I have tried absolutely everything i can think of to restore my razr m. I'm using a macbook pro. I've tried using RSD lite in crossover, and in parallels, both windows 7, and windows xp. No matter what, my device is never recognized in fastboot mode and never pops up in RSD lite. I can use fastboot from the sdk directly in OSX. the device is recognized, but thats basically useless since the bootloader is locked, and I cant flash the system partition. Yes, I have installed the moto USB drivers, multiple times. I don't have access to any other computer and I'm in desperate need of help. please give me any suggestions you have
Get to a windows computer man. The motorola usb drivers need to talk directly to the hardware, not through another layer like parallels or other emulation software.

No man.. no workaround as long as the bootloader is locked. Otherwise we wouldn't need safestrap.

looks like you need the new fastboot; try the linux one from this zip:

I had an unlocked and rooted Nexus 7 (2012) with Android 4.2. After on OTA-Update I have an unlocked but _rooted_ Nexus 7. I read a lot about "waiting for device", but can't get it work anymore to connect. The device is reset and contains a fresh install without any added data.
I tried to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44179882
Step 2: Reboot the Nexus 7 into fastboot mode using the combination of volume up, volume down and power buttons

I can't get into fastboot with 3 buttons, but with Power and Vol- I see:
Product-Name - tilapia
Variant - tilapia
HU Version - PR
Bootloader Version - 4.23
Baseband Version - 1231_0.18.0_0409
Serial Number - ....
Signing - not signed yet
Lock state - unlocked
Maybe I am doing something wrong then, when I try to flash.
I see start, when I press the power button the N7 starts
When I change to recovery mode, I see "waiting for device" (USB debugging is on, the cable worked to unlock it)
Since I have an unlocked device, I tried only from Ubuntu 12.04 as root:
Code:
~# fastboot-linux flash recovery CF-Auto-Root-tilapia-nakasig-nexus7.img
Before I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44179882 I flashed recovery-clockwork-6.0.0.6-grouper.img
I could also install SuperSU 1.51, but root doesn't work and I found no way to install an updated SuperSU 1.51
BTW, I didn't know, that the grouper.img is the wrong one for my 3G device, UMTS worked fine with 4.2
try using nexus root toolkit. I had rooted prior to 4.3. when I updated, i just had to press one button to reroot(if you didn't use nexus root toolkit to begin with then you may need to go thru the driver setup)

Configure your drivers if you haven’t already using the driver guide (If you aren’t sure use Step 3 of the driver guide to test your drivers).

Where do I get the drivers? Couldn't find a link there.
Edit: Since I have to go to a Windows PC, I downloaded the windows-programm only on my linux pc, it looks like the drivers are included in Nexus Root Toolkit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQhyerPfGes
I tried a lot with Windows XP 32bit and Windows 7 bit, but always I got "adb device was not found", but I saw a popup on the windows desktop with the Nexus after I attached the USB-cable. With Win7 I tried drivers 1-3, with XP driver 1.
With Linux something works:
Code:
adb devices
List of devices attached
<serial no> device
Code:
fastboot devices
<serial no> fastboot
Code:

This forum is for the new 2013 Nexus 7 named Flo. You stated you have the 2012 verson...might want to go to the 2012 Nexus 7 forum here for advice.
On the 2013 Nexus 7 I use the volume button in bootloader/fastboot mode to switch to recovery, then select it with the power button to boot into the recovery you just flashed to the device. From there you can install Supersu (if you have downloaded the Supersu zip file to your device before hand).

Oh, I am sorry to be in the wrong forum. What I found out in the menatime, that the stock-recovery is flashed everytime after a reboot, so there is no menu to flash zip-files after a new start.

I know it was in the wrong forum and all, but found something odd. I had a lot of trouble due to the same thing, waiting for device when trying fastboot. Just in case anyone arrives here: When you see the screen with the Start on top and FASTBOOT MODE in small red letters with the product specs, you're exactly where you should, no need to choose any option.
In my case, the fastbood mode doesn't work from linux (Kubuntu 13.10). It's just not detected, it makes no usb plugged sound, no icon on the tray...nothing. After some headaches just decided to boot to windows and try again. Fastboot mode, exactly as described, plug it to USB, and there you go, the "bop-beep" sound of usb plugged. I knew then it was gonna work on Windows.

