Hello,
I think my XT1541 (16GB/2GB Retail GB) with locked bootloader might be hard-bricked.
I was running the stock 5.11 firmware when I did the 6.0 update and since then my phone is stuck in a bootloop.
Motorola won't repair it because I had to replace the screen and the phone is out of warranty.
I can access the bootloader but if I select recovery mode the phone just keeps bootlooping and I can't get into recovery.
I followed the instructions here to flash a stock firmware using fastboot. All the steps complete successfully but after rebooting, the phone is still stuck in a bootloop and I can't get into recovery.
I wanted to install a custom recovery but I'm unable to unlock my bootloader because of this error:
Code:
(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.
FAILED (remote failure)
Obviously I can't check that option as the phone won't boot.
So, is it hard bricked? Is there anything I can do to get my phone to work again?
Thanks a lot for your help!
How many system images do you need to flash? Sometimes there can be more than 6, sometimes there can be fewer.

I know, I flashed the correct number of system images that were in the zip file.

If u are bootlooping when trying to enter recovery , then prolly the recovery is the issue. I'd suggest flash the recovery.IMG again and then proceed with flashing the rest of the .IMG files.

So basically:
Code:

fastboot reboot
and then check if I can access recovery? Or issue that command and then all the other fastboot commands in the guide?

I tried that and it didn't work. When I try to go into recovery mode the phone keeps bootlooping.
One thing I noticed is that when I try to format cache or userdata I get this error:
Code:
$ fastboot format cache
formatting 'cache' partition...
Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw'.
FAILED ()
finished. total time: 0.013s
I think there might be something wrong with the file system in my partitions. How can I manually format my partitions?
Thanks,
man , if you really need recovery, type fastboot boot recovery.img . It will temporaily boot you into stock recovery. Wipe cache and data there

I was running 5.1.1 when I got the notification for the 6.0 update.
I've noticed that trying to flash 5.1.1 firmware with fastboot gives me errors (preflash validation failed) while the 6.0 work "fine" (i.e.: I get OKAY after every step but then the phone is always stuck in a bootloop).
Thanks!
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DOWNGRADE BOOTLOADER.IMG OR GPT.IMG !!!!!!! DONT FLASH LOLLIPOP VERSION OF THOSE FILES ON A DEVICE RUNNING 6.0
plz tell me u didnt flash those files..

Well I wasn't sure what version I was running to be honest so I think I tried to flash the gpt.img from 5.1.1 at some point but it failed with the preflash validation failure. I've always only flashed the 6.0 firmware files.

Yes, no luck unfortunately.
I think I might have flashed the 5.1.1 bootloader after all - is there any way to recover from there?
Thanks,
Bump!
Does anyone have any other suggestion please?
Thanks,
Last bump
I'm going to sell this on eBay as non-working then unless someone comes up with a clever solution?
Thanks for your help!
Try flashing once more starting with the gpt.bin (that should hopefully take care of raw partition error) and skipping the bootloader altogether. Also, may be worthwhile to try mfastboot.exe instead of fastboot.exe.
I have this same issue, but I haven't flash 5.1.1 Files, I Only tried with 6.0 Brazil Retail.
I also tried to flash gpt to get rid of the "raw" partition, everything goes ok but still displaying that error. Anyone can help?
I got the same problem with my Moto E 2015... If I find a solution I will reply it in this topic..
My Honor View10 is stuck at 'Your device is booting now', cannot enter recovery. I tried rectifying my twrp that couldn't unmount anything and wiped up almost everything, but ended up with a boot loop.
Now my device is stuck at 'Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. Your device is booting now' screen. I tried using the dload method to restore everything back but the device won't go past this screen.
I tried flashing it using fastboot mode by flashing system, ramdisk and what not, did get a success every time, still, the device won't go past this.
I need genuine help on this, please. Anyone? @2WildFirE? @Einwod? @shashank1320 @oreopie
All this perhaps happened because I tried changing the file system of data and system from twrp.

Why you tried changing filesystem on data?
Twrp isn't ready for pie ? atm
Flash stock recovery and erecovery, then boot to erecovery and restore from there

Because custom recovery wouldn't mount anything.
Had no idea that twrp isn't ready for pie.
For both stock and ereccovery, do I use ramdisk_recovery command?

How exactly would one go about this?
fastboot flash erecovery_ramdisk ERECOVERY_RAMDI.img for example only results in FAILED (remote: 'Command not allowed').
Bootloader is unlocked.
If I'm right, try fastboot flash erecovery erecovery.img

Sadly there is no erecovery.img and if i try to flash either of the many erecovery files into what i assume would be their respective partitions i get the same error.
Which i thought was a good sign because that might have meant that i couldn't have ****ed them up. But maybe it isn't.
OK try erecovery ramdisk and erecovery kernel to flash
PHP:
fastboot flash erecovery_kernel ERECOVERY_kerne.img
Sending 'erecovery_kernel' (24576 KB) OKAY [ 0.587s]
Writing 'erecovery_kernel' FAILED (remote: 'Command not allowed')
Finished. Total time: 0.614s
for example, the result is always the same.

