I tried to root this phone and it then wouldn't boot. Then I tried flashing stuff mainly using fastboot to get it to boot again. Nothing seems to be working or flashing properly. all kinds of different errors when flashing.
Sideloading an ots results in errors as well.
I don't think it's hard bricked cause fastboot works but the phone is not accepting anything.
Is there a proper method to flashing this phone ? Flashing back to stock that is.
I can install a custom rom but can't flash back to stock.
I've never ever had a problem flashing any other phone until this one. And why is Motorola so unfriendly ??

Windows 10 but I think my laptop is win7.
Yeah I tried that before I think. And that didn't take either.
If you have a Windows 7 pc, try RSD Lite and the firmware from link that i just posted

OP: scratch step2. this might help. post here after following instructions:
copy update.zip from here to your sd
disconnect your phone from pc, reboot to recovery
on the red ! screen, press vol+ & power button simultaneously
apply update.zip from the blue menu
if a yellow/orange menu pops up, you're most likely rooted already. you can then install any rom of choice from there or restore a backup. HTH
You cannot root your device while using FroYo. I'm surprised that you did not read the requirements for rooting the device. You must downgrade the firmware to 1.31 from 2.1 before you can root.

I believe the fake recovery will not work in a phone with a factory rom, I think the phone has to be rooted in order to lunch the fake recovery

this step is the second and final step in applying the batched files
after downloading the root folder for legend which is "r4-legend-root"
first step is: connect the phone with USB in HBoot and apply "step1-windows.bat"
Second step: connect the phone with USB while in recovery mode and apply "step2-windows.bat"
I think at step two there is a problem!!!! as shown in the picture above

Itried all what's in the forum, no thing works with me !!!!
could it be because of a driver problem or a damaged ADB tools!!!
Quick question were you in recovery for step 2?
Sent from my GT-I9100T using xda premium
From the screen capture. I suspect you do not have the driver installed correctly.
Edit: Ignore my comment above.
Since you have passed step 1, your driver works just find.
The next thing to look at is "You MUST have HTC Sync version 2.0.33 not a newer version for step2 to work".
Hi!
I used this tut:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-root-the-htc-legend/
I found the answer in the comments - but I can't find it no more. I had the same problems. then it worked.
Good luck!
Rooting issue @ batchfile #2
Hi guys
First of all.. I'm not sure if it's done to bump someone elses post like this. (if not: I'm sorry )
But I'm also stuck at step2 (after following this guide: wiki.rootzwiki.com/HTC_Legend)
this is what I get:
C:\r4-legend-root>step1-windows.bat

To do this, press the power button, wait a few seconds, then use the volume keys

My Details As Follows;
Ok So I'm editing this post since I have had help with the first part, and I didnt want to flood the forums with a bunch of "noob" posts's. But I am not going to guess or assume I know what I'm doing. Especially considering the abundance of resources and knowledge everyone one these forums has already been kind enough to share with me... Ok so one or two more questions...
My Current Status

version-bootloader: 1.57.0000

partition-layout: Generic
security: on
build-mode: SHIP
boot-mode: FASTBOOT
commitno-bootloader: dirty-1f512bb6
hbootpreupdate: 11
gencheckpt: 0
Ok so I'm understanding that the "Recovery" Tools/Interfaces and the MD5sum are important to understand. What exactly am I Checking with the MD5sum?? Is there anything SPECIFIC I need to know about that in comparison to my "GETVAR ALL" Details? How am I able to tell if one or another is going to be COMPATIBLE with my SPECIFIC phone, or not?? Why so Many different Choices?
Then Im understanding the the "ROM/RUU" and the "Firmware" is what I'm going to execute AFTER the ^^recovery tools^^.... So if I'm understanding this right, once again How am I able to tell if one or another is going to be COMPATIBLE with my SPECIFIC phone, or not?? Why so Many different Choices?
My Main Concern is, I Don't want to FLASH/OVERWRITE anything on my phone with something that May OR May Not be compatible... Also I want to just confirm that I'm understading the order of operations, and the difference between RECOVERY and BACKUP as compared to OS/FIRMWARE/ROM/RUU... Theres so many different versions of everything I could download.. How do I know if it's going to work with my phone specifics.. And am I understanding the ORDER of the "operations" that I am trying to execute.

