You can try flashing with fastboot.exe but I suspect that flashing will fail.
If so you're only option maybe is force emergency download mode (edl)
Code:
fastboor oem blackflash
And use a blankflash to recover device.
lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.
lolinet mirrors - powered by h5ai

Don't waste your time, simply re-flash phone's Stock ROM
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot sideload
adb sideload <STOCK-ROM.zip>

device not showing in adb devices command
device only visible in fastboot devices command

Have you USB-debugging enabled in device's Android Settings -> Developer options and rebooted device afterwards?

no i Recently disable usb debugging because i was not able to use wifi usb tethering
what should i do now ?

IDK

can anyone solve this problem on this entire forum

Fastboot.exe is a CLI, hence nothing gets opened. You run Fastboot commands either in Windows PowerShell or in Windows Command prompt.
To apply any Fastboot commands you typically run
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot devices
fastboot <subcommand>
adb reboot

i thought i need to specifically open fastboot.exe but i have alread done in windows powershell and cmd but no response
adb devices show's no device

My bad: Haven't kept in mind that ADB got disabled by you.
The
Code:
fastboot reboot
command will help you to boot your device normally to OS. On entering the reboot command you’ll be booting the system partition of your device.

already done fastboot reboot device reboot's into fatboot mode again

Have neither experienced it, nor heard or read it, that
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot reboot
doesn't work.

code:
1 fastboot devices
2 fastboot reboot
1 code works fine shows device
2 code also works fine but my device dosen't boot normally into os it takes me back to my first error image as shown in the thread

S-ON = No Brick.
Recovery and "img files" Don't need root.
Nothing is called adb fastboot
Connect phone in fastboot mode (Power + Volume Down > Fastboot)
Then use the "fastboot devices" command.
Flash twrp 2.8.6 http://dl.twrp.me/enrc2b/twrp-2.8.6.0-enrc2b.img
Flash a compatible kernel.
Device should be "fixed"
Search for "RUU enrc2b" . RUU depends on your CID.

Hahaahahhaa Perfect description.
@OP:
ADB and Fastboot are two different things.
You DO NOT NEED ADB.
DO NOT WRITE ADB
Write "fastboot devices" directly, and your device will show up.
And please do read all the links lloir provided.

XT1022: Failed to validate system image. Connect USB Cable. Device Locked - Status 0

Hello Guys,
Laid my hands on a spare XT1022 from my friend that was supposedly junk for him because of the following reason. The phone starts of directly in fastboot mode and there's no sign of a normal startup. Although i've connected the USB cable and it shows up as "Motorola ADB Device" under Device Manager, still the fastboot shows Connect USB Cable error. The exact scenario is depicted in a similar pic below :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
.
The phone is fully stock and was treated to this message upon a random reboot. I can get this back to life by flashing TWRP & Custom ROM's but for that first of all need to unlock the bootloader, for which the data cable needs to be shown as connected. USB Debugging wasn't enabled.
Would be highly obliged if someone could shed some light in the right direction and help out on this
Regards.
@lost101, Need your expert advice on this. Others, please do help.
'USB Debugging' most likely does not need to be enabled with Condor handsets in order to unlock Bootloader. That is a security feature that only appeared with later devices.
The USB issue seems obviously driver-related. The easiest solution would be to boot into a Linux Live CD (such as Ubuntu), and gain fastboot access that way - drivers are not needed in Linux. Then fastboot flash the latest XT1022 factory firmware image.
*Note: In linux, use the 'sudo' command prefix:
sudo fastboot devices​

The result was exactly the same which i get in Windows command prompt. The list of devices shows a blank. I've installed the drivers and rechecked them, the device is listed as "Motorola ADB Interface" under Device Manager :
and; shows as Fastboot condor S in hardware eject box.
I fail to understand why it isn't showing as connected only in the fastboot menu. Fastboot reason is given as "fall through from not charger boot mode". The device shows only the fastboot screen by default. If any other option like recovery etc is selected, it throws the error message as bootup failed. Scenario is exactly of the same pic which was posted in #1.
Please suggest the next step.
@BBThumbHealer - Starting to look like Bootloader corruption. An unbrick method could be applied to potentially restore a functional Bootloader. One exists for Falcon 5.1 - unsure about Condor at this time.
I would try to eliminate the USB cable as the problem by trying alternatives.

I was stucked in the same problem yesterday. I succeeded and recovered my Moto E to live again.
As in the screenshot you posted. Your bootloader is locked. You need to unloack the bootloader. To do so follow the steps in the link given below :
https://accounts.motorola.com/ssoau...ct/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b
Login or create your Moto ID and follow the steps as described.
After that you'll have to flash the firmware again. hope this helps.

wrong, its a qualcomm
So can this device be rooted or not? Correct replies only would be great.
I am actively working towards it. The phone is def TCL....a lot of the package-names give that away. I installed a new Linux distro yesterday in hopes of getting to the bootloader. There might be an added advantage to loading a DSU in Developer Opyions...will update ASAP.

I can't get the DSU loader to work on mine. It downlaods and says it's ready so I tap on the PROCEED button or whatever and it just reboots back to my Android 11 Stock over and over.
(
I know little about Android development but I have the device it's not my daily driver so I can test stuff on it and if it goes south it's no big deal. Btw the revvl 4+ is the Qualcomm model, the 4 is the mediatek soc.

I selected the first DSu , let it install and now the bootloader is corrupt. ( which im pretty sure means its inoperable) so the verity is definitly disabled. I can load into fastboot and baout to test the fastboot oem unlock.

I was bale to let it install. You gotta downgrade to the first firmware it came with and let the DSU install. My dm-verity is corrupted which is, Im pretty sure disabled, and im able to boot into fastboot

Unlock DeVops by selecting build number 5 or 6 times. get usb debugging and fastboot oem unlock. if it is not there go to about phone and select the first DSU. itll reboot and say your dm-verity is corrupted.

I tried this with no luck.
OEM unlock and usb debugging is on.
adb reboot fastboot
This brings me to fastbootd which seems to be the only place for running fastboot commands. I tried going to recovery but theres no option to go to fastboot. I think mine is running anewer version.
fastboot oem unlock gives this error:
FAILED (remote: Command not supported in default implementation)
fastboot flashing unlock and unlock_critical gives this error:
FAILED (remote: Unrecognized command flashing unlock_critical)
Any thoughts or ideas?

Sony Xperia L3 root phone.

I have a Sony Xperia L3 and i have tried to root but it seems impossible. How can i do it? I have tried to root the phone with Sony Xperia C Root but it could not do it. Kingo Root is the same, fail. Also tried dr.fone but it did not support l3.
You must unlock the bootloader and then follow this steps: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
I have check and my phone can be unlocked, i have downloaded fastboot but i do not understand what to do next. I got to step 8 https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/ i can see my phone in the command line, what to do next?
I cannot find the fastboot icon under devices and printers
I got to https://mobilewithdrivers.com/unlock-bootloader/sony-xperia-l3-32gb-3gb-ram i got it into fastboot mode but no commands works, fastboot flashing unlock, fastboot oem unlock. Unknown command, command not allowed.
Should i have a unlock code? I only see Xpeira L2 on the site for getting a unlock code, no L3 https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-xperia-device/
It seems to be something wrong in developer mode, oem do not turn on, no green, it is just off.

What's phone's Android version? Android 8.1 ? If so, look inside here:

Thanks. I cannot unlock the bootloader to try. I do not get the oem under development mode to work. It is only off. I can't get it on to unlock the bootloader.
Why not contact Sony ?

