Tried to update to CM 11 / 4.4 KitKat and got "unrecoverable bootloader error"

Tried to update to CM 11 / 4.4 KitKat and got "unrecoverable bootloader error"
So I messed up big time. Trying to update to the new unofficial 4.4 OmniRom and had to update TWRP from 2.5.0.0 to the latest 2.6.3.1 in order to flash the new 4.4 ROM but it kept giving me an 'set_metadata_recursive'. So I used the version provided and then used Flashify app on Google play (mistake) to flash it (it said that it installed successfully). Then when I reseted to recovery it got corrupted. So I thought I installed at the wrong place and installed as a zip, recovery and IMG. (Bigger mistake). Now it won't load at all on any OS and boot loader and recovery are corrupted.
Can some one help me? Please o)v_v)o

Sorry, but after reading your post 4 times I still have no idea what you actually did.....
If you still have access in ADB (since you can't access the bootloader??) the link LMK gave you may save your bacon.
If you don't have any kind of access: ADB or fastboot and you do not have nvFlash blobs - sorry, you bricked.

Can I access fastboot when I get the menu at RCK / Android / Wipe? Because if I click con any of these its says that bootloader is corrupted.
What's the Command to fix TWRP using a computer / or other Android device?

I think this may be different. Clearing the misc partition solved the problem of force booting into recovery.
Here he can't get into recovery... Not looking good.....

I think that his/her bootloader is still partly function because the fastboot is running.. I don't want to give any advice unless I know for sure that it works. If someone have a better knowledge on the bootloader and recovery, it can be up and running again, I hope...

Hey guys thank you for your help. I had learned that I encountered a softbrick. I got my tabby fix reading ]Unrecoverable bootloader error(0x00000000) Which led me to Softbrick - possible solution for you
Followed these steps...

My solution
I have the same on my TF300t and A700 - but it seems i just managed to get my TF300t back
i tried all fastboot (reflashing recovery, boot, system etc) no dice - especially since writing system was done after 3 secs all the time.
Here how i restored my TF300T JB
download your appropriate lates firmware from Asus (WW, US etc.) and extract the zip twice so you have your blob file
install your device drivers if needed (i used Google SDK ones) (and as a Tip Win8 sucks for Fastboot stuff so try to get Win7 Vista XP for this)
Reset your device with a paperclip/needle (about 2 cm down of your sdcard slot) and hold vol-down to enter fastboot
(the folowing i did at least 10 times already but didn't erase misc)
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase cache
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system c:\adb\TF300t\blob (this is my path - your's may vary depending where you stored your blob) ((also this was the first time i saw the loading bar while flashing)*
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
* it also took a lot longer, as it should:
C:\>fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system c:\adb\TF300t\blob

Although I admit I had to these steps several times as it initially wouldn't somehow it wiped out that error. After I had fix that bootloader error I used fastboot and installed TWRP 2.6.3.1 and now life can continue.
I also followed steps right on getting CM11 to work by using CWM Touch this time to install and it looks jelly. ?! Love these 4.4 KitKat emoticons, thanks again for your help and interest in me ?

flash the partition file with "Mfastboot", then re-flash the stock file with only the partition, tz, and getvar(you may not have this) removed.

Fastboot "Command not Allowed"

Hi!
I am trying to flash my Xperia L which is already rooted.
I got my "unlock bootloader key" and not when I try to unlock it with the key it says-
FAILED <Command did not succeed.>
Second time try the same statement again and it says OK!
After that when I try to flash a recovery it says-

I will be thankful to any help!

I guess that may be the problem because everything was working fine. Until I had to flash a custom recovery like Philz through fastboot.
I didn't know the command so I searched for a general one. I used "fastboot flash recovery recovery.zip".
But there is one other thing that when I tried to install Thunderzap Kernel through Flashtool my phone even stopped showing SONY splash screen and just vibrated trying to boot!
Please tell me the correct procedure to flash custom recovery through fastboot in Xperia Phone.

As far as I know there are 2 recovery that can be flashed to FOTAKernel partition.
TWRP compiled by rohan.purohit and Phil ported by sdt.
The only method to flash FOTAKernel (recovery) is via adb shell or terminal emulator.
See TWRP thread at Original Dev section

just flash thunderzap 4.14 and cm12. extract boot.img from tz zip and go into fastboot mode on your device than simply flash extracted boot img with flashboot

your command is just wrong... even if you flash recovery you have to flash it as kernel in xperia devices
fastboot flash boot boot.img
is the correct command eg:

I tried with fastboot boot cheryl-P-Magisk-twrp-boot.img and nothing happened.
I'll try properly flashing the image when I have the time to make a backup.
Anyone has been able to backup the clean Pie boot.img ?
EDIT: Tried flashing the boot image and it bootloops. Maybe device encription has to be disabled for twrp to work?

thank you so much for this
I worked after I flashed my phone to 7.1.1 and updated to 9 but when I did it again and after updated did a wipe(just going into the setting and wiping) I couldn't flash part b of the boot just got an error
:tools root# ./fastboot flash boot_a cheryl-P-Magisk-twrp-boot.img
Sending 'boot_a' (26840 KB) OKAY [ 0.840s]
Writing 'boot_a' OKAY [ 3.657s]
Finished. Total time: 4.503s
:tools root# ./fastboot flash boot_B cheryl-P-Magisk-twrp-boot.img
Sending 'boot_B' (26840 KB) OKAY [ 0.659s]
Writing 'boot_B' FAILED (remote: 'No such partition.')
fastboot: error: Command failed
(EDIT: I'm retarded didn't notice the uppercase B but it seem they really didn't care of Gen1)

If you can't get into the system, you can go in twrp to restore factory settings and then restart, you can enter the system

My guy only Razer 1 has 7.1.1 I just seen this after I reset after updating to pie everything I fine thank or care doe

I made the mistake of trying to get into recovery after this update using the Volume + plug in USB-C. (Update removed root/Magisk of course). It then wiped my entire device!!! No warning. No recovery screen. Just a message saying wiping device.
I immediately wiped it to put Lineage on it.

You need to make a copy of the flash all batch file and edit it and take out the line that reads "erase userdata" save the file. What this will do is make the factory image skip factory reset if you want to keep your files but wanna restore to fix or whatever.

So i flashed this and i also even tried flashing twrp and magisk like normal but after i would boot, most apps would not load. Im currently reverted to 8 to figure this out. If you could help me figure out what is wrong, would be appreciated.

But fyi, the razer phone has two parts to the bootloader. One is unlocked with
"Fastboot flashing unlock"
And the other is
"Fastboot flashing unlock_critical" i believe

Please can someone else confirm this please before I go ahead as I don't want to risk it?

Yes you need to unlock both and each command will also do a factory reset so backup anything you may need on the internal storage.

This is working great for me. Thanks
