stuck at fastboot

Hey i am stuck in fastboot (going for a week now) and i kinda think it's dead i did that full wipe script and now it won't boot into anything i can do bootloader (my bro told me it can be flashed by there but i don't even know also i can't get into hboot due to the camera button being stubborn) so might as well ask here since he's at my cousins house for now and also how can i flash zip files? like the kind that aren't .img? just for details every time i try to flash via fastboot it either says unknown partition or cannot load blah.img maybe it's something i did wrong? i got adb/fastboot setup with the sdk and stuff but that's as far as i can get .
also i can't use adb (should be obvious by now).

can you access recovery mode? holding home+power?

I can try but don't guarantee success in doing so because of something i did in fastboot by mistake in trying to fix it ( ) unless there's a way of re flashing ra's rom or something there's no way i can get recovery to work again.
edit why don't they have those windows to phone flasher just like the hd2's have them that way i would have had it fixed by now .

Probably you should read a bit in this post.
If you are in fastboot, you can do almost everything with your phone.
1.
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
and your phone is clean.
2.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>
and you have a working recovery.
3. you can decide how to continue ...

whenever i try to flash it(at last step at the instructions at top), it keeps saying error: cannot load 'Recovery.img' file ,weird , i am using ra's recovery has recovery.img , don't know why it's not letting me flash it
edit even has the original name it won't load

you need to have it in the same directory from where you are calling the fastboot command, i.e.
you are on c:\ -> recovery.img must be located on c:\
otherwise you need to give the full path to your recovery.img, i.e.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img

for showing me the way also i'v been like this since last week reason i didn't ask in the first place is because i thought it was already answered already and i searched but couldn't find the right answer
but thanks to a guru like you i fixed it .
Edit - testing phone , seems to be doing something at the g1 screen.
Edit 2 - i think it might be ... bricked , hold on.
Edit 3 - got it into recovery lets see from here.
**** it tomorrow i get a new phone anyways time to put this demon to sleep
ok i am not going anywhere can't get lift off .

i have amonra recovery in a zip file if you can flash it via fastboot?

I can try that but if i can get into fast boot (is it the little balltracker thingy and the power button? if so i think my fastboot is broken because it just shows a blue light with no signal of the screen on )
What i have try'ed is that wipe script ohsaka-super-wipe <- and i am trying to get SenseLX v3.1 to run but all my attempts just lead me back to the recovery screen for some weird reason
also don't know if this info will help at all but i got a 16gb sdcard and getting another one soon just hope it's better class
Hold on let me see something
also i flashed my hboot alot of times so maybe it's something with that.

well it's hboot mode but different... hboot is used to flash .img files.. fastboot is the same but diff button to power on and as long as you have fastboot drivers installed you can flash zip files via fastboot, power on device by holding back+power
here's a guide to install adb/fastboot driver on windows vista/7 if thats what you have...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124916
EDIT: o wait so you do have recovery? you said after trying to install rom it brings you back to recovery?
what radio/spl do you have? you need 2708/2825 & 0013d

yep i have it, also following guide gonna report back in a few minutes
Edit - i got both hboot0013d-signed.zip and radio-2_22_27_08-signed.zip in my sdcard meaning i might have flashed them already so i don't see why it should be taking me to recovery
edit 2 bad hboot / E:missing bitmap Progress_empty/fill code -1 2x didn't wanna risk the real brick so i didn't install it.
Edit 3 E: - blah blah blah failure at line 3
well its' back to the drawing board for me..
and well fastboot don't work (camera button + power button don't do anything)
Now would'ya look at that it started working to an htc screen doing something alright
it hates me i swear.

lol when you get to the hboot or fastboot screen what does your device say? can you find out what radio and spl you have?

