There's only one fastboot command to flash recovery.. What exactly are you doing to flash? What happens when you press volume up at the dead android. Please be as descriptive as possible.

Try miktouch or another stock based ROM so you don't need to flash kernel
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Is there a particular miktouch I should try? Would the below link be good to try?(for some reason having hard time finding)
"cx.com/mycx/share/jzvMU-erEeGfjBICOBql1A/MikTouch-0.7-signed.zip"
And just follow the steps and flash it vs cm9, correct?
Any stock based ROM is easier to flash as you don't need to flash the kernel afterwards through fastboot. Also cm9 is one of the few Roms I have seen issues for people when trying to flash, granted it is one of the better Roms out there, but right now you are just trying to get this working again, so stick with easy.
And I would think that's a good link, but didn't check

On some of my Linux distros I would have to use fastboot flash with a ./ before it would work.
./fasboot flash boot boot.Img
I have no idea why it was like this but it helped me a fee times on the DS. If its anything else I'd have no idea, I haven't messed with this since I sent mine off to a XDA user here.

You said you are able to get into recovery? Try factory resetting there
Download this 1.44.1107 S-Off PG59IMG Hboot. Rename it to PG59IMG.zip. Send it to the sdcard, and reboot into the bootloader. It will then be installed automatically. This may or may not solve the problem. Try flashing a ROM now.

dont you need to be locked to do this? i've tried "fastboot oem lock" but it has an error about too many links and the phone shuts off and it shows that it is still unlocked. I tried the PG59IMG.zip anyway and it said parsing and went right back to hboot within a second.. Flashed miktouch rom. Restarted phone, still just stuck on logo screen.
What do you see in the bootloader? Has something changed? Try flashing a recovery this time. The latest Clockworkmod should be fine. Then see what happens.

I don't see any differences in the bootloader. Is there something specific you think may have changed.
Do you want me to try to reflash the cwm 5.0.2.7 version(currently loaded) or a different version(I didn't see a newer version for 4g slide)?

Stucked at "Rom Logo"

Hey guys..
I made a search on google for the best rom for a Moto G, and found a website with links for Paranoid, CNM, and Slim.. and i picked SLIMKAT
But after dong the process of installing twrp or CWM Recovery.. ended up sticking with CWM recovery cause of the buggy touch on the TWRP
so i was able to flash the rom and did it in this order
Flash Rom
Flash Gapps
Flash SU
reboot.. and got stucked at "slimkat logo"
then i decided maybe there was something wrong with the rom so i tried flashing Paranoid.. same deal.. stucked at logo.
Would anyoen please point me in the right direction fo what i need to do to fix this?
Thank you

I'd restore stock firmware (that should get rid of those "sd card" errors) and then flash the custom recovery again.
I'd try the philZ recovery instead of CMW. And finally flash the Rom you want to.

Omg that's strange. Unlocked bootloader once = unlocked bootloader forever, it's impossible you somehow re-lock it.
Did you follow the instructions on Motorola webiste to unlock?

Yes i think the problem is in the way i am returning to stock.
I found a thread with here in XDA last night were called "Firmware restock and more 4.4.2
but instead of using the batch file i oped them up in a text editor and run every line manually to see what the console answers after each command.
i downloaded the stock rom according to my country and carrie and simply rpelaced the files but i think the checksum did not match and thats why i was getting the denied message when doing this
%fastboot% flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
%fastboot% flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
%fastboot% flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
I'm going to rename my country stock rom xml file to match the original xml file and see

When I restored Stock, in the zip file I downloaded (en version) instead of:
system.img_sparsechunk1
system.img_sparsechunk2
system.img_sparsechunk3
there were
system.img_sparsechunk0
system.img_sparsechunk1
system.img_sparsechunk2
so I had to edit the prompt commands to match the file names.
May you're facing the same issue?
Try to auto-complete commands witht the tab key, it helps you not to give the wrong imputs
Ok, do you tried the Alonsoch tool? Read carefully the op, there is your "sparsechunk" problem and how fix it.

I think the reason you were being stuck at the ROM logo is because you didn't unlock your phone before you tried all this..
So.. hopefully you can restore your phone back to stock rom and start over..
good luck

Sent from my XT1031 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Bricked my Honor 6 H60-L04 Indian variant while trying to install .zip files.