Now my CPU wont recognize my phone, and my CMD Prompt wont locate it when I use ADB. Although when I'm in fastboot mode it does work but it doesnt function in any way. I can hear my CPU alert when I connect and disconnect my phone, but the drivers dont install properly and I cant see my phone in the Device Manager.
I got through the unlock process fairly easily but now I'm stuck. I have downloaded so many diff things too... Just haven't tried anything crazy because I dont want to guess.

I don't think you flashed the recovery what you flashed is the firmware for an older version of your firmware. And if you erased the cache after that then you don't have a recovery installed or it is corrupted.

Let's try this procedure to get you back up and running follow each step and when it is completed then move on to the next. :
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You need TWRP recovery on your device.
We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone any ways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didn't install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:

Ok I got the drivers and everything working. My phone now appears in the device manager and CMD prompt.
The TWRP is just a recovery interface right?
How do I "CHECK" the MD5... What am I checking/comparing it to? Also should I download the MD5sum aswell?
So after I get it and flash it to my phone (assuming everything works that easily.. lol)
I would still need to download a Firmware or a SuperSU?!
Or what exactly will happen once I have this TWRP Recovery Installed & flashed to my phone...?

This post explains MD5: http://www.droidviews.com/check-md5sum-of-a-file-on-windows-mac-and-linux/
Firmware should already be installed on your phone
You can download and install SuperSU to give you "root"
With the custom recovery install you can flash custom roms and themes
If anyone knows anything about something please tell me everything.
I'm Still Having Issues, Any Feedback or Input would be greatly appreciated. I need the specific versions that are compatible with my phone and the software thats currently not working on my device.
Thanks!:angel:

What are you trying to accomplish? Custom Rom? Custom Recovery? Root? Unlock Bootloader?
You have an AT&T phone with what I believe is the latest software, so what do you want to put on the phone or what do you want the phone to do that you can not do already?
What issues are you having that can be addressed?

I have the TWRP and It is unlocked, but it wont boot.. I see the HTC startup screen then after that it just turns black.. I just want it to work like an Android Phone, doesn't have to be custom, but I just want it to turn on and load up so I can place calls, use data, and message... I guess I need the android software? or what... ?!? I couldn't get the SuperSU to flash, but I'm not even sure if I need that... I dont believe I'm trying to "root"... I think I'm just trying to actually Have ANY OPERATING SYSTEM?? It's confusing and wearing me out already.. Lol
Thanks So Much For Your Time! :good::good:

Flash stock recovery for ota upadte problem.

Many people are joining xda on daily basis. Some of them join the forum to get custom ROMs while some join in order to get some of their problem that they are facing with their phones solved.
There are dedicated threads for ROMs but what about HELP/QUESTIONS??
People generally straight away start a new thread to get their doubts solved. But this can lead to chaos in the forum.
I'm creating this thread as an alternative to *New Threads* that aim to resolve a question.
Not only this, this thread can also become a Database kind of place where people can look if their question is already solved or not...
I request all members of the MOTO E 2015 sub-forum to help and answer some questions posted here if they can.

I have the xt1511 but it's GSM (I am using a sim card.) I rooted it not knowing a lot of things like nandroid backups existed and were a good idea.
There is a system ota update for it. After a lot of searching I found that I need the stock recovery for that upadte to work. I searched and found this,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/orig-development/recovery-stock-recovery-5-0-2-t3123084
I assumed it would work because mine is GSM not CMDA. I renamed the stoc recovery image to stock.img because I want to use this,
http://www.xda-developers.com/simple-recovery-switcher/
I am following the root guide to use ADB to flash the recovery image and am getting an error.
"<bootloader> Image size exceeded partition limits
<bootloader> Preflash validation failed

Any idea as to how I can fix this. Here is a video showing exactly what I am doing. https://youtu.be/2BjRnLsddRU

@vivekanand149 Dude, why the heck are you trying to flash a Moto G 2nd gen ROM onto your phone?!
If you're using an XT1521 (the Indian 4G model), use this ROM: http://www.filefactory.com/file/1ve...XI22.50-53.1_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
Otherwise, find your model number here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/752fdb49361c7f62/?sort=filename&order=ASC&show=100&page=1
You need to use the same ROM as your phone's model number!
Also when flashing you need to use MFASTBOOT NOT FASTBOOT.

