I ****ed up... - Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I relocked my bootloader after upgrading to marshmallow and forgot that I did that..... I tried to flash a stock boot img so I could utilize the ota, and it sort of bricked my tablet. Being a total dumbass I didn't realize that was the problem. Having had a similar issue before on my galaxy s4 where I follow a similar solution. I already have twrp installed, and it was asking for encryption for which there was none. So I wiped data and formatted to get past the encryption. On my s4 I was then able to reinstall the stock firmware and software. However when I tried to push the bootloader to my nexus I got this weird error.. can someone pleeeeeeease spare me and help me out. This tablet is my lifeline for college...
Don't get me in trouble for posting this image please lol, I just don't have enough posts. http ://i67.tinypic.com/v80vwl.jpg[/B][/B]
I figured it out, I was just being dumb. I just needed to use the fastboot commands and not try to use twrp

If your able to access the bootloader menu or the fastboot menu, you could flash the stock and would fix the brick,soft brick or boot-loop.
Head to Google developer nexus image. Download the factory image of your devices on your devices. Extract all the files and copy paste the fastboot and adb files. Head to your devices and open the fastboot menu.
Type the following commends to restore your devices if the flashall did not work.
Fastboot oem unlock
Fastboot flash bootloader bootloader....
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
Fastboot erase boot
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase system
Fastboot flash system system.img (this could take up to 15 minutes, don't do anything to stop the process you can make your devices and a worst state)
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash cache cache.img
Fastboot erase vendor
Fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Fastboot reboot
This should fix your devices. I did not and it save each time I broke my device or anything similar.
If you want after all that. You can enter the following commends to relock your devices but don't make the same mistake you did before. If you want to avoid that same mistake just don't enter the commends.

What the guy above me said, also pro tip, some times not all the files will extract just keep extracting till all the image files are there.

How to flash new 5.0.1 System Image if Rooted

EDIT: Noob to flashing stock images here. Need help on how to get the image to install on the device. This is my first ever Nexus device
So there's a new 5.0.1 system image out. I'm rooted, and I remember reading somewhere that the official OTA process won't work if you have modifications to the System partition.
So, I just want to check what I should do. Thanks.
Fastboot flash the images. Then reroot.
Awesome. I'm new to fastboot, and this is my first Nexus device. What is the procedure for flashing an official System image with fastboot?

That post left out flashing recovery. The download should have 6 files. I flashed recovery at the end (but I don't think it matters how you flash the files, I could be wrong though).
See link above, then you might as well just flash twrp recovery instead of factory recovery, then flash this SuperSU zip through recovery and you'll be rooted and updated.
Order of flash doesn't matter, and I wouldn't flash boot loader unless necessary.

I had TWRP installed before loading up these images. I decided to not flash recovery.img thinking I would be okay; but when I tried to reboot into twrp, I soft bricked. So I would still install the recovery.img first and then twrp. Everything is working properly now.

You're right, now that I think about it, I believe I had to do that as well last time I flashed a factory image.
I am unlocked, rooted and have custom recovery.... what is the procedure? Is fastboot the only way?

maybe I'll write up a guide, but download the factory image, extract it. In there is a zip file, extract it too. Then Google 15 second adb install xda. That'll set up fastboot on your pc. Then boot into the bootloader and in a command window opened in the folder where the bootloader image is located run the commands:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img. Note, use the full name of the bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w
Open the folder where the boot, system, cache, system, and vendor images are located. Open a command window in that folder and run the commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Then you're done

Since its a small update you could probably get by just flashing the system and boot images. But I haven't tried it

I'd flash everything as described to be safe, I just prefer simply flashing a zip and moving on.
Will updating thru adb wipe my device?

You're using thru fastboot, not adb. They're different. But to answer your question the command fastboot -w does wipe your device. You could try it without that command but it may cause problems. Back your device up to Google first. Google had gotten really good at restoring the device after a flash.
You could also try just flashing the system and boot images, run those fastboot commands only and not the other ones. It should update to 5.0.1 without a problem.

Thanks, I have actually flashed a few times thru fastboot in the past so I'm not totally lost on the idea. I've always used tibu in the past, will Google restore my data too?

