Moto Cricket E only begins in fastboot and recovery - Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi friends have a question about something that happened to me.
I did something too stupid and now I regret it.
What happens is that I try to update my motorola moto
Brazil 5.1 manually, but try the first time gave me error and does not install the rom achievement, all was well up there, but then gave me the idea to install it again and installed all achievement but by giving reboot not over 5.1 logo rather return to the fastboot mode and brand me as follows:
downgraded version for boot
failed to validate boot image
fastboot reason: fall-trough from the normal boot mode
After that try to install the factory cricket rom 4.4.4 installed but fails because the bootloader is updated to the latest version and also the bootloader is locked (For more problems can not unlock the bootloader for reasons of cricket company and AT & T do not allow)
So what occurred to me was searching and searching but what I found was that I must unlock the bootloader to fix it but I can not as I'm in school and I'm lately busy I could give you head to fix it, oh and I have also seen that could try with RDS lite but I do not have a Windows machine to test (Install the firmware was for Mac to travez of the terminal) ....
Not so good if you can help me the truth is that you can not make or sell in this state and seek or find an expert who can fix me but of course not all will be free xD
If they could seriously help I would appreciate it with all my strength
Salu2 and hugs from a remote location in Venezuela
Sorry to use such bad English translator google xD

please help not able to root / not able to boot into recovery

Hi Fellow Users!
I just bought LG v10 yesterday with international warranty even though i live in UAE, the problem is i am following all the steps from "step by step guide to root for tmo" but unfortunately i am not able to boot into phone recovery which is odd for me as i am a long time user of android, is that possible my phone doesn't have one? I tried everything adb, manually but nothing worked, i once booted my phone into recovery via adb but i saw green android picture with no command written on it and fastboot didn't worked there so there is that.
1) i tried dirty_cow but stuck at getenforce "permissive didn't appeared which is must needed, i think its related to my bootloader"
2) should i follow LGUP procedure even i am not sure my bootloader is unlocked?
P.S my phone is TMO although its unlocked to use any network.
Please advise, thank you
Unfortunately flashing KDZ file bricked my phone, :crying:
Now its just off it doesn't turn on tried everything any advise?
Update: Went to LG TechServe and handed over my phone to re-flash the original firmware, bad thing they don't cover international warranties as i live in UAE and the model i have is TMO with international warranty so there's that.
Reason to share the story, may people learn from this.
Have you tried with Kingroot app or kingoroot app? These apps can root many devices.

Moto Z bricked OEM Locked

Hello friends of XDA, I have a big problem between hands, I have a MOTO Z and I had it in android 7.0 since last year the update to andorid 7.1.1 did not arrive and I felt that with android 7 the battery was consumed very quickly, so I tried to find the update to flash it and just about 3 days ago I found it, I proceeded to download it and flash it in fastboot and adb.
The thing is that a few months ago, browsing through my phone (I had already rotated it, and unlocked the bottloader, I decided to re-block the bootloader, and remove the root, which never worked at 100) I got into the developer options, and I saw an option that until then I didn't know about its "OEM Unlock"function, as it was turned on and deactivated because I thought it didn't work.
Returning to the update flashing I proceeded as usual, with the commands, I proceed to restart the device and show the image of the boot of motrola but then it shows me a message in red letters.
"Startup Failed"
"failed to pass validation, backup to fastboot.
I thought it was a compatibility problem with the downloaded version of 7.1.1 so again I decided to flash the stock rom 7.0 but when I finished and restart the same message appeared.
I started to investigate and it seems that the OEM blockade is responsible for not being able to install any Stock Rom, or anything, and now I have a nice brick with Moto mods and I can't use it.
I wanted to unlock OEM in fastboot but nothing. sends message from "ALLOW OEM UNLOCK IN SETTINGS"
There is way to unlock the OEM from pc or fastboot without needing to be unlocked from the android settings, as in my case it is impossible for me,
I'd be very grateful for your help friends, I know it's a bit tedious to read but it's the only phone I have and I feel weird without it on the street.:bueno::bueno::llorando:
I'm with same problem here!

Try to boot in Fastboot flash twrp and flash ressurection remix rom. It's great rom. Forget about locking. I had the same problem like you as I was trying to flash stock ROM and lock bootloader.
I gave up on this.

