[Q] Flashing boot.img and unrooting.

Hey..
I have tried almost everything now. What can be done when i cannot restore my nexus s to original unrooted state. I have pinpointed problem to boot.img file that just refuses to flash.
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (7936 KB)... OKAY [ 1.673s]
writing 'boot'... FAILED (remote: Write Fail)
finished. total time: 1.682s
Nandroid restore won't work either.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If so follow download Odin from the dev section.

Thanks. Do you know what driver that download mode in nexus s should use? I've downloaded new pc suite from samsung and still with no luck.
I'm using windows 7 64bit home premium.

Download the Google USB drivers from the SDK.
Pretty sure that's all you need.

It will only show up in Odin if you're in download mode. Are you in download mode?

Umi X2 bootloop

Hi all,
I'm trying for days to get my Umi X2 running again.
Momentarily I see the Umi screen, followed bij the start screen where it says android.
Then I see for a few seconds the menu where you can select the language and then reboots.
I tried using Shuame, SP Flash tool and MTK Droid Tools. Nothing seems to work.
Via ADB sideload I can push a package but this gets always aborted.
I used Shuame to push the CWM 6.0.3 recovery to the phone. It states that it worked, but when I reboot to Recovery I can only get to the Factory recovery. Here you can only update software instead of installaing complete zip images.
I read about a guy who had the somewaht same issue. He said that he fumbled around with Shuame and suddenly had a recovery menu of Shuame on his Device.
ADB shell works, but I can;t get to my SDCARD as it says no device found. When I run ADB Devices nothing returns.
I already tried adding my USB device to the ini-file of ADB, to no avail.
Can someone help me get my device running again.

i don't have custom recovery installed.
and i don't have a memory card.
what i need to do if i want to install odexed rom install.
does custom recovery installation involves rooting phone?
is it not possible to flash unrooted phones?
update:
i did
fastboot flash boot boot.img
from the boot.img file from odexed rom zip.
Is my warranty still intact?
what i did by flashing the boot partition?
boot.img is only 8 MB what is the other content present in the rom zip file and how its used?
thanks,

OK I'll spend some time here so you can understand. Warranty can be checked in most phones with locked bootloaders . ours is not locked. Bootloader locked means no change can be made unofficially by us.
The only way they can find warranty on our phone is if you use official root method.
For this purpose we have unofficial root method.
Now about partitions. /boot is the kernel. Its like drivers for your hardware.
/system is the os. It is either rooted or unrooted like in windows having admin account or normal account.
You can either use an OS which has already admin account by using a rooted ROM or you can use a limited unrooted ROM and then root it thereby making it an admin account.
Now recovery is a mini OS which will help you to recover your OS in case something is wrong. Stock recovery has limited options and allows only official updates. Custom recovery has more options and allows unofficial updates like our prerooted already admin OS/ROM.
Finally fast boot is like your Intel BIOS. Whatever happens as long as it is working you're saved. All other things like recovery, boot, system can be modified from here.
Now you flashed boot.img using fast boot and if you got a success message you're good. Use a recovery image in one of the xolo play threads and flash it using the instructions provided there.
This is required for you to install ROM.
Finally, don't worry about warranty. In case you ever need warranty, follow instructions in my ROM post about warranty. Where you can flash the ROM and recovery that came with the phone. So no worries and good luck.
Edit: for you, since you're so worried, simply install cwm recovery, then install stock odexed ROM, install build.prop.zip then reinstall stock recovery and you're like how u purchased the phone.

Huawei P8 (L09) bricked TWRP no OS

I tried to do reset my phone for battery issues. The thing is that it seems i don't have operating system now and i can't flash the phone because TWRP is the only loader and it doesn't recognizes the update app. Any idea to install at least a custom rom via TWRP or any way to unbrick the phone? Thanks. Any other detail you need please ask me. It is the first time i need help to fix a phone.

