*im not developer, neither noob i just like to share what I know*
Maybe this is a noob guide, but i did my best to share something helpful
before you go deeper, be sure to check your phone able to get into fastboot mode. If you cant, use REAL unbrick method instead
If your phone soft or hard bricked, bootloop, stuck on logo etc you know you are f***ed unless you know what should to do.
Some time ago bootlooped my phone, but i cant go to recovery, cant ADB because I forgot to enable USB debugging, my computer wont recognize my phone poperly because my phone mad at me, and my phone flickering like hell *party hard*. Maybe this is a brick not bootloop but whatever
Good friend of mine tell me what should to do
What you need:
Working PC with minimal ADB and fastboot installed //see the thread here, your phone's USB and ADB driver installed //download here if you dont have it
Working USB DATA cable
Custom recovery everything will do, as long as its compatible with your current android version. Rename the img to recovery.img
ROM you prefer everything will do, as long as its compatible with your current android version. Move to your SD Card
The power of will
Step:
1. Make sure your phone is turned off
2. Boot into fastboot mode, you will see some chinese message
3. Plug your phone to to your PC
4. Check if your PC at least know that you are pluged in your phone (check via device manager by 'plug and un-plug' your phone and check for 'appear and disappear' device , mine listed as it is was a modem.)
5. Move the recovery.img inside minimal adb and recovery folder root usually under c:/programfiles directory
6. Run the minimal adb and fastboot, check your device by using /adb devices/ command without backslash
7. If your device is not listed, dont worry. We still able to use the fastboot
8. Boot your phone into recovery mode by using /fastboot boot recovery.img/ command without backslash
9. Wait for few secs, and your phone should touched down to recovery mode.
10. Do wipe (data, dalvik, cache, system, internal)
11. Flash your prefered ROM
12. ..........???
13. Profit
Troubleshooting:
If your PC unable to recognize your phone completely, try using another usb cable, usb ports, uninstall-reinstall, plug-unplug, and make sure your phone in fastboot mode before you plug your phone to the PC.
Feel free to critics, I hope this helped you :fingers-crossed:

You may need to check some things:
Your PC actually know that you have inserted your phone. It doesn't have to know it's a phone (so it can be detected as unknown device or something similar, mine is detected as a modem)
Your phone is indeed in fastboot mode, you can tell yours is in fastboot mode by a Chinese message at the bottom of the screen
Change your cable data, make sure it is a cable data, not a normal charging cable

The same issue. I think it's about getting it recognized in Fastboot mode. It's recognized in Android but not in Fastboot. All new devices are installed including those you get in Diagnostic 9091 mode (Power+V+). What do I need for Fastboot mode?

So, I have CyanogenMod 7.0.3 Stable flashed in my Legend, and it's been working just fine. Until couple days ago when I made some theme changes through Theme Chooser and flashed some theme add-ons. Now the phone is acting just stupidly. It's in a bootloop (sometimes loops in HTC bootscreen, sometimes in the CyanogenMod bootscreen), usb connectivity doesn't work (fastboot usb works, adb/mass storage etc. doesn't). I have tried to wipe the phone and flash that rom/recovery again through fastboot, but fastboot says "remote: not allowed" or something like that. Bootloader works, fastboot works, even recovery works but it's no use 'cause adb driver doesn't recognize the phone.
Please guys, help me. What should I do to get my phone running again? (working CyanogenMod or even a stock without root, I don't care, I just want this thing up and running again)
EDIT: And the weird thing is, that couple times I was able to boot the phone normally using recovery by just sticking the usb cable into the phone. And also, couple times I was able to boot it normally by just using fastboot reboot (I was able to get to the HTC Setup screen and then it would crash and show just black screen with notification bar)
It's possible the you're USB bricked. A quick search of "USB unbrick" should bring the required thread to light (search in development)

Yeah, I have thought of that! Only problem is that how am I supposed to get the required files (flash_image and .img) to SD card without a way to manage SD card? Can I flash the image using fastboot?
I can't do it inside the phone 'cause I'm in a bootloop and can't boot the phone.
EDIT: Is there a chance to do a wipe and flash a new rom using only fastboot or something?
In theory you can flash without recovery, but only if you're S-OFF. You'll need the ROM in .img format too.
I used a microSD to SDCard reader to transfer the files., they're fairly cheap in high street stores. Or borrow a friends Android phone

