I need a quick answer guys..

I just helped a buddy (this never happened before) and his mytouch is rooted. He upgraded his SPL to Haykuro's and then, through fastboot, he flashed Amon_Ra's 1.2.2 recovery image. Now, we can't get it past the mytouch screen, but can get into fastboot. Any ideas?

Try flashing another rom?

If you can get into fastboot, you can send a new image to the phone.
I don't recall the exact commands, but if you're in fastboot, you're still good.

Great man...does anyone know the commands?

Fastboot the recovery image, and then from the recovery, you can flash the new rom.

the recovery image is there. We cant into to recovery to apply the rom.

Get yourself the proper recovery.img for that phone. Not sure what it is, but a quick search will find it. Search for 'mytouch recovery' or 'mt3g recovery'.
Then with the recovery image in your SDK tools folder, run:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
That should at least get you to a point where you can flash a new ROM and commit the proper recovery image to flash using adb commands.
I can't hold your hand through the whole thing, I don't have that phone, but I've been in your situation before.

Ok we tried it, now it says... FAILED(remote: partition does not exist!)

anyone have an idea?

Try to erase Cache
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
then flash recovery:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryxxxxxx***.img (***I'm not sure of the version you use...)

Yeah that's exactl what we did and it worked.
The thing is, we erased the recovvery image and reinstalled it, but now again, it won't go into recovery. I have a feeling he downloaded the wrong Amos_Ra recovery. Probably one for the 32a.

[Q] Softbricked Tf300t

Hi I have been reading a ton in the forums trying to figure out how to fix my tf300t. A few days ago I updated to the newest CM 10.1 nightly and when it restarted it was stuck at the Asus screen. So I have been able to hold vol down button and get to a screen that says
RCK Android [usb symbol] and Wipe Data
I have fastboot access and thought I would try to fix the problem myself by following instructions on another thread
"pyovue - If you have ADB access then unbricking it should be easy as you can push and edit any file on the system with it as well as fastboot? Or can ADB & Fastboot not mount (not just the sdcard) anything? If you don't care what happens to your tablet MB, then try this....
fastboot -i 0x0b05 erase system
fastboot -i 0x0b05 erase recovery
Then reboot (this should rid you of your bootloop to recovery and nothing should start)
Then download the stock ASUS Rom (from ASUS, look under Firmware)
Then try sending it with fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash system blob (you will have to extract two zips from the firmware files until you get to a file called "blob" then put it in your fastboot)
I almost guarantee if you have fastboot/adb working there is ALWAYS a way to fix it... only a hardbrick is impossible to fix.
"
I get cannot load 'blob' so I tried
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img
seeing as I already had the recovery.img from when I first unlocked, rooted, and put cm 10.1 on it
please help I have no idea what to do and thank you in advance <3

What's the question again? If you have fastboot, you can always flash the system blob from your PC. Or you can push the rom (zip) to your internal storage, turn it off and on again. If you select rck on official recovery, it should look for the zip file on its own and proceed to flash it. If you have custom recovery, get to it and flash the same zip file. Make sure you have the right recovery for the rom though. Good luck.

Bricked XT1032

So I have a cousins XT1032 I'm trying to fix. What happens is that it doesn't want to boot. After the Motorola Bootanimation it goes to a Black screen, I've read about going into Recovery and Factory Resetting or Wiping Cache and I've done it hundreds of times now and it hasn't changed a thing. I've tried flashing the Stock ROM and everything flashes correctly but when I reboot it goes to the same Black Screen after the Boot animation. I've tried putting a custom recovery (CWM, TWRP, Philz) and it flashes, but when I press Recovery on the phone after flashing, it boots into the Stock Dead android recovery. I'm not sure what else to do. So any help would be great, thanks.

Hmm, so I found something weird... So I said that I had factory reset man times, using Fastboot and Android Recovery, well today I was trying to convert it to a GPE to see if it would work and it didn't. It still did the same thing (black screen after bootanimation) So I tried to Sideload a ROM through Android Recovery and it aborted the installation so I pressed on the android recovery. "Update from SD Card" or something like that and I saw that my cousins old files were still there, they haven't been erased...So I'm starting to think that this is a defect...
But anyways, If anyone knows the solution I would really appreciate it!

No one? :/

If your cousins files are still there then you can get them onto your computer, if you have cwm or twrp use adb sideload to transfer the contents on to your computer directly. Then you can try whatever you want knowing that the files are back since im guessing thats the most important.
1st: Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269#post42407269 ??? Install this
2nd: Put phone in recovery either into cwm or twrp, then open up minimal adb
3rd: Use this command to pull your files into your computer, these will be located in you hdd where you go into program files and etc, basically the root of your computers hdd at C:\
Command = adb pull /sdcard/ c:\
Hopefully this helps you, good luck, mate.

Thanks for trying to help man, but like I said if I try to flash anything like a Recovery or anything else it shows that it flashes correctly but when I try to get into recovery it just boots into the dead android recovery one

When you flash the recovery do you get an error like some mb error? Try to flash this recovery, it worked for me, i had a similar problem because i flashed android l and the bootloader was different so you need a compatible recovery, i downloaded one today, i need to find link, stay online

Im sure it should work, i had the same error i believe, lol, today i tried changing my dalvik size in build.prop and my phone wasnt booting so i tried flashing recovery and i had the error you was having, then i used these adb commands, i guess i messed my phone up so i can help you in a couple hours later on, lol, coincidences! xD Did it work for you?

