broke something again

I didn't think that I'd ever brick my phone and NOT be able to recover it. I've got a real brick now. I don't have a dev cable another battery or an external charger. I wanted to unlock the bootloader. I made some kind of error and now I have SVF:105:1:2
Failed to boot 0x1000
no OS detected, going to RSD mode.
Battery too low to flash.
If i try for android recovery I get Magic Value mismatch in red letters followed by
Reading ODM fuse: 1
any way around this until I can figure out how to get the battery charged up?

How did you get this error?

Did you get it flashing pudding? If so all you need to to is type the fastboot commands and then fastboot reboot

flashing zomgunlock-lite sbf. I just now have the unlocked bl 4.5.91 sbf that was posted in the forums. I have the full screen menu. I tried to use fastboot oem unlock but, it was not unlocking. will the phone charge without being turned on? I normally always use a wall usb charger or usb cable to computer to charge the phone turned on. I have rsd lite 5.3.1

Are you familiar with fastboot?

As far as i know, thats the code or hard bricking. Meaning "kaput"

I just unlock my bootloader with my battery at 30%. N now i have Ninja!!

If you got it while flashing "pudding" and can still get into fastboot, then the fastboot OEM unlock should fix it.

I got the SBF and now I'm waiting on an external battery charger to arrive. once thats here I'll be able to RSD the sbf. At least I haven't tried to downgrade the system. I'm seeing threads everywhere of hard bricks. This same error but without any of the options to fix anything, no menu options.

This happened to me. Borrow a charged battery..and choose option 2 for fastboot and type in the fastboot commands.

which fastboot commands? the fastboot oem unlock? was it that or something else?

1. Charge the battery to full with an external charger
2. Turn off phone (of course is off )
3. Press vol down while you turn on
4. Wait until "fastboot" tag show up
5. Press vol up to select fastboot
6. Now you phone is in fastboot mode
7. Connect USB to pc
8. Now run fastboot commands as follow:
fastboot OEM unlock
It will show up your unique id #
re type
fastboot OEM unlock "your unique id#"
And then
fastboot reboot
By the way you must have fastboot command files
Easy way download my script AUTOMATIC_UNLOCKV3.3 and unzip to your hard disk and just run the file "fix.bat"
I hope it help

[Q] OTA bootloader issue????

okay, so Im new here, literally just traded my thrill for the atrix about an hour ago. Now, i see that there are people being bricked by trying to unlock their bootloader after the OTA update, it was already updated when i got it. So, my question is... what the hell can i do to unlock the bootloader and NOT brick my phone?? I would really like to unlock it. Also, if i do not unlock my bootloader, can i still install CWM and flash ROMs??

If you have an AT&T Atrix, use this (I received the phone with stock 2.3.4, 4.5.91)- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 . Super easy and worked great for me.
If not, read the Noob guide on top of the General Forum.

You need to unlock the bootloader first before you can do anything.

Have to either root and the install ROM Mangers from the market, or install Rom Racers via fastboot (in the dev section).
Unlocking bootloader is pretty easy. There's a stupid scrpit to do it now... see my signature for noob guide for links.

Fastboot mode = turn phone off
Hold power button.and volume down
Until u see. Fastboot then press volume up to select it should read starting fastboot protocal
Plug in your USB. Cable that came with the phone open terminal and type fastboot oemunlock
Then do it again with the unique I'd. And hit enter

stock nexus 7 stuck in boot loop

i read that it can be fixed by unlocking and rooting. problem is it is a friends and he doesn't know what version of android is on it. also can't put it in usb debugging.

Install this using Fastboot which does not require USB debugging. Simply download the factory images package then extract into the ADB folder. Typing "flash-all.bat" will flash all stock images including the boot, recovery, system and data.

thank you that worked

waiting for device

I tried doing this and looked pretty promising because I have the same exact problem, but the terminal just says that it is waiting for device and does not budge. I have tried rebooting both computer and device. Neither work. Any other suggestions?
I tried again and now it says erasing 'boot'... and hangs there..
Is there any way to enable USB debugging or ADB through the command line fastboot?

