Um, why is it trying to flash gpt?????  That just caused a problem that now needs to be fixed.

[livinginkaos]

I removed that

Sent from my S-Offed One M8

[SamuriHL]

Then the original XML was flashed.  Nicht gut.

I flashed the one he gave and then it gave the error with 2/19 flash sbl1 "sbl1.mbn" phone returned fail

[SamuriHL]

Because of the low battery state, yes.  But if you then flashed something else that flashed the GPT partition, things are much worse now.

So just charge it...?

I don't think it flashed, it just got to that part and didn't go any further on any version I tried

[SamuriHL]

What does your AP Fastboot screen say now?  I'm pretty sure it's different than before.  And yes, it needs to be charged.  Charging with a low battery is also dangerous.  Flashing a GPT partition lower than the one that's on your phone, unlocked or not, then you will get a GPT error in fastboot which can only be fixed by flashing the proper GPT partition before ANYTHING else can be flashed.

Fastboot reason: Sticky bit factory_fastboot

if charging with a low battery is dangerous then what do I do

[SamuriHL]

Not charging, FLASHING with a low battery is dangerous.

oh alright
am I bricked? Should I try to flash the new ota instead?

[SamuriHL]

You need to slow down.  Take a breath.  Get the phone charged.  You are bricked most likely, yes, but it's fixable. You need to flash the latest FXZ with the script that Kaos gave you.  It failed because you have a low battery, so you went and tried to flash something else with a low battery. That's not a good choice.  We'll get this fixed but you gotta not do things to make it worse as it'll take longer to fix.  If, once it's charged, the flash fails again (and it may), we'll fix it so that it'll flash successfully.  THEN you can flash the OTA.  But not until the FXZ is flashed successfully.

Thank you for the news

I'm at least greatful that people are helping me and that its fixable, I need to get the phone off, no matter how much I hold the power it wont go off, I'll try the script once I can get this charged.

[SamuriHL]

Make sure it's not plugged in when holding the power button.  That means USB or power.  Once it's off, then you can plug it in to the wall to charge it.  Not a USB port.

i'm in fastboot mind you. I'm holding the power and nothings happening

Unplug the phone and hold all three buttons to see if you can get the phone to shut off and then reboot.  If this works, then holding the power button should make the phone power off.

it went off then turned back on, holding power doesn't do anything yo

Yeah, the 3 button thing is like pulling the battery. However, I'm not really sure why the power button won't shut it down. The phone won't charge in FB, though, so I'm not sure how you could get power to it. You might need to get a Team Black Hat factory adapter.

I can get the screen to go black, it just turns back on after I plug it in

[nal]

I've been charging my battery as for like half an hour, the battery status is "OK"

should I try it now?

[nal]

I think I'm ready to fix it, I think it has enough battery.

What do I need to do to fix this.
