I have tried unsuccessfully updating my Chinese N1 using fastboot using the files uploaded by wodz69 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-n1/general/n1-taiwan-release-t3083115/page1 .
That is the BOOT and RECOVERY files on drop box and SYSTEM file from mega . The N1 was on A5CNB19 Lollipop 5.1.1.
Prior to flashing with fast boot I tried rooting the device without success. I'm not sure, but think part of the reason I couldn't root was because the drivers hadn't installed correctly and the device didn't show up properly on my PC.
I ended up resolving the driver issue and was able to see the N1 as a drive on my PC. By that time I had given up on the root process, as I decided I didn't need it to flash the new images. Therefore I don't know if I could have rooted it or not.
On the device I had enabled "developer" mode and initially turned on USB debugging and unlocked the boot loader. I ended up turning off USB debugging for some reason prior to flashing the new images so I now don't have USB debugging on nor adb access.
Even though I had unlocked the boot loader on the N1, the device still showed it was locked when in fastboot mode. I used the fastboot oem unlock command to get it unlocked.
I was able to flash the RECOVERY and BOOT images but when it came to the SYSTEM image, which I left to last, I got this message "Invalid sparse file format at header magi" .
I have checked the MD5 sum of my copy of the SYSTEM image file and it matches the one in post #33 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-n1/general/n1-taiwan-release-t3083115/page1 .
I cannot get the N1 to boot up past what I'm calling the fastboot mode screen.
When I press the Power button on the device I get a screen giving the choice of either starting using the POWER key or rejecting the image by pressing VOLUME.
If I choose the POWER button the device hangs on a screen with "Powered by android'.
Rejecting the image by pressing the VOLUME button brings up the "Powered by android screen' for a few seconds prior to showing a screen which I'm calling the fastboot screen.
On this screen there's a box at the top, which by using the volume keys, can be toggled between NORMAL BOOT, POWER OFF, RECOVERY MODE, RESTART BOOTLOADER . Below that is the green android symbol lying on its back with an open flap showing its insides (blue IC's). About half way down on the left of the screen is status information with "Fastboot mode" (in red) at the top.
If I choose RESTART BOOTLOADER or RECOVERY MODE the device boots back the fastboot screen. NORMAL BOOT brings up the screen asking to either start using the Power button or reject the image using the volume buttons. POWER OFF works OK.
Where do I go from here to either reflash the original ROM or another ROM, or get the new SYSTEM image working?
There doesn't appear to be any repositories for Nokia images, at least I cannot find any. Would I have any success trying another Lollipop ROM for an Intel tablet. At least this way I may be able to enable USB debuging and then be able to use ADB to install a new the files I have. Apparently there has been some success using ADB.
Thanks for your help.

Good day to you all kind folks!
Basicly, i have the same problem as mr. adijat from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816263 .
I was digging about link2sd with the phone from the subject and messed it up.
I managed to get it to boot to android again, but with limited capability:
1. Once connected to PC, it only charges, no mass storage, no usb debuging, no nothing.
2. Half of the applications are missing, like GooglePlay, Google Account Sinchronization etc.
I did try to install those manually, but to no avail, if i try to install GooglePlay.apk it just says: Application not installed.
I was google-ing for a way to adb push those applications, but i have no idea what parts of android system are responsible for USB controlers, and every try to find out doesnt end so good.
As for the original stock rom/firmware from huawei, they DO have the phone listed on their download page, but nothing to download from there, and from another sites i cant seem to find the specific rom for this model, although i've tried to install some similar ROMs like official U8650 and S8600, none worked ( when i enter in update screen, step 1/2 finishes and as soon as step 2/2 starts it says "Update Failed" and thats it.
I can't seem to get it to fastboot mode anymore also (Shut down > Plug to PC > Volume down+Power 2 sec > 10 sec Power ), because when i plug it in to PC while its shut down it doesnt go to battery charging screen, it just stays on white loading screen.
I'm baffeled with this, i'm not much of an expert on this stuff but i know the basics, and cant figure it out.
If anyone has any solutions, it would be great!

