Para la guia en español, ve al final del post y haz click en el spoiler para verla.
THIS IS NOT FOR DROID TURBO I REPEAT DONT DO THIS FOR DROID TURBO
Hello guys, given the unlocked bootloader nature of our moto maxx's and moto turbos
and that some of us like to try and test firmware from different countries, i present you:
How to Flash Different Official Firmware on Moto Maxx/Turbo
Lets say you have the mexico, puerto rico or brasil firmware and want to try India Firmware
you have to get this on your PC:
Requisites:
RSD LITE
Android Studio or Minimal ADB and Fasboot (i personally recommend Minimal Adb and Fastboot because thats all we gonna need and its lighter than Android Studio 2 Mb vs 800Mb)
Official Firmware you want to flash
mFastboot (motorola Fastboot) i uploaded it for you: https://mega.co.nz/#!MVtz1DLb!CZTh_-wCl-qyta4Q0yZuPk_TB6Wq7Z4zElk6eArXrXk
RSD LITE only Works if you are going back to your Original Firmware
Installation:
1.- Install MAaF
Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot
2.- Install mFastboot
Copy the contents of mfastboot.zip and put them on Minimal ADB and Fastboot Folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Now you have working Fastboot AND mFastboot
3.- Copy Firmware
Copy the contents of your desired firmware to Minimal ADB and Fastboot Folder like this:
Now you are ready to flash!
First turn off your device and Put it on fastboot mode (Power and volume down for 2 seconds with your phone off)
4.- Get Detected
type
Code:
fastboot devices
on minimal adb to see if your pc detects your phone on fastboot mode
if you get some numbers and letters like the picture you are ready to go.
if not, you are missing drivers, looks for Motorola Device Manager
5.- Install
Copy and Paste these commands on Minimal ADB and Fastboot:
mfastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img
mfastboot flash radio radio.img
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear
mfastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and thats all, as easy as copy from here and paste on cmd.
when your phone finishes flashing just press enter to execute mfastboot reboot and you will boot the new firmware.
Tip:
you can remove/skip the line
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
if you want to keep your custom recovery like TWRP of CyanogenRecovery
remember:
Flashing another firmware will erase all your information
i know that you can flash without erasing anything but that causes many many errors and inestability i've seen it a lot of times so i encourage to erase everything every time you flash a different firmware, better start fresh.
FAQ
i have a Moto Maxx/Turbo and i want to flash Verizon (or another Firmware) will it work???
Flashing different quark phones firmware will work and boot, however getting signal its another history, all moto maxx are unlocked and there is no problem with them but if you flash droid turbo firmware on moto maxx you likely wont get any signal, see my thread for [Guide] Droid Turbo & Moto Maxx Carrier and Bootloader Compatibility
Why i can't just flash it using RSD LITE?
Because somehow it detects the firmware you are on, so you can only flash your original firmware
Why did you not include gpt.bin in the flashing???
Because if you were on kitkat, installed brasil or another firmware and take a OTA to lollipop your gpt.bin version will be greater than the one you'll try to flash and it will FAIL TO FLASH, dont worry just skip that line.
Why If i flashed India/Mexico/Brasil Firmware it says the name of my original Firmware???? did it failed??
Motorola Somehow stores in a partition your original firmware name, even if you flash another from another country it will say the name of the original firmware you had, dont worry it doesnt affect anything.
Can i go back to kitkat if i flashed the Mexico or Brasil Lollipop OTA???
Yes you can flash back to kitkat without risk of brick if you flashed the mexican or brasil OTA using the method of this thread.
Where i can get my official firmware???
you can get it in another thread i have: [All Quark][Official] Stock Firmware Moto Maxx Droid Turbo Moto Turbo
Im in mexico or brasil Lollipop how can i get root?
Just boot or flash TWRP and flash Super SU for android 5.0 by chainfire.
Protip: (my view on flashing soak test on locked devices)
DONT YOU EVER EVER EVER FLASH A SOAK TEST IF YOU HAVE LOCKED BOOTLOADER OR DONT WANT TO UNLOCK, GPT.BIN AND SOME OTHER BOOTLOADER FILES WILL BE UPDATED AND WILL FAIL IF YOU TRY TO FLASH BACK TO OLDER VERSIONS YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE FIRMWARE TO GET OFFICIALLY RELEASED AS A FULL (NOT OTA) AND EVEN THAT ITS NOT A GUARANTEE THAT YOU'LL HAVE YOUR PHONE BACK WORKING, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE, UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER ITS BEST TO TRY FIRMWARE.
this is a Q&A thread, so if you have any questions just post them here!
i took my time to upload and write this guide for you, so...

