Bricked lenovo A3000 i can flash all images except system & fac - A3000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i'm not experienced with such things
i gained some knowledge from googling the last few days
i have access to Fastboot ADB and CWM recovery
it started when i tried to flash the rom but it stopped on 35% on the yellow bar on SP Flash
i tried more than 2 cables , 5 different SP flash tools versions
also tried to
adb push
fastboot flash
but always failure
the device was not rooted and i think this is the dead end point :crying:
is there a way to root it using ADB -CWM-Fastboot ?!
is there any more tries i take ?!
BTW also IMEI Shows nothing on MT Droid Tool

Help really need here, big issues

Hello to everybody, so i was thinking my nakasi was really dead this time, the last thing i did was flashing a 5.1.1 rom next when i rebooted got stuck on lolipop boot loop so i restarted the tablet
manually to access the recovery, and to my awe, i couldn't no more access the recovery ! (latest twrp) tried again and again nothing, no recovery no bootloader, can't start the OS
always stuck on google logo with the options above, start, bootloader, recovery etc, today i realized i could access the bootloader and fastboot mode (ADB recognize my device when i type fastboot devices)
so i tried flashing stock image and stuff with no luck, tried many stock roms, tried wug's toolkit and the flash all.bat still no luck, i get all kind of error messages here is a screenshot, help is really appreciated if there is anything i can do to save it :
View attachment 3305126
the problem seems to be that i can't write the things i send to the tablet via ADB, tried the NVflash recovery today and got :

Have you tried not imputing the full file address as you have the emulator already running from that location.
So recovery command would be.
Fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery Img file here"
Just make sure that the image file is in the platform-tools folder.
Probably not your issue but its going to save you some typing.
Good luck

Thank you for the tip I'll certainly use it, but i don't think it is the culprit since as you can see in the screenshots
the files get sent successfully but cannot be written, my bootloader is unlocked by the way

Did you try the latest factory image? I noticed you are flashing a very old bootloader, possibly the first one? 4.23 is the current version.
Where is flatline_grouper.img coming from? I've never seen that.

Hello kind sir, of course at first i tried the 5.1.1 full factory image with the NRT toolkit and got the same writing errors next i tried many bootloaders
(one of them found it here as a 100% working bootloader) the Flatline is the recovery of the NVflash tool where you can access it to unbrick full bricked N7s
if you got blobs.bin of your N7 backed up (clearly not my case)
the flashing writing error i get it with everything i try to flash, recoverys bootloader system etc
when i send them with the flash all command they got sent to the tablet okay, but when writing i get the errors
i don't know but there is a small informations if that can help, before it broke my system was in EXT4 and all the rest in F2FS
It's entirely possible your memory has failed. I'm reading more and more people running into corrupted memory issues.

I'm still hoping for a software solution since my fastboot works fine, I'll let the motherboard solution my last i guess
Hello some news about the still staggering situations : when the tablet is off and i put the charger i get the battery refiling animation ! so that mean the bootloader isn't broken
and i still can access fastboot mode, even when i push a bootloader i get a signature match message, but the problem is still that the things i push can't be written as i'm still getting a :
FAILED <Remote: <FileWriteFailed>> changed usb cables, changed ports, the last time the tablet was working i had the system on EXT4 and the rest on F2FS, maybe if i can convert everything to EXT4 ?

X720 bricked, kind of ;)

