I was trying to install a custom ROM I put TWRP on my phone but now it won't boot. It's just stuck on the Nubia logo.
I can get back into TWRP, but I don't have the ROM .zip on my phone.
I tried using sideload in TWRP to get the .zip on, but it give me an error when I try to use it:
"C:\adb> adb sideload NubiaPixel_v1.0.zip
error: protocol fault (no status)"
So I'm pretty much stuck at this point, the only thing I can think to do is but a type C card reader or USB stick to get the .zip on my phone.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

Hi! I have a bricked ZTE Libra (Sapo A5 in Portugal) and no mather how much I search for solutions I only seem to make things worse, so I was hoping someone here could help me.
Things started to go wrong after flashing a CyanogenMod rom. Everything worked except two things: I couldn't use anything that required my SIM card (so no phone or messaging) and I could not access the recovery screen (clockworkmod).
Without the recovery screen, I turned to ROM Manager but since it uses clockworkmod to do its work it didn't help.
Then I started trying other ways to recover my phone, until I tried ADB which allowed me a shell in my android. But then I broke it all by doing "wipe system" which cleaned my system of everything that was still working and left me with an expensive brick.
Now all I can do is boot until I see the green droid. If I don't press the volume buttons it goes into "device" mode and I can see it listed under "adb devices" but have no idea what to do with it.
If I press the volume button down to go into recovery mode it keeps flashing but never really goes anywhere.
If I press it up to go into the bootloader it stays the same and the only thing I can use to tell me something is different than the normal mode is that lsusb reports the vendor as "Google Inc." instead of what it reports in normal mode: "ONDA Communication S.p.A.".
With this I'm not even sure if I can get to the bootloader or not, but even if that is the bootloader, I have no idea what to do with it that might help me recover my phone.
By the way, I'm trying all this on Linux, although I could try solutions in Windows if required.
Can anyone tell me what can I do in this situation?
Ok, maybe my first post wasn't that easy to answer, so I'll make a simpler question to see if someone can help me.
What can be done at my android's bootloader? What is it for and what tools do I need to use to do it?
You could try installing ClockworkMod recovery using wbaw's guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319257 Once that's installed you should be able to flash a new rom with it.
In bootloader mode you can flash a new kernel or recovery image using fastboot.
If you follow that guide that I wrote & Amphoras linked to then you should be able to get a working clockworkmod installed and then you can use that to flash a working rom, or restore a backup.
Thank you both, I'll try what you said as soon as I can and then I'll let you know if it worked!
Ladies and gentleman, today a miracle happened, my ZTE came back from the dead!
Apparently the problem was that I installed some GEN2 applications on my GEN1 model.
I found this while reading the tutorial you suggested, after which I upgraded my ZTE to GEN2 which allowed me to slowly recover everything else.
So, I have to say, thank you very much, and I hope I won't need your help again anytime soon! xD
Alrighty then. I have Zte Blade 3. Lovely phone. I rooted it and I really loved it. Everything worked perfectly. I even connected my phone to my ADSL 2+ modem. I loved it! And then and ugly motherfu***r like me had to do this. BRICK IT. I tried installing a new mod unsuccesfully. Installation process gave me error so I clicked reboot now in recovery mode.So it turned off. And then it showed me android logo as it always shows when its booting up. And I thought Imma give a rest to the mods I will enjoy my phone as it is. But the problem appeared. My phone DID NOT PASS the green android logo.Just sitting there.Can't enter recovery mode via key combination(never could I actually used RootBlade3 program to enter recovery mode). But now I cant boot,enter recovery mode or get recognized by my pc. Cuz the phone wont boot up. Before you asked I did update all my drivers. This phone cost me some good money and since Im 15 Im dead if I dont get this right. Imma make you a rich man If you fix it(lying cuz Im broke) Thanks in advance.:laugh:

Download the official update.zip from official ZTE website for your phone!
It contains a recovery.img .
First copy the whole update.zip to your sdcard.
Then fastboot the stock recovery.img ..
Now it wont boot full , you are only able to get in recovery.
So go in recovery , apply update ; choose the update.zip and let the update.zip install.
Your phone should work fully normally now.
Thanks need more help

You said you tried the recovery.img to fastboot , so : do you got the fastboot drivers for Blade III installed?
When you ain't installed them , it is normal that devices won't be found.

