Trouble flashing TWRP from fastboot

I have a problem flashing TWRP from fastboot on XT1092 running latest Marshmallow 6.0.1. I have unlocked bootloader using key provided by Motorola
When I enter fastboot and flash latest twrp-3.0.2-2-victara.img with command: fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-victara.img, it finishes without any problem. But when I select "Recovery" from fastboot menu it turns off and phone goes into charging mode. When I boot into system and try to reboot into recovery using adb, phone boots to screen with droid and info "No command." below.
Does anybody has any idea how can I proceed to install TWRP on XT1092 with MM 6.0.1?

After flashing TWRP, volume down to highlight recovery, volume up to select/launch recovery (not the power button). If the phone booted into Android, then you have to reflash TWRP.

Ah, thanks! Stupid me, I just assumed that power button is used to select option in this menu.

Need help to relock the Razer Phone 2 bootloader.

Hi, Im kinda new to this bootloader thingy. What happen is, i updated the razer phone 2 to Pie, but notice wifi and sim card cant be detect. Even factory reset fails. So i thought of flashing new image on it. KINDA easy on my oneplus, but im not sure where I gone wrong on this razer phone 2, i accidentally unlock the bootloader. NOW the problem is HOW to relock it back? i been follow all youtube and guides all over the place but still fails.
The state of device atm, cannot be boot into Download Mode. Everytime I plug in usb c from Windows, it will boot into unlock bootloader warning page, and continue boot into the homescreen. testing the adbtools, fastboot also to no avail. Can anyone help and guide me how to relocking it back? Maybe i type wrongly on cmd or maybe other android steps not similar to razer one etc....:crying:help much appreciated.

Hold volume down while turning on. Then fastboot flashing lock.

the stock usb doesnt send things correctly in BL mode, https://www.amazon.com/Blackweb-3-Foot-Charge-Cable-Connector/dp/B07SG7P3KZ/ worked for me. with the correct usb cable you should be able to perform the lock commands correctly. can you give us more detail of what you tried on this phone so we know if we need to provide you additional information?

"Locking the Bootloader
Locking the bootloader is recommended for security reasons. Some applications will not work with an unlocked bootloader.
Start the Phone in Download Mode with one of the following methods:
Using the adb tool: With the Phone powered on, execute: adb reboot bootloader Enter Download Mode:
Plug in a USB cable to connect your Razer Phone to your computer, Power Off the Phone, then turn it on and immediately press and hold the Volume Down button until “Download Mode” appears on screen.
Lock the critical partitions of the Bootloader first by running this command: fastboot flashing lock_critical
Your Razer Phone will show you a confirmation screen. Use the Volume Up/Volume Down buttons for navigation, and press the Power button to select. Your Phone will reboot."

I can't seem to enter download mode. All I have is fastboot mode and the option to either reboot, close the phone or enter recovery mode. I would really like to lock the bootloader, but I can't seem to be able to detect my phone on my PC even though I installed the fastboot driver.

You must use a USB 2.0 port. The RP2 isn't detected by fastboot when connected to a 3/3.1 port.

I tried this, but to no avail. I tried with 2 cables I had and it keeps telling me < waiting for device > when I enter this command; fastboot flashing lock_critical

You need to go into your device manager and select [ android bootloader interface ] while in fastboot

Bootloop after October security update on rooted device.

Hello, I have some problems on my Mi A2. I rooted the device in August to enable Camera2API (getting stuck in the security update of the same month.). I installed Magisk and everything was going well. Then came a notification regarding the October update. I clicked to upgrade and by the time it was done, the device was working perfectly until the moment it completely discharged its battery. After that it gets into Bootloop on the Android One boot screen. I would like some suggestions for the solution. Thanks.

until the moment it completely discharged its battery

This was 2 days ago. It worked again after about 150 reboots. Or i pushed a special button combination, I don't know.
In betweet I did one "fastboot reboot".
Now I have the same problem again after empty battery. Bootloop.
This is the worst android phone I ever bought after HTC desire, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5, 5X. I will never again buy a budget phone or a xiaomi.

I did a factory reset this morning, and itgot stuck on an Android One screen. I am trying to figure out how to reflash it, but it doesn't seem to like the firmware. Not sure if I have to unlock the bootloader? I am not family with any of this stuff. I was supposed to ship the phone to the buyer today, but I guess I may have to kill the deal and refund them. This may be the last Xiaomi I buy.

1. boot manually into fastboot mode
2. Change slot, reboot to fastboot
3. Change slot again.

How do you change slot? The fastboot screen does not have any options/menu for me. It is just a picture.