Is your bootloader unlocked? If not boot into fastboot mode and type the command fastboot OEM unlock follow the prompt on the tablet and it will reboot now try the flashall.bat again. There is no way to enable USB debugging without selecting it from the menu that's a question that has been asked many times before

No. Sorry I forgot to mention that. My bootloader is not unlocked. And when I tried to do the fastboot OEM unlock, that is the only time the screen changes and gives me the option to unlock. When I scroll to yes and push the power button, the terminal says erasing user data and then it just gets stuck there.
I suspect that there is some kind of reading or writing problem.

OK if the bootloader won't unlock that sounds like a corrupted nand partition which would mean the internal memory is unwritable. One more suggestion try downloading wugfresh NRT use the unroot back to stock option tick soft bricked and force write. I'm not sure it will work with a locked bootloader.

I have attached a screen shot of what I got when I tried the NRT unroot. It appears as though you were right, and that it is not going to work with a locked bootloader.

OK well it looks like you are at the new motherboard stage then. Fastboot OEM unlock failing is a pretty sure sign that the internal memory of your nexus has become corrupted and it is no longer possible to read from or write to the tablet. If you have warranty now would be a good time to use it. If not eBay is a relatively cheap place to get a replacement motherboard. Sorry I can't be of more help than that

Thats means your device is not detected, Did you check device manager in your computer? Is is showing your mobile as Qualcomm 9008?? If it is not please follow the steps on the website, I already given. No need wait 1 hr. If your device is detected, then you can see a green line, and it will finish within 5mnts.

Anything else i can try. I am stuck in this big problem. When my phone switches off, the only way i can boot is by going to FASTBOOT and running command "fastboot continue" only then my phone boots.
Please help.

Problem Solved

Deep problem
I have gone through all the unbrick guides, even with a Oneplus technician but we weren't able to unbrick it. I'm guessing that after the oxygen 3.0.2 update, I wiped out the partition (not sure). The phone was unlocked with some TWRP version before that. I totally forgot to update it the right way. I can get use fastboot to go into the OS, but trying to flash doesn't work since it's locked. Trying to unlock it supposedly works but it remains locked. We tried the Qualcomm drivers, installed the certificates and the device is seen as Qualcomm 9800 yadda, yadda, yadda, but the MSM8994DownloadTool.exe doesn't detect the device, therefore it stays there doing nothing. Yes, we changed the developer options in the settings but nothing seems to work. The LTE doesn't work properly either...it shows an exclamation mark, so I have to switch to 3G. I'm in dire need of help, and if anyone can help me, you'd certainly qualify for a master tech support agent or something cause not even they could help me with this. Thanks in advance if any of you can help! I'm using a Windows 10 on a Mac, using Parallels VM...

Unlocking your device is failing because you haven't ever enabled Allow OEM Unlock or USB Debugging from within the OS. The only way you will be able to unlock the phone is to get it to boot into the OS first, and going into Developer Options to toggle these two settings on. You may be able to use the method linked above to briefly get your phone booted into the OS long enough so you can do this. If you are lucky enough to accomplish this, then you can disable the big cores using a custom kernel.

You have to try either of those two methods (extreme heat or extreme cold) to see if you can get it to boot even for a couple minutes. Neither method is quick nor do you have time to mess around once the phone finally boots. You can only upgrade with a locked bootloader. So you are stuck unless you are under warranty or can try the fix.

I'm at work so I can't watch your video. I don't recommend opening up a device if you aren't technically sound enough to follow whatever the instructions are. So, try at your own risk and loss of warranty.

Hey man, here is what I did though my device was rooted/unlocked/custom kernal (EX)
- Put the phone on charge
- Switch on, let it bootloop, eventually it booted [takes a day at times]
- Backup if you need to (eg. ADB pull).
- I have EX manager so I enabled power save mode which disables the 4 big cores. As long as the phone doesn't reboot or die no bootloops.

