Hi,
I have an AT&T Atrix 4G and I wanted to imstall CM7.2.
I had the latest Atrix Android version on it. Then I followed the instruction at the cyanogemod wiki for the atrix. So I flashed the sbf (cyanodenmod wiki -> Motorola_Atrix_4G:_Full_Update_Guide).
The rsd lite flashing didn't succeed because the atrix rebooted and the programm couldn't switch into BP passtrougth, or so.
At this point the device said something about 0x1000 no bootloader, but I could choose between rsd, fastboot and the other possibilities.
I booted into the fastboot mode and did an oem unlock. Now it says unlocked.
I booted again into the fastboot mode, and now it should be a simple
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recover.img
.
But:
Windows) it always says:
Code:
sending 'recovery' (4824 KB)... OKAY [ 0.453s]
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
after that the device reboots and is in a boot loop
so i tried linux)
The first time i tried the command everythings worked fine, but after reboot i chose
Code:
android recovery mode
, but after a while (secs) the device rebooted.
so went to fastboot again, but now the device reboots after the sending command and then it says writing failed because of no device
Thats my story
I don't know what to do, because I am frightened to make something stupid; maybe I did it already.
I don't know if when I am using rsd lite to flash a complete image the phone reboots again and i have a hard brick.
It would be nice if someone has an idea to solve this problem.
BR,

Search for automatic bootloader unlocker in these forums. The program gives you an option to clear out this error. Don't worry, you are soft bricked.
MB860, CM7.2.0, Faux 026b1 1Ghz
I looked at this site, but it looks like it uses fastboot and/or rsd.
I have thoughts about that, because everytime I use fastboot the device reboots. I am frightened that rsd does this too.
That's one reason I didn't tried it yet. The second ist that I haven't the phone with me.
I also read something about, that you should flash sbf's when you already unlocked your phone. My phone is already unlocked.
Did I read over something?
By the way, I cannot boot into android and I only see shortly the "unlocked" screen.

Hey guys,
I have an European LG G5 H850 with an unlocked bootloader. It is my first time rooting, and after unlocking the bootloader, I wanted to boot TWRP once, but I didn't want to install it, but instead keep the stock recovery untouched. So I booted into the bootloader, entered "fastboot boot twrp.img" and I got this message:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.462s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.482s
I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing wrong. I made sure twrp.img is referring to the correct file, and I tried both the Android SDK platform tools and the 15 seconds ADB installer, but none of them worked. When I try flashing the recovery with "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img", it seems to work because this appears:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (20900 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.471s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.198s]
finished. total time: 0.670s
But when I try to boot into the bootloader again, it just gives me the option to do a factory reset, nothing else. So I assume that something went wrong. I have absolutely no idea what it could be, so please help me. I also asked on reddit, but didn't get any answers so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

The "fastboot boot twrp.img" command didn't work for me either, but the keystroke to do a "factory reset" -- which is really a keystroke to enter recovery -- did work. Specifically, I
powered down the LG G5 completely (nothing attached to the USB-C port, or battery pull)
with the power off (preferably via battery pulled), held down the Volume Down and Power/Fingerprint buttons
As soon as the LG logo appeared, released and re-pressed the Power/Fingerprint button, all the while continuing to hold down Volume Down
Held down both while the LG logo showed, releasing them after the white screen appeared asking whether you want to do a full erase. Answer yes (Press and release Volume Down until the Yes is grey, then press Power/Fingerprint button)
It prompts you once again. Answer yes again the same way.
At this point after a few seconds, TWRP starts. It hasn't actually done an erase.
This is important: after fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, you need to pull the battery to power down, and then follow the instructions above to enter TWRP. Do not boot into system with the stock ROM after fastboot. It will replace TWRP with the stock recovery at boot time, and in that scenario, the full erase mentioned above actually does erase data and internal storage.
TWRP will on first start change the system image (once you "allow modification") so that the stock ROM stops replacing it at boot time.
If you did boot up the stock ROM after fastboot, you will need to re-enter fastboot and flash TWRP again (power down with USB-C port clear, hold down Volume Up, insert USB-C cable, fastboot flash recovery twrp.img). Then pull the battery with fastboot still running, then boot into TWRP as above.
Unfortunately most writeups aren't crystal clear about the correct sequence of steps. Most cover some steps and gloss over others.
You aren't doing anything wrong.
LG did not put the typical Fastboot commands into the bootloader.
Fastboot flash does not work either.
You need to follow the other methods available on xda to get TWRP on your device.
Edit: woops. That's only with H830. Follow the instructions in the H850 TWRP thread.

