Hi,
I bought a faulty Nexus one from ebay, thought I can fix it, as I did buy a faulty desire from ebay and was able to fix it. This time im not so lucky I guess.
So here it is:
The phone is stuck at X when booting normally.
I can access HBoot (But not Hboot USB Plug, because USB debugging is not enabled) and Fastboot USB. I unlocked Hboot. Fastboot in PC recognizes the phone but ADB does not as usb debugging is not enabled.
The phone is not Rooted
Here are my ideas so far:
Get somehow debugging on with some commands (No luck from reshearching in google)
Reflash stock rom with PASSIMG.ZIP in sdcard, but my phone does not recognize the file from my sdcard (I'm pretty certain im doing something wrong or my idea is somehow wrong)
Flash new images through FASTBOOT, but every time Signature check fails (Shipped-roms.com).
Root with superboot, but signature check failed here too.
Flash a recovery, signature check fails.
I will reguraly update my tries
Please suggest correction to my ideas or suggest new ones!
Help will be much appreciated!
I admit it, the phone might be briked, but I want to make sure that I have tried everything before I abandon this project.
And ofcourse I have no Warranty.
What file are you using for passimg.zip? Make sure it's not a zip inside a zip.
What images are you using via the fastboot flash command?

You didn't unlock the bootloader, it seems - because if you did, it wouldn't be checking signatures, and you'd be able to flash anything.
First of thanks to both of you for helping.
I'm pretty sure that i do not have zip inside zip and I downloaded them from shipped roms.com -> android -> Passion-> PASSIMG_Google .... .ZIP, (Then renamed it ofcourse) Is there a difference what version of android i use?
The issue with this is, it checks the SD CARD and does not find anything. I have seen from google that the most common issue is that it starts to check the .zip file but then aborts. Does the SDCARD have to be a goldcard (I do have a goldcard but it might be faulty, right?)
I tried fastboot flash PASSIMG_Google.... .ZIP; Fastboot Flashall ( With having boot, recovery, system in my fastboot folder)
Maybe I should try to flash everything the .zip has in it seperately because that succeded for boot, system and recovery but I was too afraid to flash every partitation (Like Radio which seems to be the scariest and the most easiest way to brick phone)
For the third answer, I have ***UNLOCKED*** in bootloader in purple and top on the screen.
Once again thanks and keep suggesting!
Unpack the ZIP and flash each image separately.
Leave the radio as is, if it's updated enough (5.08 or 5.12). In any case, fastboot won't allow you to flash bad radio - and the risk of bricking the phone using fastboot is near 0.
For passimg.zip, you need to download the FRG33 shipped ROM from shipped-roms.com then EXTRACT the zip file that is inside the zip that you downloaded. Rename that file to passimg.zip
For fastboot, flash boot and system seperately.
When you boot the device normally, do you see the lock icon below the four colored x?
Sent from my Nexus One
Okay,
Did it one by one (PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_release_signed.zip):
Succeeded:
Boot, Recovery, System and Userdata (that was only 3Kb)
Failed with signature check (Remote:Signature check failed):
Splash1, spcustom,
Did not do:
Radio
I'm going to post more details:
When booting up, it displays the X normally with the unlocking badge on the bottom of the screen and vibrates once. Then it goes black for a second or even less, the same images comes on and then it vibrates 6-7 times.
now that you successfully flashed the stock recovery, cam you boot into it?
Sent from my Nexus One
Nope, it does that what I described on the previous post
Oh and what's more it randomly during no activity being in fastboot vibrates as well for 5 times or so. It does this rarely but it's there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710937
Thanks, Well thats it then for now, just have to figure out what to do now
Sounds like you need to get the PASSIMG.zip method to work, or unlock and flash a new recovery like amon ra, and flash a full rom with sig checks off.

Did you try all the solutions suggested above (passimg, fastboot flash, etc)? If yes then no I don't think so.
Hello everyone,
So, one day my tablet decided to get stuck on Fastboot 123 etc.
I followed a method that used the fastboot flash osloader efilinux.efi and fastboot boot droidboot.img and then sideloading the official firmware, that fixed it. Worked fine for awhile.
Now, I haven't been using the tablet much, so after like a month I try and see if it still works, turn it on, and it boots straight into UEFI where I can't do anything.
So, I went into DNX mode by holding down all the buttons, do the commands above again, and it boots into droidboot where I can select recovery, the problem is after I hit "OK" on recovery, when the device reboots it goes straight back into UEFI mode.
I've been reading for hours now and some people fixed it doing the above, but they can actually reach recovery, I can't.
Where do I go from here? What can I try?
Everything is stock btw, never rooted or unlocked bootloader.
Thanks
What exactly is "UEFI mode"? Do you mean the UEFI setup page? If you can get into Fastboot/Droidboot I'd suggest that you load a temporary TWRP recovery session using https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096 and then install the full system backup from http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/ME176C/UL-K013-WW-12.10.1.36-user.zip

Yes, the UEFI setup page where you can't do anything, looks like a windows bios.
Will try that, thank you.

