Question HELP!!!! - ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s

I relocked bootloader and now phone won't boot past bootloader. It's only giving options to "start/ recovery/ restart bootloader/ power off" Phone is getting recognised in fastboot, but since I relocked bootloader I can't flash anything at all. Kindly help me what I can do for this mess. I tried using bootloader lock commands and it's saying bootloader already locked. I'm feeling helpless. Kindly help

First try and enter recovery and see of you can do a factory reset. Can you do that?

Not entering recovery or anything! It's just stuck there. When I turn off and try to restart it again stays the same ie. On bootloader.

I mean can you scroll with the volume up/down buttons to you see Recovery and push the power button to enter recovery like normal? If you can, try doing a factory reset from there. If that's not possible, try doing a RAW firmware install - but check if you can just do a normal reset first..

If adb works just try with
Code:
adb flashing unlock
or
Code:
adb oem unlock
If it doesn't work reboot to bootloader and try again.

Even if I prees button on recovery it against reboots to same place. It's like an example infinite bootloop.

OK. Guessing you've locked the bootloader with a tampered boot.img without flashing stock boot back first. You should be able to use a RAW file to rebuild the firmware (your private stuff will be lost though).

No I've flashed stock boot.img before and flashed afterwards. Can I still flash anything with bootloader locked?

Yes I'm quite sure you should be able to flash a clean firmware with a RAW rom. Use the FTM flashall script.

This probably shouldn't be a how to guide and the title should be something more descriptive than "help"
A how to guide typically includes instructions, like this one:
WARNING: Read BEFORE Locking Bootloader
DO NOT LOCK THE BOOTLOADER WHILE ROOTED! When locking the bootloader while rooted, the boot image will fail verification and the system will fail to boot. You cannot flash a stock boot image with a locked bootloader. Locking the bootloader will...

The good news is that you can still flash a raw firmware with the bootloader locked.

Soft bricked shield tablet PLEASE HELP!

So I bought my shield tablet back in March, used it until about may I think. Was browsing the internet then it suddenly crashed and got stuck on the Nvidia boot screen. tried to reboot several times. Nothing. So I forgot about it and thought I would just google the reset option later when I had time. Now since June I have tried everything! From factory reset to fast boot and adb my pc won't even recognize my tablet. Also I never turned on usb dbugging cause I didn't even know what that was. I even gave it to the IT guys at work and they couldn't fix it. Now after reading everything there is to read on this problem and trying to fix it myself I'm stuck on the no command screen with the dead android robot. And now I hear there is a recall do to the battery, I can't even check what type I have. So if someone can please help me I would be much appreciative. Also this happened after updating to the latest OS.
okay so i was able to unlock the bootloader and start flashing but from fastboot flash recovery.img and beyond it says failed to write. any ideas of why?

Hello,
Did you use "Fastboot flash recovery.img" as your command line??
I believe it is "Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
If you were able to unlock bootloader you're on the right track.

TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is a custom recovery that you can flash on your device. You can flash it like the stock recovery over fastboot. With TWRP you can make full system backups, installing roms or other stuff, wipe partitions and more. Keep trying to install the drivers on your pc. Try to use another usb slot or boot your pc into test mode to install the driver. If you can still access the bootloader, you have really good chances to rescue your device.
Okay will try that. Thanks man.

I see what your doing wrong. You probably don't even have the recovery img to flash. That's why it's giving you a write error.
There is a tutorial in the general section, that should have all the files and links, etc etc that you'll need to flash TWRP/CWM recovery and root the device if you want

First off, let me ask, what is your end result for the tablet?? Are you trying to just go a Complete stock tablet or are you trying to do anything custom (ex. Custom rom, recovery etc etc)
I'm assuming that since you unlocked your Bootloader, your trying to do something custom.

Those official nVidia recovery images come with smaller .img files such as recovery.img, system.img, etc. You'll need to flash those one by one ("fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", then run "fastboot flash system system.img", etc. etc.) or you can just run the flashall script that I think is included in the nVidia images.
Otherwise, if you want to flash TWRP, you'll need to download the TWRP recovery (you can rename it to "twrp-recovery.zip"). Then you'll need to "fastboot flash twrp-recovery.zip" in order to flash the twrp recovery to your tablet.

OK. Then the link I gave earlier should help flash stock software onto your tablet.
However, that guide is only to go back to factory "state" Operating System wise. It may not help with hardware. Once your flash everything correctly but device still doesn't boot, its probably not software related.

