Thank you very much for letting me get the required link. I just wanted to know what is 'a56dj', is it the code for HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle? How can I get stock boot image for my device, which I think is required while using "magisk" to get root?

adb can help.

If you know adb, then you can connect your device to the PC/Laptop and use the command ' adb reboot-bootloader' to get into fastboot mode. I am also trying to root my device. I will flash 'twrp' and then see what I can do for rooting. But, I have to be careful. I must be able to flash stock recovery.

Getting error in flashing TWRP.
Hi Op,
The command 'fastboot flash twrp-3.2.1-0-a56dj.img' is not working on my device in fastboot mode. It says ' unknown partition twrp-3.2.1-0-a56dj.img' in the second line it says : can not determine image filename for 'twrp-3.2.1-0-a56dj.img'. But I tested the same '.img' file by booting into the TWRP recovery on my mobile through the 'fastboot boot ................... ' command. What is the cause of the error. Plz help.

I am really happy as I could gain root access on my HTC through your valuable guidance.

Help required for busybox.
Hi OP,
Can you guide me to any forum/tutorial for dealing with problems in installing busybox ? Busybox installation fails repeatedly on my device -- through 'busybox installer' & flashing zip file through recovery-- both not successful. Is it because SeLinux enforcing? Do I have to go for S-Off, then only I can install busybox? Plz help.

ICS upgrade - boot loop - can't fix - bricked?

I have searched the forums, and I can not find the answer to my specific situation. Please forgive me if it is there somewhere. The story…….
- last working ROM was VIVO ICS official, RUU installed. (RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_HTC_WWE_4.10.405.1_Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266013_signed.exe). HBOOT was changed to 2.02 S-ON, bootloader locked. I unlocked via HTCdev. Before this I had IceColdSandwich 8.1.1, ENG Hboot S-OFF. I had originally used the GB downgrade ROM to S-OFF, and restored IceCold backup after this.
- I wanted to be S-OFF again, and so tried installing this zip using CWM Recovery, following the advice of tpbklake:
vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip Version 1.1
(from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756500&page=1)​
- now boot loop. I tried reinstalling other ROMs which I have successfully installed in the past (GB downgrade, stock ICS), and also restore various backups, but all result in boot loop (stuck on white HTC screen). Each time I would use CWM Recovery to clear dalvik, cache etc.
- I have now followed 'fix' instructions in that same thread, ie. :
1. Download the file lib.zip from here: http://bit.ly/PwK4BH
2. Unzip the lib.img and place it on your PC where you have fastboot.exe installed.
3. Boot into FASTBOOT USB mode and then enter the following command:
fastboot flash lib lib.img
4. Download the file format_lib_update.zip from here: http://bit.ly/RIpEUL
5. Copy it to your SD card.
6. Boot into recovery and then install format_lib_update.zip
7. While in recovery format the SYSTEM partition.
8. Then reinstall vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip​
But at step 3 I get the following:

OK, so what is the state of your HBOOT? Are you still HBOOT 2.02.0002 UNLOCKED?
When you are using the an unlocked HTC HBOOT and you flash a custom ROM in CWM, you then manually have to extract the boot.img file from that ROM's zip file and flash it manually in FASTBOOT USB mode. If you don't do that, you will get a boot loop.
What you need to do if you can still get into CWM and the bootloader is still UNLOCKED is reflash that ROM again and then flash the boot.img file in FASTBOOT mode and you should be ok.

Well then you can always relock the bootloader and then run the 4.10.405.1 RUU like you did originally. Then you can unlock the bootloader since you already have the unlock_code.bin file.

Once you get back to that point, unlock the bootloader, install ClockworkMod and then flash su-3.0.7-efghi.zip to root the official ROM. Then you should be able to rerun the downgrade process to get back to S-OFF.

Thanks very much. The stock ICS RUU has now installed successfully. I guess when I originally tried to reinstall it, I had left out the 'RELOCK' step, which is why it failed.
So now I am back to the start (stock ICS + HBOOT 2.02 S-ON), and want to get S-OFF and install your ROM zip. ,What I originally intended to do to get S-OFF was:
1) Unlock the bootloader, flash CWM Recovery, flash SU
2) Run downgrade GB RUU
3) S-off with Revolutionary
4) Install Blackrose HBOOT
5) Install your vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip
But step 2) failed with an unknown error. (I then tried to install your zip, and the rest is the sad history.....).
So what caused step 2 to fail? Did I need to relock the bootloader first?
Many thanks for your help, tpbklake

What is the status of your bootloader? Is it locked, unlocked or relocked? If it is locked you may have to answer n to is the phone rooted to give temp root. If not on page 76 of this post there is the same issue.

And fyi it will not change the h boot version, only the main ver which is reported at the end of the script.

One more thing, I would try flashing another ROM, i came from Niks Sense 4a rom, and the script worked with no issues.
Remember you will need to manually flash the boot.img of the rom as you are S-ON.

Open a command window and then type in the command:

If you get a # prompt then your ROM is rooted correctly and the script should run. If it doesn't then the ROM isn't properly rooted and the script will fail.

