the lock symbol means your phones bootloader has been unlocked allowing for custom development. i assume you have bought the device second hand as you obviously didnt unlock it yourself.
to make your phone boot i suggest cleaning your devices cache.
-power off device
-hold power up+down while pressing power button
-use the volume buttons to scroll down to recovery and press power to select
-after google logo disappears a little android with a blue thingy will come up, at this point hold the power button then press volume up and another selection screen will come up.
-select clean cache and then press power to select. when this is done reboot your device.
im not 100% sure this is your problem but its worth a try.
I was stuck at the same screen this morning. I tried booting into CWM Recovery from Jelly Bean and my phone wasn't having any part of it. I kept waiting and eventually pulled the battery. Luckily, I was able to boot into the ROM on my second battery pull. I doubt this helps though, just my two cents.

the newest released stock images are here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
down towards the bottom should be imm76k for the mysid
its a zip, but inside, there is a bootloader, 2 radios, and a system image, maybe some other tidbits
so just unzip it to the same directory as your fastboot.exe
assuming you're unlocked.
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-toro-primela03.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-toro-i515.fc05.img

fastboot flash radio-cdma radio-cdma-toro-i515.fa04.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-mysid-imm76k.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
after that i always boot into recovery and do another factory reset, but thats me.
enjoy!

I can't view your screen shot. It's too small.
Your reboot command didn't work because you are missing the dash. It is "fastboot reboot-bootloader" not "fastboot reboot bootloader".
Not sure why the radio is not flashing for you. Try skipping it and move to the next image.

I have this same but problem but I tried what Efrant suggested doing from the bootloader and it appeared to work, my phone booted up and was back to stock. I continued to test restating it and it would go through the google splash screen only about 5-10 times to boot, so i thought that it was fine and continued to use my phone throuhgout the day.
Well I restarted it again later and it went right back into the bootloop. I flashed to stock again following Efrants directions and it worked for a little but soon went back into the bootloop.
What else can I do? I dont want to have to get a new one through Asurion because you never know what kind of ****furb you'll get and its 50$..
Don't mean to hijack but I can't find answers anywhere else!

That is very strange. If you successfully flashed ALL the stock images as per that guide, and the device boots properly, but you are still getting bootloops, it is either an app that you have installed that is causing it, or a hardware issue.

Doesn't this mean he is locked, not unlocked.the lock symbol has to be one of an open lock.this could be why flashing falls.

Yes I'm pretty sure all the images flashed succesfully but when i did the last one it said something about something not being available, not home right now or else I'd check. I really hope this isnt a hardware problem but I don't see how it could be. When it started doing this I was downloading a bunch of files on my phone at work and it randomlly restarted and went into the bootloop. Is there anything I could try before getting a replacement?
how many time take for flashing?
i need tested working fastboot.exe for window.
Here's a video tutorial guide for noobs who want to unroot/unbrick your Nexus 10.

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-XXX.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-XXX-XXX.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-XXX-XXX.zip
For Mac OSX, type: (XXX may depend on the stock firmware)

*Note – If you do not have radio image, you can skip that one.
*Note for Mac/Linux – If you get permissions error, try “chmod 755 *” before doing all the commands and also try adding “sudo” in front of the commands if you still have trouble.

doesnt that bring me to the bootloader?
edit: now i cant mount sd card in recovery after doing this....i think this is why its not booting....any help?
Don't we need do the following code before unroot?
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
if you really bricked yours as badly as I did, you might have to re format one or more partitions.
Fastboot format partitionname
Then fastboot flash partitionname imagefilename.

Don't think so, it overwrites everything so i don't think it matters.
I've fully flashed the factory image and it just sits there seemingly looping.
I've flashed the stock recovery, from Stockroms . net, the bootloader and image from the Google Developers page and it still just sits there.
Anyone have any ideas?
I've also tried erasing all partitions and then flashing again. Right now i`m willing to try anything

The batch file I mentioned above for the N7 did this, and a guide somewhere else written before said that this was necessary due to some bug in the past (I guess something wasn't being overwritten properly).
Hmm, I did just the 'fastboot -w update image-mantaray-jop40c.zip' since I didn't want to mess with the bootloader, just reflash the stock rom.
Got the red triangle with !, rebooted and still got it, but after a few minutes it rebooted by itself and worked. Hopefully it was just doing some kind of first boot thing or wiping stuff.
EDIT: Also seems to have flashed over my recovery, but no biggie.
Where did I go wrong?

