[Q] Help: Can't relock, can't flash via fastboot

UPDATE: Still no solution found - new Ideas very welcome.
Hi there,
I'm at the end of my wits with my HOX which is with a german o2 branding. After getting stuck in bootscreen after athe OTA-Update from 1.26.207.2 to 1.28.207.9 - which failed for some reasons. I tried to install different Custom-Roms, none of which would boot beyond the first HTC-Screen.
The latest one I tried was Cyanogenmod, that did boot fully but I got constant "andoidupi crashed" messages, so I tried to reflash it.
After that things got weird, because right now I can't really do anything anymore. If I try to relock it via "Fastboot oem lock" it just reboots and it boots straight into CWM 5.8.3.1 but when I get back to bootloader its still "**** UNLOCKED ****"
I can flash boot.imgs via fastboot flash... but even so its says at the command prompt that it was successful flashed, it really isnt. No matter what - at reboot I will boot into CWM.
It is like working on a virtual machine - the HOX gives all the right responses, but noting I try to flash is permanent.
I can't relock, I can't flash new recoverys, can't flash new boot.img and everything I push onto the SDCARD via adb is gone after reboot. If I delete a file that is actually on the SDCARD it will be back after reboot, like it was never really deleted.
I already checked my drivers, switched off Antivir, tried it on a different PC, reinstalled the drivers etc etc.
My HOX is from German o2
I've got HBOOT 0.94.0000 and Radio 1.1204.90.13
If anyone has any suggestions besides "You have to fastboot flash recovery/boot..." and "Don't forget to erase cache after every flash" I'd be very thankfull
Best regards,
Thad

did you try to re-download your fastboot ?
and did you navigate on CMD to the right place where your fastboot folder is stored ?

You need to flash the stock recovery before you relock your bootloader.
Flash stock recovery
Relock bootloader
Install ruu
Hope this helped
EDIT: Just read your post again and you said you've tried flashing recoveries, sorry, its late here

@muamers
I redownloaded fastboot multiple times, but its all the same, sadly The problem is: It seems to work. I get all the right replies on the command prompt, but after rebooting nothing is flashed.

Thank you Gibeon & mikey0105
I retried all the steps there, but still no change.
The problem still is the same. This is what I get in response:
>fastboot erase cache

>fastboot flash boot boot.img

So everything should've worked out great. But not so, because in reality he really hasn't flashed anything to the HOX permanently. When I reboot to recovery I still have the OLD CWM without fixes. The boot.img isn't flashed either.
As I said: It's like working on a virtual machine, where nothing really has any effects, it's a if all the fastboot commands only affect the RAM but are not really flashed to Memory.
And I still can't relock, still can't reboot-bootloader from Bootloader.
Any other ideas are welcome...
Greetings,
Thad

Bump.
Nobody any more ideas?

are you doing
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or
fastboot boot recovery.img
I'm not sure the second one works, but if it did, it would do what you describe. So do the first.

[Q] Writing 'system' FAILED, any ideas?

This is my third Nexus to play with and this is the first time I encountered this problem on flashing.
Using fastboot commands seems to flash the other imgs, but specifically on the system.img and radio.img it says
writing 'system.img' . . . FAILED (remote: Write Fail)
I tried searching on different forums even Nexus One's and Nexus S', but still to no avail.
Any ideas? It will be greatly appreciated!

Corrupt system partitions? Bad cable? These are some possibilities does this process work on other Nexus's ?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I don't think a bad cable is the case, this is the original cable and I have used it to flash a yakju build a week earlier.
But on the corrupt partitions, how can I fix it?

So if in case I got a corrupted partition problem, I should bring this to a Samsung repair store?

Yes, I tried yakju and takju. The system.img always give that error. Everything else can be pushed and written.

Try 'fastboot erase system', then flash system.
Trying this on windows or Linux?

have you tried erasing first, then flash? in fastboot?

Hi,
i have a similar problem, can't format/erase/write on userdata partition.
i tried with odin, several pda (all fails when trying to write userdata)
and
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
fails too (just hangs forever, when other partitions are erase in tenth of second), tried from windows and linux, with different cables...
so, hardware issue ? anything i can try to fix it (soft/hard)? replacing the motherboard would work ?
thanks in advance !

Bis Problem with a GNexus and Factory Reset

Hey,
I have here a Galaxy Nexus Device, bought from ebay.
Nothing will really work right now. I try to flash the original google factory image.
Loaded everything, have fastboot access.
Followed the steps to flash the files over fastboot.
On Step: fastboot -w update factory-image-name nothing happens
The device says "flash:system" and the promt says writing "system" - but thats for about 20 Minutes. Tried these a lots of times.
Downloaded the toolkit here on xda. Flashed the stock-recovery. Tried that again. Nothing happens.
I'm don't know, what I'm doing wrong.
Something is wrong with the device.
There is a rom on the device. Everytime I safe an e.g. image or data on the sd and restart the device, the file is lost. I can't even restore factory setting via rom. The device boot and then appears a android man with an red triangle. After 2 minutes the device restart itself and nothing happens. Same rom as before.
The other thing thats strange. Tried to flash the new JB google factory reset. In the steps, where i should update and flash a new bootloader - the one with the C03 on the end, everything went fine. After I reboot the bootloader - the old bootloader is sill on the device - A03....
Dont know whats going on there.
Would be awesome if someone could help me.

