After restoring nvflash the device shows up in fastboot but labeled as ?. The system recognizes it and interacts with it though. Everything else goes well until flashing the boot.blob (9.4.5.30). The file uploads like it is supposed to but when it goes to install I get the red text on the screen saying "signature mismatch" or "failed to process command flash: system error(0x170003)." Tried with all tf700 us updates with the same result. I am doing this from a windows 7 machine and all my drivers are up to date. Any thoughts or ideas?

?? A bad ROM flash is usually easily recoverable using the recovery, as it does not touch your bootloader. How did you manage to break fastboot and your recovery with a bad ROM flash?

Try it under Linux - there were several reports about problems with nvflash under Windows.

Make sure that you open your CMD window as administrator... There is a hole about 2 cm below the sd card slot. I have heard some people needing to push this... Here is what they are doing seems some have to do this and some dont... Dont know if it will help any worth a shot...
Reset your device with a paperclip/needle (about 2 cm down from your sdcard slot) and hold vol-down to enter fastboot
If thats not it than... Im going to have to go with _that... Linux is what you need for your next step!!!!!! Let me know and as always thx lj

Sorry for the delay. I am having to learn how to dual boot linux and windows and learning how the system works. I will say this is wicked fast compared to windows 7. If this is successful I may consider converting. But I digress. I will give it a shot and let you know how it worked out. I will also try the reset switch. And once again thanks for all the info. You guys are awesome.

So I got Ubuntu up and running and I have the adb and fastboot drivers installed. I also dl'ed the linux wheelie and nvflash files. The computer can see my device when I run fastboot devices command but it won't run wheelie from the directory I created for it. Where do I put my files so the terminal can run them?

Linux does not run programs in your current directory by default, for security reasons. To run wheelie from your current directory, type "./wheelie".

I think it's either replacement or service time. I got everything running on ubuntu finally and I get the same bunk about the file system not being recognised. Maybe the internal card is bad or something. I tried reformatting the internal card with flatline and it completes but it doesn't change anything. Unless there is a way to format it with ubuntu. Problem is it does not show as a device. Regardless, thank you all for your help and I learned a lot more than I expected to through this process. Definitely a win in my book.
Edit: You sir/madame are a god/goddess. For once my stubborness is a good thing. It took a few trys and I had to assemble the tools from a few different sources other than the obvious but I am back in business. Turns out the nvflash from androidroot.mobi is not compatible for me. But the developer version from nvidia sure is. Had to install adb/fastboot from lifehacker. Am now looking at ICS start screen and it is beautiful. A million thanks you are owed and you have earned every one.

Great!!

Hi Chazzfazzle,
I have exactly the same problem you've had.
I'm stuck at "Failed to process command flash:system error(0x170003)"
Could you please explain me what you did to fix it?

How are you installing fastboot??
What Linux are you running??

I've downloaded the sdk from the Android website
dl.google.com/android/adt/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20131030.zip
I've tried with the fastboot package in the saucy universe repository too : android-tools-fastboot

I'm running Ubuntu gnome 13.10

An additional question :
I've generated the blobs and the bricksafe.img when the tablet was still on ICS.
After that, I've updated it to JB and so to a version 10.6.1.14.x of the bootloader.
Could it be the cause of my problems with nvflash/fastboot ?

No, that should not affect fastboot... I am digging for more info about your issue, I have some solid leads, just need a little more time, have not forgot about you... as always thx lj

My problem ended up being the nvflash distro from androidroot.mobi. I don't know if it is broken or just incompatible with my system. I ended up finding a working (worked for me anyway) version from nvidia directly. It's part of the Linux Developer Kit.
Get it here: https://developer.nvidia.com/linux-tegra
Make sure you only, and I can't stress this enough, make doubly sure you only get the Cardhu Driver Pack. NvFlash is located in the bootloader folder of the archive. I replaced androidroot.mobi's version with this and the rest is history. Hope this helps.
Also I did this on Ubuntu 12.04.3. I see you are on the latest release. I seriuosly doubt that makes any difference but, the more you know...

Unfortunately that didn't solve my problem.
I'm still stuck with fastboot not recognizing my tf700t.
Code:
$ sudo ./fastboot devices
???????????? fastboot
I'm open to any suggestion.

