So things pretty much went from bad to worse. I downloaded Google's .img file and ran the Universal Android Utility and thought that by running it it would do what it says by putting a fresh image on the phone and relock everything down and I would have to start all over. Nope my phone gave me the middle finger and the Utility turned around and failed 98% on its way through saying you might want to reboot your phone and go back into bootloader mode and try again and that its possible it was the USB. Tried twice, but the 2nd time it left me with a suprise, it rebooted the phone stayed locked on the Google Splash screen forcing me to reboot in to bootloader mode then I noticed it locked the bootloader, and I cannot run the unlock bootloader the classic way or the new VZ one that I used in the first place and when an attempt is made it will say device not found, I am assuming after running the system image from google it turned off USB debugging again. So all my phone can do is go into bootloader mode or if I try to start it up it says "this device is corrupt and cannot be trusted, hit power to to pause boot" and then the phone shuts down. So Flar2 suggested that I create this QA for assistance and said people here would be able to help me out in here. "If you still have the bootloader, you can flash the factory images and it'll be fine". So if anyone can tell me how with instructions on how to specifically flash the factory image and has a link to it I would be most grateful and gladly tip. Google's site explanation on how to do is absolute trash. Its the Verizon Pixel XL

Im amusing you unlocked your bootloader already
Did you down load the updated tools from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69239012&postcount=27
And the fresh factory image from
https://developers.google.com/android/images#marlin
I've seen a few people running into trouble flashing the factory image using the wrong ADB/Fastboot tools . I have not flashed the factory image yet so dont know the exact steps. the page with the image files directions say something about a flash-all script, I think you have to put all the file into the directory with the updated tools
@razor237 The bootloader was unlocked but after running the stock google image, the bootloader locked itself and I am confused as how to even flash anything when the bootloader is locked. The I did download from you second link, thats the image that started all this trouble. I keep getting device not found because I know usb debugging isnt turned on and I have no idea how to get around this.
Thats Odd , so when you boot into the bootloader and read all the text i think is says Device is UNLOCKED does yours say LOCKED?
Do you get the first boot screen saying your device cant be verified press power button to pause boot?
Did you use the other ADB/FastBoot tools ....the minimal tools are not the correct ones for image flash i think
I used the ADB/Fastboot tools you had linked. The bootloader does say LOCKED. If I try to just power on the device it will say "Your device is corrupt. It cant be trusted and may not work properly." So Flar2 said that as long as you can get into fastboot you are fine, but if you try and flash anything at all, everything kicks back saying FAILED because the bootloader is locked. In one way shape or form it says that I need to unlock the OEM. Apparently and I am guessing here, that Devs definitley know a way to push a factory image even when the bootloader is locked, I just dont know how.
So your bootloader is locked , you don't see the little unlock symbol on the Google screen ( or can't you even get this far ? ), if you don't even have an unlocked BL your royally screwed
Seems like your in RMA land now, but more interestingly that whatever ADB tookit you used does not support the new partitions of the new images for pixel this could very well be the root cause of the issue.
Frankly i'd not use any ADB tools to flash an image unless its downloaded via the SDK for that API and device considering this conundrum, but then hindsight is a wonderful thing
I was able to flash the Stock Image on my Pixel last night "Unlocked International Model"
My steps:
Download and install the Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Download the correct Image file from Google "from link above"
Extract the Image Zip file to my Minimal ADB and Fastboot directory
Put my phone into bootloader mode
Ran the "flash-all" command with Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Took like 5min for it to finish
Pretty weird how yours relocked bootloader. Mine didn't
Have you tried sideloading an ota with adb from https://developers.google.com/android/ota ?

Hi guys,
I can't flash any ROM/Kernel/whatever file via Bootloader/ODIN & Recovery. Worst still I can't access Recovery now.
My Nexus can goto Bootloader or ODIN mode but once i started to push files to it, it will just freeze. Please refer below for photos:

BEFORE
AFTER
My Gnex was on the latest Paranoid ROM and Franco kernel.
Timeline:
1. It just went into bootloop when I am just browsing the internet.
2. Went to Recovery to clear cache. (that's my mistake, should have waited longer for my device to boot :crying
3. Still bootloop.
4. Went to recovery to flash stock kernel as I suspect it's kernel fault.
5. Kernel flash failed as it the operation was aborted and restarted. Bootloop again.
6. Done battery pull and went to Recovery to Restore my backup Nandroid.
7. Flashing halfway and it frooze.
8. Can't access Recovery anymore.
9. Tried to restore stock rom using ODIN. Failed at NandWrite as the screen froze as the above image.
10. Tried WugfFresh to restore back to stock rom and failed again as the screen froze.
So guys, can i conclude that my motherboard is the culprit here?
Thanks in advance.
Are you able to get into the bootloader? Have you tried manual fastboot flash of factory images?

Hi,
Yes, I am able to get to bootloader.. the problem is when i start to do fastboot flash the factory images (using WugFresh).. the screen will start to freeze with double image as per my 1st post...

