Hi there, i was lucky and got in possession of a XA1 and wanted to root it. I unlocked the bootloader via Sony and flashed the latest firmware with Flashtool (G3121_Customized DE_1308-4558_48.1.A.2.112_R3B) to get rid of the branding.
adb reboot recovery - Reboots the phone? Is there no recovery installed?
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery.img - This gives me the a big warning: Your device has failed verification and will not work properly. The recovery.img is a TWRP for the XA1.
Does anyone have a clue what's going on and how to get rid of it?

Hi,
I just bricked my MX4 after trying to update system image from 4.5.6 to 4.5.7 using this guide:
Extract I version update.zip
use sdat2img to create system image
dd system image to system partition on live phone and reboot.
I used the same procedure successfully before, x-updating 4.5.4A ti I then updating to 4.5.6I.
After updating to 4.5.7, the phone goes into an infinite loop of Meizu splash screen, Flyme balloon, reboot.
I can enter fastboot and official recovery, but can't flash any partition from fastboot.
The bootloader is still locked.
Does anyone have any advice for unbricking?
Update:
The bootloop suddenly froze up for long enough for me to use adb to push an update.zip to the "sdcard" root. Have now flashed 4.2.8A from recovery and booted the phone.
As I had to clear all data I will unlock bootloader before trying anything else.
Try do flash 4.2.8.2 with uboot.img modded (to reunlock bootloader) and reboot fastboot and tell me

Hi,
I managed to push 4.2.8.2 to sdcard then do a normal recovery reflash.
Have now successfully unlocked using the .apk method.
Now I need to find out if I can use that unlocked bootloader to flash recent "I" firmwares, or if I can only flash the unfinished cyanogen (would like to wait 'til that's a bit more polished before using it.
Anyway. Happy to have my phone back!
Maybe that newest 4.5.7I need a new kernel so you'll need to update to 4.5.7A before flashing system.img or you can flash directly 4.5.7I but you'll need to use fastboot flash boot boot.img
If a rom/firmware needs a specific kernel it'll bootloop if you don't flash it
Can I flash 4.5.7 I now that I have unlocked bootloader and custom recovery? If I understand the unlock threads correctly, I think I will relock the bootloader, or even brick if I try to flash the complete update.zip. Can I flash system and boot partitions using fastboot?
Fully BRICKED.
Now I FULLY bricked it (no more recovery).
Had successfully upgraded to 4.5.7 "I" and was installing super su for full root, before disabling update, but had forgotten that I still had official 4.2.8 rom as update.zip on "sdcard" root.
rebooted to TWRP recovery for full su install and recovery found the update.zip and flashed it.
Result: Bootloop, No recovery, locked fastboot, no possibility to flash anything.
Aaargh!
Where do I find a 4.2.8 recovery.img for this phone?
Maybe there's a possibility doing a fastboot boot recovery.img ???
NOPE:
[email protected]:/home/marius/Downloads# fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.662s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
Fixed with large hammer! Goodbye Meizu!

fastboot boot recovery.img isn't a command at all... It's fastboot flash recovery C:/path/to/recovery.img
I stupidly flashed a wrong file and lost access to twrp and root. But that is cool I got back ups etc because I was in the process of rebuilding anyway
Symptoms :
If I restart phone it'll get stuck on logo until
Fastboot continue
OS loads up but....
No root and no access to bootloader, can not fastboot flash recovery recovery. Img
Failed Device is locked
Cannot flash anything onto it seems I am locked out an unlocked then locked bootloader without root??
See attachments for more details
Is there a way out of this mess, lol what have I done :crying:
Just to clarify I have adb enabled, cmd promt and terminal have access to it under abd /fastboot devices = id, I just can't flash anything so is there another way to get root and install twrp if I can't flash?
UPDATE:
The oem was already unlocked so thats why the command did nothing. (I found it by locking and unlocking it again)
Also I had the wrong SuperSU, I first installed CM14 and than installed the right SuperSU
So I was trying to root my OP2 for the second time (apparently it derooted itself for some reason?)
But now I can't unlock oem from fastboot.
I magicly could flash TWRP and from there I installed SuperSU.
But when I booted my device up, it get's bricked into a boot loop.
I got out of the boot loop and tried again.
So I go into fastboot mode and tried the command again:
>fastboot oem unlock
...
OKAY [ 0.020s]
finished. total time: 0.022s

PLEASE do not link me to the unbrick guides - the problem is NOT that it's bricked - The problem is that I can't unlock oem from fastboot and so I can't succesfull root my phone.
What works:
+ getting into the OS
+ getting into fastboot
+ flashing a recovery (even if the device is locked?!)
+ booting into recovery
What doesn't work:
- unlocking via fastboot oem unlock

If you can fastboot flash a custom recovery then your device isn't locked.
When you flashed SuperSU, did you use the stock version and force a systemless installation or did you use a modified version that does this automatically?
If you used the stock version and didn't force a systemless installation, this is probably the reason you're bootlooping.

Thank you for the advice, maybe I can use it another time.
Hello I have managed to brick my P9 lite with the nougat rom. I can only access bootloader, the phone is both oem and bootloader unlocked and currently it's on bootloop. I have tried the upgrade with 3 buttons pushed but I can't get the phone to accept the package(put in the dload folder on SDcard) it only shows 'install failed - Incompatibility with current version please download the correct package'. I have also tried the fastboot flash system command it went without errors but the only result is that it no longer bootloops and only shows black screen after the warning that I have unlocked bootloader. So is there anything else I should try? Thanks.
Fastboot??

@mrmajco
I don't understand what you mean. Could you give me some commands to use? If I flash recovery with fastboot I can't get into the recovery (nougat rom) and if I flash system with fastboot flash system I only see black screen and nothing boots up.
fastboot flash zip gives me FAILED command not allowed.
@zgomot
Well, either I'm really dumb or doing it wrong but once I flash the meticulus recovery with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img nothing really changes and I can't get into the recovery.
To flashing oem info I get FAILED (remote: command not allowed). I will post it here but I doubt it will be of any help.

edit: I really don't know how but I'm in the recovery so I think I will manage to flash the stock image from there and make it work. I will once I resolve the problem or brick it once more Thank you for the link.
Hi everybody
My Zenfone Selfie after a normal update (never modified) is in bootloop.
So I installed adb and fastboot and I flashed the twrp.
Then I tried in every way to flash a rom. I've tried both with official firmware and with various versions of cyanogenmod. Through fastboot and via adb sideload.
Even if seems to work, when I reboot I get the bootloop problem again.
As far as I can understand the problem it’s that I have the bootloader still locked. The official apk solution I guees it’s not applicable in my case. By fastboot oem unlock i get an error message (probably why i can not enable usb debug).
Do you know of other ways to unlock the bootloader or in general to flick my phone?
Thanks to everyone for the help
Here is a link for selfie's boot, recovery and system images for fastboot flashing

You can't unlocked bootloader on fastboot. I hope you can restore your device.
