I want to return my at&t m8 back to stock (currently on stock rooted with one bad mod installed) so I can give the phone to my father. I dont have S-OFF and dont care about resetting the tamper flag. I have tried many methods to do so, the first being fastboot flashing the stock recovery, then fastboot oem lock, rebooting bootloader, then running the AT&T RUU. After i tried this several times, i noticed that the stock recovery never gets flashed even though it reports 'okay':
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 1830723584 bytes
sending 'recovery' (24576 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.789s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.896s]
Fastboot reboot-bootloader (both the cli command and if you go select reboot fastboot on the phone) also doesn't work, it reboots the phone normally.
Seems weird that the flash doesn't happen and that reboot-bootloader doesnt work, but nonetheless i try another method restoring a stock nandroid from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 . I followed the steps, fastboot erase cache --> fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win --> fastboot erase cache --> reboot to recovery and restore nandroid --> reboot phone. ANNDDD.... somehow I'm still on the same System/ROM as I was before all this. Also worth noting, any files I push with adb are gone after a reboot. Not sure what is going on but any help would be appreciated.
So you have root permission right ?
Try downloading the stock recovery to the device and flash it with an app called "Flashify" or sense you know how to fastboot maybe try the "dd" method using Terminal emulator to push the stock recovery assuming you know the block where recovery lives [ mmcblk0p43 ]

Yes I have root.
Unfortunately anything that has to be done from the phone that isn't in the boot loader or recovery, is not an option at this point because it's in a boot loop (makes it to lock screen and then reboots). Sometimes it stops the loops and works for awhile, so if it does I'll give this a shot. However, is there any other method via adb/Fastboot over USB or TWRP?
Do you get the phone's ID (don't post it, just say yes or no) in response when you type: fastboot devices
If not, you have a fastboot connectivity issue. Try to re-install HTC Sync and HTC drivers.
You don't need to flash stock recovery to RUU. I think you might be mixing up your guides/methods. But if you don't have fastboot connectivity (which I suspect is the issue), you won't be able to relock the bootloader and RUU, anyway.
You can also use the bootable RUU here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/general/att-2-23-502-3-bootable-ruu-pc-required-t2860486'
But again, you need to relock the bootloader first.

Device id shows when i run fastboot devices . I am Positive the fastboot connectivity is not the issue here. So i am attempting to use the bootalble RUU. Since I am S-On though, I have to relock the bootloader first. When I run fastboot oem lock I get this:
Code:

And then it reboots the phone normally, it goes into its loop, I go back to bootloader, and it still shows unlocked.
Just noticed that if i run "fastboot getvar all" the "version-main" is blank. Weird...?

This is very common, usually caused by older TWRP versions. Shouldn't effect anything you are trying to do, I don't think.
Its odd that fastboot devices works, but fastboot oem lock fails.
Try re-installing HTC drivers, and maybe re-installing your fastboot/adb package.

Than try booting to recovery from hboot
I don't think you can flash recoveries with the bootloader locked if its locking when you fastboot oem lock,I do believe you can lock the bootloader with a custom recovery flashed before hand.

Strange, fastboot problems are most often a driver issue. But I agree, if you've tried it natively on Mac and PC, it would seem that drivers is not the cause.
Out of curiosity, what ROM is running on the phone currently?

Running stock rooted, with one mod installed (wifi tethering). It is the 50% of the problem because it is causing the reboot loop i mentioned earlier.

"Fast Boot" is turned on in battery/power settings. However, I turned it off, rebooted, and its back on. Tried multiple times and it won't stick. Thanks to all sticking with helping me out here, even as we approach 3 pages

Will do for sure. Thanks for your help! I'm thinking I might try and get the phone on long enough to try flashify or something. Maybe try and get s-off???
Are you absolutely sure the bootloader is currently unlocked and you didn't previously re lock it, does it state so in the bootloader screen?
If you can still get into twrp then try flashing a nandroid back to stock from the stock backup thread. I'd also be trying a different cable regardless of whether you think the one you're using is okay.

Bootloader says unlocked... so I assume it is unlocked. I suppose I could go through the unlock process again, but it definitely says "unlocked". Also TWRP flashing/restoring/anything does absolutely nothing. And I have tried 3 cables and 2 computers.
*** CLARIFICATION ****
I can get into TWRP fine, and I can restore, flash ROMS, whatever... BUT even though they report okay with 0 errors, everything stays the same, i.e. nothing in TWRP actually works. Same with Fastboot.

