I got an engineering machine, but it can't work

I got an engineering machine,
Interface is a native of Android. No,SN.The rest are all the same
Restore factory settings.it reboot, can't work.
Now,How I can get it to fastboot or working .

I think something like this happened with the cr48 Google Chrome netbooks last year someone got one by mistake and I think it helped out being able to flash an alternate bios.
Might want to hold on to this could be a important tool to help the developers out.

yes this is how the hp touchpad got android cyanhogen7mod can you do a full system dump with adb commands and post it here this is very crucial devs where are you.

Contact @agrabren (twitter) he put TWRP on the KF and he apparently knows how to boot this thing into fastboot. Furthermore, if you can get into adb you might try pulling out a rom dump and other stuff for development purposes.

I suggest to install the Android ask and use the following fastboot commands.
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
*change recovery.img to whatever filename the recovery is and put it in the same directory as your fastboot.
This way you'll learn what a "rootkit" does and be on your way to learning more .

Fastboot mode within bootloader i believe.

Why cant I flash custom recovery on 4.3?

I downloaded the latest twrp recovery and put the file in my platform tools. (also renamed it to twrp.img) and I go into fastboot mode. Run cmd in my platform tools directory and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and I get this message twrp.img no error. Im following a youtube video and the guy does the same thing im doing and his works..

Does it do the same with CWM?

1. Is your bootloader unlocked?
Use "fastboot oem unlock" to unlock your phone's bootloader. Be warn that it will wipe everything if you do not use "fastboot format cache" afterwards.
2. Can you see your device after you run command "fastboot devices"?
Install the fastboot drivers, download google usb driver here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

I just flashed it last night without any problems but I renamed the file recovery.img. You sure you have version 2.6 for the Nexus 4? TWRP has different recoveries for each device.
---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------
Here's another thing to check. Make sure you didn't rename the file twrp.img.img as windows hides extensions by default. In my case when I renamed the file recovery I didn't have to add the extension .img as it was already there.

If you're rooted, try this method:
1. Boot to Android system.
2. Enable USB Debugging
3. Connect your phone with USB.
4. Run the command below:
Code:
adb push twrp.img /sdcard/twrp.img
adb shell
5. Next, get root permission and flash the recovery.
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
6. After confirming every steps, boot into recovery.
Code:
adb reboot recovery

Thanks guys i just used a toolkit and I have twrp for 4.3 now

[GUIDE] How To Enter Fastboot Mode

This is the method tried on H815T model. But I think this should work with also other H815 models (other devices cannot say). Thanks to @autoprime, @thecubed and @Unjustified Dev for this.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if your device gets into any more trouble for this.
Steps:
1. Download & clean install LG Drivers in your pc if u don't have it already.
2. Go into download mode by presing down the UP button and connecting the usb cable to the pc.
3. Go into LG ROOT folder. see this link to download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
4. Double click on ports.bat to know your COM port. Let's say it's COM4.
5. Open a windows command promt by Shift+Rt Click into the Lg Root folder.
6. Now send these commands:
Code:
Send_Command.exe \\.\COM4
It will reply
Code:
SPECIAL COMMAND : ENTER , LEAVE
#
7. Now command type
Code:
id
It should reply
Code:
uid=(0)root gid=(0)root
#
8. Now type
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero bs=8192 seek=35840 count=5120 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
It will reply
Code:
#
9. Now pull out your battery, put it back in, go into HARD RESET mode by pressing down DOWN BUTTON+POWER BUTTON together and when the LG logo apprears, release the power button for a second and press it back again.
10. Now in HARD RESET, it will ask you whether you want to reset everything or not. Select "No" and it will take you to fastboot mode.
Special note:
1. @autoprime told me to factory reset everything before starting this whole process. I did as my bootloader was locked. Don't know how it affects in unlocked bootloader.
2. How to get out of fastboot normally: I don't know it quitely. My bootloader was locked, so neither I could flash any system file through fastboot, nor "fastboot reboot" or "fastboot reboot bootloader" worked for me. @autoprime told me to get out of fastboot, manually go into download mode, then pull out your battery and put back in. Actually you can't get out of the fastboot that way until you flash a KDZ.
Thank u. Reply in the comments if fastboot could help you any.

