Anyone know what is going on?

That and don't use s USB 3 port.

As @aooga said, make sure you use a USB 2.0 port. If that doesn't fix it, try another USB cable.

Wasn't using toolkits, was following CF auto root method as described on various sources including youtube videos.
Could it be just as simple as using a USB 2.0 port? Seems trivial.

USB 3 is the killer of all this adb stuff especially on Windows 8+. Just use a USB 2.

Alright will try that. However just to let you know under the ADB devices command my device does show up listed and I am able to ADB pull apks off the device. Just this error message seems to come out of no where.

Yeah I know. This happened to a bunch of other people too. I see you already unlocked the bootloader, so I'm assuming you know what to do from here. (flash recovery and flash the root.zip)

We consider it a toolkit because it does things (a couple of them) for you. Now you run into issues and don't know what failed because it was doing hidden tasks.
The manual method besides doing the job, will teach you a thing or 2 or 3, plus will help you to troubleshoot simple things.

If you only unlock the BL/root the phone and don`t uninstall/replace system components you will still be able to receive and install OTA`s with the stock recovery. You`ll have to reroot afterwards though, but that only takes a minute.

Root/Unlock Bootloader/TWRP for Metro Stylo

Anyone have a link or instructions on how to root, unlock the Bootloader, and install custom recovery on the Metro varient running stock 6.0? Been searching around and can only find 5.1 and down instructions. Cant afford to brick.

from what i am reading, you should be able to use the same method that they used to root the tmobile 6.0 update found here http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-root-t-mobile-6-0-update.1008880/
i havent tried it myself yet, so if you have the courage please report back and let us know how it goes
edit i couldnt wait anymore...i kdz'd back to stock and im trying to force the ota to come through...will post back with results when i get it and attempt to root

Thank you for this link. This worked beautifully. i was able to get into TWRP and do a full backup and install Super SU. Yes, I'm using MS631 with Android 6.0 and now I can say I'm successfully rooted. This made my day being able to root the Stylo after the upgrade.
Encase you're unsure on how to gain access to a command line through Windows hold down shift key and right click the file. Should see the option to open command line and from then on follow the steps.

That's right. That's what happened to me. The only ways to fix the problem is either by flashing a KDZ (with a computer), or send it to LG for repairs. Better safe than sorry.

I did, it turns out, I had to install the appropriate drivers fro the Stylo MTP, then I had to install the appropriate ADB Drivers by updating to LGE Mobile ADB Drivers, then after that, I had to do "adb reboot-bootloader" and that booted it straight into the fastboot interface, but to no avail, I couldn't get fastboot to recognise the device, so I went into device manager, and I saw "(something)com bootloader interface", I expanded that, and saw Android Bootloader interface. So I updated the software, hit load from PC, and hit Android Bootloader Interface Version 9.0.0.0 instead of 11, and fastboot saw my phone
message me further if you need any help, if you want me to Teamspeak you so I can show you directly, I'll be glad to help you

[ROM][Android][Stock] Alcatel One Touch Fierce XL 5054

Instead of being split in different posts in a really large and broad topic about this phone, I decided to create a new topic to share the stock roms I recently uploaded.
They have been untouched: they all are large exe files (~1 gb) which unpack and automatically launch the flashing software.
I have no more information about these files: everything written here is all I have. They come from a trusted source.
In the previous topic, at least 2 persons reported successes unbricking their phone with these files.
If these files save your phone, don't forget to thank this post. You can also donate using this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/donatetome.php?u=269273

I would love to tell you Unfortunately, it's an information I don't have
I was thinking about SiMLock but I don't think a ROM can alter the SIM lock status of a phone. It may be related to SIM lock anyway...
I was also thinking of Qualcomm Snapdragon Math Libraries...
I will probably upload a Windows Mobile 10 FFU file soon.

SML might be a reference to Standard ML, a functional programming language that excels at pattern matching.

