Hello! I'm needing some help.
My M7 currently will not boot, keeps saying "process system isn't responding". I can access bootloader and stock recovery. It has a LOCKED bootloader. All im wanting is to either flash stock or find a way to unlock the bootloader to flash something that works! I've been attempting to unlock it, have tried multiple drivers. My pc keeps saying the phone "isnt working properly" when i go to the fastboot screen. It shows a yellow traingle next to it in device manager. Oddly i can access the storage of the device when it's attempting to boot up at the htc logo screen. I managed to get the stock rom zip on the device. But the recovery wont flash it, it also says sd read failed in the recovery.
I hope I can get some constructive help on this. I've flashed many phones before usually with external sd. Please let me know any ideas you have. I'm somewhat at a loss.
Also, i received the phone this way, i'm not sure what has or hasn't been done to it.

Hi Guys,
I have a rooted HTC Hero so am familiar with rooting Android etc.
I said I'd help a colleague out with a problem on her newly purchased Nexus One but I'm struggling. When you turn it on, it doesn't actually boot up - the static X (not the animated one) just sits there indefinitely. We've left it for ages and it doesn't do anything at all.
The only progress I have managed to make so far is to unlock the bootloader through "fastboot oem unlock". I've since tried copying some stock N1 ROMs onto the SD Card and tried getting them to install through the Bootloader/Hboot screen as passimg.zips. They're recognised and the blue progress bar runs but it always fails.
I also don't seem to be able to get adb access to the device. "adb devices" returns no results and "adb shell" obviously says "device not found".
I've also tried writing amon_ra's recovery to the device via fastboot and while it sends it fine, it fails to write (remote: image update error).
I'm assuming the last two points are because usb debugging isn't enabled (can't boot it to do so) and it isn't rooted.
Is there some way I can get a ROM flashed onto this that will boot to allow me to root it and then install the custom recovery and a ROM of my choice?
If it makes any difference, the model should be a UK Vodafone one. One of the passimg.zips I've tried has been PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_1.01.1700.1_ERD79_release_signed.zip, which I read is the one to downgrade Vodafone N1's to but it failed.
Any help at all will be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.
Just a quick update about the passimg.zip failures...the error message is "main version is older"
Have also just tried a "fastboot boot recovery.img" (where recovery.img is a renamed amon_ra)...it downloaded fine and kicked off a reboot but it didn't actually boot into the recovery image at all...it remains at the static X screen (with unlocked padlock).
Have now tried a stock FRF91 as passimg.zip and this time it didn't error at the end. Instead it just returned to the menu after checking the passimg and didn't prompt me to apply etc...
Look here and download the PASSIMG.zip from the second post. put in root of sd .This will pass the "Older rom version" But it will downgrade you to EPE76.
If everything works out good. You would have EPE76 and a working N1. but you will need to download FRF85B. http://www.mediafire.com/?j5zejudgngm. rename that to update.zip. put into root of sd. boot into stock recovery. once you see triangle and android hold power and hit volume up. You will then see the recovery menu. Select apply update.zip. if its an success you will have FRF85B. Then just go to settings>system updates and search for FRF91 update.
Thanks for the reply. EPE76 is one of the ones I recently tried but even though it passes the check, it doesn't seem to apply. I don't get an option to apply and rebooting results in the static X again.
Earlier I managed to successfully apply amon_ra's recovery through fastboot. Apparently. The text in my command prompt said it was successful but attempting to boot into recovery from the bootloader menu presents me with the same static X.
I really don't understand what's going on with this thing.
I've now downloaded EPE76 in its original img component format from modaco and flashed boot, system, and userdata onto the three partitions separately using fastboot. System took three attempts but succeeded eventually.
Despite now having what should be EPE76 forced onto it, it still refuses to boot, giving me only the static X again.
I'm running out of ideas here. Does anyone have any suggestions at all?
Anybody? (bump)
I'm assuming she bought it used (because if it's new you would have took it back). From what I know, it sounds like a radio flash gone bad
I hope I'm wrong though.
As it says in the title I've already unlocked and flashed several times (downloaded multiple versions of TWRP to see if it was just the download itself, as well as checking the MD5 to see if it was corrupt.) I flash it it gives the usual partition message when I go to boot recovery I just get a Bootup failed. Lost as to what to do from here. Trying to root my phone. My phone still works as I'm able to use it atm but I don't know what else to do.
It seems if I reboot, and try going into recovery then it doesn't give me a bootup failed message but I get the android icon where he fell over and has the red triangle coming out of his chest.
Dunno if this is part of the issue but my phone isn't being detected as a adb device either, and there's not ADB debugging option to enable under developer setting just usb debugging which is enable. The drivers are install so I know it's not a driver issue.