Well, when the root didn't work properly, I flashed the phone again and blocked the bootloader. Will I still be able to install TWPR or should I lose my phone?

What do you mean with "I blocked my bootloader"?
Twrp is easy to flash. Root is integrated in ressurection remix rom. And this rom is great. Just try to flash twrp in Fastboot and than ressurection remix with twrp.
Can you boot in Fastboot?
Do you remember what build of 7.1.1 you had on your device before downgrading to 7.0?
If so, I would suggest finding that firmware (the full stock firmware, not OTA updates) or newer if you can, and try to flash that. Since your bootloader is still likely from the 7.1.1 build, a locked bootloader will only permit files matching the same patch level (i.e. from the exact same stock ROM as that bootloader patch) to boot.
If not, then unfortunately there's not a lot we can do. You could wait for a newer firmware to get leaked, but as your device is unable to boot (due to failing the bootloader checks) and you cannot toggle OEM unlocking because you cannot boot, it's a nasty vicious circle that is difficult to get out of. You may have to consider sending your device for service and pay for an expensive motherboard replacement otherwise, since Motorola have a record of your device being unlocked. Your service centre experience may vary.
Only lock a bootloader after ensuring you've flashed all the stock firmware and it is all the same patch level as your bootloader. Hopefully you'll find newer firmware that you can repair with.

I solved it, I finally flashed the stock rom to my phone and it works.
Apparently my pc was not flashing the stock rom in adb, and the phone turned off when loading the software. I did it 3 times until I load correctly and start well.
if you have the same problem apparently then OEM Blocking is not responsible. You have to flash the most current rom or the one that you had by default when the brick happened to you, you flash it in a normal way with commands of adb and ready, I would have to come back to life.
download from firmware center MotoZ Griffin the most current rom stock at 7.1.1

Thanks for your help friend, I finally flashed it with a recent android 7.1.1 update. Apparently the OEM lockout was not the culprit, but it was an interrupted flash of android 7.1.1 at some point when loading the software to the phone, it would shut down on its own and not complete the installation, which showed me the mentioned message. I didn't realize that and thought it was the OEM blockade.
I finally did it on another pc and it worked. the phone came back to life.
I have one Moto Z2 Force (XT1789-05), bought from coolicool.com, I didn't know device came Unlocked Bootloader, Device rom had problem with many apps, I googled and found one topic in XDA developer to Install Stock Rom, I downloaded and Installed India Rom, it's worked somehow fine, but still had problem, I downloaded Verizon Rom, Android 8, after Installed Android 8 Verizon Rom, Locked device bootloader immediately, now device stuck at Welcome Wizard in Android 8, after select language I got this message: (Please wait, this may take a few minutes) this is proof video (http://ahmn.co/Upload/IMG_0161.MOV), after this issue, device already locked, I can't unlock, because need to go to the Developer Option in Setting, I stucked in Welcome Wizard, there isn't any bypass, So, I start to search in Google, XDA-Forum, Android Central and more, I created many threads, many requests, no one can't help me, I tried to reach google developer support to the tell to me how can I bypass Android 8 Welcome Wizard, there is must be a way, but I can't find it, now I can access to Android Recovery and Bootloader
1. if you help me to FORCE UNLOCK device without need Developer Option in setting my problem will solve
2. If you help me to Bypass Android Welcome Wizard, access setting and enable OEM Unlock
3. If you help me to update the device from Android 8 to Android 9 Verizon ROM via ADB Sideload or Update from SD card in Recovery mode
4. If you have any idea to how can I fix it
Extra Information: I bought Belkin and Uni USB-C to Ethernet Adaptor to help me bypass Android 8 Welcome Wizard, I bought WSKY WIFI Adaptor because device Wifi can't find any network (I found QR setup by tap several times in Language Selection), after this section need to download google device policy apk, my device can't find any Wifi Network and my Ethernet Adaptor can't help me either, So, I just remained with my phone, and I can't do anything,
Please, someone, help me

Problem lg v10 android 6 update

Hi guys, regards.
Recently my brother gave me his lg v10 and updated it to android 6 through LgUp, it was a big mistake ... every time I turn it on it says that the vpn has stopped, it does not let me get into security settings because it stops, I get many mistakes. my question is, can you go back to android 5? ... can someone help me with the kdz of android 5 for the h900 version? ... I can not find it anywhere ... and in the meantime I have two more queries ... unlock the bootloader but my phone does not start in fastboot mode, and probe in several ways, with the keypad, by means of commands, but there is no way to start fastboot mode, know what is the problem?
and my other query is if there is any way to root in android 6 without having the bootloader unlocked?
Thank you, sorry for so many questions, :crying:
This is a basic answer but have you tried to do a full wipe and then flash again the KDZ?

