I have an LG Optimus one p500 that's stuck in fastboot mode.
After doing factory reset,phone entered in fastboot mode. After selecting that the phone rebooted but was stuck in Fastboot mode. It's been stuck for 5 days and I can't figure out how to exit fastboot or just reboot regularly.
Methods tried:
-Battery pull then turn on
-Press and Hold Homekey, Powerkey and Volume down when booting
-Run fastboot on my command prompt and reboot, continue or flash command
-Phone is not entering emergency mode
<But they all end in fsatboot mode "Fastboot: Processing Commands" still>
I've tried everything and read everyforum, My questions
1)How can I just reboot my phone regularily! so it's not in fastboot mode?
2) Is there a command prompt for fastboot that willl exit fastboot?
I just want my phone to work normally! Please help, much appreciated!
Please reply fast because my phone's warranty is over.
Most probably, your custom recovery got corrupt
Use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088046
This will erase the current corrupted recovery and flash the new one.
Use the recovery.img of CWM 5.0.2.0 instead of 5.0.2.7 (Unstable)
EDIT: Download CWM 5.0.2.0 Recovery Image here (Make sure to rename it to "recovery.img")

Actually,my mobile was not getting recognized by pc.
But after lot of efforts,i have flashed original LG rom.
Now,the problem left is fastboot mode.
I have tried flashing different recoveries and it shows that recovery gets updated.When I entered" fastboot reboot ",then it again entered in fastboot mode.
Then,I entered "reboot recovery" in terminal emulator.Then,it entered in correct recovery mode.So,I feel that Button combo have been changed or I have to disable fastboot mode from some settings or adb(as read in some forum).Can you help me regarding this?
please help
someone please reply here
U most likely pressed something else instead of power+down volume+home

You should press home and vol key first and then press power.
Ignore if you do it correctly
Again:
Press and HOLD: Vol DOWN + Home-Key + Power until recovery starts. Home-Key + Power is the combo for Fastboot mode.
Hey
I´ve got the same problem, but when I try install Android SDK it says Java DK isnt installed, which is false cos I have it already instaled..
I checked the Google, but only what I found was information which says " click back, then click next" But it didnt help me.

Recently, I was foolish enough to play around with the tool WSG UnBricker v1.0.3, and I went to flash the recovery (option to flash own image), I then drap the one that's bundled with the tool to flash it, after that I couldn't enter the stock recovery to see the familiar dead Andy, nor can I factory reset the device any more.
When trying to factory reset it, I kept getting the error (in red) that says "Unrecoverable bootloader error 0x00000000", then the device just hangs there.
My TF201 is still locked, not rooted, it is on Jelly Bean and other functions are still OK. I can still boot it and use it normally, just can't factory reset it and get the "Unrecoverable bootloader error 0x00000000" error.
So, please, If anyone has any idea to deal with this, please help me!!! I've been looking all around but to no available. How foolish of me to have done it!!!
What exactly did you try to do with the WSG tool??
Anyway, you could try one of these methods to do a complete restore...
Download the stock ROM (http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/#download)... it has a zip within a zip... extract the first zip and you should have a file with a name like US_epad-user-10.4.2.15.zip (or WW or TW depending on which zip you downloaded)
1. Flash via recovery
- Copy the update zip (e.g. US_epad-user-10.4.2.15.zip) to your sdcard
- Open adb shell and enter the following command
Code:
echo '--update_package=/sdcard/US_epad-user-10.4.2.15.zip' >> /cache/recovery/command
- Reboot and enter recovery mode [Power + Vol Down, then select RCK and press Vol Up]
- You should see the recovery screen (green Android with progress bar)
- It should reboot & then you see the blue progress bar on the Asus splash screen
- Let it finish and boot up.
- Now start it up using the Power + Vol Down key, then use the Vol Down key to highlight Wipe Data and pre the Vol Up key. This may take a few minutes.
2. Flash via fastboot
- Extract the blob from the update zip (e.g. US_epad-user-10.4.2.15.zip) on your computer
- Start the device in fastboot mode [Power + Vol Down, then select the USB symbol and press Vol Up]
- Run the follow command in a terminal window
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging blob
- You should see the fastboot command transfering the files. Once that is done, reboot
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot
- It should reboot & then you see the blue progress bar on the Asus splash screen
- Let it finish and boot up.
- Now start it up using the Power + Vol Down key, then use the Vol Down key to highlight Wipe Data and pre the Vol Up key. This may take a few minutes.

