HELP Bricked Google Pixel 2 - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

Hi.
Looks like I have an issue. My Pixel 2 is stuck on bootloader.
Bootloader: mw8998-002.0066.00
Baseband: g8998-00164-1710262031
Product Revision: walleye MP0
UFS: 64GB Hynix
DRAM: 4096MB Samsung LPDDR4
Boot-slot: a
Console: DISABLED
Secure Boot: yes (DEVELOPMENT)
Device State: unlocked
ERROR: SLOT Unbootable: Load Error
Is anyone able to assist me how to fix this issue?

Can you try booting from slot b?
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b

I had a very similar issue...if not the same boot error..I'm pretty sure it started with a bad fastboot flash due to an outdated fastboot. I deleted everything in my platform-tools and started fresh from Google's site. I'm talking all new including a new download of the factory image.
Also you have to fastboot flash the factory image that matches your bootloader that your on now or else it will fail.
I think there was a bootloader snafu...(?did you have the grayed out oem unlock problem?).
After I got freed from the dark hole I was in when my bootloader would only say boot error and keep looping I jumped on the DP2 than flashed the 8.1 image and haven't had any bootloader issues since...maybe that will help you too.

Looks like you have the latest bootloader for 8.1. Without any additional info, I would say download the latest factory image and flash-all (remove the -w from the update script to avoid wiping if desired).
Or possibly, as suggested, fastboot set_active _b

I'm having the exact same problem now...it's super frustrating. Does anyone have an idea? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
EDIT: It turns out I didn't have an up to date adb. I downloaded it from https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html and then performed a flash-all, and that seems to have fixed my problem.

Hi, I have same problem here, and can you give me more detail about "flash all"? How to do it?

Have you used adb? Download the most up to date version at the link I provided. "Flash all" is a step when flashing a factory image. There are tons of tutorials on flashing a factory image...just Google it and pick one.

[Q] [FIXED] HELP! Possible Brick on Xoom MZ607 WIFI

Hey! I need all your help, please. Yesterday, I saw that Motorola reveled a tool to unlock the bootloader of our tablet (I know, late). I read all the information about the process, and I could do this on my mz607 wifi. I downloaded all that I need, drivers and android sdk. After that, I rebooted the xoom on bootloader using adb command but....I can't do anything on this!!
I looked for some information about this, and I found in all forums that I can unlock bootloader with "fastboot oem unlock" command. It's false, I cant do nothing!! I rebooted my tablet and now, always run on bootloader and not boot system.
This is my bootloader info:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure)
0A.6B (sha-h13f845, 2011-11-17 16:40:56)
eMMC Info: Size 16G
Device is LOCKED, Status Code: 0
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
I found a germany forum with the same problem (I think) but I don't understand how they solved this.This the link
After this, I looked for other solutions and I found a tool of Motorola, RSDLite. I downloaded the correct file for my model, and when it flashing (7 step for the tool) not flash the boot.img! It's flash correctly other file packages (recovery.img, fastboot, etc) but it can't flash boot.img
Now, when I do "vol up+vol down+power" and select "Normal Boot", It doesn't do anything, the system would be missing!
I think it's can be a soft brick....or no, I dont know. I'm very worried about this and I would appreciate all your help.
Thanks. I'm waiting your answer.
Anybody can help me????
Ok, Anybody wants to help me!
Bye.

You may have tried to flash something before you said you did.
Basically your tablet wouldn't boot do to a failed flash, it said so right on the boot loader.
"AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure)"
Either way. You will have to find the fast boot files for your specific device! DO NOT THINK THEY ARE CLOSE ENOUGH it must be your device mz607!
Once you find them simple follow any tutorial on how to fast boot.
If you have trouble finding something just Google my name and you find a few helpful posts and topics.
And on the topic of unlocks. These will never and have not been unlocked. Furthermore a update (from Motorola) would have to update the bootloader for their new(ish) unlock tool.

Runandhide told you everything you need to know. You need to find the right regioned fastboot file for your mz607 and flash it. And that ypur bootloader is not unlockable. Any tutorial you were reading to unlock it would have to have been for the original xoom, not xoom2.

Hello, I have the same problem,
I Bricked my MZ607 by flashing a bad "motoboot.img".
That and only that can be flashed!
Have you found a solution? I would also like to unlock the bootloader.

