[Q] wiped all data on accident, need help flashing rom with fastboot - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was getting ready to flash a rom and I accidently wipped my whole phone. I can still use fastboot, but when I try to flash a rom using this command
Fastboot update [Rom_Filename.zip]
I get the following error message:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
does anyone know of a rom I can flash through fast boot?

I figured it out, flashed a recovery image, then pushed a rom to the phone with adb and it flashed just fine.

[Q] Does not contain boot.sig and recovery.sig when flash jwr66y factory image

I used the fastboot command and updated every time when I bought nexus 7 (wifi) from last year.
However, when I updated from jwr66v to jwr66y, I used wipe function in CWM. Then, I got the "archive does not contain boot.sig" and "archive does not contain recovery.sig" and "failed to allocate XXXXXXX.byte"...
Then I tried to get back version to 4.2.2, but I also got the same error message. I follow the guidehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 to manual flash each .img files, the same problem occur at flashing system.img
At now, I could not get into android system, just hang on the "Google" logo.
I have read the same problem in another threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992063, but I could not have any idea to solve it?
Anyone have idea?
Thank you very much.
PS: I used the platform-tools r22.0.5
"boot.sig и recovery.sig"
You must install the recovery.img and boot.img
Solution
Here's a solution for ya: http://shuiqingwang.blogspot.com/2013/03/solvedfastboot-wired-errors.html
Basically use these commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I know this post is late, but this worked for me

[Q] Stuck at boot animation after flashing 5.1

I was using 5.0.1, with stock bootloader, stock recovery, actually stock everything except SuperSU added.
I downloaded the 5.1 image from Google, and tried flashing it:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz30f.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1701.06.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot update image-occam-lmy47o.zip
Got some missing sig errors, and "failed to allocate xxxxxxxxx bytes" error. Thus after searching for more information I ended up unpacking image-occam-lmy47o.zip and running:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
Then rebooted. The result is an endless boot animation, regardless of anything I try. Tried restoring my TWRP backup, reflashing 5.1, reflashing 5.0.1, always the same. Last logcat line at boot:
E/kickstart( 233): Sahara protocol completed
Then it's just stuck there. For minutes. For tens of minutes. Looks like forever. Anyone else ever seen this problem, and happens to have a solution? (Preferably without losing my data)
Edit: After a few hours I restored the original (or so I hope) state, by wiping, then flashing 5.0.1, then restoring my backup. But now I don't dare to try flashing 5.1 again. Still would love to hear ideas from who might have seen this problem and knows a solution.
After you've flashed the factory image boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset.

You only really need to flash the following (unless there is a new bootloader and radio):
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (if you are running custom recovery you can skip flashing this)
fastboot flash system system.img

There was a new radio, but that worked (I accidentally booted normally after flashing it). The rest is the same that I did, except the cache, guess next time I'll try doing it without flashing that one. Do I not have to wipe the cache partition either? (And no custom recovery here, I boot TWRP from my PC via fastboot.)
Edit: Who understands this.... I tried it again tonight, flashed radio, then fastboot update image-occam-lmy47o.zip worked, no error this time, no unpacking, nothing. Just a successful update this time.
Guess that wipe was needed, maybe something was already corrupted before I tried flashing the first time.
Case closed.

P9 Lite bricked (L31)

Hi, my problem is with the L31,
I've trying to downgrade from Nougat to MM. I saw on the thread this steps and i followed:
"Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash cust cust.img (This one is in the second zip from badwolf nougat download)
Then I flashed badwolfs recovery b2 as that one lets me transfer files from pc to phone and followed instructions from htcmania from here".
The problem is that i didn't reach to downgrade and when i try to reinstall Nougat by TWRP i get this error messages:
" E: Unknow comand (errno) update_huawei-pkg_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed"
"Updater process ended with error: 7
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/DLoad/Update.zip'
Updating partition details...
...done"
Now my phone stays freeze on the huawei logo and the flashtool doesn't even recognize my device.
Can someone help me with this matter, please?

