I've downloaded MZ615_1.6.0_278_1FF.xml Firmware. How do i flash this now on my MZ615? I tried via Fastboot to flash file after file it but i get a Preflash Validation Failure. So what to do now?
Now it wont boot, only Bootloader.

How and which file did you flashed? Via Fastboot or via RSD Lite?

I use RSD Lite. About 15m everything done!

So i assume there is some kind of signature check prior to flashing.
I have a MZ615 UK and the only file i was able to flash was the motoboot.img. but every file after that gave me a Preflash Validation Failure

Turn off phone, then hold volume down + power on. Phone will enter fastboot mode, connect phone to pc. Extract the fastboot zip into folder then run rsd lite and open the .xml file then hit start button. After flashing completed, phone will fully reboot.
Caution: Backup everything in phone memory because the flashing process will erase everything

Motorola Fleming fastboot ? May I your tablet system version ?

Anybody already downloaded 1.6.0M-281.8-PASTEM_UCATBLT1UMRTCOREEU fastboot File? I tried two times and once the download failed, the other time the zip file was corrupt Anybody with a mirror link as i'm not able to download anymore for today.

Hi Kent,
this could be a noob question, but i have downloaded the french firmware for the mz615 tablet. The ZIP file contains a file named system_signed with no extension. I try to flash it using RSD lite 5.7 by adding XML or SBF extension but i have a "wrong image file" message un RSD. The firmware i downloaded ils the one for my tablet (same name...) so do you see what can be the problem here ?
Thanks

[Q] Google nexus 7 (2012) - Unrooting leads to total failure(no recovery, no boot up)

Dear developers and other users!
I have been looking for same issues but I was unable to find answer for my problem.
About a year ago I unlocked and rooted my nexus 7 tablet to use special apps on it.
Today I tried to unroot and lock my device. On my laptop the program(Nexus Root Toolkit) said it was successful so I just needed to reboot the tablet.
After rebooting it stopped on the Google screen with a "Booting failed" text on the top left corner like that:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I think I have uninstalled android from the device but I can't Intsall a new one because recovery mode doesn't work and Android is not going to boot.
I can only use Bootloader. Bootloader looks like that:
Once I started my tablet it started in bootloader mode but every other startup fails on Google screen.
Please help me to use my tablet as before without root.
What should I do and how should I do that to get it work again?
Any help would be highly appreciated ​

You don't use USB debugging or adb in fastboot to flash the factory image. Follow the link and read the instructions carefully.

Fix your drivers then. Fastboot is the surefire way to fix your issue.

Its much easier on a Linux machine. All you need to do is open terminal and type "sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot" and hit enter. Then extract the .tar file and double click "flash-all.sh" and choose run in terminal. Absolutely no driver headaches.
If you have access to a Linux machine (mint/ubuntu) or if you can dualboot Linux, this will really help

I too have this same issue...
Exception is my Nexus is locked... everytime I try to unlock it, it tries to reboot and never comes back on...
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for everyone I successfully made my tablet work by flashing a stock android 4.4.2
The solution:
1. I connected to my father's laptop (with Win7 on it and mine had Win8.1 so you MUSN'T try fixing on Win8.1 because of the drivers) because my laptop detected the device as undefined USB component and my father's laptop showed the tablet as Nexus 7.
2. I found a working adb&fastboot here
3. After the download is done unip the file and run RUN ME.bat and type fastboot for help
*If needed after running the RUN ME.bat file type
fastboot oem unlock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(this will unlock your bootloader which is necessarry
for the following steps)
4. After reconnecting my device and booting to bootloader mode and downloaded the new firmware (unzipped into the fastboot folder) type fastboot
fastboot update image-nakasi-kot49h (this was the firmware that I needed to "update")
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. After the fastboot started working and flashing the new OS (it takes about 5 or 10 minuntes) the tablet will restart and starts optimizing all te apps that you had before (that happened in my case).
6. If you want you can lock your bootloader by giving the fastboot this command:
fastboot oem lock

And now I am using Android 4.4.4 on my nexus 7 tablet

I was hopeful that this would work for me.... I am using a win 8.1 machine and the downloaded fastboot and adb seemed to work fine.
I go to do a fastboot unlock and I get the following:
(bootloader) erasing userdata...
(bootloader) erasing userdata done...
(bootloader) erasing cache...
(bootloader) erasing cache done...
(bootloader) unlocking....
FAILED (remote: (Unknown error code))
finshed. total time: 7.902s
So..... Anyone ? The tablet does ask if I want to Unlock the Bootloader... I select yes and hit the power button to select... yet the tablet goes back to the android screen... The top of the screen says Unlocking now...... yet it doesn't...
Please help...

I read somewhere even after relocking bootloader you can tell it's been unlocked because the writing changes a different colour which indicates it has been unlocked. Because I was planning unlocking then relocking it if anything went wrong with it in the future so I can send it back to Huawei to get it fixed.
Can someone confirm this that when relocked there are no signs of it being unlocked

Guys ?
What is the point of re-locking bootloader ??

So the warranty is working if bootloader is relocked???

