Hey all,
I just woke up and decided I was going to update to 5.1.1 since the notification kept bugging me to.
Well doing this while half asleep just screwed me. I forgot to open Boot Unlocker beforehand to unlock the bootloader and then proceeded to wipe recovery, boot, system, cache. I then tried to flash the 5.1.1's and got the message that I wasn't unlocked...:highfive::silly:
I was stock kernal and rooted and HAD twrp. I don't do anything special, I just like to root for the added abilities with some apps.
I've tried searching around but have been unable to find any solutions that work.
Any help is appreciated.

Did you relock your boot loader AFTER installing TWRP? If so, why would you do that?

I did. I debated about this for a while and researched a lot. The consensus I received was that some people relocked their phones and tablets if they were going to take them in public places to protect their data. Granted, the chance of the thief being savvy enough or caring is pretty slim.

Dude, honestly, with the addition of Android Device Manager sometime ago, relocking after you add recovery and root is trivial. If you're that worried about your device, you can encrypt lock and wipe remotely with the device manager.
So how did you go about flashing stock recovery with a locked boot loader, and do you still have TWRP?
Have you tried fastboot oem unlock?

I can't flash anything at the moment. I was however able to format cache, recovery, boot, and system without being unlocked....so TWRP is gone now.
I haven't done fastboot oem unlock because I'm trying to preserve my userdata or back it up before I do that.
Dude you can pull your user data through ADB, but at the end of the day, screw the user data!! Get your tablet working again!

Dude, screw your data. Run fastboot oem unlock, and see if you can get it unlocked. That's literally your only option.
Moral of the story: Once you unlock bootloader LEAVE IT UNLOCKED. Your data is not at risk. (as is obvious based on this post, only bad things will end up happening)

Wife's Verizon Galaxy Nexus 4.2.2
Bone stock, completely un-tampered with, stuck in bootloop. If I try to access recovery I just get the Android dude with the red exclamation point sign, and eventually it reboots and back to the bootloop problem.
I need to save the data on the phone (pictures/videos). Flashing factory image erases all data, but could a person use Odin to flash the Verizon 4.2.2 OTA update? Is it possible or will Odin erase everything anyway?
That is stock recovery. Odin flash also wipes user data. Is the bootloader unlocked?

Oh, sorry for my ignorance, and the bootloader is locked.

You will be able to flash a custom recovery or even only boot a custom recovery through fastboot ('fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' for the first, 'fastboot boot recovery.img' for the latter). Read that first post on the thread I linked you to. It will teach you what is what and how to interact with the tools.
Amazing, I managed to load CWM, however it appears to me that all I will really be able to do from it is a factory reset, is that correct? Also do the fastboot flashes take even if USB Debugging is turned off?

While on CWM, ADB/USB debugging is active.
Use 'adb pull /sdcard/' to pull all contents under /sdcard/.
a manta wrote this.
Success...kind of. The "adb pull /sdcard/" command did not work, for some reason it kept freezing on the first file it found. I then navigated to the Camera folder and pulled all the .jpg files, which is what I was primarily after. ADB did not like pulling .mp4 files so I just called it good there.
After that I tried using fastboot to flash boot, system, recovery, and even radio images, but phone was still in bootloop. I then ran the flash all batch file that came with the factory image I downloaded, everything went fine, but still no boot. Also tried Odin to flash factory image, but every time I clicked on "Start" I would get a "program stopped responding" error message(no matter what version of Odin I used).
At this point I believe the phone has a major problem that cannot be repaired with software, time to lock the bootloader and send it in I suppose. If anybody has any other ideas let me know, but I'm not very hopeful.
Thank you to everyone that contributed to my data recovery, this really is an awesome place, guess I'll stick around.
Hey guys,
I've been messing around with my brand new N7 yesterday and somehow screwed up badly.
Right now, all I have is a working TWRP recovery and a locked bootloader.
When I try to unlock the bootloader, the device just freezes so flashing stock images is not an option.
Can I do something via TWRP to get my N7 working again?
I already opened a RMA with amazon.
Second question: If I am out of options, is there a way to remove TWRP?
Really need your help right now,
thanks in advance,

It might already be unlocked. Do you have an unlocked symbol when you turn it on? If you do, run the Dead Nexus batch file from here. I was unable to do anything from TWRP or CWM. Just a bunch of errors when it tried to do anything with the drive. Flashing, copying, formatting, etc. This saved my Nexus!

