NOTE: Says when on rsd mode failed to boot 0x00001
on fastboot same + is says failed to format pds and does't connect to the pc after that
i have over 50 hours in 5 days looking for way to fix no luck .
i try my luck with Fastboot. I first tried flashing the recovery with no luck. I then tried flashing over the official moto files (boot/sytstem/....)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
C:\SDK_tools>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (8192 KB)... OKAY [ 0.694s]
writing 'boot'... FAILED (remote: (19000008))
....
If i follow that order boot/system and recovery fail then userdata says it works and it lets me flash the other options (but clearly just says they work it looks like it's lying)

If I try fastboot oem unlock I'm prompted with the unlock message and after hitting accept. I see the following error on the screen
ERROR: Failed to format UDA.
Error while unlocking device.
My next try was with RSD light. I tried flashing all of the images for my xoom off this site . all of them give me the following error:
Failed flashing process. Failed Flashing process. Interface AP-OS: Error flashing subscriber unit. Device API error: 0xE0020085 Address: 0x1F870 Command: ADDR (0xE0222085); phone connected
I ran out of ideas on what to do next. One post i saw said try using a nand backup but I can't find one that will work.
Any help would be great. I really love my XOOM and I'm sad i can't fix it.
I have somehow totally trashed my Android install. I have a UK retail Moto G XT1032.
While downloading the OTA lollipop update, the download appeared to stall. I decided to give up on the update, so I switched the phone off. When I turned it back on again, every single process crashed. "Unfortunately dialler/android.process.acore/Calendar/android.process.media/etc has stopped". I can keep tapping "OK" for ever to clear these notifications, but can't actually use the phone for anything at all.
So I decided to do a factory reset from fastboot. It made no difference.
I tried a factory reset from recovery. It made no difference.
Using fastboot, I attempted to install the stock ROM according to the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219. Everything seemed to flash OK - I got OKAY on the PC and the commands appeared to be running on the phone OK, but when it restarted, the phone was exactly the same - my wallpaper photo was still there, and the app icons that I could glimpse behind the endless notifications were my apps.
I tried several more times, this time flashing the 4.4.4 ROM (RETAIL-GB_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF). Exactly the same results - nothing changes when I restart.
It's as if the mfastboot flash commands do nothing at all! I have run all the mfastboot commands described by the guide in the order given.
I've also tried booting to recovery and connecting to ADB, but the PC cannot see the device.
I've tried replacing the recovery with CWM and TWRP .img files, but the flash command, while seeming to work, doesn't change anything at all! The recovery that I have installed is the standard KXB21.14-L1.40.
I have tried "mfastboot.exe erase recovery", before attempting to update the recovery, but it makes no difference.
Does anybody have any idea what I am doing wrong? It seems that no "mfastboot flash xxx yyy" command works at all on my phone.
Did you installfastboot or mfastboot? ADB commands only work if the is booted and USB debugging is on.
Got the same problem. I've already posted this in a few threads and didn't get any answer, though
Sounds crazy but, when you type fastboot devices with your phone connected in fastboot mode, does the command return your phone's serial #?
Yes, everything via fastboot works (says complete, done etc.) except it doesn't affect the real system. If you sideload ADB you will see that the system, data and cache partition become read-only. I've managed to remount only data partition with write privileges, but that doesn't help.
Are you flashing each partition manually? You can see your device's serial # in fastboot?

Originally, I used the version of fastboot that came with the first stock ROM I tried (falcon_retgb_user_4.3_14.10.0Q3.X-76-LGG-8_54_release-keys-cid7-Retail_GB).
Later on, I installed mfastboot and used that instead. The results were the same. Nothing seems to actually be flashed, but there are no errors on either the PC or the phone.
ADB does not work in fastboot (I don't believe it's supposed to!), but it also will not work with the version of recovery that I have, which is why I was attempting to install CWM and TWRP in its place.

Yes. I'm currently trying the following sequence with the XT1032_RETAIL-GB_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml ROM...
Code:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
The mfastboot command returns OKAY for each of these, and a couple of yellow lines appear on the phone for each command, indicating that the right command is running, with no error messages.
I have never used mfastboot. Maybe try using fastboot to flash? I have used fastboot on my Moto G and Moto Atrix HD with great success.
Tried with fastboot, tried with mfastboot, got no errors but nothing changes. The real problem I suppose is corrupted partitions.
Have you tried the moto flash tool??

@IcyBee, I see you're flashing the GB retail. Is it possible to try a different ROM such as the GPE?

