Cant flash new recovery..

Hey guys,
i have a rooted A700 with the 2. method of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727105 . Now i want to install JB, but normal update wont work because of rooting the device, since then i am forced to use CWM. I tried the CWM-based Recovery 6.0.1.4 but getting error "FAILED (remote: (00120000))" when i flash it via fastboot. Note Bootloader is unlocked!
I then tried to flash the stock-recovery, because i thought the rooting might have overwritten something, but i get the same error.. i searched for the code, but didnt find anything which could lead me in a direction to search for the origin of the problem..
Hope any of you guys can help me..

hellooooooooo well.....i ll try to help u:
1) Download the CWM 6.0.1.5 version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791165)
2) Get the tablet into the fastboot mode (Vol - & PWR....and then cycle the rotation lock)
2) Reflash the CWM (command: fastboot flash recovery <archive.img>
3) Download the JB Rom (recommend: GB Version or Nightly Version)
4) Root the tablet with a JB Root.....NOT A ICS ROOT
I think u dont ve problems with the bootloader then u dont ve to reflash that product.
Tell me.....

Sometimes, as experience with flashboot and NVFlash, we either try a different PC, or a different USB port. Even an improper USB cable can mess things up. Personally, I use my HTC cable for both the 501 and 701.

still not working?

Didnt try cwm mod again since my jelly bean update worked with the stock French ROM.

ok.....did u root it???

i try to follow this thread to flash cwm6.0.1.5 but i got the "waiting for device" for a long time after type this command "fastboot flash recovery recovery-a700-6015.img" anybody encounter the same problem? and any solution?

how can i get the fastboot mode? I press power + vol down to start my tablet, but it seems only go to recovery mode.

To get the fasboot mode: Vol - & PWR, wait the short vibrate and then CYCLE THE ROTATION LOCK.
Look the screen, if u have the line: ......USB Fastboot mode......DONE (or something like that)
Use the fastboot command now and then use the command adb reboot to "reboot" again ur tablet.

I try to switch on and off repeatedly the rotation lock after the vibrate but still cannot see the line "...USB Fastboot mode..." instead it directly boot to the normal screen.
ROTATION LOCK is the button next to the Vol + key, right?
Thanks

the rotation lock is like a "switch"....
try this:
1) push the Vol - and keep ur finger there.
2) turn on ur tablet
3) wait the vibrate and cycle the rotation lock but WHILE your finger still at the VOL -
Sorry for my bad english.....

Hello, I also cannot use adb to boot to download mode. To be honest, I am not quite sure what is download mode. Is it similar to fastboot mode? My S6 cannot boot, it just says that there is no home app available, and than just error after error. Cannot use it at all. So I tried to boot to download mode, no success with buttons combination (home+volume down+power). so I installed adb and fastboot. ADB doesnt see my phone, and fastboot does, but I do not know what is command for it. I would like to use Odin to flash new rom, maybe that will fix the phone, but cannot use it if I cannot go to download mode. So any help is welcome.

Need help! Super soft Bricked stock phone. Tried many methods!

Hi all. So my stock opo somehow got bricked overnight while charging. It's completely stock and I have no idea why.
Status of my problem:
-Stuck on Android boot screen.
-Able to access fastboot.
-Can't access recovery mode
-No TRWP
-it's still locked
-Tried unlocking with fastboot oem unlock cmd / toolbox but it just reboots back to android stuck screen after its done but its still locked after checking with fastboot oem device-info cmd.
*USB debugging not enabled (cant enable it cuz i cant go in my phone duh)
-Cm11 33r I think...
-Installed android adb on device manager
But couldn't detect it on the list ("adb devices" cmd)
-Able to detect serial using fastboot device cmd tho.
-Tried universal adp, adb bootloader driver, Samsung adb driver, composite driver and it still won't detect it on list.
-Tried using another usb port.
-computer doesn't detect phone unless I go on fastboot or hold power+up volume for 10 sec (this shows QHUSB_BULK)
-Tried using msm9874downloadtool.exe with cm 11, doesn't do anything even tho it's completed and it's green.
-Tried using msm9874downloadtool.exe with color os but it doesnt work as well, in fact, it made my screen have multiple grey lines vertically across my screen and no fastboot display or android display.
-Tried just flashing Cm11 33r images but it won't work cuz I'm locked.
-Tried unlocking but goes back to my other problem of device not being on the list and not having usb debugging enabled.
Tldr;
Phone stuck on Android boot screen
USB debugging not enabled
Phone is not unlocked so I can't flash anything
Thanks for your time and effort. I really need help.

