I know this may have been answered several times. I did a search too, but to be honest couldn't find something to the point.
Can someone post an easy guide of the files to download and the commands to type in the Command Prompt to install 4.3?
I'm currently on 4.2.2 (LiquidSmooth). Rooted obviously with TWRP recovery. I have the ADB and fastboot drivers installed in my PC.
This is what I want to know.
1. Flashing pure stock 4.3 and wipe everything (including SDcard - I will take a backup)
2. Updating the bootloader
3. Updating the radio
4. Updating the stock recovery
5. Installing TWRP recovery for 4.3
Will be glad if someone could help me.
Thank you.
you didnt search very well...
there's a return to stock thread in the general section.
Just use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475

Hi, let me try to help you
Galaxy Nexus is my first smartphone. So i'm pretty new at flashing things. I did some research last year to learn how to flash stuff in it and that's how i learned to make a fresh install:
-Make sure you have the SDK platform-tools and the Galaxy Nexus driver properly installed on your PC. Also, make sure you have USB debuging enabled on your device.
-Download the factory image that fits your phone at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
-Open up the tgz file you just downloaded and extract the files:
-boot.img
-bootloader-maguro-primemd04.img
-radio-maguro-i9250xxlj1.img
-recovery.img
-system.img
-userdata.img
Extract the files in the platform-tools folder to make things easier.
-Connect your Nexus to your PC, open the command prompt, go to the platform-tools folder and type
(Do not turn off, disconnect or close the cmd prompt windows until everything is done. Again, make sure you have the nexus driver properly installed on your Windows)
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
(this command will reboot your device to recovery mode)
With your device on recovery mode, type the following commands to erase your device:
Code:
fastboot erase boot
Hit enter, then:
fastboot erase cache
Hit enter, then:
fastboot erase recovery
Hit enter, then:
fastboot erase system
Hit enter, then:
fastboot erase userdata
-Now you're going to flash the new files you have downloaded and extracted steps before:
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primemd04.img
(or whatever name your bootloader img file has. In this case the bootloader file is "bootloader-maguro-primemd04.img")
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
(you'll need to reboot after flashing the bootloader)
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxlj1.img
Flash the radio
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Reboot again
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
Flash system
Code:
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
We are almost done!
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot
Done! Reboot to Android. The first boot may take some more time than the usual. Don't worry!
-
If you want to flash a custom recovery, download it from their website, go into fastboot mode and flash it using the command to flash the recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [recovery filename].img
The same command used when flashing the recovery on the fresh install above
That's the way i learned how to do it from scratch. In case someone more experienced has any thoughts about it, i'd like to hear as i'm not an expert and learned by researching it on my own...
This is how it's done, PROPER. Well done, mnoguti.
a maguro wrote this.
@mnoguti: You have said that to flash a custom recovery, one needs to go to the recovery mode and flash the custom recovery, but you said that flashing the stock recovery should be done in bootloader.
Is it fine to flash custom recovery from bootloader instead of recovery?

you don't have to go into the recovery mode to flash recovery, just boot into fastboot mode and flash recovery using command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
obviously replace the recovery.img with the name of the custom recovery file you downloaded, make sure the custom recovery file is in the same folder as fastboot/adb otherwise you'll have to do it like:
fastboot flash recovery C:\Downloads\recovery.img

Yes, that's what I thought. Thank you.
I had initially felt that stock recovery can flashed only in bootloader and custom recoveries can be flashed only by booting into stock recovery. But somewhere in my mind had a doubt on it and so asked. Thanks for clearing the doubt.
And a big thanks to @mnoguti for posting those steps. Worked like a charm for me.
Obviously he meant fastboot mode..

It's "fastboot mode". Sorry for the mistake!
I've updated my post and now it's right
This is for the people [myself earlier] who cannot boot into Android (bootloop or worse), have no download mode, no recovery and can only boot into Fastboot. Download the file below, I have included fastboot (for windows) and the appropriate files to flash, all you have to do is run the commands in order below, then boot into download mode.
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase aboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash boot 6-boot.img
fastboot flash aboot 4-boot.img
fastboot flash recovery 10-recovery.img
fastboot flash laf 11-laf.img
fastboot reboot
It is best to use the CMD.exe file in the folder provided so you will already be running the commands from that folder without having to change directories. If you're on Linux then make sure you have Fastboot installed then run Terminal from the folder and run the same commands. This will restore the STOCK download mode and recovery partitions not TWRP or CWM.

