Fastboot Reason: Flash Failure - Motorola Atrix HD

I'm trying to flash stock firmware to my Atrix HD but for some odd reason it doesn't let me.
I'm using MythTools.
I tried using RSDLite but no luck.
been trying to figure it out for 3 hours...

did u create a nandroid backup of stock rom ?

Are you running a stock recovery? Unlocked bootloader? What ROM were you running before? I'm not sure if the answer to these 3 items could cause a problem but more information is usually better than less.
What errors are you getting when try to flash?

Custom recovery, Unlocked bootloader, beanstal/kitstalk.
for some odd reason when I was flashing through myth tools it asked which boot logo to use and selected the bootlogo after i selected, nothing else happened.

I had a very similar situation. Are you running Myth Tools as an Administrator? Is your phone detected in fastboot?

I don't think I was running as Administrator...
I'm not sure about that...but i'll check when my phone reaches 50%, it's at 20%.

Myth Tools will run and unzip the stock firmware even if there is no phone detected. Just before you choose the boot logo, run a separate command prompt window to determine whether your phone is detected in fastboot mode by typing "fastboot devices" from the adb directory.

Ok so my phone was detected before selecting the boot logo and also ran myth tools as administrator.

Does the flashing proceed? Mine starts with 10/100, 20/100, etc.

Does the phone boot at all? Do you have a nandroid backup of a stock OS? Did you try flashing a retail mexico or retail bell?

Does not boot at all, I believe I do but it's on my sd card, sadly, it's at my moms house in which is an hour away from town. Nope, just tried flashing att.

It seems that your phone is not actually being flashed even though the flash process appears complete.
After flashing with Myth, immediately boot the phone into recovery and wipe cache, data, and Dalvik. After wiping, try booting the phone into the OS.

should i try flashing ics? or would the problem still persist?

At this point, all I can suggest is re-downloading the stock ATT ROM or try the Mexico Retail. Your phone is not of much use since it doesn't have a working ROM. I've never tried an ICS ROM on an AHD because my phone came with 4.1.2.

[Q] HTC One (AT&T) Factory Restore Help

Hi,
I was just installing the CM 10.1 ROM and I received the error "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped". After this, I tried to reinstall the stock boot.img I got from Android Revolution and I seem to have lost everything on the phone. When connected via USB, the phone folders are normally shown, but now they aren't. As well, when trying to boot, I get stuck at the HTC logo screen. I tried fastboot flash boot boot.img but I keep receiving the error that the device can't be detected and/or the partition "boot.img" can't be found. I did cd c:\Root (my rooting folder) beforehand and boot.img is in there. How do I factory reset as in reinstall original OS with HTC Sense 5 UI on it so that everything went back to when I took it out of the box? If there's a way to do it via TWRP which I have installed, I would love to know how.

i dont think you can flash that type of file. download a rom that is in zip format then flash it or you might be able to use all in one toolkit to push the file u you have to the phone.

[Q] Looking for help. Cant boot phone, recovery nor use adb commands.

Hej guys. I really hope that you can help me with my problem
Have been trying for 2 days and looking at post but haven't been able to get it fixed.
Here goes.
I have been playing around with custom roms on my htc one for a while now.
Then when i was about to install a new custom rom, i first wiped my phone.
I properly wiped something that should not be wiped, because i ended up with no os and no custom rom zip file that i could install in twrp.
I then tryed sideloading revolutions, and it seemed to work because it ended up booting on the phone and i could select what programs too install with it... but halfway through it stoped and rebooted.
now i cant even get into recovery anymore, and booting the phone only gets it to htc briliant logo. Then it restarts and tryes going into recovery, but it cant, and ends up just restarting over and over again.
Tryed flashing cwm and twrp again, but still cant get into recovery.
adb dont fint my device, and i have tryed all drivers i could find.
Tryed using a RUU, but it fails. Properly because its not the right one, but cant fint one that fits.
Sooo... i think im in a real pickle right now.
my radio is :4a.14.3250.13
hboot: 1.44.0000
Thinking about going back with my phone, but with the warranty gone i dont know if they'll even look at it.
Hoping for some advise, or some ideas on what to do.

So I'll try here first. I am having the same issue, I can't get the device to boot into recovery, no matter if I clear the cache, or flash either one of twrp or CWM.
I unlocked the bootloader, I think used the all in one toolkit to flash the recovery. When that didn't work, I erased the cache and manually flashed the recovery, and it said it pushed successfully.
I am at a loss, I have no idea what to try next, any help would be appreciated.
******Finally got it, I had to disable Fast Boot in the Power options in Settings******
How do you copy update.zip from external to internal SD?
Sorry if it's a total no-brainer, but how do I manually copy a recovery zip to the internal update.zip? Can I do this from my phone (which is stuck in a bootloop: see below)? Or do I have to use ADB with my computer?

