Help: Stuck in teamwin loop! - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had a perfectly working rooted Nexus 6 with twrp recovery. There was, a screen defect, and I was about to send it to Motorola under warranty., and needed to reset to factory. I guess I did this in the wrong order.
First, I did a "fastboot oem lock" which worked (too well)
Then I went into recovery (twrp) and used factory reset, which failed.
When I try and reboot the system, I get into a blinking teamwin screen.
The USB connection still works, andI can get to fastboot bootloader, , but can no longer oem unlock , "Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.".
All the bootloader options, recovery, factory, bp tools all go to the flashing teamwin.
Is there any way to recover from this? Help!

since you still have twrp installed, you might have a chance. but your one and only option would be to fastboot format userdata and cache.

>since you still have twrp installed, you might have a chance. but your one and only option would be to fastboot format userdata and cache.
I suppose twrp is still installed, if thats what gives the teamwin loop. I can't actually get into twrp.
Would I be issuing two separate fastboot formats, or can I specify both userdata and cache on the same fastboot format.
If this actually worked, is the expectation that I could boot the system?

yes. if you didnt have twrp installed, then id say you have a 0% chance. with twrp being installed, your chances went up dramatically, like a 50-50 chance.

Hint...
TeamWinRecoveryProject TWRP
Formats should fix that
Then youncan flash.a.rom.and.enable oem.unlock

Protip. Never lock the bootloader until you are back to complete stock. Basically, you don't start with it. You end with it.

Ok, I hate to act needy but I'm afraid of screwing this up beyond hope.
I assume that I first do
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
Then what? Reboot?
If so what would I expect to see, Lolipop or twrp, or something else?
If its not Lollipop I guess I need to load a rom. Until now the only rom's I've loaded
are the factory firmware with "flash-all". But that needs oem unlock which I can't do.

after, try booting up or try booting into twrp and see if you can load a rom, gapps, and supersu. if you dont have gapps or supersu, youll be fine this time. most importantly would be booting up and enabling oem unlocking in dev options.

Well I did the formats, and then a reboot. This time it boots into rotating colored balls
which seemed hopeful However, its been a half an hour now and they are still rotating.
I know this can go for a while, and am hesitant to interrupt it. but this seems ominous.
As far as the formats, here is the output

Boot to TWRP. Download a ROM from development forums to your PC. Connect your nexus to PC while it's booted to TWRP. You should see the nexus internal storage show up on your PC. Drag and drop or copy and paste the ROM from PC to internal storage. Flash ROM with TWRP. Boot up, skip all set up, enable developer options and then boot to bootloader and fastboot OEM unlock.

To make a long story short: SUCCESS!
The longer story was that there were complications.
-- Filemanager came up with an empty "SHAMU' that it couldn't write to
- I used adb push to get a rom image over to the rootfs
- the install had trouble with the data partition. I had to format
- turned out the rootfs partition was a bad place for the rom image, had to move it to /data
- install of rom from twrp finally worked
- using the new rom to enable oem unlocking worked
- flash-all of factory image failed. Had to individually flashboot flash piece by piece for some reason.
Finally: SUCCESS. Thanks for all you help!!

You certainly made a mountain out of a mole hill here.
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata - this should fix TWRP like I said on page 1.
Boot into TWRP and tick the box "enable mtp" then copy a rom to from your computer using windows explorer like you would if it was booted to android.
Why would you put data on rootfs?
Important lesson, if you're going to be rooted, know your phone

How to flash original rom without CWR

I messed up my tab after I rooted it and used an app that lowers the DPI setting. Now I can't see anything after I restart my tablet. It's just a black screen. I can hold down power and the down button to get to the screen where the android is showing it's guts and can choose between Recovery and Power off.... but not clock work recovery. I tried pressing the up button as it powers on but nothing. It was rooted using the on click root option which was also supposed to install CWR but it's not working. Can anyone explain how to flash the original rom back to the device without using CWR just using the PC?
Thanks.
i'm very noob at this but i thought there was somehing with ADB?
download & install the android SDK from google, developer.android.com/sdk/index.html, & follow their instructions to configure it
download the stock ROM from google, developers.google.com/android/nexus/images, and follow the instructions
pretty straight forward, done it twice already

I've downloaded the SDK and the rom file and have extracted it.
It says to run the ./flash-all.sh script. But it's not associated with any programs. I assume that I load this file into the SDK?
I think flashing the entire image might be overkill. You (or the app, I guess) presumably only messed with the build.prop, right? If so, should only have to find and reflash a working build.prop.
Warning: the above is noob advice. I'm just guessing here.

Thanks. But I think my problem is bigger than that. I can't see the tablet on my computer anymore. After the Google logo with the unlocked sign on the bottom goes away, I assume this is the point where I'm supposed to see the Nexus logo. It doesn't get that far. When I tried to connect it to the USB on the computer, I hear a connection signal but the tablet never pops up in Windows. I was only able to get to the CWR screen once. Don't know how I did it but when I tried to select Wipe Data/Factory Reset, it just shows me an icon of a top hat and a circle underneath it. Pressing the power button just brought me back to the CWR screen and any other choice will give me the top hat screen. I haven't been able to get back to CWR screen again. I can get to the main screen where I can select start/restart bootloader/recovery but selecting recovery doesn't get me back into the CWR screen.

