Tried to update to CM 11 / 4.4 KitKat and got "unrecoverable bootloader error"
So I messed up big time. Trying to update to the new unofficial 4.4 OmniRom and had to update TWRP from 2.5.0.0 to the latest 2.6.3.1 in order to flash the new 4.4 ROM but it kept giving me an 'set_metadata_recursive'. So I used the version provided and then used Flashify app on Google play (mistake) to flash it (it said that it installed successfully). Then when I reseted to recovery it got corrupted. So I thought I installed at the wrong place and installed as a zip, recovery and IMG. (Bigger mistake). Now it won't load at all on any OS and boot loader and recovery are corrupted.
Can some one help me? Please o)v_v)o

Sorry, but after reading your post 4 times I still have no idea what you actually did.....
If you still have access in ADB (since you can't access the bootloader??) the link LMK gave you may save your bacon.
If you don't have any kind of access: ADB or fastboot and you do not have nvFlash blobs - sorry, you bricked.
Can I access fastboot when I get the menu at RCK / Android / Wipe? Because if I click con any of these its says that bootloader is corrupted.
What's the Command to fix TWRP using a computer / or other Android device?

I think this may be different. Clearing the misc partition solved the problem of force booting into recovery.
Here he can't get into recovery... Not looking good.....

I think that his/her bootloader is still partly function because the fastboot is running.. I don't want to give any advice unless I know for sure that it works. If someone have a better knowledge on the bootloader and recovery, it can be up and running again, I hope...

Hey guys thank you for your help. I had learned that I encountered a softbrick. I got my tabby fix reading ]Unrecoverable bootloader error(0x00000000) Which led me to Softbrick - possible solution for you
Followed these steps...

My solution
I have the same on my TF300t and A700 - but it seems i just managed to get my TF300t back
i tried all fastboot (reflashing recovery, boot, system etc) no dice - especially since writing system was done after 3 secs all the time.
Here how i restored my TF300T JB
download your appropriate lates firmware from Asus (WW, US etc.) and extract the zip twice so you have your blob file
install your device drivers if needed (i used Google SDK ones) (and as a Tip Win8 sucks for Fastboot stuff so try to get Win7 Vista XP for this)
Reset your device with a paperclip/needle (about 2 cm down of your sdcard slot) and hold vol-down to enter fastboot
(the folowing i did at least 10 times already but didn't erase misc)
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase cache
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system c:\adb\TF300t\blob (this is my path - your's may vary depending where you stored your blob) ((also this was the first time i saw the loading bar while flashing)*
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
* it also took a lot longer, as it should:
C:\>fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system c:\adb\TF300t\blob
erasing 'system'...
OKAY [ 1.695s]
sending 'system' (800935 KB)...
OKAY [133.121s]
writing 'system'...
OKAY [153.973s]
finished. total time: 288.789s
im now setting my tab up to get back to CM (which initially caused this sh1theap due to autoupdate error, same as my A700 got bricked )
hope i could help you out!

Although I admit I had to these steps several times as it initially wouldn't somehow it wiped out that error. After I had fix that bootloader error I used fastboot and installed TWRP 2.6.3.1 and now life can continue.
I also followed steps right on getting CM11 to work by using CWM Touch this time to install and it looks jelly. ?! Love these 4.4 KitKat emoticons, thanks again for your help and interest in me ?

Buster99 deserves a medal or something for this post. Dozens of people have recovered from a brick using his method!
Glad you got it going!
Before I updated to 4.4.3 I was able to boot into TWRP by using the fastboot commands:
fastboot boot twrp.img
It would automatically reboot the phone into TWRP where I could flash SuperSU yet retain stock recovery.
Now when I attempt to do the very same thing on 4.4.3 I get:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.320s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.402s]
finished. total time: 1.722s
The phone reboots but instead of rebooting into TWRP it just reboots the entire system.
I'm using stock everything, S-off and Unlocked.
Any help is appreciated.

Why not just flash that recovery and then boot to it from the menu? Or you use flashify from within the Rom and change recoveries on the fly?

I know you got this resolved, but for future reference, your command should be: fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
You flashed the recovery as if it were a boot.img, which it's not.

I wanted to follow up on this. I've used his idea in the past on another htc device. I'd "fastboot boot <recovery>.img" and I could flash whole ROMs without touching the existing recovery. As soon as you reboot the old recovery is still there. His command wasn't an incorrect syntax for flashing a boot.img it was temporarily booting into a recovery. Is there any reason this wouldn't work nowadays?

Yeah I know that was possible in the past, to flash a rom using a recovery one time, without overwriting the current one.
As I've never seen any real need or purpose to doing that, I've never done it that way.
I do know that the other command is what should be used to actually overwrite and flash a new recovery for further use.
So I can't really answer as to whether that method still works or not.
Didn't sound like it did for him though.
Hello,
I think my XT1541 (16GB/2GB Retail GB) with locked bootloader might be hard-bricked.
I was running the stock 5.11 firmware when I did the 6.0 update and since then my phone is stuck in a bootloop.
Motorola won't repair it because I had to replace the screen and the phone is out of warranty.
I can access the bootloader but if I select recovery mode the phone just keeps bootlooping and I can't get into recovery.
I followed the instructions here to flash a stock firmware using fastboot. All the steps complete successfully but after rebooting, the phone is still stuck in a bootloop and I can't get into recovery.
I wanted to install a custom recovery but I'm unable to unlock my bootloader because of this error:
Code:
(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.
FAILED (remote failure)
Obviously I can't check that option as the phone won't boot.
So, is it hard bricked? Is there anything I can do to get my phone to work again?
Thanks a lot for your help!
How many system images do you need to flash? Sometimes there can be more than 6, sometimes there can be fewer.

