Nov 13, 2013 03:29AM

I'd like to apologize in case if I didn't use "Search" properly as I was not able to find anything relevant for keywords: "FAILED (remote: (InvalidState))".

I'm unable to flash bootloader (bootloader-grouper-4.23.img) to my Nexus 7 (2012).

Terminal's output:

JWR66V bootloader (4.18) works, JWR66Y (4.23) doesn’t. It fails with “Signature mismatch”.

The bootloader (fastboot screen) states that “SIGNING - not defined yet”.

Bootloader images in past three or four factory image packages for nakasi are simply broken. There is an XDA thread with more detailed description of this issue:

Also occurring with the 4.4.4 (KTU84P) build located here:

I thought I bricked a tablet after trying to flash this firmware over the out-of-the-box Android. Good thing XDA exists to fix this royal screw-up from Google / Asus. The "genuine Android experience" is just broken.

Last FIVE releases of the factory image now contains the broken boot loader. Maybe time to tell the guys doing the releases?

I'm getting the same FAILED error when flashing the bootloader, but I ignored it, rebooted and everything seems to be just fine after running the rest of the commands and rebooting.

Status: Won't Fix (Obsolete)

mi...@nerone.org <mi...@nerone.org> #18Dec 8, 2014 11:03PM

Why marked Obsolete? Still happens today with just-downloaded LRX21P on Nexus 7 2012 Wifi.

cu...@gmail.com <cu...@gmail.com> #19Dec 9, 2014 06:02PM

I found that the working 4.23 bootloader in JWR66V is 76 bytes shorter than the bootloader in all following images, including LRX21P. Those later files start:

0000000: 4d53 4d2d 5241 4449 4f2d 5550 4441 5445 MSM-RADIO-UPDATE
0000010: 0000 0100 3c00 0000 3c00 0000 0100 0000 ....<...<.......

0000040: 4c00 0000 50d2 2000 0100 0000 L...P. .....

That's the 76 bytes, and from there it's identical to JWR66V's bootloader.

Here's what I get trying to flash them:

This problem is still present in the 5.0.1 images for the Nexus 7 2012 WiFi model... why was it marked "Obsolete"?

vi...@gmail.com <vi...@gmail.com> #21Dec 20, 2014 11:42AM

There is no 5.0.1 image for that device, but I can confirm that the issue is still there in the 5.0.2 LRX22G image - bootloader fails with "invalide state".

ch...@vandeplas.com <ch...@vandeplas.com> #22Dec 20, 2014 02:56PM

What seems to work is to first replace the bootloader-grouper-4.23.img file with the one delivered here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2417097.
And then run: "./flash-all.sh"
(2012 Wifi model)

@christophe This fixed the writing bootloader failed error for me on 8GB N7 2012 WiFi (nakasi) for flashing the 5.0.2 image. Thanks for the tip.

It's still not fixed in the latest image 5.0.2 for Nexus 7 3G (2012). This is annoying! For over a year, nobody cared enough to fix a simple issue like this? This is becoming a joke!

sg...@googlemail.com <sg...@googlemail.com> #27Mar 10, 2015 08:02AM

Same happening on the N7'12 with the 5.1 images. PRESUMABLY this is a harmless warning if tries to install the same bootloader version as is already installed.

I did:

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=162488

the software quality of Android on the Nexus devices is a joke. Besides this bug (for which a workaround is available luckily) I can not believe that the baseband_xmm_power wakelock is still there.

What frustrates me most is that there is no way to make Google aware of those problems.

Just for interest's sake, I've just flashed my tilapia to 5.0.2 (nakasig-lrx22g) and experienced the same error...

I left it at the error screen (Mr. Android lying on his back with a red exclamation mark) and started googling and by the time I'd found out what to do next (flash the older bootloader) it'd started booting.

Incase anyone else wants to try, just leave it for 10 mins and see
