Hello!
I have a HTC One X (EU-version), and it's unlocked.
I used to have Android Revolution HD ROM installed, and would try a new kernel. So I downloaded the new faux kernel (faux_004b5_arhd_7.0.0_modified.img)
Somehow it didn't work, and my phone keep restarting. So I go to the recovery mode, and tried to reinstall the ROM, without whip.
After that I made a reboot, my phone keep reboot. Now I can't go to the recovery mode, either can I flash my device.
I really don't know what to do now.
I hope someone can help, and I posted in the right section.

I had that problem before too. If the "hold power button for 10 seconds then press volume down and power buttons simultaneously" doesn't work, download Quick Boot from playstore and it would allow you to choose to either Reboot, boot to recovery, or the bootloader
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
trick is to run 'adb reboot bootloader' or 'adb reboot recovery'.

When I hold the power button and volume down for 10 secounds, I come to the fastboot menu.
How can I download Quick Boot, when I don't have acces to my memory. I can't see what I have on my memorycard (obs. because I can't go to the recovery part), either can't connect to the computer, since I'm in a bootloop.
I'm afraid while I was doing this stuff, my battery was low. But it didn't die under the process.
Tyvm for the reply, but I can't install the quick boot.

Can you please explain more?
My Skype is: Dichatz, if a awesome soul could help me there, it would be the greatest thing ever. I'm afraid of that my HTC One X has seen the daylight for the last time
Ty both for the reply.
EDIT: I followed my friends advise, and tried to erase fastboot cache, which seems not able do to. I just getting the message: < waiting for device >.
Dear God, what have I done with my phone!
Dear OP, I believe there is a solution. This situation has occurred with my device more than once. I too believed I had lost it until it resolved itself. There are several things you can do to ensure it works again. I wiped the ROM on my phone before the problem began, so I was stuck with a dead phone until I found a way to get recovery to work again. If it's possible, enter Fastboot and install a new kernel onto it, and THEN use fastboot erase cache. If that is not a viable option, make sure the USB wire is not plugged in when the device boots. By this I mean holding down the lower volume button and initializing the menu that allows you to select Fastboot, Recovery, Factory Reset and other command options. Once the device boots into the menu, you may then plug in the cable and enter Fastboot mode. If none of the above work, let the battery deplete itself until device turns off. Once you have done that, plug it into the wall charger, and then volume down and power up. If the device says something like "reading SD card", disconnect the USB and the menu will fully load. That is when you select Fastboot. Keep the device on, plug it into the pc and send your kernel commands to your device. Ensure that you also erase the cache via Fastboot. Your device should now be fully operational. I hope I was able to help.
Have found myself in a similar position, all the following assumes you're using windows as you desktop OS...
To double check your recovery is broken, get into fastboot mode (power on while holding volume down), use volume down to highlight "hboot" then press the power button to select. Then press volume down to highlight "recovery" and press power button to select. If that works, then recovery is fine, just go ahead as you normally would to recover the system.
If you can't get into recovery then you have a slight problem.
Since you can get the device into fastboot mode, the priority is to get it to talk to your PC. Get the device into fastboot (power on while holding the volume down button). Once you're into fastboot, plug in the USB cable and verify the connection to your device using the following command :
Code:
fastboot devices
This should show you a single entry for your device. If it doesn't show anything, then unplug the device, download the naked driver pack (available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161769) and unpack it into a sensible location. Plug the device back in, if it can't install software automatically or nothing appears you may have to use device manager to update the driver for the device. Find its entry in the device tree (it will probably be listed as an unknown device), RMB on its entry in device tree then select "Update Driver Software..." from the menu that appears, tell it to search automatically then point it at the location where you unpacked the naked driver pack. That should sort out any misconceptions windows has about not being able to talk to the phone.
Once you have fastboot access, you can reflash clockworkmod. You can obtain the latest version here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
flash from fastboot using the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Once flashed, unplug the usb cable.
Use the volume up and down to highlight "hboot" on the fastboot menu, then press the power button to select. Once in the hboot menu, scroll to the "recovery" menu item and press power again to select. You should find yourself in familiar territory at this point.

