Problem [BOOTLOADER] - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Describing my problem :
Since yesterday my OPO did some random reboots. I was running Paranoid Android and it worked perfectly...
Yesterdayevening after it rebooted another time, my OPO didn't start at all... It seems that my bootloader won't load the OS.
This morning, I did a complete wipe and I've put the stock ROM from the CM site back on my OPO ( XNPH33R signed boot).
-Fastboot works
-Recovery works
-Bootloader won't load OS. ( only the One Plus logo pops up (not the bootanimation)). After that it reboots over and over...
Update 1 17:30 5/10/2014 :
I'm in a bootloop, I have no ROM. I have the TWRP recovery. And the bootloader is LOCKED.
So I tried to unlock the bootloader with the toolkit for the OnePlus one. ( I tried it also manually with cmd).
----WHAT IT DOES in CMD/ Phone-------
In CMD : " OKAY [0.012 s]
Finished. total time : 0.012 s
OPO : It opens up my TWRP recovery but it does not unlock the bootloader
Update 2 19:52 5/10/2014 :
I've been able to unlock the bootloader...
with the command " fastboot oem device-info" , I received :
Bootloader tampered : True
Bootloader unlocked : False ( because the toolkit only did " fastboot oem unlock " , I did an adb sideload with a zip "OnePlusOne-OnlyBootloaderToggle" from the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/mod-reset-unlock-tamper-bit-t2820912. Now my bootloader is back UNLOCKED.
I hope the bootloop will stop when I do a factory / reset.
10:40 6/10/2014 :
I tried several times to flash stock roms from the official site / from the forum. None of them 'work'.
Can someone please help me?? He still bootloops!!! How frustrating thazt is,I tried everything from threads on the forum. Nobody is ansering my thread. Any reason for that ?

My suggestion is this: grab one of the recovery flashable versions of CM11S from here, boot into your TWRP recovery and use adb to push the ROM zip to your phone, then use the install function in TWRP to flash it.
To push the zip to your phone you first need to put it in your adb/fastboot folder (wherever you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe located on your PC), make sure your phone is booted into TWRP and connected to your PC, open a command prompt from within your adb/fastboot folder (shift + right click anywhere in the folder, then select open command prompt here), and issue this command:
Code:
adb push <name of file.zip> /sdcard/
*Please note the '<' and '>' symbols are not included in the command.
From there just flash the ROM like you would flash any other ROM.

5. Flashed TWRP back
6. ADB push zip in /sdcard/
7. Flashed the zip SUCCESSFUL after these steps
I still have a bootloop

Have you tried to format your internal sd card and flash your zip. Remember if you format though you will lose everything on your sdcard. Make sure you backup everything first if you want to try this. Also if you do this you will have to push your zip back to the phone

Who can even solve this?...

My internal storage was already formatted. I just have the TWRP and the zip on my phone.
[Q] In the TWRP recovery menu in 'Advanced' what has to be between Copy Log to SD and Terminal Command? There is a blank spot ,there should be button normally?
How is it even possible i have nothing but the recovery and the zip and I still got a bootloop...
Is there somebody that knows something else that i can try?
Is it possible to flash perhaps with odin?

definitely not odin thats Samsung my friend. Partition SD Card is whats missing in TWRP for you. I asked about formatting internal because a similar thing happened to my friend. We had to format internal then adb push recovery and rom and all was well again. If you have tried this recently then my bad but if you have not it wont hurt to try it again in that order
format internal
adb push recovery
adb push rom
reboot
Take a look in here as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-brickloop-audio-fx-fc-efs-corrupt-t2879061

Bootloop fixed
It finally worked!!! How weird that i already found a zip like on the thread but with XNPH33R and also with the persist and recovery.img and flash-all etc... but it didn't work.
Now i just have to update from the settings
At beginning I was convinced that a bootloop could be fixed with factory/reset would do it. Like it always worked on my previous smartphone.
Thank you playya and timmaaa for the responses!:good: You are awesome! See me sitting here with a