bagio007 do not try to restore with another roms because it is useless. try it only with fastboot ...
you nedd to boot in recovery mode and try to flash with fastboot
boot.img
recovery.img
system.img
STEPS:
Turn off the phone, disconnect the USB cable and remove the battery
Reinsert the battery into the phone
Turn on phone into fastboot mode
Press the volume up button for 1 second.
Holding volume up, press the power button, holding down both buttons for 4 seconds.
After that, release the power button first, then the Volume Up button.
The screen should remain black ...
Try to reset factory a prhone in recovery mode ..
move the bar with volume up/down key and power button to accept
if not wort thats try to flash with fastboot
Reconnect the phone and verify, that the phone is in fastboot. Type into the Command Prompt or terminal:
fastboot devices
Now flash the firmware:
fastboot flash boot /path/to/boot.img
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
fastboot flash system /path/to/system.img
fastboot flash userdata /path/to/userdata.img
Reboot the phone
fastboot reboot
Title pretty much says it all, trying to figure out how to get a Onda v973, I think version 2 to boot into recovery via the power/home buttons. Which are the only buttons on the device. I was able to get it to boot into recovery via adb reboot recovery. Seems there was a way with v971 and v972 if you hold the home button + power till the logo comes up. But when I press the home and power, the device never turns on. It will only turn on if just the power button is pressed. Though I do hear it making some sound at one point when I have both depressed.
I have CWM and Cyanogenmod 10.1 installed on my v973. I did not turn off signature verification, the compatibility package failed, and I did not catch that till after I rebooted. Now I have both on there, but no touch screen drivers. With USB debugging not enabled, when the device boots it shows in adb devices, but is unauthorized. I am just trying to reboot into recovery/CWM so I can turn off signature verification, install the compatibility package, and have a working tablet again.
Even with stock firmware I could not get it to enter recovery. I started by using the upgrade tool to install TWRP. Then had to use adb reboot recovery to get into TWRP. Which did not have working touchscreen drivers. I could not get the device to stop booting in recovery mode/TWRP. I then used adb to push CWM to the device and cat it to overwrite TWRP. From there used CWM to install Cynogenmod and stop booting into recovery. I did backup the factory rom, but never got a chance to download it from the internal storage.
I will try using the PhoenixSuit to restore a stock firmware and start over again. But do not run Windows, attempting to use it via Windows running in VirtualBox on Linux. Either way, still would like to know how to get this device to boot into recovery using power/home buttons. I have asked Onda the same question. Does seem like its changed since previous models and/or versions. Hopefully there is a way as if not will be the first android device I have come across with no physical means to enter recovery mode.
Why this phone causing so many issues?
I'm was search how to fix this, but nothing doesn't work.
I have no idea what to do, and now I creating a new thread, maybe somebody can help.
Let's start.
I HAVE SECURITY ERROR when phone power on. After message disappear, screen goes down..
- No bootloader unlocked
- No rooted
- No usb debuging enabled
- No custom rom
- No custom recovery
This is the first time connecting with PC (Windows 10) and
- No driver (this is the most important issus)
I tried some drivers and installed but because phone only show error and go to shut down I don't know is this drivers working...
- Can't run fastboot
- Can't go to safe mode/recovery mode
- Can't do hard reset with hotkeys
The first thing is driver, while PC doesn't see phone I can do nothing.
Another important thing is that I cant do to safe mode. Without safe mode I cant do fastboot and flashing.
So maybe someone can help?
The Security Error means you installed an unsigned image on a device with a locked bootloader. You have to flash the original firmware following either this or this guide. You can get out of the security error by just flashing a signed recovery with fastboot, too.

