[GUIDE][Osprey] Fastboot Flashing Factory Firmware Images

[lost101]

Did factory data reset in stock recovery first before following fastboot flash procedure. Did my lads Vodafone UK branded phone to 5.1.1 EU Retail 3 days ago and its perfect.

Though this on which is Tesco Uk is not right. Done it again but it will not boot to recovery as just displays green android and No command so can't wipe in recovery now. Can't go back to 5.1.1 either as it fails on flashing boot probably due to MM partitioning is different. Still makes system hang if facebook is installed too.

Are you including the following command: fastboot erase userdata?

Yeah, following every step as per the flash by fastboot thread.

Yeah, following every step as per the flash by fastboot thread.

Please don't cross-post. The issue is either (a) phone is not being wiped, or (b) firmware image is not flashing. Provide a log of the fastboot flashing process - copy and paste command prompt. Take screenshots if necessary. You may need to try different flashing scenarios - different PC (or in Linux), different usb cable.

Not got another pc to try unfortunately. Is there no way of going back to 5.1.1? If not its off back in box and I will buy something else lol. Only got the 8g as I thought MM would play nice with sd card which it dont do any better than any android version before.

When flashing 6.0 every step says Okay so assume its working correct, done it twice with same outcome. It works ok and is working now but facebook apps make playstore hang as it just sits on installing. Doing a factory reset within android just hangs on Erasing and entering recovery mode just says no command under mr green android.

Flashing 5.1.1 retail uk on my sons vodafone uk handset on same laptop went perfect though not tried putting MM on his yet and doubt I will try now.

fastboot boot recovery.img​

Such issues indicate you have not flashed the MM Firmware image correctly. Factory data reset in Stock Recovery before flashing.

@lost1010 I did that and get:
C:\MM>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.522s]
booting...
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.527s

Just some thoughts here...is E: the SD Card? Can it be that it is looking for the cache on my SD card and it is not finding it? Is there an image for the cache I can flash?

Just add too that I have this micro sd car - 32GB MicroSDHC Card, Lexar Professional 1000X, C10, UHS-II, U3, 150MB/s and any apps installed to it are un useable and it even states that its a slow card. But its a fat card and genuine so this MM update is far from a finished product. I did get facebook apps installed but it takes 5 mins plus before they install.

That SDCARD may be the source of all your sorrow.

Everyone: Do not report issues unless you have removed SDCARD, flashed firmware image and tested ROM fully. Installing apps to SDCARD is above and beyond what this tutorial is about.

The sd card was not inserted at any point during my issues listed. Just tried it now and moved a few apps to test. removed immediately and put it in my sons phone with 5.1.1 installed and tried same apps moved and its perfect.

Just hope there will be a way to go back to 5.1.1 as mine is not the same phone. Still takes an age to factory restore and still no command message in recovery mode. Tried again to fastboot 6.0, no errors at any stage but still same. I could not even sell it as it is at the moment.

I think you can use the files included here on Mac:

To test:

./adb devices
./fastboot devices​

So Its basically the same procedure, and i just add ./ in front of every command?
And a last question, I know it sounds stupid but how do I navigate to the path where the files are? It just shows me that its in mydrivesname>motog(thats the folder name). How do I write that in the terminal?
Thanks for the quick answer!

Thanks for posting that link. I wiped mine that way and installed 6.0 again as cant go back to 5.1.1 then wiped it again in recovery before first boot and its a different phone. Though both Facebook and facebook groups took a while to install compared to all the other apps byt did eventually. Maybe they need an update for MM, who knows. It is now running smooth though almost no space left. Shame sd cards are useless still but next time I will get a larger memory.:good:

Did you do a "Factory Data Reset" in Android Settings prior to flashing? See post above about how to do this in Stock Recovery:

Is there a difference, doing a factory reset in android, or doing it in recovery?

Check the names of the files in the firmware folder. Do not simply copy and paste commands from the tutorial. You need to flash all sparsechunks. Provide a log. Show me the contents of command prompt. Take screenshots if necessary.