Thanks a lot, craigacgomez!!! I had to try to use the 2nd option you gave me (flash via fastboot), as my Recovery was probably screwed; as I said before, I couldn't get into Recovery (stock recovery I think, because it's still not unlocked, not rooted), just says "Unrecoverable bootloader error 0x00000000". However, even with the 2nd option, when I try the reboot command, the device just stays there, and the writing process before it only took about 3s as the picture I attached herewith. I tried to manually reboot it after "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging blob", but the device still booted as If nothing was done using the command.
I think the jellybean stock recovery is screwed, only by successfully re-flashing it, can I do the factory reset. Now, it can boot and be used normally but not factory reset. The reason I tried to play with the tool was because I am one of the very "luck" users that have to live with the infamous "Serial unknown" feature!!! For one second of misthought and alcohol, I somehow screwed it like this.
So, what can I do now to re-flash the stock recovery, please tell me! Thanks a lot again man.
I just tried to cold boot the device using the Volume down+Power and let it pass the 10s. After that, the screen says it's cold booting linux or something, then a signature match, but it hangs there. I pressed and held Power until It reboots, but this time It won't even get passed the Asus splash screen. I just officially get an expensive "temporary" paperweight!!! Someone, please help!!!!!!!
Please, anyone???
Same original problem as OP. Not sure about the bricking problem...
I also receive that error when attempting to boot from recovery. However, I can still boot normal and seems I can wipe data. Also, I can start fastboot...but it seems to only be responsive to one command before it becomes unresponsive. Adb doesn't seem to be seeing the device anymore. And I can boot into APX.
This doesn't really help the OP if bricked, but providing these details, because I am still trying to find a solution to the same original problem.
Maybe it's time for me to use Asus's warranty service?
found the solution to this problem?
found the solution to this problem? I am presenting the same problem! someone please help me
same here... I have 10.6.1.8 bootloader currently, courtesy the previous owner and I can't seem to flash anything. After sending a command to the device, it becomes unresponsive and just freezes.
Now, as it is possible to send a file over to the device, does it stay there? It looks like there is only one command that can be executed and that is sending. Maybe if the file was there, the one command would be flashing the file? Just grasping at straws
I have a similar problem.
Can access fastboot, but the unrecoverable error appears every time i enter recovery or wipe mode.
Also fastboot freezes after i flash something.
My opinion: Hard brick. You need to replace the motherboard.
I am almost ready to accept it... However, as the bootloader is from TF300, would it be possible to use those drivers to communicate with the device? I'm at work right now so can't test, but it seems like a remote possibility

I also have the bootloader error 0x00000000,
bought the prime second hand and thought I would unlock and try some new ROM, I have done successful root flash etc on my old HTC desire to get it running JB ROMs so thought would give it a go on PRIME, big mistake!! rushed into it like an absolute moron and now have a lovely paperweight!
Everything I have read suggests this is unfixable but I found the tool WSG unbrick and thought hey hey here we go!! but no dice.
The erasing tools seem to do everything but when I tried to install the full unbrick option (write partitions) it just goes straight to the reboot menu with a message that "this menu is only for when the device is in bootloader mode" same for any other install option!
Every time I try to flash something in fastboot it seems like it disconnects or fastboot stops working,
I am pretty much ready to give up and admit defeat, phone call to ASUS!!!
example of what happens in fastboot:-

Hi guys. While I am grateful with you just to be interested in helping, please try to read my whole post before trying to offer a solution, because it is kind of a long trip until now.
I am having a bad experience here trying to root a Moto E XT1021 (single SIM). As warranty is now expired and after watching all development going to this little amazing device we decided to root this phone which is not mine. I followed instructions and unlock the bootloader, fastboot displays a "Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3" line, so I am pretty sure it is.
Now, I get into fastboot mode with hard keys and thru "adb reboot bootloader", I put the SuperSU.zip to flash thru custom recovery inside my sdcard but when I try to flash the custom recovery with a "fastboot flash recovery recovery_whatever.img" I get:
Code:
target reported max download size of 299892736 bytes
sending 'recovery' (7300 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.250s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.702s]
finished. total time: 0.952s
In cellphone display I get:
Code:
cmd: getvar:partition-type:recovery
cmd: getvar:max-download-size
cmd: download 008d5800
cmd: flash: recovery
Mismatched partition size (recovery)
So I don't guess nor assume the recovery was flashed, fastboot is informing it writed the IMG file to the correct partition. So I reboot and try an "adb reboot recovery" which fails miserably and reboots to system. Well, I read and read and find that I have to go directly from fastboot to recovery, but when I do this, the same thing happens. So, I read in another similar problem and the guys say I have to stay in fastboot display, disconnect my phone, and AFTER this I have to go to recovery directly from fastboot, but when I do this, display goes blank (does not seem to have backlight on).
I have tried with, literally, every custom recovery IMG I have found here and from scripts like Moto Tool and Super Tool. The most I can get is this. Or a pixelated-static display trying to get into recovery but finally failing. Help me, please, I just wiped the whole thing to unlock bootloader and if I can't root it my wife is gonna kill me.