Hi. Looks like I fkced my phone. Was using Darkobas twrp, flashed this room and it boot-looped at the beginning (phone was turning on and off on the "Coolpad" screen). I can enter the recovery however can't transfer roms into the card. While pushing big files with ADB push (it takes few minutes) it randomly stops responding/hangs in the middle of a transfer. Tried multiple times and it stops randomly ( I've wiped/formatted whole storage )
I managed to flash another recovery 3.1.0.0 but still I need to push some rom to see if I can flash it. After PC reboot it stopped detecting my phone...
Fastboot is not working, power + vol down goes to black screen / turning off the phone.
Tool_all_in_one does not detect my phone. In fact I do not see it in Windows Device Manager. Tried different usb 3/2 ports
Commands in console like fastboot oem device info gives:
< waiting for any device >
adb reboot bootloader gives:
adb server version (39) doesn't match this client (36); killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: no devices/emulators found
It's done guys?
Update: somehow managed to restore connection, so phone is visible in Device Manager as "Android Composite ADB Interface" .
Managed to push AICP ROM with adb but can't see it on sdcard. Usually, it was in the main directory, now nothing is there.
Adb sideload? It still seems to me like youre having connection issues w/the pc. Tried rebooting to fastboot from twrp menu?
1 - Enter Twrp Recovery
2 - Wipe -> Format Data then type "yes". This command gonna wipe your internal storage behold.
3 - After this reboot recovery and go to mount then enable mtp.
4 - Transfer rom file.And after a clean wipe flash it.
That rom have bootloader and some modem file that can bring up some issue mate.And those files belongs to Changer not to our beast.
Both device very very familiar but its different product anyway you can't trust it.
I RECOMMEND ALL OF PEOPLE GONNA FLASH ROM please first check the firmware files .If there, then clean it and wipe from the updater-script.
For an alternative you can flash your stock firmware files from QFİL but it's risky too.
Thanks for the replies. MTP was enabled all the time in the recovery. I have unmounted all partitions, repaired, formatted etc. After multiple tries, I managed to push and flash AICP rom. Good it's only ~500Mb. Transfer of bigger files was interrupted every time.
By the way this JUI ROM has replaced the starting screen. Phone is quietly squeaking for few seconds (in fastboot all the time) after every reboot on 'CoolPad' screen, similar to this 42sec 12000Hz. Any way to back to 'original' LP3 one?

Make sure you are not using a USB hub, or extension cable. Also make sure you are plugged directly into the PC motherboard, not one of the front ports. I had transfers stalling and it was my USB extension cable.

Sure, you need to flash the firmware files, download 23s from the official site, and fastboot flash all the files, that'll return you to stock fastboot, splash, etc.
Follow this guide (no need to format data, and flash system again, just the files in firmware update folder).

Can't flash anything using fastboot - "fastboot flash xxx.img" gives me: < waiting for any device > and nothing happens.
At the moment trying to flash stock 23s but it's hanging on "Patching system image unconditionally" for 5+ minutes already.
This JUI fcked bootloader in my phone somehow. It's blocked/can't be replaced or no idea what's going on here.
Edit: so ye after 20+ minutes of "Patching system image unconditionally" looks like I'm unable to flash stock 23s using TWRP 3.1.0.0.
Probably it wants to replace this fkn JUI bootloader and freeze there.
Wait, are you trying to flash complete official update.zip via twrp?? You cant do that. Find a 23s package customised for flashing via twrp, I think I used alba's package from 4pda

Is there any solution to restore Leeco bootloader? I just cant flash anything because device is unknown during fastboot mode. Tried to uninstall and reinstall driver but no luck.
I am stuck with coolpad bootloader which is not recognised from my pc. Serves me right because i didnt check the zip of jui which i flashed that had another bootloader, fml.
If any kind soul has any info on that please say it, thanks.

That is litterally what this whole topic was about? See my responses, if you still have access to twrp (dont see why wouldnt you), you can use it to flash a 23s "stock" rom through it (such a package will contain, among others, the leeco bootloader etc)

