If you have your twrp 2.1 on pc, do fastboot install (see the twrp page for details) then adb push a rom to the prime and install it... you should be okay then....

When you plug the device into the pc, is it recovery or fastboot mode? Not sure it will show up if it is in a bootloop. Also if you are in recovery, you should be running adb from within the folder the exe file is in... basically open the folder, press and hold shift then rightclick and select open command prompt here then type adb devices and see what you get.

The adb commands won't work in fastboot... you need to use the fastboot commands.
From: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/93
Put the attached file in your nvflashpack folder where you see the fastboot.exe, this way you don't need to type paths. In the same window press and hold shift, rightclick in the window and select open command prompt here. Make sure the prime is already in fastboot mode.... now, copy the command below and rightclick in the command window and select paste (avoids typing mistakes) press enter and with any luck you should be able to boot to twrp recovery...
You will need adb and fastboot for this method. Download the above file, check the md5, rename to twrp.img and put the file in the same directory as your fastboot binary (unless you have /platform-tools in PATH then you can flash from anywhere). Turn off your device and boot to fastboot (power on while holding volume down, then select the usb icon and hit volume up to confirm). The device will now be in fastboot mode. Plug the device into your computer. Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.img
If you use the attached file you don't need the modified bootloader, you will have an older version of twrp but the whole point is to get you running first...
After you do this, boot into recovery, connect the prime to the PC and with the rom in the same folder as adb.exe, open a command window like before. Type adb devices, you should see the prime... then do adb push /the name of your rom.zip/ sdcard/
For the name of the rom, I usually right click the file, go to properties and copy the name.. (no spelling mistakes) again, right click in command window and paste and be sure to put .zip at the end. This should take about 5 minutes to complete. Then in recovery, go to install and you should be able to flash the rom....

You need to rename the file see the red text above. I would download nvflash from here.... http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/ the windows zip file.... unzip it and from within the window get your command prompt.... make sure you have the twrp file I attached earlier in the same folder... then copy fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.img and rightclick and paste into the command filed press enter..... it should install twrp....
now if I have misunderstood and you don't know how to get the prime into fastboot hold volume down and power, when you see the white text in the top left corner, press volume up then volume up to select fastboot of course the prime will be connected to the pc before this...

sent to Asus they want $220 to fix smh now trying to decide on paying or calling it a loss and buying the infinty.
If you can get to fastboot, then it's not a loss and it's recoverable.
Did you already send to Asus?

Hi guys. I have an HTC OX+... I tried to flash a rom but something went wrong and I erased everything... Now I managed to switch my phone on in fastboot and in recovery mode. How can I sort the problem out?

I assume your PC has all drivers installed so go to command prompt, there go to your folder where adb and fastboot are.
It should be like this, cd C:\folder_where_adb_is
Now go to recovery mode on the phone and search for Sideload, it can be in install zip from your recovery, click it when you found it.
Go to your Pc and put the ROM to the folder where adb and fastboot are.
Then make sure your phone says it's in adb sideload mode,
On the PC write
Code:
adb sideload file_name.zip
And wait until it's finished
Let's say that's done, but you can't boot, it keeps restarting forever.
In this case, go to your rom.zip open it on the PC and there will be a file called boot.img
Extract boot.img to your folder where fastboot and adb are.
Now on your phone, force it to close by holding power, open fastboot
Again open cmd on the PC and point it to your folder where fastboot and adb are.
Then write
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

file_name.zip is your ROM name, for example if you have arhd it can be ARHD_V8.zip or something, just see what name the zip file of your rom has
if this is not the case try
ADB usb before trying adb sideload

No, you have to write only "adb usb".
Then try "adb sideload yourrom.zip" again.
if that didn't work, then reboot into recovery and go to command prompt, and write
Code:
adb kill-server
adb usb
adb push yourromname.zip /sdcard
that should work if nothing else works. im having kinda the same issue right now :/

I just fixed this on my phone, now to to control panel - uninstall a program and delete htc sync manager (only sync manager, not the drivers)
Then try again, if nothing, go to here and install that.
If installed, go to fastboot mode, plug in your phone and in that program, when you open it, it says install drivers, flash rom and such...
Now on the right there is flash TWRP recovery, flash that, if your device is an LTE variant (ATT, Telus) install the ones for that and international for international version, make sure you got the correct one.
Then go to recovery, on the lower-right side there is an "advanced" button, hit that and there should be adb sideload somewhere, click that and swipe left to right to enable.
Go to your PC and repeat the sideloading steps as I said before.

