[Q] Fastboot Reason: Flash Failure

I'm in over my head and hoping the kindness of a stranger can bail me out! It all started when I attempted to root my wife's Razr M from Verizon. I used a utility (the DROID_RAZR_Utility_Jellybean_XT912_WinMacLin.zip) to attempt an update and then a root. Well the update failed and now I see this when the phone starts up.
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0
Battery OK
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
Fastboot Reason: Flash Failure
usb connected
So I figured out that I can get to BP Tools and this somehow bypasses the problem and boots the phone normally. So as long as my wife doesn't turn the phone off, she'll be fine but I cannot leave it this way. I am open to suggestions and at your mercy. Thanks in advance!

No. I'd like to eventually but right now, I need to make that fastboot lock screen go away. Please treat me like a noob if it's not already apparent.
Thanks

What caused the update to fail? Also, you're lucky btw - Normally a failed update == a brick.
If you didn't root, you can probably take it to Verizon. If you were flashing the OTA and it went bad, that shouldn't be a problem at all...

I followed this video on youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=oDzMQykQ2fA How to Upgrade To And Root Jelly Bean on Droid Razr!
I watched the script run and it kept saying "fail" on several line items and I knew I was in trouble. Unfortunately this was self-induced and I have no desire to go to Verizon for help. I'm not that much of a noob. Anyhow, I'd just like to get back to square one and start over. What I did to get to BP Tools is to hold down volume up, volume down, and power button. Screen shuts off..let those buttons up and press them again which brings me to a second menu. From there I can choose recovery, fastboot, BP Tools, factory reset. The only one that helped was BP Tools which basically sent the phone to a regular boot and it acts normal. If I choose recovery, I get the android dude on his back with a explanantion or question mark, don't recall. If I press volume down, volume up and then release volume up, I can get to the menus where it allows you to run install from disk or something like that. I can't get to the point where I can see my phone on the computer so that I could place a flash file on the phone and re-flash it or something. If any of this sounds remotely familiar to anyone out there, please feel free to add your 2 cents. Thanks!

Try to wipe all user data after you get to the screen where you can install zips in recovery. See if that works. Pm me if you get stuck and we can possibly fix it through adb

This looks really straightforward. I think I can handle it. Are you certain it will work? Just plug in the phone and run the bat file? Right now the phone works so I guess will give it a shot and hopefully I'm on my way. Thanks everyone for the assist.

You need to flash the stock firmware using RSD or House of Moto. This should be posted over at the HD forums, but the process is essentially the same for any Moto device. There's tons of threads about it. Download the software, download the firmware, connect the phone and flash.

I have tryed on my xperia z1 on .757 firmware and work perfect , if no problems..

What you need to download:
EasyRootTool v3.zip
Towelroot apk
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip - save on phone's storage
Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.125-BETA.installer.zip
Here's what I did to root my Z1 (C6903) with .727 stock firmware
1. Follow this guide: click here
- download EasyRootTool v3.zip (v3) from the link and save it on your desktop PC
- extract the zip on your desktop (on your PC not on your phone)
- download towelroot apk from towelroot.com
- save tr.apk in the "files" folder of EasyRootTool v3 (the one you extracted previously)
- connect your phone (make sure usb debugging and unknown sources is turned on)
- click on "install.bat"
- connect your phone to your PC
- follow on screen instructions
2. Phone will reboot but will have no SuperSu yet. Do not reboot again (for now)!
4. Download UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip and save it on your phone's SD card (internal or external)
3. Download Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.125-BETA.installer.zip and save it on your desktop PC
- extract Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.125-BETA.installer.zip file on desktop
- run install.bat
- choose option #2
- connect phone
- you should have custom recovery now
3. If phone does not auto reboot to recovery, manually reboot to recovery
- turn off phone
- turn phone back on
- wait for sony logo then a pink notification led to light up
- press the up volume button to boot in Philz recovery
4. Once in recovery flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip
5. Reboot system and you should be able to install xposed and other root apps!

OTA capturing methods.
How to capture OTA with root:
1. After getting OTA notification, start the download.
2. After download is complete (do not install the update now), just open any root explorer (I recommend ES file explorer) and go to the /cache directory or /data/data/com.motorola.ccc.ota/ on the device root.
3. You can see the downloaded OTA file with name like Osprey_retasia_ds_2gb.XXXXXX.zip, copy this file to SD card and then to your computer.
4. Upload the OTA file to file sharing site and post the link.
How to capture OTA without root:
Follow the instructions from here to capture OTA without root -----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/capture-ota-root-t2969602

stagefright update
After downloading the update (and not installing it), i opened root explorer in es file explorer, and opened /cache, i couldn't find the update in that folder. Rather I was not able the find the update zip file anywhere.

