[Q] missing patition table - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After testing Blisspop I wanted go back to CM12.1.1-nightly. I made a factory reset and restored a nandroid backup in TWRP.
But then my OPO didn't start any more. I can't go into recovery, but into fastboot.
I tried to flash TWRP again, but got an error message.
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.28.6.1-bacon.img

sending 'recovery' <10344KB>...

HELP, PLEASE!

Hard bricked my XOOM help

NOTE: Says when on rsd mode failed to boot 0x00001
on fastboot same + is says failed to format pds and does't connect to the pc after that
i have over 50 hours in 5 days looking for way to fix no luck .
i try my luck with Fastboot. I first tried flashing the recovery with no luck. I then tried flashing over the official moto files (boot/sytstem/....)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
C:\SDK_tools>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (8192 KB)... OKAY [ 0.694s]
writing 'boot'... FAILED (remote: (19000008))
....
If i follow that order boot/system and recovery fail then userdata says it works and it lets me flash the other options (but clearly just says they work it looks like it's lying)

If I try fastboot oem unlock I'm prompted with the unlock message and after hitting accept. I see the following error on the screen
ERROR: Failed to format UDA.
Error while unlocking device.
My next try was with RSD light. I tried flashing all of the images for my xoom off this site . all of them give me the following error:
Failed flashing process. Failed Flashing process. Interface AP-OS: Error flashing subscriber unit. Device API error: 0xE0020085 Address: 0x1F870 Command: ADDR (0xE0222085); phone connected
I ran out of ideas on what to do next. One post i saw said try using a nand backup but I can't find one that will work.
Any help would be great. I really love my XOOM and I'm sad i can't fix it.

Unable to flash recovery.

HI.
Fresh install of the latest Android 6 on to my N5.
I used Wug and everything has gone well apart from I don't have a recovery.
I've booted to the bootloader and tried the following..

target reported max download size of 1073741824 bytes
sending 'recovery' (14524 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.688s]

Rebooted to Android, rebooted to recovery and nothing.. little green man on his back
I've also tried stock recovery with the same results.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Any ideas ?
Thanks
Panic Over
I've just done this again and after the flash finished, I rebooted to recovery swiped to allow modifications and now it's taken !

Never seen a brick this hard to solve...

So I have an Honor 8 FRD-L04 that I was trying to root today. I flashed TWRP and all was good. Until I tried to install SuperSU using TWRP. It said my data partition wasn't able to be found or something, I can't remember. So I did some quick Googling and tried some fixes (changing the partition format to FAT and back to EXT4, etc). This just screwed it up even more. So here's the scenario:
*Can't access ADB anymore, doesn't show up in devices
*Can access fastboot, however:
I usually get "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)" when I try to do any commands (bootloader is unlocked). Because of this, I can't flash extracted .IMG files.
*eRecovery tells me "Getting Package Info Failed"
*Don't have access to TWRP anymore
*Have tried multiple firmwares using the dload method, either they can't install or simply do nothing
*I've tried Huawei Multi Tool and got the following output:

This is really bad. The solution to your first problem was to simply remove encryption by formatting data.

I'm going to cover the basis here, as I've seriously screwed over my phone before but recovered.
If you managed to get the phone responsive with the rollback package try flashing the EMUI 4 package.
If that doesn't work, plug into the computer and press and hold the power and volume down buttons to get into fastboot: unlock oem if possible
let me know if that gets you started.

Bricked Honor 8 [SOLVED]

Hello, it seems i have bricked my phone. The model is FRD-L09C432. I've been trying to restore it to stock but to no avail. I've tried flashing various build numbers via the Unbrick funtion of Huawei Multi Tool, but it always gave an error when it was flashing cust.img and system.img, reporting that I'm trying to flash the wrong image. I've also tried the 2-step method in which you load a rollback package in the sdcard and then try to flash the old firmware, but that also doesn't work as when I am in the first step of the progress, trying to install the rollback package, the installer stops immediately at 5% reporting that the installation failed as the update package does not exist.
I wonder if this is an error with the SD card - maybe the phone can't read it properly. What should the SD card be formatted to? Right now, it's a single FAT partition.
Any ideas or tips are welcome.
Edit: when I try to unbrick with HMT i always get something like this:
Code:
13:43:35: Unbricking started. Your computer may freezes during the process.
13:43:35: flash boot "C:\Users\svart\Desktop\unbrick\boot.img"

I solved it. There was a problem with the SD card that's why it wasn't doing the rollback I think. I found the correct rom (B360 from here) which I flashed with HMT.

Z3 bricked, no recovery

Hi all,
somehow my sons' D6603 messed up and didn't boot anymore. Had an old CarbonROM installed before, but that failed for no reason I can pinpoint.
OK, to recover I tried to reflash the ROM - but boot process got stuck in boot animation for hours (until battery ran out).
OK, so I fired up flashtool and tried to install an FTF - but all FTFs I tried to retrieve failed to unpack.
OK - one more try - got me a stock ROM that was supposed to be flashed through recovery.
Now I get Sony splashscreen, then display turns black and stays like that forever. Only sign of something happening is that the notification LED blinks occasionally.
I tried to enter recovery - wouldn't work at all: never saw any change in boot process.
I can put the phone into flash mode and into fastboot - so I tried to flash a new TWRP:
Code:
[email protected] ~/temp/TWRP-z3 $ fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'FOTAKernel' (15904 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.502s]
writing 'FOTAKernel'...
OKAY [ 1.056s]
finished. total time: 1.558s
[email protected] ~/temp/TWRP-z3 $ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'recovery' (15904 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.501s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.055s]
finished. total time: 1.556s
But still the mobile won't boot into recovery
OK, there's a different TWRP available - but I can't flash it to FOTAkernel:
Code:
[email protected] ~/Downloads $ fastboot flash FOTAkernel twrp_z3_2018-03-28.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'FOTAkernel' (10808 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.342s]
writing 'FOTAkernel'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.345s
[email protected] ~/Downloads $ fastboot flash recovery twrp_z3_2018-03-28.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'recovery' (10808 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.342s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.721s]
finished. total time: 1.063s
Can anyone help me to get stuff working again? I'm lost for options right now - TWRP won't come up, and I can't get an FTF via flashtool to my harddrive. Any other ways to unbrick the phone?
Got a recent LinuxMint 19.x here as my machine right now. Getting a Windows up and running would be an obstacle (although I might get a hand to one).