Need Urgent Help, Phone not powering

Alright so where i'm at now is basically the aftermath of a failed attempt to install a cyanogen unofficial rom for my phone.
I have a p9 lite VNS-L23 dual sim and well basically, i unlocked the bootloader and i rooted it with twrp and installed superuser using the srk tool. Everything worked fine up to this point until i booted into recovery, cleared cache and data etc to do a clean install and the install failed with an error code 7.
I thought doing a twrp backup before the flash was effective but because it didnt take any length of time, i sort of thought it definitely wasnt a full backup but i didnt pay it any attention and tried to flash it anyway since iv'e never had probs flashing anything with other of the phones ive had before which was my main mistake.
Usb debugging was enabled before trying to flash. I thought it failed because i didnt change my file system but i had no idea how to do that so i avoided it and tried to install a newer version of twrp to see if the rom would work with the updated version instead. When flashing the twrp img file, it asked where i wanted to install and i think i selected bootloader instead of boot cause there were only 2 options.
After than finished and i chose to restart in recovery, recovery never loaded. I was getting erecovery but that couldnt help me either. I was just stuck with no os and a phone stuck on the bootscreen. I tried to unbrick my phone by installing the update file for the international version firmware which i downloaded which was the only one not to fail after trying 2 others before it before realizing the error i was making. I read online that it would restore my phone back to ofw and that was great considering i had no os installed. Now, after the update, i think i reached like 100% then it went blank. I tried to wait a couple seconds to see if it was rebooting but nothing happened. tried all button combinations with and without the charger for varying lengths of time but no luck. I hear a sound when its connected to my laptop tho so idk if that matters. Its a bit frustrating right now and i have no clue how to fix this problem and i havent even had the phone for a long time. If someone. anyone can help me, id more than appreciate it
So far, nothing is responding to anything. No lights, no vibrations and i dont see anything when it conencts to my laptop, my laptop just makes the connected sound. I see Fastboot 2.0 detected but the srk tool cannot detect any emulators or devices :/ im so depressed at this point. More or less just bought the ****.
Sounds bad, try using the dload method and if that doesn't work you are ******.
What is the output of "fastboot devices"

its the dload method that has me in this mess. It didnt reboot from the upgrade and since then i think ive been in fastboot mode. I get a response with the fastboot devices cmd and i manage to flash the boot, recovery and system of the stock firmware but still no luck. Think my only option is to use dc phoenix but i cant buy credits for that

not getting to the upgrade screen with dload, the phone restarts but nothing on screen. I can use fastboot only to flash and unlock bootloader, check specifications but thats it. I flashed the stock image which is mm thru fastboot but no luck. I read that i might wait for my battery to drain since my battery isnt rly made to be removable. Can i still use dload without any on screen response?
Have you also tried flashing vendor, cust ... partitions ?

Fastboot doesnt flash certain img's such as xloader etc, no vendor img included inside the update but i doubt i'd be able to flash it anyway, but i flashed everything i was allowed to incl. cust, boot, recovery, system, cache, . Everything else is giving error: command not allowed. I've hit a brick wall so far til my battery drains or i take it to a repair shop which is i guess, last resort. Can't seem to find help anywhere on the internet, nothing returns anything to the screen.
Looks like a hard brick, take it to an official repair shop. But remember: unlocking the bootlader does NOT void the warranty.

FULL ROOT... ON MY HUAWEI XT2!! Twrp supersu and custom rom !!!
Sent from my HUAWEI H1711 using XDA Labs
The problem with this seems to be, at least for me, that a .bz2 file is not recognized by the recovery as an installable zip.
The dd trick worked for me, but the system image here, is not full stock. IT seems to have a mix of super_su and magisk in it.
Root is working, but I can't seem to mount system as r/w
So trying to figure this out. I used this image to do a restore, and my phone was rooted with magisk.
First time a program tried root, it said that super su was installed. When I went to another one, it said that magisk was installed.
Anyrate, at one time I was able to mount system r/w and make changes. Now it seems that I can't for whatever reason. I don't know exactly how I got it
to the state to be able to modify the system.
I actually pulled an entire copy of the rom at one time, with a dd command. Of course that can't be reflashed from twrp. But I'd like to be able to mount it somehow on a pc so I could do a stringsearch for all files that have an ro, in them to find the master files where the filesystems are mounted, and edit those....