Nexus 5 Stuck In BootLoop After Replacing Power Button

Nexus 5 rebooting loop with dead Recovery mode ! any help ?
Welcome Dears
Before 1 week ago, my nexus 5 went into rebooting loop, it was a hardware issue, and after I replace the power button
still the phone rebooting on Google logo every second, when I connect it to the charger, its charging without problem until get a full charged battery, so I think it is not a battery issue, and I can enter the fastboot mode without rebooting, so I think its not a hardware issue now, it was and its goes out !
the problem also when I enter the recovery mode , "No Command" with android logo appears, then I press the Volume Up button then I get the recovery mode command, but unfortunately my PC can't see the phone, so I can't use the "adb sideload" command to flash my MIUI ROM (Version: 5.8.6) again
Code:
adb sideload MIUI.zip
error: device not found
but in the fastboot my PC can connect with Nexus, so I try to flash the CWM/TWRP recovery , I got these replay from the command,
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery hammerhead-cwm-6.0.4.4-unofficial.img
< waiting for device >
sending 'recovery' (10498 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.453s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.847s]
finished. total time: 1.302s
C:\adb>
but unfortunately when I repeat my nexus to recovery mode I didn't get the new flashed recovery ! still stuck on the dead old one !
when I use from recovery mode the "wipe data/factory reset" I got these three line then flashing on "no command" dead recovery logo
Code:
--wiping data. . .
Formatting/data. . .
Formatting/cache . . .
then go into "no command" dead recovery logo flashing until I force it shutdown by power button !
same result by "wipe cache partition" command
my Next step to flash the factory image by fastbood command but this solution will remove all files & pictures & Videos & my notes isn't it ?!
so if that is right ? do you have any other solution to run up my nexus and avoiding these rebooting loop or flash new recovery / custom ROM without loosing my data ?! " I am not afraid of loos any Apps and data of them" I need my sound files, videos, pictures and notes.
Pictures below for more clarify the issue !
I get "No Command" when I enter the Recovery mode, until I press the Volume Up

Thank you.

try this (maybe you just missed the second command - afaik without the bootloader reboot the flashed recovery won't stick):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and then try to reboot into recovery on your phone
if this doesn't work:
just download stock image, unpack it, open the flash-all.xxx (bat for windows / sh for linux) and remove the "-w" from the last line.
(this will prevent the script from wiping all of your data.)
then just execute the script.
afterwards you can flash the recovery (see above - and don't forget the reboot-bootloader thingy ^^).
and in custom recovery you can install your zips (custom rom and supersu).

Hi b666m
Thank you for your support & teach me new info & steps
I tried your first idea with the two commands, but unfortunately still the recovery stuck on the old one, I tried with three files of recovery image !
I will try your 2th solution but I have to ask you again and double check if I got it correctly to avoid any missing of my important files & Pictures.
as my OS Windows, you mean I have to open "Flash-all.bat" file and delete the "-W" from the flashing command
"fastboot -w update image-hammerhead-ktu84p.zip"
picture bellow for more clear
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
is it like that ? and that will not delete my files after I double click the flash-all.bat file ?
Thank you again for your support. :good:

The last command which contained "-w"
Code:
"fastboot update image-hammerhead-ktu84p.zip"
will flash the "image-hammerhead-ktu84p.zip" file ,
which is already has a "userdata.img" file inside it , I think this is will formatting the userdata also and write new data isn't it ?
as that is mentioned in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
Code:
fastboot flash userdata C:\image-hammerhead-krt16m\userdata.img
(Note: this command will wipe your device (including \sdcard), EVEN if your bootloader is already unlocked.)
is that right ?

Yes that is right. Not to change tactics here... But one use twrp recovery because support for cwm ended over a year ago. If you after going to flash factory images I would unzip and flash them all individually except for the userdata.img which would wipe your sd.

Follow method two in the how to flash factory images thread you linked. What was suggested before was to open and edit the flash-all.bat script by removing the -w in the script which would wipe. The flash-all has given people issues in the past and by doing each one individually you can see them succeed individually.

