Help i soft bricked my phone

I started to root my phone this morning. I did the HTVDev unlock, flashed twrp, then tried to flash viperboy's disable RW system protect. This caused my phone to just hang at the HTC screen. I let my phone die and was able to get into my bootloader and fastboot. I tried to push the rom via adb but I kept getting the error of no device connected. Then i tried to flash the stock boot.img though fastboot. This brought me back to the HTC screen but now when I plug it in to my computer it shows up for everything and it installs drivers but the HTC MTP Device fails. Now I cant send commands to reboot through fastboot or adb. Im currently waiting for it to die again to get back to twrp or the bootloader. Any advice on how to proceed?
Thanks,

Likely no need to let it die -- a hard reset (hold the power and vol down for a very long time) should bring you back to the bootloader (hopefully). It'll seem like a good long while -- keep pressing.
From there, select 'fastboot' and press the power button, then plug in to your computer (USB). That'll show USB on the fastboot line.
Then, on your computer, open a command window (presuming you're using Windows) in the SDK platform-tools directory and type:
fastboot devices
If that gives back your device ID, you're at least at a reasonable fastboot. I'd flash a good recovery (I use PhilZ, and while it might be foreign to you (CWM style), it lets you load a ROM via OTG cable over USB if you have such a cable -- if not, hopefully sideload works for you in TWRP if you stick with that) -- just to be sure you have a good recovery.
Then, reboot into recovery.
Your kernel (boot.img) apparently is garbage, so hopefully you can either put a ROM on USB and flash from that (OTG) or adb sideload it. All the ROMs normally have a good kernel so would flash your boot.img properly during install. Were me me, I'd flash O.M.J's stock rooted ROM just so you at least get back to some place of sanity).
If that all fails, you might have to RUU and start over.
Let us know and we'll help out.

ok. can you use adb push in fastboot? also i noticed that my captive buttons blink when i tried to turn off my phone. don't know if that means anything.

OMG it worked! Thank you so much. I uber appreciate it. Today I learned a ton about how android works and how to use adb and fastboot. While the processed about gave me a heart attack i did learn a lot. I can not believe how great of a resource xda is. The knowledge of everyone on here is incredible. I cant thank you enough.
Thanks all,

[Q] LG G2 VS980 Bricked Plz help :(

Okay everything started when i wanted to go back to stock after having installed CyanogenMod 12 on my VS980. Everything went well with the install but when i finally wanted to go back, i couldnt enter download mode, instead i would get fastboot mode. I looked into that and people said i only had to replace files like Laf.img, boot.img, and aboot.img through command prompt. When i did this and rebooted the phone, the lg logo came out saying "Security Error" and then bootloops. I can enter Twrp Recovery with ease but i cant go into fastboot nor Download Mode. When i connect to the computer while in Twrp though, my computer picks it up as VS980 but says it was not installed correctly. I dont know what happened and im confused on whether is Soft- Bricked or Hard- Bricked. If anyone could help me with this problem please i have a Windows computer btw, not linux, im not sure if i need a linus for this fix though
Just putting out there, everywhere i look, people always send me here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
This just doesnt work for me since i cant enter download mode.
All help is appreciated and thank you in advance.

which TWRP version do you have?
the most simple solution if you have TWRP working is to flash a rom via OTG

I'm in the same boat man. I can get into TWRP 2.8.0.1 and download mode, but I can not get my drivers to install correctly. I have the drivers in a file. I've pointed my computer at that file, rebooted computer, changed usb cables, tried sideload feature in TWRP, tried the LG flash tool. Nothing helps. God I'm so dumb for erasing internal storage. I'm so used to having an sd card and was just thinking, don't erase sd card and you're good. I rushed through it and f'd up really good.
Errors
adb devices-doesn't list device just blank space
sideload or push just yields a list of all the commands, but nothing else
when I plug phone in to computer-drivers not installed correctly. 'MTP USB failed'
flashtool-'failed previous load'
sideload function of TWRP-It just tries to load forever
terminal in TWRP-I ran a command, but then it says you are not rooted install supersu. Not matter what I choose it reboots and sticks at 'LG' screen.
My drivers worked before I wiped internal storage, so I know it's my phone. Drivers just worked to transfer xdabbeb's 2.3 over 3 minutes before I shyt the bed with it.

