I have tried smart switch but i am not getting device initialization option in updated version. How ever i have downloaded an older version and found device initialization option it asked me for device model and serial number. I have entered correct information still it is giving me error invalid model number or serial Number.

I think going to Samsung service centre might help.

tried downgrading to 8.1.0?
did your developer option have oem unlocking option? Its that even if unlock bootloader but if your developer option doesn't show oem is already unlocked then it says that to me as well.
But hey I don't know everything you have done, you might have done everything correctly still it screwed you. Best of luck bud.
if you dont mind what happens when you flash the firmware?

My device is stuck at samsung logo and it is not booting. I have tried to downgrade it to 8.1.0 with odin and it was successfully done.
But issue remains the same. Hence it is not booting so i am not able to unlock OEM. I am getting error in recovery that is E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument) . Somehow i found a threat with a solution and for that i need to install TWRP in my device.

I needed to tweak date to make OEM unlocking: Bootloader is already unlocked on developer options after flashing stock rom of other region but for my exact region it appears each time and I dont need to boot to rom to flash twrp, I can flash the ROM and twrp simultaneously only in my device's original firmware(8.1.0) but not in rom of any other region and on pie.
I hope I'm not annoying you, could you try flashing 8.1.0 by unticking auto reboot ----- force reboot ---- odin --- twrp.
Edit: this thing doesn't make sense.

Bricked XT1072

Hi Guys,
I stupidly did not realise my device (XT1072) was a different slightly different model to the moto g 2014.
I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP, then tried to install Cyanogenmod 12.1, this failed giving an error "Error executing updater binary in zip" Which I guess is due to it being a different model, right? After receiving this error I did some googling and found on a few sites that I should wipe data, system, cache & dalvik cache to resolve this. I did this and tried to flash it again, with the same error. Now my phone is stuck on the "warning bootloader unlocked screen" I can boot into fastboot mode, but is there any official Motorola images for my device anywhere? I have had a look online and cant find anything. :crying:
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Format system is completely wipe previous android version,
You need a custom ROM (I'm assuming you have custom recovery for your device model)
Or fastboot a original image for you're device

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I also tried with CWM_Touch_Titan_v2 recovery image. But when I tried to flash the stock rom RETGBALL_XT1072_5.0.2_LXB22.46-28_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml using mfastboot method, it shows on the phone screen "image too large".
As you have faced the same problem, would you be kind enough to give a step by step instruction to solve the issue. My phone is just stuck to unlocked bootloader warning screen for days.
My phone is Moto g XT1072 4G LTE.
Your help could save my days...

Why are u flashing an xml file? XML files are not rom files
The link provided above by mic_he has step by step instructions to restore phone back to stock
Your phone is not bricked. You deleted your system so there is no os to boot. The link should restore you back to stock

Thank you,
I have tried those instruction earlier. when I enter "mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img" is says "Bootloader preflash validation failed" and when I enter "mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0" onthe phone screen is says "Image too large". After going through all the steps when I reboot, it does not ever get past unlocked bootloader warning screen.
I really do not know which other option to try??

Unmounting system before flashing usually stops that problem. What I like to do is wipe data, system, cache & dalvik then reboot to recovery before flashing the rom.

Oh ****, that seems like a frustrating situation. What made the device mess up so much? Have you gone to service centres?

Not tried to flash or root. It just hanged while using.
Service centre said board gone (as always). MTK devices have a factory mode through which we can check working of all board parts. I did not find any way for this.

balongc52b311 after failing kangvip 6.7.1
hey there. will tell you my experience with failing to flashing kangvip 6.7.1 due to wiping problem
i wiped my cache, data, system even internal storage and yet failed to flashing kangvip 6.7.1 4 custom rom due to "cust" folder unable to mount giving me this:
error 1 can't mount /cust (Invalid argument)
so after failing to mount that folder and even deleting it by mistake,i got a new error:
error 1 can't mount cust no such file or directory
i lost hope and let my my honor 4x normally boot but it took too long and i was determined its stuck on bootloop :cyclops:
i woke up today finding it on 5% battery and giving me that first time setup as if all i did was a factory format BUT all in chinese. checked the build number and it was balongc52b311.
i tried mounting "cust" folder to r/w and rebooted into bootloader but it gave me the same first error. i tried deleting the folder and then rebooting into recovery and it gave me the 2nd error. created the folder "/cast" and then rebooted into recovery and it gave me the same first problem that the folder can't mount EVENTHO it was mounted successfully right before i rebooted into recovery (did this 3 times to make sure)
did some researching and found a solution for honor 4c http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/help/huawei-honor-4x-balong-hi6210sft-fixed-t3324335 or two BUT both for lolllipop and i'm marshmallow.
i'm already halfway at the method i mentioned above but i stopped after i realized it was for lollipop. i rooted my mobile and changed my build number to "Che2-L11C636B330". worth to mention that my model number remained already the same "Che2-L11".
the cust folder error is still there whenever i go to the bootloader
now i have no idea what to do, what firmware to download and if i have to downgrade first to lollipop and then upgrade to marshmallow again...
my marshmallow version was the middle east final version before this balong happened: Che2-L11C185B561 and i would like to go back to it again.. thank you in advance ( :
###*UPDATED BELOW*
fixed my problem trying the method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/honor-8-rooted-twrp-modaco-rom-unable-t3462039/page2
>>>>worth to mention that i flashed my oeminfo for my UPDATE.APK REGION before flashing the extracted files from UPDATE.APP "wasn't mentioned in that method"
now i'm back to my original marshmallow version "middle east". good luck people.

