Cannot Flash anything!

Alright, so, my tablet decided to one day just cease stop working. The recovery for some reason can't flash anything now, is used to be able to flash a backup, but not anymore. It used to be able to boot past the animation, but not anymore. I cannot flash a ROM from recovery because it says that the file is bad (and please, don't tell me to check to see if the md5's are correct, they are, I've triple checked.) I've flashed CWM recovery and TWRP recovery, and TWRP cannot fix permissions, but CWM recovery can, but neither can flash a single ROM. I've tried sideloading a rom but i get this error from the CMD window
Code:
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
. I'm at my wits end here. The bootloader is perfectly fine, it works 100% but I can't flash a single thing from recovery. I've flashed non-corrupted recoveries, and still I cannot flash a thing.

You have flashed the latest TWRP via fastboot and it still wont flash roms? Also, what bootloader are you on?

What tablet do you have?
From where did you download which recovery for which Asus tablet.
Sounds like the recovery version doesn't match the device.

Asus Tf700 32 GB. I got the recovery from the TWRP website. In answer to the boot loader question, I have no idea how to check. All I know is that I can choose between RCK, Cold Boot, Fast boot and Wipe Data.

Have you ever unlocked the bootloader? (If not: do so by searching on Asus' site for the Unlock Bootloader Tool v7) It's a simple apk which you install and then check and let it unlock.
Only then, you can start flashing!
If you already have unlocked, maybe you sent it in (?) Or flashed an official Asus rom (?), you might want to unlock it again.
Let us know if any of these answers above helped

If you have the 4 icons that indicates JB.
Sounds like the custom recovery is not installed if your on the RCK icon and press the up volume rocker and nothing happens.

Unlocking it would require an OS to be installed, but none is installed because I was wiping to install a different ROM. I have unlocked it. In response to the boot loader, yes, it has 4 icons. So I guess it is the JB boot loader. When I go to RCK it does boot recovery but from there on its unable to open any zips besides any backups I have. When I reload a backup it doesn't install the OS, but it restores everything else.

Can you get adb shell access to your recovery?
Which ZIP are you actually trying to flash? What is the exact error message from the recovery? Try running md5sum (inside the adb shell) on the file you want to flash. Check the output of "mount". Check if /cache/recovery/log contains interesting info.

Alright, I'll have to try that when I get home in about 3-4 hours. I'll get back to you on that. Also, I noticed last night that when I was on fast boot, it would stay stuck as waiting for device on the cmd window. I'm not sure if it was my computer that didn't detect it or a new symptom. O hope its just a fluke!

Alright, here's the log from my recovery.

OK, I assumed that you're not using data2sd. 1. Make sure your microsdcard is good (reformat and recopy your backup or rom if needed),2. Boot into twrp and wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, wipe system, wipe internal then finally the most important part, FORMAT SDCARD. Now reflash a new rom or try to restore from backup. I would try step#2 first. Good luck.
EDIT: format sdcard instead of wipe sdcard.

Encrypted phone now cant use CWM backup and adb

Hello guys, having a bit of a dilemna here as only took the plunge to root today and is my first time in doing so. What I have done is updated to 4.4.2 KitKat OTA and then rooted my moto g. I used the superboot method and got the horrible pink screen and had to manually install supersu, however the device is rooted and obviously the bootloader is unlocked. I then proceeded to put everything back on my phone and then encrypted my phone.
However, I tried to get into recovery (stock) and was fronted with the on its back android with its belly open and red "!" in a triangle. I got this before I even unlocked to bootloader. Anyhow, I wanted to use a custom recovery so I could manage different ROMs in ROM manager etc, so I flashed CWM6046-MotoG44.img (CMW ver. 6.0.4.6) and all was swell.... until i wanted to make a backup.
I did a little searching around and was stumped until I found a post suggesting that CMW couldnt mount storage because the device was encrypted.
What I would like to know if at all possible; what would be the best course of action to take, as im unsure what will/could brick/break my device and as its encrypted I dont think adb commands are pushed as when flashing the recovery image, my device was listed in fastboot devices but not adb devices.
Should I flash a stock image and go from there, put everything back on yada yada yada and NOT encrypt the device, or....
Should I do a factory reset? will this brick my device/lose root access? or will I be able to re root?
I really appreciate any input you guys can give me, and for the meantime im just going to leave my device as it is and not flash anything else,
Many thanks and best regards,
voosh

Anybody have any ideas?