After you unlocked the device but before trying to flash anything else on the device, try putting the shield into Fastboot mode. At the bootloader, select fastboot using the volume buttons.

So i selected "fastboot protocol" it blipped for a second then brought me back to the bootloader. tried flashing again and once i reached the fastboot flash system system.img it said write failed again. did it not engage the "fastboot protocol"?
Bringing you back to the bootloader was expected behavior. The "write fail" is a mystery to me. Sorry, that is all that I can offer.

Use fastboot & ADB guide for beginners. Download all required files so your PC can Connect to OPO VIA USB from PC. What PC OS do u use? Windows or Linux. Watch how to unlock boot loader, root, & install recovery tool or Return to stock OnePlus one YouTube video. Easiest start. Your phone will be OK. U need to down load drivers so u can use your PC to talk to your phone - pass instruction & activate 1+1 options. Install CM 11 or whatever ROM u want to use, as well as, 1+1 tools u may have lost is Recovery Tool.

You don't need a recovery to unlock the bootloader. Just boot it into fastboot mode, connect it to your Mac, and type 'fastboot oem-unlock' on the Terminal. Be careful, though, because you WILL lose ALL of your data!

Hmmm no recovery? When u hold down volume + power ?
Did u find the fastboot & adb tools for Mac?
What happens when u hold volume key up + power button at same time after turning device off?
What happens if u $fastboot devices -
Can u issue cmd "$fastboot oem unlock"
Know its frustrating but have to keep trying till u get in. Just have the rom files unzipped on your Mac ready to flash 1+1 when u get in. Its how I did it. When I wasn't able to but into recovery. Get on fastboot go thru OEM unlock, then flash 1+1. Follow the install script manually. Open script w plain text reader & just issue cmds following script. I don't trust scripts I + automation to get things unstuck.

Use Google, there are plenty of guides available online. Once you have fastboot working the best thing to do is to flash the stock images with fastboot. I have detailed instructions in section 8a of my guide here:

Please note that fastboot commands are slightly different on a Mac but you'll see that when you view a guide on how to set it up and use it.

You definitely can't boot into recovery? Most times not being able to get into recovery it's a case of user error. Hold volume down, then hold power (so you're holding them together), when you see the OnePlus boot logo let go of power but keep holding volume down until you reach recovery.

[Q] Boot from a compatible custom recovery

Since it's possible to boot a recovery image without flashing it, by connecting the phone to the computer and typing
Code:
fastboot reboot <downloaded img file>
could I harm my LG K4 K-120E mobile phone if I boot from several images for different LG Kx devices? For example, from K5, K8 and K10 TWRP images.
My goal is to make (and RESTORE) a Nandroid backup of this device with a compatible recovery image, because this device has no development at all and there is no specific CWM/TWRP recovery image for it. Furthermore, not even ROM Manager, TWRP Manager or Online Nandroid Backup apps are supported.
Thanks in advance

It souldn't do anything that can brick your phone as far as I know. Just make sure you have an unlocked bootloader.
To unlock bootloader do this:
Warning: This will DELETE ALL USER DATA!
1. Go to Settings -> Developer Options -> Enable "OEM Unlock"
If you can't find the option don't worry. Not all phones have it.
2. Boot into fastboot mode
3. Execute command: "fastboot oem unlock"
P.S.: You can edit your posts. You don't have to post new ones.

You have to unlock the bootloader to use fastboot. Fastboot boot is meant for booting unsafe images so nothing happens.
You can't revert the procedure with a backup, but you can with "fastboot oem lock". This will re lock your bootloader.

Is the Fastboot UNLOCK procedure an universal method for all Android phones? Is it not needed an unlock code for certain devices? Can I apply it to a Xperia Z1 Compact and to a Galaxy Grand Prime VE (G531F) too?

The fastboot mehtod is universal and yes. For some phones you need a code. They are probably available on the phone's website.
Hi Sorry to dig this thread out after 5+ years.
Anyone got any luck with TWRP image for this phone.
My device is LG K4 (120E) - presumably E for Europe.
Hi Everything the OP has said in the first OP has worked for me, which rooted the phone with SU access and a LG stock rom
However, as strange as it sounds, am still searching for CWM / TWRP image file that work as I still can't get a custom recovery image.
Anyone else facing the same problem?

