I tried to go back to Stock with factory images from Motorola Unlocked. When i try fastboot flash partition gpt.bin it shows Preflash Validation Failed and Failed to erase partition error. I cannot even go into recovery I am stuck anyone please help!.

I am getting Failed to erase partition error when i try to flash anything!.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
If you are in bootloader mode you should be able to get into recovery. Just hit volume down to scroll to recovery and then volume up to select recovery.

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

Just remember - you cannot downgrade the bootloader or the partition table!!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vignesh245:
It's not going into recovery or rebooting the only thing I see is the fastboot menu!! What ever I do to flash it says failed to erase partition!! can you tell me why this error in fastboot!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vignesh245:
What should I do now!! to get my phone back working!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
well the last guy who got that error had to format his data partition but he had an unlocked bootloader with TWRP and could get into TWRP.

What happens when you connect your phone in bootloader mode to your PC, open a command shell and type:

fastboot devices

Does it return your device's serial number?

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

You should not be trying to flash a lower version of the partition table!!!!

You may have to do a factory reset.

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

gpt.bin is the partition table. If you were trying to flash a lower version partition table than your bootloader version, you cannot do that!!!

What is your bootloader version?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vignesh245:
Thanks for the reply!!

Yes it returns a Serial number in fastboot! How flash the correct partition?.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
Is Motorola Device Manager installed on your computer? If not, install it:

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481

Then connect your phone in fastboot mode to your computer and run MDM and see if MDM can repair your phone.

Also - are you using version 2 of mfastboot to flash?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vignesh245:
its 60.11
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vignesh245:
I am using normal fastboot ! and I have MDM install will try to repair using MDM !!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
That is the lollipop 5.0 bootloader. What version of stock were you trying to flash? Kit Kat 4.4.4? If so, that is what happened here - you tried to downgrade the partition table. You cannot downgrade the partition table once you upgrade the bootloader.

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 PM ----------

OK let me know how it goes.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vignesh245:
Thanks for the clarity in reply!!

Where can i get the stock rom and Files for lolipop 5.0 ?? So I can get back to my stock recovery!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
Did MDM not fix your phone? Are you on the XT1095?

http://www.graffixnyc.com/motox.php#

Also, I don't know what build you are, there looks to be more than 1 build for 5.0. Check out the support thread that the link above links too.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vignesh245:
MDM did not fix my phone yes I am on Xt1095.

Thanks will try it and let you know
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
OK, it is probably the custom recovery.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vignesh245:
I am getting Preflash validation failed and I found I have 22.21.11 version installed using MDM. and it says in pink color error in phone as failed to downgrade primary_apt.

Can you help me with this now??
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
I would not mess around with the partition table. See if you can do

fastboot format data

fastboot format cache

To wipe your data and cache partitions.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vignesh245:
I cannot do that it says the error as in the attached screenshot!

When I select recovery using volume up it says ||boot up failed||

Can Motorola help my situation Mine is a pure edition?

||version downgraded for primary_gpt||
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
Yes. It is still under warranty. I would get a warranty replacement. If you can't flash anything in BL mode and can't get into recovery and MDM can't repair your phone, idk what else to do.

Motorola should let everyone who unlocks their bootloader know you can't downgrade the bootloader or partition table. They should release the factory images of every version of Android for a device and let people know they have to stick to the version for their bootloader

Quite frankly, this is Motorola's fault for not doing that.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vignesh245:
Thanks a lot will contact motorola get my device replaced !.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arviecensus:
Some weeks ago received Oneplus One.

Upon connection with USB cable to laptop: "cannot find drivers. device not properly installed". Cannot find device connected, let alone find files.

Tried same with another specimen of Oneplus One, to connect to same laptop. Drivers installed immediatly. Device found on laptop.

Retried with my own Oneplus One. Still same problem: no drivers, no installation, no connection. (How possible? Required drivers were not the same as with other Oneplus One specimen, already installed?)

Need to synchronize phonebook and calendar with Thunderbird inside laptop. Use MyPhoneExplorer, in past with rooted HTC Sensation. So, how to connect? Found weird solution:

1 Create and setup thetering hotspot in Oneplus One (password etc)

2 Start "USB tethering"

3 Start MyPhEx client in Oneplus One

4 Connect Oneplus One with laptop via USB cable.

5 MyPhEx client: check Hotspot IP address, and in MyPhEx setup connection type to fixed IP address. Provide same address.

Ready. Does the trick: MyPhoneExplorer can synchronize things, and also read/write/upload/download files.

NOW BIG QUESTION:

How to make ROOT? Now that ordinary USB connection fails?

PLEASE ADVISE! Greetz

But since phone is wiped during rooting processen, one looses the app and therefore also the connection. So rooting process can be started, but not completed: A brick.

[Verizon LG G2] Rogue_saber:
Recently my G2 stopped recognizing the sim card after it was dropped. The part holding the sim tray came loose from the motherboard. I purchased another motherboard off ebay to replace it (same model, carrier, memory, etc). After installing the 'new' board, the phone only vibrates but doesn't boot. Holding the power button, phone just vibrates repeatedly. Trying to boot into recovery only causes vibrations. If I switch back to original motherboard, phone boots correctly, just doesn't see sim card. I had another motherboard shipped out. Same result; only vibrations. Phone has 92% battery. Plugging phone in with 'new' board installed does nothing; original board charges fine.