Good luck
so now i restored twrp , i put the update app in sd card and it doesn't want to flash , i'm still trapped in bootloop but i have access to twrp now what to do now ?
I found the old twrp is okey for downgrade,
Just put b161 update.app into sdcard/dload and press volume down + power key.
but flash badwolf's twrp will get stuck in fastboot, though It's not really bricked.
hi, maybe you also have a solution for my problem.
i installed a wrong update via sd card (dload etc.), now my phone is just black no signal nothing. and it seems like a fastboot loop always when i plug into the pc im in fastboot without doing anything
when i try to unlock the bootloader i get "failed command not allowed")
and also when i try to flash the extracted files from update.zip i get the same error ("failed command not allowed")
by the way i didnt active usb debuggin or oem unlocking
please help thank you

Fix for FileWriteFsiled and NoError

I seem to have an issue that appears frequently, yet I cant find an answer.
This is a fix to Remote: FileWriteFailed
So, I was trying to reflash stock again for multirom and it fails. It can erase everything yet cannot flash anything. Basically:
Writing 'bootloader' (remote: (FileWriteFailed))
It shows up Signature Match, so I decided to continue
It sends boot, boot flashes
Anything else, I get the same Remote FileWriteFailed.
I thought that my partitions killed themselves again, so I tried flashing TWRP
Fails with same error.
I looked and found I can just boot it. So I tried and get this:
Command: fastboot boot twrp.img
downloading boot.img...
FAILED (command write failed (No error)
Restarted bootloader to try again
Recovery flashed. Im feeling confident
I go and try to update via update image
Flash bootloader OKAY
Command: fastboot update -w image-nakasi-ktu84p.zip
Archive doesnt contain *.sig
Checks everything, makes partitions
Everythings okay
Fix is (if you have sdk already)
So, basically, you have to erase System, cache, userdata, boot and recovery with fastboot erase.
Then find your factory image from google and download it
Extract everything and move the image-nakasi-*****.zip and bootloader.img to your sdk folder
Flash bootloader
Use command: fastboot update -w image-nakasi-*****.zip
Wait

Phone stucks in fastboot

Hi guys,
i was on Miui Global 10.xxxx (dont know exactly)
bootloader was unlocked.
Rollback protection target was 1
my recovery was Orangefox recovery (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/development/official-orangefox-recovery-project-t4037899)
I have made a full backup of all partitions before.
I wanted to flash Miui 11.0.4.0 global to flash a custom rom.
First i flashed recovery and installed the recovery.zip.
That worked fine.
Then i wanted to flash Miui 11.0.4.0 with this instructions for a clean flash:
1. If you're coming from another ROM or need to perform a clean flash:
Boot into Recovery
Wipe Data/Cache/System
Flash vendor/firmware (Global 11.0.4.0 recommended)
Flash ROM
(Optional) Flash Gapps (not included!)
(Optional) Flash the latest Magisk
Reboot
Enjoy
This instructions are from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/development/rom-stagos-t4072637
So, i was in recovery, and deleted data, cache and system.
Then i restarted the phone to go to recovery, but that didnt work.
It stucked in bootloop.
I now reinstalled Adb and fastboot, and erased recovery and System partition.
There were much errors in time due old adb and fastboot version etc....
But now iam at this point here again.
wait for your answers how to continue.....
It looks like just flashing or booting recovery is not possible without system partition.
It's now too late and sorry I don't want to risk to give you the wrong instructions how to unbrick
But for the others to avoid similar brick:
1) You say you were on Global MIUI 10 and you wanted to update to MIUI 11.
If so, why didn't you simply update by OTA?
2) If for some reason you were not able to apply OTA, but if you were really on Global (not on custom ROM, Indian ROM or so) and wanted to update also to Global (not switching to EU weekly or so), then you shouldn't wipe anything
You had to flash the stock Recovery back, to download the Global recovery/zip package you wanted to update to, and to force update from System Update: (so called Local Update):
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=1
Now, once you wiped things and bricked, I don't know but you could check the Fastboot method:
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
If reading from mobile phone, force Desktop site in browser for the two links anove
1. When you make format data, than reboot in twrp again
2.when boot second time, wipe data, dalvick, cache, system...and flash new rom.
If you wipe system partition and reboot in twrp again without system, you get fastboot.