Same Here i cannot locate the OTA file in the Catch Folder. I updated my Moto g3rd gen XT1550
and the new System version is
23.46.4.osprey_retasia_ds_2gb.retasia.en.03 retin
And the New Build Number LPI23.72-47.2

I found a zip file of 177mb at /data/data/com.motorola.ccc.ota/ in that the file named Blur_Version.23.31.33.osprey_retasia_ds_2gb.retasia.en.03.zip
.....is this what you need..

yes the OTA should be of 177.4 MB, but just confirm the name... it should be Blur_version.23.46.4.osprey.XXXX ... upload it to file sharing site and PM me the link.

I got the update notification which included stagefright fix as well as some camera fix... I downloaded the OTA (about 170MB). My phone was rooted with the stock recovery. I went ahead and installed. It told me it will take about 10 minutues. The phone rebooted and installed the OTA and restarted once. It again restarted one more time but will not complete the process. I now see a screen with a blank display. Been like this for more than 10 minutes. Nothing happening. Any ideas? How can I force shut down and restart...?

What is your exact requirement? DO yyou want to install the latest OTA? What is your device status? Locked bootloader/unlocked? root/no root?

If your phone is rooted or having unlocked bootloader you can supposedly install OTA. OTA works only woth stock recovery (which comes with Motorola) ....

My bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted with stock recovery. .
I tried installing the OTA. It seem to have installed the OTA. However, the phone is now not restarting. Looks like a boot loop.
when I press the volume down for few seconds the phone shuts down... but it automatically restarts. But does not go beyond the initial two-three screens and then displays a blank display. I am able to get into flash mode.. but the device is not being recognized...
what to do to come out of this situation...

Yoga Tab 2 1050F - Need help to downgrade to KitKat

Hi everybody,
[First of all I'm french, so sorry for my bad english...]
For the past 3 hours I've tried to downgrade my tablet from Android 5 to Android 4.
I've followed the instructions, but I'm "stuck" while I'm flashing with Flash Tool lite (v. 5.4.2.0), my tablet reboot on the desktop during the process.
What I've done so far ?
I've installed :
- PhoneFlashTool_4.4.4.1_external_win32.exe
- iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-1.2.0.exe
- IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.5.0.exe
Then, I understood that before to go back to KitKat, I needed to change the bios (return to kitkat bios). I used : restore-kitkat-bios-830-1050-v2
The procedure gone well (I think).
After that, I ran PhoneFlashTool_4.4.4.1, and I've ticked "force sparcing" to change size to 500mb, but when I've connected my tablet in USB Port (while it's on the droidboot screen), it didn't recognize my device...
So I've installed PlatformFlashToolLite_5.4.2.0_win32, instead.
With this version of the program my tablet is recognized, the flash started, but during the procedure my tablet reboot to the desktop, and after few minutes the connection is lost, and I've got an error message "flash failed".
I've tried to flash with debug usb tick, and not tick, same issue.
Few more info :
My tablet isn't rooted.
My computer is on Windows 7 64 bits Home Premium.
I don't really know what to do.
Is there something I did wrong ?

You need the kitkat rom to flash after you flash the bios
In the rom zip will be a flash.xml you select in phoneflashtool to flash the tab

Thanks for your response pug1 !
I forgot to mention in my thread that yes, I click "browse" and select flash.xml from the "target_bin" folder.
Here's what I got in Flash tool Lite's box :
03/28/16 11:26:19.699 INFO : Flash file C:\Users\Daemon_Feunoyr\Downloads\Android\Yoga Tab 2\kitkat-YT2-1050F_S0198_150422_ROW\target_bin\flash.xml [Default] loaded

Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/thi...-lenovo-yoga-tab-2-1050f-softbricked-t3319124 post 7 and there is all the files you need

Thanks, but I already have these archives :
- restore-kitkat-bios-830-1050-v2 (restore-kitkat-bios-830-1050-v2.exe)
- yogatablet2-flash-tools-20150812 (IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.9.0, iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-1.2.0, PhoneFlashTool_4.4.4.1_external_win32)
- kitkat-YT2-1050F_S0198_150422_ROW (target_bin (file), tools file (with the programs to flash...)
Isn't it enough ?
Do you think I need one of the file you posted on the other thread ? (I ask, because I have a very bad internet connection...)

