Here's the story. Got Google Fi package and Nexus 6 today. Decided I'd load Android M preview on Nexus 6. did all the fastboot stuff to get the developer preview installed, then while still in fastboot mode I installed TWRP, then locked fastboot, then rebooted into TWRP. Pushed ROM zip to /sdcard through adb, tried wiping everything failed. Tried flashing zip, everything failed. Decided to reboot. TWRP asked me if I wanted to install SuperSU, i chose to because I thought I might need it to get TWRP working. After rebooting got message "Your device has failed verification and may not work properly" then it powers off. I can boot into fastboot/recovery, but in recovery the touchscreen doesn't work so I can't do anything. Booting normally gives the failed verification message. Tried fastboot format userdata, which I believe is what caused the touchscreen to cease registering in TWRP.
Is there any way for me to recover this thing? Back when I had a Galaxy Nexus, and even with my S5, there's nothing really that can be done that would completely brick the thing. I'm pretty dumbfounded that a Nexus device would be so easily bricked...it's not like I don't have experience with this stuff, I've been rooting and developing Android apps for years.
I have a feeling I have to return the thing, but Amazon has no more stock, and if I buy directly from Google or Motorola I'll have to pay sales tax.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Did you lock the bootloader just to be clear?
bricked? no, you just didnt read up in information properly. you relocked your bootloader. as of android 5.0, you have to enable unlocking the bootloader after you boot up in the developer section. since you relocked your bootloader before you checked if your device will boot, you can not unlick your bootloader again, which means you can not use twrp either. what you can try is using fastboot to wipe your cache and data. if that doesnt work, id try to get an rma.

Yes. I still remembered all of the flashboot commands from my Galaxy Nexus. It didn't even occur to me to look anything up.

If a device is unusable, without any way to recover it, it's essentially a paperweight, or bricked. So if my only option is an RMA, then it is bricked. I don't mean to sound rude or argumentative by the way... I appreciate your help. Just clarifying the semantics.

when you get the failed verification message, what happens after that?
does it ever make it to the M preview?
Also if you wait a little while after that message, you may be able to use adb commands again.
I had the same thing happen with M and TWRP and was able to recover it.

It says it will reboot in 5 seconds, but after 5 seconds the screen just goes blank. It appears the device is off, but maybe not.
Do you know what adb commands I would need to use to recover from this state?

technically, its not bricked, not yet anyways. as many people have fixed this issue using fastboot to wipe cache and data.
well, let it sit for a few minutes after the message, it may just boot normally. That verification message appears with M preview for many users.
you may also see HERE for another possible solution.
if adb is working, chances are pretty good its booting into android, in which case you wont need to do anything else, but let it boot (be patient, it can take several minutes), then retick the selection to allow oem unlock.

ADB works when I boot to TWRP, but when I try to boot normally, after the device will boot in 5 seconds message, the screen goes blank and adb does not work. I let it sit like that for more than 30 minutes. Curiously, when the screen goes blank my PC does chime indicating hardware has been attached.
Can you still get into twrp? If so just move a ROM over to it and flash that, enable OEM unlock restart and unlock boot loader...

If you have TWRP, boot to bootloader and use the following fastboot commands:
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
Then boot to TWRP, connect to PC. Download a ROM to your PC and drag and drop in the root of internal storage. Then flash the ROM from TWRP, boot up, enable OEM unlock. Then boot back to bootloader and:
fastboot oem unlock
You should be good after that.

I can boot into TWRP. At first it was "working" but it couldn't mount /data so I couldn't really do anything (that was the first thing I tried.) Now however when I boot to TWRP it doesn't respond to touch at all... I can get into a shell with adb, but I haven't figured out anything to do from there.

II'm attempting that now.but fastboot format userdata and fastboot format cache fail. after booting into twrp the Nexus shows up in My Computer, but internal storage does not. I can push a ROM zip to the device with adb, but haven't figured out how to flash it yet because touch doesn't work...
SUCCESS! I was able to flash the ROM .zip using ADB in TRWP using
Code:
ADB push ROM.zip /sdcard/.
ADB shell
twrp install /sdcard/ROM.zip
THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Lesson learned today? QUIT RE-LOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER!
You can lock boot loader, you just have to make sure your phone boots first before locking it
I need to lock my bootloader to do an exchange at T-Mobile. I have 20R stock flashed, but it still says custom bootloader upon boot, how do I relock it safely?
I read that "fastboot oem lock" will work, but will brick it if I don't do it perfectly. Any advice on what to do?