[Q] factory reset problem

I have a problem. I inadvertantly did a factory reset running AOKP 4.2.2 mr 1 when trying to move over to mr 1 mb2. I am unlocked, hboot 2.14.0000 S-on CID 1111111. I know I need to reformat my SD card. The problem is that HTC sync does not see my phone when it is connected by USB. The device manager sees the phone and lists it under portable devices, drives, and cameras. Unfortunately it is not listed in "My Computer" where I can do the format.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated!
How are you mounting the sd card? If you mount it through TWRP it should show up properly, and then you can format it.

I have not been using TWRP. I am on Clockwork. Can I work with TWRP through ADB or Fastboot? I'm in unfamiliar waters here and need some tutorial instruction.
Thanks for all of your help!
If you want to mount through recovery you'll need to install TWRP instead of CWM, I don't think CWM includes a mount feature, right? If you want to install it just follow these instructions:
Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can enter TWRP recovery on your phone and mount your storage via the mount menu.

Okay. I installed TWRP recovery and formatted the /SD into FAT32. All appears to have gone well. I downloaded the latest CM 10.2 nightly for 10/4/2013. I unzipped the file to a folder on my desktop. I copied the boot.img into my platform-tools folder that contains fastboot.exe and adb.exe. I copied the zipped file for the ROM onto the freshly formatted /SD (now D: in My Computer). I used fastboot flash boot boot.img. It wrote correctly. I then went into recovery and launched TWRP. It did not give me the option of mounting the folder as indicated in the FAQ tutorial in this forum. I instead used the Install button in TWRP. It failed:
Updating partition details...
Installing '/sdcard/cm-10.2-20131004-NIGHTLY-evita.zip'...

E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/cm-10.2-20131004-NIGHTLY-evita.zip'
Updating partition details ...
Failed
What am I doing wrong? I've tried clearing caches, rebooting into the bootloader through adb, rebooting into fastboot.
So far the help has been outstanding. Get me over this last hurdle please!

Since your first post have you updated your firmware/hboot to 2.15? It looks like the bootloader check in the installer is failing because you don't have the correct hboot.

I went back on Friday night and installed an old version of AOKP that uses hboot 2.14 and it loaded perfectly. The phone has been up and running all weekend. Thank you so much for your help!
Can I update the firmware with S-on? I thought it was locked down.
Is a firmware update done in the same way as a ROM update? e.g. download the .zip file and fastboot flash hboot "hboot 2.15 package.zip"?
Learning on the fly...
Thanks again!
You can't update firmware unless you have s-off. The firmware is flashed a bit differently, it's best to refer to the instructions found with the download in Turge's stock ROM thread.

Help, Moto g won't boot up any rom

I unlock the g bootloader got it to root I have the latest cwm recovery been trying different ones also, but some how when I try to install any rom that's out there it won't boot up it only stays on the boot screen . Any ideas
Me too
I have this problem too.
Guys, please search the forum before posting, so your issues would get resolved quickly.
OK, Now towards your problem.
A lot of people are getting the same error and the results from corruptioning of /data. First try factory reset from fastboot, then reboot. If it doesn't help then do a factory reset again and reboot your phone. If doesn't seen to help either then the only option left is to flash stock firmware through PC. Search the forum and you will get the desired result. Beaware that you will end up losing all your apps and SD card data.

