[Completed] [Q] Fastboot hangs and does nothing - XDA Assist

My phone is a Vodafone Smart 4 Turbo which a rebranded Coolpad 8865U.
I am trying to root it using the ro.secure=0 methods as all the other rooting exploits failed.
Fastboot seems to detect my phone well enough. I can run this command for example:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info -i 0x1ebf
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
OKAY [ 0.004s]
finished. total time: 0.004s
However if I try to flash recovery it hangs at
Code:
writing 'recovery'...
and if I try to boot from both and original or modified boot.img it hangs at
Code:
booting...
And if I try to erase something it hangs aswell.
Any ideas of what it is going on? I cannot even figure out how to put fastboot in verbose mode to see if there are any errors or anything.
BTW: All troughout this fastboot crap the phone remained perfect functional. The only change was the personal info that got deleted when I unlocked fastboot.
Also these don't work either
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem disable-console
fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem enable-console
fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem dmesg
but these do
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem disable-charger-screen
fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem enable-charger-screen
And getvar
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf getvar all
all:
finished. total time: 0.002s
returns empty.

This thread looks similar and a method is mentioned briefly http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/vodafone-smart-4-turbo-qs-t2852827
However your question may have better luck in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257421
Unfortunately there's next to no support for this device so these methods your trying may not even be legit
Good luck to you

I looked into those thread. The problem I have is not with fastboot not recognizing my phone. It does. It just hangs when it tries to boot/flash/erase.

OTA unlock lg volt ls740 boost

1st comes 1st lg ls740 this is to backup the laf partition, i recomend yall bakup,recovery an boot as well just in case
Note: This assumes you've already rooted manually or with Towelroot and know what adb/fastboot is.
First, backup your LG Download mode (laf) with this code, so you can use LG Flash if necessary.(make sure phone is on and pluged in and android debuging is enabled
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf of=/sdcard/laf.img.
Run the following code to zero out laf:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf
(i did this and my volt told me the memory was full but this still got me into fastboot
adb reboot
For whatever reason, you won't be able to access fastboot via "reboot to bootloader" like most phones, so you've got to do a key combo:
Power Off
Unplug USB
Hold Volume Up
Plug in USB
step 2
fastboot oem device-info
should look something like this ...
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
OKAY [ 0.012s]
finished. total time: 0.013s
step 3, fastboot oem unlock
should look like this,
...
OKAY [ 0.004s]
finished. total time: 0.005s
DO NOT skip this step before shutting off or rebooting the phone
WHEN YOU ARE DONE IN FAST BOOT MAKE SURE TO RESTORE THE LAF.IMG
fastboot flash laf laf.img
p.s if you backup your laf.img make sure to move it off of the internal storage to the sd card or computer or you will not be able to acsess it

What kind of unlock is this??? Does this allow sim unlock?

I'm confused. Is this to unlock the phone to use it in any carrier?
Bootloader unlock sounds like.

[SOLVED] Can’t unlock bootloader, can’t boot into the system after he has been unlock

So i have both the short story with some important explanation and the long story on what I've already tried.
Short story
So my dad bought a oneplus one 16GB from someone and the phone has a bootloop when you try the boot into the system.
I tried to unlock the bootloader, but it runned the command and it just reboots to recovery and the bootloader is still locked.
Also the tamperflag is true so that means that the bootloader has already been unlocked and is relocked.
I can't also boot from a custom recovery image because the bootloader is locked (I think it can with CM11S).
Rom: I guess it is CM12S (with the blinking Cyanogen logo at startup).
Recovery: probably the recovery from CM12S (Cyanogen recovery as text and it is a touch recovery).
Long story
So I am going to tell you my story.
My dad bought an oneplus one (16GB) from someone that had a boot loop at startup.
When he told me that I just thought that it was going to be pretty easy to fix: unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery and install a custom rom.
Now, it didn’t roll out as we both expected.
When I unlocked the bootloader it told me after 10 seconds that it was OK.
Pretty weird was that it took so long.
After some research I found that you need to reboot from the rom with adb and that you then can unlock the bootloader. On all my other devices I did that, but now I couldn’t because I wasn’t able to boot inside the rom.
After I “successfully” unlocked the bootloader I did the command “fastboot oem device-info” and it told me that the bootloader was still locked but it was tampered.
I tried after that to boot from a TWRP recovery image but i wasn't able to because the bootloader was locked.
After some research I came at a post on the oneplus forum with a guy that approximately had the same issue except that I can still go into recovery.
I founded this post.
And I first wanted to see if I couldn’t go into recovery and sideload a zip that is signed. That was signed in this thread.
As it expected because I didn’t had a custom recovery it didn’t worked and also I used this tool for adb and fastboot.
I didn’t give up by that one so easily so I tried it with this to sideload the files and I renamed it this time to update.zip. Again as expected an error but this time it was another error.
There came a bunch of errors on the phone especially cache errors and one that said that I had an outdated ADB (at least version 1.0.32).
Weirdly enough I had version 1.0.32 .
And now it tried the trick they told me here.
From the thread for windows 7 and 8 here.
I first did this without “erasing the bootloader”.
I tried this both on windows 8.1 and on windows xp with both administrator rights and I switched between 3 cables each time.
As you see in the attached zip, I correctly installed the driver, this was also the fact for the pc with windows xp.
I also verified the files but there were some that failed (also in the pictures).
It flashes the file 8974_msimage.mbn and then the phone shuts down. I tried this at least three times for each computer.
Then I founded this thread.
And tried this also and exactly the same problem as with color.
Then I tried the same with erasing the bootloader and it had the same issue and I couldn’t erase the bootloader doing to that my partition table doesn’t exist(also in the pictures).
The only thing that I only think that I can do is with a flash tool that uses also the above method but I don’t find any with that I know how to use it.
Any help is appreciated.
Ps: I attached a zip file with some pictures to make it more clear and understandable and i am also dutch, so sorry if my English is bad.