Yeah.
Protip: Backup Build.prop before messing with it.
If you would have just backed it up you could have done a simple adb push.

I didn't do that. That's probably why I get the top hat when I tried to do a factory wipe from CWR
At this point I think it's not going to be able to connect to the computer. I'll exchange it for another one and not use that app!
If you're willing, give this a go.....
You'll need to copy flash-all.sh, bootloader-grouper-3.34.img and image-nakasi-jrn84d.zip files to the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\" folder - thats if the sdk installed to the same place as mine.
Start a command prompt and change directory to the platform-tools folder.
Check that the tablet is accessible by doing a "fastboot devices" - it should display a hex string - if you don't get this then you'll be beyond my help......
The flash-all.sh file is the unix equivalent of a ".bat" file, all you need to do is rename it to "flash-all.bat" and then run it from the commnd prompt.

Thanks for all your help but the computer does not recognize any usb device connected. I've returned it and waiting on another one to come in. I sure as hell won't be messing around with dpi settings anymore!

Okay, for one, LCD modder has been known not to work with the N7, use ROM toolbox or manually edit the prop yourself.
Two, do you possibly have the phone plugged into a USB 3.0 port? ADB and the drivers do not like USB 3.0 ports. Is there also possibly a driver or something that is not installed? Look at the link I posted on the first page.

All drivers were installed initially when I ran the One click Root procedure. I did have it plugged into a USB 3.0 port at home but at work I only have 2.0 ports. None of them recognized the device other than showing that a USB device was connected. It has trouble finding the MTP driver.... after I had modded the dpi setting.

[Q][Solved] Cannot update to 4.2 - assert failed: apply_patch_check...

Hi,
I tried to update to Android 4.2 (from 4.1.2) today, but it failed at the stock recovery saying:
[..]
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Books.apk", ........

Using Titanium Backup I used to make Google Books a Userland application and uninstalled it a while ago, because I wanted to remove some bloatware. I installed the backup I had and made it a system-application again, but its still giving me that error. Even factory reset didnt help.
What options do I have? How can I flash the full image?
Kind regards
Alex
Nevermind, I found the factory image at
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasijop40c
Downloaded it, did a titanium backup, flashed image via flash-all.bat, restored root, restored backup and 4.2 with root is all up and running now.
Same problem with apply_patch_check error bij update.
Also try to flash full factory image 4.2 by fastboot.
After install and reboot, Google icon in screen, doesn't startup.
That 5x but no success.
Same install with factory image 4.1.2 and no problem.
Help!
---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------
Hello Alex,
You said, flashed bij Flash-all.bat.
How does that work? You may have a brief description of how you do it?
Thank you!
In the .zip you downloaded, there is a file called flash-all.bat. For example it does this for the WiFi version:
PATH=%PATH%;"%SYSTEMROOT%\System32"
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.13.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 >nul
fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jop40c.zip
echo Press any key to exit...
pause >nul
exit
Check your version an run it in platform-tools with all content beeing there of course. Its quite easy
You sense about PATH I do not understand.
The rest I have indeed done in cmd
I have indeed PlatformTools and I have all five files in that folder.
Same folder where adb.exe also capable.
I've done in cmd in the platformtools path:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.13.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jop40c.zip
Then start the nexus7 but remains on the startup screen on the google logo.
Am I forgetting something?
whats the output of the fastboot commands from above?
I have the same problem but with GooglePinyinime.apk.
Have just worked out how to sideload using adb and am getting stuck on this error.
I did freeze this app using titanium pro, then unfroze it when I upgraded to 4.1.2 ota successfully, so can't understand why its pulling up an error now?
Am a bit of a noob with these commands so would be very grateful for any help.
Am on stock rom, rooted and no custom recovery.
Thanks.

Do you have fastboot installed on your computer? I am not in front of my development computer so I can't give you specific details but I had a several modifications to /system so I didn't bother trying to reverse them and instead flashed the original 4.1.2 system.img.
The (rough) procedure for this is:
1. Backup your current 4.1.2 rom in case you can't live with 4.2
2. Plug the nexus into your computer and boot into the bootloader (up vol + down vol + power)
3. On your computer, download the 4.1.2 factory image from https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/nakasi-jzo54k-factory-973f190e.tgz
4. Unzip the image and then unzip the zip file that was inside the image (I can't remember the name but I believe there is only one)
5. If you unzipped everything correctly you should have a system.img file, open a command window and navigate to the directory that contains the system.img file and type:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
Sorry I don't have the specific details. If no one else has filled in the missing file names by the time I get home and you are comfortable with this procedure I will update this with the proper names.

Nexus root toolkit works
Nexus root toolkit works like a champ for restoring stock if you need it.
Works flawlessly in windows 7 for me.

