[Completed] Fastboot Command: flash <partition> [ <filename> ] - XDA Assist

Hi I just need someone who knows what their talking about to answer this question
I have a VFD 501 (it says that in settings under about but in recovery it says it is a VFD 500) running official stock recovery and android 6.0 however I have unlocked the bootloader to help me get one step further on rooting my device annoyingly there is no root method or custom recovery for the device so I'm pretty much stumped but there is a fastboot command here
flash <partition> [ <filename> ] Write a file to a flash partition.
could this be used to write su and busybox to /system/bin I am cautious but willing to give it a try if someone can verify that it won't erase anything off my system partition
thx

[Q] Cannot Reboot Recovery

I am running CM10.1, and wanted to upgrade to the new nightlies, Upon trying to get into recovery, I cannot use goo manager to installed recovery nor reboot to recovery. I did then try to push TWRP to my device using fastboot, that did not seem to work as any time i rebooted to recovery it would do a normal reboot. I can access fastboot, however when I volume up on "RCK" the following error comes up
Key driver not found..Booting OS
Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "US_epad-10.6.1.14.4-20130329" A03
Starting Fastboot USB Download protocol
Booting Recovery kernel image
Booting Failed
Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x00000000).
I do not know if I have everything loaded into my PC correct, drivers, etc. Anyone who can help would be greatly appreciated.
As i am now I can run CM 10.1 just fine, booting and everything, I just cannot get into recovery to upgrade or change roms.

I don't know if this method will work on CM. You can give it a shot and report back.
1. Download the Asus firmware from Asus website and extract it once because there is anotherr zip in it.
2. Copy the second zip file to your root directory on your internal sd and reboot
3. If it works, you should see the notification on the lower right corner and click on it. You just follow the instruction to put your device back to the factory bootloader.
Before you use this method, you need to move all your stuff to your computer as a back up because it will wipe everything that you have on your device..
There is another method that you could try if it does not work.. Good luck..:fingers-crossed:
I tried to download the US Firmware from the ASUS site, put it on the root of the internal, then rebooted. Did not see any notification
What is this other method you speak of....
This isn't a huge deal, if I'm stuck on a RC of CM 10.1 I can deal with it. I just like to be up to date and like to reconfigure my tablets and phones from time to time.
On a side note, isn't rom/recovery etc tasks with this tablet very difficult when compared to other tablets/phones?

LetMeKnow, Thanks for the update.
Myp hone is a Droid Razr HD, and I know with that phone its possible through the bootloader to flash stock firmwear, is this possible at all with the Transformer tf700t? It would be great to have a simple tool to aid us in getting back to stock to start from square one!

By reading your post again, let me summarize it here. You know how to use fastboot, can't boot to your custom recovery (TWRP), want to flash stock recovery to fix your problem, and have try a few methods to put the stock back but it did not work. You still can get to your bootloader menu. Can you try to use this command to see if you can access to your custom recovery: fastboot boot-recovery
Good luck and get back to you on the link...
this is what came up in command prompt....

I then did try below. but when I went to reboot, it just stayed in fastboot, so that leads me to believe there is some error there, either my bootloader is screwy or something related. I appreciate your help. At this point if anything can get me back to stock as bought, I dont care if its older versions of the firmware/bootloader/stock recovery, I'll take it from there.

I have not seen that before, so I don't know what to say...
When I did fastboot TWRP recovery, I used blob file instead of img file. Do you want to download the blob file and try again?
Edit: What version of TWRP did you fastboot? V2.6.3.0 is larger than our partition on the tf700. Therefore, you can not use it..
The .IMG was cwm recovery. I tried that after trying twrp most recent version. 2.6.3.1 I think.
Sent from my XT926 using xda app-developers app
On a side note, when i fastboot the TWRP file to my device, the green blinking box stopped around "RCK" after that when i type in fastboot reboot to reboot the system, nothing happens. any thoughts?
At this point in time, if there is a way to force stock recovery through fastboot or the stock firmware as well, i'd like to give that a try.

