Hi guys, my phone is Infocus M2 3G and I have rooted it earlier. Now I accidentally removed some services and now getting errors. I want to flash stock rom so it can be like previous one.
I installed ADB and fastboot in my system.
When I tried the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
the following error came:
Code:
sending 'recovery' (10240 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.417s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote:
Security deny - Err:0x2017
)
finished. total time: 0.430s
I searched and I got to know that this may be because of bootloader lock.
So I tried the command
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
and
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
For oem unlock it showed unknown command and for flashing unlock it showed all options of fastboot.
I installed Rom Manager and select boot into recovery option, it took me to Android Recovery System 3e.
I have stock rom files downloaded and just want to put stock rom in my phone. Any Ideas that can help?

You can try putting the stock ROM zip file on the root of your sdcard (As in not located in any sub folders) and renaming the ROM file to update.zip then use the stock recovery to flash the ROM. Let me know if you still have questions!
Hello,
I soft-bricked my Padfone A86 when I tried to flash my own kernel using TWRP 2.7.1.1. Before that I was running a rooted Android 5.0.2 (fw version WW-12.4.0.59) with TWRP recovery that I installed like described in an article at padfoneclub.com.
Installing the custom ROM damaged (at least) the boot and recovery partitions. That means I only have access to fastboot which I can not use to flash to those partitions:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.7.1.1-unofficial.img
target reported max download size of 1879048192 bytes
sending 'recovery' (10124 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.321s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Security is Enable, close 'flash' function !!)
finished. total time: 0.338s
The remote: Security is Enable, close 'flash' function !! error must have been introduced by a patch to the bootloader because I don't recall having this issue when I first flashed TWRP back then when I was running some previous firmware version.
What I can do though is to boot the boot.img (only from fw versions 10.12.3.116 and 10.12.3.130) like this: fastboot boot boot.img
Using saferoot I managed to get root access which enables me to write to the recovery and boot partitions like this:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/twrp-2.7.1.1-unofficial.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery bs=4096; sync;
Although I can confirm that the memory gets changed using the dd command the bootloader neither loads recovery nor the system on the boot partition.
I looked at a hexdump of the recovery partition and it seems like the only thing stored in it is the TWRP image followed by zeroes. Trying different block sizes didn't help neither.
Confusingly that method seemed to work for some people. Maybe TWRP requires to be written over some stock recovery and can't boot on its own?
I was only able to try to flash the stock recovery for fw versions above 10.12.3.13 as ASUS only included patch-files for the recovery partition before. That didn't work neither. I was assuming that the recovery is running on its own and does not depend on being the same version as the system (or the bootloader). Or might there be something on a different partition that prevents the recovery from working properly?
Booting into recovery results in getting into fastboot mode (fastboot continue doesn't help).
Booting the system stops at the bootloader which shows the error message: ERROR: Can not load Invalid boot image!!
The frustrating thing is that although I seem to have full access to the device memory I still don't manage to fix the recovery partition.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Try getting rid of the bs part. Flash the image at it's normal size.

Thanks for your reply.
I flashed both TWRP and stock recovery without the bs parameter. Same results as before: it doesn't boot into recovery.
Okay guys, I'm in full panic mode. I was just getting ready to reinstall my X with Lineage OS. I had CM 13.0 up until now. I've backuped everything, then powered off my phone (simple, normal power down).
After that I was trying to get into TWRP (I had 2.x.x.x installed), but VolDown+Power got me in a boot loop. The OnePlus Logo flashes, phone vibrates short then reset and it flashes/vibrates again. I tried booting normally, that doesn't work either.
The only thing I can do is get into fastboot, but I can't flash anything! The phone says it's locked (though I unlocked it before I put CM 13.0 on it)

Help! I can't boot my phone and I can't flash anything either. Is there anything I can do or missed?
After 2 hours of trying everything I found I'm now at a point where I could install the original (?) recovery via the MSM DownloadTool 2.0.2. Now I have a recovery which looks like stock... I can "Install from local" and "Install from USB". Tried the latter and I get the "adb sideload" mode. Tried to upload the latest Lineage OS Nightly through this sideload, but it fails after 47%.
If possible Flashing oos 3 might help or there's unbricking guide for opx you might want to see

Thanks! That was actually the solution: the stock recovery can only flash OOS, it seems. I flashed OOS 3.1.4, then enabled oem unlock, flashed TWRP and Lineage.
Still no idea why my phone wouldn't boot after powering it off or why my bootloader was locked in the first place.
Anyway you got out of trouble ??
I have the exact same problem, only I am running Sultan's ROM. Unfortunately, my phone is not backed up, because I wasn't going to install a new rom or anything. Is there any way to restore my phone without losing data. I downloaded the MsmDownloadTool V2.0, and am wondering if I could replace the stock recovery.img in there with the one for my ROM, or would this not work?
Ok, so I tried replacing the recovery.img, and it didn't work, so I used the original one from the tool and dirty flashed OOS 3.1.4. All my original files and apps are still there, but none of them will open, except for google apps, which I assume came in the OOS ROM (Google Play works but says 'download pending' if I try to download an app). Unfortunately, this mix of software doesn't let me enable developer options in the settings (when I tap the build number nothing happens) so I can't use ADB to make a backup. I think the only way to get things working is to do a clean install OxygenOS, which would lose all my files. I'll think I'll try to use a file manager to copy the contents of the internal storage to a USB device, then do a full clean install.
Also, in this weird state of software, only the back button works, the home and recent apps keys don't, so if I do something in Chrome, I need to restart the phone to do something else

