Hello,
I received my NVIDIA Shield K1 a couple of days ago and upgraded to Android 6.0. I wanted to root my device, but when I try flashing the img file found in the Android 6.0 Marshmallow Update thread, it gives me an error. I noticed that when I put the phone in bootloader mode, it says "Device - locked," so I followed the instructions on how to unlock it using the "fastboot oem unlock" command, however, I keep getting the follow error message: FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error)
When I enter "fastboot devices" in command prompt, my device's serial does come up, so it is recognized. I just don't know what to do from this point on.
I would appreciate any help (step-by-step if possible, please).
Thanks
I'm having the same problem and am currently hung-up on unlocking the bootloader

Were you able to figure it out, Glitterjesus? No luck here.
Two guesses
Be sure you are using a high quality USB cable and or try another port in pc, also be sure you have latest adb/fastboot binaries on pc

Hi demkantor...I was using the cable that came with the controller and had it plugged into a USB 2.0 port. I'll try it when I get home and let you know.
Seems like your going to have to restore 5.1.1, unlock, and then root via flashing the available files

I tried using it in a USB 3.0 port and it was able to unlock. Thanks for the recommendation, demkantor.
Looks like I killed my Z5. The model is 6683 (Z5 dual), and I flashed with E6533 (Z3+ dual).
The phone is completely dead, cannot turn on, not vibrating on power button etc.
When I connect to my laptop, it says "unable to recognize USB device", in detail VID_0000&PID_0000.
But if I disconnect the battery, it recognized as "SOMC Flash device", VID_0FCE&PID_DDDE
Is it possible to resurrect it?
I hope if I can flash with correct bootloader in this state, it will enought to boot up and able to flash with the right firmware.

Are you able to connect it in flashmode and fastboot ?
With battery, no.
Without battery, my laptop recognize as "SOMC Flash device", but no tool can connect to it (like FlashTool).
(I think then different PID is the reason)

it seems to me that you are an advanced person in playing with your mobile, this kind of issues is beyond of my knowledge but I was replying to your thread hopefully someone here can help, I'm fearing that you have messed up with your mobile
Well, you could try to flash it from Ubuntu (NOT inside Windows 10 !) via FlashTool,
under windows there are limitations with different device IDs that separate drivers would be needed (and if only "wrong" ID is detected under Linux it doesn't really matter, since it's detected anyway),
perhaps under Linux operating systems you have more luck
Thank you for idea, but not working.
Finally I found an old SETool3 box , and successfully flashed with it without battery
Somehow it can fixed it.

wrong flash means wrong kernel!
you might be stuck on black screen when you frist switchon device! the device is running! but since its stuck on bootloops no interface is open!
press power and volume up button for 15+ seconds and let it JERK 3 times , this if force shutdown. the device should get connected now in flashmode

YES
Your phone is lock ?
For lock and unlock : Test with Flashtool or newflasher (flash full firmware with Userdata.sin or just kernel.sin for charging)
For unlock only : Test with emma sony Flashtool
Ps : your pc detect the phone in flashmode and fastboot mode ?
Hello.
I've been having some problems attempting to flash Pie on my XZ Premium, which was previously on Oreo with an unlocked bootloader.
I made the (honest and silly) mistake of attempting to flash the packages with Flashtool, but this problem persisted before that.
Now the device just says it has failed verification and does not boot.
I would attempt to re-flash using newflasher, but when I hold volume down and attempt to boot into flashmode, the light will go green for one second, and then the device will power off, so I cannot flash any software.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Okay, I'm officially stupid, the issue was fixed by plugging the phone into a different USB port on my PC. I hope this helps anyone who has the same problem that I did!
Hi everyone, im trying to downgrade my android to nougat and otw bricked the device. Im using flashtool to do this and the bad part is I forgot to turn on usb debug before. I tried using Xperia companion to fix this but and error came out saying "failure to get device info" kinda like. So is there any other way i can do this.
My phone is SOV35 au model with unlock bootloader not allowed but i flashed it to G8231 to unlock the sim. Any insight would really help on this. Thank you
First charge the phone.
Keep it switched off.
Here are the links
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xzs/how-to/oreo-xperia-xzs-g8232customized-ru1308-t3732394
There is a single sim.variant in he link too. Use Flashtool to flash these.
Start flashtool. Select appropriate firmware.
Click start flashing and then when it prompts.
Plug the cable in phone first and then pressing volume down plug it into PC. Wait until you see the green light in phone.
This should work.