The best way to solve your problem . it will 100% work I can assure you . download nexus root tool kit on you PC and once downloaded install and then open the application then .. Put your nexus 5 into bootloader if possible and connect the phone to you PC with the OEM USB cable . in the application on the PC you will see unroot and below that an option (soft brick ) chose that and press unroot follow the step and your phone will be fine . I hope I will get a positive feedback from you . enjoying using your nexus 5

Dear @jwhyte : Thank you very much for your support and clarify the issue of flashing the userdata.img , I will go with your idea to flash every file individually except the userdata.img file.
Dear @adarshdeep : thank you very much for you support, the nexus root tool kit App was very great, and the "flsh stuck + unroot" with "soft brick" has an a good choosing with "No Wipe Data", but unfortunately my Nexus still in Bootloop after I applied this good idea,
The nexus tool kit succeed to flash the
bootloader, radio, recovery, system and I leaved the Nexus for 30 minutes after I read these info but still same issue
Code:
Booting up your freshly flashed stock device...
------------------------------------------------------------------
Wait for your device to finish booting up...
- It may appear to be boot looping; just wait...
- It could take 5-10 minutes; please be patient...
When its finally booted back up, please remember
to re-enable USB debugging if you plan on using
the toolkit to perform other operations.
any advice please ?

The new update of my trials also:
I got a connection between my Nexus and My Work PC by ADB sideload mode,
and I applied this command to flash the ROM:
Code:
adb sideload Rom.zip
and the adb uploaded reach the 100%
and the Nexus 5 start to flashing the ROM, but it didn't complete and this is the output messages on the nexus screen:
Code:
Now send the package you want to apply
to the device with "adb sideload <filename>" ...
Restarting adbd ...

E:Error in /tmp/update.zip

what is the symlinks failed and (Status 7 Error) ? there is any solution for this error message ?
Thank you for support to recover my Nexus and files, I have tried for one week now, and I am sure I will get the solution with your support :highfive:

You should now see an android on its back with an exclamation point.
This is the 'Pre-screen' to stock android recovery. It requires a button
combination to bring up the menu:
1. While holding down Power, press Volume Up
2. Using the volume buttons highlight 'wipe cache partition'
3. Use the power button to select it.'
4. Wait while it formats 'cache'....
4. Select 'reboot system now'
Press any key to cotinue...
any help to understand why the flashing of bootloader + radio + system were failed ?!

@M_Nexus5. Out of curiosity what happens if you try locking your bootloader in fastboot and rebooting? Does the bootloader stay locked?
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem device-info
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app

Dear @jd1639 : thank you very much for your support, I will try your idea and submit the result here, but if the bootloader be lucked and can't be unlock again we will loos this feature of unlocked bootloader isn't it ?
Now I have a good news I got & copy all my files, :highfive:
I play with some features of Nexus root kit tool and try to flash stock Rom and there were a failed as I mentioned that in my last posts,
I flashed each failed X.img, individually under "Fastboot Flash" menus in "Advanced Utilities" Section,
Then I press Custom recovery Under "Fastboot Boot" in "Advanced Utilities" Section, I think this option is the key because it forced the Nexus to run into TWRP recovey mode :good: "but without flash it, because when I reboot by device to recovery mode again I got the dead old one !!
and this recovery "TWRP" support the "Enable MTP" protocol, so after that I got a connection for my nexus as a storage with my PC and copy All files & Pictures,
I Can copy from the device, but I con't copy from my PC to it.
but there are some Error message in the log of TWRP recovery mode:
Code:
Updating partion details
[COLOR="Red"]E: Unable to mount '/Persist'[/COLOR]
...done
Full SELinux support is present.
[COLOR="Red"]E: Unable to open '/cach/recovery/.version'.[/COLOR]
MTP Enable
also when I tried to flash the slim Rom by install option I got some error message , the TWRP can't flash the Rom here are the messages:
Code:
when I tried to flash a ROM.zip file I got some error messages like this:
Format and Mount System, Mount Data ...
Symlinks and Permissions ...
symlink: some symlinks faild
[COLOR="Red"]E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Zip File sh Update File/Slim-4.4.4.zip[/COLOR]
Error flashing zip 'sdcard/Zip flash Update File/Slim-4.4.4.zip'
Updating partition details...
[COLOR="Red"]E: Unable to mount '/persist'[/COLOR]
...done
also I tried to flash the same my Nexus ROM, (MIUI 4-4-4), but I got same result & Error messages, all Rom already on my sdcard before 4 months maybe.
When I tried "Cache & Dalvik Wipe Complate", I got same error.
Code:
Wiping Dalvik Cach Directories...
Cleaned: /data/dalvik-cach...
-- Dalvik Cach Directories Wipe Complete!
Updating partition details...
[COLOR="Red"]E: Unable to mount '/persist'[/COLOR]
Now may if I flash the stock factory image with wiping all data "its default" solve the problem ?!
or the error message above shown something wrong with device ? or need a certain tool to fix it ?!
or I can fix this issue by "Mount" option in the TWRP Recovery ?! I never used this option !
I will try to flash the stock factory image when I come back to the home.
The big important thing was my files and I got them now by your support, Thaaaanks :fingers-crossed:
the next step, am I get my device back or need to buy new one ?! :cyclops:
Thank you again for your support and I hope the log error messages will give more help to explain the real issue for you.