My situation:
Using Open Recovery I tried to install CM7 with custom kernel on my XT720
It gave an error: "assert failed: write_raw_image... Status 7" As I was looking that up, my phone blackscreened. After a while I pulled the battery.
Then on startup it went into a bootloop after a picture of a broken screen saying "2ndboot kernel restart in progress." (Presumably the kernel wasn't properly applied?)
Trying to boot into bootloader says battery is too low.
Phone will only turn on when plugged into outlet.
What I think I need to do:
- Copy a good update from my external SD over the bad update.zip on the internal SD, and apply the update to reset the kernel, etc.
- Open Recovery could do this, if I could load it.
- I could load Openrecovery if I could get the bootloader to run,
- I could get the bootloader to run if my battery would charge

Updating and restoring to stock issues

I have an HTC One by T-Mobile, Our update was released Monday. I tried to update but when it rebooted it went to install and failed to install, I looked up some information that say usually the cause of the failed install for software system updates is because of an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery. So I've tried to restore to factory OEM settings but every time it fails to up restore to the factory update as well. I'm at a loss here and no Idea what to do. I can flash any custom roms I want and those seem to work and flash just fine but If I try anything else like reverting to OEM stock it doesn't work. Anyone have any Ideas?
Before anyone asks, I've tried doing a RRU restore from desktop and .Zip on my phone and neither work. Both fail.

Get s-off and restore any RUU.. After restore, better get s-off before you update, you won't be able to get it after the update.

Restart your computer, also update to latest HTC drivers and adb sdk.
Alternate method, use an OTG cable with a USB stick with a ROM.ZIP on it, and mount "external sdcard" (or whatever it's called) in custom recovery.

[Q] I done screwed up big time - the mystery of the unflashable recovery

Back story: Verizon Moto X, unlocked bootloader via China Middleman, running Eclipse ROM 4.4.2, TWRP 2.7.0.0 recovery
Objective: wipe everything and flash back to a (rooted) stock for device retail
Why I'm screwed: everything is wiped - phone has no OS, recovery, etc. It simply hangs out on the Motorola M at boot and doesn't move. fastboot loads and will flash recovery (seemingly successfully) but rebooting to recovery always gets stuck at the logo
How I got there:
1. Backed up with TWRP, then flashed new recovery CWM (the one here) and backed up again. Saved both folders of nandroid backups to my PC (yay)
2. Flashed back to TWRP (but this time the new one v2.8.0.1 here, which I downloaded and flashed via that fancy new TWRP app [I selected the "ghost" model]) clicked about every type of wipe option I could get my grubby little fingers on, then adb pushed the ROM and kernel/radio combo from here.
3. Attempted to flash the new ROM via TWRP. It failed. something about an "Error executing updater binary in zip". I sighed, said "meh", googled the problem a bit and figured I'd reboot the recovery and try again. This is where things get weird.
4. Phone hangs out at boot logo (that kaleidoscope "M"). Fine, I accidentally did a normal boot, and there's no OS installed. I go into fastboot and boot to recovery. SAME SCREEN. TWRP has apparently disappeared. No matter. I go into fastboot and flash it again, then boot to recovery. SAME SCREEN. Flash back to CWM. SAME SCREEN. Back to TWRP one more time just for giggles? SAME SCREEN.
No idea where to go from here. Anyone have any idea how this happened and what my options are at this point? Is there a way to manually flash a ROM via fastboot? Restore either my CWM or TWRP nandroid backups without access to the recovery? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Attachments:
a) boot logo I'm stuck on
b) command line log of commands from flashing recoveries
From fastboot, flash your recovery and then use the volume down button to highlight recovery and then volume up button to enter into recovery.

Well I wiped my system partition when I must have been drunk or something b/c I still can't believe I did it. But I did. Then from bootloader mode, I ran the command mfastboot flash system system.img from a command shell on my PC using the system image from the sbf that my bootloader was currently on (in my case, it was 4.4.4). All was good.
Then I could restore my nandroids by moving them to my phone from my PC.

Could you elaborate a little more on this? How do I get the system.img file to flash? I'm guessing my bootloader would be on the 4.4.2 one since that was what Eclipse was on, but is there any way to check? Deleting the system partition was definitely what I did. Also, why mfastboot as opposed to just fastboot?

because the moto x system images are too large to flash with fastboot, you have to use mfastboot.

Flashing the 4.4.2 system.img (and boot.img just for good measure) worked! I was then able to boot normally and then upgraded to 4.4.4. Oh happy day. Thanks for the help everyone.
Sorry, meant 4.4.2.

So glad!! If you are unlocked, as long as you can get into a functioning bootloader mode and have access to the sbf for your version of the OS you haven't bricked.
I about near had a heart attack when I deleted my system, but no biggie to restore it. I think I only paid $35 to unlock b/c I did it straight through tao bao, but it was the best $35 I have spent in a long time. I drop $35 every time I go for sushi, so I can't imagine not paying to unlock if you have the option.

Stuck in Oneplus logo. Can't access recovery. Fastboot working.

Hi everyone.
I was trying to flash Nitrogen OS. First I flashed the latest firmware, then the actual rom and then GAPPS. After that my mobile got stuck in Oneplus logo without being able to go into recovery mode.
I tried using fastboot to flash the files in this thread(https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/unbrick-unbrick-tutorial-oneplus-3t-t3515306) which worked once, but even after that I can't surpass the logo screen.
I've been trying to look for information but I can't find anything.
To clarify:
- I already tried erasing userdata and cache from fastboot
-I already tried flashing recovery images from twrp, stock and bluspark
Thanks in advance guys.

Which TWRP are you using? Which firmware are you flashing? You can't access recovery at all? I've run into plenty of bricks like this and I'm usually able to get back to recovery by forcing the device off (vol up + power hold) and rebooting back to recovery. and if that doesn't work I can at least get to the bootloader and re-flash a recovery file.

I was using last bluspark recovery. I was flashing OB21 when everything happened.
There is no way I can access to recovery. I tried reflashing the stock recovery from that unbricking thread with all the other things through fastboot and I can't boot into recovery at all. It is the first time I face this error so I am lost.

okay, well what I would do is boot into the bootloader, and then reflash the blu_spark recovery via adb so you can boot into it. then wipe everything and restart. but this time I would try the OB 20 firmware and not the 21. when I was on NOS I used that one and it worked just fine. I'm not sure if it made a difference, but I flashed the firmware both right before and right after flashing NOS

It doesnt recognize my device through adb and I don't know why. If that worked I would have tried to sideload some firmware, but when I do adb devices it doesn't appear

idk if it'll recognize as an adb device if it's in the bootloader. maybe try fastboot devices? sorry, I'm just spitballin here

Somehow fastboot devices does send me that my device is there but adb devices no, I will try looking into that to see if that works. Thanks for the help anyway

yeah! try fastboot flash recovery "recovery file name".img
make sure that recovery img file is in the platform-tools file (or wherever your adb files are) and see if that works!

I mean idk if you wanna do this, but you could always try to "format userdata", then flash the stock recovery, and then sideload OOS. but you would lose all of your data in your internal storage, and it's still not a guarantee. there are some posts about doing a full wipe and starting from scratch. I'd look into those. Best of luck reviving your OP3T

just a tip, try posting the output instead of "it's not working",
so the devs here might be able to analyze the problem..

I already post a lot of information on the first post:
Mobile not passing the first time Oneplus logo appears.
Only fastboot is working, not adb, not recovery.
I already tried flashing other recoveries and the stock one->Can't pass Oneplus logo anyway
Tried formatting userdata through fastboot and flashing the .img files from my first post->Not working
Then just do the Qualcomm restore and unlock, boot to fastboot and flash the latest TWRP. Then boot into TWRP and format cache partitions, system and data and then adb sideload using this option under TWRP advanced to flash firmware zip, NitrogenOS zip and then 8.1 Gapps and try booting to see if same thing happens again. You are using the NitrogenOS stock kernel and not some other?

What do you mean by the Qualcomm restor and unlock? I already tried the flashing of latest TWRP and it did not work.
I was coming from Validus last beta but did a previous factory reset and that stuff.
Thank you for the answer

What he meant is probably unbrick tool - https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/unbrick-unbrick-tutorial-oneplus-3t-t3515306
Try flashing official firmware with it and then try again by flashing TWRP and flashing Nitrogen.

I can't install the drivers:
-First, stupid Windows policy saying that its driver is the best one available.
-Second, choosing from a disk to avoid one saying that the driver is not a x64 one.

None of that answer what he actually asked, which is: what was the output (error message, result, etc.) when you tried to flash TWRP?
Did it flash successfully, but still can't boot to TWRP? Or else, what was the exact error message?
In general, when asking for help and giving status, be specific as possible, and give as many details as possible. Saying you "tried xxx" or "it did not work" is not specific enough.
Seems silly, but I've seen a lot of times where it's as simple as the user not using the correct command or entering the right file name.

There were no errors when flashing TWRP. When I tried rebooting using fastboot(fastboot boot recovery.img) it got stuck in the message saying booting up... and the only thing that changed was that my phone left the bootloader screen to a screen with the Oneplus logo and a fastboot mode message under it.
The command I used was fastboot flash recovery recovery.img(Name of the actual recovery file)
