I just bought an used Nexus S and it was stuck on the 'Google' screen with unlocked bootloader.
I tried to reset to factory but it didn't work. Then, I discovered it wouldn't mount the /sdcard.
So I flashed CWM through fastboot, but now the bootloader is locked and still can't mount /sdcard nor /system partitions, so I can't flash a ROM.
When I try to use 'fastboot oem unlock' and select "Yes", it gets stuck and nothing happens.
I've already tried to use Odin, with PDA, Bootloader and CSC files but it takes a long time only to fail at the end. I don't know what else to do.
I have the same problem! Please help us!
Ok so, this isn't my first time flashing and returning to stock with phones, just the worst. Any help is appreciated.
I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and tried to flash a few ROMS which were not working great so I went to go back to stock and then the **** show happened. Its the LO4 Model. I flashed stock recovery, Relocked the bootloader and tried the Force Flash Update method. Well now the phone is stuck in a boot loop(Cant power it down), cant boot to erecovery/ recovery -- I can get to fast boot mode but the FRP is locked so I can not do anything all commands fail with an error.
Any thoughts? I just need to get it back to stock OR a working ROM- I plan on selling this phone and My wife (it was her phone) has upgraded to a Galaxy S9. If I cant get it to work, I will post it on swappa as is for a cheap price
Thanks!
Same Issue
I did the same thing, however when in fastboot type fastboot oem unlock (put the code here) and this will unlock your bootloader. I did this I even managed to flash the stock system cust recovery and boot, but it doesnt boot into recovory, erecover, or even download mode to download the software from the sd card. Any ideas?
I tried that fastboot code and I get an error because of the FRP lock
Hello guys, I dont know whats happening with my Nexus 5 right now. Its stuck on Google logo which appears during restarting of the phone.
I have tried everything. I try to go into recovery it dosent work. I tried changing it to CWM from TWRP still it stays TWRP i get errors while flashing .bat files like (error: failure to write). Please help been stuck on this since past 72hours. Any help to resolve this issue is appreciated. Thanks :crying::crying::crying:
If the bootloader is unlocked, relock the bootloader and reboot into fastboot mode. If the bootloader unlocks itself, the internal memory is probably damaged. If the bootloader remains locked, unlock it and flash 4.4 using fastboot commands.

OEM can be locked and unlocked. But the only problem now is i cannot override the previous partitions as there is an error "failed to write" i dont understand why is this happening this is also the reason i cannot get into my recovery as when i enter recovery it gets stuck for some reason.

Also i tried to erase partitions manually but i always got an error as (remote: failed to erase partition)
Let's start with the bootloader.
Boot into fastboot mode, lock the bootloader, reboot into fastboot mode. Does the bootloader stay "locked" or does it go back to say "unlocked"?

The internal memory may be damaged.

I tried the 1st step by overwriting twrp with cwm dint work. Also ADB isnt connected. I tried to but just fastboot works.
I recommend flashing stock 4.4 using fastboot commands.

I tried flashing new roms it says failure to write to cache,boot,recovery everything fails!
There is no way to erase partitions as it fails!
I would say the internal memory is damaged and will require a motherboard change.
Tablet stuck in boot loop. Can get into fastboot mode but bootloader is not unlocked. I have tested some fastboot commands and they do work, just none which are useful in fixing the issue. Does anyone know of a place to obtain a bootloader code or any feedback on how to fix this? I have firmware downloaded and have tried the volume-/+ and power and that does not work. Just goes back to the logo page. Assume the only fix currently is through the fastboot. One other thing to note when I boot into fastboot it says PHONE unlocked, FRP unlocked which I assume meant bootloader is unlocked but does not seem to be the case.
This is the case, I have a problem with the Flash ROM, now the phone can go into fastboot, but there is no Recovery, and the phone's bootloader is locked.
You're going to have to give a bit more detail if you want help from this community.
For example:
What phone variant do you have?
What did you have on your phone when it was running properly? i.e stock android, locked bootloader, rooted etc.
What 'Flash ROM" do you mean a factory image or custom ROM?
What had been trying to do to your phone i.e upgrade from Android 9 to 10 by sideloading an image?
Had you previously unlocked the bootloader?
I'm not saying that I will ultimately be able to resolve your issues but the more info you give the more likely someone here will.
Now,my pixel 3 can not work,the bootload is locked.when I select recovery by fastboot,The phone noticed me can not find vaild operating system,the device will not start.
I used to unlock the bootloader, it is because I locked the bootloader that this situation has occurred.
Can you unlock the bootloader again in fastboot?

When I lock my devices bootload,then this devices auto wipe data, so I think oem unlock is not open.And I can not unlock bootload.