EDIT : Sorry, it's nearly 2am here, I'm very tired and I've just re-read your initial post. If you've flashed a custom kernel then you MUST have fastboot access (or it's subsequently broken). Download your ROM (if you haven't already got a copy on your PC) and extract boot.img from it. Get into fastboot mode (vol down + power on) and plug into your PC. Do the following :
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Unplug USB cable, use vol up/ down to highlight "REBOOT" then press power to select.If you get stuck in a bootloop, you can try going into recovery via fastboot (select "hboot" from the fastboot menu then "recovery" from the hboot menu), then select "erase cache", then go to "advanced" and "wipe dalvik cache". Then go back and reboot the device. See if that helps. If not, then go back to recovery using the aforementioned method and re-install your rom, then erase cache and wipe dalvik cache.
Thanks for replies.

Yes, I was dumb, started at low battery level, even tho, everywhere says: Make sure you have more than 70 %.
I can't wipe, or install anything, since it's recovery mode that doesn't work
Atm., I charge my phone, because I need to have 10 %, I use "Stuck in fastboot with low battery. Use this BATCH file!" guide. So far it works.

If that doesn't work, I will take closer look at your reply. No matter what, thank you very very very very much. I'm sure that reply will help some soul outthere (if not me, if it fail).
Thank you guys. You are the best. I will be right back here if I find a solution!
Tip: try 'Quick Boot' available on Google Playstore, it's a payed app but
it let you go straight into recovery mode.

I could't turn my device on, so I could't install any programs.
Anyway, after 6 hours work, I finally got it.
I use that guide ^, so I could charge my phone to 10%, and installed new Kernel.

Hey, I am having similar problem with my htc one x here. I did some stupid stuff, tried to install jelly bean and now my device is broken.,
So the thing is, phone is stuck at HTC logo, I cant access recovery mode. And my phone now says tempered and relocked at the top so I cant get it fixed with my carrier which is rogers.
I tried installing RUU for rogers but it says image error and wrong ruu. I can't find the right one and trust me i've searched everywhere.
I can connect my phone to computer and see fastboot usb. But other than that I can't do anything with it.
I tried flashing cwm but it says failed. I'll attach image here with it.
If there is any way to fix it, please help, I just bought this device and I love it, dont wanna lose it.
Also, I read that I can add custom recovery to the phone but without recovery menu I can't do that either.
Thanks!

On my HTC One V I unlock bootloader and rooted it successfully. It was working fine, but about 1-2 weeks later, when I was chatting with my friends on Messenger, it was starting to lag like hell until i couldn't do antyhing. I tried to turn it off and on with the power button. When I turned it on, firstly the logo "Quietly Brilliant" appeared and then...there was just a black screen. The phone was still turned on, but just with a black screen.. a slightly lighter black screen. I tried to turn it on and of. I can go to fast boot mode with Volume down+power button. I tried factory reset, but there was still the black screen. I send it to the manufacture, but they said, that the hardware is destroyed, because I've changed it. I think they mean I changed it with root and unlocking the bootloader...but I think that's not true? I don't think root or unlocking bootloader can change hardware. Yet I tried to unroot and relock the bootloader, but I can't do It if I can't connect my phone to my pc anymore. So my questions are:
1)How could I change the hardware?
2)How can I connect my phone to pc?
3)Is there a way to save my phone?
4)How does the manufacture know, that my phone is rooted when it can't be turned on, or connected to pc
5)Do they just lie about the hardware, so I must pay for it?
first of all, are you gsm or cdma? (do you have a sim?) If you can access bootloader, then you can fix your phone (99,9% of times). all you need to do is flash another rom with the correct kernel

Yes, I have s sim..so I have gsm i think? Right now, the manufacture is sending me back my phone. What is the bootloader exactly? Do you mean the combination of the keys volume down+power button?
If yes and I can acces to bootloader, how can I flash the rom with the correct kernel? Does it mean, my phone will be back to normal like it was at the start?
If I can't acces to bootloader, is there still a way to repair my phone?
btw I can't connect my phone to my pc...at least It didn't worked.
Don't worry, when you get back your phone tell me. If you can access your bootloader we will get your phone back to normal :thumbup:

Hey sorry I have to go to school now.. I'll write a little guide as soon as I come back, be patient. In order you have to unlock and root (if you haven't done it already), flash a recovery (I suggest twrp recovery, you can find it in android development or original android development-This also only if you don't have that already), factory reset from recovery, mount usb storage, copy rom to your phone, unmount, flash the rom, reboot into bootloader and flash the correct kernel found in the rom thread. This should work. I'll give you a hit when I get back tough.

