Special thanks to thewarhawk, NFHimself, Ka4yan and Devbro. you guys made it a hell lot easier! Does anyone know how to remove the text "unlocked" from the boot screen??
Standard Disclaimer: Don't telegraph me if your device is bricked!
thx .i gonna try it
thanks more to come!!!
Not to be a stickler, but shouldn't the fastboot command be "fastboot flash boot <filename>.bin" ?
I might be wrong but I thought fastboot commands run on the structure of
fastboot flash <partition> [ <filename> ]
Again, correct me if I'm wrong, I just don't want anyone to be confused (as I am obviously )
EDIT: Nevermind, is "logo" the partition? If it is, my bad.
well...we are not dealing with boot image, but just boot logo ! you are right if we are flashing a new boot image to our device, might be like this
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and recovery, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it clearly specifies the partition! but here we flash the logo, boot logo! correct me if im wrong!
edit: yea yea sounds like partition!! though its just logo
Well, it seems no one is having any issues so more than likely you are right.
I'm definitely no expert.

Can anyone guide me the way how to flash via fastboot.I'm confused.Guide me steps by steps,what should i do...Does it needs any software or etc..I've root the device & wanted to flash the roms.I did flash the roms.right after flash he rom,i had to extract the boot.img from the ROM.zip and flash it via fastboot.."fasboot flash boot boot.img"
This part i'm confused at..Pls help me ..Thanks in advanced..
If you have acheived S-Off via HTCDev, you will need to extract the boot.img from the ROM.zip and flash it via fastboot
"fasboot flash boot boot.img"
If you don't have good experience in flashing, I'd be very careful, you can easily brick it. There is nothing wrong with staying on a stock ROM, I find the stock to be stable and fast.
there is also nothing wrong with reading up and learning. a simple google search of adb and fastboot commands will give you something to work off of
...and when you're confident in proceeding... be careful with your spelling.
"fasboot flash boot boot.img" - No
"fastboot flash boot boot.img" - Yes

What about fastboot flash system.img???
Hi everyone I have a big problem I make backup of my stock rom (boot.img, recovery.img, etc.) and now I try to flash it back but it say error and bad size
My device: Colorovo citytab lite 10" (RockChip RK3168)
Sorry for my bad English.
You have to flash the .img files with fastboot.
For the boot its: fastboot flash boot boot.img
For the recovery its: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I'm trying to toggle on fastboot but I can't see device in "fastboot devices"
Now I'm on logo screen(not animation) but I can't boot. Only works recovery, adb and bootloader :/
Hey guys.
SGP312 model here, unlocked bootloader.
not sure what i did wrong here - i got to Fastboot mode and the blue light is on, when i run "Fastboot devices" i get the device name.
so i followed the explanation here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...pment/ub-twrp-v3-2-1-xperia-tablet-z-t3735110
and did: "fastboot flash boot twrp-3.2.1-0-pollux_windy.img"
however, now my phone won't boot, and when i type "adb reboot recovery" i get "error: device not found" (even thought "Fastboot devices" gives me a response")
i tried fixing it with Flashtool, and everything works well until i get to "Wait for Flashmode" and im instructed to "unplug, power off, pres vol down, plug in USB cable" - this simply doesn't do anything =X
so.... how do i get out of this? all i want to do is install one of the newer roms from the forum (either Marshmallow or Oreo)
can anyone help me get out of this issue i've gotten myself into?

you flashed recovery to boot. So only recovery exists in boot section.
Of course tablet won't boot afterwards, as there is not kernel.
Download custom rom you want to install, unpack boot.img from roms zip files and flash via "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Afterwards enter recovery and flash custom rom zip, gapps or whatever you need.

I did the same thing knowing the outcome and then successfully flashed Lineage.
For future reference, with the Xperia Tablet z where should I be flashing the recovery if not to boot:
"fastboot flash *What goes here?* twrp-3.x.x-0-pollux_windy.img"

where twrp.img is your recovery image.
Hello!
Now I have a trouble with my Nokia 7.1.
When I try to boot twrp or another kernel (boot.img) it stuck. I do '"fastboot boot twrp.img" or "fastboot boot boot.img" and my phone frozes on Android One logo.
And if problem with twrp can be solved (first enter "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and only than "fastboot boot twrp.img"), problem with boot.img is still relevant.
I noticed, that after "fastboot boot ..." phone restarts into download mode.
My phone is unlocked.
Thank
Hi, before any boot command, you'll need to do that flash recovery counterpart. You can do it on a standard boot image as well, not just TWRP. There's no recovery partition, so, nothing gets flashed. But it somehow allows us to boot our bootable img files.
So,
Code:
fastboot flash recovery boot.img
fastboot boot boot.img