Sooo....after hours of reading with errors over errors and fixing, it still doesnt work.
First i tried to flash everything via mi flashtool.
There was an error: Antirollbackcheck Error.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/d0xmbp/what_on_earth_is_miflash_antirollback_check_error/
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads...nd-flashing-recovery-fails-please-help.51349/
To fix this i had to move the Tool and the rom into my C hard drive next to program etc folders...
Then i editet the flashall.bat file and removed the rollbackcheck lines.
Now after doing this, it flashed for 100 seconds, and then there was this error: Failed to flash dtbo.img
sooo....Then i tried to flash the dtbo.img and all the other ones via Minimal adb and fastboot.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/help/flash-stuck-fastboot-soft-brick-t3962662/page3
And this didnt work for me too. Everytime if i try to flash dtbo.img, this error comes:
target didnt report max-download-size
sending dtbo (32768KB)....
FAILED (command write failed (no error))
finished.
Now everything is like before....
Flash twrp and boot in twrp. After phone boot in twrp, make format data. After format, make reboot to recovery.
When booot in twrp, wipe data, dalvick, cache, system , copy Miroom to internal and flash ROM.
Use this twrp...
https://app.box.com/s/8lkfbft44vldtt0y8kwhe6un87b5ebzx
And this rom.

FINALLY it worked YES
FIRST: The Story for everybody who has the same problem like me:
Device: Xiaomi Mi 9T
Firmware: MIUI 10 GLOBAL
Antirollbackprotectioncounter: 1
Bootloader: Unlocked
Story:
At the beginning, everything was working, but i wanted to install a custom rom (STAGOS)
For this step, i had to Update my Miui firmware on 11.0.4.0.
But this step didnt work so well via device OTA (error), then i decided to install it via custom recovery.
I still had the stock recovery on my device, so i went in fastboot mode, and installed Orangefox recovery via ADB and Fastboot on Windows. That worked without problems.
In Orangefox, i wiped as sayed in instructions data, cache and System. then i rebooted.
But before realised that was the wrong way, i stucked in fastboot.
No tools helped. ADB and Fastboot didnt work as seen in screenshots.
I tried everything via fastboot....
fastboot flash recovery XXX.img
fastboot boot XXXX.img
Fastboot format.....etc
But NOTHING worked. Everytime there were the following errors:
Target didnt report Max download size
Error: Cannot load recovery
No such file or directory
Error: Download size is higher that allowed
Failed to load boot image (Load error)
Command write failed (no error)
and some other ones too.....
It looked like, some flashes worked and some not. Sometimes it worked, sometimes not.
After some new tries it just showed via the command: Fastboot devices
????????? fastboot
That problem has been solved. Just unplug the device and wait for 10 minutes until it shuts down automatically.
If that doesnt work, you can try to replug it to pc some times again.
It looked like replugging and using different USB Port (one user solved the problem via USB 2.0) helps to get a better connection and prevent errors.
Then i tried some tools, for example android all in one tool, but no one worked.
After this, i reinstalled the driver and installed MI Flash tool (https://mi-globe.com/download-xiaomi-mi-flash-tool-all-versions/)
It looks like there are some mi flash tools around here which are not working right, but THIS one worked for me.
After installing, i connected my device, choosed the fastboot firmware (.tgz), unpacked it and choosed the right location in mi Flash tool.
Firmware files are find here: https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
(You should check you Antirollback counter before to avoid a brick. Here you find some informations: https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-anti-rollback-protection-brick-phone/)
DONT FORGET TO CHOOSE IN THE RIGHT DOWN CORNER: CLEAN ALL !!! (normally, clean all and lock is choosen, but that bricks your device)
After doing this, i started flashing, but there was an error: Antirollbackcheck error.
I solved it via moving the mi flashtool directly into my C hard drive, and deleted some lines in the flashall.bat, as seen in post history here.
Then....it worked for some seconds longer, but than: Error: Failed to flash dtbo.img
So i tried it via ADB and Fastboot. But nothing changed.
Then i tried flashing via mi Flash tool again, and this time the following error comes: Failed to flash system.img.
After this is thought: hmmm....something is very wrong with this device....lets try again, after a device restart.
So i tried again, let it running for ~360 seconds, and IT WORKED!
At the End: there was the following error: Error: Not catch checkpoint.
But this error (you can also see in a screenshot) it not necessary.
This is the result of removing some lines in flashall.bat.
After this my phone successfully booted im Miui 11.
