Hi I attempted to root my phone, got SU but was having problems flashing any roms, using any apps that required /root or accessing recovery. Figured something might not have worked and tried to unroot and start again. All steps were followed via http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...-root-unroot-unlock-your-vz-galaxy-nexus.html
I'm stuck in the Google bootscreen with my only other option being bootloader, it still says Locked State - Unlocked. But my computer can't see my phone, Odin doesn't work and I still don't have a definitive method of restoring my phone via a MAC.
This ISN'T Resolved. I get errors when attempting to fastboot the stock image
~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/adb reboot bootloader
brings about the following error
"error: device not found"
I was already in bootloader and tried:
~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/fastboot flash boot ~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/boot.img
I get:
error: cannot load '/Users/grnmons/Desktop/adb-fastboot/boot.img'
If anybody has any ideas please let me know, I really don't know what to do at this point.

Okay your bootloader is unlocked which is good, but your MAC doesn't see your phone in bootloader mode?

All you have to do is fastboot flash those stock images of 4.0.2 google gave us. There's not even any need for Odin. You can do this right on your Mac.

I can't seem to figure out how to do that. Seems like that's what got me here in the first place, the mac version might be missing files I'm missing the steps to actually do that.
Can't find any forum/site/guide that tells me how to do that. Does anybody have this?

fastboot flash (google on how to use these)
you do them when you're in bootloader mode. you need to have a ADB/Fastboot environment set up (look at root guides and do step one of it..... verifying the part of getting the environment, ignore drivers)
stock images are here: http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html

Thanks. Can you confirm that these are the steps?
1) Download the latest stock image( i will leave finding that image to you since this post can become outdated)
2) Unzip the files, and place the images into the adb-fastboot folder you created on your desktop above.
3) Open a terminal and use the following commands:
Code:
~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/adb reboot bootloader
4) Wait for bootloader to reboot on phone.
5) Then, in terminal use the following commands:
~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/fastboot flash boot ~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/boot.img
~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/fastboot flash system ~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/system.img
~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/fastboot flash recovery ~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/recovery.img
~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/fastboot flash userdata ~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/userdata.img
~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/fastboot erase cache
~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/fastboot oem lock
6) Reboot to System, and you should be returned to Stock and Unrooted
~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/adb reboot bootloader
brings about the following error
"error: device not found"
I was already in bootloader and tried:
~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/fastboot flash boot ~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/boot.img
I get:
error: cannot load '/Users/grnmons/Desktop/adb-fastboot/boot.img'
anybody have any other suggestions to this? or a follow up?
It should be easy to fix. You do not seem to have the correct driver installed.

Understood, I think I definitely did a few things wrong here. But my problem requires some kind of steps to solve. I don't mean to sound lazy but I've been running around the forums for awhile and I'm in way over my head, I was hoping someone could just list a few steps, links, SOMETHING. I'm looking for solvency here.

reinstall the android sdk from here that will get your drivers in order so your computer can see your phone
then fastboot flash recovery
then manually flash su (attached)

Thanks muchly, I feel like I'm getting closer but could you elaborate on the manual flash su step? My **** is all over the place now, my desktop is littered with files, should I be in recovery for this or still fastboot? and what is the command if you have?

download the gnex-su.zip and put in in the root of your sd card. then in recovery select "-install zip from sdcard" then "-choose zip from sdcard" then select the gnex-su.zip. this will give you root and install the superuser app
not to get ahead (previous post), but after your computer recognizes the phone you need to flash clockwork recovery
you need to open a terminal in the platform-tools folder of the sdk (also put the recovery.img there) and then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
Thanks for your help ogdobber, I'm incredibly frustrated and you must be too trying to help me, but I must have done something wrong as after I flash recovery, i still cannot access it - it continues to hang out in the Google screen.
Let me go through my steps with you and you tell me what I might have done wrong. So with my bricked phone, 1. I clicked your link and updated my SDK.
There's no indication that I did anything right here, it just shows that everything is installed and that's all I think I need here.
2. Opened up terminal fastboot flash boot (in this case) bootloader-toro-primekk15.img DONE!
3. Fastboot flash recovery (in this case) recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img
DONE!
Then... nothing. Recovery doesn't load for me. Just get a boot loop. Anything I might have done wrong prior or inbetween these steps? Also, besides flashing and running commands off terminal - i assume this is considered computer recognizes my phone. Could the problem be there?
Just got your last post, I'm unfamiliar with SDK but I've since put the recovery file in there, not sure how to flash recovery. I have tried flashing recovery through terminal and surprisingly it says "-bash: fastboot: command not found"