I tried the guide https://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-unlock-bootloader-android-device.htm i get it to fastboot and the light is blue but i only get. Failed remote: Command not allowed, Finished. total times 0.045s.
What Fastboot command did you run?
BTW: Install the suitable Fastboot driver provided by Sony, if not already done yet.
I tried
Use the Command Prompt window to retrieve your unlock key as described by your manufacturer. If you own a Motorola device run the command: fastboot oem get_unlock_data, HTC run the command: fastboot oem get_identifier_token.
Select the token which is spit out by the Command Prompt window and copy and paste it into the applicable box of the form on your manufacturer's website without any spaces.
And: fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x07B7BFEA7AC879F0 https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-sony-xperia-x-f5121f5122/

How can I clone the firmware of two Android phones with identical hardware?

I have two Huawei Mate 10 Pro (BLA-L29 / C432) bought new in 2018. The first one has EMUI 12 on it for about 6 months and works without problems, the second one does a boot loop ("Your device has failed verification ...") after the update from EMUI 9 to EMUI 10 few days ago. The update process brought no errors. Everything worked without problems until the final reboot after checking the flashed firmware. All attempts (eRecovery, HiSuite Recovery, etc.) without success. The phone can only be brought into Fastboot/Resque Mode and is recognized as a "HI3650" USB device by the PC. That's all.
Question: How can I mirror (in a image file) the partitions/firmware on the good phone and put them on the faulty one (ADB, Fastboot, /dload, etc.)? In short, how can I clone the first one firmware on the second one. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your answer but i don't want a full backup/image of the phone/system. I also don't want to flash a image file of the firmware from the net resp. downloaded from Huawei HiSuite repository. I want to make a firmware (only!) image file of the good one and put/flash this (with ADB or placing the file in /dload directory on one USB-Stick etc.) on the bad one. In Linux (i have Mint21/Win11 on the same Laptop) the problem is the same. I have no resp. less access to the faulty device (compared to Windows - that have the Huawei USB-drivers from HiSuite). I must install the (Linux) USB emulators/drivers to access the device (with ADB or Fastboot over the USB port) or insert a USB-Stick with the image file in /dload directory or ... try to boot from the Phone-USB with LinuxLive, Android and so on. That's all that i can imagine me at this moment. I wrote to Huawei about this incident too, because it's not normal to have such problems by upgrading. We will see what they do/propose.
My understanding of a firmware is that it consists of the 2 parts "kernel" and "system", that these 2 components get provided as a flashable .IMG-file, that these 2 .IMG-files typically get flashed via Fastboot what requires an unlocked bootloader.
Hence you as 1st step extract from working device both the boot and the system partition by means of ADB, then you as 2nd step flash the 2 IMG-files via Fastboot onto non-working device.
Code examples:
Code:
@echo off
echo connect working phone with PC
pause
adb devices
adb exec-out "cat <system partition> 2>/dev/null" > C:\system.img
echo connect not working phone with PC
pause
adb devices
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot flash system C:\system.img
fastboot reboot
exit
or
Code:
@echo off
echo connect working phone with PC
pause
adb devices
adb exec-out "dd if=<system partition> bs=64k 2>/dev/null" > C:\system.img
echo connect not working phone with PC
pause
adb devices
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot flash system C:\system.img
fastboot reboot
exit
Exact! That's the idea! Thanks for the examples! At the moment I am waiting for the reaction from Huawei and then I will try exactly what you wrote above. However, I don't have to save and flash all the partitions (also recovery, data, etc. too - in the order of the ROM xml-file, i.e. servicefile.xml flashfile.xml or so) to have a clone (of the device in its original state)? In addition, I have to see why "adb devices" doesn't show me anything (on both, Win11/Mint21) even though I installed android studio/sdk and the usb-drivers from the SDK. ADB starts the daemon, but after that (second "adb devices" command) it shows "List of devices..." and nothing below. I have to try this with the good phone to see if he does the same. Finally... when I know more I'll come back with feedback. Thanks again!