So I got my Kindle Fire a few months ago, already rooted. I went from TWRP to a CWM-based recovery, and I've been installing ROMs ever since without any issues. I'm currently running a CM9-based ROM, and I decided to play around with the softkeys, because I was tired of the bland white look. So I found some custom softkeys and flashed the .zip. I made sure to make a Nandroid before flashing, of course.
Upon rebooting from the flash, my KF got stuck in a bootloop. No biggie, this has happened before. I shut it down and rebooted to recovery, to restore the backup. But when it boots into recovery, it automatically reflashes the softkeys zip, and then reboots into the never-ending bootloop.
So the KF isn't necessarily bricked, I just can't get into recovery without it flashing a corrupted zip. I've tried two different unbricking tools, neither had any effect on it. Any ideas?
Can you mount SD card in Recovery and delete the Zip file through your PC?

I only wish I could. As soon as I boot into recovery, it flashed the zip, then reboots into the bootloop. I suspect this happens because I used ROM Manager to flash the zip, and recovery hasn't reset itself because the device isn't booting up all the way. So every time I try to access recovery, it performs the last action I gave it, which was to flash the zip.
I hope you aren't using Hashcode's (older) CWMR or you might be looking at a much larger problem.

I'm not sure what's going on with your device, but the only way I know to get the recovery to do something on start up is to create a /cache/recovery/command file. That file should be a one time use command and get deleted after use, so your report of it happening each time you boot into recovery is puzzling.
If you want to take that out of the equation, I think you should either get to a shell prompt and delete the file manually or erase the cache partition entirely. Try getting to fastboot mode, boot a copy of the TWRP image, and hopefully it won't reboot on you automatically so you can use adb shell. Alternatively, erase the cache partition entirely with fastboot. If you do the latter, you'll probably need to remake the ext4 filesystem on the cache partition. Here are some fastboot references to get you started...

Thanks for all that, but I managed to fastboot into it, and then wipe system and data. Then I rebooted to recovery and restored my backup. Never fastbooted into a device before, or done anything with adb commands, so it was a fun experience.
same symptoms: KF bootlooping, no recovery
Hi there,
I have a rooted/modded KF with MIUI, FFF 1.4a and TWRP.
After I gave it away to someone, who only "used it", it is now stuck in a bootloop.
I can get into fastboot via fastboot.exe and re-flashed FFF and TWRP, but no change: KF boots with the white/blue logo, I can press the powerbutton to get into recovery, but TWRP doesn´t show up. When I boot normally, it looks the same: Black screen after a few seconds.
I read about the battery issues, so I booted the KF with a fastboot command waiting to the device. The white/blue KF logo showd up and I left the device at the USB port at my PC for a complete night: no change
I tried to set another bootmode via fastboot.exe but the code doesn´t seem to make any difference.
I have a second KF which runs just fine (now with AOKP M5.1).
Is it bricked now?

i did flash fff.img to boot(loader) , and after that CWM.img to recovery. But the image is in a folder called "recovery", perhaps this was confusing.

ok unplug it then hold your power button down for 1 min then power it on use power button to toggle to recovery option in boot menu see what you get if that doesnt work redownload twrp img and send that again without erase also there is a small chance you could be remaining in fastboot but I doubt it try select reset bootmode as well but you have no system at this point so getting to recovery is imperative

It seem like a partition table problem maybe because i'm trying to install Cyanogenmod and not a stock image...
I think maybe i must reformat the partitions but i only have access to fastboot and i have read the documentation of Android Fastboot in OmapPedia but i'm not sure it's a "generic" information and don't want to mess up things more.
I have read many trheads in the forum but all of them use adb and there's not a thread with instructions about it..
Or maybe i need to flash all the images (system, kernel, etc..) with fastboot but i don't know where to get it, the main problem is that i'm not able to boot into recovery and maybe that point to the real problem
Any help is appreciated !!
Thank's
You can't write CyanogenMod from fast boot.
Sounds like somewhere in there you formatted the system partition. You need the stack file on the system partition in order to boot into recovery.
Restore to stock using fast boot and try again.