You can do that yourself using the "emmcdl.exe" program and the corresponding Firehose flasher (for your phone, it should be "prog_emmc_firehose_8909_lite.mbn"). You also need ROM files: rawprogram0.xml, patch0.xml and all the needed MBN files.

Maybe related to this - I have activated the "Developer Mode" on mine (multiple tapping on "About Phone") and I saw an option that is new to me: "Enable OEM unlock - Allow the boot loader to be unlocked". It was OFF by default, I turned it on.
Also on rooted phones the "System Updates" won't work anymore: "It was detected that your device has ROOT access. Upgrade is disabled". Hmmm... "Hide my Root"?

Tried and it stops at 2% and after a while I get this prompt?
COM0->PC[2] Search Disk over time! Please check the handset or driver! (Error code = 40011)
How do I know I have the correct driver for this tool to work? Have in mind that I have messed around with qualcomm drivers on this win8 laptop...
Any chance for some details/instructions so we all get there smoothly
Thanks!

The drivers are part of the program. In the "Option" menu, there is an "Install & Uninstall Driver" option.
If you launch the program and if you don't close it, the drivers files are also present in a "usb_driver" subfolder of the folder where the program extracted itself (look at your "C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming" folder).
You may want to use the "Device Manager" to uninstall all the drivers related to Qualcomm. You can also view hidden devices by checking "show hidden devices" under the "View" menu.
In the other thread, few people reported successes so they maybe able to tell you how they did that.

Thanks for quick response

Ok, I'm now 99.99% sure the "SML" mention refers to SIM lock. The "file" mention in the folder name is also related to the unlock/lock phone: it actually refers to the MBN file of the security partition. Unfortunately, I don't know what "change"/"unchange" mean.
Indeed, on this phone, there is a small security partition (~700kb) which contains the SIM lock status. Unlock software like SigmaKey use this partition to unlock the phone.
Can you check the before/after status of the SIM lock after you flash one of these ROMs?

What Mode Do You Put Your Phone In For This To Work?

Here we go, it worked at last
I used USB-Deview to see everything that happened when connecting my phone to the laptop. A good software to delete unwanted drivers. I had to restart my laptop AND my phone. Restart my phone might be the wrong words though, but when you have the Alcatel Upgrade software open and connect the phone and start the process, the phone switch from turned off (and charging) to qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 mode (which you already mentioned) and to get out of this mode on the softbricked phone, you have to get into the built in recovery and from there, turn off the phone for a fresh start again. I had to do this a couple of times before it worked.
And now I'm not afraid to experiment again, wiiipppiiihoooaaah
Thanks a lot TristanLeBoss

If you refer to flashing the system, you leave the phone turned off, and if your computer is free from conflicting USB drivers, it will work (sooner or later)

I was able to use the stock unlock app on the phone to perform a sim unlock. I'm now using the Metro phone on my Tmobile plan.
was looking online for TWRP or CWM for this device and found the previous thread.
Let me know if you need any help, I'm down for testing.
I got this device for free from a friend, because his dad couldn't remember his gmail account, and did a factory reset.
He got stuck on the google FRP setup wizard.
I was able to use the keyboard swipe gesture (from swipe key, to the "s" when you have a word highlighted) to search for metroweb and open a browser. from there it was easy to install "quick shortcut maker" and enter the settings. I went to the manage app settings and cleared the data for settings, then I went to the backup account section and added my gmail as a backup account. Rebooted the phone and now I'm here looking for Custom recovery lol..
I'm not scared of a brick. I've had this phone for two weeks as a brick in FRP mode.
I thought I would share how I got past FRP mode.

Oppo R7sf with no fastboot mode, no recovery mode. Please Help :(

Please help me.
So I think I accidentally removed some bloatware when my phone still great.
When I restart the phone hope for a more speedy and light everyday use, it goes bootloop instead.
Here is My Oppo R7sf back then:
1. Already rooted via Oppo Tools, I downgraded the firmware to 151210 version.
2. Booloader not unlocked yet.
3. Cant boot into fastboot mode via buttons, and if I keep holding it = always bootloop, but if I stop pressing it = the logo stucks.
4. Cant boot to Recovery mode nor Hard Reset, and if I keep holding it = same bootloop logo, even I can tell its blinking every 2 seconds. and if I stop pressing it, the logo stucks.
So I was trying how to do fastboot mode via adb and command prompt, but when I type adb devices, it always says "device unauthorized", 12 hours and I have no idea how to get rid of these as far as I know we have to enable usb debugging first, but my phone cannot boot... so... is there any solutions?
Any feedbacks will be much appreciated. Thankyou for your kindness.

My guess is your phone is entering Qualcomms Emergency Download Mode. Try connecting your phone to an PC USB port and look for driver install attempts.

I only need the MSM8939 program utility. The R7s should have the same qualcomm chip. For all others files there are no problem, I should have all necessary.
If are the same, can you send me the link?
Thank you a lot

No it's not that simple.
The program utility uses headers to compare which phone is plugged it. It compares those headers with the headers of the phone plugged in.
There is no way to force the program utility to flash a different phone than the ones containing the headers it was shipped with.

Ok. For what I understand the process is quite similar to those I've see for MTK. A correct list of the memory and the right flasher.
I've analyzed the content of the directory and seems that the "key" is inside the flasher and a correct settings.xml and rawprogram0.xml.
The various MSMDownloadTool I've found until now can be grouped in : ver.1, ver.2.0 and ver.3.0 (the last one). Everyone of this version have a "range" work using various types of flasher (number.mbn). I belive that the 3.0 should be able to program qualcomm Smartphone of last generation.
However the last MiuiFlasher should be able program everything.
So the main problem is to find the Mbn flasher with Sahara support and right settings files.
I can't find the right flasher.
Maybe I can get a wrong way ... ... correct me for everything I've missed out :angel:

Yes that's correct. However there is a thread here somewhere in the R7Plus forum which is specifically for the R7PlusM and in there somewhere is a download link to the factory flasher you are looking for.
I know it because months ago I came across it and downloaded its, saw that it contains only Chinese based Oppo files and deleted it later on.
So I suggest you search that thread for what you need.

I have an R7S which has been bricked; details originally posted here but no reply yet.
Additionally to the quoted post above, if I attempt to go into recovery mode and plug the phone into my PC at the same time, the logo stays on but nothing else. I'm not sure if this is sitting in fastboot mode, however I still can't communicate via adb.
Could you please help me resurrect my phone.

RCA Voyager rct6873w42 rooting help

I was wondering does anyone know of a working way to apply root to this device. I have tried kingo root, king root, iroot, one click root, and impactor. Everyone of them fails when trying to apply the root. i thought maybe i could attempt to unlock the bootloader on the deivce cause that might be what is causing them to fail. I booted into recovery and then clicked reboot into bootloader and the device just boots normal so i am unable to get into the bootloader to even attempt to unlock it. I'm at a roadblock with this device. If anyone can help me get root on this device i would be grateful.

Well I believe that you have enable bootloader unlock in developer tools before you can unlock the bootloader

i enabled oem unlock in developer options what now

When you reboot into fastboot mode a blank screen is correct... you can use the fastboot commands from the connected PC
at this point.
I have got this far however I have had no luck thus far in unlocking the bootloader, this is not an indication that it cant be done
just that I do not know the proper command in fastboot, most of my work on Tablets has been on the Allwinner SOC's and I
almost never had to use Fastboot in modding those since the bootloader is not locked on those SOC's for the most part.
RCA has very little useful info on their site nor even a Firmware download available... I would love to get ahold of a firmware for this Tablet in order to make modding it easier, failing that if I can manage to root it I should be able to pull the partitions and create a useable firmware mod... If you have any more luck with this please share whatever info you get and I will do the same.
Thanks

Fastboot oem unlock is the normal command to unlock the bootloader for Fastboot devices i saw another reason tablet on xda developers I believe it was called rca viking or something similar there is a bootloader unlock and root thread for that device maybe worth looking at
Here is the paid site I have 2g so I can't check the website to see if it legitimate

