[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cstokes86:
Hi all,

Like a complete n00b when updating my boot loader I accidentally flashed the Hammerhead image instead of the Bullhead image. After rebooting my device just powered off. Didn't come back at all. I did not realize until it was too late that I have the wrong image.

Tried all the key combinations and nothing. The version I flashed was hhz12d. It's a brand new Nexus 5x and I'm willing to do anything to get this working again. Any guidance or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. I will give this a try, but will it work if the device won't even power on? I mean, literally will not react to any button presses.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cstokes86:
Update: This did not work as the device wont power on thus the LGUP app will not detect the device. No combination of key presses does anything.

I do now see in the device manager a device called QHSUSB_BULK showing up. Maybe there's still hope?

If no one replies, in my experience, just inbox one of the old devs from our phone. Sometimes, if their not too busy they'll give you some time. They're just dudes trying to help people have cooler phones, anyway.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v1c70r:
In my case, I get those errors because my bootloader was locked. I've unlocked a lot of times but not with the right code. I suggest you to try unlocking the bootloader with the right IMEI (not the one on the box nor the one in Flashtool) and enabling USB debugging.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve233:

In case you use linux, try this setting permissions first:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/help/flashing-rom-twrp-bootloader-boot-img-t3241148

Edit:

You mentioned cmd.exe, so I guess you use windows and this is not the case,

however it may be similar issue for windows, since you run cmd from admin.

In my case, on linux, without permissions, my computer could only recognize the device from superuser/admin. With permissions like in the thread above, any user could run commands to device, and finally I did the trick without superuser/admin.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreiundachzig:
I can see you are using Windows 10. There are problems with driver verification. Have a look in device manager and check if your device is recognized properly in fastboot mode. If drivers cannot be installed you have to boot windows with signed driver verification turned off. For this press and hold shift and klick on reboot. Then choose troubleshooting and then something like restart options. At the next boot you have to press 7 - I think. Now fastboot drivers should install correctly.

Honor 6X BLN-L24

I had the same issue for the longest and tried everything possible under XDA's advice. its for the first time that I was not able to find the soloution to my isuues with the phone. Desperation led me to keep on trying until I accidently found how to do a "Hard Reset" which eventually solved this issue

1) Power your phone off.

2) Press Vol Up (+) Button and while keeping it pressed push the power Button (keeping both pressed).

3) As soon as you see the honor logo (blueish color), move from Vol up (+) to Vol down (-) While Still Pressing On The Power Button.

4) Keep Pressing Vol (-) and Power Button, --> will go through "turning your device on" --> Blank Screen --> Hard Reset Menu.

5) Well everyone knows from this point onwards --> Wipe It Clean, Reboot, Just like New.

Hope this helps.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarama12:
Hello, so recently I tried to fix my bootlooped Moto G 3rd gen(dual-sim, India) and made a mistake that has somewhat fixed my phone but the wifi doesn't work, there might be some undiscovered errors still, the whole story..

-The phone became bootlooped like I said above

-So I decided to flash stock rom for it, and looked up several guides on how to do it.

-Downloaded the correct rom, and connected the phone in recovery mode as I could still hold down power button while phone loops(switch on to logo-pause-black screen repeat...)

-After setting correct path for fastboot, I got the [FAILED ] REMOTE ERROR while flashing partition - the "gpt.bin file"

-So I decided to skip that and went on with rest of the given commands including all 6(number 0 to number 5) sparsechunks

-I received signed error for sparsechunks

-I continued upto reboot

After this the phone booted fine but wouldn't get past selecting wifi network phase of start setup screen

Somehow a repair guy I gave phone to fix got up to that with login details of account, and now the phone is functional but I can't manage to turn on the wifi, if I hit on it automatically slides back to off instantly.

Notes: After fastboot and the start phase issue I tried mfastboot with same rom files and went over all commands many times, with same error

: After the phone became functional I tried flashing process again with mfastboot and usb debugging enabled but received REMOTE ERROR at partition again and stopped there.

That's all so far, any advice or suggestion you could give is highly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

I have same problem. I can't use WiFi or Internet on other custom/Stock ROM. Not problem on nandroid backup.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HelpMeruth:
Make sure you have the correct firmware files downloaded
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarama12:
I was going to post how I fixed it but it slipped from my mind.

The flashing problem(Remote error) seems to be caused by the locked bootloader, which I only discovered after needing to root my phone following a guide to fix the wifi.

The thing is, a lot of people who have this problem seem to miss a file in the 'persist' folder of their root directory, see: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2619553

However for me it didn't fix the issue, mostly since the file isn't available for 3rd gen moto G, but with unlocked bootloader (see: http://theunlockr.com/2015/09/09/how-to-root-the-motorola-moto-g-3rd-gen/) I could flash other parts just fine (except gpt.bin still giving the same error) and it pretty much fixed my issue.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moonboots:
Hi all,

Within the last month I successfully unlocked my 5x, rooted it, installed a custom recovery and have kept it on stock ROM with a custom kernel (ElementalX) and some minor tweaks (AdAway, Viper4Android). So far, so great.

However, when I was locked and unrooted, I used to use ADB and the sideload OTA function to update to the newest builds, usually within 3-5 days after the binaries first drop.

Now, with the desire to remain on an updated stock ROM, keep root, custom recovery, and the minor tweaks noted above, I wanted some confirmation from the great minds here as I navigate Heisenberg's thread and use fastboot on my own for the first time.

What I've done so far: Download and extract the binaries from my current build (MHC19Q) as well as today's new build (MTC19T).

Compared them and see there is a new radio that I'll have to flash.

I want to keep my custom recovery (TWRP) and boot image (ElementalX kernel), so I believe I leave those untouched.

So, my process here is:

1. Boot into bootloader mode. Open a command prompt and confirm via fastboot devices that my device is connected/recognized through USB.

2. Enter "fastboot flash radio {insert radio.img here}"

3. Enter fastboot reboot-bootloader

4. Enter "fastboot erase cache"

5. Enter "fastboot flash cache {insert cache.img here}", repeat step 3

6. Enter "fastboot flash system {insert system.img here}, repeat step 3

7. Enter "fastboot flash vendor {insert vendor.img here}

My 2 questions are - will this process above succeed in updating my security/build and leave my recovery and kernel untouched? And will I keep root and modifications, or have to reflash TWRP, SuperSU, AdAway, Viper4Android, etc.?

Thanks for the patience, all. Once I do this once or twice, I'm sure it'll become old hat!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redsmith:
Yes, that will keep your recovery untouched, however you might want to wait until flar2 and/or other kernel devs confirm there are no changes to the kernel before you upgrade your system. More often than not, there are improvements to the kernel source.

About Adaway, Viper4Android, etc... I'm almost sure you will have to reflash those, as they are part of the system.

I am myself waiting for confirmation about the kernel stuff, but in the meantime will flash bootloader and radio.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moonboots:
Excellent, thank you for the quick reply. I'll put a subscription on the ElementalX Kernel thread and keep an eye out before making any changes.

Also, if I'm reading the updates correctly, the bootloader remains unchanged at version bhz10m. In your experience, are there changes under the hood there that don't appear in the version number, or is there no need to flash the "new" bootloader, as it's identical?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enzippo:
I would like to have a sort of ota to install just the updated files that leaves my system mod untouched. But I think there is no way to keep everything...
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exploreresp:
To be a little bit more specific, you have to flash again whatever you have flashed so far.

Adaway is an app, you don't have to flash it nor reinstall.

Same for xposed, you have to flash over the framework, but your installed modules will remain and work once you have reflashed xposed for instance.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moonboots:
Thank you for the clarification. I've been keeping an eye on the ElementalX thread and it appears everything works with the newest build without a need for an update to the kernel.

With that being said, do I need to flash the new boot.img and recovery.img, then re-flash TWRP and ElementalX, or can I just not push the new binaries for boot and recovery, and just do radio, system, and vendor?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exploreresp:
Don't think it'll hurt to try :)

I already avoided to flash the recovery img last month but it still got patched and had to flash TWRP again so I'm not sure...

Anyway, don't think this May update is worth all the trouble... Only security updates that haven't even been reported by users. Unless you're really worried about smtg, this won't bring you anything.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moonboots:
Confirming here for the group and anyone that hasn't used fastboot before - totally easy and worked like a charm. I know you mentioned there wasn't much to the May update but I still wanted to do it as an academic exercise for myself so I know how to do it in the future.

I flashed the new radio.img, vendor.img and system.img. Bootloader stayed the same. Recovery held at TWRP and the kernel (boot.img) patched over ElementalX on first boot. I flashed SuperSU, ElementalX and the Viper4Android drivers and everything was back up and running, fully updated. The whole thing took about 15 min.

Thanks for the help and encouragement, all.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Bigger display, S Pen (and all its features), not enough of a speed increase or UX improvement to justify the S7. Quite the overall downgrade, IMO.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallazzPilipino:
the weatherproofing and expandable memory is very welcome especially for shooting 4K and editing on-phone especially since the N5 was limited to only 64GB. but then again, I use my iPhones for video & editing cell phone footage. but i at least want weatherproofing. these last two sites (Seattle & Chicago) where it's been raining, my N5 has been wiggin' out. I can't see weatherproofing coming to the N5 due to the s-pen. but who knows. I certainly need the s-pen, myself. one feature used to be for extended screenshots which is now part of marshmallow anyway (or at least on my N5?). no more needing to fumble with the s-pen. I think 5.1" is a good screen size though. not too small; not too large. but yeah, the 4:3 ratio sensor bugs me, too, just like one of my m43 cameras where I have to crop and lose more MP.

was just curious...
