Ohh & Something to help....
Only for very old Samsung phones, especially I9082, and posted for someone who had asked for it.
Fastboot commands are:
Code:
fastboot erase system
Or
Code:
fastboot format system
Code:
fastboot erase boot
Or
Code:
fastboot format boot
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Or
Code:
fastboot format cache
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
This is what will erase user data
Or
Code:
fastboot format userdata
This is what formats userdata (for decryption)
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
First try this command and install the recovery again with this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Or
Code:
fastboot format recovery
Try this and then install recovery again with this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
If stuck and unable to boot to recovery, use the following command:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery twrp.img
To flash a boot file:
Code:
fastboot flash boot bootimage.img
Copy the
Code:
boot.img
file from ROM zip and flash that
What do BL, AP, CP, CSC mean?
CSC (Consumer Software Customization): It is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and APN setting.
PIT (Partition Information Table): You only need it if you screw up your partition table or if the firmware specifically requires it because of a change in the partition table layout.
BL (Bootloader): As its name implies, this option is used to flash the Bootloader of the device.
AP (Application Processor or PDA): Also known as Android Partition.
CP (Core Processor): We call it Modem.
Update
Updated the OP with March release updates.
Now the files are available on AFH as well as foogledrive.

Actually fastboot commands are not valid for Samsung phones. I had posted it just aa a complete guide for all commands.
EDL is Emergency Download Mode, which is equivalent to Samsung's Download Mode.

Personally, the fastboot commands you posted were quite confusing to me (first time having a Samsung device). That gave me a false hope that the M30 could be rooted using Fastboot. The same way I do all the time on Pixel device.
As fastboot doesn't work on Samsung devices, maybe you should delete that post? This is not a critique, I just wonder about the purpose of the info which cannot be applied.

Fastboot mode? Samsung only, right? Only Download and Recovery modes are there. From recovery mode, reboot to Download/EDL. The colorful screen is your download mode.

I was messing with my old tracfone and trying to install a custom ROM on it. I pressed wipe on TWRP and selected advance wipe and selected everything for factory defaults. After this, I restarted and my phone is stuck on the LG logo and won't go past it. I can't even get back into TWRP by spamming the volume up button. I also have a backup image, but what's the point if I can't access TWRP? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Wipe doesn't restore factory defaults, it removes everything. If you wiped system partition there's no Android on your phone, thus no system to boot. If that's the case, you can try to reflash twrp or install original firmware

If so, you need a PC, if it's Windows then download this tool - it's a system-wide fastboot that lets you flash software on your phone. It should also download drivers.
If everything goes OK, boot your phone into bootloader (you need to find the right key combination to do that, could be (phone off) power button+ volume down held for about 5-10 seconds, but I don't really know how it's like with this particular phone).
Go to the folder where you've got your TWRP, hold shift and press right mouse button. From context menu choose "open command window here"
In command window enter:
Code:
fastboot devices
if it returns your phones serial number it's OK, if it doesn't - you probably don't have proper drivers so look for them
If everything is OK enter:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery your-twrp-image-name.img
If this step is OK you can reboot:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
In the bootloader there should be an option to enter recovery mode which is now TWRP. From there you can flash some ROM.
Alternatively you can get ffactory firmware and flash it with fastboot (that's actually a better option to start with).
I hope that helps

Thanks for the help, but unfortunately, I think that the phone is junk. My phone can't get into boot-loader for whatever reason, and I heard some people post that the phone was designed to make the boot-loader non-accessible. I already tried to flash it with ADB while it starts up, but no device is detected (no USB debugging I guess). So unless I can flash the phone while It's on the LG logo, I can't do nothing.
I am very new to this, I rooted my Moto G4 and now I need to download SUHide in order to play Pokemon Go. When I try to enter recovery via my fastboot/abd folder I get a < waiting for any device > message. When I hold down the power + volume down button my phone just turns on as normal without entering bootloader even though my bootloader is unlocked. I tried downloading an app that loads recovery for me but when I tried that I got a "no command" screen with a little green robot.
From what I've read, it's possible I didn't flash my trwp properly? I don't know how this is possible since I just rooted my phone. I would appreciate some help, I'm afraid to take any random guesses at the risk of ruining my phone. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious or not giving enough info, I'm not very tech savvy.

Try power plus volume up button to go to fastboot mode.
If it not working then connect your android to pc and enable adb. Type "adb devices" enter then type "adb reboot bootloader" and enter. It boots your android in fastboot mode.
If adb commands not working then install adb and fastboot drivers and try again.

In most devices, volume up + power boots up the recovery options, volume down + power boots the device into fastboot mode (volume buttons first plus power, pressing power button first would boot the device normally).

How did you install the custom recovery? Try flashing the recovery.img again (I'm guessing, since you have root, that you did not "flash" (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) TWRP but just "boot" (fastboot boot recovery.img) it and installed SuperSU).

Okay, so that did work, and I was able to enter fastboot mode. However, once I scrolled down to "recovery mode" and tried to enter, I got the same "no command" screen.

I used the official moto g4 root guide on this website to root my phone and I'm pretty sure I booted, not flashed, the recovery img (mine is named twrp-3.0.2-0-athene). So, I tried using the command you provided to flash the recovery img and I got a < waiting for any device > message in the command prompt. My phone is plugged in and my recovery img is in the adb / fastboot folder. Any idea what this means? Thank you for the help guys
edit: If it helps to know this, my phone has usb debugging enabled and it is recognized by my pc. I type adb devices and my moto g4 serial number does indeed show up.

If you are trying to flash twrp recovery on your android then rename your twrp to recovery.
Boot your android in fastboot mode,
Navigate to folder that you have recovery. Press shift and right click and click on open command here and type "fastboot devices" and enter
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It flash your recovery to your android.

Did all that, getting:
(bootloader) slot-count: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
Also, per the suggestion of other users on these forums, I tried to hold down power and press volume up during the "no command" screen after attempting to enter recovery. That sent me into Android Recovery but it's not the twrp platform I used when originally rooting my phone.
How did you unlock the bootloader? have you tried: fastboot oem unlock?
You need to "allow oem unlocking" on developer options (which I guess you already did). Then reboot in bootloader: (a) adb reboot bootloader. In fastboot, you need to unlock the bootloader first: (b) fastboot oem unlock (or unlock-go). Then you can try to flash that recovery.img: (c) fastboot flash recovery "name of the file.img"
edit: fastboot oem unlock restores the device to factory settings. You need to configure and enable again "usb debugging" and "oem unlocking" (which are disabled by default). You can then proceed to fastboot flash
hello
Yesterday my WileyFox Spark+ came in, which is still equipped with COS13.0.1, based on Android 6.0.1 and encrypted.
For disable encryption,i had followed the following process:
- factory reset whith sitting and recovery mode,
but without result because turned out the phone was encrypted with a startup pattern already from the box.
As I was unable to root my device, I have used adb and fastboot to install twrp with the commands :
adb reboot-recovery
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Then I press to volume down button to display the recovery menu but, instead of displaying the menu, the device boot again and again until I'm tired and I release the button. Then the phone boot normaly on Android...
Any idea how i should progress further?
Thanks for the help.

I am unable to boot into recovery when the power is off with volume down + power on, it just boots in to bootloader.
I always have to connect to pc and do a fastboot reboot recovery.
Is there any other way or am I doing something wrong?
I have the same problem. I have the nord2 (eu) version and I have installed the Indian version of Android 12. After this procedure I can't enter fastboot mode either with the key combination or with the adb commands. Furthermore, the possibility to install packages has disappeared from the bootloader, I can only delete the data or restart the smartphone.
