I screwed up my phone lol, when I was updating it to oreo, I didn't know that the update.zip file was corrupted.
Now I'm stuck on
Error!
Func NO : 9 (hifi image)
Error NO : 1 (security image failed)
My version was...
STF-L09C185B170
What i tried to install that failed is...
STF-L09C185B361 (8.0.0.361)
I can still go to fastboot with everything unlocked, I can also flash a twrp recovery, but only by typing flash recovery_ramdisk(instead "recovery"), and when I try to do the update method by pressing vol up, vol down, and power, it doesnt take me to the update section, it just show me a crashed screen, then goes back to error message.
I also tried volup and power, I can't seem to go to twrp(I think booting to twrp and flashing zip files can be one of the only ways to fix this). Is there a way to go to twrp recovery using fastboot?
I've also tried flashing extracted files from update.app manually, it doesn't work. Some files can be flashed, while some can't.
Please I'm begging u guys, pls halp :crying:
also I guess the lesson here is: double check if your file is corrupted before installing/flashing
First, what is the way you took triying to update ?
(When done from system UI, official or FF, there is an integrity check of downloaded files.)
It seems you got oreo partition scheme during your failed update.
First see this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/fastboot-erecovery-recovery-upgrade-mode-t3543441
Try to restore using erecovery. (download and update firmware via wifi)
If not working you could use HWOTA8.
For launching recovery (stock or twrp) from bootloader type "fastboot reboot recovery".

I downloaded the oreo file using a browser and installed it with HWOTA, everything got inserted into my device, but the update failed and it gave me the error when I reboot. Also I can't get to erecovery or upgrade mode(that's the crashed screen), and "fastboot reboot recovery" doesn't work, it just show me a list of commands(which I assume happens if the command is invalid).
Ok I'll try HWOTA8, but I need to configure it so it recognizes my device, only my adb recognizes it.
Do 'fastboot devices work'?
Try english hwota8.

Nah, I figured it out, I backed up my adb folder and just merged hwota8 with it. Yes, it does work.
Btw how do I fully turn off the device? it just keeps bootlooping if i hold down the volup and power key, maybe this is the reason why I can't get into twrp recovery.
My only hope is that I can flash something on fastboot that will let me go to update mode(or erecovery) or twrp.
Like.. anything, even boot.img fails when I try to flash it. It must be stuck on oreo partition.
Also I did considered dc phoenix, but I don't have the money to pay for an account. Man, why is unbricking not free on huawei devices? That guy prolly made a fortune by now(for holding everyone with unbrick leverage lel), and it's a huge mistake for me to fiddle with a huawei device, it has so many problems with twrp and root.
If anyone can find a way to do unbrick it, like anything, that would be great.
So you didn't manage to use honor9's hwota8 ?

I used it but it didn't worked, I need to be either booted in the phone's os or inside twrp recovery bec. all of the commands executed by hwota8 are adb shell, not fastboot. Like I said, I only have access to fastboot, but I'll try again tomorrow. This is taking a lot of my time and I'm having panic attacks that I may not be able to fix this lol. Oh yeah, thanks for helping out.
Note: Since Oreo, partitions names have changed ; "recovery" changed to "recovery_ramdisk" now.
Use this command to flash recovery: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk YourStockOrTwrpRecovery.img
Use oreo stock recovery or oreo twrp.
But I thought with hwotas available for honor 9 you started from bootloader...

I already did that, read the OP. Like I said, I can't boot into any recovery, not twrp not stock, not even upgrade mode, nothing.
As for hwota8, nope, it doesnt start from the bootloader, it's already trying to use the adb shell commands.
Anyway I'm taking all chances, I'm trying to research oreo's partitions names, and I'm also trying to find out how to bypass this message "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)" bec. it might be the only way I can salvage this phone.
edit: ok im trying hwota8 again, maybe i missed something, and yes it has fastboot, sorry i was rushing but im trying again now, i'll post my progress later