If fastboot doesn't work for you but you have a rooted Android, you can try installing a recovery using the dd method:
Code:
cd wherever/you/downloaded/twrp
su
dd if=openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-tf700t.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
then reboot - the bootloader should flash your new recovery with a blue progress bar and reboot again. On the second reboot, hold down volume-down to get to the bootloader menu and try entering RCK again.

You mean the expected output? Something similar to:
Code:

15836+1 records out
8108136 bytes (8.1 MB) copied, 0.152395 s, 53.2 MB/s
(the above is from my PC - the TF700 is slower)
Or do you mean where you enter those commands? Either via your PC in an adb shell (in this case you must first transfer the file to the TF700 with adb push or other means), or directly on your tablet with a terminal app under Android (I recommend the one from jackpal, search the Play Store)
I was able to get the same output, however when I rebooted after running the last dd code, it did not do anything, just rebooted as normal.

Tried to update to CM 11 / 4.4 KitKat and got "unrecoverable bootloader error"
So I messed up big time. Trying to update to the new unofficial 4.4 OmniRom and had to update TWRP from 2.5.0.0 to the latest 2.6.3.1 in order to flash the new 4.4 ROM but it kept giving me an 'set_metadata_recursive'. So I used the version provided and then used Flashify app on Google play (mistake) to flash it (it said that it installed successfully). Then when I reseted to recovery it got corrupted. So I thought I installed at the wrong place and installed as a zip, recovery and IMG. (Bigger mistake). Now it won't load at all on any OS and boot loader and recovery are corrupted.
Can some one help me? Please o)v_v)o

Sorry, but after reading your post 4 times I still have no idea what you actually did.....
If you still have access in ADB (since you can't access the bootloader??) the link LMK gave you may save your bacon.
If you don't have any kind of access: ADB or fastboot and you do not have nvFlash blobs - sorry, you bricked.
Can I access fastboot when I get the menu at RCK / Android / Wipe? Because if I click con any of these its says that bootloader is corrupted.
What's the Command to fix TWRP using a computer / or other Android device?

My solution
I have the same on my TF300t and A700 - but it seems i just managed to get my TF300t back
i tried all fastboot (reflashing recovery, boot, system etc) no dice - especially since writing system was done after 3 secs all the time.
Here how i restored my TF300T JB
download your appropriate lates firmware from Asus (WW, US etc.) and extract the zip twice so you have your blob file
install your device drivers if needed (i used Google SDK ones) (and as a Tip Win8 sucks for Fastboot stuff so try to get Win7 Vista XP for this)
Reset your device with a paperclip/needle (about 2 cm down of your sdcard slot) and hold vol-down to enter fastboot
(the folowing i did at least 10 times already but didn't erase misc)
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase cache
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system c:\adb\TF300t\blob (this is my path - your's may vary depending where you stored your blob) ((also this was the first time i saw the loading bar while flashing)*
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
* it also took a lot longer, as it should:

Although I admit I had to these steps several times as it initially wouldn't somehow it wiped out that error. After I had fix that bootloader error I used fastboot and installed TWRP 2.6.3.1 and now life can continue.

Buster99 deserves a medal or something for this post. Dozens of people have recovered from a brick using his method!
Glad you got it going!

Recover a 4.4.4 downgrade brick! (Temporal solution)

