[FASTBOOT] Stuck in Fastboot after bad flash

So, I nearly **** myself earlier when I nearly bricked my D3, so I though I'd post how I ressurected it.
So, I flashed a bad /data partition, and the bootloader kicked me out. Fastboot rebooted with a line (Last Flash Failed) and would NOT let me out after waiting, battery pulls, wipes, the works.
So, I flashed the ATRIX root.img, and the message went away. A Battery pull later and I'm back in business!

The harder this phone is to mod, the more it seems worth it Thanks for trying!

@pplude
Can you give any more detail on the root file you flashed to your droid 3?
Is it really from an Atrix? Are there any downsides to running this root partition?
The reason I ask is - the Atrix has been rooted, so perhaps this would be a good way to attack the droid 3.
Here's the Atrix root hack. Care to give it a try if you're still feeling brave?

It's the preinstall partition from the atrix. There's no integrity check there so it flashes A-OK. I suppose the preinstall from any phone would work though.

You're the second one to do that successfully. I think it was discussed at length as a potential source for root, but we couldn't get the permissions we wanted out of it for some reason. I think it came down to nosuid, but I'm not positive. The root thread talks more about it.

I used that on my Atrix way back (a month ago , to enable sideloading, I believe.
You want me to give it a try on the D3 (i.e., flash the /preinstall partition?)

That's what I used to break out of fastboot. Can't help us because of nosuid and noxec built in at the kernel level.

I see you said you've reflashed a half-bricked D3 with an image from Atrix? You said it was root.img?? Did you mean boot.img? I have an Atrix too, and don't see this partition anywhere. Did you or someone pull it with dd? If you have it, could you send it to me and tell me what command you used to flash in moto-fastboot or fastboot?
I tried flashing from the OTA and I'm **** out of luck at the moment, after borking /system trying to make the OTA update in recovery. It's been one headache after another with this fine device

What the OP is describing only works with fastboot. It sounds like you're able to get into recovery, a completely different system. Start a new thread if this is the case and I'll try to help you out.

I have flashed a partition that failed the verification check and now I can't do anything but boot into BP menu. Really, my problem and his are/were pretty similar, I think.

that's exactly it. Find the hacked /preinstall image for the atrix, mine was named (root.img). Then use adb fastboot to flash it to /preinstall. Then it'll reboot as normal. Boot into recovery, then wipe /data and /cache

Thanks. I haven't located the /preinstall you're talking about yet, but I believe you're talking about the the /preinstall that was used to unlock the bootloader, or are you talking about the initial power cord-recovery hack? Anywho, I've been able to successfully flash /system and /boot, but I'm looping into BP menu. The fight continues . . .
EDIT: There are some partitions that the phone will not let me flash in Fastboot, and I think least one of those is my problem (like BP, for example). I keep getting a permissions error, and I am using moto-fastboot in linux or windows.

My success was using the Android SDK fastboot binary on Windows using PowerShell. And yes, it was the preinstall used to unlock the bootloader. I don't have a copy of it anymore, I seem to remember Ben64 on the IRC Freenode Channel #KrazyK giving it to me.

Huh -- so, despite the fact that Atrix4g won't do squat with regular fastboot, you're recommending it for this problem on the Droid3? Interesting. I did find the preinstall you're speaking of -- I actually found two, just in case. Thanks for your help so far, I will report back.

That's why I recommend using PowerShell (free download from Microsoft.com), it's a fully POSIX compliant shell and ADB/Fastboot is a lot more useful with it!

Roger that -- I've been using it since I installed Win7 two years ago. The only thing that's better is bash, in my opinion, and I have already seen where flashing a failed phone/bootloader only works with powershell, for some reason.

I'm guessing your drivers are messed up. Did you already flash the OTA or copy parts of the OTA into your /system directory?

Wrong bootloader

Hi,
I accidentally upload LG g Watch bootloader to my LG g watch r and now screen is messed up. I can't boot Android Wear, but I can access bootloader/recovery and lock/unlock bootloader.
Is there anything i can do or is my watch bricked?

Your only chance would be if the next update contains a bootloader for the R and someone here can post it. Otherwise, you'll need to have it serviced. Just remember to relock the bootloader if you can still access it so that it might pass for warranty.
Btw, we are talking about the "fastboot flash bootloader" command right? If you used the "fastboot flash boot" command, then you might just have to wait until someone can get the OTA uploaded so that we can get the boot.img part (*crossfingers here since the OTA might have a patch instead which might be next to impossible to get a complete boot.img from ).

