I am kinda stuck here at this part ........
Type the following commands to wipe your Rogers system image (and userdata, and cache) and replace it with the HTC image:
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot flash system system.img
The system will flash and you will see a green progress bar on the fastboot screen while the image is transferring and a red progress bar while it's installing.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
got past erasing part no problem......
then when type in fastboot flash system system.img i get error: cannot load 'system.img'
please help am in limbo at this part...and am noob....lol......
Here is tutorial i am going by
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.ph...to_CyanogenMod
is the system.img file in your sdk/tools directory?
either tell fastboot the path of the system.img
fastboot flash system /file/ishere/system.img
or move the system.img to the location that you are in in your command prompt.
hi there,
been busy all evening on my Mac trying to unlock and root my nexus one retail. Got the phone unlocked after extensive reading on SDK and ADB Hoped that the positive flow would continue when switching over to the rooting process, but unfortunately I seem to get stuck and have failed
I downloaded the correct superboot version for my phone and placed it in my home folder (on same drive as where I successfully did the fastboot procedure for unlocking). And then I entered this in Terminal:
---
suikerchiller-macbook-3:~ suikerchiller$ cd /superboot
suikerchiller-macbook-3:superboot suikerchiller$ chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh
suikerchiller-macbook-3:superboot suikerchiller$ ./install-superboot-mac.sh
ERROR: could not get pipe properties
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... OKAY
suikerchiller-macbook-3:superboot suikerchiller$
---
As a result my phone automatically reboots into basic settings. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong??? I'm a total n00b but am really eager to learn In a bit of trouble now as well, because I don't know what to do anymore and dare to touch my fone either.
Any help would be great. Can't wait to finally be released from Vodafone's retail nexus one terror and want to challenge all those ignorant iphone studs out there and show how cool and superior my Nexus one actually is
P.S. I searched for quite some time on the forum and couldn't find a post/thread that was related to my problem. Please forgive me if this is some sort of double post.
If your phone is unlocked, don't bother with superboot, just flash a custom recovery and use it to install the su zip...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
Place the recovery image in your sdk tools folder, place the su zip on your sd card, connect via fastboot and type:
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img
Flash the su zip from recovery, and you're done!
many many thanks for the quick reply I placed the recovery image in my sdk tools folder.
However, still have a couple of questions:
I don't know what you exactly mean with a su zip??? Where can I get this file?
what do you mean with: "flash the su zip from recovery"?
I put a link in my original post. The eclair/froyo version works for gingerbread, also...
Once in recovery, you chose the flash zip from sd option, and then the chose zip from sd option, find and select the zip... It will be obvious when you do it...
sorry, it's still too much rocket science for me I guess
I uploaded the su zip file (did not unzip or rename file) to my sd card (activated usb storage and dropped the zip via Mac in the main folder of my phone).
what do you exactly mean with "connect with fastboot"? I shut down my fone first and pressed power button at same time with track ball. Then I did this:

As you can probably see it didn't really work haha what am I doing wrong? Sorry for my n00biness!
You said you have already unlocked your bootloader. In order to unlock the bootloader I you have to connect with fastboot...
How did you unlock the bootloader?
I unlocked it via the first 7 steps of this procedure (sorry have to copy paste a lot of text because im not allowed to post outside links on forum yet haha):
-----
Connect your Nexus One to your PC/Mac and turn it off.
Hold the trackball and hit the power button (while holding the trackball). You should see the following bootloader screen.
Now from the files you downloaded previously, you will see a folder called ‘fastboot‘ (if you extracted fastboot.zip that is!).
On a Windows machine – launch Command Prompt and CD to fastboot folder. (Type in ‘cd ‘ (without the quotes and drag and drop the fastboot folder to the command prompt). Type in ‘cd fastboot‘ again and now type the following command ‘fastboot-windows oem unlock‘ (without quotes) and hit enter.
On a Mac or Linux machine – launch the Terminal and CD to fastboot folder (type in ‘cd ‘ and drag and drop the folder. Now hit enter.). Now CD to the other fastboot folder and type the following (without quotes): ‘./fastboot-mac oem unlock‘ (for Mac) or ’./fastboot-linux oem unlock’ (for Linux) and hit enter. You will see the following. Ignore the error.
This is the screen that you will see now. Use the volume button (on the side) to select ‘Yes’. (Please read the full message displayed on the screen thoroughly). Now push the Power button to select this option (weird, I know. Trackball would have been a better choice to select!).
Great! You have successfully unlocked the bootloader! You will see the unlock image while your phone boots up.
----
I did this successfully and had the black screen and selected unlock phone. So when I press the power button & trackball at same time now I get a white screen now and it says in pink on top: ***Unlocked***
Ok substitute the term fastboot-mac instead of fastboot, into my previous instructions
damn, still doesn't seem to be working:

it's really weird, it looks like my fastboot is not responding anymore... Any idea what's going wrong here???
thanks so much for taking time and helping with figuring this one out!!!
Just tested something. When my phone is switched on normally and connected via USB, Terminal recognizes it as an adb device. However, when I switch into fastboot, Terminal doesn't recognize it:

Is this where the problem resides?? Anyone know how I can fix this???
adb will only work when it can see the adbd on your phone, so the phone had to be booted to either recovery or fully bolted.
fastboot will only connect when your phone is booted in fastboot. If its not connecting, reboot your phone and mac and try again...

Sorry, just re-read this...
Command not found, NOT device not found.
You should be typing fastboot-mac, not fastboot...
Do you have a file called fastboot-mac in the same folder as your adb and recovery img?
rebooted my mac and phone... Still no difference, this is my latest command:
---
suikerchiller-macbook-3:~ suikerchiller$ cd /"Android SDK"/tools
suikerchiller-macbook-3:tools suikerchiller$ fastboot-mac devices
-bash: fastboot-mac: command not found
---
can this be the reason: my fastboot folder is in a different (other) folder than my 'android sdk' folder... should i drag and drop fastboot into the tools folder of sdk???
YES!
Put the fastboot-mac file in the same folder as the other stuff!! xD
haha ok, so I copied my fastboot-mac file (original file from fastboot folder) into AndroidSDK/tools folder. It's in the same folder now where the .img file is in as well.
But it still doesnt seem to be working. These are the commands that I have been using:
---
suikerchiller-macbook-3:~ suikerchiller$ cd /"Android SDK"/tools
suikerchiller-macbook-3:tools suikerchiller$ fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1-CM.img

What's going wrong??? I'm going slightly mental now. Also running out of beer at same time. Not a good combination
can you list the contents of that folder, and tell me what result you get?
this is the list of files in my AndroidSDK/tools folder:
--
suikerchiller-macbook-3:tools suikerchiller$ ls

and here are the commands for fastboot, in case they can be of any usage
suikerchiller-macbook-3:tools suikerchiller$ ./fastboot-mac
usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
commands:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip
flashall flash boot + recovery + system

options:
-w erase userdata and cache
-s <serial number> specify device serial number
-p <product> specify product name
-c <cmdline> override kernel commandline
-i <vendor id> specify a custom USB vendor id
Hmmmmm, well the file is there, so that's really weird because you mac is definately saying that it's the command it can't find...
I'm not much of a mac guy, but I do know that your mac is the one having the problem...
Try:

Well I have tried to install MIUI ROM 6.5.26 after not processing updates for months (since november).
So I downloaded latest ROM and put it to the top of the partitions and then I wiped everything and that's where i might have done a mistake: I wiped internal storage (inside TWRP 2.8.7 i found there http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-...timizing-leo-miui-advanced-tweaks-to-t3286972) then I might have might done a second mistake: I have done the command fastboot 'flash boot boot.img' as I read on an old HTC forum.
Then I pushed the latest ROM to the phone (as it was not there after the wipes) and when I tried installing it, it gave E: unable to mount 'cache' .
Now it seems i cannot enter TWRP, only Fastboot or I am stuck with MI logo.
I just want to install latest ROM, as I have done Titanium Backup before all the mess.
I don't know where i should start.
I am on mac so cannot use Mi Flash