It won't help much in this case, but FYI it is possible to navigate in the UEFI setup page but only if you have a powered USB OTG hub and attach an USB keyboard. You just can't navigate using touch controls.
no need for otg, its unnecessary.
Turn off the tablet, then press all the buttons at same time, it should boot to DnX mode.
Do fastboot flash osloader efilinux.efi (the .efi file should be inside the esp.zip that is present in .36 update
then do fastboot boot droidboot.img (found in .36 update)
then simply load temporary recovery session and flash stock rom.

Ok so I was going about Trying to flash TWRP it wouldnt go. Tried a few times etc, nothing, so i gave up.
Now when i reboot or turn off and power up, i get a N/A in the top corner for a few seconds but then it boots up fine. But i cannot do a backup & reset, and i cant get into recovery now.
I get a start up failed your devices didnt start up successfully use the software repair assiant on your computer,
bottom says ap fastboot flashmode secure
error: failed to load kernel
fastboot reason: fall-through from recovery boot mode
but i can toggle to Start and it boots fine.
Computer now does not see the phone when i plug it in, it dont make a sound and is not in the device manager, also when i reboot to fastboot, it still isnt seen at all. flashing_unlocked so i can flash. but cant use adb since pc wont reconize phone now, and i cant reset.
So i can use the phone like normal atleast, but cant reset or access recovery. its like it just inst there
any ideas???
Thanks
Ok so the computer don't even ding when ya plug the phone I to it. On any computer I use. Is there a corrupted file that the phone uses when connecting to a computer... ?
Phone works fine.. just recovery is missing.. and with no way use to use adb... Is there any way to get the recovery back on?

It would help to know what model your device is for one thing. Also, what command exactly did you use to flash the recovery? It almost sounds like you flashed the recovery to the wrong place or you did the erase command before trying to flash and borked the recovery partition.

You need to type in fastboot flash not fastboot boot. Boot will only "boot" the recovery but won't flash it onto your phone.

yep i know, first time i tried this, it would boot when i type boot. BUT when i tried to FLASH it, it wouldnt flash and stay.
Now i cant even boot TWRP, just hangs on the TWRP logo screen. I let it sit for 5 mins, before it ould only take a few seconds.
BUT i am using the one from the offical site, not the one on github thats only a zip file.
unless someone has the img file from github.
BUT STILL like i said i get that error you see in CMD screenshot.

First of all that error is normal. Second, the img is right there on the page I posted the link to. I even posted a screenshot of me downloading it from there. I don't see any reason why I could download the img and you can't. I give up.
OK, sorry didnt see the link. I downloaded that, i flashed it. IT worked. But now when i reboot it goes straight to recovery. But i reboot to bootloader and start that way, no big deal.
Never seen those errors before, but yea it worked now, must have been the wrong TWRP. Works now. THank you
But whats the default password in TWRP

Np. That's why we have a thanks button though. To fix your booting problem you can try connecting your phone to your PC and booting to the bootloader and run this command with fastboot:
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
That should do it.

Ok, try:
fastboot erase DDR
That should solve your booting problem. I knew it was one or the other. Ignore the twrp asking for password and click on the mount settings and you'll see a little check box that says "mount system read only". Uncheck that box
password fixed, i flashed the no verify and super, and it wiped my phone, is that normal, just wondering ,

If you flashed the force encrypt noverity zip yes. If you don't want enryption or want it to be optional to encrypt use the one that says opt encrypt. This is all gone over possibly hundreds of times in numerous threads. You should do a little searching and reading.

