Hi!
I have a problem with my Huawei Honor 6 phone.
I’m using ADB to reboot my phone to bootloader using "adb reboot-bootloader" and once in bootloader-mode it says “PHONE Unlocked”.
But when I try to run any command it fails. For example:
Code:
[B]fastboot oem device-info[/B]
...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.003s
I discovered this error because I tried to flash a recovery from latest beta stock that is Android Lollipop but got the error:
Code:
writing ‘recovery'...
FAILED (remote: flash write failure)
I did the same with the “boot” partition and it worked… But it won’t work with the recovery partition.
Current recovery is TWRP and right now I’m unable to get into recovery mode (the phone freezes).
I’ve read that these errors indicate that the eMMC chip is broken, but I would like to know if there is something I can try to fix this if it’s a software problem (partition table?)?
My model is H60-L02 bought from Singapore
I wanna bump this as its still an issue.
I'm unable to enter receovery and would like to know what people think, is it a hardware error?

Hello,
i am using my Toshiba Folio as a playground for new ROMs. I have already successfully installed different mods but since the last one, my Folio seems to be broken.
I followed this guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31004271&postcount=9 but when i issue the fastboot commands i always get this:
[email protected]:~/Downloads/adt-bundle-linux/sdk/platform-tools> fastboot erase recovery
erasing 'recovery'...
FAILED (command write failed (Cannot send after transport endpoint shutdown))
finished. total time: 0.001s
[email protected]:~/Downloads/adt-bundle-linux/sdk/platform-tools> fastboot erase userdata
erasing 'userdata'...
FAILED (command write failed (Cannot send after transport endpoint shutdown))
finished. total time: 0.002s

Click to collapse
My Folio says:
Failed to process command getvar: partition-type:xxxx error(0x2)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
where 'xxxx' is the partition i try to access accordingly.
Can anyone help me out or do i have a brick now? I definitly have done something wrong.
Greetings,
Alex

hello good, I have the same problem as you, could you fix it?
Just popped here to say how I managed to get arround this:
fastboot -u -S 0 flash linux boot.img
and it worked.
My understanding is that 'fastboot' changed and has new capability of getting 'partition-type' from device.
Folio doesn't seem to understand that command, so it's either -u or -S 0 that makes it work.
Cheers my friends!
I had the same problem!! The working parameters is "-S 0"
Tried everything // getting failed // found a way
I spent the whole day to understand how to make this work...
I did the factory reset via Settings in Android menu, I connected the tablet to PC and the only thing I could do using fastboot was "reboot".
I forgot all "erase" functions and I tried "fastboot boot <filename.img>" and it worked!
Then you follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31004271&postcount=9
Just try this if anything else fails.
Hello, on March 10th I received a new update on my N5. After update, which finished with no problems as usual, my phone was normally working or about two more hours. In that time no new apps were installed. Then it just shut down, and can't be properly turned on.
It always stuck at Google logo and that is all that it does. I'm able to get to the fastboot mode by holding Power+Volume Up+Volume Down buttons, but I can't get into Recovery Mode option to hard reset it. Nothing show up after selecting that option and Power+Volume Up does nothing. Ok, bad luck, time to flash it nice and clean.
Haha, nice try.
I'm not sure if I had USB debugging on or off, but I think off. Obtained ROM from Google + newest platform tools from SDK and followed all possible manual I could get from Internets, results:
Code:
adb devices
List of devices attached
*nothing*
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
error: no devices found
Drivers are newest from Google, reinstalled several times, device is visible in Windows as Android Bootloader Interface and seem working fine. adb just do not see phone.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
...
OKAY [ 46.402s]
finished. total time: 46.403s - WORKS!
But rest is just no go:
Code:
fastboot erase boot
erasing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: failed to erase partition)
finished. total time: 0.219s
Code:
fastboot erase cache
********Did you mean to fastboot format this partition?

finished. total time: 0.218s
I tried several more commands, like to install twrp, but all with same results.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
sending 'recovery' (14314 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.653s] writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: flash write failure)
finished. total time: 0.835s
I also tried "fastboot boot twrp.img" and it worked but didn't helped much. Internal storage is showing size 0 MB an when I try to do anything it ends with wall of red text about how it's unable to find partitions or mount images, first line:
Code:
E:Primary block device '/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata' for mount point '/data' is not present!
Also when I reboot bootloader, it get stuck and when I get it back with buttons, it is back in its locked state. So my guess is that eMMC went to Silicon Heaven.
Do you guys have any advices? Or is my phone just fancy mirror now?
When the phone is in fastboot mode, does the bootloader state remain "unlocked" after a reboot?
If the bootloader is unlocked, have you tried relfashing a stock ROM?

Like i wrote, it get back to locked state.
The emmc chip is defective and cannot be fixed. This is clearly indicated when the bootloader relocks itself at reboot.
Thought so, but wanted confirmation . Thank you.
My Archos Helium 70b is totaly bricked:
Hi all,
I got a bricked phone with following symptoms:
Normal boot stays in an endless bootloop.
Starting up from recovery does the same.
3th option is fastboot: If I want to fastboot from a previously downloaded image with 'fastboot boot boot.img' command I got this:
Code:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.674s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.688s
Any option to unbrick the phone left?
Thx

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]

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:
sudo ./fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-sailfish-8996-012001-1808030001.img
Code:
Sending 'bootloader_a' (32384 KB) OKAY [ 0.951s]
Writing 'bootloader_a' (bootloader) Command is not supported.

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....

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…
Hello there,
I just got a Nokia 6.2 to use for my app reverse-engineering/development needs, but I would need to root it.
Recovery is just saying "no command" and fastboot does not want to flash recovery.
Code:
C:\Users\<user>\Downloads\platform-tools_r29.0.5-windows\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-PL2.img
Sending 'recovery' (38736 KB) FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Apperently the device's flashing functionality appears to be encrypted.
per the how-to at https://www.androidweblog.com/nokia-6-2-ta-1198-root-install-twrp-recovery/:
Code:
C:\Users\<username>\Downloads\platform-tools_r29.0.5-windows\platform-tools>fastboot oem unlock-go