If you do these steps exactly then your phone can enter the recovery normally and you can flash any stock or custom rom.
1- Download and install Minimal ADB and Fastboot from this link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24521665358595410
2- Download and install Flashtool drivers from this link: http://doomlord.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=Rmxhc2h0b29sLWRyaXZlcnMtMS41LTIwMTQwMzE4
Skip Step 2 if you already installed Flashtool Drivers that install with Flashtool if you have installed it.
3- Download the latest twrp recovery from this link: https://dl.twrp.me/sirius/twrp-3.0.2-0-sirius.img.html
4- Move the twrp recovery that you have downloaded in step 3 to this Path C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
5- Download this kernel from this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwn7bAJ-USZjZzg0Q2I2RWlWa1U/view?pref=2&pli=1
6- Extract it then you will find boot.img take this file and move it too to this Path C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
7- put your phone in fastboot mode by this way >> (Power off your phone completely then wait for 10 second then press and hold the volume up then connect your phone to the computer with usb cable while you are pressing and holding the volume up then the led will change it's color to blue.. that is the fastboot mode)
8- Now go to the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder in that path (C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot) Press shift button from keyboard then press right click form mouse while pressing the shift button you will find an option [Open command window here] Press it.
9- In the command window write this command exactly: fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-sirius.img
10- Then write this command after it: fastboot flash boot boot.img
11- After it flashed successfully reboot your phone by writing this command: fastboot reboot then unplug the usb from the phone
12- when the phone reboot and the sony logo appears keep pressing the volume up and down until the twrp recovery opens
13- Done
I wish that i had helped you. if you want any thing just ask me and i will answer.
Hello everyone, this is my first post on the forum.
I have a xiaomi redmi note 4 snapdragon with bootloader unlocked and when I try to install TWRP by ADB it installs it, but when I put the command "flashboot boot twrp.img" it stays in the fastboot logo.
Try using power and volume + to enter the recovery, but enter the original recovery
Can anyone help me? Thank you

What process do you follow?
I happened to do it, by copying the recovery file inside the platform tools folder.
Then inside the folder hold shift and right click. It will show an option to open command prompt window or open powershell window here. From there i wrote the commands, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img , and then manually booted to twrp by holding the vol up and power

I followed that process and it did not work, try two different versions of Twrp and it still did not work. I resigne myself, and try to install the RedWolf recovery with the same process, and this time it works! :fingers-crossed: I could finally install another rom. Thanks for the help
Same problem here, really strange. First time I've this kind of problem.
Edit : Ok, problem solved. There is 2 things to do in addition of the main installation process (found here : https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/mido/install#installing-a-custom-recovery-using-fastboot )
Firstly, you have to enable OEM Unlocking in Developer option menu. And not only enable USB Debugging. To enable it, click twice on the button "OEM Unlock" (if you click once, it will disable automatically when exiting Dev' menu).
Secondly, once you ran
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-x.x.x-x-mido.img
, you also have to ran
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-x.x.x-x-mido.img
in order to reboot in recovery mode. Otherwise default recovery will automatically erase and replace TWRP.
These 2 steps are quite never documented, but are mandatory for Mido (Redmi Note 4) !!

Ok I'm having this problem which I can't sort out. I had pixel experience 23/08019 rom installed in my phone and today I decided to install the latest miui stable eu 10.3.7.0 but in twrp it asked for my pin for decrypt. And at that time it accepted my password and I installed the rom with dfe 19.3 and then rebooted my device. It stuck on boot showing enter pin to continue which is kind of new to me, because it wasn't present before. Though I gave my pin there but the device showed wrong pin, retry. I didn't understand what the problem was. Now I tried to install the rom hoping maybe some fault during installation. So coming to twrp I saw that it's asking for pin and this time after I provided correct pin it's showing wrong pin decryption failed. Still ok for me. I thought that I will format my data thus removing the crap encryption. But formatting data showed unable to mount storage. Now no matter whatever I try it's showing the same. I don't seem to understand anything now.

seems like drivers aren't attached, please install MiFlashTool and from initial start it will give your prompt to install QUALCOM drivers inf, click install ALL, also install MI PC SUITE and make test connection
if you have done both! then simply command prompt in c drive wont show anything you must run command prompt from ADB folder!
