I've been doing fastboot flash twrpname.img after opening cmd terminal with SHIFT-MOUSE2 in the designated folder. I have not tried that command specifically what's the difference between doing fastboot flash/boot as far as flashing a recovery.img

edit: I've read on different articles that people sometimes try and flash from the recovery menu? I understood it has to be while your are on the bootloader screen, could it be something to do with that? Or is it still a possibility the drivers may not be installed properly.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] enetec:
With fastboot boot you send recovery to your phone and ask it to boot on it without really flashing it...

It's useful e.g. to take a full stock backup including original recovery, to test a recovery prior to flash it or to use TWRP to root BUT remain on stock recovery...

Not on all phones it works, but on Moto Z should....

P.S.: you have to be on fastboot screen not on recovery when flashing...
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] spacezork:
by fastboot screen you mean the bootloader menu right?

I've been accessing cmd from designated folder with .img file in it

- adb fastboot recovery

- fastboot flash recovery.img..

and I get the "img not working or corrupt" after it tries to flash it (lasts 0.2 seconds) and nothing is done.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] enetec:
Right, bootloader screen. Enter on it by key-comb... not by command...

Even the real flash take same time... Sending seems to work, is something on verify that doesn't "like" it...

Try to download again recovery and/or check its MD5... :rolleyes:
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] the ljubich:
if reading correctly (and what I told you yesterday) command is

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

and not

fastboot flash recovery.img

i don't know from which ROM you are coming, don't know if downgrading works, but this was onl RETEU ROM i could find.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] cilk:
I have the exact same phone and I've upgraded to Nougat but I got my TWRP working. You need an unlocked bootloader and after upgrading to nougat, the option "unlock OEM" need to be enabled again.

I've used this TWRP : https://dl.twrp.me/griffin/twrp-3.0.2-0-griffin.img.html

Also I tried to only boot on it at first with the command fastboot boot twrp.img then I saw it was working, I flashed it with fastboot flash recovery twrp.img but got the error : (bootloader) image not signed or corrupt . But I booted the recovery from the bootloader and TWRP was working even with this error.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] enetec:
Yeessss... I don't know how could I forgot it!!! :silly:

The message (I forgot I received too...) is *only* to indicate that recovery is not signed! But before there is a clear "Done" confirming the flash!

Just boot on it! ;)
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] spacezork:
Hhhm, this is interesting thinking that it might just be a verify "error". After I flash the recovery with fastboot flash recovery twrp.img should I be rebooting to system or directly to recovery mode? because I checked a couple times to see if it had written and I would reach the recovery menu with a dead android guy logo along with the words "no command" under it. I have to repeatedly pressing VOL UP+POWER buttons to finally enter the STOCK recovery menu.

Could I be "resetting" the recovery flash by not exiting the bootloader menu properly?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] enetec:
Yes, you have to boot to recovery *and* enable /system modifications (mount system in r/w...) in it before booting system, otherwise TWRP will be overwritten by stock recovery during boot... :silly:

When you are going to TWRP you will not see any dead android, only TWRP splash screen...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobgoob:
I'm at my wits end with my VS985 and need a hero.

I thought I was a wizard when I was successful downgrading with the tot method and installing TWRP (thanks to videos by Laser Wolf on Youtube).

I installed Fulmics 6.5 and was happy as a clam for about two months and then my data stopped working. I tried re-flashing to Resurrection Remix after reading many have trouble with Fulmics on VS985. That got me data back for about two days and then it stopped working again.

I tried a xdabbeb_vs985_3.1.1 and I think I may have gotten 3g with it. Not sure my memory is correct though since I have since been flashing and re-flashing all sorts of things I didn't fully understand without result for weeks now and it is all starting to blend together.

Last night I tried Fulmics again and it appeared data was working so I started installing all my apps over wifi. An hour later no data.

I have tried different roms, factory resets, bootstacks 12b 24b and 35b all in different sequences to no avail. In Fulmics tweaks I have fiddled with the different bands in the hidden menu with no positive result. My sim card works perfectly in other phones. I am in the MVNO PagePlus if that is relevant.

I did make a backup in TWRP of the downgraded phone before I started with Fulmics. When I revert to this save I do have 3G coverage.

Does this rule out the possibility that it is a hardware problem?

There has got to be some subtle setting or sequence to all this that I am missing.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fawniiie:
Several days ago I was watching a livestream when my phone froze & suddenly went into bootloop. At this point I've tried all that I know to - I've flashed several different OS versions using the Nexus Root Toolkit, I've manually flashed 6.0.1 & 7.0 (not sure if 7.0 was a good idea to flash tho just because of what's been happening), and at this point I'm not even able to go to the recovery to manually do anything. At one point the phone did work, but it would constantly go back into bootloop for a few minutes before coming back out, but now it is simply stuck in bootloop. I was using Android 6.0.1, stock. The phone was rooted for awhile, but I eventually unrooted and went back to stock. I don't understand what happened, and everything I find on the internet about Nexus 5x bootloop is in relation to the 7.0 update, which I did not bother downloading (luckily lol). Is my phone gone forever? :/
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pachwald:
I got my phone replaced some time ago as it also went into a bootloop mid usage. Flashing anything didn't help. My finding was, that the phone worked as long as it was cold. Leaving it off to cool down and putting it on a cooling pad helped for about 10 minutes. From what I understand, it may be a hardware issue.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icyerasor:
See the other threads on here that showed up within the last 1-2 Weeks regarding bootloop, bricked or QHSUSB. Chances are, it might very well be a hardware problem (bad soldering).

My nexus5x suddenly died 5 days ago (with no prior symptoms). Unlocked, no root, stock 7.0 november update.

I was able to turn it on once for ~3hrs after walking outside for 20 minutes, right after it first froze down/bootlooped.

Then it showed up as "QHSUSB_BULK" (8009?) when connected to a pc, but would not even start fastboot anymore.

I tried putting it in the freezer in a plastic bag for ~10 minutes. Fastboot worked, booting freezed inbetween; twrp would not let me enter security pattern.

So I let it rest for two days. Then decided to give it one more try by putting it on my radiator for 20 minutes (just warm, not hot! - please don't panic and make the situation even worse!)

Got it to boot up regularly and keep it on for ~20 minutes. So was able to do one last backup of msgs, imgs, etc. (while still on the radiator). Booted up successfully two more times, but with every decreasing on-time.

RMAing now through Google.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Cares:
I'm looking for a stock kernel that only patches Safetynet checking. Does this exist? If not, is it easy for me to "make it" myself?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] josephcsible:
I'm not sure if there's a prebuilt one, but building one yourself isn't too hard. The patch is at https://github.com/sultanxda/androi...bc05b16bbd33521c2fffaf491c5657a94bfcfc5.patch. You just follow the steps at http://source.android.com/source/building-kernels.html as usual with the following notes:

Use "kernel/msm" as the source location

Use "marlin_defconfig" as the build configuration

Apply the patch after running the git checkout command

Use the aarch64 prebuilts, not the arm ones
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] cntryby429:
Depending on your motivation for a "stock kernel" you might try franco kernel. He doesn't seem to do anything that MIGHT introduce instability or strays very far from stock.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] jrtomsic:
I can vouch for franco. He does minimal performance-only tweaks by default.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Sakete:
Hey thanks for the tip. I went ahead and patched the no safetynet patch to the android-msm-marlin-3.18-nougat-mr1 kernel source and compiled it. I now have a Image.gz-dtb file which I zipped (I also just have a binary file named "Image"). What should I with those now, just flash those like I would one of the other kernels? And which file exactly? The gz file? or the just binary file named "Image"?

So essentially "fastboot flash kernel <file_name>"?

When I was compiling I got two warnings by the way:

drivers/soc/qcom/Kconfig:371:warning choice value used outside its choice group

drivers/soc/qcom/Kconfig:376:warning choice value used outside its choice group

Anything I should be concerned about? I've never done this before, but did a lot of reading before I went ahead and used to do some C coding back in the day, so it's not completely unknown to me.

Essentially, these are the steps I followed, after quickly installing Linux Mint:

Create a working directory in /home/$USER/ (I created /home/sakete/android)
Enter working directory
Download android kernal source
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm

Download prebuilt toolchain
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/aarch64/aarch64-linux-android-4.9
cd aarch64-linux-android-4.9
export PATH=$(pwd)/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/aarch64/aarch64-linux-android-4.9
export CROSS_COMPILE=$(pwd)/bin/aarch64-linux-android-
export ARCH=arm64
export SUBARCH=arm64

Checkout specific kernel branch for Pixel/PixelXL (be in 'msm' folder)
git checkout android-msm-marlin-3.18-nougat-mr1

Get Safetynet Patch (still be in 'msm' folder)
git fetch https://github.com/sultanxda/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8996 cm-13.0-sultan
git cherry-pick abc05b16bbd33521c2fffaf491c5657a94bfcfc5

Build kernel (still be in 'msm' folder)
make clean
make mrproper
make marlin_defconfig
make -j$(grep -c ^processor /proc/cpuinfo)

I initially got some build errors, but running this command solved it: sudo apt-get install build-essential

Hey if you can build it and post it here, that would be awesome. This is exactly what I'm looking for.

It will let me preemptively unlock my Verizon bootloader before flashing the latest OTA, while keeping Android Pay.

Has Google already posted the source for the 7.1.1 update kernel?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Sakete:
The source I pulled (android-msm-marlin-3.18-nougat-mr1) should be what's in the December update. It should be 7.1.1
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] josephcsible:
The Image.gz-dtb file is the one you want.

