Can I perform a factory reset with using the touchscreen?

Can I perform a factory reset with using the touchscreen? - Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers

The touchscreen has stopped working on my Honor 9 Lite, which probably a hardware issue but I wanted to try a factory reset just in case.
I can't unlock the phone without use of the touch but can get into fastboot and recovery.
From recovery if I try to factory reset if asks me to type YES on a pop up keyboard which I can't do.
I tried a oem unlock (I have the code already) but because developer options are off it won't wipe userdata from fastboot for the same reason.
Its only 14 months old but the retailer (John Lewis) have refused to repair it because they same it has "liquid damage".
As far as I know its never been wet but I did use it to run with so it has been a bit sweaty.
Any other ideas?

Try 'fastboot -w' .

XT890 Stuck on Red Logo. Probably damaged partitions.

Hi, yesterday I received XT890 from another user. Phone stuck on red Motorola logo, can enter fastboot and has locked bootloader.
Fastboot actions:
1. Normal Powerup - Freeze on Fastboot
2. Recovery - Freeze on Red Logo
3. Factory - Freeze on Red Logo
4. BP Tools - Freeze on Fastboot
5. Switch Console - Working
6. Power Off - Freeze on Fastboot
So first of all I tried to flash it by RSD with CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU but on 4/12 it can't reboot phone so I did it manually and it goes to 8/12 and phone shows E:failed to erase partition system.
I also tried to skip system by deleting it from xml but on every other step it can't do anything with partitions (data, cache, cdrom).
I tried fastboot to erase partitions manually but no luck with locked bootloader. So I tried to unlock it but it can't be done cause data can't be erased.
I even tried unbrick script for modified and it passed but no changes.
So what I tried:
1. Format Data/Cache - Can't enter Recovery
2. Flash RSD - Can't flash system partition
3. Unlock Bootloader - Can't format data partition
4. Unbrick - No changes after that
5. Fastboot flash CWM - only stock recovery can be flashed on locked bootloader
6. Fastboot erase data / system/ cache partitions - error
After that I'm assuming that emmc is damaged. If it's software damage it should be way to resurrect it.
Any help is welcome.
Sorry for my nasty English.

Ye, great chance that the emmc is damaged. But it still looks to me as if it is software damaged, not hardware, because of the successful flash of recovery. And it is on the same memory module.
Just as in the other post of this phone can u try this and give me the output of especially the flash of gpt.bin (partition table file). I never got an exact answer to it, for my liking, maybe i read over it.
If that doesn't flash (give me the output then i know for sure ), try flashing the boot.img and see what happens. I assume nothing will change from flashing the boot.img, but u gotta try something.
Next we can do is have a look at that intel flashing file, it looks promising. I never had to go to this part so i am out of general ideas (think outside the box maybe?). Maybe we can fiddle something from here. It looks to me like it can flash more than fastboot can, u just need the right files and some we can make, hopefully if i read the sources available to us right.

So it looks like only few partitions are broken but how to repair it without unlocking bootloader??

Hmm, it does flash a part of the system if I read it correct. After the first one it gives errors to all partitions after it.
Can u reboot to recovery now, we finally flashed it right. Didn't work last time.
The things I wanted to do with the Intel thingy, are already done with flashing motoboot. So the things I had there are done.
Verstuurd van mijn GT-P5110

Nope, still red logo on recovery. The same was flashed by RSD and same errors appeared as on fastboot. Only different is after flashing RSD I can turn normal powerup and phone restarts to red logo from AP Fastboot but after flashing fastboot commands an error appeared.

Yep, this happens because it has nothing to start.
There is just 1 more think I can think off, because all others are closed (locked) or don't work. Or if unlocked we still don't have access.
Does the command "fastboot oem format" does something?
Verstuurd van mijn GT-P5110

Completely forgot about this command, I'll try it after work.