[Q] Boot-Up Issue, Unrooted, Please help

Woke up today after using my phone to set an alarm last night...and my phone was shutdown (plugged in).
I tried starting it up, and the phone wouldn't boot past the white HTC startup screen. Since then I've tried booting up several times, including using volume down button, and then clicking fastboot, but the screen just goes black and nothing happens. Effectively I'm stuck at the start-up screen.
My phone is only a couple months old, and is not rooted. Also since I have not attempted anything fancy, I have not yet backed up any of my data, photos, etc. The only advice I've had so far is to do a factory reset, but this would erase important videos, which I really don't want to loose.
Does anyone have suggestions on things to try to either somehow backup my data before a reset, or to fix this issue?
Thanks,
Bill

I am noob at this. my phone is unrooted, so my bootloader is locked. How do I run the erase cache command as you suggested? I've spent sometime looking for a forum telling me how, but have not found anyting... presumably i need software for my pc and connect the phone to it, or should there be some menu on the phone i can get to, to type in the command?

you will need to have fastboot/adb tools installed on your computer ----> HERE
and you'll need latest HTC drivers installed. This can be done by installing HTC sync software you can find HERE
start with this, ill update this post with more instructions
reboot phone in bootloader mode (hold down POWER + VOL DWN)
you will have a screen similar to this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
select ''FASTBOOT'' (use volume up/down to navigate and power button to select)
then connect phone to computer (better to use a usb port at the back of your computer and don't use any usb hub)
The screen should now display ''FASTBOOT USB''' and the phone should be recognized by your computer.
Now open adb/fastboot tool by clicking on ''Minimal ADB and Fastboot'' icon
it will open a cmd prompt like this:
type these cmds:
Code:
fastboot erase cache [COLOR="Red"]<------- press ''enter''[/COLOR]
fastboot reboot [COLOR="red"]<------- press ''enter''[/COLOR]
now the phone will reboot
check if the phone is now booting properly.
btw no need to unlock the bootloader and root your phone atm

Yes phone is correctly recognized. Honestly its the first time I see that ''erasing error''.
You might want to try factory reset your phone... but it will wipe all your data.
Your phone is only a couple months old... still under warranty?
Btw factory reset is step #1 when you call htc cus.ser.

yes as @SaHiLzZ said, factory reset won't wipe the internal sdcard partition where your photo and video are stored. It will wipe /data partition where your users settings and app are stored. so you should not lost your media files.
The other options will require unlocking bootloader which will void your warranty. So if your phone is still under warranty better to get it repaired or replaced instead.

Also unlocking bootloader at HTCDEV will wipe the phone totally / sdcard and all

I hope you all are correct. I spoke with HTC about sending in my phone for repair, and they said that since HTC One phones don't have an external or removal SD card...just internal memory, that all my photos/files/etc will be lost in the factory reset. Perhaps this discrepancy is in the model or type of HTC One?
Thanks,

[Q] Factory reset not working

Hi friends,
I really hope somebody can help me out here..
My mum's Moto G 2014 (stock rom, just like it came out of the box, no tinkering, nothing) started acting weird. It had force-closes all over, nothing worked. So I boot into fastboot mode, select "Factory". The factory reset doesn't work - user data is clearly still there when I boot.
So I try wiping user data and cache with fastboot from the PC (linux). Command runs through, no error message. But the user data is still there when I boot - I still get 100 force-closes, the thing is unusable.
Next I go ahead and unlock the bootloader (which should wipe all data, right)? Again, userdata is still there when I boot.
Then I flash TWRP. But when I boot into fastboot and select "recovery", the screen just goes dark. Same after I flash CWM instead. (And the same, incidentally, as it was with stock recovery - selecting "recovery" just makes the screen go dark).
I am left clueless ... having voided the warranty by unlocking the bootloader. Any pointers?
Thanks, guys.

Power off your phone. When the screen goes black, press and hold the Volume Down button with one finger. Then, while still holding this button, press and hold the Power button with another finger. This will bring up the Bootloader menu, then tap the Volume Down button once to highlight Recovery Mode. From here, simply press the Volume up once, and TWRP recovery should come right up. Touch Wipe and you'll see the Factory Reset.

But I think as he said, he can't enter the recovery mode.
Did you try to flash a stock rom?

You're right, I missed that part about going dark when choosing recovery.

