booting failed

Help.
Booting failed. After downloading "[LINUX] Universal Nexus Linux Toolkit v1.0 (Unlock, Lock, Root, CWM, Factory Reset)" and ran Unlock the bootloader, Flash CWM recovery (Standard or Touch), Root the phone, I didn't foud anything change (not like my cellphone, I can select recovery mode when long push the powerbutton off button), so I made a decision (I beleve that's a huge mistake), I did lock the bootloader and flash Google Factory Image. Finally I realised I couldn't boot OS, but I found at the begining of power on, I could choose "start" "restart bootloader" "recovery mode" "power off" , It said booting faild if I select start or recovery mode.
Is there any way to rescue my tablet?

I have not used that tool.. But i believe you were to have a rom on your data/ media partition on your tablet then boot into recovery and flash the rom.. Sounds like your tablet just has no rom on it.. Try to adb push a rom to data /media then go into cwm and flash it .. you can use the nexus tool kit to do this if you do not know how..
Good Luck...

oops misread . your saying you can not get to recovery.. Try holding both vol up and down together and then power button from a off state . Before i would say 20 seconds you should get a hard reset.. if not the recovery/ rom flash failed.. You will need to use a Nexus tool kit to put the recovery and rom back.. or use fastboot to push recovery.. boot into recovery and install flash rom....
Sorry

can't see device with usb or adb
I have the same problem. Unforunately, I can't see my device with adb or in windows via the usb port. Without these I can't use the Nexus 7 toolkit. Any idea what I should try next?

How Unbrick nexus 7!!
1) Download the factory. image of nexus 7 before by this https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images.
2) nexus 7 root toolkit for the advanced. utilities it. (Lower left corner of the application), then click Launch.
3) mode is advanced tool you see Quick tools (on the left), select Fastboot-Bootloader me. The middle section (Boot / Flash image) to Flash (Permanent).
4) the file you downloaded from the first) is to run it using 7zip. Do not have a zip file. Recommend that if you are exhausted. The file extension. . Img me into the same folder (for ease of flash. And protection against flash files!) 7zip app and all programs in the community. Reload this App Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.joa.zipperplus7.
Computer loaded from this link. http://www.7-zip.org/download.html.
5) flash file system before the first Boot Click Boot and select the file from 4) the file named boot.img it.
6) flash the Bootloader on file bootloader-tilapia-4.18.img. (The grouper tilapia could be it. If you use the nexus 7 Wifi only).
7) flash the Radio / Baseband file name. radio-tilapia-1231_0.17.0_1205.img it.
8) flash File Recovery file name. recovery.img it.
9) flash file system on the order Userdata System and select the file system.img userdata select userdata.img.
10) completed it. Your machine will reboot. I do not drink coffee.
11) Enjoy! ^ _ ^.
You. Ban flash the wrong files here. I need the name of the file. The only way to tell!
I flash rom 0.2 the risk. I should be very careful.
0.3 If this is the case, you Softbrick it. (Hardbrick may not), then I try this method worked 100%.
There is a 0.4 credit, I thought I was the way I make them up. I want to share with. Please add credit to it. If one on me. Help bring this up with the group, thank you.
0.5 If there is another one your way. The mind of the South. (I have yet to try it as I work) and I like that we do not have information on the nexus (the brick that we do not backup data).
Ways.
First. Downloaded SDK from this link.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html.
Two. Then double-click. Extract the files placed on the desktop.
Three. Downloaded Factory Image (create a new folder and then extract the files to put in it).
. 4 Factory Image extracted successfully, look for a file named flash-all, right-click the file and select edit, then go to delete off-w, then Save and come out.
5. Adt-bundle up to see two folders. Click to select the sdk folder and then uncompress the Factory Image files Copy all (6 files) and put it in a folder. platform-tools.
6th. Then double click the flash-all then lay in wait for a while to update it back to Factory Image kosher by the data is lost. Mod it to disappear, they are only dancing, etc. (it's new to flash).
Note: Do not forget to delete off-w, otherwise everything totally disappeared.
Suggested: do not open a cmd without the headache type. Not faced with the annoying Waiting for device.
0.6 Read carefully and understand it before doing it. Because many steps too. And all the way I say. In the computer, you must install the drivers and I!
It's .7 stock rom nexus 7 Wifi version, select nakasi (grouper) it. The Model 3G or 3G + Wifi. Select nakasig (tilapia).
0.8 I thank everyone. And all the comments too. I suggest that the nexus 7 brick.
0.9 If a brick at me because I was pushed to the nexus 7 root tool v 5.0 to flash stock rom just to watch a lot of this toolkit. + audio bug bit orchestrated. I recommend the use of or nexus root toolkit v1.6.3 wugfresh it.