I've just given it a go.
When flashing the ROMs, it basically runs the same mfastboot commands that I was running before, so the result was exactly the same.
However, the ADB Driver install button was worth trying. The driver supplied has enabled my PC to communicate with the phone using ADB when in recovery mode!
Unfortunately, after selecting "apply update from ADB" on the phone, and running "adb sideload <ROM zip file>", it sends it to the phone (taking a couple of minutes), and the phone says "Verifying update package", followed by "Installation aborted".
When you sideload, do you need some sort of special format ROM file?

I was hoping to use the stock ROM, just to get the phone back to its original state.
If the mfastboot command does nothing, I doubt trying different ROMs will help. But I'll probably try it if I can't get anything else to work.
thanks a lot!
@IcyBee - I have seen this before. Try using fastboot on a Linux PC / Laptop. You can use a live cd to do this - no need to actually install Linux.
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

Thanks for the idea. I happen to have a laptop running the latest Lubuntu.
I installed fastboot as you directed and re-flashed everything. Exactly the same. The commands all say OKAY, the yellow text on the phone says it's running the commands, but when I reboot - everything is exactly as it was before - including my wallpaper photo and app icons. And every single process on the phone is crashing.
I do not believe fastboot is actually working on this phone. The only commands that seem to work are the ones to unlock the bootloader and the one to reboot the phone.
@IcyBee - does the fastboot commands for flashing the system.img files actually match the files in the firmware folder?
I.e first file is sparsechunk.0 not sparsechunk1
EDIT: Next I would try the only available XT1032 factory firmware image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58534609
It's retail Brazil, but will work anywhere in the world.
I suggest you skip flashing the bootloader - motoboot.img

Attached is a very blurry picture taken in poor light with my very old spare phone of the Moto G just before boot. All commands seemed OK, except for recovery.img and motoboot.img, which displayed "hab check error" in pink (not pictured).
Thanks again to all of you for your assistance in this matter.

Recovery mode ADB will work in Linux. You could try side-loading the 5.0.2 OTA Update.
I have a Moto G (XT1032) running Android 5.0.2 that went out of charge one day. It then decided to boot into a black screen - i.e. I can see the Motorola splash screen (animation) but all I get after that is a black (grey) screen, not responsive to touch.
I tried a few things and they didn't work -
Fastbooted and selected 'Recovery' option - The Motorola logo (first screen of startup splash screen) appears briefly. Then the device returns to fastboot menu saying 'Boot Up failed'
Fastbooted and selected 'Factory' - The Motorola splash screen appears, boots into same black (grey) screen again.
The fastboot menu says "Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0". I did not enable USB debugging before my phone stopped working.
How do I get my phone working again?
You do not need an unlocked Bootloader to flash one of the factory firmware images: (I suggest using only one of the 5.0.2 images)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/index-moto-g-falcon-factory-firmware-t3110795
Is there important data on the phone? Then do not use the command: mfastboot erase userdata

At this stage you should press power button for few seconds and tap vol +, it is the way to enter recovery in lollippp, correct me if I am wrong.

@Joncillo - See the last post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/moto-g-bootup-problem-recovery-mode-t3122492 - you are both in the same situation I believe.
It's a known issue; where battery is allowed to die and has resulted in Bootloader / Partition corruption.
Try what I have suggested there - if that does not solve it, you may have to wait for a working Lollipop hardbrick solution, which would allow you to repair the Bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-revive-hard-bricked-moto-g-t2833798

@Joncillo - See the last post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/moto-g-bootup-problem-recovery-mode-t3122492 - you are both in the same situation I believe.
It's a known issue; where battery is allowed to die and has resulted in Bootloader / Partition corruption.

