Hi
I am not really sure what i have done wrong here, but i have got myself to a stage where i can get to fastboot, but i cannot get to the recovery, if i select hboot then i get the following:
TWRP: teamwin screen flashes a couple of times then the device reboots
CWM: black screen the the device reboots
Stock recovery: android driod with a red exclamation mark then the device reboots
I have tried multiple recovery's as you can see.
I know that i am currently in a state where i have NO os on the phone.
**TAMPERED***
***UNLOCKED***
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.16.0.0000
RADIO-1.14.2133156.UA24G

OS-
eMC-boot 2048MB
Feb 26 2014,21:38:56.14307
This all started when i somehow got in a reboot loop when SuperSU tried to push the su binary to TWM.
Any help or directions to get me back ontrack would be appreciated.
Thanks
Darren

Try fastboot erase cache
Hey there,
as the title of the threat already indicates, my HTC One X got bricked.
As this usually happens when trying to flash some custom roms or recoverys, in my case it is the result of an official HTC update for android.
I can boot into Fastboot, and via cmd "fastboot devices" does show me the connected phone.
Now my approach for solving this matter was to flash the clockwork mod and then boot into recovery.
From there i wanted to pull data from the phone via adb commands.
The only problem is that my phone is locked. I cannot unlock it at the moment without wiping all data (which obviously would miss the whole data recovery point).
When i try tp flash the CWM in fastboot i get:
sending 'recovery' (8100 KB)...
FAILED (unknown status code)
finished. total time: 0.933s
I also tried to directly boot a recovery via fastboot boot recovery.img.
This resulted in
downloading 'boot.img'...
FAILED (unknown status code)
finished. total time: 0.933s
Well now I am seriously frustrated and dont know how to get my data.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Cheers
Josef

i can only get to fastboot mode. My nexus Bootloader version - FLO- 04.04, and it's unlocked. I've tried to use Wug tool kit but got stuck at "erasing cache". See log below. I've tried different cables and different USB ports. Any tips or guidance is greatly appreciate. Thanks

i have the same problem
the nand flash is broken, change your mainboard and you will be happy again
i will never buy a asus device
I was about to manually install the lineageOS update, but I accidentally swiped factory restore. Is there anyway I can get the update file online? I tried starting from the top by wiping everything and reinstalling the rom but it only boots me into TWRP. I also tried restoring backup files but is also boots me into TWRP. I am stuck.
PS: I tried the "fastboot continue" method but it boots me into TWRP.
reboot to fastboot mode. flash stock bootloader and recovery. reboot in stock recovery and then factory reset device and sideload firmware. alternatively you can flash raw firmware manually

Thank you for your response, Sir. I really appreciate it. Where do I get the stock bootloader and recovery, and how do I flash them? On the alternative method, do you mean I should install the stock rom? I'm sorry. I'm really not good at this; I'm just good at following tutorials. Is this what you're suggesting me to do? (XDA is now allowing me to write outside links. But here is the title of the tutorial from Asus Zentalk)
"[Experience Sharing] How to Relock Bootloader on ZenFone 2(ZE551ML ONLY)"
I have made a backup before I intalled the Lineage OS custom Rom. Can I use that instead of downloading new files, because the internet here is really bad. My problem is how I am going to install it. I tried restoring it but I keep on coming back to the TWRP.
Edit: I am now downloading the stock boot.img and recovery.img. I will be flashing them with ADB the ADB tool. Is this what you want to tell me? Then I will reboot in stock recovery, select factory reset and sideload firmware. I honestly don't get the "sideload firmware" part but can I use the one that I have backed up? How?

the backup you made you can flash only via twrp. if you have backup simply install it in twrp. but if still bootloops then you have to download firmware either from asus website or raw firmware from any other source. first try to flash backup in twrp. if you are unable to get into system them report back here. i will send you link to download raw firmware and instructions how to flash

I tried to flash the backup but still no luck. Yes, please. Thank you very much!
I'm currently downloading the "CleanSTOCK-MM.223-v3.8[STABLE][Z00A]-6 May". I hope this will fix the problem. Do you think this will work 100%? I am afraid that it will boot again to TWRP after installing another rom. Which do you think is more efficient, installing a new rom or installing raw firmware?

raw is definitely best option. are you able to mount data and cache partition in TWRP

hmm good to know device working again. strongly recommend you to perform a factory reset even device working perfectly.
I was trying to root and install a custom rom. When I installed the rom and reboot the device it said no OS installed. I have been trying to send the taimen-opm1.171019.018-factory-e96a86ae.zip file over I realized I have never done that and don't know if there is a fastboot command for push. Any help will be very nice. thanks

You don't send it to the phone but instead you unzip it in a folder with your adb/fastboot files and flash it.