I can't put phone in download mode. Doesn't work.
Nothing happening. Only show Security error on the screen.....
When connect with usb charger phone dones'n charge.
----------------------------------------
Put the phone in download mode:
Jellybean bootloader:
Turn off the phone, remove the battery. Put the battery in, hold volume up+down and plug in the USB cable, after 1 second of the USB cable being plugged in, let go of volume down, keep your finger on volume up until you see S/W Upgrade. If you see the LG logo you failed, repeat the step again.
ICS bootloader:
Hold Volume up + down while plugging in the USB cable is the method I think.
--------------------------------------
Volume up OR down, I always forget that.
After a failed attempt to invoke DL mode and switching phone off(hard reset usually), toggling the phone's power once increases the chance for success next time. Same as taking the battery out each time.
After the restore of the stock rom phone should reboot. If it shows the stock recovery's screen instead, phone will be instable later and might brick when trying to root it. Then repeat the flash process and it should boot now.
Just remove the battery, put it again, then hold Vol UP and while doing that plug in the USB. You're now in Download mode.
I've found a way to boot directly into bootloader/fastboot mode.
Press simultaniously the Vol+ and the power button until the red light lit up. Then instantly leave the two buttons and press the Vol- button until you see the fastboot menu. You're done!!

I see you don't get it. Up to now the only way to get into fastboot was via "adb reboot bootloader". Or from a successfully installed TWRP.
The "for years" known combinations will get you only into Recovery (Power + Vol up), FTM (Power + Vol down), or into EDL respective the useless DFU mode (Power + Vol up + Vol down). In case you've killed your recovery and your bootimg you now have a additional option to come back to a functional system. Especially for the A2017g with the useless DFU mode.
Can anyone with bricked A2017G confirm?

Confirmed NOT WORKING .
It doesn't matter if it's working or not. Thanks for the info anyway.
Neither stock recovery nor fastboot will help if you're stuck in DFU mode for G model. You can't do anything to recover the device in neither mode. All what helps is previously had enabled "allow BL unlock" in developer options. This gives you the possibilty to flash a stock ROM from external SD card. It still needs to be aproved from a bricked "DFU" user!

Would you kindly tell us what is not working? Don't you see the menu? Or don't you know what to do with fastboot?
In case you managed it to get into fastboot the next step would be to get into edl by using this trick. -->
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and.../guide-how-to-reboot-to-edl-fastboot-t3394292
@tron1, all this does not work. I tried cause I had a bricked (DFU) device. I needed to send it in for repair. And gues: they changed the motherboard.
Even the fastboot_edl results in "remote unknown command". Nearly all commands in fastboot for Axon 7 are disabled bei ZTE.
I will try if it's possible to reboot to edl with the fastboot from the unlock procedure from drakenfx.
forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-stay-t3461165
ZTE crippled the loader in a bad ass way. But they left the flash command inside. So it should be possible to flash at least a working recovery to the system if you manage it to get into bootloader. As long as my phone is working I won't try it on it. So volunteers!!
Hint -->
fastboot flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
fastboot erase <partition> erase a flash partition
I there a way recover such a bricked device?
I could only boot into bootloader. If i choose boot recovery the phone only shows a red light.
If i choose start its the same red light.
Or should i contact ZTE for a new phone?

I have bricked my Axon 7 several times this weekend, but new Qualcomm chipsets are unbrickable!!!!
1. There is a way to enter directly to EDL on most Qualcomm devices and works also in the Axon 7. Just ensure your phone is off, then press the three buttons at the same time. The red light will blink once, after that blink release the three buttons (you must be very quick releasing the buttons, otherwise the phone will turn on.
2. Plug your phone to your computer. Windows 10 should detect a new USB device QUSB_BULK without any warning message. Then you can use axon7tool to flash the original boot and recovery (stock or tenfar's signed TWRP).
After that, you will be able to enter into recovery, do a factory reset and then you will be able to restore de initial image from an SD formatted as FAT32 (no, exFAT is not supported by stock recovery) in case of stock recovery. Sideload will not work, always stop before finishing the transmission.
Oki, this is fine for you because you have the US version of the Axon the rest of the axon World is f..ed up with an useless so called DFU mode. Happy Birthday for your Axon.