Need help asap pixel bricked

Hi, I really need your assistance for my pixel. I locked my bootloader after unrooting my phone. This process totally bricked my phone(I can't even get to the booting process of the phone) (I get a message saying that my phone is corrupt). I am able to gain access to my fastboot. So I was wondering if there was a way for me to flash the factory image to my phone and get it to work again. Please of there is anything you can do, please help me.

I'm really afraid there's nothing you can do. Before relocking the bootloader, you must go back to an approved stock firmware. (See, when you rooted it, you changed it.)

I unrooted my device, so then after I can lock my bootloader. I'm just wondering if that's how I was supposed to do it.
If you have downloaded the full image from Google servers, try if you can fastboot using the boot image from the full image. It that boots your phone, you could try enabling unlock, get into fastboot to unlock for flashing. You can then flash the full image from unlocked fastboot

Is there any way you could lead my step by step. I don't want to screw up my phone even more. + I'm new to the community and don't know much.
You can use the fastboot continue command.
This will boot up your phone normally and then you will be able to go to developer settings and enable oem unlocking again.
After this you will be able to unlock from fastboot again.

If you have downloaded the full image from Google servers, try if you can fastboot using the boot image from the full image. It that boots your phone, you could try enabling unlock, get into fastboot to unlock for flashing. You can then flash the full image from unlocked fastboot

Question How do I flash stock ROM with locked bootloader?

Hi guys,
so after I got my xiaomi with a global ROM and wanted to update and that is when I accidentally relocked the bootloader. The version of ROM was invalid apparently and wouldn't let me boot and now I'm stuck in fastboot mode.
My problem is as follows:
-can't enter recovery, stuck at fastboot no matter how many times I try and reboot
-adb not working since I didn't enable it
-bootloader locked (miflash says so and it can't unlock it since I didn't check 'oem unlock enable' and I cannot boot ROM so I can't enable it)
-fastboot flashing says 'not allowed in lock state'
-edl mode not available
I've seen tutorials where people opened their phones to force the phone into edl mode via the testing points but is that the only way`?
Any suggestions on how I could unbrick it?
Much appreciated
yes, it is the only way.

you can use this tool to flash the phone on fastboot mode
Xiaomi King Tool - Home.
xiaomikingtool.com
its cost you only 5 credit
Can you flash files by fastboot? if so, flash the global rom images one by one, then reboot

			
				
I know this is a late reply, but I was in a similar situation with my phone and here is how I dealt with it: You need to access EDL mode, it doesn't require disassembling the device like the other user here suggested. Here is a thread you can find several variations of fixes here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/xiaomi-12-pro-completely-bricked-dead.4422997/
If anyone needs help with a locked bootloader bootlooped phone and doesn't know what to do I can help for a fee.

So even with a locked bootloader and disabled developer options, I can still flash stock rom in edl mode, regardless?

So that's why I get the error "operation not allowed for write" in QFIL... What do i do then? Is there a way to unlock bootloader in edl mode? I can't access recovery mode because of the bootloop... Only EDL mode

Have you tried to flash stock rom?
I mean, if you have Chinese rom before, just flash with latest Chinese rom.

Try to flash the .img files of the fastboot rom, unzip the rom and find all the .img files and flash them with CMD from fastboot, one by one

Hello, My Poco X3 System destroyed itself while I was using it, it showed a glitch screen and turned off. Now I went to flash my mobile through Miflash but it showed the bootloader is locked and now I can't unlock it as the system itself is destroyed and can't do anything. So i wanted to know if i can flash my mobile with cmd as you said above flashing img files one by one or let me know if there is any method to flash my mobile or unlock the bootloader? Please me help bro
flashing is possible with modified firehose programmer (no auth factory loader) or with authorized xiaomi account. both solutions are paid service and cannot advertised here.
please -as always- read the thread you posted in. I can see useful information shared already. wait for other replies.

Hi, try to flash the .img files from the fastboot stock rom whit cdm in fastboot, one by one, some files will give error but skip that, then reboot the phone as normal, it should work.
example:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
etc.

If it were that simple, it would have been known for a long time.

I had a Mi 9T and by mistake I installed a recovery that didn't correspond to it, the phone got bricked, and the only way to save it was like this, I searched and read everywhere but I couldn't find a solution, flashing the .img files was my idea, I didn't know if it would work but it did.

To install a recovery, the bootloader must be unlocked.