Hi,
I have bricked my Honor 5x after flashing custom recovery. This these the steps I followed:
1) Unlocked the bootloader
2) Flashed TWRP recovery
3) Flashed root
4) Tried to update OTA
Now the phone is stuck at boot screen. I can enter recovery by pressing volume down and power, but now is stock recovery. And I don't know what to do.
Can someone help me?
OK u can't OTA update with twrp AND U SHOULD try adb flashing twrp through fastboot and maybe restoring a nandroid if u have one if not there's some u can download around here
Hey, my phone is bricked too. How did you manage to flash adb during twrp. How did you restore the backup and where did you get it from?
Or could someone please explain to me how I can get back to stock. I saw one thread with the .app file, but there you had to go the setting or something, which I can't do.
I have twrp installed and I have the L21 version.
Ok, I figured it out. I took the backup and the instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/unrooted-stock-rom-t3308902

I was able to get my phone back to stock using the update.app file and the Huawei Update Extractor
Download stock firmware and extract the update.app file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/repository-honor-5x-file-depot-t3328288
Download Huawei Update Extractor
http://d-h.st/wwfQ
Use the Huawei Update Extractor to open the update.app file and extract system.img, Cust.img, boot.img, recovery.img
Copy the extracted files to your adb folder
Connect the phone to the PC in fastboot mode, to do this power off the phone hold Volume down and insert a usb cable connected to the PC
Type these commands on ADB:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot reboot
After that you should be back on stock firmware
I tried to do that too. But the problem was that my adb didn't recognize my phone. Of course I had everything installed.
When I unlocked the bootloader earlier, it worked. But there I had to enable USB debugging. When my phone was broke, I couldn't enable it. Maybe that's why?
However, my phone is working right now, so thanks anyway.
fixed

I have a practically dead honor 5x, flashed a L-24 firmware on L-22. TWRP doesnt let me do anything, no touch functions work so i cannot restore my back up.
Fastboot commands on format /data and flash cust cust.img fail with the error "Remote: Command not allowed", bootloader is unlocked, pls help.....I need to flash back the default cust.img to get it back to normal
SOLVED: Downloaded the official firmware, placed the "dload" folder which contains the update.app in the root of the sd card, went into download mode on phone (vol up + vol dow + power) and the system installed the firmware automatically.....booted back into the stock system now, next will reflash TWRP and restore back up

Yes, it is working perfectly.
Hi, sorry for hijacking a thread but I thought it'd be better than making a new one.
I did pretty much the same as the OP, unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP recovery, rooted and then stupidly tried to do an official update on the phone (I believe it was kiw-l21c432b140)
The phone is just now stuck at the boot screen, I can get into fastboot mode but cannot use ADB, says device isn't found no matter what I try. I also tried putting stock firmware on the SD card and going into download mode (EMUI) but it just says software install failed.. Any help appreciated, only got the phone today and have spent longer trying to fix it than I have using it..
Thanks!

As long as you are able to boot into fastboot you still have hope
Are you able to get into TWRP? (Power + Vol up) If yes, download the L-21 stock rom in the file repository thread and flash it. In all likelihood, that will solve any corruption of system files. If not, read on.
Did you check if you have installed the ADB drivers? I am assuming it should have been installed considering you flashed TWRP, but better to check and reinstall. Device not found is usually a driver error. Alternatively, you can install HiSync, it refreshes and replaces the drivers needed for Honor 5X. Further to installing that, try adb fastboot commands and flash the stock recovery using the steps in this post:

When I do power and vol up I get EMUI recovery, not TWRP I put the stock rom on the SD card and tried to install it and it just says "Software install failed" and the only option is to shut the phone down again.
I had all the ADB drivers installed, will reinstall it all and see if it helps. When I run adb now and use the "adb devices" command it just says "List of devices attached" and doesn't show anything..

Oh then you have stock recovery, are you using the update.app provided by Huawei? Or using any ROMs/images posted here? It is possible that you may have a corrupted download, look up the Huawei site for downloads in the support section for your region and download the official update.app, try with that

It wasn't stock recovery before, after the phone updated it went back to stock and wouldn't boot. I downloaded the firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/stock-kiw-l24-l21-t3312684 and that's what I try to install through recovery and it says there's an error, a load of other texts flashes up before it says error but it's too quick to read. When I have better internet I'll re-download it in case it was corrupt. Thanks for your help, hopefully I can get it fixed as I only just got this to replace my old phone. Would be a shame to spend the money on it and have no use from the device.. Just wish the computer would detect through adb as I can get into fastboot easily enough.

Sure, we all help each other
BTW, just to be sure, you using the single "Update.app" file, that runs into a couple of gigs or the extracted one? You can't flash extracted Update.app through stock recovery.
HiSync (the official Huawei tool) also provides an option to recover the phone, tried that?