Xperia ZR Bootloop

Guys, if anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Ok, here's my situation I tried to root my phone using kingroot but it keeps randomly rebooting. So, I've read somewhere that you can change kinguser to supersu by using supersu me. That's what I did now what happened is after installing and rebooting my phone is now in bootloop. So tried reflashing using flashtool but everytime it says that usb debugging must be on and there's no way for me to do that. Is there anyway for me to recover my phone and fix it? Hope you guys can help me.
P.S. Sorry if this is not the right place to post this. Thanks.

Have you installed Sony drivers before using FlashTool?
Only flashtool can recover you from this situation and remember to press up or down button and then connect the USB cable. Then only it will boot into flashmode

I've just had a similar experience using kingroot on stock lollipop.. It's a horrible app and of no use really.. This is how i got out of it and rooted my phone properly: download a .ftf stock rom for your region, search in the cross device section for perfcreator, fastboot tool and look in xenius9's thread for a boot.img (recovery, doesn't matter if it's a CM12 img or not for now) and finally a flashable zip supersu and NUT's dual recovery INSTALLER (important this) for ZR..
Place the boot.img in the folder you extracted the fastboot tool to, open perfcreator and point it to your stock ftf firmware and to your supersu zip.. press create and this will make a proper rooted flashable zip firmware, which you place in your SD-card on your phone.. (I used my friends phone to place the firmware onto the SD card and put it back on my hone)
Open the folder with fastboot tool and also include the boot.img.. Power off your phone and press vol-up while you connect your usb cable.. The led will turn blue showing your in fastboot mode, and put the cursor on your pc on a empty space in the fastboot folder, hold shift and right-click... This will open a pop-up and select "open command window here"..
A black screen will appear and type the following: fastboot flash boot boot.img.. press enter
this will take 3 seconds and you will have a working recovery on your phone for now..
Now type in the same black screen: fastboot reboot..
Your phone will boot and you press vol-up or down to get to recovery.. the led will show pink or green ..
wipe your cache/data/system and once done, install the rooted firmware you placed on your sd card.. This will remove the recovery you have installed once you reboot but once you have set your phone up, go to settings/about/build number and press several times until you have unlocked developer options.. go to developer options and check debugging..
connect your phone to the pc, open the dual recovery installer and follow the instructions
You now have a fully rooted phone with recovery installed... Sounds complicated maybe but just take your time and you'll be fine..

Can't boot into recovery.

Hello,
So I have a P7 at B126. I tried rooting it with kingroot and tried to install TWRP. I got to the part where you have to use fastboot to flash the img and it fails so I gave up. Now I am trying to get into recovery and I can't. It just either goes to a black screen or a Boot failed screen.
Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm a little confused right now. Explain what you did so far a bit more detailed, so we could help you.. Which instruction were you are following? What was the exact error? Is your bootloader unlocked? Can you boot normally?

I can boot normally.
What I did was this.
I followed the guide to root my phone. Rooted it and then tried to install the TWRP custom recovery. It failed at the installing the recovery for some permission error. So I stopped trying to install it. Now I apparently don't have a recovery at all.
I also installed some root apps like SetCPU, Xposed(Which didn't work), SuperSU(Which didn't Work)
If I try to adb reboot recovery it just takes me to the boot failed screen with the android logo on it. If I try using the Power + Down button it just shows me the huawei ascent P7 screen and just go black.
Also when I go to the fastboot/rescure mode it says my bootloader is unlocked.
Thanks for the reply.

Ah okay. So, boot into the fastboot mode, put the recovery.img in the adb folder on your pc, run cmd and type 'cd c://..' (location of adb folder), then 'fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery.img]' (for example 'fastboot flash recovery recovery_twrp.img'). Now you should get a working recovery.
Are you sure you really got root access? Eventually due to this you got the permission error..

