So, I have a ZenFone 5 (A500CG) WW running on a stock-based custom Lollipop ROM (Recreated Remix-Leopard). In an attempt to return to KitKat in order to test some app, I accidentally flashed a bad fastboot.img file. All was too late after I pressed the ENTER key. Although the device still booted and could also enter the stock Recovery mode, attempting to boot into fastboot is a fail (stuck on ASUS logo.)
Now, after an attempt to fix it by ADB Sideloading ASUS' stock 3.24.x Lollipop firmware, my device is technically bricked. Trying to boot it only takes me to the "dead droid" screen (Recovery mode). Attempting to boot into Fastboot (whether Power + VolUp or Reboot to bootloader via the Recovery menu) is a failure. I remain stuck at the ASUS logo.
I've seen the tutorial about unbricking the ZenFone 5 without Fastboot and Recovery (even with ruined partitions) but I found it too bothersome. I'm thinking that since I still have the stock Recovery in my pocket, is there a way to at least restore Fastboot via Recovery? Or better yet, a one-mode solution to install stock ASUS firmware without having to downgrade the Recovery menu (because Fastboot is dead.) Thank you for any help.
to enter recovery mode, u can try key combination :
POWER + VOL UP... when your phone's vibrate, pres VOL DOWN until "dead droid" come, u must release all button then press and hold POWER, press VOL UP Once.

I know that's how you get to Fastboot, but if you read my entire post, I wrote that I could not access Fastboot, whether through hardware (Power + VolUp) or through the Recovery menu's "Reboot to bootloader" option.

It's cool.
Yea. I tried doing that. Doesn't work:
I have the Recovery mode for 3.24 Lollipop FW. If I tried to install an older one (i.e. a KitKat stock ROM), it just throws me an error saying that I can only sideload an older FW. However, if I tried sideloading the same 3.24 FW, it just throws me an "Unknown command" upon the sideload reaching about 36%. It's always been like that, I can assure. I am very certain it is not caused by a faulty data connection.
Any way around this? Thanks!

Connect the phone to the cmd terminal on the pc and type: adb reboot recovery. You should have platform-tools from android sdk installed.

I had to use flashboot over USB to upload CWM, then CWM protected itself and re-enabled root, I didn'tevn have to reflash super-su.
- get he recovery image recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-mako
- flash it from bootloader:
- extract fastboot from the sdk (I extracted the whole sdk)
- restart phone while holding power+vol down (keep vol don pressed after release sing power)
- run "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-mako.img" on your PC
- after selecting reboot it gave me the option to protect he recovery and resinstall super-su
- the right verison of super-su was already installed by CWM so I didn't even need to reflash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip

By the way, for me it took a few tries to get it to work - I was pressing, pressing but nothing was happening but it finally worked.
So to the OP, if it doesn't recognize you pressing the two buttons the first time - try again until it works.

I'm stuck in an infinite eRecovery loop. No matter what I try or what I do I can't get the phone to boot back into the OS. Anyone have any tips or tricks? Huawei is going to do an rma for me but I'm flying out on business for 2 weeks and really need this phone with me. It's an MLA-L03 that is oem unlocked (which is what I'm thinking is causing me the most issues as I can't do the normal button presses to get to certain things but I can't relock it as it says it can't be trusted or whatever)
I did manage to get to a point where I have full access to /data/ but no matter what rom I try to flash it fails with failing to mount /cust/
If I put an update.app it will get to 5% and hang until it fails when I do the button press to force an update. I cannot get to the emui factory reset screen.
PS, yes I know I'm a dumbass, so be gentle lol. I'm really desperate and have nothing to lose at this point so will to try anything.
I did try everything here with no luck (other than getting full access to /data/ lol):

Ok so you'll have to flash firmware with fastboot.
You need to download and install fastboot, firmware finder and huawei extract tool.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 (fastboot), https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146 (firmware finder), https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 (huawei extract tool).
So install adb and fastboot, extract firmware finder and huawei extract tool. Open firmware finder hit common base, on model for find enter mla-l03 and download a full ota, form firmware you just downloaded extract update.app. Now open huawei extract tool and load your update.app you've just extracted and extract from there boot.img, recovery.img and system.img by using the right click (extract them on the same folder where is located fastboot, for example I got fastboot installed on local C/adb).
If you have twrp installed boot in fastboot mode by using twrp, if not you can boot in fastboot mode with the phone turned off by pressing volume - while plugging the usb cable.
Open cmd and write cd /adb (between cd and / is space) and hit enter than write fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG and hit enter, fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.IMG and hit enter, fastboot flash system SYSTEM.IMG and hit enter, after finally writing the system write fastboot reboot and hit enter and wait till phone reboots.
Thanks, I've done all that already and it did not fix it but will try again once I get home.