My bad. Often a .img file is zipped because .img gets treated as a picture.
And you can also extract .img files from flashable zip releases.
Didn't think you might have grabbed a source code zip.
Hi guys, i need some help pleeease!
I was with the November security patch on my cell phone, I unlock the bootloader and went to use the friend tool (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/mi-a2-toolkit-unlock-bootloader-root-t3834585) to activate the camera2api.
But it gave problem and the cell phone did not turn on, it was locked in the screen of android one.
So I downloaded the patched_boot.img from the version I was in and put it via fastboot. did not work.
Now, my phone is in this situation: I tried to use MiFlash (three versison: 2018528, 2017720 and 20151028) and they fail in the middle of the process, accusing "FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))".
And: when I try to connect the cell phone normally, it shows the unlocked bootloader warning and goes straight to the fastboot, even without my request. This is strange. Perhaps because the system is damaged by the miflash unfinished
Obs: bootloader are unlocked and i can access twrp
If anyone can help me I will be very grateful and happy
What exactly did the "tool" do? I mean if you don't know that, pretty difficult to diagnose what's wrong...

Hi.
The tool (her topic link is up there) promised to activate camera2api without root my device (allowing OTAs in the future).
I believe she did a "temporary root" with a "temporary" boot.img just to activate the camera2api, and when it rebooted, it would return to normal boot.img without root. I do not know if I could explain it well.
The current issue is that it seems that the system is currently "destroyed or corrupted". Can not I reinstall the entire system through TWRP? Or something like this
Like I said, you don't know what it actually did. What it promised is one thing, what it did... another
That's the problem with 'tools'.
Have you tried doing a factory reset? Hold Vol up and power until it gets to Recovery (hopefully), if you do a quick press of vol up, that gets past the 'no command'. Then use vol up and down for selection and press power when on 'factory reset'.
It might work

You are right, friend.. this is the problems with tools! I never use tools with my A1 and past phones.. just this time :crying:
I tried the factory reset now. And it did not work, unfortunately. On the first attempt (I was in fastboot mode) he showed a white circle with the writing "ERASING" and then went back to the screen of Android One, and then I tried again Vol Up + Power and he appeared "No command" , and after I rebooted and tried again, nothing appears, it just restarts to the static screen of "Android One"
Another ideas?

The only other thing I can think of would be to change the current slot. If that works you would be booted into the prior version of the OS vs the latest update you did.
In fastboot, do fastboot getvar current-slot
Depending on what that slot is, change it to the other one (can only be a or b)
thus fastboot set_active a (or b, whichever is not the current one)
then fastboot reboot - and hope it boots.

That's probably because you have an old version of fastboot installed. Upgrade to the newest version, which should recognize dual slots.
dual slots are quite new.

I've never used miflash, so no help there.
I'd try flashing the correct boot.img (for your software version). You can find the various boot images in the following link (don't forget to thank user ckpv5 for uploading these).
https://sourceforge.net/projects/others/files/Xiaomi_MiA2/
you would do fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
I'd suggest using b slot, as that was originally active. After flashing, set it back to active, try to reboot... then cross your fingers

No, I don't. But I can tell you, twrp is a recovery app. It shouldn't be in the boot slot. And, with dual slot configurations, there is no recovery partition. The other slot is now used to do a recovery.
In other words, the way we *used* to use twrp doesn't work on dual slot phones. I think that's a big part of the confusion people are having. While the boot images do have a small recovery part to them, it's not a separate partition.
If you're flashing boot.img, and setting that slot active, I've no idea how you're getting into twrp.
Since now your fastboot is working why don't you use miflash to flash official stock ROM
1. You need unlocked bootloader which you already have.
2. Run these command to unlock critical partition
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
3 . Download the official fastboot V9.6.14.0 ROM from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/ota-v9-6-5-0-odimife-t3823445
Or here
http://en.miui.com/getrom.php?r=353&m=yes&app=false
4. Install with miflash (you already know the how-to)
5. Once up & running, do OTA to latest
Later .. redo what you want to do like enable camera api2 with proper guide.

Hello.
I've tried using Miflash several times (3 different versions), but it never ends, it end up with an error every time that he will copy the file system.img to the mobile phone (I analyzed the log).
The miflash divides the file system.img into 5 or 6 smaller parts to be able to transfer to the mobile phone, and in some of these parts gives error, everytime :crying:

When I read your post here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78085858&postcount=188
"flashing is not allowed for critical partitions" usually due to critical partitions not unlocked. So .. if you already run "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" and you still have error using miflash .. nothing much I can offer to help. Hopefully you'll be able to fix it.