Which rom version does Indian MotoE2 uses? How do I know that?
I'll download that bro.
mfastboot NOT fastboot.
Notice the 'm' in the command.
Motorola stock firmware files have multiple sparsechunk pieces (i.e. img.spareschunk.0,1,2,3), fastboot doesn't allow proper flashing of each of the pieces but Mfastboot does.
Google the command...easy to obtain.

4. UNAVAILABLE
sth went wrong with the unlocking .. for now u have to get the BL status to 'unlocked' (I dont know how)
when this is done, the rooting procedure has to be redone and should work then.

Hi XDA...
Another note, remember to remove the 0x on the bootloader code when creating ulcode file, I proceeded with it in place and it gave me "Rooting Status: Unavailable"
It has been pointed out on this thread how to recover, but if someone runs into this problem: you have plug in the phone again in flash mode (vol down then plug in), click BLU, when relock wizard appears, go back to ulcode file and edit the 0x out, then relock, then unlock again (hope this helps someone new to xperia world like me )

1.
I unlocked the bootloader following the Russians tutorial at http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/22665-lenovo-phab-2-pro-razblokirovka-bootloader-by-sevenmaxs/
YOU DO NOT NEED TO DISABLE SECURE BOOT, only do the step in that tutorial about how to unlock the bootloader.
Google translate does a good enough job with that page, ask here if stuck.
See post below for English translation on how to unlock the Bootloader.

After unlocking bootloader you can load TWRP without actually installing it with fastboot, see https://forum.fairphone.com/t/howto-use-twrp-without-flashing-it-e-g-for-backup/23747
Get TWRP https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4WxcwjxK2VnZ0tWSl9wUTVoaTg
When you are in this temporary recovery you need to wipe data, this REMOVES ENCRYPTION! yay! :good:
(DO NOT REBOOT! Rebooting would just generate a new encryption key and you would have to repeat this step.)
Then in the same recovery you will be able to mount internal storage, put the SuperSU.zip file on your device and flash it in TWRP.
Congratulations, you are rooted!
3.
To install then TWRP permanently just usual fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
You are done! :highfive:
Get QPST Flash tool, install the Lenovo and Qualcomm USB drives that come with it aswell.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4WxcwjxK2VnM2pvRDk0VzZLVWs
Download the PB2-690M unlock attachmet from this post and unpack it to the root of your drive, aka directly in C:\PB2-690M unlock
Connect your phone by USB, make sure USB debugging is on and your pc is authorised.
Now run the QFIL tool from step 1, in the upper left corner select flat build
In the Select Programmer line, click on the Browse button and specify the path to the unpacked file \ PB2-690M_unlock_7M \ img \ prog_emmc_firehose_8976.mbn
Click on the Load XML button and select rawprogram0.xml first, and then patch0.xml
Run Reboot_QDLoader.bat .
In Windows device manager you should see a device "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" under COM Ports if all is good.
In QFIL click "Download" to execute, should say Download Suceed, Finish Download if it all went well.
Now disconnect the USB cable, power on the device (might have to hold power for a bit) and re enable USB debugging and allow OEM Unlock if needed.
Connect cable again, allow your PC for USB debugging on the device, and run Unlock_Bootloader.bat
The device should reboot to bootloader, and then reboot again to a screen with the Android robot, THIS WIPES YOUR DATA!
That's it, you have unlocked your bootloader! Congratulations!
Yes. Good job.
Mhhh... If something goes wrong, how can we restore the stock firmware? I can't found the last version.
Lenovo often disable the server of ota (i saw that on lenovo's forum).
Maybe a guide for restore can be useful too.
Anyway thank you very much.

I will translate the russian tutorial and add a more step by step guide as soon as I have time, this for now should let advanced users do their thing.

Pardon. Is it actual?
Can someone who didn't unlock the bootloader yet try step 2? Can you fastboot boot twrp.img with locked bootloader?
I'm really curious

I assume because of "(bootloader) secure:yes" that my bootloader is locked.
Tried to boot "twrp-lenovo-tango.img" from your post#1 section 2
Code:
C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads>PB2-690M_unlock_7M\tools\fastboot.exe boot twrp-lenovo-tango.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.563s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.563s
So i guess bootloader unlock is inevitable.

edit:
after reviewing all steps i've found the solution for my QFIL error.
In the russian thread is an older version linked:
QPST_&_Drivers.7z
contains QFIL 2.0.0.4 not 2.0.0.5 like on the provided screenshots.
Now i'm stuck at the same step like "pancx 0" from post #6 in the russian thread. :/
i finally got my bootloader unlocked and magisk installed after hours of studying lenovo-forums.ru
this is what i did:
switch from a Windows 2016 Server Workstation to a fresh installed Win 7 x64 on another PC
driver install order:
- phone factory reset
- enable usb debugging
- LenovoUsbDriver_autorun_1.1.33_user.exe from the emulated CD-Drive of the Phab2Pro
- installed newest QPST.2.7.460.zip
EFS Backup described here:

this seems to fix my error "System cannot find the file specified"
with patched boot partition works the command "fastboot oem device-info" (works now even on my other workstation without changing anything)

after that it is possible to boot TWRP Recovery img without flashing it "fastboot boot twrp-lenovo-tango.img" like described in your link - no problems.
and so on ...

You who? I have the 690m

Get QPST Flash tool, install the Lenovo and Qualcomm USB drives that come with it aswell.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4WxcwjxK2VnM2pvRDk0VzZLVWs
Download the PB2-690M unlock attachmet from this post and unpack it to the root of your drive, aka directly in C:\PB2-690M unlock
Connect your phone by USB, make sure USB debugging is on and your pc is authorised.
Now run the QFIL tool from step 1, in the upper left corner select flat build
In the Select Programmer line, click on the Browse button and specify the path to the unpacked file \ PB2-690M_unlock_7M \ img \ prog_emmc_firehose_8976.mbn
Click on the Load XML button and select rawprogram0.xml first, and then patch0.xml
Run Reboot_QDLoader.bat .
In Windows device manager you should see a device "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" under COM Ports if all is good.
In QFIL click "Download" to execute, should say Download Suceed, Finish Download if it all went well.
Now disconnect the USB cable, power on the device (might have to hold power for a bit) and re enable USB debugging and allow OEM Unlock if needed.
Connect cable again, allow your PC for USB debugging on the device, and run Unlock_Bootloader.bat
The device should reboot to bootloader, and then reboot again to a screen with the Android robot, THIS WIPES YOUR DATA!
That's it, you have unlocked your bootloader! Congratulations!

I think I am getting lost somewhere during line 10. My phone reboots and (I assume is in it's fastboot mode) I can do fastboot commands at the screen, it DOES NOT make it to the android robot screen. I let it set for a few minutes and nothing happens. It just stays on the Lenovo boot screen.
I did manage to do this and get it to say OK instead of FAILED. I did fastboot flash recovery instead of fastboot boot.
Thank you for your time.
Is support for exfat file system in this twrp?
I tried to backup to my exfat flash drive, but flash drive is unvisible.
Is support for exfat file system in this twrp?
finally! after 3 years with Galaxy Note 3,i got phab 2 pro and successfully rooted,i try to root it from yesterday..today i did it!
hello guys.
1. could someone create a new topic with clear steps and software needed for the bootloader unlock and root of our device?
2. are there any custom roms available for our device? audio lag in videos and some other staff are pretty annoying!!!
@Exelios: it would be much more user friendly if bootloader unlocking, rooting and installing twrp were in seperate topics so users with specific problems could find more direct help. just a suggestion
I finally got TWRP on the 690Y. After following the instructions in post #2, you'll need to do this. After doing the Windows-specific stuff, I rebooted back to Ubuntu, and installed the android-tools-adb and fastboot packages:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(wait a few seconds)
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
fastboot reboot
Note: the above commands might wipe your system and reboot again, in which case you have to go through the Lenovo setup, enable dev mode, enable USB debugging, etc all over again. I'm not sure that fastboot flashing unlock_critical is necessary.
After the reboot:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(wait a few seconds)
fastboot flash recovery twrp-lenovo-tango.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp-lenovo-tango.img
(I don't know if doing it twice actually matters)
Hold down power until it turns off
Contrary to the above posts, the correct combo to get into TWRP is Volume Up-Power. Once the phone vibrates, you can let go of Power, but keep holding Volume Up until the TWRP screen appears. Also, the very first thing you should do is hit the Select Language button and choose English, otherwise you're going to have a bad time!
Well, I was not smart and didn't back up first, but I got lucky. Thought I'd bricked it, but the problem was SuperSU. I got the "latest" from the internet, but that one is old. You must use this one: UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79.zip
