How can I recover photos with recovery stock? - Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, my phone will restart a few seconds after switching on (I do not have time to even unlock it) does anyone have any solution to solve the problem?
The device is completely stock, I tried to change the recovery but obviously did not let me update it, I can get into the fastboot and recovery stock, I tried to update the signaturewre but the writing appears
"(adbd status 1)
restarting adbd
installation aborted. "
Even if the device is stock there is a way to be able to recover at least the photos?
Thank you

Bootloader locks itself, can't restore via fastboot

Hi,
recently my friend asked me wether I can look at her P8 Lite which wasn't working after beeing left unused for some time. Basically when she got a new phone this P8 was left in box for a few months and after turning it back on the screen included in attachment appeared. https://imgur.com/a/WcvNByN I'm not new when it comes to unlocking bootloaders and all that stuff as I was doing it many times on another devices so I tought it will be easy job. Well, was I wrong... What I tried so far to recover this phone:
1) I obtained all necesary data to get the bootloader unlock code from Huawei. When I want to unlock the bootloader it works but after I reboot the device it goes back to "Locked" state.
2) It does not boot to recovery with buttons combination.
3) It does boot to fastboot but as I said bootloader locks itself down after reboot.
4) I tried to place UPDATE.APP from various firmweares on SD card and update it that way, it takes extremly long but with this metod it boots to some kind of MIUI recovery in which I have 3 options: wipe cache, wipe data/factory reset, rebboot system. Depending on firmweare it allows me to wpie cache or/and wipe data but reboot system always fails taking me back to this rescue mode screen.
5) Finally I tried to flash stock rom by extracting files from UPDATE.APP via fastboot. It flashes everything except recovery and boot which gives me fastboot error: "FAILED (remote: flash write prim vrl failure)". Interestingly I can flash TWRP recovery without error but when i try to access it whit buttons combination it fails and goes to rescue mode.
Device was stock and unrooted before this. I'm kind of out of ideas, I searched a lot of topics without any conlusion on this, if anyone could help me I wolud really appreciate this. However I think there is no hope for this phone maybe someone here would be able to help.

Oh no... You should contact Huawei and don't tell them that you tried to unlock the bootloader. Your phone may have a thing named "Huawei eRecovery". Launch it, it will download and flash stock ROM.

That option works only in China . I guess

I had the same error on my Huawei P8 Lite 2017 but I broke it myself.
The only way I was able to fix it by not taking it to a store was to use DC Phoenix,but it costs 20 euros for a 3 day license.
It was worth it though,since it did first of all lock the bootloader again,and it bootlooped at first but then I went to eRecovery and it installed the latest update and booted up.

Cant flash anything other than twrp on galaxy s8 and phone wont start

so i accidentally destroyed my efs partition on my Samsung and last baseband and all that in the process of trying to fix that i seem to have broken the bootloader or something so the phone just flashes on the samsung logo, when i try to flash stock firmware or anything other than twrp the flash fails and the phone shows this error: "an error has occurred while updating the device software. Use emergency function in the smart switch pc software." the phone isn't reconised in the smart switch software though so i cant try to fix it through that. im really not sure what to do at this point, does anyone have any ideas?
Update: i managed to find the latest firmware to flash (CRGB) however my phone gets stuck on the flashing samsung logo and idk what to do now. also my efs partition is broken is there a way i can fix that? (i dont have a backup)

Samsung s8 fail to open recovery_cause no such file or directory

Hi, I've got a soft bricked S8. I've tried to flash stock firmware but with one, O2 it stuck on erasing at 32% and with another stopped at 24% with no command. When it boots into recovery, I get a whole list of messages at the bottom of the screen. The first one is, "#fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)#" I've googled for hours and not really got anywhere. Recovery doesn't work. It's there but buttons are unresponsive sometimes. Download mode works and shows FRP lock ON and OEM lock ON. I am sure this has something to do with it but it's outside of my knowledge range. I've attached a picture of the recovery screen. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I'm new to these threads so I can't work out how to attach a .jpg of the recovery faults. Any advice would be appreciated
Same issue here
I know this is an old thread, but did you find a solution?
On an unlocked J6, after flashing the stock rom, although I can open recovery, I get the same message. The options I tried (both reboot options, both wipe options, power off) work. I went ahead and installed twrp through odin, which passed, but when I boot into recovery, it boots into samsung recovery (with the same message) and not twrp.
I'm guessing the twrp problem is related to the error message.

