Hi all,plz plz Help!!:crying:
I got my nexus 5 and tried rooting + custom recovery installation.
Found this tool on XDA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517802
after installing drivers and unlocking the bootloader I moved to download twrp + flash
(did not boot between steps)
the flash was successful when done, it booted into a boot loop, went back to recovery to do some wipe (dalvick, cache, data) got msg saying unable to mount storage. (pic 1,1-2)
Trying to backup got me the same result (I can tell it recognized sys partition (pic 2) , going to file manager and to sdcard showed empty folder (pic 3).
I can browse the root dir (pic 4) and can still send adb/fastboot commands to device.

Do you have a 16gb or a 32.
It looks like it's trying to create a 32gb and erroring because there isn't enough free space

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.
Transmitted via Bacon
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.
Transmitted via Bacon
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?

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.
I have tried to flash a new system on my new Pixel but I am getting the above message.
I am using Ubuntu Linux with the stock android-tools-adb and andoid-tools-fastboot installed.
The same tools are working fine on my nexus5 phones.
Yes I enabled USB debugging and unlocked the bootloader.
Can anyone tell me what is different with Pixel phones?
adb version gives: Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31
Have you tried the latest version of Android tools? I haven't used adb or fastboot with the pixel yet but know with past nexus devices I have experienced this error because I wasn't using the latest Android tools
I can't remember the exact specifics since I do not have a factory image available to me atm...
BUT, I believe you extract the contents of the image.zip and then use a text editor to individually add the flash commands for the content found inside the image.zip to the flash-all.sh (i.e. "fastboot flash system system.img.")

Update your ADB tools. The latest version is 1.0.36, I believe.

This version of ADB is the latest in the ubuntu repositories. I did not find a newer version there.
Can anyone tell me how I can get a newer ADB and fastboot? It's not in the Android SDK package.
I want only the binary not the whole SDK as I have nothing to do with it.

I have Ubuntu Linux. The link seems to have only windows executables.
OK so I upgraded fastboot and adb. Actually upgraded my ubuntu to latest version.
fastboot getvar version prompts version 0.5 for fastboot.
I managed to load the latest version NMF26Q onto the pixel but I am still getting an error. The Pixel appears to boot and work OK.
I am worried about the error though and wondered if anyone can figure out what it means and how I could mitigate it. See below output from flash-all.sh
Again, please remember I use Linux (ubuntu)

Follow Method 2 here - it worked for me, as i had the same issue as you:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/flash-firmware-factory-image-google-pixel/
OK I finally figured it out.
To clarify, the purpose was to burn a factory image and start from scratch. (no sideload). All without having to install Android studio or the SDK manager or whatever. This is a guide for Linux but I believe this method works in Windows as well with appropriate syntax.
1. First rule is to NEVER try to use a version of fastboot other than the one "prescribed" for the image you want to burn. To learn what version to use check Google's SKD Platform release Notes here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platforms.html (my major mistake was to think that ubuntu would have the latest fastboot available in its repositories. Don't even try!)
2. Find the SDK Platform Tools version indicated on the above page. (In my case: Android SDK Platform-Tools 25.0.1 as I wanted to burn Android 7.1.1.). Google does not make them available AFAIK but other people do. I found them here: http://androidsdkoffline.blogspot.com/p/android-sdk-platform-tools.html OR do a Google Search.
3. Unpack the platform tools and the Factory image you wish to burn. Then copy fastboot from the Platform Tools directory to the image directory.
4. run fastboot from inside the directory. You can do this in at least 2 ways:
4a- manually run one-by-one the commands listed in the flash-all.sh script making sure you add sudo ./ in front of each fastboot command
4b- edit flash-all.sh and add sudo ./ in front of each fastboot command. Then run the flash-all script by typing ./flash-all.sh
There are of course more ways but I found this to be the simplest method as it doesn't involve installing any package and/or modifying your system variables. Plus, after you are done you can simply delete all files and directories you created.
Hope this helps other people too.
A final observation: It appears to me that starting with pixel the phones have 2 bootable sectors "slot a" and "slot b". See output below:

Hi all,
I recently rooted my Pixel and was plagued by the 15% battery issue. I found in the Pixel XL forum to fix it i should flash boot_a boot.img but that erased all my data.
I figured I'd start fresh and looked up a few websites who had instructions (androidcentral being one of them) and it seems like any other google phone, except i started getting FAILED to flash. so i ended up doing the following and now my device is encrypted.
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash system_a system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash vendor_a vendor.img
fastboot format userdata (have to do this in order to get phone to read as 128GB)
---
so now when i boot up, it goes through the setup but it's encrypted.
I guess my question is, with the way Pixel's will be handling updates, what are all of the extra .img files from the factory image and should i be flashing them in a particular order?
here are the contents:
aboot.img
apdp.img
boot.img
bootlocker.img
cmnlib32.img
cmnlib64.img
devcfg.img
hosd.img
hyp.img
keymaster.img
modem.img
pmic.img
rpm.img
system_other.img
system.img
tz.img
userdata.img
vendor.img
xbl.img
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
EDIT #1: I just locked and then unlocked the bootloader to see if that allows me to setup as unencrypted. It's taking a while to boot so I doubt it.
EDIT #2: Still encrypted after set up.
Wellp... i wonder what flashing these after the initial order above will do...
EDOT#3:
lock / unlock botloader
fastboot flash system_a system.img
fastboot flash system_b system_other.img
... still encrypted, it booted up a bit quicker (or maybe i'm going nuts)
EDIT #4:
lock / unlock botloader
fastboot flash system_a system.img
fastboot flash system_b system_other.img
fastboot flash keymaster_a keymaster.img
andddd.... still encrypted... can anyone help out?
updating android sudio/sdk
So on the newest SDK, the fastboot flash system system.img will automatically detect and erase system_a.
probably a good idea to be on the latest sdk platform-tools
lockd / unlocked bootloader
bash update-all.sh
CRUD... still encrypted.
here's the output if anyone would like:

I think it'll just be a waiting game... This happened to me when I flashed the original boot image using an out of date SDK.
Can you point me in the direction of the factory images? I need to start over
Why are you so desperate to decrypt? It's encrypted by default, and stops you from nothing at this moment, and likely won't be a road block in the future either.

I had a similar issue. I tried to unroot in order to install the new OTA, because it failed. So I tried to flash the factory boot image via
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
After the next boot I got the nice "erasing" screen...
My phone was unencrypted before (dunno why) and now all my data is gone and it is encrypted... Maybe there are some devices, which are not encrypted by default and factory resetting after updates...
i unlocked the bootloader used twrp to install magisk and installed a custom kernel, all of that went fine, then i decided to try and flash twrp which also worked... reinstalled magisk and kernel etc and it was getting stuck at the google logo,
i then decided to try and uninstall twrp and now i do not get the google logo, it won't go past the bootloader screen, bootloader seems to be functional and is accepting fastboot requests, however, the recovery is not working no matter what option i choose it will always take me back to the bootloader, tried reflashing stock images to get it working again but im getting an error with the bootloader remote command flash error.
any help is appreciated

Download the factory image for your current build.Unzip.
In flash-all, remove the -w so it doesn't wipe your device.
Ensure you have newest ADB &Fastboot.
While your device is in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot devices
Ensure you see your device serial number
Double click flash-all
That should reflash recovery so you can start over.
NOTE: You cannot flash TWRP, Kernel, and Magisk all at the same time. It causes issues.
Read this thread: [GUIDE] Unlock/Flash/Root for the Pixel 2 (walleye). There are a lot of people that have had issues and have had help solving within it.

Are you on 8.0 or 8.1?
Which bootloader are you on?
If you are in the bootloader, does it have the error line at the bottom?
If you cycle your volume buttons and reboot bootloader, does the error go away?
If the error goes away, try flash-all again.
If not:
From the bootloader, try booting the TWRP image.
If that works, reinstall TWRP using the zip.
Ensure you are using the 3.2.1.0 IMG and ZIP. Mismatching will cause problems.
I think you might have caused an issue when you deleted the TWRP recovery without replacing the stock recovery.
This post here might help.
Replace the Magisk with current version.

You probably have already done it, but ensure you have the newest ADB, that's what screwed me up.
I had the same problem turns out I wasn't using the latest platform tools.
I couldn't do anything. Would boot strait to bootloader. I couldn't even power down and plug I to charge. It would take me to bootloader with an error. I managed to screw up even more by flashing the wrong image using old tools. Then I lost all options except bootloader ( no recovery or download mode).
I feel as long as you have an unlocked bootloader and you are able to use fastboot you shouldn't worry. I'm only saying this because I was scared as hell haha.
I did notice it would try to boot when switching boot slots. But I screwed that up too by trying to flash with old tools. In the end all I needed was latest Platform tools:

seems my partitions are all jacked up, is there a way to sort that out?
oh as a side note my problems are all the same as yours i can only access the bootloader and adb will not recognize my device but fastboot will
this is what happens if i try to flash the version with the same bootloader as the one that it says is on the device

