Hello Guys,
I'm now in deep deep trouble as my Nexus 5 has got soft bricked and now stuck in a bootloop. Yesterday evening i unrooted my device, flashed everything to stock and locked the bootloader back because i was getting a really awful battery life upon rooting. Hence thought of reverting to stock. So flashed the stock image of 4.4.2 and setup my phone just like it came from a factory. Only thing i did this time was disable some Google Apps i.e Play News, Games & Magazines, Movies etc. Till midnight it was working too good with only a marginal battery drain on idle i.e 1% in 2 hrs or so.
Today morning when i woke up, i just entered the PIN code and unlocked the homescreen and then it just got stuck. I restarted my device and since then, its just stuck in a bootloop and whenever the phone tries to restart the OS, its gives numerous errors all related to Play sErvices and something like android.process.acore and Media.
I tried to factory reset by going through the stock recovery but even in that it gives the errors " Failed to mount /cache" and "Failed to mount /cache/recovery" with invalid arguments in the brackets.
Now i can't even flash stock as the Bootloader is in Locked State. I'm able to flash unlock Bootloader but when it asks to restart "fastboot reboot", it again gets stuck on the Google Play services error resulting again in locked state. That leaves me with a LOCKED BOOTLOADER, STOCK RECOVERY & NO USB DEBUGGING ENABLED.
What can i do now to get my device working people ? Feel like :crying: since its happened. Moreover, i can't RMA it as I'm now in a different country from where the phone wasn't purchased.

The tool specifically asks for Unlocked Bootloader and like i've already mentioned, its in a lock state. To unlock that, i need to have USB debugging enabled which i can't enable as i'm not able to even see the lockscreen, just stuck in a bootloop. :crying: I'm able to launch the Fastboot Mode and also partially unlock the bootloader but as soon as i type the command "fastboot reboot", the device again goes into bootloop starting the cycle again
Any more suggestions guys or should i assume my Nexus to be a paperweight ?

Go to the stock recovery and format cache.. Do it a couple of times till the /cache errors go away and then go to the bootloader and flash the stock factory images again. After flashing the stock images, don't boot it up, head over to the stock recovery and perform a factory reset and then reboot!

You can use command in fastboot "fastboot oem unlock" to unlock then reboot in fastboot again, and try this instruction (since you unlocked you should be able to do this).

(BTW you dont have to reboot after bl unlock.
fastboot oem unlock
then flash stock images iwhtout reboot)
What? USB Debugging doesn't have to be enabled. Bootloader unlocking is done from fastboot via 'fastboot oem unlock'.

Bitdomo tried you awesome tool which gave me a slight hope that could revive my Nexus but sadly it didn't :crying: Memory size is matched 32G but userdata erase fails and at last the Download FAIL error is there I just don't know what is preventing the Cache and User Data to erase. Same is the case in Stock Recovery as well.
Can you please get me a solution on this. Would be highly obliged :good:

Successfully unlocked bootloader finally and installed TWRP. Booted in TWRP and performed Data Wipe and it failed. Again unable to mount /cache /persist /data etc commands showed. Then it tried formatting using make_ext4fs function but it failed. Swiped for a factory reset and it failed.
Used your ADB command afterwards and it displayed first daemon started successfully on port 5037 and then error in cmd : device not found.
What next ?
EDIT : Just noticed on the TWRP screen that my internal storage space is being shown as Zero (0) MB Now does this means my flash storage has died ? If that's the case and i need to RMA it, how to relock the bootloader , reset tamper flag and load stock recovery so that google doesn't cause any warranty issues. Please help me in that case as well.
EDIT 2 : Using fastboot, tried flash stock cache.img and userdata.img, it failed. When i flash system.img it went through perfectly. Also, got to know that the steps which you mentioned earlier, TWRP was booted temporarily and bootloader was unlocked temporarily. So does this means i don't need to relock or flash back something ? And, if i've unlocked and relocked the bootloader numerous times, how do i reset tamper flag ?

You could try one more thing. Format the /presist partition, For some reason it magically fixed other's devices, like for this guy and for an other in that same thread, but if you format it you will lose your wifi and bluetooth mac address, and some kind of DRM stuff. I made a tutorial how to fix wifi and bluetoot mac address problem after the formating, but I cant tell anything about the drm kind of files, because I still didnt get answers form the guys in that thread. That could mean they are experiencing no problems. Here is the zip which formats persist partition.