Hi, my Xoom is the MZ607 WIFI model, and I fix whit this:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5JuUC6auPR-bWJ2cFFUVVNmNFE&usp=sharing
Download the 3 files. First, install the Moto drivers, after that, execute the RSDLite and flash the zip.
Hope I've helped you
Like the genius I am I've bricked mine too. It's a UK MZ607 that's been updated to JB from the US MZ609. I managed to delete the stock browser whilst trying to install a CyanogenMOD browser (long story) so figured I'd just repeat the steps that I used to flash the US MZ609 firmware. What I'd forgotten is that the first stage is to flash the US MZ609 ICS ROM then do an update to JB meaning I was effectively trying to downgrade. Everything flashes successfully except the boot partition which gives an error that it doesn't exist. Any ideas out there? I tried what I believe to be the original Fastboot file but no luck

Also tried this and it fails when flashing the boot partition. I just ordered a factory cable to see if it can bring it back to life...
Is this zip still available?

[HELP] Nexus 5 stuck on bootloop + bootloader locked + can't access recovery

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.

Yes the bootloader gets re-locked. And pressing Volume Up doesn't work either.

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.

HELP MotoG dead or not?

Hey folks sorry for my poor english
Well I woke up yesterday morning and my MotoG2013 went crazy asking for "backup account", and when I clicked on the notification asking for it, that simply crashed. Everything crashed, even android.phone and system processes. I rebooted the device hoping it was just some "normal" bug, since I rooted it never stopped bugging. But it simply reboots->keeps crashing->black screen.
Unfortunately it wasn't in debug mode when it died so I can't even use logcat. Anyway if I go bootloader->recovery it says /cache/* partitions are unreadable (???). Despite it all I tried with format, wipes, factory resets but nothing changes. Recovery is way buggy but it's impossibile to flash a new one. I tried TWRP, new Clockwork versions, Stock Recovery, nada de nada nothing. "Mismatched partition size" and old CWM still there, without even working. I can't reboot recovery, bootloader or even power my phone on.
At this point I was enough pissed off and tried desperate stuff like flashing stock rom, using "erase" commands from fastboot (well, I think my IMEI is gone.......) but none of this worked. MotoBoot simply WON'T flash. I tried fastboot, mfastboot, rsd lite, everything. I thought EMMC might be dead too....I don't know anymore
Sorry for long post and poor english, but does anybody have a hint about what the heck is going on with my phone? Every help would be appreciated
Bye
*Edit: I forgot that when I try flashing, the error is "Preflash validation fail"

I tried 5-6 TWRP versions and a few CWM too...nothing seems to change....I even tried double flash (flash recovery *recovery*, reboot bootloader, flash again), tried to flash once and directly go to recovery but nothing, there is always the same CWM version, a little "shaky" on the screen...
Strange thing is that fastboot says "OKAY" when I write it... I thought maybe I did wrong erasing recovery from fastboot, but it said the same even before and it was a desperate try...I had tried to change recovery (because mine isn't great) time few months ago and even if my phone was ok I NEVER managed to change it.
There's a sum of weird things and the phone seems totally unresponsive.
Additional error: I tried back flashing stock firmware and got "hab check fail" message from fastboot. What's this?
Thanks a lot to everyone that's trying to help, I'm not english native and sometimes I can't explain clearly where the problem is...

Oh you meant Falcon XT1032 maybe
I tried several firmware, GPE_XT1032_KOTH49, GPE_51_XT1032_M005, well at least 6 versions, but always stock firmware for XT1032
Have you got any clue about what's going on? I tried pretty everything and I'm desperate
You can try the oneclick TWRP/5.1 GPE installer which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/gpe-lollipop-5-1-1click-installer-t3075522
Just boot into bootloader and run the batch files and hope that your Moto G gets revived.
I flashed it. Motoboot went right and when I rebooted my phone it seemed to work but.......same wallpaper than before and when I opened "Settings" everything started crashing like before.
So....after all erases formats and stuff + flashings, it didn't even lose custom wallpaper???? There's something wrong here how is this possible?
I was thinking about "forcing" hard brick and trying to revive, the phone is completely unresponsive whatever I do/flash, it keeps going with same old recovery and same old screen. It's the weirdest hardware/software I ever had, it really seems like the phone didn't give a damn about what I put into, it doesn't even brick or stuff
What I get trying to wipe from CWM (recovery I had, that stays there EVEN AFTER "fastboot erase recovery"). I really don't know what to do...

Sd_shadow...ok I'm not the finest english speaker but I said from beginning and in almost every post that I'm totally unable to change recovery. I flash it and it says OKAY but when I reboot I got CWM like before, I tried ERASE RECOVERY too and when I reboot in recovery there's CWM.......formatted cache, erased recovery, reflashed everything and, after more or less 10 different firmwares and recoveries flashed with fastboot and with mfastboot + no less than 100 wipes/erases/formats all I got is:
OLD recovery CWM
Classical motorola logo boot
Screen with my OLD wallpaper
****load of error messages like "Motorola Contextual Services stopped working"
After a variable time (from 1 to n error messages we could say) the screen goes blank and I got to reboot.
As I said before the phone seems completely unresponsive to every kind of try...maybe it's hardware failure.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/bricked-moto-g-emmc-failure-t2815499 I found this thread googling desperately and unfortunately my phone's issues are exactly those (though I have XT1032)
EDIT: this is my phone's status. When it died I had this wallpaper and I was in "only priority" mode because I set that up before sleep. The processes that crash are pretty randomic but often phone system or googlesomething or motorola contextual services. In this case, "phone" and "system" keep crashing in loop and the screen doesn't even go blank. In my last try (after the solution proposed by Dnlz) it crashed more slowly so I was able to set back notifications but it's back AGAIN to the "last snapshot" before death.

