Hello,
first... sorry for my bad English.
Since yesterday my Acer A510 doesnt boot. (I have done Nothing. I used the Stock ROM)
Cannot boot into the Bootloader. The Device only enter into Fastboot.
I want to try flash CWM-Recovery, but i cant unlock the Bootloader.
"
C:\fastboot> fastboot oem unlock
...
FAILED <remote: <Unknown error code >>
finished. total time: 2.166 sec
"
Cant install any Image or update.zip, because the device says "Bootloader is locked"
Can anyone help me?
Hi Guys,
Hope to get some help here.
So i unlocked the bootloader of my one plus one and installed supersu + Twrp recovery. All worked fine until i decided to relock the bootloader.
I've put the device into fastboot mode and executed "fastboot oem lock" with twrp recovery still in there.
Now i am trying to unlock the bootloader again using "fastboot oem unlock" to be able to flash the stock recovery and having issues.
output of commands:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem unlock
...
OKAY [ 0.004s]
finished. total time: 0.005s
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>
After this it boots straight to twrp recovery. I then hit reboot system and go back to fastboot mode and run the below:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery
.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (12260 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.389s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Device not unlocked cannot flash or erase)
finished. total time: 0.404s
Anyone has an idea how i can unlock the bootloader again ?
Thanks
Vik
Would it let you reflash the stock factory image thru fastboot? Maybe if you could do that it would let you unlock again. And it would give you stock recovery.
Or else what about the option in developer settings to update the stock cm recovery when installing an update. Maybe you could install an official update thru TWRP and get stock recovery back?
Just throwing out ideas, hope you figure it out
I've documented ths same issue describe here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/locked-bootloader-twr-rooted-t2820341

Hi YrrchSebor,
Thanks for the reply.. I already tried all that, even using adb sideload and keep getting same error as mentioned above. I'll try the solution lemonspeakers suggested later today and post the outcome.

Be careful if you updated your phone to XNPH30O OTA,
!!! Warning !!!
In the NEW OTA CM11S XNPH30O, the bootloader (aboot) img size changed....
We request all not to apply the unlocker scripts on the new bootloader , until we confirm/find the new bit position.
It might brick your phone and corrupt bootloader...

It won't work.. do not try it if you updated to XNPH30O using the OTA.

I ran this command:
Code:
fastboot.exe boot TWRP-2.7.1.0.img
But the next step does not work:
Code:
It will boot your phone into recovery once from the recovery image
stored in your PC temporarily
then you can flash the zip either by sideload or from sdcard...
I got:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.484s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Device not unlocked cannot boot)

That's because you can't boot a recovery with the recent bootloader unless you're unlocked.

Hello!
I have a small problem. A week ago died my phone when i unlocked the lockscreen one evening. Thought that the battery was empty, i put it on the charger and started up the phone a few hours later and the only thing that happens is that Google logo is displayed, then it starts over again. I can go into recovery and fastboot, but it does not matter what i do there. Managed to get it to be connected as a USB drive so I got out the pictures from it. But if you make a complete factory reset including data and restarts there everything left! Tried to run "fastboot format cashe" but it only return "FAILED (remote: flash write failure) "
The phone is rooted and bootloader is unlocked, i had a custom rom installed, and it had worked since beginning of summer.
Have you already tried to reflash stock rom with fastboot? Maybe that will help to get your partitions working properly...
i followed a guide on androidrootz dot com, "how-to-unroot-nexus-5-complete-stock" but directly when i try to flash bootloader i get a error message.
Does the bootloader remain unlocked? What error are you getting when flashing stock?

Yes! It remains unlocked! Heres the "print screen"

unknown partition 'bootloader-hammerhead-HHZ11d.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'bootloader-hammerhead-HHZ11d.img'
You could try Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit and get it back to working. If you can get to fastboot screen, then it can get you up and running again.
You'll have to google it, for some reason I got set back to a new user, even though I've been posting on this forum for quite awhile.

Looks like the onboard memory chip is damaged or has failed.
My N5's bootloader would always relock on reboot so I could never flash a stock ROM.
i don't think you have unlocked bootloader , maybe there is some errors try with "fastboot oem unlock" and then try to flash everything

what if you try "fastboot oem lock" and then again unlock it maybe will work
and @audit13 to get chip damaged? i'm not saying that is not possible but it's only few percent
oh and can you enter in recovery mode? if as you said yes firstly try to flash this http://d-h.st/VcCv
I don't know how it got damaged. One day, ti started bootlooping and the bootloader had re-locked on its own even though I unlocked it straight out of the box. I booted into fastboot, unlocked the bootloader, and it only too a few seconds to erase everything. I immediately rebooted in fastboot and the bootloader was locked again. This unlock/relock happened over and over.
I booted into recovery and tried a factory reset but recovery could not mount cache or data to perform the erase.
My phone just kept getting stuck at the Google logo or bootlooping.

