[Q] is my desire s dead ?

i just wanted reset my phone
the in Phone Button "Reset ..." hasnt work
so i did it at the recovery boot
but after that, the phone dont wona start
it hangs after " HTC..."
after:
Code:
adb reload boatloader
it said:
NO Device coudnt be found
is my phone dead ?

Boot into recovery and flash a new rom?

What did you chose in the recovery?
My first guess is that you wiped your system partition. (That WOULD mean you don't have a ROM installed) Try flashing a new one.
Power down your phone
Press the volume down and the power button together until you are in the bootloader
Choose recovery (use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to confirm)
Now flash a new ROM or restore a backup. Don't forget to flash the boot.img, if you are HTC Dev unlocked.

does yor recovery show errors like "E:Cant mount cache" ?

Thanks !
I realy wiped the phone, and there was no rom

[q] cant enable usb debugging

My Nexus 5 will not boot it gets stuck on the 4 circles spinning loading screen, when i go into recovery mode it says E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid Argument), i have tried wipe data/factory reset but it still does the same thing, now i want to flash it to a factory image but USB debugging isn't enabled and i cant turn on the phone to enable it, is there any other way to enable it? I'm new to this so i don't know much about it, any help would be great, thanks.

First try to wipe cache. This may take up to 15 minutes.
If it doesn't work: You don't need USB debugging enabled to flash a factory image.

I have tried wiping cache, still does the same thing, and the tutorial i was on to unlock the boot loader said i needed USB debugging enabled.

You don't need USB debugging on to flash factory image .

You are getting mixed up. Adb is for when android is up and running. If it's crashed you boot to the bootloader and use fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img

First, unlock your bootloader.
fastboot oem unlock
Then you use the fastboot flash commands.
By the way where is this guide which tells you need usb debuging enabled to unlock bootloader? I see this nonsense everytime.

OTA caused a boot loop?

My boot loader is unlocked and am rooted with the stock recovery. My model is XT1550 (dual sim variant in India). I received the OTA updates today.. I downloaded them and installed.. The installation looked like it went fine.. after the installation the phone restarted.. but it kind of went to a boot loop after that.. I can power off the phone pressing the power button for some time.. bu the phone powers off and restarts automatically... it does not progress beyond the few initial screens after which it just displays a blank display...
I am able to get into flashmode.. however, my pc does not recognize the device.. adb terminal shows no devices when I give "adb devices" command.. can someone help? Can I do a factory reset from the flashboot menu? what does the factory mode do? what else can be done to salvage the situation? Thanks.
Update: I went into the stock recovery and did a factory reset. It wiped the user data and did a factory reset. After this I tried rebooting the system. But again the same problem. The phone starts and after the first two -three screens of a boot animation it simply gives me a blank screen display. Really worried now.. Any help?

Hi, I have faced the same issue that you have faced. I will be resorting to flashing original STOCK ROM using the ADB commands.
There are other threads in this forum explaining the procedure.
Don't worry. If you follow the procedure correctly you will be able to reinstall the system and use your phone again.
After flashing STOCK ROM and before installing OTA update, please ensure that your phone has stock recovery and is not rooted. Other wise you will face similar issue.
To go to fastboot mode from the blank screen mode you may follow the steps below:
1. Keep the power key pressed for a few seconds till you can see that the screen has gone completely black (otherwise you will see the screen dimly lit)
2. Immediately after this step press the volume down button first followed by power button and hold for a second or two and release the buttons, you would be in the fastboot mode
3. You can connect your phone to the PC in this mode to flash the STOCK ROM using the flash boot commands
4. You will find the STOCK ROM in the following link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/index-moto-g-factory-firmware-images-t3169639
5. For installation procedure and fastboot commands refer this link:

Thanks a lot. I can get into fastbot mod. However, when I type adb devices from the command prompt it doesnt list any devices. Will I be able to flash anything in such a situation? I already have the stock firmware extracted to my adb folder.
Update: I have flashed the stock firmware successfully. The device is back up and running now.. thanks a lot..