Well it sounds like you got what you wanted... However from what I've been able to find the errors you are running up against is not good. It sounds like the failed to flash errors and if you boot into twrp which you did and you get mount problems there is a very good chance your sd is fried.
The reason @jd1639 asked about the OEM lock I believe is if it won't stay locked or unlocked it is sd issue.
You can try contacting Google about an RMA however by you replacing there power button they most likely won't accept it.
Good luck glad you got your files.

Dear @ jwhyte , yes it was a good luck when I got a copy of my files, but do you mean that is the error message of "Unable to mount" is the sdcard/storage of devices damaged and can't be fix ?!
about the RMA, my devices already out of warranty, I bought it more than one year ago.
so now go ahead to choose & buy a new device ?

@efrant thank you for this link, this is a good idea too, I tried it but faced an issue with using & installing Universal Naked driver, some times the Adb tools can't connect with device in recovery mode, I will try it again and again next week when I have a time and using new PC to install the Universal Naked Driver for recovery only to avoid any other drivers for android.
All dears helpers , thank you very much for your helping,
when I have more time next week I will try some of new idea,
if I get any solution I will submit here the link to be a reference for other

It seems you are trying to solve too many issues at once.
The first thing you need to do is make sure your drivers are installed properly, which doesn't seem to be the case. You shouldn't have to mess around with any unofficial drivers. Just install the drivers from Google's website: whttp://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html. That is the first thing you need to make sure is done properly.
The next is to make sure you have the latest version of the four files you need (fasboot.exe, adb.exe, & the 2 dll files) to connect with your device.
Only then should you try to troubleshoot / fix your device.

You definitely need to fix your persist partition. Your phone will not boot until you do that.
For this to work you need adb to connect to the phone in normal mode (not bootloader).
Installing the naked driver can be problematic, if another driver is already installed. The easiest way is to install it another PC that has not had an Android phone connected to it. You need to disable internet when you connect the phone, and try to cance windows installation of the driver. Then you will have a device with an error in device manager, you right click on it and choose update driver, and choose manual install from the naked driver folder.
If you can't do that, see if you can use the custom recovery to change the phone to connect usb as a camera.
Now open device manager: if you see Android device >Android Composite ADB Interface then adb should work. Try adb devices command. If you see a device you are connected. Then follow bitdomo's guide to fixing the persist partition. You need to be rooted for this to work. You can skip the wifi and BT foe now - you don't need that to boot into the OS. You can do this later.
Once you fix the persist partiton you should be able to boot. Perhaps it will be a good idea to flash stock, but make sure to enable usb debugging, in case you have future problems.

[Q] Asus Transformer TF300T bricked - not accepting flash via fastboot

Hi guys,
I have my friend's Asus Transformer tablet which was never rooted nor modified in any way. One time it went dead and did not boot up. When it finally turned back on, screen was stuck on ASUS logo (please see attachment below).
These were the troubleshooting steps taken:
Reset through the small opening at the side (NO GOOD)
Click Wipe Data at Recovery (NO GOOD)
Tried to flash stock rom through fastboot (NO GOOD)
Firmware used was: ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T Firmware: V10.6.1.27.5 Only for JP SKU (Android 4.2)
And the error in fastboot was this:
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot devices
015d15b4f8041c04 fastboot
C:\adb>fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
erasing 'system'...
OKAY [ 2.143s]
sending 'system' (800931 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 7.317s
Flashed using Windows 7 OS.
We'd like to know if there would be any chance to revive the tablet or is it time to bid goodbye.
Thank you and more power XDA!

Had the same issue. Used Linuxmint and was able to flash image with no issues.

Also had this issue happen to me one day out of the blue, with the exception of not even being able to boot into recovery. I tried everything and ended up giving up as nothing worked. I'm currently waiting for a new motherboard to see if that fixes it.