You will need to get into the OS somehow to toggle the dev settings. Otherwise you will not be able to unlock the bootloader. You will not be able to apply the fix (flash custom kernel) with a locked bootloader, and there is no way to unlock it unless your phone can boot. There are a few "tricks" to use with the heatgun/hairdryer that force the phone into limp mode so it will boot into the OS. Others have claimed that once booted, they have enabled "power savings" under settings>>battery and that prevents the phone from going back into the looping. Keep trying, and good luck with the hairdryer!

but seems to me it's a fault on the software ... a bug or a glitch, because it came at the end of february! or a malware of some kind!

If it's a software issue best thing to do is completely wipe your phone. Easiest way is to install Twrp and wipe all incuding internal then flashing fresh stock image. I'm sure there is fastboot commands also to erase (or some other way if can't do neither.) This will remove every last thing from your phone so make sure if you are able to back up pics,docs,downloads,music etc. Last thing though don't think it's causes issues make sure your flashing the right version of February stock image Google finally labled them. Or March if it's out.

Hello Friends,
I got the bootloop problem on my nexus 6p from the last few days.
I Google it to solve the problem with various methods but I am unable to solve the problem. I tried command fastboot flashing unlock but I am getting remote: device is locked. I am unable to unlock usb debugging and oem through fastboot command prompt. When I write command fastboot devices then I get the serial number and when I write the command adb devices then I failed to get the device. I am also unable to get recovery mode.
here is some details of my nexus 6p
BL: angler-03.68
baseband: angler-03.81
product/variant: ANGLER-ROW-VN1
Serial Number: XXXXXXXXXXX
CPU: MSM8994 0x20001
eMMC: 64GB Samsung
DRAM: 3072MB SAMSUNG LPDDR4
Console: ttyHSL0,115200,n8
Battery ok
Device is LOCKED.
Qfuse status: ENABLED.
off-mode-charge: ENABLED.
Download Mode: DISABLED.
Connect USB Data Cable
can you guys help me to overcome this problem and install the new android os.
Looking for your response.
Thank You guys.

Hello, you describe a cluster A57 failure, to fix it you need to boot into your phone enough time to enable USB debugging and OEM unlock then flash a modified kernel or a modified ramdisk
See this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-fix-nexus-6p-bootloop-death-blod-t3640279/
To boot into your device you need to overheat the CPU so the software will shutdown the faulty A57 clusters to cool down the device as soon as it boot up enable USB debugging and OEM unlock before the A57 clusters goes online (because it will shutdown your device) once you succeed enable USB debugging and OEM unlock flash modified files and enjoy your working (but slower) N6P
I had that problem too, but wasn't able to live thinking that my phone was working with CPU issues, so I bought an other Nexus 6P from a guy on the internet, he was selling it because the screen was broken, I got it for real cheap ! I swapped the screen of my BLOD N6P to the one from the guy, it cost me 60$ to completely fix my phone (way less than buying a new phone or buying a new microprocessor)

Hy!
Already done that... Today It comes back from service, they told me they replaced the PCB ... so... it could be a hardware problem or a malware of some kind that ruins the memory... that's what i think about those problem, but i suspect google has something to do whit it!
So... i'll get back to you when I will have IT! :fingers-crossed:

bootloop can't unlock device
I have had exactly the same problem. I tried in vain using heat or cold to get the thing to boot, but independently found the method of leaving it on charge for a few days, occasionally it will get into the O/S.
So while in the O/S I enabled developer options and adb too (the second time) and unlocked the bootloader.
However it still claims to be "device is LOCKED" in recovery mode. This is really weird. I have also factory reset the phone but that hasn't helped.
Luckily I have read the other posts about power saving mode so I'll try that next, it will save having to flash a non-stock OS.

When people ask why unlocking the bootloader is important to me, this specific situation comes to mind. If you had unlocked your device you could have fixed this easily, mind you you would lose 4 cores.