ahhhhhhhhh... i see... so, i have a dead phone... well, i'm going to try what you said in that post, thanks for all your help!!!
Hi all,
somehow my sons' D6603 messed up and didn't boot anymore. Had an old CarbonROM installed before, but that failed for no reason I can pinpoint.
OK, to recover I tried to reflash the ROM - but boot process got stuck in boot animation for hours (until battery ran out).
OK, so I fired up flashtool and tried to install an FTF - but all FTFs I tried to retrieve failed to unpack.
OK - one more try - got me a stock ROM that was supposed to be flashed through recovery.
Now I get Sony splashscreen, then display turns black and stays like that forever. Only sign of something happening is that the notification LED blinks occasionally.
I tried to enter recovery - wouldn't work at all: never saw any change in boot process.
I can put the phone into flash mode and into fastboot - so I tried to flash a new TWRP:
Code:
[email protected] ~/temp/TWRP-z3 $ fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'FOTAKernel' (15904 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.502s]
writing 'FOTAKernel'...
OKAY [ 1.056s]
finished. total time: 1.558s
[email protected] ~/temp/TWRP-z3 $ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'recovery' (15904 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.501s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.055s]
finished. total time: 1.556s
But still the mobile won't boot into recovery
OK, there's a different TWRP available - but I can't flash it to FOTAkernel:
Code:
[email protected] ~/Downloads $ fastboot flash FOTAkernel twrp_z3_2018-03-28.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'FOTAkernel' (10808 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.342s]
writing 'FOTAkernel'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.345s
[email protected] ~/Downloads $ fastboot flash recovery twrp_z3_2018-03-28.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'recovery' (10808 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.342s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.721s]
finished. total time: 1.063s
Can anyone help me to get stuff working again? I'm lost for options right now - TWRP won't come up, and I can't get an FTF via flashtool to my harddrive. Any other ways to unbrick the phone?
Got a recent LinuxMint 19.x here as my machine right now. Getting a Windows up and running would be an obstacle (although I might get a hand to one).
Hi all,
I wanted to degoogle my Umidigi A3 Pro, and found out that there were newer versions of Android for it, the LineageOS 17.1 with Android 10.
As this was the first time I tried to do change the firmware, I went from howto to howto until the situation that I'm facing now:
- TWRP 3.2.3 ghost 45 is installed and I can run it when I chose to boot from recovery
- When I try to install the lineage-17.1-20210714-UNOFFICIAL-trebble_a64_avS.img that sits at the sdcard, TWRP show several partitions. I choose none, and when slide to install it says
'No partitions selected for flashing'.
- Booting from normal mode or fastboot mode says:
Orange mode
Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted.
Your device will boot in 5 seconds.
But it never boots. Before, it booted to a factory reset ROM, but I erased it somehow.
In fastboot mode I with I could connect from the desktop computer using adb, but it seems that adb devices never lists the phone.
So, please, what should I do?

If you chose none, then over what partition do you expect TWRP can install it? What you are trying to install is an GSI and GSI stands for Generic System Image, so you have to flash it over the system partition. But you also can do it through fastboot, and probably you get better results.

It looks like now your device doesn't have a functional system to boot to…

The code for fastboot mode is fastboot not ADB, they're different binaries.
I've already tried to install it twice to the system partition from TWRP, a blue line says that the operation was successful, but the phone didn't boot.
Yes, you're right, the phone has no functional system to boot, now.
Tried again in fastboot mode.
Had to unplug and plug again the mini-usb cable in order for the system to be able to execute the command from a Linux system:
$ fastboot flash system lineage-17.1-20210714-UNOFFICIAL-treble_a64_avS.img
$ fastboot flash system lineage-17.1-20210714-UNOFFICIAL-treble_a64_avS.img

But it doesn't boot.
I followed some howtos in order to choose the right lineageos file. Do you think the system doesn't boot because of the image being a wrong file?

Try with one by one of those methods, ended one try to boot and so on:
- Flash this vbmeta.img from there: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397918705
- Format data with fastboot -w
- Flash the boot image from the last firmware you were using, i.e. from your stock ROM.

vbmeta.img is only 4Kb. Should I install it as fastboot flash system vbmeta.img?

Yes. it is just 4 kb sized.
You can flash the vbmeta image trying with one of those codes:
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
or:
fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

I couldn't flash the vbmeta, because there's no vbmeta partition on the phone.
The fastboot -w run took a long time, don't know if it ended well or not.
I'd like to try to flash the stock image, but now the phone seems to be misbehaving.
I can choose between recovery, fastboot and normal boot, but when I select either recovery or fastboot the system goes black and seems to reboot to normal mode.
I'm trying to power the battery to 100%. Don't know what else to do.

All devices have vbmeta partition, most probably you are not targetting to the right slot, probably your device has slot A and B.
If it is, then you have to see which slot is active with fastboot getvar all then you´ll see something like (bootloader) current-slot: a (or) b, if you can´t boot to system now then you have to set the other partition as active, ie. if you are on a then set the b as active with fastboot set_active b from there you can target to the right slot again.
Check if the GSI is the right for you and double check if there are some specific GSIs for MediaTek devices, there are specially complicated.
Trebble has shown that there was only partition a.
I tried to install the LineageOS 16.0 image and... it booted fine!
Everything is working fine. Only the flash light didn't work at the first boot, but worked in the second.
Thank you very much @SubwayChamp for your help.
All the best to you!
