Long story short I bricked my phone when trying to flash recovery using toolkit. Now my phone won't turn on and recovery is gone as well. Somehow my PC can recognize the phone in fastboot mode although there's nothing showing on the screen.
So I tried the method in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/wrong-kernel-black-screen-fastboot-adb-t2835696
It shows I flashed everything and it shows green color in the tool but when I checked the partitions, boot.img, recovery.img, userdata.img, system.img, etc are still broken. At that time the bootloader was still unlocked.
Since my computer can still see the phone in fastboot so I tried to flash the original image in fastboot. Again everything went through with no error but the phone still wouldn't turn on and the partitions are still same broken/corrupted. However the bootloader became locked after this. So now I end up with no more solutions. Since bootloader says locked(although boot.img is actually corrupted) I can't flash or do anything in fastboot command.
So I guess I'm really SOL right now... My only hope right now is maybe there will be USB JTAG or Nand flasher but I don't know if anyone can repair that right now.
Any suggestions?
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase recovery
Now use twrp or cwm or whatever
fastboot boot recovery nameofrecovery.img
If your phone boots to recovery you may consider running e2fsck against data and cache partitions through adb shell
Best of luck

Fastboot OEM lock is where you went wrong. Anyway see this thread.
OK I did this procedure yesterday but did not relock (I know it says to on the moto site but the guide I read said not to).
Anyway, pressing power and vol up will force a reboot. Unsure what will happen when it boots back up though...!
You should be fine. Only trying to relock will cause this error.
To get back to fastboot after a bad lock do this.
Power button and volume up, this will reboot the device.
As soon as the screen turns back on holds down power and volume down. In about 60 seconds your device should go to fastboot. Do not let go until it gets there.

What the hell is going on?
you need to read this thread

The exact thread I linked to...(-__-)'
I followed instruction from motorla dev support site.
"h**p://developer.motorola.com/products/software/?pubid=987654"
It uses command "fastboot oem lock"! So why did locking brick the device?
here it is:
Device Software Images
Select the appropriate device software image to download and re-lock your device. If you need to find your build number on your Motorola device go to Settings and About Phone or About Tablet.
The commands to flash and re-lock your device are as follows:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
Note: If no userdata.img file is present in your download, please issue the command:
fastboot erase userdata
The Moto instructions are for locking the device back to it's own image. You are not using your device's own image. Every guide I've seen on here tells you not to relock, regardless of what Moto say. Believe the devs.
Thanxs
I now believe the devs......
Thanks for the reply. Sent the beast out to moto Canada today.

Try making or obtaining a factory cable which its different from an OTG cable. Start with the two links below. This might save the day.

Hi, I have unrooted Nexus somehow its not booting up no just shoing google Logo. I can only enter in dast boot mode and bootloader is locked hence can not load a new rom to it. Tried to unlock the loaded but unable to do so. Used most of the tools in the forumn but sill no success. Its still not boots into android
Any help will be appritiated.
Can you enter recovery? Like stock recovery or clockworkmod. You should be able to.
If you have stock recovery navigate to it using bootloader, then to active the menu press both the power button and the volume keys ( sorry I don't know which one). Wipe data and factory reset. Select it. BUT THIS WILL CLEAR ALL DATA.
If you have clockworkmod again boot into it like above and select wipe data factory reset. This will not delete you data.
If you have TWRP you can for the same as clockworkmod. But go to menu "wipe" and select wipe data factory reset.
Hope this helps,

Have you tried Wug's Nexus Toolkit? There's an option in the program for this type of thing. It'll flash full stock on your phone but at least it'll be working again, and from there you can flash CWM and root the phone as usual.
It's in the Nexus S Android Development forum, sorry I can't post links yet since I don't have the 10 posts needs.

I am 101% sure that you are missing something while unlocking either the drivers or the fastboot files.
Otherwise nothing can stop you from unlocking. Finally when you unlock, flash the factory image via fastboot and then proceed again towards rooting and customs. :good:
can u please tell me what method you are using to unlock boot loader?
follow these steps:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
Hello
I have a Motorola Xoom from Verizon, and this is the issue.
When I turn on, the tablet it's stuck in M logo screen, I already read almost any information about this issue, but still I can't use my xoom.
I already done this: the bootloader is already unlock
a) Files From MZ600 HRI39
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
b) used RSD method
c) used recovery method too
I had used every method on this forum to recover my Xoom, and nothing seems to work, at this time I don't know what else do.
adb commands doesn't work for me, only with fastboot and RSD is visible my device.
At this time I accept any sugestions, Since apply a factory reset, or install a new Android version
I have anexus 5 that is stuch on the google logo or is stuck in a boot lopp than it gets frozen and when plugegd in the battery logo turns on. I can go into recovery (twrp), but everything on my phone ghas been erased so theres nothing to flash. I tried to use a Nexus 5 toolkit to stock flash but it always comes up with an error. When i try something on twrp it says unable to mount....and give like 5-6 different thinbgs that it cant mount to. Everytime i try to flaash a new bootloader or something from that toolkit the phone turns off and goes into the battery logo. When i use twrp and try to do anything the phone just restarts into recovery. Is there any way i could push factory images to the phone or something else.
BTW, i dont know mucgh in terms of doing stuff with adb and terminal and all that so please be simplistic with the answers. Thanks in advance,.

Go to twrp and factory reset it and see if it works..
Write failure means that the eMMC might have died which can only be solved by replacing the mobo.

You're being too vague for us to help you. What commands did you enter at the terminal? Word for word what was the error message(s) you received? Did you try flashing the factory image using both the primary and backup bootloader?

So i followed the guide in the link posted above. This:
fastboot flash bootloader C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/system.img
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.)
fastboot flash boot C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/boot.img
fastboot flash recovery C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
Now, i can flash the boot.img, the system.img, the radio, but it hangs up on some of the other ones and it says "erasing..." than i have to stop it casue it doesnt work. Also, when i go into recovery it shows a spinning android logo.
Edit: Ive gotten all the way to "fastboot flash system system.img", but it gets stuck on my phone and says "erasing..."

You're not letting it finish. That's why you're having problems. It can take a long time. It also wouldn't hurt to use the flash-all.bat script instead of flashing each individually.
Hi,
So, I'm a bit new to this device and also helping a friend so not sure what actually caused this, but here is the issue I am having.
Whenever I turn on the phone, it boots only to fastboot mode. This is also true whenever plugging the charger to the phone.
Bootloader is still locked, and trying to flash stock rom using pc tool or fastboot shows that it is successful but has no effect. I've tried this multiple times.
I could boot directly to twrp, using fastboot boot and twrp shows that it can't mount any internal partition.
Issuing df command from twrp shows no partition other than tmpfs. Mount shows similar output, with the addition of recovery partitions.
Anything I could do about this phone?
Bootloader never locks in mi4i.
Try flashing TWRP instead of just booting into it
use
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
After flashing, allow modifications
and repair file system for system and data partitions to ext4 from wipe menu

Well, when I check in fastboot oem device-info
Device unlocked is false.
Doesn't that mean it's bootloader is locked?
Also I did tried flashing TWRP, but it won't stick. After reboot the modification just seems gone.
Mi4i bootloader is unlocked by default as far I knew. Did you try
fastboot oem unlock
to unlock it?
Did repair file system not work when you tried it from twrp?