I recently upgraded my phone to EMUI 2.3 to EMUI 3.1 (Android lollipop 5.1), and installed CWM and rooted it. Two days ago I have downloaded cerebus app from Rom manager app and it installed by rebooting into recovery. Then a couple of minutes after rebooting the phone keep on crashing and shutting down randomly and when I tried to reboot it won't reboot but stuck for sometime at the Honor logo and since then I've tried every possible flashing and resetting I found here on XDA.
I still have access to fastboot and that is how I am able to flash ROM s and when I am trying to use the three button method it is stopping at 90 %. I couldn't even access it if my phone is not connected to my PC.
Now I've exhausted all the procedures in here and some other sites.
Somebody please suggest me something, help me.
Thank you.
Follow these steps to get it back to stock:
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Boot into bootloader mode by switching off the phone then pressing only the Vol DOWN button, and connecting it to PC simultaneously.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.
NOTE: If the manual flashing doesn't works or you get any errors, then first try only the force update method, i.e Putting the UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD and pressing Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously after switching off your phone.
Thanks Brother.

I have the same problem with a H60-L12.
I noticed, that I get that error when I try to flash a boot.img from a different EMUI version pack.
In my case, the phone had EMUI3.0 and I can write any of the EMUI3.0 boot.img's, but cannot write a boot.img from an EMUI 3.1 or EMUI4.0 update.app

I'm using "Honor 6_Firmware_H60-L04_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.0_C675B822_India_Flipkart India"
which is the latest stock firmware for Honor 6 H60-L04.
I have tried to force update with the thee button method and it worked (completed 100%)but unfortunately the phone is now in bootloop. This definitely made the phone a little better but once it got to the EMUI update screen its restarting again.
Thanks again man I though nobody would reply for this. its been so long since ive posted this.

You have to use that last Lollipop package which you were on before, try the three button method with that and report.

Yeah man, I've tried to flash recovery of the last Lollipop Rom and still the same message FAILED (status read failed (Too many links)).
Is there any other way that we can try to unbrick the device?
Thank you man.

When you flashed manually, did you used the same IMG files from the last installed ROM?
You canĀ“t extract and flash IMG files of a LP ROM in a last installed MM ROM and vice versa.

Check in task manager to see if you have adb.exe running. Stop all and try again.

Ok, first be sure that your Bootloader is unlocked, on dialer type:
*#*#7378423#*#* -> Service info -> Configuration -> Rooting status :
Bootloader unlock done
Then download TWRP form here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767112082
To boot into fastboot mode, you should turn the M2 off and connect it to your computer using a USB cable while holding down the Volume Up button with the other end of the USB cable already connected to the computer, the led light should turn into blue.
Flash the TWRP recovery running:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/the/twrp.img
Thanks bro! But I had already fix this problem. It was some problems with flashtool....

My problem with flashtool was that I couldn't unlock my bootloader, It was some folders and files that made me unable to do it. Try to find on YouTube "Fix bootloader on Flashtool", something like that, probably you will find... It's simple to fix. Hope I have helped.... Sorry about my English!

OnePlus 6 No OS No TWRP, stuck on fastboot screen

Hello,
I'm a young user of a OP6, I did root it well, installed TWRP but everything ****ed up when I did erase everything w/ TWRP.
My situation now: No OS, no TWRP, stuck on fastboot mode.
What I've tried:
1- Flashing TWRP.img again, getting this error code :
C:\WINDOWS\system32>fastboot flash recovery "D:\Users\Documents\Rooter\twrp-3.2.3-1-enchilada.img"
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (28728 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.618s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: (recovery_b) No such partition)
finished. total time: 0.624s
2- Tried to write it on boot_b (fastboot flash boot_b twrp-3.2.3-1-enchilada.img)
Works but while booting getting :
C:\WINDOWS\system32>fastboot boot "D:\Users\Documents\Rooter\twrp-3.2.3-1-enchilada.img"
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.620s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)
finished. total time: 0.641s
3- Same steps with OP6 OS, same problems
I'm stuck and begging for help (french/english) and not a simple redirect.
I can't access to adb devices and neither to /sdcard/ .
Thanks a lot for your advices to save my phone

I don't have this device but, I believe that one or more of the following threads should be helpful for what you are looking for that's specific to your device. Don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within one of them too.

I hope you've solved the problem by now, but if not, you can use fastboot to load twrp directly by typing
fastboot boot twrp.img
(replace twrp.img with the actual filename).
Once twrp loads, you can sideload or use adb push to transfer the twrp.img file to the phone and install it from twrp.
You don't flash the twrp.img file ... instead boot twrp.img temporarily .... 'fasboot boot twrp.img' ... then you can flash the zip file in TWRP
Go to this post to unbrick your device
