Hi all,
It seams to be assumed everyone is using windows these days?
Well if your using Linux this might help -
Get unlock key from sony HERE
Download SDK Manager HERE
Recommend creating folder in home called Android Development and placing zip file in there, then extract in same folder.
Download your selected Kernel & Rom from HERE
Recommend creating folder called Xperia Arc and place both Kernel & Rom there, then copy the Kernel to the Platform-Tools folder which is in the SDK folder, in the adt bundle folder (SDK Manager Download).
Copy the Rom to the sd card (still zipped)
Enable USB Debug mode in Developer Options in phone settings menu
Turn phone off
Hold menu button and plug phone into computer, (blue led will light up, let go of menu button, phone now in fastboot mode)
Open Platform-Tools folder, right click on adb and open as root, then in Platform-Tools (as root) right click adb and open in terminal
./adb start server
./fastboot -i 0x0fce getvar version
You should get a response back, i got 0.3 this means phone is connected correctly, (dont worry if you dont get a responce from ./adb devices)
Next to unlock the bootloader
./fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEYFROMSONYGOESHERE
If done correctly unlock request will be sent to phone, phone will erase various blocks of memory and response will be OKAY like this
Barks-Laptop platform-tools # ./fastboot -i 0x0fce getvar version

Ok Hello Everyone
my Htc m8 was rooted around 2015 After Firewater Died so its still S-on
after a while my phone rebooted n started bugging
my htc turns on but stays on for only 5 secs before rebooting n repeating the process till the battery dies
my recovery is TWRP v2.7.0.2 (think is super outdated) I try to wipe, factory reset Format data even advance wipe.. but nothing goes through after reboot phone stays on in the same state it was in after it started bugging...also i cannot delete nor uninstall any files off the phone even if quickly done with the 5 secs it stays on for..
i've searched High n low but maybe im not doing something right so i decided to make this post

Hey,your phone is only hard bricked when you can't get access to any file system.
Your rom might be conflicting with the kernel,have you tried updating to the lastest twrp img from the twrp website and install another kernel/rom (can be found on here) ?
Remember to take a backup so you don't lose your data.

What version TWRP are you trying to install? I would suggest 2.8.7 for your current firmware.
Also try fastboot erase cache, and try to flash TWRP 2.8.7
Are you saying the phone stays in OS for only 5 seconds, then reboots? Does it say in TWRP or fastboot without rebooting?
redpoint73 said:

wiping anything in the advance part Will show that its done but after reboot it goes back to same state
E.G
Are you saying the phone stays in OS for only 5 seconds, then reboots? ............yeah Its like it boots normally but when all the app load prolly The GUI freezes n reboots. I also tried Safe Mode Same problem...
Does it say in TWRP or fastboot without rebooting? ..........Yeah it stay in TWRP & FastBoot - I can execute ADB commands...

Fastboot erase cache, then try fastboot flash recovery again. I already said it before, but your response from Dec. 14 (Post #5) makes it sound like you wiped cache after trying to flash TWRP 2.8.7, which isn't going to do much.
Try TWRP 2.8.7 or versions after that. Try a few different versions (or download 2.8.7 again), maybe the img you have is damaged, or not correct (not for M8).

Fastboot erase cache is what I stated, and what I mean (the command you executed). I don't know if there is much difference here between erase/wipe cache vs. formatting the partition.
Wiping cache has cleared up TWRP install problems in a lot of cases. But apparently not, in your case.

That is actually some really critical info. It indicates that your internal storage is probably corrupt. Boot into TWRP, go to the Wipe section, and tap the button Format Data. This should fix the internal storage problem, and will also hopefully fix your problems updating TWRP (try to flash TWRP with fastboot again).
Somewhat obvious that Format Data will wipe any user data you have stored on the phone. But that may be moot anyway, since the storage is corrupt.

