Please fix half brick of my devices

Dear all,
I've used device name EBEN T4 (e人e本 T4 - from china). I rooted device and deleted/modified system. So, now it can not boot, it stuck at manufacter logo. I wiped data/factory reset or wipe cache but not success. So it need to be reflashed device roms.
Device allowed me to enter recovery mode and select update rom from zip file on SDCard (internal memory). I saved zip file on SDCard. BUT SDcard have so many folders and files in root folder, and zip file names "update.zip" - it means that it is on near last of list, and recovery limited number of line to view, so i could not browse to update file.

Device has Vol +/-, home, left, right, back, menu and power button. (Home + Power will bring me to recovery mode)
Device use CPU Freescale i.MX535, android 2.3.4, origional recovery system.
Please suggest me how to fix that by anyway.
P/S: I found that Back + Power will bring me to fastboot interface?
Need help so much
That's why you should backup your system before rooting etc. Do you have a stock image of your device?

Thank you for reply.
This is stock image: http://update.eben.cn/t4/update.zip
I found that my device could enter fastboot mode by press back + power button.
When connect usb, screen show:
[fastboot mode]
fastboot is in init......
fastboot transfer buffer: 0x0000000
flash <1 word i cant recoginze> is MMC: 1
USB Mini b cable Connected!
fastboot initialized
USB_SUSPEND
USB_RESET
USB_RESET
Windows device Manager (on WIndows 7 32bit) shows that device connect (ADB), i'm used to use many ADB universal driver (google, ClockworkMod). When i used "fastboot devices" command, it reponsed nothing.
Could i connect to fastboot to update file update.zip to device? If ok, how i connect?
Fastboot will give you nothing, mate. Try to set up the ADB and use adb sideload <path/to/zip> without "<>" or delete folders in recovery by going to adb shell and changing the dir by cd command and removing them by rm -r foldername.
Good luck.

All them installs trought odin
Find odin in google
Use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify to flash recovery in temporary root
Hi TechTex198,
good job but i think it's better to install directly the Twrp without Kingo and Flashify apk into phone, a best way with Odin.
It's possible to install SuperSU package under Kingo with some shell script but it's more harder especially on KitKat.
So to do:
- Boot into HRESET : Vdwn + Home + Power
- Odin: Load twrp.tar (vivalto3mveml3g) into PDA and set Auto Reboot then Start process
- Boot into RECOVERY : Vup + Home + Power (hold on Samsung logo)
- Install Update from SDCard: UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip (latest)
- Reboot

[Need help] (LG G Watch) Recovery not working, can't connect to pc...

I have an LG G Watch, ofcourse, but I have a few problems.
1. Some info (if it helps, I'm new to smartwatches):
Serial number: 04a3111c02a2006d
Build number: LCA43
Android Wear version: 1.3.0.2160025
Google play services version: 8.4.89 (2428711-534)
Android os version: 5.1.1
- I have (or should have - I can't get to it) TWRP recovery for the g watch:
https://twrp.me/devices/lggwatch.html
- I have (I'm guessing) succesfully rooted the watch:
m.pocketnow.com/2014/07/14/lg-g-watch-root (I didn't flash Gohma, just rooted using the guide)
- I have a custom kernel:
forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch/development/kernel-invisibleks-dory-kernel-t3082669
- I have ADB debugging enabled
- I have restarted the watch many times
- Oh and I have an unlocked bootloader
- Probably a **** ton of other stuff
2. The problems
- I can't get to Recovery mode, probably a problem with TWRP not working
- I can't factory reset my watch (It goes to fastboot menu intead of doing it automatically and when I want to choose Recovery menu it just restarts fastboot menu)
- I can't connect to pc (I have windows - It says the drivers are not installed correctly, I have been able to connect before)
- I can't re-pair with my phone, because in the app I removed the watch and the watch won't factory reset...
- I can actually use the watch normally, juat can't connect and stuff
I hope someone can help, if you have any info please tell me!