After attempting to install franco kernel, my nexus was stuck at the Google logo upon startup. After attempting to recover via clockwork recovery, I found it to be missing (temporary install perhaps?). Currently I have installed clockwork recovery via nexus toolkit. The problem I am now trying to address is that I have no way of putting .zip files on my phone. Some Google searches did not come up with anything quite like this. I am new to this, so any information is good information. Thanks in advance

Your boot image is missing...
When your phone boots in bootloadermode, it should (now, anyway) say: boot.img missing. Or something of that nature. Check this, flash it via fastboot, then everything should be back to normal...
EDIT:
It works with both: CDMA & GSM

do you know how to use fastboot and adb?
Excuse my lack of knowledge, but how exactly do I flash something over fastboot? Thanks in advance again.
Edit: And I do know how to use adb, however it does not connect. I do not know how to use fastboot
After some playing around with fastboot, I now have a basic understanding. However, I am not sure where I should be flashing that file you have linked.
Today, a friend suggested I try mounting via, and copying roms over that way. However, even with all the drivers installed on my computer, I get nothing.
If anyone has ANY insight on this problem, it would be be greatly appreciated. My new toy is a brick at the moment
Thanks in advance!

I'd seriously try to go back to stock first. I'm not a Windows user but if you have adb, fastboot, and your drivers setup, it should be easy. Mark is a great help in this thread and you can use his script I guess:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400871
You need to also realize that if you have wiped everything to install a new rom, you have nothing to boot to. Also there is install-recovery.sh file that keeps re-writing your recovery to stock erasing custom recovery (CWR) until you rename or erase that file. So going back to stock would be the safest and then you can try again.
You can use adb in recovery and fastboot in bootloader. If you have everything setup correctly (sdk, adb, fastboot, drivers for windows) either of these commands should recognize your phone:
In Bootloader (the first screen you see with big arrow on top):
Code:
fastboot devices
In recovery:
Code:
adb devices
If you don't have a recovery, then use the first one. If you see your phone's serial number like this
Code:
List of devices attached
HT12HS005115 device
you can now use it to flash things onto your phone. As I said I am not a windows user so I can't be specific, sorry. But adb and fastboot, once you are at their prompt, should work the same.
In general, when fastboot is recognizing your phone in the bootloader, you can use:
Code:
fastboot flash zip YOURFILENAME.zip
changing yourfilename of course. This zip file could be a stock imaqe or a custom recovery. Again, you need someone with windows to give you exact steps, this is just general stuff.
if your phone is yakju build then you can get the stock images from google.
download and unzip the files to your fastboot folder and use these commands, the file names in these commands are for the Android 4.0.1 (ITL41F) build so you will have to change the filenames if you use a different build.
Code:
fastboot devices (to make sure your phone is connect to fastboot)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekj10.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-yakju-itl41f.zip
Hi everyone, i have medium to advanced experience with flashing tools, android drivers, adb, fastboot, recovery mode and so on.
This evening once i installed the OTA Update for my Galaxy Nexus (which was running Android 4.2) the process failed at the end (as usual -.-) and i got stuck at bootloader.
I've wiped it completely ending up with no OS installed on it, nothing on SDCARD (Internal storage in this case).
The problem is that, i have no drivers installed on my PC for this phone.
I've already downloaded the latest version of Android 4.2 to flash (.zip), but there's no way i can transfer the file to the phone without the drivers.
I already tried GNex toolkit but it's stuck on "waiting adb device" (i have no fastboot drivers installed and can't install them because i can't find a easy way to do so).
NexusRootToolkit fails on pushing the zip to the phone and flash also won't work.
Any idea of what can i do now?
I may even pay on paypal for a quick help to get my phone back on working
Get into the bootloader and use fastboot, or if you have a custom recovery installed (sounds like you don't) then you can adb push from there. ADB doesn't exist in the bootloader, only fastboot. Those are your options.

Actually i do have a custom recovery which is CMW, but i can't seem to get my internal storage mounted using i'ts options.
I will try to push the .zip using the ADB on the recovery mode.
After checking the logs i can now see :
Enable to mount /usb-otg
(Using NexusRootToolkit i just flashed TWRP as recovery mode)
Solved : adb push <romname.zip> /sdcard/<romname.zip>
After the push was completed, i flashed the new .zip using TWRP in recovery mode.
Has anyone found a solution to this? Same thing has happened to me and I'm freaking out.

