hello:
i have found shield tv and i don't know if it's bricked or no
just show logo nvidia
access fastboot
when i'm connecting in fastboot mod, my pc detect and i have install driver, name is "android bootloader interface"
fastboot device show me numero
but it's all, impossible to unlock oem
failed (command write failed (too many links))
if i try oem lock, tell me
failed (command write failed (unknow error))
please help me, i'm not beginner but i don't find soluce
If fastboot is working, then it's not bricked. Do you know what was done to it to put it in that state?
Maybe try flashing the stock image?
It is very hard to find any Information on the ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M1 X00TDB Modell, is there someone who knows more?
I cannot find a modell specific twrp recovery.img or any kind of Custom OS support
Maybe someone can show me how to compile them myself?
My Bootloader is already unlocked
When I try to install the unofficial X00TD recovery.img, I just get this error code:
PS C:\adb\unlock> fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.2-1-20180727-X00TD.img
Sending 'recovery' (58328 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (Invalid argument))
fastboot: error: Command failed
For some reason my stock android recovery it says:
asus/WW_X00TD/ASUS_X00T_1
Is that normal?
Any advice is helpful, thanks in advance
*UPDATE: I solved it by disconnecting the phone, exexuting the bootloader flash command and after getting "waiting for device" plug the phone back in the computer.

Now I have a new problem, when I try to Install the official LineageOS X00TD https://download.lineageos.org/X00TD on my X00TDB Device I get an error 7 message on TWRP, do you guys know a solution?
Hello to all gurus here
my Redmi Note 7 had a screen broken...I can only hardy recognize when it's in fastboot or recovery.... Touch not working.
The bootloader is locked, I am not sure if USB Debugging was enabled, but I suppose it was not because I get the following:
C:\MyDocs\TEMP\Varie\platform-tools>fastboot oem unlock
FAILED (remote: 'Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device
')
fastboot: error: Command failed
In this terrific scenario, is there any way on earth to recover my data?
I can only see my device in fastboot mode for what I can say...
On the other hand I could probably install a TWRP (which should already have debugging enabled) using fastboot but it seems to me it should clear all my user data.
Any way out?
Thanks in advance
unlocking bootloader requires bonded mi account in developer options and can only unlocked from miunlock tool. btw that will erase userdata during unlock for security reasons
Dear mates,
2 days I am trying to find answer to my problem and finally decided to start new post on exact issue I faced.
device is MI A1 with android one and current version on it was according to picture attached from recovery was tissot_10.0.19. when I took this phone from my mate to fix it was not booting with first MIUI page stacked on the screen.
fastboot output were saying:
--------------------------------------------------
C:\WINDOWS\system32>fastboot oem device-info
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.058s]
Finished. Total time: 0.059s
------------------------------------------------
getvar is attached
i tried to flash using miflash ver 2020.3.14 in fastboot mode but it was not successful because of locked bootloader and "locked everything".
i tried to load OTA updates using embedded recovery, but not successful, screenshot attached.
i got the error " E:Error in sideload/package.zip (Status 1)
and all time repeating error : fail to clear BCB message fail to fsync /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc: operation not permitted
any option from recovery meny does not provide any result. wipe data/factory reset were stucking with erasing data notification for hours without result.
at the end i cam to EDL mode by shorting hardware test point. quallcomm driver was ok at computer Device Manager, miflash and QFIL are identifying device on com port 20 but flashing does not finish successfully , it stop at 12 sec in Miflash, and at 1,46% in QFIL. verbose log for QFIL is also attached .
main concern in QFIL log file is "IGNORING UNRECOGNIZED Attribute" stats for attributes from TARGET. my impression is phone is asking to send data in rawmode <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><data><response value="ACK" rawmode="true" /></data> and Qfil is ignoring this attribute. as the result file copy finish with error
23:37:45: INFO: TARGET SAID: 'Finished sector address 131072'
23:37:45: DEBUG: XML FILE (92 bytes): CharsInBuffer=92-92=0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><data><response value="NAK" rawmode="false" /></data>
and we have repeating replies from Target as this : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><data><log value="0 bytes received, 1048576 sectors more to go" /></data>
sorry for long explanation, the goal is to share as clear picture of the situation as possible.
i tried the same procedure with QFIL on other computer and had the same result.
now phone is in all time EDL mode. i suppose it is because i checked "erase all before configuration" option in QFIL firehose configurations.
Thanks to everyone in advance for your time and help if you could provide your suggestions how to solve the issue.
I can't solve this problem for more than 4 days and I have android 8.1 and it gives the same problem, you can do the easiest thing, as they say, edl test point, you can try but I don't recommend how you can mess up something if you were able to solve the problem, please tell me how to solve it
Try to flash stock rom via MiFlash Tool. Make sure to see COM port on MiFlash tool (press refresh to detect com port). Then after you see COM port. Flash it with "clean all" option(on the bottom). If you connect to EDL mode properly, process will be finished succesfully. But if you get some "Invalid argument, unknown error" errors, you are not connected to edl mode.
try to enter edl mode with this code in fastboot
Code:
fastboot oem edl
If it give OKAY, then you are ready to flash with Miflash tool.
There is another way to flash img files with fastboot mode. If you dont success, write here.
atc mode is not worked and I don't want to enter the testpoint, how can I tell you and the loader is not open, so this is also not a small problem as you look at it, so if there are other ideas, please send them to me
PLEASEEEEE
Testpoint is a final way. even if you cant enter testpoint, you cant do more

