After trying to root my tablet with ZenFoneRoot, my Tablet went into Demo mode and I couldn't use it at all. I tried flashing with the classic ASUS method (putting the firmware on the SD and updating) but after the update completed, demo mode was still there. So I went into fastboot mode and did a "fastboot wipe system", realising after that I can flash everything except for the system/ directory, which was not a .img file (duh, silly me).
If I select recovery from DroidBoot, I get a message saying "Installing system update" followed by "Error" and that's it... no recovery menu, no nothing.
What should I do to recover my tablet?
Here are the contents of my update zip file from ASUS.

After some research I flashed the WW_MeMo_Pad-11.2.3.17.3-2014100 droidboot (fastboot.img), boot and splashimage and now I can:
fastboot -w -i 0x0b05 flash update UL-K017-WW-11.2.3.21-user.zip
But I get the following error
E: unable to rename file /cache/update.zip: Cross-device link
Tried doing a
fastboot erase cache
without any luck...
Do you guys have any ideas?
Also tried creating a yaffs2 image using "mkyaffs2 system/" but I get a zlink: Invalid Arguments error
A few days later, I contacted Asus, explained the problem and they asked me to send my tablet somewhere out of town and I have to pay for the service (which I think will cost me 50% of the tablet's value). Well this didn't help at all.
I even tried writing a bash script that would fastboot flash system/path for every file in the system directory (yes, flashing ~1000 files took me 30 minutes). But the tablet won't start, even though the files are there and I wiped the system & cache partition before. I still don't understand how the recovery option works or why "wipe data" gives me an error. All I need is a valid system.img file, that's all.
From my research, I'm starting to think that the .zips are signed with SignAPK.
Sorry for asking this question, over and over again. I just want to share my progress with this, seeing that there are some posts without replys regarding this product and with the same problem).
What if I compile Android, copy the libs/ and etc/ directories and flash the resulting system.img (will try this tomorrow).
Thank you!

I am having the same problem .I cannot get into recovery mode,as u explained in above. i think RootZenFone app only works for android:4.3
Thanks for sharing
Same boat here
I tried rooting my ME70C/K01A with RootZenFone-1.4.5r.apk.
Unfortunately I tried it after the 4.4.2 update and now I seem to be stuck in some sort of demo mode. There's a blue icon in the notification bar and I occasionally get a pop-up dialog saying that demo mode has stopped.
I purchased it just this week so I'm thinking back to the store it goes. Maybe I'll just stay with my Motorola Xoom..
bob
Well what I did since the last time I posted was:
- I successfully created a system.img image (using the tools in ADK) that I can flash into my MeMo pad, but the tablet doesn't boot even tough it was a successful flash Anddddd... I'm stuck at this point. Any more ideas?
To remove the offline demo in the notification in ME70C
To remove the offline demo in the notification
1. Enable developer mode in tab.
2. Download APD_offline_ME70C.zip and follow the step mentioned in contentupdateSOP0624.pdf.Once you go thought all the step mentioned .Tab will start playing the demo. (Note:-it will to update around 4-5mins, you check in notification bar)
3. Now need to deactivate the demo mode.
When the demo video playing on screen
Hold Back Key for more than 10 seconds, until is shows a page to key in password 741603.
The tab will automatically reboot and wipe all user data and deactivate demo mode.
Wait until factory reset complete. Once everything is finished tab will boot up with welcome screen
In this process the tab will be factory reset .So backup the data
I found the APD file and contenASUS website

I found this thread while looking for a way to unlock the bootloader but I did not do step 7 - I used 1.46r (attached), installed it, forgot network, went to airplane mode, ran Root Zenphone and then rebooted (not to recovery) and I am now rooted with Busybox installed and not in Demo Mode (and didn't have to disable it)

I cannot get into Recovery Mode. I boot into Fastboot, select Recovery mode, unit reboots, see the ASUS logo and then it hangs and eventually goes to a blank screen. Almost like the recovery partition is empty.
I was trying to restore my tablet back to a fresh install so I ran (in fastboot mode):
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
How can I get stock recovery back? All I can do it get into fastboot mode. Unit has no OS on it now since I wiped the system partition.
Hi,
So i tried to update my galaxy s6 edge t mobile to the latest firmware and once it did, it got stuck in the samsung screen and wont boot. The phone was rooted before, and now it just stays stuck. I have restarted the phone and now I have tried flashing the phone using Odin. It keeps saying failed and it shows the following:: " SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 2, BINARY: 1". I have tried downloading the firmware but it just keeps failing. When it updated, it should have updated to 5.1.1 since thats the latest which means i cant just put any other one right?
I dont know what to do to be honest, if anyone can help me i would really appreciate it.
anyone?
Have you tried using Smart Switch to restore Stock firmware?
There are a few solutions mate
1st One:
1) Put your phone into download mode using "Volume Down-Home-Power" combo until your screen comes into download mode and still hold it untill the screen goes off.
2)Quickly switch to recovery mode using "Volume Up-Home-Power" in the black screen and get into recovery
a)if it loads something and says erased... please start from the 1st step again
3)Wipe cache/ factory reset do these things in the recovery mode then reboot.
you should be good to go. If not theres another solution.
--------------------------------------------------
2nd One:
1)Put your phone into download mode.
2)Connect ur phone to the computer via usb and open smart switch
3)Press view more button on the right top.
4)Choose the 1st option as "emergency recovery and restore"
5)Put your model and serial number (its on the backside of the phone)
6)then follow the instructions of the smartswitch
thats it