So here's a detailed instruction for you to follow.
1. In fast boot mode connect phone to PC.
2. In CMD (adb) in PC type the command "fastboot devices" without quotes and post the reply to me.
3. In the CMD, type the command "adb erase userdata","adb erase cache" without quotes. (It will wipe all your data and SD card)
4. Now download the firmware (new firmware download it in case there may be issues with the old one you have downloaded) and also TWRP-2.7.0.0.falcon by dhacker. Copy both the files in the adb folder.
5. Rename the twrp-2.7.0.0.falcon.IMG to recovery.img
6. Connect your phone to PC in fastboot mode and flash the recovery by topping command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"without quotes.
7. On your phone scroll to recovery option and long press volume up key until the phone vibrates. The phone will boot into recovery.
8. In recovery goto advanced-file manager. And check whether your /datafilleris empty or not (it will be empty)
9. In recovery go to wipe and wipe /system /data /cache. Next reboot your phone to boot loader mode.
10. Flash any firmware from your PC through fastboot. Then reboot your phone.
If it doesn't help either reply to me, there's other workaround too.

This is the same thing a friend told me to do we did it had no luck Did it 2 times just in case I dint do it right the first time
Moto g not booting up.
I hope you have an unlocked boot loader.
The first thing you need to find out is that are your phone's partition writable and readable.
1. Download the latest CM11 nightly to your PC rename it to "CM.zip" and extract the contents to adb folder (adb folder should be in C drive i.e. C:/adb ). You will get boot. img , system (folder), and others.
1. connect your phone to PC in fastboot mode.
2.In adb type the below commands one by one without quotes. And let one command get processed before typing other.
"fastboot devices" (in response it must show you something like TJ9*****)
"fastboot erase userdata"
"fastboot erase cache"
"fastboot push C:/adb\system /system/"
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"(flash the philz recovery now)
"fastboot push C:/adb\boot.img /data/"(to verify whether /data is writable or not)
"fastboot push C:/adb\boot.img /cache/"(to verify whether /cache is writable or not)
"fastboot push C:/adb\CM.zip /data/media/0/"(to push the CM11rom to sdcard to flash it through recovery)
Then boot your phone to recovery. And see the logs, it should show
/system mounted
/data mounted
/sd-ext error mounting /sd-ext
/cache mounted
If it shows /data can't be mounted or error mounting /data. Then go to wipe and wipe /data and /sdcard and then again push CM.zip to /data/media/0/. If you don't see this error, then choose to wipe to install a new rom. After this remount /system /data /cache and flash the CM11.zip or you can flash stock firmware through mfastboot.
This method will definitely work since I, myself had this very same issue and got it resolved the very same way.
P.S. Try this method and only of you get some error then reply as I an sure it will solve your issue.

Hi forgotter! I have the same problem... won't boot with any ROM. I've followed your instructions but stil stucked on the boot logo. I will try the second method you provided now, hope that works :crying:

Didn't know why first method didn't worked for you but the second one would definitely work. If you get any error then reply to me, and yes in my second method post by mistake there are some extra space added after full stop (.) e.g. in boot. img (it is boot.img ) do please avoid that.

Don't worry your phone is fine.
Whenever adb shows m mismatched partition it's fine and usual.
I understand your problem now, I just think if I your device now , I would have repaired it within minutes. Never mind, follow the below steps .
Download the philz recovery to your PC, flash it through fastboot on your phone. Then go to recovery on your phone immediately and choose wipe-wipe data and sdcard. And then flash the stock firmware through mfastboot or install any ROM through recovery.
Anyone report which step what must i do to solve this prob

Read post #7 on page 1.
I cant push system to device. What tools must be i have?
If you can't push system to device don't worry , it's of no use at all because you'll format it before flashing the rom. But if you're flashing through recovery then make sure to push CM. zip to /sdcard/.
You need adb tools on your PC, just search Google for adb tools and download it. You need stock firmware of your phone on PC if you'd flash the rom through mfastboot and you need philz recovery ( to flash it on your phone.)
If you can't get anything or don't understand anything then do search the forum for help because all the things are already mentioned and if i had to answer it mostly would be copy-paste. But still if you need help, I am there. Just post your problem.