Its bootloader is unlocked and it's rooted. Now for the recovery i found this:
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/119
They say I should download the newest recovery img, access bootloader, select fastboot, plug the device into computer and run the command:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img into command prompt right?
Yes its right. Then you boot into recovery, and mount usb storage and with the pc copy a rom into the sd card, then unmount, from the recovery go to wipe - > factory reset, once it's done go to install and select the zip of the rom. When it's done, go back to the home page of recovery, and from there press reboot bootloader. Now do fastboot, and from the pc, put kernel in fastboot folder (the same place where you put your recovery to flash it), open cmd and type fastboot flash boot nameofkernel.img, wait for it to complete, reboot and enjoy!

I think you should download firmware for your mobile and flash it.Put the firmware in sdcard/dload/update.app.Now press insert sd card and press vol+ vol- and power button.
Install firmware and also go to recovery mode and wipe cache :highfive:
Hope this works !!
Thanks dear. It worked.

Hope this works !!

Hi, I have the same problem and I followed your instructions but while the new firmware is installing from the sd card, the phone shut down.
It seems like it has no sufficient power to finish the operation. In fact I tried to plug the phone to charge the battery and that don't work...at least the led is not on (but I'm pretty sure it's not charging).
After that the only things I can do is to power on again and see the boot loop.
Any idea on how to solve?
Thanks.

Shutdown or reboots? The op said that was a G510 and this is the P6 forum
Probably you have the recovery corrupted, you need to reflash stock recovery again via fastboot
THIS IS FOR THE Ascend P6, NOT for the G510

Shutdown. Then if I press the power button or simply I plug the phone to charge the battery, start again to bootloop.
Can you please tell me how to do?

It happens the same to me, but I don't know how to do.
I'm a newbie and I'm not familiar with this command...could you kindly explain what I have to do step by step?
I posted you fastboot noob-friendly tutorials
1st you need fastboot installed and P6 and fastboot drivers
Asumming you already have downloader the image and you are in windows, open a cmd promp and navigate (using cd command) to your fastboot directory, place recovery_original_flashable.img in this folder. If your phone is shutdown, hold vol- and plug the usb cable (if it's continuous rebooting, hold vol- and power button until phone reboots and kernel logo come up)
Type on the cmd promt: fastboot devices , if you see under devices attached, ??????????? or numbers and letters, your phone is connected into fastboot mode
If you don't have this, check if the drivers was correctly installed.
With the phone connected in fastboot mode, type in the cmd promt: fastboot flash recovery recovery_original_flashable.img
After this command finish, type fastboot reboot and enter into the default recovery and try to update the system
I not guarantee the exit of this operation, this solved my problem, but maybe yours not. If you aren't sure, ask here or send phone to your repair center

I am using Huawei G 510-0200 in Pakistan. I had rooted my cell phone and was converting a user app into system app via Titanium backup. The process was taking long time so force closed Titanium Backup app. This caused phone crash and it restarted and hung up at huawei logo.
Now i tried factory data reset and clearing cache in Power and Volume + key mode. It did not work. I tried applying update (two different roms, one custom pakistani rom and other was normal g510-0200 rom) in the same mode but it shows installation aborted.
I tried Forced Firmware Update mode too. I placed update.app file in the sd card and restarted cell phone by holding Volume+, Volume- and Power key. In that mode, it shows unpacking Step 1/2 for a while and then instead of installing, it shows Update Failed.
Error log shows this:
filename = /mmc1/dload/update.app call RCV_MODULE_END_EVENT failed,module = OEMSBL_VER_LIST CMD=0xf,moduleaddr = 0xd2000000, len_tmp=0x4000
I have tried everywhere and I'll be really greatful if you can sort this out for me. :crying:

Disconnect your phone from PC/Laptop.. Power it off.
Once it is off, hold down the volume up button and hold on to the power button until the phone vibrates.
After the vibration stops, release the power button and continue pressing the volume up button until the
green Android robot appears. You should see a blue line below saying "Waiting Fastboot command"
Now connect your phone via USB to your computer.
At the flashtools folder press Shift + Right Click.. Then select "Open command here"...
Copy and paste the following commands in the command prompt window (line by line) and press enter after each line. WAIT for the process to complete before copying and pasting the next line:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
THANKZZZ BRO!!! ... at first it did not work ... i rebooted 3x but it stll gave me dead android error ... then I plugged it into my PC while phone off, powered on, and it booted android ... yay!!!
Now I need to fix constant random reboot error ... ever had this problem?
PS - did u ever have this reboot problem? I actually was typing a new thread while my ZF2 came back to life
2) My ZF2 is Stock / Unrooted / Locked Bootloader (I never f*cked with any of that)
My phone was randomly restarting, so I decided to Factory Reset it. Went to (stock) recovery, but decided to wipe cache first (to avoid bricking the phone)

So I decided to do a factory reset, erase all data. During the process, it got stuck on "erasing". Left it overnight, for NINE HOURS, still stuck.
I can boot into fastboot mode, but I CAN'T GO INTO RECOVERY MODE. When I select "recovery mode" (by choosing the option with volume keys and then selecting with power button), it just boots back into the "erasing" dialog.
I've installed the driver from Intel, but I can't get ADB to recognize my device. Does it have to be in recovery mode to recognize the device, or should it recognize in just fastboot mode?
Kind of at a loss here. Honestly, this kind of sounds like the dreaded Nexus 7 brick problem from earlier this year.
P.S. am I using the correct vocabulary here? Fastboot is the menu where you choose the boot method, and recovery mode is where you can choose to restore to factory settings or flash a new image?
EDIT: IT FIXED ITSELF. I just had to let it sit for like 15 hours. It's ridiculous that it took that long.

Haha whaaaat? 14? That's crazy. I might try it though, I'm running out of options. I'm trying to clear the bootloader cache and reflash the firmware via fastboot, but I keep getting "FAILED" messages that say I don't have permission. I can't do **** with this phone right now.

The same happened to me. In htcmania (an Spanish web like xda) there's a tutorial that worked for me:
ht tp://w ww.htcmania. com/showthread. php?t=1028393 (erase the spaces)
You don't have to follow all the steps. Just run the indicated cwm bat, wipe cache and reboot. It worked for me and without losing any data. I hope it helps you. If you have any question about the language, send me a message.
The solution for the OP and me was to simply wait it out. As LiquidPlacidity said, it can take over 12 hours for this to complete, it seems to take longer the more data you have on the device. OP messaged me saying it took them 12 hours, as LiquidPlacidity said it took them 14 hours, and for me it took a total of 22 hours to complete. My device was nearly full, but this is unforgivable on the part of Asus, they really need to fix this.
This happened to me I flashed recovery.img stock firmware recovery I downgraded to unlock bootloader then tried it again and it done it in 10mins
Just an update for anybody that finds this thread: I just had to let it sit for a stupidly long time. Like, maybe fifteen hours. I found somebody else that had to let it sit for 22 hours.
Any update to this problem !