PERFECT!?!? But when i reboot its still unlocked.... if i do first lock, then unlock without rebooting, i get a new meny on the phone where i have to chose if i want to unlock my device. and if i chose yes it will reboot and its the same again....
How do i download that file??? I just got an EXE file, and i dont want to run that!
If it's not sticking on a reboot, that means the memory is most likely gone bad. I guess you could try using the diagnostic tool, which would confirm if the memory is bad.

maybe it's just corupted bootloader @kardanmannen go to http://d-h.st/VcCv and press download now you should get .zip file which you can flash in recovery using adb sideload

after flashing it can take up to 15 mins to turn on because of first boot
@kardanmannen any news?
I'm getting more and more sure that the memorymodule is faulty in the phone. If you reboot in Recovery and select filemanager, for example you remove a directory with files, if you restart the phone, the directory is there again! And when you start it up in recovery and connect it to the computer, theres a few directorys you can write/delete/. Similarly, if you run "fastboot oem lock" and reboot it, its locked the first time it is started up and then the second time it is unlocked again.
Lost hope a little there and went off and ordered a Nexus 6P, hoping it will arrive on Wednesday.
So hello! I need some help here. A friend of a friend gave me this oneplus one for repair and at first it seemed easy cause i thought oh it's only a softbrick. There is a bootloop and I can access the original recovery and Fastboot. Now when I followed the unbricking guides I could not clean install CM12S because appereantly the bootloader is not unlocked but do I need to have an unlocked bootloader to install a clean signed version of CM12S?
I am trying to solve the issue with bacon root toolkit 1.0.3. I put the OPO into fastboot mode and click on "back to stock", select a signed fastboot version cm12.1s and my device is detected as a fastboot device. But now i get these weird error codes in command prompt
" FAILED (remote: Device not unlocked cannot flash or erase)" and then just another bootloop.
So I tried to unlock the bootloader with the command "fastboot oem unlock" and it does something but then when i check it with "fastboot oem device-info" it displays
"(bootloader) Device tampered: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.007s]
finished. total time: 0.008s"
hmmm.. so it does not unlock the bootloader but what does device tampered mean?
How do i unlock the bootloader and ultimately unbrick this device?
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi
Trying to help.
Your device might be tampered as the "fastboot oem device-info" result shows.
Follow the steps and see if it helps (all commands below are to be entered without quotes)
1. Download latest cm13 nightly or the cm12.1-snapshot and extract the "boot.img" from it.
2. Connect the phone in fastboot mode and check connection by "fastboot devices."
3. Enter the command "fastboot flash recovery boot.img" (the one extracted above).
4. Then enter "fastboot format cache".
5. After the boot.img is flashed, enter "fastboot reboot" to reboot the phone and the let the phone boot fully to homescreen. If stuck on bootscreen( i assume rom is not tampered with) try entering stock recovery and clear cache and dalvik-cache.
6. Now again enter bootloader by reboot or using combo and check connection by "fastboot devices".
7. Now enter "fastboot oem unlock".
8. Now check "fastboot oem device-info".
It should be unlocked like:
(bootloader) Device tampered: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
Please do reply if it helped.

Thanks for the reply! I tried the steps but sadly it did not work.
I downloaded cm13, extracted it to my fastboot.exe folder and did enter the commands.
"c:\unlock>fastboot devices
9c50d771 fastboot"
So my device does show up which means drivers are properly installed aren't they?
"c:\unlock>fastboot flash recovery boot.img

There is the error message again, I can't flash the stock recovery becaue the bootloader is not unlocked I think but I don't know what else to do.
then:
"c:\unlock>fastboot format cache

I have looked into that but how do I flash it?
I tried the commands "fastboot boot -image file-" but it says i cant do that cause once again the bootloader is locked
then there is "fastboot boot recovery -image file-" but then it says " cant find directory" or something like that..
could you please give me step by stepe instruction how you solved the issue?
I am getting very frustrated here.. beginning to think it's unsolveable.
sadly i can't boot into a custom recovery :C

You flash this zip in a custom recovery like any other mod. Luckily for me I still had my twrp installed so I managed to do it, but you should be able to temporarily boot from it. Is your custom recovery image in the active directory?

I tried that too.. Spoiler.. it did not work.
The drivers seem to work. I have my windows 10 set to testmode. The OPO is recognized by the Msm8974DownloadTool,, when I click on "start" the bar moves to 3/4 of the bar but then something happens and I get a "sahara" message". I tried it maybe over 10 times now. Sometimes it shows me the message immediately. Sometimes the green bar gets to 1/4 of the bar and then the "sahara" message. But sometimes the bar gets to 4/4 one time and then it says "(somethinsomething)usb(somethingsomething in chinese i guess)" and thats it. Only bootloop as a result. Maaaaan this is getting annoying.
I think where something might have gone wrong was trying to use a toolkit. Try this:
Download latest fastboot images from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/official-cm11s-roms-ota-updates-t2906746
Then go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guides-bacon-timmaaas-how-to-guides-t2839471
Scroll down to #8 and follow the instructions to flash all of the images using fastboot. Hopefully, you will be able to boot the phone after that. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply and trying to help! but as I stated in the title my bootloader is LOCKED so i can't write anything to it. The guide of Heisenberg states clearly "Prerequisites: unlocked bootloader." so I knew it would not work but I tried it anyway.. sadly it did not work.. this is what it's giving me:

funny thing is, it's "only" a softbrick but behaves like a hardbrick. I can't do anything and I don't know what to do at this point.