That did the trick. Thanks
Any idea on why when i tried to enter bootloader mode on my Axon 7 (that i received 1 week ago), it stays on ZTE logo and nothing else happens... What is weirder is that there's a red light and my computer detect it when i do "fastboot devices" but i can't unlock the bootloader...
I tried to downgrade on B02 firmware and nothing... i'm beyond going insane right now.... :-/ It's like ZTE blocked on purpose the access to the bootloader mode...
Hi, This guide is made for flashing Alcatel OneTouch POP UP (6044D). This won't work on any other device. This guide is very simple. If your device has been soft BRICKED or Hard BRICKED this is the way to restore it.
THE FIRMWARE PROVIDED IN THIS THREAD DEOS NOT BELONG TO ME
I AM NOT RESPONSABLE OF ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO YOUR DEVICE BECAUSE OF THIS GUIDE, DO NOT TELL ME THAT YOUR DEVICE HAS BEEN BRICKED
What you will need
1: PC/ Laptop
2: Miracle Box (Link given down the thread)
3: Qualcomm Drivers
4: The Device
And some knowledge
So Let's start.
Link for Firmware:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByQqd_psFzvxSEJ1OUpxSFFtRW8/view
Link for Miracle Box:
Link will be available tomorrow
First download QUALCOMM drivers, it's very essential or your PC won't detect it.
Download Miracle box (PROVIDED in the THREAD). The miracle Box has been cracked so it does not need a dongle. Make sure to turn off the antivirus otherwise the Antivirus will delete it:crying:
Download the FIRMWARE of the device, I have tried other Firmware with different tools but this was the only one that worked, my device was also Hard BRICKED, so the FIRMWARE is tested. Also I have tried other guides provided online but neither of them worked for me, Flashing it with QFIL Will lead to an error or an Unfinished flash.
When everything is installed.
[PHOTOS ARE INCLUDED ONE THE BOTTOM OF THE THREAD]
Open Miracle Box, Click on QUALCOMM, Then on Flashing, There you will see two option "Write Flash" and "Custom Flasher", so Click on "custom Flasher". Then choose "File to Write".
Also choose Partion(s) that you want to Flash. e.g. System.img so choose system as Partion and system.img as file to Write.
Once all of this is done, boot the device into edl mode, yes, 6044D has edl mode.
HOW TO
So to boot into edl there are two ways to boot into it. First is through recovery mode (stock) or TWRP etc... So if you have a recovery then navigate to reboot to bootloader in recovery, when pressing power button to choose it, press volume + and - at the same time start pressing home button two to three time. and then will turn dark black or back with backlight turned on.
This one is for without recovery, in case you don't have a recovery then, press power, volume + - and home button at the same time, the phone will start and will show boot logo, keep pressing it till it restarts, (When restarting press the home button multiple time) and it will go in edl.
(But in my case, I had to do it multiple time to get to edl mode)
Back to PC. Plug the USB to the device and the PC then Press port button, if it doesn't detect it, it means that it's not in edl mode, try again
When all is set press start, ( everything said on the upper paragraph must be done quickly or it will give an error ) so be quick:good:
Once the partition is flashed, do the same one by one with the whole rom, mainly system, boot, recovery etc... (When doing it you don't need to reboot and come back in edl mode)
WHEN FLASHING DO NOT REMOVE THE USB PORT! OR IT WILL LEAD TO EVEN WORSE CONDITION, JUST DON'T
Reboot and enjoy!
If you have any problems or questions ask me, give a thanks, that keep me motivated:silly:
Some stock rom screenshots are attached,
Another thing is that of you have a custom recovery for Alcatel pop up 6044D, like TWRP, CWM or Philz recovery, so please send it to me