Just flashed the recovery you linked to. And nope, didn't do anything. I still boot up to the Dead Android guy recovery. Hmm I'm starting to think that this is a Hardware Defect

Since you flashed GPE, try doing this, flash back Motorola stock without doing the erase commands and then try flashing this recovery.

This is something i found on a thread --- You have to enter recovery straight after you flash it, or the old one will replace it,when you exit the new recovery there will be an option to disable the old recovery.

Yea I know about that entering recovery right after flashing and I've done that every time. It never has worked. Hmm something is wrong with this phone. I've factory resetted the phone at least 10 times using the Recovery and another 10 times using Fastboot and the files are still there. I think that it's definitely is a Hardware problem :/ dang

I do not know if this will work but it is a wild guess, i had a htc sensation and i was able to use adb commands at the start of boot even when it didnt boot up, so what i am trying to say is boot up your phone and then plug in your usb cable and then try the adb pull command i gave you earlier, im sure this wont work but give it a shot.

It probably would work If the phone had USB Debugging on before it got bricked :/ I'm about to give up on this phone. I've tried everything lol.
I'm thinking that the Partitions are corrupted since none of them will format using fastboot. It just says it cant format Raw type partitions or something like that

You have not done ALL of the necessary fastboot commands when flashing the firmware image. Make sure you have an XT1032 4.4.4 image.
Do the following manually, report any errors. Use no other fastboot commands other than those stated below.
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 (CHANGE TO MATCH ACTUAL FILE IN FOLDER)
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2 (CHANGE TO MATCH ACTUAL FILE IN FOLDER)
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3 (CHANGE TO MATCH ACTUAL FILE IN FOLDER)
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​

Stuck at "Launching flashstock.bat"

So I had an old Nexus 5 running a custom KK rom. I tried getting it back to stock using Wugs Toolkit. I've been playing with it for hours trying to get it to work. I ended up making it worse and it gets stuck on Google Logo now. I tried using the revert to stock option on the toolkit. It looks like everything is working.. Here is the log..
Connectivity Status: Fastboot Device Connected
+ Confirmed: Bootloader Unlocked.
fastboot getvar product
product: hammerhead
finished. total time: 0.001s
Launching flashstock.bat
and then it just stops.. I tried downloaded two seperate .tgz images from Google. They both do the same thing. It doesn't go out of the bootloader screen or anything. It writes the radios and that's about it.

This is a *very* high-level suggestion - there are many tutorials that take you through drivers/ADB, etc. I just want to give you the script I followed for the manual procedure, which turned out to be extremely quick and simple.
After suggesting Wugfresh's NRT to several people in these forums (I'm a very big fan) I decided to refresh my Nexus 6 with the latest image and make it unencrypted - a problem that doesn't exist on the N5. I wasn't sure that NRT would do this for me, since the script automatically restarts the device and I wanted to be sure that it didn't start before I had flashed a modified no-encrypt boot image, since it would just encrypt itself again. So I downloaded the factory image, a no-encrypt boot image (thanks, doitright ) and TWRP - naturally being very careful to get the right ones. I unzipped the TGZ and the image files down to their final *.img components. To make things simple I renamed the various images to one-word names (e.g. radio.img). I put all of them in the same directory as ADB & fastboot.
Since all Nexus devices are updated the same, this should also work for you. Since you've used NRT I'm guessing that you have the PC drivers already installed. You'll also need ADB/Fastboot. Switch on USB debugging, connect the N5 to your PC, and in a CMD window type these commands:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot -w flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot reboot
Some of these may be overkill (I believe the -w wipe command erases userdata anyway), but it worked for me.
I would say take a TWRP image first as well so that you can recover, but it sounds as if you have nothing to recover anyway.
If the more expert member want to suggest amendments to the script, I won't be insulted...

USB debugging means nothing if you're trying to use fastboot.

Hey, sure, I didn't mean to "attack" you. I noticed that you wanted to help. Really. Thanked you for that.

No worries, beekay. Posts don't allways mean what they look like, which is why we have smilies.
And I did read the articles. I tried with my N6 to attach it in bootloader mode with no USB debugging, and you're absolutely right. I suppose I just read "Remember to switch on USB debugging" so often that I assumed it was needed for any sort of work. Thanks for the tip. It's things like this that encourage all of us to try new things - like flashing a ROM manually instead of with NRT...

This problem occurred to me when I updated Wugfresh NRT to 2.0.6.
So I return back to 2.0.5 and this problem solved.
Try using NRT 2.0.5 to see if the problem solved or not

I kinda wiped away my phone's OS and I'm not sure how to fix it, help?

Hi, so I was messing with the recovery mode on my phone when trying to install a new rom and somehow ended up wiping the os. I actually managed to install the rom, but I don't know what possessed me to start tapping random buttons and that's how it got messed up. Now my phone is stuck in fastboot mode and I don't know how to get it back to normal. Any advice on how would be a great help, thanks in advance.

Fastboot flash recovery, then try using adb commands to boot into recovery and flash your ROM again. Or, try extracting the system.img from your ROM, place the system.img(rename the file to system.img if it is labeled by another name) in your fastboot folder on PC, open a terminal and flash the system.img via fastboot using the following command:
fastboot flash system system.img
