My device had a fault where I couldn't boot it up anymore but after a while it worked again so I backed up my data and got a new phone.
Now I'd like to play around with the OPO but I couldn't boot into recovery mode. What I did is I relocked using fastboot in order to wipe my data and wanted to unlock again... doing that gives me an "OKAY" answer and the device reboots. The bootlogo comes up while the "powered by android" text flashes up for a second and then disappears.
Even though it doesn't read "fastboot mode", I'm able to access the phone via fastboot. When I try to flash twrp though it responds that the device isn't unlocked.
Needless to say that booting into the OS also doesn't work. I was on Sultan ROM Marshmallow. I don't need to save any data so we're free to proceed in any way. Thanks! :highfive:
Why would you relock the bootloader? Wiping and unlocking again makes fun?
Anyways,unlock the bootloader through fastboot and flash recovery and then any rom.
I wanted to wipe my data, yeah. Issue is that if I try to unlock it, the phone reboots and the bootlogo comes up while the "powered by android" text flashes up for a second and then disappears. I am unable to flash anything though as the device state remains locked.
If I'm not wrong,all the tutorials have a warning of NOT to relock bootloader..guess you never had time to ask anyone before doing that,huh?
Anyways,here's your best get: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tool-oneplusrecovery-tool-v1-0-restore-t2991851
Make sure you read the OP thoroughly.
Huh, it didn't recognise it before but now it worked... thanks, man. If it's still locked now, am I free to unlock it?
Yes..

I was using energy rom, I am 90% sure it was the 4.1 version. (the rom folder was labed Energy.TF300.JB.11.30.2012.zip)
Today i tried to revert it back to complete stock. tried to flash the latest blob from asus' website using fastboot, and when it rebooted, i got the dead android logo, and then nothing. I then followed some other guides from here and such to try to recover it, and now I am stuck with it going straight into TWRP v2.3.1.0 recovery. It then asks me for a password. I can use the adb reboot bootlader command to get back to the fastboot screen, but anytime i try to flash anything, it never takes. the command window says it went, but the tablet just freezes up, until I hold down power until it reboots. Is there any fix for this? Or am I completely and utterly screwed? I will reply asap to any posts, so feel free to ask me for more info if neeed, ill answer the best i can.
Basically you have flashed a 4.2 bootloader onto a 4.1 recovery (TWRP 2.3.1.0)
Sorry but that is a brick.
If you had updated TWRP to a compatible version at the same time you may have been able to save this first ......
As far as I'm aware the only fix is to send it back to Asus for repair.
crap LOL. I got into fastboot, used fastboot erase system, and fastboot erase recovery. Now when i try to click any of the 3 icons, i get unrecoverable bootloader error 0x000000. I can still use fastboot tho when i reboot. anytime i try to flash still, the tablet freezes. when on 3 icon screen, it says at top left:
keydriver not found.. Booting OS
Android cardhu-user bootloader (1.00 e) released by "US_epad-10.6.1.15.3-20130416" A03
It there anything i could do at this point? It is not rebooting into twrp anymore at all. And if i let it boot normally, it just sits at the asus logo. Am i mistaken in assuming it is ready for an OS to be put on it?

Well any chance you had has now gone as you wiped from the bootloader which has now sent a message to the incompatible recovery to wipe and it doesn't understand the partitions so who knows what state it is in now. Sorry.
ok. well than you for your help anyways. everyone says search LOL, but everytime I try to do the things everyone says to they fail for me LOL.