Phone Honor 4x (che1-L04) Stuck in fastboot mode
My phone is stuck in fastboot mode. Couldn't get the bootloader unlock key online as it requires the product id which can be obtained by dialing a number which isn't possible. I have requested directly from the customer care number and the official chat portal as well but its been more than a week and still they are asking for 24 working hours. Is there any alternative method of getting the key or atleast the Product ID?

Stuck in Fastboot & Rescue mode with the bootloader locked.
I got unlock key after 12 days. Honor 4x hanged after restart it is in bootloop.

No the update.app isnt working I guess because I have already flashed the CM13 recovery image with the bootloader locked. However, I recieved the bootloader key yesterday from the email but when I tried unlocking by the fastboot command it said it is an invalid or wrong key. Is there any other way to take my phone back to stock condition atleast without actually unlocking the Bootloader?

1. Try "fastboot continue" it will directly boot without going to recovery.
2. If fastboot flash works flash recovery of the firmware installed in phone before bootloop.
3. If still not works flash boot, system, recovery (in this order) of firmware installed before bootloop.
Confirm unlock key with customer care if it is still locked.
I wanna know is there any other method to install xposed framework since the normal installation is not working for me.
Using Honor 4x Che1-l04 running on (stock ROM) Android marshmallow 6.0.1, have TWRP custom recovery and is rooted.

no other way, unfortunatly.. one way or the other, you have to flash the zip...
ps: if you are on emui, first boot after flashing xposed will take a really long time.. mine took around 25 minutes to boot.. so dont consider it a boot loop, wait untill 30 minutes and you will be profitted
Mine was in boot screen for around 3 minutes and then rebooted into recovery. Same thing was happening again and again. So at last did the restore process from TWRP.

Yes, but as soon as flashing is finished the device reboots to recovery and shows error failed to mount efs nd dm-verity verification failed. Downloaded firmware with Samfirm tool.

Ok I see. Hmm not sure...I googled and found this thread that has a few solutions (Kies, Smart Switch, etc.) that seem to resolve the issue. If someone knows for sure they can chime in, but in the meantime I would start here (even though it's for Note 4...might still work, or at least point you in the right direction).

soft brick? error [Func NO : 11 (recovery image) Error NO : 2 (load failed!)

Hi guys. I tried to see other threads but I haven't fint anything. Probably there is but I'm beginner and I don't understand so much Anyway this is the problem:
model LLD-L31
build number LLD-L31 8.0.0.133(C432)
FPR unlocked
bootloader unloced
I tried to install root(Magisk-v16.4) in my device. So I unlocked bootloader, installed TWPR(Pretorian80 2.3.1) successfully but this error "Failed to unmount '/system'(Device or resource busy)" appeared. So I try to format data by recovery hoping that it could be able to read partitions after that. I couldn't yet flash file.Zip so I tried to upgrade Twpr in latest version installing it in recovey ramdisk.
After that I'm not able anymore to get into twpr cause this error appered:
[Func NO : 11 (recovery image) Error NO : 2 (load failed!)
Now, I fortunatly turn on the phone, using it with no problems. I can enter in fastboot and eRecovery. I tried to swipe data/reset but the same error appears.
Can I fix it easily? Tell me if you have any tips, thank you:good:

Hi, Not familiar with that Version of TWRP, can you link please?
Failure to unmount system usually means you have system set as "read only", try to change within twrp (when you get a working version flashed).
You say you tried to update TWRP to latest edition, exactly what edition did you flash?
Anyway eRecovery will rescue the phone back to when first turned on.

I can't enter anymore within TWPR, only in stock recovery.
What made you flash that version, where does it say its for the H9L ?
Try either of these, I use V.01 :-

Make sure you use the following command "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk NAME.img"
When flashed, issue "fastboot reboot" while holding down Vol+, when bootloader page blanks immediately remove USB lead and continue to hold Vol+ until TWRP appears.
TWRP may stall for a while on LOGO page, be patient.

Last thing if you can..
On mount section the option mount system partition read-only is disactivated but, at opening, error appears in the same way so I don't know how to disable it definitively
Try formatting Data and then reboot to TWRP (recovery).
Man I'm a disaster:crying:
I formatted but I also had the brilliant idea to delete the whole system, without creating any backup by twpr, obviously. So now I have no OS in my device:good:
I had look for stock firmware with Firmware Finder and I have find one whit these files(bottom photo). Which have I to download?
Then I'll probably follow this thread(https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/help/os-installed-t3787136) to continue. Is it right??
At this stage you are probably better off using eRecovery to bring your phone back to full stock.
From off press and hold Vol Up and connect USB, wait for eRecovery and select "Download latest version and recovery".
Needs WiFi.

Cant flash TWRP Recovery

Hello,
I am new to Samsung devices and have tried to install twrp on my note 9.
Firstly I enabled OEM Unlock in dev options and let the phone reset.
I then went into download mode and went to odin3 and selected the correct twrp file in AP and clicked Flash.
It passed and the phone rebooted to the system.
I then tried to get into twrp but it just took me to the stock recovery so I tried reflashing it and now I get the following error:
"Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(recovery)"
I have tried going back to dev options to make sure OEM unlock is enabled but it has completely disappeared!!!
I have tried completely reflashing the stock ROM using Odin with no luck!
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? This is getting super frustrating because I have never had this issue on any other android phone.
Any help is Very Appreciated Thank You.