Really?
I got my phone in the same state and was the only method witch helped me.
Did you successfully flashed boot, recovery and system and still not working? phone get stuck on the huawei logo? After you flash them, boot into recovery and do a factory reset and wipe cache.
yup, everything flashed successfully. I can't get into the recovery to do a factory reset. I have 4 options at my disposal:
1. fastboot
2. Huawei eRecovery
3. TWRP
4. force update where it always fails at 5%
I think the biggest thing that is screwing me is the fact that it's unlocked and I can't relock it. I'm almost 100% positive if I could relock it, I would have no issues with it.
And woh do you boot into twrp? Since you can boot into twrp you must be able to boot in stock recovery. Use huawei multi tool by black team too go into recovery.

Thanks I'll try that.
It's weird. I flash TWRP, do what I need to do, then reflash the recovery.img. However it just does a continuous loop to eRecovery when I do that unless I try to force it to update.
I'll try using the fastboot that you linked to and see if that makes a difference. Right now I'm using the minimal adb and fastboot install.
EDIT: Same result when trying to relock the bootloader--device cannot be trusted.
EDIT2: Do you have the cust.img file? None of the firmwares I've downloaded has it in it.

When your device reboots and you get to the warning screen about your device being unlocked, what buttons do you press to get into the normal (ie not eRecovery) recovery where you can do a factory reset? When I have TWRP installed, I have to hold volume + and volume - at the same time to go into TWRP. If I do the same thing after I reflash recovery.img, then it goes straight into the forced update which stalls and fails at 5%. Volume - reboots and goes back to fastboot. Volume + takes me to eRecovery. Doing nothing, the phone reboots and goes to eRocovery on the reboot. Holding down all 3 buttons also goes to the forced update screen.
I'm assuming that I'm missing something super simple and stupid so I'm going to go over everything again, step by step very carefully.

That just reboots me and then puts me in fastboot unfortunately. I'm going to try loading twrp and removing anything in /dload/ and see if it will boot to normal recovery. Last time I checked there was an update.app file there so maybe it's just bypassing recovery and trying to install that.

I'm driving and it's a bit hard to write did you tried another recovery? You can flsh twrp, put the stock recovery on sdcard, boot into twrp and flash recovery from there and reboot phone from twrp into recovery....
No worries, I really appreciate all the help. Now stop texting and driving. Your life is more important than my phone!!
Okay, to start with, I've read the other threads about this. I understand the process that *should* work:
1. Power off.
2. Then, press and hold both all Volume Down + Power buttons at the same time until the LG Logo is being displayed on your LG V20.
3. Now, release the keys and press the above combination again however, this time you should wait until recovery mode menu is displayed.
...and I've tried the version where you keep holding the Volume Down button the entire time.
So, yes, I've reached the white screen where it asks you if you want to do a factory reset. I've hit "Yes" to both questions. The problem is that it really does a factory reset then.
---
After unlocking the bootloader, I installed TWRP via fastboot:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
...everything went fine.
But I can't get into recovery. And since I'm waiting to have TWRP working so that I can flash root, I can't boot into recovery via an app.
What did I do wrong?
EDIT:
Okay, it looks like TWRP isn't working properly. I tried "adb reboot recovery" and that got me to a dead Android icon and a "No command" message. I have no idea why TWRP isn't working.