Nexus 9 WiFi'
** edit: i was trying to install a stock lolipop using Nexus Tool Kit and these are the resault many errors and mainly this error "out of memory"...
i would provide a pic but i cant upload due to the span prevention system in the forum...
Hard to say for sure what happened, but I can say it is always best to stay away from a toolkit as problems like this arise all too frequently
So long as your bootloader is unlocked flashing a factory image is the best choice
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
If you need a hand setting this up let me know
Best of luck
hey many thanks for the kind offer to help, i've been trying to flash a new factory image but no luck, i keep getting an erot while flashing [something about too many links or not enough memory], i'll provide a pic soon.
edit: i ran the flash-all script as instructed in the link you gave me, ended up with these errors: [i cant attach a pic since im a new user, system alert]
update package missing "system.img"
"archive does not contain "boot.sig"
"archive does not contain "recovery.sig"
in other case the fastboot froze [on the tablet] and an error popped up in the terminal "out of memory"
Try erasing and flashing partitions separately
fastboot format system
fastboot format cache
fastboot format data
fastboot format recovery
fastboot format boot
Now
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash data data.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
Just unpack the .zip you downloaded and you'll find another zip with all these files

can you please tell me how to do that? i tired several cables and ports, same error every time.
Guessing you are using windows? If so the best way is to have the android SDK downloaded and update through the available ui
More detailed instructions are available from the fastboot link I sent earlier
But the error you are getting is almost always a bad USB cable or port, at least whenever I have troubleshot that error with others that's what turned out to be the fault

Well yes i do use android SDK and its always up to date, i really dont understand the cables and port i have been using are all good since i use them with other devices too, i really dont know what else i should do...
one more thing, when trying to format boot and data i got this error:
formatting is not supported in filesystem type "raw" [something like that]
what does this mean?
edit: i was able to flash the system. boot, cache and recovery but the tablet still stuck on google logo
edit #2: i wasnt flashing correctly, i used the flash all script and it ran flawless, the tablet has booted and its faster then ever! i have another shot to a cable and port i still didnt use
and now its working, i cant thank you enough!

How were you not flashing correctly?
I had the same issue.
Go into fastboot and flash the vendor.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Flashing the vendor.img actually did it - I followed the explanations above and was still stuck at the Google screen.
Formatting and flashing the following finally did the trick:
fastboot format system
fastboot format cache
fastboot format data
fastboot format recovery
fastboot format boot
(the three above failed due to an unsupported file system which didn't make a difference in my case)
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash data data.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
I have a Nexus 5X but it was the same issue when trying to flash LineageOS 14 after using Android 8.
I downloaded the vendor image from the official Linage OS thread and that fixed it. Only command I had to run was "fastboot flash vendor vendor.img". I did a factory reset with TWRP before booting though.

Flash Counter Question

Hey guys, I have a quick question about my warranty and root with the Elemental recovery. I rooted my tablet and loaded the recovery and now am having some issues UNRELATED to the modding of my tablet. Now I am going to send it in for repair and want to make sure they don't receive a modded tablet. Do I just need to do a factory reset or are there some other steps I need to take to make sure that when they receive my tablet, they can't tell it was ever modified? I read about a flash counter somewhere, so I'm not sure if I have to do anything with that, or if it really is as easy as a factory reset. I would love any and all help and look forward to hearing back.
Thanks a bunch,
Chris

I would say to do a back up if possible. After what I did is a flash the factory image and I relock the bootloader. If you don't flash the factory image and you don't relock the bootloader , they would just send it back.
Here are the commends for the flashing of recovery images.
Fastboot flash bootloader bootloader...
Fastboot reboot
Fastboot erase boot
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase system
Fastboot flash system system.img (this can take up to 15 minutes do not cancel process)
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash cache cache.img
Fastboot erase vendor
Fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Fastboot reboot bootloader
After you finish that, you must type the following command.
Command to relock your devices
Fastboot oem_lock
I hope this was helpful.
I don't see why you can't just use the "flash all" batch file. Does the batch file do something different?

