My phone: Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe NON PRO with the snapdragon 820 2.15ghz CPU..
When I try to enter fastboot mode my phone just goes nowhere and sits there. If I hard reset the phone it turns on again.. Calls and works but take one picture with camera and it shuts off.. gets the picture oddly.
Ive installed ADB on my PC and I'm about to start seeing if I can talk to the phone in fastboot even though the phone itself shows nothing at all. This happened during a failed upgrade and has NOT been able to upgrade since. I'm on 6.0 still.. failed 7.0
My question: Is there a certain way I should attempt to flash the files using ADB? I do have the RAW files from Asus support..
I'm going to post a couple pictures and a short video if needed to make this easier to understand for anyone reading this, I'm just going to try some simple commands first in ADB and see if the phone responds first. I have a feeling this could make everything much much easier if it does.
Try to enter fastboot or flash from here?
I have no recovery that I know of my phone goes totally dead when its in recovery mode and doesn't seem to respond to anything at all BUT.. When I plug in a cable it makes the connecting sound over the PC.. I'm about to try a few different scenarios of trying to enter fastboot other than manually with the side buttons but if that doesn't work what are my odds of repairing my file system from this state? I can get into MOST of the files in the LS.. but not all I do not have root access but I can get into pretty much everything else just FYI. If anyone has any questions or advice feel free to chime in at anytime.
I got into fastboot using command.
I assume its pretty straight forward from here I'll just post the steps I'm about to take or links to what guide or guides I follow just in case anyone else suffers from this in the future.
I used the commands in the following order :
adb devices (to start the server)
adb shell (to get connected to the phone)
reboot bootloader (to reboot into fastboot)
When the phone rebooted it looked stuck on the Asus logo but once it settled I tried the command :
fastboot devices (BAM it showed up instantly)
Now I have downloaded some RAW STOCK and TWRP files I'm I'm planning to restore my factory 6.0 ROM.
If this is successful then I plan to make a backup... and then sleep before I play more lol

Hello, I tried today to s-off my desire but failed so i gave up but ended up with the usb-brick issue, no problems here, lots of tutorials, but I accidentally updated my phone OTA from HTC and now I don't have amon-ra recovery anymore, only the android recovery which needs signed packages. I do have the SU app installed, so I guess my phone is still rooted, but I am unable to install a recovery in order to unbrick my phone. The only thing that is working is "fastboot", but can't flash a new rom, can't flash a new recovery.
Any ideas? I really don't want to sent my phone to a service...
LE: If I try to install any app from any source, including Market, my phone restarts, fast restarts actually...
tried unrevoked? this installs clockwork recovery mod.
or android flasher -attched
doesnt your phone needs to be ON with unrevoked? from there you must plug it in whith unrevoked opened on your PC.
But you can always try. I highly doubt your phone is unfixable, itll be allright.
Tried to re-root my phone but because my usb connection doesn't work anymore, the unrevoked program doesn't "see" my phone. The only thing that i need, in my opinion is an root explorer packed as a signed zip that the original android recovery can flash and i may be able to regain usb functionality.
you should try a differnt PC and do the process. I had a similar issue sometime back and when I changed the PC i was working on it worked.
That doesn't make much sense because the problem is in my phone, not in my computer...
Latest update: I prepared my phone for service, managed to flash a shipped rom without root, so there is no sign on it that I rooted it or flashed another custom rom/recovery. Still can't access the phone via usb so unrevoked still not a solution. Any new ideas before I say bye-bye to my Desire ?

You should try this :
- usb debugging mode ON
- install VWM ( virtual ware machine ) and boot with the .img of the hboot needed at http://alpharev.nl
- the device should be plugged and the aplharev hboot pushed with the last clockworkworld recovery
if not working, unfortunately not so many solutions but you still can try to unbrick the usb and then you will "unrevoked" easily your desire !
Take a look on alpharev developers chat for bricked phones
Hope it helps
My last piece of work

