Hello. I have a XOLO Play Tegra Note 7.
A couple of days back I, in an attempt to flash a ROM that I downloaded from the NVIDIA website, I accidentally flashed a boot file from a CyanogenMod image that I downloaded for another purpose. Now, I'm neither able to flash the correct boot image (it is not recognised by adb) nor apply update through bootloader recovery (it says E:footer is wrong, E:signature verification failed). All that's happening is that its bootlooping.

Edit: All happy now, a change of pc solved the problem of not detecting the device!
Hi all! I have another challenge for you!
Right, I've got myself in a tizz with my Defy +. While updating between CM10.1 versions I found myself in a situation where I couldn't get past the boot animation. So I loaded the TWRP restore I had made prior to updating...
Except it wouldn't, instead it came up with 'Failed' each time I tried any of the TWRP backups I had created. So the next step was to wipe partitions and start flashing various ROMs until I found one what worked. Except they didn't work either. Eventually I thought the best idea would be to just turn the phone off and see where I was with booting.
So power on, boot logo, blue light, red light then... nothing. Just the boot logo static. Went into the custom bootloader to go into recovery again, nothing. Pressing Custom recovery simply loops back to the top bootloader screen.
Ok next step, flash .sbf and start from scratch. So into the Moto bootloader it is to plug in and flash except... it's no longer detected by my computer.
"Ok" I think, "We'll just flash files from the SD card after I use an external SD card reader.
Except now when I enter Moto recovery to flash the TWRP recovery I get:
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verifiaion failed
Installation aborted
So to recap:
1) Tried to flash and update, failed
2) Tried to recover, recoveries wouldn't write (I think this is becaue I'd changed to EXT4 on /data and /cache and had forgotten to go back to EXT3 before trying to recover)
3) Tried to boot, epicly failed
4) Tried to flash .sbf, Defy+ won't appear in RSDLite 5.7 with latest driver
5) Tried to flash from SD card, sig verification failed
6) Googletastic for the last four days
Notes:
a) I CAN charge the Defy+ using the wall charger but I get '?' for the battery level indicator but...
b) In Cmod bootloader 2.1 (Which I can use a little) it shows the correct battery level
c) I /was/ getting some errors with not being able to mount /cache from the moto recovery but I've since used the cmod bootmenu 2.1 to set it back to ext3 and it's all happy now, those errors aren't appearing
d) Plugging in my Defy red lens I get W8 x64 detecting the correct portal drivers and such but when I go to moto bootloader this device also doesn't appear in RSDLite
e) Both devices prompt windows to install a Motorola Flash Interface driver in Device Manager when plugged in in moto bootloader mode and neither device appears in RSDLite despite the fact the program is running in Admin mode
f) Looking at the logs in bootloader, it appears that I might not have formatted anything from ext4 to 3, everything I select in the cmod bootmenu returns .E:Error in /system/... , (Result: Invalid arguement) , Done..
So at the moment I think I need to acheive one of the following:
1) Find a file that allows me to write any useful data to /system like a recovery or some of those bootmenu files that passes the signature verification
2) Find a way to troubleshoot RSDLite so I can actually flash .sbf and get out of this hellhole
Many regards!
Alexis
If your custom recovery is not working, then you cannot do anything other than flash an sbf(nothing except data and cache wipe can be done via stock recovery): this is due to the locked boot loader(recoveries cannot be simply flashed from the stock recovery as you're trying to do)

Success (ish)!
Yes I swapped to a different machine and then upgraded the version of RSD Lite installed on it from 4.7 to 6.1.5

