Hello there,
a few days ago i got a lot of problems with my wifi connections, and in a german forum they told me to check if a custom rom could work for me. So i installed the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" tools to install the cwm and so on. After i flashed the recovery.img, my tablet restarted and now i am stucked in a boot loop.
The big problem is, I am not able to reach the menu for RCK and so on again with VOL- and Power Button. Just restarting and restarting and restarting... i can not connect via adb or fastboot. The only thing i can do is VOL+ and Power, Windows 8 then gives a signal of a connection, but i don't know what to do with this - cause I only have a black screen!
I hope, somebody is able to help me, to solve this issue.
Thanks and Regards
(sry for my bad english)
What version of stock Rom was it on the tablet when you flashed cwm and which version cwm did you flash
We recommended the latest Asus firmware and the latest working recovery is 6.0.4.7

I also had a bootloop before, I think I hold both volume and power to power down. Then wait 5 minutes then vol - and power to get into fastboot

Hey! My version was the official 4.3 Update WW_10_26_1_18.
I wanted to install the Asus Stock Modded Deodexd Rom (10.26.1.18 JB 4.3) for root.
After I used this tutorial droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3223 for installing cwm, my device started to begin his loop. I am not able to Use Vol- / power! I also waited for several minutes
What happens if you just keep holding vol- and power without releasing

All you have to do is power and vol +/- then flash back the stock recovery via fastboot.
Then wipe. Then boot in as normal (you will have to re-set up). If wipe does not restore you, grab 10.26.1.18 for your SKU from asus , rename the .zip inside to T4_SDUPATE, place on an microsd, pop it in, enter boot loader and enter RCK. Then it will flash it.
You should fastboot boot to ensure you are ok before permanent flashing, when putting a new recovery on.
Your bootloader must be on 10.26.1.18 to use anything on DB.
The Problem is, i have no fastboot connection anymore! The loop is going and going, vol- / pow does not work! It is still looping the asus logo and that's it!

You have to be fast. When.the screen goes black hold vol +/- (hold them both) and it will enter fastboot when it cycles since I doubt u can fully power off in that state. Leave USB plugged in.
also, reply back with how exactly you flashed recovery (the command). did you do a fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or a fastboot flash boot recovery.img?

that's a good question. I mean, i did exactly what is written in that post from droidbasement.
Then you should have no issue as long as you are on the appropriate boot loader. Hundreds if not thousands of users are using it at this point.
Power and hitting both vol + and - at same time should get it back in to fastboot. Please make sure you time it right.
Good luck.

Correct. There is no wheelie/nvflash/bricksafe for this tablet.
You need to provide more information how you got into this situation.
Can you boot into fastboot?

After reboot got android belly up.
And after the second reboot got endless bootloop(((
Exit from it turns out only by pressing vol+
I apologize for Google translator
Asus help is needed
Hello ASUS !!!
You have to HELP us, in order to keep your consumer with you. Other vice people will start to think that your ASUS brand is not a trustful brand anymore. Using such tricks as providing consumer with possibility to open a "Pandora's box" with bootloader unlock, and after you pushing consumer to pay about 300 $ for "motherboard replacing".
Following such kind of policy you will collect some money but definitely you will loose much more.
Sincerely,
Stream1313
PS: I was started to use the "unlock" etc not because I do not have other business t do but because of the serious problem in your DEFAULT STOCK software.
To: Moderator - please do not delete this post, hopefully some ASUS people will read it.
I have the same problem after trying to install OTA from SDcard and then erasing data from power+(vol-)-menu. It's looping all the time and I've tried everything. Only APX works if I use naked drivers (transformer APX-drivers).

