Hi All,
I've just got myself a Dell Streak, which I am trying to flash with the elloh ROM (following steps 1-8 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23527490&postcount=216). I'm using Linux (Ubuntu), and have all the Android SDK etc installed, and appearing to be working.
When I " sudo fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img " I get the following:
Code:
sending 'recovery' (3434 KB)...
FAILED (command write failed (Bad file descriptor))
finished. total time: 0.000s
I have also tried running the same command through VirtualBox (running WinXP), which seems to get much further. I get:
Code:
sending 'recovery' (3434 KB)
OKAY [0.230s ]
writing 'recovery'...
at which point the Streak displays 'Download RECOVERY Done', and nothing else happens. The DOS prompt appears to still be 'writing', and the only way of getting out is a Ctl+C. Having tried this and continued with the instructions, the Streak produces a lot more errors during the update (which I am assuming are related to this, and have ended up bricking my device).
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what my problem might be? Either with VM or running in 'pure linux'?
Cheers
Adam

I'm trying to find any usefull information how to flash recovery with fastboot to my dell streak 5 under ubuntu for 2 days but I haden't found solution.
Whenever I want to send file in fastboot mode I get:
Code:
[email protected]:~/Pobrane/DSC_flashme2$ sudo fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn
sending 'amss' (15780 KB)...
FAILED (command write failed (Bad file descriptor))
finished. total time: 0.000s
any ideas what to do?
Code:
sudo fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
works fine

obviously it will fail because you are not using the one for streak 5. we have our own working recovery you know.
Had the same problem, using an other fastboot (the one found on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067273) was the solution for me. I'm using a 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04.
hi
i try to install a custom firmware. i think i do many wrong things(i try many of the instructions). before i started the hdx had the latest firmware!
Now when i start the hdx7 it show "Kindle Fire"(gray), then the display is red for less then a second. after this it shows fastboot logo (also, if the cable is not connected)
On my WINDOWS 10 PC i have install "Minimal ADB and Fastboot". When i enter fastboot devices. i get this:
00D2070834110HS3 fastboot
any chance?
thx

Appears you are out of luck. Sorry ...
Hi everyone.
I had a working Lineage OS 14.1 installed on my yureka device.
I got the newer version TWRP and instead of going to install the latest update from COMMAND PROMPT , i used FLASFHFIRE and this corrupted my device.
My phone when switched OFF shows the battery indications of charging, when connected to charger.
But, doesn't start when switched ON and when connected to laptop, shows the YU logo and goes into FASTBOOT mode.
Code:
$ fastboot devices & $ fastboot -i 0x1ebf devices
detects the phone and gives this
4a252f6 fastboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But, any other FASTBOOT command to flash the boot or recovery fails with error , for the first run
Error 1 :
Code:
D:\RootingKit\platform-tools>fastboot flash boot 15_April_2018_Boot.img
target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
sending 'boot' (20480 KB)...
FAILED (data write failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 5.001s
And successive runs shows a different error
Error 2:
Code:
D:\RootingKit\platform-tools>fastboot flash boot 15_April_2018_Boot.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'boot' (20480 KB)...
FAILED (command write failed (No error))
finished. total time: 0.000s
Now, when i remove the cable and connect it back then again the first error message is observed.
I have tried all cables from different phones, samsung xperia yureka and others and not able to flash. Also, i have tried on different USB ports of my laptop and no SUCCESS.
Please help me out here.
I'm new at this so please bear with me, detailed explanations are most helpful.
My end goal is to edit the "build.prod" file in the /vendors directory without rooting the phone.
What steps have I taken so far:
On the Huawei Mate 10 Pro:
* Enabled Developer Options and set the following
- OEM Unlocking = enable
- USB debugging = enable
- verify apps over USB = disable
* Installed Andorid SDK and upaded my $PATH in windows appropriately.
* From powershell:
adb devices (device is found)
adb reboot bootloader (this puts the phone in "FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE")
fastboot boot c:\xxxxx\twrp-3.2.1-0-blanc.img
Downloading 'boot.img' OKAY [ 0.232s]
booting FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk c:\xxxxx\twrp-3.2.1-0-blanc.img
Sending 'recovery_ramdisk' (8622 KB) OKAY [ 0.195s]
Writing 'recovery_ramdisk' FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
fastboot boot c:\xxxxx\twrp_bla_alp_0.7.img
Downloading 'boot.img' OKAY [ 0.548s]

Sending 'recovery_ramdisk' (23542 KB) OKAY [ 0.599s]

This is where I obtained the two twrp files:
twrp.me/huawei/huaweimate10pro.html
mega.nz/#!Zhc3mboB!OpMvPzMUAGPehDiqihi_gu6LViEltVECSIR743-KgrI
What am I doing wrong? Detailed steps would be appreciated since I have a learning curve, thank you.

Installing TWRP is the easiest thing in the world. If you're having trouble, you don't know what you're doing. You lack experience. Take care, there's brick there's no way to recover

Check for all drivers and also is your bootloader unlocked cuz it says there remote: Command not allowed that probably means that something is probably blocking it on the phone side

Settings -> Developer options -> OEM unlocking (Allow the bootloader to be unlocked) -> checked on.
Am I missing something else?

look at this one
Toggling OEM unlocking in developer options is not enough, as that simply enables the ability to unlock your bootloader within fastboot. You need to retrieve a bootloader unlock code either directly from Huawei or a third party. I believe there is a guide for it in the guides sub-forum.

I did't need to download the tool but the second half the video answered my questions. I was able to obtain the 'key' from Huawei outlined in the video then in fastboot mode:
"adb oem unlock <the key from Huawei>"
And it unlocked my bootloader reformatting it. Now step 2 - editing the file.

Now that the boot loader is unlocked, I edited the /vendor/build.prop file using this method:
with phone in fastboot mode (from laptop computer connected to phone via USB , phone in developer mode)
adb reboot bootloader
Next step was to install TWRP:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk c:\xxxxx\twrp-3.2.1-0-blanc.img
fastboot reboot (immediately unplug phone from USB and hold down the high volume button until you see Huawei logo)
When in TWRP manually mount /vendor then reconnected device to USB connected to computer.
executed the following commands:
adb pull /vendor/build.prop C:\downloads\build.prop
/vendor/build.prop: 1 file pulled. 0.1 MB/s (4065 bytes in 0.026s)
adb push C:\downloads\build.prop /vendor/build.prop
C:\downloads\build.prop: 1 file pushed. 0.2 MB/s (4097 bytes in 0.018s)
it worked. I added the line "ro.config.hw_volte_dyn=false"
reboot and it came up with the feature.

No problem man
I know there's so many threads made but I'm hoping someone can help me with my particular solution.
So I'm using the tutorial by this site which has worked so far and I've completed Part 1 (Unlocking the Bootloader).
My issue is, when I type the command: fastboot boot <insert_name_of_TWRP_image_here>.img
I get the following message:
(base) [email protected] android % ./fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-blueline.img
Sending 'boot.img' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 0.287s]
Booting ERROR: usb_read failed with status e00002eb
FAILED (Status read failed (No such file or directory))
fastboot: error: Command failed
The .img file is definitely in the 'android' folder and I'm doing it correctly afaik because I've been able to unlock the Bootloader with no issue. Does anyone know what this message means?
Im definitely using the most up-to-date twrp file, I'm on a MacBook and my phone is a Pixel 3.
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
That might be a simple answer but try to add the full path of the file at the end of the command :
./fastboot boot [drag the file and drop it next to the word "boot" to have its full path written down without any typos]
Let me know what you get
