[Q] Can't flash anything via fastboot or otherwise

I flashed a modified 44s ota over a 33r ROM (stock) file to my device and lost the ability to boot. Whenever I try to flash via fastboot I get the error: "FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist)"
Does anyone have a way of repairing this? Would love to start using this device again. Thanks in advance :good:

Do this at your own risk:
Go into fastboot and flash 38R. (Available at current time on cygen's site) Flash everything including userdata. Reboot and you should be at the home screen. Then when you are here ota update through settings. Not recommended to modify ota, just do it after the ota if possible. (You might have to unlock the bootloader to follow this guide)

I don't think that's going to work, he's borked his partitions. And the modified OTA wasn't technically the problem. The problem is that he flashed an OTA on top of an incorrect preceding build. It should have gone 33>38>44 but instead went 33>44. Because it was a modified OTA with a modified installer script, the safeguard that would normally stop such a mistake from happening had been disabled. Modified OTA's are perfectly fine, as long as you take them in the right sequence.

He still has access to fastboot which means he can reflash stock firmware.

Not with borked partitions.

Shouldn't it work with the Official signed 44s Fastboot Image that was released yesterday by Cyanogen?

Not if the partitions are borked. It can't flash to a partition table that doesn't exist. It's like trying to serve dinner onto thin air, it has nowhere to go.

And there will be no way to repartition? Guess that something like using parted should work on nand, assumed the right partition tables are known...

It's possible, but getting it done can be tricky. I myself have zero experience in trying to repartition.

Note to self: triple check the version numbers before flashing lol
Sorry op I have no constructive feedback

@timmaaa you were correct I attempted that and it failed. I resolved my problem by flashing calkulin's stock mod 44s. I've come across another issue now. Occasionally the devices screen won't come on at all. I'll have to completely reboot the phone for it to work. Is this an issue on 44s or is there another problem under the hood?

I am running CM11 nightlies, and this issue happens to me (and also on my nexus 5 using milestone builds) ONLY when I am using the Ondemand governor. If you're using that, try changing and see what happens.

Ah yes I am using ondemand. I switched it from interactive last night. Didn't think of that thanks I'll test it.

Please make sure to report back, could be valuable info. I haven't found anyone else discussing this potential cause of the problem, but others do seem to have it.

So far it hasn't done it since I changed back to interactive.

Hello,
I need some help with a Oneplus One that is stuck on the Cyanogen boot image. I bought this for cheap thinking that I could fix it, but 3 hours later still no luck. I have access to TWRP and Fastboot, which made me hopeful, but no access to the storage on the device.
1. TWRP: I can’t mount /data, /cache/ persist (shows E:Unable to mount ‘/data’, etc). I can mount /firmware or /system.
Trying to sideload a bunch of different roms gives me this in the command prompt:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb sideload cm12.zip
loading: 'cm12.zip'* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
2. Fastboot: trying to flash individual files with fastboot gives me “remote: flash write failure”. I’ve also gotten a “partition table doesn’t exist” error.

From what I've read, I think Heisenberg will say that the partitions are borked, but I'm hoping I'm a little luckier than others who do not have access to fastboot or twrp. Any suggestions?

I messed up my One by deleting stuff I should not have... it would not read the internal "sd card" memory at all... so nothing would flash to the phone. I had fastboot and TWRP working. I tried this kit and it only partially worked for me, but did get recovery going. What I did get to work is by connecting an on-the-go cable to it and put the files to flash on a flash drive. The phone will find it in TWRP if you set it up to read the OTG cable. Then flash away something that will boot up... then go from there with the ROM you want to use. Using the Caulkin's ROM mentioned earlier will get it at least running. This worked for me, and may work for you too.

That won't work in this situation, he hasn't merely deleted everything, the partition table is borked.

Thanks for the reply. I'd previously read that, but thought it didn't apply because I have fastboot and recovery. I'm trying it now, but I can't get the device to show up in Device Manager. The phone goes to the charger screen when connected and it shows up as MTP USB Device. I tried seeing if it would show up on the downloadtool.exe he mentions, but no go.

NEXUS 5 Stuck @ Boot Animation, Possible EMMC Failure?

