Phone Stuck in Boot after Clearing Cache - Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 Questions & Answers

Need Help!!!!
I cleared the cache from Stock recovery (which I do regularly) after that the phone is stuck in the boot at Zenfone logo (dots moving). However it does ask for the password before that and every thing works there, after that it is stuck there forever, nothing happens.
Things I have already tried:
1) Flashing Stock Rom using the Stock Recovery
2) Clearing the Cache again
3) Flashing the updated Stock Rom (Pie)
Able to boot in to recovery and fastboot mode, however bootloader is LOCKED and ADB is DISABLED as well.
Is there any way to recover the data from the phone? It is important for a legal case, and I was not in the position to take the backup, sorry for that.
It would be very greatfull if some once can help me recover this important data or start the phone.
Or should I just go ahead and factory reset the phone?

GT-I9505 Stuck at Boot

I decided to unroot my S4 seeing as though a rom I had flashed was screwing around with my system. I eventually was able to flash a stock rom via kies, but now the phone is stuck at the boot screen (Samsung logo with blue light).
I have tried booting into recovery mode, but for some reason after 5 seconds, it just ignores it and goes into standard boot, something that it has done since I flashed the bad rom.
Would anyone know a fix for this?
Thanks in advance.
An update. I managed to get into recovery mode but instead of the normal android with the blue square, the android is on the ground with a red triangle. I've wiped cache and data, but still getting stuck at the boot screen.
Some help would be appreciated.

There is a 50/50 chance that if you go back into twrp/cwm custom recovery
and do a "factory reset" it would boot up normally unless you also wiped
"system".
Good luck!

Have you tried to Odin back to stock?

XT1575 Reset Loop

After messing up a rom flash somehow (phone was stuck on a gray screen after logo), I used the stock recovery factory reset function, but after doing so my phone is stuck in an 'erase loop'. The phone alternates between the "Erasing..." screen (with the little droid) and the "Bootloader Unlocked" screen.
I can enter the main menu for recovery mode, but if I try to go into the actual recovery mode (where you can wipe and install from sd/adb) the loop starts up again. I haven't seen this issue mentioned many other places, but the one forum I did find (for a different phone) just said to wait it out (20+ hours).
I was wondering if anyone else had ever encountered this, or if anyone had any suggestions for me.

Try flashing TWRP recovery image using fastboot. I presume you have bootloader unlock otherwise you wouldn't ended up in this mess in first place.
First reboot your phone into the bootloader (POWER+VOL-) from here you can connect your phone to PC and issue fastboot commands.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/TWRP.img
After that don't reboot the phone , just select from the already present bootloader the Recovery option... And from there try to factory reset !
If that doesn't work, and the phone doesn't boot (bootloops), you might have the /system partition messed up. At this stage get your hand on the latest Stock Firmware for your phone and flash all the system chunks (no data will be lost, but might need to wipe cache after if you get too many Force Closed)
That is for sure if you want to have stock, you could also try and flash using TWRP a custom ROM, that by itself will restore your system partition ( wipe system before flashing to be sure, by going into wipe -> Advanced -> tick System and the two Cache options and Wipe)
Hope I was clear, ask if you need more step-through details!
Thank you very much, flashing TWRP worked!

Bootloader locks itself, can't restore via fastboot

Hi,
recently my friend asked me wether I can look at her P8 Lite which wasn't working after beeing left unused for some time. Basically when she got a new phone this P8 was left in box for a few months and after turning it back on the screen included in attachment appeared. https://imgur.com/a/WcvNByN I'm not new when it comes to unlocking bootloaders and all that stuff as I was doing it many times on another devices so I tought it will be easy job. Well, was I wrong... What I tried so far to recover this phone:
1) I obtained all necesary data to get the bootloader unlock code from Huawei. When I want to unlock the bootloader it works but after I reboot the device it goes back to "Locked" state.
2) It does not boot to recovery with buttons combination.
3) It does boot to fastboot but as I said bootloader locks itself down after reboot.
4) I tried to place UPDATE.APP from various firmweares on SD card and update it that way, it takes extremly long but with this metod it boots to some kind of MIUI recovery in which I have 3 options: wipe cache, wipe data/factory reset, rebboot system. Depending on firmweare it allows me to wpie cache or/and wipe data but reboot system always fails taking me back to this rescue mode screen.
5) Finally I tried to flash stock rom by extracting files from UPDATE.APP via fastboot. It flashes everything except recovery and boot which gives me fastboot error: "FAILED (remote: flash write prim vrl failure)". Interestingly I can flash TWRP recovery without error but when i try to access it whit buttons combination it fails and goes to rescue mode.
Device was stock and unrooted before this. I'm kind of out of ideas, I searched a lot of topics without any conlusion on this, if anyone could help me I wolud really appreciate this. However I think there is no hope for this phone maybe someone here would be able to help.

Oh no... You should contact Huawei and don't tell them that you tried to unlock the bootloader. Your phone may have a thing named "Huawei eRecovery". Launch it, it will download and flash stock ROM.

I had the same error on my Huawei P8 Lite 2017 but I broke it myself.
The only way I was able to fix it by not taking it to a store was to use DC Phoenix,but it costs 20 euros for a 3 day license.
It was worth it though,since it did first of all lock the bootloader again,and it bootlooped at first but then I went to eRecovery and it installed the latest update and booted up.

[Help] [Emergency] Locked bootloader IN2025 data very important corrupted boot

So today I updated the phone and suddenly it wont boot and tried wiping cache and system settings and still it wont boot.
Right now MSMtool looks like the only option, but anyway to save the data?