So, i have noted a increased number of threads about people who have soft-bricked their phones downgrading from 4.4.4 GPE after recieving the OTA, since it includes a new partition table and there's no firmware image yet.
Worry not, i have found a solution for your problem. This method only let's you use custom ROMs (sadly), but it's meant to be a temporal solution while we wait for a 4.4.4 GPE image anyways.
So, without further ado, here's my fix:
You will need:
-The good ol' Android SDK
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download
-Motorola drivers
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
-A custom recovery. I recommend TWRP, since is the only one i have tested.
Official TWRP Images for Moto G: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/xt1032/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-xt1032.img
-The gpt.bin from 4.4.4 (this is the partition table)
I extracted it from the OTA file and uploaded to my Dropbox: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/82658555/gpt.bin
-A custom ROM of your choice (obligatory) + GApps (optional)
What to do:
Once you have the Android SDK, decompress the folder sdk/platform-tools in a place of your choice.
Inside this folder, put gpt.bin, the custom recovery image and the ROM and GApps zip's.
Start your phone on fastboot. Connect it.
Inside your decompressed platform-tools folder, hold shift and right click inside the folder. Select "Open command window here".
Make sure your phone is properly connected by typing "fastboot devices" (without the quotation marks). The command prompt should show your phone serial number.
Now we start the real deal. Fist of all, flash gpt.bin using this command:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
Make sure it ends on "OKAY"
Now, flash the recovery
fastboot flash recovery nameoftherecoveryfile.img
Once this is done, enter recovery using the fastboot menu on your phone (use Vol- to highlight "Recovery", and then press Vol+)
Now your phone should boot on recovery mode. If you recieve an error like "Can't mount /system/", don't worry, this is normal (there's no system partiton yet, after all). Now you can use ADB command with your PC. Once again, to be sure everything is connected properly,tyipe on the console:
adb devices
Once that is done, it's time to give your phone the custom ROM, so you can flash it. Type (or copy/paste)
adb push NameoftheROMfile.zip /sdcard/ NameoftheROMfile.zip
If you have GApps, do the same for those
adb push GApps.zip /sdcard/ GApps.zip
Now you can finally disconnect your phone from the PC! You are almost done, select "Install" in your recovery, and flash your ROM zip, then the GApps if you have them.
Once it's done, you can reboot to system.
And you will have a working Moto G again!!
Enjoy it, and don't brick it again
the guide isw missing some info (like enter flash sideload on recovery)
and that weird command push does not work, i have to use other command
i managed to install another rom after being bricked but still that rom won´t start, i have to try another
still thanks a lot
i did not download android sdk, i have my folder with adb files
also when i am in recovery, i type fastboot devices and nothing happens, but still the recovery could receive the file

From my experience, you don't have to enter sideload mode in recovery to push a file, sideload mode is for pushing OTAs. And remember, the ADB push command requires you to put the exact name of the file to transfer twice, that could have failed for you.
You can't use fastboot devices on recovery because you can only use ADB commands in recovery, you were supposed to use "adb devices".
Or you can restore 4.4.2 nandroid backup using recovery if you made one. But after that you need to flash correct baseband.

Not many people do NAND backups these days.

got.bin is the partition table of the Moto G. Its the file that indicates to the phone the size, name and number of partitions it should have.
So, I know TWRP said in red letters Failed, but I'm interested what is the specific error, what did it said on the command prompt of TWRP.

EDIT: this wont work it says failed all the time at twrp
I'm kind of confused. Why couldn't people downgrade and go back to stock by reflashing all of the files from an older stock image, including the motoboot and gpt? I would think this would work...although with people saying that they are unable to downgrade I'm not willing to try upgrading to 4.4.4 myself.
What errors are people seeing if they try to flash gpt and motoboot from, say, 4.4.2 stock or 4.4.2 GPE?

not work for me..
every recovery stay on black screen and return vibration on touch screen

Moto G (1st Gen) - XT1033 - Unable to flash recovery/ROM (unlocked bootloader)