[TUTORIAL][GUIDE][HOW TO] Flash Factory Images || Unroot || Relock bootloader

Heya Nexus 6 Users,
In this thread, I'll help you to flash factory images on your nexus 6. This process will wipe your device, so please BACKUP YOUR DATA before going through the flashing process.​
You can backup your data from some well-known apps from Play Store
- Titanium Backup (Root)
- Super Backup (Non-root)
- Helium (Non-root) etc
I am not responsible if anything goes wrong.

​
Step 1 : Pre-requisite
==> Setup your workspace by following step two from this (Credits @xBeerdroiDx)
==> For MAC users, you can follow this thread (Credits @AshtonTS)
==> For Linux users, you can follow this thread (Credits @bloodychaos)
Step 2 : Downloading Factory Images
==> You can find Nexus 6(shamu) factory images from here.
Step 3 : Extracting Factory Images
==> Extract the archive you downloaded (First extract shamu-XXXXX.tgz and then extract shamu-XXXXX.tar). You can use WinRaR or 7z etc. It should look like this

}
Step 4 : Unlock the bootloader
==> Follow this thread. (Credits @xBeerdroiDx)
Step 5 : Flashing
==> Method 1 : (Short and Sweet)
- Power off your phone.
- Boot it in fastboot(bootloader mode) by pressing and holding Power Button + Volume Down at the same time.
- Connect your phone to your PC through your USB cable.
- Execute the flash-all.bat script (for Windows) or flash-all.sh(for MAC and LINUX) in the folder where you extracted the factory images.
**!!** For MAC: You'll have to edit the flash-all.sh, and add "./" before every fastboot command.
(For windows users)
- Wait for everything to flash.
- After everything finished, select "Recovery" using the volume buttons.
- When a small dead Android appears, press Power Button + Volume UP.
- Select "Wipe data/factory data reset"
- Reboot. Your phone should be stock.
==> Method 2 : (Long, but works always)
- Extract the image-shamu-XXXXXX.zip somewhere easy to access (On C:/image-shamu-XXXXXX for example).
- In the same folder, from the original archive, extract "bootloader-shamu-moto-XXXXXX.img" (rename it to bootloader.img) and "radio-shamu-XXXXXX.img" (rename it to radio.img). You will have the following files:
- Power off your phone.
- Boot it in fastboot(bootloader mode) by pressing and holding Power Button + Volume Down at the same time.
- Connect your phone to your PC through your USB cable.
- Open a CMD window.(By pressing shift key + right mouse click at same time)
- Type the following commands, in this order (If you have a different folder, change the path)
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader C:/image-shamu-XXXXXX/bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:/image-shamu-XXXXXX/radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system C:/image-shamu-XXXXXX/system.img
fastboot flash userdata C:/image-shamu-XXXXXX/userdata.img
(Note: this command will wipe your device (including /sdcard), EVEN if your bootloader is already unlocked.)
fastboot flash boot C:/image-shamu-XXXXXX/boot.img
fastboot flash recovery C:/image-shamu-XXXXXX/recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache C:/image-shamu-XXXXXX/cache.img
- After everything finished, select "Recovery" using the volume buttons.
- When a small Android appears, press Power Button + Volume UP.
- Select "Wipe data/factory data reset"
- Reboot. Your phone should be stock.

I have not been able to get the flash-all method to work on lollipop on my Nexus 6 or Nexus 5. I always get those sig, storage or no system errors. The long method has worked fine for me though.

You need to follow long method for this. Even I was facing sig storage errors. I followed long method, it works flawlessly

Hi!
I have a suggestion. Instead of constantly updating the thread for every factory image that might be released in the future, you might want to replace things like "lrx21o" to a more universal name, so users aren't confused about it.
Also, try using this link for the factory images. It links directly to the shamu ones:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu
Anyways, good job!

My Sprint Nexus 6 has a submenu in settings for updating profile and PRL. Would this still be there if I use the Factory Images or is that an addition Sprint made to their phones? Thanks

I fixed this by following instructions above, replacing recovery.img with latest twrp then booting into twrp to do factory reset.
After doing factory reset power off phone and then reboot. Fixed my issue

Kind of a neat freak here:
I know dalvik is dead, but are there still any caches to wipe to make things perfectly clean after flashing?

What exactly did you do?
Flashing the images is good enough to go back to stock, then relock the boot loader to finish up the task.

