Hello guys,
I am using kenzo, and my bootloader is officially unlocked, today i tried flashing miui rom using miflash beta tool on my 32 bit system in fastboot mode, it shows flashing started and done in just 1-3 seconds and success message appears but when i flash using edl it successfully flashed.
Am i doing anything wrong? Or is there any other way of flash using fastboot mode (unlocked bootloader officially)?
Thanks in advance

You are not supposed to flash in fastboot mode!!!! For MiFlash to work, you need to get your phone into EDL (Emergency Download) Mode, the one in which the screen shows nothing and only the LED blinks in RED.
Connect your phone to PC in that EDL mode, and then open MiFlash. And as far as I remember, you need to have a 64-bit windows to run the latest MiFlash.
If u connected successfully, click on the Refresh button, and it will show something like COM1/COM2... etc. Then CLICK on Flash.
Have u tried with latest version of miflash tool..try it properly...?or u can flash it through cmd...just google it for the commands.. Try at ur own risk...I am happy with edl on miflash 15.something

I know that bro i am not asking for edl method, i am asking for fastboot method if there any, and as far as i know the latest miflash supports 32bit windows too and i am using it and flashed successfully using edl mode a lot of time

I don't think there is any other way other than the EDL method for flashing official ROMs.
I just wanted to know that is there any method that helps flashing roms using unlocked bootloader because there are lot of guides on internet saying flash rom with locked bootloader so i wanted to know is there a plus point in flashing roms with unlocked bootloader
If you have unlocked BL you can flash via twrp or fastboot or EDL, so three options...
EDL if others two dont work
Look fastboot & recovery both are there for a reason,
What i feel the priority of recovery is 1st for flashing almost anything
(If Modem/Firmware or anything else seems to have causing the problem)
USE fastboot & if you are hardbricked or can't figure out what you are missing only then head over for EDL.
But don't EDL>>Fastboot>>Recovery
Now to address your questions more specifically
Loked Bootloaders are good for Security but not friendly when you are a TWRP addict on the other hand Un-Loked Bootloaders puts the responsibility of security on your hands allowing you to modify whatever partitions or files you want to change on system.
With a loked bootloader you may flash a rom but sooner or later you will realize its better to have it unloked if u love to be a tinker.

If not fastboot mode then u can flash img file using orange fox twrp
Install fox twrp
Boot in fox recovery.
Select .img file
Select persist partition
And flash it
And reboot

I guess I can even without wifi.. I could use sim data to input a mi account.. But it would take some days. I was hoping for a quicker solution. If not then I will do as you say.

No permission need to apply.
Just Turn on sim data
. And Try to add account in developer option. See if can be successfully added in developer option > miunlock status.
Let me know if u getting 20091 error in developer option.
First I flashed persist with fastboot commands. Everything was successful but still the same problem. Then I installed OrangeFox TWRP with fastboot commands. Booted straight up to recovery and flashed the image as you said to persist partition. Selected to reboot to system and stays stucked at MI logo with no loading. Any ideas?

Don't know now since the phone is dead. I will have to flash a firmware. Will tell after I wake up phone with firmware.
Here is something new.. I transfered a .zip firmware to phone and tried to flash with ORangeFOx but nothing happens. I get an error. Checked and the phone can't see the Data partition. Should I flash firmware with edl mode?

Hi All,
I've been crawling the web the past few days to find a solution to my problem and unfortunately I didn't...
I have a Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC520TL MT6737M, I never did a custom OS installation before and didn't know anything about how phone works except the Linux kernel
After 2 or 3 weeks playing with custom rom and recovery, softbrick, fastboot and adb I finally successfully intalled a custom OS, I wanted lineageOS but only found an Himax image working properly (with bluetooth., etc) for my phone and TWRP as custom recovery.
I setted my parameters for all my applications and after inserting my SIM card the network was not working, I tried a factory reset from the phone and then I got stuck in twrp however the way I booted, I tried flashing the os again, the recovery again wiping/formatting data, I was still stuck in TWRP
Then I executed :
fastboot format:ext4 cache
fastboot format:ext4 boot
And now I can't boot nor in twrp nor in fastboot, I can't access the bootloader using power and volume up, and my phone bootloop
Is there a way to get to fastboot to reinstall the recovery and then from here the os or is my phone hardbricked with no future, ready for trash?
Thank you

You completely destroyed phone's boot-loader, what is comparable to a computer's BIOS.
What do you expect? IMO phone is case for the e-waste.

You NEVER format your boot partition as ext4 it's a raw boot.img which holds the kernel and ramdisk. You should really do research and follow instructions alittle better than that.. unfortunately I don't think your device can be saved and if you flashed aboot or sbl1/2/3 then your SOL
Thanks
Thank you for your answers!
I don't know why I did that (sometimes I have crazy bad ideas), I didn't see that on internet

That's okay! Please so make sure you do some research if your new to the custom OS scene.. it's always good to learn new things
maybe you can flash again like from the factory by using the default flashing and ROM tools.

If your in a Qualcomm chipset and you have an EDL programmer that works for your device I have custom tools in my cloud storage to create an EDL firmware if you don't ready have one. If your on MTK then there is Sugar MTK or SP flash tool that can work. If your an another one you may be out of luck as it seems nobody has been able to restore those chipsets
EDIT: I do have a whole zip file of programmers and one that I use for my LG Zone 2 (msm8x10.mbn)

the biggest problem is i have reset the phone and i am stuck with this message: "to start android enter your password". I entered the correct password but another message appears with a reset phone option.
Since the recovery.img file is no longer in the system, the phone keeps making this loop.

I then tried to restart my phone and ended up in bootloop.
Fastboot, stock recovery accessible.
Tried draining the battery and then charging it and booting but no luck.
Tried 'fastboot erase cache' from minimal adb but failed.
i DO NOT want to lose my data, Is there a way to get a backup of the internal storage pls help ASAP.
try flashing fastboot rom with miflash and at the bottom there is option SAVE USER DATA,
fastboot rom will be 3 gb to download, extract and then again extract until u see files,
take this folder, put it in C drive and give a smaller name.
now open mi flash, put device is Fastboot mode, and flash it with SAVE USER DATA option / don't LOCK the device (if your boot is unlocked)
remember, i personaly never tested this method, just read over the internet, perhaps you should see youtube videos also on this

Fastboot ROM can't be flashed without unlocking the bootloader. He has locked BL.
OP you can't do anything now sadly. All data will be wiped, and only way to reset phone is factory reset. Approach nearest service centre maybe they can help in some way.
I face same problem with OP. but I have unlocked bootloader. sadly I've doing wipe data from stock recovery but no luck.
not detected by mi pc suite. should I use miflash and download the full rom?

Soft bricked device can be recovered by simply fastboot.
But with locked bootloader, it is hard to recover your device because now it is hard bricked. You can do EDL Flashing but you need authorized mi account and certain tools to do that.
Your last resort for now is to bring your device to a Xiaomi certified service center, they have the right tools for the job.
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

First update your phone
Then download twrp from

Then adb reboot bootloader
Then fastboot flash recovery MotoGuamnaFixed2.img

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?