I still need help guys plzzz. Thankss

Have you tried getting into download mode? I think you power it off. Connect to USB and hold vol down? Or vol down + power. Something like that. Once in DL mode, flash it. There's a tutorial somewhere.

download mode? you mean fast boot? power + down doesnt load anything. Power + up goes into fastboot mode.
And i cant flash anything because you have to unlock the phone first. But mine is not unlocked. And i cant unlock it with fastboot oem unlock cmd because all it does it reboots my phone. Yes i checked if im unlocked after that with fastboot oem device-info.

First try to go to recovery by pressing volume down+ power button at the same time and then clear data and factory reset. This will wipe out ur data on phone but u can revive ur device by flashing stock rom using flashing tolls available... Check youtube videos for flashing tools.
Once you clear the data and factory reset from recovery mlde then ur device will be at the state where there is no OS in it n just a stock kernel. Give it a try and let me know

I can't get into recovery. Power + down only stays at android boot screen.

Have the exact same issue. Did you find a fix???

Even if your bootloader is not unlocked you can flash stock rom. Use oneplus one flashtool and flash cm11s. There are plenty of videos available on net for these problem, just go through them or try the hard bricked video to solve your problem. I hope it helps you. I lost my one device because of a silly mistake so i know the pain.

I've tried flashing stock rom. Cm11 33r. But it keeps telling me I'm locked.

put it on fastboot mode, download the stock rom from this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541
Choose carefully between 16gb or 64
unzip the file and click on the flashall.bat or something like that , it's a script and it will flash everything
and you should be good
you will loose all your data, i don't know if you dont flash userdata and you remove it from the file and remove it's line from the script, maybe you wont loose your data, but try it
if you want i can help you through teamviewer

TWRP: Once the flash has completed, Don't use the "Fastboot Reboot" Command Instead
Unplug Your phone then
turn it off
Manually boot it into recovery by keeping Power + Volume Down button pressed.

Does this MSM Tool also work for OnePlus?
To search just with your favorite Search-Engine for this tool is one thing, do you know the link to a trustworthy source?
By the way, I cannot lock my bootloader (just like the OP) and I would like to go back to stock. I found a Video, but it says I need Oxygen OS 4.0.2, if anybody knows where I can get that ?

recovery mode

hi, I hope I'm in the right place to get help with my issue. my Ace is in a reboot loop that i can't seem to get it out of. i have tried force rebooting and lt will not enter into recovery mode so that each time i would hit recovery mode the screen goes blank for a few seconds then the moto logo (M powered by Android) screen comes on with vibration for six seconds then again to blank repeating this loop until i again hold power and volume down buttons. I do have a lot of apps installed but this phone has a whole lot of memory that came with it. I am hoping this forum may have some ideas to help me rectify this issue. thank you.

While connected to a pc, enter the fastboot - w command. This will erase the internal memory and your phone should be able to boot.

thank you for responding. I connected my phone to my laptop but it does not detect it. my phone has, highlighted in red, AP fastboot flash mode (secure). also, tools mode: Disabled, and OEM locked

If you can reboot to recovery, try a factory reset.

thats the problem I"m having is getting into the recovery. I hold the volume down and the power buttons down till I can see the options recovery mode, but when I click on it by pushing on the power button, that's when it goes into the loop mode and never goes into recovery.

Use the Lenovo tool to download and flash the stock rom which includes a recovery.

I did what you adviced and I was instructed to enable debugging or fastboot mode in order to be able to rescue. But if I was able to do either one of those that means I wouldn't need help booting up. follow what I'm saying? because I would have to get into the settings to enable debugging or fastboot mode, somthing I can't do because my phone will not boot up.

To enable fastboot moode, hold the power button and the volume down button at the same time. This should put you in the right place. You should get red text that says you are in fastboot mode. If not, go to https://t.me/motoblankflash and ask for help.