HELP PLEEEASE! Bricked h1711
Badly need mmcblk0.img for H1711! Had TWRP and phone was rooted but I screwed up and flashed a wrong IMG. Now I have the dreaded QHSUSB_BULK issue. Nothing but a black screen and a blue light. I googled "How to fix QHSUSB_BULK or Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 error" and went on forum.hovatek.com where it said "This error is an indication that the phone is hard bricked due to a corrupted Bootloader. It could occur randomly or after you make a change to the phone, causing the phone to go into Qualcomm Emergency Download Mode." It also stated that I could fix it by creating a bootable SD card using the phone's original mmcblk0.img file using a program called Win32DiskImager. I don't have mmcblk0.img and I can't boot into recovery or fastboot. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!! Also first two links in OP's post don't work. Any files or advise you can contribute would be GREATLY appreciated! THANKS!
mmcblk0.img would contain all phone partitions including those with personal information like IMEI number and the /data partition that should not be shared.
Nobody should be sharing that without understanding it contains their IMEI number and other possibly personal information in /data and I'm sure it would be at least 8-10GB.
And what would you do with the file anyway if you can't get into fastboot or recovery?

What is the link to the info you found?
I have the image you need, but it is 15 GIGs in size, and there is no practical way to send that. I also have a system image, and a boot image with magisk in it, as per the OP.
P.M. me.
I don't see how you can recover this if you don't have recovery or fastboot, and can't boot into the phone. If the bootloader is corrupted, well I just don't know.
Can you get into twrp?
You do know that there are two recoveriess, one erecovery and another recovery.
It seems that POWER and VOL up may get you into one, and POWER and VOL down may get you into another one.
NOTE: I KNOW you can't flash the image via fastboot, cause I tried it. it is just to big.
The files are all to big to post here....
https://nofile.io/f/2sfHn8teU1s/system.img.bz2 I put this up 6 days ago for someone else. I don't know how long the link is good for.
This is the system image from the non-working link. You will need to untar it.
https://nofile.io/f/2sfHn8teU1s/system.img.bz2 <<<<<<<<<< file from Original Post
https://nofile.io/f/vTRffT3CM0s/erecovery.zip <<<<<<<<<< erecovery is same as stock recovery
https://nofile.io/f/3DRA4bYjdsq/twrp-xt2.7z <<<<<<<<<< Hweng's original twrp
https://nofile.io/f/uAET5bTqQVk/patched_boot.zip <<<<<< bootloader patched with magisk for a root that does not touch the system partition.
I'll try to put the 15 gig mmblockp0 up here if it will take it, but it is at the office.
I hope this helps.
I now also have a virgin system image, stock. The image given above appears to also have supersu installed it int.
at least it has a su in the system image. Where magisk, just patches the boot image as I understand it.
Any luck on that stock system.img? I formatted mine like an idiot and now sitting on a phone with no OS
same as above, i will even take the rooted system.img i have all other files needed.
I'm a little bit of a noob at all of this but could someone explain to me how they got twrp and root on their xt2? I can really only process step by step and I haven't found that anywhere yet. I'm getting this phone later today so it'd be really cool to get root on it

​My device suffered the same fate, only a blue light black screen unable to enter boot or recovery. I slowly removed the back cover using my fingernails and removed the two screws holding the metal plate above battery on the right. Popped the left most plug to disconnect the power flow and allow phone to power off completely. Be careful not to touch any of the metal near the plug or you will short. I plugged it back in and held volume down while I inserted USB connected to computer. Tada!! Back in action fastboot ready... So OK now what?? I can't seem to be able to flash an update. Zip just keeps saying failed to load, and system image is too big. Can someone point me to the correct files I need to get her working again? Thanks in advance.

