Hello!
I have a small problem. A week ago died my phone when i unlocked the lockscreen one evening. Thought that the battery was empty, i put it on the charger and started up the phone a few hours later and the only thing that happens is that Google logo is displayed, then it starts over again. I can go into recovery and fastboot, but it does not matter what i do there. Managed to get it to be connected as a USB drive so I got out the pictures from it. But if you make a complete factory reset including data and restarts there everything left! Tried to run "fastboot format cashe" but it only return "FAILED (remote: flash write failure) "
The phone is rooted and bootloader is unlocked, i had a custom rom installed, and it had worked since beginning of summer.
Have you already tried to reflash stock rom with fastboot? Maybe that will help to get your partitions working properly...
i followed a guide on androidrootz dot com, "how-to-unroot-nexus-5-complete-stock" but directly when i try to flash bootloader i get a error message.
Does the bootloader remain unlocked? What error are you getting when flashing stock?

Yes! It remains unlocked! Heres the "print screen"
C:\UnrootNexus5>fastboot flash bootloader-hammerhead-HHZ11d.img
unknown partition 'bootloader-hammerhead-HHZ11d.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'bootloader-hammerhead-HHZ11d.img'
You could try Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit and get it back to working. If you can get to fastboot screen, then it can get you up and running again.
You'll have to google it, for some reason I got set back to a new user, even though I've been posting on this forum for quite awhile.

I Have tried that also, here is the print from that:

But when it boots up again its still unlocked...
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
Oh! I missed one word. Will try it tonight!
Nope.... Doesnt work either....

Looks like the onboard memory chip is damaged or has failed.
My N5's bootloader would always relock on reboot so I could never flash a stock ROM.
i don't think you have unlocked bootloader , maybe there is some errors try with "fastboot oem unlock" and then try to flash everything

The telephone is unlocked, the lock is open when i reboot the phone.

what if you try "fastboot oem lock" and then again unlock it maybe will work
and @audit13 to get chip damaged? i'm not saying that is not possible but it's only few percent
oh and can you enter in recovery mode? if as you said yes firstly try to flash this http://d-h.st/VcCv
I don't know how it got damaged. One day, ti started bootlooping and the bootloader had re-locked on its own even though I unlocked it straight out of the box. I booted into fastboot, unlocked the bootloader, and it only too a few seconds to erase everything. I immediately rebooted in fastboot and the bootloader was locked again. This unlock/relock happened over and over.
I booted into recovery and tried a factory reset but recovery could not mount cache or data to perform the erase.
My phone just kept getting stuck at the Google logo or bootlooping.

I have tried that also, when im just type "FASTBOOT OEM LOCK" it lookes like this:
C:\UnrootNexus5>fastboot oem lock

PERFECT!?!? But when i reboot its still unlocked.... if i do first lock, then unlock without rebooting, i get a new meny on the phone where i have to chose if i want to unlock my device. and if i chose yes it will reboot and its the same again....
How do i download that file??? I just got an EXE file, and i dont want to run that!
If it's not sticking on a reboot, that means the memory is most likely gone bad. I guess you could try using the diagnostic tool, which would confirm if the memory is bad.

maybe it's just corupted bootloader @kardanmannen go to http://d-h.st/VcCv and press download now you should get .zip file which you can flash in recovery using adb sideload

after flashing it can take up to 15 mins to turn on because of first boot
@kardanmannen any news?
I'm getting more and more sure that the memorymodule is faulty in the phone. If you reboot in Recovery and select filemanager, for example you remove a directory with files, if you restart the phone, the directory is there again! And when you start it up in recovery and connect it to the computer, theres a few directorys you can write/delete/. Similarly, if you run "fastboot oem lock" and reboot it, its locked the first time it is started up and then the second time it is unlocked again.
Lost hope a little there and went off and ordered a Nexus 6P, hoping it will arrive on Wednesday.
Hello Guys, I am new to the forum. I read a lot of threads, but no one i found had the solution or the exact same problem i have.
I bought a new Xiaomi Redmi 4X and wanted to install the los 14.1 Version I found here in XDA (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-2017-08-07lineage-14-1-t3653016). (I have installed custom roms a few times before and also faced some problems)
I flashed twrp via the fastboot mode using my linux laptop. I installed the los zip file and booted into it, but it was stuck in a boot loop. I wanted to go back into twrp, but it did not work, so i tried it with the fastboot again. Then I saw that oem is locked.
As root user i tried to unlock it with
Code:
# fastboot oem unlock
...
FAILED (remote: Token verification failed, reboot the device)
finished. total time: 0.004s
but it doesnt work.
So I am stuck now without any ROM and Recovery, I can only access to the bootloader.
I am happy for any help.
Hi guys,
I'll tell you the story first, so you can see the whole picture and answer me based on it.
A few days ago I was trying to flash twrp and magisk on my op6 oos 9.0.3. I failed a lot and went into a lot of bootloops and crashdump and black screen but got out of these situations somehow. eventually, I found a way to root using patched magisk and it worked, but I didn't have twrp. So I uninstalled magisc from the app itself and rebooted, but that caused my op6 to get into a bootloop. Luckily I was able to get to the fastboot mode but after trying to flash different twrp imgs, and failing becasue I was just trying without any previous experience and that's stupid, I know. Anyway, fastboot started to give me this error "downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY [ 0.769s] booting... FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error) finished. total time: 0.784s " so I used this command "fastboot --set-active=B" to switch to slot b and it worked, then I flashed twrp and magisk successfully because I learned a lot from those failures.
So, idk what happened to slot a, so when I recieve an update in the future for op6, can I update normally from updates in settings or do I have to do it manually or what? I really have no idea and I would like to have an expectation to what may happen.