Sadly enough when I typed the command now it takes forever to answer, after more than 10 minutes it still displays that it is waiting.

Yes, i can also enter stock recovery but i am unable to boot from custom recovery through fastboot. Because the bootloader is locked.

Yes, after - + 10 seconds it says ok and it reboots the phone to the stock recovery.
When i try to flash twrp it just fails because my bootloader is locked.

My dad bought the phone from someone and the only thing i can see is cyanogen recovery. At boot i have a blinking cyanogen text. Probably it was already unlocked because the tamper flag is tampered.

Maybe my previous post was a bit confusing but it is still locked, i meant that the previous owner locked it and then relocked it.
Can you tell us the exact copy/paste and output of below command :
fastboot oem device-info

I already founded that thread and did the solution that worked for him and another solution that a guy a few posts above him mentioned. Sadly enough without any results.
Anyway, thanks for the help and all the effort you did!
I just am going to mention it here before I will do it, to avoid to make the situation more worse then it already is.
So you can enter qualcomm hsloader (connect the phone to the pc, press 5-10 seconds volume up + power, screen remains dark).
And there are two tools (which have both the same base) here and here .
Now, when I follow the guide for both tools, always when it flashes the first file (8974_msimage.mbn), after flashing the phone shuts down.
And yes, I gave it administrator rights and the drivers are properly installed.
I tried it also on windows xp (completly clean test computer, yes I have a lot of them )
Now I saw on the oneplus forum a post .
And when I tried the command "fastboot erase bootloader" it gave me the following output:
C:\Windows\System32>fastboot erase bootloader
erasing 'bootloader'...
FAILED (remote: Partition table doesn't exist
)
finished. total time: 0.006s
Well if I try this with the command to erase the kernel partition "fastboot erase boot" I think.
Well might this then work, so that the device after flashing the first file doesn't shutdown?
Again I just want to mention it here before I make the situation more worse then it already is.

Now actually i think that the partition bootloader doesn't exists but boot does (which I think containts the bootloader and the kernel).
After waiting very unpationtly -+ 24 hours I tried it.
Sadly enough again without success.

Hi,
I am stuck with a similar issue. Only the way I landed in this situation is slightly different.
Without unlocking the bootloader (I just forgot to do that!), I ran the below command.
Code:
fastboot format cache
It erased the cache but failed to write to it because the device is still locked.
On rebooting, the device was stuck overnight on the "Cyanogen" display screen.
I forcibly powered it off using the power button.
Then I fastbooted it.
Then from the command prompt I tried to run a few commands - see output below

The command for unlocking the bootloader is "fastboot oem unlock" not "fastboot unlock oem".
Also sometimes when you type a commando that isn't recognised by the phone it can take forever.
So, I think that the commando "fastboot flashing unlock" doesn't exist.
Anyway I think I know now for sure that the previous owner erased and/or formatted the cache.

