INSTALL BACKUP!
Or 1. Try pull battery. Or 2. Install again. Or 3. Fastboot.

If you have a copy of the old ROM, why not reinstall?
For fastboot, sorry, but looking for a tutorial.

Sometimes certain roms do not properly either clean up the cache and dalvik-cache before and\or after installation which can cause that exact issue. It boots to the Dual-Core screen without doing anything else or restarting after some random amount of time. Hook up fastboot, connect to the device
in command prompt, type this
first confirm that fastboot can communicate between the phone and the pc by using this command below which should show a device connected and list it's serial number
fastboot devices
#--if fastboot sees your phone then just simply type
fastboot -w
#--that wipes the partitions that can cause you to get stuck at the initial boot screen logo, after it finishes, just type
fastboot reboot
I've gotta out of a few situations where phone wouldnt boot until I either did this "fastboot -w" or in clockworkmod recovery, cleared the data and cache, hope that helps, try this method before jumping to any extreme solutions that could make the phone a hat weight

ok it rebooted and went off the screen now its in a boot loop and flashes the motorola sign then shuts down and keeps going
ok, so the issue was partly the cache not being wiped prior the rom being installed and something went wrong with the installation of the kernel. That happens if the boot.img didnt properly extract and write to partition or its just incompatible with the rom\device.
Visit faux123's thread with kernels for ATT froyo, GB, CM7 & CM9
download the kernel that's compatible for your rom(froyo, gb, cm7 or cm9). Once you download the zip, go in there and pull out the "boot.img" file and put it into the same folder you have fastboot.exe in and boot into fastboot again.
quickly check connectivity with "fastboot devices" to verify and if that checks out, use this command.
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
it takes like 3 seconds or something to complete so its an easy fix, after its done just do the "fastboot reboot" command.
i had this same exact issue last week plus my recovery was being erased along with this problem so i keep boot.img & recovery.img just sitting inside the fastboot folder just in case
atrix reboot project - it has every single file thats for the atrix and copies of systems, roms, tools, recovery files, mods, tweaks
Try this:
Pull battery
Replace battery while holding volume down until you see fastboot
Tap volume down to until you see android recovery, then press volume up to enter recovery
First try wiping cache/dalvik, if that doesn't work restore nandroid backup, if that doesn't work reflash rom
I followed official Ubuntu Touch instructions for installing/uninstalling Ubuntu.
Installation went without any problems, but after returning back Android, the device is stuck on the "X" animation and cannot proceed.
I tried the following:
Going into recovering mode
Flashing the device to stock version of Android (v4.2)
Flashing the device to previous installed Android (v4.3)
The flash-all.sh command is executed successfully every time, but boot gets stuck at "X" animation no matter what I do.
What can I do to fix this issue? Any ideas?
Thanks!