Turbo Unbrick for Android 4.4.4 - 5.1

There are a few types state of brick of the phone. Let's review two of them:
1. “Softbrick” - the state when the system is not booting, but the PC recognizes the phone as “ADB Device” and the phone can boot to bootloader mode. This state is like a baby's runny nose and can be healed by the simple reflash using RSDLite (the tool avaliable for everybody), or by reflashing the parts of firmware via fastboot.
2. 'Hardbrick' - the hard case that needs a lot of work and knowledge. Sometimes hardware intervention needed in order to fix the phone (test-point contacts closure, battery disconnection, etc). Sometimes the phone could not be repaired without motherboard replacement.
We'll review the phone recovery after the second type of bricking.
The phone in “hardbrick” state is recognized by PC as:
- “Unknown device”. In this case you need to install the Qualcomm USB drivers on PC by hands from the attached file "Qualcomm_USB_Drivers.7z" (download it and unpack to any path you want). The phone will be recognized by PC as “Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9008” device after the driver's installation. Sometimes it is needed to disconnect the phone and to hold the power button during 20-30 seconds to recognize the phone.
- “Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9008” (nothing happens when you press the buttons on the phone). No needed installation driver's in this case.
The PC will see your phone as shown on picture.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then the wonderful utility “TURBO-UNBRICK” comes to the rescue. This is a small program but it makes a great job.
Unpack the archive that includes the utility, connect the phone to PC and run “go” file. And you will observe that your brick will become alive! You will see the next picture at your revived phone's screen:
It's almost a win but you need to make some more actions.
Put the files gpt.bin, radio.img, bootloader.img (also attached), to the “C:\adb” folder on your PC and run the next commands in the command line:
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot
Now you can enjoy! Your friend is alive and greets you by its bootanimation. In that case when you've broken the firmware and the phone is not booting after the bootanimation, you need reboot in bootloader and reflash the firmware by RSDLite.

Too bad we can't use this to reprogram the turbos to be the xt1250 so that the bl can be unlocked.I bricked my phone purposely to try and flash the XML of the moto maxx and it will only let me flash the system for the turbo.It does unbrick your phone though,did it 3 times in a row so it definitely works.

have you tried the mot dev manager? that should detect a brick and set back to factory. rsdlite could also be used

This happened to my phone and I tired using the TURBO-UNBRICK you provided, but it gets to 'flashing singleimage' and I get 'Target ERROR: 7 - Open multi failed, unkown error FAILED (sdl-transfer-image:send-image:sdl-open-multi:target error)
My phone bricked after I started the Lollipop update. No idea what happened. I started the update, went back to work, checked half an hour later and phone was dead. Any help would be great, this is the closest I've gotten to getting it fixed.

Anybody tried this tools for xt1254 ?

will this work if i bricked it after installing 5.1?

I did everything descripted in this thread, but my device keeps rebooting (I can hear the USB disconnecting and reconnecting) and still shows up as a QDLoader in device manager. Plus the screen is still black. Any toughts?
Edit: is this singleimage (msimage_901_0228_0000) right? Usually it's a .bin file, but this one is a .mbn

IF U R BRICKED PROCEED FROM STEP 2 ELSE FOR BOOTLOOP START FROM STEP 1:
step 1] try booting into recovery and perform a factory rest and wipe cache if this solves the bootloop(in most cases it should).if it still bootloops then follow the following tutorial
step 2]extract the fastboot files on the desktop and paste the firmware(it will be in .zip)in the fastboot folder
step 3]after copying the firmware also extract and copy the recovery.img and fastboot.img file from the firmware into the fastboot folder. (don't remove original firmware zip)
now your fastbootfolder should contain fastboot files+recovery.img+fastboot.img+firmware you dowloaded(compressed in .zip)
step4]boot into the fastboot by switching off the phone and powering it on by power+vol up key until asus logo comes up
if u r returning from some other rom u need to relock the bootloader so scroll some below to see how to relockbootloader.
step5]once you booted to fastboot ,open command promt in fastboot folder (downloaded earlier) by pressing right click+shift in any blank space on folder screen and selecting open command promt here.
in cmd write:
step6]
Code:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
step7] fastboot reboot-bootloader
wait until reboot is complete then write
step8]
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
step9] now we will be erasing data and cache for a clean flashing
Code:
fastboot clear data
fastboot clear cache
both of them take time and screen may turn off to save power so don't panic
next use volume keys to navigate to recovery and select it using power key .once your phone boots up showing android with belly open symbol press and hold volume up+volume down until recovery menu appears.if that does not open recovery try this:
hold volume down button, click and release vol up button,,,then finally release vol down button.
i admit it brothers,,it is sometimes really difficult to boot into recovery...but keep trying,,it is a bit difficult but is fruitful
if it doesnt appears it may be due to unssucceful flashing, unplug usb cable,force switch off phone by holding power button for few seconds.now again boot in bootloader by power button and vol up key and repeat from :step[8]
once in recovery select apply update from adb
step10] write on cmd
Code:
adb sideload <downloaded firmware name>.zip
for convenience you can rename firmware to kk.zip or any thing you like so command will be adb sideload kk.zip(it may take 15 to 20 mins)
step 11]once thats done select wipe data and cache in recovery and at last select reboot from recovery menu(dont skip this else you may face freezing on welcome screen itself)
hopefully you will boot into homescreen and be patient first bootup may take upto 20 mins.
[UPDATE] HOW TO RELOCK BOOTLOADER{only for zenfone 5 other device users pls google the procedure}
(USE THIS ONLY IF U R RETURNING FROM ANY CUSTOM ROM ITS NOT NEEDED FOR BOOTLOOPING PROBLEM)
hi guys i know u will be needing to relock the bootloader while returning to stock rom..
so what u have do is use the following steps before flashing fastboot.img that is before STEP [5] mentioned above
[1] download this file (its a zip file extract it using password zenfone-five.blogspot.com)...(link=https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0o7qWuG7vvVRE9CV0hJWGRJS2c/view?usp=sharing)
[2]follow the on screen instructions
after the bootloader is locked carry on the steps from step[5]
PLEASE NOTE---THE UNLOCKING/LOCKING TOOL PROVIDED ABOVE IS NIETHER WRITTEN NOR OWNED BY ME...ALL CREDIT GOES TO ITS RESPECTIVE DEVELOPERS
this method can be used for:
1]unbricking
2]returning to stock rom
