Thanks to a Jappanase blog i was able to unbrick my tablet and install CM 13.0 without have a funcrional rom: {Mod edit}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to solve:
1_ Download the following zips in a folder
Code:
[URL="https://vasy.ru/TWRP/P024/"]https://vasy.ru/TWRP/P024/[/URL] TWRP
[URL="http://4pda.ru/pages/go/?u=http%3A%2...zip&e=48313529"]http://4pda.ru/pages/go/?u=http%3A%2...zip&e=48313529[/URL] CM 13.0
[URL="http://opengapps.org/?download=true&arch=arm&api=6.0&variant=pico"]http://opengapps.org/?download=true&arch=arm&api=6.0&variant=pico[/URL] G APPS
[URL="http://d-h.st/8FqR#"]http://d-h.st/8FqR#[/URL] ADB and other utilities . Thanks to @backwardastep
2_ Move CM 13.0 and G APPS in a sd card and insert it into the tablet
3_ Unzip z380klroot_w_xposed
4_ move the TWRP.img in the "z380klroot_w_xposed" folder
5_ open cmd on Windows and move in the z380klroot folder. Type:
Code:
cd C:\Users\XXX\Desktop\z380klroot_w_xposed
6_ Connect the tablet
7_ Then type:
Code:
fastboot boot twrpxx.xx.xx.img
the tablet will start to looking for a device
8_ Press power + "volume +" in order to put the tablet in recovery (you can also put the tablet in recovery mode before the point 7)
9_ Then it should boot a temporany TWRP
10_ From TWRP wipe all data and install first CM 13.0 and GAPPS as usual
Now you have a working CM 13.0
PS. i noted in the Andmen blog's that exist also an Resurrection Remix

You cannot flash the stock rom from twrp.
Stock roms work only with stock recovery

So I would have to reflash the stock recovery and use that to flash stock? If I use ASUS's FlashTool would that reset everything back to stock?

1. yes, you should flash before the stock recovery and then the stock rom
2. I don't know, i have never used asus flash tool, but i think that you should have anyway the stock recovery file
Again, i repeat, if someone know how copy the stock recovery, i can do it. My tablet have still the stock one and i could copy and post here !

Do you have a link to the stock recovery @bangdes?
Edit: I flashed this (https://www.asus.com/zentalk/tw/thread-147621-3-1.html) and now I just get an ASUS logo that eventually goes to the "Powered by Android" screen. Gonna try flashing stock now.
Edit 2: Gave me an error 7. Gonna try charging it up and flashing it again while I research what's up.
Edit 3: tried booting TWRP over stock recovery and adb sideloading it. finished saying total xfer: 1.09x and booted me to a black screen once I tried rebooting (TWRP gave me a No OS warning) saying it couldn't find drivers for Qualcomm HD-9008. ****, I think I just hard bricked my tablet yet again. Rebooted into driver signature disabled mode and it says "unknown device". Can't even turn off the damn thing.

my z380kl is latest (2016) version and cannot enter to recovery stock, or maybe the stock recovery doesn't exist.. it's weird

Ok, lil update. Found out a potential unbricking method:
{Mod edit}
Also this thread is just dedicated to this brick: {Mod edit}}
And here's a few others who have the same issue: {Mod edit}
According to a guy who natively speaks Russian, this is a hardbrick that can't be repaired without sending it in to the OEM.
Kinda wish I had a little birdie that could fly into the ASUS office (I've been there, actually pretty nice. Lounge chairs with tablets and phones on display to play with while you wait, and a TV that was playing Finding Nemo in Chinese. Plus staff was nice enough, I just played dumb about what happened lol) and just tell me what exactly I can do to fix this. Even worse, the one year warranty is almost up so I'm gonna have to fork over cash if I send it in to be repaired AGAIN. This makes me want to send this tablet off to repair and sell it off for a NVIDIA Shield or something, Jesus. I got burned by Asus with the ZF2 and yet I still fell into this trap. Same with Samsung, I guess I'm just a masochist or something. Anyways, currently juggling fixing/rooting my S7 along with school work, so it'll be a few days or so until I can start experimenting with this. On a sidenote, damn the OPO is good. Still flies after three years of daily usage

I apologize if it looks like a spam, I am just suggesting that you should at least try to restore the stock system partition before trying to flash stock rom using TWRP as it does not work with the custom ROM system partition. As far as I have tried I couldn't boot into stock recovery, maybe it doesn't have one on my model. I can only boot into fastboot.
Best bet is to try to boot into custom recovery and restore the stock system partition from a backup file and then flash the stock rom and see whether it works.

