[Q] Reroot after 4.3.3 ota update? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, first of all thanks to be there always, I was on insertcoin 6.0.4, then I just thought to grab ota, so I flash stock backup zip and stock recovery , grab ota installed it, now I can't reroot it, now I am s off with lock bootloader, please help, I tried to push custom recovery in fastboot but nothing happened, it just keep saying waiting for device.

First of all wrong thread, this should be in QnA. Secondly, make sure you connect your phone straight to the USB port on your computer (do not use external USB hub) if your phone is connected to the computer, in fastboot you should see fastboot USB. And make sure your phone is in fastboot mode in the boot loader.

Sorry to post at wrong place, I will try and get back to you, many thanks.

Right now I don't have access to my pc, so I will try it later, but is it possible to reroot, what is probability.

Unlock your bootloader first

There should be a adb command to unlock bootloader since your s off

So you should have debugging enable in developer option, but there is no developer option in my setting menu, though it says it is test device, is it fine if there is no developer option or it is not there natively in 4.3, could that be the reason.

Settings > About > Software information > More > Tap on build number about 10 times.
It should say something like"you are now a developer". Now go back out and developer options should be above the About options. Usb debugging is in there.

I messed up trying to flash a rom, please help!

I have a motorola atrix HD (MB886), It is rooted. Last night I tried to flash a rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2244963). I forgot to make sure USB Debugging was on, and I failed to read ahead and did not unlock the bootloader. I tried to flash it using methods that had previously worked for me and now the only thing I can do is go through the AP Fastboot menu, the Android System Recovery menu, and the Boot menu. I had backed up my ROM before attempting to flash through safestrap and TWRP, I have the backup file but I cannot access the safestrap menu to restore the ROM I had backed up.
I have tried to unlock the bootloader and it does nothing. I cannot figure out how to get my device to be shown by my computer in ADB mode to remotely enable USB Debugging. My computer recognizes the device in fastboot mode, but I cannot find anything to enable the usb debugging to unlock the bootloader. Is there something I am missing here? I already contacted my Phone company and there is no way to get a replacement. Someone please help me! I'm just lost at this point.....

New Nexus 6 stuck in a bootloop trying to update to 5.1, please help.

Hey everyone I'm looking here as my last resort before sending my phone back to Motorola.
Bought a Nexus 6 from motorola uk which was delivered yesterday, switched phone on and all the Google apps on the phone updated, then had a notification OTA to download and install android 5.1 which I did, towards the end of the install process I had an error with the green android and a red exclamation mark.
I powered the device off with the power button and it turned back on and ever since it says "Android is starting" "Optimizing app 1 of 125" once it goes through all the apps it gets to the android boot screen then just goes back to the "Android is starting" "Optimizing app 1 of 125" over and over and over. (Infinite bootloop)
Pointers: The phone is not unlocked or rooted as I'm a noob its just fresh out the box, also I never opened/unlocked the developer options.
I have tried various recovery mode fixes, wiping cache and wiping all data and then rebooting the device with no luck.
Is there anyway I can hook my N6 up to my computer and fix this with a tool kit etc? I'm willing to try but I'd need basic instructions and reassurance it wouldn't muck up my warranty if it didn't work as my only other option is to exchange for a new device.
Any help, advice etc would be hugely appreciated. Thanks

Read the guide on how to fastboot flash a factory image. No toolkit necessary.
Would you mind posting a link to a guide? I forgot to add that I don't want my phone to become rooted by trying to fix this issue, I want to keep it stock like it was, also does not have developer options enabled stop me from going further.
Sorry for the questions I'm a noob to this and quite anxious.

I've made the fastboot adb folder on my PC and attached my phone whilst it was in bootloader mode, I types in the command box adb devices and there is no list of attached devices.
I presume this is because I didn't enable developer options or USB debugging?

When in bootloader mode type : fastboot devices
-Edit- just read that your bootloade is still locked so i`am afraid there is nothing you can do to fix the issue as you cannot flash firmware with a locked bootloader. Best is to claim warranty because of a software issue while updating.

Thought this would be the case, I went into adb fastboot and typed in fastboot devices and its showing some letters and numbers next to fastboot on screen if that helps.
In the future I presume I should make sure to enable developer options first so I can get out if this mess?
Also would it be best when I get my new n6 just to sideload the latest update marsmellow by getting the factory image from the Google website? Last question can I skip from 5.0 straight to 6.0 sideloading or do I have tobdo it one at a time?
Thanks for trying to help matey

Next time enable usb debugging and ENABLE OEM UNLOCK, both in developer options. You can flash the latest firmware available directly in fastboot by flashing the individual img files.