I tried all sort of things before finally giving up. Ultimately sent the device for RMA. Thanks for your inputs as well
@bitdomo, i have realised it was a case of dead memory chip only. I managed to relock the bootloader and reset the tamper flag (oem device info showed Tamper as "false") but now my only cause of concern is the LG Flash Tool. When i flashed the KOT9H firmware, it changed the original device version as mine came with 4.4 OOTB instead of 4.4.2. Can Google refuse the RMA citing this now ? Rest all, the kernel, recovery, bootloader, tamper flag is all stock. I coudn't even change that back to the original device version as i couldn't transfer any zip to the internal storage as it was dead.

Google can't get your actual device factory version, because it is only visible with lg flashtool, and that tool is an internal lg software. Google has nothing to with that tool.
By the way this lgfalsh tool makes your phone offical, because this is the offical tool used in LG service centres!!!!
Can you imagine a guy at google who takes your phone flashes a custom recovery, reads back the misc partition and search for the factory device version in the hex code. Then he checks your phone serial number and sees 310K then denies your rma request because your device factory version cant be that because in oktober 2013 there were no 4.4.2? I think no.
But if it bothers you then, you can flash krt16m, or if your nexus 5 had to do big update ~150 mb ota update then flash kfs78n if your device is D821 or flash kqs81m if your device is D820. Converted roms work too without problems I have tested them.

I have already sent the defective one for RMA so there's no question of flashing any files now. Google sends the new replacement device and and lieu of that they block temporarily the device's price for a period of 14-21 days in which the service centre ppl check for the issues what got the device in. And i think LG only is handling that as it made the device ? So my question still remains now can the LG guys intimate Google that the phone was flashed. ? But on the positive, the flash tool was of LG and it can't be turned unofficial What say ? I don't wish to pay again for a new device. If the service centre guys gives a thumbs up that phone indeed died as a result of hardware failure like emmc chip, then the card block is removed.
BTW, i am not aware whether Google itself handles the service or asks LG to do the same! Any inputs ?
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.
Hi Guys,
I think I f...ed up big time...
My device was rooted and I tried to unroot/factory reset to give it to my wife. Since I'm now sitting here for about 5 hrs I try to summarize what I've been doing:
1. I started with trying to Flash a Factory Image with the ALL-IN-ONE Tool
- My Device was on the Latest Oxygen OS 11 and I just stupidly followed the instructions of the Tool and downloaded a OOS 10 based Stock Rom and flashed it (thats where my nightmare began)
- After I flashed the OOS 10 Stock Rom I was Stuck in at the Open Bootloader warning screen ("the boot loader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be guaranteed ...")
2. Since there is no (at least I couldn't find one for the life of me) OOS 11 fastboot stock ROM I tried to downgrade via an OOS Beta ROM I found in a downgrade guide
- That didn't work either and I ended up stuck at the same Screen
3. After some googling I came across this guide and tried to manually flash a none fastboot OOS 11 ROM by manually extracting all the images of the payload.bin
- After I extracted all the images I flashed them one by one as mentioned in the guide via fastboot and this ended up with
Qualcomm Crash Dump mode dm-verity device corrupted force dump Kernel restart
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. After that I panicked a little since I've never seen this error before and tried to Flash the OOS 10 based Stock rom via the ALL-IN-ONE Tool again
- This worked with no errors but now I'm still stuck in the "Open Bootloader warning Screen"
Since then I tried Step 4 with another OOS 11 none fastboot ROM but now I keep getting following error everytime I try to flash one of the extracted images via fastboot (which worked before):
FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I did some research, seems like this error indicates a locked bootloader which is wrong, bootloader is still unlocked.
Even if I try to unlock the bootloader again I get the reply that bootloader cannot be unlocked since it already is unlocked.
So now I'm stuck with a completely f...ed up device with absolutely no clue if and how I can fix this.
I really hope anyone of you guys can help ...
Apologies for the bad writing but it's 5 am and I'm tired and frustrated af ...
greetings from Germany.