Well, am I able to flash those files once they are in the SD card? I mean with S-ON cause I don't have S-OFF?
Or is my phone a complete brick? =( Cause I'm pretty much all out of ideas..
Once you've got the files needed for a USB unbrick on your SD card you'll be fine
if you have recovery access did you try to make apply update from SD card in order to pass in cwm recovery.
if you got a USB brick you can use a multifonction printer to mount your SD on your computer.
So in a nutshell, my problems are:
- My Legend is in a bootloop
- Apparently my phone is USB bricked cause only fastboot works
- I don't have a recovery, when I go manually into recovery (recovery -> POWER + VOL UP) it goes into stock recovery
- And also my phone is S-ON
Could you guys point me into the right direction with this, I really want my phone back working. What should I do?
When you get to the stock recovery, navigate to ans select "flash update.zip from SDcard" That should get you to ClockworkMOD. Once there you'll need to use ADB to push the files required for the USB unbrick procedure to the SDcard (adb push [files-on-pc] /sdcard/) You should no be able to perform the the USB unbrick.
You may need your phone plugged into a PC for it to boot

But I'm getting this blue recovery screen with only four options instead of the original green one including option to flash zip. So wtf has happened?
EDIT: In the blue recovery screen it says Can't open cache/recovery/command. And when I choose "apply sdcard:update.zip" it says "signature verification failed" and it aborts the installation.
Fakeflash.

So I am able to flash roms only using this menu? Am I correct? Just do a wipe and apply update.zip?
Why does it say "verification failed" then?
EDIT: Oh I see, I have to download fake-flash update.zip and apply update.zip takes me to the clockwork recovery? When I put the update.zip to the SD card and apply it, then it should go on with out any "verification failed" errors?

My main priority is just to get the phone to run normally again, I can worry about the USB Unbrick later. So I just want to do a full wipe and flash Cyanogenmod again. Am I able to do all that is required to run the phone again normally with fakeflash?
Thanks in advance TheGrammarFreak, I really appreciate your help!
The phone won't run normally until you do a USB unbrick.
One of the things that happens with this USB brick is that a flag for advanced debugging gets set. It's a very deep setting, and the setting is read ad the HBOOT level. If this flag is set to on (like it is in a USB brick) the phone will not boot unless it's plugged into a computer. Remember that
In order to get your phone back I believe you will need to plug your phone into the PC and turn it on. It should boot, if not you will need to get to recovery and wipe/reflash (you'll need to do this while plugged into a PC too). Once you have a running system/you're in recovery you can use ADB to push the files needed for a USB unbrick to your SD card.
Assuming you got that far, you should be in a prime position to follow the USB unbrick procedure.
I'm going away tomorrow for a week, and I will not be online at all. If you need more help you will need to get someone else in. That said, I believe that with the information in this thread, the USB unbrick thread, the fakeflash thread and Google you have enough information and help top fix your phone

Hi everyone,
Well I'm in that freak out stage.... where I am sure some of you have been.
Heres my issue...
I have a transformer prime that;
I just unrooted using Vipermod
Then did a factory reset
Now I am stuck in CWM recovery
I attempted to do a restore but after it gets done it brings me back into the recovery
I attempted to ADB but the command prompt opens and closes right away ( I assume from not being in USB debugging, which I cant get into without a rom)
I have no rom's currently downloaded into the prime as I just wiped everything in there as well.
Please i'll gladly pay $5 to anyone who can fix this without it breaking more (hard bricking if I havent already done so)
AHHH please guys help, I'm afraid it will run out of battery soon then I'll be royally screwedddd
anyone?
are you on windows 7?
yes windows 7 professional sp 1 32bit . to reiterate I am stuck in Clockwork mod Recovery without root, and with no roms on the internal SD. I have access to one restore that works but after it completes it reboots back in recovery.

Turn on your tablet, let it boot into CWM.
Open cmd, cd to the directory with adb (for example cd C:\android), then copy this line of text below and right click > paste in the command prompt window.
adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 count=13
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That should get you out of CWM into Android, assuming your restore works fine.
Attempted and got error device not found.
I have uninstalled the transformer drivers and also installed the universal drivers as said in other threads.
I assume to use ADB i need usb debugging on for it to read??
My issue is I cant get into any rom so turning on usb debugging is a no go.
can i fastboot push a rom to the internal sd card or better yet can i install a rom from the external SD card via Clockwork mod recovery?

