[Q] Stuck without recovery - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm sorry if this is a retype of a thread but i didn't found one. I've searched far and wide with no success.
Before i dig into the unbricking thread and reinstalling everything i just wanted to ask if this happend to anyone and if there is a simple solution for it.
I have zenfone 2 551ml with ressurection remix Remix nougat 7.1.2_r2
The phone is still working but i have no recovery. One day (dont ask me why) i wanted to update twrp just by flashing another twrp image in the twrp recovery. It didnt get updated but after i rebooted the phone, the next time there was no more recovery. I tried to flash it via fastboot with fastboot flash recovery command but still nothing. The device is detected both in adb and in fastboot.
Any ideas?
Thank you

I solved it
The thing is that i had to flash the stock recovery. Than i could sideload stock rom and now i continue.

Need urgent help for 3 big problem on my lg g3

I had some issue with twrp and it got stuck on The teamwin screen. So I restore lg os using the lg flash tool. After I update it to lollipo and install autorec d852 lollipop so I can install twrp. It install succesfully. I went on twrp and the problem started. It was stuck on it. I decided to get into fastboot mode by removing download mode ( I have a back up of it) and I did these following commends
Fastboot erase recovery
Fastboot flash recovery cyanogenmod 12.1 recovery for d852..
I flash the cyanogenmod recovery so I could install a aosp. I install cm13 and it damage my micro SD card. I finally fix it . After I flash blisspop because it was limited the customization of cm13 compare to other aosp roms. Once finish setting up everything on my internal storage, I tried flashing again twrp by auto rec ... It didn't work , so I tried flashify but it also got stuck on teamwin screen and I could access anything option. I started looking online if someone had experience something similar but no one had this type of problem that after doing a full reset and reinstalling it, it wouldn't work. So I went on fastboot mdoe ( I don't know how to get download mode back so I stuck in fastboot mode instead of download mode ) and did the previous comments that I did to flash cyanogenmod and I flash the cyanogenmod recovery because I need a working recovery. Since then I have been trying to fix the teamwin screen problem.
I NEED HELP WITH MY 2 PROBLEMS.
-I can't find a way to enter download mode again
- Can't get twrp to work
Someone help me please

Rooting Problems

Hey guys I had a couple questions regarding rooting the opportunity Find 7a. First off I have ColorOS v 2.1.5i and everytime I try to install TWRP onto it nothing happens, even though the computer says it has been flashed successfully. I restart my phone into recovery mode and the oppo recovery is still there. You guys have any ideas?
Also when I had the older version of colorOS, I could install TWRP but then SuperSU would never work. It kept saying the binaries weren't installed properly. Any ideas on that ?
Your guys help would be appreciated since I really wna root this phone
Thanks
Try fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img it should boot directly into twrp then
I couldn't root my phone in Color Os 2.0.8i untill i reflashed the rom and installed latest twrp then it asked me for root and i pressed ok.
Yea I tried what jthatch12 told me do and it worked and superSu finally installed properly

[H815] I think I screwed up my phone's software

Edit:
I installed some LG Drivers from a root article and now the phone is recognized. I can update to V20G and test it again, hope it works!
Hello!
I was running CM14.1 on my LG G4 and a few days ago I decided to install a new update but from within the phone itself. Sadly, it just rebooted to the recovery and didn't install anything. And from there, it always rebooted into the recovery no matter what I did. I also did a full wipe and installed CM14.1 clean but it still rebooted to the recovery and didn't want to go past that. I made a Reddid thread - https://www.reddit.com/r/cyanogenmod/comments/5gcap3/g4_h815_cm_141_help_i_cant_boot_outside_of/.
So I got help with that - I got into Download Mode and flashed the stock software via LGUP. Sadly, after I did this, I can no longer install a custom recovery. The phone is not rooted and LGUP and LG Bridge don't recognize the device anymore and the phone says there isn't a new update available but it's on the 5.1 stock ROM.
Whenever I flash the TWRP image via fastboot and I reboot into recovery, it doesn't boot into TWRP but it boots into some kind of other fastboot mode. And I've tried to issue `fastboot boot twrp-x-x-x.img` but it fails to do so and shows `FAILED (remote: dtb not found)`.
Is there a way to fix this so I can flash CM again?
Thanks in advance!

The bootloop to recovery is a known issue of one the December nightlies of CM 14. Head over to the CM thread and search for bootloop and twrp. They provided a solution to solve this too.
Besides that: which twrp version do you tried to fastboot? H811 or h815? Taken from the official download site?

twrp-3.0.2-1-h815.img, H815 as the title says and from the official website as I've always done. As for the thread - I don't have TWRP and I can't even flash it as I've written in my post. That's what I'm struggling with.
Edit:
I installed some LG Drivers from a root article and now the phone is recognized. I can update to V20G and test it again, hope it works!

wileyfox swift fastboot does not work

hi,
my intention is to update from cyanogen to lineage,
do i need TWRP for this or can i update it trough cyanogen recovery?
i saw the topic "[RECOVERY][crackling] TWRP 3.1.0-0 [OFFICIAL]" and i tried to follow that instructions to install TWRP but it seems that it not works, now it seems that im unable to go to fastboot, following instructions on page "TWRP for Wileyfox Swift" when i type "adb reboot bootloader" it simply does not go to fastboot mode, what i can do to fix it?
ps. i saw the "[ROM][7.1.x][Official] crDroid Android v2.5 [OMS][2017-03-28]" has good reviews and i want to install it, can i install it trough cyanogen recovery?? if not how do i install TWRP? i simply cannot follow instructions of their site because by like i said now im not able to boot into fastboot, how do i fix this?
thanks..
solved
new fastboot mode dont display msg that you are in fastboot mode but in fact you are, the trick was simple as unlock bootloader then flash TWRP and then install ROM trough TWRP..
What are you coming from op?
CyanogenMod original on marshmallow?
Or a different ROM
As I'm struggling to do the same but with Nougat update
Can't get to the twrp install, does not see my phone.

wileyfox swift keeps booting in fastboot mode

Dear people,
My phone keeps booting in to fastboot mode.
I installed TWRP 3.1.1-0 crackling recovery and unlocked bootloader. So far everything worked fine.
When i wanted to install lineage OS i found trouble. The ROM could not install because there was no /system/ file.
Still no problem, just wipe everything but the external SD and everything should work fine.
Now i can install roms, but everytime i installed a ROM it will go straight into fastboot.
What i have tried:
Lower TWRP to 3.1.0-0
tried original rom fastboot flash boot boot.img & fastboot flash system system.img
Tried another rom: Kenzo's. (TWRP says its corrupted.)
adb sideload rom.
I'm not a i cant get it to work so ill post it person, but i'm really out of ideas.
BTW, i have had many phones in my career and never had issues. SO NO BACKUP (Idiot me.)
I hope you can help me!
Try downgrading to CyangenMod, then install Lineage, see posts #155 / #156 in thread 'Nightly 14.1 lineageOS Rom For Crackling'.