Hmm thanks for the answer!
Even when the operation fails after transfer a couple of archives before the system.img??? (on the Miflash)
If my phone was locked, Miflash could transfer these couple of archives before the operation fails?? Or if bootloader is locked, zero files can be passed by Miflash, and the error is apresented at the beginning of the operation?
Have you successfully unlocked critical partitions?
If yes, try to run flash_all.bat from the official stock image you downloaded. No need to use MiFlash.

well... When I just run flash_all.bat from the stock image folder, the .bat file will recognize that I am running it for the connected mobile?
how exactly should I run flash_all.bat? just double clicking it in stock image folder? or should I copy the .bat to /adb folder and open power shell prompt in adb folder and execute the .bat from there? sorry for my ignorance
Can you show me, please?

Before someone can explain that, why don't you answer the question asked .. in fact at least 3 people was asking/telling ...
"Have you successfully unlocked critical partitions?"
Without the proper answer from you, not easy to help.
I need help, I did some research but I couldn't find a solution to my problem.
I know that others have a problem with rebooting to recovery when unlocking, but my problem is different. My phone is just stuck in a loop into recovery mode and won't boot normally even in safemode.
I haven't tried wiping the data yet because I want to save my files. Do you have a solution for this?
I turned on USB debugging before this bootloop happened.

How exactly did you set up your custom recovery, and when exactly did it stop working? (has the recovery ever worked normally for you?)

I didn't do anything, I just charged my phone while it was turned off. Then I turned on the phone and the same thing happened as with others where when I unlocked it from the lock screen, the phone restarted and that's what happened.
Edit:
I saw this in another thread, we have the same problem.

Hello to everyone,
So basically i read all the 10 pages of this thread and I have not found someone that have the same problem as me. I have the “bootloop” but the thing is that my phone is not even turning on. It is just booting and going back to the recovery menu. So I choose the reboot option but still coming back to the menu. I have already turned on the debug usb option because I used to be using it before my phone dies. I have a Xiaomi MI10 Lite 5G. I also tried the MiAssisstant but no succes because device not detected.
If someone have a solution without wiping all my precious data pls ?

If you have your phone to automatically install updates, it might have done exactly that, and it borked. i.e. incomplete installation. There is no recovery partition on the spes so the boot image is potentially whacked. Try reflashing boot and dtmo and vbmeta images in Fastboot from your current ROM. That should get you back to where you were.

Sorry, I'm not really knowledgeable about this. Can you guide me or give me a link on how to do it? I don't have any experience in flashing through fastboot but earlier, I tried using ADB to check if my device is being recognized and I think it was recognized.
And also, I don't know which firmware to download or what is the current version of my phone because I only know the basic details of my device like this is Redmi Note 11 6/128 4G, I think this is the global version, and by the way, I'm from the Philippines.

Enter fastboot, check your phone is unlocked.
fastboot getvar unlocked (response will be unlocked: yes)
If you are global, then get the fastboot version from here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/spes/stable/V13.0.12.0.SGCMIXM/
This one is mine. Be careful you get the non-4g-in-the-name ROM for your 4g phone if yours is like mine:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 - Full phone specifications
www.gsmarena.com
Beware of the other one that has a Mediatek processor and has 4G in the name and is NOT my phone type: https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_note_11_4g-11241.php
If this one fails to get you booted at the end, drop back a version and try that one. Check your phone box to see what region version phone you bought.
Unpack it to a folder and get the images for boot, dtbo and vbmeta. Put these files into your adb/platorm-tools directory in Windows. (you will need the boot and vbmeta images later if you choose to install Magisk) Since you ran adb already, then you must already have adb installed.
Open command prompt as root, change to that platform-tools directory.
fastboot devices (to ensure Windows sees you)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Reboot system.
If this gets you booted, run Device Info HW app to see what version is actually installed, and look under About Phone as well.
EDIT: I corrected the 3 command lines above.

Sorry for the delayed reply.
It seems that my bootloader is still locked, so I cannot flash it using fastboot. Is that correct?
Is there a way to flash my device without losing my files? I really need to get my files

Then ignore my steps, since they won't work on a locked bootloader. I will defer to others who have clues regarding a locked bootloader and a down system.
You COULD try to unlock it, but that would definitely wipe all your data:
"Unlocking the bootloader will wipe all data"
Get the unlock tool and instructions here, if you so choose anyway:
Apply for permissions to unlock Mi devices
en.miui.com
NOTE: that gives you unlock version 6.5.224.28 but it might/should prompt you after install to install the updated version since mine is 6.5.406.31 from April of 2022. When you run it, it makes you wait a week.
NOTE 2: It does state this warning, however:
"First, confirm that your device can be unlocked
Your device functions normally and not in a bricked, soft-bricked, bootloop state."