Just to update that after debugging the whole windows com stack I struck on a wall and it seems that windows 7 and 10 block something there (I manage to get out of the driver to win kernel on debug but then it fails and didn't had any more nerves to deal with and I'm not a windows guy myself).
So the only solution for low lvl writing is to use linux with point boot to EDL. It seems that for mi A1 even if Qualcomm's boot chain is broken (https://blog.quarkslab.com/analysis-of-qualcomm-secure-boot-chains.html) it should fall to EDL in most cases but in our phone (global version at least) it goes to diagnostic mode (not to be confused with Download mode) regardless of drivers in windows - this is hardwired in the chip. So under linux you should fall in to download mode with hardware short of motherboard points to fall in to the correct mode. You should forget about windows as it depends too much on the selected driver (yes you can manually change driver and fu** the whole chain of communication). You need to hardwarely go to Download mode. Don't believe what windows reports.
From there you can use QDL (check documentation on how to install (you'll also need to install gcc (ubuntu - apt get install gcc) https://github.com/96boards/documentation/blob/master/consumer/guides/qdl.md).
Then download a full firmware flash from xiaomi (that's for MiFlash) and use the files in the images folder for the command ( for instance to be more easy copy images folder to qdl folder and:
./qdl --debug --storage emmc --include 'images' 'images/prog_emmc_firehose_8953_ddr.mbn' 'images/rawprogram0.xml' 'images/patch0.xml')
This will fix the first part of the qualcomm bootchain from there you will have access to fastboot and then use all other tutorials concerning fixes from fastboot.
If enough ppl want it I'll write extended tutorial in the other section.

Try this. It should bring you to mostly original state and from there you can fastboot unlock and proceed with installing shrp or twrp.
Hey guys, I need help with this Asus Zenfone 2 Laser that:

As someone who has only worked with Google Pixel phones in the past, I'm very frustrated for a few reasons.
Firstly, why the hell is the ONLY WAY to unlock a bootloader through an app that was released in such a clandestine, under-the-table way?
Second, why is the manufacturer gatekeeping the recovery files? The only way I was able to find the stock recovery.img is through a comment on a Reddit post (ironically posted by an ASUS Employee).
Third, I've been scouring the internet for many, many days trying to find any kind of emergency recovery method, but every single tutorial acts on the assumption that the bootloader is unlocked, and that boot.img, recovery.img, etc. can be flashed.
Enough about the frustration. Now let's talk about what I've tried so far.
I tried ASUS Flash Tool (Finding ADB drivers was a whole different fiasco for this device), and came up empty handed, as it doesn't detect the device when in fastboot mode.
I tried using fastboot to flash boot, recovery, system, fastboot, and dnx/ifwi, to no avail.
I tried booting into recovery via `fastboot reboot recovery`, `fastboot reboot-recovery`, `fastboot oem reboot-recovery`, and by holding Vol Down while booting up. They all give the same result, which is just an instant (<1 second) reboot. My best guess is that recovery.img is either missing or badly corrupt, so the bootloader just gives up and exits immediately.
Please help. I don't want an expensive paperweight sitting in my drawer just because of a bootloop that wasn't my fault (seriously this device just bootlooped itself one day, I didn't flash a custom rom, root or anything like that).
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance
you can flash on locked bootloader in EDL mode. search in the forum, don't hesitate to ask for clarity on search results. I give you a starting point.
(don't read the whole thread, it will only confuse you)

Probably a dumb question, but how can I put my device into EDL mode?
I've tried many key combinations in conjunction with plugging it into the computer, and I've tried connecting it without a battery.
if nothing else works you need to figure out test points
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ed-to-unlock-bootloader.4531349/post-87944673
you still have fastboot? try this for EDL mode.
Code:
fastboot oem enter-dload
Good news and bad news. Good news is: I was able to enter EDL mode.
Bad news is, apparently my entire partition scheme was messed up, and upon running "edl w gpt gptboth0.bin", fastboot no longer works.
I have tried flashing aboot using edl ("edl w aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn") and it's not working.
Not to mention that it is almost impossible to find the firmware file with all the factory files such as "emmc_appsboot.mbn". The place where I got my file seemed very sketchy and I'm not surprised if the reason it's not working is because it's the wrong file.
Once again, this is a result of ASUS gatekeeping their recovery files to service centers to drive up repair sales.
If anyone has a link, or would like to provide a donor file, it would be VERY much appreciated.
what is inside official download?

So yes, I was able to get fastboot back. However, I am now facing another issue.
In order to get fastboot back, I had to run this command
Bash:
edl qfil rawprogram0.xml patch0.xml image_dir
This seemed fine at first, but now, running "edl printgpt" returns nothing. Somehow, the phone is able to boot to fastboot without any GPT partitions visible.
However, when I try to flash gpt_main0, or gpt_both0, the phone now becomes unbootable.
This means, if I try to create a partition table to flash recovery onto, appsboot (and by extension, fastboot) no longer works.
Code:
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Sending 'recovery' (18115 KB) OKAY [ 0.581s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'partition table doesn't exist')
fastboot: error: Command failed
"partition table doesn't exist"
If I try to create the partition table, the phone refuses to boot...

So we're you able to find a fix in any way? I find myself in just about the same situation tho for different reasons. I have a radiant max 5g att device i moronicaly tried to download a gsi using the dsu updater, but forgot to unlock bootloader or even enable USB debugging before attempt. So OS system is crashing an saying 'device corrupted' on boot attempt. Recovery mode gets the same result. Was able to use the bugjaegar app to connect ad run the bootloader but every repair attempt is blocked by the fact the USB debugging isn't on. To make matters worse I accidentky hit boot fastbootd command instead of normal and whatever that did wiped out my ability to even connect with bootloader so I'm kind of stuck.

I found many tutorials about fixing bootloops on the Nexus but they all seem to require an unlocked bootloader.
The bootloader on the device is locked. I can see the device in fastboot devices but I can't unlock it.
Any idea how to repair this? Can I somehow flash a factory image onto the device even though OEM unlock is disabled? There is no data on the device that would need to be preserved. I'm ideally looking for a Linux-based solution. more info... ***

Yeah man I've been looking at this problem for over a week now and can't find much online at all to help. Except for this EDLmode some devices can boot into, and apparently you can flash a locked system using this emergency download mode. I dunno still researching.