Hello everybody,
since saturday I have a really big problem. Until now I tried to find a similar problem from an other person in the internet in order to fix mine but that was not possible.
So in my last hope I am now writing it down here. Hopefully someone can help me:
The phone was/is rooted and has TWRP as recovery installed (v3.21). The software is still the original EMUI.
On saturday my Huawei Honor 5x (Model KIW-L21) gave me the notification that there is an software update avaible. So I backuped everything with TWRP to my sd-card and copied it to the computer. After this I ran th eupdate. The update downloaded the new software, then rebootet to the recovery, installed the update.zip automaticly and rebootet again. Then there was written on the screen "Huawei software installing ... DO NOT unplug usb or press any key!". Also there was "0%" all the time. It did nothing. also the phone was not connected with usb.
After an hour I long pressed the power button. after two seconds there was the text "Warning: The powerkey is long pressed, please release powerkey to avoid system crash" displayed. I pressed it longer and the phone turned off.
Now I have the following problem. When the phone is turned off, I can:
press the power button: the phone starts, the "honor ... android" logo is shown but nothing more happens. ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> device found but no permission to enter commands)
press the power button and the volume up button and the volume down button at the same time: normally this should take me in the recovery mode, mut it doesn't anymore. Instead the "EMUI" update screen is shown (see above "huawei software installing ..." with "0%") ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> no devices found)
press the power button and the volume up button at the same time: I get a huawei menu with three buttons: "reboot", "wipe user cache" and "factory reset". I tried both (wipe and reset) wich both finished without an error. But nothing changes ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> no devices found)
press the power button and the volume down button at the same time: I get an "eRecovery" menu from huawei with three buttons: "Reboot", "power off" and "Recover with latest software". The last button lets me connect to my wifi and then "searching for packages", with failes all the time. ("fastboot devices" -> no devices found, "adb devices" -> no devices found)
This problem occures with and also without the sd-card. Also there is no "update.zip" or "update.app" on the sd-card.
I really hope somebody can help me. I only need to get into the recovery. If I am there I can recover the backup or install a new ROM. That would be no problem for me. But at the moment I get nothing :crying:
Or maybe a tool to reset the phone completly? to start over from the beginning?
greetings,
Christopher
PS.: Thanks for your efford.
PSS.: Sorry for my bad english, I really try my best and hope that you understand what I am trying to say.

to enter fastboot mode
1. Place the device in fastboot mode:
Turn off the device. (then wait for at least 2 seconds) For a mobile phone, press and hold the volume down and power keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds (for a tablet, press and hold the volume up and power keys).
2. If the above operations do not switch the device to fastboot mode, please try the following steps:
Turn off the device. (then wait for at least 2 seconds) Then insert the USB cable and press and hold the volume down and power keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds.
Step 2 worked for me every time

AGAIN AND AGAIN, when you receive an update notification you MUST first flash back to stock recovery or it won't update with TWRP !!!
- To recover a stock recovery you need to boot onto download mode/your bootloader mode (Power+Volume Down) : plug your phone to your computer and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
From there you will loose your connexion with your computer. So unplug your phone and reboot manually holding down the Power button for some seconds.
If the system ever update your phone, BE VERY PATIENT !
The above note should probably part of a sticky !!!
If you don't get back to your Home screen and if you need TWRP back, reboot again onto download mode/your bootloader mode (Power+Volume Down) : plug your phone to your computer and type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" (or whatever the custom recovery name).

The problem a lot of people were having is TWRP flashed enough of the update that they lost custom recovery and had no way to get to the bootloader / fastboot ... that's why I posted the instructions above and in about 4 other threads.
Did you ever get your phone updated ?