My moto g5 plus is bricked and is stuck at fastboot mode

I have Moto g5 plus xt 1686 Indian variant.I hadn't unlocked my bootloader. The device was working but suddenly one day it got bricked dont know why but it boots only in fastboot mode that to with no information.The only error i am able to verify is "failed to validate boot image"
After trying for around 1 week i have tried these things
1. Used rsd lite earlier it wasnot able to identify my device in windows 10 machine but in windows 7 machine its able to do that but unable to flash the device
2. tried to flash using adb commands but they are also not working
Since i tried to unlock the bootloader through the guide of motorola website then also i am not able to do that and get this error "'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."
Please help ....

You need to install fastboot in pc and then flash the device to make it work.

You cannot unlock bootloader anymore. So try flashing normally. If your hardware is not damaged then you might me able to make it work.

Since it is booting into fastboot mode i dont think its damaged.But the problem is its my first time for flashing so i dont know very much about it.
What i know is that , i installed adb in my system ,and then through command prompt i tried to detect my device But its not getting detected.So if you can please provide me a brief guide for flashing phone.

K.. install adb(https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120698566 ). If you had installed moto assistant then you'll have the drivers. If not then google motorola drivers and install them(http://www.motorola.com/getmdmwin ).
Once it's done. Open the folder where adb is installed.
Hold shift and right click>open command promt here.
At this point boot into the bootloader on your phone (fastboot mode).
On cmd type fastboot devices.
If your device is detected then it will show on screen.
If you get to this part.
Start flashing thru fastboot.
Get the files from google( or https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/potter/official/RETAIL)
Instructions to flash are in xda.
If you get failed to flash: security version downgrade then you're probably flashing an older firmware. Download the latest.
If you get failed to flash: preflash validation failed then there's not much you can do. Or atleast i don't know a solution to that.
its not detecting my device
Actually the problem is that it is not detecting my device when i give this command, although i have installed device drivers and adb also....This is is the problem

Here's a guide to flash stock firmware.
Try the linked Mini ADB & Fastboot, if your device isn't recognised try to connect it to another usb port or use another usb cable.
Are you sure that you're in fastboot mode when you type the commands?
Read the guide carefully.
You need:
Latest signed stock firmware:
Europe (RETEU):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/13WuhoogtAdoincAyTwCLvRj0d-Z9kL0P/view?usp=sharing
India (RETIN):
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
US (RETUS):
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
flashallO.bat:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zfh67uzfle9hsco/flashallO.bat?dl=0
Motorola drivers:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0WGdtNWubBJYnlDcWRBZXltanc/view?usp=sharing
Mini ADB & Fastboot
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lLYfimKN1U5CJ9cfpTCkhtMiuG8EfXBZ/view?usp=sharing
1) Download the 8.1.0_OPS28.85-17-6-2 Indian firmware (it's the last one for the Moto G5+ (potter).
2) Install Mini ADB & Fastboot (best place is the root directory of C:/ or how the partition/hard drive is named where your OS resists), not in program files or another folder.
3) Extract the firmware to that ADB & Fastboot folder.
4) Download my "flashallO.bat" and move it to that folder too.It removes the need for you to manually flash all partitions, just double-click it and it'll run all the commands for you.
5) Download and install Motorola device drivers.The program is called "Motorola Device Manager".
6) Reboot your phone to the bootloader. To do this, turn it off, then hold down the power and volume down buttons until you see a bugdroid undergoing open-heart surgery.
7) Connect the phone to your PC with your USB cable. Type
Code:
fastboot devices
to check if your device is connected. A serial number should be shown.
8) Run the flashallO.bat script. (Caution: This will wipe your device completely!) It will take some time to flash, just be patient and don't worry.
NOTE: If the command window appears for a brief moment then disappears, device drivers may not be installed. Ask again then.
9) Once the command window closes, it should have completed the flashing process and you are safe to press the power key on the phone to start Android. Just make sure that the text near the buttons reads "START".