I'm having similar issues as everyone else here. I unlocked my bootloader following Motorola's instructions on their website, then I used Superboot to root the phone (which I don't think worked as CWM and TWRP kept asking to install SU on reboot). After that I put CM 11 M4 on sdcard and flashed.
This is where it went wrong. I rebooted and got a bootloop, so I looked around online and ended up wiping everything and trying again. It still didn't work so I followed instructions to reflash stock firmware, this didn't work either. By this time the phone had been on ages and went dead. Now it won't turn back on and won't register as charging from USB or from wall plug.
I have no idea what to do as nothing worked before hand and now I can't access it to resolve the issue.
I'm panicking atm because I'm contracted to Virgin Mobile in the UK and this voids the warranty. I just don't know what to do D:

Plug the phone to wall charger and leave it to charge for the whole night, the next when you'd restart the phone it should boot up. Sometimes the phone discharged itself to such a level that it didn't have enough juice left to show the battery charging status even.
After that follow instructions from post #7 on page 1 and paste all output commands you see. Well, the phone should boot up.

If you can't push system to device don't worry , it's of no use at all because you'll format it before flashing the rom. But if you're flashing through recovery then make sure to push CM. zip to /sdcard/.
You need adb tools on your PC, just search Google for adb tools and download it. You need stock firmware of your phone on PC if you'd flash the rom through mfastboot and you need philz recovery ( to flash it on your phone.)
If you can't get anything or don't understand anything then do search the forum for help because all the things are already mentioned and if i had to answer it mostly would be copy-paste. But still if you need help, I am there. Just post your problem.

Mismatched partition size is usual , no need to worry about that. What do you mean by UBL warning message? And yes, after you flash recovery, enter in recovery mode and wipe data and sdcard and then flash any ROM from fastboot.
And if you get into an error or solution doesn't work then post your problem but detailed so I can get to the main cause of the problem.

No OS installed! OnePlus one

Hello all.
I know there are many threads of this kind but nothing worked for me. So Please help!
I unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP and flashed SuperSU binaries. Everything was working fine.
Then I wanted to flash cm12 nightly. So i downloaded the zip file and also the Gaaps.zip file. I transfered them to the phone and booted to recovery.
1. Then instead of wiping cache i wiped the whole system i.e factory data reset. So then i tried reboot it says NO OS INSTALLED! do you want to continue? After that "Your phone is not rooted. Install SuperSU? As i don't have the SuperSU files so it just reboots to the bootscreen and stays there. I can go to the recovery and fastboot mode.
2. then i booted to recovery and went to adb sideload. I have the ADB files on my desktop and pasted the ROM.zip file to the folder.
3. Then i tried the command adb sideload ROM.zip with my phone connected. But then a lot of coding appears in the cmd window and phone stays at adb sideload.
4. When i connect my phone to my pc in recovery It comes up as "One" in the disk drives. I open it and it has a folder named TWRP and inside thata file. Nothing else. The good thing is I have a nandroid backup of my device when it had SuperSU binaries.
*the "One disappears when I go to ADB sideload in my phone*
So can I transfer the backup to my phone in a separate folder named "Backups" and install it via restore in TWRP? Or do have to do something else?
Please help! Please! :crying:

[Request] EMMC backup of G6-U10 (tutorials included)

Hi, my G6-U10 is hard bricked and has gone to QDLoader 9008 mode so i cant go to recovery, fastboot,adb mode .
i need EMMC image of a similare device (G6-U10) so i can fix it following instructions in this thread .
i dont need whole EMMC image, just first 100-200 MB .
to extract EMMC, you need to be on stock rom with root access.
to do so:
1. Enable "USB debugging" in "Developer Options". then connect your device to Windows PC.
2. download and extract ADB. then run the following command through CMD:
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/EMMC.img bs=100m count=1
note that you must enter each row separately and confirm the dialogs appeared on your device screen to grant root and adb access for pc. the option bs=100m mean that the dd command will only extract first 100MB of EMMC. and FYI, this file is only backup from system partition, not from any private files, no need to worry.
the extracted file will be in internal SD, named EMMC.img , compress it in ZIP or RAR so it will have much less size, then send it here to solve many people's problems. anybody does that, i'll appreciate.
Thanks for reading.