Maybe it is the problem as fastboot oem format seems to do the job...
I have downloaded the stock update-kindle-6.3.2_D01E_4110520.bin, please can you point to the thread explainig how to do that using fastboot or it's just as easy as rename the file to update.zip and flash it directly?
Edited: also i'm not completely sure it's a kf2 and can't get a hint on how to discover it without knowing the is version :banghead: I've looked one the motherboard and is a MB0090 F3F.
I've downloaded the stock bin for the kf2 too...
Thank' for your quick reply
Well. If you have a kf2... The update you downloaded is wrong. IT'S FOR THE ORIGINAL KINDLE FIRE.
Without knowing what device u have u better slow down a sec. Any advice i give COULD permabrick u of you're on the wrong device.
What color was the BOX it came in? What is the model# on the back? (Same for kf1 AND 2 BUT NOT THE KF HD 7" OR 8").
Be advised- this device is EASY TO BRICK. BE CAREFUL.

Also. The correct update file wont work either.
You can only flash image files from fastboot.

It's apparent you have a KF1 and not a KF2. The command "fastboot -i 0x18d1..." would not work on the KF2 because it still has the stock bootloader (unless something miraculous happened while I was AFK). The stock bootloader has a VID of 1949, and will not answer to commands using a different VID. 18d1 is Goggle's VID and is indicative of having FFF installed (KF1 only).
BTW, the "-i 0x18d1" part is completely unnecessary on FFF.
That's not your biggest problem though....
Code:
sudo fastboot -i 0x18d1 flash boot fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin
That command is completely wrong. What you're doing there is flashing the bootloader (fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin) to the boot (kernel) partition. Obviously, there is no way that could possibly would work out for you. After the "fastboot" portion of the command, you need to specify what you want done with the image in question: flash or boot. "Flash" is persistent, "boot" is for one boot only. In the next part of the command, you need to specify which partition the image in question goes to; bootloader, recovery, boot, etc.
What you need to do is get an actual recovery.img and flash it to your recovery partition before you can even think of accessing said recovery to flash a ROM and get your device working again.

Well you are completely right!! Didn't realize I was flashing it to the kernel partition, I bought this on eBay and it was already bricked, when I used the factory cable first time I got a lab26 device, and it was a 1949 so, if I'm right it's a kf2.
I've already flashed a twrp recovery but it won't boot.. I'll try sintering else and post the results here

No. The stock bootloader on all generations and variants of Kindle Fires have vendor IDs of 1949. The fact that your device responds to the "fastboot -i 0x18d1..." clearly means you have a custom bootloader installed in its place. If you have an actual custom bootloader installed (not 2nd bootloader) then you clearly cannot possibly have a KF2.
In this thread, you say you have installed recovery twice, but the information given seems to suggest otherwise.
So to try and get to the root of the problem, what is the exact command you used to install custom recovery, and what custom recovery (version) did you install?
Glad you are here soupmagnet!
I didn't even look at the commands he was using but i definitely learned stuff from your posts. Thanks again

So you think it is a kf1 based on the device id?, it shows that id after i installed the fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin from hashcode that i intended for the kf2...
Well, based on that i have installed a kf1 bootloader:
Downloaded the Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192818
Unzipped it (as i'm GNU/Linux)
"Grepped" recursively till find the web address to download files from
Downloaded fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin
Downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-blaze.img
Followed the install procedure
Same result !!, still can't get it to boot into recovery...
Really i hope someone here can point me to the right direction to fix this tablet, can't figure out what's wrong with kf(?)

Lets get a few things clear right off the bat. The file named fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin is the custom bootloader for the KF1. The bootloader flashed in the KF2 2nd bootloader installation is named otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin. If you flash the fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin (FFF1.4a) onto a KF2, you would end up with something that is slightly less useful than a doorstop.
Why you re-installed it is a mystery to me. You already had FFF1.4a installed. I know this (as I explained earlier) by the fact that your commands, using the "-i 0x18d1" switch, were successful. If you had a stock bootloader, no commands containing that particular vendor ID would work at all. If you had a KF2, there is absolutely NO WAY you would have a device that responds to fastboot commands using "-i 0x18d1". Even with a modified KF2, with 2nd bootloader installed, the vendor ID would still be 1949 and all fastboot commands must include "-i 0x1949" or they will not work. You can confirm the fact that you have FireFireFire installed by entering a fastboot command without adding "i- 0x18d1". With FireFireFire (KF1 only), the commands will still work because it is unnecessary to specify the vendor ID.
That being said, I'm not entirely sure what's going on with TWRP using both "otter" and "blaze" for the board name (I think it has something to do with Goo Manager?), but anything you get from the TWRP website should work for the KF1 (for the time being at least). Anything you get from Hashcode will be for the 2nd generation KFs.
I would suggest, to avoid complicating things any further, that you download Cannibal Open Touch recovery, confirm that the MD5sums match after downloading, and flash it to recovery in fastboot. COTR only works for the KF1 (not made for the 2nd Generation devices yet) so there is "practically" no way you can get the wrong one. If that works and you still want to try TWRP, download the one for Blaze, check the MD5 (as you should with everything), and try flashing it in recovery again.
If you still can't get your device to boot into recovery, try the command again, but replace the word "flash" with the word "boot" and leave out the partition (i.e. 'fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-blaze.img'). If the device boots into recovery, then you know you have the right one and you may have bad blocks in your recovery partition preventing it from booting, but you won't know for sure without checking a few things out first.
Followed your instructions and get the same result...
Maybe i should install a complete system from fastboot and let it try to boot, but where can i get those files?

