[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee.jarratt:
Basically, I tried to flash the latest 5.1 image but unsuccessfully as the system.img wasn't extracted. For some reason I locked the bootloader and now I can't boot into a working system, and I can't reflash anything as the bootloader is locked. When attempting to unlock, it is telling me to go into dev settings to allow unlock.

Is there anything I can do?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Few threads about this today. Seems a regular user error. Can't think of a fix right now..

try flashing the factory img via your bootloader/fastboot
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Can't. Boot loader is locked and requires a setting in android to be changed but android can't boot. Catch 22

Are you positive? I just flashed a Nexus 7 from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 with fastboot. fastboot oem unlock worked without checking that box.

That's what all the threads about this today are saying... Including the op of this thread.

Damn, that's really lame...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beachbum40:
Wow this craps really ticking me off with this update and all. I have been rooting modding for years and every damn time I get a device that uses fastboot I get nothing but trouble. I hard bricked three devices in the past with fastboot and it seems over the years fastboot hasn't gotten any better or easier. What a shame I love the nexus 6 but I'm seriously starting to reconsider and going back to the good old Odin devices.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serdaj:
I'm an idiot.

I made the mistake of trying to update my Nexus 6 (Stock 5.0 encrypted, rooted, Xposed) while talking to AT&T customer service on my other phone. Distracted flashing is a bad idea. I am sure I made SEVERAL mistakes.

I too was trying to flash the new 5.1 image and got an error when running ./flash-all.sh (I'm on a Macbook). Friend suggested I try to do it by flashing the boot.img recovery.img and then system.img manually. Got the boot to flash. Recovery flashed. System failed. Unfortunately I have closed the terminal windows and don't have the errors anymore. When it failed it said something about insufficient space. So (I'm assuming this is where I f**ked up) I hit start from the boot loader screen to boot into the system and delete some things even though I had plenty of space (over 20gb). It booted fine. When I went to reboot into bootloader, I accidentally selected recovery. It booted back into TWRP which confused me. I thought best bet would be to wipe the device and start over fresh. I wiped everything and booted back into bootloader... blackness. Now I have no response from the device at all. Nothing. No response from the power button. Nothing when I plug to a charger. Just blackness. Just a pretty, 2 day old Nexus 6 (warranty replacement from T-Mobile on Tuesday).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAmazingDave:
You wiped the boot partition too? Ouch...

Last time I did that, it was with my Nook Color. Thankfully that was able to boot from SD cards...

I have a similar problem with another Nexus 7 right now. Flash went corrupt, won't boot at all. No bootloader, no Google logo, nothing.

My only hope is that the device still talks to the computer, it shows up as a Qualcomm device under Ports in Windows Dev Manager. QPST picks it up and says it's in download mode. If I can source the hex files to flash, I think I can bring it back. I'm only sharing that because it might be your only hope too. Godspeed, sir.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
lol, whats so hard with fastboot? fastboot oem unlock is rocket science? how about fastboot flash recovery recname.img? only way to hardbrick with fastboot is to flaah something to your device that doesnt belong there, or flash something into the wrong partition. how did you "hard brick" with fastboot???
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kf2m:
The problem is that bootloader got relocked, and the OP is unable to get to the setting to enable oem unlock. Fastboot is errors out saying to Check "Allow OEM unlock", and FAILED (remote failure).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
I would find it hard to believe that there is no solution to this. With all the bright minds here on XDA, I'm sure it can be figured out. The unlock setting must be stored somewhere, and it should be accessible.

When I first got my Nexus 6, I booted into the bootloader right after taking it out of the box (i.e., without booting into Android), and I was able to unlock the bootloader without having checked "Allow OEM unlock" in developer options. This could mean that the setting could potentially be located in /data somewhere.