Ok so my phone stays stuck in the samsung screen and smart switch stays stuck saying connecting to your device. i really dont wanna try the factory reset thing because i havent backed up the files on my phone
Ok so i got to flash it with 5.1.1 using odin but once its done it keeps staying stuck in the samsung logo screen....again.
Just did factory reset and still gets stuck at the damn samsung logo..
I am willing to pay if someone can help me solve this issue
I also noticed that once the downloading portion of the phone is done, it says installing with the android robot picture, then halfway it says erasing and then it restarts and gets stuck at the samsung logo
=(
you need to do wipe cache and, wipe data and factory reset. That erasing part is normal. Your phone is not bricked. That android robot portion just verifies the stock recovery and partitions. No problem with it. just wipe cache dalvik and everything what you can find (there are 2 options already) on the recovery.

Swipe Elite Plus Fully Wiped "No OS" Stuck on Swipe Logo
As for now reaching every corner of my no OS issue I can Quote sure problem happend to my device.
I really want to explain everything how it happed. Firstly
1.I bought Swipe Elite Plus 2 monts back, everything was fine but then suddenly after one week using at the mornig time I see Phone shutting down after every 2 to 4 min.
2. When I head to settings "about phone" phone backs to home screen if I swipe to and fro 5 to 6 time device switch offs' .
So wasn't stepping towards flashing .... before flashing what I did was
1. reset.. then hard reset... switch off hold volume + and Power button bootloader hardreset. Evrything done but the result was same (hangs /switch off).
2. In recovery mode i can see 9 times reset logs.. gave up..then
I googled for stock rom... I could not find for first 1 month or two until now...
3. Then I downloaded stock rom for this device (Swipe Elite Plus) found from previously posted swipe forums links (google drive), Drivers, Tools, and Stock Rom...everything.
4. But I get... sahara Fail...this is not possible with Sahara protocol..
#
# Tried several times.. changing ports...Qualcom driver installation.... everything was right (doubted driver problem ~but tried everything/manual port driver update to Qualcom.... QLoader 9008)...
# But sahara Fail.... Cannot procced with sahara protocol....
---------------------
Read forum.... thought to root....rooted with iroot(not sure rooted or not rooted) however TWRP flashed... and wiped everthing now no OS....
# No way to connect to pc. I can hear connection (sound) when i plug in usb to phone then phone switch on and stuck on swipe elite plus logo..
# however I can enter to TWRP recovery by volum up + power button...and When I go to "power off" from reboot option in TWRP phone offs' then on again and stuck on swipe logo, while usb cable is still connected and I can hear connection sound but no signs (nothing) of device at "Device Manager"....
#Can I have any ROM/CM to flash from internal memory as I can still access Internal storage (through PC) in TWRP mode and rooted...??.I will try...
#Do I need convert emax mini/ TCL M3G ..?? But no way to usb connecion??? only sound...( I am Using win7 32bit)
Any Links to flash file plz....????
My swipe elite plus wont boot
Well.. somehow I have QFIL flashed the TCL M3G rom following the UMI forum tutorial..
But I can not restore QCN backup (Downloaded from given link 216kb) bcz.. Port is not Showing 9091 com port.... When I go to QFIL>>Tools tab>>backup /restore>> then select the downloaded QCN file then backup and restore button is inactive...I know it bcz of com Port ....QDoader 9008(COMxx)...
# But then If I try to Switch on it Stuck on Small Linux logo (No more Swipe Elite Plus/phone changed to TCL M3G)...And sometimes Loads big "Android" Logo for 1 or 2 then shuts down and nothing happens.... I can boot to bootloader....TWRP is Gone...
# I did try to flash the stock rom found at aplush.xyz but this time it is again Sahara Fail...Sahara..Fail...
What Can I do...??? :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Hi All
I have samsung A5 2017. When i start my phone it shows no command and it continues to restart after 1 minute.
When i try to open recovery mode i get error "fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)". I have also tried combination of key power and volume up but not getting recovery mode. I think it has been deleted or something else. I am also unable to load firmware.
I also tried to install twrp with odin 3.13 but get error unable to install frp locked.
Please tell me solution how can i get back recovery mode so that i can install firmware.
Please help me for this.
Hey there,
I have a similar issue and I can see your post dates back to 2020. Have you ever found a way?
I'm very curious about solving the issue on mine (I can't reboot at all, can't even access the reboot after getting the "no command" message. If you have any clue on how you accessed reboot mode and can be kind enough to share, this would be really appreciated )
I know this is an old thread, but did you find a solution?
On an unlocked J6, after flashing the stock rom, although I can open recovery, I get the same message. The options I tried (both reboot options, both wipe options, power off) work. I went ahead and installed twrp through odin, which passed, but when I boot into recovery, it boots into samsung recovery (with the same message) and not twrp.
I'm guessing the twrp problem is related to the error message.