Thats means your device is not detected, Did you check device manager in your computer? Is is showing your mobile as Qualcomm 9008?? If it is not please follow the steps on the website, I already given. No need wait 1 hr. If your device is detected, then you can see a green line, and it will finish within 5mnts.

Hi Eldos,
In device manager it shows as RELINK HS-USBQDLoader 9008 (COM8)
i followed your instructions but it still does not work. When i run the MSM8994DownloadTool, it does not do anything.
Anything else i can try. I am stuck in this big problem. When my phone switches off, the only way i can boot is by going to FASTBOOT and running command "fastboot continue" only then my phone boots.
Please help.
Thanks,
Pankaj

Problem Solved
Deep problem
I have gone through all the unbrick guides, even with a Oneplus technician but we weren't able to unbrick it. I'm guessing that after the oxygen 3.0.2 update, I wiped out the partition (not sure). The phone was unlocked with some TWRP version before that. I totally forgot to update it the right way. I can get use fastboot to go into the OS, but trying to flash doesn't work since it's locked. Trying to unlock it supposedly works but it remains locked. We tried the Qualcomm drivers, installed the certificates and the device is seen as Qualcomm 9800 yadda, yadda, yadda, but the MSM8994DownloadTool.exe doesn't detect the device, therefore it stays there doing nothing. Yes, we changed the developer options in the settings but nothing seems to work. The LTE doesn't work properly either...it shows an exclamation mark, so I have to switch to 3G. I'm in dire need of help, and if anyone can help me, you'd certainly qualify for a master tech support agent or something cause not even they could help me with this. Thanks in advance if any of you can help! I'm using a Windows 10 on a Mac, using Parallels VM...

Hey guys,
Ive been trying to unlock the bootloader on my phone to install TWRP. I have ADB and fastboot installed properly, I have usb debugging enabled on my system and I am my computer's administrator. When I turn off the phone and then open the terminal in platform-tools, I can type in the command to reboot into the bootloader, and my phone will turn off but the screen will stay blank. If I then type in fastboot devices, I can see my phone and that its connected and ready.
However, when I type in fastboot oem unlock I get back 3 dots in the command line, and nothing hapenns. I can wait there as long as I like, nothing will happen. If I unplug my phone, it says
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 4.945s
I'm running an unrooted 7041d on Android 4.2.2. I also have my phones USB drivers installed (or I think I got the right ones)
Does anybody know what to do / how to help?

Unlocking your device is failing because you haven't ever enabled Allow OEM Unlock or USB Debugging from within the OS. The only way you will be able to unlock the phone is to get it to boot into the OS first, and going into Developer Options to toggle these two settings on. You may be able to use the method linked above to briefly get your phone booted into the OS long enough so you can do this. If you are lucky enough to accomplish this, then you can disable the big cores using a custom kernel.

You have to try either of those two methods (extreme heat or extreme cold) to see if you can get it to boot even for a couple minutes. Neither method is quick nor do you have time to mess around once the phone finally boots. You can only upgrade with a locked bootloader. So you are stuck unless you are under warranty or can try the fix.

I'm at work so I can't watch your video. I don't recommend opening up a device if you aren't technically sound enough to follow whatever the instructions are. So, try at your own risk and loss of warranty.

Hey man, here is what I did though my device was rooted/unlocked/custom kernal (EX)
- Put the phone on charge
- Switch on, let it bootloop, eventually it booted [takes a day at times]
- Backup if you need to (eg. ADB pull).
- I have EX manager so I enabled power save mode which disables the 4 big cores. As long as the phone doesn't reboot or die no bootloops.