OP, have you tried a factory reset in recovery? Have you tried playing around with the other bootloader menu items (e.g., "Factory", etc.)?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee.jarratt:
Thank you for taking a look at my post. I have tried all the options in the bootloader menu with no dice. Things aren't looking promising for me...

edit.. nevermind, i see ive already said that
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee.jarratt:
Currently using Crouton to run Ubuntu from a Chromebook so wouldn't know if I have the latest version (I installed the package from this PPA). If I managed to upgrade to the latest version, would there be a workaround to my solution? Or would it still give me an error when trying to oem unlock?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
Ok if you cant flash a recovery in fastboot can you at least boot it?

fastboot boot recovery.img
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
A locked bootloader disallows "fastboot flash" and "fastboot boot" commands, so the answer is no.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
Damn that sucks
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeman_g:
I have discussed this issue with Google and Motorola support for several hours

The only thing they mentioned that Motorola received and image of unlocked bootloader for this version but can't provide it right now (and do not know if they will be able in the future)

I still do not know in which way such image can help me as locked boot will not allow to reflash itself.

But at the moment I see one theoretical issue which can be done: the phone and its bootloader can be updated with sideload and ADB so if there exists and image of unlocked boot or the whole 5.1 image that can be flashed with sideload - then it should work. But I do not know if such images exist
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I'm sure there will be a way but I can;t for the life of me think where it could be. For those who still have a custom recovery, I'm sure a simple sqlite statement in a .db file somewhere will address the issue... but for those who haven't I really don't know.

That's exactly what I said in the first of these threads that popped up. It must be a recent change, possibly just with 5.1 becasue I got mine and immediately unlocked it without setting anything in developer options
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
It may be because we unlocked without booting to Android initially. Once you boot into Android, it may somehow set a flag somewhere requiring the "Enable OEM unlock" option to be checked.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Could be - in truth I cannot remember if I booted up or not before unlocking. I definitely didn't set it up though. Out of interest are you encrypted with a lockscreen password? Someone mentioned if they set OEM unlock on 5.1 with an encryption password, it resets at each boot and needs to be selected each time, but if they remove the password, it persists

I'm on 5.0.2 and unencrypted so I cannot attest to that/
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intub8:
I was wrong about it persisting. About 30 seconds after rebooting OEM unlock reset with and with out password selected. I'm wondering if someone selects OEM unlock and reboots into fastboot if they can unlock the bootloader before rebooting.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilkyJohnson:
This sucks for all those involved.

I never once booted into android when I got mine. I didn't even take the factory screen protector off before that girl was unlocked. I even made a comment in a thread last night that it wasn't needed. I guess in 5.1 El Goog meant what they said in developer options.

I'm with [MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION], I think using TWRP's file manager is the way to go. Can you guys use adb through sideload? Test it by typing "adb devices" (no quotes) through adb sideload. I remember when the Note 2's BL was unlocked it was through flashing an 'aboot.img' (was that the name?) so I'm sure a damn Nexus can be unlocked somehow.

Good luck.

[MENTION=3682533]AdamOutler[/MENTION] would be the guy I would hunt down.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeman_g:
Yes, if you go to Uptade through ADB you will see ADB device and even can send any OTA updated to the device (with no luck) so as I said I believe there should be the way either flash the whole ROM through ADB or at least send unlocked bootloader
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Not encrypted, but with a lock screen PIN.

Yeah, me too!

The lock flag is stored in the "sp" partition. We've already figured that out (i.e., I made a copy of my sp partition when the bootloader was locked and when it was unlocked, and subsequent flashing of that partition would lock and unlock the bootloader, depending on which sp image I would flash). We just haven't figured out where the "Allow OEM unlock" flag is yet.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikebio:
Not that this helps anyone, but I just sent mine back to Motorola. I did the same thing as OP and couldn't get a workaround for this. I am using my N4 now until I get mine back (estimated next Tuesday).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofkings11:
So Ive read all the posts in this thread and am still not sure I fully understand the issue (its my first device that uses fastboot so Im not that experienced with it)

Im currently rooted with an unlocked bootloader running cleanrom and I want to go back to stock to receive the 5.1 OTA (i.e. without having to flash any image files) how do I do that without having this issue screw up my phone?