How would one go about repairing a broken download mode when all I can do is boot into a broken recovery? I cannot issue any fastboot commands as the device is only recognized as an ADB Bridge device. Are there ADB equivalent commands to accomplish the same things as you have detailed here?

well you should never install any OTA with a custom recovery install. you should always keep at least one backup on your phone to restore to in these events. but i would try downloading a rom and installing via sideload before nuking any partitions. which is easy with TWRP. the sideload menu should be in Advanced then ADB Sideload and the command is adb sideload filename.zip and it will take awhile depending on the file size. make sure the file name is simple and it is placed in the folder you are running the sideload from.

Yes yes I know... it was a moment of weakness late at night and I didn't think before telling the girl to go ahead and upgrade. That being said... Part of the problem now is that the one backup she made just up and disappeared. The ADB sideload option just hangs and never actually does anything. The original Stock Rooted file I had still on the sd partition doesn't fix the issue when I flash it... it looks like it flashes ok but on the next boot it just drops me back into TWRP right where I began. And download mode is still borked.
So let's talk thermonuclear resolution on this motherlover.... where do I begin?

How do I get to fastboot. I can get to recovery but that's it. Download is not working. The Vol+/- and Power just gets me to key controls.

i would try to rename your rom to something simple, like rom.zip. there cannot be any spaces in the name and it does need to be in the same folder you run the command from like you seem to be doing.

did you try vol+ and power together? When a functioning rom is installed it asks to do a factory reset but it may get into fastboot if you nuked that partition. i haven't tried this yet but if you're in adb sideload in twrp maybe the command
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
might help

Tried all of the above.... they all just send me into recovery or broken download mode

I'm screwed. I gave this a try and now all I get is a black screen. The phone will connect to my computer but I can't send any commands to it through the command prompt. When it connects to the computer it opens a bunch of different drives and says I need to format them. I can't get into download mode and when I try to send a command in the prompt it just says waiting for device. Any ideas?
Edit: It shows up in device manager like this: http://i.imgur.com/NXGxpcX.png

I'm not sure if you can help me here. I have a Verizon G2 and am trying to reset to factory for a repair. I am trying to get into download mode, but only get fastboot when pressing volume up while powered off and plugging in my USB cord. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok so from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/how-to-upgrade-cn-version-to-ww-t3101556
I saw this : fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img - droidboot.img is fastboot, and if you somehow will flash corrupted image, you won't be able to boot to fastboot anymore. Thanks to sorg
Is there ANY way to fix that ? Mine is broken and I CAN NOT : root/update recovery/enter bootloader
Basically i am STUCK on the firmware I have and CAN NOT do anything on this phone other than factory reset it but thats just about it.
Search for flash_image. I used it to flash recovery from running system. I suppose it can be used to flash fastboot too.

The phone HAS RECOVERY does NOT HAVE BOOTLOADER
Read entire message. I wrote that this tool probably can be used to flash fastboot too.
You can also try "dd" command from busybox. Check sticky section in Zenfone General forum how to use it.

You shouldn't mess with stuff you don't understand
If you have recovery, can you get to recovery menu?
Droid on back with error underneath and where you have to hold power then up volume to get to recovery menu.
Ok, here is link to flash_image tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902493
I used it to flash recovery on HTC Sensation, but it should work with fastboot on Zenfone too. The command should be "flash_image fastboot /path/to/droidboot.img"
I'm not sure if it will work, but you already have messed up fastboot so this shouldn't make it worse
The second option is "dd if=/path/to/droidboot.img of=/dev/block/by-name/fastboot" or "dd if=/path/to/droidboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3" as fastboot is the third partition. You can execute this even in terminal emulator on phone. Of course I haven't check it, but it's listed in general section to flash recovery (fastboot is just another partition, so it should work too).
About going to recovery maybe you can type " reboot recovery" in terminal emulator or from pc "adb reboot recovery". I'm not sure if it uses fastboot to boot into recovery but it's worth trying.