Nothing posted on xda or other android forums worked so today I handed my Desire to my carrier because I still have warranty . I hope they don't find any of my modifications , I did un-rooted it so it should be stock enough for them
Something I do not understand :
Last time I USB bricked my phone, I went to hboot, then fastboot, and entered the fastboot commande :
Code:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
as stated in many tuto.
This re-enables the USB, and then, you may again flash any recovery via unrevoked.
Actually that command re-enables the micro-sd controller, not the usb.
Hello devs,
my HTC Desire Z broke over night.
The phone still works, boots and runs as expected, but the Screen is dead, although the Touchscreen is still working (PatternUnlock working and so on).
I want to send it in for warranty repair, but I still have flashed Clockwork Recovery with S-OFFand Cyanogen 9 RC1 and root.
That's the reason why I want to flash the original image PC10IMG via fastboot.
How can I access the bootloader and boot into fastboot?
I tried:
Volume Down and waiting long enough (~45s) and then pressed Power to access Fastboot, but it doesn't work.
(I think the clockwork menu is presented instead of the android bootloader menu, which I don't know by minds).
Debug mode is off on the phone, so "adb reboot fastboot" does not work
Can someone with a Desire Z and Clockwork Recovery flashed give an step-by-step instruction how to boot into fastboot if your screen is dead?
Thank you in advance.

That's what I tried already, but sadly it doesn't work due to Clockwork Recovery I think.
My device reboots when I press power after one minute, which makes sense if this screenshot represents my menu.

In the ClockworkMod in this screenshot is fastboot not listed and I couldn't find a screenshot of the advanced menu nor the complete menu structure where fastboot was listed.
I'm using the most recent version of Clockwork Rom Manager and Recovery Image
Should be 5.0.2.7 I think.
You don't need to use recovery at all with my guide.
You can go straight to fastboot mode, from powered down, by holding the Trackpad while powering on, then you can use your computer to talk to it and send a rom to flash.

Thank you very much I didn't knew the Trackpad shortcut and didn't find / oversee it in your guide.
That was the one I needed.
You made my day!
:fingers-crossed:
Yeah I don't think I mentioned it in my guide, as the guide is also written for Ace/Glacier, which don't have trackpads.
I'm glad you managed to get it sorted

Hi guys,
I can't flash any ROM/Kernel/whatever file via Bootloader/ODIN & Recovery. Worst still I can't access Recovery now.
My Nexus can goto Bootloader or ODIN mode but once i started to push files to it, it will just freeze. Please refer below for photos:

BEFORE
AFTER
My Gnex was on the latest Paranoid ROM and Franco kernel.
Timeline:
1. It just went into bootloop when I am just browsing the internet.
2. Went to Recovery to clear cache. (that's my mistake, should have waited longer for my device to boot :crying
3. Still bootloop.
4. Went to recovery to flash stock kernel as I suspect it's kernel fault.
5. Kernel flash failed as it the operation was aborted and restarted. Bootloop again.
6. Done battery pull and went to Recovery to Restore my backup Nandroid.
7. Flashing halfway and it frooze.
8. Can't access Recovery anymore.
9. Tried to restore stock rom using ODIN. Failed at NandWrite as the screen froze as the above image.
10. Tried WugfFresh to restore back to stock rom and failed again as the screen froze.
So guys, can i conclude that my motherboard is the culprit here?
Thanks in advance.
Are you able to get into the bootloader? Have you tried manual fastboot flash of factory images?

Hi,
Yes, I am able to get to bootloader.. the problem is when i start to do fastboot flash the factory images (using WugFresh).. the screen will start to freeze with double image as per my 1st post...

Sound like there is a possibility of corrupt nand partition .... though that is usually unlikely unless you are an extreme flashaholic ... but still possible
but the guy above is suggesting use the fastboot commands manually rather than using the toolkit as it sometimes makes a difference
As in manually flash the recovery in the bootloader then see if you can get into recovery, but there are many avenues that you can take to see where you can get with this. There are many places that explain how to do this step by step on the web.
Also you should always try switching usb ports and usb cables as sometimes it will cause issues
I know i used the same usb port with the same usb cable to flash my n7 and gnex multiple time then one day it just stopped working switched the port and cable then it started working again.
But other than that I don't know much about is a possible JTAG but I really doubt that will help at all since the device does does get into bootloader and odin just freezes....

corrupt nand partition... that's an interesting theory... will explore on the solutions on the manual fastboot commands...

