stuck on boot and need data on the device - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all
i have a zenfone 2 that got stuck on boot (asus logo screen) out of nowhere
ihavent modified the phone at all no custom roms nothing
i have search over the enternet and all i get is flash official rom and a wipe data along the process
i need to get my data out of the phone before erasing and going to factory reset
is there any possible way to connect my enternal storage from boot
or can i flash a official rom without the need to wipe data
PS: i tried flashing the rom without wipedata from the asus flashtool and i am still stuck at the asus logo screen on boot

thnx

If you used the flash tool, it may already be too late. That automatically wipes the phone clean!

If battery low than power off and charge 1 hour and power on.
Do you changed clock/GPU speed if so first just wipe cache from recovery
If again loop than flash the ROM without wipe data
All above failed wipe the data and flash the ROM or flash stock ROM from boot loader

Flash stock image with full wipe. If that still does not help then return it in warranty.

They likely failed because you were using a toolkit. Read how to use ADB, and you will have your phone working.
First try to explain better, i dont understand anything. Read how to use fastboot and adb, grab the stock imagea and flash em via fastboot . (sdcard will get wiped, so use this as your LAST solution).
The first thing you need to do is STOP USING TOOLKITS, IT MAKES PEOPLE LAZY!! people dont know how to do adb and fastboot because of the toolkit!!
Now, boot your phone into bootloader mode, reflash the latest clockworkmod recovery and boot into recovery.
I assume you still have a rom on your sdcard. If you havent, learn how to push the rom via the adb sideload.
Then wipe your phone:
-wipe data factory reset
-format SYSTEM
-wipe cache
-wipe dalvik cache
-flash rom
-flash gapps(optional, only if your rom doesnt have the gapps included)
Now reboot the phone. It should boot perfectly fine.

To be a hell alot safer, you update your recovery through fastboot.

[Q] Stuck at boot and CWM doesn't boot

i accidently enabled some option under development tools (something about dual display, and i pressed in 1080p option) and when i did that the hole phone froze and i restarted and now it keeps getting stuck in boot.
But the hardest part is that i can't get in to CWM i keep trying but it just boots over and over again. I even tried to install another CWM with odin but no luck there still the same.. cause i have a backup but i can't reach it.
so if you guys don't know how to fix it could you tell me how to wipe all so i can re-install cm10.2 and then just restore from the backup i did before that's sitting on my ext.sdcard

Some suggestion
A) Try to download full wipe stock rom which you will get 5 files.
Or
B) flash twrp thru odin pc , boot into it and perform full wipe.
Or
C) Download bootloader and flash it thru pc odin and full wipe rom as well ( dangerous)
Just for your information, please use search function to find the related thread( mentioned above) and understand it before you proceed.