Just FYI, since the TWRP img is already located in your fastboot/adb folder, you only need to type:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-m8.img
You would only need to insert the path, if the file was located in a different folder from fastboot.exe. Although, that would also be needlessly complicating matters.
The way you typed it doesn't hurt anything, just redundant. But if you are just cutting and pasting the path, and file name, what I've suggested doesn't make much a difference either. Just saves you a little typing (and also potential for typos), if you are typing it out manually.
taking your advice i did FOrmat cache instead of wipe n i got this

My Pixel XL brick more than a week ago, and I couldn't. I was installing the 8.0.0 official image from the bootloader with fastboot (a "clean install"), apparently there was an error installing the recovery and I didn't realize, so I lock the recovery (with fastboot oem lock and Up Volume key). After that, I restarted the phone and now it doesn't start (it shows only a "Google" splash and it restarts again).
I can't use the recovery mode (to use adb sideload command), try enter to the recovery makes the phone start "bootlooping" too.
I seen another thread explaining my problem, but it has almost a year without activiy (I asked on it to the user if he could solve that this problem but it seems like he doesn't use xda anymore):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/help/pixel-xl-soft-bricked-unlock-bootloader-t3540772
I live in Uruguay, so I can't RMA.
Summary:
- My phone is bricked.
- I can enter to bootloader, but it's locked.
- I can't enter to recovery mode.
- I can't RMA.

I assume that you have tried fastboot boot with the correct twrp image?
I understand you locked the bootloader, however, maybe the stock images didn't flash correctly to reset the "allow oem unlocking" in the developer options..
If that's the case, try unlocking the bootloader again with "fastboot flashing unlock".

I can't enable Bootloader Unlocking from the developer settings because the device is bricked.
@zades9 I have an idea. Try downloading an OTA image to 8.0 and flashing that from stock recovery if you can access it (twrp might be cool too idk). If it will not let you flash an ota because you're already on 8.... 8.1 is coming out soon lol Is your bootloader messed up somehow? Fastboot flashing unlock_critical unlocks the bootloader but I don't know much about it. Let me rephrase it allows the bootloader to be flashed over.
Yea I'd try:fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Is it possible to switch to the bootloader_b slot and reboot-bootloader... possibly flash the b slot?

I know about 6 months ago in the Nexus 6p forum, someone created a zip that could be flashed in recovery to toggle bootloader unlock in developer settings. It might be worth looking for to see if there's some sort of adb shell script that you could possibly use to toggle that switch. So you didn't boot after flashing factory image before locking? Also be sure to be using the most up to date adb and fastboot tools as that can cause issue too. IDK, I wish you luck!

If I could flash something in recovery mode I could flash the stock rom with "adb sideload file.zip", so I would not need unlock bootoader.
And yeah, I didn't boot after locking oem again :/

Actually that's not true. You can flash factory ota updates on a locked bootlader from stock recovery, idk about twrp though.

I wasn't referring to flashing that zip file, but looking inside to see if it's an adb shell script, you have a booting phone with a working bootloader, the recovery is compromised. There has to be a way to get your phone fixed. Only when it's totally dead do you give up hope
Well, while we are grasping at straws, make sure your fastboot is the very latest version. The version I use is marked as
~$ fastboot --version
fastboot version -4022467
I would also give the November image a try.
Crap I bricked mine too! Was on rooted Stock with twrp. Did factory reset (to unroot), then relock bootloader (all done with Skipsoft Toolkit). Thought I'd be in the clear, but now it's just bootlooping a half second Google logo and then black. I can get into the bootloader but nothing else works, not recovery, nothing. Can't flash anything since bootloader is locked now. Tried adb commands like fastboot continue but nothing works... Any updates or ideas on this!?? Device is bricked! I bought mine new on Craigslist so may have some trouble with RMA.... Yikes!
Please let this be a lesson to people to stop locking their bootloader's, or know what the heck they are doing before they do. I'm tired of reading about this across all forums. Whoever is explaining the steps to unlock the bootloader, need to give explicit knowledge on what to do and not do. I honestly wish I could be of more help, but it's a pain to get sorted on devices with regular partitions, so on this device I have no clue. It would be great if you could somehow force it to boot using the alternate slot
To OP, it looks like you're using slot A. Can you try switching to slot B and thing to boot?
fastboot --set-active=_b

