarding HTC Desire 300 301e you have my attention.
Hi, first I want to say that I am really sorry because I am late but if I can still help here it goes:
1. You need to visit HTC desire 300 rooting guide here on xda(it is easy to find)
2. Download all requrements from that page to your computer.
3. Now you have to unlock your bootloader(wipes data):
-to unlock first visit htcdev and create account with real email
-select to unlock bl and your device
-follow the guide on htcdev page (in short you will have to connect your device with usb and get device identifier token which you submit to htcdev page, after that they generate unlock code and sent it your mail finally you flash unlock code to device and confirm that you want to unlock)
4. Now with unlocked bootloader you can install custom recovery (img file is on rooting page)
5. To install recovery just get device to fastboot, open command prompt in windows and write this command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(assuming recovery.img is in same file with fastboot and adb)
6. Now you should have installed clockwork mode(custom recovery) and unlocked bootloader now you just have to flash stock rom.
7. Just find any HTC desire 300 stock rom on xda (maybe russian deodexed) and download it to sd card of your phone
8. Now enter recovery (power down-->volume down+power button-->bootloader-->recovery)
9. You should see recovery screen
10. Do all wipes (factory reset and wipe dalvik cache)
11. Format system
12. Select to install zip from sd card
13. Search for rom you downloaded earlier and flash it.
14. Reboot system and everything should be fine (it maybe need more time for first boot).
If you stuck on any step feel free to ask, hopefully it won't take me half year to answer, once again I am really sorry about that.
Hello all,
I have Zenfone 2 on which I intended to use a custom ROM.
So the first thing was to unlock the bootloader.
On previous occasion, on my Nexus, I had used the - fastboot oem unlock - command and it had worked. So with that in mind, I booted into the bootloader and tried the command, but it failed - saying oem command unrecognized.
Then I searched online and apparently, to unlock the bootloader, Asus has launched an app! But to be able to install the app, I need to get a normal boot happening, which is not happening now.
In between all this, I tried the commands - fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>, fastboot flash boot <boot.img> too. But none of these were successful, and each of them returned a 'Permission denied' message, probably coz the bootloader was locked.
Now the situation is that -
- Bootloader is locked.
- Phone is stuck in bootloader
- There is no recovery installed. In fact, from the bootloader, when I try to boot into 'Recovery Mode', it goes there for a second and returns back to the bootloader. Doesn't show the normal android image with a 'X' on top.
- There is no root access.
Now I think the first step is to get root access, and for this I want to try the method with installing CWM recovery and SuperSu.
But for this, I need to be able to push the SuperSu.zip to the phone, which I am not able to.
Can somebody please help!
r the drivers for fastboot & adb update to date?
Android version?
If the phone is stuck in bootloader, you can use Asus Flash Tool to flash .raw files and unbrick the phone.
Raw files: https://yadi.sk/d/FijRoAVJtvRiG
AFT: https://yadi.sk/d/NQCiY--IsQjBr (I use AsusFlashToolInstaller1.0.0.14.exe).
you can use Asus Flash Tool to flash .raw files and unbrick the phone.

HI everyone,
I updated "successfully" from Kitkat to 5.0.2 on my rooted (stock ROM) Nexus 7 second gen.
Unfortunately, when I tried to upgrade to 5.1 everything seem to be normal until the device rebooted and it went through the "update process". 3/4 the way through, the green droid went on his back and the "ERROR" message appeared.
I wiped the cache partition but that doesn't help. I tried to download the update in safe mode, but no success. I also find it odd that each time I reboot my device, I get a message from Android that it is "updating my apps".
If I didn't have any apps and a lot of data on my Nexus, I would wipe the device clean but I'd rather avoid this, if at all possible.
Is there a way to upgrade to 5.1 or reinstall 5.0.2 without losing everything?
Thanks