ive done it .. it works. it will build dalvik once it reboots.
I was able to Lock the bootloader.
1. I connected the phone to my PC
2. Powered on the Phone (it took a few tried of pulling the battery and powering on)
3. Check the box for OEM Unlock in Dev. Option
4. Use Minimal ADB and Fastboot and type in
Quote:
adb devicecs
- you should see the phone listed as one of the devices in the command line window
Quote:
adb reboot bootloader
- phone should reboot and you shouold see 3 lines of text on top

Phone reboots and the boot screen does not show the unlocked bootloader message anymore
I'm terribly sorry if bumping is not ok.
Thought it wasn't worth making a new thread, since my post is about the one above.
Has anybody actually tried these steps above? (Since every other thread mentioning this says it's a one-way only thing..)
Does locking the bootloader means also loosing the custom recovery? (I'd expect that, but asking to be sure)
Does it return the phone to it's original state? (ie. before one unlocked the bootloader, or there are some differences?)
Does it also means I would be able to get official OTA updates and so on? (since with a custom recovery, that's not possible)
Thanks in advance.
Yes, it does work. I did it, worked perfectly. Yes it does return your device to it's original state. Just make sure the stock ROM is flashed and all should be well. I didn't try, but I see no reason why it wouldn't let you get OTA updates from T-Mobile. Let me know if you need help.

ive said ive done it. on the above instructions you dont beleive.??
i think you loose the twrp phone doesnt show unlocked bootloader message did not check recovery but it must revert t stock one.. not sure about OTA since am not in tmobile network.
you dont need OTA. you can always download KDZ and flash it with LGUP.
and stay uptodate.

And no @raptorddd , I did not mean that.
Your post is the only mentioning that locking the bootloader is possible, while all the other similar threads have ony people saying otherwise / it's not possible. I guess a slightly doubt is legit to have, don't take it wrongly

My H811 T-mobile phone needs service. It has original 20v software version. It is unlocked with TWRP and rooted. Can I use this method? Do I first have to downgrade software to some other version? Will this method also take out TWRP and root or do I still have to take them out before doing this? How? Please help.

no need to downgrade. to remove root and any trace if phone works. is to use KDZ then once it boots into system do the lock procedure. so it locks and the small white letter are removed. this way its like stock rom and recovery and the above commmands will make bootloader locked. and sent to repair. if bootloops try the freezing method.
Used on an LG Aristo that has Cyanogen and it worked

This was the only one i found that didnt brick my phone and trust me ive bricked and unbricked this phone many times
When you use the fastboot command to lock back your bootloader, the phone doesn't revert automatically to the stock recovery and actually that is partly the reason why it bricks and other main reason is that changes made to bootloader to obtain root brick the phone. before you relock bootloader, if you have SuperSU (in-app menu option) or Magisk (uninstall zip file), use their respective methods to unroot the phone, then use twrp to flash .image file of stock recovery to recovery partition then use the fastboot command to lock the bootloader. Even then it may or may not work because if whatever method the phone uses to check the integrity of bootloader and/or recovery, such as md5, if it doesn't match, the phone will still brick. Since all your data on phone will be erased regardless as soon as you lock the bootloader, i personally just fastboot lock the bootloader, remove battery to power down, use the volume up and plug usb cable in from pc to put phone in download mode and just use LGUP (uppercut) if have kdz file already, which i do, i just let LG Bridge download the file, find it in programs folder and copy it to another location before LG Bridge deletes it --OR-- just use error recovery option in Software Update tab in LG Bridge as both LGUP and LG Bridge will detect the phone in download mode even if it is bricked.
By the way, I have used both methods above dozens of times without any issues, someone above who mentioned phone boot-looping because of locking the bootloader, it is boot-looping not because of hardware flaw which was widespread in LG G3 but a software issue (phone boots up, doesn't find the software configuration it is looking for and just restarts) and they are not the same issues, no need to freeze the phone, won't help.
the method works, but no OTA from T-Mobile. "verification problem".
When I try to "adb reboot bootloader" I get "security error".
If I try reboot recovery, TWRP is definitely not there.
Just want to update from20Q to 20X.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi !
I bought in January the nice P8 Lite 2017 and received a PRA-LX1C432 (dual sim europe no carrier).
It was with Android 7.0 and EMUI 5.0 and i wanted to root it.
I did it well, and was with the firmware PRA-LXA1C432B182 in stock and rooted with the tuto from this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8...ck-rom-huawei-prague-pra-xxxc432b182-t3727816
and uninstalled TWRP to put back stock recovery.
Later, I wanted to unroot my phone, and that's where things went wrong. I tried to do it with the superSU option and after a hard reset it was working and not rooted, but i'd still have the message "this phone can't be trust" so i tried to relock the bootloader and it did hard reset the phone again and now, i'm stuck with a phone that can send sms or go through the internet with LTE, but can't access fm, camera, google music, nfc is going on and off, calls don't work, etc... In dev options, Allow OEM unlock is greyed and I can't change anything. Phone is recognized by computer and I can acces memory of the phone.
I can hard reset it won't change, i ca also accessFastboot, or recovery or eRecovery, but in Fastboot mode it says "PHONE Unlock FRP Lock" and from my computer i can't do anything : if i try to flash twrp with fastboot command, i have the message "FAILED remote the command is not allowed", if i try to lock/unlock/relock bootloader it says "FAILED remote root type is risk".
Clearly, I don't know what to do. I'm used with rooting/unrooting smartphones from different brands (Samsung, LG, Sony, Huawei...), even though i'm far from being a master, and using Fastboot/ADB commands, but... I don't know.
If someone has any idea, I'm taking. I'm thinking about dload method but, of cooourse, I do NOT have a sdcard, so it's the last thing i would have tried from all i have seen on xda and elsewhere.
Thanks for reading and taking time to answer and help me, and sorry for not perfect english, i'm french but trying my best !
Run a eRecovery restore , it restore the entire smartphone to stock and also lock bootloader. Idk if this can solve your problems but i had ur same problem a days ago and i restored my phone enterely.

