RSD lite says failed to switch to fastboot mode.. - Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers

anyone have this problem with the moto z3 play that RSD Lite says "the phone failed to switch to fastboot mode."? im in bootloader/fastboot mode already and trying to flash a 9.0 factory firmware since the phone isn't detecting my sim card...
sad part is its a brand new phone but voided the warranty when I unlocked the bootloader straight out the box...

You need to start it with the phone booted into the rom, it will reboot into fastboot for you, and your phone will be recognized. Kinda defeats the purpose, but that's how it works for some reason.

[HELP] Unbrick RAZR i X890

Hi people, I have a big problem with my friend's Razr i, I was trying to root it, but i didn't want to unlock my bootloader so tried several methods but not a single one worked, So i tried the one for unlocked bootloaders and ended up bricking my device, Now It's stuck on fastboot mode.
I've tried to flash some brazilian firmwares via RSD lite, but it get stuck on "6/9 flashing radio_signed" SO PLEASE SOMEONE GUIDE ME TO THE SOLUTION WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
PS: Also tried to flash an argentinian Firmware but it didn't even let me start flashing bringing the error "Faled flashing process. Unknown fastboot command. (getvar)"
PS2: Also tried the eternityprj Alternate method without RSD, and it gets stuck on flashing recovery... and it also prompts some errors you can see in the attached file.
HELP ME PLEASE AS I SAID THE RAZR IS A FRIEND'S PHONE NOT MINE, I NEED TO SAVE IT.

your secure level was to high for a non bootloader method and if you done a method with a unlocked bootloader and your bootloader was locked thats bad.
unlock your bootloader >>WARRANTY VOID<< install cwm and use any backup. or flash the 39 gb fw but i think you have yet to unlokc the bootloader to safe it.. and be patient dont try to much stuff if your battery goes low you need a factory adapter or something like this to charge ur razr i if the battery is down.
regards hope you get it waorking again
I solved my problem this way

Hello good morning
I brick 2 phones trying to get one of them and in the process did fail at 2, how the recovery?
1. - Use RSD Lite version 6.1.4
2. - Use 1 extra phone (htc wildfire root and backup CWMR in case of failure)
3. - Use a GB retail rom (CFC_8.7.1I-110_IFW-39_S7_UCASMI01E1017.0R_USASMIICSRTGB_P042_A005_S1FF_fb.xml)
4. - The phone to unbrick, put fastboot mode, switching on via the power button and vol (-) until the fastboot mode screen read "fastboot reason:" if it does not, re-try until there is
5. should not say "fastboot reason: flash failure, or anything else xxxxxx xxxx xxxxx ............"
6. - Boot rsd lite 6.1.4, select retail rom, and indicate that only "unzip" connects your motorola razr I, and it connects back to the other phone (in my case htc wildfire), which has a debug mode enabled.
7. - Note, that in the window of the Rsd Lite in row 1, the Razr I phone is detected, then you start flashing in RSD Lite 6.1.4, see screenshot of your razr I to see that data is being sent, (the other phone should not be affected and only serves as a decoy to usb drivers, Rsd lite at least do not damage to my phone)
8. - Remember flashing erase the card was in your internal Razr I therefore will lose programs, photos or music you had or downloaded to the SD or internal virtual
9. - Flashing can stop and have to do everything again, but remember that no fastboot mode screen should read:
"fastboot reason: flash failure or otherwise else xxxxxx xxxxxxx ......." must be clean that is just:
"fastboot reason: "
luck : Good:
Warning, do not take responsibility for any damage to your cell involved in the process, ......... the lure of the phone can be found on youtube and just suits the way because of my need to get my phone ........ in no way am programmer or software developer, for which only comment what turned out ok to me
excuse my bad English

Could PM Me with the instructions in spanish, there are some things that i do not understand in your english
Tried to use your method but RSD lite got stuck on "4/11 erase userdata" and the phone says "program dummy sp block for userdata" I don't thin I understood well the part of the second phone, does it have to be on, i mean normal on, or does it have to be in flashmode aswell?

[Q] 1092 TWRP on 5.0 bootloop, stuck in recovery [SOLVED]

Hi,
I was on 5.0, running stock recovery and rooted. Today, installed TWRP for 5.0 on my device. I tried to flash the droid command center widget on my phone usng twrp, and it failed. I also hit the fix permissions option. After that the phone does not boot up, simply flashes the unlocked bootloader sign and shows the moto boot animation for a second or two before shutting down.
I can boot into recovery, and the computer detects the phone. But adb doesn't detect the device. I have the 1092 5.0 OTA on my computer and saved it on the phone in an attempt to flash it thru TWRP, but that failed with the message shown in the img attached. I also tried flashing stock 4.4.4, but that gave an error "Updating partition details" failed.
Can someone help me get back into my phone? :crying: ADB doesn't seem to be detecting my phone, else I'd have tried to install a rom via fastboot.
I have multi-tool v4.1 installed, would I be able to flash a rom (stock unrooted and full wipe is perfectly fine too) via that considering adb does not detect my phone, but the computer does?
Well, that looks annoying.
I've found myself in similar situations when I've accidentally flashed something I shouldn't have. The good news is that if you can boot to recovery you can also probably boot to the bootloader and use fastboot.
Have you tried wiping everything and going back to stock? It's time consuming but at least you'll end up with a working phone.
I had to do this when I put the wrong recovery on a phone and it mangled partitions. Device wouldn't boot.
There are instructions for the moto x here

Thanks for the reply! Color me silly, but would I be able to use fastboot given that when I run adb the 'adb devices' command does not show my phone?