You're always talking about ADB commands, it's Fastboot that you have to use, it's described above how you get there.
What image do you mean when you say it's not flashing?
The guide is complete, read it carefully.
You have to download a zip file, in your case the Indian (RETIN) variant:
XT1686_POTTER_RETIN_8.1.0_OPS28.85-17-6-2_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
Unpack it to fastboot folder, use the flashallO.bat to flash the firmware.
Please clarify what image you're talking about and if you do the fastboot flash like described above please provide the recovery.log , you can do that in TWRP->advanced->copy log, if TWRP is installed.
Try to flash the firmware and immediately after that grab a log and attach it here.

Sry it's fastboot not adb .But the image i am trying to use is indian(retin) as you provided.And i followed all steps as they were given.
But i dont know how to get log files.
Also i would like to mention that this is my first time trying flashing a phone and as per my knowledge we have to install twrp recovery which i haven't done.its a normal phone with locked oem.

You don't need logs. Your phone is locked so you cannot flash twrp. Only thing you can do is flash using fastboot commands. Just download the firmware.. extract. Put all of those files in the adb folder and run the flashall.bat or individual commands like fastboot flash recovery recovery.img which ever you feel is easier for you.

That´s what I´ve said. If you would have TWRP you would be able to send a recovery.log but all you want to do is to flash a signed fastboot firmware. That´s possible without TWRP or unlocked bootloader, just by fastboot. Unzip the indian firmware
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
into your Mini ADB & Fastboot folder, place the flashallO.bat there too and double-click it, everything in fastboot mode as described before.
What happens when you do that? Are the commands executed in the command window of your Windows PC?
Can you make a screenshot of it? The guide I posted has everything you need in it, you have to tell me what happens when you try to flash the unzipped firmware.
Just to be clear, the firmware and everything has to be on your PC, not your moble device!
i tried to take screen shot of it but was unable to do it but was successful in copying the complete commands log in text file so here it is

Ok, that doesn't look to good.
The whole process is failing right at the start when the device is trying to build the partition table.
Have you tried different USB cables and ports?
Imo there are only two possible solutions:
Your device isn't working with fastboot correctly or its a hardware failure, the eMMC (the internal SD) may be corrupted. As your device is locked and hasn't been modded in any way this is the most plausible scenario also because it crashed out of the blue.
The only thing you can try yet is to use a different ADB and Fastboot tool, this one for example:
Minimal ADB & Fastboot:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/10NEzpxKpYWfq-HdK42ctwoEnCg-BfsRQ/view?usp=drivesdk
If all that changing of ports, cables and tools doesn't help you have to bring your device to a service center, they will most probably change the motherboard which isn't a cheap repair so if your device isn't under guarantee anymore you have to consider it it's worth the money.
Good luck!

So i tried with different fastboot software which you provided but i get the same errors .On phone when these commands run i get these messages failed to validate bootloader image and some thing called piv is also not able to be validated.
So i think its the end of my testing journey. Now can you please tell me how much chances are there for software issue. And is there any thing else i could.Any way i got to learn so many things through this but if is there anything left. Or should i go to service center

I think you've done everything that's possible.
The device wasn't rooted,modded,unlocked or something.
It showed the failure out of the blue.
You tried different fastboot tools, cables, ports and the correct firmware.
I asked someone with more knowledge about your log and the whole case and he is thinking the same as I do.
So the chance for a software problem is really small. I told you everything I know, maybe a service center has more options for software checks but as far as I know they use the good old Lenovo Motorola Software Assistant.
So I would recommend to go there and ask (before they do anything) what you have to pay if your eMMC is broken. Here in Germany they always change the whole motherboard, the costs are about the half of the price you paid for the device here.
If your still under guarantee it's a different story.
I'm sorry, I told you everything I know and I flashed my Moto G5+ several times.
My opinion is that the device has a hardware failure and visiting the service center is the only thing you could do now.
I really would like to give you better news.

Read this thread. You can flash signed Motorola firmware like discribed. If you don't want to lose your data you can try to omit the "erase user data" command. Just delete it out of the flashallO.bat.