I was planning to use Wug's nexus root tool kit to help me get back to stock and re-lock the bootloader.

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeman_g:
The only thing is: do not lock your bootloader :)
[HD2 General] btreat:
I recently purchased a "like new" HD2 because my old one is finally giving out. As I'm looking through device information, I noticed something strange, at least to me. Under Hardware Informationt it shows RAM size at 576MB and Flash memory size at 1024MB, but Storage size is only 206.63MB. So, I looked at the Memory and it shows Storage total at 206.63MB and Program total at 208.2MB. This is both before and after a hard reset. Any Ideas? Thanks.

Other info just in case:

OS version 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)

Manila Version 2.5.20181527.0

ROM version 3.14.707.3 (04666) WWE

ROM date 11/10/10

Radio version 2.15.50.14

Protocol version 15.42.50.11U
[HD2 General] Mister B:
I assume your handset is the TMOUS HD2 with red & green end/call keys as that the only HD2 model that had 1024mb flash memory.

Problem is your 707 ROM version 'singapore!' probably only works with the standard HD2 with 512mb & is calculating what space left from 512mb rather than 1024mb.

I personally would flash the energy WM6.5 WWE rom linked below as works both on standard HD2 & the TMOUS HD2.

Flash it, contains ROM only so will keep your current radio which good & will also keep current spl. Once installed energy boot it & after first boot/quick setup do a hard reset as better stability this way.

All tools & roms & info can be found in HD2 wiki >

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/HTC_HD2

Give it a good read & do not flash wrong radio to the TMOUS HD2 as it kills it.

A good radio for your HD2 should you not like current one is same as I use & link is in my signature ...
[HD2 General] btreat:
Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, it has the red and green buttons, but it doesn't say T Mobile anywhere, not on the phone itself, or in the software, which was also a little confusing. You answered my question perfectly, though. I'm certainly no expert, but I was thinking in the direction you pointed, which was to flash it, and the energy rom was on my short list. The phone looks new and is working fine, but I'm sure the memory would be an issue at some point. Thanks again.
[HD2 General] btreat:
Update: I found the last T Mobile rom update on my computer (apparently I thought I might need it some day), and decided to give it a shot. I now have 685.75MB of storage space and 458.74MB of program memory. Now that all looks good, I'll start messing around with it. Thanks again for your input.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
^ Energy is good, older one such as I linked to better than newer in my opinion.

Couple of other good custom roms in the wiki .

Originally it would of had T-Mobile logo on top of digitizer under call speaker so expect the digitizer been changed to standard HTC non branded.

2 good things with TMOUS HD2 is the extra memory plus the antenna seems better (housing is 1.5mm longer on bottom) and they seem get better reception :)

* Just be careful on radios if flashing *

Have fun and enjoy your HD2 :)

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

Think we still have links in wiki for T-Mobile USA roms, think I have them on hard disk too should ever be needed.

Would recommend custom WM6.5.x myself though, Energy is very good as is Artemis & CleanEx

I just got this battery from Lionbattery and it is emazing. I use to get about 15 hrs with standard batter. With this one I get 48 hrs, it is really worth it for me. I only had the battery for 3 days thus far.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] alfred_jp:
i just got the extended battery - and am in the process of charging it now...

well, as what most people said - the back cover that came with the battery doesnt fit snugly into the unit. there is a outcrop on the seams (much like a bulge if you were too tight a pants)...

question, though - it says on the label that i should initially charge and discharge it between 3 to 5 fives to maintain the noted capacity... what does it mean? that i cannot use it until ive gone through 3 cycles?

also - how does one full discharge the device? i mean, doesnt the device turn off automatically after some set of seconds? how can i keep it ON the entire time?

thanks in advanced!!!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] over2land:
The whole "Lithium batteries has no memory" thing is really a myth. All batteries have a memory. The Lithiums are just way, way better at forming a false memory than Ni-Cads or even Nmh batteries. The lithiums are so good, in fact, that you can treat them as if they have no memory.