No problem. As you rooted it before then presumably it is unlocked and equipped with custom recovery, so all you have to do is:
boot TWRP
connect PC
transfer data and APKs to PC
flash OS
If you don't have TWRP installed, then boot it like this fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-flo.img

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I rooted with Kingroot. I don't believe I have a custom recovery. The bootloader is locked as shown when I boot into recovery mode.
I want to avoid transferring my data and APK files to my PC.
Should I assume there is no way of reinstalling the OS without wiping out the device?Also, there is no link in the above quote: fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-flo.img
Since I got no other replies, I went and restored to factory image. I do have another question. I hope I get a better response there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...a/nexus-7-2013-wifi-root-marshmallow-t3515072
Thanks for the reply.
Can we compare using fastboot flashing TWRP vs Nexus Root Tool Kit: http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/? I ended up using this utility instead because it was pretty much one click and it didn't require command lines and for whatever reason, I found instructions using fastboot a bit confusing. Which method is better or has more advantages? I left my bootloader unlocked.
Incidentally, I think there was something wrong with my Nexus image. As a result, I did use Google's instructions on how to flash etc. the OEM image. Instructions weren't ideal but I managed to figure things out: https://developers.google.com/android/images
The instructions are here which I assume would be similar if I wanted to fastboot TWRP?
To flash a system image:
Download the appropriate system image for your device below, then unzip it to a safe directory.
Connect your device to your computer over USB.
Start the device in fastboot mode with one of the following methods:
Using the adb tool: With the device powered on, execute:
adb reboot bootloader
Using a key combo: Turn the device off, then turn it on and immediately hold down the relevant key combination for your device. For example, to put a Nexus 5 ("hammerhead") into fastboot mode, press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power as the device begins booting up.
If necessary, unlock the device's bootloader by running:
fastboot flashing unlock
or, for older devices, run:
fastboot oem unlock
The target device will show you a confirmation screen. (This erases all data on the target device.)
Open a terminal and navigate to the unzipped system image directory.
Execute the flash-all script. This script installs the necessary bootloader, baseband firmware(s), and operating system.
Once the script finishes, your device reboots. You should now lock the bootloader for security:
Start the device in fastboot mode again, as described above.
Execute:
fastboot flashing lock
or, for older devices, run:
fastboot oem lock
Locking bootloader will wipe the data on some devices. After locking the bootloader, if you want to flash the device again, you must run fastboot oem unlock again, which will wipe the data.

Also, I could've sworn that when I rooted KitKat on my Nexus, my data wasn't wiped out. I don't recall doing anything to the bootloader. I can't recall which method I used, but I know for certain I didn't use the Nexus Root Toolkit. I should've recorded my steps when I rooted.
i rooted my nexus 7 using towel root on kitkat .. i unrooted using supersu... and ota untill marhsmallow with out a problem never use kingroot as its so un stable.
For those that, like me, could not get driver recognition on the latest Win 10 x64 no matter what you tried. And ,yes, using every tutorial I could find on this and two "other Forums". Odin failed to see my device (still can't) Cydia impactor allows rebooting into fastboot and D/L but doesn't connect in either alt. mode. Yes, drivers all removed and replaced in varying states (usbdeview, etc.).
But ADB/Fastboot works!
Make sure you have your adb/fastboot drivers installed universally (Check this Fabulous Forum)
Download device-specific TWRP - I used this one for the 4gb version - https://www.dropbox.com/s/b7u3k1mgpppxlyx/recovery.img?dl=0
L.Shift-R. click in the folder you downloaded to (Open Command Window Here) - "adb devices" (to make sure device registers) then - "adb reboot bootloader" gets you into fastboot. - "fastoot boot {your-recovery-name}.img"
I got a fully functional TOUCH CAPABLE TWRP. Which I proceeded to load this - https://www.dropbox.com/s/j1owqv7mjkdpo75/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?dl=0 - and, VOILA! ROOT!!
I had similar issues with my laptop and drivers. Used a friend laptop in the end to "see" the phone and install twrp.