Cannot access recovery after using MSMDownloadTool recovery package

Hi,
I screwed up my phone and hard bricked it, so I used the MSMDownload Tool to make it run normally again, but...
It allowed me to recover my phone, but I cannot access recovery. I also tried to update the phone, but it would hang on the oneplus logo. I also cannot unlock my bootloader, as after it completes (and says it completed successfully on my computer) it again hangs on the oneplus logo.
Could anybody help me out here with how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance!
Hello .
My condolences first. I've been there before.
Anyway can you get your device bootloader unlocked in settings then fastboot and do ya fastboot Cody terminal stuff?
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
DON'T FORGET THIS WILL WIPE WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE.
Yay! Once you done that stay in fastboot and push twrp from there. Flash latest naturally.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot recovery twrp.img
That should jump into your TWRP then flash a rom if you want . But that should do it .
Hope I helped give us a thanks if I did

[TUTORIAL] Manually Install / Flash 7.11 NOUGAT Even To Unbrick A ZE553KL Zenfone

MANUALLY INSTALLING FULL NOUGAT 7.11 FIRMWARE 2018/03/15(security_patch 2018-02-05) (RECOVERY, BOOT, SYSTEM) Even If Its Soft Bricked Because You Messed Up Somewhere. Files Here Are For Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL Z01HD WW Sku .
Its The Last Nougat Update Before Oreo Was Released.
MORE FIRWARES HERE
Story Time:
As I Remember It.....Condensed Version, This Was Over A Few Days Of Trial And Error, Mainly Because Adb SideLoad Refused To Flash Asus's Stock Firmware Zip Files.
I Messed Up My Friends Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom, ZE553KL.
He Bought Used, He Quickly Updated To Oreo From Within The Phones Update But Was Having Missed Texts And Slow Lte(4g) Speeds, He Wasnt Sure If It Happened On Nougat Which The Phone Was On Originally.
Downgraded To 6.01, Installed Twrp, Magisk, Still Having Same Issues, Flashing An Update Zip W/a Modded Updater Script Via Twrp Caused A Soft Bricked Phone, It Never Completed The Flash, Twrp Backup Didnt Work, Factory Reset A No Go, Couldn't Manually Flash Stock Rom As Adb Sideload Always Gave Errors, Fastboot System images Didnt Help For One Reason Or Another, Phone Was Just Bootlooping Back To The Unlocked Bootloader Menu.
Down Loaded Alot Of Stuff, Read Countless Pages, And Somehow Got The Right Firmware Files(recovery, boot, system img files) That Was Flashable Via Fastboot Extracted From A Zip, My Fix Is Below. These Are Not My Files But I Cant Remember Where I Got Them From As I Dl-ed Alot Of Stuff Trying To Get This Phone To A Running State. No I Havent Tried Oreo Yet, He Has His Phone Back Now And Not Sure When He'll Let Me Play With It Again, Lol.

What do u mean by raw. In what format is it in.
I've converted oreo stock firmware .dat files to .img files but I can't test them as I don't have the phone. My friend seems happy on nougat and I don't think he'll let me flash it on his phone.
I haven't tried dl-ing official stock and seeing if phone will see it as an update to manually self install via nougat recovery or maybe to try adb sideload again.

God bless you! You made my quite dead phone, live again!
Thank you
I can't update to Oreo via ota... do you know why?
the op here. lol, my friend dropped the phone and now its dead screen, no display/no touch but phone still works.
he doesnt want to get a screen for it as it will cost almost as much as he paid for it.......so its mine now.
been flashing stuff to it, gave it a very hard soft brick, still dealing with that.
my goal was to run it remotely but get adb/usb debugging enabled and get pc trusted by phone. i thought he wanted to sell it as is but decided to give to me to do whatever i want to it
got out of the hard soft brick, installed twrp, use twrp cli, twrp backups and restore, rooted w/magisk, installed 6.0.1 (fluked it), 7.11 using my method above with the extra erase commands, removed frp, got adb /usb debugging enabled and device adb authorized by hacking , got vysor, a remote control mirroring app running, all without a working screen.
i'll write up a tut for any1 else that needs help. fyi, weak screen if dropped even short distance, but he had no cover, but pretty to hard to brick it, imo, ymmv
