Did you find your solution because I'm stuck at the same thing. I had touch screen issues after flashing a ROM. So I RSD back to stock but the touch screen problem persist. I read of the PDS fix in a post and I'm getting the same error but with trying to erase/write my PDS backup to the phone.

Make sure you put the image you are trying to flash in the same folder as your fastboot.

OP said it fails when trying to erase as well. So it's not file placement issues.

Having same problem here... any solution?

why not just flash the one from rom manager then flash the zip to the one you want through that. thats what i did works perfect!

So your trying to flash it as a boot.img? Amon Ra should be flashed as fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Also if your on stock HBoot i think you need a modified HBoot for fastboot commands or unlocked eve on S-Off

Do you have a stock HBoot? if so i think it has to be unlocked for fastboot commands even on s-off unless you have a modified Hboot that allows for fastboot commands while locked.

Well if your bootloader is locked i would unlock it or get a modified bootloader that allows fastboot commands while locked. If those dont work then youll have to ask a dev
somehow i didnt even notice that was locked. ok got recovery on. now going to try and get a rom on it. with all this headache i almost miss my GNex but it has tons of issues

But first you can try following in your terminal emulator:
Type SU and hit Enter, it should ask you for Root permissions, grant them and after that you should be able to restore CID using dd !
IF DOESNT WORK TRY THIS
Reboot your phone in AP fastboot
First i've flashed following
fastboot flash mbm allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin (i took this file from Chinese JB ROM)
than after that i've rebooted to bootloader
fastboot reboot-bootloader
than i've flashed CID
fastboot flash cid cid.img (you need to copy CID.img backup to your computer)
Than you can reboot
fastboot reboot
And everything should work !

Flash the ICS kernel after restoring cid

Which one? Can I flash just the kernel?
My System Version is 672.180.33.XT910.Retail.en.EU Kernel 3.0.8-g71323c3
Thanks
maybe you can try restoring cid via BMM
well how would you do this
TRY THIS
vonz33 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
using BMM
be sure that you have cid.img on the root of your internal memory
enter recovery after press screen during boot (when green android appears)
select Firmware flashing
then Restore CID
select cid.img using power button (and navigate with volume keys)
confirm
reboot

I have used bmm 0.2.7 as its the one with green robot on splash screen
for what i can see your cid was restored successfully.
get rsd lite if you don't have it.
get a firmware from where http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_spyder/list.php for example http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umt...PDRICSRTCEE_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml.zip which is latest retail central europe or whatever you want.
go to rsd lite open firmware, get into fastboot if you are not already. flash the firmware, wait until is ok.
boot to normal recovery from cmd: adb reboot recovery
wipe data/factory reset
and you should be good to go.
Why? Whats wrong with the ROM i've installed? what makes you say that it will work with these?
My CID.img file is lost
Hello friends,
Can anyone mail me the cid.img file.....
mine is lost and i am unable to restore back my XT910 to ics....
the phone is not mine and i am screwed as i need to return the phone to my friend. but now as the cid.img file is lost, i am unable to restore it to the original state...
please someone help me.
my mail id is [email protected]
thanks:crying:
Of what I've heard you cannot do this as your motherboard will accept only the ONE cid.img that it's been build to work with. You apparently will have to send your phone back and it will cost you big $$ to get the parts replaced and matched.

And this is the one I have installed, prior to run the cid.img flash operation that gave me an error and stated clearly that the flashing was aborted

What is this going to change.. It would be nice a clear explaination before I reset my phone again
I appreciate your efforts in helping somehow but it does not seem to be going anywhere at this stage.
A lot of us are having this same error and most have let go of it and are doomed to boot via bp tools. I think it would be a good idea to explain the whole logic behind the actions in order to fix the error, this wont be helping just me
Cheers mate
Your system and data will be wiped, the internal and external sdcard will not be affected, I gave this solution to restore your mobile to the default firmware you had.
If restoring the cid and flashing ics kernel doesn't work, that is the only way.
Your data might remain if you flash the firmware and then boot normally it happened to me once but if it doesn't boot you need to enter default recovery and wipe data/factory reset before using the phone.

Okay mate, it's what I thought... you did not read propperly what I said and it did not work. Still the same error. Total waste of time. Next time make sure you understand what people say before trying to help them.

