My phone is now stuck at the google logo and will not go past. After rooting and clockwork i was not able to load anything else but i would not boot.
Please help.. Thank You
seriously? there is like 4 threads on how to root it, and you go with one that you shouldnt.. lol
it had pictures.. lol
all the threads on here talk about specific phone models and i wasnt sure so i just went with it... Bad choice on my part..
hopefully someone can help
load up fastboot and try to get to recovery if you can then awesome.. try wiping everything and see if that fixes anything
Pull the battery, hold volume up and power and follow this post to get into recovery. Then like shabby penguin said, when you get into recovery wipe everything and you should be good to go. Again, the post I linked you to is the proper way to root the 4g...

Oh, guess I didnt catch that.
ok your best bet it to go into fastboot and flash the clockworkmod 3.0.2.4
did you do the oem unlock command?
yeah i did the oem unlock.
ok well assuming you followed the directions from this guy, then you have a diff bootimg on there i can toss a few files that may fix it, but no garuntees...
seriously tho
(You should see that “LOCK STATE” says “UNLOCKED”, meaning your Nexus S is rooted.)

is posted on his site.. that would be a good indicator to me to stop listening to anything he said.. he then later in the comments was trying to help someone and told them if usb wasnt working then use a microsd adapter to put the files on..
yeah i am kicking my self in the a$$. Is there anyway do just get it back to stock?
well have you tried flashing a kernel? if it gets to bootani then its usually rom erros, freezing at spalsh screens is generally kernel images
is it possible to load a kernel when i cant see the phones memory from the computer???
someone has to have some idea of to fix this...
just got me to stock unrooted phone.. please
yes, download this
boot into fastboot and type in fastboot flash boot /path/to/natarchy.img
replace /path/to with where its located.. this should get you rollin again
thank you... thank you... thank you!!!!!!!!
i have learned my lesson and i wont stray from the xda forum next time.
Again thank you
I have a similiar issue as OP...I tried to flash netarchy kernel with kernal manager and then phone rebooted and got stuck at google logo.
I have installed SDK...google drivers, but when I try to flash the kernel I get waiting for device in command prompt. Same error when I type "fastboot oem unlock"
Any ideas?

Waiting for device means Windows does not recognize phone. Reinstall drivers.
ok sounds like a driver issue, i used pdanet to install the drivers i needed. try fastboot devices, if it doesnt show anything then your phone isnt connected
Ok used my mac and was able to get cwm recovery on device. I could mount it. Now how can I flash back to stock. I9020A att 3G version. Booting now I see google and a lock.
Thanks everyone!
Hello All,
I have run into a problem with my Heroc not wanting to boot. Some background:
ROM: CM7
Kernal: Jaybob's recent Kernal
Mods: Firerats
All was fine and dandy until yesterday, when I decided to reboot the phone (with a full battery charge). The phone shutoff and when restarted was stuck at the HTC screen. I've tried several times to get into recovery but it hangs at the HTC Screen.
I can enter Fastboot/Hboot. I did some digging and tried to unroot by using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988741
Method 1, loading the imaging on the sd root and loading. Everything loaded fine but when I reboot it still hangs at the HTC screen. I have not tried to RUU being that I am on a Mac and don't have access to a PC at the moment. So RUU will be done later tonight hopefully, but I don't expect different results.
It seems like I have some messed up memory and its not allowing me to boot. Does anyone know of a fix? I'm not desperate because its time for an upgrade. I just wanted to hold off on using it until January when Sprint holds their press conference, assuming its an Android device. I'd like to see what I could get versus the phones on the market now.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance

You definitely need to do an RUU. No way around it. know it sucks starting fresh again but it'll solve all these problems you have. If your s-off you can also do the RUU from Hboot but it's better to do it from PC as I have learned. Good luck man.
thanks a lot! om going to give it a try later tonight when i have access to a pc. Im not so much worried about starting fresh than I am losing the phone and using my upgrade now... I have a curve laying around and started to thing about using that for a while until I see something I like.
i will report back tonight or tomorrow when i am up and running again.
I had the same problem awhile back and it took me forever to get it fixed but I finally got it fixed. Search the forum for " stuck at HTC screen and look for the threads I started for as possible fix. I will try to find it and post the link here.