Try the instructions here. Try using this only as a last-ditch resort.
it wont shut off either... i tried both of the above mentions and cant get adb to recognize the prime
Attempted both and stuck at recovery loop without root. any more ideas? is it possible to flash rom from external sd? or is there a recovery I could fastboot rhat has this feature?
Attempted both and neither work. I need to somehow get usb debugging enabled while in clockwork mod. Or figure out a way to install a rom via external SD card while in CWM. Any more help is appreciated!

No adb debugging is needed in cwm. Even without any ROM installed. Recovery is different from Android.
Try to long press power (at least ten seconds) to hard reboot, and see if it changes something in device detection.
Did a hard reset and it boots me back into Recovery.
I was able to get a new rom into the internal SD via the emergency/backup.zip method but after it completes and I do a reboot it just boots right back into recovery again.
Any help please is apprecaited.

Oh joy. This one is a spaghetti western in the making.
Okay. Question first : Does Windows 7 RECOGNISE the device in any way shape or form. To find out if this can be done, you need to power up the device and hold the power and volume down buttons, DO NOT press volume up when it suggests a kernel image. If you get three icons, hit vol down once and up once, then plug the USB cable into the PC and the tablet.
If it sees "Something", you've a chance. Download the naked universal USB driver from the dev forum, install it and have your device pick it up on the windows computer. I'm assuming from your comments that you've GOT a working fastboot and adb so I'm going to skip the instructions on that.
If you do have a something, and it's recognised, hit fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot, if it reboots of it's own accord at this point, you can confirm you have working ADB and Fastboot access. From there you've a few choices. My personal preference would be to ADB push a rom down -after- doing a rebuild of the recovery image via fastboot (I really recommend TWRP for this bit).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26093546#post26093546 - This post here which I wrote will explain how to flash TWRP from fastboot access, presuming you can get it. Once that step is done, wipe EVERYTHING from TWRP, and I mean the whole nine yards, including /system. Raze the memory down to only things it can't actually nuke. Once that's done, reboot to fastboot protocol, get a ROM pushed via ADB and install from inside TWRP.
That -should- get you back in business. Though judging by the tangle you're in, I make no promises.
ADB wont recognize the device. I have installed and uninstalled the drivers about 5 times.
It wont boot into fastboot - just goes directly into Clockwork Mod recovery. Even while holding power and volume down text comes up that says looking for asus recovery. then says clockwork recovery and boots directly into that.
The only way I can get anything into the internal SD card is with MasterZen88's Emergency script tool that puts any 1 file into the internal SD card as backup.zip
It was unrooted prior to all of this as well.
*cringe*
If ADB isn't working -at all- and it's not using the naked USB drivers to get you any kind of workable access. You're starting to smell very much like a hard brick scenario. I'm honestly not sure if there's a way out of that. A lot of the solutions for unbricking absolutely require that the device is able to talk to the outside world, if it's not and the ADB shell is essentially telling you it's talking to dead air, you're in a world of pain.
It's a long shot but it may be worth speaking to ASUS to see if they are willing to, for a fee, restore your tablet to factory settings. Though I can't imagine that will be cheap or simple. If you are able to get an RMA or a means of getting ASUS to poke it, make sure to take photos. Their techies appear to have the worst case of butterfingers in the world.
Go over Pandaball's suggestion, because that's really the last step I can think of before contacting ASUS
I have two identical nexus s phones.
Phone 1:
- has no usb connectivity, and thus can't be used with fastboot or adb
- unlocked bootloader
- stock jellybean
Phone 2:
- rooted
- has CWM 6.0.3.1 installed
- stock jellybean
I've taken a backup of phone 2 and want to flash it using the stock recovery on phone 1. I'm on OS X.
I've found a couple threads on this but they're all leading to dead ends. One used a utility called unyaffs, but the CWM file format has changed to use hashed blobs so that 's not going to work.
I've also seen a couple posts saying that CWM had a "soon to be released" option to create an update.zip file, but I don't see that option. Those posts are from last August. That sounds great if it existed and the image could be used with stock recovery.
All I really need to do is flash the bootloader from phone 2 on to phone 1 (I previously flashed the wrong bootloader on phone 1 which led to the loss of usb, which is what I'm trying to fix.) I tried zipping the correct bootloader image from the google download page and installing from stock recovery but it refuses to flash that image. (Not sure if fastboot images can be flashed in recovery mode?)
Argh, need a little help here.
Thanks in advance.

