Okay, so I finally decided to ditch AT&T and go full Paranoid (This is not my first flashing attempt with Android devices). Got the latest version, etc. Load into BootStrap and wipe everything. Go to install PA and for some reason I had neglected to tell my build.prop (ro.product.device/name) is supposed to be "jactivelteatt"/"jactivelteuc" and not "SN-M9009". So when I started the flash process, immediate error and now I'm stuck with a phone with no OS or bootloader and can not, for the life of me, find a ROM to flash with .MD5 or .TAR that will work with ODIN. I did find "Oneclick_I537UCUAMF1" that gets all the way to the end and fails. Tried multiple times with multiple cables.
Please if anyone has any idea's, please help.

Oh god are you on the US version (SGH-I537)? If you're on the international version (I9295) ignore this post but otherwise, you need to read and take in my short rant. Trust me I wish this weren't the case, but it is, and it's important:
The Galaxy S4 Active i537 has a locked bootloader. There is no way around this, no ifs ands or buts. You simply cannot flash custom ROMs or recoveries. That's it, end of story as far as CM, CWM, AOSP and such things are concerned. That being said there is a sort of recovery called SafeStrap which you can use to make nandroid backups, flash mods and STOCK-BASED roms, but it's not a true custom recovery in the sense that we had been used to, because of this locked bootloader nightmare.
OK so I think you're gonna want to check out this thread. It's all about how to install any firmware from download mode, I think you're gonna have to go with NE3 or NH3.
Let me reiterate. NO CUSTOM ROMS. NO CWM. No Paranoid, no cyanogenmod, no AOSP, no crossing go before going directly to jail. Sorry for the stupid joke but seriously, you have got to keep your phone on stock-based roms (of which there are unfortunately few).

You need to make sure you are flashing a version that is the same or more recent than the version you are currently on. You cannot downgrade your firmware or else you'll end up with a bootloop.

you would need to unlock your bootloader to flash via fastboot, or to flash twrp recovery to flash a .zip.

If it is true, what you've said about not doing anything to your phone, then perhaps you need a new Sim card. However, when someone says "I don't remember if I did anything" I have serious doubt that you haven't done something. You don't mess with a $650 device and not "remember" doing it.

i said the phone on stok when this happen (lose imei & baseband)
and now rooted and unlocked bootloader when i started to fix it...
tried flash another stok, baseband, etc need to be unlocked bootloader rite?
actually im not sure if this caused lose imei&baseband,
i have tried factory reset, but the process take to long (more than 20minutes), i think the process error or something, than i tried hard reset by pushed power + vol down,
after that the phone boot and continuou erasing data, and the process looks like never end again
hard reset again and tried factory reset from recovery mode, this time i leave the phone about 1 hour, than finally phone boot
corrupt process on factory reset, is it possible caused lose the imei &baseband?

The factory reset on a 64gb will take 20 or more minutes. By forcing a restart before it completed, you may have caused the error.
This is the kind of information that is needed for those that wish to help. It is proper XDA procedure to provide as much information as possible when creating a thread such as this. We are not mind readers or magicians.

I understand that you would like to get your problem solved ASAP, but please read what people post. You CAN NOT restore another persons TWRP backup. It will either screw up your device even more or it just wont work. You need your own TWRP backup, which you don't have so TWRP is out of the question.
At this point your only hope is to flash all the stock images from fastboot. It's a relatively easy process as long as you read and try to understand what you're trying to do, and for gods sake don't try to use one of the toolkits to do this.

Hi !
I have a big trouble with my Moto X since I bricked it after trying to update the OS.
I was on LP 5.0 and I saw somewhere that an update was available so I searched for that and launched the update.
The problem was I didn't know that it's dangerous to do so with a rooted phone...
So, now, my Moto X is staying on the "splash screen" and if I force the power off, the Moto X restarts... and stays on the splash screen, again...
Is someone can help me to unbricked my phone ?
Thank you very much for your help :highfive:
A+
Edit : for information, it's a French Moto X 2014 (so I think it's a XT1052)
Smh
Can you get into fastboot? From off, hold volume down and touch the power for a second and continue holding volume down.