I think I found what I did wrong.
I pressed volume up & power to go to the droidboot screen, instead of volume up and down + power (fastboot).
I succeed to flash KK with the tab in fastboot :victory:
Thanks for your time !
Now I need to look into how to root the tab.

To unlock the bootloader go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/thi...yoga-2-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t3320327,post 4

Does it means that I need to unlock the boatloader to root the tab ?

Yes, unlock the bootloader then use this. http://tinyurl.com/zoapeyh for permanent TWRP
Do not forget to update to lollipop BEFORE doing the boot unlock and TWRP

OK, thanks. I hope it's "easier" than downgrade :s
Can you do me a favor ? ^^"
I read your post on the other thread, and I'm confused... I don't really know what I should type in cmd.
Can you highlight (quotation marks, or put them in bold) the commands that I need to type, please ?
Open a CMD window on your computer and type cd c:\ to get to just a c prompt.
Then type fastboot flash ESP This bit then should read the full location of the unzipped file that is patched.
An example like mine is fastboot flash ESP c:/adb/1050f-esp-patched.img , this is how I did mine and I have an unlocked bootloader and permanent TWRP

Do the upgrade to lollipop first then come back here for the rest of the instructions.
After you do the upgrade and unlock the bootloader ,have a read here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-t3322990, it might be easier,the post is by surdu_petru.

I don't want to go back to Lollipop, there are too much bugs :/ (wifi, the screen flicker on internet browsers, sometimes the tablet reboot for no reason, etc.).
I had enough of Lollipop...
Anyway, I want to stay on KK.

O.K, like you I had many problems with lollipop but after doing all this plus one or two other mods,my 1050 is very fast and stable,BUT it might not be the same for others.

Maybe one day, when I'll be motivate lol I'm "exhausted" by my 4 hours of struggle with the downgrade XD
(I suppose there are lots of manip to do for lollipop to be stable =_=), and/or when Lenovo will release a stable version of Lollipop.
How do I root from KK ?
In tried with Kingo Root, but it stucks à 10 % for maybe ~ 10 minutes.
EDIT : Can I use this method ? (though I'm not sure I understand everything... x_x)

I am not sure but I don't think you can on Kitkat

No root at all on KK ?
Edit : My tab flickers in games -_-"
I might reconsider my decision to not upgrade to Lollipop... o/
Where can I find the rom without the two last updates ? (december and march... problems appeared with these 2 patchs...)
Edit 2 : Is that one of the 2 files you uploaded ?
If so, which one do I have to DL ?
YT2-1050F_USR_S000198_1504220313_WW21_ROW (1).zip
YT2-1050F_USR_S100031_1506111400_WW52_ROW-(L).zip

S100031. You will then have 3 update to get to S100256. I have zero problems on latest update

Just remember if you upgrade and then root,you will not be able to take any more updates.
But saying all that, it's easy to get back to KitKat and start all over again.

OK, thanx both of you. :good:
I'll download YT2-1050F_USR_S100031_1506111400_WW52_ROW-(L).zip.
It's the same procedure with PhoneFlashTool/FlashToolLite ? :
- Vol up & down + Power (Fastboot mode)
- connect the tablet to the computer
- In PhoneFlashTool click browse and select flash.xml from the "target_bin" folder
- start to flash ?
For the Lollipop updates (not sure I want to (re)install them), if I wait a little bit before root my device, I guess it will show via OTA, no ?

Flashed succesfully my XT1524 with XT1524_SURNIA_RETEU_6.0_MPI24.65-39_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip using Firmware Flasher. Initial boot after flashing took about 15 minutes (maybe less, but I've been out of the room for some time).
Now I'm testing it, but everything seems to fine, until now.
Many thanks!

That's Nice to hear from you !!! Happy Flashing !!!

The bootloader must be unlocked ?

I also need to know if bootloader must be unlocked first.

Can it be used with moto g 2015 (osprey)?

I have flashed the stock Marshmallow and it worked. Initial boot takes around 15 minutes.
Testing it now. Thanks for this. ?

HAPPY FLASHING :good:

worked no problem here as well. thanks!

Since my previous post in this thread, my XT1524 works flawlessly. Seems that the battery is draining faster compared to 5.0.2, but I can't say for sure - I'm using it as daily phone with navi, push e-mail, data and wi-fi always on and talk time varies a lot. I've managed 2 days and a half between charges, so I can't complain.

i think 6.0 is not good for this device as a daily driver it consumes lot of ram and battery so wait for 6.0.1 or just flash back to 5.1.1 so that you will get better ram space and battery life !!

This will help a lot