Guia En español, como instalar diferente FIrmware en tu Moto Maxx o Moto Turbo
NO HAGAS ESTO SI TIENES UN DROID TURBO REPITO NO HAGAS ESTO SI TIENES UN DROID TURBO
Hola amigos, teniendo en cuenta que nuestro telefono se puede desbloquear el bootloader
y que a algunos de nosotros nos gusta tener y probar firmware de otros paises les presento:
Como Instalar Otros Firmwares Oficiales en Moto Maxx/Turbo
Digamos que tienes tu moto maxx Mexico, puerto rico o brasil y quisieras probar el firmware de India
Tienes que tener esto en tu PC:
Requisitos:
RSD LITE
Android Studio or Minimal ADB and Fasboot (yo recomiendo Minimal Adb and Fastboot porque es todo lo que vamos a necesitar y es mas pesado que Android Studio 2 Mb vs 800Mb)
El Firmware Oficial que quieres Instalar (se le dice flashear)
mFastboot (motorola Fastboot) Lo subi para que lo descarguen de aqui: https://mega.co.nz/#!MVtz1DLb!CZTh_-wCl-qyta4Q0yZuPk_TB6Wq7Z4zElk6eArXrXk
RSD LITE Nada mas sirve para volver a tu firmware original, no para instalar otros, OJO
Instalacion:
1.- Instala MAaF
Instala Minimal ADB and Fastboot
2.- Install mFastboot
Copia los contenidos de mfastboot.zip y ponlos en la carpeta de Minimal ADB and Fastboot Folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Es todo lo que se necesita, ya tienes fastboot y mFastboot
3.- Copiar el Firmware
Copia el contenido del firmware que quieres instalar en la carpeta de Minimal ADB and Fastboot así:
Ya estas listo para Flashear!
Primero apaga tu telefono y ponlo en modo fastboot (presiona boton de encendido y volumen para abajo 2 segundos con el telefono apagado)
4.- Que se Detecte el Telefono
Escribe
Code:
fastboot devices
en minimal adb para ver si tu PC detecta el telefono en modo fastboot
si te salen algunos numeros y letras como la foto ya estas listo para flashear.
si no te salen, te faltan drivers, instala el Motorola Device Manager
5.- Instalar
Copia y pega estos comandos en Minimal ADB and Fastboot:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img
mfastboot flash radio radio.img
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear
mfastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
y eso es todo, copia de aqui y pega en la consola de comandos
cuando tu telefono termine de flashear solo presiona enter para ejecutar mfastboot reboot y se reiniciara con el nuevo firmware.
Tip:
puedes quitar la linea
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
si te quieres quedar con TWRP Recovery o la que tengas.
Recuerda:
Flashear otra información va a borrar toda tu información
se que se puede flashear sin borrar nada pero eso causa muchos errores e inestabilidad, lo he visto muchas veces, asi que yo recomiendo borrar todo cada vez que flasheas un firmware diferente, siempre es mejor empezar limpio
PREGUNTAS FRECUENTES
si tengo un moto maxx o moto turbo y quiero flashear el firmware de Verizon (o cualquier otro) funcionara?
Mira flashear diferentes firmwares de los moto maxx funcionaran y encenderan, pero tener señal es otra historia, todos los moto maxx estan desbloqueados y no hay problemas en poner otro firmware de otro pais de otro moto maxx pero si instalas el firmware del droid turbo en el moto maxx es probable que no tengas señal, para ver un cuadro de compatibilidad mira mi tema: [Guia] Droid Turbo & Moto Maxx compatibilidad de señal y desbloqueo de firmware
Porque no puedo flashear directo usando RSD LITE?
Porque de alguna forma RSD LITE detecta el firmware que estas o estabas, asi que solo puedes flashear tu firmware original usando rsd lite.
Por que no incluiste la parte gpt.bin en el flasheo???
Porque si estas en kitkat e instalaste brasil u otro firmware y tomaste la OTA para lollipop tu version de gpt.bin es mas nueva que la que intentas flashear y si incluyes esa version, fallara de flashear y te fallara tu telefono., no te preocupes solo borra esa linea.
Si Flashie el firmware de India/Mexico/Brasil sigue diciendo el nombre de mi Firmware original???? fallo??
Motorola de alguna forma guarda en una particion el nombre de tu firmware original, incluso si flasheas otra de otro pais, seguira diciendo el nombre del firmware original que tenias, no te preocupes, no afecta en nada.
Me puedo regresar a kitkat si flashie la OTA de Mexico o Brasil???
Si, puedes usar el método de este tema si te puedes regresar a kitkat sin el riesgo de brickeo si flasheaste la ota de mexico o brasil
Donde puedo sacar el firmware original de mi telefono???
Lo puedes obtener en este tema que tengo: [All Quark][Official] Stock Firmware Moto Maxx Droid Turbo Moto Turbo
Estoy en el firmware de mexico/brasil/india en lollipop, como puedo tener root??
solo inicia el recovery TWRP y descarga e instala Super SU para android 5.0 por chainfire.
tip: (mi punto de vista en flashear un soak test en un telefono con el bootloader bloqueado)
NUNCA NUNCA NUNCA NUNCA FLASHEES UN SOAK TEST SI TIENES EL BOOTLOADER BLOQUEADO O NO QUIERES DESBLOQUEAR EL BOOTLOADER, GPT.BIN Y OTROS ARCHIVOS DEL BOOTLOADER SE ACTUALIZAN Y FALLAN SI TRATAS DE FLASHEAR A VERSIONES MAS VIEJAS, TU TELEFONO SE JODERA Y TENDRAS QUE ESPERAR QUE EL FIRMWARE SALGA OFICIALMENTE COMPLETO (NO OTA) Y AUN ASI NO ES GARANTIA DE QUE TU TELEFONO VUELVA A FUNCIONAR, TEN CUIDADO CON LO QUE LE HACES A TU TELEFONO, ES MEJOR PROBAR FIRMWARE CON EL BOOTLOADER DESBLOQUEADO.
RECUERDA QUE ESTO ES XDA, SI TIENES PREGUNTAS HAZLO EN INGLES EN ESTE TEMA

As long as you have unlocked bootloader and only took the ota for lollipop it's ok

[Q] Not in FAQ - mind puzzler
After cable got unplugged while flashing moforoot. I have tried to put stock ROM back on through boot loader.
I get stuck on your step #4. Says devices not found.
I am able to see my phone though usb deview as fastbook quark S... or while in recovery mode as xt1254. (see attached)
I have uninstalled/reinstalled drivers mulitple times but it will not take to my phone/computer.
I have used USBDeview.
I have done partition clean.
I have wiped/factory reset
I have tried RSD Lite - which will not find the device
I have tried connecting it to PC through recovery mode.
I have tried everything. Still at a stand still. Help would be greatly appreciated. I would much rather donate someone on here than to pay 200$ to insurance a new phone.

You have a droid turbo you have to flash back using rsd lite, I believe the rsd version you have doesn't detect your phone, uninstall it and use the one on my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3063470, also download your phones firmware (verizon) and your phone will be detected and it will flash

If I am on 4.4.4 and I wish to flash the Indian 5.0.2 firmware, I need to include the following line:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but if I later want to go back to 4.4.4, I will need to skip flashing gpt.bin, correct?
I guess I want to verify that 1) flashing gpt.bin is necessary for Lollipop and 2) running an upgraded partition doesn't cause any problems for KitKat
Thanks!