Sound like there is a possibility of corrupt nand partition .... though that is usually unlikely unless you are an extreme flashaholic ... but still possible
but the guy above is suggesting use the fastboot commands manually rather than using the toolkit as it sometimes makes a difference
As in manually flash the recovery in the bootloader then see if you can get into recovery, but there are many avenues that you can take to see where you can get with this. There are many places that explain how to do this step by step on the web.
Also you should always try switching usb ports and usb cables as sometimes it will cause issues
I know i used the same usb port with the same usb cable to flash my n7 and gnex multiple time then one day it just stopped working switched the port and cable then it started working again.
But other than that I don't know much about is a possible JTAG but I really doubt that will help at all since the device does does get into bootloader and odin just freezes....

corrupt nand partition... that's an interesting theory... will explore on the solutions on the manual fastboot commands...

Hello,
I'm a new member on this forum, I read all threads related with the problem which I have, and maybe I did something wrong but nothing helped with the phone.
The problem started one day, when the phone showed only the decrypt storage message:
"Decrypt unsuccessful. The password you entered is correct, but unfortunately your data is corrupt. To resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google account."
The factory reset, suggested by the phone, returned the phone to the decrypt storage message. Recovery option and FACTORY RESET from HBOOT level comes back to the decrypt storage message again.
Somehow I managed to get the Android Recovery:

The above error comes up after Wipe Cache Partition and Wipe Data/Factory Reset
The only difference, now phone stocks on HTC Logo.
After applying an update via SDcard it shows:

RUU from https://forum.xda-developers.com/ht...ral/make-custom-recovery-htc-one-m8s-t3114245 for Voodaphone UK recognise the device is connected (when in fastboot mode) but on the beginning of the installation restarts the phone into bootloader mode, and phone tries to startup the system (so RUU software can not proceed, as the device is not connected). Even after manually restarting the phone (during the RUU installation process) to fastboot mode, it still shows the device is not connected.
The recovery via flashboot shows: ( I tried this with all types of recovery images)
I tried to flash firmware, using all firmwares from the above forum, with the same effect. Phone was verifying the certificates and fail, also remote access fail.
I tried unlock the bootloader via htcdev website, the phone accepted the unlock code, showed me the screen with an option to YES (unlock it), NO (keep it locked). After choosing YES, it still shows S-ON, and within cmd it says the oem is still locked. Tried this couple times with the same effect ( I requested for new unlock_code each time).
It looks like my options are running out, any advice? Maybe I did something wrong, could someone explain me step by step how to deal with this problem?
Btw, the phone MID and CID are:
Thank you for any advice.
Sorry for so massive imgs.

I could say only have you tried taking that sd card out before starting it up?
that screenshot looks like the one I got with sd card in and a bad ruu.
So taking out the sd card you should get the normal bootloader screen when you use the button combo.

Thx mate, I know to end the loop I have to take the SDcard out. I will try all RUUs once again, maybe I mess somewhere.
How did it turn out? What android version and build number do you have on there now?
You can't get s off from simply unlocking the bootloader via the HTC code. That is only (in some cases not at all) available by spending additional money at a method called 'sunshine'. However in many cases it isn't appropriate anyways for all users depends what you are trying to do. .
Ok, so this is how it went.
I uninstalled Magisk 18.1 via TWRP using the latest uninstaller zip. Unfortunately, my phone would not boot any more. Not in to the the system, not into recovery.
So I went to fastboot and tried to boot the TWRP image (fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-daisy_zero.img). It loaded TWRP and then in the TWRP recovery, because it was set to boot at slot B, I changed it in TWRP to boot into slot A. After I restarted the phone, there is only the black screen. I can't reset the phone, I can't get in to fastboot, nothing. Basically it is bricked. It won't even show that it is charging.
Can anything be done? I have broken my system before, but always had no problems with restoring it with flashing threw fastboot. But now I can't get to fastboot.
I was using stock rom with Pie v 1.0.4.0.
Really appreciate the help.

That´s really strange... Will windows detect the phone when you connect it?
Maybe you´re in edl-mode. If yes, you could get out of it by pressing pwr for more then 10 seconds.
If that doesn´t help and you will not be alble to do anything (incl. going to fastboot) you can restore you phone by going to edl by usng the test point method. But thant will break your warranty - you have to open the phone...
If you want to do it you need to do the following.
1. Download latest fastboot rom and MiFlash
2. Install MiFlash, unpack fastboot rom and selct extracted folder in MIFlash.
3. Open your phone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmpHdqRUlDA
4. Remove the metal cover over the mainboard
5. Remove battery
6. short these both pins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhsRv42rsqI
7. connect your phone to pc (in device manager you should see "qualcomm qdloader 9008"
8. In MiFlash click on refresh (now you should see something with com-port)
9. On the lower right corner you can selct "clean all", "save user data" and "clean all and lock" - if you were on 10.0.3.0 before, you can select "save user data" if not, you have to wipe by selecting "clean all". Now click "flash"
I did this once and needed a few tries... It´s a bit tricky to connect both pins and then the phone to pc - after the 4th try I got it running.
I had the problem of locked bootloader and a not booting phone...
Hi!
Yes, Windows detects the device. I can see the phone in the device manager by the name Qualcomm HS-USB diagnostics 900E (COM10).
If I hold power on and volume up or down, I can hear via Windows sound that it gets reconnected. So there is some life still in it.
The device is also detectable by MiFlash tool. But unfortunately since I can't get into Fastboot, I can't flash it. I've been trying to flash it, but this is where I get (it just stays here no matter how long I leave the device):