Reboots after erasing cache and then will hang on Nexus X screen forever. Any extra steps or commands to assist?

So I somehow bricked my N10 (all I did was flash CWM recovery, and then I couldn't mount /sdcard and it bootloops) so I tried this.

So I was kind of stuck at same spot you were I believe, where after the cache the device autorebooted and then hung on the splash screen.
I booted into the (now) stock recovery and formatted and wiped cache and it booted up fine. Hope you have the same luck.
I did exaclty what the OP said and I am at the boot up boot image of the X that is multi color and it just loops there.
I'm still stuck in bootloop. Entering recovery from fastboot brings up the laying android icon with the red triangle/exclamation mark.
What steps do I take next?

Press power and volume up and let go, you'll get various recovery options. Select wipe data and confirm. It'll wipe, then reboot.

Looks like today I'm more stupid than usually. I tried pressing power and volume up both in fastboot and in recovery mode, neither gave me recovery options. I know I am close but I can't nail it...
Hi, my kf2 is stucked at fastboot, i'm not able to boot into recovery or system, i have succesfully installed fff-1.4a using a factory cable (because it was bricked with the stock bootloader) and have installed the otter2-twrp-2.4.4.0-recovery.img from hashcode..
It boots and i see the blue kindle logo, and have a menu, but when i select recevery it just turns on the amber light and stays there, i have left it for about 5 minutes waiting to see if it get to revery with no luck.

It seem like a partition table problem maybe because i'm trying to install Cyanogenmod and not a stock image...
I think maybe i must reformat the partitions but i only have access to fastboot and i have read the documentation of Android Fastboot in OmapPedia but i'm not sure it's a "generic" information and don't want to mess up things more.
I have read many trheads in the forum but all of them use adb and there's not a thread with instructions about it..
Or maybe i need to flash all the images (system, kernel, etc..) with fastboot but i don't know where to get it, the main problem is that i'm not able to boot into recovery and maybe that point to the real problem
Any help is appreciated !!
Thank's
You can't write CyanogenMod from fast boot.
Sounds like somewhere in there you formatted the system partition. You need the stack file on the system partition in order to boot into recovery.
Restore to stock using fast boot and try again.

Maybe it is the problem as fastboot oem format seems to do the job...
I have downloaded the stock update-kindle-6.3.2_D01E_4110520.bin, please can you point to the thread explainig how to do that using fastboot or it's just as easy as rename the file to update.zip and flash it directly?
Edited: also i'm not completely sure it's a kf2 and can't get a hint on how to discover it without knowing the is version :banghead: I've looked one the motherboard and is a MB0090 F3F.
I've downloaded the stock bin for the kf2 too...
Thank' for your quick reply
Well. If you have a kf2... The update you downloaded is wrong. IT'S FOR THE ORIGINAL KINDLE FIRE.
Without knowing what device u have u better slow down a sec. Any advice i give COULD permabrick u of you're on the wrong device.
What color was the BOX it came in? What is the model# on the back? (Same for kf1 AND 2 BUT NOT THE KF HD 7" OR 8").
Be advised- this device is EASY TO BRICK. BE CAREFUL.

Also. The correct update file wont work either.
You can only flash image files from fastboot.

It's apparent you have a KF1 and not a KF2. The command "fastboot -i 0x18d1..." would not work on the KF2 because it still has the stock bootloader (unless something miraculous happened while I was AFK). The stock bootloader has a VID of 1949, and will not answer to commands using a different VID. 18d1 is Goggle's VID and is indicative of having FFF installed (KF1 only).
BTW, the "-i 0x18d1" part is completely unnecessary on FFF.
That's not your biggest problem though....
Code:
sudo fastboot -i 0x18d1 flash boot fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin
That command is completely wrong. What you're doing there is flashing the bootloader (fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin) to the boot (kernel) partition. Obviously, there is no way that could possibly would work out for you. After the "fastboot" portion of the command, you need to specify what you want done with the image in question: flash or boot. "Flash" is persistent, "boot" is for one boot only. In the next part of the command, you need to specify which partition the image in question goes to; bootloader, recovery, boot, etc.
What you need to do is get an actual recovery.img and flash it to your recovery partition before you can even think of accessing said recovery to flash a ROM and get your device working again.