Can anybody help me here. Need to get this sorted so I can flash a custom ROM. Thanks

When you get the dead android hold power button for ten seconds then tap the power button,that should get you into stock recovery ,then navigate to wipe data factory reset ,you shouldn't lose root but you will lose da ta and apps

Thanks for the reply but I have already installed the cwm custom recovery. Should I add that I'm still able to access device, my problem mainly is getting rid of encryption as I can't use cwm while device is encrypted and can only do so by factory reset or flashing a stock ROM, but unsure of which option to take. Many thanks and best regards

I did get a dead robot. So I flashed CWM custom recovery. I now get the cwm recovery and options, but I can't make a backup becausey filesystem is encrypted, so would like to know the best way to decrypt by means of flashing a new or ROM or simply doing a factory reset within tho phones menus.
Many thanks

OK,you need to boot into cwm and choose the wipe data factory reset option from cwm, I tried to wipe my phone before from the phones menu and because it had a custom recovery it didn't work,but if you boot cwm-wipe data/factory reset it will remove encryption.

Any luck???

Sorry, I fell asleep lol was a long day.
Going to try it now and will keep you posted, Cheers.
EDIT - Didnt work - failed to mount storage because "android secure"
Factory reset within the phone also didnt work - The phone reset and the android with the blue thing in its stomach was stuck in a loop, probably because of custom recovery.
Is there a stock recovery I can flash to factory restore the phone?
EDIT 2 - Flashed this recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578243
Now when I boot into recovery it just boots into the phone regularly. When performing a factory reset now the android doesnt even appear and the phone boots regularly again, still encrypted

[SOLVED] TWRP 3.0.2 bootloop

Hello everyone.
I had a problem flashing TWRP on my Google Nexus 5, or better the problem comes when I try to enter the recovery.
I followed this pattern from stock android 6.0.1 with august security patch:
1) unlock bootloader
2) downloaded lastest TWRP (3.0.2 hammerhead) recovery from the official website
3) flash it with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Until this point everything's alright but then when I unplug my phone from the laptop and click on enter recovery something strange happens.
I can see the TWRP boot image but as soon as I go in I see tons of errors related to "cannot mount ..." and some partitions name like /data, /cache, and then starts the bootloop without let me any chance to do something. Sorry but I can't see every error beacuse this happen too fast.
Any idea on what is going on?
I've tried the TWRP 3.0.1 but is the same shuold I go down or maybe I have to change it beacuse of compatibily issues with the monthly patches?
Thank you for your help, I hope I explained my problem clearly.

After unlocking the bootloader, phone wipe all data? Did you reboot after unlocking bootloader?

No I've just unlocked and then tryied to flash the recovery without wipe.
But data is already wiped by unlocking the bootloader isn't it?
Anyway thanks for your reply as soon as I can I'll try what you have written.

Yes, the data should be automatically wiped. Try TWRP 2.87. If the phone still doesn't boot into TWRP, reflash stock recovery, flash userdata.img, immediately boot into stock recovery using the button combo without rebooting, perform a factory wipe, reboot into fastboot, and flash TWRP again.

Thank you so much for telling me to flash the 2.8.7, i've choosen the 2.8.7.1 without success (it did't flash i don't know why) but then after another wipe all I've flashed the 2.8.7.0 and it seems to work.
The only thing I would like to ask now is: I'm going to flash superSU and elementalX over stock AOSP (I don't want custom ROM for now) and can this recovery cause problem because of it is not the last update?
Thank you again for the answer!

I have not tried 2.87 with Elemental X. The only way to determine whether it will work would be to try it. I recommend creating a nandroid backup before flashing Elemental so you can restore if something goes wrong.

TWRP Restore problem
Hi, I have an issue with the resotre of TWRP...
Here's what I did:
-Downloaded the latest OTA image https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota
-Downloaded latest SuperSU http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-stable
-Downloaded latest ElementalX http://elementalx.org/devices/nexus-5/
-reboot to TWRP
Choose OTA, then SuperSU, then ElementalX
Luunch the restore..
And my screen is "blocked" from 5 hours on Install Zip 1 of 3.
"blocked" means doesn't move to the Zip2 but the clock is moving... the screen is locking itself after few seconds and I am able to unlock it...
Any idea how to exit properly ?

I have rebooted...deleted all my music... (I think that the issue may come from insufficient disk space) and relaunched...
Will see...

Hi, I've have successfully installed the last OTA update but not with zip file, instead I downloaded the factory image and flashed with fastboot boot.img and system.img (also vendor.img if you have one) then rebooted into TWRP and installed the lastest ElementalX and SuperSU.
I'm not sure but I think that factory image zip file are not installable via recovery but only with the flash-all that comes with them. This script use fastboot to flash everything you need of the factory image
You can find this procedure on the ElementalX website, here is the link hope it can help out: http://elementalx.org/how-to-install-android-monthly-security-updates/

Finally... I installed CM13 and ElementalX... in some minutes ...
I suppose the the problem was in my zip file...