When I try to boot the recovery.img with fastboot it says that my OEM is locked. I check OEM unlock in developer options, then I do: adb reboot bootloader, then fastboot oem unlock. A warning appears saying to press VOLUME UP button to continue, voiding the warranty or VOLUME DOWN to go back. I try to press VOLUME UP and nothing happens... how did you do it?

Hi there, I have the same issue. No success
I found a way, instead of volume up, use the home button this worked for me.. however after I unlocked the OEM and flashed TWRP the phone didn't want to boot anymore. It was stuck on Elephone logo with warning: "Orange State: The phone has been unlocked and can't be trusted. Your device will boot in 5s", however it didn't boot and stayed like that for almost an hour. Had to flash back the stock firmware to boot. Tried 1 more time the procedure to root but again the same. Maybe I do something wrong?
stock fw flash back
Hi, please can you help me with how you flashed back the stock firmware?
I get an error message with twrp : invalid zip file format.
Thank you in advance!

I read somewhere the is a zip inside the update.zip & is that one that is flash able with twrp.
Have a look
During the main time I managed to flash the 0218 stock rom.
I still got the orange message but the phone finally boot. Then I just called the twrp recovery img via atb. I did nothing only touch the reboot in the twrp screen and since then "Orange status...." again.
May be the twrp recovery img is not the right one...
Bad command "fastoot boot {your-recovery-name}.img"
after OEM alow (informacion phone/compilacion number touch fast 9 times/access/alow oem)
fastboot oem unlock
"fastboot boot {your-recovery-name}.img" for me is fastboot boot recovery.img and all OK
bat still not working (phone not thrust unlocked bootloader cleaning data in 5..4..3..2..1.. and rebot)
Hello,
I hope this is the right section for this post.
I've been using a Note 8 Pro with zero issues until one week ago when I accidentally dropped the phone in the water.
After a few seconds submerged the display turned off and I felt an intense heat coming from the zone of the battery.
Having no chance to recover the phone (tried with Isopropyl Alcohol too) I decided to open it and manually dry/clean each component, having seen the situation inside gave me the phone is dead but I still want to recover some pictures/data from it.
Before opening the open Minitool was not detecting any device on my Windows Laptop, after cleaning each component Minitool is instead detecting the phone via USB, but I still can't extract any data because the "Usb debugging" option is not tuned on (and no the device is not rooted).
Is there any option to extract data from the phone? There's a way to turn on USB Debugging via ADB on a non-rooted phone?
Thanks,
Andrea.
how about trying your luck with a service ? most of the time they do have access to special programs, which have a better functionality than adb.
Thanks for the hint, but I am not happy with the idea of someone playing with my data
1. Try reboot phone to recovery
2. Connect it to your computer (download Platform-tools)
3. In the folder with Platform-tools open cmd
4. In cmd - adb shell
5. cd storage/emulated/0
6. ls
7. Now, using the commands, drag files from your phone to your PC
Thanks for your hint.
No luck so far, I think because the phone is not in recovery mode.
I can hear the phone starting up several times (hear the jingle) so I think it's in a reboot loop and I don't know how to boot it into recovery mode wo a working display (tried with power/volume up combination with no luck).
From the windows taskbar I can see that the phone is recognized for a few seconds before it restarts.
EDIT: trying to switch the phone on with the combination "power/volume down" brings to a kind of stable state and I can now see the phone in the windows taskbar recognized as a generic "android device". Still no luck when trying to access the phone as there's no device in windows and no device obtained through "adb devices" command.
EDIT1: I think that the phone is in "FASTBOOT" mode. If I type "fastboot devices" I can see it detected but still can't access it.
Any idea? Should I give up?
If it's popping up and down you need something to keep track.
You can try my UsbLog.exe (in the sig), it just sits there and shows what devices appear (if they have a driver) and disappear.
Try these to see if anything is working:
Code:
C:\>fastboot devices
C:\>fastboot getvar all
C:\>fastboot oem device-info
Yes it's popping up and down when it's booted in recovery mode whilst is stably connected when in fastboot mode but in this case I can't access the internal memory of the device.
I didn't get the purpose of logging the devices connecting to the USB as I can see the device connected for a while and correctly recognized as Redmi Note 8 pro but as it keeps popping out windows have no time to show it's folder.
As for the code you wrote: i will try asap but already tried with "fastboot devices" and I get the phone correctly listed but still can't access its memory as told.