Bootlooped/bricked/returning to stock ...see the method here

You may be have got attracted to those new roms out there on the internet and would have probably bricked your device.Or maybe did some modding and in worst case somehow your phone bootlooped.
so please follow the guide for unbricking or solving bootloop issues:
CAUTION:
[1] FIRST OF ALL, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE.
[2] NEVER UNPLUG THE USB CABLE WHILE FLASHING IS IN PROGRESS.IT MIGHT PERMANENTLY BRICK UR DEVICE..
ONLY FOR ZENFONE 5,A501CG/00CG
download the required files:
[1] kitkat firmware: for zenfone5(a501cg/00cg only other zf5 users download appropriate firmware from asus support page): http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/A500CG/UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.44-user.zip
[2] adb/fastboot files: from here
[3] device drivers:if you do not have device drivers download and install pc link on pc from asus website,it will automatically install device drivers on your pc.(download from: http://liveupdate01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/LiveUpdate/Release/ZenFone/APP/LinkRim/PCLinkSetup.exe)
IF U R BRICKED PROCEED FROM STEP 2 ELSE FOR BOOTLOOP START FROM STEP 1:
step 1] try booting into recovery and perform a factory rest and wipe cache if this solves the bootloop(in most cases it should).if it still bootloops then follow the following tutorial
step 2]extract the fastboot files on the desktop and paste the firmware(it will be in .zip)in the fastboot folder
step 3]after copying the firmware also extract and copy the recovery.img and fastboot.img file from the firmware into the fastboot folder. (don't remove original firmware zip)
now your fastbootfolder should contain fastboot files+recovery.img+fastboot.img+firmware you dowloaded(compressed in .zip)
step4]boot into the fastboot by switching off the phone and powering it on by power+vol up key until asus logo comes up
if u r returning from some other rom u need to relock the bootloader so scroll some below to see how to relockbootloader.
step5]once you booted to fastboot ,open command promt in fastboot folder (downloaded earlier) by pressing right click+shift in any blank space on folder screen and selecting open command promt here.
in cmd write:
step6]
Code:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
step7] fastboot reboot-bootloader
wait until reboot is complete then write
step8]
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
step9] now we will be erasing data and cache for a clean flashing
Code:
fastboot clear data
fastboot clear cache
both of them take time and screen may turn off to save power so don't panic
next use volume keys to navigate to recovery and select it using power key .once your phone boots up showing android with belly open symbol press and hold volume up+volume down until recovery menu appears.if that does not open recovery try this:
hold volume down button, click and release vol up button,,,then finally release vol down button.
i admit it brothers,,it is sometimes really difficult to boot into recovery...but keep trying,,it is a bit difficult but is fruitful
if it doesnt appears it may be due to unssucceful flashing, unplug usb cable,force switch off phone by holding power button for few seconds.now again boot in bootloader by power button and vol up key and repeat from :step[8]
once in recovery select apply update from adb
step10] write on cmd
Code:
adb sideload <downloaded firmware name>.zip
for convenience you can rename firmware to kk.zip or any thing you like so command will be adb sideload kk.zip(it may take 15 to 20 mins)
step 11]once thats done select wipe data and cache in recovery and at last select reboot from recovery menu(dont skip this else you may face freezing on welcome screen itself)
hopefully you will boot into homescreen and be patient first bootup may take upto 20 mins.
[UPDATE] HOW TO RELOCK BOOTLOADER{only for zenfone 5 other device users pls google the procedure}
(USE THIS ONLY IF U R RETURNING FROM ANY CUSTOM ROM ITS NOT NEEDED FOR BOOTLOOPING PROBLEM)
hi guys i know u will be needing to relock the bootloader while returning to stock rom..
so what u have do is use the following steps before flashing fastboot.img that is before STEP [5] mentioned above
[1] download this file (its a zip file extract it using password zenfone-five.blogspot.com)...(link=https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0o7qWuG7vvVRE9CV0hJWGRJS2c/view?usp=sharing)
[2]follow the on screen instructions
after the bootloader is locked carry on the steps from step[5]
PLEASE NOTE---THE UNLOCKING/LOCKING TOOL PROVIDED ABOVE IS NIETHER WRITTEN NOR OWNED BY ME...ALL CREDIT GOES TO ITS RESPECTIVE DEVELOPERS
this method can be used for:
1]unbricking
2]returning to stock rom
3]bootloop issues
IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO BOOT INTO FASTBOOT(maybe stuck on usb logo)--see this: http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=33800 it is written by asus guys and will help you
thanks

for me it's happen after i install TWRP, doesn't matter what TWRP version i install,
but it's can be fix.
drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5XJj7Sujx-DWmhoY1N4UzNsblE&usp=sharing (its my first time posting so i can't post url copy it to browser)
This is the fix data on my google drive, it's for to use with WW-3.24.40.87
the problem is if you got TWRP installed, after fixing you got your camera back but you lose the TWRP.