Well, I downloaded it entirely and tried "fastboot the tz", then I get -> "device is locked. Cannot flash images"...
So I guess I locked my bootloader already, somehow... :crying:

Download the fastboot ROM for your Mi phone and place it on your desktop. Double-click on it and Archive Utility will extract the file on the desktop, so you'll get a folder,
now go to terminal an type
cd C:\fastboot
fastboot devices
fastboot oem edl
In order to use the fastboot scripts, you should go to the folder. For that purpose, execute the following command (the folder name may be different in your case, the example below is for cancro):
cd ~/Desktop/cancro_global_images_V7.0.5.0.KXDMICI_20151016.0000.3_4.4_global
Copy the Code
Quick tip: you don't need to write the whole folder name, just type cd ~/Desktop/cancro, then press the Tab key and Terminal will append the folder name automatically.
Once inside, you need to make the scripts (all the files with .sh extension) executable. Execute the following command:
chmod +x ./*.sh
Now, the scripts are ready to use. In order to start the process, issue one of the following commands:
./flash_all.sh
or
./flash_all_except_storage.sh
or
./flash_all_except_data_storage.sh
When you start any of the scripts, you'll see the fastboot messages, flowing through the Terminal window. Once the script has done its work, the phone will restart itself automatically.
When I change directory for the fastboot ROM directory, the fastboot screen on my phone disappears. I have done the steps after that but i see no message on the terminal or the phone screen. My phone screen is black.
Edit: In fact the fastboot screen on my phone disappears when I type fastboot oem edl in my terminal although i get the message OKAY in my terminal.

To unbrick your device you need to have mmcblk0 file.
Here is the procedure for extracting mmcblk0.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...eate-mmcblk0-img-device-t3803176/post76795590
Here is the procedure for unbrick the hard bricked device.
Requirements
Freshly formatted microSD card of at least 32gb (It needs to have at least 31.3gb free after formatting - if it displays as less you will need to buy a 64gb microSD card)
7zip
Linux mint live usb/dvd
USB card reader
Method
The BEST method to flash the sdcard with mmcbk0.img file is to use LINUX!
Windows user have no need to install Linux in pc, you can run Linux from a bootable usb-stick that is at least 8gb or a dvd
Do not run Linux as a virtual machine on Windows! Use the live USB/DVD
0) Put the Moto g5s plus on mains charge until you have finished flashing the sdcard so it's fully charged ready for the boot test!
1) Run Linux, preferably cinnamon or mate versions of Linux Mint
2) Insert the sdcard in pc or card reader and open "Disks" app
3) In "Disks" app select sdcard and you will see the sdcard partitions
4) Press "-" to delete the partition (delete all partitions if there is more than one)
5) Press "+" to create a new one and name it mmcblk0, set FAT(FAT32) file format and press "CREATE"
6) Press "Play" button to mount the sdcard, look to see what path the sdcard has (/dev/sd??) and then close the "Disks" app
7) Go to Desktop, open "Computer" and navigate to the location where the img file is extracted (mmcblk0.img)
8) Open the window where img file is with root (right click on window and select "open as root")
9) In root window open the Terminal (right click on window and select "open terminal")
no need to type "su" in terminal, it has root already (see notes if using Linux live usb/dvd)
10) Type in terminal the command written below and don't forget to eliminate that "1" from the sdcard path,
that "1" can make the difference between the phone booting or not!!!!!
Things to note
Linux Live dvd doesn't have open as root so just open in terminal and add sudo to the start of the commands
I've included this in the commands below
If you get a status error just remove status=progress from the terminal command below
Terminal comands
- if your sdcard is seen like " /dev/sdb1"
in terminal apply this command:
Code:
sudo dd bs=4M if=mmcblk0.img of=/dev/sdb status=progress oflag=sync
-if your sdcard is seen like " /dev/mmcblk0p1"
in terminal apply this command:
Code:
sudo dd bs=4M if=mmcblk0.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 status=progress oflag=sync
and the flashing process should start
When it finishes, test the sdcard in the phone and it should boot!
If you get a size error of the sdcard in terminal you have to change the sdcard and try again!
Thanks to @vaserbanix for the original version of this guide
Re-flash Stock Firmware
Once the phone is in bootloader mode you can flash stock firmware via fastboot
Note that in order to flash gpt the firmware MUST be the same or newer than the version currently on your phone
Once you have firmware that is the same or newer than your current version you can remove the sd card and run these commands (assuming you have fastboot all setup on your pc)
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin

To unbrick your device you need to have mmcblk0 file.
Here is the procedure for extracting mmcblk0.

Here is the procedure for unbrick the hard bricked device.
Requirements
Freshly formatted microSD card of at least 32gb (It needs to have at least 31.3gb free after formatting - if it displays as less you will need to buy a 64gb microSD card)
7zip
Linux mint live usb/dvd
USB card reader
Method
The BEST method to flash the sdcard with mmcbk0.img file is to use LINUX!
Windows user have no need to install Linux in pc, you can run Linux from a bootable usb-stick that is at least 8gb or a dvd
Do not run Linux as a virtual machine on Windows! Use the live USB/DVD
0) Put the Moto g5s plus on mains charge until you have finished flashing the sdcard so it's fully charged ready for the boot test!
1) Run Linux, preferably cinnamon or mate versions of Linux Mint
2) Insert the sdcard in pc or card reader and open "Disks" app
3) In "Disks" app select sdcard and you will see the sdcard partitions
4) Press "-" to delete the partition (delete all partitions if there is more than one)
5) Press "+" to create a new one and name it mmcblk0, set FAT(FAT32) file format and press "CREATE"
6) Press "Play" button to mount the sdcard, look to see what path the sdcard has (/dev/sd??) and then close the "Disks" app
7) Go to Desktop, open "Computer" and navigate to the location where the img file is extracted (mmcblk0.img)
8) Open the window where img file is with root (right click on window and select "open as root")
9) In root window open the Terminal (right click on window and select "open terminal")
no need to type "su" in terminal, it has root already (see notes if using Linux live usb/dvd)
10) Type in terminal the command written below and don't forget to eliminate that "1" from the sdcard path,
that "1" can make the difference between the phone booting or not!!!!!
Things to note
Linux Live dvd doesn't have open as root so just open in terminal and add sudo to the start of the commands
I've included this in the commands below
If you get a status error just remove status=progress from the terminal command below
Terminal comands
- if your sdcard is seen like " /dev/sdb1"
in terminal apply this command:
Code:
sudo dd bs=4M if=mmcblk0.img of=/dev/sdb status=progress oflag=sync
-if your sdcard is seen like " /dev/mmcblk0p1"
in terminal apply this command:
Code:
sudo dd bs=4M if=mmcblk0.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 status=progress oflag=sync
and the flashing process should start
When it finishes, test the sdcard in the phone and it should boot!
If you get a size error of the sdcard in terminal you have to change the sdcard and try again!

Re-flash Stock Firmware
Once the phone is in bootloader mode you can flash stock firmware via fastboot
Note that in order to flash gpt the firmware MUST be the same or newer than the version currently on your phone
Once you have firmware that is the same or newer than your current version you can remove the sd card and run these commands (assuming you have fastboot all setup on your pc)
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img

You can try asking your xda friends, to extract the mmcblk0 file. Or someone with this device you know who can help.