Which directory is your recovery located. It needs to be in your adb folder. And what version of Android are you on? If you're on MM then Fastboot commands will not work. But if you're on LP it should still work.

I have been Having the same problem
I recently updated my H901 to MM and have been receiving this error every time. I have attempted this on multiple computers that have been used to successfully root the phone before on LP. I am convinced this is a phone issue related to MM.
None of the root guides available online seem to address this type of problem.
is there a new process for MM?

Fastboot commands are blocked onthe MM update. therefore no recovery can be flashed atm.
This worked for me
Hi. Im a newbie, so I can't post links yet, but I was having the same error, but I found a method that worked for me. It began:
HOW TO ROOT LG V10 T-MOBILE H901 RUNNING ANDROID 6.0 MARSHMALLOW
Download the KDZ ROM and save it to your desktop.
Download the TOT TWRP file and save it to your desktop.
Download the LGUP tool and save it to the desktop.

Return to stock after flashing custom ROMs (Fastboot method)

Note- This is tested on BKL-L09 C675 Indian variant and BKL-L09 C432 EU variant but will work on any variant of V10.
Hi Folks,
As I shared my experience on the issues I faced while moving back to stock from custom ROMs here , in this thread, I will share the detailed steps to go back to on stock avoiding any issues.
If you are on any custom ROM i.e. with Android/EMUI 8.1 TWRP backup will not work except BKL-L04. And only way that comes handy is fastboot (haven't tested the dload method myself yet as didnt had the SD card when I faced the issue but you can follow that, it will not break anything).
So before you start moving further to stock, please have these 3 files handy-
1- Stock recovery ramdisk
2- Stock boot ramdisk
3- system.img
Case 1- Custom ROM + Stock Boot + Stock Recovery (Applicable for new Open Kirin ROMs- RR and LOS which needs stock Ramdisk and if you are not using magisk)
On custom ROM, connect your phone with USB debugging enabled. (please make sure all the drivers are installed, it will already be as you may have the same which flashing the custom ROM)
Run the command to boot to fastboot
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
On fastboot screen, you will have bootloader state as Unlocked and FRP Unlocked.
Flash System image as below, Wait for process to finish, it may take 1-2 minutes for entire flash (93 seconds in my case)
Code:

Once booted on any of the case, you will be on full stock with unlocked bootloader. (you need to either dload to lock the bootlaoder or run the command - fastboot oem urelock <16 digit bootlaoder code> to relock the bootlaoder).
Working and tested myself and confirmed by one more user(Sandeep Dash). So, if you follow the steps correctly, you should not face any issue but in case you get stuck anywhere or not clear with steps and I will try to help as much as I can.
Attached files for BKL-L09 EU version. I will add other files as an when I get it.

Thanks. Nope buddy, as you already have stock recovery (for new Open Kirin ROMs) and only boot ramdisk was modified (for Magisk)
But yes, if you flashed twrp then you need it. Thanks for highlighting it, i will fix this.

Oh, I see. I was just a little confused about this part then:

So before you start moving further to stock, please have these 3 files handy-
1- Stock recovery ramdisk
2- Stock boot ramdisk
3- system.img

FOr me it was unofficial as I was using OpenKirin ROM as per requirement it should be stock recovery only.
for other ROMs or backup, you can try the unofficial one as official doesnt work on Android 8.1 and it will show random content or character in TWRP so you can not restore or say access the stuffs on your internal memory. I used the unofficial one given here

Yes. Code will remain the same throughout the phone lifecycle. It is based on phone serial number, product if amd IMEI which remains the same and unique for every phone

It will not allow to flash or wont boot.
You may need to flash the oeminfo file first and then system img. Had this been this easy, i would have rebranded to Indian version. See one of my debranding guide in signature

Using erecovery would be easier if u have fast internet and I heard it doesn't relock the bootloader
I mean the relock doesn't matter according to u as we can just use the code several times ...then I guess dload is easier only need a SD card...I mean it doesn't even matter which one of the scenarios we are in as mentioned by u in the OP.

Erecovery download is difficult and give error many times.
Dload actually lock the bootloader and you will be on full stock.
In my case, i had to relock the bootloader as it was in bootloop and i knew relocking will give me erecovery to download.