[SOLVED] Bootloader locked, bootloop, can't unlock

Hey folks,
I've tried my best so far, but I am stuck.
I wanted to change the ROM on my wife's Redmi 3 pro. It was running on a rather old RR version and I wanted to go back to MIUI to have a better camera.
After an unsuccesful attempt to flash this, I was stuck in a bootloop.
This - in general - was no problem: I've decieded to flash an official firmware via MiFlash, but this apparently didn't work as well.
So, now MiFlash has locked the phone again but not properly installed anything.
I can access Fastboot and the pre-installed recovery, but nothing more.
The unlock tool tells me that I can't unlock it because it is apparentyl not bound to my MI account (and I have no clue with which account I've unlocked it the last time).
Desperately appreciation any kind of help!
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: I was apparently not patient enough. After quite a while it finally booted. Now I can access the system again, but still can't unlock the phone.
UPDATE 2: I also found out with which account I've unlocked it and thus everything worked after all. Now sporting Lineage 14 with camera mod.
Please, feel free to explain how can it finally booted. Your experience might be help somebody sometime.

A3 bricked after trying to flash stock and relock

I followed the instructions here to unlock the A3 bootloader and these instructions to install TWRP and Magisk.
After toying around with things, losing Google Play certification and having push notifications in doze/app standby mode stop working, I decided to revert things back to stock and relock the bootloader.
Before modifying things, my phone was running the EU ROM with the November security patch: V10.3.12.0.PFQEUXM. I went here and downloaded the stock image archive for that version.
I use Linux, so I ran the flash_all_lock.sh script and everything seemed to work without any issues. There were no error messages and all the images seemed to be flashed successfully. At the end of the steps, the script locked the bootloader and the phone rebooted. It then showed the Android One logo for a second then immediately went into fastboot mode. I rebooted it again and this cycle repeated. If I tell fastboot to continue, I get this error:
Code:
$ fastboot continue
resuming boot...
FAILED (remote: Failed to load image from partition: Load Error)
finished. total time: 0.001s
I tried to reflash the images again, but I understandably get an error because the bootloader is locked now. Naturally, I tried to run the fastboot commands to unlock it again, but that also fails, presumably because I can't boot into the OS to toggle the developer option's "Allow OEM unlocking" switch:
Code:
$ fastboot flashing unlock
...
FAILED (remote: Flashing Unlock is not allowed
)
finished. total time: 0.000s
At this stage, I throw up my hands in failure and presume the device is now totally bricked. After taking a few days to relax about it, I figured I would ask on here if anyone has any thoughts that could help. I fully expect the handset to need replaced and will accept the responsibility for breaking it, although I don't know how I managed to break it.
Is there some way to unlock the bootloader now when I'm not able to actually boot into Android to toggle the option to allow unlocking it? Is the device just FUBAR at this stage? I feel like there would be some way to fix this, but I'm at a loss as to how without some help.

I am new to this, my phone also seemed unusable and with the application "miflash" through windows, I put the official rom and came back to life.
It also happened to me that I had to change the USB port on the PC so that it didn't fail me ...

Thanks for the reply. I actually tried this as well but it did not work. MiFlash just appears to be running the flash_all_lock.bat script on Windows and it failed because the bootloader was not already unlocked according to its debug logs when I ran it. I should have mentioned that above.
Not sure if it will help but did you try a factory reset?
Press and hold the Power+Volume Down buttons untill you see the android with the no command. Press and hold the Power button. Press and release the Volume Up button once then release the Power button. Then you should see some recovery options.
In can't get the phone to boot into recovery. Holding power and volume down just speedily reboots the phone into fastboot over and over. Using the volume up button instead just reboots the phone very fast. I never see the no command android.