2. flashing custom ROM after booting (unable to flash but can boot) with TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-0-falcon.img)
- Android6.0.1_NX_R10.3.3_MotoG2013.zip
- cm-13.0-20160617-NIGHTLY-falcon.zip

phone is detect as MTP when booting with TWRP which allows me to copy custom ROM to phone from PC.
using TWRP, trying to install ROMs as listed above.​
Result: it gets stuck forever in patching "patching system image unconditionally"
Can anyone suggest what could be wrong and how i can fix it?
Appreciate all the suggestion in advance.
Hey you can boot into fastboot which means that your phone is not hard bricked thats is a great news.
You can try wiping the partitions in the fastboot if the bootloader is unlocked
Try this in fastboot mode:
(Use mfastboot) :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...1&d=1442444179
Code:
mfastboot erase system
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot erase recovery
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
Then install the stock rom or flash recovery then install a custom ROM.
Hit thanks if it worked..!
Stay Crazy
Try boot Twrp image and then flash Twrp image to the phone (from inside twrp, obviously). After that, select from menu "reboot to recovery". Phone should start twrp.
Format all partitions (advanced wipe) and install some custom rom and gapps.
@wald0rf, appreciate your suggestion.
As suggested, I did boot from TWRP and flashed TWRP (from inside TWRP). after that, after rebooting to recovery, I see stock recovery only (dead android)...
Hi @jignesh_shah. I'm facing the same issue. Did you find any solution as of now ?

These are classic symptoms of corrupt (read only) emmc. There are multiple threads on this subject. I do know of one person who managed to flash CM13 via TWRP (perhaps using mfastboot boot twrp.img) and got that ROM to boot and run successfully. I suggest you try other ROMs, including a Stock-based one such as Identity Crisis 6.
One other thing to do is the following wipe via ADB: (ADB will work in TWRP - but you may need to be running linux)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65431978&postcount=22​
@lost101, I went through many posts and did almost all the different suggestions.
1. flashing anything using TWRP gets stuck in "patching system image unconditionally"
2. I tried wiping entire flash, but gives i/o error
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
dd: writing '/dev/block/mmcblk0': I/O error
7169+0 records in
7168+0 records out
3670016 bytes (3.5MB) copied, 2.781263 seconds, 1.3MB/s​
3. can you please point me to Identity Crisis 6 for XT1033? I checked on http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-identity-crisis-6-t3324595 it says its for XT1063/64/68...
@lost101,
I tried using idcrisis6_ds_v1.0.zip after booting with TWRP.
this time it gave different error.
symlink: no of symlinks failed = 1
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/idcrisis6_ds_v1.0.zip'

@jignesh_shah. Where did you execute 'dd' commands ? On terminal ? Because I have CWM + terminal.

i dont remember exact steps but i guess nothing tricky - connect your phone with PC using USB and boot using TWRP (allow read/write). open command line, go to path where you have adb binary and supporting DLL files in the folder (I have attached with this message if you dont have) and run command "adb shell".
best luck.

Sorry for the late response.
I did not have luck with CWM so cant say. But getting TWRP should not be issue...
I can't even change my recovery.

to use TWRP, you need not to flash. you can boot using command mfastboot boot twrp.img
However, unable to flash recovery does not seem good sign. It may be due to corrupted flash (I am also facing same issue). Only solution I have come across is to replace motherboard, which is not easy & cheap to get!!!
Thanks. I'll try it out.

Question Help! Bootloop with only Bugjaeger as an available option

Greetings all. I'm hoping you can help me with my predicament. I followed the instructions here on rooting the Asus rog phone 5. I flashed the twrp recovery and install the magisk zip and when I found that it wasn't booting I tried it again but this time I change the storage to B. (that's where the problem begins).
I'm now in a boot loop. I tried changing slot (permission denied). I tried flashing the recovery but flashing non-hlos image is not allowed in locked state. I tried flashing unlock but permission is denied.
My situation is made more complicated as I don't have a pc. Only a 2008 laptop with Linux Mint installed (further exacerbated when now I cannot flash through Linux because the battery level is too low).
My only option to flash is through the Bugjaeger.
Anyone has advice to fix this problem?
Have you tried flashing a clean version of your boot.img back to your active slot? A RAW flash should clear things up too. IDon't know what butjaeger is however, you may need proper fastboot access...

Attached is the bugjaeger terminal. It's an app from playstore.

Still won't boot. Any more ideas? Much appreciate it
