Only fastboot? If you using original ROM, reflash original sbf thru RSD Lite. Backup before flashing, if you can access recovery. And then restore.
If you can't go to recovery, search something about "stick bit factory_fastboot". I saw somewhere methode for solving that problem. There was need to flash some parts from sbf, not whole firmware. Or smthng like that, i can't remember.
If you using custom ROM with custom recovery try next.
Can you access recovery mode?
If so, backup your current ROM on external sd of course, flash original firmware, root, install custom recovery and then restore your backup.
If not, go thru first methode.
Hope it will help.

hi folks don't know if i should make a new thread for this but i have not seen anything similar so here goes.
yesterday not sure if it actually matters but i dropped my phone and i picked it up the battery came off so the phone powered down but then i tried to boot it up again to no avail... the phone turns on but no matter how i do it it only boots up into recovery... if i use fast boot to remove recovery it boots up into fast boot i tried changing from the current swiftdroid asis to others like 2.1 roms, 2.2 and other 2.3 but all the same results...
how now... i am currently stuck with a lame nokia phone and i don't really want to keep it too long please help thanks!
Maybe you could flash a fastboot ROM with KDZ?

I not sure about that. D:
Isn't there an option to boot to 'bootloader' when in fastboot? Maybe type that option (I think it's 'fastboot reboot-bootloader') and see if it makes a reverse effect and boots into Android.
eh i think for gt540 bootloader=fastboot

Lol. of course I said that because fastboot is identified as bootloader when using fastboot/ADB/terminal. E.g. the command 'reboot bootloader' on terminal and 'adb reboot bootloader' on ADB.

yes when typing reboot bootloader in adb you are in fastboot (first time i thought my phone messed up ..) but you could try to erase everything via fastboot (boot, system, recovery, data of course) and then start again with another recovery and then install any rom via recovery
Done exactly that. I try before posting :/
Maybe the flash memory had damaged. So start in recovery then connect with usb and in adb shell try to mount /system

I seem to have got myself into a bit of a pickle here.
I had a rooted N7 on 4.2.2. Tried to unroot (in lieu of going up to 4.3). Disaster struck! It wouldn't boot. It would just get stuck at the bootloader and go "Booting failed" or something similar.
So bother, I could get into the bootloader. So I tried to fastboot flash a stock image using this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796) guide.
I got a bit further now, it would get the X loading screen but then no amount of waiting would have it boot.
So I tried factory reset from the recovery menu (the one with the Android and the red triangle).
No good, still did the same thing.
So I tried using Nexus Root Toolkit to flash stock + unroot from a soft-bricked/bootloop state. Nope! No good. Still does the same thing.
I've been through every combination of flashing, clearing, resetting but to no avail!
I've tried flashing CWM and TWRP but when I try to get into recovery mode, I just get the Google logo forever. This is a nightmare!

Hey,
did you try doing all these manually :
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image.zip
PS : Edit these according to images you are trying to flash.
You mentioned you tried the guide but try this once again.
Unlock your bootloader / keep your bootloader unlocked while doing this.
If you want to you can even try running the .bat files and / or .sh files while in the bootloader.
If it still doesnt work , download the latest custom recovery and just try flashing it through
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Please mention the errors you have a bit more in detail during these steps !

You can ... just make sure you have downloaded the right factory images and flash the use the .bat / .sh to flash the images .. keep in mind that you will lose all your data including that on the internal sd. All the best

Okay my solution to this:
Just keep flashing it with the flash-all.bat command until it just... worked.
Must've done it about 15 times.
Well that's that ordeal over.
Issue solved by using the following commands in fastboot via this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34552123&postcount=1, For anyone who has a similiar problem do the following.
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

