I recently got a z3c and decided to try to get a slim rom on it.
I have done the following:
I unlocked the bootloader.
This was done successfully to the best of my knowledge
The next thing I did was flash a cwm image to by z3c using fastboot. The problem was that I flashed the z3 version on my z3c.
The device would boot but the screen would be blank.
Later I flashed the z3c boot loader named : Z3c_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_v01_FW-105
After this the device goes in a boot loop. I am able to access CWM.
I have tried to root the phone as well as flash the slim rom in an attempt to fix it....
Wiping disk / cache doesn't help.
Also for some reason even though adb drivers are installed I cannot use it so I can't get the twrp install to work.
I have no idea what to do can someone please help?
Thanks,
stp
I have same issue....Phone is ib bootloop...i can still go to fastboot mode....
Anything can be done here????
Flash an factory image with flashtool then you will have original recovery. Then reinstall CWM, maybe smth went wrong.
Tried flashtool---Ended up with errors as attached pic
As i cant bootup my phone...USB Debugging option cant be ticked
I was running SlimLP (unofficial) while bricked my phone....
Anything on that please....
I managed to recover my phone. I don't think you need usb debugging for flash tool. What I did was turn the phone off (power and volume up seem to be the buttons that force shutdown and break the reboot loop).
flashtool will prompt you to connect when you flash the ftf file and you hold power up and volume down when you connect the usb cable. If you have issues flashing (it hanged on me on system.bin) try restarting your computer.
Resolution and Problem Exp
Right after flashing the device recovery through fastboot the USB cable is plugged and that seems to loop the boot loader, so you need to force shutdown while looping by pressing POWER + VOLUME UP, and after that unplug the USB cable. You will notice that on boot now the light is no longer red.

When i chose from CWM recovery menu "Reboot recovery", phone boot into download mode, and thats all. Fastboot or adb dont see it.
But. In usb device list:
In download mode:
Bus 002 Device 061: ID 0bb4:0ff9 HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.) Desire / Desire HD / Hero / Thunderbolt (Charge Mode)
In recovery mode:
Bus 002 Device 063: ID 0bb4:0f91 HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.)
Assuming you didn't corrupt your boot loader you should be able to get at the boot loader and use fastboot to flash a new recovery.
Power the device off
Hold power and volume down, the phone should turn on and load into the boot loader.
From there you can select fastboot (navigate menu with volumn buttons, power button to select fastboot).
You can use this command to flash a recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If you can enter bootloader,you may try formatting partitions from fastboot,and flashing them afterwards,that is if bootloader is unlocked.
You can also lock your bootloader and try installing RUU,it will put your phone back to stock,
P.S. - I'm new to this,so please consult with more experienced members,before doing anything

you "fastboot flash boot recovery.img"? you may want to check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2478438&page=3
if that doesn't help, post back
Guys, we have to check if he can boot in bootloader/fastboot.
So, @ZloY909, if you're in recovery, adb can recognize your phone?
And, in CWM, there is the option: reboot bootloader?
As download mode you mean bootloader?
ZloY909 said:
Has the same problem, flashed CWM Recovery to the boot partiotion. Can you give me more info about that magic what you are done to cennect your phone to fastboot? =)

fastboot shouldn't be affected.
when you connect your phone to the PC, does it the text in bootloader change from "FASTBOOT" to "FASTBOOT USB"

adb or fastboot is not recognize my phone. In cwm recovery i have only reboot option or reboot into recovery. I have the same situation as tha developer in other post.
when i chose boot to recovery i have : "screen with a phone icon and a green image like i can connect via usb or something, but then it turns red after about 30 seconds"

"screen with a phone icon and a green image like i can connect via usb or something, but then it turns red after about 30 seconds" -> that's stock recovery
Before, when you are in bootloader (image attached), are you able to "fastboot devices" and it shows up? because the bootloader is not affected by the recovery.
basically "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" put the custom recovery where the kernel is supposed to be.
First thing you need to get/confirm working is bootloader/fastboot.

In cwm adb will work.
So i think you have some issue with drivers.
And, however, if you turn off the phone, you can't access in bootloader with a longpress of power and vol-?
Hey, so I'm the one who had this same situation. What I had to do from what I recall is go to CWM screen, cleared the cache, even in advanced the davlik cache, then I believe (and you might have to try different combinations of this, because I don't 100% remember as I had before tried so many different ways) I unmounted the system mount, then went to reboot from the first screen to get to the bootloader (hold power button and volume down). After this, I clicked on Fastboot and it then went to Fastboot USB. This is where you should be able to connect. Don't leave this screen until you flash the recovery in the right place and then properly install the ROM. Let me know if you get to at least connecting and I can even send over an image for your boot, so you can at least get your phone back.
It can be done, I had the same situation so your phone is not bricked. Just keep working at it.

