[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
The bootloader can be re-locked but there's a process that must be followed. Click the top link in my signature for more information.

So, you flashed a factory image and then locked the bootloader before booting into Android and ticking the button in developer options to allow OEM unlock, correct?

If this is the case, you are bricked. There is no fix for this. You can RMA or return it to where you purchased it from. Sorry.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr0fess0rX:
Thank you but what do you mean by RMA?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
RMA = Return Material Authorization. i.e. warranty return from your retailer.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpierce2014:
Sadly if u would have done a simple search you would have known this is something that has been talked about for a few months now. RMA is the only option.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
While folks who visit these forums regularly may have know about this, Google really should update the factory images site for those who are not regular to these forums
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpierce2014:
Even if ur not a regular number one rule here is use the search, and u will find it. Simple search as issues with nexus 6 updating or updating nexus 6.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
I do agree that the factory images page should have some mention of the new procedure needed for locking. While it doesn't apply to all devices, it obviously applies here. Too many devices have been lost because of this.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Not disputing that.

But realize that there are folks out there who may expect the Nexus devices to work the way they always have, and may not bother to ever visit xda (maybe they are ok with their devices completely stock). If a user doesn't visit xda, they aren't going to search xda (unless they don't know how to do what they want to do, or they suspect things have changed)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr0fess0rX:
Why do I have to search about a standard procedure I am doing since years and there is no warning from Google that this time this procedure might brick the phone!!!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
This is what we've been discussing in the posts above. The process has changed significantly with the new security features of 5.1 and Google needs to update their page to reflect this.

That being said, you still should read before jumping into anything because things change. Plain and simple, things and procedures change. We're talking about a whole new OS with lollipop. It is not entirely your fault but in a sense, you, with a bit of searching and reading, could have avoided this situation.

Sadly, this is a very common problem, which led to me working with others and creating the guide to safely re-lock. A 2 minute search of XDA would have given multiple results for you to read.

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

I also feel that this hasn't been publicized enough. This thread is a perfect example. I understand that people have done things the same way for years but without an in your face warning of some sort, why would people think they were doing it wrong? Yes, my thread is mentioned in the sticky roll up thread, and for some that is enough. But as mentioned earlier, what about those that don't read the sticky roll up or use XDA at all?

The blame should fall on Google for not promoting a new procedure. They have to be aware of it, right? Why, also, have none of the Android forums or online magazines made mention of the new procedures? Obviously people use factory images and many have bricked. ???

I agree - at the very minimum, update the instructions on the factory images site. Currently, here's what it states
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ania_90:
My problem: samsung galaxy s2 gt i1900, rooted for the first time yesterday by someone not so experienced (me). After rooting, it worked well until I did a factory reset from phone menu. After that, it got stucked on boot, samsung logo with the yellow triangle. It only works now in download mode - I cannot acces the reset/recovery menu - it restarts over and over. Odin recognizes the phone.

I have read many threads here , but I didn`t find a real step by step solution. Could be my fault. Anyway, I need your kind help before making another wrong move.

From what I understood so far, I could download the original firmware from : www.sammobile.com, then Download mode - Odin - PDA - load the original firmware - start. If this is right, I have a few questions:

1. In odin what options must be un / checked?

2. After this step (if I`m right so far) can I still root the phone after fixing the problem? If so, please recommend me a safe firmware. Or if it`s possible to load directly a custom rom (not the original one but a safe, working one), please tell me (link).

If I`m wrong so far please teach me how to fix this frustrating issue.

Please excuse my english and thank you.

Hi,

Follow this guide as it is to make your phone in working condition.

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/samsung-galaxys2-i9100-unroot-official-jellybean-firmware-460777

After this step, you can root your phone anytime, and even try custom ROMs on your i9100.

Hello,

I have a G3 with Underground WM6 rom. i upgraded IPL/SPL 3.08, and now it is stoped in the boot screen. I downgraded to the rom CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE for down the IPL/SPL but it's only down the IPL. SPL always 3.08:mad:

Please help me ASAP

Thank you so much.
[G4] Zzan:
First of all if you have a G3 why are you posting in the G4 subforum?

Why do you need to downgrade the SPL? Aren't you already CID unlocked, according to your post you have a custom rom installed?

You could try to flash a FULL Official Carrier rom to try to overwrite your bootloaders with an older version. Don't know if there are commands disabled in the new bootloaders to prevent this from happening though.

As long as you can get to the bootloader your phone isn't dead. Whenever this happens to me I always recover to an official carrier rom then proceed to the custom rom of my choice.
[G4] RClub:
Sorry,

I think downgrade SPL for compatible with official rom (O2 2.21), i trying it but now i cant upgrade this rom:confused:

it is still in the bootloaders, so i know my G3 isn't dead:D

here it is, silent...