Well you are completely right!! Didn't realize I was flashing it to the kernel partition, I bought this on eBay and it was already bricked, when I used the factory cable first time I got a lab26 device, and it was a 1949 so, if I'm right it's a kf2.
I've already flashed a twrp recovery but it won't boot.. I'll try sintering else and post the results here

No. The stock bootloader on all generations and variants of Kindle Fires have vendor IDs of 1949. The fact that your device responds to the "fastboot -i 0x18d1..." clearly means you have a custom bootloader installed in its place. If you have an actual custom bootloader installed (not 2nd bootloader) then you clearly cannot possibly have a KF2.
In this thread, you say you have installed recovery twice, but the information given seems to suggest otherwise.
So to try and get to the root of the problem, what is the exact command you used to install custom recovery, and what custom recovery (version) did you install?
Glad you are here soupmagnet!
I didn't even look at the commands he was using but i definitely learned stuff from your posts. Thanks again

So you think it is a kf1 based on the device id?, it shows that id after i installed the fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin from hashcode that i intended for the kf2...
Well, based on that i have installed a kf1 bootloader:
Downloaded the Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192818
Unzipped it (as i'm GNU/Linux)
"Grepped" recursively till find the web address to download files from
Downloaded fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin
Downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-blaze.img
Followed the install procedure
Same result !!, still can't get it to boot into recovery...
Really i hope someone here can point me to the right direction to fix this tablet, can't figure out what's wrong with kf(?)

Lets get a few things clear right off the bat. The file named fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin is the custom bootloader for the KF1. The bootloader flashed in the KF2 2nd bootloader installation is named otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin. If you flash the fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin (FFF1.4a) onto a KF2, you would end up with something that is slightly less useful than a doorstop.
Why you re-installed it is a mystery to me. You already had FFF1.4a installed. I know this (as I explained earlier) by the fact that your commands, using the "-i 0x18d1" switch, were successful. If you had a stock bootloader, no commands containing that particular vendor ID would work at all. If you had a KF2, there is absolutely NO WAY you would have a device that responds to fastboot commands using "-i 0x18d1". Even with a modified KF2, with 2nd bootloader installed, the vendor ID would still be 1949 and all fastboot commands must include "-i 0x1949" or they will not work. You can confirm the fact that you have FireFireFire installed by entering a fastboot command without adding "i- 0x18d1". With FireFireFire (KF1 only), the commands will still work because it is unnecessary to specify the vendor ID.
That being said, I'm not entirely sure what's going on with TWRP using both "otter" and "blaze" for the board name (I think it has something to do with Goo Manager?), but anything you get from the TWRP website should work for the KF1 (for the time being at least). Anything you get from Hashcode will be for the 2nd generation KFs.
I would suggest, to avoid complicating things any further, that you download Cannibal Open Touch recovery, confirm that the MD5sums match after downloading, and flash it to recovery in fastboot. COTR only works for the KF1 (not made for the 2nd Generation devices yet) so there is "practically" no way you can get the wrong one. If that works and you still want to try TWRP, download the one for Blaze, check the MD5 (as you should with everything), and try flashing it in recovery again.
If you still can't get your device to boot into recovery, try the command again, but replace the word "flash" with the word "boot" and leave out the partition (i.e. 'fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-blaze.img'). If the device boots into recovery, then you know you have the right one and you may have bad blocks in your recovery partition preventing it from booting, but you won't know for sure without checking a few things out first.
Followed your instructions and get the same result...
Maybe i should install a complete system from fastboot and let it try to boot, but where can i get those files?

I posted that ages ago. I'm not even sure what device it's for.
Check the file size. If it's around 350MB go ahead. If it's closer to 500MB then it's probably for the HD.
I can't imagine why you couldn't load recovery using the 'fastboot boot recovery.img' command. Did you receive any errors when trying?

I'm seriously thinking it may be a hardware failure but i wont give up until i'm completely sure about it.. that's why i though i should reformat partitions at the first time but the fastboot oem format command "seems" to work, perhaps it takes very short time to execute 0.068s and it is a very short time, so i though maybe it isn't really formatting anything, is it a "normal time"?
Right now i'm downloading the file it's 380MB maybe something good could happen!!

The command 'fastboot oem format' will only make sure the partition layout is stock, it does not format the partitions themselves. The information within the limits of the partitions will remain untouched, so it won't do you much good in this situation. The only way to properly format any partition is with recovery (or 'parted' which is usually run from recovery anyway). Your situation is rather unique because the "fastboot boot' command doesn't write anything to the recovery partition. It loads the disk image you choose, into active memory, as if your computer were a separate partition on which that image is stored. There shouldn't be any reason for it to not work properly.
Try to flash the system partition you downloaded and see how it goes. I would also suggest that you make absolutely sure the md5sums match before installing any image to your device, including the recovery images you downloaded before.