...are you sure that the chosen firmware is the right one that fits to your tablet exactly? I suppose it's the wrong one, because I used to take Version WW_V10.6.1.27.5 and was successful to get a clean Stock Rom JB. I also may be wrong.
However I think it's worth to make a further attempt to flash that blob as follows:
Make a folder C:\Flash and copy the .blob from WW_V10.6.1.27.5 into the folder.
Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot and put in "fastboot devices". The device should appear as "xxx device".
Now type in step by step (wait after every step!):
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase cache
After that open C:\Flash and put in "fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob" without " " .
Now it takes a while "sending..." appears then "write..." and the load status will be shown.
If loading is finished put in "fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot". It takes a while to start into a clean JB 4.2.2!
Please note, I cannot guarantee any success-everything you do is on your own risk. Good luck!

Please try the version WW_V10.6.1.27.5. WW stands for world wide. That's what I used to take. http://www.asus.com/Tablets/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/HelpDesk_Download/
Once downloaded, you need to head to the path “Settings > About Tablet” where you will have to note down the Build number. If the build number starts with “WW”, your SKU is WW. Similarly, if your build number starts with “US”, you must download the firmware for the US SKU.

Bricked? I'm out of options

Hello, on March 10th I received a new update on my N5. After update, which finished with no problems as usual, my phone was normally working or about two more hours. In that time no new apps were installed. Then it just shut down, and can't be properly turned on.
It always stuck at Google logo and that is all that it does. I'm able to get to the fastboot mode by holding Power+Volume Up+Volume Down buttons, but I can't get into Recovery Mode option to hard reset it. Nothing show up after selecting that option and Power+Volume Up does nothing. Ok, bad luck, time to flash it nice and clean.
Haha, nice try.
I'm not sure if I had USB debugging on or off, but I think off. Obtained ROM from Google + newest platform tools from SDK and followed all possible manual I could get from Internets, results:

Also when I reboot bootloader, it get stuck and when I get it back with buttons, it is back in its locked state. So my guess is that eMMC went to Silicon Heaven.
Do you guys have any advices? Or is my phone just fancy mirror now?

When the phone is in fastboot mode, does the bootloader state remain "unlocked" after a reboot?
If the bootloader is unlocked, have you tried relfashing a stock ROM?

Like i wrote, it get back to locked state.

The emmc chip is defective and cannot be fixed. This is clearly indicated when the bootloader relocks itself at reboot.

Thought so, but wanted confirmation . Thank you.

I'm not very familiar with Linux. The latest firmware is compressed with a newer compression method which older versions of fastboot don't handle. What do you get if you run the command fastboot --version? The latest is 28.0.1

Yes tried all that. When I chood recovery Mode from the menu I get a black screen. A reboot via fastboot into recovery is not possible afaik.
Code:
fastboot --version
fastboot version 1:7.0.0+r33-2
This is the latest version according to Ubuntu.

All right, looks like Linux is a little different than windows. See if these help, https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.

So somehow I seemed to have bricked my Pixel 3 XL. I've bootet into fastboot and ahve enabled OEM unlock beforehand in the dev options. Also the screen tells me "Device state: unlocked" after I ran
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
.
But now no matter what I do I end up with a black screen. Can't boot into my OS and can't boot into recovery. I also can't flash a factory ROM or temp boot into TWRP. I also can't flash anything.
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-4-crosshatch.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.396s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Error calling AvbLoadAndVerifyBootImages Load Error)
finished. total time: 0.765s
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-4-crosshatch.img
target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
sending 'recovery' (65536 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.392s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Not allowed to flash (recovery))
finished. total time: 0.758s
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
...
(bootloader) Device already unlocked
OKAY [ 0.318s]

You are right about recovery>fastboot. That is why I "deleted" my comment. Maybe starting back over might help. Were you running BL unlocked already? Did you have TWRP installed? Had you been using the same computer /cable/port to execute commands before?

Try flashing the factory image again. Just use the flash all .sh file.

Doesn't work:
Code:
./flash-all.sh
fastboot too old; please download the latest version at https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
Code:
fastboot --version
fastboot version 28.0.1-4986621
Installed as /usr/local/sbin/platform-tools/fastboot

Ok the flash all is just broken but it can be forced to do its job simply by deleting the following lines:
Code:
#if ! grep -q partition-exists $(which fastboot); then
# echo "fastboot too old; please download the latest version at https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html"
# exit 1
#fi
I didn't delete them but just made them a comment. Then it worked.