Unlucky mate. You never know Asus might fix it for free? It has happened.
Hi,
I have come here seeking help for repairing my Nexus 5 which is stuck in bootloop. The phone wasn't rooted with possibly no custom recovery and it's bootloader is locked. And I am not sure which firmware was on it. And I also don't know what was done to it for it to become "bricked" as it was given to me in that state.
I can access the Bootloader Mode (a.k.a. Fastboot) but when I try to enter the Recovery Menu it gives me an Android logo with the red triangle with "No Command." written underneath it. And since the bootloader is locked, I am unable to flash a Stock ROM on the phone.
I have somehow managed to "temporarily" unlock the bootloader by entering the following command.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
But, as mentioned, it is temporary as whenever the phone is rebooted it automatically gets locked again.
So I tried entering that command then I immediately entered the following commands to flash the stock 6.0.1 recovery.img
Code:
fastboot erase flash
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
But in vain, as it still gives me the "No Command." Android logo when I run the Recovery Mode. I have also tried the same procedure with the TWRP recovery.img but with the same results.
I have also tried launching the flash-all.bat from the stock 6.0.1 right after running the bootloader unlock command mentionned previously. But it fails as i guess the flash-all.bat is programmed to reboot the bootloader before flashing. Thus re-locking the bootloader right before attempting to flash it.
I have come here seeking for help as I believe XDA is the most active Android community online.
If my post is somehow against any forum rules here, please be indulgent as this is my first time posting on XDA.
Thanks in advance.
At first, fastboot erase flash is not a working fastboot command. It is used to erase a partition: boot, cache, data...
Is your bootloader relocked after typing this?
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
In the stock Android, press Volume up when you see "No Command".

Sounds like the EMMC is dying. http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...-unbrick-nexus-5-stucked-qualcomm-hs-t3043301 you can try using the tool here, test the EMMC and RAM, it'll pretty much confirm it.

I've tried the tool and I can't get it to work properly as it gives me an error saying "partition.txt does not exist. Please extract the file from the total binary image."
UPDATE: I just got it to work. The SDRAM test passed but EMMC test failed. So that means it's hard-bricked right? And is changing the motherboard the only way to fix it?
I have a phone that does exactly the same thing. Swapped out only the motherboard and everything is fine again.

I suspect a hard-brick, so I am strongly considering it. Would you know if motherboards are carrier specific? Meaning if I get a motherboard from another carrier's Nexus, would it end up changing the carrier of my phone?
Any motherboard from any carrier will work as long as the model numbers match. In Canada, every N5 carried by all carriers is the d820.

Hi guys.
My issue: I had TWRP 3.0.2.1 on my honor and decided to update to latest version. Big error.
I have the TWRP app installed and I followed the procedure to flash recovery with that app. It seemed everything was fine, because it said ""recovery flashed".
Now when I try to enter recovery, my phone gets stuck at logo "your device is booting now".
I have to reboot in EMUI recovery to go out from that stuck page and to load normally the phone.
So I decided to flash recovery in the old ADB fashioned way: now when I get to "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img", the phone tells me "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"
Practically now I have no TWRP and I do not know how to proceed.
Some good Samaritan out there?
Thanks.
My firmware is latest Nougat (BLN-L21C432B360).
I tried to flash TRWP 3.1.1. Before this try, I had version 3.0.2-1 as written above. I flashed twrp when I still had Android 6 with EMUI 4.
Regarding the way to enter TWRP, yes, I know the method and I do it.
The problem is my phone don't enter twrp but remain stuck at logo.
It seems that the recovery is not present or has problems.
I've tried even to reflash the old recovery, just in case. Nothing.
Try this-
flash stock recovery for your model.
boot normally.
flash TWRP latest.
Now I try and post later.
What a mess. I should leave the old 3.0.2 which was working good...
I was already on nougat and the 3.0.2 was still working perfectly. I had flashed that twrp when I was still on 6.0 and after the update with firmware finder it was still working.
Moreover I used the official TWRP app to update and it failed miserably even if it said flash successful at the end of operation....
Then I used the classic way with ADB and still nothing.
I can see on the Windows shell "failed: command not allowed"

AFAIK, Factory Reset Protection is linked to account protection in case someone steals the phone. In this way it should be more difficult to wipe completely the phone and use it.
Anyway, just checked in fastboot and no, FRP is locked. I just had a look in developer options and I noticed that "Enable OEM unlocked" is greyed out. But it should not have nothing to do with flashing the recovery.
Or not?
Let's see

Unlock your boot loader
Bootloader is unlocked.
For some reason, my "OEM unlocked" option turned greyed out, and FRP is locked again.
I will try this eve to lock bootloader again and restart the unlocking operation from scratch.

In emui 5 OEM unlock option is not there and can only be found in MM or Emui 4.x
you mean that even if I can't access TWRP, this should be still there and I cannot lock bootloader?
And you advice to do a factory reset first.
If this doesn't work? Then?