TWRP is not installed, and I can't flash it in any way. Fastboot says "FAILED (remote : command not allowed)" if I try flashing recovery or system or anything. It also says "FAILED (remote : root type is risk) if I try to lock/unlock/relock the bootloader.
Ok, I'm actually trying something. I plugged the phone into my computer, and HiSuite told there was an update available for my phone, so I just clicked on it. It's doing right now, I will edit my post after it has finished (for good or bad).
EDIT : Ok, si it did work ! My phone is now on PRA-LX1C432B194, everything is working, not rooted. I relocked the bootloader with Fastboot, the command did work (guess I can root it again if I need now). But I think I'll leave it like that ^^'
Allow OEM unlock isn't greyed anymore, I came back to the original state of my phone but with an update not (yet) available in my country, no more "Device can't be trusted" message. Like if nothing had ever happened (expect it will be written PHONE Relocked).
This phone is really sensitive, haha^^
But as anyway I made it
Thanks anyway for trying to help !
has anyone solved this problem by unlocking the bootloader? with error: Failed: Command did not succeed
I tried the following bulds:
52.0.A.3.202
52.0.A.8.14
52.0.A.8.25
52.0.A.8.50
Thanks
Bibi
small update:
after updating to 52.0.A.8.50, I made "factory settings" to reset it to the old version.
But when I restart without wifi, I find build 52.0.A.8.50 again
And now the OEM unlock option, which was usable before, has turned gray !! Mystery for me.
Obviously he wants me to update to 52.0.A.8.85 !!!
SOLVED INFORMATION:
I was wrong in writing IMEI of my device, and I put a wrong IMEI in SONY's selector, on its official page, which happens to have given its unlock code all quiet.
then the problem FAILED (remote: 'Command did not succeed')
can be translated as "I don't have the exact unlock code for your phone"
I did this to version 52.0.A.8.131 that I had installed before.

Try .131 vor wait for September
For wait for Q, maybe Sony will remove more DRM TA protection like it did with P
if it was for 2 or 3 days it is not a problem.
but I can't wait until late September.
Let's say that I bought it to be root .. and if I can't do it .. maybe I'll send it back.
Sorry, but are you telling me that they haven't solved even after almost a year?
nobody rooted?
The 3.131 where I can find it and flash arla.
if I find it on XFIRM, what program do I use to put it in my phone?
among other things to set it to factory settings he left me at 52.0.A.8.50, even without wifi.
And nice surprise .. OEM unlock is now deactivated !!!!
it leaves me very mulble

Then:
if I do a factory reboot and I don't put the wifi in the first cellphone settings, the OEM unlock option remains gray.
If I do it and I put the wifi in the meantime that is imposed then OEM unlock is usable and therefore can be activated. Correct?
(not that it makes much sense)
However I am installing updates one after the other, and for every update I try the command. (what's also coming to 52.0.A.8.131 which has been expanding in August 2019 (practically these days) and text as MartinX3 advised.

