Droidboot Lost! Please help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I am using Asus Zenfone 5 T100J. I have rooted my phone and run the TWRP 2.8.7.0 custom recovery in it. The Rom running the phone is Resurrection Remix 5.5.8. Today I tried to flash a custom kernel in my phone and accidentally typed "fastboot flash fastboot boot.img" instead of "fastboot flash boot boot.img" . yea I override the stock fastboot with a kernel! My mistake!!
Now the issue is that I cant access the fastboot. I can switch On the phone, use recovery (thanks to Advanced Reboot) and phone works fine. But cant use adb since there is NO fastboot.
There is no point in pressing Vol Up + Power since the actual fastboot may be corrupted, thanks to myself.
guys please help me get my droidboot back... I cant even sideload using TWRP (Device not detected when sideloading, otherwise device is visible). I badly want droidboot to flash using adb. Kindly help. Thanks in advance..

Please Help! I have soft bricked my OnePlus X!!

Hi. I have had the OnePlus X for a very long time, and I have recently bricked .
Ok, here it goes :fingers-crossed:. I had a OnePlus X running CM13 with TWRP but a locked bootloader. I decided to try cyanogenmod recovery but soon realized it was terrible.
I was unable to flash img. files and the UI was unappealing to me. However at that point I was able to reboot into my ROM (CM13) with no issues. Knowing this, I thought that the only way I could get TWRP back was through a fastboot command (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img).
For me to execute that command, I needed to unlock my bootloader first, so I took all the necessary steps in the developer options settings menu. I then booted into fastboot mode and executed this command: fastboot oem unlock. This was my big mistake, as I read up after that you should not unlock bootloader on a custom recovery.
After executing this command, it booted me into recovery. I tried many times without success to wipe data and flash a rom zip via external sd card but they never worked. To make things worse, I was unable to boot up the device. Whenever I tried to power on the device, it booted straight into recovery. I am able to boot into fasboot and recovery, but that is pretty much it. Can someone please help me? I am willing to donate.
If you were able to flash the Cyanogen recovery with a locked bootloader you should be able to flash the official OPX recovery as well. You can download that from this link: https://s3.amazonaws.com/oxygenos.oneplus.net/OPX_recovery.img
Then you should be able to unlock the bootloader!
Or if @Tanner1294's doesn't help, flashing stock rom via fastboot will surely help..
PS: Don't ever flash anything on a locked bootloader.

Cannot access recovery after using MSMDownloadTool recovery package

Hi,
I screwed up my phone and hard bricked it, so I used the MSMDownload Tool to make it run normally again, but...
It allowed me to recover my phone, but I cannot access recovery. I also tried to update the phone, but it would hang on the oneplus logo. I also cannot unlock my bootloader, as after it completes (and says it completed successfully on my computer) it again hangs on the oneplus logo.
Could anybody help me out here with how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance!
Hello .
My condolences first. I've been there before.
Anyway can you get your device bootloader unlocked in settings then fastboot and do ya fastboot Cody terminal stuff?
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
DON'T FORGET THIS WILL WIPE WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE.
Yay! Once you done that stay in fastboot and push twrp from there. Flash latest naturally.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot recovery twrp.img
That should jump into your TWRP then flash a rom if you want . But that should do it .
Hope I helped give us a thanks if I did

cant boot after "fastboot flash boot twrpfilename.img"

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"

Soft brick while trying to flash TWRP

Hello to all !
In order to install Lineage OS on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5, I was trying to flash TWRP as recovery. I was able to run successfully command 'fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img' to skirt anti rollback, then i execute successfully 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' command to flash TWRP, but no way to boot on TWRP.
I tried also to run command 'fastboot boot recovery.img' but while booting it stays stucked on MI logo.
While searching for a solution I inconveniently run command 'fastboot flash boot recovery.img', so now I'm in a bootloop on fastboot mode if I press volume down and power button, or MI logo if I start in normal mode.
I still have access to fastboot commands, do you know how I can do to fix it (and maybe a way to install TWRP correctly) ?
And I can not stop my phone, does it exist a command which allows to do this in fastboot or I have to wait for my phone to be without battery ?
Thanks in advance for your help !

I guess you have Redmi note 5 - codename: Whyred (Snapdragon 636 and with dual rear camera) so Redmi 5 plus doesn´t have ARB.
If the next recommendation doesn´t work you will find better guidance in the thread for your specific device https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro so is slightly different.
Flash again your stock boot image , reboot and check that USB debugging is enabled and start again the process:
Put TWRP in your sdcard and a copy with this name in your adb folder into pc, reboot to fastboot and first just boot to TWRP, don´t flash it in fastboot, use code
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP.img
then in TWRP flash TWRP file and flash dummy.img ARB. In the case that your counter is up to 4 here you will find the file to enable again fastboot mode https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/index-everything-anti-roll-t3816219

I will assume that you have the correct TWRP build for your device (do you have vince, or whyred?).
If you have the correct TWRP, then did you flash magisk or lazyflasher after installing TWRP?
MAAAN
Do like this: once you flashed type
Fastboot boot recoveryname.img

If you flash stock can you resume control and appreciate with repatching of recovery

O, oh man, i just got shocked !!! By all this.
I understood that my problem is in boot,
because this command
fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot c:\twrp.img
tells android that when i press power button, to boot into whatewer it is pointed to.
So this command tells android to boot recovery instead of normal system.
So i just reverted it in bootloader (fastboot) mode, by pushing command
fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img
So it booted up again ) , and also important, without losing any precious data. ))
______
It is true when people say that if everything fails in android, there is always a bootloader that you cant destroy.
And also here are commands for other partitions, in this way you can flash whole system without root or anything, for anybody who face this problem which is very hard to break without ADB, because i think even if i flash stock ROM it will boot recovery because somewhere deep inside, it is written from that bootloader,
Again, never joke with bootloader, if it dont support, it dont support and over, i dont want TWRP anymore.
Dont get in this trouble, mybe nobody will be able to fix it if he dont know how it happened.
______
Commands
_______
adb reboot bootloader (to go into bootloader)
fastboot flash boot boot.img (this is i used)
fastboot flash system system.img (this is ROM, like kitkat, or lolipop)
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img (this can be optional, it means full reset)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ( if on twrp , dont flash this thing if not cause problems)