You cannot get into fastboot?
How about ADB while it is looping?
You will have to provide more info: What do you have installed?
Bootloader version
ROM
Recovery
What exactly did you do?
APX is useless at this point as there is no way use nvflash on the Tegra4 yet.

no, no chance to get into fastboot or using adb. the only thing that works is APX after pressing volume+ for about 10sec.
what did I do: I tried to install clockworkmod recovery and flashed recovery.img from fastboot. Then I restarted my device. I was sure I did every OTA-update because I checked almost every day for new updates. BUT starting up the tablet I saw my bootloader wasn't 10.26.1.18 (required for CWM). So I went to ASUS-website and downloaded WW_epaduser_10_26_1_18_UpdateLauncher and tried to update. But this did not work. So I rebooted pressing power and volume- ... then wiped data or whatever the third option was ... after that my looping started.
I've copied T4_SDUPDATE to my microSD and tried almost everything... charging, apx and looping is the only things that work at this moment
Sorry mate, but you hardbricked your tablet.
You installed a recovery that is incompatible with your bootloader, which is not good but fixable.
Then you used 'Wipe Data' from the bootloader which is pretty much a recipe for disaster with an incompatible recovery installed.
With no fastboot or adb access there is no way to get it back.
[emoji24]
so nothing I could do over APX, microSD and the 3 buttons? no chance, even in future?
I just tried to access fastboot on my fire and pushed the wrong button.
When holding "Volume Up" while switching the device on, it shows "Factory APK mode..." on the screen. After releasing the button the message disappears after 2 seconds and the fire boots up normal.
Nothing has happend, it works normal and all apps still work the way they did before.
So what does that mode do?

Likely just safe mode, only stock apps load, when in safe mode.
Used to boot device if a non stock app is causing device to be unusable.
But why do play store and so on still work when booting into that mode?
It just displays the message while booting, but nothing changes when up and running.
5.0.0 or 5.0.1 ? mine boots on fastboot mode
5.0.1, I can take a picture of it later today, didn't know there might be a difference in the versions.
I can only get fastboot ... Are you able to do this reliably? I've tried different hold an release and timings but can get it to happen.
Sorry for the late reply.
I tried to take a photo of it displaying the mode, but my phone couldn't produce a good one, so I finally took a short video. Focus is bad but you can sometimes read it.
I can repeat the process every time: Power down, hold volume up key, power on -> factory APK mode.
Hope that helps you.
Can nobody proove this works?
I mean I can't be the only one with that mode and I'm still wondering what it does.
stays now in fastbootmode - help
Tried that, now it is showing fastbootmode, nothing else happens.
It's stuck in there, it does not react on buttons, nor is it seen by adb.
What can I do to get it back to life?
[Update]
Meanwhile I googled, installed Android SDK, went to platform-tools and tried adb and fastboot.exe.
adb devices gives an empty line.
fastboot devices gives the tablets serial and the word fastboot
fastboot in conjunktion with reboot, reboot-bootloader, continue tries but does nothing on the tablet.
Looks as if I have to wait until the batterie gives up, what do you think?

My v5.0.1 german tablet boots into
- recovery mode with volume down + power on keys pressed
- fastboot mode with volume up + power on keys pressed.
Recovery mode says:
Amazon system recovery <3e>
Volume up/down to move highlight;
enter button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
reboot to bootloader
power down
view recovery logs
I have this same problem on my fire that I have only bootloader 5.1.1 and tablet does not start and I can not enter the recovery I wonder if I can help solve
I have 2 Fire 5th gens, 5.1.1, and both have the factory APK mode on vol up button and fastboot mode on vol down. NO recovery mode option. I can't even make it boot into recovery using fastboot reboot commands.
Model: HUAWEI CRR-L09

Hoping for some help here! I'm not a complete noob and I have unlocked and flashed customs ROMs on a few devices before but I'm going round in circles with the Mate S I bought yesterday.
I think that I have successfully unlocked the bootloader (see attached pic) after I got the code online and it is also FRP unlocked. I don't seem to be able to flash TWRP though. I'm using twrp-2.8.7.0-carrera.img from here. After trying to flash TWRP with ADB I don't seem to have any recovery at all.
Vol Up + Power = Stuck on Huawei logo. Have to power off.
Vol Down + Power = Phone just starts up normally.