The real issue with the the assert errors is that you changed something you should not have. The 4.2 update hash checks the original system apps for consistency. If you changed any of the System apps outside of an official update you get the assert errors when trying to flash the new update.
Have the same problem...

assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Books.apk", ........
Installation aborted.
Anyone manage ti fix it without restoring original rom would be nice....

Hi Alex,
Did flashed factory image returned our Nexus like a new phone or just restoring system files? I want to flash factory image but afraid if it's like a factory reset

Its like a full factory reset, everything is gone (also the /sdcard folder with the downloads and stuff). Restoring was pretty easy, I copied the /sdcard stuff via USB to my computer and used titanium backup to backup the apps with settings (and copied that too to my computer). The only thing I had to setup again was WiFi, Homescreen and Email (although you can backup them via Titanium, which I didnt).

[Q] Managed to delete everything, "could not detect filesystem" so can't flash anythi
Hi there!
So, being an idiot, I managed to wipe my phone completely whilst attempting to upgrade my firmware.
Now, I can't flash anything, as when I try to do so I get the following text...
Code:
Flashing AICP System files...
could not detect filesystem for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.
1/by-name/system, assuming ext4 mount: failed to mount /dev/
block/platform/msm_sdcc. 1/by-name/system at system:
no such volume
script succeeded: result was [0.200000]
Updating partition details...
Can't check permissions
after Factory Reset
Please boot rom and try
again after you reboot into
recovery.
Done
Unfortunately, when I then reboot, I don't have an OS so it just sits at the HTC logo.
After a lot of effort, I did manage to get a rom onto my internal memory, but as shown above, it just won't let me flash it
Any ideas what is wrong and how it can be fixed?
EDIT1: Additional information:
Code:
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.55.0000
RADIO-4A.21.3263.04
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-
eMMC-boot 2048Mb
EDIT2: Tried sideloading, this didn't work either
EDIT3: Using CWM recovery instead of TWRP seems to have worked
?
How did you manage to erase it like that? 0_o
Tried
fastboot format system
?
After format, try flashing a ROM.

I'm not entirely sure how I managed this.
When trying fastboot format system I got the following

I think I read another post with a similar problem, earlier today in this forum. If you look around the Q&A forum, you should be able to find it.

Looks like you are simply not using the right recovery version for the rom you want to flash. Roms that need "by-name" partitions mounting (lie all Cyanogenmod based roms) requires twrp 2.7.1.1+ or CWM 6.0.4.8+.

That's odd, I'm using the most up to date version of TWRP, downloaded and flashed with fastboot this evening :/
EDIT: Changed to CWM recovery and tried flashing, seems to have been successful. Hooray!

Error while flashing Mi A2 in EDL mode

Sorry, my English very bad. I have Mi A2 with bootloop. Bootloader locked. I tried to flash three different firmwares using MiFlash, but was getting one error. it 1st image.
Later it seems I changed my MiFlash version and got another error, this is the second image. What do these errors mean?

Don't know what that means but 'ack' should refer to "android common kernels".
I found a few videos searching for "Android Ack count don't match". Maybe you could try their solutions / methods.

I saw it, there Indians install the beta version of MiFlash and everything is fine. But the beta version does not work for me, it does not see the file "flash_all.bat"

Maybe try an older (beta) version. It could be a problem in the current release which didn't occur in prior releases.
I have the same problem with a brand new Mi A2
Stuck at the androidone bootlogo.
Entering fastboot works without problems.
Flashing results in this error: FAILED (remote: 'Error flashing partition : Write Protected')
No matter which slot is used.
Unlocking via fastboot tells me that everything is already unlocked.
Booting the twrp image from fastboot gets stuck at the twrp logo.
This also happens with the patched twrp_4pda version.
This [GUIDE] Flashing ROMs with TWRP black screen post seemed helpful and adb shell works.
But sending commands like twrp wipe cache results in:
TWRP does not appear to be running. Waiting for TWRP to start . . .
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b
fastboot flash boot_b twrp.img
fastboot --set-active=a
fastboot flash boot_a twrp.img
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot boot twrp.img
adb shell
twrp wipe cache
Entering EDL mode via fastboot works without problems.
I installed the qualcomm 9008 drivers (windows 10 driver signature verification had to be disabled) and the phone in edl mode appears.
Downloaded the Mi A2 global fastboot rom
I tried all miflash versions (2015 to 2018 and beta) ... they had various bugs
XiaoMiFlash.Config --> rename to XiaoMiFlash.exe.Config
generate "Log" folder
place rom files inside miflash folder ... avoid any long/special path names
In the end they all start flashing and fail with "no Binary dump" or "ACK count don't match".
I also tried a different PC, different USB cable and fastboot on linux.
Is there anything else that could be done or is time to consider a hardware failure (broken emmc ...?) ?
#### update ###
fastboot format userdata
.... works and writes something without error
fastboot format cache / fastboot erase cache

I was able to get into stock recovery (hold VolUp+Power --> "no command" --> hold again).
wipe data / factory reset --> getting stuck forever on "wiping data..." screen
Apply Update from ADB --> adb sideload miui.zip also gets stuck forever
calling fastboot -w results in:
