OTA Update = Fastboot only. :-( - Kyocera Zio M6000

The OTA update to Froyo seems to have bricked my (Sprint) Sanyo Zio.
I can only get to fastboot - no regular boot whatsoever.
Factory reset does not help. "Modem Download Mode" does not help.
I'm thinking that, from fastboot, I can just re-flash the original image, right?
Does anyone have this image?

We'll that depends on which image is borked really.
I think you'd be better off taking your phone into sprint and having them fix it.
I'd send you my cricket images, but I'm sure they will not work without major problems.

Sadness
Well, my carrier is actually Credo Mobile, not Sprint, although they use Sprint hardware and network connections.
I called them and it didn't seem promising. They are supposed to call me back tomorrow - on what phone I'm not sure.
I'm still really hoping that somebody here has the image files for me to flash. I can't believe they aren't provided by the manufacturer or the carrier or somebody.

You might be out of luck. If you know anything about how to use Modem Download Mode. I'm sure you could switch to CricKet and they could do the flash in store.

Modem Download Mode does nothing on Credo / Sprint
I tried Modem download mode. The progress bar makes its way up to 100, then the phone reboots with the same problem.
My assumption is that this mode just doesn't do anything on Sprint.

If you're trying to use a cricket rom on a sprint phone it won't work m8.
I've tried to use sprint's old 2.1 images on my cricket phone to no avail

There is a sprint zio forum here at xda and perhaps there is a dumped 2.1 stock rom available or you could Google for one.
I'm quite sure that there are tools available on the net to reflash to 2.1.

Sprint forum?
I can't seem to find the sprint forum or the image file, google as I may.
Can you throw me a link to the sprint forum?

Thanks! can I manually push the system.img file through fastboot? My phone turns on and boots up but everything is blank with a dim light.

You should be able to yes, but to avoid system errors I would use cwm to restore.
Just unzip the file to "/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/" and choose restore from cwm.

I updated the phone with the 2.000CR.5_HW0104.msi utility but it still stuck at the Kyocera screen.
I got it back up and running. I used clockwork from your other thread and wiped everything and the phone booted up. Thanks a lot.

Just so you know that Microsoft updater is for cricket only. M6000 not SCP-860

[MOD] Telstra 1.4.2 Radio N_01.87.00R

Hi,
I have managed to keep my Bell firmware by updating just the radio, just edited the Telstra sbf to remove all code blocks but RDl1, RDl3, and Cg5.

Nothing changed on my phone except the radio.
I don't see why it wouldn't work on ATT, and you can probably do the same thing to revert back to your old radio. Just run desbf.exe, it has been used for ages for monster packs, etc.

Does the wifi still work. I asked because I flashed the Telstra SBF after making a recovery backup of my Bell system. When I restored to my bell I retained the uncapped upload speeds but then started getting "error" when trying to turn on my wifi.
Screw it. Flashing now! It's going....
Will report after!
I didn't see that error. I did the steps in the SBF thread, a few differences. I did it from the usual phone screen, not RSD mode. Also, mine came up se olympus
not ns olympus, when I did try RSD mode, but it didn't work. I had the most recent motor drivers, then reverted to the ones in that thread. I was trying to get just the cg5 file flashed but needed the rdl files as well. What the minimum steps are I am not sure.

Not sure how you restored your phone to bell, there is no sbf file from bell. Likely, you have a hybrid of the two firmware causing that issue.

If you have a back up from when you first rooted it should give you the stock boot.img. Then flash the stock rom found in the dev section. Then using revotoolkit.apk reinstall stock recovery. Then gingerbreak to unroot. Then update to zv6 from the about phone area and you should be good to go.

My recommendation would be to flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129117
If it gives you the option to update, perhaps you should try that, and it may unroot your phone.
As far as CWM, I doubt the clerks are going to play with recovery... (that's not a guarantee, however).
If you are really desperate and scared, you should use the VZW tool for reflashing the phone, but I AM NOT RECOMMENDING IT. The tool has been known to do bad things to phones that need expert help to undo if not done properly (not only that, it's a pain in the arse).
Can I flash the boot image from that nandroid?
I was going to use the tool to run the downgrade again but I keep getting errors that I was not getting when I first rooted the phone. Mostly .msi installer package errors when selecting the .tot file.
If its in there it should be fine. If not i can make a zip of the stock boot.img when i get home but it will be about 7 central time.

I don't think the boot image was included with the earlier ROMs. I *probably* have a few boot images from when I was working with Cubed on CWR, but I don't know which is which, and some of those actually can cause bricks. Boot image was p8? I don't even remember now.
As far as selecting the .tot file, it requires the support files... They come with the LGNPST Store & Lab... they would look like:
LGNPST_GenericModels_Ver_3_0_17_0.msi
I'm not positive which one is the right one as it's been a long time. Sorry this is vague, but I went through the process once, and then never again.
The person whose phone we recovered through this method had an issue after the flash where everything looked kosher, but the data would no longer work (no 3g, 4g, etc), and required Cubed's intervention to repair. So I haven't touched it since.

Clockwork Mod HTC Vivid the same as Holiday?

So this is just a question as I was browsing through the rom manager program I noticed the HTC Holiday is now listed in their devices.
As I have been researching this phone I believe the phone was referred to as the HTC Holiday
Basically my question is, Is this the device to select or is it referring to an OEM or pre release handset or is it the same as the AT&T Vivid.
I hope that made sense, if not please let me know and I will do my best to make my question more clear.