I've never done it like that, but that's apparently how Franco's kernel installs, so it's worth a shot I guess. Another way of doing it is to unpack the stock boot image with either pbatard's unmkbootimg or osm0sis's Android Image Kitchen, replace its kernel with your Image.gz-dtb, then repack and flash the new boot.img to the boot partitions.

Nothing you need to worry about.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Sakete:
Great, thanks, I'll try flashing the kernel tomorrow night and will post it if successful.

Interestingly it seems that Pixel (sailfish) and Pixel XL (marlin) use the same kernel / kernel source? There at least doesn't seem to be a sailfish specific source. Will be interesting to see how it pans out tomorrow.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] josephcsible:
Indeed. The same kernel binary can run on both devices. (The ElementalX and Franco kernels don't even have separate builds for the two.)
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] iPwn_:
Would you mind posting the image you built?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Sakete:
I'm at work now, will post it tonight.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Sakete:
Stock Kernel + SafetyNet Patch applied

Well holy crap, it actually worked! Just flashed the kernel, set up android pay no problem! And everything else works just fine too.

Attached is a zip.

Steps to install (make sure you have adb and fastboot set up):

- Download file and unzip

- Reboot into bootloader (power down, hold Power + Volume Down)

- Attach device to computer

- Enter command: fastboot flash kernel <kernel_image>

- Enter command: fastboot reboot

- Disconnect device and wait for it to finish booting. That's it!

You're my hero.

Might be a lot to ask, but it would be dope if you maintained where you update the build every month for Google's latest release.

Edit: thread is up.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] flar2:
A bit late, but just for the record, ElementalX is just like stock with added features. If you don't use those features, you are essentially using the stock kernel.

I tried many versions of HTC Home. I dont get one which has both the fix for weather and brightness. Also, I am assuming cab's installed in main memory run/react faster than the ones installed in SD cards. If I install HTC Home in main memory and HTC Customizer in SD and changed couple of icons, will that spoil the performance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smittyofdhs:
I've got schap's latest HTC home and both work fine. You will have to search for it. I think the verision on it is 2.1

no it won't spoil performance to run HHC from SD. Always install plugins to main memory and apps that you only run every once in a while to SD.

Yes, apps installed on main memory run a bit faster then if it's installed on SD.

[Huawei Watch] Ubelsteiner:
The other day I was sitting on the couch watching TV when I felt a vibration on my wrist. I looked at my watch and it was flipping out on it's own. At the time, I had Wear 2.0 DP installed (in which, you just swipe left/right to change watch faces) and my watch was switching between watch faces on its own, acting as if someone was holding their finger on the screen and rapidly moving it back and forth.

Using the hardware button, I pulled up the apps list and attempted to scroll down to Settings (so that I could try simply restarting the watch). It was like the watch was fighting against me, and each time I would scroll down on the list it would scroll back up on its own a little bit. After a brief struggle I was able to get it to restart, but the touch issues persisted. I opened the app on my phone and unpaired with the watch so that it would reset itself. I got through the Wear 2.0 first time setup screen, tho with enough touch input weirdness that I suspected the issue was still present... and I was right.

I managed to navigate to the Settings and got developer options re-enabled and then proceeded to flash the stock factory image. Hopeful that this was somehow just DP weirdness, I started the first time setup on the watch and could not proceed past the Language Selection screen. No matter how much I tapped, I could not select any of the languages. I noticed that the bottom 1/4 of the screen seemed to be the only part that seemed to be responding to touch input.

I pushed and held the button and got into the Settings and used gestures to get into developer options, re-enabled ADB (so that I could relock bootloader, since at this point it seemed likely that I'd need to send it in and didnt want that to be an issue) and also turned on the options to show touches and show cursor. I backed out to the language selection screen and confirmed what I had been noticing, only the very bottom of the screen was responding to touch input.

At this point, I am just looking for any additional ideas for things to try before giving up and sending it in for repairs. My watch has never been immersed in water or damaged in any way, I've always babied it. I do use Cape Cod's polishing wipes (which are lightly moistened with a polishing solution) periodically to remove minor, unavoidable scuffs and scratches from the body of the watch. I'm careful to avoid getting anything on the screen and always wipe things dry immediately after finishing, but I'm wondering if somehow a small amount of it got in around the screen somehow?

I'm a repair technician and am regularly taking apart and repairing phones, tablets and laptops, but I've never worked on a watch before. Since my watch is still under warranty (purchased in march 2016), I know the smart options is probably just to send it to Huawei, but I've heard numerous negative things about how slow their turnaround is and how they've tried to get out of providing warranty repairs for other customers. I've become quite dependent on my watch in my daily life, and hate the thought of being without it for weeks on end!

Thanks in advance to those who take the time to read this and give input!