If you know the version of the rom, simply download that version stock rom and then extract from it the recovery using Huawei extractor tool and flash that recovery using adb. After that put the stock rom in a dload folder and put it on your sdcard or internal memory after that turnoff the device hold power and vol up and vol down at the same to make the flash process start and flash the stock rom. Sorry I am on the road and quite busy otherwise I would have written a detailed guide. But if you Google what I suggested you will find the tools needed to make it work. If still you can't manage to make it work let me know. After 2 days I would be around a pc to write a better guide.

You need to make sure your bootloader is unlocked otherwise it won't work. If your bootloader is indeed unlocked then it could be a PC communication issue try to reinstall drivers of the phone, even better try it on another PC/Laptop with a fresh install of drivers and applications needed.

That's normal, in order to see your device using adb commands it needs to be turned on and working properly also the developer mode needs to be enabled in order to see your device code serial number so in other words it's not possible at your current situation.
Regarding the device drivers just connect the device to the PC and let it auto install the drivers needed make sure Hisuite package is installed before that.
The only commands you can use at your current case with the phone in bootloader mode is only fastboot commands. So just try to flash the stock recovery like before and hopefully it will work out. If it does try to flash the same stock rom using the dload method. I cannot at the Moment give you a step by step I am really sorry but if you google the things you need you will find it easily.
Edit:
Similar issue maybe it can help you.

Need help for soft brick (eRecovery not working)

What I have done
I unlocked the bootloader of my Honor 6x using the testpoint method
I installed TWRP and Magisk
I decided that I was not satisfied with the stock OS and wanted to install a custom ROM
I forgot to make a backup using TWRP before flashing
I tried to flash LineageOS but it did not work and caused a bootloop (the boot animation shows for about 5 minutes and then reboots)
Using Huawei eRecovery to restore the device was not possible, and it returns the message of "Getting package info failed".
This is likely due to the website "http://update.hicloud.com/" being down
Cannot download any stock ROMs as the downloads I found are all from "http://update.hicloud.com/"
This is the only thread I found about the website being down: link
After some digging I found an old ROM (EMUI 4) that I can use, and flashed it using TWRP
The system booted up just fine after that, but the system looked really old and I wanted to update it
I found an update file and tried to install it using the dload method, which installed through the Huawei recovery just fine.
The phone rebooted and now bootloops to the Huawei eRecovery everytime.
I thought of flashing TWRP again so that maybe I can flash the old rom again, but it does not work and returns the following errors.
command: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
error: Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'image verification error')
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
error: Writing 'recovery_ramdisk' FAILED (remote: 'partition length get error')
Questions
What can I do in this situation with only have access to fastboot commands and the Huawei eRecovery?
Should I just wait for the update website to come back up so that the eRecovery will work and I can install the latest OS from there? Will that ever happen?

hey i can help ! which version of twrp are you trying to flash ?

The update website isn't going to come back anytime soon. But if you just don't mind opening your device again(you need to access the test point), there's a fix. this method doesn't just need anything. even if your device is hard bricked, it can get you back running. This was described in a youtube video with working links based on a forum on xda.

I got a similar problem recently but I flashed update.zip of emui 8 - > Bootlooped - > factory reset with twrp - > successfully booted but doesn't get past the setup screen. Fix : flashed a gsi treble image(based on android 10) - > working perfect except for camera and volte.

My bad , I thought the update website to be huawei's official one(something like update.hicloud and all isn't it?). Well, thanks for the information but I still prefer gsi. It's buttery smooth .
And one more thing, if you follow the youtube video I mentioned, you don't need any gsi. You can get your device back on stock EMUI 5.

I tried using that website but I wasn't able to figure out how to use it. So just left it. Did you try the method which I described earlier?

I haven't tried to use the method you posted yet, because it is a bit more lengthy and complicated. If the method I was using does not work I'll use the video and let you know how it goes. Thanks!

Well, just clear these things:
Is your bootloader still unlocked?
Did you try using another recovery image instead of the one you are getting error for?