I also faced that issue too and it happens when you have installed custom rom or recovery without first unlocking the bootloader. Do It Now If you haven't
Actually the bootloader was already unlocked (I needed that to install CM in the first place), but I think I accidentally re-locked it when I tried to remove root (to install a banking app).
As I wrote I already fixed the issue by installing the original bootloader/recovery and OOS over a serial link, then unlocked the bootloader again and installed the latest TWRP And Lineage. So all is fine now.

Rule #1 of flashing: always have a backup ready.
If you have TWRP installed and can get into recovery you can pull your files via ADB. After that I'd also recommend a clean install (full wipe).

I have to agree, but I wasn't flashing when the phone decided to brick itself , so I didn't have a recent backup. In the bricked state I could only access fastboot mode, not recovery . I ended up copying what I could from the internal storage partition (which basically had everything I needed anyway), then clean installing a new ROM, and restoring my files.
For anyone else who gets into the same situation, I recommend that you make sure to not turn on WiFi or mobile data after you dirty flash OxygenOS, and remove your Google account. This will mean that Google's backup of your phone and apps (if you turned that feature on) will be of your working setup. As I tried to use Google Play in the messed up system, Google decided to replace my backup with the bad config so I couldn't restore in the new ROM - although looking at the Google Drive app now, the good setup is backed up, only I have no way to restore it
Maybe I have the same problem, not sure. I can't boot the phone. Holding vol down + power only makes the phone reboot over and over until I let go. It turns off afterwards, never enters recovery mode. I can access fastboot mode, but my bootloader is locked so I can't flash anything. Any suggestions?
So I bought a son new phone.
As he told he installed magisk first, flashing "magisk_patched.img" through windows shell, everything was fine. Then He flashed twrp and magisk, everything was almost fine, he noticed that he cant play audio. He was trying to fix it first through installing magisk audio mods like viper and sauron. It didn't fixed anything, he unistalled it, everything was still in the same state, so he decided to flash stock frimware. He flashed through mi flashing tool, unfortunetaly It was image for "global xiaomi version" I mean "PFQMIXM" when as far as I know It should be "PFQEUXM". It didn't work and he was stuck in a bootloop. He found "MiUi 11 " image and for still unknown to me reason thought that it is going to fix everything. He flashed It again through mi flashing tool. It didn't work. He did that second time but at last he just closed the flashing tool while it was doing its thing.
At last he found eu firmware but now after all of that when i try to flash it or single files like crc list i get this:
flash crclist "E:\ModCR\adb\images\crclist.txt"
Sending 'crclist' (0 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error))
fastboot: error: Command failed
Device only boots to fastboot (no recovery/twrp either).
I tried erasing cache:
./fastboot erase cache
Erasing 'cache' FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error))
fastboot: error: Command failed
I tried to check slots:
./fastboot getvar active-slot
getvar:active-slot FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error))
Finished. Total time: 5.003s
I tried to change slot:
./fastboot set_active b
fastboot: error: Device does not support slots
When i typed "fastboot devices" It appeared as "??????"
./fastboot devices
???????????? fastboot
I don't know how to fix it, If anyone knows or has any kind of even small idea please write it down. I would be very greatfull.

What i understand from op post is that fastboot commands are not working. So how will he flash twrp?
The firmware version doesn't matter at all you can flash EU on global and vice versa it doesn't matter.
What I think happened was your son never switched to slot 'a' before using mi flash.
Xiaomi's install script for miflash requires you to be on slot 'a' before flashing.
The only way to recover from this is edl mode which requires a xiaomi verified account to fix.
MOD EDIT: Part removed
Please do not advertise/recommend remote unlock services on XDA. Please read the FORUM RULES especially those:
I have two N200.
I successfully rooted both of them. Some how the second phone got updated to android 12 and lost the root. Ever since this is a headache. Phone is already unlocked boot loader and shows "Device state - unlocked" in fastboot mode.
I wanted to try booting from the patched boot.img i had earlier (From version 11 i assume) just to see if it works but the command fails:
fastboot boot boot.img
Sending 'boot.img' (98304 KB)
Booting Failed (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Also maybe this is due to being on android 12? If so how can i downgrade? I downloaded the zip file from:

Thank you.
First, I don't think you can use your previous boot. Scanman has a thread on this forum with all pre-rooted boot files, you just need to match according to the FW you're on. Second, after A12 they don't allow fastboot boot anymore, the file has to be flashed instead with fastboot flash.
Again, make sure you use the correct boot otherwise it won't work and you may cause yourself a bigger headache.