Thanks. I will give it a look.
I read through the thread and it looks like you passed the black htc screen and got to the white one. I can't get passed the black and adb doesn't pick up the phone at this point. I'm still waiting to try the RUU and see if HTC sync picks up the device.
Very resourceful thread and I'll be sure to give all the suggestions a try before giving up.
HTC sync won't pick up the device and I don't think any other option will work since I don't have ADB access. I'm just gonna bite the bullet and look into a replacement.
Ok to verify your phone does boot at least to the bootloader? If so I have a doffeemr approach for you to take

i had same kinda deal from a bad radio flash
if you still have fastboot do
"fastboot erase system -w"
"fastboot oem boot heroc.hboot-1.46.2000.zip"
you may need to rename the file to HBOOT.
if that dose not work unzip the file take the hboot img and place on sdcard and place where your fastboot files are like in android/platform-tools.
this made a deference for me.
then try fastboot flash img hboot.img
this is what i went through here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086125
good luck if i can help let me know.
Thanks for the help oostah. I haven't been able to get ADB to recognize the device. When I get home I'll try it again and remove the hboot as suggested and give that a try.
Now that ICS is in beta for the Heroc my phone decides to crap out on me and I can't enjoy the hard work put in by the developers. Nonetheless, I am much appreciative of all the support put into the Heroc and have learned a lot from this community
I'll report back tonight with my results.

you are welcome i have been there before.
your phone may not recognize ADB but it may still take fastboot commands. that was one thing that drove me crazy is that i could fastboot but not adb. let us all know how it goes.
I did "fastboot-mac devices" and got my device to show up, so it registered. however, when I go to erase system I get an error, "remote: not allowed". The same occurred when trying to flash the .zip and img files separately as suggested . At one point the devices started vibrating like crazy and shut off, the led started to blink green. I did get it back into Fastboot, but now it won't turn on.
Thanks for the help though It was already replaced and the new phone should be here tomorrow. I'm just going to miss the Hero since it was my first Android device and I learned a lot in this forum.
Thanks!

i still have one of my hero's that i let people play with when the come over. it still runs off wifi so they can play games yous gtalk what ever be nice to get it up and running for experience and fun lol now that your not in a have to mode.
do you have a nan back up from a sd card any place like on your pc if so look for your clockworkmod folder look for backups and you should see your backups open one of them you will see
boot
system
data
recovery
sd-ext
cache
they will be img files you can place them on your sd card and fastboot them back to the phone
"fastboot flash img boot.img"
"fastboot flash img system.img"
and so on
or
"fastboot boot img boot.img"
"fastboot boot img system.img"
and so on
or you can let it RIP
good to know. I'll give that a try if I can get it booted. I'm thinking its dead and needs a charge to get back into fastboot. I'd love to get it back up and running as a learning experience more than anything. I wont have time until tomorrow or Thursday . I will report back when I give it a try.

Hey guys let me start by saying I have done quite a bit of searching and im not a total noob when it comes to this stuff. I have still been unable to find an answer to my questions...
So basically I have a Droid 2 and I flashed the CM9 ICS Alpha onto it had it running great (Cant wait to get past alpha ) But due to the fact that its an alpha and really nothing works I wanted to go back to my librity rom... I tried to boot into recovery and that caused a boot loop instead of booting into recovery.
So from there I went to flash the stock SBF onto the phone and it keeps just getting stuck in a boot loop even when flashing the stock SBF. What have I done! lol How do I get this thing back to a factory setup?
I would really like to figure this out but if I cant I will be putting another mobo in it as that may be the easier solution haha
Thanks for taking the time to help me with this and if you know somewhere this has already been discussed please direct me to it as I could not find it...
Nevermind lol
I was able to get it to boot by booting into recovery and running the factory reset. But I had already tried that once before posting this and it had not worked...
Well anyway all is good for me now maybe this will help someone eventually have a great day.
Dear guys,
due to problems within this morning, i restarted my phone to wipe dalvik/cache.
But it occured that TWRP somehowe needs to have a password (which i didn't ever set though).
Didn't boot up at all now. Even with toolkit no chance to do anything with the device.
Any further suggestions/ideas?
Try flashing the factory image without using a tool kit. Google nexus 4 factory image. Download it to your pc and extract it. Run the flash-all.bat you'll find in there.

Some Partitions of the phone have got some bad blocks causing it to act in such a way !! Seems RMA(if available) is the best recourse since there is no definative solution to this problem !! You can try hard reboot as well as someone once pointed out that his n4 magically restored during it but others dint have that much of luck !! Also u could give LGNPST a try but since that also writes the partition it is highly unlikely to get you through !! One Solution I know will surely work is Qualcomm PST using the HighSpeed USB Device . But unfortunately we need an expert help, probably a Qualcomm employee to get in touch with since the tool has still not been cracked by anyone for n4 though I read somewhere that someone was able to restore using QPST !! Also mostly a JTAG Repair can help you but thats a rip off !! I'll anyday prefer a official LG/Google Repair over a JTAG !!
Hope you find my post useful !!
THanks Guys,
JD5, it didn't work.
Corresponding to Nabendu's post i guess it is the issue mentioned here.

I was afraid of that. Try one thing. Relock the bootloader, fastboot oem lock, then re-boot and see if the bootloader locks. If it doesn't, and it probably won't, then rma is your option.
Edit, haha, I just read that thread you posted and they tried the same thing

i was already trying that. at first it seems that the bootloader got locked again but right after restart it is already unlocked again.
I guess RMA will cause problems due to the fact that it was a rooted Nexus, using a custom rom.