About the RDS -> In the instraction i cant find the point where i have to flash it with RDS. Only adb. So I asked where have i to run RDS, what file to put there and flash?
So, if i have Br 5.0.2 i jast flash with RDS the file with Mex 5.0.2???

No, don't flash OTA just full firmware

problem
OK, I decided to flash the India Lollipop 5.02 to my Mexico Moto Maxx which still has 4.4.4. Bootloader unlocked, rooted, has TWRP recovery installed.
I started by copying and pasting the first command while in Fastboot. I get this error message. What am I doing wrong?

Grab the mfastboot.exe from the link in the first post and put it in the same directory as fastboot.exe.

OK, solved the problem. I copied and pasted all the India files to my regular ADB Android/SDK2/Platform Tools folder and did everything from there. I just removed the "m" from the front of all the fastboot commands as I was no longer using "Minimal" version.
I purposefully left out the recovery image command as I want to retain TWRP...
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
Phone is rebooting now. Wish me luck! :good:

Thanks. I thought it was the same program as in the links above, just a different place to download it. Then Chrome blocked it twice, so I had to use IE to download it.
Flashing everything again using mfastboot. Let's see if it works this time!
At least I'm doing it on my "spare" Moto Maxx first. Not that I want to ruin it, because I still want to sell it...

@Jaocagomez,
You say this:
Q: Why did you not include gpt.bin in the flashing???
A: Because if you were on kitkat, installed brasil or another firmware and take a OTA to lollipop your gpt.bin version will be greater than the one you'll try to flash and it will FAIL TO FLASH, dont worry just skip that line.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yet I see flash gpt.bin as your first command.
5.- Install
Copy and Paste these commands on Minimal ADB and Fastboot:
Quote:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img
mfastboot flash radio radio.img
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear
mfastboot reboot
and thats all, as easy as copy from here and paste on cmd.

Is that a mistake? And how do I fix my phone now?

Did you flash all 8 of the system chunks?
With your bootloader unlocked there should be almost no way to mess up the phone, so no need to panic at all.

Yeah, figured it out. I was taking the list too literally. There are 8 sparse chunks in the India image, and I only flashed 0-4. I feel stupid. :crying:
Rebooted and everything is fine. Now on India Lollipop 5.02!
Woo hoo! I now have a Moto Turob XT1225. But for some reason TWRP didn't get saved? when I go to "recovery" I get the Android with the open chest. Hmmm... guess I can reflash TWRP, right?
Now just have to do it with my main phone -- my Puerto Rico Moto Maxx -- I mean Moto Turbo.
Need to back up everything with Titanium Backup -- again -- and transfer off to my PC so I can restore all my apps...

The phone OS is restoring the factory recovery image each boot up because it detected the recovery image wasn't the factory image. If you flash TWRP and then root the phone it will no longer get overwritten as the rooting process disables this "feature".

OK, flashed TWRP and rooted.
I even made a TWRP backup with root, but for some reason I can't see the TWRP folder on my Mexico Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo with Lollipop. Even when I use TWRP file manager to copy the backup file to the Download folder, I can't see it there either. Very strange. I want to upload the TWRP folder with India Lollipop for others to use.
In my Puerto Rico 4.4.4 Moto Maxx I see ALL my folders, including TWRP.

Unlock the bootloader and I made it root. but I want to have the device in factory state "flash" and re-block the bootloader but it does not work with the MIFlash tool and the process only lasts a second without doing any effect.
I hope you can help me I'm not very expert in this.

I have already tried several fastboot rom and with all it is the same. I already installed all the drivers, I thought the problem was the tool my flash but manually doing the installation running the .bat is also the same does nothing.
I just want to have the device in factory state with the bootloader blocked and all official, I hope please help me thank you very much

Welcome to the community. I created a tool that may help. The .bat file included in the larger download has a revert to stock option. It will flash everything stock. After which you will need to lock the bootloader.

