Sounds like you have corrupted your boot file. If this is the case, its a simple fix. Extract the image from the attached file to the directory where you have fastboot installed, and then issue
Code:
fastboot flash boot razr_i_boot.img
Hope this helps.

fast boot?

How have you tried rooting your phone. Did you try flashing the zip file via recovery mode, or did you use the RAZRi_Root_Windows?
If you use tried flashing via recovery mode, then you will need to download the fastboot program. Try searching XDA for RAZRi_Root_Windows, or download the Android SDK.
If you tried using RAZRi_Root_Windows, then this includes fastboot, and the recovery image i included above.
Just open command prompt on your PC, and change the the directory that has the fastboot program located. Then, while your phones in boot mode, execute
Code:
fastboot flash boot razr_i_boot.img

thanks

HTC Desire S issue

Hello all,
A friend has a HTC Desire S. He tried to install some stuff on it like new rom, HBOOT, etc. Now the phone can boot only with power and VOL DOWN. I can enter also in recovery but from there I can't install new rom to boot in it. Also HBOOT is ver. 2.00.xx not sure the last digits and there is S-ON also.
Any idea how can I fix it?
Thank you in advance.

Is the recovery CWM or 4EXT? What happens when you try to install a new rom?

If you're S-ON you have to flash the boot.img with fastboot after flashing your ROM :
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Extract it from your ROM zip and put it in the platform-tools folder of the SDK. Go in this folder then Shift+Left click --> open prompt command here
Then write the code above. Of course you need to plug the phone in fastboot mode before doing that :silly:

Hello,
thanks for the answers. I was able to handle this. Mainly the issue was that Windows 8 won't detect the phone at all. I have other computer with Win7 and I made the all the needed there.
Here is what I have used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100
Now everything is working.
Thank you all.

Stuck on boot screen

I may have bricked, want to know what went wrong and if it's permanent. Thanks, here's how it happened.
I was running one of the Omnirom nightly builds. I got a notification saying there was a new build, I decided to try it hoping it would improve my battery life. I had TWRP installed so I thought it would be ok (I chose to let it update automatically which I guess was my mistake). It did the update or tried to at least, but when it tried to boot it just gets stuck on the Asus screen. The one with the loading bar. Volume up or down with power button does nothing but get back to the same screen. Reset (using a pin) and volume up or down does the same thing. I thought the only way to permanently boot was doing the wipe option on the recovery menu, but maybe I am wrong. Is it possible to permanently brick doing what I did? Thanks. Any possible solutions?

Unlikely. What always works, if you can put it into fastboot, is install the Asus stock ROM. That will reformat/reinstall every partition.

That's holding the reset button down plus volume down right? Doesn't seem to work.

Can you get to the bootloader this way ?
Thx Josh

No, it just gets me back to the same screen. This is supposed to get me to the recovery menu right?
If it matters,my bootloader is unlocked.

Well there is not much that can be done then.....
No fastboot with a locked bootloader .....
No bootloader to boot into recoovery .....
No nvflash blobs with a locked bootloader ..
Short of a motherboard you have a paperweight .....
Sorry for the back news ......
Thx Josh

Hello
Hi
I had basically the same situation of this topic, the only i can access to fastboot.
I formated all my tablet, basically is nothing in the memory
when i tried to access over the recovery, is stuck, only blink.
Fastboot commands works but i dont know how i can recover all.
I know i need to install everything.
Can someone let me know what i can install (Kernel, firmware, rom(I want lollipop).
I had already TWRP 2.8.0
Thanks in advance

My bootloader is unlocked, unless I am misunderstanding what you're saying. On the Asus screen it says this device is unlocked. Not sure why I can't access any of the options though, unless my volume buttons is busted or something.

First step: Install new TWRP
1. Download TWRP recovery from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/tf300t; I would advise v. 2.8.4.0
2. Put 'openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-tf300t.blob' in fastboot folder of pc and rename to twrp.blob for faster typing.
3. Put tab in fasboot mode and connect.
4. Use command
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging twrp.blob[enter]
fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot[enter]
5. Let tab reboot to OS (will stay on ASUS screen, because you don't have OS as of now).
6. Reboot to bootloader screen and go to recovery (RCK); now you can flash any custom ROM you like.
Good luck!

No! Recovery comes way after fastboot mode. Recovery is loaded from your memory card. But something went wrong with your memory card, so you can't load that.
Once you booted your tablet into fastboot, type :"fastboot devices" on your PC. If it shows your tablet, you can easily flash a new ROM.