Oops! I am no techie, so am at the end of my wits, but thing I do suspect is a corrupted download, so if you can try downloading the file again from a stable connection and try is all I can think of. I've had this corrupted file thing quite a few times, so suggesting.
Hello, fellow Android hackers.
Short: I am trying to install CM on a L21, but fail booting into TWRP (getting only stock recovery).
What I did, working with a brand-new phone:
Unlock bootloader.
Flash TWRP 3.0.2.
Boot to TWRP. It worked.
Try flashing CM, which failed due to some failed assert. Googling revealed a thread on these forums which suggested I had to do a stock update to Marshmallow first.
Downloaded the update through EMUI's updater.
The updater booted to TWRP which aborted the installation because of a failed zip signature check.
I disabled signature checking and ran the installation again. It succeeded.
Tried to directly install CM over it. I got the error message stating I couldn't flash on top of incompatible data.
At this point, I probably should just have wiped system and flash CM, but for some reason I decided to boot to stock.
Here is where it all seems to have gone wrong.
Try to flash and boot to TWRP, like in steps 13 to 18.
Push the B340 UPDATE.APP to /sdcard/dload.
Start the phone using power + vol down + vol up.
I have verified that the phone is on B340 and the builtin updater won't find further updates.
(I have repeated this step and the following ones countless times.)
Boot to bootloader and flash TWRP. Yes, the command succeeds.
Code:
…$ sudo fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi.img
target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes
sending 'recovery' (45202 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.418s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.641s]
finished. total time: 2.059s
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery # boots to stock recovery
Boot to bootloader and flash TWRP.
Hold power + vol up
I read that the duration holding the keys matters, so I tried this very often, but I always got to one of two different stock recoveries.
Factory reset and cache wipe with one of the two stock recoveries.
I also considered crushing the phone on the wall on multiple occasions, but then decided it would not help me with my goal.
Okay.
L21 with B340, how u boot to TWRP? -_-
Also, the two stock recoveries have the menu options "Download latest version and recovery, Reboot, Shutdown" and "Reboot, Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe cache partition".
I humbly thank everyone in advance who might have some contributions to share.
ok . as i understand ,
First Charge Ur Phone Up To 50%+
Second : Go Back To Stock L 5.0.1
Third : download The latest Nightly Version OF CM + Recovery Rom | Recovey
Forth : Flash Recovery Only Throw ADB if u got any error please Attach here if success Go to step 5
Fifth : Shut Down And HOLD Volume-up + Power As soon u see Honor logo Release Power But Keep Volume Rocked Pressed !
Last : Install The Cm After U already copy To SD Card .
Gd Luck ! .
i will presume that you are on stock recovery,
now go to honor 5x repository and download b320 firmware
now place it in dload folder and flash
now boot to bootlader and try flashing twrp
then do not directly boot to revovery
just do fastboot reboot
then now do adb reboot recovery
youl be with twrp and forst things first ,compulsarily do a backup
then now assuming that you have transfered layest cm to sd card,
first goto wipe , then select all except internal and external sd cards , then wipe
now install, you should be good to go,
i had your issue when i was on b34p, but b320 is a great base and supports all custom roms..try it
(I am sorry for not answering sooner, but I have a lot on my plate right now. :/ )
Thanks for the replies.

2: As I understood it I only had to upgrade to M in the first place to be able to install CM. The downgrade will not undo whatever happened there?
3: I am not sure that I understand what you're trying to say, but I know of no way to flash recoveries via ADB. The point is that, as posted in the OP, flash via fastboot allegedly succeeds and as soon as I boot to the recovery, I'm back to stock.

Thanks. I actually tried the dload method with B140 after writing this post, but it doesn't seem to work—same with B330 (the repo doesn't contain a B320 for L21). As far as I can tell, the dload install appears pretends to work fine: I'm getting a successful archive verification, an install meter and no error message. But the OS is not replaced.
I am uncertain if I need an actual microSD card—different sources seem to suggest different things here—but I generally would assume that, if there was no valid image in the right place, I would be getting an error message.
I am fine with whatever suggestion that wouldn't result in a brick. Data loss is fine, there's nothing on it.
A dumb question but do you disconnect the phone from PC or Mac after flashing twrp, firing fastboot reboot and quickly press power and vol up to boot to twrp.
If you already did that, try unlocking command once more and then try flashing it...
You can also try
Fastboot boot twrp_kiwi.img
To boot directly to twrp without flashing.
Hope any of it works.