Yes, but I don't remember if I update the bootloader.
The choices I have are :
- Normal powerup
- Recovery
- Factory
- Barcodes
- BP Tools
- QCOM
Thank you for your help
You're not bricked then. I don't know what the recovery instructions are for the French model. Do they have factory images on the support page?
You can volume up on recovery to get into recovery to see options about clear cache and factory reset. Those might help, but I doubt it. I would try.
If you care about your data you can adb pull in recovery to get stuff off your sdcard before you factory reset.

You should search for it online and post in the Motorola forums that their OTA messed up your system and ask them for the files. And email and chat and ask them that way too.

Put your phone in bootloader mode, connect to your computer and start Motorola Device Manager to see if MDM can repair your phone.
Go into recovery (volume up to select). Try a factory reset and clear the cache first. Attempt to reboot.
Then follow JulesJam advice and try MDM
In the bootloader, the bar code option will tell you your phone version to see if you have the XT1092 (volume up to select)
If that doesn't work, you'll have to go to the link I gave you and flash the 1092 images.
or send it back to motorola

I don't think that is how it works outside the US. I think they have to send it to service centers where they decide whether or not it is a warranty issue and if you have rooted or unlocked the bootloader, they refuse the warranty service. At least that is how it is in Brazil.
AFAIK, only the Pure Edition maintains its warranty if you unlock and root.
I know with my XT1096, the qe is now 1/1 after MoFo so I worry that I couldn't get warranty services for it. Good thing I have MotoCare and if I end up with a problem, I am just dropping it in a bucket of water so that it can't be turned on again and paying the $39 deductible.
I didn't say it was on warranty. That's why it should be the last option. I imagine Motorola owns the service centers so you would still be sending it to Motorola.
I wouldn't worry too much about flashing those images. It should work if nothing else does. I think there's also another forum about how to convert the 1092 to a 1095. You can do that if you really want the 5.1 right away. You have to be mindful of the radios though.

Let me tell you first that it isn't bricked yet, This thing is happening only because you tried to update your device with a custom recovery, to solve the issue you have to go on stock recovery and on the stock Rom as well. That's it and it will work again..
But keep in mind never downgrade, i mean don't flash a lower Rom than what you are on right now otherwise it may surely result in a Bricked Phone:what:

The problems are when you try to downgrade the bootloader and/or partition table or when you downgrade after upgrading and then take an OTA.
Thanks to everyone !
I think that I will try to flash the image because using the MDM doesn't fix anything. But it was written that my current version is :"22.121.1.victara_oraeu.oraeuall.en.eu".
Furthemore, I had this problem when I was trying to install an update. Do you think it's a downgrade if I flash the available version of system.img ? And consequently I risk a real brick ?
Edit : an other question : on the tutorial that explain how to flash a img, it's written that we need to use "Motorola fastboot utility " and not the Android fastboot utility. I installed the sdk android and the MDM program, but the sole fastboot program a have is the android one. Do you know where I can find the Motorola fastboot utility ?
Thanks again )
Hi everyone !
Finally, I decided to launch the flash with the stock rom for XT1092. And it perfectly worked !
I still have a two questions :
- why I don't have anymore the update Moto proposed me at the benining ? Moreover the stock flashed seems to be an old one.
- In the futur, if a need to do an update, how can I do to avoid this problem ?
Thank you very much once again )

What Android Version are you running - go to settings and find out the android version. Also, what bootloader version are you running - put the device in bootloader mode, it is a number beginning with a 60.
I found that you can use kingroot to root the factory test firmware for the SM-S903VL
This is the only root method I know and I belive it is the first for the SM-S903VL
The factory firmware has drawbacks, no text calling or downloads or play store.
If anyone can find a way to make this better and actually be able to use the play store phone and texting let us know.
MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU DO THIS
Downgrade and root files found on my drive...
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4954IfsDiYKendnaWN1cGZ2Snc
Use odin to flash and Kingroot to root, may take a few tries.
If you are done and need to flash back to stock firmware flash these files with odin...

Definitely works. Root verified. I'm going to stay here and mess around for awhile and see what I can get away with. I'm far from any kind of expert but this seems like a good sign.

I played with it for awhile, seems the bootloader is locked so that explains not being able to flash a custom recovery. I can't wait till development takes off.

I flashed a custom recovery used from one of the other S5 phones but it kept booting into a page that said take it to a Verizon employee. I assume that's because of the bootloader being locked. I installed Flashify with an apk and used that to flash.

