I can't format my device I enter recovery --> advanced wipe check all things and when he comes to wiping data he restart. Is memory dead ? I still have warranty, but custom recovery is on it, and custom ROM, what to do ?

EDIT:
I tried to wipe one by one(internal storage, system, cache, dalvik, and last data) and he only restarts on data when data is trying to be wiped.

reboot into bootloader, and type the following:

fastboot format system

fastboot format userdata

fastboot erase chace

this should make life easier

It's 1.72 how am I supposed to return my phone to stock I mean it's my only hope. I really don't know what else to do.

I exactly had the same issue with my HOX+.......

I flashed TWRP formatted Internal SDCARD itself to get it working...


But Can u try these commands from fastboot

Code:
fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase cache

reboot into ur recovery

try installing the ROM.........

Read up I already try that, can't use fastboot erase system or data, only erase cache works. I was at TWRP trying to wipe all but can't when trying to wipe data phone restarts. I successfully erase internal storage, system, cache and dalvik in TWRP.

FIXED:
By Installing cwm recovery, and in cwm he manage to wipe all, and I return to TWRP and did the same thing there, now it's all working again, something was messed up, don't know exactly what, but it's gone now.
