Stuck on "erasing", took longer than 24 hours and still stuck.

(NOTE: My phone is not rooted)

My ASUS Zenfone 2 is stuck at the "erasing" screen. When I started the factory reset, it went to the "erasing" screen. After reading other threads, I thought it was normal to format between 12-24 hrs. It has been about 28 hours, with my phone plugged in while formatting, and it is still stuck...

All methods, including hard reset and recovery mode took me back to the same screen, and still stuck. Can anyone help me? :crying:

unlocking Bootloader without erasing userdata?



Hello,
i have a Nexus 7 2013 edition.
I updated the device and something went really wrong.
I want to unlock the Bootloader to flash it, but it don't work, because everytime i try to unlock it, the tablet wants to erase userdata. This is were the Nexus stucks.

When i try to unlock the device, this happens:


Code:


C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem unlock
...
(bootloader) Unlocking bootloader...
(bootloader) erasing userdata...


I tried to erase the partition without and with "-u" and "-w" but everything failed (i aborted because it went forever)


Code:


C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot erase userdata
******** Did you mean to fastboot format this ext4 partition?
erasing 'userdata'...
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 392.412s

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot erase userdata -u
