Hi Guys ;
I have unlocked the bootloader of my HTC one and now inside fastboot it shows UNLOCKED. I have also tried to flash both TWRP and CWM recoveries using fastboot method and both finishes with success with no error messages.
but the problem is that I can not boot into recovery. I dont know what happens exactly but seems rebooting into recovery fails and phone reboots again into normal mode so I see the htc boot screen twice and then I am in normal mode.
Do you have any ideas ?
Regards
I finally managed to install TWRP. the trick was to disable fast boot in power settings , then turn off the phone completely and enter hboot and then fastboot.
I was entering fastboot directly through adb and it was not working ! it should be a bug inside bootloader. it should not matter how you enter fastboot , but in this case it does matter ! I hope it helps someone.
Hi guys, i need some help, i wanted to convert my A2 in 6X, and i need to enter edl mode to do this. Because i couldn't enter edl via fastboot or adb (i had unlocked bootloader ad twrp recovery installed) i tried to relock bootloader (maybe this was the error), now i'm stuck at message that says that system is corrupt and devices wouldn't boot, i can only access fastboot, tried to boot twrp via fastboot but didn't work, fastboot getvar unlocked return no, now i'm trying to follow the guide to unbrick from ARB but phone should be in edl mine is in fastboot, please help me, any suggestion is accepted! Thanks

use option 5 then select the second option
it will boot the device into edl mode.
if you have issues with it not letting you enter it with this then try to unlock the bootloader again.

already did it, didn't work, unlocking bootloader gave me error: oem unlock is not allowed.
i menage to enter edl mode using test point method, after that i flashed latest rom, and phone booted up, but i turned off to reassable it, and when i tried to reboot it it went to edl mode and i cannot exit edl mode, my pc see it like QUALCOMM9008 and if i try to flash with miflash it does the flash but i can't bot it after flashing success. i'm trying now to download an older fastboot rom
I unlocked my redmi 4 (Santoni) boot loader and flashed pixel experience ROM (https://mega.nz/#F!INZgnAZI!9fuWhfCuazOO5YPBjxGlmA). It was working fine for a few days (Small heating issue was there). Then one day while i was charging the phone the phone turned off and never turn back on. When i try to switch on the mi logo flashes for a split second and then turns off. I tried to get into recovery but couldn't.
I can get into fastboot mode. I tried flashing the phone using Mi flash tool and fastboot rom. But it shows an error "flash tz error". When i tried an old version of mi flash tool i get the "Unspecified error (0x80004005: FAILED (remote: Critical partition flashing is not allowed))
Please Help.....

Have you tried installing TWRP via fastboot?
I had the same exact problem, i put my phone on charge & when i came back to check it was switched off. It wouldn't turn on except the mi logo. I tried to flash through fastboot turns out my bootloader was re-locked for some reason. I had to re-unlock it then proceed on to fash fastboot miui rom. Check if your bootloader is locked or not.

This is a good idea! Probably u first try to install trwp in fastboot mode. If this doesn't work try to unlock bootloader again and then install trwp.
When all these Option doesn't work u still can open the phone and use edl fastboot mode to flash miui again.

No big problem just go in edl mode
Search how to go in edl Redmi 4 in Google
Problem is your boot loader is locked

but he already unlocked his bootloader before so it should be easier to unlock in again and then flash whatever he wants...

One time fail in flashing = locked boot loader
Or for unlocking bootloader from official (easy) need live mobile not dead

Tried unlocking boot loader and was not successful because the phone was bricked. My only option was to use edl test point. Now i installed miui 11. (Aprart from some minor bugs which can be eliminated by reflashing some other roms) Thank you guys. Now my phone is successfully unbricked.
For somebody who is having the same issues,
My phone (Redmi 4_Santoni) was completely bricked. The only thing i can access was fastboot by pressing the volume down + Power button combination. But i could not install twrp or any other recovery because my boot loader was locked. I got it fixed completely with the help of you guys (Thanks again) and i want to share the procedure i went through.
Condition: Completely bricked with only fastboot access, Locked bootloader.
I tried this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j27x5iJSS40) but failed because i could not access recovery. So my only solution was to use edl test point flashing. I followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74818435&postcount=3. It was very easy to do. But in the device manager (Press Windows key + R and then type devmgmt.msc and press enter) instead of showing "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008", the device is shown as "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E". The problem was you have to plug in in USB cable while the test points is being connected with a pair of tweezers or a paperclip as shown in the link above.
Make sure you already downloaded the latest mi flash tool from here https://xiaomiflashtool.com/ and download fast boot rom from the official website. (Go to https://en.miui.com/ Click rom downloads. Click flashing guide. Download the fastboot rom from there for your device.) Now flash your device using mi flash tool and voila. your phone is unbricked.
Thank you guys..
I would like to know if there is anyone who knows how to fix the bootloader error on a TF700T with the Unrecoverable bootloader error. I have access to fastboot and the entire device is wiped due to following another tutorial for fastboot to recover from the bootloop error.. there is no more way to enter recovery or cold start android... the device has two options, fastboot mode, or being stuck at the asus logo untill the battery runs out. I don't think i can flash anything with fastboot as the bootloader is locked.
i'm open to any and all critiques and pieces of advice..
Hi i have a model XT1921-5. It got stuck in the logo screen and couldnt boot into recovery so i tried a rescue with the RSA, it detected the phone in fastboot and found the firmware but failed flashing it. Now it only boots into fastboot.
When flashing the firmware manually only gpt.bin fails but the phone is still stuck in fastboot (failed to validate hab image - failed to validate boot image. same with recovery image). I tried everything i could but nothing worked out.
I think my only "chance" is to try a blankflash. The problem is that my bootloader is locked (never unlocked) so i cant do fastboot oem edl, i cant find anything about test points for this model.. So im looking for a way to maybe hard brick the phone to force it boot into EDL mode and try the blankflash. Unless there's a way to set the OEM unlock option via fastboot..
I appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.
I was able to put my phone on QDL mode via test point.
Now i tried to flash the blankflash but it throws the error "XML (0 bytes) not validated"..
Does anyone knows what this error means? If is a version mismatch then i cant find a newer version of this blankflash..
Any help is always appreciated.
For anyone interested this is the test point you need to short to boot into QDL mode