I bought an Asus phone same like you and the same problem is happening ! USB debugging < I satule you
Solution found !
I've found a solution for this problem
All you need to find is a same device which is normal or BUY a new one ! OR BEG,Borrow, or steal from a friend
Find a asus zenfone 2 from a friend and enable usb debugging
Download intel driver
Just google it
Download Abd driver installer from the link bellow
Just google it
Just enable the usb debugging mode from the phone which you found
Open the adb driver intaller and fetch the abd driver directly from the installer for your asus phone
After that, download the following adb interface
Google it like " Abd interface for asus fastboot"
Then, extract the file , hold shift and right click the folder you will see a option in cmd option
Click that and a cmd window will be opened
Turn off your phone
Hold volume up and power button
After the phone vibrates realease from power button and keep holding volume up button
Boot loader will open and press volume up until you see "continue in fastboot mode"
Keep it the mode and connect your device to pc
It will directly intstall usb driver and adb driver after that
Just go back to your pc and type "fastboot format cache" and the process will continue
You will know when the process is over from the cmd in your pc
After that reboot your phone and you will still see the error
Click power and volume up button and the recovery mode will apear
Just wipe your data and every thing is going to be ALRIGHT
It is turning off after 10 minutes, how can I make it to 15 hours if it is turning off.. ?
have the same problem with my device too... i removed my battery once because i couldnt boot into recovery mode without turning it off...but its still in the erasing screen...will removing the battery cause any problem?
It's actually helps

Same happened to me, but i found the way to fix it quickly. First of all i have find out that to properly wipe zenfone 2 , you have to firs wipe it from android software by going to Settings - Backup & reset - Factory data reset, and then wipe it from recovery menu and it will wipe it with normal speed it still will take 10-15 minutes but it's not 22 damn hours!!!
SO, The thing is that you still can get in fastboot mode and if you'll connect device to PC it will detect it. To get in fastboot you have to turn off your device(to do that you need to hold button "volume up" + "power" button, hold them untill phone is turned off,while you doing that the phone must be disconnectet from PC or it woun't turn off) then you press and hold "volume up" button and press and hold "power" button untill you feel the double vibrating and then you gonna let go the "power" button but still hold "volume up" button and then the menu will apear on the screen, you are in fastboot mode.
At this moment i'm sure that you have all Android (and official asus)drivers installed and all platfom-tools installed so i'm not gonna tell how to install it and i'm expecting that you know how to use platform-tools.
So... you go to cmd and from there to adb(usualy you do it by typing: cd c:\adb ) make sure that fastboot.exe is in adb folder, if not then download fastboot.exe and copy it in adb folder, then you type : ' fastboot devices' to see if PC deteced device you'll get 'F4AZFG04X560 fastboot' and it means that device is detected, then you type :
- ' fastboot format cache' wait till it's done
- 'fastboot erase userdata -w' wait till it's done
- 'fastboot erase system' wait till it's done
- 'fastboot erase recovery' wait till it's done
By doing all of these commands you're kind of doing factory reset by yourself.
Then you put recovery.img(recovery.img from OTA "older" than you had... if you had 165 then you take 164 or 139, or even OTA 97, it worked for me fine) and last firmware, for zenfone2 (from official asus site) in folder with adb and rename firware to 'update.zip' then run cmd from this folder and you can check if PC detected your device, by using command ' fastboot devices' and you'll see something like 'F4AZFG04X560 fastdoot' than you type command: ' fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' than you'll see :
" C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (16384 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.684s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.506s]
finished. total time: 1.193s'
then you choose recovery menu, by pressing "volume down" button, then phone boots it recovery mode and you see little droidbot "error", then you press and hold "power" button and press "volume up" button apears recovery menu, choose "apply update from adb", device is still connected to PC(if not, connect it), type in adb : ' adb sideload update.zip' wait till it's done(about 20-30 mitutes you'll see load in cmd)when it's done choose reboot in recovery menu... that's all.
P.S. sorry for my English it's not my native language.

Now what should i do to make it quick?
It is really really bad. It is taking very long time.