If you have the experience you say you have why do you use a Toolkit? Just learning for myself.
Look for efrant posts, they are the best and most comprehensive even for medium-advanced experience.
With him you will learn everything you need to know, including getting out of trouble and out of.............toolkit.
Just in case (you never know in life) do you have android-sdk installed on your pc?
Good luck in your learning curve ( I am still and will always be in it)

Yep, i do have it installed, mainly because i'm a developer myself ; )
I've solved it already, as i've said, pushing the rom using ADB.
The upgrade to 4.2.1 probably failed because i've had the phone rooted.

You are mistaken, root doesn't stop a system update. I can vouch for that myself, even though i know that it doesnt matter just from reading some people's posts around here.
You weren't exactly explicit on your first post, so I presume you didnt/dont have the correct baseband version for that specific OTA to apply. Very common.
Oh and if you've never been able to OTA update successfully, it's not "usual" for the rest of us. You should work towards becoming more verbose and objective when troubleshooting. That will make you more experienced.

Try installing the ADB Drivers manually in order for your PC to recognize it.
Have you tried putting it other modes such as Download Mode and check if your pc installs any driver?
You will have to ADB PUSH the OS image to your internal memory and use CW to flash the rom from the sdcard, but you will need the drivers installed or adb wont be able to see your phone
i have the same problem you had...
i read some stuff and installed adb, sdk and whatever...
im trying the " adb push" command, but i think im doing something wrong.

Use "adb sideload c:\users\edgar\downloads\abc.zip". "adb push" is for transferring files from PC to phone, not flashing.

adb sideload does both transferring and flashing within a single command. The "sideloaded" ZIP gets saved as "sideload.zip" under the root of the storage.

If you are able to boot into fastboot, search the latest TWRP and flash it via adb. Connect your device while in fastboot mode and see if it recognize it.
If it does put the recovery file you have downloaded on your desktop and open a command window, press shift and right click at the same time and click on Open command window here.
Type adb devices, if you see a serial number go on and type adb reboot bootloader, then type fastboot flash recovery [ the name of the recovery file you have just downloaded ]
You can do this just by powering on your phone, no need to be already in fastboot mode, just follow the commands.
Press shift and right click : open command window here : adb devices : adb reboot bootloader : fastboot flash recovery [ the name of the recovery file you have just downloaded, do not forget the .img extension ]
fastboot reboot
Once you have a working TWRP you can flash your corresponding backup and go back to stock. The backup will be flashed from TWRP, search for instructions.

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 and click on the upper right Get TWRP for your device.
Choose your device recovery and download the adb version. That is the .img
Once you have downloaded TWRP put it on your desktop.
Connect your device with your laptop/pc with the unknown sources checked also the usb debugging checked.
Move your mouse over a free space on your desktop, click once just to be sure there is no app or file clicked.
Then press shift and keep it pressed while you right click your mouse.
Press open command window here
in that command window type : adb devices
if you see a serial number type : adb reboot bootloader
then type : fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img
fastboot reboot
openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8 : This is an example, you will write the name of your recovery but it should be pretty much the same.
Good luck.
Are you familiar with
adb/fastboot commands?

You say "pushing a ROM" with what?
You don't push a ROM with TWRP you just flash it.
Or are you talking about pushing the ROM with fastboot?
If you have TWRP than download a stock backup and flash it.
Take a long look at my profile man and if you look just right you will see I've done and asked some stupid things in my travels here on XDA.I can tell you I remember every phone and ridiculous thing I've done to each of them,I still feel crunchy when I think of the mistakes.
We really need more info about the full process.please I'm not trying to offend you and I'm trying to help

If you can't remember what you did, or at least even try to list in detail the steps you did as best you can remember; it makes it very hard for anyone to help.
Saying you followed some tutorials on an entire website (3 websites actually) doesn't tell us jack, and isn't any better than telling us nothing.
Its not even clear the current condition of the phone. Your OP says TWRP doesn't work, then a later post says you are trying things with TWRP, so presumably you have TWRP. But since you never stated that, we can only guess.
What happens when you try to adb push or sideload? What error messages, does it make the phone reboot, stuck on boot screen, etc?
TWRP working? Bootloader is unlocked? If yes to both of those, you should be able to just adb push a ROM, or put one on removable SD with a card reader attached to your computer. Than flash the ROM in TWRP.

