How to restore Download Mode if all you have is Fastboot

This is for the people [myself earlier] who cannot boot into Android (bootloop or worse), have no download mode, no recovery and can only boot into Fastboot. Download the file below, I have included fastboot (for windows) and the appropriate files to flash, all you have to do is run the commands in order below, then boot into download mode.
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase aboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash boot 6-boot.img
fastboot flash aboot 4-boot.img
fastboot flash recovery 10-recovery.img
fastboot flash laf 11-laf.img
fastboot reboot
It is best to use the CMD.exe file in the folder provided so you will already be running the commands from that folder without having to change directories. If you're on Linux then make sure you have Fastboot installed then run Terminal from the folder and run the same commands. This will restore the STOCK download mode and recovery partitions not TWRP or CWM.

How would one go about repairing a broken download mode when all I can do is boot into a broken recovery? I cannot issue any fastboot commands as the device is only recognized as an ADB Bridge device. Are there ADB equivalent commands to accomplish the same things as you have detailed here?

well you should never install any OTA with a custom recovery install. you should always keep at least one backup on your phone to restore to in these events. but i would try downloading a rom and installing via sideload before nuking any partitions. which is easy with TWRP. the sideload menu should be in Advanced then ADB Sideload and the command is adb sideload filename.zip and it will take awhile depending on the file size. make sure the file name is simple and it is placed in the folder you are running the sideload from.

Yes yes I know... it was a moment of weakness late at night and I didn't think before telling the girl to go ahead and upgrade. That being said... Part of the problem now is that the one backup she made just up and disappeared. The ADB sideload option just hangs and never actually does anything. The original Stock Rooted file I had still on the sd partition doesn't fix the issue when I flash it... it looks like it flashes ok but on the next boot it just drops me back into TWRP right where I began. And download mode is still borked.
So let's talk thermonuclear resolution on this motherlover.... where do I begin?

How do I get to fastboot. I can get to recovery but that's it. Download is not working. The Vol+/- and Power just gets me to key controls.

i would try to rename your rom to something simple, like rom.zip. there cannot be any spaces in the name and it does need to be in the same folder you run the command from like you seem to be doing.

did you try vol+ and power together? When a functioning rom is installed it asks to do a factory reset but it may get into fastboot if you nuked that partition. i haven't tried this yet but if you're in adb sideload in twrp maybe the command
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
might help

I'm screwed. I gave this a try and now all I get is a black screen. The phone will connect to my computer but I can't send any commands to it through the command prompt. When it connects to the computer it opens a bunch of different drives and says I need to format them. I can't get into download mode and when I try to send a command in the prompt it just says waiting for device. Any ideas?
Edit: It shows up in device manager like this: http://i.imgur.com/NXGxpcX.png

Mine has too after installing the official Lollipop, any help? Lollipop was buggy for me so I'd like to unbrick my Oppo.
So plug in phone AFTER booting into Fastboot mode (power+volume up) then open a command window by pushing shift and right clicking anywhere that the platform-tools folder is and then type fastboot devices and hit enter and then type fastboot oem unlock and hit enter and then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or whatever the name of your rcovery is then just power+volume down and boot into the recovery. It helped me!

Did you unlock bootloader?
1. Connect the device to the computer through USB.
2. From a terminal on a computer, type the following to boot the device into fastboot mode (or restart pressing power+vol up):
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
3. Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing:
Code:
fastboot devices
4. From the same terminal, type the following command to unlock the bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
If the device doesn't automatically reboot, reboot it from the menu. It should now be unlocked.
5. Then you can flash the recovery what you want. In fastboot mode, type in terminal:
Code:
fastboot devices
6. And flash the recovery. Type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img
Good luck