And flashed the 'lower' of the two .sbf's from the links on this forum for the British variant. After a DEA1 error (Phone is dead, code corrupt and all the bad things) I managed to flash the file.
As of yet I've not managed to get out of the bootloop but I've not carried out the requisite steps as mentioned in the "So you think you've bricked your Defy/Defy+" thread.
Lessons learned:
1) Motorola drivers and RSD Lite are pennickety, you will probably need to mix them up in order to get them to behave properly
2) If all else fails, use a different computer
3) You will probably need to flash over and over, while making every effort to not muck them up. Be aware the efuse system only has limited uses before it's useless though...
My saga continues, from no USB support hopefully to a fully working device again
In the end switching PC then doing the factory reset from moto recovery let the phone boot, all standard but the dodgy USB stuff at the first post is what sent me away from the right track.
Hi there! I have this question which I'd love to have answered because I've been on this issue for around 2 days straight.
Long story short:
Tried to flash custom recovery using fastboot, didn't work because bootloader locked
Kept on trying the unlocker apps, none of them even installed fully (THIS WAS WHEN I WAS STILL ON LOLLIPOP)
Somehow, at some point, I just randomly rebooted and BOOM THERE WAS TWRP (Sorry, I don't remember how exactly I managed that. As far as I remember, I was only using fastboot and nothing else)
Flashed CM 14.1 unofficial, device gave an error message regarding boot.img (something like "could not load boot.img"
Used stock ROM to flash OTA Android 6.1
Now the Asus unlocker app downloads but on reboot it says "error: unlock fail !!!"
Obviously, fastboot is unable to flash a recovery right now. I tried ignoring the error message and rebooting to recovery to stop the device from loading the stock recovery again but the device still loads the stock recovery.
I'm really tired
P.S: NO, there is no Enable OEM option in my Developer Options menu and YES, I have all the drivers necessary.
Did you get anywhere with this? I have a similar problem except that I couldn't flash Android 6.1 because the vendor had flashed WW 5.0.2 on a CN phone without also updating the CN recovery to WW. So the update failed its consistency check.
I've got TWRP on there now, but can't unlock the bootloader in 5.0.2 - I think this is why TWRP can't flash anything. It can't see the update files, won't switch to external SD, etc. .
I also found and tried flashing a WW recovery but that didn't work either. I'm wondering now if I got the 615 software by mistake.
Hello,
I have a problem that I can flash TWRP wich works fine. I can go to fastboot. But however I am not able to install any ROMs. Tried Lineage 14.1 and Stock rom.
I tried to flash stock recovery and tried to flash it back by "dload" method - error "Package firmware is not compatible" and when I tried to flash Lineage 14.1, everything seemed fine until boot logo where I was stuck for half an hour before I gave up. Also I am not sure but I think I havent managed to root my phone - tested with "adb shell su" wich gives error messages.'
Even tried hisuite recovery but it said that my phone is not supported.
Tried erecovery wich said "Getting package info failed"
I also can enter stock recovery
Im also getting
Failed to mount /vendor (invalid argument) in olddroid TWRP
and when trying to flash system I get FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)
So basically only thing I can do is be in TWRP without root, fastboot and stock recovery.
I have european VNS-21. Used to have stock nougat with EMUI 5.0
Any ideas how to get back any kind of rom?
Edited original post instead of posting new replies. Sorry. Dont know how to delete.
Urgent help needed as I'm leaving the country at the end of the week o any help is appreciated!
Just successfully rooted my device:
Black, Unlocked, PRA-LX1, UK, Dual SIM
After doing so successfully, I attempted to flash LineageOS from the following link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/p8-lite-2017-development/rom-lineageos-15-1-hi6250-devices-t3811583
Although when I completed Step 6 on the Installation guide and rebooted the phone, I started seeing the message:
------------------
ERROR MODE
Attention!
Please update system again
(Green Android picture)
Error!
Func NO : 11 (recovery image)
Error NO : 2 (load failed!)
------------------
Despite this, I didn't receive a box with my phone due to being second hand, and I didn't see the model number on the receipt as it was from a reselling store. I didn't remember to note down the specific model number
It'd be extremely helpful if someone could possibly help just from the device description above as I'm not sure if it's safe for me to just attempt to flash every stock rom for every other LX1 device out there.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Update:
To restore this, I connected via fastboot with a working USB & flashed an original stock recovery in the video found here
(Just in case their download link ever goes down, I have uploaded the same copy to my MEGA, found here)
The recovery installed fine when using the command
fastboot flash recovery oeminfo.img

Click to collapse
Whenever trying to flash any other recovery such as twrp before this fastboot stuck on a loading icon.
The stock recovery seems to be downloading the original firmware, too.
PRA-LX1C432B202 is presumably the model.
Both the bootloader and FRA were unlocked when everything else was inaccessible.
Looks like the custom ROM's recovery that you've flashed is not compatible with PRA-LX1. Try to flash stock recovery. If not working, then flash stock firmware.
Thanks @Botar230!
I didn't see your comment until just now after deciding to edit this post since I've gotten a step closer to restoring my device.
Your solution was the method I used although I didn't know my phone model, so I found a random solution which just worked for my device, and the eRecovery seems to be downloading the stock firmware anyways. Thanks again
Before flashing this lineage os you should update to EMUI8 to get treble support, i suppose you was running EMUI5, hence the error mode.
While flashing pixel experience plus rom, the device did not boot up correctly causing a google loading screen which did not change even after an hour. At that time i realised that the rom didn’t flash correctly, or the rom might have some faults. So I rebooted my mobile in custom recovery mode to flash the stock rom, but it did not complete the flash, it generated error 7. So I tried to install havoc rom and I encountered the same problem. Not just that I have tried installing at least 5 rom which gives me the same problem. I can’t even flash my recovery rom. It generates the same errors which include error 7 and invalid zip file. So I tried solving this problem by unzip the rom and editing the assert script and re zipping the file, and I encounter the same errors. I have even tried using a different custom recovery like TWRP and red wolf (latest updated version), but I face the same errors. The mobile has no os installed and it doesn’t allow me to install any rom. It only allows me to install stock recovery and other custom recovery by using Fastboot mode. I have tried add sideload through the custom recovery and the mobile gets detected, but it gives the same errors.
So I tried using QFIL application as the mobile was a Qualcomm device. The mobile gets detected as 9008. And I tried to download the program files on the mobile, but then it gives me a Sahara fail error.
I have tried to do it multiple times and I end up getting the same error.
The device has a unlocked boot loader but it was never rooted.
Please help me.
Can’t post it in the developer forum for this device as I don’t meet the requirements for posting it

1. 1st try to flash fastboot rom,
after install fastboot rom if the phone stuck on asus logo or any other error then
2.Try to install Qfll file (select ww_no_fsg.xml file) after successful installation , boot your phone.
3. again connect your phone fastboot mode and flash fastboot rom
If every installation is successfully done then i am sure that your phone is boot properly in stock rom with lock bootloader.
because I faced same issue,
remember 1st try to install stock fastboot rom and then try to flash Qfil files
Wish you good luck :good:
Try flashing fw063 before flashing your custom rom.(that fixed for me)
if it didn't work try this (rooted):-