I posted that ages ago. I'm not even sure what device it's for.
Check the file size. If it's around 350MB go ahead. If it's closer to 500MB then it's probably for the HD.
I can't imagine why you couldn't load recovery using the 'fastboot boot recovery.img' command. Did you receive any errors when trying?

I'm seriously thinking it may be a hardware failure but i wont give up until i'm completely sure about it.. that's why i though i should reformat partitions at the first time but the fastboot oem format command "seems" to work, perhaps it takes very short time to execute 0.068s and it is a very short time, so i though maybe it isn't really formatting anything, is it a "normal time"?

The command 'fastboot oem format' will only make sure the partition layout is stock, it does not format the partitions themselves. The information within the limits of the partitions will remain untouched, so it won't do you much good in this situation. The only way to properly format any partition is with recovery (or 'parted' which is usually run from recovery anyway). Your situation is rather unique because the "fastboot boot' command doesn't write anything to the recovery partition. It loads the disk image you choose, into active memory, as if your computer were a separate partition on which that image is stored. There shouldn't be any reason for it to not work properly.
Try to flash the system partition you downloaded and see how it goes. I would also suggest that you make absolutely sure the md5sums match before installing any image to your device, including the recovery images you downloaded before.

At the begining i saw you were using "fastboot flash zip...." that's wrong command.. should be "fastboot flash update xxxx.zip"
so if you find the totally package, youcan use it.
also you has mixture the boot.img and bootloader.bin..
recovery is not needed if you can flash the right bootloader and boot.:laugh:
I did a CM nightly Update, which relocked my phone. I tried to unlock it but something went wrong. I can flash partitions but somehow can't boot into anything besides fastboot. When I try to boot into any recovery (even Stock) the phone just restarts after showing the Oppo logo for a moment. (Just as if I was trying to boot a custom rom from a locked device)

A strange thing that happens is that if i try

the process just get's stuck showing three dots. (Same on Windows and Linux) That probably means that the bootloader is in some buggy way half way locked. (That sadly doesn't explains why the stock recovery won't work)
No idea how to fix it. Thank you in advance!

Amazing tool here: forum.xda-developers.com/find-7/development/recovery-recovery-installer-7-t2819794
Hey !! I solved the pblm!!! what I did was just hit and trial but it worked. Now I will give the method:
Follow these steps and see if u are lucky enough!
step1: go to fastboot mod in your oppo f1
step2: flash stock recovery using adb. Type in "fastboot flash recovery stock.img"
step3: do not reboot your device and type in "fastboot flashing lock_critical".
step4: type in "fastboot reboot"
After these 4 steps I was able to boot back in Project spectrum. I haven't checked until that if I m able to go to recovery mode but I will update once I check. Check if you can boot.
Note: keep the stock.img file in the same folder in which you have your adb installed.
And I am not sure if this will work for you also.. but it is safe so go give a try!!!
THIS WORKED FOR OPPO F1f YOU CAN TRY YOUR LUCK BY USING THIS METHOD

Hallo,
this is my problem: i dont have working system. When i turn on my device i only see one Plus logo. I have access to fastbot and recovery mode.
The things i have already tried:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-3.452634/
I have aleready executed method 1 and 2 ( without How to Prevent Data Wipe in Method 2) and everything is working properly until I perform Step 14, when I try to flash via adb sideload latest OXYGEN OS it always stops after 47%. (Installation failed).
I have also tried fastboot method:
PS C:\adb> fastboot devices
755549d1 fastboot
PS C:\adb> fastboot oem unlock
...
FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.000s
PS C:\adb> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (22605 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.625s]
writing 'recovery'...

now i really dont know what to do . just hope that someone can really help me.