RESULT: FAILD (remote: flash_cmds error!)
Thats what my bootloader looks like. What happened was I tried to update from Stock .184 to the new MM build. I downloaded the file and got prompted the update in my phone. It installed or did something and when it rebooted I was stuck in a bootloop with no screen.
I ended up using xFSTK Downloader everything went fine, my phone turned on with 4 colored bars and brought me in to the bootloader. I proceed to use Asus Flash Tool to flash the raw file of .194 and that's where my problem started.
It was taking soo long so I took my dog out for a good 15-20 min walk came back and the flash tool was still doing its thing and the green bar was still moving and on my phone it said RESULT OKAY.
I ended up closing the Flash Tool because it was taking soo long. I rebooted my phone then it goes in a bootloop with the 4 colored bars on the screen. Then I just keep repeating these steps and can't get anywhere.
When I am able to get in the bootloader after using xFSTK Downloader I cant use some flashboot commands. I cant flash twrp because I get FAILD (remote: flash_cmds error!) .
I was going by this guide here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256
EDIT: I just noticed that my phone doesnt come up as MOOREFIELD in device manager. when it turns on and goes in to the bootloader it shows for a second and goes away.
I'm very thankful for anyone that responds. Thx for reading.
I just had this problem after a bad flash~
The instructions of unbricking the phone was lacking some infos.
So I tried a lot of experiments just to unbrick this piece of crap XD
If you are successful on xFSTK procedure you'll end up on "fastboot" mode.
Then you'll proceed with the flashing tool. According to your description everything is just normal my mate~
Now this is the REAL DEAL.
You may notice an ENDLESS "Flash Image" on your flash tool.
Now look on your phone in the Fastboot mode. If you see that the "RESULT: OKAY" seems got stuck, its ok my friend its normal (it will take about 10-30mins depending on your PC).
• Unplug your phone, re-plug it in
• Close AFT
• End process "a500cgfastboot.exe" in the task manager"
Then do the FASTBOOT commands:
• fastboot flash splashimage splashimage.img
• fastboot fastboot flash droidboot.img
• fastboot flash boot boot.img
• fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
AND! you can now proceed on your recovery menu.
You may ADB Sideload the stock firmware by doing
• adb sideload UL-Z00A-WW-X.XX.XX.XX-user.zip (replace the "X" of what file version you want to flash)
And wait for it to reboot. I really hope this helps you mate~
#cheers!
Reflash in xfstk, press dload ...power plus vol + together till phone recycles and flash begins , check my signature below for tutorial, read whole thread and watch video.
You may need to flash an earlier raw too from which the ifwi and fwr dnx and pos bin are made.
Just so you know why it happened. You HAVE to be at version 194 before you update to MM! Otherwise... Boom

This is not so, I sideloaded MM fine straight on .184

well lot of people facing problem. as you told that you are able to get into fastboot after xFSTK process. and you are unable to flash raw firmware file!!!! well perform xFSTK again. get into fastboot and perform following steps:
very first of all. rename .raw firmware file to .zip file and extract all files in there.. now place all files in adb and fastboot folder. open command window here. ( where you places files from raw firmware and adb and fast boot tool folder) perform the following commands
1. fastboot devices ( see if it is recognized: else plug out usb and plugin again)
2. fastboot oem erase_osip_header
3. fastboot oem erase_token
4. fastboot oem start_partitioning
5. fastboot flash /tmp/partition.tbl partition.tbl
6. fastboot oem partition /tmp/partition.tbl
7. fastboot erase system
8. fastboot erase cache
9. fastboot erase data
10. fastboot erase APD
11. fastboot erase ADF
12. fastboot oem wipe splashscreen
13. fastboot oem stop_partitioning
14. fastboot flash fastboot droidboot_sign.bin
15. fastboot flash token PROD_BOM_Full.bin
16. fastboot flash ifwi ifwi-prod.bin
17. fastboot flash splashscreen splash_sign.bin
18. fastboot flash boot boot_sign.bin
19. fastboot flash recovery recovery_sign.bin
20. fastboot flash APD APD.img
21. fastboot flash system system.img
22. fastboot reboot
hope it will work fine. hit thanks if helped. if any further question please post.

