I kinda wiped away my phone's OS and I'm not sure how to fix it, help? - General Questions and Answers

Hi, so I was messing with the recovery mode on my phone when trying to install a new rom and somehow ended up wiping the os. I actually managed to install the rom, but I don't know what possessed me to start tapping random buttons and that's how it got messed up. Now my phone is stuck in fastboot mode and I don't know how to get it back to normal. Any advice on how would be a great help, thanks in advance.

Fastboot flash recovery, then try using adb commands to boot into recovery and flash your ROM again. Or, try extracting the system.img from your ROM, place the system.img(rename the file to system.img if it is labeled by another name) in your fastboot folder on PC, open a terminal and flash the system.img via fastboot using the following command:
fastboot flash system system.img

Try this
get into bootloader mode by pressing VOL DOWN + POWER button while turning on the phone. Connect it to PC, it should say FASTBOOT on the screen Put your backed up img files in the same folder as fastboot, then open command-prompt and do
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You'll need fastboot utility to do this and android sdk

no joy and nandroid back up only works if you backed up original before flashing............doesn't even work sometimes. i asked the guy you helped prev how he flashed it but no joy
Just go into fastboot mode (back + power)
Put system.img, boot.img and recovery.img in the tools folder of the android sdk
Open command prompt to the tools folder eg c:\android\tools
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
voila back to (unrooted) stock voda rom
Cant you simply use nandroid recovery to load them into your phone. Make a backup with nandroid system recovery, connect your phone to usb and replace the files in the "nandroid>Device ID"xxxxxxx">date" with the boot.img, cache.img etc.. then reboot phone in fastboot and do nandroid recovery. I'm not sure if this will work since i have not tried it, but i'm assuming it should as that's the folder i backed up on my PC when i used nandroid backup.

I need a quick answer guys..

I just helped a buddy (this never happened before) and his mytouch is rooted. He upgraded his SPL to Haykuro's and then, through fastboot, he flashed Amon_Ra's 1.2.2 recovery image. Now, we can't get it past the mytouch screen, but can get into fastboot. Any ideas?
Try flashing another rom?
If you can get into fastboot, you can send a new image to the phone.
I don't recall the exact commands, but if you're in fastboot, you're still good.

Great man...does anyone know the commands?
Fastboot the recovery image, and then from the recovery, you can flash the new rom.

the recovery image is there. We cant into to recovery to apply the rom.
Get yourself the proper recovery.img for that phone. Not sure what it is, but a quick search will find it. Search for 'mytouch recovery' or 'mt3g recovery'.
Then with the recovery image in your SDK tools folder, run:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
That should at least get you to a point where you can flash a new ROM and commit the proper recovery image to flash using adb commands.
I can't hold your hand through the whole thing, I don't have that phone, but I've been in your situation before.
Ok we tried it, now it says... FAILED(remote: partition does not exist!)
anyone have an idea?
Try to erase Cache
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
then flash recovery:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryxxxxxx***.img (***I'm not sure of the version you use...)

Yeah that's exactl what we did and it worked.
The thing is, we erased the recovvery image and reinstalled it, but now again, it won't go into recovery. I have a feeling he downloaded the wrong Amos_Ra recovery. Probably one for the 32a.

[Q] Maybe Bricked

Hello all, I'm hoping someone can help me out. I've looked around and cannot find someone with this exact problem. I think I bricked my xoom while flashing a fix. I can boot it, it goes past the red M to the Honeycomb animation, and then eventually just goes black. If I reboot with Power+volume up I can get to Clockwork, but I have nothing to flash as I was just rooted stock.
If I run ADB Devices, the Xoom is found. I tried to reset my Xoom though, so USB debugging is not on. This seems to limit what I can do (such as Fastboot). I'm stuck and tearing my hair out. Any ideas would be very welcome!
Edit: This is a US Wifi Xoom
Edit 2: As I watch the animation, I can occasionally see a flash of the Android setup screen) presumably from resetting).

You said that you could get into clockwork, have you tried doing a wipe and reload of the current tiamat rom?
I would, but I'm not sure how to get it on my device, as I can seem to mount USB drive access from Clockwork.
Hi
1st try to boot into recovery and wipe data and cache see if it will boot then.
Also as long as you can get into fastboot you can push the stock image files back to the xoom and bring it back to life.

Thanks Lorado. I did wipe both, but it still loops. I'd love to know how to push any image onto it at this point!
Hi
If you go to the development section I believe there is a step by step on how to go back to stock images with fastboot.

I've found the guide, but the problem is Fastboot doesn't seem to work (cmd says it is an unrecognized command). It worked previously, so I am guessing it might be because flashing reset the USB debugging.
Hi
You have to have the .img files in the same directory as adb, all commands should start with adb
ie adb fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

If I begin it with adb it just brings up the adb command list. When I rooted it was just 'fastboot'
Okay, I moved the files and got fastboot to run. Unfortunately, it fails with the message 'failed <remote: <00120000>>
Any idea how I could place a rom file in my Xoom without being able to boot it? I tried putting one on the sd card but it doesn't seem to be recognizing it.