Phone is unloacked and S-OFF
So my phone was ONLY able to boot into recovery/bootloader.
I tried wiping my phone, but TWRP gave "Failed" message
I decided to simply continue and try flashing the ROM anyways
Phone rebooted and was stuck on the HTC logo
After a LONG time of waiting I decided to pull the battery out
Phone will not turn on, but my computer can detect it.
Also, I was unable to turn on USB-Debugging because, well no OS, and TWRP did not give an option to do so.
Edit: Update
Phone is now turning on and I am able to boot into bootloader
I am able to boot into TWRP (v2.8) now. Image of error below:
http://i.imgur.com/EGBpufh.jpg (embedding image only shows the large full size)
Unable to mount "System" partition
What are my options? I am using WinToolKit and it's not working. When I boot into fastmode (manually) my computer gives a message saying it cannot be recognized and that there may be a problem with the device.
Edit: solved my problem, thank you all for your help
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could please help. I have a gear live, always running on stock firmware. Randomly without me doing anything to the device, it got stuck on the boot logo. So I decided to see if I could boot into recovery mode, but I get the error
"mmc_read fail" and "movinand checksum confirmation fail"
The bootloader also seems to be locked, so is there any way I can recover this device?
EDIT: The only thing I can do is boot into Fastboot, can't enable USB Debugging for adb to work
Thanks
Please help, i can only access fastboot with a locked bootloader
Hello everyone, it's my first time writing here, but I’ve tried everything, searched everywhere, and am desperate for help.
I screwed up big time while trying to flash a custom rom on my nem-l21, as I successfully did before with my xiaomi... So what I did:
I managed to unlock bootloader with dc unlocker. Then I got stucked flashing twrp with adb tools. Everything was looking to be fine, no error messages, “flashing successful”… But, I was never able to boot into flashed twrp. Always got stuck on “your phone has been unlocked blah blah. Your device is booting.” It never booted, not in twrp, nor in stock recovery. I tried different versions of twrp from different sources, always same result (flashing successful, booting into recovery not). Booting into the system was fine. And then I made that horrible mistake. Oh, how I wish I didn’t!!
I read on some website, that you are supposed to flash the twrp as boot.img, not as recovery.img. Seemed illogical and stupid to me, but in the end I tried it. Of course, this just bricked my phone, with no possibility to boot. After hours of googling, installing, trying and crying, I managed in the end to flash back stock boot.img. But at that time, I didn’t know my build number (b359), and I flashed boot.img b351. So now I have a phone which boots into the system b359 with boot.img b351, but with lot of errors.
- developer options, security options, display and factory reset option doesn’t work and just crashes. Therefore I am not able to flash the correct boot.img b359 or anything else at all from pc, no way to enable usb debugging and oem unlocking. Adb devices → nothing. I am able to use fastboot (fastboot devices sees the phone), but when try to flash something, I get error “command not allowed”. Also I can’t enable unknown sources installation, which bothers me a lot. And I can’t make factory reset to restore the crashing settings. Also I can’t change display timeout, and original 30 secs is super annoying.
- I am not able to uninstall even apps installed by me, always just restarts system UI and app stays.
What I tried so far:
- flashing correct boot.img from pc, not working because of dev options crashing
- go into recovery, but stock one is overwritten with unfunctioning twrp, always just get stuck on “your phone was unlocked blah blah… your device is booting now”, but it never does, have to hard reboot
- go into huawei erecovery, which is working, but when I try to resolve problem from there, always ends up with errors and crashes
- connect to pc and use HiSuite, system recovery tool here always says “no problem detected”
- updating to b361 through system update settings, always crashes on 5% and sends phone into “your phone was unlocked blah blah… your device is booting now” error
- downloading the proper b359 as and update.app file, put it in dload internal storage → same error during update, put it in dload sdcard → same error, no matter which way I use to start the update
- boot into twrp or stock recovery.img through fastboot without actually flashing it, anyway error “command not allowed”
- do factory reset or update through dial codes (i.e. *#*#123456#*#* …), nothing worked
My pc is windows 10, all drivers up to date. Using powershell as an admin. Am an idiot for not making backup of the phone before I started...
So, now I have more or less functioning phone, but I can’t uninstall any apps at all, can’t install from unknown sources, can’t do nothing from pc, can’t make any update, and lot of important settings keep crashing.
I can use the phone like this, but if somebody could think about some solution for this ****ed up situation I got myself into, I would be grateful to him/her for the rest of my life.
Sorry for a long post.
Thank you in advance and have a nice day
I think using Hisuit will help. Enter Fastboot and connect ur phone to ur computer and use system recovery toll