Anyway, to train the battery intially, put it through 3-5 full charge/discharge cycles. I do it with normal usage. Charge it till it is full and then use it until it shuts off. Repeat. The hard part (at least for me) is not plugging it into a USB for syncing or for modding the thing... cause that'll charge it, and you don't want to apply any charge (if possible) for those first 3-5 cycles. When I get the first battery alarm, I'll back the phone up just incase, then keep going.

Also, I've heard it was important that once you start charging it, you don't stop until it is fully charged again. ie, don't unplug it from the wall to make a call... go over to the wall and make the call while it is plugged in.

There is a site that we highly recommend for information about batteries. The site is www.batteryuniversity.com.

They also have detailed information on how to prolong the life of your Li-Ion battery HERE.

If you're up to doing some reading, you'll find the information very useful.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] tl_bull:
Li-Ion's do not have memory. They have a drastic drop once they go under a certain point of discharge.

I have the 2800 mAh, it works great and after a full day of use I have about 40% battery life.

-2 hrs on phone

-40 emails

-random web browsing

-Turn 3G and WiFi off when not used.

So you can see from the stock 1300 mAh which would last me about 9 hrs this is a HUGE step in the right direction.

Mine was on ebay for 30 bones with car charger, and Wall charger.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] alkizmo:
Don't buy on eBay, at least not from lifestyle0806

Last year I ordered 2 extra batteries for my Nokia E61 from that guy.

The two batteries were wrapped by a fake nokia sticker. When I removed the sticker, I found inside the REAL size of the battery. It was a small 850mAH battery inside a plastic frame with a sticker claiming it was 1350mAH

So on eBay you'll find 2800mAH or 3000!!!... for only 20$ or something... but they are totally fake.

Or at least, they'll SUCK big time

I still used those two fake batteries, and one of them randomly shuts down my phone even if it's still full. The other one will drop to 1 bar of battery, then spike back up.. then drop.

Great information and I am glad to hear that I don't need to cylce through charge and discharge in order to get good performance out of the battery.

I bought a 2800 mah battery for my 8525 off ebay from a cheap vendor and i admit it did give me more power but on closer inspection when i cracked the pack open it was two 1100mah wired together. I know this because they were stamped with 1100mah lol. Im still using it until this day but you truely get what you pay for. I would take the advice and buy from a reputable vendor or.... take my knowledge if you want a 2200 mah battery for 15-20 bucks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Bunker Buster:
I got an extended battery 2850mah from ebay. Initially it is no better than the regular battery.Then after a few cycles (5X) when I check my SPB battery meter which indicates the approx run time in hours it comes to 10 hours +! with the regular battery it only goes 3-4 hours. In terms of percent it stays at 100% longer.

I bought a 2800 from 360wireless on ebay and have had it for almost a month. It certainly has doubled my usage, so with random surfing on 3G/HSDPA (roughly an hour or so of solid surfing), a keepalive connection on my IM program (on E/G for battery purposes), screen dimming after 30 seconds, and about 10 emails a day and 50-100 chat messages, I'm at about 50% at the end of my day.

I'm good with that. I don't need to open it and inspect it. If it's 2 batteries put together, as long as it does the job, I'm good.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] ktwildchild:
I second that.

I have had the battery for several months now and it's GREAT!! I have gone 3 days (while traveling) without a charge and it works great for me. The only thing that I would like to have is a case that fits with this big fat battery however.

Other than that it's been the best investment (minor compared to luggin around chargers) I have made yet in this device.

But the extended battery seems a little bulky for my liking.