Not sure about alle the steps you did or did not do.
But if you install TWRP and then reboot back to MIUI, it will overwrite the recovery again.
From the TWRP.me site:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
Ok, followed all the steps exactly, the phone boots into twrp, then i reboot in system, or let it reboot by disconnecting, same thing happens. Black screen MI logo, bootloader unlock, in red, at the bottom of the screen with an open padlock.
Now it wont boot at all.
This is weird, I can boot into fastboot and recovery but when i try to flash, the device is redognised but i cannot see it in the drop down menu to find the rom. Grrrrrr im stuck.

OK, if you want to keep MIUI, just flash MIUI again and it should install the needed firmware, recovery etc.
You can use the recovery zip for this or the fastboot gz version to install (both should work).
If you want a custom rom installed, go to the Lineage thread (i use that since feb, with weekly updates) or another one.
Read the first few post carefully, but if you want to install it (Lineage), do flash the firmware first via recovery before flashing the rom (don't forget this one).
Update. I can get into TWRP recovery but have no back up.
If I try to boot into system I get a black screen with Mi logo and a red unlocked boot loader padlock graphic.
If i boot into fast boot and run miflash, the phone is recognised but the sd storage does not appear in the drop down at all.
I cannot use the pcsuite software and if the phone is not in TWRP or fastboot mode it is on the black screen with logo with red unlocked padlock and is not recognised by the PC. I dont know what else to do, any help will be greatly appreciated.
Found out the problem it was supersu, gonna try a different version

Glad you found the problem.
I think that MIUI has already build in the SU via the Developer options, but i'm not sure of that.
If you think of Lineage, just flash the Lineage Su addon after the Lineage rom.
Works great.

MIUI has some sort of verification on boot. If it detects a custom recovery different from stock one, it won't boot. You need to use zcx twrp. It can bypass this verification.
I updated my oneplus and i got the TWRP decryption message, so i formatted it back to the stock format.
now all the phone does is boot into the bootloader but gets stuck on the boot screen of Blu Spark 3.1.1
my computer wont recognize it while its in the bootloader or while its stuck trying to boot in twrp
is there anything i can do or is my phone screwed at this point? i see a lot of threads that would answer parts of my issue but nothing that covers this as a whole. id rather ask for help now while there may be some hope.

So no response to fastboot commands, while in bootloader-fastboot mode?
Are you sure you installed the right drivers for your pc? If all else fails, you can do this.
This is how I fixed my phone when i was stuck at a black screen. You can also try a different usb cord or port. Check device manager and see if it recognizes it when its plugged in. hope this helps!

can you boot into fastboot? if your phone can boot to fastboot mode..just flash stock recovery image..then flash rom via adb shell (better flash the stock rom). if it works you can reinstall the custom recovery image or something. dont forget to erase everything via stock recovery..
(I couldn't find this exact problem on the forums, forgive me if I overlooked it)
I tried booting my mom's old phone, an HTC Desire 626G, but it is stuck in a bootloop. When I try to enter recovery mode (by pressing power + volume down), it just enters the loop again.
I can however enter what I think is the bootloader menu, giving me three options: recovery, fastboot or normal boot. Fastboot freezes the phone, the other two options just start the bootloop. I've never installed a custom ROM.
I disassembled the phone, un- and replugged the battery to no avail. I tried ADB but I never enabled USB debugging in the first place, so that doesn't work either.
Do you have another idea that might work?

Bro You need to flash the factory firmware using a pc with that fastboot mode.....
The existing firmware might have been got corrupted or the storage might have been damaged, since its an old device(which is very rare),
To do so u can find many articles on the internet very easily,

Thanks a lot, I'm finally able to communicate with my phone via PC now. Booting still doesn't work but now I can at least format the storage and hopefully flash the factory ROM.
Hi All, I need fastboot!
Perhaps someone can help with my brick? I've unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and had lineageOS 18.1 installed once. The screen was dim so I tried to flash DotOS. And got a "failed to mount /tmp/com.android.resolv.apex to loop device /dev/block/loop16" error so I tried to reinstall stock 57 ROM.
I did "fastboot flash recovery boot.img" with the decrypted boot.img hoping to get colourOS recovery.
The phone is now bootlooping trying to get into recovery mode. It won't power off or respond to button presses except vol up + vol down seems to delay the reboot on a blank screen.
I was hoping to get to fastboot mode to flash TWRP. Can anyone help? Should I surrender and accept the bricking?
you can get back to stock by install the stock rom, vendor, and kernel with adb drivers and commands.
or
if your mobile is MIUI you can just use the software to revert back to stock rom remember it re-locks the bootloader and again you need to unlock
The phone is currently boot looping.
I can't even turn it off.
It displays RealME/Android logo, then small "> RECOVERY MODE" text at bottom, then "Orange State" text. Repeat..
It has no response to a usb cable - no usb messages in dmesg. So it is not detected by adb or fastboot.
When the battery finally goes flat, my only hope is that I can get fastboot to flash TWRP into the recovery partition. I am not confident of this :-(

This recovered the Phone!
But, win10 reported the MCT extractor contained a worm (the python script under linux didn't work). I'm not sure I can trust this phone 100% from now on LOL!
the bypass just deactivates mtk hardware verificaton as normally they have a special dongle they use with the software download
I havent had any issues
I will upload thw bypass i use which doesnt havw any virus
