I will add this, do NOT attempt to OEM lock again. I'm glad it had failed when you tried. Otherwise, we would already be done here.

Code:

$ fastboot oem lock

...

(bootloader) Failed to erase partition

(bootloader) General Lock failure!

Did some searching and found this:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery

However, being that you've already tried writing to the damaged partitions, it might not be of any help.

Not even sure that those tools would apply here but this seems to be a very rare or random error you've encountered.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SFVDan:
I am no expert, but the concept about reflashing the default partition table contained in this thread may be helpful. I am not fluent enough in this to advise, but given the detail with which you posed your OP, I figgered you would have no trouble making sense of this:

I had initially thought of this but his phone is still recognized by a PC as it normally should be and not as qhusb bulk. But if this could be a possible solution to his partition problem, then thank you for pointing him in that direction. :good:

ADB is version 1.0.31. Fastboot is 4.2.2+git20130218-3ubuntu23, which is the latest version on Ubuntu 14.04. I think my SDK platform tools are up-to-date, but I'll make sure to update when I get home.

What's wrong with running oem lock? What damage would it do?

I'll try using that link when I get home.

And the error is very strange, yes.

Thanks, that looks like it might help. I'll try when I get home. To be honest, the detail in the post is not indicative of my knowledge level. I just copied and pasted (or typed out) logs and command results.

[MENTION=5303660]opssemnik[/MENTION] is this is a similar issue to what your post is about? I'm not quite sure what qhusb_bulk means, but my phone is recognized as "Nexus 6" in the file explorer and fastboot/adb devices show the device.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
Had your OEM lock succeeded, with no OS installed, you could have inadvertently bricked yourself. It's in your best interest to leave it unlocked until you're sure you can boot into Android and ensure that the "allow OEM unlock" stays ticked after a reboot. If you'd like more information on that, click the top link in my signature.

First things first though, let's get you up and running. :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SFVDan:
That you knew enough to do so IS indicative -- at least from my perspective. Well done! Keep us all posted. :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Louie998:
Just as an FYI, the most current version of ADB is 1.0.32. The Ubuntu repositories do not contain the up to date version.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Correct. I had to download and install the full SDK to get the latest version. Couldn't flash the OTA with the version that was available from Ubuntu repositories.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chainfire:
If this just happened out of the blue, your internal storage probably has (hardware) issues, flash back stock boot and recovery and return it. Unless you have some data you really want to recover, what's the point of trying to fix it? You can never trust this device again.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
That's part of the problem, he can't get anything to flash. Everything attempted errors out.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chainfire:
... then return it without flashing back.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IINexusII:
Just return it as it is, had the same issue with my Samsung GS2 where the internal emmc fried itself, sent it back even when it was rooted and got it repaired free
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
That was lucky. On the S3, they refused to repair it, even if it hadn't been tampered because the EMMC fry had damaged the sector that stored the tamper flag, making it look rooted. 100's of XDA members ended up with a brick, even without modifying their devices
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randalldeflagg:
There is a thread in the nexus 5 forums with a similar issue. Give me a few minutes to dig around and see if I cant find it. The quick and dirty is what was already said. The emmc is fried and has locked its self.

Thanks all! RMA it is.

For some reason I wasn't getting notified of the new posts here and I was out of town.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] you're right. I can't trust it anymore and since nothing seems to work, I will just RMA.

[MENTION=1016303]randalldeflagg[/MENTION] Thanks for those links. I don't see the issue getting resolved in either of those, but the first one looks like exactly the same situation. I will do as those two did and RMA.

The only reason I wanted to flash back was to hide the fact that I had a custom recovery, but it seems like they really don't care.

Thanks again to all for the help. Hopefully I will have a new, working Nexus 6 in a couple days.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ray6279:
Exact same issue up to and including error logs. No FASTBOOT to perform anything! Any resolution here guys and girls?

Rather than just saying it's exactly the same situation, it may be worth describing your issue yourself and letting us know what you have and have not tried.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moritzio:
I had a similar problem yesterday. The system partition showed zero bytes in TWRP's file manager and I could not flash system.img. I finally found a later version of fastboot (mine was several years old) and then was able to flash. With the old version, the system.img file was too big (2GB). The new version used something called sparse image to flash in 500MB sections. I see that is now also available as an option in the latest TWRP 3.0.

I tried updating my xperia z2 to lollipop but it keeps restarting, doesn't go past Sony logo. I have tried 2 different lollipop versions 23.1.A.0.690 and 23.1.A.0.726 both were pre-rooted with recovery files. I can flash ftf files with the flash tool without any issues and successfully boot into lollipop. What am I doing wrong? I am coming from 4.4.4 rooted with dualrecovery installed.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellRoot:
Be sure to flash kernel that fits lollipop and clear cache and data ☺
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackburry:
I have a locked bootloader, would i still need to flash a new kernel? And I tried wiped cache and data, still the same problem.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myrums:
Have you tried to flash stock kernel only. With flashtool?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackburry:
No, Ill try that. Do i flash just the kernel or Fotakernel as well?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellRoot:
I meant that you should flash stock kernel with flashtool also... As your phone is still running the 4.4.4 kernel... The fota... I can't remember about that one.. Try looking it up on Google.. I did not include it when I flashed a lot... But better be safe than sorry.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myrums:
You can flash kernel first, then try to reboot. If it doesent reboot after flashing the kernel, you can try to flash the fota also.

Don't think its any danger flashing the fota. If memory serves me right, the fota is somhow connected with ota updates.