FAILED (remote: Restricted OEM command)

Then its over I think. We can't flash a custom recovery and fiddle around with it. Because maybe by not asking for system/data partition at start etc u can reformat the emmc with parted or other application.
Sorry, only Motorola can fix it. Or u need to replace the motherboard maybe? But that's something else.
Oh, try 1 more thing. Is it possible to load a custom boot image by the command "fastboot boot (image)"? Don't think so, but who knows. So u won't flash it.

Yup, the defy could do it if i remember correctly. Hoped that this one would either. I am out of ideas now, but will have one more look. Don't expect anything, because we already tried most if not all the things we can do.
Edit:
All other things i can think of need to have adb access, and that can only be done by having an unlocked bootloader or root access. Because with root access u can flash a recovery even when u have a locked bootloader most of the time. But we don't have access to the system as well as the partitions, so we are stuck.
That Intel thingy can only flash the bootloader and the bootloader wont repartition the emmc. But we can try anyway if u want. Its a little bit different then the unbrick methode, just a little.

Today I flashed Samsung C3595 with partition table from S5610 and it's working well so "different" methods are not scary for me.

Yup, only official way.
Wysłane z Motorola RAZR i

here is the thing i talked about. Its just one more command with the unbrick method. But if u never try, u never know.
I assume u have all the files for the unbrick method still installed and on your PC. So u have the xFSTK driver and xfstk-dldr-solo.exe on your drive and working.
In the unbrick folder where the dnx and ifwi files are add the latest files from your latest firmware (dnx, ifwi and motoboot!).
Download the unbrick3.txt and rename to unbrick3.bat inside the folder with the original unbrick.bat
Now open a cmd shell inside the folder where the batch file is located. And then run unbrick3.bat.
After this try rsd lite again with the latest firmware u used.
Most likely it will not work... but ye, u gotta try.
I got this from an acer/asus device. It is the official unbrick methode from that device.

hey guys, i ve got the same problem. the phone stucks on the red M logo. i'm not familiar "aka" noob with this things. I wonder if anyone can give me a help?
I tried to wipe data and participation. the phone completes this commands but again stucks on the red logo.

Luckily, u don't have the same problem. U only have to search for a rsd lite flash guide. Flash your latest firmware that is available for your phone and country/brand. And all will most likely be good.

Yesterday I tried it and unfortunately nothing changed, still can't erase or write to those partitions.

XT890 Stuck on Red Logo. Probably damaged partitions
I woke up this morning to find that my Motorola XT890 is not working. I followed all the procedures for hard rest got the same result as listed below.
1. Normal Powerup - Freeze on Fastboot
2. Recovery - Freeze on Red Logo
3. Factory - Freeze on Red Logo
4. BP Tools - Freeze on Fastboot
5. Switch Console - Working
6. Power Off - Freeze on Fastboot
Contacted Motorola customer service, followed all the procedures as prescribed by Motorola customer service still stuck at Red Logo. Motorola has requested that I send it in for repair. The phone is 11 months old and under warranty. The unfortunate thing is that this is the second time I am sending the phone to Motorola for repair.

[Q] Not quite Bricked, but can't get anything but Fastboot

Ok, so I'll be the first to admit, I'm a bit new to all this.... I figured I was following directions, but something went amiss...
I was working through the process to put CM11 on my Razr i (which had the soak of 4.4.2 from Motorola on it...).
I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, (but of course never made a back-up). I was able to put in TWRP into the recovery partition and attempt to flash the OS zip image - which failed.
In that thread, there were many options to try, which I did, and eventually my phone will either get stuck at the "Warning - Bootloader Unlocked" screen, or if I reboot with Power/VolDown I can get into Fastboot. But every option in Fastboot menu just reboots the phone.
I can get to the phone with Fastboot from the PC through USB - and it *looks* like I can re-flash different recovery images, but nothing seems to change. The Lebobo flasher will not flash to the device at all - keeps saying "waiting for device" with any option. I have the Motorola USB drivers loaded.
Not sure what else to try.....

