I could be mistaken, but I believe the sequence is:
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img

sorry but i can't see a way out.have you bootloader unlocked? if you have bootloader locked you could use warranty.say to asus you just did an ota and then phone bricked.dont use the word brick say just it won't power on.approach is the key in this cases.approach to them like a total noob.call them,don't email them.if you are young,let someone older to talk,a relative or someone like this and give to him a text to follow.is difficult to think a noob thinks to do some difficult moves as root,unlocking bootloader....they think "this is a noob.he never thinked to root or modify phone" .so they can think your seller sold to you a rooted device (updating with root takes to brick,bootloop etc.) and so maybe they will give to you a new phone.if it not power on they cant see if it is rooted or not.for me it's your only option.you did a great mess.you flashed file in the wrong order right? not followed this order ?

use flash tool again and flash proper ftf file in flashmode if it is not flashing then connect mobile in fastboot mode and blue light will come up then use fastboot mode (click thunder icon then fastboot after light is blue)then select kernel and flash it after that again flash full ftf in flash mode

remove batery after 10 seconds place it. now open flashtool and select correct firmware then flash. it shows preparing device. after 1 min it says to "connect phone in flash mode"
now only you have to connect your phone to pc it's important for bootloop devices.
press and hold volume down + connect usb
phone led turns into green

well make sure you install drivers for fast boot else it wont work
drivers are in flash tool folder C:\Flashtool\drivers in my case its here if you have used default settings look and install and select fastboot from list when installing
Download any ROM (Best is Cyongen or LiquidSmoooth)
Download a rom and boot your phone into fastboot mode and install .zip file.THAT'S IT :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:.Hit thanks button if I helped you
Bro if you have C2004 means I am ready to give my nandroid backup you can easily restore with Cwm no worries about flash mode other model means pls specify model no I will try...

Can't enter recovery 551ml...Z00A

Hi
Problem is that I can't enter recovery. I am able to enter fastboot menu, but when I'm choosing recovery mode, phone like restarts and goes again to fastboot menu...no recovery mode or dead bot with error comes. Below is blue writing "continue the fastboot process".
This happened after I tried to install twrp through twrp manager...it was installing twrp and said that install succesful.
Also tried fastboot command "fastboot clear cache", but nothing.
So, you didn't unlock the bootloader and removed your recovery...
1st thing, go to bootloader mode, download the recovery for your version of Android, eg 2.20.40.168, and flash through fastboot on the PC.
Put phone in fastboot (bootloader mode) - I'm assuming of course you have the latest Intel drivers and the flashing tools - and through the CMD interface (agasin flashing tools) type "fastboot devices". If you did it right then you'll see you serial number...
Now, in the same folder as the fastboot tools, have the recovery.img ready and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
You should now have recovery again...
2. If you haven't done so, lookup how to unlock bootloader before trying this again and do it. Make sure everything goes as it says, particularly important the splashscreen that says ASUS turns white, and you should be ok to flash TWRP though I use PC as I find everything seems to work.
Yes, it was my mistake, i didn't unlock bootloader and tried to flash twrp.
Now i can Go into fastboot and phone connects to pc easily.
But so far i didn't found recovery image for 2.20.40.174 fw.
But can you confirm that it's possible now to use one click bootloader unlock and then flash twrp? Without flashing stock recovery.

You can use This Apk to unlock bootloader.
Once unlocked it will reboot and show white splashscree,then you are ready to use twrp.
Try it
If you go to the pre-rooted rom thread you can download ALL the img files - rom, recovery,boot and droidboot.img. I'm pretty sure 174 was there in the Mega link at the top of the 1st post...
Just download the recovery.img as that's what you need...
Ok, thanks to all. Now bootloader is unlocked, twrp installed and installed rom blisspop. Great phone when there is no bloatware.
Sent from my ASUS_Z00A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Cool, glad you got your toy working again...
Same issue as sir Jaguar
Already installed .img trough adb says succesfully installed
When i go to recovery mode no deadbot no white splash screen load.
Tried the asus unlocking tool provided by the asus and the same link provided by sir Ultima still no good results.
Im already at 174 fw
Tried the twrp apk
Tried flashify
Tried diffrent kind of .img
Tried to re install the image using ADB
Still no good results
I think its the bootloader that has the problem.
Guys plz help tnx
thank you for your hard work!! love it
you can try to reflash the corresponding version of stock recovery.img

Bricked G4 H815, I have Download Mode

Dear Sir,
I have Download mode but my device not detected in download mode. I have G2 is working very well but my G4 not working.
I have installed a new ROM then I get black screen and my G4 is restarting every 10 sec.
I used the original cable for G4.
Can someone help me.
@vn_mobile @bender_007 @BySezerSimsek
Can you elaborate with more details - which rom, what was the system etc..etc..
Can you try to enter recovery mode? (hold volume down and power and keep holding)
Anyway if the rom broke "something" it wouldn´t break the recovery partition...

1- My software was Stock 5.0 then I have rooted then install Genisys Rom 4.3.
2- No recovery mode because I flashed ( Fastboot flash twrp-2.8.7.0-h815.img) I forgot recovery and should be (Fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-h815.img).
Explain please how did you boot recovery. Did you do fastboot boot twrp-*.img ?
Can you take a photo of the download mode?
Try the lg mobile support tool rather than the lgup then, just to see what happens. (Or lg bridge)

Zenfone 2 bootloop

Hi, today I tried to install cm13 on my zenfone 2 (Z00AD), I tried to install the twrp recovery on both recovery and boot but I couldn't access the recovery (in the fastboot if I clicked on "normal boot" or "recovery mode" the phone just rebooted into the fastboot), the adb was still working so I tried to flash the droidboot.img, the boot.img and the recovery.img from an original asus rom, after that the phone started to bootloop, I can't even access the fastboot pressing power+volume_up, what can I do to unbrick my phone? Thanks in advance
If the phone is stuck in bootloader, you can use Asus Flash Tool to flash .raw files and unbrick the phone.
Raw files: https://yadi.sk/d/FijRoAVJtvRiG
AFT: https://yadi.sk/d/NQCiY--IsQjBr (I use AsusFlashToolInstaller1.0.0.14.exe).

There is no download mode , just boot loader to flash via fastboot.
You are bricked if no boot loader.
Lots of unbricking threads around here
