What kind of recovery are you using? If you are using stock recovery. Just use add sideload. If you are using TWRP. Then go to fastboot and flash the stock recovery. You can find the stock recovery in the rom downloaded from Asus : https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_5_A500CG/HelpDesk_Download/. Version 2.22.40.540 is recommended

Step 1: Flash recovery I'm via fastboot with "Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Step 2: boot to recovery.
Step 3: Chose Adb sideload option in recovery.
Step 4: use command 'adb sideload (rom). zip

Lost recovery, cant boot, only fastboot

Guys... when i tried to flash oos 3.0 on my op2 through twrp, i first wiped the data to install new rom, then install oos 3.0, it failed. I then flashed the recovery i downloaded from the thread, then restart the recovery
I cant boot into the recovery.
System can't boot
Is it called "brick"?
So i tried to flash stock recovery in pc by command, but it says "remote: device is locked. cannot flash images". any solution to this problem?
I can boot into fastboot mode

You need to run the phone in Qualcomm mode on a PC and run the recovery tool to fix you bootloader.
I did the same and it was a royal ball ache trying to find out how to fix it

Don't do what rosswaa said

Why not?

What you should do is boot your phone into fastboot mode, connect it to your pc. Flash this modified TWRP recovery img to your phone https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995297945. After that you have to flash this modified SuperSU (through the new recovery) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995297946.
The normal recovery doesn't work in OOS 3.0 (just like in HOS) and it's the SuperSU that gives you the soft brick. A dirty flash of the modified SuperSU should fix it.
I also had your problem and I did what rosswaa said which shouldn't be necessary (I lost all my data and backups).

I didn't lose anything, but I tried doing what you said and my bootloader was screwed so wouldn't take a flashed recovery or anything (yes the modified one)
Wish I hadnt been so excited and just flashed but all sorted now

Hmm okay, if it doesn't work with flashing the new recovery img then do what rosswaa said and after that follow this post https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/installation-instructions-faqs-oxygenos-3-0-0.439108/

Obviously try what green says first, if it works then happy days

first i am really glad that someone give some advices on me. But since i am a noob, how can i flash twrp in fastboot mode? using command? "fastboot flash recovery xxx.img"? thx

[Q][Help] Nexus 4 stuck in bootloop Recovery after flashing twrp to boot

Hi,
I made this post/thread because i couldn't find a solution to my problem through this forum and google.
Here is my trouble:
I was trying to install a twrp recovery and was following the instructions of a tutorial.
-So first i installed flashify and proceeded to a back up of the current kernel and current recovery
-Then downloaded a custom recovery image through TWRP release for my nexus 4
-After this i accidentally flashed the recovery image to boot instead of recovery
Now as you can guess the trouble is that my phone only boots to TWRP recovery instead of usual boot.
I tried to find aswers on this forum and google and yet i didn't find a solution.
I tried this post but without results:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/general/fix-recovery-loop-twrp-computer-t2873386
I would be grateful for any help and wish to recover this mistake without using a factory reset if possible.
Thank you, as you can see i am pretty new to this environment.

Can you get into fastboot mode? If yes, try flashing a stock Google rom and perform a factory wipe after installing the stock rom.

Thank you for your answer, yes i can get into fastboost mode. As i am pretty new can you explain me how i can flash the stock Google rom (i guess it is the factory rom provided ?). Will this operation erase my data on the phone ?

Boot into fastboot and flash boot.img and recovery.img file from stock rom. Make sure you use the stock rom that matches the rom currently installed on your phone.

Once in fastboot, extract the downloaded zip you got from Google. There you will find flash-all.bat Execute it as admin and wait. If it doesn't work, then extract the zip within the first zip and you should get loads of .img files. You will manually have to flash them. The commands are a bit different for each partition. They go like this:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery. img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash data userdata.img
Note that if your cmd/terminal isn't open from the directory where the files are you will have to input it's location, for example
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\YOURUSER\Desktop\recovery.img
Also note that there must be no spaces neither in the file name or the directories where the file is located, otherwise it probably won't flash.
Also yes, doing this will completely revert you to stock, and you WILL loose all your data. You could try just reflashing recovery.img and then flashing TWRP over it. If you can get to TWRP after this, then connect the USB cable to your PC and transfer all the data you need, after which I recommend flashing to stock. You can root and/or flash custom ROMs after this.
However in your case I think you don't have to completely go back to stock. Just try flashing the proper boot and recovery images over fastboot like I explained above and try booting then.

Thanks to both of you I managed to fix this just by flashing the boot.img of the Google factory img. It didn't erase my data except my messages which is nice.

Issue with flashing twrp

Hi guys .... every time I try to flash twrp.img via fastboot it says successful but when I boot into recovery I find it the stock one ... does anyone know what's wrong ??
ps : when I enter "fastboot boot twrp.img" it boots very well into twrp...but when I enter "fastboot flash twrp.img" it doesn't flash the new recovery .

Download required files from downloads
Unlock your bootloader( u must be unrooted)
Reboot to bootloader
fastboot boot recovery.img
flash twp-installer.zip
reboot to recovery and check if twrp is there
, if not (100% chances)
Reboot to bootloader
fastboot set_active b (I am assuming you are on slot a, else use fastboot set_active a or you can change slot on twrp itself)
fastboot boot twp.img
flash twp-installer.zip
reboot to recovery
Success
Thanks to https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/development/recovery-twrp-3-1-1-0-touch-recovery-t3688472

I have try that but when I flash twrp it says FAILED PARTITION TABLE DOESNT EXSIST and I am getting bootloop. If I try to fastboot boot recovery.img (twrp 3.1.1.0) then the device boots up instead going to TWRP recovery. I can boot only in newest TWRP 3.2 but cant flash anything from it. Tryed to choose SLOT A and B on REBOOT menu but no success. Please help!

Same thing happened with me also and I BRICKED my phone

Try a clean flash of a stock rom, fastboot image of your choice, after that try the twrp boot and flash again. May there's something corrupt on your phones.

Download the files provided above and follow the same method as given by the OP.
By that recovery image , ur system internal memory will be accessable and u will be able to copy the twrp installer zip file in internal memory of phone .
Once done that , flash in both partitions and you are good to go.
THIS ONLY WORKS FOR OREO STABLE.
I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY KINDA OF DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE , so be aware and know about what u r going to do.
just use these files , but follow the same steps as u did before