Thanks bro, but it's just 100bytes, not 100Mbytes. i think you used bs=100 instead of bs=100m
please consider reuploading , you are my saviour
info on the progress:
I got EMMC image thanks to @washichi :good: (download it from attachments).
then i could finally wake my device up, in the fastboot and recovery, following instructions in this thread(first post).
i can go into Fastboot mode but though i had unlocked bootloader (before), but i can only flash recovery, system(partly) and boot partitions. other partitions give me error ((Remote: Not Allowed)).
the only recovery that i could go into, was the latest TWRP 3 . in recovery i can even connect my device in MTP mode to pc and see files on the internal SD! but i was not successful with flashing roms, it always gives me error mounting cache, system, data. ADB mode is also accessible, used adb sideload to flash rom, but it didnt worked too!
i think part of internal SD is damaged and need to be fixed somehow. still havent found out how.
so, for guys who are having problems similar to me or "Internal Storage Damaged blah blah" i recommend trying to follow these steps to see if their internal SD is still flashable or not:
1. Download an official Rom for your device and unpack it using HuaweiUpdateExtractor.
2. download and extract latest (at least 1.0.32) fastboot in the same folder as extracted huawei IMG files are (Gush bless me! there's too much grammatical erros in my texts )
3. connect your device in fastboot mode (instructions above).
4. go to the directory where all extracted files place. Hold shift and right click on empty space, chose "Open command window here".
Note: you must have an unlocked bootloader to be able to continue, type this command to see if its unlocked:
Code:
fastboot oem get-bootinfo
if you're unlocked, then continue reading, if not, i dont think there is a way to find unlock key for your device.even DC unlocker cant recognize your device in fastboot and adb.
5. now that you know you have an unlocked BL, type these commands one bye one:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash aboot aboot.img
fastboot flash tz tz.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]XXX [/COLOR][COLOR="SeaGreen"]XXX[/COLOR].img
as i said before, i could only flash 3 partitions with success. but if you where able to flash all parts with success, your extremely have a chance to revive your device. at last, type fastboot reboot to see if you boot up successfully, if not, you will go again in fastboot mode or recovery mode.
for me, default recovery mode just freezes, so i flashed TWRP 3 instead of default recovery. you can try that too.
one more thing: you might not be successful to reboot into recovery, you must restart until you succeed. if you stuck in freezed recovery, open the device back, unscrew the little steel plate (it has 2 screws) and dettach the battery cord, wait 3 secs, re-attach it. i have done it more than 300 times now i dont even know where is the steel plate
FYI, EMMC image in the attachment is for G6-U10 only and probably will not work for other G6 models. if you want G6-L11 emmc, i can share it for you.
if anything was not clear for you, ask me.
@bugggmenot Everytime i insert the sd card and try to enter fastboot mode by holding the Volume+, the PC keeps beeping and refreshing the device manager, tho i can't see any hardware detected. The phone isn't recognizable as fastboot device and the LED is lighting in a blue color.
Any ideas?

Do as follows:
1. detach the battery and retach it again.
2. connect the device to pc WITHOUT holding any buttons.
3. if you go into fastboot mode, you will see a blue "Fastboot mode" in middle of texts (and Blue LED).
4. type in cmd: fastboot devices
if your device is listed, you are good to go for flashing procedure.
oh and one more important thing: install fastboot and adb drivers. it's a global driver not device specific, so install any you van find ( sorry I can't Google it for you right now).

Did everything still doesn't want to boot in fastboot mode.
Edit: I made it to the fastboot, thank you very much.