It's forced by the mobile providers to check if the simcard allows unlocking
Sony isn't alone here
Unlocking factory resets the phone, too
I did check the unlock box and followed only the Sony instructions and used my generated IMEI code.

wait MartinX3,
aren't you saying that you need a simcard inserted in the cell to unlock it right? just the wifi I hope to activate the option.
Look, I followed Sony's directions (which are basically 4 things on the cross)
But it gives me that error: FAILED (remote: 'Command did not succeed')
LIST OF WHAT I DID:
-I do All the appropriate procedures:
-I received the unlock code from the official Sony site
- Platform-tool download and driver
-on the phone sets it basic, active developer commands
- USB DEBUG and UNLOCK OEM tip on the mobile phone menu
- I turn off the phone

Sony in his guide makes it so easy, but neither does he make the possible mistakes.
And that I can't find an explanation for this specific error.

wait MartinX3,
aren't you saying that you need a simcard inserted in the cell to unlock it right? just the wifi I hope to activate the option.
Look, I followed Sony's directions (which are basically 4 things on the cross)
But it gives me that error: FAILED (remote: 'Command did not succeed')
LIST OF WHAT I DID:
-I do All the appropriate procedures:
-I received the unlock code from the official Sony site
- Platform-tool download and driver
-on the phone sets it basic, active developer commands
- USB DEBUG and UNLOCK OEM tip on the mobile phone menu
- I turn off the phone
-Attack the mobile in fastboot mode (blue light)

I found out!
then:
turn and turn, and check IMEI of the cell I used.
I was wrong in writing IMEI, and I put the wrong IMEI in SONY's selector, on its official page, which happens to have given its unlock code all quiet.
then the problem FAILED (remote: 'Command did not succeed')
can be translated as "I don't have the exact unlock code for your phone"
I did this to version 52.0.A.8.131 that I had installed before.
well OTHER PROBLEM!
it doesn't flash me twrp
with this error:
Sending 'recovery' (34192 KB) OKAY [0.737s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'No such partition.')
I'm looking at guides.

HTML:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I know you can flash even with androxyed flash, but when you do ... it doesn't start anymore (the white sony script remained) ...
and I went a bit panicked !!!!
doing the Flash of the original firware it has been restored, but returned to the point of before. Install twrp.twp or superSU in short, activate the ROOT
the writing that says that the bootloader is corrupt, at start each time the cell terrifies me every time I see it. BRRRR

If you corrupted the firmware, please use xperifirm & newflasher from XDA to reflash the firmware
Instructions are in the ROM section of the xz3 on XDA

yes yes, I know that with the flash mode they can reinstall the official system.
there is also the official sony flastool called EMMA. which I have to say is not bad.
Now the system is ok, official.

yes, it's like you say.
Looking at the guides, I think the right solution for me is an official firmware kernel that has both twrp and magikic inside.
I found a guide of 2017, but the official firmware files have changed, I do not find myself in the guide.
Can't you recommend something to me, or the keywords to look for on this theme?
I wanted to learn to change the firmware for future root myself.

Each has its own spaces. do not worry. Meanwhile, I've made progress !!!
You know that after unblock I had problems installing TWRP.Practically the command gave error.
I found the solution around.
The guides say:
HTML:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
but I have this error:
HTML:
FAILED (remote: 'No such partition.')
basically in the version of android 9 they created 2 partitions and practically the recovery was divided into recovery ramdisck, recovery ...
They explain it HERE
In practice some new systems (I did not understand if the kelner or just the boot), do not have the active recovery partition and then flash the recovery, it is like doing it on a folder that does not exist.
So they recommend starting the mini twrp operating system via adb.
And through this active twrp (but not installed), install twrp itself, and then the apps for the root.
So, I use the new command that starts twrp without installing it:
HTML:
fastboot boot twrp.img
then it takes 3 minutes with the word sony and then I see twrp
I make a twrp backup for security
then from there I install .img used for the command and moved to the phone while twrp is active and I do install, install img and select partition recovery ramdisck.
I tried to install also in the boot partition, which shows in the list.
and apparently the cell works correctly anyway.
In the guides they never say in which partition to put.
Meanwhile there are install magisk 18.1 (and a zip called permissive; I don't know what it is but from the name it seems useful).
Well, everything is smooth and without errors.
Restart, I use the twrp access commands (which in the case of xz3 are volume DOWN + prower simultaneously while the phone is still off).
And the recovery is there, but it has the usual tuoch problem that doesn't work.
I see the twrp main screen, which seems to work correctly, but the touch ...
I then checked the root, via the app downloadable on the cell from the magisk manager repository and marks the correct root.
Obviously I don't update anything about 19.3, which you wrote in other places that is corrupt.
: Sciocco: NOW! I just have to fix twrp and my epic quest will be over.
(although I'm worried about flashing a hypothetical Q that's coming out)
can you give me some inspiration for the touch that doesn't work twrp?

