I am new to android and this is my new first android.
I saw postings yesterday says OTA 4.0.2 rolled out, and people got it already and there are manual way to get it, so I decided try to work on it. I followed the guide how to unlock bootloader and how to root, the first steps went through, but I can get through the last steps because it isays 'waiting for device', i tried everything. somehow I see the bootloader is unlocked.
I installed the stripped 4.0.2 update from here . I used odin mode. now my battery is dropping 1% every few minutes.
I want to flash restore stock image see if I can fix the problem. I trie flash it with odin, but oding crashed.
can anybody help?
Are you running Linux??
Edit:
From Windows or Linux (only tested by myself of Debian Linux) with fastboot in your PATH:
Reboot into bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-toro-primekk15.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-toro-i515.ek02.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio-cdma radio-cdma-toro-i515.ek05.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-mysid-icl53f.zip
windows.
USB driver is installed when phone is normal mode. but in orin the usb driver does not show.
Moved. Please don't post in the wrong forums.
this is GSM version.
where do you get the image files? also why I can't do in orin?
is there a simple way to flash the factory image directory or any gui tool to do it?
Files are here: http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
Make sure to pick the right one: yakju is GSM and mysid is CDMA
Download the tgz file and extract it (might need winrar on windows IDK)
All the Radio,Bootloader,Recovery and system files are included. The only way I know how to flash these files is fastboot, which imo is a safer way than odin - though I have not really used odin before.
can you explain how to use fastboot. I tried vol-up+down+power, it boot into fastboot, I supose it is, on bottom, it says 'unlocked'. what should I do next?
I am really new to this. I don't want to mess with me device like putting custom rom or stuff. I just want keep it original, it looks better that way. I do not want to add any fancy stuff to it unless they are really good. I used to do tweaks with windows mobile, they had better gui tools to work around make things easier.

You need the android sdk installed on your computer. Read this guide:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/adb-easy-tutorial/
There are also a handful of threads in this very forum answering your same question. A few of which I have given step by step guides myself. Do a quick search.
I downloaded file from
http://groups.google.com/group/android-building/msg/2cd2b16ed56a7e84
and used fastboot, all steps worked out.
here is the log

is there a way to reset to 4.0.1? I am not sure what is causing the problem.
I really need someone to help me...Please...im on the verge of suicide here
i unlocked and rooted, dl'd cwm.
i dl'd the SDK package (i dont have platform-tools, i have tools)
i put the cwm image, and the tgz files on the root directory (there no /sdcard)
i turn on usb debugging
i load bootloader
i launch cwm recovery
i navigate to the sdk folder (cd c:/ > cd sdk > cd tools) then type fastboot -w update image-yakju-itl41f.zip and get an invalid command error ..that didnt work so i copied the tgz and cwm file to the folder which contains the adb stuff and try again..same result
PLEASE HELP...i know im an annoying **** n00b thats wasting youre time but ive been at this since 9am PLEASE
You dont put the files on your phone. They go in the same folder on your computer as fastboot.exe

put files in ur tools folder inside sdk and you fastboot -w update image-yakju-itl41f.zip and get an invalid command error ,,,should of been ,,, fastboot flash -w
oh god didnt realize i got any replies.
so ive gotten past that part now i have a more frustrating problem...installed platforms-tools from the sdk manager, that enable me to get this:
c:\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip
archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'
archive does not contain 'system.sig'
< waiting for device >
but when i open the image zip the boot recover and system are there.
the waiting for devices deal, in device manager Android Phone is listed with sub Android ADB interface...driver is installed and device is recognized...why does it still say waiting for device...thank you guys so much.
If I get this working today I promise I will make a small donation to both xda and those that help me.
you need open the zip then extra the tar inside it with 7 zip, then copy all 4 extracted file into sdk folder, or same folder with fastboot. then run fastboot. you can use my output in page 1. type exact same thing.

How sure are you that the phone is in bootloader mode at the time of flashing? Try executing fastboot devices first to confirm that fastboot can see the phone...Then what the OP has suggested above or do what you were doing.
Hey I think I explained this in another post, not sure where, but fastboot devices initiates a blank command line. Doesn't show anything...which is odd though because I downloaded the right drivers from Samsung, it's recognized on my computer and it worked with ODIN (although updating through odin actually bricked me and forced me to restore)

If fastboot is showing a blank command line, then it means that it can't see your phone. Anything done after that is not going to work. It could then be one of two things, i.e. either your setup is not correct or your phone is not in bootloader mode. Can adb see the phone normally from your PC, i.e. can it see it when you call 'adb devices' or can you see the logcat output?
With the former, I can suggest that you check if the installation is correctly done? As with the latter, I tend to get adb to reboot the phone in bootloader by issuing a 'adb reboot bootloader' and is far quicker than the button-press option.
did you install sdk and driver? when your phone in normal mode, plug in usb to pc, in device manager, you see android driver?
I tried again. whe I get here
C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip
archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'
archive does not contain 'system.sig'
but the files are actually in the zip file.
the process still finished.
did it skip those files?
I think that has something to do with the .sig verification settings
..same thing happened to me but image flashed fine and everything seems to be running smoothly. Crazy how I struggled with this so much at first its actually an extremely simple process.