I got it to the progress you did. Was able to flash only boot.img recovery.img and like 950MB of system.img. Yet smth makes me to think that everything i do flash is being flashed in the SDcard memory not in the internal one, is it supposed to be like that?
Edit1: Tried to flash an update.zip which i made by using huawei tools extractor from the stock recovery but the verification aborted the update. Tried with CWM by using adb sideload but there was some error while sending, also tried with TWRP which seems to erase its memory everytime when i restart the phone, the adb sideload doesnt work and couldn't found the flashable zip after i pushed it in by using adb

i dont think so.
i thought like you, but to test it i went to TWRP recovery and removed SD card, Formated SD (via MiniTool Partition) and reinserted SD into device. at this level , device cant recognize SD anymore, so i reformatted SD via TWRP (i dont remember the exact path, sorry), and this time SD appeared in PC ! so i simply put flashable SlimStock and flashed it via TWRP. but it exactly took the time that it had taken before when i tried to flash SlimStock via Sideload. and in both ways, it takes about 30 min to pass the system.img flashing ! so this can be a proof that in the both ways, images are being flashed on the internal SD, not ExSD.
any way, at this point it seems that we cannot go any further. but who knows? we made a dead device into TWRP, so why not...

Well i did try flashing img files via TWRP but it allows me to modify just recovery or boot partition. Tried also making flashable zip of the partition to run it from CWM but i get stuck.
I also tried
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
and
Code:
flashing unlock
but i recieve 3 dots, maybe i should be more patient next time to see what will happen.
===========================================================================
@bugggmenot i've found the file for G6-C00 for qualcomm bootloader platform. Will they work on G6-U10???

Why not try to repartition your device?
You can you the parted binary (google will find it) and put it on your /sdcard or / (the root folder). NOT your internald memory or any other partition thats your EMMC.
Now umount ALL partitions in recovery, except for the external sdcard. Go to the commandline in the recovery and cd to the parted binary. Now typ 'parted /dev/block/mmcblk0'.
Type 'print' to see your partition table.
You can now modify your partition table (only ext2 and fat32 partitions support, BUT you can format it whit your recovery soo it will be ext4. (Dont check RM format in settings!).
Hope this will fix the flashing problem.
Hard Brick
Hello guys, i don't know if this is the right place, but do you know how to unbrick Huawei Y550 - L03 from hard brick? My pc recognizes it in the device manager just as Android adapter PCUI (COM10) but the device itself doesn't show.
Thank you in advance if you can help me please. :crying:

Accidentaly formatted all partions

I accidentally formatted all partition and now only have a TWRP. The TWRP only shows the start screen when i go to recovery.
Adb devices show me the device detected. I did a adb push and moved the stock rom 5.1.11 and my twrp recovery to the sdcard using the command adb push. I am struck here because i cannot get to the twrp screen which gives you option to install/wipe etc.
Can somebody please guide me if there is a way to recover or install the .zip files I have copied to sdcard. Thanks in advance
You need to fastboot flash the default stock rom, and then re root/install TWRP etc etc
Thank you for your response. Will that be adb fastboot flash stock.zip ? I am not sure if this would mess it up hence please confirm. Also, will it work if i use the fastboot to install twrp again and then flash the stock rom using its menu.

You need to go to this thread... https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665
Download the version of OOS you want (5.1.11) and unzip the contents in to a folder and run the flash-all.bat file and let it install to all partitions. Just follow this instructions in the thread and you will be fine.
Thank you so much for your response, but when I run this command I am getting " Waiting for device" option. I am only able to boot into twrp. I see the teamwin loading screen and its struck there. I am able to run adb commands and adb device shows the device details. I was also able to push the stock rom.zip through adb push command to /sdcard.
D:\OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_015_all_1808102118_770880-FASTBOOT>flash-all-partitions-fastboot.bat
Do you want to wipe all the data ( Reccomended )[Y/N]?y
< waiting for any device >
Thank you so much it worked when I tried. Grateful . Will donate the Dev for that bat script.

You need to be in fastboot mode.
Either adb reboot bootloader from inside android or from a powered off phone, hold Volume Up and power on.