ok your post isnt making sense. first of all how did you flash thethe wrong bootloader to phone 1? and when you compare the phones bootloaders, what is the bootloader version number for each one? so what youre saying is that phone 1 will never give you an adb connection at all, even when youre booted into android? when you plug phone 1 into the computer from within android what happens? and when you boot phone 1 into bootloader and execute fastboot mode then connect it to your computer do you see anything when you run the command ./fastboot devices? or ./adb devices when youre in adb mode on your phone? if your computer can see phone 2 and not phone 1 at all via usb then there is likely a problem with the usb port on your phone 1. you should be able to boot directly into fastboot mode by holding vol up and power button while powering on the phone, then it should take you straight to fastboot mode where you can then connect to the computer. remember to put the phone in fastboot mode then connect sometimes the computer wont see the phone if it was already plugged in upon entering fastboot mode/

I was trying to downgrade the phone to ICS using the factory image from google. I picked the wrong image from the google site (picked soju, needed sojus) and flashed it using fastboot. As soon as I flashed the wrong bootloader the USB connection stopped working so I didn't flash the radio or os. I no longer can connect to the phone using fastboot or adb, usb debugging stopped working. The USB debugging option is set in developer options. So, trying to get the phone working now without USB. Hope that makes sense now. :good:
Recently while flashing alpha version of MIUI marshmallow on my Mi 4w, my phone got completely bricked. Complete brick in the sense, it won't turn on, neither charge nor show any led indication. This guide should work on other phones also.Let's start:-
1) Although it seems like your phone wont turn on, your phone is actually working, it's just it wont show anything on the screen(no display).
Make sure your phone is charged properly(it will charge even if the led doesn't show any indication).
2) Download and install Mi flash tool and then Fastboot file of your device. http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
3) Unzip the fastboot image, a folder containing flash all.bat should appear if not, extract the extracted file again. Winrar should work fine.
4) Now open Mi flash tool(as administrator) and select the fastboot folder from Mi flash using browse option and also select the proper fastboot script according to need.
Note: Flash_all.bat will completely erase your internal storage.
5) Now press volume down(-) and power key to enter into fastboot. Note: it won't show any visual whatsoever but it'll work.
6) Connect your phone to your pc. It should show various flash devices connected to your computer and those devices may continuosly connect and disconnect. If not it'll show QHUSUB_BULK install the driver using device manager.
7) On Mi flash tool, some device name should show on the devices list if not click refresh and try reconnecting the device. Note: If you dont have proper drivers installed on your pc, this procedure won't work.
8) Finally click on flash and flashing will start. It'll take some time. Once done it'll show operation completed successfully.
9) Finally boot your device using power key.
Brick has received QHSUSB_BULK simple. This is the normal and regular encounter. Hardbrick, you must check point.

When I use method connecting test point to metal cover on mother board of phone usb connects to PC and MiFlash recognizes phone. Try to flash though and I get an error message. No matter what ROM I use, zipped, unzipped or tgz file. Can my phone be unbricked? What am I doing wrong? I have a Mi Max 64GB and am using HELIUM Roms. Please help. Error message is:
The filename, directory name, or volume label is incorrect.(0x8007007b: Open programmer "MPRG*.hex").
I have no clue. Not my first time flashing ROMs or unbricking a phone. It is my first time on a Xiaomi. Only done blackberry and samsung before.