There's a file called fastboot.exe that you need to download.
these are all the commands you should need.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache

ignore the adb was wrong on that one. I have added fastboot for you.

Softbricked X2

Hello!!
As the title says, my X2 became softbricked and I believe it is all due to the incorrect or incompatible TWRP manager installation from the Google Play Store. My X2 keeps on rebooting. I have tried to go to recovery and wipe the data and cache. I've also attempted to reinstall or downgrade to B106 from B106sp01 but it keeps on saying that it is incompatible. I've searched and read lot of posts on the forum and it brought me to fastboot TWRP recovery which is compatible to the X2. I've worked my way around the TWRP recovery despite the Chinese language and also flashed the B106 system, boot, cust, userdata, etc images through fastboot but I have no luck.
Has anyone been in this kind of problem with their Mediapad X2? please help :crying::crying::crying::crying:

You need to Fastboot flash the stock ROM, then wipe. That will fix your problem.

Download Huawei Update Extractor to extract the .APP file to a folder than you can use Fastboot to flash the boot.img cust.img, userdata.img, system.img, recovery.img which will bring you back to stock B106. This is how you recover from a soft brick.

I have no luck now... I think my only hope is to wait for a new firmware by Huawei which will be compatible to B106sp01. I've fully wiped the data and cache then flashed the boot, cache, cust, recovery, userdata, system images and I ended up in bootloop still. I think it's because fully wiping the phone does erase everything and flashing those 6 images was not enough or incomplete files sort of... :crying: :crying:
Thanks for your help though but I hope I find another way to fix it

Which stock rom did you Fastboot flash, B106 or SP01? Any time I've bootlooped (for example when I tried flashing xposed) I just fastboot flashed stock B106 and it boots right up. That's weird. Try booting into stock recovery (volume up and power) with the USB cable still in the computer and try it without being in it. Also try fastboot flashing the stock boot.img again (fastboot flash boot boot.img) it has to be something with the boot. You can also try fastboot flashing the super_bootb106 img file and see if it boots then. Or try flashing just the boot.img from the B106SP01 rom (extract the boot.img with Huawei Update Extractor)

When doing it make sure that the phone is not hooked to the computer or it will try to do a USB update which I know nothing about.
Hello, could someone help me?
I installed TWRP and accidentally pressed one of the buttons on the recovery, and the phone now does not leave the fastboot screen (rescue mode), and below the android figure appears:
Error!
Func NO: 10 (boot image)
Func NO: 2 (load failed)
Is it possible to resurrect the phone? If so, can anyone help me fix?
Sorry for the bad english.
Thank you.

You have to fastboot the factory boot.img or super.img with every one you were using
fastboot the recovery twrp recovery.img
fastboot the boot.img
search the forum for the extract tool and get the img files from the rom file that you were using.
PM me if you need help with fastboot commands.

Thanks for answering. I am newbie in these matters. If you can guide me with these fastboot commands, I am very grateful. I have the extractor update and have the extracted files (in this case, for V100R001C233B106 ROM), but the phone goes no longer in TWRP. Still, no way to fix this?

1. plug the phone up the computer and hold the volume down button down on the phone to get into fastboot mode.
2. Download https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByTxb-IFfEL-REcweFFWdlE4Nnc/editand put all those files into a folder on your computer.
3. Copy the extracted img files to the same folder that you got from your huawei firmware, "recovery.img, boot.img, cust.img, cache.img"
4. In the folder where you copied all that stuff - Hold down the shift key and write click in the white and Click on "Open command window Here".
A command prompt will appear.
Now it is time to work.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
5. remove your memory card from your phone and use a card reader and hook it to your computer and and copy the dload folder to the base of the memory card drive with the update.app file in it.
stick it back in your phone with the usb cable not connected. It should automatically start to install, but if not then hold all three buttons down until it does.
finished.

Accidentally delete everything using TWRP in "wipe"

Hey,
first of all i KNOW there is a subject with nearly the exact same topic, and i followed the directions but somethng doesn't work.
I still have TWRP on the phone, and when im in bootloader mode and run "fastboot devices" i see the result.
but i can't seem to ADB push or anything else (maybe im missing some commands?)
so i used the NRT root kit and i use the "fastboot flash" function and install the .img file - the software says my device is identified and it installs the system.img file (found on the "image-hammerhead-mra58k" zip), but then the device boots to TWRP and still can't boot to the system itself.
help please!
Sideload a factory rom and u will be fine. U can do it in the advanced portion of TWRP, but u need a pc, or ur hit

Sounds to me like you're using adb commands in fastboot.
Boot into bootloader (not recovery)
Type fastboot devices
It should return showing your device
Then you need to make sure you have stock img's downloaded and completely extracted so you have all the img files in the folder you're running fastboot from (rename the radio to simply radio.img)
Then type
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Then boot back into recovery and wipe cache and dvalik for just in case fun
Then reboot system and wait