[Q] GSM Galaxy Nexus complete wipe... Help needed

Please Help....
I have a GSM galaxy nexus with the latest Slimbean 4.3 custom ROM. Recently my phone randomly started bootlooping. I was reading something on Flipboard when suddenly it rebooted for no apparent reason. When my phone restarted I was waiting for my widgets to load and after about 30s it rebooted again and now for the past two days it doesnt work for for more than 30s before it reboots. I tried to get into Trickster MOD to disable set on boot but I don't have enough time. I've tried everything suggested in all the threads without success.
Here's what I tried so far to fix my phone:
1. I have custom recovery TWRP 2.6.0.0 installed on my phone. I rebooted into recovery and tried to dirty flash Slimbean 4.3 build.1 and GAPPs again. But it continued to boot loop
2. Next I went to the wipe menu and did a factory reset wiping cache, dalvik and data (not data/media) then I reinstalled Slimbean 4.3 and GAPPs. surprisingly when I rebooted it was as if the factory reset did not work. All my apps my widgets and my customizations were still there. I didn't go through the android initial setup process that you normally go through when you do a clean wipe, and my phone again started to boot loop.
3. I decided to forego any data that I have on my phone so I rebooted back into recovery and this time from the TWRP wipe menu I did a Format Data in the hope that it would wipe my phone completely. I expected it to wipe all my data, the ROM, everything except the bootloader and the recovery. Nothing was wiped. Even though I got a message saying success, when I rebooted the phone it booted back into Slimbean and all my apps and widgets and customizations were still there and it started to boot loop again!!
4. so I moved on to the next step. Using Nexus Root Toolkit v1.7.2 by WugFresh I decided to flash a Factory image on my phone first I tried to flash a TAKJU 4.3 JWR66Y factory image in bootloader mode using fastboot. Everything seem to succeed normally... radio.img, recovery.img, boot.img and userdata.img all seemd to proceed normally. After about 10 minutes of going through this I rebooted my phone and still nothing had changed. My phone booted back into Slimbean with all my apps and my widgets and my customization intact and it continued to bootloop again.
5. I repeated the above with a TAKJU 4.2.2 JDQ39 factory image. Again it seemed to complete successfully but when I rebooted it went back into Slimbean and I still had all my apps and my data and my customizations intact. My phone continued to boot loop.
6. I decided to try Odin to flash a factory image. I used ODIN3 v1.87 and loaded the i9250 PIT file to repartition my phone and I loaded a TAKJU 4.3 md5 file under PDA. The process completed successfully showing a bright green pass. When I rebooted my phone keeping my fingers crossed nothing had changed. Slimbean, all my apps, all my widgets, my data and the bootloop were all still there!!
7. I tried the same process with ODIN3 v3.07 however each time halfway through flashing system.img the process would fail and nothing would change.
Right now I'm completely flabbergasted and I don't know what else to try I wish there was a way to completely wipe my phone so that It would have no OS, no partitions, no data, a fresh clean slate that I could repartition and flash a factory image and proceed from there. I'm wondering if there is any tool out there that can do a low level format of the NAND so no trace of any OS or any data remains. Perhaps then I can flash a bootloader and a recovery and factory image. Even if someone could help me softbrick my phone so that it wouldn't boot up, it would be welcome change from this frustration that I'm experiencing. Any suggestions and any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Nexus 7 (2013) self-bricked??

Hello everyone!
I suspect that my N7(2013) bricked itself overnight. Before going to sleep, I was watching videos on YouTube. If I remember correctly it was around 45% of battery left. I just put it to sleep as usually, and gone to sleep. In the morning it was dead, so I plugged it to charger and left it that way. After an hour, when I came back I turned it on. It showed the google screen and I put it down. After a while I noticed, that it's still on google logo. I decided to hold the power button so it could reboot. After a reboot, nothing has changed. Next idea I came up with was to enter the bootloader. Tablet booted to bootloader normally and then:
-Start option hangs on google logo
-power off works just fine
-reboot bootloader also works
-recovery mode hangs indefinitely on TeamWin logo.
By now, I have no idea what to do with it. The point is would like to save my data. Is there anything that could be done?

Sound like pretty much your only option is to flash a factory image thru fastboot, you can download them from here
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#razor
Make sure your boot loader is unlocked
Boot the tablet in to fastboot and run the flash-all.bat file if your using windows, of flash-all.sh for Mac and Linux.you should now have a stock tablet, with the stock recovery, I would also perform a factory data reset thru the stock recovery before rebooting the tablet.
If you would rather use a toolkit, wugs fresh is a good toolkit, and should be able to automate the above steps.
http://www.wugfresh.com
I should also point out that you need to have the proper driver's installed on your PC wugs fresh should guide you thru the process, if you don't already have them installed
I forgot to mention: Yes my bl is unlocked, but doesn't flashing factory image wipe all data? I have one more question: On my PC xperia fastboot drivers are installed. Can I use them, or do I have to install some other drivers? Fastboot recognizes device but I want to be sure.

If it is recognize in fastboot you should be good to go, and yes it will wipe you data unfortunately if you can't enter recovery, there's not much that can be done. I have never been in this situation myself, and maybe someone with more experience than I will have a solution, such as reformatting your partitions thru fastboot, but as I said I've never found myself in this situation, and if it were me I would just flash back to stock, if you happen to have a backup on your PC, you can reinstall your recovery, and restore your backup, anything else is above my understanding of this, or is not possible.
All backups are on tablet both titanium and TWRP. I just wanted to know if it's possible to recover it. I'll try to flash everything w/out wiping data. I think there was such option in wugfresh's toolkit. Maybe it's just one partition that's broken. But I've got feeling like it's going to be data partition that's broken. Thanks for help anyway. I'll try that tomorrow, because it's late night now.

If adb is working then you can adb pull your files assuming the file path it not corrupted

Just Swipe to factory reset in TWRP (leaves data in tact) and flash your Nandroid. Then reboot into system. You can adb sideload onto TWRP from your computer as well. This requires adb not fastboot.

There is a file called flash-all in the factory images, open it and remove the -w from the command line, that is what wipes the data.