After rebooting the phone in fastboot mode I can see it recognized as a generic android device from windows (still can't access the storage folder of the device).
fastboot devices----> I get the device listed with a series of numbers/letters
fastboot getvar all---> I get a list of information on token/token version/partition type and size/baseband/bootloader etc.
fastboot oem device-info----> FAILED (remote: unknown command)
So I think it's clear that the device is in Fastboot mode and instead is in a boot loop when started in revocery mode.
Is there a way to extract data from fastboot mode?
Thanks,
Andrea.
If you put a custom recovery on it in the first place you can try reflashing recovery from fastboot.
Fastboot doesn't allow you to read anything.
oem device-info is obviously an oem command that might not be on any device.
You've got a Mediatek processor. That has some low level equivalent to Qualcomm EDL, but I have no experience with that.
If you can get there you can download the user data partition, but it's probably encrypted. Also no experience with that.
The easiest is if you can get the system to mount/decrypt the partition.
You've tried the normal system too?
Is this A/B? Have you tried changing slots?
How much time does it stay up in recovery? Do you have ADB? Maybe try:
Code:
# stop recovery
Does that prevent it from looping?
So I should try to flash a custom recovery like TWRP for example?
What you mean with "normal system too"?
Changing slots you mean changing usb port?
It stays in recovery less than one second so I can't give any command via ADB.
EDIT: cant' flash any custom recovery because the bootloader is locked.
If I Try to unlock the bootloader via MiUnlock I get a warning saying that all data will be erased.
Any idea on how to unlock the bootloader wo wiping all the data?

Thank you very much.
Now I am going to try to flash a custom recovery mode via fastboot in order to access the internal memory of the phone.
EDIT: I've just flashed twrp-3.6.2_9-0-begonia.img but still can't boot into recovery mode.
Any hint on how to extract data from the system now?
You really want to boot the normal system because that's the best way to get decrypted data.
I realized that you don't have ADB enabled there.
You should look at B. Kerler's https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient/
If you can pull the boot image off your device then I might be able to fix it so that you have ADB.
You'd have to flash it back in fastboot or mtkclient.
You can also pull a copy of userdata off the device with mtkclient.
As far as booting into recovery, there's a way.
Here's how, if you don't have A/B (that is you flashed TWRP into recovery and not recovery_a or recovery_b)
then you can fastboot flash a special file into the misc partition and it wil boot into recovery next reboot.
To return things to normal you have to flash the empty file to the misc partition.
Code:
C:\>fastboot flash misc misc-rec.img
C:\>fastboot reboot
Only do this if you don't have partitions that end in _a or _b
I really don't know if I have partitions A and B as you mentioned and I think there's no way to check actually.
I confirm I don't have "USB Debugging" active on the phone.
So if I understand correctly I should do the following:
- Flash misc-reg.img via Fastboot
- Boot into recovery just rebooting the system after flashing the above file;
- use MTKclient to dump userdata or boot image to enable ADB on (I will need help with mtkclient I suppose).
Is it correct?
EDIT: flashed TWRP first and misc-rec then rebooted via Fastboot/Reboot but nothing happens.

1/Yeah it's official. You "flashed correct TWRP." Downgrade to Miui Android 9 (_9 in it's name) to boot into that TWRP and lose your data.
2/In unlock bootloader video above, search other video in his channel playlist and find TWRP video suitable for your Miui version.