Google seems to have been pretty good with rma's when it's a hardware failure. Pretty sure your emmc is borked. But you never know until you send it in. Hopefully there won't be a problem.

Ok I'll give it a try on monday. But as far as i know, i'll need to call them first.
I could imagine that they'll try to let me wipe my data or give me any kind of instructions to see if they can resolve the problem right away? What do i tell them?
At latest when they'll lead me to the recovery i'll get stuck using TWRP at latest.
Any kind of conversation dialogue i can follow up?
Let's try one more thing, inside the factory image is a zip file, extract that. In there is recovery.img. Put that file in the same folder as fastboot.exe. In fastboot try fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If it works it'll put the stock recovery on.

Nope, same issue " flash write failure"
I can't get any kind o access...
But don't leave any more thoughts on it. Won't work though, i won't want to bother you all the time

It won't let you flash that either to the best of my knowledge !! Just don't tell those operators that you have unlocked your bootloader and have a custom recovery !! Basically they won't tell u to go into stock recovery !! They'll just ask you hard reset the phone using physical keys !! Bdw check my pm !!

Np, not sure what to tell them. It still boots I assume so you can't tell them it won't boot. I guess just the truth, it is a developer phone after all so it should be flashable

This is my first post on XDA and i am in desperate need of help. I own a Asus Zenfone 6. Recently i tried unlocking bootloader and installing TWRP recovery so that i can flash a custom ROM. It went horribly wrong and i bricked my device. I managed to unbrick it and revert to Stock ROM which i also upgraded to LOLIPOP using adb sideload. I also managed to root it and have super user access. The problem is that i cannot install a TWRP or any other recovery. When i try to install a custom recovery i get and error " cannot install unsigned image on secure device" which probably suggests that the boot loader is locked. I ran the commands to unlock the boot loader and they ran successfully but i am not sure if the bootloader is locked or unlocked.
I tried running fastboot oem devices but i get an error " Unknown Oem command".
It was after hours of troubleshooting that i decided that i am OK with stock LOLIPOP rom as long as i have a rooted device. It was after sometime that i noticed that the camera wasn't working. Also the flashlight wasn't working. I uninstalled the updates and flashlight was working. However the camera just gives me a black screen for some time after which it quits with an error message " Camera is used by another application. Please reboot your device and try again". I uninstalled the updates for Camera and reverted to a previous version by also removing the camera application using super user access. However for an older version i get an error " Camera not found". I have also tried installing other camera applications but none seem to work even after making them a part of system. Currently flashlight works but only under an older version , as soon as i update it stops working. I decided to lock the boot loader again as it was just not worth it. However after running the commands and locking the bootloader i still cannot get the camera to work. I tried in safe mode and the camera won't work there either.
When i go to recovery i just have four options, there is no install from internal storage or SD card which suggests i am on stock recovery.
Currently i just want my camera to work. I am OK with the stock ROM and recovery as long as i have a rooted device. I have spent hours researching and nothing seems to work. I am in desperate need of help. Some of the friends suggested to try my luck here. I would be indebted as i dont want to purchase another device just because i screwed my camera. Also when i was under kitkat i ran the SIMI test and was getting an error 1667 and 1668 for both cameras. The test is failing under LOLIPOP as well. I dont think its a hardware issue or maybe i am wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Not even a single reply. DISAPPOINTED!
You need to Lock Bootloader then reflash the rom (wipe all) to fix it. Custom ROMs sometimes cause camera not working cuz there are some devices that have different camera.... Next time, just make sure you Lock Bootloader => Flash Stock recovery => Wipe => Flash Stock ROM

But yeah that sounds like a roller coaster.
Just picked up the Zenfone 6 to see what I could do with it, I'm going to try to flash the RR rom on here.
Just something I noticed though, I did some research myself, and a couple of sites like this one (https://zenfones.gajetzki.com/) say that you should root your original stock before doing anything. Now this wasn't a requirement at all in my experience for all other phones so I'm a bit skeptical. Anyway I thought that may help in some way.
Good luck!

Sorry for the late reply, but I'll try to help as much as I can. First things first, I know there are two different models of the Zenfone 6, the A600CG and the A601CG, but apparently this shouldn't make a difference, but it could have in this case, after all they must have different names for a reason. Also, the support for the Zenfone 6 is pretty terrible in terms of custom roms and the such, so you may even be better off with the stock experience, just root it and you'll have all the functionality you could ever dream of.
If you're still keen for the custom roms and stuff maybe check out this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/general/recovery-twrp-2-8-6-0-asus-zenfone-5-t3136263
Other than that, I guess Google is your friend, but so are we!
I haven't been able to hold onto my Zenfone 6, as it was a friends, so I no longer have it and never got the opportunity to have some fun with it, so I'm just going off my own experience with my HTC One M9, which is probably vastly different, but I suppose the process isn't too different. Nonetheless, I hope all goes well!