Check your drivers again and even reinstall them. U will need the Motorola ones and maybe even the Google ones.
The lebobo flasher uses the 'fastboot' executable to interact with the phone in fastboot. Get a copy off the fastboot exe from the Index thread in the general section. If u have the fastboot.exe or 'fastboot' binary if u are on linux then reboot your phone in bootloader mode. Open a commandprompt in the directory where u have the fastboot executable (shift+right mouse button). Now do the command "fastboot devices" if your device shows up in it the drivers are correctly installed. If it doesn't it not. If it does, install a recovery by using the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" assuming u renamed the recovery image to recovery.img.

i have the same probleme , my motorola razr i is stuck on warning ......... help me pleas:crying:

Verified Moto driver installed (reinstalled).
fastboot.exe is latest from Android SDK - api 21 version
fastboot devices shows "TA237059P0 fastboot"
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img looks like it works. on the PC says "OKAY" and finished. On the phone says Downloading.... then Flashing recovery ... but just sits there. Tried with 2 different Recovery images.
Forgot to mention - in command window on PC, when I use above commend - first thing that comes back "(bootloader) Variable not supported!"
If I use fastboot menu on the phone to then go to Recovery, the phone reboots and sits at the Warning screen again.
Lelobo still says "waiting for device" even though command line fastboot seems to connect to the device.

Wipe cache through fastboot and try again. It van help

Success!! used "fastboot erase cache" instead.... then flashed in the suggested Newbie recovery on page 1 of the CM11 thread. adb wouldn't sideload the modded image, so I stuck it on an sd card and loaded it from there... and voila, it is booting!

[Q] Can't flash system. Is Motherboard toast?

I have a Kindle Fire HD 7in 2012 model that is stuck on the orange/white boot logo. I have a lot of experience flashing Kindles but this is the first time I have encountered this problem. The boot and recovery partitions seem to flash ok, based on time but take a look at the time it takes when flashing system and also the time it takes to clear cache and userdata. Is this motherboard toast? Any way to save it?

No, your motherboard isn't toast. Those times are around how long it should take to flash. If you didn't notice, flashing system went fine. Fastboot format is weird on the Kindle Fires (it doesn't ever want to work properly), but the reason you were stuck at the "waiting for device" prompt is because you didn't add "-i 0x1949" to the end of the command. Notice that once you did, it went through fine (well, sorta). Your motherboard is not toast. If it was, you would not be able to boot it up at all, even to fastboot mode. Pressing the power button and/or any combination of key presses would get you absolutely nowhere. I would double-check you have the right images. What exactly are the boot/recovery/system image you're flashing?

Thanks for the reply. It's definitely a KFHD7 2012 model and I am using KFHD_SRT_1.3.5. The images are Version 7.3.0. I have used these images several times in the past to restore that model.
So you don't think it's unusual that flashing the system partition only took 1.235 seconds (usually takes 60-70 seconds)? Or that erasing cache also took only 1.235 seconds (usually takes approx. 50 seconds) and erasing userdata took 1.240 seconds (usually takes 80 to 90 seconds)? I am wondering if those partitions got corrupted but I don't know how to reset them when all I have to work with is fastboot.
And the bottom line is after reflashing all the above partitions, the Kindle is still stuck on the static boot logo. It's got me stumped. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh. I must have missed that. That does sound weird, but I'm not sure if your partitions got corrupted. Try running "fastboot oem format -i 0x1949" (this kinda "resets" the partition table to what it should be, in case anything is weird) then flashing the images again.

I am out of town for the weekend so I will try it on Monday. In the mean time, how to I reboot to the bootloader? Isn't that what happens when you go into fastboot? If not, how do I use the command fastboot -i 0x1940 oem format?

