Forgot password - can't access recovery mode - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
My GF has forgotten her PW on her 5X. In fastboot, when I try going into recovery mode to wipe the phone, after selecting recovery mode, instead of going to the dead android, I get the below screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After which the phone just boots as normal.
I can however get it into download mode which looks like this:
The phone's boot loader is unfortunately locked. Any advice?
I just want a clean wipe to be honest

if you want to wipe it clean simply boot to fastboot, connect it to pc and flash to it the stock rom

and when you're in fastboot, don't choose to go into recovery or anything at all; just let it stay at the fastboot screen.

Thank you for the reply guys. Could you perhaps point me towards a forum thread that walks me through this. Everything I've found was with unlocked bootloader

Steps 2, 3, and 5 should be all you need.

HELP! Brick? Never seen this screen before

Hi,
I bought Nexus 5x, downloaded tool for unlocking etc. I've been doing this many times before with other tools for previous Nexuses. Today something went wrong. I stuck on this screen and I cannot even get to recovery (I managed to install TWRP before). Tool cannot find my nexus and it cant be turned off and I cannot load fastboot or recovery. It shows this screen all the time. Do you have any clue what to do?

Did you try turning it on keeping vol down button pressed? If so you can enter bootloader, from there you can flash factory image. To turn it off, keep power button pressed till reboot, be fast pushing the vol down.

Note : Sorry if this is unclear i am typing this in a hurry. I will update this post again. Thanks!
Since you obviously don't know much about Android phones, the simplest way for you to fix this is probably via ASUS Flash tool. There are guides on how to do that here on XDA.

Unbrick H815 after wipe

Hello guys,
I have an OEM EU (I guess) H815 with unlocked bootloader (running rooted stock firmware + TWRP before). I did something stupid and bricked my G4 by doing a full wipe in TWRP before, without thinking to much. Apparently I managed to delete Recovery and the System partitions. At least I can no longer enter Recovery (even though I was not aware TWRP can delete itself before?)
Now, I am a bit lost. How can I unbrick my phone? I thought about flashing TWRP again through fastboot as a start. However, I don't seem to be able to enter the download mode anymore. I tried to boot the phone by pressing vol up + power, or vol down + power, and so on but nothing. I am stuck in the boot screen forever (see image)

Any advises?
On a second note: how would I flash stock (only) again through fastboot / TWRP? I don't seem to be able to find flashable zip/img files for either TWRP or fastboot, only the full image( https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/h815-nougat-stock-t3659860 )
Thanks!

Please asus zenfone 2 bricked not working

The fastboot mode does not only enter black screen, nor download mode, I already tried to reinstall the fastboot by that program there but only of that error and never install, it is not recognized in the asus flash tools because the fastboot does not work, it is a brick already, I'm almost considering lost because I've seen all xda and all youtube and nothing works, rarely does it call and appear the ASUS logo and stay in it forever

Can't reboot to download mode?

I've been trying to reset to stock to sell my LG v30 via this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/us998-stock-pie-lg-v30-us998-us99830b_00_0902-kdz.3952256/
But I can't seem to reboot into download mode to be able to flash it via LGUP. When I try, I turn off the phone, plug in the cable with the volume up pressed then I see:
A brief flash of download page
The "be careful bootloader is unlocked page"
Download mode for a few seconds
Then I get stuck on this "firmware update" page.
Any ideas? I've uploaded a picture of that screen I get stuck on.

That is download mode
Thanks for the quick reply! Really? Is it normal to have all those "Unknowns" written on the screen? Honest question, it's been a long time since I messed with my v30.
I'd imagine it's a problem with my computer not connecting then... Is there any drivers I need to install? I installed the LG drivers from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...estore-official-firmware-on-your-v30.3738917/
I couldn't even read that until I zoomed in. I don't remember either if 'unknown' is normal, but that's download mode, that's where you want to be. If you're just trying to get to stock anyway, it shouldn't matter what's on there now, it's be wiped when you flash to stock.