Hi guys,
I woke up to find my Nexus off, still plugged in, which was strange. When i tried to turn it on, the Google Logo appeared, then the 4 Dots as per Marshmallow Boot animation...only they remained there 35 mins after I attempted to put on the phone.
I figured something was up with the boot, so I left it for a while after restarting, but and it was still stuck.
Since then I've tried reloading Stock Roms, (From KitKat to Marshmallow), installing custom recovery and trying anything I could find online to try to get this to work, but sadly I haven't been able to.
If i try to Reset, I get failed messages on some partitions.
I'll attach some logs showing the messages from some of these attempts.
Can anyone assist or help diagnose?

Yup, I tried flashing Stock Roms aka Factory Images for KitKat, Lollipop and Marshmallow as indicated in my original post.

Did you flash the userdata.img file and immediately boot to recovery to perform a factory wipe before booting the rom for the first time?

I did, and this also produces the Fails as before.

Could be a failed emmc issue.
If erasing the cachce, userdata, and factory reset don't work, it doesn't look good for the memory chip.

I had similar issue but at least I could boot into bootloader to do this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701
I had the failed also then went to step 2 and did that:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash bootloader C:\image-hammerhead-krt16m\bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:\image-hammerhead-krt16m\radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system C:\image-hammerhead-krt16m\system.img
fastboot flash userdata C:\image-hammerhead-krt16m\userdata.img
(Note: this command will wipe your device (including \sdcard), EVEN if your bootloader is already unlocked.)
fastboot flash boot C:\image-hammerhead-krt16m\boot.img
fastboot flash recovery C:\image-hammerhead-krt16m\recovery.img
*tip* Substitute lastest images by dragging and dropping them into cmd window, tip** hit arrow up on keypad to enter in last text to save a bunch of typing
It took FOREVER to boot but it did come back. BUT I have weird fc's and rando0m turn offs so I suspect new phone is coming.
I did phone the google and they connected me with LG for a repair option which will come back in max 9 days but I think even 100 bucks or whatever the cost ( they will phone with tally ) is more than the phone is worth.
Read the whole of the link I sent and Thank abaaaabbbb63 for his work

[Q&A] nexus 5 bootloop. Recovery no command.

Hi everybody. First at all i'm french, so sorry for my english.
My nexus 5 won't boot, i'm stuck at the animated bootanimation.
I've tried a wipe but in my recovery, i've got "no command" and the phone reboot automatically within 6 or 10 seconds.
The hold power then push vol + and then release power... no reaction and reboot.
So here it is, the time to flash stock but during the process, can't erase cache, and userdata. Also failed flash cache and userdata.
System boot bootloader and recovery successfuly flashed but no changes.
I've tried to flash recovery only and succes but no change still on recovery stock and no command.
So what's wrong with this phone.
Does somebody encountered this problem and solved it ? Any idea or advice please.
Thanks

pranavmali, my bootloader unlocked so can i flash latest twrp without rooting my device ?

Yes u can install custom recovery without root:
Boot into bootloader and connect ur phone to PC
Then flash the recovery via fastboot (adb not supported when ur in bootloader mode)eg.
fastboot flash recovery (name on recovery).img
After that type
fasboot reboot recovery

fastboot error messages, are these serious? [solved]

Yesterday I flashed the NMF26U factory image on my Pixel using flash-all. I didn't remove the '-w' because I wanted a clean install. I saved the terminal output and there are several things that have me quite concerned even though my phone appears to be working fine.
Note the two places where it says "FAILED". Am I in trouble but don't know it yet?

Right click the menu bar in the command box and select edit then 'selec all's. Right click again, edit then copy. Paste it into a document.

I had to re-flash back to 7.1.0, then upon setting up the phone, it began taking the OTA 7.1.1 update, which is fine. Now that the phone is unlocked and updated, what is the best method to gain root access from this point? boot-to-root or install the latest SU or ?? Thanks.

Your fastboot binary is out of date. Make sure you're using the latest version.

Thank you! It's nice to receive a definitive answer on this. I flashed again with the latest fastboot version and the log output is very different from the first time. I am confident now that everything is in its proper place.

This a thread about fastboot error messages. There are guide in the SU and TWRP threads. Very easy I don't personally think you need anything like boot to root. Just follow the instructions and make sure you use TWRP RC1 and SU 2.79 SR 2

Is the bootloader unlocked? If yes, relock the bootloader, and reboot the phone back into download mode. If the bootloader is unlocked again, the memory chip is damaged and can be fixed with a motherboard replacement.
Have you tried flashing a stock KK ROM?