Please use the August .131 firmware and my matching stock twrp
Hi All,
I'm hoping someone will be able to help as I've spent most of the day chasing my tail it seems.
My 'stock' (non-rooted/non-flashed) Pixel 5 went into a boot loop randomly last night.
I've restarted, I've gone into the recovery mode and have tried to flash an OTA via ADB (which may not sound like much but is an achievement for someone with my limited technical skills), it's getting to 94% and then I'm receiving an error on the cmd prompt saying 'adb: failed to read command: No error' but on the phone itself it says that is was a 'success' status 0.
I've tried the current OTA and the developer version and I'm getting the above issue on both.
I tried copying the 'zip' to a USB stick and have plugged that in using the USB A to USB C dongle that comes with the pixel but I'm receiving an error stating that it cannot be initiated.
Can anyone suggest a possible next step? I have some files that I've realised don't go to my cloud backup and they are important to me so I'd like to if possible not have to wipe the device.
Many thanks.
Are you using the latest ADB from the android SDK?
You can always try the factory image and remove the -w from the flash-all.cmd file.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to respond. Everything was downloaded yesterday so is up to date. I re-downloaded just now and checked again and am still getting the same.
(~94%) adb: failed to read command: No error on cmd
Install from ADB completed with status 0 on the phone.
Is there a simple guide on how to flash-all (for someone as not technical as me) that you can point me towards?
Have you try to flash your new firmware on the web? Go to web https://developers.google.com/android/images. Click on Flash and follow instructions.
did you try a different cable or usb port? borrow your friend's pc perhaps?

Hi, thanks for this, I'll try another sideload with the April update and attempt it from another laptop, if that still doesn't work then I'll try the flash as you suggest.

Hi, no not yet. I think this will be the last step before I factory reset. Will try another cable, laptop and the April OTA this evening when I have time.

Also a note on trying to use the web flash utility. Make sure to look at the advanced options on the installation page, it gives you an option to flash the latest update without wiping your device at all.
That could help in getting the phone running again so you can recover your important files, before deciding to do a compete wipe, if that's what you have planned.
Just look around the settings carefully before flashing and everything should go well .
The same thing happened to me, it must have been the April update, I updated my phone, everything seemed to work and then all of the sudden I was watching a video last night and the phone rebooted itself and kept being stuck in boot, it won't load the os but it keeps restarting itself.
I tried accesing recovery mode but on the bootloader screen it won't let me use the volume keys to start the phone in recovery mode or to try and hard reset it, while on the bootloader screen it resets itself... :/ I'll give google a call

That sucks. Hopefully they'll be able to do something more than just a factory reset.
I've tried sideloading the April update and that also failed at 94%. Will try another laptop in a while and see if that works, then try the flash as suggested above, if not then it's a factory reset for me.

You do not need to bootloader unlock to use official firmware. You've been trying to do an OTA update, you can try the factory images above. Use the "link" to get a download, unzip, edit the flash-all.bat file, remove the -w from the fastboot flash update line.
Code:
fastboot -w update image-redfin-rq2a.210405.005.zip

fastboot update image-redfin-rq2a.210405.005.zip

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Am I missing a step? Should the phone be on a certain menu when running the bat file?

Is that a fact? I haven't had a bl unlock for many years now but I thought I could only do an OTA flash from fastboot with a locked bootloader. I know I can factory reset but other than that .. So if I loaded the beta 12 I could go back and flash a factory image? I would certainly flip the OEM switch first just in case.

That's a good question. I assumed it was possible otherwise why have a factory image available. The consensus seems to be mixed though.
OP: I just did an update from January to April and yes I also got the error at 94% from ADB but the phone reported status 0. Booted up no problem. Have you tried booting into safe mode? Is USB Debugging on? Can you get a logcat of the attempted boot?

Hi,
I've tried booting into safe mode by keeping the volume down button pressed but no luck.
I'm pretty sure that the USB debugging is enabled, but not 100% certain.
How would I go about getting logcat of the attempted boot?
Thanks for all the help thus far.

You'll have to factory reset in recovery. I had something similar happen yesterday morning. The reboot was done by me on the way to work though. A factory reset fixed it. Of course all user data was wiped, but Google backups did a good job of restoring almost everything I wanted restored (except for apps not on the G Play Store of course). You'll need to sign into everything again, but most things won't be lost including root.