Bootloop after installing an Factory Image for Android 9.0

Hi, i just bought a Google Pixel from Ebay an tried to install an factory image for Android 9 from the Google Website. After fastboot the flash-all.sh (ive got Ubuntu) it got stuck a on the bootscreen (The Google Logo flashes in an instance and the Screen goes black again). Unfortunally the device is locked again (bootloader ist locked), so adb is not working. fastboot works but when i install some other factory images from the google website the problem with the flashing bootscreen reappears.
Loading into bootloader works:
Product/Variant: sailfish-US-PVT
Serial Number FA72H0300560
CPU: MSM8996SG-AB 0x10001
UFS: 32 GB Samsung
DRAM:4096MB Hynix LPDDR4
Boot-slot: a
Console: DISABLED
Secure Boot: PRODUCTION
Device is LOCKED
Could anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
Not sure but I think U can try booting into TWRP using "fastboot flash recovery twrp" command in CMD and than switch boot slot to b, my pixel is in the same situation - I can't boot into slot a and switching to b works
oh sry, the command is "fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img"
Thanks for your help, but it didn't work.
When I try to fastboot with following commands, it says:
sudo ./fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-sailfish.img
Code:
Downloading 'boot.img' OKAY [ 0.785s]
booting (bootloader) Command is not supported.

sudo ./fastboot flash recovery twrp

I have Ubuntu with local platform-tools, so the commands look a little bit different...
Double-check the checksum of the downloaded file.
Open the flash-all.sh file in a text editor, and manually run each of the flash commands individually. See if any of them throw an error.
You might also try to install the OTA.
I tried the first command in the flash-all.sh with the same results:

I will try out the OTA tomorrow. Does anyone know how to handle the payload.bin in to OTA.zip under a Linux-System?
ADB seems not be working. SO adb sideload ota_file.zip, like its mentioned on the google website seems to be also no option....

I tried the first command in the flash-all.sh with the same results:

You need to re-unlock your bootloader first, then. Try fastboot flashing unlock .
No luck.

Did U opened CMD from the folder in which the TWRP file is located? Just type in CMD: "fastboot boot", and after "boot" type "twr" and press TAB button, program will locate the file itself.

He's using linux. The reason his flashes have been unsuccessful is because the bootloader is locked.
Tanks for your efforts so far...
Just for clarification: The initial plan was to root my device, according to the XDA-Guide for rooting an Pixel XL Android 9.0 (with the Files for my "Sailfish"-Pixel) https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-pixel-xl-android-9-0-pie-unlock-t3825866
First when I bought the Pixel the "OEM Unlock"-Option in the Developers-Menu was greyed out.
So i tried out, beneath some other guides, the XDA-Guide for unlocking a Verizon Pixel and it worked. https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/how-to-unlock-bootloader-verizon-pixel-t3796030
So I thought its an VerizonPixel, installed an Verizon Image from the Google Website, got always the message at bootup that an unlocked bootloader is some sort of threat, closed the Bootloader and the flashing bootscreen-problem began…

[ROM] Mi 6 stuck in fastboot

Please help me I screwed up! I tried flashing from Global Beta Back to Stable beta (ROM V10.4.1.0.PCAMIXM), I got bootloader unlocked and after a restart, I forgot to turn on USB Debugging, and when I flashed it I've got an error at the end (failed to check sparse crc). The thing is i thing I've chosen flash and lock and my bootloader might be locked again because every time I try to flash again I get echo Missmatching image and device and it's flashing forever. I tried to unlock it again but i get a fail verifying the device at 50%. So now I am stuck in fastboot, I can't get the phone to recovery mode. Is there any fix? Please help me I am not that not tech-savvy.
I guess bootloader is not locked!

Following the answer.
fastboot oem device-info does not work for me
Code:
> fastboot oem device-info
FAILED (remote: 'Command not supported in default implementation')
fastboot: error: Command failed
And i get the same result for any fastboot oem command, even when i type random things
Almost every "generic" commands such as fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability does not work either, giving me a different message
Code:
> fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability
FAILED (remote: 'Unrecognized command flashing get_unlock_ability')
fastboot: error: Command failed
The only commands that worked so far are fastboot reboot-fastboot and fastboot reboot-bootlader
Code:
> fastboot reboot-fastboot
Rebooting into fastboot OKAY [ 0.000s]
< waiting for any device >
Finished. Total time: 8.642s
I have a WW device ( i think its a new one ), and i never unlocked the bootloader before, so am i missing something here ??
I really want to check those values to confirm that the device hasnt been unlocked and a few other things.

You're in userspace fastboot. Reboot to the bootloader
The one you get to by using volume up and power is bootloader
From bootloader `fastboot reboot fastboot` -> userspace fastboot
From userspace fastboot, select reboot bootloader -> bootloader
`adb reboot fastboot` -> userspace fastboot
`adb reboot bootloader` -> bootloader
The bootloader also needs to be unlocked for most commands to work.