After doing a flash for new pixel experience PixelExperience_Plus_beryllium-11.0-20210823-0645-OFFICIAL, phone restarted and then no other option for access. Boots into twrp logo and stuck.
adb devices in command prompt show device and recovery.
When I do bootloader into fast boot,
fastboot devices shows
??????? fast boot
then disconnects. (after this it doesnt progress any further and disconnects from pc).
cant fastboot any files as it has error, my boot loader is unlocked and was on pixel experience 10 prior.
what are my next steps?
the teamwin recovery is 3.2.3-0

Use the latest Official TWRP since the one you have now is outdated and do clean install according the guide at POCO F1 Ultimate Collection & Guides. (You need to format data not just wipe) You can find everything you need there.
first time i turned on phone today, i was able to to do command fastboot devices and it actually showed the device id, then when i tried to flash it stopped and then everytime i connect it wont even show fastboot devices without showing ???????? and shutting down again.
ive tried installing uninstalling the drivers and boot loader drivers, i believe its something to do with that, otherwise it has unlock symbol when it gets stuck on twrp logo, then when i put into fastboot it doesnt have unlock symbol before fastboot splash, what could it be? (im unable to flash anything without getting
1. running fastboot flash/boot/ any command really
Sending 'recovery' (1551913 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error))
fastboot: error: Command failed
2. running command then connecting phone already in fastboot
< waiting for any device >
FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error))
fastboot: error: Command failed

Check AMD Ryzen Fastboot Fix at the thread I posted above. If you have Intel system just install the Fastboot Drivers which is there (at the thread) and check.
Hi guys, I'm trying to install a custom rom on my G power 2021 and Im at the step where I need to install TWRP but version 3.2 doesn't support touch for me and I don't know where to look to find a newer version, now I'm stuck in a bootloop :/
Thanks !
If you are installing a GSI (generic system image) you can use fastbootd for now until someone gets touch working Hold down the power and volume down button till you get into the bootloader it should show basic information about the phone then type "fastboot reboot fastboot" then should boot into fastbootd usually when flashing a system gsi image from stock rom it would say "
Resizing 'system_a' FAILED (remote: 'Not enough space to resize partition')
fastboot: error: Command failed"
then type "fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a"
these commands won't work if not booted into fastbootd
This requires Motorola's USB drivers it's good to have the stock firmware downloaded before continuing just in case, backup anything important before doing anything I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong I've used these steps on my RETCA never had a problem.
Forgot one thing DO NOT SWITCH TO SLOT B as it will not boot.
First time poster.... please go gentle on me. Not entirely new to custom roms and TWRP, but really stuck here. I am trying to install a CrDroid ROM. Phone is not networked locked and brand new. What I managed to do so far:
1. Reset the phone
2. reboot into Recovery (Mi Recovery)
3. Wipe data
4. Unlocked the phone (using offical Mi Unlock)
I then proceeded to boot into Fastboot and flashed the TWRP (twrp-3.7.0_12-0-onclite), renamed to recovery. But after flashing and rebooting I can only get into Fastboot, or boot it normally. Holding down the Volume+Up and Power button doesn't get me anywhere but Fastboot. (Same for Volume-Down and Power Up). I tried both un-pluggin the phone from the PC immediately after flashing is finished, and using Fastboot Reboot command, but all to no avail. Its Fastboot or normal boot only.
I also tried whats suggested here upto the vbmeta image, but didn't make a difference. When sending the 'fastboot boot recovery.img' command, I get the following error:
C:\adb>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.939s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown reason)
finished. total time: 1.502s
Trying this guide for a 'custom' boot image from this page also didnt help
Really hoping there is a way to get this resolved. But totally stuck here. Have access to both Mac OS and Windows 10. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be wonderful!
Ok, small update - in hope to help others...
I went ahead and used 'XiaoMiTool V2'to see if it might help to load a different ROM. When starting the app, I choose the 'Bricked' device option, even it wasnt bricked. I choose the Global ROM 12. (The phone showed up as unknown and I didnt sign in with the Mi Account).
After the new ROM was on it, phone started normally and went through the setup. Had to re-enable Developer Options, USB Debugging, but even so it still didnt work - installing the TWRP just kept bringing me back to Fastboot.
However, the TWRP from this page did work: https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomi-mi439.html
I also took no chances and held the Volume up button pressed and with the Command window open and 'fastboot reboot'typed out, hit the Enter key at the same time as pressing the Power button on the phone.
Worked for me!
Try to install PitchBlack Recovery it's very compable PBRP-pine-3.1.0 _OFFICIAL