Remember to uncheck everyting under the wipe: section and check everything but the kernel(and fota if you want) under exclude section
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackburry:
I tried what you said, flashed the kernel first, didnt work. Flashed it again with kernel and fota, still didnt work. Any other suggestions? Once again i flash the latest firmware through flashtool and boot up no problem.

[T-Mobile LG G3] acefsw:
This is a public service announcement to save people headaches. RTFM. You cannot ever now, or in the past, take an OTA with a custom recovery. You must always have a stock recovery and system to do so. Period. If you do install a custom recovery, freeze the update center with Titanium, Rom Toolbox, or the like, so that you will remember you have a custom recovery and not accidentally take an update.

I hope this helps someone out there
[T-Mobile LG G3] Grizzie:
So what is the simplest way to update to the OTA firmware with a phone that is rooted with twrp, and a custom ROM? Is there a way to disable twrp without having to un-root? That way it might be possible to update to the OTA firmware. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
[T-Mobile LG G3] balthuszar:
.this is referring to stock software updates, unless it's updates of the rom, which you won't even receive if you're on a custom rom...to update a custom rom, you just download the updated version, or the OTA if the rom is so capable, and flash it in twrp like the first version you downloaded
[T-Mobile LG G3] acefsw:
Wait for a flashable zip for TWRP. You can revert to stock to take an OTA. Being rooted is not a problem per se, it's the custom recovery and having non stock roms. In theory you could flash the stock recovery and bootloader and then take an OTA. However, not having stock system/apps could likely create havoc

I've been trying to fastboot flash TWRP and root CM12S. Keeps reverting back to Cyanogen recovery. The option for updating cyanogen recovery is disabled. Any thoughts?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagarrai000:
Same with me.

But only go is, go back to 44s and then upgrade to 05q and then manually flash the cm12 OTA. Just remember when you upgrade to 05q, goto Developrs mode and turn off (disable) the cm recovery and then flash cm 12 OTA.

I did everything is fine but my wifi, network is not working Try to flash the modem but some glitch.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shankar9822:
Try this...

After flashing new recovery, when you go to reboot, hold down Vol-Down and Power before it boots into the OS and it should load the new recovery.

If you let it boot to the OS, it flashes back the CM recovery.

Let me know if this works.

If there is still no way with the Galaxy S4 from 2013, then I doubt there will be any way with the S5 or S6.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluff master:
Be aware that tripping Knox will disable Samsung Pay
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasK:
If I'm not wrong, Knox relies in eFUSE tech on the SOCs that basically burns a bit onto it when tampered with. This cannot be undone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HomerSp:
Indeed, it blows a fuse on the hardware. So unless you know how to replace that on the actual board, you will be out of luck.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icesteve:
Interesting didn't know that's how it worked.

I do micro soldering mostly on iPhone and iPads with damaged traces. I wonder if creating a jumper over this fuse would bring back untripped knox. Mines tripped, maybe I'll give it a shot one day I'm feeling risky.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nimnox:
The fuse is actually inside of the SOC (the main chip on the motherboard) so you aren't very likely to get to it without decapping the chip. Though this is speculation, most suspect it is using something like eFUSE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFUSE

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AkumaMax:
Hello everyone I have searched high and low to try and figure out what I am doing wrong here. About 6 months ago I was set on leaving the custom firmware scene and go back to stock. Did the appropriate steps through odin and flashed the newest firmware at the time(not even sure which one it was). Anyway I had an issue with my WIFI not even being able to be turned on at all. You would tap the icon to light up but to no avail. I am back to my old custom firmware which is JEDI X20(4.1.2) and am looking to upgrade to 5.0/1(lollipop) I am sure ATT has not gotten around to updating to it for the Note 2 so I am looking to go the custom route and take one of my choosing. My only concern is will I have a problem with my WIFI again. I know I had briefly read about some modem or baseband that was needed from Gingerbread to make WIFI work? Is this still the case? Out of anything I need working it's my WIFI.

Thanks in advanced
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
Rooted Nexus 5 running stock 4.4.4. Trying to copy the large TWRP folder from nexus 5 to Windows 8.1 laptop using the usb cable that came with the nexus.

Copying starts fine but at the last "15 minutes remaining" to finish point, the copying stalls and Windows puts up a popup saying it couldn't find the object to copy. When I try to go elsewhere in the nexus file structure I discover the connection has been lost and Windows can no longer see the nexus 5 files. So I need to shut down the laptop to safely disconnect the nexus.

This happens repeatedly. Smaller folders copied fine.

Is this because there is something special about twrp nandroid backup files that make them uncopyable, or could this mean there is a corrupt file or something else?

What should I do?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
There isn't anything special with TWRP backups. I'm also using Win 8.1 and never got such problems. Try this: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html. Run as admin, delete all usb related drivers, restart laptop and try again. BTW - you don't need to shutdown laptop to safely remove Nexus.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
Thank you very much. I have adb installed. Will deleting these drivers mess up my adb installation?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
SOLVED

I solved the problem. In case someone else runs into the same problem, here's the solution I discovered.

It did have to do with the size of the folder - indirectly. The problem was the 2 minute screen timeout I have on my nexus. When the display shut off on the phone the copying stalled. I changed the display timeout to 30 minutes and the folder had time to copy successfully. Obviously I don't want the display timeout to remain at 30 minutes and returned it to 2 min.

Note:

I was copying using the laptop. Maybe if I did it using the phone with a file manager like ES Explorer (if that is possible) this timeout wouldn't be a problem. Don't know. But at least I solved the problem for me.

There's a number of apps that can do this. Titanium can, but there's plenty of free ones too. Some are specific, some have this as one of their features. Of course, without a working Play Store, you'll have to sideload the app with an .apk you found somewhere, or from an "alternate" app store.