I want to install custom ROM on my Zenfone 5.
Things you should know:
.. Phone OS completely corrupts unable to boot the device (even android logo also not appear)
.. It is not showing charging symbol also when connected to charger/usb
.. Phone never boots into recovery mode (it is just restarting(vibration)! and stay idle)
.. It has TeamWin recovery project that appear after 30 mins of charging (useful!!)
So, can anybody tells me how install custom ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/orig-development/beta-cyanogenmod-12-1-tank0412-t3285392) please don't say boot into recovery mode and do some adb/fastboot commands it is not working (volume up+power or any combination). It is just showing one big red charging bar symbol without charging.. and some times TeamWin which may helpful because it has filemanager and I can browse but I don't know how to install with that.
If you have any ideas please share me..
Thanks
You can put rom on the external sdcard and install it after TWRP booting.
But i think that something wrong with bootloader on your phone so you should try to make unbrick.

Thanks for the answer..
Hard bricked device - Just like it's name, your device is dead. It behaves like a real brick. You can have no operation on pressing the power button.
So we can make a conclusion: soft bricked device can’t be defined as "BRICKED"; the hard bricked device is the real "DEAD & BRICKED", and it can't be unbricked. Sorry for the answer to how to unbrcik hard bricked Android phone.
This is the situation of my phone and whenever I flash a zip file from TWRP I'm getting following error..
"E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/.....zip'"
I'm googling this error but unable to get anything(trying some of the one plus one solutions to the similar problem).. Please help me..

It looks like you use TWRP by Knone which is broken a bit. So you should install TWRP by quanganh2627.
Try to flash this package via TWRP:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-Fin8UxrD6PNm1NSDNQQ3JqUkU/view?usp=sharing
It will install a stable TWRP.

Hi! Your zip file successfully installed but after that also I'm getting same error. Is there any file download problem (Checksum or like that) or do I have to restart my phone(No OS installed!)

Yes, I'm trying that but the problem here is I'm unable to flash TWRP now (Run the command prompt - wait for device - phone starts several times but only big red battery symbol without charging/usb cable showing red bar below - boot into installed OS) that's it without flashing the TWRP phone reboots and command prompt still waiting for device even device already booted.
Interestingly now the battery showing 100% directly (I don't know ! whether it is actual figure or something goes wronng!) but still my IMEI is empty and I want to install stock ROM on this device for this purpose.
Note: still power + volume up/down to goto recovery mode not working
Any help appreciated. Thanks!!

You bricked your device.
You should use unbrick method:

[HELP] [URGENT]
//this is the story, skip if you prefer
so i was updating my cm 12.1 rom to rr 7.1 rom
everything was fine, no real mess just bad flash so i decided to reflash the rom (dunno why i did that actually, its just my tradition). Aaaaand the ROM went flawlessly
next step is install supersu, i checked that the rom is pre-rooted so i think its easier to get supersu via playstore. Installing supersu went flawlessly (again) and i rebooted ma phone.
//then everything starts to f***ed up
my phone bootlooped (not a big deal actually, done with this sh** all the time)
like a casual day, reflash my phone. but i cant go to recovery mode its stuck at logo i think that supersu binary damaged ma recovery.img (again not a big deal but i started to worry) i connect my phone to my pc, summon my adb, and hope the best, but my devices not listed there. then i remembered i forgot to turn on usb debugging on setting oh crap!
so here is my question:
is it possible to turn on usb debugging via pc or something else? if so how.
is it possible to use adb feature without my phone being turned on its usb debugging?
is it possible to repair my recovery <== i mean reflash beside using adb. if so how :crying:
and the last one, beside my phone not listed on adb device list. it wont showed or recognized in my pc (do i need something else beside usb and adb driver?)
any help will be appreciated :good:
this is my only phone so i put my hands on you guys, you're the superhero here
if i dont have any solution, my only way is send this phone to service centre :crying:
some info:
devices : lenovo a6k plus
old rom : cm 12.1 by ED300
new rom: rr nougat v5.8.0 (i dont remember who made this rom, sorry. by the way i found the rom somewhere in xda)
supersu ver: newest per 21 Feb 2k17 (playstore)
my pc: win 8 64x <== dunno if this info useful though
old recovey: twrp (forget the version, but im pretty sure the recovery made by russian developer and it has chicken logo during startup)
battery level when i discovered i cant go to recovery mode: somewhat near 16% <== maybe helpful
if you really care to help me just tell me what do you know, i would appreciate that really, i meant that because this phone is the only way i can contact all of my super important buddy for my business.
Thanks anyway, regards Tom
Well take out the battery and return it hold volum down + power button now you should be able to use fastboot commands go to the folder where you have your adb and fastboot there paste a recovery img file you want to use.Open cmd and type fastboot flash recovery nameofyourimg.img
And now you should be able to use recovery.If not try qfil debricking method that you can find on forum.Best of luck if somthing isnt clear enough feel free to PM me.Also download new recoveries that are now officialy developed
Thanks for replying JovanSijacki
unfortunate enough, i have done that and still dope and nope.
usually i can find my device in windows device manager named android with yellow triangle, but this one is different, my computer wont recognize my phone.
will try debricking method instead, thank you dude :smile:
Thank you for those who care to reply, friend of mine who are expert developer told me how to fix this. AS LONG AS YOU ABLE TO GET INTO FASTBOOT MODE YOU ARE SAFE. Im going to make separate thread to share the tutorial *insert smiley emoji*
Hi Guys,
I would greatly appreciate any help. I have somehow lost the TWRP & Stock recovery to my ZTE ANXON 7 MINI.
I had a custom rom and decided to flash a stock update zip and that rendered my phone unusable. I have managed to get it too boot to 6.0.1 B9 Spanish rom. However i have NO RECOVERY to flash the original update for the UK B12 Rom.
Im using the EDL Tool to flash. If anyone has the stock recovery to the B9 6.0.1 Rom that would be a big help. Or a EDL full backup.
All links to the ZTE website are down as they are no longer allowed to use ANDROID.
Also to note i have tried to reinstall TWRP however im left with either a white screen or nothing just bootloop.
Unable to unlock bootloader also as i have no fastboot option as recovery is dead
Thanks.
This are (full flash)EDL roms(need to extract to folder "flash\full ",and flash(not recovery ))B12.6Android.EDL.EU.Version
B13.Android7.EDL.EU.Version

If you have white screen or ZTE logo then I know how to solve it.
Funny enough, hook the phone to the pc, open adb command and type adb devices.
You will see you pc recognises the phone in adb as recovery.
If this happens let me know and I'll show you how to push the entire bootstack to data/media, then write all these files to each partition. After that your twrp will work and you are done.
These happened to me about 10 times now and I even created a bat file which I double click and it does all the operations at once then reboots straight into twrp. Quite cool actually.
Nevertheless I'm also interested in an edl ROM to umbrick another axon 7 mini I have which is totally, utterly bricked.
I have opened the phone (still opened) and I managed once to get the test point to work and connect to qcn configurator but since then I never got it to be recognised again.
Good luck
Cheers

Mate, you don't know how helpful this post was.
I have bricked this [nasty] phone about 10 times.
but yesterday I learn yet another lesson, after trying to flash a new splash screen, the phone went totally dead, connecting directly in DFU mode.
I sort of panicked because I didn't have a fresh data backup and there aren't full EDL ROM for this phone easily found on the web.
After focusing in making sure my laptop had the correct drivers (loader/bulk/adb) and after I got confident to use the deepflash cable to move from DFU to EDL, bulk device recognised, right click on it and update the driver to show the loader (901D) then I though what would be the next step.
I did not understand the MIflash tool and the version I had didn't seem to work at all I scratched my had for a while.
I then used the EDL tool, placed your files into the FULL folder and ran through the steps...….mate.....that was beautiful.
I ended up flashing the full B13 on top of the B09 and the system works perfect without any loss of data.
Having learnt all this, I went brave and confident I could rescue my other axon 7 min, which had been dead for over 2 months. Although I had to open it to access the test point, after about 50 or more attempts, I had tried lots of combinations, test point again etc.
It turned out I have left the phone plugged in to the PC with every plug disconnected except the usb board and went to do the washing up. 2-3min later my pc gave a sound, loader 901D was already ready and I repeated the exact process.
You basically saved both of my phones!!!! THANK YOU