I posted my problem on the Pixel User Community, but that thread is dead: https://groups.google.com/a/googlep...forums.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer
I got to this point after following a guide here to install magisk and MK100 Nash. I lost baseband, probably because I naively flashed XT1789-05 firmware from the guide, to an 04. Idk, anyway, I hadn't read as much at that point and thought I needed to lock the bootloader again *duh duh.* So I'm reading a lot about how this might be impossible to recover from and it's starting to look like it. I've downloaded 10s of GB of firmware to multiple computers, and I for sure can say that the bootloader is rejecting any flashing of firmware from OCX27.109-51 or OCX27.109-36 that I've tried anyway. There may be yet more stock firmwares to try, but I think I'm missing the point with all that because shouldn't any stock firmware be accepted by the bootloader? Anyway, if I could get people to muster up whatever they can on getting out of this trap I laid myself, I would really appreciate it. I was very foolish to attempt this when my food stamps and college application depend on me having a phone number. Plus this phone was sweet I feel like I betrayed it.
I've been trying to fuss with Qualcomm recovery but either EDL is broken too, since some commands I've tried to get it into EDL just resulted in it going to the ol' "can't be trusted," screen but that might be just that it's not going into EDL anyway. Thinking about getting a deepflash cable or something. I lack the patience and dexterity to rig it myself right now. But I don'y want to get my hopes up if it's screwed.
One fun quirk is that if I fastboot boot boot.img it actually does boot to a broken OS where "pixel setup" infinitely crashes but I can get it to let me use a black desktop with limited settings, like I can use the flashlight haha. No adb or ability to change developer settings though. In case it wasn't clear, I can't use TWRP, factory reset, or anything but fastboot essentially.
I'm wondering if someone knows a shell script I could possibly load into fastboot to enable OEM unlock again? AS in, commands to change the OEM unlock to "enable" in dev ops?
I noticed fastboot has a shell option '-c' which I was hoping to leverage with one of those broken boot.imgs maybe change the settings that way?
Btw I also have tried using the LMSA tool and it's a piece of crap, it never seemed like it would work on my other computer, but it had a weird connection. I installed windows on this one and it seemed to work, possibly a USB 2.0 thing, but as soon as LMSA seemed to actually be maybe doing something, I lost the ability to sign in. It just hangs forever and says it was successful then asks again (or it doesn't). I added a new windows user, tried reinstalling like 40 times, it behaved erratically but ultimately the problem persisted and now it remembers my login info between uninstalls and across new users but can't actually log in.

I don't even know anymore, it was on a computer that I had to wipe and install windows over in order to try everything I did. The clue in my other computer, which is probably accurate, is NASH_TMO_C_OCXS7.109-51-14-7_subsidy-TMO_RSU_regulatory-default_DEFAULT. I'd be willing to bet that is the firmware that is currently flashed, before it was modified with Magisk v20.4, MindTheGapps-8.1.0-arm-20180808_153837, and either MK100 or MK81 of Mokee. I'm no longer even sure if this firmware is for 05, that's just what the name of some other archive this all got dumped into. It's also the version that the instructions I was following used, before I even knew there were 6 versions.
NASH_TMO_C_OCXS7.109-51-14-7_subsidy-TMO_RSU_regulatory-default_DEFAULT is the last firmware available for TMO, hopefully whatever firmware you've flashed wasn't a pie firmware.
With a locked bootloader you can only flash official signed same version or newer firmware. I would try to flash that again, your goal is to get a booting system that you can enable oem unlocking in. That will give you more flexibility to solve other issues if needed. However if you've flashed a oie firmware you might be out of luck.

Well, I looked up that exact filename and attempted to flash the firmware from it. Am I somehow doing this wrong? (see attached -- fastboot version eac51f2bb6a8-android )
https://postimg dot cc/BPq1sbmS
This matches the firmware from the folder I found everything else in, like magisk and some utilities from the first night of this, so it should be the one that's on there. I don't think I flashed pie firmware, unless I installed a ROM that was Pie I think that I only flashed Oreo stuff. (Were they just unable to think of a desert that starts with Q?)
I'm noticing my build fingerprint and blur version correspond with the firmware OCSX.109-51-7/9, which also tells me this should have worked (that firmware also doesn't work). I lost baseband before this happened though ( that's why I locked it, because I thought that would fix it smh), I don't know what does that besides flashing the wrong firmware or really screwing something else.

I've attached the latest adb/fastboot files and a flashall.bat for TMO. Delete any .bat files in your firmware folder and then extract the attached zip into the same firmware folder. Then try running the flashall and keep track of what flashes and what doesn't. Again the goal is to get a booting system that you can enable oem unlocking on so that you can unlock your bootloader again.

Under way, will update with output from fastboot. Thank you for helping me.
Update, it's acting differently, preliminary results show that it is automatically appending slot names with extra "_". I'm going to edit the bat file and add "--slot all" to the relevant partitions. I am getting flash permission denied for the bootloader though. I want to let it run all the way through with the slot option. Nvm I don't know what "relevant is" Here's the output from the unedited bat so far:
I'm having serious issues with copying from the command line, idk if you've got tricks for that.

Try copying the the commands in the flashall one at a time and adjust accordingly.
For example say you post the command fastboot flash logo logo.bin and it returns fastboot: error: Command failed logo__a: not found
You know it's trying to flash the _a slot, which is fine so tell it to do so manually fastboot flash logo_a logo.bin
With a locked bootloader you might get some permissions denied, especially since you flashed the -05 firmware, which might have mismatched a few things. Keep going to the end of your flashall. You need a bootable os so you can get the bootloader unlocked and hopefully overwrite more wrongs and get back to good.

Well, permission was denied for all slots except for gpt.bin (consistently the only one to work), which I attempted to analyze to better understand the partion table but I think the tool I used was not designed for moto z. Anyway, this is just how it's been. From here, all boot options stop me at the "your software is corrupt you evil hacker anathema to corporate purity"
While I haven't tried it after this round of 100% failed commands, I have used fastboot boot boot.img and been able to enter a dysfunctional wreck of an OS that can almost but not quite get past pixel setup and allow me to edit prefs. Is there maybe a way to bypass setup and edit settings from here? ( It's too broken to launch adb, but it does persist to some degree, I was able to set a pin that remains. It's just infinitely crashing and never makes it past the checkpoint where I disagree to all of tmobiles usage stats agreements,

I assume you mean the lenovo rescue and smart assistant tool. With a mismatch system it might not recognize the phone (which is moto z 2nd gen for the record).
I'll attach a both slot flashall, maybe the other slot can be sorted a little better. For what it is worth, you might boot to recovery and do a factory reset 1st. Then try the other flashall. You might just be out of luck, but it's worth trying a few things before you call it. Same deal with this flashall too, if you need to manually go line by line do it. Also, when it's all said and done, try another factory reset from recovery if needed.
If you see the no command dead android in recovery, just hold pwr and press vol up to get to the actual recovery.
I just seen your edit, no way to get past setup that I know of. Another user tried forever to find away, but I don't think they did. Also, I wouldn't set any screen security until you're in a clean state. It will only hinder what you're trying to do.

I was actually referring to this: https://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-create-partition-xml-gpt.1125433/
To see if I could get a better Idea of the partition names, since even when I set --slot all, I get the (permission denied) instead of (command fail) or whatever.
And you're right, LMSA wasn't able to do recognize it and I think it's because of mismatched firmware. I'm glad someone else has seen this broken boot ing. thing before. I know setting a pin was a bad idea, I just felt like I was running out of options.
I'll try this modified flashall you sent me.

No dice.. failed uniformly as flash permission denied or permission denied for the erase commands. Tried line by line and got the same result. Only noteworthy things I saw anyway:
Code:
#after any flash attempt, with both invalid and valid partition names, I get this:
(bootloader) is-logical:<Insert whatever partition name I just attempted _a, _b either way>: not found
#it always says flash permission denied, unless I try an invalid partion name, like radio
(bootloader) is-logical:radio: not found Sending 'radio' (97459 KB) OKAY [ 3.039s] Writing 'radio' (bootloader) Invalid partition name radio FAILED (remote: '') fastboot: error: Command failed

I tried booting to recovery from bootloader, holding power+ vol up, and also just booting with power +vol up. I always get to the "corrupted, can't trust" screen. I think it's trying to boot into TWRP but isn't allowed. It's weird though because I remember trying this before and it just restarting the bootloader, but it might have been a dead battery.
Hello, this morning I got a google pay notification that I can't make a payment.
I tried to follow the last tutorial to remove the root, but now I can no longer root my phone or even use google pay.
So I tried to flash my rom via fastboot (crosshatch-qq1a.200105.002), but I get the following error message:

Guide
Do #4 'keep data', then #9 to root.
Make sure you have the latest SDK platform-tools, there is a link in the guide.
Also, make sure the USB is not plugged in to a charging USB port.
Hi, thanks it was an adb version issue.
I had done a factory restore and attempted root without success.
I am trying to flash the factory image to test the root again.
The last factory version did not work, I put back the one I had and that worked.
Thank you
Edit : suddenly, I have a bootloop

There's also a thread in here about how to use Gpay with root. You can search for it.
Hi, I managed to install the system cleanly then root. I followed the new google pay tutorial and couldn't make it work. Does it work for you?
Hello it works with this tutorial not with others for me

I have used the following method (the OP only and not all of the Magisk module stuff) since the day it was posted. I have redone it many times when moving to A10 as well as when going to various ROMs on both a P3 and PX3. GPay has never once failed me since setting it up this way.
