Zenfone 5 locked fastboot and droidboot. /cache mount error. - Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please help. I already tried everything that I've found to solve this issue. But still no luck.
So here's my problem:
First of all, my phone actually boots to droidboot. The bootloader is also locked and I'm sure because when I try to flash twrp recovery.img thru fastboot, it won't flash. Next thing is even if I unlock the bootloader using the fastboot flash method, still it's not working. The phone doesn't boot to Android but fastboot, droidboot and recovery works but the thing is I can't flash or modify anything. xFSTK won't work since droidboot is working. So, I'm pretty stuck to this situation right now. And also, /cache mount errors in either droidboot or recovery.
Thanks in advance.

Help with bricked xiaomi redmi 2 prime

Hey guys,
I have a problem with a bricked xiaomi redmi 2 prime.
After a bootloop i tried to fix the problem with a system reset. But this does not work
After i booted into recovery and wiped all data, the phone reboot but than nothing happend. So i tried to flash the rom with the mi flash tool, but there i get the error "remote: failed to write partition".
So i went over to the adb and fastboot programms, with fastboot i erased system, userdata, recovery, boot and then i flashed the images of this elements back on the phone (fastboot flash sayed that flashing went successfully)
Then the phone reboot, nothing happend and i can´t get into recovery mode, also adb doesn´t recognoze the phone anymore
Have you any idea what i can do to fix the phone, or can i put it into the trash?
Thanks for your help
Stop experimenting.
Does fastboot work? Do a full flash with miflash(erasing all storage)(firmware should be of your model itself)
If fastboot doesnt work,try putting in the charger with battery in,if there is any vibration,you have a chance of reviving your r2

Yup actually download the latest version of miui fastboot files..paste them in the fastboot folder... Dont bother erasing you phn again(as it does erase at the time of writing new files...)And most importantly flashing only 3 files is more than enough. Flash them in the order boot.img, system.img, recovery.img and thats it. If your problem is actually not booting into fastboot then....press the volume down button and insert your usb while keeping it pressed.
Hey guys,
thanks for the answers. I tryed to flash only thees 3 files but it doesn´t change anything. fastboot works without trouble so far.
I tried multiple times the xiaomi flashing tool but this only throws errors -.-'
I will try again and keep you by the actual progress ^^

If you can get the fastboot to work, you can flash recovery on your phone for good or temporarily to flash zips.
How to do it?
1.Get into fastboot on phone
2.Install minimal adb and fastboot in your computer
3.Run adb and install drivers
4.Connect your phone which should be in fastboot to computer
5.Check for devices by using "fastboot devices", if a device is listed, proceed
6.Download a custom recovery, rename the recovery img to something easy than using the full name and copy the img into the folder where minimal adb and fastboot is installed
7.Type in "fastboot flash recovery <name you gave to recovery img>.img" (img for the image format) to flash recovery permanently
OR
7.Type in "fastboot boot <recovery name>.img" to use it temporarily, this method will erase the recovery on reboot so flash whatever you want before rebooting if you're following this method.
8.Flash in your ROM zip, try stock and custom ROMs, see if you can get your phone to work
GOOD LUCK
Same error with my yureka plus (error "remote: failed to write partition"). I'm planning to buy redmi 2 prime.. . Scared if this will happen to redmi 2 prime

Hi guys, i have an issue....
Moto g5 plus XT1680 LATAM
I flashed with Flash Fire (security patch) in my moto g5 plus rooted with SuperSU systemless and BL unlocked, but i reboot phone and it starts on recovery TWRP, then, i tried for 3 times but keeps starting on recovery mode.
After that, i tried to power up phone on booloader and then select START And it works, it's the only way that i can start phone normally, or wait for recovery starts and select reboot in bootloader mode because if i select reboot system ... keeps starting on recovery mode.
So, if i dont use bootloader and Select START, phone into recovery mode.
PLEASE, help me i tried with fastboot cmd [fastboot oem fb_mode_clear] not works, wipe /cache doesn't work too, i dont want to flash stock firmware. Can i fix this with a cmd or flashing stock img like boot.img / bootloader.img or something?
Thanks guys. :good:

I have the same problem when i select factory mode on bootloader then the phone starts only...
Otherwise it boots into twrp recovery
I have the same problem. Only boots into system via bootloader.
Otherwise it boots into twrp recovery.
After successfully booting into system it told me "system update failed".
I guess its because the system update routine is to be flashed via stock recovery and therefore its booting into recovery until it is flashed? Just guessing, but if so could I just flash the update manually?
Thanks in Advance :good:
same here, ps. thanks for the tip of boatloader !!

np, i still w8 for a solution!, i try some methods but not seems to work
Xt1687 here - same issue. Can I get confirmation that flashing the stock firmware fixes it?
Sorry if I'm wrong you cannot update when bootloader unlock ,have to wait some one make a fash zip so we can fash on twrp
Same here, I have to go to Mount then check System and then Reboot, Bootloader and finally Start. It's very annoying. I tried some ADB commands but nothing seemed to work.
Update: So I got annoyed enough by it to finally flash a different rom, wiped /data /system /cache and installed
Cosmic-OS 3.1 Universe but still can only boot via bootloader...
Any suggestions? Do I have to reformat the whole phone in bootloader via Computer?
Thanks in advance :good:

Hello i have a probleme twrp in my moto g5 plus i unlock bootloader i install twrp but if i want to make a reboot into twrp didnt work . The one methode for reboot into twrp is reboot bootloader and press star , plz i need a solution for normal reboot

I ****ed up while using fastboot. I need help.

I'm afraid I ****ed something up.
My phone bootloops and the only way to reboot correctly is to do "fastboot boot boot.img" with the STOCK boot.img (which can be found here : https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0B7F3ZXr565GkUU5iYjJtLXE2STQ)
Also I am not able to flash anything on the phone.
TWRP says "Error executing updater binary in zip...", and when I attempt to flash something through ADB Sideload, i get "Cannot read zip".
How can I fix everything? I guess I flashed something wrong trough fastboot but I'm not even sure what.
Also I found out that my bootloader was still locked.
But I can't unlock it since I am on Lollipop and the ASUS Unlock Tool is for Android M (I get error when i install the apk).
So I would flash Android M to unlock bootloader but hey, I can't flash anything....
I kinda fixed it, atleast I can now boot normally.
I followed this tutorial by @MiauLightouch : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66364620&postcount=8
And now I can boot without using fastboot.
Still unable to flash stuff using TWRP though.

Unable to flash TWRP on Moto e3 power with latest software update

I'm trying to flash TWRP (twrp-3.2.1-0-taido.img) on my Moto E3 Power. I had successfully rooted this phone once, and that's why the phone is unlocked. So when I try to flash custom recovery using the command "sudo fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-taido.img", it says it completed successfully, but instead of booting into twrp, my phone is starting up completely. When I tried booting up custom recovery using "sudo fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-taido.img", the same thing happened again.
The software on my phone is "23.0.XT1706_S151_180706_ROW". So far I've been unable to flash twrp on this phone, but I got it to work an year ago. Please, can anyone help me what's going wrong here? I'm following the tips on xda-forums using which other users were able to flash the same recovery on their phones.
you can try this

Help me Recover my files from no more booting Redmi 4 Prime. I will pay for success

Hi there,
after a normal shutdown, my xiaomi redmi 4 prime is not booting anymore.
it is stuck on MI Logo. I can enter fastboot and download mode. Phone is NOT rooted and Bootloader seems to be locked, but fastboot flash recovery seems to work. But all my hope to get a twrp started failed until now. I REALLY need the files from that phone. If somebody can help me, i will pay you money if you SUCCESSFULLY help me recover the files.
Beside, adb mode does not more work, after trying to fastboot flash a twrp image. But in ADB Mode i was in sideload mode, where no commands like pull did work. Oh and i never turned od developer mode i think. I will not stop believing there must be some person on this planet who can rescue my data.
thanks for any help.
I believe adb and developer mode are irrelevant since they work from within the system. One option is to make twrp recovery boot and copy files from it, but since you tried and failed you could try something else, but as last resort since I don't remember if it saved my data.
Since your bootloader is locked you cannot flash boot partition, but you can flash every other which cold fix your system. You should find EXACT same rom you had and extract partitions you want to flash (you have tutorials online, I don't remember, think you just extract them). If you try to flash complete rom with locked partition, process will fail.
fastboot flash system
fastboot flash recovery
fastboot flash data?!or whatever (or not data if your files are there)
Hope I gave you another perspective..