I love you. I had totally forgotten about that. Using the boot command I managed to install CM, but I still cannot replace the stock recovery. Maybe I'll try letting CM write its own recovery with its next update, but I guess I'll leave it at that. The only downside is that my dad now needs me for doing updates. :/
Thanks very much.

how to boot Honor 5x into TWRP
I know this is an old post, but since I tried for nearly a week to get my Honor 5x to boot in TWRP when pushing volume up + power button, I just wanted to post how I finally got it working, just in case anyone else should have the same problem...
1. First, I downloaded the latest stock rom. On my Honor 5x Android 5 (Lollipop) was installed, so I downloaded an Android 6 (marshmallow) stock rom. Make sure to get the correct version for your region (e.g. C432 for Europe). I found the correct rom file by simply googeling. If you are in a boot loop or do not have a working android on your phone, read instructions below.
2. I un-zipped the rom file and copied the update.app to my sd card to folder "dload"
3. I booted regularly into Android and started the update installation from the settings, where I could select option to install from SD card.
4. once that was done, i enabled USB debugging in developer tools and booted into TWRP from ADB with command
fastboot boot twrp-3.1.0-0-kiwi.img
5. Then, I installed SuperSu (SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip)
6. Then, I flahed TWRP directly FROM TWRP. To do so, I clicked "Install" button, clicked "Install Image" and then selected TWRP file (which i copied to my SD card earlier). BE CAREFUL TO FLASH TWRP as Revovery (NOT boot). Actually, I first flashed twrp-3.0.0-0-kiwi.img, then directly after flashed twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi.img and then I flashed twrp-3.0.0-1-kiwi.img (you see I was kind of desperate...). After that, from TWRP I booted into bootloader and again flashed twrp image from PC using adb:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-kiwi.img
7. from ADB, I again booted into TWRP
fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-0-kiwi.img
8. ... where I once more installed TWRP.
After that I clicked reboot and selected to boot into Recovery. Then it finally worked.
After endless tries to get my phone to boot into TWRP when pushing volume up and power button, I am not sure which of the above steps made the difference. I think the important part is to update to the latest android version.
BTW: my first problem was I bricked my phone by trying to install lineageos from TWRP 3.1.1.1 and was in an endless bootloop. Here is how I got a regular android running:
I booted into bootloader (power + vol DOWN) and flashed the following files from adb (i got the files by extracting an android stock rom with Huawei Update Extractor (HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.3.zip)):
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
Hope this helps...
It's better to post in a new thread, that will be more helpful for you
Pretty inexperienced with Andriod after taking the leap from IOS.
Rooted my honor 7 using Kingoroot everything worked fine then I let me phones battery die whilst at work came home to charge it up and now it's stuck in a boot loop/honor screen.
So far I have tried to let it automatically download the ROM using the EMUI recovery that fails completely.
I tried using HiSuite to recover that gets to 90% then gets stuck.
Finally I have tried every single honor 7 ROM i can find in an attempt to install via SD card every time I have it tells me version check fail.
Only had the phone couple of months anything I can do to recover it/repair?
Many thanks
Markus
did you unlock bootloader before rooting? you could use adb to flash stock rom....
next time dont follow youtube guides titled "how to root any android phone", on android theres way bigger change to bootloop or brick your device while messing with root, custom recovery and custom roms than on iOS. in this thread you will have all info beginner needs about honor 7 rooting, fixing and customizing: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/general/guide-beginners-how-to-root-update-fix-t3255452

Thanks for the reply and no I did not as I wasn't aware it needed to be done however in fastboot it says Phone Unlocked and the fastboot oem get-bootinfo also says (bootloader) unlocked.
Yet I am still unable to to flash as Command not allowed is appearing when I try.
I have tried following the guide to aquire my unlock password from the huawei site how ever it tells me my details i.e serial number and imei are incorrect.
Really appreciate the help , thank you

i think rooting app unlocked it wrong(caused bootloop) and messed something up....
Get the B380 update from Honor site and do a forced update ( if you've already been on B380).
It should work after that.