I got it!
EDIT - UPDATED INSTRUCTIONS 12th May 2014
Due to the partition sizes being different in the GPE RUU it is not simply a case of flashing a sense rom in recovery. You will experience problems if you do this. This might involve getting the storage encrption message, bootloops, freezing etc etc.
This thread is specifically for users who have problems getting back to sense. Solution is below. If you have alternative solutions that have worked without issues please post.
I have tried to make them as simple as possible. This guide assumes you are S-Off otherwise how did you get here. (
This does not apply if you have installed a GPE ROM. You can flash as normal through recovery. (using instructions of new rom)
Thanks to @exad for his continuing support/assistance throughout the thread, as well as @graffixnyc for the GPE RUU and both he and @navalynt for finding the initial fixes.
It will be much easier if you have your new Rom on your external sdcard prior to starting this. It will also stop a number of problems if you have SuperCID (11111111) If you don't know how to - FASTBOOT Commands
1. Enter the command "fastboot oem readcid". Make and KEEP a note of your original CID.
2. Enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"
3. Enter the command "fastboot read cid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]
4. Press the volume down button twice on your phone and navigate to reboot bootloader, then hit power button to reboot the bootloader.
5. Bootloader will also say "CID-11111111" now to confirm (Thanks to @xl VipeR lx ) Also to @umjammerlammy for the GENTLE reminders to include this
Make sure the firmware file and twrp recovery are in your Android directory on your PC - Mine is
C:\Users\Grentuu\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\
During this process you may find that when you reboot the phone starts to boot into android. Mine did but simply had the GPE animated logo but never entered GPE. All you do is press Vol up and power for about 10 seconds to reset. As soon as it resets press vol down and power to get back to bootloader.
Flash 1.54.401.5 firmware from Here
Fastboot Method
Boot device into FASTBOOT mode either by adb reboot bootloader or Vol down & Power (device should show FASTBOOT USB)
Make sure the firmware file to be flashed is in your android folder
Open a command prompt from the folder where fastboot resides. (Hold shift key/right click in the dir to get menu - left click on Open Command Prompt here.)
Run the following commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU (this will reboot the device into RUU mode in preparation for zip flashing)
fastboot flash zip 1.54.401.5-W_Splash.zip (the name of the zip should EXACTLY match the name of the file you're flashing)
It will fail the first time. Run the same command AGAIN until you see it has flashed successfully.
I repeat - Run the same command TWICE until you see it has flashed successfully.
Once complete, type fastboot reboot-bootloader The hyphen is required.
Some users have stated this firmware (1.54.401.5) did not work for them as they weren't GSM and reboots just threw them back to recovery. If this happens try a stock (your original e.g. T-mobile) firmware then follow the rest of the process.
Boot into stock recovery
Factory reset
Reboot into bootloader
Flash TWRP - command = fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-m8.img (The must match exactly the name of the recovery you are flashing and remember the recovery file must be in your android folder)
Boot into TWRP
Go into Wipe menu
do a full factory reset wipe
Reboot back into recovery
Install rom
Profit
These have worked for me everytime (Change count =19)
Thanks for this. I'm about to give it a shot now.

Those are the instructions in post 1 the original thread.
The issue is with people wanting to go back to sense
This thread is about returning to sense. Flashing a firmware is always the same. It's the firmware itself that's different...
Here is where I am at..
I converted to GP easily and it worked well.. I wanted to convert back so I installed twrp first, then through twrp installed the 1.54.401.5 firmware.
Installing that firmware removed twrp and the rom. So I am without an OS at all, and have stock recovery.
Is there anyway I can flash a custom recovery or a rom via the stock firmware/recovery?
My computer will not recognize adb devices. But it used to obviously.
I have an SD card.
Any help and I will be sooo grateful. (maybe even donate)
Thanks!
You can't flash a firmware through recovery... You can flash a stock recovery after the steps listed above if you like. See the stock backup thread.
You can flash any recovery through fastboot... Adb only works with the rom booted or with custom recovery booted.
Thanks will try it out.

I would recommend the All-In-One Toolkit. This will allow you to fastboot the recovery, even though the pc doesn't recognize it. This has worked for me in the past.
Meanwhile, I get the following error message when attempting to flash the 1.54...
Any suggestions guys???
Problem solved. I had not supercid. After I did that, I was able to successfully flash 1.54...

When you open the all in one...the 3rd option on the top right is what you need. Follow the step, even if fastboot says device is not connected, this will still send the recovery to your device as long as you're in the bootloader.
I will never understand why people play with there phones and have no understanding of adb and fastboot commands with the bootloader. if people would learn that first there wouldn't be so many threads when they get stuck. tool kits are bad it makes people lazy. but I appreciate the devs who make them

I'd then flash the factory image with fastboot. That way the partitions will be written to twice.