Yeah exactly. See SS
This was there till emui 4
So how can I solve the problem?
Someone told me the only way is to lock bootloader in order to have again this option available to be turned on... And so start the process again.
At the moment I cannot access TWRP nor flash it through ADB. Practically even if bootloader is unlocked, I have a rooted phone with no possibility to do anything else... Regarding flashing of course.
Thank you for your replies.
Anyway I really know now that I cannot buy honor for flashing.
I just tried a factory reset from advanced options.
After all the pin request etc, the phone rebooted and get stuck on the initial window (your phone has been unlocked and cannot be trusted-your phone is booting now...).
So I had to press usual buttons to enter in emui recovery, the only way I can get the rebooting option from this state.
Of course the phone is not reset.
I give up. This crappy phone is taking too much time of my life.
I will keep it like this. And I'm not sure at all I will get future OTA update.
I never EVER had these issues with Samsung phones or HTC, and believe me that I was flashaholic... I flashed tens and tens of ROMs, I rooted and unlocked all my previous phones with no glitches or whatever..,
This time I tried honor for the price.
Never again for flashing or playing around.
Just for normal, classic phone use, hoping it will last some other month before I purchase another brand.
Thank you all.
Of course my thoughts about this ****ty phone were all right.
I received the ota update for version b365, downloaded and OF COURSE STUCK at boot logo after automatic restart...
I will never be able to install anything else because the recovery is corrupted.
I am condemned to stay with b360 until this cursed phone will die for natural causes...

But recovery can be changed mate. Try twrp with new thread in my signature and follow steps, it won't be a trouble. Try once in free time as i know you already are frustrated with trying all ways.
The TWRP on official TWRP site sadly won't work for our berlin devices, i neither know why it is still there sincerely. Personally i can't recommend the usage of TWRP official app for our phone as it downloads a wrong version... you have to get the OpenKirin edition from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/twrp-t3583413 and flash that via adb fastboot. Be sure to have "USB debug" on by developer options menu, and to have installed HiSuite (just to have all the functional drivers)
I thank you all for your patience and replies.
But as Shashank said, I'm really frustrated because I tried everything in the past.
Now I'm rooted (luckily) but with FRP locked. It seems the reason why I cannot flash nothing.
In any case I will try again the suggestion of redskull. The last hope!
Thanks.
Had a bad idea this morning and decided to try to root the phone, leagoo t5. The last time Im going to go messing with a phone that wasnt broken! after spending 10hrs trying to sort it! I downloaded adb tools and and twrp. I unlocked the bootloader with fastboot and installed twrp. However when I rebooted the phone it just booted straight into twrp. I cant get it to boot normally. I reinstalled the firmware but it will still not boot. I can get into recovery and factory modes but thats it. what can I do? Thanks

Yes I did. No Joy. When I power on I just get the leagoo logo coming on and off repeatedly. Pressing the power button then will not turn the phone off again. I can switch it off by pressing vol- and pwr together though.
Is the problem caused by unlocking the bootloader with fastboot or that the firmware I installed is not suiting? Rebooting the phone after unlocking the bootloader before reflashing the firmware caused the leagoo logo to come on and off repeatedly accompanied by this message in very small text "Orange State - Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted, Your device will boot in 5 seconds". After flashing the firmware with Sp Flash Tool this message is not being shown. Does reflashing firmware undo the action of unlocking the bootloader?
What your are describing is a bootloop. It sounds like the device can not find the system kernel to boot to. Did you boot the device after unlocking but before doing anything else?
Where did you get the TWRP recovery from?
Isn't this a mediatek chipset? If so, I think you need to use SP Flash Tool*to install.
I would look for a stock ROM for this device to revert to.
I'm not experienced on mediatek devices, but maybe @SubwayChamp could help.

Then to unlock bootloader is not normal that Android refuses to boot normally but when you flash a custom recovery or modify other partition this usually could happen so either or both you have to do a factory resetting/format data as @ktmom said or/and flash a kind of DM-verity for your device, this last avoids that bootloader checks the integrity of the partitions and can boot normally to system.
The warning message is normal then to unlock bootloader and reflashing the stock rom doesn´t relock it, you have to relock it at similar way that you unlocked it via fastboot command, most commom is "fastboot oem relock" but there are other variants and keep in mind that you have to return completely to stock before to apply it.