Have you tried to flash any full Rom from stock recovery? Doesn't need unlocked bootloader as long as its the official OnePlus software.

You are trying to flash TWRP with a locked bootloader and it obviously fails. Download the full official ROM from OnePlus site and the corresponding recovery also. First flash the recovery and reboot to bootloader and then flash the OS and reboot. If you are successful, you can enable Developer Options and from there OEM unlock and USB debugging. Thereafter you can try TWRP, Magisk and other ROMs.
Hmm, I thought he said he can enter bootloader and recovery. If so, reboot the phone in stock recovery and flash full Rom from local update.

NO.
So that is where you are committing a mistake. You have not been reading the posts carefully.
All of us are asking you to download the STOCK recovery compatible with the version of the stock ROM chosen by you and to FLASH THE STOCK RECOVERY FIRST, NOT TWRP.
Because TWRP can't be flashed with a locked bootloader whereas the stock recovery can be flashed from bootloader. Then go for the ROM, sideload it using adb and boot.

Oh i see now where can i find the lastest recovery and by how i need to flash it, in adb sideload (recovery.img) or fastboot flash recovery (oneplus recovery.img)?

Make sure you are using the latest version of adb and fastboot, had some trouble myself with this:

Nah it will still fail, all because of that oem and device state locked, lol i buy a new phone used it 1 month i was having a update available i updated it and then boom 370€ gone just like that, it took me 4 month to got it, i just want to kill people now im very depressed right now god bless people like you thanks for your help.
I am new to flashing custom roms, and I got lineage running but I wanted to try Evo X, when I tried flashing through lineage Recovery it booted back into lineage, ok, so I erased all datat through lineage recovery and installed TWRP. I got that on but within a few clicks of messing around I found myself with no recovery or OS and im only stuck in fastboot, I have no idea how to get out of it. mods take this post down if posted in the wrong community. I just though this would be the best place to post it. I am new to XDA, I have these ADB logs from the command I was trying to run
C:\Users\user\Desktop\platform-tools_r31.0.3-windows\platform-tools>fastboot boot C:\Users\user\Desktop\platform-tools_r31.0.3-windows\platform-tools\TWRP-3.5.1-lemonadep-Nebrassy-2.img
Sending 'boot.img' (196608 KB) OKAY [ 4.500s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error')
fastboot: error: Command failed
I have no idea why it keep failing, I would greatly appreciate any help to get my phone working again.
Try the following command :
fastboot flash boot lineage-recovery.img
Once that is done, boot to recovery from fastboot and try flashing the rom you were trying to.

I tried this and when I click to restart into recovery it just boots back into fastboot, this is what ADB says after I use the flash boot command

I guess you should try msm tool then
Go for msm tool. You can find a tutorial for 8pro on YouTube. Follow the same steps( obviously with the correct op9 pro firmware.

I have gotten msm tool and my firmware, but nothing is showing up in msm when my device is connected
ive linked a screenshot of what my msm tool looks like, im just so desperate to get my phone back
Power off phone, position mouse cursor o er start button on msm tool, hold down vol up and down simultaneously, plug phone into computer wait a quick second and press start. That should work.

Instead of going for msm tool, when your stuck in fastboot, after successfully flashing an .img (Twrp, losrecovery ) use:
"fastboot --set-active=b" (when you're active in slot a)
Then reboot to recovery.
Basically it flashes okay but to the other slot. Happened to me too. I am now booted into the system on slot b. Hope it helps

hello guys i am facing that same issue but my own show slot_b and then i try to use your step but still not work help me plizzz
Googled the error you have. Check this post (and following ones)
[SOLVED] - Bootloop with completely new OPO9pro after oem unlock
Hello, just received the phone (EU), updated latest online udpate. (no Google account etc added, just fast setup) Enabled developer options, OEM unlocking and USB debugging. After update, 1*reboot. then another reboot to bootloader, and executed...
forum.xda-developers.com
I think you should start over and use "fastboot flashing unlock" instead of fastboot oem unlock.
Follow the link in that thread. Droidwin has the best tutorials for oneplus you'll find. Never had this error myself, so can't say for sure what to do.
