I'm having an issue where fastboot seems to run, but it never actually flashes the new TWRP.

However, it acts like it's not really talking to the device. Device doesn't reboot, and the new TWRP isn't loaded.

You have to issue the fastboot reboot command next it will flash on reboot.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, I have issued the reboot command as indicated above, and it seems to take the command, but the reboot and/or flash never occurs. I've flashed multiple of version of TWRP on this tablet in the past, using the same pc. I just can't seem to figure out what's changed.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I have somehow totally trashed my Android install. I have a UK retail Moto G XT1032.
While downloading the OTA lollipop update, the download appeared to stall. I decided to give up on the update, so I switched the phone off. When I turned it back on again, every single process crashed. "Unfortunately dialler/android.process.acore/Calendar/android.process.media/etc has stopped". I can keep tapping "OK" for ever to clear these notifications, but can't actually use the phone for anything at all.
So I decided to do a factory reset from fastboot. It made no difference.
I tried a factory reset from recovery. It made no difference.
Using fastboot, I attempted to install the stock ROM according to the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219. Everything seemed to flash OK - I got OKAY on the PC and the commands appeared to be running on the phone OK, but when it restarted, the phone was exactly the same - my wallpaper photo was still there, and the app icons that I could glimpse behind the endless notifications were my apps.
I tried several more times, this time flashing the 4.4.4 ROM (RETAIL-GB_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF). Exactly the same results - nothing changes when I restart.
It's as if the mfastboot flash commands do nothing at all! I have run all the mfastboot commands described by the guide in the order given.
I've also tried booting to recovery and connecting to ADB, but the PC cannot see the device.
I've tried replacing the recovery with CWM and TWRP .img files, but the flash command, while seeming to work, doesn't change anything at all! The recovery that I have installed is the standard KXB21.14-L1.40.
I have tried "mfastboot.exe erase recovery", before attempting to update the recovery, but it makes no difference.
Does anybody have any idea what I am doing wrong? It seems that no "mfastboot flash xxx yyy" command works at all on my phone.
Did you installfastboot or mfastboot? ADB commands only work if the is booted and USB debugging is on.
Got the same problem. I've already posted this in a few threads and didn't get any answer, though
Sounds crazy but, when you type fastboot devices with your phone connected in fastboot mode, does the command return your phone's serial #?
Yes, everything via fastboot works (says complete, done etc.) except it doesn't affect the real system. If you sideload ADB you will see that the system, data and cache partition become read-only. I've managed to remount only data partition with write privileges, but that doesn't help.
Are you flashing each partition manually? You can see your device's serial # in fastboot?

Originally, I used the version of fastboot that came with the first stock ROM I tried (falcon_retgb_user_4.3_14.10.0Q3.X-76-LGG-8_54_release-keys-cid7-Retail_GB).
Later on, I installed mfastboot and used that instead. The results were the same. Nothing seems to actually be flashed, but there are no errors on either the PC or the phone.
ADB does not work in fastboot (I don't believe it's supposed to!), but it also will not work with the version of recovery that I have, which is why I was attempting to install CWM and TWRP in its place.

Yes. I'm currently trying the following sequence with the XT1032_RETAIL-GB_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml ROM...
Code:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
The mfastboot command returns OKAY for each of these, and a couple of yellow lines appear on the phone for each command, indicating that the right command is running, with no error messages.
I have never used mfastboot. Maybe try using fastboot to flash? I have used fastboot on my Moto G and Moto Atrix HD with great success.
Tried with fastboot, tried with mfastboot, got no errors but nothing changes. The real problem I suppose is corrupted partitions.
Have you tried the moto flash tool??

@IcyBee, I see you're flashing the GB retail. Is it possible to try a different ROM such as the GPE?

I've just given it a go.
When flashing the ROMs, it basically runs the same mfastboot commands that I was running before, so the result was exactly the same.
However, the ADB Driver install button was worth trying. The driver supplied has enabled my PC to communicate with the phone using ADB when in recovery mode!
Unfortunately, after selecting "apply update from ADB" on the phone, and running "adb sideload <ROM zip file>", it sends it to the phone (taking a couple of minutes), and the phone says "Verifying update package", followed by "Installation aborted".
When you sideload, do you need some sort of special format ROM file?

