hello,
today i downloaded the Android 5.0 Image from Google and wanted to flash it.
i extraced the tgz file and flashed the boot.img and system.img via fastboot.
so far so good. i reboot the tabelt and it has a bootloop.
so i used the flash-all.bat included in the tgz file but it wont flash it (didnt copied the error message)
so i tried flashing 4.4.4. but when i flash anything it wont work (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img for example)
i tried differend usb ports and with fastboot devices it shows my device.i tried rebooting the laptop and the tablet. no changes
example
Code:
C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\nakasi-lrx21p>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (5682 KB)...
after 20 min of waiting nothing changes.
my setup:
a laptop with windows 8.1
all drivers installt
original nexus 7 usb cable
drivers are working fine. i often flashed something on the n7 and my m7 bevor on this laptop
Code:
C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\nakasi-lrx21p>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (5146 KB)...
FAILED (command write failed (Invalid argument))
finished. total time: 0.001s
thats a error message i get when something more happens then "sending 'xxx' (xxx kb)
Code:
FAILED (data transfer failure (Too many links))
finished. total time: 85.114s
now i managed to flash recovery (TWRP)
but i cant do anything there. in the pc its not listet (adb devices) and in the log of TWRP it says
Code:
E:Unable to mount '/data'
E:Unable to mount '/system'
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
E:Unable to mount '/data'
now i got in TWRP (changing to Clockworkmod Recovery doesnt change anything) and got to Wipe-> Advanced
there i tried to repair the partions . doesnt works. but if i format it that works and could be mounted again. (in system i have to format it in an different file format and back to ext4)
so now i flashed the rom (stock 5.0 from google) and it boots... waiting whats coming next....

i have the same problem how did you format it and did it fix the problem
do you have TWRP ?
you go to wipe-> advanced
there you can choose which repair and format.
ive formated one by one and then it shows the size after formating.
now my tablet booted into android (i think its ugly) but iam afraid going in the recovery
Hello,
I'll start off by apologizing for being a noob. I tried to follow the instructions found here but somehow I got stuck in a state where my NP won't boot up. It is stuck at the Google black screen with an unlock icon. I tried to flash the 2.1 Lollirock rom and now i'm stuck in this state.
I have the NP plugged in and can get to the bootloader screen but I can't seem to figure out how to fix this. I downloaded the boot.img and system.img files from the Lollirock XDA page.
Steps I did:
At the bootloader page -
1) fastboot oem unlock (twice)
2) the bootloader screen then said it was unlocked
3) flashboot boot boot.img
4) flashboot flash system system.img
5) flashboot -w
Everything was successful with no errors so I put enabled Normal Boot in the bootloader and it just sits at the Google screen for about a minute and loops.
I tried to download fugu-lmy48n-factory-3b9d8638.tgz from the nexus stock image page and tried flashboot flash system fugu-lmy48n-factory-3b9d8638.tgz and got the error:

I unzipped the TGZ file and tried with the TAR file and got the same error.
Then I flashed CM Recovery and that worked and I can get into CM Recovery thinking I can just update with the CM12.1 rom. The problem is that I don't have the zip on the device's sd card so I had to push from ADB by doing -
ADB sideload cm-12.1-20150520-UNOFFICIAL-fugu.zip
and it starts and goes for about 46% and stops with CM Recovery stating:
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I googled this and people said to turn off signature verification since most roms are signed but I can't find any instructions on how to do that....
I also found an OTA zip of 6.0 and when updating from CM via ADB sideload, it gives me the error:
E: Error in /sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
So that's where I'm at....not sure what to do next so any help you guys can provide would GREATLY be apprciated. Thanks!!!
Disregard, I think I got it figured out. I guess I was in stock recover and not in CM Recovery. Flashed CM Recovery again and I was able to flash CM12.1. RIght now it's sitting at the loading screen with the happy blue android face.

So the easiest way is to restore the boot and system partition to the original S000725 version using fastboot and then install the update, but only if you are on S000725 now. If you are sure that you didn't modify the system partition (any root app installed system less) then the boot partition is sufficient. Flashing these two partitions will not delete your apps and settings.
Here is what to do:
Download the factory image S000725 for your tablet (see first post of TWRP thread) and make sure your current software version is S000725
Extract it and get the boot.img and system.img files
restart into fastboot mode (e.g. via adb reboot bootloader, or restart the tablet with volume up key pressed)
Execute fastboot on your PC connected to the tablet with the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If the system partition was modified you will have to do the same for system
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
If TWRP is flashed you also have to restore the recovery partition
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You can also install the factory image via the supplied flash tool. But we're not 100% sure it is safe wrt. DRM keys
Sometimes the flashing of such large partitions as the system partitions can fail in which case you have to do it again until it works. If you run into a bootloop after flashing the boot.img your system partition is not original and you have to flash the system.img again
EDIT: Ok I see you are on S000691 in which case you need a factory image of that version

Thank you！
I'm wondering whether I have to root again after restoring the boot and system partitions.
I got the OTA update package, can I flash it directly via recovery? I have rooted my tablet.