I'm confused.... I'm following all the instructions using the toolkit v10.
I was able to unlock the bootloader without an issue, but when it comes to rooting, I'm having problems.
I use option 16 for the build, then option 4 to root. In the fastboot screen, the bottom Fastboot status says FAILInvalid Command as soon as it pulls up, then it goes to "reboot" after the 30 second wait.
It doesn't reboot automatically, so I press the power button to reboot it myself. then it reboots and then goes back into fastboot with the fail invalid command. Then this comes up:
downloading 'boot.img'
FAILED (remote: Invalid Command)
finished. total time: 0.006s
Waiting for device.
I'm at a loss. I feel like last time did this, I had to get the factory image and the boot.img file from somewhere and place them in the folders within the c:/galaxy nexus toolkit folder.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Nick
put on your big boy pants and root your phone this way:

I have tried that... i get a similar message:

FAILED (remote: Invalid Argument)
finished. total time: 0.006s
then the fastboot status on the phone changes to "download 005d9800"
not sure what to make of that either.
is the cwm/twrp image actually named recovery? and is it in the fastboot.exe directory?
are you typing the command correctly? ( fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
It's in the same "platform-tools" folder that the fastboot.exe file is in. it's called recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-toro.img, so i type fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-toro.img and hit enter. That's what made sense to me in reading that post.

I'm guessing you mean that that's the correct way to do it and not, "yep that's you're problem." Any ideas where to go from there?
crazy... I switched to a different computer, and used the most up to date pdanet drivers, and it's going like a champ.
Even being a SW and HW developer for a long time, I did had to spend some time to learn all the buzzwords in the "Android rooting" world to recover my Acer A200 tablet, so I'm sharing to save other people time:
My kid tried to guess the gesture password to play in my tablet, I don't know how many times, locking my Acer A200.
I tried google recovery, but the WiFi was off (and I could'nt turn on as the tablet was locked), so I went to the web to find a solution.
Factory reset seemed like a good one (turn device ON pressing power+down vol and switching the orientation key), it boots, then shows 'erasing user data', then hangs with an error:
Code:
Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x19000008)
Now the device is not booting, it get stuck on Acer logo after animation...
So I tried to use ADB to revert the damage, as indicated in one forum, but USB debug mode was not active when I did the factory reset.
ADB installation itself is unecessarily complicated, and as I cannot find a way to list the device in linux+adb ($>platform-tools/adb devices), even adding it to: /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules (obtained with lsusb)
Code:
#Acer
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0502", ATTR{idProduct}=="337d", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
It seems android isn't even booting to enable the debug bridge.
So I went to the "fastboot" as last resource (reboot using power+vol.down+switch.toggle), and did the command:
Code:
android-sdk-linux> platform-tools/fastboot oem unlock
I selected the "open lock" image and rebooted, now it shows: Bootloader v0.03.06-ICS(UnlockMode), but hangs in the same point.
So I downloaded a stock image from:
acertabletforum/stock-ics-recovery-image
Burned it using:
Code:
$> platform-tools/fastboot flash recovery /home/gaglocal/backup/acer/stockrecovery.img
sending 'recovery' (6144 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.882s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 2.689s]
finished. total time: 4.571s
Same status after reboot.
So I've downloaded 'stock ROMs' from:
4shared/AcerStockROM
But when I try to write using fastboot:
Code:
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
So it seems this ROM is just for SDcard update (ie.: place the zip file as update.zip in the root of a fat32 sdcard, then boot using power+vol.down to perform the recovery process with it) but it fails and shows a dead android with a red triangle in the belly, not funny.
As the error that shows up when trying to issue the factory reset is after "erasing user data" I decided to do:
Code:
platform-tools/fastboot erase data
erasing 'data'...
FAILED (remote: (00030003))
finished. total time: 0.167s
This indicates this tablet has some HW misconfiguration issue. As some posted, I repeated the proccess a few times - no luck.
So I wrote the CWM 5.5.0.4 image from this forum, rebooted, and performed the sdcard recovery method again.
Same dead droid icon...
Finally I decided to erase the flash again, starting with the cache partition, using fastboot:
Code:
platform-tools/fastboot erase cache
erasing 'cache'...
OKAY [ 1.452s]
finished. total time: 1.453s
Finally, rebooted with the "factory reset" again and it worked!
At least i learned a lot without having to go to the Nvidia very-low level flashing process