IPL 1.01

SPL 3.08

GSM 01.12.10

OS 1.5.4.2

Please save me...
[G4] nothin:
tell me, if hard reset tells you format failed.
[G4] RClub:
Yes, i'm sure. I make hard reset and it reports format failed:o
[G4] nothin:
i found method for this, its used with G3, so we need confirmation to be sure, if it may help you too.... it "shouldnt" be dangerous...but better wait for reply of masters here...i saved my machine with that one...

my english is so damn poor...forgive me,please...

method:

-you need to format sd card to fat16(fat)

-kill wcescomm process from task manager on pc,

-find program named romupdate.exe, or mtty.exe

-go into bootloader mode, and plug wizard on usb,

-find in options of mtty(romupdate.exe) port, choose \\.\WCEUSBSH001

-now, press enter on main screen of mtty(romupdate),

-on >CMD type r2sd - it will make special header(and copy of os too, but its less important) which may help to make format with other method,

-wait 'till process ends,

-softreset pocket to get into bootloader mode...and do what machine says, its other method for format, when it ends, it "may" boot normally after softreset(you may try to do hard reset to confirm), even if it is not booting, format will let you to flash once more.

if it is stuck on bootscreen again, find info about rescue flash, now, it should be possible after that "format". If hard reset says "format failed" you wil not be able to flash anything - if it is not, you may do wantever you need, so try to flash wizard love, then any ROM with shelltool(yup yup its not typical for g3, but for me its ONLY method)..

i am not sure, if its useful..i saved one machine by that method...
[G4] RClub:
Thank you Nothin,

I take your solution and its reports in the cmd>

"***** user area size = 0x1EC80000 Bytes

R2SDBackup() - Download type = 5

usTotalBlock = 1 sizeof(SDCARD_SIGNATRUE_TABLE)=512

You didn't get the proper security level to download a specific image"

...the phone is cid locked:mad: :mad:

i must go to imei-check?:o
[G4] nothin:
damn, i was hoping you will not see this damn thing:(

btw command to mtty is: r2sd os ...

i am not sure what now..

try to RUU dopod ROM, maybe what is able to be overwritten will lead you to use mtty r2sd os ....

http://pda.oleyek.com/ROM/Others/RUU_Prodigy_1070302_103_10703102_CMCC_CHS_Ship.exe

it is known as CIDlock remover... , do not ak me, if it works... i flashed this and mtty method was usable for me...

btw i have identical machine as you, i think.

strange, that old users arent trying to help, they surely know 100% methods.. ..... :S

maybe you need such topic inside wm06?

btw, mtty method is linked to awizard info, so maybe this link will be useful...

Hi Nothin,

any ideas?

thank you Nothin:)
[G4] nothin:
i am trying to get info about that... but i must wait for replies on other forum....

i wish i could help :( :(

i am wondering...damn where are the others...whole forum is asleep?

have you tried flashing official ROM for o2? then mtty?

i am interested in solving that problem - it may be helpful knowledge...

upd: tell me, how did You format card (fast format, normal)?

it may be difference with format method. Do slower, normal format of sd, then try mtty.

and it MUST be fat 16.

of course, remember about activesync kill etc...

upd...

overall conclusion is imei ....

you probably read that topics...

But, I want to remove all kind of user interface except ability to start some games from the home screen.

So far, I have this setup:

*APEX Launcher

- notification bar removed

- dock removed

- desktop locked

- pinch-in gesture to go to the app drawer

But, I don't know how to remove the navigation bar.

There is an app which I used before "immersive full screen mode", but it seems it doesn't work on Lollipop 5.1.

EDIT: I'm now rooted + CWM recovery touch installed, so I think I will go for custom rom instead of the official. Thanks XDA for the information, please close thread, if anyone wants some help with this, let me know by PM

Hello All

any ideea if I can update the xperia z1 firmware that I downloaded with xperifirm without having access to flashmode through volume buttons?

I am on stock 4.4.4 firmware, with locked bootloader, without root.

i can enter in fastboot through adb terminal, flashtool detects the phone, drivers are installed.

is it possible to install the xperifirm downloaded firmware like this? or I should just wait for the OTA update?

OR:

since I want to play a little with the phone I was thinking that I could root it / flash custom recovery also but I think those need the buttons to be usable ...

but if you consider that I can manage with just fastboot mode and drivers installed to install cyanogenmod or something like that, please point me to the right tutorial.

P.S. in case you wonder - I won't repair the phone, i will move to z4 when available, but still, I want to have the z1 software updated :P

thank you all

have a nice day

I just fixed my broken Screen on my Nexus 4 (i earn money repairing phones), and i got a problem. The Proximity Sensor and Light sensors werent working so i just took them off and tried to boot up again. But my phone isnt booting anymore. It just keeps bootin inside a bootloop. Device was never rooted or unlocked. So i tried resetting but didnt work. Then unlocked the device and flashed a custom recovery and several different roms but didnt work either.

Now i wanted you guys help, if you could tell me if nexus devices dont boot up with missing hardware. Because my experience tells me that almost every smartphone even boot up with mossing hardware like the sensors and things.

Dont know if anyone ever had a problem like this, but i hope you guys can help me.

I dont want to huy a new proxysensor before being sure its about the missing hardware, cause the sensors are like 20 $ and that phone isnt much worth anymore.