to confirm, have you verified you are using the correct TWRP version for your V20?
in this step "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" is your twrp image that you saved, named twrp.img? If its not, that command won't work correctly.
usually after I flash recovery, when still in the recovery menu, i choose reboot recovery just to make sure it did stick. If it reboots back to itself, then try rebooting the device, and again confirm with manually entering recovery. Maybe overkill but it works for me LOL.
Good luck!
I am in need of big help! I made a critical error after days of trying to navigate the minefields of rooting my device. I have a LG V20 h910 and it is no one-click wonder root. It made me work for it and I finally got it. I loaded LineageOS 14.1 and all was good until the USB OTG cable from my PS4 controller did not register anymore. Damn, that was a let down, and probably led to my careless move of needing to downgrade my TWRP, saw the version I needed, forgot these are device specific, and now I'm stuck in a hard place.
Perhaps the fix is easy, but I have not found the answer after many, many searches...
I had TWRP 3.2.1-2 and needed to downgrade to 3.2.1-0 to try SuperRom (hoping it would have OTG ability). I hastily grabbed the first TWRP 3.2.1-0, threw it on the SD card, wiped everything except internal storage, and flashed the img, and did a reboot. Road block went up.
I tried getting back into recovery, did the PWR and DOWN pressing combo and got the Factory Reset screen, but after clicking "Yes" to both, instead of getting the TWRP screen, I got this error screen (attached).
I tried another idea - hooked it up USB to my PC and tried accessing it via adb/fastboot. I tried multiple drivers for my device, but no adb and no fastboot devices were ever found. The only thing that almost worked was booting phone into FASTBOOT mode by holding DOWN btn and plugging in a USB cable attached to PC. Once in FASTBOOT mode, My PC at least saw the ID for fastboot device. I tried to flash TWRP via fastboot, and it looked like it would happen, but in the end there was no phone screen response to my attempt, and the cmd window on my PC would get stuck and just hang.
Can someone please advise me on how I can fix this problem?

Just to make sure because the recovery stuff with this device can be at start a bit confusing. Please check does the recovery you boot into have factory reset option in it.
Also can you give a link for the twrp you flashed?

1. Booloader unlocking only affects to what you can flash in fastboot, it doesn't affect stock recovery funtionality.
I asked about factory reset option, because I wanted to make sure you aren't booting to "recovery2/eRecovery". (It doesn't have factory reset option)
2. Avoid using kingoroot and other oneclick root apps if it is possible.
3. Your firmware version doesn't matter.
4. Bootloader unlocking can't cause crash. Locked bootloader could cause crash if system is modified(I think), but you would still be able to get recovery.
One way to make sure you boot to normal recovery is to connect your phone to pc --> open command line --> type "adb reboot recovery". This won't take you to erecovery
I can't do any better help with the current information.
After you successfully flash the recovery with fastboot (always use the latest!) You need to do these things in order (and fast) in order to but to TWRP. If you don't it will boot to stock recovery and you have to fastboot flash again.
You must
a) write fastboot reboot in the console but don't pass Enter!!
b) hold VOLUME UP
c) (still holding VOL UP) presss Enter and remove the USB cable immediately once it says your device is booting now.
Keep holding VOL UP until you boot to TWRP. Allow modifications.
For root you will flash Magisk (you know, normal zip), which a) is open source, so no sneaky stuff and b) can hide root from apps as a bonus. You can always get the zip here: http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
Important: If you have other root solutions install them for example SuperSU has an uninstall option. Then flash Magisk

The recovery you go from fastboot is eRecovery. You can't boot to stock or TWRP recovery directly from fastboot. If you choose shutdown from eRecovery then you can just go to TWRP with normal way (power + VOL UP). Going to eRecovery doesn't undo TWRP installation. (This also means you can do force update even with TWRP installed, I think, not 100% sure)

coudint even unlock bootloader via adb, Used the official method instead and unlocked bootloader (with asus's app for unlocking found on their website). Now (as expected)cannot install custom recovery through adb. When i try phone goes into a black screen saying "Press any key to shutdown". Any solutions? any alternate methods to install custom recovery? Thanks in advance

Are you running stock Android Pie version (16.2017.1903.050)?, I faced also this problem on stock Android Pie, What I did is downgrade it back to stock Oreo version (.340)
Solved

faced the issue untill I realized it was an issue regarding USB 3.0. The phone cannot support such a higher data speed. Use a USB 2.0 hub between your PC and your phone. That solved my problem.
For some reason connecting the phone to a usb 2.0 port in my laptop also did not solve the problem.