My bootloader is still unlocked, yes. However, I did not try to flash another recovery image, as I was not sure where I could find one that worked. I forgot which image I used at first but it had worked the first time, so that was why I did not bother finding a different recovery. Do you have a suggestion for a recovery to install?

I'm attaching one that works with emui 8 try using it (Remember you have to flash it to recovery_ramdisk).

Well after reading your post 1 again, I think there's no such partition as recovery_ramdisk(because it will be there only from android 8). So find a recovery in google which works on hi6250 devices with emui 4. That should work. Update me with the result

What I have done
I unlocked the bootloader of my Honor 6x using the testpoint method
I installed TWRP and Magisk
I decided that I was not satisfied with the stock OS and wanted to install a custom ROM
I forgot to make a backup using TWRP before flashing
I tried to flash LineageOS but it did not work and caused a bootloop (the boot animation shows for about 5 minutes and then reboots)
Using Huawei eRecovery to restore the device was not possible, and it returns the message of "Getting package info failed".
This is likely due to the website "http://update.hicloud.com/" being down
Cannot download any stock ROMs as the downloads I found are all from "http://update.hicloud.com/"
This is the only thread I found about the website being down: link
After some digging I found an old ROM (EMUI 4) that I can use, and flashed it using TWRP
The system booted up just fine after that, but the system looked really old and I wanted to update it
I found an update file and tried to install it using the dload method, which installed through the Huawei recovery just fine.
The phone rebooted and now bootloops to the Huawei eRecovery everytime.
I thought of flashing TWRP again so that maybe I can flash the old rom again, but it does not work and returns the following errors.
command: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
error: Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'image verification error')
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
error: Writing 'recovery_ramdisk' FAILED (remote: 'partition length get error')
Questions
What can I do in this situation with only have access to fastboot commands and the Huawei eRecovery?
Should I just wait for the update website to come back up so that the eRecovery will work and I can install the latest OS from there? Will that ever happen?

hi
can you boot into recovery (must be TWRP) at the moment? then try the following...click the link in post 3 and in youtube expand the info...then click the unbrick link and download the oeminfo.

So I have tried many different recoveries, such as ones for EMUI 4 and 5 and flashing directly to recovery, which gave me an error "image verification failed", and flashing an EMUI 8 to ramdisk would give me the same error as before. I think the partitions on this device is really messed up lol. Also, when I type fastboot reboot recovery, it would just get stuck at the loading screen, so does that mean there is no working recovery installed?

Maybe yes. Did you try directly booting the image without flashing?
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img

Well as you said, you partitions must have been really messed up. I have no other ideas except the test point method.
Are you trying anything else?

Ok we have some option that could help you...
Im read in the 4PDA (the russian XDA xD) forum that it should be possible to flash the oeminfo by fastboot command. So just download the HWOTA_BLN_Eng and expand it. Then go to 7 or 8 Folder and there you go to oeminfo folder. There you choose the right one for your Device and local area...for example BLN-L21 (Device) C432 (European Area)
Extract the file to your desktop and rename it to BLN-L21C432.img
--->be sure that you have the right Device driver installed and the right ADB driver for your device to<---
ok now Copy and Paste the BLN-L21C432.img to ADB folder and start command with admin rights
start the phone into fastboot mode
--->bootloader must be unlocked<---
in the command
fastboot flash oeminfo BLN-L21C432.img
wait for the result and it can not hurt to pray a bit in this moment...hihi
if this have success...you type in command
fastboot reboot
wait to the screen you can press 3 seconds Vol+ to go into erecovery....connect to wlan and it should work step by step like it should.
after download and recover the stock rom reboot and go again to erecover by press Vol+ for 3 seconds and now go to the second option...wipe data/factory reset and write yes+enter
in stock recovery wipe Data after that wipe Cache...reboot and wait that system boot the initial boot for first setup.
If this will not working...tell me what honor 6x you have and wich local area you are from and wich firmware you stock had before you doing wronng
good luck bro