In CMD fastboot, flashing images, for example, fastboot flash boot_a bluetooth.img fastboot flash boot_b bluetooth.img ............ whith all images, I had to restore it yesterday like this, flashing one a one in CMD, if it gives a flashing critical error or similar flashes with boot_a and boot_b the image
Mi Flash tool it will not work
more than eight hours to get it back to test trial error, and previous Format Data in TWRP to then execute in cmd the flashing of images one by one
P.d. I do not advise you to block the bootloader again

but do not block the bootloader or you can see yourself in a very difficult restauration.

In order to use miflash tool and get back to stock you have to use this command line
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
, use the updated platform tools attached

dude i love you!!!! Very first time fastboot flashing unlock_critical worked!!!! Thanks man

I get "Flash bluetooth_a error" by trying to flash the stock firmware on MiFlash tool... What should I do? Could it be because I haven't typed "Fastboot flashing unlock_critical" when I unlocked the bootloader? (I had just typed "Fastboot oem unlock") If you think so I'll type this in adb prompt and then try again to flash the stock firmware

bootloader critico
eu falo portugues entao traduzam, a soluçao que eu achei para esse tipo de problema e o desbloqueio do bootloader em modo critico, basta executar o comando "fastboot flashing unlock_critical.l" e apos isso executar a ferramente de flash normalmente

I have similar problem also, phone stocked on opening screen. can't install factory ROM. following error appears "Flash bluetooth_a error" the problem phone is brand new, and not working since I have opened package.

Opa, de boa man? Então, esse código se usa no próprio MI Flash? Pode me dar um passo a passo, pois quando colo esse código no MI FLASH ele alega não encontrar o diretório

estou com o mesmo problema, meu mi a2, nao instala as atualizações de segurança, e não consigo dar flash na rom stock pelo mi flash e n sei o que faço

Same here bro, have you got the fix? I am stuck in a bootloop and have an unlocked bootloader. Please suggest me something, trying since 8 hours, haven't slept last night trying to fix my phone. When trying to flash the stock image with Xiaomi Flash Tool, it says, Flash bluetooth_a error and fails.

The same error and I can't find a solution, can someone help me?

Soft Bricked - "Fall-through from normal boot mode"

Hi all.
Today, after rebooting my X4, I got greeted by a black bootloader screen, saying the following (attached photo for more details):
Code:
AP Flastboot Flash Mode (Secure)
No bootable A/B slot
Failed to boot Linux, falling back to fastboot
Flastboot Reason: Fall-through from normal boot mode
Choosing to enter recovery mode does nothing. I have a "Factory" option, which probably does factory reset?
It may have something to do with Magisk uptade that gave a error and couldn't get installed a week ago. It's been at least a month since I last rebooted the phone, so it's hard to know.
my question is: As the system seems ok (I was using it normally before rebooting) could I fix it without flashing stock or factory resetting and losing my data? Like booting TWRP and restoring just the boot partition from a backup?
I would rather not have to set up the whole thing again if I don't need to

I suppose you have bootloader unlocked. Extract boot.img from fastboot ROM (https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/payton/official/RETAIL/) and flash it using this command: fastboot flash boot boot.img.

I know this thread is old, but I have the same exact problem and can't find any solution. What brought mine about was I restored my stock boot image from within Magisk and then I tried reinstalling Magisk afterwards without a reboot, but got an error. When I rebooted, the problem started. I can't possibly think of what is wrong. I tried switching slots, but it says my device doesn't support slots. Any idea what else I can try?

no meu moto g8 plus eu tinha perdido o root e tentei reinstalar a imagem pelo maginsk e ele não começou e depois apaguei várias coisas do sistema com o twrp e agora ele só dá as mesmas mensagens e não sei o que fazer sim, eu tentei de tudo, e ao ter que instalar uma rom aparece "destino relatado tamanho máximo de download de 805273600 bytes

Just something to add. Omitting GPT/bootloader may not protect you from a hard brick. Fastboot flashing older firmware onto your device may block flashing an old GPT/bootloader. If you do downgrade, please avoid using OTA updates. It appears it's not the downgrade, but rather using OTA updates that could lead to a hard brick.

