Shield doesnt boot anymore - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So guys, i've done it. I bring my first device.
Yesterday i tried to downgrade via fastboot with this recovery images https://developer.nvidia.com/gameworksdownload (yes is choose the right ones)
flash boot, check
flash recovery, check
flash system, failes (insufficient memory)
erase sytem, check
flash system, failed (insufficient memory)
flash twrp, check, but no usb mouse so
flash cwm, check
factory reset, check
rom.zip and gapps on sd card, check
reboot, boot into bootloader, no chance
It boots everytime normal, so i cant enter the recovery.
Connect it to charger, check
charging led lights up, check
Go sleeping, check
doenst boot into bootloader :/
Back to charger
Now I wanted to try it again and i wont even boot.
Anyone has an Idea? Or is it really bricked?

Can you still see the device listed using fast boot?

No, because I can't enter the bootloader or the recovery. But it boots again
...

The same thing just happened to me. Unfortunately, I am still trying to figure it out. I flashed a "stock" recovery that I had found in order to be able to take the OTAs. Now when I boot, I just stay stuck on the NVIDIA splash screen.....been there for hours.

Same here.....

Mine is working again. Booting in the bootloader is a little bit tricky.
Have you tried to flash all? Boot.img, recovery.img and system.img?
...

I had the same issue. But after trying to get into the bootloader using POWER + VOLUME DOWN for about 15 minutes it finally went to the bootloader and I was able to re-flash it. I have a feeling it's the cludgy power button.

You do not need to flash the stock recovery to take the ota. I have taken 2 otas now on custom recovery without any issue and without loosing root. Just an FYI.

I just did a factory reset under lollipop, locked boot-loader rooted and it rebooted to the green android screen then dropped into CWM and asked to fix root. I said no, then it went to the nvidia boot logo and it is stuck. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Edit: nevermind, I just powered it off after about 20 minuets and it hung again. When I plugged it into my pc, it finally poped into the setup/welcome screen. Pretty weird. Heart attack averted

[Q] Yet Another Potential Brick

Hello,
Earlier today I installed BAKED ROM on my AT&T HTC ONE XL that was at the time running CM 10.1 After having some issues with wifi not working I decided to restore from my backup made in CWR when installing CM 10.1 on my phone. After the restore finished i was stuck in a bootloop. So i went back into CWR to re install the BAKED ROM. Once i cleared drive i came to realize that i somehow deleted the .zip files for the ROM on my phone and no longer had a ROM to install. After that i decided that I would mount my phone from CWR so i can transfer the .zip to my phone and then install. After realizing i need to use TWRP to be able to mount and transfer files i was going to flash over TWRP in fastboot. My issue currently is that my phone is powered off after telling it to shutdown in bootloader, and i can not get it to turn back on or to boot into bootloader so that i can flash TWRP. Hopefully i am missing something small here. Any advise is appreciated.
Thank You

hold the power button down for about 15 seconds. wait for 5 seconds, then press the power button and volume down at the same time after a few seconds you should get the bootloader screen.
does the led come on when you're charging it?

Sadly based on my knowledge and experience(I learned this the hard way by taking the ATT OTA) if the led doesn't come on while charging and you cant access your bootloader your phone is sadly dead. However you can double check to see if its your cord and if it is not then call HTC if device is still under warranty. They replaced the internals of mine and recieved it back at no charge.
If I have helped in any way hit the Thanks button please.
Why did you "need" to go to TWRP to mount SD? Clockworkmod has had SD mount fixed for some time now, hasn't it?
Leave the phone on wall charger (not connected to computer) overnight or 8 Hrs or so, and see if you get any LED's or can get into bootloader. If you were only messing with ROMs and recovery, I don't see how you can be bricked (as long as anything you were trying to flash was for the EVITA). The battery may just have run down while you were messing with the device.