No - not yet. Where would I get the stock ROMs? I think I've got the XT1068 version of the phone, (Germany, dual-SIM).
Can I just flash the ROM with fastboot from the PC? Without having a custom recovery on the device? (as I said, flashing TWRP or CWM with fastboot didn't work, no error message but no success either).
EDIT: I now managed to get into the stock recovery - I just didn't know I had to press the Vol-Up-Key to confirm (and when the android on its back shows, then hold Power for a few seconds and tap Vol UP to enter the recovery). So I'm in the recovery now. However, selecting "wipe data / factory reset" still doesn't work. I get these error messages:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

Doesn't look good, does it?

What commands did you enter when in download mode on the phone? What commands on the pc did you enter and what did your phone say in download mode while doing it?

Yes, you flash your stock rom via fastboot and you don't need a custom recovery.

First I entered
Code:
fastboot erase cache
The PC said:
Code:
erasing 'cache'...
OKAY [ 0.033s]
finished.
The phone said:
Code:
cmd:getvar:partition-type:cache
cmd: erase:cache
Then I hit
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
The PC said:
Code:
erasing 'userdata'...
OKAY [ 0.034s]
finished.
And the phone said:
Code:
cmd:getvar:partition-type:userdata
cmd: erase:userdata
So no error message there (unlike when I start a wipe/reset from the stock recovery). The userdata aren't erased in either case - all the apps are still there (and I'm bombarded with force-closes of all sorts of apps and services every 0.5 seconds)

I downloaded and flashed all parts of the ROM in the order suggested in the .bat file. It turned out as I suspected: No error message (neither in fastboot on the PC nor on the device while flashing), but no change on the device. Even after flashing the stock ROM and erasing userdata and cache at the end of the process, my old apps are still there and nothing appears to have changed. Still getting a ton of force-closes, it's unusable.
It's as if the phone is in read-only mode, I erasing userdata or flashing new ROM doesn't do anything. The only thing I have to go on at this point are the error messages I posted in the photo above (after trying to wipe from the stock recovery:
Code:
Formatting /data

blkdiscard on partition /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata failed[/B]
Formatting /cache

This. I am also having exactly this problem (of endless force quits and inability to flash stock), with precisely the same error message when resetting from recovery. The thread I started '[Q] Custom Recovery Only Works By "fastboot boot"' turns out to have been the wrong title...it seems likely the reason I can't flash a custom recovery (despite unlocked bootloader) is the same reason I can't format partitions either (stock recovery can't, nor can TWRP format /data). Although adb shell can be used for manually formatting partitions, it is serious stuff not to be attempted casually ("instant expert" disease is a leading cause of death so I have not tried it.
Sadly, I can't offer you any help other than to add to link our threads in the hope that something I've discovered may lead a knowledgeable dev to the source of this problem.

Same problem here.
Any write operation fails, while fastboot claims anything was "OKAY".
Only "fastboot -w" gives some hint to the actual problem:
Code:
# fastboot -w
Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.
File system type raw not supported.
Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.
File system type raw not supported.
erasing 'userdata'...

erasing 'cache'...
OKAY [ 0.014s]
finished. total time: 0.091s
However, I was not able to solve it.
I suspect this to be a hardware failure but I did not give up hope completely yet :-\

I have the exact same problem
Has anyone solved it yet?

bump

Thats seems to be my problem too.
With stock recovery and stock rom I didn't manage to wipe cache and user data. I also try it with fastboot but nothing. Nothing clear no erase at all.
Desparate and waiting a solution

Same problem - can't erase, can't flash.
Should ask help from Motorola Support.
Will call to their support and hope they will provide me 2nd level assist, not just advice to use warranty. No official Motorola in my country.
For anyone who would try to get support - chat on site is useless - they will tell you to do Wipe in recovery.
For additional support - call (US) Motorola Support 1-800-734-5870 and try to reach advanced support.
*Motorola chat support advised me to use Talkatone app to make a call, since I'm out of US.
**Get all of available phone docs - IMEI and other stuff.
I can't try their support since MotoG2 is of my girlfriends and is away now.
Support told me to call back only when I will hold the phone in my hands and will have IMEI to provide.

