I wanted to unlock my bootloader and install a custom rom but my windows won't recognise the fastboot mode so I started up with linux
I saw tutorials of recoveryX.exe and flashtool which only works for windows so I was searching for a manual way so that I could do it in the terminal ..
so I found some tutorial online which told me to flash some file something like
fastboot flash boot xyz.inf I don't remember the extension perfectly but it wasn't a zip or an img ..
and after that my phone turned off, I can still go for fastboot mode but I don't see anything on the screen please help me
I do not have windows so I cannot use flashtool or recoveryX.exe

Congrats for the brick.
Can you still get into fastboot/flash mode?
I've yet to hear about someone who used rexoveryx and it worked, forget all about it.
There is flashtool for linux, you can use it.
BTW, the only files you flash with fastboot, are with img, elf or sin extention.

I have downloaded flash tool for linux but I cannot get it work .. I cannot get it to install or anything
isn't there a way to do all this manually through Terminal Fastboot commands?
That's the only thing that I can manage to work.
Edit : I have flashed the boot.img file from the downloaded ROM I did it this way (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
and now fortunately the phone starts and also now can be charged but the OS doesn't start .. I think this can be because I haven't flashed the OS but only the boot img?
what can I do now?
P.S : I cannot use the Flashtool or RecoveryX :/ so if there's a way to do it via fastboot or something it will really be appreciated

There is a guide around for you in the Q&A/General Section.
You should be careful when rooting phone and flashing stuff. The acts u mention above, i think you ca recover very easily. Just read the guides and follow these steps.
1. Flash a proper recovery for ICS or JB (whichever stock rom u had).
2. Download a proper ROM, ICS or JB (whichever you want to)
3. Flash the zip thorugh recovery and wait for it to complete.
4. Turn off the phone,
5. Boot to fastboot mode and flash the boot.img files (which is the kernel and it is different for each rom)
Actually i think flashing the correct boot.img will solve ur issue but you better follow the steps i mentioned above.

Yasir

No No No No No NO.
Rom.zip , and i repeat "*.zip" are meant to be flashed via recovery.
for boot.img, and i repeat "*.img" files are meant to be flash via FASTBOOT mode. You need proper exe file on a pc for that. "fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img"

Then use another recovery.
Alright, so i have an EVO 4g lte and i attempted to root it today. It didnt turn out very well to say the least... I unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP recovery.I then flashed superSU, and at the same time i flashed a custom rom and gapps zip. Then hit reboot. It has not booted up since.. It will just sit at the white HTC screen. i tried clearing cache and Dalvik cache, also did a factory reset. tried flashing cm10 rom onto the device as well as a rooted stock rom. nothing works! the farthest i have gotten was with the cm10 rom and it went to the cyanogenmod boot logo but was in bootloop still. I downloaded the ADT tool bundle but the phone wont show up on the device list. Can anyone help? im completely stumped.. Im fairly new to rooting and custom roms, but i have rooted multiple tablets and samsung galaxy phones and havent had any issues. this is my only phone also, i just gave my backup to my mother because her phone broke... please if anyone knows how to fix this let me know. when i boot into recovery mode it says Tampered and Unlocked at the top as well as S-On. I can also go into TWRP recovery with no problems. just cant use fastboot with my computer (windows 7 PC).
I am pretty sure i know what i did wrong, I flashed SuperSU to gain root at the same time i flashed the custom rom and gapps.. on all the other devices i would reboot after root and then flash the custom rom seperately.. but is there a way to correct my mistake?
Since you are s-on you have to fastboot flash the boot.img/kernel first and then flash CM and gapps
Any questions PM me
OK sorry to be a noob but how do I do that? I used cmd.exe while rooting but now it won't recognize my device. Much thanks for any help!!
Sent from my GT-P5110 using xda app
If in bootloader type fastboot devices
In recovery type adb devices
See if you get a reply
In fast boot USB menu on the phone, I typed fastboot devices on cmd and it came up blank.