"fastboot & rescue mode" with a working usb connection.
What is the next step? If I now flash the stock recovery, does the phone manages to finish the system update?
Or should I flash the twrp recovery and not the stock revocery?
greetings,
Christopher
EDIT:
I flashed the stock recovery and also the twrp recovery. both times i startet the phone and hoped the installation of the new software will go on. But it didn't.
So my problem is still resistant. so what can I do? How do I stop the update from blocking my recovery? I do not need the update. maybe I can reset my device with the fastboot access somehow?

All the full updates are in the file depot
Use stock recovery plus the full update for your version.
You have to hold volup + voldown + power to start the update
Refresh TWRP / Root and your good to go

I found the stock recovery at https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=51004 but I have no idea what update I must use and how to use it.
Could you please give me a concrete link with a little introduction? Do I have to copy the update file to my sd-card? or do I have to use the "fastboot update *" command?
(Most of the files are for "KIW-L24" but I have a "KIW-L21" ... is there a significant difference? Od do I can use also the other files?)
Also, don't I have to stop the wrong update first?

both did not work. I copied them into the "dload" folder in the root of the sd-card and started the phone with volup+coldown+power.
The only thing the phone said was "Software install failed! ... Press powerkey to conrifm ... Shutdown system now".

if the update.app doesn't work you'll have to flash TWRP and the Stock Rom and wait like everyone else that's stuck trying to update the L21

The only way I know to flash a ROM, is to go over TWRP.
So I now did the following:
Phone power off
connect to pc
voldown+power
in the fastboot flash the recovery from twrp
shutdown
copy the "customromtemplate-5x-plk21-b130-r3.zip" to the sd-card
volup+coldown+power what normally starts twrp, but only the huawei update manager is shown
I only need twrp, no update and nothing else.
What options do I have left, because "flash a ROM" is not working ...
How can I stop this terrible update that is blocking my twrp?

The only way I know to flash a ROM, is to go over TWRP.
So I now did the following:
Phone power off
connect to pc
voldown+power
in the fastboot flash the recovery from twrp
shutdown
copy the "customromtemplate-5x-plk21-b130-r3.zip" to the sd-card
volup+coldown+power what normally starts twrp, but only the huawei update manager is shown

are you flashing TWRP ?
you enter recovery with Volume up and Power
in TWRP you choose Install then choose customromtemplate-5x-plk21-b130-r3.zip
swipe to flash when it's done reboot
and your rom should load

I flashed TWRP using "kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img". I also used this one last time (one month ago) and it worked then and also now.
Flashing was successful, but when I press volup+power I get a huawei menu.
At the top there is the "EMUI" circle and below there are three buttons:
Reboot system now
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
I can move around in this little menu by using the volume keys.
But this is not TWRP.
And normally I enter the recovery by using volup+voldown+power. But this is currently blocked by the update progress from huawei.

You still have stock recovery
Flash TWRP -
fastboot flash recovery kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
Do not reboot the phone
Hold power plus volup and TWRP should load.

Are you rebooting from the fastboot screen?
From the white boot loader screen hold volume up and power for 15 seconds

The last six hours I tried to fix my phone ... again. One thing I did really helped a little:

This is the polish version of manual, I will write you how to do it:
1. Download ADB and Fastboot
2. Extract to c:/adb
3. Download from this thread firmware for you (extracted version!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/stock-kiw-l24-l21-t3312684 If you have problem what firmware you have to install, take look at the back side of phone, at the down you will se KIW-L21 or 24 (or another). Copy all files to adb folder
4. Rund adb program
5. Write in the command line: cd c:/adb
6. Connect phone to usb to download mode (power and vol- combination)
7. Write in fastboot command: fastboot flash recovery recover.img (or recovrey .img, see the file and type it name) - wait for install
8. And now: If the flash is succesfull, reboot the phone to recovery (power and volume+) and wipe all data. Phone have to work.
But if flash is not succesfull, plug again usb with download mode
9. Write this commands: fastboot flash cust cust.img -wait for install
and: fastboot flash system system.img -also wait, system.img can took a while
10. Now you will enter recovery and wipe all data
11. Again plug usb cable and install firmware with those commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img

With this I am not able to start my phone again. It will boot normally and I have a clean android. No userdata and no root.
So I now did the same like last month:
Unlock OEM -> not necessary, because it is already unlocked
install twrp with fastboot
reboot to twrp and there it is again
I did exactly what you said and also I did exactly the same thing I did last month but both times there is the same result: TWRP will not show up.
The "stock recovery" is blocking twrp in some sort of way. I can do whatever I whant ... volup+power out of the fastbook mode, or with "adb reboot recovery", or other ways ... twrp will not show up.
How is this possible? I also tried different twrp images. (The "kiwi_twrp_2-27_recovery.img" and "kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img" out of your repository, and also the "twrp-3.0.0-0-kiwi.img" and "twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi.img" from the twrp website itself ... always the same result: no twrp)
I am really at the end of my knollage