Can you please let us know what you did to over come the problem of your device not being able to be recognized by ADB fastboot?
Also which STOCK firmware did you use (there are two in the link)?
Could you download and update via the OTA?
Your reply would help others. Thanks

Well, after getting into fastboot when I use the command "adb devices" it did not show anything under the list of devices. However, when I started giving the commands for flashing the stock firmware it was accepting the adb commands. I followed the commands here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750
and I used the stock firmware XT1550_OSPREY_RETASIA-INDIA_DS_2GB_5.1.1_LPI23.72-47_cid7 for this purpose downloaded from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/index-moto-g-factory-firmware-images-t3169639 things were alright. But I need to say that the first command "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin" did fail in fastboot. But I went ahead and gave all the subsequent commands all of which were successful and in the end I was able to restart with the new factory image.
However, all my data lost, root lost, and my boot loader is still in unlocked status.
About OTAs, I don't know. I went to the system updates to see if there is an OTA.. it says my software is up to date.

Thanks
That was a fast reply. Thanks for elaborating.
Don't know what the consequences of not being able to flash the gpt.bin are...
I will post update after flashing stock rom after reaching home. Stuck in office still...

Hello,
A little info about adb/fastboot :
adb works only after boot.
fastboot works in fastboot mode.
When you boot to fastboot mode and try commands such as "adb devices" you won't see any output or may get an error as the device is connected in fastboot mode.
So using "fastboot devices" will return all device ids connected in fastboot mode.
Hope this helps other new users.

Below is a response I saw in reddit on this error. Looks like it should be fine.
That normally happens when you try to downgrade. GPT.bin and motoboot should fail to flash if you're trying to downgrade; prevent a hardbrick. As long as all the other commands are flashing successfully you'll be fine.

Flashed Stock rom. up and about
I flashed the stock 23.72.47 version using fastboot commands.
The flashing of gpt.bin failed but all the other commands were successful.
I had unlocked my bootloader previously which is still showing as unlocked.
Yes, I made a mistake of using adb commands in fastboot. In bootloader we got to use fastboot commands and adb does not work.
I respect this forum for these exact reasons that things are no nonsense here and this is the place for really knowledgeable people.
Thanks for bearing noobs like me.
Lastly my beloved moto g3 is up and about and doing fine.
Oh BTW I too checked for updates and found that the the stock rom 23.72.47 seems to be the updated version with the Ota incorporated. Earlier I was on the 23.72.33 rom.
Thank you members.

so far i have learned that before applying official ota one must have bootloader relock and everything official like recovery etc etc and may be no root (do not remember no root thing well)
i may be wrong but sharing is caring right?

If you reflashed stock firmware then you will have stock recovery and not twrp to find out reboot into your bootloader then use arrow keys until get to option saying recovery then select if its stock it will look abit like cwm but call android 3e recovery or something close to that if not it will boot into twrp

Root: Stuck at "Your device is booting now"

Hello! I tried to root my Honor 6x (BLN-L21, EMUI 5.0) following the instructions there:
cyberkey.in/how-to-root-honor-6x-100-working/
The bootloader was successfully unlocked.
But when I tried to flash TWRP the process failed and now my phone is stuck on boot :
"Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted [...] Your device is booting now."
I can get access to recovery and fastboot. I wiped the cache and tried a factory reset but nothing changed, my system won't start and I don't know what to do.
Please help!

if you have the boot backup then restore it.

if you cannot find the boot.img
just do a rollback bro

I think that I flashed the wrong files in "boot" and "recovery". Please tell me which files I should flash there.
I used the commands:
.\fastboot flash boot twrp.img
.\fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

The guide from "cyberkey.in/how-to-root-honor-6x-100-working/" is simply wrong when it comes to flashing the twrp recovery. If you really followed this guide completely then you flashed the recovery to the boot partition.
Use "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" to flash the recovery.
You will still have to flash the boot image to your boot partition then (fastboot flash boot boot.img).

