[FIX] Bionic (Boot FAILURE) & (CDT FAILURE)

Okay so I have noticed that there are still some people out there having issues with either going back from Update .901 or have dropped into a (Boot Failure) mode and cannot find a solution. I have decided to post up what works for me. Mind you I have personally and purposely bricked my Bionic multiple times to ensure that this works. However:
I am in no way responsible for any permanent damage you do to your phone. If you have an issue I will do the best I can to assist as I’m sure the rest of the members will. But you take full responsibility for anything you decide to attempt.
While some of you have been able to use the one click method provided by , some of you can’t follow through with the fix due to the (Boot Failure) or (CDT Failure). I have changed some of the files in the One Click method provided by. These files worked for me multiple times but I cannot gauruntee they will do the same for you. But if you are brave enough giver er hell.
Step One: Download these files. You will need all three if you want to go through to .901. Each update is labeled as such to limit the confusion. Once downloaded move all folders to your desktop and unzip the CDT file ONLY!!!
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GZ4AC6ML
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3XE1OFOM
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TSYCAFP4
Step Two: Plug your Bionic in via USB. Once plugged in you can either boot into Fastboot mode by holding the POWER + VOLUME DOWN. If you are in (CDT Failure) you won’t be able to reach fast boot but that’s okay. In fact “Fastboot” mode isn’t necessary as long as you are in one of these error screens.
Step Three: Open the folder labeled “CDT_BOOT_FIX” and double click “EVERYTHING”. The system will begin running the install of the files contained. ALL FILES SHOULD SUCCEED. Not one of these files should fail and in the event one does please post so we may figure it out together.
Edit: You will need to also download this and place it into the unzipped CDT folder:
Sorry I must have forgotten to add it originally when composing the file.
Step Four: Once the files have finished running, reboot your Bionic. You should now have a running system. YOU ARE NOT FINISHED YET, so please pay attention. Failure to do so will only cause you to go through this again.
Step Five: Move the Update files (893 if you only want to go that far or 893 and 901 to go all the way) to your SD card. Make sure both files are on the root of the SD card. Now shut down your phone.
Step Five: Boot into recovery and choose “Update Zip on SD Card”. Choose the 893 file and click okay. Your phone will now install the 893 update. Reboot. STILL NOT DONE. As noted below if you plan to go to the .901 update then you can skip step six and just flash both the 893 and 901 one right after the other. If only going to 893 then proceed to step six.
Step Six: Your phone will now boot into “CDT Failure”. Make sure your Bionic is plugged into the USB port. Hover your mouse over the “CDT_BOOT_FIX” folder, hold SHIFT and RIGHT CLICK your mouse. A pop-up box comes up. Click “Open Command Prompt Here”. Once the Command Prompt comes up type:
moto-fastboot flash cdt.bin cdt.bin
/\ You can copy and paste this if you would like.
Your phone will now flash the CDT file. It should succeed. Once this is complete you are full OTA 893. You now have the choice of booting into recovery and loading the 901 file should you choose to do so.
That should be it. Thank you to all who have contributed. The scripting for the Everything command came from P3DROID. If you object to me using it please let me know. I appreciate it but the files can be run manually so no biggy. Thanks
If you have any problems feel free to ask

If you are still having problems I will do my best to assist. If it comes down to it download Team Viewer (www.teamviewer.com) and all files posted here. I will then run the repair process for you. Just for some peace of mind Team Viewer is a remote PC control program. It generates a password each time it is opened so it can never be replicated unless you choose to set a password. If at anytime you feel uncomfortable with what's going on you can immediately close Team Viewer and break the connection. If you need help this badly send me a PM and we will set up a time. As it stands now I am on duty from 6 P.M. to 6 A.M. And yes if it helps you any I am a Police Officer in the State of Ohio.

i just unpacked the 901 update and flashed the cdt file from it to get by this problem. took me a few different cdt files to get it right though.

Glad you found a solution. Some people just can't seem to get through this issue. Doing this process will put you back on 893 updatable.

I'm having an issue now it wont let me use your recovery img and I have to use one from 893 FXZ rather then yours. but then once I get to recovery it wont let me update to 893 (I guess it thinks I'm already there?) so I'm not sure what to do atm.
I also noticed on your batch file you put "moto-fastboot boot boot.img" it should be "moto-fastboot flash boot boot.img"

I apologize and will fix this. Thank you for pointing it out. I also posted a reply to your thread on Rootzwiki.