I used Flashify to flash a custom recovery image, TWRP. It worked but the device wouldn't boot into the recovery image or even back into the operating system anymore. It went straight to a page telling me to take my phone to Verizon store so Verizon could fix my phone. I tripped something.
I just opened Odin and reflashed 4.4.2 and kept messing around, that fixed my phone.
Sorry, didn't mean to get your hopes up.

I think you finding this method mentioned in this thread on the original post is a real winner. I think it might be the answer for someone to come in and start developing. *fingers crossed*

Hopefully... It took forever to find the firmware files and I only just happened to investigate the factory test files and noticed it was 4.4.2 and decided to try out different one click roots for the heck of it...
mortj19 said:
I found that you can use kingroot to root the factory test firmware for the SM-S903VL
This is the only root method I know and I belive it is the first for the SM-S903VL
The factory firmware has drawbacks, no text calling or downloads or play store.
If anyone can find a way to make this better and actually be able to use the play store phone and texting let us know.
MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU DO THIS
Downgrade and root files found on my drive...

Use odin to flash and Kingroot to root, may take a few tries.
If you are done and need to flash back to stock firmware flash these files with odin...

I wasn't entirely sure what you wanted when it concerned Apps so I just went to settings and took screenshots of everything under Settings > Device > Apps
Let me know if that's everything you need so I can put 6.0.1 back on before I head to work so I have a stable phone.

I was able to get the home screen and notifications but there is this black transparent thing with yellow text that is getting in the way of everything, you can see it in the screenshots. Also because this is Factory Mode apparently there is no lock screen? I've rooted again and am trying to see if I can turn it off for you but here is what I got so far
Hello!
I have a Huawei Mate 9 (MHA-L29C432B190). Yesterday I tried to root my Phone to play Pokemon Go with fake gps. After I managed to root my phone, I couldn't boot into TWRP Recovery Mode anymore.
Because I still had some files I needed to flash I installed Flashfire from the PlayStore. I think after I flashed the newest Magisk version(The flash failed because of Error:1), my device got unrooted. But I think my device is still partly rooted because I can't get into Pokemon Go. Everytime I try to start it I get stuck the loading screen. So right now I can't flash anything to get my root back and I don't have the root to use alternative flash applications. I also tried to start return my phone to stock back with a update.app But it can't be installed. I also can't use "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" I always get " Writing 'recovery'...FAILED (remote:command can't be used/allowed)". And also after some reboots my oem unlock got turned off and I can't turn it on anymore.
I don't have any ideas anymore what to do. I thought I could root my device, so I could unroot properly with superuser. I tried some other application like KingRoot oder OneClickRoot but both of them don't have a rooting method for the Huawei Mate 9 yet. Btw I don't have a backup because of my naivety.
I hope you guys can help me . I appreciate any ideas
Thanks in advance

Either way I want a method to root my phone without some flash application or I want a way to return my phone to stock. Or a method to fix TWRP would be fine too.

That doesn't tell me anything. That just tells me that you tried flashing.
It doesn't tell me anything about exactly what you tried to flash or what errors you got when you flashed. I need more precise information to help you. Your simple answers aren't helping me understand anything about what you have going on with your device.
What tools have you used? What guide/instructions did you use? What files have you used? What errors did you get? What results did you get. What do mean "didn't work"? "Didn't work" can mean many things.
I might be able to help you fix your device but I can't fix ignorance.

First I tried to do a force upgrade with a "dload" folder with a update.app file on my sdcard . After booting into this upgrade mode by pressing vol up + vol down + power button my device starts to install the stock firmware, but after it reaches 5% I get the message "Error with installing" and a Link to the same site when you boot into twrp. This always happens no matter which file I use. Next I tried to do a normal upgrade by calling this number "*#*#2846579#*#*" (The dload folder is still on my sdcard). But when I start the software upgrade I get booted into twrp and like I said in my post, always when I try to get into twrp I get stuck on the "Your device is booting screen". This is what I tried and basicly every site on google is saying I should try to do one of these two methods

Stock upgrades are not going to work if you are rooted and have TWRP.
Stock updates require stock recovery and an unmodified system partition(no root).

Yeah I have already seen, but I can't find an other method to return my Huawei Mate 9 to stock and I don't really have an root.

But you have TWRP, that won't work. You need stock recovery, custom recovery can't flash stock updates.

I am not sure why you are not doing this in your device forum?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9
It seems that there would be more assistance specific to your device.
or did I miss something?