If u are bootlooping when trying to enter recovery , then prolly the recovery is the issue. I'd suggest flash the recovery.IMG again and then proceed with flashing the rest of the .IMG files.

I tried that and it didn't work. When I try to go into recovery mode the phone keeps bootlooping.
One thing I noticed is that when I try to format cache or userdata I get this error:

Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw'.

man , if you really need recovery, type fastboot boot recovery.img . It will temporaily boot you into stock recovery. Wipe cache and data there

I was running 5.1.1 when I got the notification for the 6.0 update.
I've noticed that trying to flash 5.1.1 firmware with fastboot gives me errors (preflash validation failed) while the 6.0 work "fine" (i.e.: I get OKAY after every step but then the phone is always stuck in a bootloop).
Thanks!
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DOWNGRADE BOOTLOADER.IMG OR GPT.IMG !!!!!!! DONT FLASH LOLLIPOP VERSION OF THOSE FILES ON A DEVICE RUNNING 6.0
plz tell me u didnt flash those files..

Well I wasn't sure what version I was running to be honest so I think I tried to flash the gpt.img from 5.1.1 at some point but it failed with the preflash validation failure. I've always only flashed the 6.0 firmware files.

Bump!
Does anyone have any other suggestion please?
Thanks,
Last bump
I'm going to sell this on eBay as non-working then unless someone comes up with a clever solution?
Thanks for your help!
Try flashing once more starting with the gpt.bin (that should hopefully take care of raw partition error) and skipping the bootloader altogether. Also, may be worthwhile to try mfastboot.exe instead of fastboot.exe.
I have this same issue, but I haven't flash 5.1.1 Files, I Only tried with 6.0 Brazil Retail.
I also tried to flash gpt to get rid of the "raw" partition, everything goes ok but still displaying that error. Anyone can help?
I got the same problem with my Moto E 2015... If I find a solution I will reply it in this topic..
Hi I wonder if anyone can help me. My tf700 is running Zombi-Pop 5.1.1-OMNI-DEODEX RC2 . I may have wrecked my recovery and boot-loader. My Infinity is unlocked and rooted and had TWRP 2..7.00 or roughly that. In preparation for installing KatKiss 6.0.1 . I updated TWRP to [RECOVERY] KANG TWRP TF700T [email protected] JAN 4 from within TWRP and it completed ok. When I went to reboot into recovery I got a unable to boot error boot-image is unreadable X000000 or something like that, But I am able to boot the system which seems to be working OK. Does anyone know if the is anyway for me to re-flash a working recovery or am I stuck without a recovery? If anyone can help me with this I would much appreciate it.
Cheers Al-Man
ps. I have read loads of posts but I am still unsure as to what is the best course of action. I don't want to make it totally useless.
Your bootloader is fine or you would not be able to boot Android.
Kang TWRP 2.8.x is fine for any current rom so that is not the problem either.
Did you let the tablet reboot after the recovery flash? Sounds to me as if that was when things went south.
So fastboot flash the recovery, then reboot to system once before you try to boot into recovery.
If you don't know how to fastboot flash it's high time you learned it.

You could also use flashify or dd commands if you have root.

Thanks for your quick reply bernbib. I have tried to fastboot and load a new recovery image. I am able to see the device using the fastboot devices command. When I flash a new TWRP image it shows the following
twrp.img
sending 'recovery' (7038 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.801s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 2.541s]

I then try fastboot reboot and all I get is
rebooting......
on the boot loader screen it reads just under the boot version
Starting Fastboot USB download protocol this is constantly showing every time I boot to the boot loader.
and then I reboot from the tablet and its back to square one .
Any Help with this problem would be most appreciated I can still boot to system but I am not able to access recovery.
Many Thanks. Alex

I have seen many cases of "unrecoverable bootloader error" but never that you could still boot into system with that error. So I have no idea what is going on for you, but the only method I know of to successfully recover from a unrecoverable bootloader error is to flash the Asus system blob in fastboot after fastboot erasing each major partition. We call it a buster99 and you'll find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12
Before you do that why don't you try to 'fastboot boot recovery twrp.img' instead of flashing it. You should still be able to use TWRP as usual, flash a rom with it etc. It just does not get installed on the tablet....
See if you can use the recovery that way...

Buster99 has been a tablet saver for many users.
But if you don't want to do the whole thing try to fastboot erase recovery, cache and misc, then flash TWRP again and see if you can boot it.

To be clear im trying to bring back the old "boot loader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be guaranteed" boot message from the red one that says "Your device is corrupt. It can’t be trusted and may not work properly." Now I no this topic has already been on the forums but I read them, and made several attempts to fix the issue but was unsuccessful. every time I end up losing my all my **** and as soon as i upgrade to the latest pie ota it goes right back to the red boot message. One time I even hard bricked my phone and had to use the msmdownloadtool to get me back to hydrogen os and still the same thing happend when I upgraded to pie. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to fix this problem.
p.s. I know its not a "problem" really but its one of those things that’s been pestering me for over a month. thanks for your concern.
Did you use in-built updater or flashed pie via twrp?
If you flashed by twrp, you may need to flash twice for both a and b bootslots.
You may try to lock bootloader, use msm again then update pie.
After that try to unlock it may fix

Run "fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-3-enchilada.img" in command line https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117908950
then from within twrp flash twrp installer - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117908949
and magisk if you want root