UPDATE: When I reboot the smartphone it displays "Data partition was damaged seriously! and you are recommended to format it to recover your phone".
Smartphone works, but even after a factory reset it still displays that message when it boots up it gets stuck at 'Booting up'.
What can I do @2WildFirE?

Because this is not the right command to give. I am not sure what the right command would be though.
Okay, so I have recovered my phone after spending a sleepless night working on it.
Tried several combinations to see this resolved.
But, what really worked out for me was that I discharged my device twice and kept trying flashing stock rom and several relative recoveries.
After flashing stock recovery I discharged my device. Once it came back, it took me to erecovery.
From there, I started downloading the file from the recovery and did a reboot after the installation.
My Honor is working fine now.

Flashed the 9.0 full ota files several times, flashed full otas of 8.0. Flashed a random recovery from an older ota. I then discharged my device as I was totally out of options. When I put it on charge it turned back on and after few minutes took me to erecovery.
And now I cannot root my device as twrp isn't there for pie yet. Honor sucks.
Thread closed since it's a duplicate.

To be clear im trying to bring back the old "boot loader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be guaranteed" boot message from the red one that says "Your device is corrupt. It can’t be trusted and may not work properly." Now I no this topic has already been on the forums but I read them, and made several attempts to fix the issue but was unsuccessful. every time I end up losing my all my **** and as soon as i upgrade to the latest pie ota it goes right back to the red boot message. One time I even hard bricked my phone and had to use the msmdownloadtool to get me back to hydrogen os and still the same thing happend when I upgraded to pie. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to fix this problem.
p.s. I know its not a "problem" really but its one of those things that’s been pestering me for over a month. thanks for your concern.
Did you use in-built updater or flashed pie via twrp?
If you flashed by twrp, you may need to flash twice for both a and b bootslots.
You may try to lock bootloader, use msm again then update pie.
After that try to unlock it may fix

looks like your boot partition got corrupted some how im not sure tho

Dear community. I screwed up.
I purchased my new OP7P and in all my excitement, logically, the first thing I went to do was to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and root it, which I did successfully because I am pretty familiar with this on multiple phones. Long story short, here's what I did, and where my problem lies:
1. Went to install the Havoc Custom ROM by following their installation instructions, went ahead and booted to TWRP recovery
2. As instructed, wiped dalvik and /data
3. Flashed Havoc ROM and here is the part where I was supposed to flash TWRP installer
4. Forgot to reflash TWRP installer and rebooted to the now nonexisting recovery. - getting the dead android icon with the message "NO COMMAND"
5. After holding VOLUP + POWER managed to turn it off and then turn it on again with just POWER to be greeted with a message warning me that I am in a bootloop
and that I have two options; to try again or to "reset to factory settings", which I did, which booted me into the HavocOS.
The main problem here is that for some reason whenever I try to repeat the TWRP installation process using fastboot, by entering "fastboot boot twrp.img", it gives me the following error:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.340s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 1.343s
I have tried this on both Linux & Windows, same deal. The TWRP website has mentioned that if this happens I need root, but how do I root my phone without TWRP or "fastboot boot", and how do I install TWRP on the OP7P without livebooting TWRP?
Any help at all is truly appreciated. Thanks guys.
Download the MSM tool here and restore your phone. I've never used it but it gets everyone out of a brick.
I've used this tool a few times and it has gotten me out of a jam, just be sure to download the correct version for your phone. AFA your fastboot error, I got that until I let the OTA update to 9.5.11, then it worked again. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/development/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3930862

Try to fastboot boot the TWRP build -70 from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...nt/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322
It fixes the problem with "fastboot boot" not working on the official Android Q update. Not sure why that would apply to your case (custom ROM after already successfully installing TWRP). But it's very easy to try, and certainly can't hurt. And the error message you are getting is exactly the same as the official Android Q problem.
I flashed pixelexperience 13 recovery to my Oneplus 7 eu version. now i can do nothing can't flash stock through msm because errors i tried on 3 pcs and still nothing on mine is connection failed on 2 other after 10 secs it disconnects. when i try to flash or boot twrp.img it goes to fastboot or nothing happens. its on partition b btw. when i try to flash it says
writing 'boot_b'...
FAILED (remote: Value too large for defined data type)
the pixelrecovery works fine but its useless tbh it gives me only fastboot or adb but i cant flash nothing
i also tried the All in one tool for oneplus to flash the stock rom but when it tries to flash boot_b similar thing happens
on partition a same thing happens
GUYS i am dum dum i have oneplus 6 not 7...
