Hi so I was installing a new rom, that twrp was having problems installing, so I had wiped the system already, I tried to update twrp to the newest version, and now it's stuck on the nvidia logo, the next problem is I can't get it to go into fastboot, I think years ago I had Installed a custom bootloader, when I try to enter fastboot it just goes back to the bootloader menu
Any possible fix or is it actually bricked?
edit the bootloader is nvtboot?
ok so i had to update the "android" drivers in device manager for fastboot, Not ADB. managed to flash recovery and a image. if anyone else has the same problem

So I tried to flash Magnolia X 1.0 coming from MIUI. After I wiped from MIUI and tried to install Magnolia I got an error. No big deal right? So I figured I would reboot recovery ( clockwork mod ) and try again, if it didn't work I could restore MIUI. When I hit reboot recovery I got stuck in a bootloop, from white htc screen to off. It just looks like it is trying to get to recovery but it is not loading it for some reason. So I decided to boot it into hboot and reflash the recovery, or possibly flash twrp. Now my problem is that the computer is not recognizing the phone, so none of my fastboot or adb commands do anything I just get <waiting for device>. Any ideas?
So right after I made the post I was able to get the drivers to reinstall and was able to re flash the recovery. Tried both CWM and TWRP and neither will boot. With TWRP I can get to the recovery splash screen but then it just goes black. Downloading the RUU now and I am going to try to flash that through the bootloader. Other than that I have no othe ideas...anyone else have any?
Got it...had to relock bootloader and run ruu then extract the stock recovery and flash it. Rebooted into recovery let it sit, then it rebooted back to the bootloader. Re-unlocked bootloader then flashed TWRP and it worked fine. Back up and running again.
Hello,
I wanted to give my TF700T CM11 today and flashed the newest bootloader, then CWM. I rebooted inbetween. However, after installing CM11, it got a bootloop. I installed TWRP after this.
Now, I cannot access TWRP, Fastboot doesn't seem to recognize and CM is still stuck in a bootloop.
I'm not certain how to advance now, since I don't want to damage or brick the tablet. ASUS_ADB_Drivers are installed.
You may have bricked it already...
If you cannot get into fastboot or recovery and you do not have your NVFlash blobs squared away, you are dead in the water.
Sorry.
Backstory: I tried to load Cyanogenmod on my phone; but first I had to load TWRP recovery in order to get to load it. This is where the issue came; I decided to go the easy route and attempted to install it through Flashify (an app on the Google Play store); upon restarting my phone; it was bricked. I went into EVERYTHING, when I tried to go into recovery it would just send me through the bootloop and then send me to AP Fastboot.
Confused, I called Motorola; and was notified and Flashify had removed my prevoius recovery and failed to but TWRP resulting in this.
Issue: So what I did is I got the CWM recovery specific for my phone (XT926) and went into ADB fastboot and typed "fastboot flash cwm.img", from my ADB folder of course. Then when I booted into recovery, nothing happened; it would just send me through the bootloop again. Please help.

Try another recovery / another version. Did the trick for me and you have nothing to lose
I have 2 XT925s. I bricked one to the point that I could boot to fastboot but could not even get into stock recovery. I was running stock 4.4.2.
I did the following.
I got the DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility_1.41. I used the TWRP 2.7.1.0 in that utility specifically for XT925.
I used fastboot to manually flash TWRP into the recovery partition.
DO NOT reboot past boot menu. Right after flashing, boot into recovery. That should give you TWRP.
I used TWRP to Install CM11 snapshot. I had to manually flash into the modem partition, the modem file also obtained from the above utility. You will need to flash in gapps for 4.4.2.
That recovered the bricked phone.
Of note, I was able to flash TWRP in the other phone. Backed it up. Transfered the backed up OEM ROM into the phone running CM. And get it to run stock ROM.
I now have one running CM11, and one running stock 4.4.2. I'm just comparing battery life. I've noticed CM11 has a smaller memory footprint than stock 4.4.2.
Cheers
did not work for me anywhere to be found stock 4.4.2 recovery img for 926?
So, I think I really screwed up. After I finally got my bootloader unlocked, (after some trouble) I tried using Kingroot with no luck. And me being the eager beaver that I am, I attempted installing TWRP in Flashtool with the "Select system to Flash" option. Now I'm stuck with a big fat "SONY" on a white background.
Whenever I tried installing TWRP with "fastboot flash recovery TWRP-3.0.2-4-kagura" I'm stuck with < waiting for device >. That's why I tried flashing through Flashtool.
I'm on F8331.
Any help would be much appreciated.
EDIT: I got TWRP working, and I'm able to boot into it. Now I'm guessing all I have to do is install SuperSU, and maybe flash a custom ROM?
Hi, are you tried with Flashtool with an Marshmallow firmware?, when I bricked my phone (F8332) the only solution was this.

First of all reflash you firmware using flashtool, reflash the twrp recovery that corresponds to your firmware then flash the supported androplus kernel for your firmware. After all the steps above access the recovery and try to flashing the latest supersu available. Your very welcome.
I ended up just flashing XplayZtation.
Hi All,
I've been trying to install TWRP, Root etc on my XZP since yesterday. I've done something wrong at some point, and now my phone will not boot at all.
I had no troubles unlocking bootloader, installing TWRP etc initially. I then tried to install a custom rom from these forums and that's where things spiraled downwards for me.
As part of that procedure, I needed to flash the latest sony firmware first. That went fine.
However, now TWRP is not able to decrypt storage, so I'm not able to flash anything else. Perhaps this is because I booted into the new sony firmware and forgot change the pattern/fingerprint to pin/fingerprint.
So I'm not able to unlock the storage via TWRP by entering a password.
I tried to reflash the same firmware again using newflasher. But the phone won't boot at all. It turns off immediately after the Unlocked bootloader warning. It's not going into a boot loop. Just turns off.
I then tried to flash the TWRP recovery image using adb fastboot command, and the flash seemed to execute properly, but I still can not boot into recovery.
Is it possible the main storage is still encrypted, so nothing can flash to it? Bricked? If so, how do I proceed?
I read something about reformatting partitions? But I'm not able to get into TWRP recovery menu to do this.
*EDIT: I reflashed trwp recovery image, and am not able to boot into recovery. I still can not unlock (unencrypt) the main storage though.
*2nd EDIT: I followed the instructions here:https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/how-to-fix-unable-to-mount-data-t3830897
I was then able to flash the stock ROM back onto my device, and I'm able to boot my phone up. I'll look at installing a custom ROM at a later date.