I'd recommend flashify to flash recovery images. You can download it from the play store. So easy to make a typo and mess things up with adb and dd.
You could do it with a terminal or adb shell. Say you store the image in /sdcard
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
Verify mmcblk0p14 is recovery before you try this. I'm pretty sure that's right, but I don't have my tablet right now and you can make a serious mess of your device this way if you overwrite the wrong partition. Check it by listing your partitions with this:
Code:
su
ls -al /dev/block/platform/*/by-name
By default this little tablet does not have fastboot, but you can enable it with this method. I've zeroed out my laf partition and verified I can boot into fastboot mode, but I've never actually used it to flash anything. It just seemed like a good idea to have fastboot available to fall back on rather than LG download mode since there was no kdz available for the V410 for a long time.

Thank you! the thing is i bricked my g pad, i really dont know much about the tab because the lack of support it has. I was using it with cm12.1 and i use a stock recovery founded in Android central to revert back to stock, but in TWRP i flashed the img as recovery and also as boot, so the g pad entered in a bootloop were only enters in stock recovery, my Windows 10 laptop doesn't recognize the tab when in adb sideload, and doesn't know much about adb Shell, i'm following the comandas you wrote but i'm always getting error: closed.
i know how to get back to stock using the kdz, but using the kdz will make the partition issue and will have to folllow a looong looong process.
If you could give me a hand with this i would really apprecciate it
Sorry I've never encountered the adb closed problem myself, but I have heard about it before. Some people have reported the following series of commands fixes it:
Code:
adb usb
adb devices
adb kill-server
adb start-server
The first two commands normally don't really do anything and its pretty obvious what the second two do, but some people have reported success doing this.
Some people have reported the closed error was fixed by updating their adb binary. If you're using the android-sdk update platform-tools, or if you're using a standalone adb consider looking for an update for it.
Good luck. That procedure to get things back to normal following using the kdz to restore sounds messy.

I flashed stock rooted 4.4.2, and I want to OTA to Stock Lollipop, but it says there is no update. Any ideas of how I can get back to fully stock? Would flashing this stock recovery make it work? Is being rooted blocking the OTA update from seeing an available update?

If you applied an OTA with a custom recovery installed it might soft brick your tablet, but I don't see why that would stop it from detecting and downloading the update. It is always safest to flash stock recovery, fully unroot, and undo any modifications you've made to /system before taking an OTA, but some devices are more picky than others. With what you're describing I'm afraid that even if you do unroot and flash stock recovery your tablet still won't find the OTA.
Do you have a nandroid backup of an unmodified stock ROM you could restore?
And just so you know that lollipop bootloader is not vulnerable to the bump exploit, so no custom recovery or ROMs if you get it to apply.
Whenever I type "reboot recovery" in terminal emulator, it boots straight to factory reset. I have tried this multiple times with both dd and flashify. Do you know what causes this? I'm downloading the OTA right now, I hope it doesn't wipe then too...
please help
i was a dumbass and accidently flashed my boot instead of recovery do you by chance have a boot.img that i can use to reflash my boot.img please help as im really stuck..thanks in advance

Download the timmytim stock ROM, and extract the boot.img from it. There are probably quicker ways, but having the stock ROM on hand is a good idea.

I resolved my issue i had forgotten in my haste i posted the same question in two different sections. However after fixing everything my tablet was broke not the out glass but the inner display. I cant afford another one or a replacement part to even fix mine. So unless i can find one someone who bricked theirs completely or get a handme down im tabless for awhile.... Thank you though for the reply. The original boot file wouldnt work properly i had to use the boot file from the stock rooted rom and not the timmytim deoxedized rom.. i dont know why unless the bootfile is specific to each rom. Maybe i did something wromg during the flash. But i had gotten it fixed nevertheless.

Nexus 10 does not boot after Update

After attempt at installing software update to Nexus 10 tablet will not boot. Have wiped Cache and even then did a factory reset. Nothing. Google appears and then twirling colorful dots and nothing. For hours just twirling dots., Samsung and Google and Best Buy geeks says nothing they can do. No longer under warranty but very upset since tablet was working great until update. I am not very tech savvy but can anyone help or do I just have a new paperweight? Thanks for any advice.
I have not made any modifications to the tablet.
Just flash the newest factory image. Get it and the instructions to flash it from here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
yes flash the newest image
After getting a notification of the latest update I went and rebooted for the update to install but it went to the twrp recovery and nothing happens, is there a way to install the update?

