Hi everyone,
Yesterday my HW1 went spontaneously into a bootloop (continous spinning android circles). I could enter into bootloader mode, and then into recovery mode. I cleared data & cache and after confirm operation the watch started to throw errors and then restarted, but no more android cricles, just the huawei splash, the robot image during half a second and huawei logo again.
So, I decided to reinstall the whole firmware. But now I've found the first obstacle: The watch refuses to make bootloader unlocking. After sending the command via fastboot, and confirm unlocking on the watch screen (fasboot message: "OKEY"), it restarts at fastboot menu but "unlocked:no" is the last line on the screen...
With locked bootloader, I can not flash any firmware...
Please help me to bring it back to life.

Watch gets past the ASUS Boot Screens but gets stuck in the Android Boot animation.
I've tried booting into recovery (swipe top right to bottom left) but it doesn't work.
I can get into Fastboot and from there I've tried wiping the cache, unlocking, and relocking the bootloader. None of those options seem to do anything.
Background:
I've got two Android watches of my own (360 and LG G) and was actually just helping a friend upgrade the firmware on his ASUS ZenWatch since he's got an iphone.
1) I tethered to my phone and began the firmware download from stock, but it kept throwing an error about running out of memory, even after a factory reset.
2) I booted into Fastboot unlocked and wiped the cache. After this it successfully downloaded and upgraded to Android 5.0.
3) Went to download the next version (5.1 is needed for iPhone) and kept getting an error (this time different, couldn't get any matches doing Google searches). Tried a factory reset and it went into this mode where it makes it to the Android Wear boot animation and stays there until the battery dies.
I'm thinking the watch has some sort of hardware defect since he says he bought the watch new and it's failing on all firmware upgrades and won't boot into recovery.
Any suggestions? I'm not aware of any stock recovery images.
Hello Everybody,
I had a working Zenfone 2, flashed with LineageOS. I decided to factory reset my phone via the Settings app, as I was intending to pass it off to someone, but instead of taking me to the setup screen, I was brought to TWRP recovery. At this point, when I rebooted to system, it would take me to TWRP again and again. I then decided to wipe everything (dalvik, data, cache, internal storage, etc., except MicroSD, as I was intending to reflash and had the latest LineageOS nightly, GApps, addonSU, and latest TWRP for the Zenfone2).
Within TWRP, I went to install and chose the latest TWRP image to flash to recovery. I then rebooted and it went straight to my bootloader (Fastboot mode). I would show a picture but I am a new user so I cannot. It is the screen with the android laying down with its stomach open. At the top, I can choose between "Normal Boot", "Recovery", "Restart Bootloader", and "Power Off". At the bottom, it says "Fastboot mode", followed by a bunch of information about my device, followed by "Continue the fastboot process?" in green text.
At this point, I can't even get back to the recovery, after using the volume buttons to select to boot into Recovery. It will always bring me back here. Using Fastboot on my computer, I flashed TWRP recovery again, but when the phone reboots, it goes back to the bootloader again, even when I select reboot to Recovery. Since then, I've tried running the Unlock Marshmallow Bootloader file, and my phone said Unlock failed, and I was brought back to the bootloader screen (Except this time, the text at the bottom "continue the fastboot process?" is in blue instead of green). I tried running the Unlock Lollipop bootloader files, and the same thing, my phone said unlock failed, and that is where I stopped because I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing and fear I am just making things worse.
Can anyone help me get my phone functioning again? At this point, I don't care if I have LineageOS on it, or just plain Stock firmware from ASUS. I just want my phone to work again.
Thank you very much in advance.
So far, I decided since my tablet was running slower than it did when I first got it, to reset it. And since I was doing that, might as well unlock the bootloader.
Well, I unlocked the device, attempted to install TWRP, then got the remote failed error, unknown command. Apparently you have to install it via flashify or whatever. Anyhow...
I rebooted the device, but now, all it does is go into recovery, shows the android robot on its side for a split second, then starts flashing white then black on the screen. The only way to stop it is to pull off the battery connector.
The LG mobile tool can see it in download mode, send it the latest kdz image or whatever, works, but still goes back to the same error - boots to recovery then hangs.
Is there a way to fix this? Trying to get it to boot a recovery img didn't work. Erasing all data seemed to have done nothing.
Did you ever unbrick it...?
Hi,
I have a Brazilian stock mMoto Z2 Force, XT1789-05, never unlocked the bootloader or root or whatever in this phone, just did the normal Motorola updates as they arrived.
2 months ago I had some battery issues, changed it and was working just fine until this morning. Today the phone restarted after I closed the alarm, and got stuck in boot loop.
I read some threads about this problem for people messing with Roms and baseband, but they don't really apply for me.
The phone reaches the Motorola logo and after a few seconds it restarts.
I can go into fastboot and select recovery mode, but then there's just a black screen with "No commands" written.
Tried Factory Mode with no success.
LMSAA don't recognize the phone, and don't let me select the correct one.
Is there anything else I could try? Maybe force LMSA to do it's magick? manually selecting my phone model for example?
