Hi guys,
I have to send me N1 to htc for fix some problem.
I have RA recovery with lock bootloader, and I want to flash the original, but "fastboot" way doesen't work (signature fail ).
How can i flash it in other way?

Just flash the stock rom with the recovery image like frf92 original.

How? Through recovery? Because "fastboot" hates me, and won't work.
I'd suggest using a passimg for frf85b and then maybe updating to 91 (or just leave it at 85), you can always re-root when you get it back.

got it, thk to cyanogen wiki
Plug the phone into the computer
Reboot into fastboot by holding TrackBall + Power (you should see three Androids on skateboards and the words 'fastboot USB' in red)
On the computer, open a command prompt cd to the sdk/tools directory (we will assume the SDK is located in C:\android-sdk and the recovery file is in the root of the sdk/tools directory for the following steps)
With the phone connect via USB, open up a cmd prompt
Code:
adb reboot recovery"
Code:
adb devices
A device name and 'recovery' should be returned
Code:
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img
recovery.img is located on android-sdk/tools dir
Code:
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
This permanently flashes the recovery.img to your phone, you can now boot into it by holding Vol- while powering on the device
Reboot

Thanks for searching!
I hope this encourages other users new to ADB, flashing ROMs, etc. to continue to search after asking for help.
Way to go nrdmtt!!
This is a completely a stock Rom for the Lenovo Ideapad K1 Tablet. This is the latest update Honeycomb version 3.2.1, update 14_14_120109.
This will work for those lucky few who are plagued by the bootloader error when trying to apply the latest OTA.
Unsupported menu option selected: 1
Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x00000002)
It does include all the original third party apps.
If you do not want the third party apps
Before flashing
1. Open the 'files' directory
2. Rename userdata.img to userdata.img.bak
3. Rename userdata_blank.img to userdata.img
This Rom is NOT rooted

Thanks to Whitesnake for being the Guinea Pig while we figured out what was causing the bootloader issue.
Umm.. Whitesnake.. not whitehawk LOL
Looks like you put together a super package...
But I've got problems:
NVflash isn't working for me...
I just get an error:
Code:
C:\Adb\K1\NVFlash>nvflash -w
Nvflash started
rcm version 0X4
Command send failed (usb write failed)
My device is stuck in bootloops from flashing direct to K1_A301_13_13_111209_US.zip by renaming it update.zip and putting it in the Downloads folder.
Any idea what's going on? Should I just try to return it straight away?
EDIT: I'm bulled a bone head move. I was testing out nvflash, but in a directory without the files it needs! ha! All's well...
Is this tools can applied to umts model?
Hey broo I really apreciatte your work but the links are down and I really need this because I got that Famous Bootloop.
Thanks
thanks for the mirror, but a little cuestion: the nvflash drivers are the same for all the tegra 2 devices?... cause the link of the nvflash driver is down...
thanks¡¡
I want to use this w/o the 3rd party apps but there is no userdata_blank.img file to rename. Sorry if it's a noob question.
Links dead
Please reupload.
Just get Kaschemme NVflash, his are current.

is there a similar solution for thinkpad ?
mine boots directly to "Booting Kernel Recovery Image" and hangs for a few second then powers down.
hello,
plz update download links
Droid 3 Flash Failure
I assume it is possible to fix this problem but I can not find a solution despite extensive research. I have a Droid 3, XT862 experiencing:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)(Flash Failure)
Every time I start the phone I get this message. I can get around it by using Power+M, going into Boot Mode Selection Menu and using Normal Powerup. I have Safestrap v1.08 installed and am able to run 5.6.890 as my safe ROM and Hash’s Cyanogen ICS and both ROM’s work great.
Having to go through these procedures is a pain. I have tried to SBF. I have attempted to flash using RSD Lite. All attempts fail. I would appreciate any help or even an explanation of what the problem may be. Thanks.
Hello
dowlnoad moto-fastboot
download swu.zip file
( moto-fastboot file and downloaded swu.zip file must be extracted to that same folder )
turn on phone by using power + vol down
and in CMD use a command
moto-fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img
( you know, how to use a CMD in windows right ? )
after that reboot your phone all should be ok
You Give Me Too Much Credit
Thank you so very much for your help. I have moto-fastboot but have no idea where to obtain the swu.zip file. Any help would be appreciated. CMD in windows, what? Sorry, I am 62 years old, have no experience with this stuff. I thought I was doing well by rooting, strapping, and loading two ROMs. So if you could give me just a little more help here, I will kiss your avatar on the screen (which actually looks pretty hot!). Thanks.
Weird! Could you detail at which step RSD Lite failed to flash the ROM onto your phone? Normally, RSD Lite is the first to call when it comes to flash or unbrick Motorola phones. It's never failed me once since using on my Milestone.
Anyway, I don't know if you've read this instruction. This is pretty much foolproof. The link for the file is dead, you could try this to obtain it.
Good luck!
1. Download full system files from that link
http://www.multiupload.nl/PLYL79UDCC or from link what you got from blackbuddha
1a. make directory on C: and name it 1
2. extract this file to folder c:/1/
3. download moto-fastboot files
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=635568&d=1308927194
end extract to C:/1/ where you have system droid3 system files
you must have moto-fastboot file and preinstall.img file in that same folder
( so you must check and if this both file is in diffrent folders please copy all to c:/1/)
4. click on start and in type CMD (and push enter)
5. in this black window ( CMD ) input cd/ (and push enter)
6. now type cd 1 (and push enter) you will go to folder 1
7.and now type moto-fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img (and hit enter)
*** update ***
You must turn on phone with hold POWER + VOL DOWN buttons i forgot