You will need to get into the OS somehow to toggle the dev settings. Otherwise you will not be able to unlock the bootloader. You will not be able to apply the fix (flash custom kernel) with a locked bootloader, and there is no way to unlock it unless your phone can boot. There are a few "tricks" to use with the heatgun/hairdryer that force the phone into limp mode so it will boot into the OS. Others have claimed that once booted, they have enabled "power savings" under settings>>battery and that prevents the phone from going back into the looping. Keep trying, and good luck with the hairdryer!

but seems to me it's a fault on the software ... a bug or a glitch, because it came at the end of february! or a malware of some kind!

If it's a software issue best thing to do is completely wipe your phone. Easiest way is to install Twrp and wipe all incuding internal then flashing fresh stock image. I'm sure there is fastboot commands also to erase (or some other way if can't do neither.) This will remove every last thing from your phone so make sure if you are able to back up pics,docs,downloads,music etc. Last thing though don't think it's causes issues make sure your flashing the right version of February stock image Google finally labled them. Or March if it's out.

Hello Friends,
I got the bootloop problem on my nexus 6p from the last few days.
I Google it to solve the problem with various methods but I am unable to solve the problem. I tried command fastboot flashing unlock but I am getting remote: device is locked. I am unable to unlock usb debugging and oem through fastboot command prompt. When I write command fastboot devices then I get the serial number and when I write the command adb devices then I failed to get the device. I am also unable to get recovery mode.
here is some details of my nexus 6p
BL: angler-03.68
baseband: angler-03.81
product/variant: ANGLER-ROW-VN1
Serial Number: XXXXXXXXXXX
CPU: MSM8994 0x20001
eMMC: 64GB Samsung
DRAM: 3072MB SAMSUNG LPDDR4
Console: ttyHSL0,115200,n8
Battery ok
Device is LOCKED.
Qfuse status: ENABLED.
off-mode-charge: ENABLED.
Download Mode: DISABLED.
Connect USB Data Cable
can you guys help me to overcome this problem and install the new android os.
Looking for your response.
Thank You guys.

Hello, you describe a cluster A57 failure, to fix it you need to boot into your phone enough time to enable USB debugging and OEM unlock then flash a modified kernel or a modified ramdisk
See this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-fix-nexus-6p-bootloop-death-blod-t3640279/
To boot into your device you need to overheat the CPU so the software will shutdown the faulty A57 clusters to cool down the device as soon as it boot up enable USB debugging and OEM unlock before the A57 clusters goes online (because it will shutdown your device) once you succeed enable USB debugging and OEM unlock flash modified files and enjoy your working (but slower) N6P
I had that problem too, but wasn't able to live thinking that my phone was working with CPU issues, so I bought an other Nexus 6P from a guy on the internet, he was selling it because the screen was broken, I got it for real cheap ! I swapped the screen of my BLOD N6P to the one from the guy, it cost me 60$ to completely fix my phone (way less than buying a new phone or buying a new microprocessor)

Hy!
Already done that... Today It comes back from service, they told me they replaced the PCB ... so... it could be a hardware problem or a malware of some kind that ruins the memory... that's what i think about those problem, but i suspect google has something to do whit it!
So... i'll get back to you when I will have IT! :fingers-crossed:
bootloop can't unlock device
I have had exactly the same problem. I tried in vain using heat or cold to get the thing to boot, but independently found the method of leaving it on charge for a few days, occasionally it will get into the O/S.
So while in the O/S I enabled developer options and adb too (the second time) and unlocked the bootloader.
However it still claims to be "device is LOCKED" in recovery mode. This is really weird. I have also factory reset the phone but that hasn't helped.
Luckily I have read the other posts about power saving mode so I'll try that next, it will save having to flash a non-stock OS.
When people ask why unlocking the bootloader is important to me, this specific situation comes to mind. If you had unlocked your device you could have fixed this easily, mind you you would lose 4 cores.