You can try to boot TWRP using fastboot boot, this won't flash the image.
Erasing every partition on your phone was not very smart. Stop making choices without doing research.
Use mfastboot only.
Flash the latest XT1032 5.1 Retail US firmware image - it doesn't matter what firmware you had originally.

Thanks a lot for "fastboot boot" hint. Hadn't seen it listed in commands, I didn't think I could! Anyway TWRP is unable to access /cache partition too...and wipe went apparently well (no errors) but, in fact, it DIDN'T wipe again

Tried right now. This time I've been able to boot the phone but the wallpaper and old settings stayed there. I was also able (between an error and another) to "enable" usb debugging but with no response from pc, I mean, it simply allowed me to tick the box with no effect. Because of "Settings" working apparently properly, I tried to do factory reset from phone. It's a blank button, I click and click on "erase all" but it simply doesn't.
That's absolutely weird...it's not THAT broken to say "yeah ok faulty hardware" but even after every kind of wipe it doesn't wipe.
I was thinking...motog has one only internal storage and no sd slot. Is it possible that this is a snapshot of last working system (shadow copy? sort of cache? I don't know) but memory has failed? Some files are apparently staying on memory (pics etc), I see them from TWRP file manager, and this is absolutely impossible because I destroyed that partition at least 100 times.
@cyberpunkers92 - There is nothing unusual about anything you have described. I read threads about it multiple times a week. It's classic emmc corruption symptomatology. Now stop talking about how strange it all is and do what I tell you to do.
@lost101 as I said, I did it and it didn't work. Nothing in logfiles, everything okay but I reboot and that's the same. I wipe by recovery and it doesn't wipe. Did you tell me to do more than this?

I asked to see a log of the mfastboot flashing process. I want you to clearly state what happens; saying "it doesn't work" is not helpful.

Please help! Pixel 2 stuck in bootloader

Hello,
I have a problem I'm not able to solve myself. If anyone is able to help me, please do. Thank you!
I recently unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted my Pixel 2.
When I tried to restore a backup using TWRP, my Pixel 2 somehow bricked. Now it is stuck at the bootloader that displays the following information:
Bootloader: mw8998-002.0067.00
Baseband: g8998-00164-1710262031
Product Revision: walleye MP1
UFS: 64GB Samsung
DRAM: 4096MB Samsung LPDDR4
Boot-slot: b
Console: DISABLED
Secure Boot: yes (PRODUCTION)
Device State: unlocked
ERROR: SLOT Unbootable: Load Error
I can't go anywhere from the bootloader. When I select an option it will boot again, so I can't boot into recovery.
I tried flashing the latest factory image using the latest ADB and fastboot files, but it doesn't recognize my device.
It could be the boot-slot, but if the console on my PC doesn't recognize my device, how am I able to change the slot?
Any help would be appreciated.
try another usb port and/or another cable.

I have had this happen before except it did not prevent adb/fastboot from working. I just had to switch slots with the fastboot cmd ( fastboot --set-active=b or a ) depending on which slot you are currently on. Then flash the factory img. Are you sure you have the correct drivers installed for adb/fastboot? Have you tried a different usb port / different pc / different cord?

Thank you for your reaction!
I'm sure I have the right drivers, but I will trie more ports, cables and another pc and keep you updated!
First update
So I couldn't get my pc to recognise my phone.
I then used a MacBook so I could use the official USB-C cable. I downloaded the android SDK platform-tools and the factory image. I placed the files from the factory image into the platform-tools folder. Then I used the command './adb devices' and it showed my device! But when I tried the next command, it said "no devices found". Now, when I do the same thing, no device will show up, even in the beginning.

adb does not work in fastboot mode. use ./fastboot
If there's a USB 3.0 port in the Windows PC, using a USB 3.0 cable even in a supposedly USB 2.0 port can cause problems. (I've been there, to the point that tech support actually shopped me a replacement because they were sure it was a hardware problem with the phone.)
What I used to fix it, to make sure that whatever it is about USB 3.0 that's causing the problem isn't also showing up in a USB 2.0 port in the same computer, was using a Type A to microUSB cable (that's a type 2 cable - there's no question) and a microUSB-to-Type-C adapter.
Then I ran Deuces Recovery, and the phone worked (after about 5 minutes of watching that thin grey line moving on the initial white screen). Evidently the constant "flash/reboot/flash/reboot" cycle fixes something that Google overlooked. (You may find that the phone got messed up enough that you have to format user data to get it working. My first attempt - without formatting user data - didn't work. Formatting it did.)