*** I ran into a similar catch-22 issue on my 6P (H1511) the dreaded bootlooping with OEM Unlock turned OFF. ***
*** Couldn't flash the phone because OEM Unlock was off, and couldn't turn OEM Unlock on because it was bootlooping. ***
*** You MUST be able to fix the bootlooping/freezing at least temporarily, in order to turn on OEM Unlock in Developer Options ***
I have tried the "squeezing" method to no avail.
Then tried the heating method, which worked to a point where it has reached the color circles while booting, but then it started looping again.
I figured there's nothing to loose, so I cranked up the heat on the digital heating plate to exactly 140 Celsius for about 10 minutes covered with a paper towel, with only the upper half of the phone's back touching the heating plate (no need to "cook" the lower part with the battery).
It was still looping after the circles appeared, BUT by leaving it to cool off for about an hour, it has finally booted up into the setup page, so I quickly went to Settings > About/Phone/Software Info > clicked the "Build" line 7 times to enable Developer Options, under which I enabled OEM Unlock and ADB Debug.
If it's still bootlooping, you may try to "freezing" method where you would put the phone into the deep freezer for about an hour.
However, heating has worked for me.
Following that, in FastBoot mode I entered the following 3 versions of the flash unlock commands (only one will work out of the 3 which is fine):
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Downloaded the latest full stock firmware directly from Google.
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/angler-opm6.171019.030.b1-factory-ab13a98b.zip
Unzip it, and run flash-all.bat
Once the flashing has finished, DO NOT let it boot up, instead hold down the Volume Down as it's about to reboot, which will kick it into bootloader/fastboot mode.
I have tried flashing the Osmosis zip to patch the boot but it didn't work, it was still bootlooping.
So I have flashed a pre-patched 4-Core Boot kernel to fix the bootlooping issue permanently.
For Android 8.1 OPM6.171019.030 flash this 4-Core Boot with the commands below:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=13356325061477269711
fastboot flash boot Huawei_H1511_6P_OPM6.171019.030_Boot_4Core.IMG
fastboot reboot-bootloader
At this point flash a 4-Cores patched TWRP, go into TWRP recovery (hold down Volume Down + Power for 10 seconds, Volume Down to "Recovery", Power) and first "format" Data, then "wipe" Cache, Dalvik-Cache, and Data.
Note, all information on your phone will be lost by the above format/wipe operation.
All done, hope this method may help some of you.
And here are some interesting FastBoot commands I've come across....
C:\ADB>fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability
(bootloader) 1
OKAY [ 0.018s]
Finished. Total time: 0.019s
C:\ADB>fastboot getvar all
(bootloader) version:0.01
(bootloader) unlocked:yes
(bootloader) hardware-revision:ANGLER-VN2
(bootloader) version-baseband:angler-03.87
(bootloader) version-bootloader:angler-03.79
(bootloader) display-panel:
(bootloader) charger-screen-enabled:0
(bootloader) max-download-size: 0x1d800000
(bootloader) partition-type:cache:ext4
(bootloader) partition-size:cache: 0x6400000
(bootloader) partition-type:userdata:ext4
(bootloader) partition-size:userdata: 0xdaa17ee00
(bootloader) partition-type:system:ext4
(bootloader) partition-size:system: 0xc0000000
(bootloader) serialno:8XV5T15C11000453
(bootloader) kernel:lk
(bootloader) product:angler
all:
Finished. Total time: 0.172s
Instead of "fastboot getvar all", you can also use "fastboot getvar <variable>" (without the quotes and <>)
Any <variable> from the log above, between "(bootloader)" and the second ":"
For example:
fastboot getvar serialno
Enjoy!

My nexus 6P recently went through this bootloop,
Google screen coming up and stuck there, for 5 days, i was going through many possible solutions throughout the web, but they all said it must boot to OS to be able to unlock oem bootloader,
Finally stuck at extreme heat or cold, extreme heat did'nt work for me, but YES extreme cold did actually work, i kept it in the deep freezer for about half an hour, and then waited 2 min, and plugged the charging cable and powered ON the phone, to my astonishment, it did start and i was able to use the phone.
I have rebooted several times since then, it works fine for certain time, and then crashes and restarts all the time, i can still use th phone but its uncertain when it will restart again.
I tried to install new custom rom, but it still says DEVICE IS LOCKED and i cannot do anything else.