It says this on my Nexus 6 phone screen.
Unlock bootloader?
If you unlock the bootloader, you will be able to install custom operating system on this phone.
A custom OS is not subject to the same testing as the original OS, and can cause your phone and installed applications to stop working properly.
To prevent unauthorized access to your personal data, unlocking the bootloader will also delete all personal data from your phone (a "factory data reset".)
Press the volume up/down buttons to select yes or no. Then press power button to continue.
Yes (Unlock bootloader, may void warranty)
No. ( Do not unlock bootloader and restart phone)

Nexus 6 bootloader troubles

ok i have a bit of an issue.
simply put i was attempting to remove xposed, root, busy box. really just about any and all modifications. so i attempted to flash a stock 5.1.1 from google... i think i flashed the wrong one. because everything went fine through the flashing, but the phone wont boot past the google splash screen.... well as the derp i am. i locked the boot loader after because i was planning on sending it back to at&t. well now. im attempting to try a few different 5.1.1 images. (which in writing this im thinking... that isnt probably the best course of action.)
well i guess what this leads to is..... first.... which image do i use.
i was running 5.1.1 before all the modifications. so i just attempted to flash a 5.1.1 for all carriers cept T-moblie
i used shamu from this site https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu
i also want to toss it out that the phone has been dropped....so internal damage might be a possibility, but i doubt thats it since it was fine before the flash.
so over what image should i flash? and is there a way to unlock the bootloader without going into the settings and chekcing the OEM box under dev options? because accessing the phone is basically limited to boot loader and recovery right now.
If you locked the bootloader, you cannot flash factory images. If you still have a custom recovery installed, install a custom ROM. Otherwise, you need to find the Android N Preview 1 OTA zip, which should be on these forums, and flash it through stock recovery. The OTA is a complete system image, and will update your system regardless of whether the bootloader is locked or not.
Regardless of which way you install a ROM, reveal the Developer Options menu and check "Enable OEM Unlock". Then you can unlock the bootloader and flash a fresh Android 6.0.1 factory image from Google, which is carrier agnostic.

ok well first i appreciate the reply
so basically the set up is i am running stock recovery with a locked boot loader.
if i use this Android N Preview 1 OTA zip. this will allow me access to the dev options which then i can boot up to check the bootloader box? then i can flash 6.0.1.
if that's right then awesome! i appreciate the help. so just so i don't fall back into this mistake. i have the AT&T version of the Nexus 6.
so if there is a specific Image i need, could you please point me to it?
I'd rather not have this happen again lol. the reason i ask is because the site i posted in my Original post has like 4 version of the 6.0.1 image that i can choose from. and since my track record of doing this hasn't panned out all that well so far i figured id just ask for specifics before attempting anything because clearly i messed up and have very little understanding of what im doing.
again. i really appreciate your advice
"Carrier agnostic" in my previous post means it doesn't matter what carrier you have. With Android 6.0.1, the system images no longer have carrier customization within them. The carrier-specific stuff is downloaded when the phone is set up with the SIM inserted.
As for your current setup, install the Android N preview OTA by sideloading it in recovery, boot into Android, enable developer options, and enable OEM unlock. From there, you need to make sure you have on the PC drivers for the Nexus installed, as well as Fastboot and ADB. Unlocking the bootloader as well as installing the Android 6.0.1 system image require it. If you need a walkthrough, there should be tutorials for both installing the Android N OTA as well as installing a system image in the General section of the Nexus 6 forums.

well when using the adb devices command... my device wont show up. i can get it to show up when i reboot into bootloader and use fastboot devices, but it wont register in the recovery. could it be because i dont think i have ADB debugging checked? since i flashed new image on it and now i cant access the menus i cant chenc the debugging box either.
So where are you getting stuck? The OTA needs to be copied to internal storage and installed from there. You shouldn't need ADB or Fastboot until after you install the N preview.

ok so im lost now. i need to take the tgz file and put it on my phone then when i go to the recovery i need to sideload it?.. dont you do that by having it sideload the file from your PC? right? well my issue now is that i cant get it to show its storage on my PC. when booted into recovery the device wont even show up on my PC at all and when it boots into fastboot it regesters, but i cant do anything because the bootloader isnt unlocked i also cant unlock it via command because the OEM checkbox hasnt been checked. and i cant check the oem box via usb debugging because my device doesnt regester when in recovery.
so im not sure. where to go from here. is there a way to place the file on my phones storage via fastboot or usb debugging? preferably fastboot because ADB commands dont seem to regester to my phone at all.
You need to start reading, which I recommended if you needed a walkthrough.

you can only use fastboot, while you're in the bootloader, to do anything.. unlock it, flash a factory image, flash a custom recovery. adb will do nothing and see nothing.