Yes, I had the same idea! I will trie it a few more times with my macbook and if it doesn't work I will buy the adapter.
I used an usb 3.0 A to C adapter and a usb 3.0 A to A cable to connect my Pixel to a usb 3.0 port on my pc. I think this should work, but somehow it didn't.
Thank you so much!

Question Booting fine but showing "Your Device Is Corrupt" screen if bootloader is unlocked

I got a 6a today, with the intent of learning about rooting. I've never rooted before, but was pretty involved with iOS jailbreaking so kinda a similar vein.
I wanted to get to Android 13 to get a fresh start (as opposed to rooting on A12 and upgrading), so i downloaded the factory image. I used the flash-all.sh script, but it got stuck on "Rebooting into fastboot." It then booted into the "Your Device Is Corrupt" screen, and would get stuck on the Google logo when it was booting. I finally got the A13 factory image to boot, but the "Your Device Is Corrupt" screen still showed every time i boot *as long as the bootloader is unlocked*. When I lock the bootloader it seems to be fine. After talking to a couple friends that have been rooting for a while, they somewhat think that I've done something to the NAND and should send back the device for a replacement. I'm not sure what to do now. Any suggestions?
You're fine...all androids have a warning screen after being unlocked.

I hear you, but this is a prompt that showed before the typical bootloader warning. It says "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly. Visit this link on another device: https://g.co/ABH"
If I click the power button it continues on the the regular bootloader warning
My friends who have been rooting for years say that this is irregular and shouldn't happen aside from the first boot. It happens every single boot as long as the bootloader is unlocked

That specific "corrupt" message you are getting when your bootloader is unlocked sounds more ominous than it really is. If you peruse through the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro forums you'll see that many people have encountered this message without any negative side effects and there are a few ways to get rid of it. In the simplest terms it's basically just a hash mismatch.
One method that seems to work well is to sideload the OTA during the next update. Even just updating via the "normal" OTA may get rid of the corrupt message.

Ah interesting, so probably not corrupted NAND then. One friend told me to go ahead and sideloaded the Android 13 OTA (I’m on Android 13 currently), but i noticed in the root guide it specifically said *don’t* sideloaded the ota before rooting. If i sideloaded the A13 OTA now will i mess up anything for rooting, or should i just live with the error until the next update?

Nah you NAND is fine.
The very first thing you should do before doing anything is make sure you have flashed the A13 bootloader to both slots to avoid having problems with the new ARB and bricking your device, if you haven't already.
Not sure what root guide you are referring to and in what context they are saying that, but sideloading an OTA shouldn't mess anything up relating to being able to root. It's really up to you what you do. You can live with that message for another couple of weeks (Sept. 6 is when the next stable update should be released), sideload the OTA or even dirty flash the factory image again (that might get rid of the message).
But whatever you decide to do, don't forget to flash the A13 bootloader to both slots before anything!!! I've seen a handful of people already brick their phone because they did not do this.

Alright, i’ll try sideloading the OTA. I’ve tried flashing the factory image several times and it hasn’t fixed it.
To flash the bootloader to both slots, i follow the instructions on the Factory Image download page where it says:
# If your active slot is ‘a’
fastboot --slot=other flash bootloader bootloader-raven-slider-1.2-8739948.img
fastboot set_active b
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot set_active a

fastboot set_active b

No problem and yep, that's correct. Just make sure you don't boot into the slot which still has A12 on it. Good luck!

Slight correction in case you haven't done it already. They instruct you to go use "adb reboot fastboot" at the beginning. That is wrong because that will put you in fastbootd and you can't flash the bootloader from fastbootd. Instead, at the beginning use "adb reboot bootloader". This is if you use Option 2 in their directions.

Did you manage to solve the problem? If you still have not got it I will tell you that the same thing happened to me and I tried to flash in all ways and in both slots without getting it and in the end I managed to solve it by flashing the latest rom with the pixel flasher, checking the option to flash in both slots and checking the two boxes "disable verity and disable (anotherone)", at the end of the flashing I did not get back what was corrupt, I hope it helps you, greetings and good luck!

i haven’t fixed it yet, because the September update hasn’t come out for Pixel 6a.
I’ll keep that in mind, thanks for the tip!

Good news! Congratulations
Just got, just rooted, now on A13 Oct. and looking to "fix" this screen shouting to anyone who sees my phone boot, "come and get lunch".