I do because adb has admin permissions but fastboot doesn't. I tried that with trying to flash twrp on my p7 but i get a failed error after like a second I the command. So I tried flashing a stock recovery and it throws the same error in fastboot.
When I type fastboot devices I get this
? fastboot
No id for my phone but adb sees it.

Ok, your pc does obviously not recognize the p7 in fastboot mode. Did you install the Hi Suite? Through this way you should get the correct drivers (maybe even update/reinstall). If this does not help, I think I can't help you, sorry. You may wait for more help or google what do when the device isn't recognized in fastboot.
Just flash the newest SuperSU.zip when you got a recovery.. That should fix problems with root apps/ the su binary.
Offtopic: I'm not sure if you noticed, but, you're running a pretty old firmware.. You may think about updating

Hi Suite installed and correct drivers are loaded(I hope) and yes thats why Im trying to get this fixed because it wont even let me update firmwares

Try on another pc.. You could also try flashify (look in Google play), but in case of a softbrick you have real problem. Do this on your own risk, most times nothing bad will happen, but it could!
I would recommend to flash the stock recovery, update up to B621 and then installing a custom recovery.

Hi mate.
1. Use your pc, Go shuame.com and download "rom flash program".
2. Enter fastboot&rescue mode and connect your phone and PC
3. The program will recognize your phone.
4. Download anyrom and flash by the program.
The process will not complete but you will have Shuame recovery.
But my case it didn't work properly
5. I downloaded CWM from here "pan.baidu.com/s/1dDq0qcT" password :bttc
Start this program with connect your phone and press nomber 1 and ENTER.
I don't exactly remember my phone was on fastboot & rescue mode or recovery mode.
But I could get recovery and did rom flash so it was fixed.
*****from: Godfrey Peligrino ---sorry i dont know how to post BUT, this guide helped me with my p7 L10 B619..just connect it to pc and let it boot over and over and when pc acknowledge you phone..click rom and just wait if not do it again..hope this will help you too..the writings is on chinese so just copy the english thumbnails before you proceed to download...(QUOTE) THANKS TO THE GUY WHO POST THIS....HE IS TOMODACHI5..

Fire bricked/ bootloop

Hey guys,
hope you can help me. Have a little problem: After trying to root my fire, it is in a bootloop and i don't know what to do. Hope you can help me. I guess it is bricked.
Thanks
EDIT:
I tried to sideload the software bin, but it didn't worked. Also my computer doesn't show the devices with "adb devices".

Others have found that the fire will only show up on your pc after you select the sideload option on the fire. If it still doesn't show, try unplugging / replugging the usb. It seems to help some people to get it to appear. Also note that some devices will intentionally not allow you to flash bin if the battery level isn't high enough. It's a safety measure since running out of battery during a flash = brick. Be sure you're fully charged.

thanks, but..
Thank you for your response. I've tried everythin you said, but it didn't worked. Don't know what to do

Hello, I'm a long time user of the forums I haven't had a new device to root since 2013 when I did my Nexus 7 FHD. I have always followed directions correctly and never bricked anything.... until now.
So anyway just got this tablet black friday sale and within minutes of opening the package I started to read up on rooting it.
I got into fastboot and started up TWRP_Fire_2.8.7.0 I made a backup on the device without error.
Then I installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46 and tried to install open_gapps-arm-5.1-pico-20151129 but it failed.
I wiped cache/dalvik and rebooted. Now the tablet tries to boot into normal mode in a loop without success.
I have tried to get into recovery mode (volume down and power) but it fails and loops back to normal mode.
I can get into fastboot mode (volume up and power) and then back into TWRP however restoring the backup doesn't fix the boot loop.
I downloaded update-kindle-37.5.2.2_user_522053820.bin however I can't seem to figure out how to load it with TWPR sideload, and as I said I can't get into recovery mode.
Can anybody help me? @sd_shadow