I was hoping to use the stock ROM, just to get the phone back to its original state.
If the mfastboot command does nothing, I doubt trying different ROMs will help. But I'll probably try it if I can't get anything else to work.
thanks a lot!
@IcyBee - I have seen this before. Try using fastboot on a Linux PC / Laptop. You can use a live cd to do this - no need to actually install Linux.
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

Thanks for the idea. I happen to have a laptop running the latest Lubuntu.
I installed fastboot as you directed and re-flashed everything. Exactly the same. The commands all say OKAY, the yellow text on the phone says it's running the commands, but when I reboot - everything is exactly as it was before - including my wallpaper photo and app icons. And every single process on the phone is crashing.
I do not believe fastboot is actually working on this phone. The only commands that seem to work are the ones to unlock the bootloader and the one to reboot the phone.
@IcyBee - does the fastboot commands for flashing the system.img files actually match the files in the firmware folder?
I.e first file is sparsechunk.0 not sparsechunk1
EDIT: Next I would try the only available XT1032 factory firmware image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58534609
It's retail Brazil, but will work anywhere in the world.
I suggest you skip flashing the bootloader - motoboot.img

Attached is a very blurry picture taken in poor light with my very old spare phone of the Moto G just before boot. All commands seemed OK, except for recovery.img and motoboot.img, which displayed "hab check error" in pink (not pictured).
Thanks again to all of you for your assistance in this matter.

Recovery mode ADB will work in Linux. You could try side-loading the 5.0.2 OTA Update.
I have a Moto G (XT1032) running Android 5.0.2 that went out of charge one day. It then decided to boot into a black screen - i.e. I can see the Motorola splash screen (animation) but all I get after that is a black (grey) screen, not responsive to touch.
I tried a few things and they didn't work -
Fastbooted and selected 'Recovery' option - The Motorola logo (first screen of startup splash screen) appears briefly. Then the device returns to fastboot menu saying 'Boot Up failed'
Fastbooted and selected 'Factory' - The Motorola splash screen appears, boots into same black (grey) screen again.
The fastboot menu says "Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0". I did not enable USB debugging before my phone stopped working.
How do I get my phone working again?
You do not need an unlocked Bootloader to flash one of the factory firmware images: (I suggest using only one of the 5.0.2 images)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/index-moto-g-falcon-factory-firmware-t3110795
Is there important data on the phone? Then do not use the command: mfastboot erase userdata

At this stage you should press power button for few seconds and tap vol +, it is the way to enter recovery in lollippp, correct me if I am wrong.

@Joncillo - See the last post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/moto-g-bootup-problem-recovery-mode-t3122492 - you are both in the same situation I believe.
It's a known issue; where battery is allowed to die and has resulted in Bootloader / Partition corruption.
Try what I have suggested there - if that does not solve it, you may have to wait for a working Lollipop hardbrick solution, which would allow you to repair the Bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-revive-hard-bricked-moto-g-t2833798

Try what I have suggested there - if that does not solve it, you may have to wait for a working Lollipop hardbrick solution, which would allow you to repair the Bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-revive-hard-bricked-moto-g-t2833798

ahhhhhhhhh... i see... so, i have a dead phone... well, i'm going to try what you said in that post, thanks for all your help!!!
Hi guys,
I have my friend's Asus Transformer tablet which was never rooted nor modified in any way. One time it went dead and did not boot up. When it finally turned back on, screen was stuck on ASUS logo (please see attachment below).
These were the troubleshooting steps taken:
Reset through the small opening at the side (NO GOOD)
Click Wipe Data at Recovery (NO GOOD)
Tried to flash stock rom through fastboot (NO GOOD)
Firmware used was: ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T Firmware: V10.6.1.27.5 Only for JP SKU (Android 4.2)
And the error in fastboot was this:
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot devices
015d15b4f8041c04 fastboot
C:\adb>fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
erasing 'system'...
OKAY [ 2.143s]
sending 'system' (800931 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 7.317s
Flashed using Windows 7 OS.
We'd like to know if there would be any chance to revive the tablet or is it time to bid goodbye.
Thank you and more power XDA!