Because fastboot mode can start on your device even before Android loads (and can even run when Android isn't installed at all), fastboot mode is useful for updating the firmware quickly, without having to use a recovery mode.
Adb relies on android booting and usb debugging being enabled and the computer being authorized for debugging (L feature). Fastboot does not. Try booting into the bootloader and then run "fastboot devices" . Mine shows up. I suspect yours will too. If it doesn't then I'm out of my depth here.

Ah yes. For some reason, my fastboot file had gotten deleted from the folder and so the command didn't run. Everything went smooth once I noticed that. Had to downgrade to 4.4.4., but w/e. Thanks @oldcynic

Please Help_After OTA Update Xiaomi Mi A2 died

On Saturday appeared an OTA update to do on my mi A2 but after installed and restarting it died. It does not enter recovery mode and the screen is always on with android one bootscreen logo.
PS: I never flash the phone and i never change anyting in the system of the phone.
The only response that i have in the phone is enter in it Fastboot menu. I read some threads and untill now i cant fix my phone.
I will try to explain what i do:
I've tried using this tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/mi-a2-toolkit-unlock-bootloader-root-t3834585.
I try option 3 (Unbrick/Revert to Stock/Force update and the program tell me to unlock the bootloader.
When i tried to unlock bootloader by option 1 and then 1, 2 and 3 ( Unlock flashing critical, unlock OEM , unlock flashing ) the programs says: Failed Unlock is not allowed.
Then i try the response 9 to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/help/impossible-flashing-xiaomi-mi-a2-t3837565 to try unlocked the bootloader
But i have the same response ( Flashing Unlock is not allowed )
I read and i try but i cant unbrick my phone, someone can help?? Thanks
We are in the same boat buddy, the same thing happened to the phone of my wife.
It *sounds* like the update failed, and normally that would mean it would switch the slot back to the one that was working and boot that.
But you've tried a bunch of options from some tool, I've no idea what it did, as the tool doesn't tell you what commands it's doing.
I'd suggest to go to fastboot and see if you can tell which slot is active, then switch it to the other slot, then do fastboot reboot and cross your fingers
I have the same problem (for other reasons, but exactly the same problem). You can also try "fastboot oem edl", but it did not work for me, so I suppose you have little chance for it to work.
I have been searching and it looks like there are some "deep flash cables" that can make the phone enter edl mode to flash it using mi flash tool. Maybe these could work for us. There is apparently other way to enter edl mode, but it requires opening the phone (that I do not want to do) to short two test points.
I cant enter revorymode only fastboot mode. But when in fastbootmode my connected pc cant even find the phone. Im going to return the phone.
I have the same problem, I have this edl cable but so far no luck.
Do not realy k Ow how to use.
Are you sure it was the OTA update that bricked your phone? That Treble system isn't just there for the kicks, its there to prevent serious issues like these.
I'm stucked on fastboot, I don't want to open my phone. Could anyone help us? I already tried a lot of things, my computer doesn't recognize my mobile when is on fastboot mode. I already tried to install a lot of drivers or try to use differents adbs.

Stuck in Fastboot

Ok..so here's the situation. I was going to install a new ROM ( my son got a new phone a iphone ) but any ways. As I was in TWRP i did everything we all normally do but the phone died mid flashing GAPPS. when i went to pulg the phone to the charger and restart the phone i see that it started to boot up the it jumped straight to FASTBOOT and it's stuck. I can toggle through fastboot but that is it. when i go to restart it will show the boot animation but then goes to fast boot. it wont go to TWRP nothing. I've combed XDA and found the multi tool but don't think that is working or i might be using it wrong. the computer doesn't recognize the phone. im trying to get this phone back up and going and give to my daughter . any help is greatly appreciated. thank you in advacne.
Here's what I'm talking about just in case someone asks

How...I can't get my computer to recognize the phone... When I plug it in it doesn't read it...I should have the drivers already installed...adb push right.... I'll search for the command to see if it finds the phone
adb never works in fastboot mode. You'll have to use the fastboot command.
On the PC, try
fastboot devices
to see whether the phone is available. If not, check your drivers - I believe that fastboot uses a different USB driver.
With fastboot, you can't install zip-files, only image files. So download the stock factory image, not the OTA.

Hello, recently i had some issues with my phone, and i thougt. well i should do a factory reset, just in case, but when i did the reset, the phone was in the same condition as before, so my next step was to reflash the stock rom, im not in custom ones btw, and my phone is still locked, long story short, with every program comand, and even oficial software, my phone refuses conection, with android cmd tools, its always stuck forever in a line called, sendig partition (45kb) and thats all it can be there for hours, the phone is just doing nothing, also the booloader oficial cmd, cant extract the key just sit there doing nothing, however, my phone is not bricked, bootloader devices detect my phone but i cant reflash the phone, i already tried the blank flash cmd, just say waiting for device. can someone help me with this issue? im not a noob, i already save one moto x with blank flash and rooted several past generations of moto phones.

Try LMSA's Flash Rescue option
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/update-moto-lenovo-moto-smart-assistant-t3951714
Sent from my Moto E (4) using Tapatalk
I had a similar problem just now - could not do anything in fastboot mode, LMSA failed as well. To solve it, I switched to another PC, and stopped using USB3 to USB-C custom cable, and used the original one I got with the phone (USB-C to USB-C). So my guess is, you need to connect to the PC with the original cable, directly, or just with a better cable than the one you were trying with.