[Q] [Locked OP6] Bootloop after upgrading to 10.3.0 - how to recover without format

My dad got the OTA update to 10.3.0 on xmas day and installed it. However the phone is now stuck on boot logo. He has a locked phone just as it came out of the box (ie no TWRP, no OEM unlock, no root).
I am quite experienced with installing custom ROMs but with locked phones I am lost. Is there anyway to recover the device without deleting data / factory reset? This is because my dad has quite a lot of pics on the device that are not backed up (yeah I know...).
Things I've tried so far:
- reboot holding power button + volume up
- boot flash twrp from fastboot - no permission due to phone being locked
- in stock recovery I do not get access to device via cable
- installed Tool all in One - it sees phone via fastboot
I always use the Stock Fastboot ROMs for OnePlus 6 myself to recover from soft bricks but this wipes data so no option here. Unless there is a way to install parts of ROM? Any other tips or ideas from the awesome XDA community? :good:
Btw this is the update he installed:
Screenshot of update that was installed

If you boot on twrp, it does not ask for the pin code to access the data?
Maybe try the last twrp for OOS 10.3.0 : ( https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261678088 )
Use command : fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-16-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img
Try flash a new boot img :
Stock boot 10.3 img
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1w44cUg815g-H1h_6gObUVPLDTc_dtiMX

The phone is not unlocked and therefore has no TWRP recovery. This is my problem, if it was unlocked I would have figured out a way to fix it.
PS it does ask for pincode when accessing stock recovery

I'm not sure if this works on locked bootloaders but try switching boot slots using fastboot.

Couple of weird things:
-you don't need an unlocked bootloader for fastboot to boot back into the system
-the dual partition was designed precisely to prevent things like this from happening. When an update fails, you are supposed to roll back to the old slot you were on previously.
Anyway, since you are able to boot to fastboot, can you try to get to stock recovery again from fastboot and see if you can boot up to system from there?

Hey
You can try to change the boot slot using fastboot mode
It can help uh maybe
Its worth to try

When I try to set it to slot A (it's B now) it says device does not support slots which is weird as 'fastboot getvar current-slot' does show it using slot B right now.
When I try to set it to B (ie current slot) it says: FAILED (remote: 'Slot Change is not allowed in Lock State').

When I reboot to stock recovery it gives two options:
- Wipe Data and Cache
- Advanced
There are two reboot options under Advanced:
1. Reboot to fastboot
2. Reboot to recovery
2nd option just boots it back to this same recovery. Boot to fastboot works as well. So there is no option to reboot the device.
Perhaps I can try to flash the stock ROM (kinda of dirty flash) but again not sure if that works on locked phone.

This doesn't work unfortunately on a locked device.

I found the fix and it was very simple: in Recovery under Wipe Data and Cache it has the option to delete 1. System Settings 2. Cache 3. Wipe all (incl Data).
I choose option 1 (System Settings) and after that it booted and I had to set up phone again as with a new install but all data on sd card had remained. I did lose all apps but that is a very minor thing.
Thanks for everyone who thought along with me. We got there in the end

I am facing similar problem with my OP5. When I boot in recovery, it asks for pattern to unlock. But does not accept any pattern. In the absence of pin, it gives option to Wipe Data. Will I get similar options like you did ? I am hoping to save my data.

Can factory reset recover deleted built-in apps?

If ill root my phone, and delete the browser and the play store for example... and then ill go into recovery mode and make a factory reset, will those app will come back?
If yes, is there a way to prevent simple factory rest to recover those app? ty

A Factory Reset rolls back Android OS to the state as it was pre-installed by OEM/Carrier when they put the phone into the market. A Factory Reset doesn't affect Android's /system partition but only the /data partition. So if browser and Google Play were pre-installed as user-apps ( in /data partition ) then they get restored by a Factory Reset: there is no way to prevent this, AFAIK.

ty man!
I have another question.. maybe you'll know...
I want to disable the recovery mode, It happened to me once without intention... I hade a Homtom phone, and i rooted him, and then i tried to put TWRP recovery. I didn't succeed, but what happened was a black screen every time i tried to enter recovery mode. that's what im looking for, something like that.. replace the stock recovery with a broken recovery mode or whatever will do the same work.
I know that with an access to my device you can flash a different recovery and thus make it work again , but most people where i live don't know how to do that, and even they don't know to root or even to unlock the bootloader. most people won't know to recognize the problem, they are not so smart.
Of course there are those who know and can do it, but it does add a lot of security to my phone, and besides that there are other reasons I want to do it besides security. What I do not know is how to do it in the simplest way. what happened to me then was by mistake or by luck

Flashing TWRP means that device's Stock Recovery unrecoverably gets deleted. As long as you haven't backed up device's Stock Recovery before flashng TWRP means you've lost, IMO, unless you have device's Stock ROM at your fingertips where you can extract the recovery.img from.