I recently came to this conclusion, but what is it?
Does it bootloader bug or anything else?
i have similar problems and just started a new request
Hey all,
I have a new z5c running 32.4.A.1.54 stock.
I flash TWRP (I have tried a few different versions) using Fastboot on Ubuntu20.04, it all runs fine no errors, and appears to flash as it should.
But the phone will not load TWRP, from the phone itself, I have tried a million different ways.
The only way it loads is by
fastboot boot twrp.img
But when I do this .. android will not then start .. hangs on Sony logo
I have to reflash the stock rom to get it to work again
If I run
fastboot reboot recovery
I get:
fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target recovery
even tho:
fastboot devices
correctly identifies the device
I would like to root and use custom rom, but have not yet been able to get past this TWRP hurdle
Has anyone experience of this, or any ideas?
You've flashed TWRP in a wrong way! Please search for help in my several ROM threads.
Well, thanks for your answer, really, I appreciate it
But I have flashed it again and again and followed your threads and other threads
I'm not a newbie, i have flashed TWRP and roms to a few phones, inc Z1C and a couple of Z3Cs
I have adb, and fastboot installed
Bootloader unlocked
USB debugging
Recommended stock
I have downloaded multiple .img files, including your 3.6.1 version
I run fastboot
and
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
The phone will not reboot into TWRP, using buttons nor fastboot, only into android, unless I then run
fastboot boot twrp.img
Then TWRP runs, but when I then reboot, I just hit the SONY logo if I have not flashed a ROM or a bootloop if I have.
And from there will not return to TWRP at all.
What am I missing?
I'm very confused as everything you're talking about is working here and for other users flawlessly.
Really, I don't know what's wrong at your side.

Did you try what I told you in this post?
With that, LineageOS 19.1 MUST boot up!
If not, I don't know further...

I did try that as recommended, thanks
I am flashtool-ing back to the stock again, after being again stuck on boot with TWRP inaccessible
I will give it one last go
Thanks, man
How do I buy you a coffee?
That's all really weird; since it works here since years.
From a fresh fully-functional stock install
Following this simple process exactly
Devices with only TWRP.IMG
If your device only has the IMG file, then execute the below command: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Now execute the below command to boot your device to the TWRP recovery. fastboot boot twrp.img
Once it boots to TWRP, you could then boot it to the OS, via the Reboot > System option in TWRP.
From here;
https://www.getdroidtips.com/flash-twrp-recovery-android/
After 3. it gets to SONY logo and hangs
Same every time
Obviously not a problem with your or any other custom ROM
The only way out from here is to Flashtool the stock again
Geez
I'm giving up on TWRP and custom ROM
I'll go for the rooted, debloated, degoogled stock as best as I can get it
Thanks v much for the support!
I've NEVER used the command
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
I've always flashed TWRP like this:
Shutting down device
Waiting some time
Pressing volume up and plugging usb cable
Enter this command in a terminal window:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_3.6.1_9-0-recovery_suzuran_2022-03-09.img
After unplugging the usb cable and waiting some time I rebooted into TWRP by pressing power and volume down simultaneously.
That worked since years flawlessly!

Right .. deep breath ... one last go at this using yr suggestion,
thanks
Nope
Same again
All goes as it should
Power and volume down simultaneously
Boots into Android
adb reboot recovery
Also boots into android
If I was now to run
fastboot boot twrp.img
It would run TWRP the one time, but just hang on SONY logo when rebooted
Ho hum.

That SHOULD NOT happen if you've flashed TWRP in the only right way.
I'm sorry, but I don't believe that...

Well, its not a particularly complicated process
I have described exactly what I have done
I have done it multiple times
And that is what happens
As I said: I've never seen that and that's not reported very often by other users.
And if, then it has been an error in flashing.
Highly unlikely that you're devices so called FOTA partition is damaged so that the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <name of the recovery image>
fails.
Code:
fastboot flash boot <name of the boot image>
flashes the boot partition and that's not the same as the FOTA partition.
I have to believe you but somehow I can't.
I understand
fastboot flash recovery <name of the recovery image>
Doesn't fail exactly ... it runs fine .. no errors
Code:
~/Dev/Z5/twrp/3.6.1$ fastboot flash recovery TWRP_3.6.1_9-0-recovery_suzuran_2022-03-09.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (22668 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.570s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.395s]
finished. total time: 0.965s
But then the phone will only boot android
~~~
Unless
I run;
fastboot flash boot <name of the boot image>
Again, runs fine .. no errors
Code:
~/Dev/Z5/twrp/3.6.1$ fastboot boot twrp.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.552s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.561s]
finished. total time: 1.113s
This boots TWRP but then after that the phone hangs at boot and will neither start Android or TWRP
It is indeed very strange.
Look at your own code:
Code:
~/Dev/Z5/twrp/3.6.1$ fastboot boot twrp.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
From where is boot.img downloaded? And where is it stored internally?
Have you flashed system.img too?
There goes something terribly wrong at your side.
Thanks for your patience
Yes I'm sure you're right, probably user error, although I am having trouble seeing what that is exactly ...
So, using Ubuntu, I am in the directory that contains the twrp.img file (most times I have renamed it this)
Is that correct so far?
From there I run
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
All good, as above, but TWRP does not load, ever, using buttons or adb, unless I then run
fastboot boot twrp.img
TWRP then runs
But the phone will not boot into anything from there
Yes, I thought that was a little odd ...
"downloading" : I assumed it meant it was transferring the file across, or accessing it, from my pc to the device
"'boot.img" : I assumed fastboot had changed the filename to what it needed it to be ...
Is the problem around this?
You can name the recovery image file as you like it to be named.
Have you disconnected the USB cable after flashing?
Have you waited some time before trying to boot anything?
If you can boot TWRP, you can fetch a LOG file at the "Advanced" menu. Please send me this LOG file via PM (it may contain personell data!).