Try
Code:
$ fastboot set_active a
. This is an issue with the flashing script. Before the line fastboot $* flashing lock command it should have fastboot $* set_active a. Your phone is not booting to system partition because the bootloader wasn't told which partition (a/b) to boot from.

The issue is caused by fastboot rom containing dummy system_b image and flashing script "forgetting" to force partition A as active. If a phone has B as an active partition and someone uses flash_all_lock.bat script, the phone's screwed. No idea what brought Xiaomi to this "brilliant" idea, not only there is a higher chance to brick the phone, but the zip file is also unnecessarily larger.
With locked bootloader it isn't possible to switch active partition anymore, so the phone is a (semi)brick. EDL mode is usually used to reflash locked bootloaders.
Idk, but I was flashing stock again after failed attemp to flash pixel experiance.Partition was set to B, after flash it wont boot, but I dont know why fastboot set_active b wouldnt work so I had to flash TWRP get into twrp set partitoin to A and flash stock rom again. Try that

There are two commands for setting active partition, depending on the fastboot version. It's either old
fastboot set_active a
or newer
fastboot --set-active=a

if you open flashing script file (.bat or .sh) in a text editor, you will see that fastboot is flashing system.img to system_a partition and system_other.img to system_b partition. That system_other.img is a dummy image and is not bootable. You either:
Option 1: Set active partition to A before running any stock flashing script.
Option 2: Replace system_other.img to system.img in the script.
Option 3: Force partition A after flashing userdata.img and before any lock or reboot command.

Stock rom was flashed in slot B instead of A and "flash all lock option" was checked off in mi flash (default setting). If I didnt know any better i'd think Xiaomi does this on purpose. I will never buy another Xiaomi.

You can't blame xiaomi for your negligence.
If you don't know what you are doing then either don't do it or ask people here on the forums or do some research yourself.
Of course xiaomi are going to have the flash all lock option enabled by default because the only time people would really use mi flash is to completely revert back to stock.
All information on miflash online will tell you make slot a active slot before flashing in mi flash.
Most manufacturers are the same nowadays anyway it's not just xiaomi.
All relevant information is there you just didn't read it/weren't careful when you flashed.
Don't ever be afraid to ask a question here on the forums if your not sure, you will get help even if you think the question is too noob or stupid.
You can always try get your system up and going through edl mode but you will need someone with a verified xiaomi account to help you.
Always read the relevant information before trying anything on your device.
To say you won't buy xiaomi again is silly seeing as it was a mistake on your behalf, "I cut my finger so that means all knives are crap" is kinda how it sounds

Theres always a fanboy in the crowd. Whoever programmed the batch file at Xiaomi made an error on wich slot it shouldve been flashed to. I've flashed devices a 100 times and never had an issue like this until i got a Xiaomi.
Now did I miss I needed to be on slot A? Yes I did. Still its Xiaomi's error for releasing botched firmware. How exactly do I find someone with EDL authorized account in US? If you have one, or if you can point me to someone who has one i'd be happy as a clam.
As a side note, my mother is from Cork.

Not a fanboy by any stretch of the imagination I just don't see it as an error on there behalf. They gave all relevant information on how to flash.
Someone already pointed out in a different thread of a guy that has the account here on XDA but I can't remember where I seen it. @_mysiak_ can you please let this guy know who has the verified mi account.
I hope you can get your device up and going and I do understand how frustrating this must be but it is fixable.
Hey maybe you can come visit Ireland with your mother and we can sort out the device then :laugh: joke

Ya I wouldn't go trusting some random Russian site either. I don't think there is anything you can do without either
A) going into edl and using a verified mi account
B) bringing it to a service centre (which nobody wants to do)
In fastboot you can't get any commands to work now right? Your device is fully locked again?

That Russian site is run by the XDA guy from what I understood. There are other paid services which have Xiaomi service accounts, I only pointed you to the cheapest "verified" eshop. Just Google another one if you don't trust Russians. All of them will need to connect to your PC over Teamviewer and do the flashing, you will just follow the instructions (connect the phone, reboot it etc.).
