[Q] C6903 unable to flash images using fastboot - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all,
I want to update my C6903 to Anndroid Lollipop by flashing AOSP images after building them by following the instructions from Sony. But when I tried to flash them, below error occurred.
----------------------------
fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (8866 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.482s]
writing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.485s
----------------------------
I used flashtool(0.9.18.5) and EasyRootTool(v12.3) to flash the firmware(C6903_14.4.A.0.108_HK.ftf) and root the system, and used that flashtool to relock the bootloader.
When I tried to unlock the bootloader again, below errors occurred.
------------------------------
[email protected]:/home/zhiming/Soft/PhoneBak/FlashTool# fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
//first time the command run
FAILED (remote: Command did not succeed)
finished. total time: 0.019s
//second time the command run
FAILED (remote: Device is already rooted)
finished. total time: 0.004s
------------------------------
The rooting status showed by "*#*#7378423#*#*" -> "Service Info" -> "Configuration" is below.
After bootloader relocked using flashtool:
-------------------
Rooting status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes
-------------------
After unlocking bootloader again using flashtool:
-------------------
Rooting Status:
Unknown
-------------------
Could anybody help to resolve the problem? Thanks very much!

Check drivers then flash stock firmware again then check your bootloader status in service menu if unlocking is allowed use fastboot commands...

[Q] Relocking Holiday Version of Nexus One

I have a Holiday Version of Nexus One with S-OFF and I unlocked it but was not able to relock it. I installed latest SDK and restarted the phone in "fastboot” mode and ran the following command from the computer:
fastboot oem unlock
It unlocked fine after I accepted unlock declaimer.
I then installed Amon RA 2.1.1 and then rebooted the phone and then I ran command from computer:
adb reboot bootloader
After the phone came up in bootloader I ran the following command from the computer:
fastboot oem lock
I got this reply “... INFOLock failed!”
I will appreciate any ones help who was successfully able to relock the holiday version on Nexus One.

You need to type: fastboot oem lock
But why do you want to re-lock it??
Thanks for reply.
Apologies for the typo in my original post which I will correct that too but I am using the correct command:
fastboot oem lock
And I get the following reply “... INFOLock failed!”
I just want to remove the unlock icon.

That's really weird, I've always wanted to know how to do that but I don't have S-OFF. Maybe you need to be on stock to lock the bootloader?
Weird, mine locks back up fine with fastboot oem lock, but it's not a holiday one.

[Q] Need help for bricked Razr i / firmware links

Hello Forum,
as a newbie in Razr i I tried today to unblock my Bootloader and of course made an error during this
I downloaded the file "RAZRi_Root_Linux.zip" from user "mattlgrof".
Unpacked it and run the file "Root.sh".... yes I know. I have read the HowTo, but ...I don't know what I thought!?
And of course the shell said reboot and the phone stuck on the red Motorola logo
Looking into the file, I saw that the last command executed was:
"sudo $fastboot flash boot ./files/razr_i_boot_insecured.img"
And the output was:
"< waiting for device >
sending 'boot' (11264 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.657s]
writing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: Preflash validation failed)
finished. total time: 2.021s
rebooting...
finished. total time: 0.240s
Phone is rebooting please dont touch anything."
As I have read until know I could restore the phone by installing a astock firmware via RSD, right?
But in the last 5! hours I couldn't find a valid link for a firmware download.
So my question/request are:
- Can I solve this by installing a stock ROM via RSD?
- Can someone provide me an link to a firmware download?
The specs of my phone:
- European ( germany), unbranded
- OTA update to JB 4.1.2
- previously rooted with windows using a "android trick", I don't exactl remember how
If you need more information, please ask.
Thank you in advance, and have a nice day.
Kind regards.
giderBey
Since you are German, you can follow this how-to: http://www.android-hilfe.de/anleitu...owto-razr-i-mit-rsd-lite-flashen-windows.html
It also includes mirrors to the firmware
Once you are back to stock, you can use this root method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541398 and no bootloader unlock is needed.

try to boot your device in flashmode
install stock rom
If you failed to install a custom kernel is because you did not have unlocked your bootloader. You need a unlocked bootloader to flash boot.img, otherwise it will fail.
You got a black screen because you have not followed the right steps to install the ROM, some ROM needs to wipe everything (except sdcard) to work properly.

P9 (EVA-L09) Locking Bootloader failure

Hi all,
I have debranded my EVA-L09 from Three UK, so that I can get faster OTA updates (and also to try to participate in future betas) - I'm now successfully on C432B166
However, I'd like to now re-lock my bootloader, but am struggling.
Whenever I boot to fastboot and run "fastboot oem relock ****************", I get the following response:
Code:
...
FAILED (remote: root type is risk)
finished. total time: 0.006s
If I try "fastboot oem lock ****************", I get the following:
Code:
...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.009s
I have tried with "Enable OEM unlock" both enabled and disabled in Developer Options.
Can anyone give me any pointers on how to re-lock the bootloader?
Many thanks!
Sorry to bump an old thread. I'm currently having the same problems @ConfusedTA . Unfortunately I think it's difficult to re-lock bootloader without being on the same firmware that you were on when you unlocked it.
If anybody knows a way of forcing the bootloader to lock it'd be much appreciated!