Well when i went into clockworkmod and told it to mount SD it did not work, i have all of my drivers installed properly so it couldn't be a driver issue. So i figured that i would just flash over TWRP and use mount to usb as a second shot. I will have to try and leave it plugged in later after work. Yes the ROM that i installed was for the EVITA, it was running fine except the wifi wouldnt turn on.

If/when you get back up and running, if still on CWM, make sure its up to date. I think the SD mount was fixed quite some time ago.

When i came home from work and plugged it in the red LED light came on. After letting it charge for about 5 hours i tried to access the bootloader by pressing power down for 15 seconds, then waiting 5, and then power and volume down, to no result. Only when holding down power for the first 15 seconds the soft on screen keys did flash

After holding the power button down and let the capacitive keys flash 6 times. The 6 flashes means a hard reset and it's about to start rebooting. Let go of the power button and immediately hold volume down. It should take you into the bootloader. Then you can fastboot flash TWRP.

Glad you got it working.
What hboot are you on? If you are on one of the newer ones, not 1.09, and don't have s-off you have to manually flash the boot.img through fastboot after installing the ROM. That sounds like it might be your issue.

Agreed, i did forget to flash to boot image during my excitement to a working phone again, even so, if i hadn't flashed the boot image why is it that my phone was actually able to start up the rom and go through phone system setup?

because the rom you flashed is based on CM so it was compatible enough to boot but not have everything working as it should. if you don't flash the boot.img, the previously used kernel would still be used.
The ROM was running and i was able to use my phone. Then i flashed over the boot.img for my rom and now it doesnt boot up it is stuck at the Cyanogen Mod loading screen

boot to recovery, wipe everything (cache, dalvik, system, factory reset), reflash the rom you want to use, then reboot to bootloader and fastboot flash boot boot.img extracted from the rom you just flashed.
Not sure where you went wrong but that will get you booting. To avoid having to fastboot flash boot boot.img everytime, you can S-OFF.

I will have to look into the S-OFF. As of right now i wiped everything, installed rom, installed gaps, went to bootloader flashed boot.img and now just waiting to see if it will start up

You can also use the flash image GUI app to flash a boot image in Android right before you boot to recovery to flash the ROM. But I would definitely look into s-off. It's a very easy process and then you don't ever have to worry about the boot.img at all.

[Q] Is my phone really dead beyond repair?

Hi,
Today my phone was drained and I left it charging from my laptop. 3-4 hours later I tried to boot it but with no luck.
Also now it was very warm. After some trial and error - and possibly because the phone now was cooler - I was able to boot into fastboot.
But I can't get past the HTC logo. In fastboot I have tried to reflash the boot.img from CM10.2. I have also reflashed a recovery - but still
I can't boot into recovery or CM.
I also tried to unlock the phone but when doing so, I don't get send to the last screen, where I actually unlock the phone (it was already unlocked, it was just a test)
My suspicion is that the internal storage has been fried when the phone overheated - since it seems like that fastboot says it's writing but in fact I doubt that the phone actually wrote anything.
How can I know? Apart from the dead phone, all my pictures are lost in there too.
I would love a little help...
Frederik
In bootloader menu (that with fastboot) you can go to recovery.
Now recovery is broken. Re-flash or flash another recovery. you will now when it's ok. It let you do your work.
In that same menu you have Factory reset. But this erase all in your phone (and SD card)!
Try reflashing stock recovery... Let it do what it needs to do in recovery and then flash whatever custom recovery you have.