Sounds like a driver issue
1.Uninstall everything HTC from your PC
2.Reboot your PC
3.Plug your phone in and it will load a bunch of drivers
4.Try the command again
If that does not work get the latest drivers from HERE use the ones dated 6/6/13
and don't forget the BMP drivers towards the bottom of post 1

:fingerscrossed:
OK were connected now, now what? :good:
PC and phone are talking ?
fastboot devices
yes they are talking now. fastboot devices and my phone shows up.
i tried fastboot flash boot.img but it wont recognize the command, i placed the boot.img file into the platform-tools folder inside my C drive. what am i doing wrong? its late at night and im frustrated so i know im screwing something up...
ok good BTW which version of twrp are you using? Let me know before you continue.
pull the boot.img from the rom zip and copy it to the folder you opened your cmd window from
then type fastboot boot boot.img
once it says successful press the power button to return to HBOOT and use the vol keys to navigate to recovery
Once there choose wipe and wipe cache/dalvik cahce/system/data or factory reset depending which version of twrp you are using
then flash CM and gapps
C:\Users\Corey>fastboot boot boot.img
cannot load 'boot.img': No error
thats what i typed in and thats what it said back to me. not quite sure what the problem is.
the boot.img is placed in the same folder as the fastboot application

same thing, cannot load unknown error. also i am using twrp 2.6.0.0
Ok lets try something different at least it will get you up and running
Get twrp v2.4.1.0 from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jewel
put it in the same folder you are using and we will downgrade your twrp for now
copy and paste this in the cmd window
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-jewel.img
then fastboot erase cache
ok got the twrp done succesfully as well as the wipe cache. whats next? i think i figured out what i was doing wrong, i hadnt opened the file directory. cd downloads, cd android files, etc.
should i try going into recovery now on the phone and flash a rom, or should we stay on fastboot and push the boot.img?
Easiest way to open a cmd window is to press shift and right click inside the folder and choose open cdm window here
That way you know you are in the correct folder.
Yeah go ahead and try to flash the boot.img again
Okay, I need some help here with my One X+. Here's what happened: I tried installing a kernel and messed it up (pretty sure), then tried restoring it from a backup. Didn't work. Then I wiped the device. Then I sent a rom through adb to the sdcard and tried installing it. Nothing, happened, told me I have no OS installed. So right now my situation is that my i don't know what to do to fix my device. I think i have to install a different kernel and rom that work together but not 100%, some clarification would be nice. I can use adb and fastboot and have access to TWRP.
Device Specs:
Rooted
Unlocked Bootloader
HTC One X+ International Version 64gig Space
If nobody reply's soon I'll delete this thread, although like 60 people have looked at this thread.

Try this send a ROM as u did through adb and install it and flash the appropriate Kernel for that ROM....
The kernel has to be flashed seperately from fastboot mode........
or If u have the nandroid backup restore that and copy the boot.emmc.win from the TWRP backup folder to PC
flash the boot.emmc.win from fastboot mode.....
both would get ur phone boot....

I did flash the rom and it worked fine. The kernel I downloaded was automatically flashed the boot.img for using windows.bat. But when I go to reboot the device TWRP tells me that my phone has no OS...
Go to Viper ROM Thread in Development Section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2122390) and download the ROM, then download Kernel and Recovery Flasher (http://d-h.st/rNC).
Start Kernel and Recovery Flasher as Administrator on your PC, change to manual mode and put in the fields out of the downloaded files of the flasher (boot.img, modules folder). Put the ROM on your SD via adb, start again in TWRP and flash the ROM.
I assume you flashed your boot.img with kernel you tried to install, so only install a ROM does not help....
Hope it helps!

i have a macbook but also have access to a windows comp
please if anyone can help me with step by step instruction to bring the phone back to a working state i would forever be thankful.

If you do have a GPe DO NOT FLASH AN FTF it will result in a permanent hard brick. Look for DooMLoRD's return to stock thread in GPe development section, it will return you to stock 4.4.2 and then you can let it update from there.
Thank you I will give that a try and post back results

I must apologize for giving out bad advice. Stock recovery will not allow flashing older firmware.
I think what may be possible is flashing the 4.4.4 system IMG with fastboot. Maybe @egzthunder1 or @blueether will be nice enough to offer some better advice.

You should be able to flash a 4.4.4 system image
Instructions would be:
Download system_4.4.4.7z from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799423
Extract the system_4.4.4.img

Again I apologize for posting without refreshing my memory by looking up the older threads. There was two issues with my first post.
1. Stock recovery will not allow flashing older firmware as I mentioned.
2. There is an edited ota zip but it needs to be flashed with custom recovery, which I believe can only be used with an unlocked bootloader.
Hopefully fastboot flashing the system img does the trick.

Easiest way to get the drivers may to download flashtool and grab them from the drivers folder.
ok I'm on a windows 8 comp and I've downloaded and installed adb and fast boot along with the sony drivers ..i have the phone in fast boot mode and usb connected and no matter what i do i can't get the comp to connect with the phone, am i missing something with windows 8 ?
am i doing something wrong with driver installation?
What am i doing wrong? i will gladly and thankfully accept any advice..