Tried that get a version check fail.
btw did you install xposed? it doesnt work on emui... just bootloops
What version are you current on? B380?
I assume that this KingoRoot thing messed up your SYSTEM Partition and thats why it bootloops. To fix this do this:
If you're on B380, go and get the B380 full update from the official Honor site and extract it so that you can see the UPDATE.APP file.
Then get the Huawei Update extractor from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
Open it and extract the SYSTEM.img and the BOOT.img
If you are familiar with adb do this: (if not, ask what to do)
copy SYSTEM.img to your adb folder. Connect your phone in fastboot mode, and enter in cmd: "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
and after its done:
"fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img" (everything without quotation marks obviously)
It will take some time, be patient. If it's done just write: fastboot reboot
and lets hope it works for you !

In the link you will find Stock EMUI 8 Ramdisk, Recovery and System, as well as TWRP and a Kernel that fixes the possibility of losing the capacitive buttons. Download them into a folder on the root of your PC (for example C:\Temp)
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/88l72rypm6u1u94/AADtPyvsIFhyBl1mcJ5raTBZa?dl=0
I don't know what caused your boot to disappear, mine disappeared when i tried to unroot it from within SuperSU app (Big Mistake), but let's not be drastic just yet. You need Fastboot and ADB on your PC, turn off your phone, hold Volume - and connect the USB cable from the PC to the device. You should enter Fastboot mode. I hope your device is FRP unlocked as well.
Open a command line and input "fastboot devices" to make sure your device is connected
First let's try restoring Ramdisk, TWRP and Kernel:
Run "fastboot flash ramdisk STF-L09_ramdisk.img", then "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk stf_twrp_oreo.img" and finally "fastboot flash kernel B360_fix_kernel.img"
After that just run "fastboot reboot" and see if it boots or not... This should take care of your problem, if not, let's go drastic:
Turn off the device and plug it in fastboot mode again onto your PC.
On the command line run "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img" (this will flash stock recovery), and "fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img" (this will flash your system partition, in small bathes at a time, fresh.)
After that, just "fastboot reboot" and it should boot to your system (and without a factory reset!) If it bootloops for some reason, turn off the device, boot into stock recovery and wipe cache (or do a full factory reset, but that should not be necessary i think...)
Hope all this helps!

Hi sir I tried, everything flashes ok but when I reboot it continue bootloops until it enter into erecovery. I tried to wipe data but when I press the button to wipe cache after it displays a red '!' into the circle and the same for the wiping data.
sorry for my English, how can I solve ..? FRP was written "FRP unlock"

Everything flashes ok, no errors? What did you flash? Everything?
eRecovery is to rescue the device, that won't work with Oreo (at least not for me). The stock recovery you enter it by keeping the Vol + pressed and power up the device (just as TWRP), you can enter it? And it gives error when wiping the cache?

What ROM exactly were you using? OldDroid's B360? Or some other?
I were using the stock emui8 I don't know the build number because I can't get it. My region is italy

The only explanation i see is that the EMUI8 you were using has something different from the one in OldDroid's thread... On mine i did exactly what i told you, those files are the ones i used on mine as well.
Right now you have everything stock right? Can you try to flash one of the Treble Roms? Either AOSP or RR-O?
You just have to download them (they're a system.img file) and run the "fastboot flash system system.img" command, go to recovery and factory reset. Your device should boot.
If everything fails, the only hope i see if to go to OldDroid's thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/stf-l09c432-how-to-install-oreo-h9-t3707729 and download the files, and follow the instructions on the OP to rollback to Nougat.

I think the link you probided is a fake bull$hiting guide :
1) it states european C432 but provided two of the three files of a russian C10 firmware.
2) almost sure. the file provided won't flash the dload way as stated in guide.

OK, so you were on oreo, and now the nougat's service repair dload firmware are not working.
I'll start by asking:
-how do you get bricked, what did you do just before ?
Try this tool for honor 9:

(pda link to russian tool)
Same here, I just have access to eRecovery and fastboot mode
I was on the last version (oreo) and I wanted root my phone so I have unlock bootloader and install twrp but after twrp install in the wipe my internal stockage was empty and when I wanted install supersu I have some error like failed to mount: data, failed to mount: cache, ect..
but I still had access to my phone
Except that I had to go through the eRecovery every time so I tried to look at the side of my errors mount and I tried unbrick with the software Huawei Multi Tool and images of a rom stock publish on the forum except that I had even more access to my phone but I no longer have the errors mount.. With Huawei Multi Tool I have try the recovery option but nothing, now I don't know what make
Hi everyone I tried all the tools given into this thread but no success, it seems like a big lost challenge
Tell us more..
so you were on oreo or nougat before brick ?
and now the nougat's service repair dload firmware are not working ?
how do you get bricked, what did you do just before ?
Yeah never see a sht like that, I guess we have to send our phones to a huawei repair center..
Ok you were on oreo emui8.
I recently bought an unlocked Moto G Play 2021 with the intent of learning how to flash custom rom's etc. The steps I've done so far are below.
Went to Motorola's site and got the code to unlock the bootloader
Waited for the "OEM Unlock" button to be available in the Developer Options menu.
Followed the directions Here to try to get an unofficial version of TWRP installed.
when I type fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img Using the vbmeta.img from the link above, I get some kind of anti-rollback error and can't boot to recovery.img
So far, what I've found says I need to be on Android 10 for this to work but I can't find a stock rom of Android 10 for this device. Electimon posts AOSP builds for this phone Here so I assume there's a way to get this to work, I just don't know what it is and I've gone through these threads a few times now and can't piece it together. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Additionally, thanks Electimon for doing those AOSP builds.
Try to download Miracle Thunder Modified (Withouth Box) like there are other tools, but if not, just try to root. kind of for you to root, download the TWRP app and install or use Flashify to flash img using root

I'm not sure entirely what happened, but after I used the TWRP app my phone bricked and I had to use the Lenovo rescue app on my pc to factory reset it.
First update your phone
Then download twrp from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...st-port-but-everything-works-amazing.4330775/
Then adb reboot bootloader
Then fastboot flash recovery MotoGuamnaFixed2.img
then you have twrp installed then you can go thru the steps at

Thank you for the response!
I made sure my phone was on wi-fi and checked for updates. I then rebooted to fastboot and flashed recovery to the MotoGuamnaFixed2.img. I still got a blank screen when I tried to reboot to recovery. I then rebooted to fastboot manually and did
fastboot flash recovery_a MotoGuamnaFixed2.img
fastboot flash recovery_b MotoGuamnaFixed2.img
It said ok both times, and when I try to reboot to recovery, I get a blank screen that I can't interact with. Pressing the power and volume buttons does nothing. Rebooting and letting the phone go through the boot process, to include waiting for the warning about the unlocked bootloader to go away results in a blank screen.
I also tried booting to fastboot and selecting "Recovery Mode" from the fastboot menu. Same result. That being said, I followed the instructions in the second link anyway, which are
fastboot -w
fastboot update (filename).zip
Now my phone has a blank screen I cannot interact with, but when I type "adb devices" I see the phone. Typing "adb shell ls -l" shows there is definitely a file structure there.
Just download the rom for the version that your device is unzip it and manual flash each one to the correct spot except recovery flash the twrp and then reboot and let me know look at flash file.xml to see where to flash each IMG and bin to make shur you download your rom and not another one for the same device but different carrier what it sounds like to me is happening is you downloaded the wrong ROM when you tried to do a force update
Send me a screenshot of your about device screen please I might need to make a change to a few things to get it working
I'm stuck in a boot loop right now. WIll the output from fastboot getvar work?
What carrier do you have
Download your rom first then follow my last post to get it back out of a bootloop

It's an unlocked phone, no carrier, no SIM. I did the factory reset with the Lenovo rescue tool and sent you the screen shot of the device info page.
Update - svoc has spent a crap ton of his personal time trying to help me with this. I've learned a bunch and wanted to publicly acknowledge his willingness to go way above and beyond trying to get this working.
I don't understand why I can't get twrp to boot I'm not for shut what the problem is if any one has any idea please let me and I will try
Big thanks to svoc for all the phone calls and troubleshooting my device, that is apparently possessed by at least 3 demons and a donkey. There are two links below. The first is the link to the intstructions that worked.
The second is to the compressed file that gave me a degoogled android. It's really, really basic and you'll have to side load the app store of your choice onto the device but it works.
*NOTE* I have not used a sim card or tested the cellular capability. If you do the things below and it doesn't work, reboot to bootloader and flash the radio.img with the one from your stock rom, which can be obtained from lolinet.
Any custom ROMs out there for Moto g play 2021 (guamna)?
Can't find any custom ROMs for this device. I guess it is too early. I'll probably have to get another phone. Can't even find a twrp for it. New to this. Any suggestions?