[Q] One Mini Unable to flash recovery "IMAGE UPDATE ERROR"

Hi, I have a unlocked HTC One Mini S-ON, not sure if root is still there.
I had it loaded with One-Hybrid-Rom, which used to work fine.
Whenever the phone runs out of battery and I recharge it, after trying to reboot, I always get bootloader.
I have to reboot boatloader 100 times before I finally get the HTC screen and the Rom boots up.
Once the rom is loaded, the phone works fine.
Also, in bootloader, I can NOT enter recovery. When I select "Recovery", it gets back to the same bootloader screen.
So I tried flashing the recovery partition with all kinds of versions of twrp and cwm.
The phone is perfectly connected with adb, fastboot. I use fastboot flash firmware to try and flash the recovery, but it ALWAYS gives me the same error, it is able to send the file to the phone perfectly, but when it starts writing I get "IMAGE UPDATE ERROR".
I have tried literally everything to get the recovery partition working again, but all fails.
As I said, once the phone is booted up, it is working fine...
Is there a fix for this issue? It is just impossible to reboot the phone 100 times before the rom loads.
Thanks a lot guys.

No one?
No-one willing to help me on an unflashable recovery partition?
Sometimes phone boots into modded OS and runs perfectly, but mostly (99 out of 100 times) it just reboots to bootloader,
unable to enter recovery.
When flashing recovery (I tried all possible recoveries) via fastboot, it connects, but then I get "Failed, image update error"..;
I would really like to use this phone again...
It is S-ON, Unlocked, Hboot-2.21
Thanks.

stuck in loop, possibly a different kind of loop

I was trying to fix my girlfriends nexus 5 that was doing the restart loop after an update. Everything seemed to go fine. Unlocked the bootloader, etc. Flashed the newest rom (6.0.1 (MMB29S) ce1d670f61061c3902f3997510ea55d7 6bfcdfa4f4840898e5d76fa044f5e6a0f71343bf) and then something obviously went wrong (not quite sure, dont think i touched anything) and it's now stuck in a different kind of loop that only loops while it's plugged in. Ive uploaded a video to youtube, but since im a new user i cant actually link it properly yet. Hopefully this wont annoy any mods, I promise it's not spam. youtube . be / yNSoiTPnGZw
Is there any way to get it to stay on for more than a couple seconds to retry the flashing?
Any help is appreciated.

First i followed the guide here on xda to unlock the bootloader(guide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905), installed twrp, which went fine. Then i realized that i couldnt (or didnt realize how to via command line) to copy the stock rom and install it via twrp, so then i followed this guide here on xda (tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701) with the factory img (6.01 hammerhead), got to this point in the guide: ★After everything finished, select "Recovery" using the volume buttons. then it stalled out,turned off and now just cycles on and offf through the google logo with the lock picture or if i hold down the volume button it will go into the bootloader briefly then restart, rinse repeat.

Have u tried messing with the power button, there are a lot of issues on the nexus 5 with the power button causing loops, simply from getting stuck, try playing with the power button a little and see of that helps, it might just need to be replaced
Wait, did u flash the factory img with twrp, or did u flash it using fastboot?

in the end fastboot, since i coulndt see how i could copy the img over to install via twrp
im pretty sure the button is fine, since it was cycling from the ota update install, then was working fine unlocking the bootloader, but after the flash, it crapped the bed.
Different problem
I had a problem where the google logo keeps on booting up with a slight vibration.This started to happen when my was dropped.I initially thought that was a software issue and thought of installing new ROM's but eventually my device was not detected :crying:
So i took it to repair shop near my house and they said it would cost 2500
I did some google research and found the reason was due to the power button being stucked during the fall.I got that repaired and my device is good to go

ok, took it into a shop, got the power button fixed. It must have been on the way out because literally one minute it worked and the second it didnt. now i think ive got it narrowed down. it's saying it's unable to mount /persist. ive tried the various fixes:
e2fsck/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
and
make_ext4fs/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
but all i get is a not found error. not sure what to do from here on.
success!! i ended up stumbling on a bit how to restore the persist partition i didnt try. got a custom rom installs and everything works. thanks to everyone who tried to help!!
stuck in bootloop while flashing cataclysm rom
i tried to flash cataclysm rom in my n5..i unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery using TWRP and flash cataclysm rom following the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...s-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905...after that it was stuck in bootloop...i tried to open recovery but it wont open anymore it will only go back to loop....how can open the recovery? is it safe to flash CWM recovery?..tnx in advance..
When it was stuck in the loop, I had to hold vol up and down with the power button (wait a few secs until it was completely off) then reboot holding down + power till it opened the bootloader. if that doesnt work, try reflashing the bootloader via fastboot. I only found out i couldnt mount the persist partition by looking at the terminal window in twrp after trying to install a rom which kept it in the boot loop. I then used the cmd: make_ext4fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist to rebuild it.