Well first unroot by flashing boot and system, then install update in Lenovo recovery. Yes it's possible to do that. Then when the update installed successfully you can root again with TWRP and SuperSU.
brothers, I skipped system verifying by editing updater-script, but the OTA still failed because signature verifying failed.
Anyone knows how to skip signature verifying?
If we can skip that, we may install ota update package manually while the device is rooted.

hi! how can i make a backup of my currently partitions (before rooting and so on) to make possible flash them back with "fastboot flash ..."?
is the command
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system of=/sdcard1/system.img
makes the image compatible with "fastboot flash ..." command? or i have to convert it somehow?
P.s. yes i know about restoring with command "dd if=/sdcard1/system.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system", but i want to have other ways to retreat

In TWRP (via adb or TWRP terminal) you can use the command that you listed to make backups of existing partitions. The system partition is a bit special though. The dd command will give you the raw partition image. Fastboot, however, expects the system partition in sparse format. To convert you need the tool "img2simg".
The other partitions are expected in raw format by fastboot.
Unless you have a special firmware version you don't have to create these backups since we have factory images which contain exactly these partition images. Boot, recovery and system partitions are the same for all devices with the same device variant and software version.

Hello,
Tried "adb reboot bootloader" but it only stuck with Lenovo logo. So I tried to flash boot.img using app.
Now stuck with boot loop. Manage to go into Recovery Mode - Is there any way I could restore anything from Recovery? .zip

Hi guys,
I got n OTA update. I only did the root process from https://forum.xda-developers.com/th...ta-twrp-root-disable-encryption-yoga-t3538017 before.

The fastboot mode (bootloader) only shows the Lenovo logo. So this is expected. If you get a bootloop you also have to flash system.img via fastboot. So do the adb reboot bootloader again and use fastboot tool on the PC to do the flashing

Same thing. Your system partition is not original that's why you have the boot loop. You have to flash the original version via fastboot.

Since I already flashed boot.img yesterday, continue with system & recovery. I didn't know that Download mode will only shows Lenovo logo. Normally it will shows what running on the background. Did as told and manage to recover. Sadly I've wiped cache & data in Recovery yesterday, now back to square 1. But at least better than bricked device. Thank you.

the only way that my tablet can to be recognized in my computer is with sideload. I'll try with that method.

PS: I used at the end the Multiflashtool and now my tablet works perfectly
if someone has the parallel problem, here is the solution: http://www.mediafire.com/download/58upc51o93ux2f4/Archivo+StargetDawn.rar
just install and execute the multiflash program.

Well it seems you have to request the backup again. system.ext4 is a file based backup. This will not restore to a 100% original system image. The person who provided this for you has to run it again and select "system image" instead of "system" when creating the backup. This will then be a binary copy of the system partition.
Once you have that you should create a backup using TWRP on your own device with boot and system image selected onto an external SD card. Don't forget to boot TWRP with system left read only. Then you replace the *.win* files (also the .md5 files) on you SD card with ones you get from this person files. Then reinsert the SD card into the tablet and select restore in TWRP. Then the two partitions should be original if the person you got them from didn't modify it somehow.
I am not sure which format TWRP uses to store these partition images but if the above doesn't work we'll figure out how to extract it.

hello iam on s000689 and i have a hard time trying to find that recovery image... can i just you S000725 and then not have OTA updates?
I bicked my P9 Lite and need some help with it. The main problem is, that I "accidentally" wiped my vendor and product partitions using TWRP and now I can't fix them anymore. Of course I created no recovery files before... I try to give you as much information as I can:
I have a european P9 Lite L31.
I think VNS-L31C432B130 but im not shure, because fastboot getvar returns just:
Code:
>fastboot oem gevar modelid
...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.008s
I also tried to flash the volumes from a Update.zip (I decompressed using HuaweiUpdateExtractor) via fastboot, but I get the following messages:
Code:
>fastboot flash product product.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'product' (112112 KB)...
OKAY [ 3.867s]
writing 'product'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 3.889s
However flashing other images (like system or recovery) works.
I also tried to restore my phone by creating a ./dload directory on my sd-card containing the update.app (and other files from the zip) using the original recovery function. However this stops at 5% before my phone reboots.
Trying to repair the partitions by using TWRP > Wipe > Advanced Wipe > [Product/Vendor] > Repair or Change File System had also no success.
Clicking the repair-button gives the following output:
Code:
Updating parition details...
Failed to mount '/ventor' (Invalid argument)

...done
Full SELinux support is present.

Repairing Product using e2fsck...
/sbin/e2fsck -fp process ended with ERROR: 16
Unable to repair Product
Trying to reformat a partition or installing a new OS also fails with the "Failed to mount /[vendor/product]" message.
I am using this Update.zip:
Huawei P9 Lite B382/B383 Nougat Update
(not allowed to post a link)
I really home you guys can help me...
Don't use B382/383 files if you have B130..
Same Problem
I have exactly the same Problem; exept my P9lite doesn't have the ability to "UPTAT.APP" anymore - caused of the stupid ish erecovery.
Did you find a solution?
I would be glad to hear a reply tnx

FRP Unlock
but i cant fastboot anymore and this error appears:

Hi. I'm french. Have you resolved the problem ?
I'm atleast 51% sure that a flash of Service Repair ROM would fix that... But... Does such a ROM for MM exist?
Maybe the latest one (B381) will work...
Ofcourse flashing product and other partitions won't work. They get installed/updated through the UPDATE.APP (I think that also EliteROM is also doing that). They contain what model is the phone, how should everything be working and etc.
(Premise: my primary language it's not english, sorry for mistakes)
Hi guys, some weekend's ago, i tried to relock bootloader (i followed a tutorial), here the problems started...
The bootloader was successful locked, but, i got this message error:

"Failed to mount '/vendor' (Invalid Argument)

Did you 'format data' before flashing ?
You should try to install via fastboot the stock recovery then use the dload folder method. That may fixe your problem.