I've got a Moto X 1st Gen (XT1053), US, GSM-unlocked, upgraded to Lollipop (Blur_Version.222.27.5.ghost_row.Retail.en.US). I never rooted it or even unlocked the bootloader. On startup, it was frozen on the Motorola logo screen, so I booted into recovery mode and tried wiping the cache.
It was still sitting there saying it was wiping the cache more than 20 minutes later. I read a bunch of online reports of it being slow, but none described it taking more than 10. So I powered down to start over. But now I can't even get to the recovery menu -- when I select Recovery from the Fastboot menu, it keeps flashing the belly-up android no-command screen. When I do the power-volume up sequence to try to select the recovery menu, it says
Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
and goes back to flashing the belly-up screen.
With fastboot, I can execute erase cache.
$ ./fastboot erase cache
erasing 'cache'...
OKAY [ 1.189s]
finished. total time: 1.189s
and the phone says 'erasing partition cache'. But if I try format cache --
./fastboot format cache
formatting 'cache' partition...
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
FAILED (remote failure)
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.223s
and the phone says:
getvar partition-type:cache
Seems there aren't any partition-type vars --
./fastboot getvar all 2>&1|fgrep partition
returns nothing.
I really, really want to recover the data on this phone -- my wife just took a lot of pictures with it that weren't backed up -- so I really want to try everything I can that doesn't wipe the userdata before I resort to something that does.
I can only think of two things that have any chance -- finding the right cache.img and trying fastboot flash cache cache.img -- but I haven't been able to find it to try. Motorola doesn't have a recovery image for the Moto X 1st gen online. The other would be rebuilding the partition table if I can, which I may not be able to without adb.
Does anyone know where I could find the right cache.img or have any other suggestions as to how I could proceed?
thanks.

I managed to fix it (at least superficially -- it booted and I could save the files) by downloading the firmware here:
http://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto X (1st gen-2013)/Stock/XT1053 T-Mobile/
and flashing gpt.bin, the partition table.

Got my bootloader unlocked, but when trying to flash or unlock critical I get an error and it goes to a screen with the razer logo, "powered by android" at the bottom, and super small text in the upper left "press any key to shutdown"
and shows this in the cmd window:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flashing unlock_critical

I do have the full sdk package and used android studios sdk manager to get the latest google usb driver.

EDIT: Also I'm on a global version (bought it on razer's website)

Download any version of the firmware available on the Razer developer portal then run the flash-all script. Once that's done, flash boot and system images separately on both partitions just to be on the safe side. Your phone should be able to boot normally after that. Just run setup, flash arter97's kernel, boot into TWRP and try to enter your lock code (odds are this'll fail), then reboot into TWRP, this time your password/lock code should work, then flash Magisk

Running the flash_all script just throws it into that shutdowns again and keeps going into it anytime I go back into fastboot mode.
also gives me this
Code:
C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>fastboot devices
my S/N fastboot
C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>flash_all
C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>set fastboot_cmd=fastboot
C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>fastboot flash partition:0 gpt_both0.bin
Sending 'partition:0' (44 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (Invalid argument))
fastboot: error: Command failed.
or is just sits there likes this:
Code:
C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>adb reboot bootloader
C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>flash_all
C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>set fastboot_cmd=fastboot
C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>fastboot flash partition:0 gpt_both0.bin

In that case, fastboot flash each part individually under both partitions (where applicable) and you should be back to stock

I'm having the exact same issue. I'm unable to get any flash to work. Tried multiple different machines. Keep getting the same errors. Did you find a solution?
Code:
c:\adb>fastboot flash partition:0 gpt_both0.bin
Sending 'partition:0' (44 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (Invalid argument))
Finished. Total time: 0.005s
Then my RP2 will go to the "Powered by Android" screen with the Razer logo and say "Press any key to shutdown"
I can use "fastboot devices" and get my devices serial number back along with rebooting the bootloader so I don't think it's a driver issue. Out of options and could use some help. At this point I can't even get the factory images to flash.

Incorrect cord?

Razer recommends you use a USB 3 Type-A to Type-C spec-compliant cable for any device flashing.
