[Q] completely unrootable

i tried to root my phone (unsuccessfully) and now i cant even factory reset it. if i try it loads onto the recovery screen where the touch screen is unresponsive (my reason for not completing the root, as well as not detecting my phone for twrp flashing). is my phone now "bricked" on stock? UNROOTABLE

I presume your bootloader is unlocked? Are you able to boot into your ROM or not?
If you want to just bring your phone back up and running, you will need to run a RUU or restore a nandroid backup:
So post the result of the following:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main

thanks again vin4yak..my phone works perfectly as htc wants it to .. ive unlocked bootloader.. pushed super su.zip.. reboot into bootloader.
cannot push twrp as it says device not found. if i go into recovery the touch screen is unresponsive.. could this be due to missing this step or should it be working?

The latest TWRP doesn't work on bases greater than 3.14... So I recommend flashing CWM and then proceeding with the rooting process!

Didn't get you??! What are you trying to say?
To flash a new recovery you have to put the recovery img file in your fastboot folder and then flash it via opening cmd in fastboot folder and phone in fastboot mode... and then :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache

[Q] Flashing to pure stock 4.3 with the latest bootloader, recovery, etc.?

I know this may have been answered several times. I did a search too, but to be honest couldn't find something to the point.
Can someone post an easy guide of the files to download and the commands to type in the Command Prompt to install 4.3?
I'm currently on 4.2.2 (LiquidSmooth). Rooted obviously with TWRP recovery. I have the ADB and fastboot drivers installed in my PC.
This is what I want to know.
1. Flashing pure stock 4.3 and wipe everything (including SDcard - I will take a backup)
2. Updating the bootloader
3. Updating the radio
4. Updating the stock recovery
5. Installing TWRP recovery for 4.3
Will be glad if someone could help me.
Thank you.

you didnt search very well...
there's a return to stock thread in the general section.

Just use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
Read last 3-4 pages.

Hi, let me try to help you
Galaxy Nexus is my first smartphone. So i'm pretty new at flashing things. I did some research last year to learn how to flash stuff in it and that's how i learned to make a fresh install:
-Make sure you have the SDK platform-tools and the Galaxy Nexus driver properly installed on your PC. Also, make sure you have USB debuging enabled on your device.
-Download the factory image that fits your phone at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
-Open up the tgz file you just downloaded and extract the files:
-boot.img
-bootloader-maguro-primemd04.img
-radio-maguro-i9250xxlj1.img
-recovery.img
-system.img
-userdata.img
Extract the files in the platform-tools folder to make things easier.
-Connect your Nexus to your PC, open the command prompt, go to the platform-tools folder and type
(Do not turn off, disconnect or close the cmd prompt windows until everything is done. Again, make sure you have the nexus driver properly installed on your Windows)
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
(this command will reboot your device to recovery mode)
With your device on recovery mode, type the following commands to erase your device:
Code:
fastboot erase boot
Hit enter, then:
fastboot erase cache
Hit enter, then:
fastboot erase recovery
Hit enter, then:
fastboot erase system
Hit enter, then:
fastboot erase userdata
-Now you're going to flash the new files you have downloaded and extracted steps before:
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primemd04.img
(or whatever name your bootloader img file has. In this case the bootloader file is "bootloader-maguro-primemd04.img")
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
(you'll need to reboot after flashing the bootloader)
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxlj1.img
Flash the radio
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Reboot again
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
Flash system
Code:
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
We are almost done!
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot
Done! Reboot to Android. The first boot may take some more time than the usual. Don't worry!
-
If you want to flash a custom recovery, download it from their website, go into fastboot mode and flash it using the command to flash the recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [recovery filename].img
The same command used when flashing the recovery on the fresh install above
That's the way i learned how to do it from scratch. In case someone more experienced has any thoughts about it, i'd like to hear as i'm not an expert and learned by researching it on my own...

This is how it's done, PROPER. Well done, mnoguti.
a maguro wrote this.

@mnoguti: You have said that to flash a custom recovery, one needs to go to the recovery mode and flash the custom recovery, but you said that flashing the stock recovery should be done in bootloader.
Is it fine to flash custom recovery from bootloader instead of recovery?

you don't have to go into the recovery mode to flash recovery, just boot into fastboot mode and flash recovery using command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
obviously replace the recovery.img with the name of the custom recovery file you downloaded, make sure the custom recovery file is in the same folder as fastboot/adb otherwise you'll have to do it like:
fastboot flash recovery C:\Downloads\recovery.img

Yes, that's what I thought. Thank you.
I had initially felt that stock recovery can flashed only in bootloader and custom recoveries can be flashed only by booting into stock recovery. But somewhere in my mind had a doubt on it and so asked. Thanks for clearing the doubt.
And a big thanks to @mnoguti for posting those steps. Worked like a charm for me.

Obviously he meant fastboot mode..

How to restore Download Mode if all you have is Fastboot

This is for the people [myself earlier] who cannot boot into Android (bootloop or worse), have no download mode, no recovery and can only boot into Fastboot. Download the file below, I have included fastboot (for windows) and the appropriate files to flash, all you have to do is run the commands in order below, then boot into download mode.
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase aboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash boot 6-boot.img
fastboot flash aboot 4-boot.img
fastboot flash recovery 10-recovery.img
fastboot flash laf 11-laf.img
fastboot reboot
It is best to use the CMD.exe file in the folder provided so you will already be running the commands from that folder without having to change directories. If you're on Linux then make sure you have Fastboot installed then run Terminal from the folder and run the same commands. This will restore the STOCK download mode and recovery partitions not TWRP or CWM.