I believe he cannot boot into recovery, so he cannot simply factory reset, no? I also thought that to use the adb side load feature, you had to be able to access twrp advanced>adb Sideload and that's for installing zips, no? I was thinking maybe he could adb pull a backup from the device, then install factory image, flash twrp, then restore from there? Or maybe simply reflashing the recovery? (I personally wasn't going to recommend any of this, since I don't have any personal experience in the situation) Maybe I'm missing something? or maybe I'm just an idiot, and I'm in over my head, and I need to read into things more before I post? feel free to tell me so. I'm always trying to learn about anything I can, and someone with more experience setting me straight is always a good way to achieve this lol. I like mpdamaged idea, but isn't that pretty much a dirty flash, and carries some inherent risks, seeing as how he's using xposed, I know it doesn't make any permanent changes to your system, but wouldn't this be the same concept as accepting an ota, in witch case you would need to first remove the xposed framework? Anyway hopefully someone can fill me in and he fixes his tablet, and I learn something lol.

This. You can flash a factory image without data getting cleared and it's a very simple mod. Alternative is to extract the factory image until U have all .img files extracted (have to extract twice if I remember right) then u can fastboot flash system.img and boot.img only and that should work
Another thing, have you tried to reflash TWRP since it stopped working? Could just be corrupted and a reflash could fix it.

Don't know if you figured out how to save your data before flashing factory image but there is a very easy way to save your Titanium Backups and TWRP backups,
Plug your Nexus 7 into your computer and using MTP (assuming that still works) and look for the TB and TWRP files you can copy them to your computer and once you get your N7 back working just copy the files back to your N 7 and all your backups will be there for you to use. You can even open the files and save just what is important or save everything.
Yes I know that, but as I said tablet is totally unconnectable via adb. Can't boot to Android and can't boot to recovery. By the way I realized that when I hotbooted stock kernel from fastboot it froze on the bootloader screen but I left it plugged to PC and after a while my PC recognized "unknown MTP device" but couldn't find any drivers for it. If I hotboot TWRP.img is it gonna boot to recovery or it doesn't work like that?

If my memory serves me right, Titanium Backup can restore apps from TWRP backup, right? That way I should be able to save all my data.

Yeah, it would come up pretty quick. Something's not right...try an older version to rule that out, I know 2.6.3 worked for me using fastboot boot.
TWRP is still hanged but device manager showed up "nexus 7" with everything else unknown and code 28 which is no driver installed. Which driver should I install for it?

SM-T520 Softbricked, stuck on boot

I was trying to install a custom firmware and it failed for some reason. Now I'm stuck in on the logo.
I have tried about 7 or 8 different stock firmwares on Odin, 3 of them failed because they were the wrong region, and 5 were successful but still stuck in on the logo.
ROMS Tried:
BTU-T520XXUAOD2-20150603140459
T520UEUANI1_T520XARANI1_XAR
T520UEUAOD1_T520XARAOD1_XAR

T520UEUANF4_T520XARANF4_XAR
T520UEUANK1_T520XARANK1_XAR
I read from another thread that all I have to do is clear the cache/dalvik cache. I tried to do this through adb but adb devices does not show any devices, it just comes up blank. Android Studio won't download platform tools or the Google USB drivers either so maybe that's why its not detected?
This tablet was purchased in the US.
If someone can provide me with a STOCK rom that will work or help me figure out adb to clear the cache that would be awesome.
Thank you!
You should only flash the region your device is made for. Hopefully you have custom rom like twrp, go into that and wipe delvic and cache , that may fix boot prob

I only flashed the UK ROM because I couldn't find the US ROM. It turns out that the US ROM is labelled "Cellular South" which is far from obvious. And in terms of TWRP I think that went away when I tried to flash stock. I can try to flash TWRP back with Odin tomorrow and see if it will take though.
Have you tried using Kies to do emergency restore? I had soft-bricked my 10.1 when I got it trying to root. Wasn't paying attention and accidentally tried flashing the CF-auto-root file that was for my phone (Note 4) to the tablet. Found the stock rom but all the ones I found was taking like 8-10hrs to download.
So i used Kies and under Tools, selected Firmware Upgrade and Initialization. PUt in my serial number and model number and had tablet in "Downloading mode" and was able to recover the tablet that way. When i tried doing the Emergency restore, it wouldn't recognize device as being connected so I had to try the other options for it work.