As per my knowledge, since you already have your bootloader unlocked and have custom recovery, you might no lt be able to install updates directly. You will have to download them from oneplus' official website and then manually flash the updates. This has to be followed with the normal twrp recovery or unlocked bootloader.
I am not too sure about slot a and b, but I hope the procedure will be same. If you want to directly get updates, you will have to flash original recovery and OOS from oneplus' website.
Download and flash manually using twrp. Should be just fine.

That's really helpful, thanks :highfive:
To be clear im trying to bring back the old "boot loader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be guaranteed" boot message from the red one that says "Your device is corrupt. It can’t be trusted and may not work properly." Now I no this topic has already been on the forums but I read them, and made several attempts to fix the issue but was unsuccessful. every time I end up losing my all my **** and as soon as i upgrade to the latest pie ota it goes right back to the red boot message. One time I even hard bricked my phone and had to use the msmdownloadtool to get me back to hydrogen os and still the same thing happend when I upgraded to pie. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to fix this problem.
p.s. I know its not a "problem" really but its one of those things that’s been pestering me for over a month. thanks for your concern.
Did you use in-built updater or flashed pie via twrp?
If you flashed by twrp, you may need to flash twice for both a and b bootslots.
You may try to lock bootloader, use msm again then update pie.
After that try to unlock it may fix

Run "fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-3-enchilada.img" in command line https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117908950
then from within twrp flash twrp installer - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117908949
and magisk if you want root

looks like your boot partition got corrupted some how im not sure tho

Dear community. I screwed up.
I purchased my new OP7P and in all my excitement, logically, the first thing I went to do was to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and root it, which I did successfully because I am pretty familiar with this on multiple phones. Long story short, here's what I did, and where my problem lies:
1. Went to install the Havoc Custom ROM by following their installation instructions, went ahead and booted to TWRP recovery
2. As instructed, wiped dalvik and /data
3. Flashed Havoc ROM and here is the part where I was supposed to flash TWRP installer
4. Forgot to reflash TWRP installer and rebooted to the now nonexisting recovery. - getting the dead android icon with the message "NO COMMAND"
5. After holding VOLUP + POWER managed to turn it off and then turn it on again with just POWER to be greeted with a message warning me that I am in a bootloop
and that I have two options; to try again or to "reset to factory settings", which I did, which booted me into the HavocOS.
The main problem here is that for some reason whenever I try to repeat the TWRP installation process using fastboot, by entering "fastboot boot twrp.img", it gives me the following error:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.340s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 1.343s
I have tried this on both Linux & Windows, same deal. The TWRP website has mentioned that if this happens I need root, but how do I root my phone without TWRP or "fastboot boot", and how do I install TWRP on the OP7P without livebooting TWRP?
Any help at all is truly appreciated. Thanks guys.
Download the MSM tool here and restore your phone. I've never used it but it gets everyone out of a brick.
I've used this tool a few times and it has gotten me out of a jam, just be sure to download the correct version for your phone. AFA your fastboot error, I got that until I let the OTA update to 9.5.11, then it worked again. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/development/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3930862

Try to fastboot boot the TWRP build -70 from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...nt/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322
It fixes the problem with "fastboot boot" not working on the official Android Q update. Not sure why that would apply to your case (custom ROM after already successfully installing TWRP). But it's very easy to try, and certainly can't hurt. And the error message you are getting is exactly the same as the official Android Q problem.