Hi, is it wrong to wipe the system partition before flashing a custom rom? Coming from stock ColorOS, I've wiped all dalvik cache, cache, system, and data, then flash a custom rom but it ended up getting endless bootanimation unable to boot into the custom rom.
I did unlock the bootloader with the adb code, flashing a temporary recovery was a success but endless bootanimation happened after flashing a custom rom. The custom rom was successfully installed according to TWRP's log.
Pls advice, thanks in advanced
P.s: I was referring to my friend's device X9076

Hi, i tried in the past some roms than not works, phone stuck in boot animation. The roms wich works for me and my x9076 with r63419 are:
Omnirom (6 or 5) THE BEST
Project Spectrum
Cyanogen 13 (modified version for new panel: http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=44907&extra=)
Miui
If you install CM13, you need to flash unified partition script for CM13 (you can find it in the same post from the forum Oppo Community)
For the other roms i dont need to flash anything else than rom and gapps.
Now i give a chance to CM13, but i think that i will get back to Omni if developers dont fix the mobile radio issue.
Cheers

ZE551ml "continue the fastboot process" prompt in fastboot,can't boot into recovery

ZE551ml "continue the fastboot process" prompt in fastboot,can't boot into recovery
I tried to go back to stock rom from CM 14.1 Unofficial following this youtube tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inzG5MLS2y4
I downloaded 2.20.40.196(Latest Android L) but couldn't find appropriate recovery for it.So I searched xda and got one.
I followed this sequence:
1.) fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
2.) fastboot flash boot boot.img
3.) fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
the boot.img and droidboot.img being extracted from the stock rom itself.
But after flashing, it shows "continue the fastboot process" in blue and selecting recovery option reboots the phone and brings it back to fastboot.
I CAN ACCESS FASTBOOT MODE,MY DEVICE IS RECOGNIZED BY MY PC.
But there is no recovery.
Kindly suggest what to do in relevance to my post.

Should use Asus flash tool. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3452082

cool down buddy. it was for informational purpose only. he was already using commands to do so. i just told him the correct way.
second for using AFT he have to download raw firmware. which is more than 1 Gb of data which will be costly if he is using mobile data to download. as he mentioned he already downloaded LP firmware from asus. with above method. he will be able to install the earlier downloaded zip file without any additional firmware download.
third as he mentioned he was on CM. i doubt installation with AFT might not be successful. he may have to flash stock ifwi and recovery and boot etc...

Did you hold the volume down button + power button to get to recovery mode manually right after flashing?
Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A3003 mit Tapatalk

If you have successfully unlocked the bootloader, you'll get a bootloader unlocked warning every time you boot. On the warning screen, click either of the volume buttons and you'll be redirected to a bootup menu. From there, you can select "boot to recovery" using the volume rocker and power button.
Alternatively, enable "advanced reboot" in developer options and reboot to recovery from the main OS power menu.
If these don't work, reflash TWRP using fastboot. Make sure that you're using at least version 3.0.3-1, best to use 3.0.4-1.

Tried manually reboot into recovery but it just reboots,
I can sucessfully unlock as i have the warning on boot, but there if i go to the menu and press for recovery it just reboots, tried several tipes of recovery TWRP imgs
Any help greatly wanted

Download this version of TWRP (jcadduono's 4.0.3-1). Rename the file to something like twrp.img.
1) Make sure adb/fastboot is working on your computer (if you've already unlocked the bootloader, then I am assuming it is).
2) Put your phone into fastboot mode and connect it to your computer. Open a command prompt where you can access fastboot.
3) Put the twrp.img file to the same folder where you opened your command prompt.
3) Enter
Code:
fastboot devices
in fastboot and make sure your phone shows up with its serial number.
4) Enter
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
to erase your current recovery
5) Enter
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [B]twrp.img[/B]
, where twrp.img is whatever you named your twrp file.
6) Enter
Code:
fastboot reboot
to reboot into your main system. You can either reboot then use advanced startup to enter recovery, or press a volume button at the bootloader warning page to boot directly to recovery.

Sometimes it helps to use fastboot to boot the image directly after you flash it. This ensures you get into recovery since it loads it off your computer.
It should then work normally afterwards