try to format cache via fastboot.
fastboot erase cache and fastboot format cache and reboot!
if it happens the same try to enter in the stock recovery! attention just stock recovery and press and follow this:
---> Note that some users indicate that they can't get past the X on boot. If this happens to you, reboot into the bootloader and select recovery. Then, when you see the Android with the red exclamation mark, hold power and press volume up to take you to the menu. Wipe cache. If that still doesn't work, boot back into recovery and do a factory reset (this will obviously delete all your data & files in /sdcard...).
and if not boots dont worry try to flash everything again manually dont press the button flash all , just follow the point D
D. Type in the commands into the command prompt
1) Make sure your computer recognizes your device by typing: fastboot devices
2) Unlock your bootloader (if you have not already done so): fastboot oem unlock
3) You will see a prompt on your device. This will wipe your entire device (including the /sdcard folder). Accept. Note: you use the volume keys to change the option and the power button to accept. You cannot use the touch screen.
4) Reboot by typing: fastboot reboot-bootloader
5) Flash the bootloader: fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz10o.img (or whatever the name of the bootloader image that you downloaded).
6) Reboot: fastboot reboot-bootloader
7) Flash the radio: fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.48.img (or whatever the name is of the radio image that you downloaded).
8) Reboot: fastboot reboot-bootloader
9) Flash the system partition: fastboot flash system system.img
10) Flash the data partition: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img Note: this command will wipe your device (including /sdcard), EVEN if your bootloader is already unlocked. See note 2 below.
11) Flash the kernel/ramdisk: fastboot flash boot boot.img
12) Flash the recovery partition: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
13) Erase the cache partition: either a) fastboot erase cache OR b) fastboot format cache <<== the second option seems to work better for most people. Thanks joostburg.
14) Reboot: fastboot reboot
15) Done! The first boot will likely take quite a bit longer than you are used to, as Android builds the Dalvik cache.
it should works!!
Thanks a lot for your answer Alvin - the issue was related to caches. I managed to fix the situation by doing the following:
Going into the bootloader mode and selecting "Recovery"
Holding volume up and power button until a new screen is opened
Do a factory reset
Wipe out partition cache
Do a factory reset again
Everything seems to be working properly now.
Hello recently my phone battery went dead than after I charged it I got "optimizing apps" and it just couldn't finish. So then I did "flash stock and unroot" and now I'm stuck with bootloop. Wiping data with stock recovery didn't work, I've tried it many times.
Did you try using fastboot commands to erase userdata, flash userdata.img, and factory wipe before first booting the phone?
I think not, please tell me how to do that :$
Extract the userdata.img file from the stock Google ROM you are flashing.
Boot the phone into fastboot mode, connect the phone to the computer, type "fastboot erase userdata" and press enter. Then type "fastboot flash userdata userdata.img" and press enter. The userdata.img file should be in the same directory where you execute fastboot commands. When the flash has completed, use the volume and power button to go into recovery, wipe data, and reboot.
My PC doesn't even want to recognize my phone...

Is the phone in fastboot before it is connected to the computer?
Yeah, it is. Edit: I think I made a mistake because i wrote "adb devices" instead of "fastboot devices". Edit 2: Still stuck in bootloop. Somehow I managed to instal CM 12 but now I have infinite "starting apps".
It could be stuck because you need to flash the userdata.img file.
I have a similar issue here, Wiped, formatted, resized, reflashed bootloader, radio, recovery, system, userdata, cache. Tried stock lollipop, cm12, cm13, everytime each rom flashes successfully. However, upon loading the custom bootloader animation, it stucks there forever. This happens matters not that flash each partition individually, install the zip via TWRP, or ADB sideload. Is there a live boot/verbose option so I can see where it is hanging? I tried so many times it almost feel like it is a hardware issue.
After flashing each stock partition, including userdata.img, are you booting into stock recovery to perform a factory wipe before the first boot of the newly-flashed stock ROM?

so I tried to enter recovery with stock 5.1, android with red ! pops up, but no "no command" line. I can't press volume up/power to enter recovery.. thought it is a fluke, I reflashed everything with 4.4.4 stock, same problem, cannot enter stock recovery. what am I missing here?
edit: dumb question, I held the button in wrong sequence, yes I factory wiped and still hangs on boot image
When you went into recovery, did you see an error line at the bottom that said something like invalid format or invalid argument? In recovery, did screen at the bottom say that the cache and data were formatted?

enter recovery "fail to mount cache"
factory reset
"format system"
"format cache"
done
reboot----> hangs
That is what I was hoping to see but it's strange that the phone still hangs.
Maybe boot back into ft aboot be run the commands "fastboot erase cache", "fastboot erase userdata" and reboot.

done, phone still hangs, do I just need go get another motherboard?
I'm out of ideas and another motherboard may be the only solution. You've done everything I would have done.

FYI I took the unbootable motherboard out, swap it into a nexus with broken digitizer. Turned it on, and it booted.... so the fix wasn't replacing the motherboard... it was replacing everything else...... probably was a connection issue yes?
In post number 13, you formatted the system?