I rooted my nexus 10 using xda instructions., installed CWM. All good. I tried backup and recovery and screwed something up in recovery. Got stuck in recovery mode reboot loop. Many gyrations, no fix, so I tried factory reset. Still no fix.
I decided to install a new version of the OS using the Mantaray tar you reference above. UBS connecting and fastboot. All messages look good. Now I have the problem reported in this thread. Stuck with flying balls and no boot. Very interested in any suggestions you may have.

So you keep just boot looping into twrp, right ?
Did you try installing a custom ROM through adb or just connecting your device?
If it keeps boot looping you gotta to wipe the full storage.

No, on a normal reboot or a shutdown/restart it's fine no problems there but when I try to install the update via system update it reboots into twrp. I attach a pic of my system.

Oh I see, well, you should just flash a custom ROM or if you want to stay with official factory images, you should just follow instruction there:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
What you do need is just have fastboot executable once you are into the bootloader.
You can easily access the bootloader from twrp : shutdown > reboot into booatloader
Cool thx for your continued help :good:
The problem is due to your attempting an OTA update with a custom recovery (TWRP). You can only do OTA with stock recovery. Once you are in this situation, your easiest way out of it is to simply apply the latest factory image using "fastboot", but this will also wipe your user data so backup any photos, music, etc. before you start. You will also have to reload programs from Playstore once the new image is installed.

Is this brick a hardware fault or software issue?

I was flashing a cm13 rom on top of my cm12.1 rom when I opened the camera and it soft rebooted, I powered it down mid reboot and now I can only access fastboot, or sometimes it will flash the oneplus logo over and over again. (Video below) I tried this method here (http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-quickly-unbrick-oneplus-2-oxygen-os-2-0-1516574) but it still does the same oneplus logo flashing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0t8BN6bZDo
How can I fix this or is it a hardware brick?
You have fast boot its not hard bricked.
You're in a bootloop, enter recovery press power+vol down wipes and flash again cm13

Check this. You should wait after staring the process in Chinese Application. It installs HydrogenOS recovery, so you need to install HydrogenOS via sideload. Then download OxygenOS and flash via HydrogenOS recovery.

@krishna442 - Just FYI, OnePlus2 Stock Reset is probably a better option now as it's based on the files OnePlus support use now.

[HELP] Moto G PLus 4 booting only in recovery, not system

Hi,
I just unlocked the bootloader of my Moto G Plus 4 via adb, and after that I switched it on, it worked fine and I transferred SuperUser.zip into my phone's internal memory, and then tried to flash it through recovery, (following the sleps I read somewhere), since then my phone is not rebooting - it is rebooting into bootloader and I can enter recovery as well, but Im not able to reboot my phone. The device is being detected via adb when it is in recovery mode, but not in bootloader. Is this issue fixable? Please help me fix this.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, I'm not getting the boot animation as well. I press the power key and nothing at all happens.

You got into bootloop, just download the stock ROM and then flash it again, follow any guide over XDA or see YouTube for more help. Flash ROM without locking bootloader will be good.

Yes that is what happen after unlocking Boot loader, just flash the stock ROM using any tutorial over XDA without locking the boot loader and then follow the proper instructions to root your mobile. Rooting is very easy on Android N. So I will say flash android N and then proceed.

First thing, your query doesn't belong to the development thread. It should had been created in "Questions and Answers"
Second thing, if you flash supersu on stock rom it won't boot due some security measures of Moto. Instead flash ElementalX kernel first and then flash supersu.

If you have some confusion about flashing, be sure to check it out before going on. I believe you have some knowledge about fastboot and using it.

First thing, your query doesn't belong to the development thread. It should had been created in "Questions and Answers"
Second thing, if you flash supersu on stock rom it won't boot due some security measures of Moto. Instead flash ElementalX kernel first and then flash supersu.

i'm really sorry about posting in wrong thread.
While trying to flash ElementalX kernel through memory card, I'm getting error: Zip signature verification failed, (in red).

Last time I used fastboot was more than one year ago. Also, my device is not being detected by adb when in bootloader.

DO you mind posting the link to the proper article, since phone is not being detected via adb as well.