EDIT: Oh and yes, I know about the MSM-Tool and tried it but I can't get it to work since my device is not showing. I followed this guide several time but nothing is happening and my device is not even showing in the device manager. Only time it shows in the device manager is when in fastboot mode.
Guys I finally did it.
I deinstalled all stale/inactive drivers and reinstalled the Qualcomm drivers and finally managed to get the MSM Tool up and running and revived the phone.
hello all.
i was trying to root my xiaomi mi a2.
I followed all steps from this site -> https://www.thecustomdroid.com/root-xiaomi-mi-a2-a2-lite-android-pie-magisk
everything done correctly, no error nothing (correct version of boot.img)
only thing i did differently is that i flash that img for cmd not powershell, but it worked fine.
after restarting it tries to load system like 5 mins and then showing message "can't load android system. your data may be corrupted...)
1) try again 2) factory reset. none of them worked. Also bootloader is unlocked.
Now I'm downloading firmware my exact model V11.0.28.0.QDIMIXM.
so can I flash that fresh firmware like showed on that website (fastboot flash boot new_firmware.img) will it work?
And another problem I don't have USB debugging on.
so if this does not going to help me, then what can i do else?
########## UPDATE #######
I managed to flash with new fastboot rom and miflashtool, phone is working without any problem, but i want to still know what did cause this brick ?

When the phone tries to reboot, I get the dreaded error message, "Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt....."
On my PC I issued the command, >adb devices, but no devices were found.
This is probably because I did not enable USB debugging, when the phone was still working.
I'm trying to avoid doing a factory reset, because I don't want all my data wiped.
According to the following article, you can flash an OTA file using "adb sideload" command, even without enabling USB debugging.
However, everything else I've read says that adb commands work only when USB debugging is enabled.

Can someone perhaps clarify whether or not USB debugging is required for using adb commands?
Thank you very much,

I think, In stock recovery only the adb sideload command works so it don't need USB Debugging to be turned ON.

Thanks for your input. Encouraged by your input, I read the article again and realized that I have to put the phone in sideload mode first.
So, I went back to the stock recovery mode and selected the menu item, "Apply update from ADB". Then I see the message on the phone, "Now send the package you want to apply....with adb sideload <filename>". Now that I thought the phone was in sideload mode, on the PC I entered ">adb devices". This time it recognized the device and displayed the device name. However, it also displayed the word, "unauthorized", after the device name. According to the article, if sideload is properly entered, it should display the word, "sideload".
Anyway I tried entering ">adb sideload update.zip", and I got the error message, "device unauthorized".
So, any idea how to get the phone to be authorized?
If this is not possible, I was thinking of replacing the stock recovery with a custom recovery like TWRP. This way I can at least back up all my data first before doing a factory reset. However, I believe installing TWRP requires the bootloader to be unlocked, which automatically wipes all data. So, this defeats the purpose of installing TWRP in the first place
Is there some trick to install TWRP without unlocking the bootloader?
Thank you

As you already know this is not possible without unlocking bootloader, I will explain further more to make it easy to understand.
If you don't unlock your bootloader and try flashing TWRP on your phone using ODIN Flash Tool then maybe your phone get into an veification error and your phone will end up in a softbrick. You can repair your phone by flashing your phone's stock firmware using ODIN Flash Tool, eventually you will wnd up loosing all your data.
Also unlocking bootloader in Samsung devices is so easy by turning OEM Unlocking in Developer options, but you don't seem to have access to your phone.
An Unlocked Bootloader is the PASS, which allows you to do custom thing to your phone. So without it, this won't work, maybe that is why you got that error “Can’t Load Android System Your Data May Be Corrupt”.
ALTERNATIVELY you can try flashing your phone's OLD original Stock Firmware using ODIN Flash Tool and see what happens. You can also try flashing TWRP through ODIN Flash Tool. Only flash OFFICIAL TWRP made for your device (if any), otherwise you don't have options I guess.
also Why didn't you Unlocked Bootloader before flashing a custom rom? because of warranty?

Thanks very much for your detailed explanations and for your continued support.
Let me answer your question first about why I didn't unlock the bootloader before flashing a custom ROM. Let me backtrack and explain how this problem came about in the first place. My phone was doing an automatic system update two weeks ago (Android 13). After downloading and installing, it tried to boot up. That's when it got stuck in an infinite rebooting loop. At that point, I had no way to change any settings on the phone.
Also, to clear up any confusion, I was not trying to flash a custom ROM. I was simply trying to flash the stock ROM (Android 13), supposedly the same firmware version as the OTA that broke my phone after the automatic system update. I was thinking that perhaps there was an internet glitch during the automatic system update process, which corrupted the OS. So, I was just trying to re-install the same version as the OTA to see if that would solve the problem.
I had also thought about flashing the original version that came with the device (Android 11). But, I think I read somewhere that either Samsung phones do not allow the user to downgrade, or even if it does allow you do so, the downgrading process will wipe out the existing data on the phone. Perhaps you can confirm that or not?
In the meantime, as you suggested, I will look into how to flash TWRP.
Thank you