Recently while flashing alpha version of MIUI marshmallow on my Mi 4w, my phone got completely bricked. Complete brick in the sense, it won't turn on, neither charge nor show any led indication. This guide should work on other phones also.Let's start:-
1) Although it seems like your phone wont turn on, your phone is actually working, it's just it wont show anything on the screen(no display).
Make sure your phone is charged properly(it will charge even if the led doesn't show any indication).
2) Download and install Mi flash tool and then Fastboot file of your device. http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
3) Unzip the fastboot image, a folder containing flash all.bat should appear if not, extract the extracted file again. Winrar should work fine.
4) Now open Mi flash tool(as administrator) and select the fastboot folder from Mi flash using browse option and also select the proper fastboot script according to need.
Note: Flash_all.bat will completely erase your internal storage.
5) Now press volume down(-) and power key to enter into fastboot. Note: it won't show any visual whatsoever but it'll work.
6) Connect your phone to your pc. It should show various flash devices connected to your computer and those devices may continuosly connect and disconnect. If not it'll show QHUSUB_BULK install the driver using device manager.
7) On Mi flash tool, some device name should show on the devices list if not click refresh and try reconnecting the device. Note: If you dont have proper drivers installed on your pc, this procedure won't work.
8) Finally click on flash and flashing will start. It'll take some time. Once done it'll show operation completed successfully.
9) Finally boot your device using power key.

Link not working.
Using another mi flash tool also get nothing. How do I know I get into fastboot?
Already pressed volume down and power button but nothing happened. And checking fastboot devices nothing comes up. Also in mi flash tool nothing.

Hii XDA fellows,
So I have seen many people asking for noob friendly guide to restore original oxygen os firmware or basically unbrick device. There are several thread on this already but trust me I have tried them all and in my case I had to use my own brain. So I have compiled a noob friendly guide which I,myself have used to unbrick my device.
small warning this will wipe all of your data.
Firstly I wants to thank Some_Random_Username for bringing up MSM Unbrick tool for OnePlus Nord. His guide to unrick nord is also fairly good enough but in my case I was stuck in bootloop after installing a rom. My phone was not even booting to Qualcomm EDL Mode so that I can use MSM Tool.
Lets start with pre-requisites:
You must have unlocked bootloader.
Original Oneplus Type - C cable.
Windows PC.
ADB debugging turned on your phone.
Firstly Switch off your device, which I think most of you have already have as the device is bricked but in case your phone is stuck in bootloop or recovery or bootloader menu itself then try holding down voume up button and power button together hold them down till you get heptic feedback and screen goes off. Let it be cool down for about a minute.
Now Setup your PC:
Download MSM tool to from this guide : Click here
Setup adb environment in your PC if you havent already setup follow this guide
Download Qualcomm EDL drivers from here: Click here
Now download Unofficial TWRP recovery by Mauronofrio from here
On your PC right click on start menu icon and start Windows Powershell(Admin) and type this command bcdedit /set testsigning on This will turn off driver signature verifications on windows you will be required to restart your pc now after you restart your pc will boot into test mode and you'll see a watermark stating the same in bottom left of your desktop. Worry not we will undo this after we have finished restoring.
install Qualcomm EDL drivers by running the setup listed above.
Unzip MSMTool there you will see a file named MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe run it, it'll take some time but after you see a pop up asking for user type user name and password, Select other as user type and leave other stuffs blank as it is and click next.
In the next window, In the target button select O2 while using global tool or India while using indian tool or EU when using european tool.
Now you have to boot into Qualcomm Emergency Download Mode
You can do this in several diffrent ways but one I am listing here is recommended :
Boot into fastboot/bootloader mode by pressing and holding Volume up, Volume down and power button together when you see a Menu pop up on your screen you can let go all the fingers at once.
Now connect your phone to your PC and go to that folder where TWRP recovery is located. Hold Shift button and Right click inside that folder you'll see an option "Open powershell window here click on it. In the powershell window type
fastboot devices and press enter your device will be listed as fastboot devices in powershell window. Now type
fastboot boot twrp1.img press enter
your device will boot up in TWRP recovery in twrp recovery go to reboot section and select Edl, This will boot your phone Edl mode your screen will go off as soon as it happens in the MSM tool window you'll see a device listed as com3/com5/com7.
Click on start button the restoration process will begin. Wait for about 400 secs and your device will automatically boot up.
Voila you've successfully unbricked your phone.
If you want to exit from Driver test mode on your pc simply start a powershell window with admin rights and type
bcdedit /set testsigning off
and restart your PC.

Seems like it's a software issue probably a bug in your rom rich out to the developer he might help you, as you have tried both with Linux and windows i don't think it's a driver issue, it could be an issue with the hardware also but chances are pretty low for this to happen. Try flashing other roms if you have backup of your phone, use orange fox recovery it has an option of taking nandroid backup.