Had the same issue. Used Linuxmint and was able to flash image with no issues.
Also had this issue happen to me one day out of the blue, with the exception of not even being able to boot into recovery. I tried everything and ended up giving up as nothing worked. I'm currently waiting for a new motherboard to see if that fixes it.

...are you sure that the chosen firmware is the right one that fits to your tablet exactly? I suppose it's the wrong one, because I used to take Version WW_V10.6.1.27.5 and was successful to get a clean Stock Rom JB. I also may be wrong.
However I think it's worth to make a further attempt to flash that blob as follows:
Make a folder C:\Flash and copy the .blob from WW_V10.6.1.27.5 into the folder.
Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot and put in "fastboot devices". The device should appear as "xxx device".
Now type in step by step (wait after every step!):
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase cache
After that open C:\Flash and put in "fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob" without " " .
Now it takes a while "sending..." appears then "write..." and the load status will be shown.
If loading is finished put in "fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot". It takes a while to start into a clean JB 4.2.2!
Please note, I cannot guarantee any success-everything you do is on your own risk. Good luck!

Installed Linuxmint too. (Loving the interface!)
But still stuck at sending 'system' at terminal.

It's strange. As I wrote "sending..." takes a while then appears "write..." and the load status will be shown. Were you patient enough? Did you ever see the load status? Are you sure it's the right "blob"?

Yes, I'm quite sure it's the correct blob. The JP_epad-10.6.1.27.5-20130902 shows at the top of the screen of the tablet.
One thing I noticed when erasing other parts was that it failes erasing other parts:

Please try the version WW_V10.6.1.27.5. WW stands for world wide. That's what I used to take. http://www.asus.com/Tablets/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/HelpDesk_Download/
Once downloaded, you need to head to the path “Settings > About Tablet” where you will have to note down the Build number. If the build number starts with “WW”, your SKU is WW. Similarly, if your build number starts with “US”, you must download the firmware for the US SKU.
First of all, I'm german, so sorry if something's wrong with my English
Hey I've got a Nexus 5 laying around (I don't use it) and it is bootlooping. I would like to fix it but nothing works.
1. Power button isn't stuck (checked it)
2. I can boot into the bootloader
3. fastboot works fine
4. Can't get into Recovery ( when I boot into Recovery the Google Logo comes up and it keeps restarting)
5. Flashing a fresh Android doesn't work
6. Flashing a custom Recovery doesn't work
7. I don't know anything about the phone (I just got it because i wanted the display for my other Nexus 5)
8. bootloader is unlocked
I have fastboot and adb on a Windows and a Linux machine. Thanks for your help
Your English is perfect (apart from the lower case on "German" ) - if you hadn't started with that sentence I would never have known.
At the risk of boring people who may have already seen this post in other threads, see if this advice helps at all. If you have a working bootloader screen it may work. You can ignore the first sentence about backup, since in your situation it's redundant.
Preparation.
- Take a TWRP backup and save it on your PC.
- Download factory image (https://developers.google.com/android/images#hammerhead) and unzip all files, including the zip within the zip. Rename the *.img files to the names below. Copy all of them to the same folder as your ADB/fastboot executables.
- Download the relevant TWRP and rename to twrp.img - also put in ADB/fastboot folder.
- Copy SuperSU to device (if root wanted).
- Set USB debugging in Developer options & attach to your PC.
- Open a CMD window, navigate to your ADB folder, and check connectivity with "adb devices". If it's ok, copy & paste each command below into the CMD window and run them - the only lengthy one is the system.img.
1. adb reboot bootloader
2. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
3. fastboot reboot-bootloader
4. fastboot flash radio radio.img
5. fastboot reboot-bootloader
6. fastboot erase system
7. fastboot flash system system.img
8. fastboot erase boot
9. fastboot flash boot boot.img
10. fastboot erase cache
11. fastboot flash cache cache.img
12. fastboot reboot-bootloader
13. fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
14. From bootloader boot to TWRP and reflash superSu

When i boot to recovery the google logo appears and still restarts all the time.
As i said, i've already tried flashing a custom recovery and Android before... Didn't work for me..
Sorry to hear that. I've never seen the "target didn't report" message. Maybe a hardware problem?
I thinks it's a hardware failure. I found somebody else having this problem on the google forum. They say the flash storage is demaged. Not repairable. But thanks for the quick reply.