At the begining i saw you were using "fastboot flash zip...." that's wrong command.. should be "fastboot flash update xxxx.zip"
so if you find the totally package, youcan use it.
also you has mixture the boot.img and bootloader.bin..
recovery is not needed if you can flash the right bootloader and boot.:laugh:
NOTE: Bootloader should be unlocked for this method to work. Root not required.
1) Download the factory image relevant to your Galaxy Nexus from the below page.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#takju
2) Unzip the .tgz file and keep it under, say C:/
3) Edit the "flash-all.bat" and remove the "-w" parameter from "fastboot -w update image-takju-jwr66v.zip"
4) Delete "userdata.img" from "image-takju-jwr66v.zip".
5) Copy fastboot.exe file into the “takju-jwr66v” directory.
6) Reboot and keep the phone in fastboot mode. [ a) Turn on USB Debugging b) Turn off your Phone c) Hold down Volume UP + Volume Down + Power buttons ]
7) Issue the command "flash-all.bat".
8) Wait for the process to finish, and then the Galaxy Nexus will reboot upgraded with stock Android 4.3
9) Cheers and enjoy !!!

So it's not just my bootloader that got slower. Yours also made you <waiting for device> each time the process rebooted the bootloader. It never happened before.

yessssssssssss worked for me
Caused a bootloop for me and when I tried to reboot in recovery I got red triangle and Android. Didn't give any error messages.
Am just going to do full wipe now and retry.
Worked like a charm
Did what the post said and got 4.3 without losing any data.
Thanks!
Color me suspicious, but I bet there's a good reason that the -w is there...
flash successful without losing data.. but camera lag still exist on my gnex, and vitamio got multiple crash after rebooting. Anybody got the same experience?
I did get a bootloop by this method until I flashed by loosing data

your gnex must be unlock to do this flashing process, maybe that's why you get the bootloop

My GNex hasn't even been carrier locked(they don't do that in Belgium) and my bootloader has been unlocked since I got this phone.

Mine is still lagging when screen rotates, but if you deactivate screen rotation it works just fine.
I updated my UNLOCKED takju like this, and it seems to work ok:
- Download and unpack takju-jwr66v-factory-c2ef855e.tgz to some folder (gives you a subfolder called takju-jwr66v)
- Unpack file image-takju-jwr66v.zip (found in folder above, gives you files boot.img, recovery.img, system.img ..)
- Connect phone, make sure to activate debugging first
- Check with command adb devices , this should show you an id for your phone
Something like this:
List of devices attached
0149C25E0A011009 device
Go to folder takju-jwr66v and issue commands below
- fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primemd04.img
- fastboot reboot-bootloader
- fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxlj1.img
- fastboot reboot-bootloader
Go to folder image-takju-jwr66v
- fastboot flash boot boot.img
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- fastboot flash system system.img
- fastboot reboot
DO NOT flash userdata.img !!

So I'm not the only one with the lagging camera bug, well camera work fine too with screen rotation disabled on 4.2.2.
Camera bug supposed to be fix in 4.3... maybe must do clean flash will do the trick...
But I'm too lazy to do backup and restore all apps and data on my phone right now, and already used to using another camera apps lately so the bug doesn't bother me that much to do clean flash all over again.

Everything is working fine for me. No bugs.
This isn't working for me.
I typed in adb reboot bootloader to get into fast boot.
Then I ran the flash-all.bat file and it said "AdbWinApi.dll" not found. After adding this .dll to the folder a command shell opens with "waiting for device". Already turned on USB debugging and connected it to PC.
One issue though is that even though USB debugging is on, I can still connect to the phone as a media device and see all my files. I think you're not supposed to be able to access the phone's file while USB debugging is on.
So basically all the bat file does is has it stuck on "waiting for device." Although in fastboot if I type in "fastboot devices" it shows something like "X57U31581759 fastboot".
------------- Update ------------
So after watching a few youtube videos I found the problem: bad original instructions.
First the phone is to be on ANDROID, connected to the computer with USB debugging on. You can check to see if the device is connected using: adb devices
Then click the .bat file and it'll say "waiting for devices". Then I use another command shell and typed in : adb reboot bootloader to get into fastboot. This makes the .bat file work successfully.
If you start the procedure already rebooted into fastboot like steps 6 & 7 suggests, you'll be stuck on "waiting for devices" all day. Basically step 7 should be done before step 6.
Something wrong then, because I use flash-all.sh directly from fastboot, never had such an issue.