You can try one thing if you have twrp and your phone is booting into recovery then do this.
Download any custom rom based on Android N, don't go with RR for now as it is not for newbie cause new build has some issue while flashing.
Download the gapps recommend the opengapps Nano package from the opengapps.org.
Place both zip on your sd card and boot into recovery and then wipe everything like, system, dalvik cache, cache, system and then install the both zip, first rom and then install gapps. Then reboot. I hope it will fix the bootloop issue.

What did you mean by your device not being detected in bootloader mode. Did you install the right drivers. Did you install minimal adb and fastboot. Can you do the below steps and tell me the result.
1. Download the drivers from here.
For Windows: http://www.devfiles.co/download/5eEx...ager_2.5.4.exe
2. Download the Minimal ADB and Fastboot = https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120698566
3. Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot = https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2317790
4. Restart the Moto G4 in fastboot mode. (Bootloader mode)
5. Connect the Phone to the computer.
6. In adb fastboot folder shift+right click and then in the pop up click "open command window here"
7. In the command line type: "fastboot devices"
Seeing your serial number means we know all is good and your phone is connected and you can go on flash the stock firmware. If the serial number is not showing, the drivers are not properly installed.

I thought he don't have TWRP installed. If TWRP is installed, then go on with what he said. That is the best solution for you. :good:

I tried the same, but the flashing process is stuck on "Patching system image unconditionally..." I tried two different ROMs, and in both cases, it is stuck in the same step

Try with wiping everything, wipe system and internal storage as well, I know your important data will be gone but it will be worth a try. If anything comes up let us know, also what have you tried so far tell us in details so we don't repeat it over and over, also in above post some links are provided try them.

Try with other pc or change the port for data cable. It seems your system partition got corrupted, also you can mount system partition under twrp and then try to format it.

When in TWRP, go to Mount and see if system is ticked or not. If not, mount the system and wipe it. Then flash the rom again. BTW which TWRP version are you using. From where you get it.

So that is the problem. You have to install TWRP latest version. Version 3.0.2 r4 or higher by shreps will work for you. You can find it here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...covery-twrp-3-0-2-r3-moto-g4-g4-plus-t3494337
The latest version is 3.0.3 n4. Flash it, mount the system and everything will be good for you

As @nazim7 suggested you to flash the latest TWRP and then try to flash the rom again, also you can try to resize the partition and try to format it from twrp from the option in twrp. Just let us know what the result come back.

There's one more problem like I've mentioned previously. I have the latest drivers even then the device is not being detected via adb when in bootloader, but as soon as I boot into recovery, the device shows up on adb after command. How do I flash the recovery if the device doesn't show up in bootloader on adb?

LG G3 [D855] Custom Recovery And Rom Flashing

I have went through many tutorials but none of them were able to help me with flashing custom recovery(TWRP). My LG G3 D855 was rooted with towelroot(I think long time ago). I do not know how can I unlock my bootloader or I don't know if it is already unlocked(Picked it off craiglist long time ago). Phone is stuck in fastboot mode. I have tried to fix but I could not. There is no 'download mode'.
Could you please explain each and every step in detail? I really want to reboot my device with a custom ROM.
Phone is running Androind 4.4.2.
So guys? Any help? Just tell me how can I remove that fastboot mode that appears when I restart my device for recovery.

Have you flashed TWRP already?
I have a an D855, I don't think you have to worry about a locked bootloader Mate,
but it was a long time since I got rid of the LG crap, because it was the first thing I did after buying new!
You're on 4.4.2 with towel root so it should very simple to download and flash TWRP using the official TWRP app in Playstore or using an app like Flashify etc.
I basically lost my S7 Edge a week ago so I'm back using my old LG G3 now running Resurrection Remix 5.8(Nougat 7.1.2. AOSP based)
If you wanna run anything using Aroma installer then don't go later than TWRP 3.0.0. for now, because the newer versions don't work.
Either download the Quickboot app to boot to recovery or search on Youtube on how to boot to recovery from off..

The problem is, there is no recovery. Even though flashing TWRP via flashify resulted in nothing but an error showing "Fastboot mode started" when I tapped on option named "Reboot to recovery". This is the main problem I am facing. I can flash, upgrade/downgrade and etc but this fastboot mode thing is something beyond what I can fix with my current knowledge.

Maybe first flash back stock, update to the latest firmware and start fresh from there?
There are some good guides in the forums here for that.

If you've to go back to firmware, don't install the newest. Rooting needs an older version. Also described in root-threads here.