*** I ran into a similar catch-22 issue on my 6P (H1511) the dreaded bootlooping with OEM Unlock turned OFF. ***
*** Couldn't flash the phone because OEM Unlock was off, and couldn't turn OEM Unlock on because it was bootlooping. ***
*** You MUST be able to fix the bootlooping/freezing at least temporarily, in order to turn on OEM Unlock in Developer Options ***
I have tried the "squeezing" method to no avail.
Then tried the heating method, which worked to a point where it has reached the color circles while booting, but then it started looping again.
I figured there's nothing to loose, so I cranked up the heat on the digital heating plate to exactly 140 Celsius for about 10 minutes covered with a paper towel, with only the upper half of the phone's back touching the heating plate (no need to "cook" the lower part with the battery).
It was still looping after the circles appeared, BUT by leaving it to cool off for about an hour, it has finally booted up into the setup page, so I quickly went to Settings > About/Phone/Software Info > clicked the "Build" line 7 times to enable Developer Options, under which I enabled OEM Unlock and ADB Debug.
If it's still bootlooping, you may try to "freezing" method where you would put the phone into the deep freezer for about an hour.
However, heating has worked for me.
Following that, in FastBoot mode I entered the following 3 versions of the flash unlock commands (only one will work out of the 3 which is fine):
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Downloaded the latest full stock firmware directly from Google.
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/angler-opm6.171019.030.b1-factory-ab13a98b.zip
Unzip it, and run flash-all.bat
Once the flashing has finished, DO NOT let it boot up, instead hold down the Volume Down as it's about to reboot, which will kick it into bootloader/fastboot mode.
I have tried flashing the Osmosis zip to patch the boot but it didn't work, it was still bootlooping.
So I have flashed a pre-patched 4-Core Boot kernel to fix the bootlooping issue permanently.
For Android 8.1 OPM6.171019.030 flash this 4-Core Boot with the commands below:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=13356325061477269711
fastboot flash boot Huawei_H1511_6P_OPM6.171019.030_Boot_4Core.IMG
fastboot reboot-bootloader
At this point flash a 4-Cores patched TWRP, go into TWRP recovery (hold down Volume Down + Power for 10 seconds, Volume Down to "Recovery", Power) and first "format" Data, then "wipe" Cache, Dalvik-Cache, and Data.
Note, all information on your phone will be lost by the above format/wipe operation.
All done, hope this method may help some of you.
And here are some interesting FastBoot commands I've come across....
C:\ADB>fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability
(bootloader) 1
OKAY [ 0.018s]
Finished. Total time: 0.019s
C:\ADB>fastboot getvar all
(bootloader) version:0.01
(bootloader) unlocked:yes
(bootloader) hardware-revision:ANGLER-VN2
(bootloader) version-baseband:angler-03.87
(bootloader) version-bootloader:angler-03.79
(bootloader) display-panel:
(bootloader) charger-screen-enabled:0
(bootloader) max-download-size: 0x1d800000
(bootloader) partition-type:cache:ext4
(bootloader) partition-size:cache: 0x6400000
(bootloader) partition-type:userdata:ext4
(bootloader) partition-size:userdata: 0xdaa17ee00
(bootloader) partition-type:system:ext4
(bootloader) partition-size:system: 0xc0000000
(bootloader) serialno:8XV5T15C11000453
(bootloader) kernel:lk
(bootloader) product:angler
all:
Finished. Total time: 0.172s
Instead of "fastboot getvar all", you can also use "fastboot getvar <variable>" (without the quotes and <>)
Any <variable> from the log above, between "(bootloader)" and the second ":"
For example:
fastboot getvar serialno
Enjoy!
My nexus 6P recently went through this bootloop,
Google screen coming up and stuck there, for 5 days, i was going through many possible solutions throughout the web, but they all said it must boot to OS to be able to unlock oem bootloader,
Finally stuck at extreme heat or cold, extreme heat did'nt work for me, but YES extreme cold did actually work, i kept it in the deep freezer for about half an hour, and then waited 2 min, and plugged the charging cable and powered ON the phone, to my astonishment, it did start and i was able to use the phone.
I have rebooted several times since then, it works fine for certain time, and then crashes and restarts all the time, i can still use th phone but its uncertain when it will restart again.
I tried to install new custom rom, but it still says DEVICE IS LOCKED and i cannot do anything else.