I flash a lot of time on this type of device so far doesn't give a problem to me. Maybe something wrong with your device or maybe you can try to flash it via GNex toolkit and download the .tgz file from program first maybe you will have a luck.

sounds a little like bad flash ROM but I'd leave that to the pros to diagnose... mabye there was a cause why somebody put it on ebay ^^

Instead of flashing the factory image zip you could extract the system.img, boot.img, and data.img from that zip and flash them one by one.

@compuzones thanks for your answer. I tried this already. But no success.
@Hannes The Hun you could be right, but whats could cause the problem? I have no clue
@El Daddy I'll give it a try.
Edit:
So this is what happend. Would appreciate some expert thoughts on it.
I extracted the factory image and tried to flash the seperate files manually.
First the bootloader:
In fastboot mode my device shows me, that theese bootloader is on it:
PRIMALA03
So i pushed the newer one on it - fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primelc03.img
sending bootloader - OKAY
writing bootloader - OKAY
the operation seems to work. But, when I'm restart-bootloader again, I have still PRIMELA03 as my bootloader.
Ok, I thought that unimportant. So tried to go on with the system.
fastboot flash system system.img
sending system OKAY
writing system..............
So here we go. It writes the system for over 20 minutes. Don't know why it exactly happens.
This happens wether I try to flash a factory image with the toolkit here from xda, or the google way or just this way.
Whats strange too.
Wanted to flash via CMW a custom rom. Just to trie it, if this woul work.
I flash CWM via the toolkit. The operation went fine. When I trie to boot in recovery, I get still the little Android with the red triangle and nothing happens.
Althouh the rom, that I put on the sd is gone after restart! Nothing there. Everythings wipe the whole time I start the device.
Edit2: After 25 Minutes it says system write ok. Here what i did:
C:\Users\GChroner\Downloads\GN\fastboot>fastboot flash system system.img
sending 'system' (396675 KB)... OKAY

But still the old rom on my device ^^ can't figure out whats all about. The device saves absolutely nothing.
Is there a possibility to check the file system or sdcard for errors or something?
Even factory reset over the android option doesn't work. It reboots and then appears the Android with the red triangle again. After some time, the rom boots again^^

No access to Recovery and HOX doesn't boot

Hello
i have some problems with my HTC One X. Until 2 hours ago it worked perfectly and without problems. i didn't flash anything in the last few weeks, but theres ARHD (ICS) installed. But then suddenly it had a freeze, so i had to restart it with pressing the powerbutton for 10 seconds. Since then, it doesn't boot anymore and also i can't access the Recovery, i get a blackscreen if i try, But i come into the Bootloader, Fastboot is possible but doesn't work...
I tried to reflash the Boot.img, but there was an error: erasing cache FAILED (remote: 19000008)
I also tried to reflash the CWM Recovery but there was another error:

It means you should never ever do that (factory reset in bootloader) if bootloader unlocked, rooted, etc.. Only within the OS Settings or in recovery.
What this means, is that on a stock device, factory reset in bootloader works normally; but on a modded (rooted, etc.) device this corrupts the internal memory and renders it unable to be read or written to. This is probably why can't wipe cacher, install custom recovery, reboot RUU, etc (all are giving you errors reading data; and I think this is the reason why).
Connect the phone to a Windows PC (sorry if that is not what you use, its all I know) and use Device Manager to format the phone's internal memory. Once its formatted try again to wipe cache and flash custom recovery again.

This is great info to tuck away for future reference. How should the memory be formatted? FAT32 or exFAT?

How exactly does one format the phone's internal memory via Device Manager?

Couldn't actually tell you "exactly" myself as I haven't personally had to do it. But I know its been given as advice many times, and reported to work (at least for some instances of corrupted internal memory or can't mount memory).
In brief, open Device Manager, browse to the device/internal memory, and try to find the option to format FAT32.

Ok, I'm in the same pickle as person above. Let me just post the state the phone was in before everything happened. Unlocked bootloader, s-on, Android revolution HD installed (4.4.3). Friend tried to get back to stock and now the phone is stuck in hboot. Things done to phone: bootloader relocked, tried to change tampered flag without success, flashed stock recovery and boot image. Fastboot devices returns Id, storage is not recognized, adb commands do not work. I think he also tried to do factory reset while in hboot. Just stumbled upon this format memory thing, will do it once I get home. What are the steps after, can I just flash the correct ROM.zip or some moded hboot? If you can just point me in right direction I would very much appreciate it, thanks. Also if you need any additional info just ask for it

I did a full wipe then I put on the rom using the zip file first through TWRP and it did install but the radio drivers failed.
So I then downloaded the system img file ruu and renamed it to 0P6BIMG.zip and now it is just stuck in a loop and will not boot into the Operating system. It will just freeze at the White HTC logo.
I press the power button and the volume up button to reset the device then push the power button and volume down button to get into the bootloader the bootloader instantly selects Hboot and starts loading up the 0P6BIMG.zip. The phone then procedes to give me the highlighted HBoot option and the message "Press <POWER> to reboot." Which then reboots right into the White HTC loading screen.
The phone is unlocked and has s-on. I have tried using ADB commands but cannot get an ID with ADB devices command.
Can someone help a brotha out?
