FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error)) when trying to flash anything to phone

I have S-ON and a non-HK phone with an OS of 2.16.651 I believe. @Sloth tried to help me but to no success, so I'll try to see if anybody else can help me figure out the issue.
Basically, everything works up until I actually start to flash the phone. It gives me this error:
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
There's a bit more to it, but that's mostly unrelated stuff (the command and blahblahblah).

I've tried 2 different computers and different ports on all of them. I don't have any other USB cables for my phone available, but this one works with my PS4 controllers finely so I'm guessing it should work fine.

If someone could help me and anyone else with my luck in the future, please answer. I don't want to have to resort to a store as I have no money and the store is quite far. Thanks!

EDIT: Something else to mention, there is no firmware on this device and only has an accessible bootloader and recovery. I currently have the bootlocker relocked. I had ViperOneM8, although uninstalled after realizing I had no access to WiFi (I ignored the disclaimer :c). I don't have a SIM card as this phone was given and I didn't buy it myself from any carrier, I have no service.

I Just Cant do anything to my Note 3 n900w8, WHY?

let me start by saying I've read almost all your threads only reason im actually bothering is because I'm really feeling like smashing my phone to bits .... that's how frustrating this has been. my phone was rooted and custom ROM till about 4 weeks ago, when Tmobile told me the IMEI on my phone was reported as stolen ... i grabbed my box as my phone i have since it was new and compared the IMEI ... to my surprise IMEI on box and on Phone chasis was not same as the one inside phone .... my phone was unblocked by a local unblocking service here in PR so i went to them and surely they took my phone and lent me another one while it was getting fixed ... "IMEI" was being changed again and it wasn't the one on the box either ... the gave me lame excuse about my IMEI .... they kept my note 3 for a week almost 2 after i got it back my note 3 said it was rooted but i couldn't use any apps for rooted phones as it would say i didn't have root access ... as i no longer trust these people i went on and tried fixing the issue myself ... and here's the thing i have tried absolutely everything cf auto root tar from download mode and even thru odin all versions of odin and using the sm-n900w8 cf auto root and the right roms "different one's to see if it was the rom's or the phone" i am about to give up i simply cannot root my phone so that i can install a modified rom ... thought of contacting you guys ... as my last resort ... i am so sorry to bother i know you guys are very busy ... but if you guys cant help i will have to settle for just a regular note 3 and that sucks... i have picture of absolutely everything i have tried and the outcome and the errors i have gotten and all in pics if needed...
Please pardon me for asking for a little help i really thought i could done this i guess i am not as savvy as i have thought...

Thanx in advanced Emilio Pinella

Want to install CM12 on ZV6 Rooted do i have to do anything extra?

Wanting CM12 on my LGG3, i accidently upgraded to 4.4.2 when it came out and was just today got back to wanting a custom rom, i rooted with the LG Root Script V2.4 and have checked Superuser is on, i go to clockwork mod to look at my recovery and i guess i have TWRP and ClockworkMod Recovery but its a custom one, dont know if its 2.x or 3.x. I also remember when i was first looking at custom roms or maybe flashing back to ZV4 you had to back something up to be working on sprint.

So my question to you is,

1. Do i need to do something with the recovery.
2. Do i need to back up the MIN/ESN/MEID/IMEI or anything like that or can i just straight up install CM12?

Thanks for the help

Samsung pay activation offer.... Can't claim anything???

Today Samsung Pay app is officially release, i just install it and add my card. A pop-up came out saying that with the new galaxy s6 edge plus or note 5 you can claim a wireless charger or a wallet flip cover from Samsung and it gave you the instruction of what to do. I follow it but on the announcement tab it just remain blank soo i can't claim anything.

Have anybody tried already

Okay, it's time to ask for help. I can't flash anything!

Well....Almost, I have CM11 "working"

I have a (bestbuy) refurb HTC One M7spr ... I'm wondering if the CID may be incorrect o.O but I haven't messed with that on any of my previos phones.

give me a sec, I'll get back to my chromebook and edit this with a few more details (I'm in an office on a win pc at the moment)

I gave up and grabbed "rom.zip" from the %temp% folder, I'll detail my struggles in a few.

Here is my fastboot session (for my info and anyone willing to help figure this one out)

Nexus 5 and various issues, anything that can be done?

Alright,

Phone: Nexus 5 2013
Android: 5.1.1
Country: Canada

So I've started to get a lot of issues on my Nexus 5 that I ordered back in November 2013 (when it was released) and they are too big to be left alone. If I cannot fix them, I'll have to buy a new cellphone and there's none that interest me right now, nor that I want to change my current Nexus 5.

Issues:

My Nexus 5 doesn't connect to my cellular network anymore. I'll stay on "No service" and refuse to connect to any Operator Network stating that the network is unavailable at the moment, even thought it is. Sometimes, it'll connect to the network for 15 to 30 minutes, before losing it for the next 8 hours.

It becomes hot really, really quick randomly. The upper back part of it becomes hot, and according to the Nexus 5 architecture, the battery isn't even located there so I don't know what could make it heat up like that. This happens even without it being charged, and without me using it a lot (games, apps, etc.)

The phone will randomly restart for no reason, and sometimes stay stuck on a "boot loop" (Starting apps X of Y... before restarting).

The vibrate mode is messed up. It'll vibrate every 30 seconds for a notification (email, Facebook, SMS, etc.) despite the fact that there's nothing, absolutely nothing. Right now I disabled the vibration/sound mode to avoid that issue.

The battery gets drained really, really fast. Like overnight, while not being used it'll fall from 100% to 5%. It never used to do that. When I don't use it overnight, it would lose maybe 20%, even less than that. It started recently as well.

All these issues were present in past versions of Android, starting at 4.4 so I doubt the version is in cause here, but it's still a possibility I guess.


I got my SIM card changed for a brand a new one, troubleshooted the phone with everything I could find online before giving up and restoring it to it's default settings, but the issues are still present. I don't know what I should check anymore. If you have any comments, experiences or solutions I could try to solve my issues, please let me know since at this point I'll most likely try all of them. Also, if you need more information on my phone, system, etc. let me know as well.

Thank you.

[WARNING] Cricket Customers and the Moto E. You can't do anything with this phone.

I got a Moto E from Cricket the other day and spent the last couple of days searching the forums to no avail and I hope to save others from wasting their time. I feel like if this is true it should be in one of the Guides or FAQs or something. I had to do a lot of searching before finding all this out.

So apparently Cricket/Att have opted out of/refused to participate in Motorolas bootloader unlock program.
The ONLY way (so far at least) to unlock your bootloader is by using the official unlock code from Motorola.
If you try and get the code from their site you get the error message: "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking."

The only way to get root is to have an unlocked bootloader.

To make matters even worse, it appears as if they have completely blocked the ability to move ANY apps to the SD card. So you will have about 2Gigs total for apps.

I am going to try and return the phone today and buy an already unlocked version. Id love it if I was wrong about this but afaik that is the state of things atm.