moto-fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img
moto-fastboot flash cdrom cdrom
moto-fastboot flash radio radio.img
moto-fastboot flash system system.img
and this should help for 100% to you
Still working on this
I, original poster, still working on this to solve problem. Have two Droid3s so I have time to work on it. Will try later today. Thanks.
Does Not work!! Lint in the blowhole?
OK, I have tried this cure multiple ways and it just does not work. I downloaded multiple copies of the files to be installed. I have used CMD as described above but it just does not "flash". When I add the command line in CMD my hard drive cranks and spins, loading the files to be flashed. Then I get <waiting for device>. I put the phone into AP Flashboot Phone battery is OK, and plug in the USB cable. I get Erasing "userdata"...OKAY [0.047s] and Erasing 'cache" ...OKAY [0.156s] CMD says Sending "recovery" <9216 KB>... and nothing. I have waited, and waited. There is just something that prevents the files from being flashed in. Any possible ideas? It is obviously connecting if it can erase, but it will not send.
When using RSD Lite, the phone is detected as Fastboot CDMA_Solana S. When I attempt to flash the SBF file it says: Failed flashing process. Unable to retrieve interface handle. [0x7027]; phone connected.
You also try to flash mbm.bin and mbmloader.bin finally or not ?
MBM.BIN
MBMLOADER.BIN
this two files must work
moto-fastboot flash mbm mbm.bin
moto-fastboot flash mbmloader mbmloader.bin
must work ! look if you have this both files in that same folder where is fast-boot.exe
if you dont have download from here
http://speedy.sh/gURdE/mbmloader.bin
http://speedy.sh/UHGVd/mbm.bin
Thanks again but no luck
Tried to flash just these two files and no luck. The same process as described above occurred, then it did not flash the files. I am about ready to give up and just put up with having to use two steps to start the phone.
Are you on one of the leaked OTA ROMs (.902, .905, or .906)?
I am on .905 and also have this same issue. Cannot flash anything with RSD Lite and I get the AP-FastBoot Flash Failed message everytime I reboot.
I think we need a new version of RSD Lite.
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
Maybe Tha's The Problem
Perhaps you have put your finger on the problem. I have .906 currently installed. I am using RSD Lite 5.6 which I assume, but do not know, is the latest version available. My only reservation in agreeing that this may be the problem is that I believe I had 5.6.890 installed when I bricked and tried to unbrick using Pete's unbricking script. Flash would not work. Later I recovered by installing .906 from recovery (I think) and then continued to be unable to flash. So it could be a .906 problem but maybe not.

#If U Successfully unlocked ur Bootloader then,
place the recovery image in the same directory as fastboot.
Open a terminal on your PC and reboot the device into fastboot mode by typing
adb reboot bootloader
or by using the hardware key combination
(press & hold Volume down and power button When phone is off)
#Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing
fastboot devices
If you don't see your device serial number, and instead see "<waiting for device>", fastboot is not configured properly on your machine.
#Flash recovery onto your device by entering the following command:
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img
where the latter part is the filename of the recovery image.
Once the flash completes successfully, reboot the device into recovery to verify the installation. Boot to recovery instructions: Hold Volume Down & Power simultaneously. On the next screen use Volume Down to scroll to recovery and then use Volume Up to select.
I successfully installed twrp recovery system but I can't do any backup, the system reboot in the process...
flash the recovery again and try...

TWRP 2.8.0.1 Back up fails to both internal and external SD.
When external selected, backup starts but after 10 to 30 seconds it reboots the device. It starts to back up files and then just reboots. If I don't select compress backup, then it starts to backup more files before it reboots. Seems to be time related. Also tried unplugging while backing up and same issue.
Folders get created in all cases for external SD but data files. Not sure where the log files would get stored. Suspect they don't get created as the system reboots during the backup
Hello everyone, ionioni as provided us c6j7 users a way to unbrick our tablets through dnx mode. Make sure your device is c6j7 before flashing or you can hard brick your device.
1. Copy the following files into your fastboot directory on your pc:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6T0AoMyuEfHM09JemJnNGhBa28/view?usp=sharing
2. Boot the device into dnx/fastboot (pressing power and Vol+/Vol- at the same time)
3. Plug the device in via usb, open up a command prompt in your fastboot directory and type the following:
4. fastboot flash osloader bios_restore_c6j7.efi
5. fastboot boot boot.img