A friend asked me to look at his 8.9 HD. It boots to the Kindle Fire screen, which I believe is stock from what I've researched, and then the screen is blank. I've tried holding power button for 20 seconds, 40 seconds, 120 seconds and always boots to this. Tried charging and turning on ect ect and always the same. I'm on 7 64-bit. When I run the kindle fire usb driver installer I get an error near the end about it not installing correctly (I click allow when it starts and check Trust Amazon). Then I tried Soupkit inside Ubuntu. Somehow I once got it to go into fastboot mode, the only change I've ever seen on this tablet, but can't do it again.
I've rooted/restored HTCs Samsungs LGs Motorolas.....never had this much trouble with a device. I think the main issue is its not on long enough for drivers to install or fastboot to catch it. The one time it did work I believe I ran "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" in Ubuntu and it said waiting for device and then it caught it on reboot. Again, can't replicate this. Also not sure what to do then. Not really looking to root or whatnot, just fix it to stock. If I have to install TWRP or something to do this so be it.
Please help....
Also I've been trying the Kindle Fire First Aide, stuck on waiting for device. I get an error every now and then for the device, jem-pvt-prod-04 no driver found. I've tried 2 or 3 different Kindle Fire HD downloads plus the ones in the First Aide.
Ok finally able to reliably get into Fastboot in Windows. Now I tried the restore option with the First Aide but getting errors and after running it nothing has changed.

I realize I'm talking to myself but hopefully someone will see I'm trying and not just OMG someone fix this kthxbi. Since I can get into fastboot I tried the SRT tool, which didnt really have a 'restore' option, and nothing changed. I found 8.1.4. recovery, boot, and system IMGs (https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4lZEJI5lYeMNGdXMHI3T3pKM2c&usp=sharing) and pushed them (see pic below). Now I'm stuck booting into the Stock recovery.
Tried First Aide and still stuck in Recovery. I've tried doing it erasing the data/cache and not erasing. Both give me this
Got it finally fixed by flashing TWRP (after hunting down the files) and then using Restore 2 Stock here, https://www.perfectlyandroid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=618
How to flash TWRP for 8.9 HD?

Indigo, can you please point me in the right direction for finding the TWRP recovery files for the 8.9 HD? And what commands did you use to flash them? Something like "fastboot flash recovery recovery-prod.img -i 0x1949" ?
I've been following the same path as you... first tried First Aide, which got me into Fastboot, but won't actually restore to stock. Then tried flashing boot and recovery images found on XDA, but that didn't seem to help things. I think my Kindle is in the same state yours was, so would be really useful to get more detail on how you finally solved it with TWRP and Restore 2 Stock.
Thanks!
Joe
Indigo, never mind. I successfully found, flashed, and ran TWRP on my Kindle 8.9HD. But for some reason when I try to run the Restore 2 Stock program, it "Cannot find a device in TWRP mode". I can actually run Restore 2 Stock while starting the Kindle in fastboot, and then Restore 2 Stock finds the device and kicks it into TWRP mode, but as soon as that happens Restore 2 Stock somehow loses its connection to the Kindle and pops up the "Cannot find a device in TWRP" error message.
So I need to keep troubleshooting.
Hi guys, i'm new in this forum, so please pardon me if i did something wrong.
i really need a help now, my asus zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) got bricked Yesterday.
this is the timeline why my zenfone 2 got bircked:
1. I rooted my phone without cwm or anything else on around 2 weeks ago
2. Yesterday, i recieved the firmware update message (auto download) and i accidentaly clicked on update now without unrooting first.
3. My phone stuck on the logo screen, loading forever (softbrick?)
4. i've tried to factory reset and wipe all the system cache via recovery mode, but it didn't wok.
5. i looked at some forum and youtube said that i can flash rom my device to unbrick my device with 2 ways : via adb and microsd.
6. using adb sound promising, so i learnt how to flash rom via adb and i downloaded the latest firmware on the official website.
7. i tried to flash rom via adb: i've put the firmware zip on adb folder and open windows command in that folder, i connected my zenfone 2 with usb and start to "apply update from adb" and type "adb sideload xxxx.zip".
8. several times later i got message: "timed out waiting for package, installation aborted".
9. i repeated step 7 and 8 for almost 5 times and the results are same
Can someone help me? I'm really frustated now cause i can't using my phone or maybe share the reference about flash rom with microsd, because i've tried it but i don't really understand how to do it
Thx. in advance for all of you
nb: i've tried to search in this forum, but i didn't find correct answer for me

FINALLY I FOUND HOW TO FIX IT IN THIS SITE http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=39487 THE PROBLEM IS PERSIST WITH MINE AND FINALLY I DIDN'T NEED TO STPCK RECOVERY! THX FOR THE REPLIES GUYS
since you know how to go into recovery mode so i'll skip that part,
use this adb tool instead https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001607611
If you have an external sdcard take it out and copy the firmware you want to side load and copy it to the external sdcard. Now name it "MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip" and reboot to fastboot and choose recovery. It should automatically flash the firmware. Move it to a folder when you are done or it will install automatically every time you reboot to recovery.