Downgrade to KK 2.22.40.54 and follow this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/general/asus-zenfone-5-root-ww-2-22-40-54-4-4-2-t3128704 or this for non-Linux, https://github.com/sigo/asus-zenfone-5-root/blob/master/README.md#usage-for-other-systems

Thanks for write your first post to solve my problem
Story of my asus: the phone was working properly, once it fell and the glass broke so I waited for the new glass and when I repaired it, the camera was not working anymore. I tried to reconnect and everything but nothing, the only cause can be an update before or after as has happened to many.
I'll try your method as last chance on software issue because i never flashed in .87, if it doesn't works i'll buy a new camera and lets see. I tried every software fix in the web, maybe it really broke when it fell.

It happens when u unlock ur bootloader
@Blak3n.........I had this issue several times. It's nothing serious and happens when u unlock ur bootloader to flash any custom recovery. This is the only fix if you face the "NO CAMERA" issue for unocking.
Please follow the below instructions:
1. TURN OFF the device
2. Press and hold Volume Up+Power to enter to fastboot/droidboot. When the ASUS logo shows up, release the power button and keep on pressed the Volume UP button. This will take you to droidboot/fastboot mode.
3. check whether your PC detects the fastboot...
Code:
fastboot devices
if not, go to device manager and install the fastboot driver(by online). if fails, install from the PC by selecting the android device from the list.
4. You must start with this version UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.30-user.zip to get ur camera working. download this image UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.30-user.zip: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Ze...user.zip?_ga=1.61130092.1708615694.1457697474
5. extract fastboot.img, boot.img, recovery.img from the zip file and copy to ADB folder to flash. Copy UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.30-user.zip to ADB folder as well.
6. run the below commands:
Code:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
wait for reboot.....
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
7. then go to recovery by selecting from the menu
8. in the recovery, select wipe data/factory reset
9. select wipe cache partition
10. select apply update over adb sideload
11. Now check whether your PC detects the ADB over USB. if not, go to your PC's device manager and install the ADB driver online. if fails, install from the PC by selecting the android device from the list.
12. after successful detection, run below command
Code:
adb sideload UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.30-user.zip
13. Reboot ur device. Your camera should work.
14. Now upgrade to lollipop following the version I mention sequentially. Otherwise it will fail. Just copy them to ur SD card and disconnect USB cable. your phone will automatically detect the update. no need to flash anything in fastboot.

>> UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-3.24.40.87-user
15. if it works hit thanks
I did a lot of research on it but no luck. there few Zen5 devices where u can't unlock the bootloader. I'm also a victim. For better understanding: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66307220&postcount=16

I know, right? Why TF does A**-US need to do s#!t like mess-up the motherboards of every 5th ZenFone 5, WTF. I'm stuck in these suckly stock ROMs while others are enjoying the feature-rich environment of the custom ROM community. Well, done A**-US. If I wanted "unhackable", I'd buy an iPhone.

You can flash custom rom but can't ensure your camera will be working as before. I have no camera issue but to me, taking snap is less important and I'm using RR rom with the camera bug. I'm fine with that. The camera is black/dark but it captures photos at least.

Naw. mine doesn't lose its camera when the bootloader is unlocked. I'm one of the owners of a ZenFone 5 that freezes/hangs then restarts randomly. Those are the only issues that affect the ZF5 users with their defective motherboards.

Bro, there are no defects on the motherboard. It's because of the unlocked bootloader. If you want to unlock it properly, then check it out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3389883

Well, still it doesn't work. I've tried every single method regarding that here on XDA. I've even tried those from EDA, Windroidica, and InfoBros. They all don't work.
The only method that managed to make a difference is ozank's automated script. It didn't completely stop the freezes, but I noticed that the reboots are a whole lot less frequent:
NO METHOD/OTHER METHODS - freezes about every 3 minutes. A few seconds when using any app.
ozank's AUTO-SCRIPT - freezes about every 20 - 30 minutes ONLY WHEN USING APPS. Haven't encountered the freezes when the device is on standby or daydream mode.

I'm glad to hear that some have managed to fix it. But as for me, and maybe some others, we'll just have to lay in the dust until a savior picks us up. (no religion, okay? )
Either that, or I'm switching phones.

CM 13.1
Hi.. I flashed CM 13.1 latest stable build on asus Zenfone 5 (T00F). I am facing the same camera issue. Is there any fix for this camera Issue other than Downgrade?Is there any change that can be done to system/framework/bspcapability.jar in order to make it work?
Thanks in advance.

Did you somehow kept your bootloader unlocked? There are few devices (mine as well) where the camera doesn't work if you unlock bootloader. If you port any custom ROM, you have to sacrifice your camera and vice-versa. Please relock the bootloader with a signed boot.img, fastboot.img, and recovery.img.

Does the rom link given here unzips perfectly?
Because i saw in another thread of Lenovo K8note titled firmware, users unable to unzip due to error in system img. Also downloading from baidu needs a user id. If its possible could you or anyone else reading this upload it in some other online storage drive. Im little bit worried about getting a worse situation while rooting. Even if it goes wrong i can use the stock firmware to make it back.