Heh, I think I meant "internal storage"/"data" partition. If no OS it wouldn't hang, just reboot to recovery if I remember correctly.
After flashing stock KK or LP, are you also flashing userdata.img and then booting into stock recovery to format/wipe data before booting the ROM for the first time?
OK, 3 days ago I rebooted my ZE551KL and it went into a bootloop. I was completely 100% stock. No root. Locked bootloader. Spent the better part of the weekend trying to troubleshoot it, and I have made almost zero progress.
I've tried a bunch of things, but here is my current status.
Can get into fastboot mode no problem.
POWER + DOWN VOL gets me into stock recovery, but at some point I flashed an older version. I tried flashing TWRP, but after install could never seem to get into it (is that because I'm unrooted and locked?)
Current recovery version: Android system recovery <3e> LRX22G.WW_user_1.16.40.763_20151201
I've tried flashing to a couple different firmware versions from the ASUS website both via ADB and via the SD Card.
Current firmware: UL-z00T-WW-1.17.40.1531-user.zip
Still in bootloop.
Any advice on rebuilding this thing from scratch? I dont care whether I just get stock back, or if I need to root/unlock, install TWRP and a custom ROM. Dont care, just want a functioing phone!
Thanks in advance.

I dont get it. Did you factory reset your phone? With stock rom, factory work most of the time.
You said that you tried flashing TWRP. If you see successfull message after flash, type "fastboot reboot" and hold volume down button right after hit Enter. If you did right, you can get into twrp, then choses Wipe > format, it more powerfull than factory reset.

1. Factory reset from within the phone's OS? No, I cant get that far. Just constant bootloop on ASUS logo.
2. I've used the fastboot erase command to wipe everything, and used the wipe data/factory reset option in the stock recovery. Still bootloop.
3. I've tried flashing TWRP 3.0.0.0 and the newest version of TWRP. I hold down the VOL DOWN key before hitting enter on "fastboot reboot"; it just goes into a faster bootloop, like every half-second. When I release the VOL DOWN key, it goes into the same, slower original bootloop.
ACFH said:
Ok. You can format through fastboot
Code:
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
If it still stuck in bootloop, try reflash boot and recovery, fastboot wipe system. Then copy update.zip to sdcard. Boot into recovery > install update from external sd.

Awesome. I'll give that a try and report the results.
I just downloaded the .img with the same date as my recovery version from here. https://asus.kremowka.xyz/categories/show/2
Its been hung at "Verifying update package...." for about 10 mins now. Once this is finished (and probably fails ); I'll give your format commands a try.

Ugh. Didn't work. Here is what I did:
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
fastboot erase system
fastboot format system
Reboot to recovery
install UL-z00T-WW-1.17.40.1531-user.zip from SD card.''
Installation successful.
Reboot.
In a bootloop that shows ASUS logo for 10-15 seconds, flashes a blue screen really quick, then reboots.
What can I try next?
Hello, I failed to install a custom ROM and now when it gets to eRecovery mode I only have the options to reboot, shutdown and download latest verison and recovery. Of course, the download option doesn't work. I tried to get it back to the stock, the adb sees the device only when it's powered off, and it says unauthorized. The only time the fastboot devices show something is when the phone is in the fastboot mode I think and on the phone it displays: PHONE Unlocked and FRP unlock
When i try to fastboot flash system.img it says that FAILED <remote: Command not allowed>.
I tried to search for answers, can anyone help me please? I am doing this for 2 days...
LATER EDIT: I flashed boot,recovery, system. And now the options i have are: reboot system now, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. wipe data/factory reset just stops after 20%. What can I do?
Which device variant are you using? Which custom ROM did you try to install ? I think it would be better to post on the ROM's post...
Anyway fastboot should be use to flash recovery only, not a system. I'll recommand you to grab TWRP, install it via fastboot (fastboot flash recovery twrp_image_name.img . When it is installed, reboot recovery , back up product and vendor, Wipe everything and flash stock ROM.