Hello, first off, I will like to thank for all the help!
Ever since I tried upgrading to 901, I been having a brick for 2 days now.
I read through your post a few times and I am using your method to fix the problem.
You specifically stated, everything should be OKAY. But in my case,
boot.img and recovery both failed.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you again for all the help and support!

Doesn't matter, once the phone gets to a point where it will boot you can use the 1 click path saver to get things back up and running.

Good deal. Hopefully that will work for everybody. There are so many different errors out there we should compile a list of fixes into one thread to make it a little easier for everyone to find.

Hi everybody,
A buddy of mine bricked his bionic by attempting the 901 update with root so I attempted this fix since it was stuck in boot failure. The phone will now boot up but doesn't pull in any service. Am able to connect it to wi-fi, but once you hit the droid to run thru set up, it sits there thinking, telling me, "please wait, this may take a few moments." I attempted going back into recovery and installing the 893 zip and 901 zip and both fail. I've also attempted using rsd lite with the 893 fxz but no dice.

I am getting the exact same issue. I am getting errors in the recovery and cant get to the point where i can turn usb debugging on for 1 click path to work. any ideaS?

To those getting stuck at the "push the android" screen and have the recovery error,
you can touch the four corners of the LCD starting from top left and moving clockwise to each corner. This will bypass the android guy and send you to the home screen allowing you to put your device in usb debug mode and push the files through path saver.

I wish it was that easy but it will not allow me to bypass the android guy. Usually i can click him and skip thru setup then go into settings but when clicking the android guy it just sits there thinking saying please wait, this may take a few minutes, but never gets past that point. Any other ideas?

I believe my problem stems from flashing webtop grfs.img. Fails out any time i try and says:

Ok so i ended up flashing the radio.zip from the guide, how to receive otas again if you are on a leak, and was able to boot up afterwards, skip the setup and am about to run the pathsaver. Will let you know how i make out...

i attempted this method and it did this:

Press any key to continue . . .
==============
EDIT: everything else was sent to the phone ok, so once done i powered it down/up, then rather then booting up normally, it automatically went into the stock recovery, so i pressed the VOL UP+DOWN to proceed and it then showed this:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/caller
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

EDIT 2: I ignored the above, rebooted & chose to boot normally. Upon doing so, it loads up and gets to the "Welcome to DROID BIONIC" screen. When i tap on the android figure to begin, it just stays at "Please wait, this may take a few minutes." but never changes. Does not proceed any further.

Tip for those upgrading without flashing via factory image. After you flash cache.img boot into your custom recovery of choice and wipe the cache partition. Otherwise you're going to be stuck on the lollipop circles for a long time. This is specific to nexus 4.

Use the arrow keys to reboot into recovery mode to boot into TWRP. Do not boot into the system.

Ok, managed to get my laptop working again. Rom is uploading, will post a link to the thread when done :good:
EDIT: Thread link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-stock-flashable-rom-t3084656

If you get ANY Errors during Updating via the flash-all script - try to update ADB itself. I was using an old version and got errors until i downloaded and used a new ADB version.

Where is the 5.1.1?

Stuck on mi boot screen avec flashing boot and recovery using fastboot

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to install TWRP + Boot on my Mi5 in order to install Xiaomi.eu rom later.
I have been following these steps: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads...r-xiaomi-mi5-unlocked-bl-only-released.31231/
All went well:

Until the moment to reboot to TWRP.
It just displays the mi logo forever and doesn't boot. It's been 10min now.
Is that normal?
Should I continue to wait?
Thx

After 30min with no progress I decided to stop the phone.
I pressed the power button for few seconds. The mi logo disappeared. I stopped pressing. But straight away the phone is trying to reboot and displays again the mi logo forever
F*********************ck!

Managed to enter in Fastboot mode! Don't ask me how.
No I guess, from what I read in various places I need to flash a fastboot DEV ROM using MiFlash?
Seem to be the procedure when you are in bootloop.
I guess I'll have to unlock again the phone once this ROM will be flashed?

Ok I'm back on track. I've downloaded the last Mi5 Global DEV fastboot ROM (gemini_global_images_6.5.30_20160516.0000.22_6.0_global_9cee9512c7.tgz)
I flashed it using MiFlash. But I kept the storage. I probably should have flashed all because now it keeps on say it can't find the device ID and I get some java stack trace errors complaining about SQLite access problems.
Tomorrow I'll try again to flash TWRP. We will see if it does the same :-/

That's it I've managed to flash TWRP + xiaomi.eu stable rom.
I think the part that generated the bootloop was the fact that I didn't run the following command after flashing TWRP:
Code:
fastboot reboot
I rebooted manually using power button + vol. up.
Now everything is working fine.