Have you tried to reset the watch from the Settings? And try to boot the TWRP recovery from fastboot, just type fastboot boot x.img (x=recovery file) (make sure that you removed the drivers and reinstall them again).

use another pc, install twrp from this forums.
Just do
fastboot erase data
and
fastboot erase cache
that is effectively a factory reset would look into why a normal factory reset isnt working thought

ACER LIQUID Z630 - System Update Loop / Can't boot

This phone is my brother's. He said he just downloaded a system update, I think it is OTA. And when update starts (from the stock recovery? not sure) It stucks at 50% progress bar, and it reboots. And update starts again, and reboots again. It won't boot even after removing battery, putting battery back on and turning the phone on, it persistently go back to loop update system. Should I flash it with a stock ROM? which one? The build no. I think is 1.0020? Can I flash the 1.050 one? Here is a pic of what's happening in a loop.

Follow this guide to reboot into recovery
http://www.hardreset.info/devices/acer/acer-liquid-z630/recovery-mode/
After entering recovery , try factory resetting your device.
This will reset all data.
If the above method didnt work , only option is to flash a Rom manually using SP Flash Tool
Stock Rom

Hello there. Please take a look at this guide by Shreps.
Download a compatible custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) for your device. Also download the firmware (ROM) for your device (list by Shreps). Please refer to the guide (there should be one). You would need to (a) Install necessary drivers, and (b) ADB and Fastboot interface (try this)
Copy the custom recovery image into the root folder of your ADB and Fastboot program. Copy the firmware to your device (via external sdcard since you cant copy directly into the internal sdcard).
Go to recovery via (a) volume up + power buttons, or if device accessible via ADB, (b) adb reboot recovery
In the recovery options, choose 'fastboot' (or simply, via adb: adb reboot bootloader)
Go to your terminal/cmd: fastboot devices - and see if your device is recognized
Then: fastboot boot "recovery.img" (replace "recovery" with the name of the recovery image)
In the recovery, navigate and select "Install" and select the firmware on the external sdcard. (wiki)
If you cant install via fastboot (bootloader must be unlocked first before using fastboot), then flash the rom via SP Flash tool (refer to the guide)

Soft brick, stock recovery, no downloadable ROM; use files from another mobiie?

Dear XDA Developers Users,
I have two STK Hero X mobiles. One of them is rooted and working (1), the second one is soft-bricked (2). I´m looking for a way how to unbrick the second one, maybe using the first one.
Both mobiles: No official or custom ROM available, no custom recovery available, rooted using KingRoot, Android 5.1, MTK6735P chipset.
The working one (1): Can use ADB, Fastboot, Dev options, stock recovery
The bricked one (2): Can only get to recovery, fastboot. Bootloader locked. Freezes at the STK logo during booting. I had removed a few system apps using System App Remover: AVG antivirus or Chrome. In recovery, there is a root integrity check. A few files are modified (2; because of root, I suppose, including /system/bin/app_process64), missing (7; antivirus), and new (13 of them). It´s the Android System Recovery <3e> which looks like that (not a my photo):

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What I´ve tried (2)
- Factory reset using recovery (/data, /cache). Still feezes at the logo during booting (two hours).
- Create a ZIPme recovery from the working one (1) with system apps. In the recovery (2), the ZIP is loaded via SD card and suddenly interrupted with no reason. (Battery charged.) Tried with two different ZIPme recoveries.
- Create a FlashFire ROM brackup (1). Can´t because of the KingRoot. Supersume Pro didn´t help. Source: https://www.xda-developers.com/chainfires-flashfire-can-now-create-fastboot-flashable-backups/
- Create a complete ADB backup (1), and restore it (2). Well, wasn´t possible because the ADB in recovery (2) doesn´t support adb restore. Source: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351¨
- Unlock the bootloader (1). I can´t boot the OS and allow OEM via Dev tools. Unlocking with Fastboot fails. Source: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/unlock-bootloader-via-fastboot-android/
- Port a TWRP recovery and then simply use a recovery from (1). Well, I can´t unlock the bootloader. Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2798257
- Create a complete nandroid backup (1). I can´t restore it using the stock recovery. Source: https://www.informationlord.com/create-nandroid-backup-without-cwmcustom-recovery/
I will be grateful for any idea how to make my mobile (2) boot into Android. Maybe using the files from the working one (1), restoring the partitions? In the recovery (2), there is a backup user data option. The mobile has a 16GB storage, and after a factory reset, the backup user data needs around 12GB of free space on SD card. Since there is no user data, is it possible it includes the system files somehow?