If you used "fastboot boot" you could just reboot and it'll go back to previous. Unless the boot image you used ran some commands that changed the system itself, you should be fine.
*I know this since I'm using this right now to boot my modified kernel on my R. Only problem is I keep getting permission denied when attempting a dd on the block device which is why I can't dump boot.img yet.

The bootloop have nothing to do with my bootloader files, they are completley stock from the ota file!
If you installing the new bootloader files on older roms you are asking for troubles.
Boot the watch in bootloader mode and flash the files as described and you watch will work.
Af if it bootlooping run a "Fastboot -w" after flashing.

Greetings, Is the newly released OTA compatible with your rom?

Yep, just like in the steps, the thing did show a FAILED (anti-rollback) when flashing the 'aboot'. I just used everything that was on the zip, now the watch doesn't even show the LG logo, I've tried plugging it on and off and keeping the reset button pressed for a while. I really don't know what else to try.
I'm waiting for it to run out of battery, but I don't even know if it's "on".

If you aboot fails flashing your watch might have another problem, i assume that your watch have an unlocked bootloader??

Yes, it had the boot loader unlocked, and I can't try again flashing the aboot because I can't get it to recovery mode or fast boot mode or anything.

By people, do you mean 1 person ???
Pretty unfair for other, isn't it ?

I am looking for bootloader files for the G Watch R to flash over what I believe to be a corrupt bootloader on my device. It will only boot when on the charging stand, and so far I have only been able to get it to boot to 5.0.1 successfully. Once the device tries to pull down the OTA update it reboots and proceeds to run the update and then it fails and powers off.
Currently I can access fastboot and I can get it to boot a stock recovery and twrp with the 5.0.1 boot.img flashed to my device.

Can anyone who has downloaded the original package from this thread PM me the files? I need to reflash my bootloader files to attempt to fix a booting issue with my watch. Any help would be appreciated and I will not hold anyone accountable if I hard brick my device.

@KAsp3rd W00T -- glad to see that you built this.
The new version of the lafsploit will be out later today, and with it you can use any recovery your want. It handles all the hash verifications internally. It is about as automated as I can make it.
It will be:
./flash-h918-laf.py # Flashes the h918 laf without the need of LG UP, so no brick risks if people aren't paying attention
./root-h872.sh <recovery.img> # If specified, it will use the recovery.img passed, if not, then it will use this version which will be included in the repo
./post-root.sh # This takes care of all the final steps.
So three commands, and that is it. If I could force a reboot back into download mode, it would be one command, but a reboot into download mode is required between each command..

Any idea when this might be ready good sir? I am not in a good place right now with my G6, could really use these commands---stuck in TWRP and can boot a rom, but somehow didnt follow your Step 3 in the Root guide, and my misc.img didnt get moved over, thus I have a rom that cannot connect to Wifi due to lack of MAC--this update would be huge, as I would go back to stock and restart this mess.
TIA

That won't help you now. Hopefully you still have the backup of your misc partition that was made in step 2. If so, boot to TWRP, and run:
adb push misc.img /sdcard/
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc

I used flashify and was promted for a decryption password upon booting recovery. Am I doing something wrong?
(Note that I can still access storage on the original download mode twrp, but not on this one)

Like everyone else I'm also confused as to how I can get the h872 recovery to work without breaking anything since I have the h870 recovery on laf

Stupid question I think, but I get a "Traceback (most recent call last):" after entering ./partitions.py --restoremisc twrp-3.2.1-0-h870.img .
Is there a specific place to put the TWRP ing file ? I think when I run the command its not finding the img.

That answer isn't going to get you anywhere. Before you ask someone to write YOU a really detailed walkthrough because YOU aren't willing to search . . . How about you lay out exactly what you've done and exactly what's happening when you try to boot?
The first one to answwer your Q was helping you, in that they wondered what happens when you run that command through FASTBOOT. That is the exact command you would run to flash your TWRP.img

To let everyone know you cannot install twrp you can only do a boot to it through fastboot. they have it security blocked on the z3 play so it cant be installed yet. but if you do want a differnt recovery for it use magisk i have it installed on mine and it works great.

You cant flash recovery on Z3 not just because of security but there's no recovery partition.