Need a hand fixing my bootloop

Hello.
I am hoping some kind soul out there could help me solve my boot looping issue. I have been following the instructions from the mega-thread and have successfully managed to unlock the boot loader. However I also managed to get stuck in a boot loop. As such I have been reading up on Chapter 4 of the mega-thread but I have been unable to fix it.

Still no luck through, however the reboot cycle is much faster if that means anything.
I transferred the dload folder onto a SD card in order to restore. Holding down the volume up and down buttons along with power for 12 seconds. While the device does vibrate as if command was accepted it never shows anything beyond the logo.
Do you have any further advice or an idea as to what is my device's problem?

can you go to recovery? if yes, then you can wipe everything again and see if that helps..

3 key methods that try to install with stock recovery. Update.app file copy to dload folder.

After holding down volume up button for 10 seconds I am presented with the 'Huawei eRecovery' mode. It gives me three options of "Reboot", "Download new version and recovery" and "Shutdown". I choose shutdown and wait for the phone to appear completely off after 5 seconds or so. Which after I hold down volume down, volume up and power buttons to enter the recovery mode. The phone vibrates as expected however no recovery mode is shown. Black screen still appears.
Please advise and thank you.

To enter the recovery mode you need to press and hold volume up and power buttons only

I apologize, I misread the instructions.
After the complete shutdown, I held down volume up and power button. Upon seeing the Huawei logo, I let go of the power button. After a few seconds, the screen goes blank, then booted into 'Huawei eRecovery' mode and presented with the same options as before. "Reboot", "Download new version and recovery" and "Shutdown".
Am I to choose "Download new version and recovery" option from this screen?

I attempted flashing with the provided files again, boot then recovery. I did not use 'fastboot reboot' command but instead held in the volume up button for 10 seconds until 'Huawei eRecovery' mode appeared. I chose shutdown, waited for the phone to completely shut off upon which I then held in volume up and power buttons. Soon as the Huawei logo appears, I let go of the power button and continued to hold in volume up. Once more I was presented with 'Huawei eRecovery' and three options of "Reboot", "Download new version and recovery" and shutdown.
I did notice if I disconnect the phone before attempting to enter recovery mode by holding in volume up and power buttons, instead of shown 'Huawei eRecovery' the screen stays blank as recovery mode is still not responding.
What is the command to flash the stock recovery image? 'fastboot flash stockrecovery'? And with what image should I flash it with?

how to unlock bootloader on bricked mobile?

Hello
my mobile is blocked on the HUAWEI logo
when I press VOL- and POWER I go to FASTBOOT & RESCUE MODE (mobile connected to the PC)
PHONE Locked
FRP Lock
my questions:
* if the bootloader is blocked, it is not possible to flash the BOOT, RECOVERY, SYSTEM, etc. with ADB?
* If the mobile is bricked, it is not possible then to unlock the bootloader?
* why, when I introduce an SD card with a LOAD folder, containing UPDATE.APP the mobile does not perform the firmware installation?
I try I do not know how many firmware and I have not yet managed to unblock.
if someone has had the same problem, I want their help.
otherwise, tell me clearly that it is not possible to unlock and the mobile will end up in the trash ...
it will save me from tearing off the rest of hair on my head

dc unlocker does not detect my mobile
only DC phoenix detects it
using the tab "update oeminfo" on DC Phoenix 0.0.0.63, I manage to put the mobile in "PHONE UNLOCKED"
from there I take the opportunity to try to flash BOOT, RECOVERY, SYSTEM with ADB commands.
everything goes smoothly and without error but by restarting the mobile always the same screen with the error in red.

Boot into eRecovery (Volume up whilw connected to PC, or when it shows "bootloader unlocked" warning, hold volume up.) Update to lates firmware
also if you get opportunity to update via HiSuite or from phone settings update it. Try as many times as you can to succed. It will aventually flash latest and greatest firmware.
Another method is to use update.app for servicing phones. Downlaod it from here, http://androidhost.ru/K5, place the update.app on external_sdcard inside of a "dload" folder. IN the phone app type *#*#2846579#*#* and select sdcard upgrade. It should work
Wish you luck

volume down. After flashing is complete Reboot your phone. ic everything works, it works. If it does not work, do a wipe data and cache in the stock recovery (hurupdater installs stock recovery from the update package automatically)

------------------------
In your command line you write: fastboot flash recovery TWRP-3.2.1-0.img
just write: fastboot boot TWRP-3.2.1.0.img.. Then TWRP will open.
Now in TWRP you can install TWRP recovery, after reboot you will be able yo use it.
I hope this help you.