I believe it is added as of today, I personally have loved rom manager though I understand your reasons for not liking it. I just want to confirm it is comparable with the AT&T device before putting it on and flashing what ever version of clockwork recovery it has to offer.... (I bought my phone at an early upgrade price so $350 makes me quite a bit cautious with it....)

It's working for me
I have the Vivid and downloaded Rom Manager on a whim. Saw the Holiday, selected it. Tried to backup the Att rom, failed - needed cwm installed. Chose option to let RM flash CWM. The version it put on caused RM to puke when attempting to backup. Flashed CWM v5.0.2.7 from PC. Rebooted and mysteriously lost root. Had to pull the battery a few times during all this.
Rerooted using HTCSupertool, and RM has worked just fine since.
So some flakes, but when ironed out seems OK.
I did a nand backup and a restore just to be sure I could get back and both operations completed without error.
Waiting to get full charge on the phone then will flash first custom rom.

[Q] Sprint Flex stuck on Fastboot.

HI ALL,
I have successfully rooted my HTC and Samsung devices before but I am very new to LG phones.
I did root with ioroot22 (worked perfectly).
Then I attempted to install CWM with flashify app.
But in the process I flashed CWM incorrectly (I think)
When I boot phone I am just stuck in fastboot black screen.
Am I screwed? Seems like Sprint TOT or KDZ files are not available yet.
Anyone know what I can do to get phone working again. Any help is very much appreciated
Please note I can get into CWM when I press - & power but can't really do anything beyond that.

Updating to 5.1 from 5.0.1

Hey guys I have a Moto bought Nexus 6, running on T-Mobile network Sim card and all. Currently the 6 is on 5.0.1 and has been asking me to bump up to 5.1. My phone is stock and rooted. As we all know I can't use the OTA as a result.
I'm here bugging you all because I know there are different builds for the Nexus 6, and they seem carrier specific. So I went and hunted down an M build which supposedly is for Tmo, as we have some specific tweaking.
I downloaded the LMY47M build and I am currently on the LRX22C 5.0.1 build. What I would like to know is it okay for me to go into TWRP and flash the download? Like the way a person would flash a nightly of CM? Is it the same process? If not what do I gotta do?
(On a bus ride so would be nice to have it update while I'm still riding)

Very likely it's the same but I can't say for sure.,. So where does that leave me in terms of options?

I don't know much about this "M" build and what version it is supposed to flash from. What I do know is there is no full factory image available.
Of everything else is stock on your phone (Including radio) I think the best action would be:
- download the factory image for the version you are on now.
- extract it and fastboot flash the stock recovery and system.img
- do NOT lock your bootloader
Then you should be able to accept the ota or side load it from stock recovery.
Mmm will try this when I get home thanks! Will be back to update Folks!
Also, will flashing the stock image and recovery wipe any of my data?

Not if you extract it an flash only the system.img
Its flashing the userdata image that wipes data
Yes. I would like to know how to do this also. Is there a difference in flashing the D or E version of 5.1 and then flashing a custom ROM that is built from T-Mobile's update?
Or is there carrier specifics in the different Factory Images?
downloading the img right now, when i get back I will make a little step by step for anyone else curious

In my mind in its the radio. you want the radio that comes with the T Mobile version. (if you are on t-mobile obviously) what you flash on top of it for system doesn't matter as long as it supports the radio and is version 5 .1. And as long as what you're flashing doesn't include the radio you are good to go.
So for me as long as I keep the E radio for Verizon I can flash D through M it kind of doesn't matter.

Thanks for your replies here. I'm in the same boat as the OP, and have one follow-up question to this thread, if you or anyone could answer --
After doing the steps you mentioned previously -- specifically sideloading/accepting the OTA update, will the bootloader remain unlocked? I'd like to re-root afterwards and keep the user data, though I was under the impression it would actually re-lock the bootloader.
Thanks for any info!

Yes, your bootloader will remain unlocked.

Hey guys I have a Moto bought Nexus 6, running on T-Mobile network Sim card and all. Currently the 6 is on 5.0.1 and has been asking me to bump up to 5.1. My phone is stock and rooted. As we all know I can't use the OTA as a result.

Did you ever get this going? I know I procrastinated a bit due to the "unknowns", but finally made it happen (bug off, TMo "5.1 Available" notification!). I ran into a lot of oddities between my phone and computer (running Windows 7) like the phone being an unrecognized device when working with adb sideloads... I ultimately opened the Device Manager and forced the composite ADB driver through for each instance. For me, the rough flow was, starting out with stock but unlocked and rooted,
* flashed stock LRX22C system and recovery images
* used adb to sideload the T-Mobile LMY47M official update
* flashed TWRP
* used adb to sideload SuperSU
* and of course, cleared the dalvik/cache and rebooted
All data in-tact, and my LEDs are still functional (the LEDs are actually the key reason I have it rooted right now... it's insanely stupid that Google blocks these built-in LEDs from being used by those that want them!).
Anyways, if you run into any of those issues, happy to help!

Thank you...exactly what I needed to know!
Ah yeah I did actually, and I like you, had problems getting the phone recognized with the ADB, also windows 7, which prevented me from slide loading like I wanted to, but nevertheless got all the updates pushed through thnx though!