Phew! some development on the Crackling!
:good:
Very impressed... TWRP method didn't wrk, fastboot worked fine! thankyou for bringing it here too, my Russian is non existent
My 1st impressions:
Very good, I haven't encountered any major issues..... I'll keep testing
Well, I just installed on my trusty Wileyfox Swift.
Overall I'm impressed, however the sensors are not working- gyro/ accelerometer/ proximity. There is some conflict with libraries when starting a game.
With a few more updates (fingers crossed) I can see myself using it as a daily driver
Everything else works and works really well. The phone seems a lot faster, the SDcard was formatted (haven't tested using an app from it but games are out of the question anyway), dual-window will be neat and is fine at the moment.
There is a lot to like here with few issues.
PS: After reading a bit from the older threads on XDA and from 4pda.ru , it seems the sensor issue is connected to the bridge to enable Android One roms with FindYanot's oem image on our crackling. Really impressive thus far. I wonder if we can flash General Mobile 4G firmware with QFIL?
I've tried this firmware on my phone and I'd like to share both experience and expressions.
Main laptop is MacBook Air, so it was quite hard to find working fastboot, adb ot GUI utilities.
Finally, I've installed them with command:
Code:
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/corbindavenport/nexus-tools/master/install.sh)
Then I tried to unlock the bootloader and flash images:

After flashing this three images I got a brick. Phone showed Wileyfox logo once and turned off. After ejecting/inserting battery, it responsed (once) to Power button, but showed only logo and turned off again.
Eject/insert battery again and pressing Power + VolDown took me to some menu. From it I've reached fastboot menu.
With windows-laptop and WileyFox Tool utility I pressed Check bootloader status button. Phone restarted and I got Android N boot animation. Then restarted again and finally I'm in Android N First Setup Utility.
Working:
— screen, touchscreen, brightness ajustment (manual)
— mic, speaker
— charging
— GPS
— 4G
— Wi-Fi
— camera (video does not work)
— night mode
— multi-window mode
Not working:
— sensors
— some apps show library mismatch
Also, Power + VolDown button now does not take me to recovery menu. It shows android with red exclamation point. I think it's not right.

I've had the opposite experience. Fastboot works without fail on Mac and Linux. Windows- not so much with the Swift.
Flash TWRP manually - fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img (replace with the file name for TWRP)
You've just installed the patched oem.img (to allow code name "seed" images) along with boot and system. Can't boot to recovery if you don't have one
Steer away from flashing other files from the Android One stock image (it will be even messier hardbrick and you would have to follow the instructions from the other thread).
If you want to return to stock COS, follow the instructions from these awesome people : http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/118287-manual-flashing-of-stock-cyanogenos/
PS: For some reason, unlocking the bootloader for me worked with: fastboot oem unlock-go
but not with:
fastboot -i 0x2970 oem unlock-go
Locking with: fastboot oem lock-go , worked as expected
Can I use this TWRP? I did not found Wileyfox Swift among supported devices.

I believe this is the one I've used.
In case the Windows tool for Wileyfox works for you (I'm missing some C# utilities on mine and can't deal with it atm), you can add TWRP from there as well.
PS: I used it only to install initially this preview. I haven't used it after.
Sucessfully installed TWRP3.0 (CM13-nightly-recovery did not work for me. Keep getting image of Android with red exclamation mark), wiped cache, data and installed CM13-nightly + GAPPS Mini. Booted into CM, did basic setup. After that I wanted to re-lock the bootloader.
With
Code:
fastboot oem lock-go
it worked, but after this command I got brick-phone again.
Only replacing the battery + re-unlocking the device helped to restore it.
Is there a way to keep device working with locked bootloader?
Lock the bootloader only if you'll be using stock signed images of CyanogenOS. That is in case you will have to return the device due to hardware fault- dead pixels, non functioning microphones/ speakers, etc. Another reason as of why you might want to relock, is to ensure that you'll be using CyanogenOS recovery and no problems with future OTAs (no guarantee there as encrypted devices had problems with first official update but things are looking nice for future official OTAs).
If you want to use custom recovery- TWRP/CMRecovery by itself or along with CyanogenMod13 or any other custom ROM- do not lock the bootloader.
These are your options Keep the bootloader unlocked unless you have the need/ desire to return it to true stock.
I tried to install it again and it doesn't work. I flashed stock and unlocked my bootloader. I managed to flash OEM and BOOT but it doesn't want to flash the system partition at all. I tried everything. I tried 4pda method too. Am I missing something?