Your device is M8 dual SIM .. mm-su-boot is for M8 single SIM, won't work on your device.
Install custom ROM with support for Dual SIM or restore your stock ROM backup
please can you provide any link of the rom for dual sim addition

I recently decided to root and install a custom rom on my old stock sprint HTC one m8. I unlocked the boot loader via HTC Dev website. I then flashed the TWRP recovery. Since doing the latter step, it's been booting into fast boot all the time! Did you ever figure out what was wrong with your phone?

You only flashed TWRP onto the phone? Or did you root also?
Not nearly enough info to provide the proper help.
Please do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
What version TWRP?
What version SuperSU did you flash (if you got that far)?
Hi guys,
I have already read dozens of pages regarding the procedure to root my new Htc M8 but I am still a bit confused.
In the picture attached you can see the status of my phone, I think the previous owner has already unlocked it .
What I am kindly ask you is to help me to find the next step to root the phone. I suppose that I have to download a TWRP file, copy it to the internal memory of the phone and then chose "Recovery" but I'm not sure and I don't want to make a disaster !!!
Can U help me? I'm on Mac.
thanks

That is not the proper way to install TWRP, and I don't know how you got that notion.
The proper way to install TWRP is described on the TWRP website (see under "Fastboot Install Method"): https://twrp.me/devices/htconem8gsm.html

ok, thanks to all,
now I have downloaded the TWRP.IMG, adb and Fastboot files and I am approaching to connect my phone to mac, open terminal and then
./adb reboot bootloader
./fastboot twrp.img
SuperSU is already installed on the phone, so I think I don't need to download and install again.
Is it right?
Once Flashed the twrp image, phone will be wiped?
Thank you again, you help and patience is very appreciated

Did you check to see if the phone was still rooted? It was clearly modded by the previous owner, so may still be rooted. You can check with one of the root checker apps; or simply any app that requires root (such as Titanium Backup).
Although its also possible they unrooted and left the SuperSU app still installed. Just having the app installed does not in itself give you root, the binary also has to be installed. So if that is the case (no root) then UES you will still need to download the current version SuperSU and flash in TWRP in order to gain root.

Nope, TWRP just overwrites the recovery partition. Completely separate partition from user data, ROM, etc.
Regardless, I still highly recommend you backup any personal data that is important to you (preferably backup to an off-phone location) before doing any mods, just in case something goes wrong.
Hi Redpoint73, thanks for the useful info.
I am pretty sure that it is unrooted. I unsuccessfully tried to install Titanium Backup and also the SuperSu application don't start because of the missing of root permission.
Then If I have understood your suggestions:
1) connect the phone with debug Usb ON
2) type ./fastboot twrp.img
3) Phone off
4) Power+Vol-
5) Fastboot menu
6) Recovery+Power
Is it right?
And then? What's happen after? The phone will reboot himself?
thanks
ciao

fcasini said:
Then If I have understood your suggestions:
1) connect the phone with debug Usb ON Doesn't matter if Debugging is on, this only enables adb commands. Fastboot commands work regardless of debugging on or not. But Debugging on is good to have in other situations (so I usually leave it on).
2) type ./fastboot twrp.img Don't know where you got this syntax from. Its not correct. The command given on the link I gave previously (Post #3) states: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
If the syntax is not exactly right, the command will fail or perform the wrong action. Also note that the TWRP img filename in the command needs to match the actual TWRP file you with to flash. You will notice when you download the TWRP file, the file name is actually much longer than just "twrp.img". So you can either type that whole filename exactly, or change the name of the file to actually be "twrp.img" (with no quotes)
3) Phone off
4) Power+Vol-
5) Fastboot menu
6) Recovery+Power

At some point before Step 6, you need to put the SuperSU zip on the phone. You can download it direct to your phone from here: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
After step 6 (boot into TWRP) select "Install" from the main menu. Navigate to the SuperSU zip, then select it. Once its flashed, reboot. You should be rooted and good to go.

I don't know anything about Mac's, so I probably will be of limited help in that regard.
Did you install the Android SDK, or other Mac friendly adb-fastboot environment?
it is really strange...
I have installed both Adb and fastboot but whenever I try to flash the image file I get the same error: Permission denied.
With Mac there is no need of driver to work and I don't know ho to proceed.
Thank you redpoint73, your help has been very appreciated, I will search again on the net to solve the problem.