I tried it on a virtual XP machine but i can't get to mount the OPO, i get this error message.. now the first sentence is german and its says " the usb device Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM QHSUSB__BULK could not be mounted on the virtual mashine windows xp."
"Das USB-Gerät Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM QHSUSB__BULK konnte nicht an die virtuelle Maschine windows xp gebunden werden.
USB device 'Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM QHSUSB__BULK' with UUID {cdedf1ad-9235-40ef-80cf-efc72ba7678c} is busy with a previous request. Please try again later."
I don't even know if it's worth the effort trying to find a XP system and try it.. my hopes that it would work are very low at this point.. please let me know if you know a solution to this nightmare.

When you do a fastboot oem unlock does it reboot you back into recovery?
I used HighOnAndroid's guide to unlock bootloader, flash a custom recovery, and root.

Why don't you flash firmware in unlocked bootloader, if possible ( please refer in the forum, as i think there's a way to flash firmware and then you can unlock bootloader )
Go to an independent repair shop. They have the equipment to flash on the motherboard.
Hello,
I think my XT1541 (16GB/2GB Retail GB) with locked bootloader might be hard-bricked.
I was running the stock 5.11 firmware when I did the 6.0 update and since then my phone is stuck in a bootloop.
Motorola won't repair it because I had to replace the screen and the phone is out of warranty.
I can access the bootloader but if I select recovery mode the phone just keeps bootlooping and I can't get into recovery.
I followed the instructions here to flash a stock firmware using fastboot. All the steps complete successfully but after rebooting, the phone is still stuck in a bootloop and I can't get into recovery.
I wanted to install a custom recovery but I'm unable to unlock my bootloader because of this error:
Code:
(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.
FAILED (remote failure)
Obviously I can't check that option as the phone won't boot.
So, is it hard bricked? Is there anything I can do to get my phone to work again?
Thanks a lot for your help!
How many system images do you need to flash? Sometimes there can be more than 6, sometimes there can be fewer.

I know, I flashed the correct number of system images that were in the zip file.
Thanks,

If u are bootlooping when trying to enter recovery , then prolly the recovery is the issue. I'd suggest flash the recovery.IMG again and then proceed with flashing the rest of the .IMG files.

So basically:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
and then check if I can access recovery? Or issue that command and then all the other fastboot commands in the guide?

I tried that and it didn't work. When I try to go into recovery mode the phone keeps bootlooping.
One thing I noticed is that when I try to format cache or userdata I get this error:
Code:
$ fastboot format cache
formatting 'cache' partition...
Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw'.
FAILED ()
finished. total time: 0.013s
I think there might be something wrong with the file system in my partitions. How can I manually format my partitions?
Thanks,
man , if you really need recovery, type fastboot boot recovery.img . It will temporaily boot you into stock recovery. Wipe cache and data there

Thanks, but this is what I get when I try do do that:
Code:
$ fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.736s]
booting...
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.746s
There must be a way to restore this phone to a working state! I can't believe it's so messed up after an official update...

I was running 5.1.1 when I got the notification for the 6.0 update.
I've noticed that trying to flash 5.1.1 firmware with fastboot gives me errors (preflash validation failed) while the 6.0 work "fine" (i.e.: I get OKAY after every step but then the phone is always stuck in a bootloop).
Thanks!
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DOWNGRADE BOOTLOADER.IMG OR GPT.IMG !!!!!!! DONT FLASH LOLLIPOP VERSION OF THOSE FILES ON A DEVICE RUNNING 6.0
plz tell me u didnt flash those files..

Well I wasn't sure what version I was running to be honest so I think I tried to flash the gpt.img from 5.1.1 at some point but it failed with the preflash validation failure. I've always only flashed the 6.0 firmware files.

Yes, no luck unfortunately.
I think I might have flashed the 5.1.1 bootloader after all - is there any way to recover from there?
Thanks,
Bump!
Does anyone have any other suggestion please?
Thanks,
Last bump
I'm going to sell this on eBay as non-working then unless someone comes up with a clever solution?
Thanks for your help!
Try flashing once more starting with the gpt.bin (that should hopefully take care of raw partition error) and skipping the bootloader altogether. Also, may be worthwhile to try mfastboot.exe instead of fastboot.exe.
I have this same issue, but I haven't flash 5.1.1 Files, I Only tried with 6.0 Brazil Retail.
I also tried to flash gpt to get rid of the "raw" partition, everything goes ok but still displaying that error. Anyone can help?
I got the same problem with my Moto E 2015... If I find a solution I will reply it in this topic..