yeah thats what i was thinking. the other guy was saying to sideload using recovery, but tbh i wasnt sure how to sideload and i didnt wanna be rude and act like you guys were my personal helpers. so i googled how to just to get a general idea. the idea that i got was that you needed to sideload anything by downloading it to your PC then using adb to install it.
apparently i dont know as much as i think. hes helping me out alot, but im not sure how to pull a file onto a phone that wont boot. i thought maybe i could transfer it via adb,but i think that boat is gone. since it seems i can only use fastboot, but idk of a way to transfer a file onto my phone via fastboot.
i appreciate the help though. thanks

ok. so all of these say i should download it to the phone so i can sideload it using the recovery.... well this is the issue. the phones storage wont register on my PC. so transferring a file normally isnt gonna be possible (unless im doing something wrong and theres a way to make it show up). is there a way i could transfer it onto the device via fastboot?
Edit:
after doing some reading. i have found out i may not have adb drivers installed... ive looking into how to install them, but the only option i found was through a downloader which seems to stop after a bit of the download saying its waiting for something... so im completely lost as to what to do from here.

Tutorial: Root LeEco S3

After seeing people not being able to root their S3 and rooting mine successfully, I have decided to make this tutorial to help those out there. This tutorial covers the procedures I took to successfully root my LeEco S3 US edition with EUI 5.8.018S and Snapdragon 652 processor. My phone is permantly rooted and has permanent TWRP recovery.
Make sure your phone has developer options and has usb debugging as well as the option to unlock the bootloader enabled
First off, download the AIO Toolkit created by Rishabh Rao here
Secondly, open the toolkit. Make sure to turn off your antivirus to avoid any interruptions. Once in the toolkit, select item 6 and allow the program to download necessary files. After the files have downloaded, select item 1 to install ADB/Fastboot USB drivers. During this process, PDA Net will prompt you to connect your phone to the computer. It will download the client onto your computer and install the PDA Net application onto your phone. When the drivers are fully installed, close the toolkit.
Open command prompt and run ADB. With your phone plugged in and in recovery mode, type fastboot oem unlock-go and you should see it attempting to unlock the bootloader. If you get a successful message of unlocking your bootloader, you are ready to move on to the next step as this is a temporary unlock. Close the command prompt.
Open the toolkit again, select item 6 and then select item 3 to unlock bootloader completely. When it has finished, go back to select item 4 to check and see if the bootloader has been unlocked. If so, move on to selecting item 5 to flash the latest TWRP recovery.
When the TWRP recovery has installed, if it has not booted into recovery by itself, hold down power + volume up to enter it. You will see the recovery all in the chinese language. Simply swipe the unlock to proceed and from the menu, select the box to the right and three down (which is settings). There, select the globe icon and scroll down to select the english language. Now that you can read what is there, go back to the main menu and select wipe to completely wipe the phone back to factory defaults. When it has finished, go back and select Advanced > Tools > Root Device. Your phone will now be rooted when you reboot and will have the latest TWRP recovery installed.
- If you receive the error message saying the device is locked while you are trying to unlock the bootloader from the toolkit, you need to run ADB again to temporary unlock the bootloader.
Quick question - will this only work on 18s and is it possible to update the firmware and keep root after doing this? Or would it work after updating to I think 21s which is the latest?
Thank you!
Hi
Can you break this down further with pictures too? How do I do the command prompt ABD thing?
Root
was this the easiest way? I'm going to try it in two days. Scared to mess my phone up though..
This method does not work on the 23s ROM. Does nothing
What's the best way? Simple way I mean?
Worked for anyone?
these instructions are for the le s3 with SNAPDRAGON processor, not for the MEDIATEK x20 that is where we have the problem
Just got this phone and gonna try this out, thanks ;p
---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------
Actually Ima wait...I've never rooted using TWRP Recovery so not quite familiar with it after the phone's been rooted. I've only used a couple of the one-click root apps, KingRoot and KingoRoot, for a couple phones.
Rooted it fine, now I need to figure out what I can do ;P <--- noob
How were you able to successfully root the phone?

Open the toolkit again, select item 6 and then select item 3 to unlock bootloader completely. When it has finished, go back to select item 4 to check and see if the bootloader has been unlocked. If so, move on to selecting item 5 to flash the latest TWRP recovery.
When the TWRP recovery has installed, if it has not booted into recovery by itself, hold down power + volume up to enter it. You will see the recovery all in the chinese language. Simply swipe the unlock to proceed and from the menu, select the box to the right and three down (which is settings). There, select the globe icon and scroll down to select the english language. Now that you can read what is there, go back to the main menu and select wipe to completely wipe the phone back to factory defaults. When it has finished, go back and select Advanced > Tools > Root Device. Your phone will now be rooted when you reboot and will have the latest TWRP recovery installed.
- If you receive the error message saying the device is locked while you are trying to unlock the bootloader from the toolkit, you need to run ADB again to temporary unlock the bootloader.