Yeah, I wonder that as well.
The arrow down + power button combination just keeps the phone frozen on a fancy picture with "fast boot" written at the bottom of the screen.

You need PC for that
Boot into fastboot (vol - + PWR)
Then use fasboot from terminal
First look which slot is active by typing
fastboot getvar current-slot
Then we can change active slot using this commands
fastboot --set-active=a
or:
fastboot --set-active=b

Unfortunately, to be able to switch booting slot one needs fully unlocked phone (bootloader and critical partitions in our case).
Being fully unlocked, one can boot device in fastboot into TWRP, and from there:
- change slots
- wipe Dalvik/Art cache (and other Cache partition if present) - which in turn very often helps to recover from OTA-generated bootloop

I think this is why my phone is completely bricked. It does not have an unlocked bootloader, so it seems I can't flash firmware on it. I will likely never buy Xiaomi again after this. I just was doing a factory reset since I had sold the phone.

I'm still not clear how to change slot. Does the the phone have to be unlocked for this? Is special PC software needed? My A2 has been a brick for almost a week now.

yes. you need your phone to be unlocked Bootloader and Critical Partition to use fastboot. more info here ( read Prerequisites carefully )
after you unlocked your phone and unlock Critical Partition. turn off you phone and after that press both Power and volumn down button at the same time. then your phone is booted to fastboot mode.
in fastboot mode. type fastboot getvar current-slot . after that the system will return your current slot. example: b
then you type fastboot --set-active=a
then you disconnect your phone to PC and then reboot again.
then you turn off your phone again and turn your phone to fastboot mode. then you type this command again: fastboot --set-active=b
then you disconnect your phone and boot your phone normally. after that your phone is fixed from bootloop.
ps: remember to download the driver and minimal fastboot so that your pc recognize your phone is connected to your pc

Unfortunately, I think I am screwed, as the phone was not unlocked prior to my boot issue. So I am not sure there is anything I can do. I can get to fastboot though.

My phone is set to reboot in fastboot mode, HELP PLEASE!

I have a moto z3 play and I have already unlocked bootloader and installed a custom recovery and rooted, the only problem is that every single time I boot up my phone it goes to fastboot and in the log it says Fastboot reason: Reboot mode set to Fastboot. I would usually be able to fix it by switching slots in twrp, but now both slots a/b are booting me to fastboot. Any help would be appreciated. EDIT: Worked after reinstalling firmware but after 5 hours it's back to the way it was, also when I boot into slot B in twrp it just bootloops .

Question Phone stuck in boot loop, unable to get to FastBoot

Hi,
Sequence of steps:
1. Extracted the boot.img from payload.bin and flashed it to the phone. At this point I was able to get into Fastboot
2. While in Fastboot I went into advanced and wiped the "System Settings", and that's when the trouble started - now the phone is stuck into a boot loop forever, I do however get the options to "Power Off" and "Restart"
3. But none of the options above in Step 2 is able to bring me back to Fastboot (and hence into fastbootd either)
Question: How can I get the phone into Fastboot Mode - have tried MSM Tool v4 as well, but that doesn't even recognize the phone

Edit - This seems to have been resolved now, think I had to press Vol Down + Power instead of Vol Up + Power
Was able to enter into Fastbootd as well, will try to proceed with unbricking the phone with a fresh mind tomorrow

FYI for others reading I was able to install magisk by booting the patched file (dump the payload using the python script mentioned above). Running the command Fastboot boot filename boots into the operating system and then magisk can be installed using the direct method.
I assume running this command the phone doesn't actually flash the boot image but could be wrong

Thats right, "fastboot boot <file_name>" loads temporarily your custom recovery of choice. After rebooting your phone, the custome recovery is gone.
Otherwise, the command "fastboot flash <file_name> recovery" flashs permamently your custom recovery of choice to your device.

Hi I have a oneplus 8t and I tried flashing a payload.bin file using fastboot enhanced. after the operation completed I tried to reboot but the phone only shows the logo and then the bootloader unlocked warning message and then turns off briefly, then it does it again and the screen goes black. When connected to the PC, the PC recognizes the devices as android adb recovery devices but i can't do anything from there. Tried the volume up+power combo and it just does the same thing. tried the volume down+power combo and absolutely nothing happens. If i could at least get to the bootloader I could unbrick it but I just can't get there. Any advice

I have exactly the same issue, on a nord 2

How about vol+/vol-&power all together? When stuck that gives me some screen that allows start, recovery (the one where you can enter advanced settings I expect from your description) and bootloader booting.