Last time when I downgraded to nougat from oreo, I flashed them all still alive lol

Si ingreso los comandos de modem, no tendre problema de brick? Digo, ya que al no hacerlo, no tendria señal en el equipo.

Firmware
Hola me gustaría saber qué firmware debo descargar, mí modelo es el xt1800 RETAR. muchas gracias

Hola amigo, mira he visto 2 post tuyo, el de stock oreo 8.1 y este, pero en ambos me sucede el mismo problema de que me da error "Preflash validation failed" en los comandos "fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0 - flash oem oem.img" he probado varios firmware y siempre me da error en esos comandos, alguna sugerencia de que pueda ser? tengo el bootloader desbloqueado (o eso creo) ya que al momento de desbloquearlo me da "invalid boot state"

I'm not aware of any solutions that are free (unless there's a newer Oreo blankflash leaked?). It's likely you'll have to pay for a motherboard repair, either a JTAG flash or a motherboard replacement. Failing that, buy a new device.

[OP7P] [Final update: H33] Android 11/12 Firmware collection

The OnePlus 7 Pro is now officially EOL, which means going forward new vulnerabilities found in the firmware stay unpatched.
I present to you Android 11/12 firmware collection, to be flashed within fastbootd mode. For that you need a compatible recovery and your device needs to be unlocked.
For example the official Lineage OS recovery supports fastbootd.
Instructions using Lineage OS recovery (copied from the official Lineage OS Wiki)
1. Boot up LineageOS recovery (fastboot boot recovery.img)
2. Go to “Advanced” -> “Enter fastboot” (you will notice that the recovery switches to an orange color)
3. Connect your phone with your pc and execute the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash --slot=all abl abl.img
fastboot flash --slot=all aop aop.img
fastboot flash --slot=all bluetooth bluetooth.img
fastboot flash --slot=all cmnlib64 cmnlib64.img
fastboot flash --slot=all cmnlib cmnlib.img
fastboot flash --slot=all devcfg devcfg.img
fastboot flash --slot=all dsp dsp.img
fastboot flash --slot=all hyp hyp.img
fastboot flash --slot=all keymaster keymaster.img
fastboot flash --slot=all LOGO LOGO.img
fastboot flash --slot=all modem modem.img
fastboot flash --slot=all oem_stanvbk oem_stanvbk.img
fastboot flash --slot=all qupfw qupfw.img
fastboot flash --slot=all storsec storsec.img
fastboot flash --slot=all tz tz.img
fastboot flash --slot=all xbl_config xbl_config.img
fastboot flash --slot=all xbl xbl.img
fastboot reboot

make sure you use the latest fastboot, which can be downloaded here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
And make sure you are in fastbootd mode.

Using locked BL with Pixel Experience. Cannot flash from fastboot because "Download is not allowed on locked devices", but that's the way to upgrade firmware so.... Any suggestions?
Maybe a flashable zip just for flashing this from recovery?

sorry, you can't flash firmware from regular fastboot. you need to be in fastbootd mode. the official lineage os recovery supports it for example

Correct me if I'm wrong but...
A flashable zip would work under Pixel/Lineage/Modified recovery.
Because AFAIK the problem is when you modify system files, but not the other partitions that store the fw parts.

This is the 4th option I have tried and it doesn't work. I'm on unlocked OP 7Pro; it was already on Android 11 when I got it so I can't install TWRP. I was able to root and install LOS 18.1. I haven't been able to install any other ROMs. I can't even go back to stock now.... What am I missing?
I have already installed the latest drivers, software, etc. Most guides are for Android 10 which makes this more difficult but even the more recent guides fail to do anything except cause an occasional bootloop if they even do anything at all.