I don't have any backup. Is there a way to just reset everything? Also I don't know how to connect to the phone anymore since adb won't find the device.

Use fastboot flash recovery twrpname.img to flash the recovery

Ok so basically I need to flash the boot image. However I don't know where to find the stock boot image. I downloaded the so-called "full version" of the stock firmware that I found here: boycracked.com/2017/07/20/official-huawei-honor-6x-bln-l21-berlin-l21-stock-rom-firmware/
However there was no boot.img file inside.
If you could direct me to the proper stock boot.img or send me one, that would greatly help. I had EMUI 5.0 with Nougat 7.0 I believe, phone version BLN-L21.

Thanks. I successfully updated boot.img and and recovery.img, but system won't load, so I might have imported from the wrong STOCK version.
I tried to reinstall a stock ROM using:
fastboot flash system system.img
But I got this error message:
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending sparse 'system' (444686 KB)...
OKAY [ 12.901s]
writing 'system'...
FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)
finished. total time: 12.929s
Then I tried to erase the system file with "erase system" and got this error:
erasing 'system'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.013s
I guess that the only option now is to install the files on an external SD card?

I recommend you to download firmware files only from the official honor website or by using the huawei firmware finder(https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146)
In this case try to use huawei firmware finder to get the right stock version for your phone. Download these two files: e.g. update.zip & update_full_BLN-L21_hw_eu.zip.
Export the following image files: recovery, system, boot and cust.
The try to flash them:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If flashing a partition via fastboot fails then it is usually because it's the wrong image or just not made for your phone.

Thank you guys, you saved my phone! I eventually managed to flash the files from Nougat update for European Honor 6X BLN-L21C432B360 that I found there: stechguide.com/honor-6x-b360-nougat-update/
Now the phone is working fine.

Hello! I tried to root my Honor 6x (BLN-L21, EMUI 5.0) following the instructions there:
cyberkey.in/how-to-root-honor-6x-100-working/
The bootloader was successfully unlocked.
But when I tried to flash TWRP the process failed and now my phone is stuck on boot :
"Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted [...] Your device is booting now."
I can get access to recovery and fastboot. I wiped the cache and tried a factory reset but nothing changed, my system won't start and I don't know what to do.
Please help!

Hello, could you be more specific about your problem? I'll be able to help you.
Brief Explanation:
From the screen on which you're stuck, press and hold power button for about 10 seconds to forcibly restart your device. when you see the same screen again, immediately press and hold volume up button(for about 3 seconds) to boot to eRecovery.
> Choose shut down option on eRecovery. press and hold vol down button and insert the charging cable to boot to fastboot.
> Press and hold power and volume up button to boot to recovery. (You could do this even from fastboot screen and the screen you're stuck at).

Help, going back to stock EMUI 5 and bricked

Guys, I wanted to go back to EMUI 5 stock (BLN-L24C567B366) but I got stock flashing the BOOT, RECOVERY, and SYSTEM images, fastboot shows
Code:
PS C:\adb> fastboot flash boot boot.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'boot' (15508 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.594s]
writing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.620s
I looked up for that and seems because the PC is not communicating with fastboot maybe due to drivers or disabled USB Debugging, what can I do to recover my phone? My bootloader is still unlocked and shows
Code:
PHONE Unlocked
FRP Lock
I still have access to TWRP if that helps... Help please :crying:

Seeing as you have twrp still working, why not reflash any of the other custom roms so you have a working phone again? I'm assuming you still have whichever rom you been using, on your phone again? If not, put one on an SD card then put the sd card into the phone, reboot twrp back into recovery so it can find the rom on the sd card and flash that rom.

Thank you very much, I will download a ROM now bcz I just had root.

Then instead of going back to stock via cmd and fastboot just copy over the update file in the dload folder and do the 3 button restart so it can detect the update file and restore your phone.

With this you mean getting all the files out of update.zip(Full-OTA) and putting them in dload folder in the sdcard right? I tried that(just without any system installed ) and it failed at 5%, is there a difference?
Again, thanks a lot for your help