I tried the oem unlock command and it does not work, returns command fail...
The Viking uses the MT8127 SOC which would tend to have a different Firmware.. since that is a chinese SOC I expect the unlock to be
a bit easier typically i have found that on Tablets they often do not even lock the bootloader... the Sofia 3gr or Atom X3 is in the tab we have I have been looking into similar devices... so far I have not got much reading done on these... I will have a look at any info I can locate on here regarding the Viking .. but I have already read about some of the other Model # / versions of the Voyager on here and ours is not the same. The ones I have read up on so far do not seem to have a major problem rooting. This one is a bit of a pain as I cant use adb in root mode which when possible makes rooting much easier...
The link to the Paid site you posted seems to be dead...
I have tried SRSRoot which also does not work... actually i have attempted using Kingoroot, iroot, rootgenius, framaroot, towelroot, tunesgo
and OneClickRoot none have any success at all... they do indicate varying degrees of progress but in the end the most that any has accomplished is to push their app to the tab.
I will keep trying and looking... perhaps I will locate a firmware for these out there so i can examine the partitions and their contents more
closely...
Thanks

No I have still not got root access, I have unlocked the tablet and am exploring ways to load a recovery image from fastboot without flashing it. I have also inquired with RCA about getting a copy of the Firmware and I continue to search google etc. for the firmware. Once I have the firmware I am confident that I can root the Tablet fairly quickly.

fastboot flashing unlock while pressing vol + button on tab... if you simply enter the command while watching the screen you can see the display flash a message calling for input... if you press no buttons it auto enters a no answer... it goes by really fast so the only way I have been able to catch it is by pressing the + vol button then enter the fastboot flashing unlock
that does the trick.

Which mode do I have to be booted in for this to work?
I've tried entering adb reboot bootloader as well as adb reboot fastboot & I can't seem to get it to unlock.

I usually just go into adb shell, then do reboot fastboot.
The Tab will reboot with an apparent blank screen, if you look closely you will note that there is a faint backlight. Once in this mode your PC will have a new device in device manager, if it is unrecognized device you can manually assign a device driver. I have the intel drivers installed as well as the google drivers. Woth the intel drivers you can do an Update driver select Browse my computer for driver software, then Let me pick from a List of device drivers on my computer, then scroll down to the Intel Android Device in the list and select either the Intel Android Bootloader device or the Android Bootloader Device, Both seem to work fine.... If you do not install the intel drivers then you should be able to select the USB devices option then select theADB Device. This also seems to work fine...
When in fastboot mode you will havea blank screen however when you enter certain fastboot commands there will be a very brief flash of information/input needed on the screen, it seems the ui in this mode is inhibited in some way.
Also worth noting on this model almost all the commands previously done using oem [command] are now done with flashing [command].

I have now located a firmware for this device and am downloading it. The file is on baidu so is going to take some time to get but once I have it I should be able to do something with the bootloader to allow rooting by most of the conventional apps... as well as make my own rooted version of the firmware and likely get started modding it...
Well the first one I found is a bust... the files contained in the .zip are not in a format that is directly usable or they are corrupted. It appears to contain files from an MTK scatter and has MTK info in the text based config files.. so either someone pulled these using the MTK tool incorrectly or they labeled the file incorrectly as rct6873w42 firmwares... or this could be something I am not aware of...
either way these are taking some time... baidu is slow...

Well it seems that all the ones I have found and downloaded so far have turned out to be mislabeled firmwares for other models of the RCA devices. I will keep pulling them in hopes of finding one that works but meanwhile I will look into some other avenues as well.

So far I'm with you guys up to unlocking the bootloader. Have we made any progress with locating rootable firmware? I've rooted a phone before but never a tablet let alone such a pain in the neck tablet.
I have run
fastboot flashing unlock
and got all that squared away, is there anything else to do at this point? Is it safe to continue to use it in it's current state? You guys are awesome by the way I couldn't find anything anywhere else online for this model. Y'all are making history!