RSD Lite 6.2.4 works with Moto G, earlier versions would not work.
Same stuff - flashed ok but nothing changes.
If we use "mfastboot boot boot.img"
Device shows "updating android applications 1 of 7", then "Starting Android", but then black screen. Again.
But better than was - just black screen without any signs.
Is there any way to boot up different bootloader to get it's fastboot?

Anyone have tried to lock the bootloader, reflash the stock rom from fastboot and unlock again the bootloader?
A similar situation happened to me and this resolve the problem.

When locking bootloader - reboot is required since no commands will work.
But after rebooting everything is still same. Bootloader still UNlocked.

Soft-Brick HTC One M7

Hi all,
first time poster - looonnng time lurker. Hoping you can help me with my One M7 brick.
Phone had been running slow and sluggish for a few weeks. Yesterday morning, it was particularly slow with apps randomly closing/crashing. Decided to reboot. The phone didn't reboot though; it came back with a white screen and "** TAMPERED *** *** LOCKED****" coming up - a fastboot screen I believe.
I can't get it to boot at all and I've tried accessing it via adb but it isn't detected. 'adb devices' shows nothing however 'fastboot devices' does list the phone. Windroid seems to detect it.
Ordinarily, I would just do a factory reset to see if this helps but my problem is this - I have SMS messages and photos/videos on the phone of my daughter that I really, really, really don't want to lose. They are very precious to me. If it was a case of breaking up the phone then I'd do it in a heartbeat to recover this data.
I've attached some images that I hope may help. A friend has mentioned that some of the lines indicate a problem with encryption on the card which means the data is lost completely - I'm desperately hoping this isn't the case and some kind soul can help.
Thanks

Hi all,
first time poster - looonnng time lurker. Hoping you can help me with my One M7 brick.
Phone had been running slow and sluggish for a few weeks. Yesterday morning, it was particularly slow with apps randomly closing/crashing. Decided to reboot. The phone didn't reboot though; it came back with a white screen and "** TAMPERED *** *** LOCKED****" coming up - a fastboot screen I believe.
I can't get it to boot at all and I've tried accessing it via adb but it isn't detected. 'adb devices' shows nothing however 'fastboot devices' does list the phone. Windroid seems to detect it.
Ordinarily, I would just do a factory reset to see if this helps but my problem is this - I have SMS messages and photos/videos on the phone of my daughter that I really, really, really don't want to lose. They are very precious to me. If it was a case of breaking up the phone then I'd do it in a heartbeat to recover this data.
I've attached some images that I hope may help. A friend has mentioned that some of the lines indicate a problem with encryption on the card which means the data is lost completely - I'm desperately hoping this isn't the case and some kind soul can help.
Thanks

If the phone was encrypted then the only way to recover the phone is a factory reset using the stock recovery which will obviously delete all your files. Any other method that could fix the phone will wipe it: unlock the bootloader to flash a new rom will wipe the phone, flashing a ruu will also wipe it. Thats probably either an encryption problem or a failed emmc chip. I don't think there anything to do to recover your data, especially if the phone was encrypted. Sorry at least the phone might be recoverable...

Well, after asking a company who said they could do it and then said they'd have to wipe it, I've taken it back.
It seems there's nothing I can do about it; I've even tried using guides on here and elsewhere to return it completely to stock but because I can't get adb working, it's a no go. Factory reset does nothing. Trying to use tools and fastboot to change recovery images and all sorts doesn't work either. Seems to be something relating to 'S-ON' as when it's in RUU boot, if I disconnect and reconnect the USB cable, the screen briefly changes from the HTC screen to the white screen showing "Security Failed!" after trying to flash a new image on.
At a bit of a loss!

adb commands only works from a booted rom + USB debugging enabled from the developer option menu or from a custom recovery. So there is no problem here.

What is it doing exactly? You select "factory reset and it boot to the HTC splash sceen? It reboot in bootloader mode? It freeze the phone?

Again you need to be more precise, what doesn't work exactly? There is no fastboot connectivity or there is but the recovery won't flash? Did you unlocked the bootloader?

No, Its not related to S-ON.

I've taken it back to another shop this morning to have it reset/flashed back to stock. Will just have to try data recovery once I've got it back and see if I can recover anything.