Everything seems identical on replacement boards including model #. The ONLY difference I see is below model #, original shows "1.0 (4)" and replacement boards show "1.0 (1)" and "1.0 (2)". I assume these are revision numbers and can't imagine an older revision causing this issue.

Anyone have an idea on what could be causing this issue?

Thanks in advance.

RS
[Verizon LG G2] Starcruiser322:
Same issue, same model... my reason for switching boards is different though.

Did you ever get this figured out?

I bought a phone with a broken screen, so I'll try swapping other parts too and see if that helps.
[Verizon LG G2] Starcruiser322:
Swapped the button/lower board, and then thought to plug it in (derp).

I have signs of life!

Although I can't tell now if the board swap was necessary, sorry. I seriously doubt it is a compatibility issue though, more likely a problem with the main flex cable or something for you.

Hello friends,

I am planning on purchasing a Nexus 9 and from my understanding you can identify if the model is a bad one (light bleeds, bad buttons). I was wondering if anyone knows the starting serial number of the Nexus 9 which does not have any of these issues.

Thanking you.

I am currently running DarthStalker rom and before that was on Hyperdrive. I would like to try out one of the "L" roms but I am still on the 900TUVUBM17 baseband. From what I have read I have to update and be on the N1 or N9 or maybe even Bsomething? So my question is what is the simplest way to do this and is there a way to do it without a PC as mine is down for a bit. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] HappyPlato:
Yes, you can do it without a PC. Make sure you have the latest TWRP recovery installed.

1. flash the bootloader 0B6 or the latest one for your phone. Don't flash the incorrect one.

2. flash the modem 0B6 or the latest one for your phone. Don't flash the incorrect one.

3. Verify that you have both of the above, if not, do it again. I had to do it twice for it to stick.

4. flash your choice of custom Lollipop ROM. Make sure to follow the ROM's instruction for flashing, have to backup and wipe everything.

5. Wait about 15 mins for the first boot, you are done.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Free RAM isn't bad RAM IMHO. That old and outdated saying is only applicable to those who only have 512mb RAM or lower because cached sessions are stored in the memory. But if your used up RAM is occupying 3/4 or more of the device even without any applications running then "used RAM is bad RAM" because you don't expect any cached session to use over 1GB of memory. It should only occupy a few hundred MBs. Which means cache aren't the ones occupying your memory but (unoptimized)background apps does.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
totaly useless use 0C7 deodexed from other guide. the callrecord and the lite mod should still work on 0C7 though.

a disclaimer: this shouldn't mess up your phone but if it does.... don't blame me. im not responsible for anything.

You will need FlashFire for this process

and you will need to be coming from the stock 5.0.1 odexed rom or the goldeneye rom

This is a Stock Deodexed Rom. the initial zip has no modifications except to remove some totally useless apps. i had to use an SU zip in the file to give it proper root so you need to go to SU once its installed and set it to grant for now till i figure out how to fix it. i am attaching some mods at the bottom of the post.

those mods are:

Lite Mod - it will remove all the junk and make your rom almost compleatly bloat free.\

Center Clock Mod- kinda self explanatory

call recording mod- also kinda self explanatory.

im having a slight issue with the 5 way reboot mod. i will post it when its fixed.

here is the download link for the rom

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952597907

Instructions:

1.Copy rom and any mods you want to your SD card

2. open flashfire and setup a wipe. do everything except internal storage

3. add the zip for the rom

4. add the mod zips

5. make sure the order in the menu of flash fire is:

Wipe

StockRomDeodexed.zip

any mods.

6.click flash

7. once it reboots it takes forever to start up for the first time. be very patient

if you like my work please hit thanks.

let me know if there are any bugs you come acrossed. ive read that deodexing makes the NFC weird... i have no clue i dont use it.

Edit: i will be releaseing a custom rom in the near future. would people want the stock launcher, nova launcher or the s6 launcher in this rom?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] NGD1:
mods

Hate to be that guy, but it seems the mods don't all want to work

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
its going to be a custom rom based on the stock rom. im modifying the hell out of it.

i will try on the data toggle. im also gonna do 3minit battery so you can customize the batery icon and im going to try to see if i can do the potato clock mod also so you can edit the clock with an app. ive also changed boot animations to normal lollipop, added normal Lollipop ringtones, ive changed out apps with s6 apps (s6 keyboard, s6 file browser, ect...) . also some apps are better with aosp lollipop so i will be switching out some apps from there. i have also used overlays to theme the system orangeish

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] NGD1:
im gonna make a quick list of potential things for lolliop on our phone [MENTION=6568249]mateo121212[/MENTION] im sure these can help you theme / modify your new rom.

1. S4 Lollipop Themes & Apps Forum

2. S4 Lollipop Statusbar Mods

3. S6 Ported Apps(thought id toss this up for good measure)

4. S4 TW System Overlays(easy theming for notification bar and such)

5. S4 Lollipop Dialer / Contact themes(these are kind of a hit and miss, they will work with the right permissions)

6. S4 Lollipop Keyboard overlay themes

hope this helps, also Mateo you said your going for more of an orange theme? are you using overlays or changing system color stuff?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
first release will be overlays. later i will be theming the system
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] NGD1:
would it be troubling to possibly create an alternative system theme down the line that's more..darker?

maybe dark dark grey with aosp blues or something?

not asking for it any time soon just a thought lolz