[Help] Bootloop after updating, usb debugging not enabled.

Using the miflash tool I flashed stock firmware (some version of android 8) after previously having a custom ROM installed. Everything worked fine until I rebooted after updating to the latest version using OTA.
My phone never got past the android one screen where it would freeze part way through, and after removing my sim card I could get to the pin unlock screen before the lock screen but after inputting the correct pin it would reboot and ask me for it again and again. I can get into fastboot fine but since usb debugging wasn't enabled and my bootloader is locked I can't reflash.
Booting into recovery also only brings me to a screen where the android mascot has a red triangle with an exclamation mark and a message saying "No command", so I can't factory reset.
Is there anything I can do to unlock the bootloader in this state or factory reset? (all flash tools and fastbooting into TWRP require the bootloader to be unlocked which in turn requires usb debugging to be activated)
Thanks for your time.
Update: I messed around with stuff on the cli based tissot tool and used option 2 to boot me into TWRP. It didn't do that but brought me into android where a system process kept repeatedly closing until a random factory reset happened.
I then got into normal android for a bit before I had to reboot (did remember to unlock the bootloader this time). I can now install twrp fine but every time I install the stock rom using miflash or try to install resurrection remix through twrp I get the same bootloop issue.
For some reason also my internal storage is completely empty no matter what i do so i need to sideload roms via sd card. And sometimes twrp gives me the error "failed to mount /system"
Trying the latest version of LineageOS next.
Update 2: if you have the same issue I had, the only working fix I've found is this restore point for twrp. Have not tried to update yet in case it breaks again but will make a final update with how that goes.
[SOLVED] Mi A1 BOOTLOOP

Note 7 stuck in bootloop after failed flashing attempt. Can't get into fastboot.

ood morning!
While attempting to flash a stock MIUI 10 ROM into my Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, to downgrade back to Android 9.0 due to some app compatilibty issue, I messed up big time and my phone is now stuck in a loop where the screen turns on, nothing shows up, then it restarts, going off for a few seconds and turning on again.
Power Button + Volume UP successfully brings me to the stock recovery 3.0 from xiaomi.
Power Button + Volume DOWN fails to bring me to the fastboot mode.
If I select the Connect with MIAssistant in the recovery the phone will show up as "sideloaded" after using the command adb devices, but the MIPCSuite app does not see it and the command adb restart bootloader also fails to bring up the fastboot mode, it just gets stuck in the loop again.
More context on what went wrong and caused this: I followed an online tutorial to flash a rom using the MIFlash app, so I unlocked the bootloader and tried to flash the rom usin xiaomi's tool. I got a failed to check sparse crc error code and it went downhill from there when I tried to fix things reading multiple threads on the issue. I tried deleting some lines from the flash_all.bat file and tried to flash it again but then the flashing process went seemingly forever so I aborted the operation and now this loop happens. I tried a few more times but with no success.
The first time I tried to use the tool I used the clean all and lock option so I'm not certain if the miflash tool locked the bootloader regardless of the outcome of the flashing attempt.
Is there hope? Can I fix this phone if I only have access to stock recovery and nothing else (although it shows up in adb devices but can't get into fastbootmode) ?
Thanks a lot to anyone who took the time to read and possibly help.
I finally managed to fix it through the Emergency Download Mode (EDL). It requires Xiaomi Authentication which I bypassed using this guide: https://www.droidwin.com/fix-mi-account-authorization-unbrick-xiaomi-edl-mode/
With that setup I flashed a stock rom using the MiFlash tool.