Can't unlock OEM Bootloader on officially unlocked Redmi 4X Santoni 16GB

Dear Reader,
As you could see on a video, the device is unlocked using official method ( SMS ), but after when trying to unlock the OEM bootloader it locks itself again.
Why and how to unlock it completely to flash TWRP and Root ?
Thank you.
Best regards,
V7

its already unlocked. try to flash twrp maybe? as you can see the bootloader is already unlocked, then you can flash custom recovery
why are you confused? the settings app already told you its already unlocked

Thank you for your reply, really.
As you could notice, the trigger sets itself to disabled when menu changes( it doesn't stay at its position ), so I though that the trigger just doesn't work, doesn't it ?

There is only ONE bootloader. You already unlocked it. That trigger is only for enabling lock and unlock from fastboot interface using the code "fastboot oem unlock", which many other android devices use, but probably not for xiaomi ones. That trigger is NOT for unlocking bootloader, or in other words, turning it on DOES NOT unlock the bootloader. There is no such thing as "OEM bootloader". Your bootloader is already unlocked. Go to fastboot and flash TWRP and do whatever you want.

By the way, I've already tried to flash a custom recovery like TWRP 3.2.1.0, but after rebooting into recovery the old recovery had been shown, even if fastboot tells that everything regarding flashing is OK, so I though it's just locked. Do you know why it loads old stock recovery ?

Is it really the old recovery, or just a screen with a bunch of yellow buttons? If it's the latter, did you try touching the "recovery" button and THEN the left-side button (there will be a blue and a green button shown)?
After that the phone will boot twrp.
If it's really the old recovery, how did you flash twrp? Through adb? Did you try just booting twrp instead of flashing it? Like "fastboot boot twrp.img" ?

Yes, I've used adb and did everything like in this article ( where "Install via ADB" ). So, after that, when clicked on "recovery" ( in menu like you've described above ) it asked me something like "Am I sure to proceed ?", so I accepted this one with a blue button "OK" and it went to "MI-Recovery 3.0" like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

While "installing via ADB", did your phone actually rebooted into Fastboot mode? (the screen showing an android and the word "FASTBOOT" on it)
Try it this way: while the phone is on, reboot the phone via power menu. When the Mi logo appears and the device vibrates a bit, start holding both "Power" button and "Volume down" button (Vol-) until the phone vibrates again. Release both buttons. THEN plug the phone to PC, open adb command prompt window. Assuming the twrp image on your computer is named twrp3210.img, here's the code you need to enter:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp3210.img
After that, go to recovery like you normally do.
That should work.
Remember from now on: Power + Vol- = Fastboot; Power + Vol+ = Recovery. You cannot go to recovery or bootloader from adb in MIUI stock rom.

So, I've done the same as you described:
The "fastboot" text was show with a rabbit like
( image's from internet ), so after I've executed the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp3210.img
it shows something like:
( image's from internet ) and after just turned off the phone. Then I've pressed Power + Vol+ and it shows the chinese menu like:

How about typing into fastboot:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
Does the returned message say that you are unlocked?
How about trying a different twrp image?

The command above gave:
Code:
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: true
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.005s]
finished. total time: 0.005s
I've tried to boot into TWRP with "fastboot boot twrp.img" exactly after flashing "twrp.img", so it booted into TWRP normally, but after reboot into bootloader and choose a recovery it booted into stock rom recovery as before.
Old TWRP versions don't have some features which has 3.2.1.0, so it's rather interesting why this one doesn't boot after flashing and rebooting.
Although, there's a chance that stock rom reflashes recovery each reboot, so that's why. What do you think, is it possible ?

You can totally see from the returned message that your device is unlocked. Yes, and possibly stock rom reflashes recovery each boot. So your way should be to boot twrp.img, wipe System, Data and all caches. install a new rom, and then reboot to fastboot to flash twrp.img into recovery =)))

By the way, in case of leaving stock rom on board and wiping Data and Caches will turn rom to factory reset, but will leave it, is it right ?

Yeah, wipe data + cache = factory reset