First off thanks for the very informative post.
Without actually having the phone in my hands I'm also stumped at what to try next.
After flashing TWRP and still in the boot loader unplug the USB before you reboot with power and volume up.
That's all I can think of right now

I must thank you for all your help
So I now read some more articles and tried some things. So there are old problems solved, but also new problems came up:
For me it is no longer possible to flash a recovery that is permanent. I have no idea why but I am ignoring it, because I can start the phone with voldown+power into bootloader and then use a usb-connection to enter the following command:
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So i can enter twrp temporary and because I do not need TWRP this often, that is ok for me.
BUT:
with the extracted "UPDATE.APP" and flashing some "*.img" files manually (see my last post), I have a more or less working "L21C432B130" version of android.
So now there is everything original (recovery, system, ...).
The update to "L21C432B140" is still not working. But that is also something I can live with.
So now I whant to restore my old system in order to have my old data/apps/... .
So I enter my temporary TWRP, go to Restore and select my old backup. Then the restore starts. Restoring EFS, Restoring efs2, Restoring Recovery, Wiping System and Formatting System using make_ext4fs. All of this in this order are successful. But the last operation "Restoring Data" failes with the following error message:
extractTarFork() process ended with error 255
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I searched on xda and found out, that this could be ANYTHING. I tried five or six different methods in order to fix it. In the end I am not sure what really fixxed it, but now I can restore my old update without any error. The phone now runs and I have all my old data.
There are four main differences on my phone to the time before I tried that damn update:
1. I have less internal storage
2. I have no TWRP permanently avaible
3. I can not Factory-Reset
4. I can not use a "UPDATE.APP" inside a "dload" folder on the sdcard
(the last two things always failes)
But as long as the android system now runs smooth again I can live with these things.
Is there maybe anything else I should be careful? maybe a known bug/problem that I have not seen yet?
The reason why I wanted to update in the first place was, that I have problems with my sd-card.
Some Apps do not allow to use the external storage. Easy Voice Recorder is the main problem. But also the Call Recorder has problems with it.
Is this a well known bug? Does a update helps? And if so, how do I update? (Now I know how to rescue my phone, so I could try it again xD )
Or does this problem gets solved with an custom ROM? If so, what good custom ROMs are out there for the honor 5x?
Or is this a problem that is not possible to fix on the honor 5x? Because these apps does not have this problem on my HTC One M9 ...
And thanks again so much for all your help

from your current state you can try flash recovery with TWRP by choosing install / image / your version of TWRP / choose recovery / swipe to flash
Now choose reboot / recovery
As for the sdcard try the sdcard fix for kit Kat in the play store. It works for some older apps.

If you mean getting my phone updated to KIW-L21 B140, no I still don't get it !
But I did try with KIW-L24 B151 with the result I already mentioned previously : almost bricked... ^^
But I always managed to get into Bootloader/Fastboot to flash back any kind of recovery...

All the full updates are in the file depot
Use stock recovery plus the full update for your version.
You have to hold volup + voldown + power to start the update
Refresh TWRP / Root and your good to go

So i have this issue too. im so stupid for doing this. I can go into fastboot mode and i flashed stock recovery and when i rebooted into recovery it still said that it was updating the firmware. I flashed twrp after that and it had the same message. am i doing something wrong or is it my phone? I tried rebooting into bootloader using adb but only fastboot will reconize my phone so adb also wont work. could you guys maybe help me?
Edit: Yessss. i got it using the temporary command. Thank you guys all for your help. it was so stupid of me to flash it with twrp still on it. Thank you all very much

error: update package 'C:\Users\RUsla\Desktop\xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK20MI9T_V10.3.15.0.PFJCNXM_v10-9.zip' has no android-info.txt
I've tried many other commands and this is the closest ive gotten. miflash tool also doesnt work as it gets to 100.997% and doesnt complete.

What do you mean "stuck in boot". You can hard reset the phone (I don't know the combination for your phone, but mine is hold power button + volume up + volume down, then release and press power button again. Google it up for your phone), and go to TWRP by some other combination of buttons. (TWRP is in FOTA kernel, so make sure you google that correctly and get the right combination of buttons).