It still sounds like you are not using the latest tools. Are you installing the platform tools or are you using the extracted zip?
the script is going to use whatever is installed on your system.
The first thing I did was download: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
I used this image Android 8.1 stock: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/taimen-opm1.171019.011-factory-2df1c1cb.zip
I extracted platform tools to my desktop. I opened the file location and did a Shift > Right click - within the folder containing the tools and opened CMD or Powershell( or you can just CD to the directory).
I copied all the commands from the script and ran them one at a time making sure I was using the tools from the zip file and not my system.
and just went down the line.

im doing exactly what i'm being told to but i'm still getting the same remote command flash error and the boot slot is set to a it won't let me change it to b
okay i have an update i'm all up and running again everything is fine, turns out i had to download the older version of oreo 8.0.0 from november the latest november update, then i had to download a slightly older version of fastboot and that seems to have fixed it just ran the flash-all batch file thanks everyone for their input
Nice! Now that I think of it I did try flashing Oreo 8.0 before I tried flashing 8.1. 8.0 didn't work by itself tho. So then I flashed 8.1. Maybe that's the trick to fix the partitions.
Thanks a lot

Thank you for the idea of using an older version of fastboot. I somehow screwed up my Pixel 2 and loaded bootloader 59 on it and couldn't update it back to 66. I had the right image but was still using the newest version of fastboot. Ended up with 26.0.2 which was the first version with Pixel 2 support. It can be found here: https://xiaomifirmware.com/downloads/download-platform-tools-adb-fastboot-r-26-0-0/
Thanks again! :good:
Unlocked my pixel 2 and tried to root through magisk and kinda screwed it up. Tried flashing older Oreo 8.0 and 8.1 as you guys tried before but now I cant get past the fastboot screen. Whenever I try to load the earlier 8.0 it tells me it requires 8.1 to upgrade. any ideas would help

My dude, you would not believe the hell I went through to figure this out. So it started with me getting the Verizon Pixel 2's bootloader unlocked. I downloaded TWRP onto it, rooted it, and then downloaded a ZIP that would add various modifications to my version of android. Well, I downloaded it, flashed it , and of course it didn't work as intended. Tried finding a way to undo what I'd done (absolutely imbecilic me, I didn't back up my phone WHEN THERE WAS NO SYSTEM IMAGE FOR A VERIZON PHONE YET). I figured the Google images would work fine, but they put you through hell and highwater before they do. I attempted to revert to the current stock image. It screwed my whole system up. Couldn't boot into android, couldn't boot into ANY recovery, etc. It was essentially bricked. I went through countless different errors and threads and forums and files, until I found this one right here. Tried reverting to the old version of Oreo with old ADB and fastboot. Progress, no more error popping up. Then I tried booting up and it stayed in fastboot. Tried then updating to the latest version available from Google as you had and got the exact same line of code. With the OLD ADB AND FASTBOOT and with a file I had downloaded and tinkered with earlier and with the LATEST IMAGE FROM GOOGLE (after your step), I tried it, came up with several "faileds" and other errors, but after the script was done, I rebooted and it got to the boot animation (as it had done before) and FINALLY brought my phone to the setup wizard.
The file I used was this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/development/tool-deuces-bootloop-recovery-flashing-t3725778
Recap:
Download old ADB and Fastboot
Download the latest Android 8.0 Oreo Stock Image
Flash all bat
Download latest Android 8.1 Oreo Stock Image
From there, put the downloaded script in with the image file of the latest available Android 8.1 Oreo Stock Image and run the script.
Should show errors
Reboot once it's finished
Should be fine.
Keep in mind, this was a Verizon Pixel 2 and it worked fine for me. Couldn't guarantee it'd work for you, and there may have even been precursor steps before this post that I took and didn't keep track of that might have contributed to an extremely lucky brick save.
Long story short folks, if you're on an unlocked bootloader Verizon, don't do anything you can't live with for a while until we've got a proper backdoor developed for us.
Read my message right above your original post. Get the image for oreo 8.0 (nov) and use the fastboot version fron the site I linked to. Should have the 59 bootloader. After it boots, just do the OTA update twice. Check the build number and then get that image from Google to root the boot.img file. All good.
Yupp, just used the tool and saved a couple hundred bucks and a pair of underwear. Really is phone saver. And I'm for sure going to wait until a less risky root is available. I was able to flash the tool with factory image 66 version bootloader, just make sure to have tool in the same folder as the unzipped bootloader and files.
I haven't posted in at least 2 years. Wanted to thank everyone in this thread for the detailed troubleshooting. I locked my bootloader without doing the prep work and this saved me from a fiasco the week before my vacation.