I relocked the boot loader with the command "fastboot flashing lock". small white text dialogue on phone screen stated bootloader was locked successfully. rebooted phone then and it was still stuck in the boot loop. For a few seconds in between the leagoo logo a strange circular graphic was displayed on the phone with word "erasing" under it. What does this mean?
Can you tell me more about how to flash DM-verity?

Ok, then to relock bootloader I guess that you did successfully boot to system again, right?
When you unlocked bootloader first then device is formatted to avoid a new user can access to the user´s data and when you relock it again the same happens.
As for DM-verity, newer devices strictly since nougat can´t boot to system after any partition was modified like happened when you flashed a custom recovery on it, here is when DM-verity can be useful, is used to avoid bootloader checks the integrity and allow a modified device can perform a reboot and more custom actions not officially permitted. You had to flash it through a custom recovery, sometimes flashing only Magisk is enough but not always.
You *might* be able to use this universal dm-verify script. It can be flashed only in a custom recovery and I'm not certain that is available to you.

Good news and bad news! I got the phone to boot! I reinstalled twrp and the "magisk","no verity opt encrypt" and "disable dm verity" zips from the ext sdcard with fastboot. Twrp stated the zips installed ok but there were also some red line failure lines in the dialogue as they were being installed. I rebooted the phone via fastboot but this just resulted in it booting direct to twrp as before. I tried normal boot from twrp but it still booted straight back to twrp. I then tried selecting normal boot from the fastboot, normal, recovery option menu accessed on the Leagoo T5 by powering off the phone and then pressing the pwr and vol+ buttons together but this still resulted in it booting straight to twrp. I then decided to uninstall twrp by flashing the stock firmware recovery image to try to boot from stock recovery. I did same and rebooted from fastboot and it booted to system.
The bad news is there is an imei failure message and the sim is not connecting to the network.I googled imei failure and saw that its can happen when firmware is changed. I installed the "mobileuncle" app but according to a youtube video I watched, when I tap "Engineer Mode" there should be 2 further options available, one being MTK Mode. I am only getting one option "Engineering Mode (Android) which when I select just results in being returned to the previous menu. please say this is not a major problem!

It could be many reasons why device didn´t boot to system. Then to flash it you had to format data + flash DM-verity. Also is possible that this TWRP version is not completely suitable for your device or is unable to mount/unmount partitions correctly, you have to check from where you downloaded it and if some users are experiencing similar issues with it.
As per you IMEI lost, better is ever take a backup of the NVRAM through TWRP before to go further then it´ll be easy to recover it. In almost all firmwares for mediatek devices you´ll fnd inside the zips SPFT and SN Writer that is to recover your IMEI. Your IMEI is not really lost only got actually covered by blank codes due to a bad/incorrect flashing/wrong sequence firmware, so be careful what you do with Mobile Uncle tool if you´re not experimented with otherwise you´ll lost permanently.

but got message that the file was corrupted and it would not install
After a first successful attempt at unlocking, flashing WW-XXXXXX.raw (on an EU model) and flashing Magisk one, evening my phone suddenly stopped recognizing my SIM.
I tried updating using the latest OTA official file, which messed up my phone even further (no vibrations, air triggers are bugging, no fingerprint unlock)
So I backed everything up and started going through the process from step 1. But I noticed something strange, while I have the "bootloader is unlocked" message, upon reaching recovery and entering Fastboot, I see the following line "Secure boot - yes", which to my undersanding appears in case of a locked bootloader.
Also when trying the flash_all cmd, I now get "fastboot: error: project name () mapping the wrong raw id (0x33)"
Does anyone have pointers on what to try out ?
Secure boot and a locked bootloader are not the same. If you are entering fastboot through recovery, it may not be the bootloader. Make sure you are backed up, turn the phone off, then hold volume up when booting.
If you come to a screen with giant block words, you are in the bootloader. Now you want to use the flash_all and let it wipe your data.

Yep, found that out by myself ><
In fact I was mistaking the bootloader and fastbootd which both make the device appear when using "fastboot devices"
Everything went smoothly from there