I need help. I relocked my bootloader, and now my phone (OP7P) won't even turn on

So over the past day I had rooted my oneplus 7 pro and all was going well until I decided to delete the netflix stock application. Then I restarted my phone from holding the power button and pressing restart and then I booted into fastboot. Everytime I pressed start it would send me back to fastboot but I was able go to twrp recovery. Stupidly, I wiped the whole phone thinking I had no other options. Then after that, I found a setting in advanced that allowed me to leave recovery mode I think? Whatever it was, I was booted back into the oneplus start screen and reset up my phone. Then I tried to re-root my phone and couldn't get it to work because it said the magisk zip file was corrupt. Then I just decided to give up and go back to stock.
Little did I no, you are NOT supposed to relock the bootloader, because that is exactly what I did. After doing that, I got a message saying my phone was corrupt and I looked up quick solution and it said to press my volume buttons and power buttons. Now my phone won't even turn on. I am freaking out right now, knowing that my phone is probably bricked and I am going to have to pay probably a third of what I even paid for this phone to get it fixed. When I plug my phone into my pc the device is shown as "QUSB_BULK_CID:0404_SN:3BB285D7". If any of you guys can help, I'm all ears.
edit: I meant I locked oem/bootloader. Also, I got the phone to power on. It is in a bootloop where the oneplus logo shows up and then it gives me the message "Your device is corrupt. it can't be trusted and will not boot"
edit 2: After two hours, I finally fixed it. I downloaded the MSM tool and found the qualcomm drivers and after a few trial and errors, I finally got it to work

U probably should have flashed stock firmware before relocking the bootloader
As long as you can boot into fastboot you should be good. Make sure you have correct drivers etc etc. Boot into fastboot and just boot into twrp, don't flash. Wipe data, system, vendor, dalv, cache. Recheck on what to delete and what order because it has to be the correct things and I might be mixed up off the top of my head, delete them in twrp. Then boot back into twrp after all that and reflash your custom rom. Take note if your ****s bricked you wont be able to install the zip via regular twrp swipe, you will have to use twrp sideload feature with adb and install from pc and install it that way. If that doesn't work at all just do a complete reflash of stock firmware via fastboot. Reflashing custom should work though I got mine out of a brick this way. As long as fastboots working you can get out of anything. Also Linux is 100x better than other OSs for this stuff.

Wipe -> ADVANCED -- select system + vendor -> SWIPE TO WIPE
reboot bootloader
fastboot boot back into twrp
-- then --
Format data, Wipe cache & dalvik-cache
Flash ROM.
Then reboot system. Boom.
Remember you will most likely have to flash the ROM via sideload. As transferring will not work in a bricked phone.

As long as you can boot into fastboot you should be good. Make sure you have correct drivers etc etc. Boot into fastboot and just boot into twrp, don't flash. Wipe data, system, vendor, dalv, cache. Recheck on what to delete and what order because it has to be the correct things and I might be mixed up off the top of my head, delete them in twrp. Then boot back into twrp after all that and reflash your custom rom. Take note if your ****s bricked you wont be able to install the zip via regular twrp swipe, you will have to use twrp sideload feature with adb and install from pc and install it that way. If that doesn't work at all just do a complete reflash of stock firmware via fastboot. Reflashing custom should work though I got mine out of a brick this way. As long as fastboots working you can get out of anything. Also Linux is 100x better than other OSs for this stuff.