I know about the method you posted. I still have a year and a half warranty on the phone. So I will sent it on repair and see what they will say. Maybe the won't notice and I will be able to keep my warranty.
i am in the same situation right now, after try to update the twrp, what tool you use to open the phone?.
I think you can also use the deepflashcable for the same effect.
My friend's unlocked Pixel got stuck in a bootloop about a week ago, and we're unable to get into Recovery Mode so we've been trying to flash it instead. I've used minimal adb and fastboot v1.4.3 and v1.3, and the latest and next to latest Marlin image files.. Currently on 1.3 and the latest image file, and the process gets stuck while trying to erase 'cache.'
screenshot of flash-all.bat:

Any help would be very appreciated. (I'm a total noob with these terms and tools btw. My realm is computers, not phones. :/ )
i think the problem is that you're using minimal adb and fastboot. v1.4.3 was updated in february 2018. the official platform tools from google have gone through several updates since then, the most recent being last month. i suggest trying again with the latest android platform tools and the latest marlin image.
the latest android platform tools can be downloaded from here.

I already had the official tools but I never thought to use that.. So I tried that and we got somewhere. It looks like it was successful on this end, but the phone is still in a bootloop. Does that mean that this thing is a paperweight?
i wouldn't give up yet. it does look like the flash was successful and user data got wiped. did you see any error messages to indicate that something went wrong with the flash? you probably got a bunch of warnings about certain images not being available. those are normal.
if the flash went through with no errors, then the only other thing i can think of to try is to flash both slots. here's how:
get the latest platform tools from here.
flash the factory image like normal, with flash-all.bat.
wait for the phone to reboot and finish the install.
reboot to the bootloader.
look for the line that says "Boot-slot". it will be either a or b.
change to the other slot with this command.
Code:
fastboot --set-active=a or fastboot --set-active=b
reboot the bootloader
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
run flash-all.bat to flash the factory image.
same exact thing as last time.. So I run flash-all.bat and it finishes in 134 seconds, then immediately after, the phone reboots. But it gets to the google splash image and then it'll power off again, and reboot again. It only stays on the google image for a few seconds. Nothing else ever happens.
So both slots are now flashed and the problem still exists.

I tried it again after your message just in case it might be working again, and I got nothing. So maybe the problem is hardware-related?

My phone: Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe NON PRO with the snapdragon 820 2.15ghz CPU..
When I try to enter fastboot mode my phone just goes nowhere and sits there. If I hard reset the phone it turns on again.. Calls and works but take one picture with camera and it shuts off.. gets the picture oddly.
Ive installed ADB on my PC and I'm about to start seeing if I can talk to the phone in fastboot even though the phone itself shows nothing at all. This happened during a failed upgrade and has NOT been able to upgrade since. I'm on 6.0 still.. failed 7.0
My question: Is there a certain way I should attempt to flash the files using ADB? I do have the RAW files from Asus support..
I'm going to post a couple pictures and a short video if needed to make this easier to understand for anyone reading this, I'm just going to try some simple commands first in ADB and see if the phone responds first. I have a feeling this could make everything much much easier if it does.
Try to enter fastboot or flash from here?
I have no recovery that I know of my phone goes totally dead when its in recovery mode and doesn't seem to respond to anything at all BUT.. When I plug in a cable it makes the connecting sound over the PC.. I'm about to try a few different scenarios of trying to enter fastboot other than manually with the side buttons but if that doesn't work what are my odds of repairing my file system from this state? I can get into MOST of the files in the LS.. but not all I do not have root access but I can get into pretty much everything else just FYI. If anyone has any questions or advice feel free to chime in at anytime.
I got into fastboot using command.
I assume its pretty straight forward from here I'll just post the steps I'm about to take or links to what guide or guides I follow just in case anyone else suffers from this in the future.
I used the commands in the following order :
adb devices (to start the server)
adb shell (to get connected to the phone)
reboot bootloader (to reboot into fastboot)
When the phone rebooted it looked stuck on the Asus logo but once it settled I tried the command :
fastboot devices (BAM it showed up instantly)
Now I have downloaded some RAW STOCK and TWRP files I'm I'm planning to restore my factory 6.0 ROM.
If this is successful then I plan to make a backup... and then sleep before I play more lol