But I can't get into recovery. On the TWRP website it mentions that you may have to manually enter recovery the first time you boot after installing TWRP to stop the custom recovery being overwritten. I have tried using Vol Up + Power on the first boot but nothing happens.
Any ideas? Can't start to use the phone until it's rooted ans I can restore some apps.
Thanks in advance.
i've got exactly the same problem since i converted my L09 to UL00, recovery is not booting up anymore and supersu is not working either.

Tried this numerous times, downloaded the TWRP.img again just to be sure.
As per my first post, the TWRP.img gives me an OKAY message but holding down either Vol Up + Vol Down + Power or just Vol Up + Vol Down and issuing the fastboot reboot command just leaves the phone showing the Huawei logo.
What has changed is that the Huawei eRecovery has reappeared. Vol Up + Power makes Huawei eRecovery start.
Vol Down + Power starts the 'FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE' screen as per the pic I attached in the first post.
Any more ideas???
Thanks.

Rhymes with anchors, starts with W!
OMG it works for me !
I downloaded the entire firmware with erecovery this night (by pressing power and volume up while the phone is plugged on the computer), since i modified the phone to ul00, it took me the whole night (chinese server i guess). so this morning I rebooted my phone and type the usual command :
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img (or whatever is the name of your file)
Code:
fastboot reboot (my phone was still connected in usb, and i was pressing both volume up and volume done before press enter)
And voila !

Same with me, tried your methods but it never goes into recovery just freezes at the Huawei logo.
I'm not a developer so I've no idea but is it possible that Three Ireland could have added more security to the Mate S? Seems like a lot of trouble to go to.

After you installed and tried to reboot, it usually says something like " Root is not installed. Do you want to install?"
What option did you chose there?

I'm having the same problem, but if you search for even a copy of the software online to try and extract the recovery.img to re-flash the same one, you can't find the same build.
It's infuriating.
Edit: I don't know if any of you have tried to Factory reset from the settings menu, but it won't let you do it now either, so if we were to return the phone to three then you will be sending it off with all of your data on it.

Before you've flashed the rom, you must have checked your "fastboot getvar all" right? Post everything you remember from it (Version-main, cid, mid, hboot version, s-on/s-off).

This was actually done a while ago. I don't remember/don't have anything saved from back then.

A factory reset will only wipe the /data partition where user data is stored, it will not restore your phone from a bad flash. Without the possibility to access bootloader and without any information about your phone nor the rom you've flashed, I can't really help. Try all the usual tricks to get in bootloader mode and if you can access it there might be something to do.
OP were you able to fix this?
Im in the same sh1t hole. Had HTC laying around. Used it for few weeks and then flashed it with some rom...
Now wont turn on or go to recovery mode. Just stuck in boot screen.

Here, had a same problem with m8... What I used to do, (while it was stuck in the boot), was press volume up and the Power button. it would switched off (as a restart), and in that short period, I would release vol up and switched to Vol down button (witht the power button still pressed) to enter recovery.
not sure for m7 though, but I hope this helps...

Damn thing stuck in the Fastboot/Hboot screen. Will not go to recovery, keeps rebooting itself and trying again.
Hi, I'm new to this phone and I while I was trying button combinations to enter the recovery mode, I ended up hard resetting my device...
So, my question is:
Which button combination gets you into recovery mode?
As far as I know:
1. DOWN + Power = Fastboot
2. UP + Power (Hold for a long time) = Hard Reset
I was trying to get my cache wiped because I was stuck on the lock screen after getting the latest security update, and I just got the phone today!
Thank you all,
Daniel

I'm sorry if I sound rude, but did you actually try that method? Don't bother doing it if you are scared of a hard reset (read: wipe data).
I tried rebooting to the recovery via ADB and it didn't work either. I guess this phone doesn't have an user accessible stock recovery...