Thx for the detailed post.. I got in to my phone finally after messing with it all day yesterday and I close to throwing it against the wall lol. It worked like a charm.. I wonder why the flash tool wouldnt work.
Now how would I go about side loading .194 and installing a recovery like twrp again so I can back this thing up once i get to mm.

you can side load 194... works well... after 194 you can also install latest official marshmallow. but do not install custom recovery if you want to install lates MM. first install 194 then latest MM. then custom recovery

opps my bad. what you helped me with put .194 on my phone already. I ment am I able to download the MM rom and do the system update with it again. Or should I side load it? Im not sure how to side load. After I do get MM on what recovery do you recommend. I did have the latest TRWP before all this happend, Is that what caused this brick? because when it flashed mm before I think it brought me into trwp.

posting new thread. do not update to official MM if you have custom recovery or you have rooted phone. though after install MM you can install custom Recovery afterwards. not tried but i think will not cause any issue
yes cause of brick is custom recovery

I have no recovery installed I tried to get to bootloader with adb and it showed the android guy with a error. How do I go about flashing the new MM build. I really dont want to mess up my phone again lol. Only thing I have on its is .194 atm.
Is it ok to put the MM build on my internal storage and apply the system update from there?

Im sure what you mean sorry. I have .194 on my phone with the help of your steps in fastboot. It booted and im in my phone and its updating all my apps and stuff..
Do you mean factory restore in bootloader? If so I tried adb reboot recovery the phone restarts and goes to a screen with https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wuixmZ11Kyc/maxresdefault.jpg Im guessing if i cant get in to recovery I cant do a factory restore?
in fastboot my bootloader doesnt have a version number it just says unknown
EDIT when the picture above showed up I held the power button and vol + to get into recovery and its performing a factory reset atm.
Anyone else bricked ?
Unbrick and into system with correct serial and imei numbers in 20 mins ..see my signature for zubes ..
PS, save yourself days of pain , after xfstk , flash an earlier raw ..

Reflash in xfstk, press dload ...power plus vol + together till phone recycles and flash begins , check my signature below for tutorial, read whole thread and watch video.
You may need to flash an earlier raw too from which the ifwi and fwr dnx and pos bin are made.

you might have unlocked bootloader with unofficial method. nothing to worry about its just a warning devices are far more insecure. if you are worried about privacy things. believe there is nothing like secure when using digital devices. and there is not even single service provider which do not collect data. hence enjoy your unlocked device and play around

the last working firmware. whichever was installed last time. (assume you were on latest MM ww4.21.40.233... extract it and get the files (boot.img, recovery.img, droidboot.img, splashscreen.img) in the same firmware there will be ifwi.zip extract that too and get the files (bom token, dnx , ifwi)... now copy the extracted files to adb fastboot tool folder. and then in same folder move cursor to and empty place and hold shift and right click on mouse. you will get option open command windows here.
now reboot your phone in fastboot mode and connect to PC.. now run the following commands
fastboot devices ( to see if device is recognized by pc and fastboot tool)
fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img
fastboot flash token " bom token file name" (without commas )
fastboot flash dnx "dnx file name"
fastboot flash ifwi "ifwi file name"
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase fastboot
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
fastboot reboot
keep in mind extract files from the same firmware you were on the last time when your device was working.

before this problem happen i upgraded boorloader to MM then flash TWRP and installed MM ROM so now it has MM Custom ROM.
i did your solution and installed successfully but in adb commands as i saw give that boot.img not found then rebooted and now directly will go to installing system update and give the error (android robot with red warning icon ) .

as you already downloaded that rom.. and also the recovery needed for that rom..
first of all same as earlier flash MM bootloader. ther reboot bootloader once then flash twrp. the exactly mentioned in the RBR rom thread. then go to advanced in twrp and click adb sidelaod. tick wipe dalvik cache and cache. swipe to sideload ... now run command adb sideload "rom file name"
if bootloops after flashing firmware. do a factory reset and reboot. going to sleep now 1.15 AM here. will answer tomorrow if any other question