Make sure you are running fastboot command while the phone is in bootloader-fastboot mode. Run adb command while booted into OS (and Debugging needs to be enabled in Settings).
You are in the correct directory (where your fastboot and adb executables are located) when running the commands?
Try finding a thread specific to running adb/fastboot on a Mac (probably doesn't need to be M8 specific) and reading up or post a link to this thread. This may be some Mac-specific nuance that I am not knowledgeable in.
thanks again dear redpoint73,
I checked again and It seems to be all right but it doesn't work.
I have just one doubt yet. Perhaps I have to flash a root file like this http://www.androidrevolution.org/do...le=Android_Revolution_HD_Root_and_BusyBox.zip and then supersu.img through recovery menu?
Could it be the way to gain the permission?
thanks

Hi, i played around with my new OP3, and i wanted to root it. Since i'm noob at rooting, it went wrong. (i did it with twrp)
So first it just went in to bootloop, then i was still able to get to rcovery and stuff, but i followed a guide to fix bootloop, and that ****ed it even more up. The guide i followedet told me to use "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool"
After using "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool", i now cant even go into recovery anymore, the only thing i can do is go to bootloader, but when i'm in bootloader now, it wont connect proberly, so that i can use "flash twrp", so that i can use twrp recovery.
Also when i try to boot it, it because of "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool" goes into something, where it says "md5 checksum failed", and then restarts and does it again and again.....
I hope it's not bricked forever, pls help ))
have you tried re-flashing the stock or twrp recovery with adb sideload command?
if not give it a shot, it might work.

Just boot into bootloader mode and through command prompt check if your phone is detected by typing fastboot devices. If its detected then you flash a new recovery again. Forget the toolkit, just look for instructions on how to install a custom recovery.

In fastboot mode, did you manage to find your device on the computer? On Linux this is "sudo fastboot devices", on Windows it should be roughly similar.

Hey!
I'm not the expert but I have played with my 1+3 enough to have some knowledge.
First of all, do not use "all in one tools", those do not put you in control.
Cool, so fastboot is detected, though you can't get into the recovery?
Step 1) make sure you have the latest version of "fastboot" and "adb" (Android Debug Bridge) and unlock the bootloader. This tread should be helpfull: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/oneplus-3-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t3398733
You need to do this, because otherwise we will not be able to proceed (i.e. the phone is to be 'unlocked' for what we are about to do).
Step 2) If you are ready than let's flash a new recovery (TWRP):
This is also step 2 in the thread mentioned above. Very important: "Once the flash has completed, Don't use the "Fastboot Reboot" Command Instead Unplug Your phone then Manually boot it into recovery by keeping Power + Volume Down button pressed."
So once you have flashed a new recovery using fastboot, than you should reboot your phone into the new recovery!
step 3)
Once in the new recovery (TWRP) go to advanced and to ADB sideload. Make sure your computer detects your device with the command "adb devices" and flash a new ROM. Just for simplicity use the official OOS 3.2.4.
This should do the trick. Before you go and try make sure you understand EVERYTHING I have written. Let me know if you have questions.

Hey i have the same problem but this fix does not work for me.
So I have the bootloader unlocked and I can enter the bootload and my computer detects my device which is nice.
when I flash twrp on my phone trough CMD it doesnt work, my PC tells me that everything is okay but my phone will not boot into twrp and instead it will give me weird errors.
---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------
this fix worked for me,
On the screen when the phone failed to md5 checksum, you've got several partition failed right? in red text.
- download this : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424942573
and then extract.
- download platform tools attached below. extract in the same folder with first file you've downloaded.
- Boot your phone to fastboot mode, plug your usb, make sure adb and fastboot driver are installed.
- on the folder, hold shift and right click, click open command here
- type fastboot devices
- make sure your serial number appear.
- now flash the img of the missing file according to the partition in red text on your ms5 checksum failed one by one.
- e.g. "fastboot flash boot_aging boot_aging.img.
- make sure you flash all the missing partition.
- type fastboot reboot.
this will boot you to oos 3.1.2.
unfortunately I couldn't extract the newest oos dat. data. but you could always take the OTA
goodluck mate. sorry for my english

Hmm bad try installing all op3 drivers and see whether phone is detected or not. I was in the same situation previously. Pushing zip through adp terminal is painful process. I got device offline first,after solving that i got service not recognized issue. For solving that usb debugging needs to be enabled i stuck in that step.
can you enter recovery trough fastboot mode? I.e. if you are in fastboot mode you van use the volume keys to select recovery.
100% sure you can't enter recovery?
you can try Fast and pro's option. let us know!