Could you list the steps you took for the last successful attempt?
I tried all method but stuck at recovery.
Also does following;
"fastboot flash:raw boot boot.img-kernel boot.img-ramdisk.gz
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
unable to recover stock.
My bootloader is unlocked
Before Rooting ROM:
Kernel version: 2.6.39.4+
Image version : Acer_AV041_A200_RV10RC02_WW_GEN1
Build No. : Acer_AV041_A200_1.076.00_WW_GEN1
So while flashing an update, my Pixel 3XL turned off and now it only loads in fastboot (every other options goes to black screen). On the fastboot screen I get "Device state: error!" not locked or unlocked. When trying flash-all.bat, here's the read out. When I exit, nothing has changed. I can still only turn on the phone in fastboot and no other options. If anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate it!

Do you have the current platform tools? Also, use a C>A USB cable and not a C>C.
Yup, using a C to A cable. Downloaded the tools today so I'm pretty sure it's more of the device state error! problem and the error of no response error during flash.

No answer about the platform tools, but had you updated the phone before this way? If not, different computer, cable, port, etc. The platform tools haven't changed since a few months before nd of last year, so if you had done this before that part should be safe...
Did you confirm the file download and make sure that it was not corrupted when you unzipped the D/L? Otherwise, the above post about using the OTA through recovery is a good option.
P.S. It helps if you quote the person trying to help so that they know there is an answer.

How do I sideload the ota if I can't get into recovery? All the menu option through the volume rocker in fastboot leads to the device turning off.
Every now and then I have to swap ports on my computer because I'll get weird errors, not sure if I've seen this one specifically though. Swap ports, swap cables, mix and match until it works or you go through every option you've got.
Speak gentle words of encouragement too.

Have you tried the flash-all besides since the initial try? If not, I would definitely retry. Perhaps try changing slots from fastboot and see if you can boot to system or recovery (for OTA or factory reset) or run the flash-all from the other slot.

If that doesn't work, you should be able to change slots with the fastboot boot [twrp].img version of TWRP (run from fastboot) and then reboot to system.

Try this:
On your Computer:
- Open a Command Prompt in the Platform-tools folder
- Make sure these files are in the Platform-tools folder:
bootloader-crosshatch-b1c1-0.1-5191736.img
radio-crosshatch-g845-00009-181130-b-5157073.im
image-crosshatch-pq2a.190305.002.zip
- Boot the phone to fastboot mode
- Connect the phone to the computer with the A to C USB cable
The type these commands (one at a time) at the Command Prompt and press enter after each command:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crosshatch-b1c1-0.1-5191736.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-crosshatch-g845-00009-181130-b-5157073.img

Sorry, but I just got back online (been one of those nights). Looking at all the back and forth, I feel like there is a communication gap between you and those of us helping. There are questions and suggestions unanswered. For one, I never saw a reply to if this is the first time you are attempting to update via a flash-all on the same computer/port/cable/etc. That will answer a bit about your knowledge and the hardware functionality. If all that is a go, the only thing that jumps out at me is the possibility of a bad download or something easy to remedy like a command problem or file location/path issue. Have you checked with Google? I know that getting a replacement sucks, but you may need to start over. The folks here have done this tons of times and got back from bricks probably more severe than yours. I have never seen a device that could get to fastboot not be recoverable if all of the things we are talking about are being executed properly, but there is always a first like a serious phone hardware failure that nothing is going to solve except for a replacement.
One thing I see is the PS location. I know there are some commands that don't play nice in PowerShell, so type 'cmd' from PS and get to a standard command prompt.

How do I sideload the ota if I can't get into recovery? All the menu option through the volume rocker in fastboot leads to the device turning off.

I had the exact thing happened to me on my Pixel 2 XL but nothing worked,
not even the "Duce Script". I decided to use the "Skip Soft" tool as my last resort
and to my surprise it worked and fixed it in less than 10 minutes!
Unfortunately the Dev hasn't added the Crosshatch yet. I suggest you download it
and ask him to add it in the "Device Support" section, he''ll add it once he sees more requests.
Good luck.