[Q] HELP - Bricked HTC One m7 (m7ul)

Hi,
I am after some help trying to get my HTC One back up and running.
I unlocked the bootloader using the htcdev website and installed cyanogen mod.
This was working fine for quite some time, until I recently wanted to download an app that was only available on stock phones.
I tried editing the /system/build.prop file to change the version to fool the app store but that didn't work.
Then when I restored my backup build.prop, I think I got the permissions wrong or something and the phone rebooted and went into a boot loop.
Then I followed a guide to get twrp on the device which worked.
Then I followed another guide attempting the restore the device to stock using the commands
Code:
fastboot oem lock
and
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
.
Now the phone is stuck in a boot loop. All I can do is hold down power and volume down to get to HBOOT and Fastboot. If I try and load recovery it reboots to the same menu.
What else can I try, or do I now have a new paperweight?
Thanks for any suggestions.
- gatamous
Also,
I have tried flashing the stock recovery but I get signature errors.
Code:
C:\Android\android-sdk-windows-r24.0.2\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery_2.24.980.2.img
target reported max download size of 1443966976 bytes
sending 'recovery' (8752 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.140s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.846s
OK,
Never mind.
I was unable to unlock my bootloader because I was typing fastboot flash unlock token Unlock_code.bin instead of unlocktoken being one word.
One I fixed that the twrp recovery started again.
Once I opened that the phone apeared on my PC as a storage device.
I copied a cyanogen mode zip to that directory then installed it via twrp.
Now I have cyanogenmod working again.
Yay - no longer a brick.
I guess I am out of luck with reverting it to stock if the RUU I need is not available for my carrier - is that right?
If so I'll stay on cyanogen mod and not worry about reverting to stock.
Next time I guess I'll take one of these nandroid backups while the phone is still stock. Hindsight.

i also have same poblem d415
me too...same problem D415 tmobile version
Does anyone with this problem have an lg d-415 and android with root? Because I think these commands in a terminal emulator or in an adb shell will fix fastboot:

Or if that doesn't work try this >> https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...ick-hard-bricked-l90-variants-t3173429/page24
I think this problem is caused by people not unlocking the bootloader.

PLEASE HELP. I'm getting the same error on my LG D415. They said on the other thread that this variant comes with the bootloader already unlocked but whenever i try to enter a command (e.g fastboot flash laf laf.img) or pretty much every command I enter (except fastboot getvar all and fastboot devices), I get the same message FAILED (remote: unknown command). My android is now stuck on the T-mobile logo whenever I try to power it up and I can't flash because download mode has been replaced with fastboot.

How did you enable fastboot, what commands did you run?

This problem is strange and I'm not sure if it has a solution.

Request OEM unlock Huawei P10

Hi all,
I have an incorrect firmware installed for my P10 and lots of things are not working (oreo 8.0). I want to re-flash or rollback to other firmwares but problem is I can't get into TWRP anymore. flashing it doesn't work and although I see in fastboot Phone Unlocked and FRP unlock i have the idea it has to do with the OEM unlock not working properly. It's also not available in the developer options. What;s exactly the link to huawei's page where you can request your phone unlock ID ?
Thanks

First of all, I've tried to update from Nougat to Orea via Blackballs method in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-plus/development/oreo-update-thread-l29c432-t3729907 with the firmware mentioned there
What is not working:
I've managed to do the first part (oreo install), but:
- SImcard has 'No service
- Can't flash TWRP
- Bootloader / phone locked in Fastboot
- I can't remember how I unlocked the P10 last year (I have a P10 L09-VTR, rebranded to L29-VTR and now 'working' on a VKY P10 plus rom)

Question Help installing LineageOS on Pixel 5a5g (Can't unlock)

Hey all, new poster but long time user of the site, just never needed an account until today lol. Anyways, just got a Pixel 5a5G that I am trying to install LineageOS on. I am following the instructions from here, and once I get to the point of flashing the vendor_boot partition, I receive this:
Code:
PS C:\Windows\system32> fastboot flash vendor_boot C:\Users\bobby\Downloads\vendor_boot.img
target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
sending 'vendor_bootb' (98304 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.225s]
writing 'vendor_bootb'...
FAILED (remote: Not allowed to flash (vendor_bootb))
finished. total time: 2.307s
When running fastboost unlock bootloader, I receive this:
Code:
PS C:\Windows\system32> fastboot flashing unlock
...
(bootloader) Device already unlocked
OKAY [ 0.055s]
finished. total time: 0.056s
I have reflashed the stock firmware with the Android Flashing Tool to 13.0.0, both keeping the bootloader locked and unlocked. I have tried unlocking and relocking the bootloader. I used the utility's "full-flash" feature to flash both partitions, all to no avail. Research on here seems to point that the bootloader is locked, but fastboot says it isn't, settings is greyed out saying the bootloader is already unlocked, and fastboot mode on the phone says Device state: unlocked.
Any ideas?
Did you remove your screenlock and Google account before flashing?

Yes. I've flashed from a factory install with no passcode or account ever set. Same issue
From the output it's trying to write vendor_bootb??? Some combination of this should fix it:
-Make sure to use platform tools r33.0.3, the latest r34 has at least one known problem with fastboot and I don't trust it
-If you're using powershell you have to run the command as .\fastboot flash you can only run fastboot flash if you are in cmd
-Make sure both slots are on latest February firmware (probably not really necessary but a last ditch effort)