I was using my phone like I usually do, and then it suddenly froze. So I held down the power button, forcing it to restart. Ever since, the screen only shows "Google" for a while, then becomes blank; no booting animation. It would restart itself occasionally.
I tried booting into recovery mode by holding Power+VolDown, and selecting "recovery mode". For the first few tries, it would go back to the Google screen, the turn blank. After giving it a break and trying again, I finally got to the "no command" screen, and I wiped the cache partition. Sadly, I'm still having the same problem.
Is this a bootloop? How can I fix this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This happened to me and Google sent a replacement phone. However the replacement phone is a refurbished phone that suffers from ghost touches Now trying to get a replacement for the replacement.

The bootloader allows the phone to be unlocked to flash custom ROMs on it, without it unlocked you'll brick your phone. Read up about rooting your phone first so you can get the idea of what goes into it before attempting it. Once you get the general idea of unlocking the phone and flashing things on it, it becomes relatively easy. There's even a nexus root toolkit on this forum that you can download on your computer for free as well as "how-to's" for doing it

No is not necessary, but in order to re flash the factory image to fix the problem the bootloader must be unlocked. You never have to root your device but having a unlocked bootloader is essential to flashing anything on your device other wise like I said, you'll brick your phone. You can even lock it back to full stock once you've re flashed the image.
Edit: there's another way of flashing the factory image but it requires some searching. You might not be able to do it the way I'm explaining to you Because you would have to give it permission to be unlocked in the developers option while the phone is booted up and operative

When u first bought your phone and it takes you through the set up window, when it asked you to put in your email, that right there backs up all your apps that you previously had in the phone so when you go through the setup again, it's going to ask you if you want to start as a new phone or recover your previous apps. You won't be able to recover all of your data but you should be able to recover all of your apps.

Hello XDA!
I have a Verizon Pixel XL that is stuck in a boot-loop after the 7.1.2 firmware update. The boot-loop did not begin immediately after the update which confuses me. I have never attempted to unlock the bootloader, root, or flash the firmware. I have thousands of pictures I am attempting to recover (I did not have coverage to backup the pictures in Google Photos) before I work on the boot-loop issue (or warranty replacement). I can access fastboot & recovery but these modes do not provide a backup option or backup command from ADB. When I boot to safe-mode the phone will stay on for about 10 seconds which has allowed me to disable a LOT of apps and enable USB debug.
As I see it, there are only two options available to me...
1) Find a way to 'halt' the system after start-up or find the mysterious app causing the issue and disable it.
2) Forensic (physical) data recovery for $500-$900
I have tried to research as much as possible (please correct me if I'm wrong): unlocking Verizon bootloader is not currently possible, installing custom recovery is either not possible or will wipe the device, and pushing a firmware update will also wipe the device.
If anyone has any suggestions or would like more information please let me know.
I will keep an eye on this thread to provide timely responses.
Thank you,
Matthew

I'm pretty sure you're SOL if you can't get it to boot to system. I don't think you can pull the data off the device without being in system. Even if you can it would be encrypted. So you wouldn't be able to do anything with it. Have you tried to boot in safe mode. If you get it to boot up in safe mode then you can pull the data off with no issues.

Safe mode only runs stock apps so if you are still boot looping in safe mode it's unlikely an app is causing your problem. I'm not sure what you mean when you say you didn't have coverage to back up your photos in Google Photos --i thought all Pixel phones came with unlimited original quality photo backup as long as the photos were uploaded from your phone. At this point I don't think you can recover your photos unless you find a way to fix the boot loop. Your boot loop where it didn't happen immediately after the update and it allows you into safe mode briefly sounds kind of unusual and might be the result of a hardware problem on your phone rather than a software issue. Have you tried booting the phone up while it is plugged into a wall outlet to see if that makes any difference? Some people with boot loop issues on the Pixels have reported that allowing the battery to completely run down until the phone is dead and then plugging the phone into a wall outlet allowed them to boot up normally. If you try that maybe you will get lucky but your options are very limited at this point.
Hy guys, i need your help.
I bought a XA2 off of ebay with a bootloop issue. I thougth that a software recovery with PC companion would solve the issue, but sadly it didn`t. It failed to update the device.
The EMMA tool finds the device with the bootloader locked.
I tried multiple times to flash different stock roms with the flashtool, wiping all data from the phone. Nothing seems to work. When wiping all the data flashtool hangs, but when wiping all but leaving the user data, the flashtool completes but the phone is still in bootloop.

Right I missed that bit in your first post about the bootloader being locked.
Well if I were in your position, I would assume - since it is in a bootloop - that both the other 2 things could have been already allowed by the previous owner.
It is not necessarily the obvious case, but there's no loss assuming that and try to unlock the bootloader vis usb.
you must know your IMEI though.
Hopefully, someone with real expertise can guide you here. Good luck!