My apologies, I thought a previous comment mentioning computer/port/cables that I responded to clarified this. This is not the issue as I've done it with multiple desktops and multiple USB A to C cables. Even when attempting to change from slot B to A I get the device state error, which I've copied in another post on here. Isn't that the problem here? If I can't figure out a way to get around the fact that there's no response when trying to determine the lock state, I don't think we can fix the problem here. I don't see how this would have to do with being in powershell or not or being a bad download. Since most things fail in fastboot because of this error, this is what I was trying to get more info on to get corrected as it clearly seems to be the heart of the failure.
Unfortunately a lot of the back and forth is because of the repetition about cables and ports or asking me to recover which I appreciate, but I stated choosing recovery sends me to a black screen. When there's been actual commands to try in fastboot, I've posted the results they've given, but it still comes back to " FAILED (remote: 'error getting device locked state No Response') "

I appreciate the reply. Some of the things are just things that take no real effort (like downloading/extracting the factory image again to be safe), while the PS thing was just to make sure that if folks are sending commands to try that they are sending the right ones. The question about whether you were using a Mac or Linix (that I think has been deleted since I read it) got me thinking about that and not that running the flash-all batch would react differently.
Last thing, have you tried anything with the TWRP .img version like changing slots or even doing a factory reset?
Hi guys,
Quick backstory: I've got a Pixel XL 3, I sold my Pixel XL on eBay with a description like "PIxel XL, bootlocker unlocked, rooted and blah blah". The user has returned the phone to me claiming it is not working. I've received the device and sure enough it's in some sort of bootloop (although this was definitely not how I sent it to him). This post is not to rant about how I've been shafted by the buyer although I am still furious because I now have a phone which I hope is not actually bricked. (and I know I'd never win a dispute process cause I cannot prove the phone was in a working state when I sent it).
To cut to the chase:
The phone boot loops - it shows the "G" on the white background for less than a second, then reboots, after 2 seconds, it comes back up with the "G" and reboots, and so on.
I can get into fastboot mode. Interestingly, the status shows "Device is LOCKED" - which is definitely NOT how I previously had the phone.
I cant get to recovery mode. It just goes into the boot loop again.
Using the adb tools, I cant issue the "fastboot flashing unlock" or "fastboot oem unlock" commands because it returns: "FAILED (remote: 'oem unlock is not allowed')"
I am unable to get into the phone OS to change the settings because the phone is boot looping
Given the fact I am unable to get to recovery, I am unable to sideload an OTA zip. And given the fact that I cant boot into the OS, I cant enable oem unlocking.
Do I have any hope at resurrecting this phone in any way?

If you can boot fastboot mode:
This is may work:
- Download the latest SDK Platform-tools (r28.0.3)from here to your computer.
- Download the latest Pixel XL (marlin) Factory Image ( May 2019) to your Computer.
- Install the SDK Platform-tools.
- Extract the Pixel XL (marlin) Factory Image in the Platform-tools folder.
Note: If you have your Pixel 3 XL Factory Image (crosshatch) extracted in the Platform-tools folder. Move the flash-all.bat, flash-all.sh and flash-all.base to another folder before extracting the Pixel XL (marlin) Factory Image to the Platform-tools folder.
- Open a Command prompt in the Platform-tools folder #1 in the guide
- Type flash-all
- If it works, it should boot.
- login to your google account and set up your phone.
[Guide] Pixel XL Android 9.0 (Pie) Unlock/Root/Install Images/Kernels/Recovery + by Homeboy76
Then if you purchased you Pixel XL from Google Do #3 to unlock the bootloader.
Thanks Homeboy76 for taking the time to provide a detailed response. However unfortunately this did not work. I tried it already (but with what possibly could have been an older version of the platform tools and older factory image). So I gave it another shot using platform-tools r28.0.3 and the marlin factory image version 9.0.0 (PQ3A.190505.001, May 2019).
The results were the same as my previous attempt. I get several errors on certain commands in the flash-all.bat file. These all provide a error responses complaining about the bootloader, my guess is because it is locked and using flash-all requires an unlocked bootloader. Whereas a side-load is said to work regardless of it being locked, but is only possible via recover (which isn't working for me). For clarity, the out put of flash-all looks like this:

Random question. How did this guy manage to lock the bootloader when it was unlocked by me using 'dePixel8' a very long time ago. He did question why the phone was starting up with the warning message, and I explained that it's by design because the bootloader is unlocked. I guess he decided to try and "fix" that, and ended up screwing up this phone. Hence sending it back with a fake story.

Darn CRS ( Can't Remember S#@t) your original post did say the bootloader was locked.
Locking the bootloader is easy but , if he locked the bootloader without returning the phone to 100 percent stock. He most likely bricked the phone.
I had a guy screw up a phone the day he got it. Luckily he admitted to everything and did not try to return.
I bet you can get this guy to admit fault if you try hard enough.

Did you every find a way to fix the issue? I'm in the EXACT same boat with a Pixel 3 XL stuck in a boot loop. Only thing I can access is Fastboot. My scenario is EXACTLY how you described yours.