[Completed] Bricked zenfone 2 - OTA update while rooted - unsucessful flash

My problem:
I had a temporary CWM installed on my Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 4gb/32GB and without thinking, installed an OTA update form 2.20.40.63 to 2.20.40.90.
My phone booted to the Asus logo with the loading circle and got no further.
Sadly I did not have USB debugging enabled at the time so I cant detect it in ADB in recovery mode to sideload.
I have tried to copy firmware to my Micro sd and load from there but my phone has never recognised or mounted SD cards so that is out of the question.
As a last resort I tried flashing the Boot.img, Recovery.img, droidboot.img and system.img, now it wont even get to the asus logo without coming up with and android logo with a red triangle above it, the same logo that comes up when I now try to enter recovery mode.
I have recorded a video of the process I followed to flash the zfone, but cant post it here as this is my first post, but I think I can send it to someone through messages
What am I doing wrong and how do I get my phone back?
Any help would be hugely appreciated, and keep in mind Im a bit of a noob so set by step instructions would be awesome, Thanks guys
Update: the original .img files i used were apparently already rooted, so I am now extracting the 2.20.40.90 firmware from the official Asus site and I will try to flash with those.
but I cant find the system.img inside the UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.90-user.zip and was wondering, do I need to take out the Boot.img. droidboot.img and recovery.img then turn all the existing files into a system.img?

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Try asking in your device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2 They are the experts on your device. I would start by posting in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/help-post-questions-instead-making-t2997779

Ahh thank you, sorry I didnt really know where to post the question

Fixed my phone!!
Ok guys, so I figured out what I was doing wrong.
I preformed the flash correctly with pre-rooted system.img, but I didnt wipe the cache, as soon as I did, my phone booted to a normal rooted device!!
If you want to do this yourself, download pre rooted versins of these files (easy to find with a quick google search)
Recovery.img
Boot.img
Droidboot.img
System.img
ADB tethered launcher (not needed if your phone can enter recovery mode)
and place them all in a new folder (lets call it zenUnbrick)
Boot your zenfone 2 into fast boot mode, then connect it to your pc
(Hold volume up button and power button, when your phone vibrates let go of the power button and continue to hold the volume + button until you see the fastboot screen)
Now hold down shift + right click inside the zenunbrick folder and select 'open command window here'
When that opens, run these commands in this order. Wait till each one finishes and be aware that the (fastboot flash system system.img) command takes quite a while to work its magic, so be patient and dont turn off your phone
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
when your phone reboots, it will most likely still seem bricked, but do not despair!! this is where you open up the ADB tethered launcher, although if your phone can enter recovery mode then you dont need this program
Option 1 - If your phone can enter recovery mode
Boot your phone into fastboot mode
use volume up and down to select recovery mode and use power button to select
wait for your phone to reboot
when you see the broken android symbol, press volume up button and power button simultaneously
select wipe cache and wait (it takes a while)
select reboot now
Your phone is now unbricked and rooted!!
Option 2 - If your phone cant enter recovery mode
Boot your phone into fastboot mode and connect it to your pc
open ADB tethered launcher
type 'ACCEPT'
when it loads type 'T4'
wait for your phone to reboot
select wipe cache and wait (it takes a while)
Select reboot now
Your phone is now unbricked and rooted!!

My Nokia 3 is stuck in fastboot

Phone: Nokia 3
ROM / Android version: Android Nougat 7.1
Root: No
Xposed, or any other modifications: No
Any physical damage prior to defect: No
Describe your issue:
So basically I was following a tutorial on droidviews /unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-root-nokia-3/ and I installed adb on my computer and stuff etc, drivers.
Here is what I'd done
C:\adb>adb reboot recovery
Then device rebooted to recovery, and I went to fastboot from there. Now the device is stuck on a blank screen with the text:
"=> FASTBOOT mode..."
I've tried
- Holding Power button for 10+ seconds with and without charging cable
- Holding Power + VolDown button for 10+ seconds with and without charging cable
- Holding Power button down for 2 minutes...
- Connecting via PC and doing fastboot reboot / fasboot reboot recovery
- Connecting via PC and doing adb reboot
When connecting via USB 2.0 or 3.0, adb nor fastboot seem to be able to detect the device.
No results yet.
Any help is appreciated

Hi There ! Try Vol-up +Vol-down with 2 fingers and Power button.Always work!
All the best !

@Siniister Petrica is right, i just want to tell you that most guides that you find on internet except XDA for Nokia 3 are fake, so be careful.

unzip stock_recovery.zip and put it on platform-tools. then use fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery stock-recovery.img" (without quotes). If you want to flash twrp, flash it with Flashify.