Turn off device and follow by steps o described
what i do when the phone stuck on erasing :
1. At least wait for 30 minutes and make sure you have 60%+ battery before resetting or erasing the phone.
2. Turn off by pressing power till the phone turn off
3. Go to recovery mode by pressing volume + and power button together, and then select recovery by pressing volume + or volume -, the press power button to confirm it.
4. Done. It will continue erasing, but it just take 1-2 minutes then the phone will reboot.
I'm just sharing what i have done when this happen. If something happen to your phone, don't blame me

Hi, im having different issue than what was originally posted, but thought to give it a try the steps you described.
my problem is that my son forgot his pin code on the phone and has not a secondary method to unlock it, so i knew that i can just do a hard reset thru recovery mode and will be ok. but when i access to recovery mode only shows 3 options -reboot system -update via adb and -update via sd card. and is not showing the wipe/erase data option.
so i tried to follow your steps here all was good until writing on command
'fastboot erase recovery'
this is what i get back :
erasing 'recovery' ...
FAILED (remote: unable to format)
finished. total time : 0.891s
what can i do? either to continue with your steps or to do the hard reset on the phone?
thanks for any response

EDIT: IT FIXED ITSELF. I just had to let it sit for like 15 hours. It's ridiculous that it took that long.

Guys? My phone didn't fix itself. It has been 29 HOURS. And nothing is happening.

Somebody else said it took 22 hours. So as ridiculous as it sounds, I think you should keep waiting. Try not to interrupt the process by restarting, we're not sure if it picks up where it left off.
If you don't have a backup phone or can't stand waiting, I would check to see if it's still under warranty and maybe do an RMA. You could just buy a phone with a 30 day return policy and just return it if this phone finally starts working again.
Hi
I have the same problem. It has been 28 Hours!
I can't access to Recovery Mode

Same happened to me, but i found the way to fix it quickly. First of all i have find out that to properly wipe zenfone 2 , you have to firs wipe it from android software by going to Settings - Backup & reset - Factory data reset, and then wipe it from recovery menu and it will wipe it with normal speed it still will take 10-15 minutes but it's not 22 damn hours!!!
SO, The thing is that you still can get in fastboot mode and if you'll connect device to PC it will detect it. To get in fastboot you have to turn off your device(to do that you need to hold button "volume up" + "power" button, hold them untill phone is turned off,while you doing that the phone must be disconnectet from PC or it woun't turn off) then you press and hold "volume up" button and press and hold "power" button untill you feel the double vibrating and then you gonna let go the "power" button but still hold "volume up" button and then the menu will apear on the screen, you are in fastboot mode.
At this moment i'm sure that you have all Android (and official asus)drivers installed and all platfom-tools installed so i'm not gonna tell how to install it and i'm expecting that you know how to use platform-tools.
So... you go to cmd and from there to adb(usualy you do it by typing: cd c:\adb ) make sure that fastboot.exe is in adb folder, if not then download fastboot.exe and copy it in adb folder, then you type : ' fastboot devices' to see if PC deteced device you'll get 'F4AZFG04X560 fastboot' and it means that device is detected, then you type :
- ' fastboot format cache' wait till it's done
- 'fastboot erase userdata -w' wait till it's done
- 'fastboot erase system' wait till it's done
- 'fastboot erase recovery' wait till it's done
By doing all of these commands you're kind of doing factory reset by yourself.
Then you put recovery.img(recovery.img from OTA "older" than you had... if you had 165 then you take 164 or 139, or even OTA 97, it worked for me fine) and last firmware, for zenfone2 (from official asus site) in folder with adb and rename firware to 'update.zip' then run cmd from this folder and you can check if PC detected your device, by using command ' fastboot devices' and you'll see something like 'F4AZFG04X560 fastdoot' than you type command: ' fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' than you'll see :
" C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (16384 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.684s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.506s]
finished. total time: 1.193s'
then you choose recovery menu, by pressing "volume down" button, then phone boots it recovery mode and you see little droidbot "error", then you press and hold "power" button and press "volume up" button apears recovery menu, choose "apply update from adb", device is still connected to PC(if not, connect it), type in adb : ' adb sideload update.zip' wait till it's done(about 20-30 mitutes you'll see load in cmd)when it's done choose reboot in recovery menu... that's all.
P.S. sorry for my English it's not my native language.

I'm into the multi hour format thing of hell, i wonder why u must have to erase system and recovery, shouldnt it be enough to format userdata and cache? why do u do everything else? , in any case where do u get the official recovery? i dont wanna mod the phone, i wanna get OTA updates in the future.