Hi,
Thank you very much for this Guide. Unfortunately, having tried to unbrick my device (H815) previously by hard resetting and not having access to Android to re-activate ADB, the Shell (Send_command.exe) didn't help me (at every command it returns a "FAIL" message, my phone is recognized by Windows by the way).
So I couldn't get into Fastboot by following this Guide.
Hope it works for others, waiting for results!

You couldn't get into fastboot or u couldn't flash anything in fastboot? I cannot make my device recognised in adb too, but it is recognised in fastboot. U need to have the adb and fastboot setup in your pc. But I couldn't flash anything in fastboot as it shows my device is locked although someone said, theoritically it was supposed to flash system files through fastboot.

I couldn't get into Fastboot at all. Any command typed in send_command.exe gives "Fail" as result... Phone is connected in Download Mode and recognized in Windows, DIAG1 port is COM4.

This does not work for me, I have an unlocked bootloader, but just get the response "FAIL".

And... Why don't you just zero the laf partition instead through an adb shell? What does this do that's different?

If we can get into fastboot, can we then do something like
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
to get into a custom type recovery and do a backup? I'm on the AT&T H810 version, locked bootloader, I don't know if that means a big fat NO lol or if this method of getting into fastboot mode would even work on my variant.

no one should be wiping laf or recovery to get into fastboot. it's a dumbed down fastboot that doesn't let anything flash or boot. the directions I gave OP were in a PM as a last resort because he was stuck in download mode with no booting and wanted to try fastboot. It was never meant to be suggested in public to users who might think they can get anywhere with it.

It's good

Holly molly sir! You are a legend. Long story not so short. My lg got the bootloop bug. Took 2 months to fix, but apparently they changed my locked to three uk H815 "eu open" motherboard with actually unlocked one. So I was finally able to unlock boot-loader, root and **** up (LOL). Apparently I didn't install twrp properly (you'd think "fastboot boot twrp.img" would not install it but run it once) And i was following this to get Android M on. But it requires reboot before boot-loader is flashed. Right when i clicked reboot i figured it wont start in twrp but in stock recovery. So I couldn't even get proper bootloop, it would cut half way into the LG logo. I reckon kdz-ing would havedone the trick, but god it takes ages to DL the kdz file. So in the mean time i found this legendary post. The odd thing was i had to click Yes, on the factory reset screen, but it got me to "Fastboot mode started" and from there i booted into twrp and finished what it had started, currently its Optimising app 35 of 55. Nice one OP, Nice One!

Installing TWRP after May update

Hi all,
Sorry if this is covered elsewhere but I cannot find it.
I successfully installed the May 2016 updates and now I am trying to get root back. I followed the usual steps for installing TWRP
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery .\recovery\twrp-3.0.2-0-clark.img
fastboot reboot
No errors seen...
Now if I try to reboot into recovery I get the "No command" page. If I then follow the power button and volume up keypress sequence, I am taken to the original recovery and not TWRP.
Any clues what I am doing wrong? I tried this several times today and no joy (yet all the other updates, I have had no problem getting TWRP and root installed).
Thanks.

You have to immediately boot into TWRP after flashing or the system will overwrite it with the stock recovery.

Thanks for that. Exactly the hint I needed.

Question
Would you mind telling me what steps you took to get the May update? It's so small that I'm reluctant to do anything major to get it and I'm debating on whether to just flash the stock recovery to give that a try, or whether I'm going to have to flash the unrooted image I've saved using TWRP, then flash stock recovery, then get the OTA. Seems like a lot of work for a tiny update.

If you have modified the system in any form, such as using Xposed, then OTA will fail. If the system image is stock that has never been rooted, in theory you should have no issues with stock recovery installed. The OTA is the May security update. Whether you feel it is necessary or not is up to you.

Don't run the last command:

Select to reboot into recovery from the menu. If you're getting No command, you may need to flash the stock recovery then reboot the recovery. You should have the menu back. Flash TWRP and reboot into recovery to start TWRP.

Umm... OK... No offense to @Rapscallion16 but why are you using a generic toolkit on the Moto X??? It has been mentioned many times that using one click tools and other toolkits is not safe with this and most newer Moto devices, doing it manually is pretty simple.
Anyway, glad you got it working. Enjoy...