How would one go about repairing a broken download mode when all I can do is boot into a broken recovery? I cannot issue any fastboot commands as the device is only recognized as an ADB Bridge device. Are there ADB equivalent commands to accomplish the same things as you have detailed here?

well you should never install any OTA with a custom recovery install. you should always keep at least one backup on your phone to restore to in these events. but i would try downloading a rom and installing via sideload before nuking any partitions. which is easy with TWRP. the sideload menu should be in Advanced then ADB Sideload and the command is adb sideload filename.zip and it will take awhile depending on the file size. make sure the file name is simple and it is placed in the folder you are running the sideload from.

Yes yes I know... it was a moment of weakness late at night and I didn't think before telling the girl to go ahead and upgrade. That being said... Part of the problem now is that the one backup she made just up and disappeared. The ADB sideload option just hangs and never actually does anything. The original Stock Rooted file I had still on the sd partition doesn't fix the issue when I flash it... it looks like it flashes ok but on the next boot it just drops me back into TWRP right where I began. And download mode is still borked.
So let's talk thermonuclear resolution on this motherlover.... where do I begin?

i would try to rename your rom to something simple, like rom.zip. there cannot be any spaces in the name and it does need to be in the same folder you run the command from like you seem to be doing.

did you try vol+ and power together? When a functioning rom is installed it asks to do a factory reset but it may get into fastboot if you nuked that partition. i haven't tried this yet but if you're in adb sideload in twrp maybe the command
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
might help

Tried all of the above.... they all just send me into recovery or broken download mode
damn

I'm screwed. I gave this a try and now all I get is a black screen. The phone will connect to my computer but I can't send any commands to it through the command prompt. When it connects to the computer it opens a bunch of different drives and says I need to format them. I can't get into download mode and when I try to send a command in the prompt it just says waiting for device. Any ideas?
Edit: It shows up in device manager like this: http://i.imgur.com/NXGxpcX.png

I tried to go back to stock rom from CM 14.1 Unofficial following this youtube tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inzG5MLS2y4
I downloaded 2.20.40.196(Latest Android L) but couldn't find appropriate recovery for it.So I searched xda and got one.
I followed this sequence:
1.) fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
2.) fastboot flash boot boot.img
3.) fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
the boot.img and droidboot.img being extracted from the stock rom itself.
But after flashing, it shows "continue the fastboot process" in blue and selecting recovery option reboots the phone and brings it back to fastboot.
I CAN ACCESS FASTBOOT MODE,MY DEVICE IS RECOGNIZED BY MY PC.
But there is no recovery.
Kindly suggest what to do in relevance to my post.

cool down buddy. it was for informational purpose only. he was already using commands to do so. i just told him the correct way.
second for using AFT he have to download raw firmware. which is more than 1 Gb of data which will be costly if he is using mobile data to download. as he mentioned he already downloaded LP firmware from asus. with above method. he will be able to install the earlier downloaded zip file without any additional firmware download.
third as he mentioned he was on CM. i doubt installation with AFT might not be successful. he may have to flash stock ifwi and recovery and boot etc...

you might have unlocked bootloader with unofficial method. nothing to worry about its just a warning devices are far more insecure. if you are worried about privacy things. believe there is nothing like secure when using digital devices. and there is not even single service provider which do not collect data. hence enjoy your unlocked device and play around

the last working firmware. whichever was installed last time. (assume you were on latest MM ww4.21.40.233... extract it and get the files (boot.img, recovery.img, droidboot.img, splashscreen.img) in the same firmware there will be ifwi.zip extract that too and get the files (bom token, dnx , ifwi)... now copy the extracted files to adb fastboot tool folder. and then in same folder move cursor to and empty place and hold shift and right click on mouse. you will get option open command windows here.
now reboot your phone in fastboot mode and connect to PC.. now run the following commands
fastboot devices ( to see if device is recognized by pc and fastboot tool)
fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img
fastboot flash token " bom token file name" (without commas )
fastboot flash dnx "dnx file name"
fastboot flash ifwi "ifwi file name"
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase fastboot
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
fastboot reboot
keep in mind extract files from the same firmware you were on the last time when your device was working.

(assume you were on latest MM ww4.21.40.233... extract it and get the files (boot.img, recovery.img, droidboot.img, splashscreen.img) in the same firmware there will be ifwi.zip extract that too and get the files (bom token, dnx , ifwi)... now copy the extracted files to adb fastboot tool folder. and then in same folder move cursor to and empty place and hold shift and right click on mouse. you will get option open command windows here.
now reboot your phone in fastboot mode and connect to PC.. now run the following commands
fastboot devices ( to see if device is recognized by pc and fastboot tool)
fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img
fastboot flash token " bom token file name" (without commas )
fastboot flash dnx "dnx file name"
fastboot flash ifwi "ifwi file name"
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase fastboot
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
fastboot reboot
keep in mind extract files from the same firmware you were on the last time when your device was working.

before this problem happen i upgraded boorloader to MM then flash TWRP and installed MM ROM so now it has MM Custom ROM.
i did your solution and installed successfully but in adb commands as i saw give that boot.img not found then rebooted and now directly will go to installing system update and give the error (android robot with red warning icon ) .

as you already downloaded that rom.. and also the recovery needed for that rom..
first of all same as earlier flash MM bootloader. ther reboot bootloader once then flash twrp. the exactly mentioned in the RBR rom thread. then go to advanced in twrp and click adb sidelaod. tick wipe dalvik cache and cache. swipe to sideload ... now run command adb sideload "rom file name"
if bootloops after flashing firmware. do a factory reset and reboot. going to sleep now 1.15 AM here. will answer tomorrow if any other question