Yes Windows 8 is a pain, Google for "disable driver signature verification in Windows 8" and see if that helps.

You should be able to flash a 4.4.4 system image
Instructions would be:
Download system_4.4.4.7z from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799423
Extract the system_4.4.4.img
Code:
fastboot flash system <path_to_system_4.4.4.img>

You need the whole path ex. C:\user\icotulookn\downloads\4.4.4 system img.
I am positive I found the file and was able to copy and paste the path into adb, not sure if that works for fastboot.

I havent used windows (if I can help it) for near 15 years but something like
fastboot flash system C:\system_4.4.4.img
"remote:command not allowed" is probably because of the locked BootLoader, I thought that may happen
Do you know what the fole you deleted was? you may be able to adb push it back onto the system if the GPe boots far enough.
The only other options I can think of are:
Ask Sony for a singed update.zip of the full 4.4.4 (no patch files) so it can be flashed by the stock recovery
Or use adb to do an oem unlock* - but this will wipe DRM keys and render the camera without auto focus
* You could try and run TA backup, but I think it will fail to gain root to do the back up... can you get shell access to the device? "adb shell"
Gonna suggest something off the left field, but if you have access to stock recovery... Have you tried doing a full wipe? I mean, unless ypu royally messed something up elsewhere, flashing system would give you the same end result as a full wipe.
Hopefully this helps.

Some things I am wondering.
1. Can 5.0 update be flashed in stock recovery or would.it fail due to missing files?
2. Can a kernel with recovery be hotbooted to flash the edited 4.4.2 ota?
3. Can the 4.4.4 system img be flashed with flashtool?
4. Is there a fastboot command similar to "adb devices" that will confirm it is connected properly?
I swear that I had the same error trying to return GPe to stock using WIN 8.1 laptop, on WIN 7 desktop it worked fine.

1. Yes it can but you need to place the zip file in a folder that recovery will recognize (/cache or /sd)
2. Technically yes. However, you still need to be unlocked for that AFAIK.
3. I don't see why not
4. Flashtool will confirm if you have a properly connected devices
There are two rules in life for being successful:
1. Never reveal everything you know;
2.
Hi everyone
I flashed my LG MAGNA H500TR with H50220a software and now cant flash back even I have the kdz file for proper software.
I tried lgup but it shows phone is as H50220a and giving error and says 'You have to select a known model,please'.
Also tried lg flash tool 2014 but result is 'Required info cannot be found' 'Contact the system administrator'
And lastly tried flash tool 2016 but this time it says wrong dll.
I havent find any solution for this for couple of years so far. The phone just stays bricked on the box.
Waiting your helps.
Best regards....

Did you try this https://flashstockrom.com/how-to-flash-stock-firmware-on-lg-h500tr-magna-y90/?
Is your device bootloader unlocked? Can you enter to fastboot and recovery?

Is your device bootloader unlocked? Can you enter to fastboot and recovery?[/QUOTE]
I can enter download mode but phone seen as different model because I flashed wrong firmware. When I use original lg application it does see the phone and can flash new update but when procedure done it's not changed the version. I tried to trick the app by replacing kdz file with h500tr .kdz but result was not working.

Use this procedure as reference but with the proper files for your device.
In fastboot you can try flashing all the partitions as possible;
- First delete to be sure a partition and then flash this partition, normally fastboot flashing overwrites the partition but to be sure procede this way; for example type first
Code:
fastboot erase boot
and then type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and so on, one by one all the possible files that you will find inside the rom.
And in recovery if you find some OTA update probably you can update the zip through it.

You can extract the files from your kdz rom using this method and tool https://androidmtk.com/extract-kdz-firmware then you can both use the files that I mentioned and also replace conveniently some files like probably dll that gave you error before and then repack the rom and flash it so.

Ok, download the tool linked and the rom unzipped/extracted and get them ready on a same folder on desktop just to have the things clear and I´ll sparse some time in a couple of hours maybe in 4 hours.
While try to perform other different ways to enter to fastboot so I can´t do this remotely, it´s mean usually to enter to download mode is vol down while connecting to pc and I guess that reversing for vol up while connecting to pc you get recovery cause from recovery also you can send device to bootloader/fastboot mode by using the menu and charge the battery well.

Thanks even for your effort mate. I think last chance is having it serviced from an LG service :good:
