That's what a semi brick looks like.. could also be a full brick. I've been able to reach fatsboot with it in that mode and then flash a modified hboot file and then flash twrp and then recover.
Try unplugging/replugging, reboot PC, uninstall all phone software/drivers, reinstall latest HTC Sync. Either fastboot or an RUU should still work.
If none of that works you could try the unbrick evita thread, you'll need linux or a linux boot disk.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate. Try not to panick, that will only make it harder to focus and get it working again.

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?

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!!
Hi,
I was trying to flash TWRP, but now I am stuck with flashing TWRP logo after rebooting or powering the phone on.
I am unable to get to the fastboot.
STEPS I did before brick:
1. unlocked OEM via official way
2. flashed TWRP
3. after that my phone was reset however most of the apps was missing, I was trying to do factory reset once again but it failed with the message "Data partition was heavily damaged"
4. I re-locked EOM
5. brick as mentioned above
Please help, I have the phone only two weeks and I have no idea how to fix this without fastboot.
Thank you.

Sounds like you flashed the 3030 version of TWRP. Download the 3020 version and put it in your fastboot folder. Plug in the USB to PC
Hold power and volume up untill the phone reboots. While it's still off immediately change to power and volume down and hold till it goes into fastboot (bootloader)
Now fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
With the 3020 version.
Unplug the USB and hold power and volume up until it says the phone is booting.. let go and TWRP will load.
Go to Wipe / format data / type yes
Reboot to system and your all set

So I've tried that but the phone is still booting to recovery (flashing TWRP logo) no matter what.
Basically the phone is always on now because if hold the power button (or any other combination) for a few second it will just reboot back.
I have an access only to ADB, but I am not able to boot to bootloader at all, it seems the bootloader is damaged somehow.
Also that warning about unlocked OEM doesn't have that text saying "hold volume up to boot to recovery" etc. like before brick.
Hi there,
Try using the Huawei Multi Tool with the Unbrick option : https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/tool-huawei-multi-tool-team-mt-t3523923
Speaking from experience, this little fellow helped me recover my phone when I bricked it ON DAY ONE after failed root attempt... (Derp)
Let me know if it helped you
(Leave a thanks if it did )
EDIT : This tool is also useful if you want to get lazy whilst rooting. I use it constantly when flashing diffrent bits and pieces
Clearly follow My steps To unbrick and get normal device ::
Step 1 ::
Download the full firmware of your device.
Step 2 :
make sure that your bootloader is in unlocking state
Follow the video blindly ::: https://youtu.be/OMKDnBqbi3U?list=PL...eT9J26lkefvVkK
don't panic of mobile.
Step 3 :: done ..enjoy u did it
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you bricked on nougat then follow the below steps
step one :::
download the downgrade package to mm .
then extract the zip and open the update.app using HuaweiUpdateextrator in that select recovery and extract
1.now, boot your device into fastboot and flash the recovery (Optional)(try this if it said incompatible version on recovery)
2. on your sd card and make a folder "dload" . and copy the update.app which we have extracted earlier
3.the switch off the device and press all three buttons you will be reboot into recovery and done . you device will be okey

Booting to the bootloader is just a timing issue
Phone must be hooked to PC with USB
And volume up and power till it goes black
Then immediately volume down and power and Hold untill the bootloader loads
Keep trying until you get it

I appreciate your help but I've tried it multiple times always with the same result.
I also can use "adb reboot bootloader", but it will reboot again to stuck recovery.

I've tried that, but I am still stuck as that tool is using fastboot as every other tool to flash .img files.
Thank you for the tip though.
Plug phone into computer with USB, then hold down power + volume down until it eventually boots into bootloader. I had the same scenario as you and that's how I got into the bootloader. You can flash either a good TWRP or the stock recovery, either one will work.
Anybody facing issues entering this download mode should read this.
Here's a personal method I've found to work every time.
Access fastboot by turning off your phone, and then hold vol- and the power key, you will now be greeted by the fastboot screen.
From here you will need to download twrp recovery and flash it via fastboot. I personally have a locked bootloader on my phone but it doesn't stop me from doing anything.
TWRP: "tried posting a url, but it didn't let me"
Once you've flashed twrp as your recovery (sometimes you may have to try multiple times), you can boot into recovery by holding vol+ and the power button.
Once you're in your new recovery, your phone should automatically be running adb. from here just open up adb on your computer and use the command "adb reboot edl"
you phone should boot into EDL with ease. I found literally no other way of doing this on my MI4. the deep flash cable method didnt work, vol + and vol- held down didnt work, nothing worked other than this.
Thanks for this! Was having a hard time because my Mi4 goes directly to twrp when I press volume up and power button when I was bricked yesterday. Great job!
thx u
its woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooork ur the hero of the day

Thanks i try a flash room but i cant connect to recovery
Flashing Stock ROM doesn't require a Custom Recovery nor default Stock Recovery: it's achieved by means of ADB
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot sideload
adb sideload <PATH-ON-PC-TO-STOCK_ROM.ZIP>

hi, I hope I'm in the right place to get help with my issue. my Ace is in a reboot loop that i can't seem to get it out of. i have tried force rebooting and lt will not enter into recovery mode so that each time i would hit recovery mode the screen goes blank for a few seconds then the moto logo (M powered by Android) screen comes on with vibration for six seconds then again to blank repeating this loop until i again hold power and volume down buttons. I do have a lot of apps installed but this phone has a whole lot of memory that came with it. I am hoping this forum may have some ideas to help me rectify this issue. thank you.
While connected to a pc, enter the fastboot - w command. This will erase the internal memory and your phone should be able to boot.

thank you for responding. I connected my phone to my laptop but it does not detect it. my phone has, highlighted in red, AP fastboot flash mode (secure). also, tools mode: Disabled, and OEM locked
If you can reboot to recovery, try a factory reset.

thats the problem I"m having is getting into the recovery. I hold the volume down and the power buttons down till I can see the options recovery mode, but when I click on it by pushing on the power button, that's when it goes into the loop mode and never goes into recovery.
Use the Lenovo tool to download and flash the stock rom which includes a recovery.

I did what you adviced and I was instructed to enable debugging or fastboot mode in order to be able to rescue. But if I was able to do either one of those that means I wouldn't need help booting up. follow what I'm saying? because I would have to get into the settings to enable debugging or fastboot mode, somthing I can't do because my phone will not boot up.
To enable fastboot moode, hold the power button and the volume down button at the same time. This should put you in the right place. You should get red text that says you are in fastboot mode. If not, go to https://t.me/motoblankflash and ask for help.
