I'm not sure what I did but I got my phone to a place where I can only get into fastboot mode.
Booting to recovery brings up a message that the boot/recovery partition is broken.
I've tried to boot into costom recovery using `fastboot boot <image>` with both TWRP and Orangefox.
The command returns an "Okay", the display changes from the bootloader menu to a screen with just the 1+ logo and "Fastboot Mode", then just hangs there.
From there fastboot is still available, but if I repeat `fastboot boot <image>` I get an error:
`FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error')`
Flashing recovery with `fastboot flash recovery <image>` returns successfully, but I still get the broken recovery message when trying to boot into it.
I tried to reflash the system using both the newest rom and the downgrade rom (european) using:
`fastboot flash system <zip-file>`
This get me the error:

I also tried the lineage ROM and related recovery but it seems to have no effect.
I tried to change the slot, use different cables, different USB ports, and every possible permutation of these. Nothing seems to work.
Any input is appreciated.

What android version are you on?
What TWRP version are you using?
I checked the TWRP website and it does not list this device as a supported device, so where did you get the twrp to flash?
I would suggest changing different A/B slots and try to BOOT instead of flashing the recovery. Make sure to be on Android version 11.

I think you're on the nose about the android 11 thing (I'm on android 12 I believe), but it's just short of a solution.
The images I used for twrp are the unofficial ones for the opNord CE supplied on this forum. I had previously flashed them successfully but didn't realize they would not work after flashing newer software.
I managed to re-flash the stock recovery using the images here (extracted with payload_dumper). I'm trying to figure out which image to flash to which partition to also get the system partition working again as well.

Hi,
I tried to flash JB from one of those http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1936512 (on Windows with the motorola drivers), and since then the i does not go beyond the red M.
I can still access the fastboot, but when doing manually "fastboot flash boot boot.img", the CMD prompt shows/
> sending 'boot'
> okay
> writing 'boot'
> okay
> finished
And on the phone
> Getvar max-download-size
> Downloading ...
> Flashing boot...
and nothing else happens. I tried wiping and all but still nothing...
Does anyone have a clue?
thx
maybe duplicate of this?

I'm expieriencing a similar problem, maybe relatet? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37592790
From the recovery I flashed "81.5.31002.Retail.en.GB" that was on my sd card, but the i doesn't go further than the red M with unlocked on it...
I really don't know what else to try.
AW: Stuck in Fastboot
Try this one with RSD 6.1.4
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/smi...17.0R_USASMIICSRTGB_P042_A005_S1FF_fb.xml.zip
Sent from my XT890
I tried with "CFC_signed_customer_8.7.1I-110_IFW-31_RTGB.xml" as I was already downloading it and it worked!
Thanks a LOT !
Do you know what was the issue and what I should do to flash JB properly (now that I know how to come back to ICS...)?
AW: Stuck in Fastboot
The File i've linked is the actual 390001 GB Retail. You flashed an old one.
But about your Question.
Make sure you have the actual Moto Drivers installed! Enable USB Debugging in Developersettings and run the flashandroot.bat while you're booted into your System. After it flashed successfully boot into Recovery, flash the Root.zip and Profit. Nothing else will work and many users didn't have any issues (me included)
Just charge your battery before that and give it another go.

But what to do if there isn't any system to be booted in? I can power up the phone but it's stucked at the red m.
Shall i just simply flash the images out ouf the zip? (since at my windows machine rsd doesn't work…)
AW: Stuck in Fastboot
Edit the bat and delete the fist 2 adb lines.
adb push root.zip
adb reboot-bootloader
Copy the RazRiRoot2.zip on your external SD and profit :thumbup:

So I did a major mistake here. I had the liquid rom but it was so glitchy and all that nothin worked. so then i went to my cwm 6.0.2.8 recovery to delete cache and wipe data to flash the new rom but then it turns out the new rom I wanted to flash was incomplete and now my phone is completely blank now. Oh i am unlocked bootloader too. please help me guys! plus i now have a problem that it says (internal sd card) E: cant mount /sdcard/ and also android_secure is gone. I was able to flash a rom within my sdcard but it gets into a bootloop and wont boot up since of the internal sd card error.

There is a section for going back to stock jelly bean with links to the different firmwares. I would suggest mexico retail it is the most bug free and has very little bloat. But if you've never read this post by skeevydude I was just read the whole initial post because it is extremely good to know all this information so that way you can fix anything that goes wrong software wise with your phone. If you have a more questions about it just let me know. Also there is a small section on how to regain root after you do this but your unlocked boot loader will not be affected.

For the /data wipe (not necessary for switching ROMs, just /system and factory reset) you need to fastboot to stock. Checked out that link, and I don't believe that is for fastbooting. That's for flashing a stock ROM via CWM, which won't do anything for you. You need to fastboot a real stock ROM (from the android sbf site) to fix this. And I would recommend flashing manually because I haven't used RSD and Myth always gave me problems.

unzip the file, download the snapdragon fastboot file and put it in the same folder as the unzipped Mex retail then run these fastboot commands while the phone is hooked up to the computer and fastboot mode
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash devtree device_tree.bin
fastboot flash system system.img

Don't use the stock\SDK fastboot binary for flashing /
system.
An updated fastboot binary for Lin\Win\Mac can be found here on
the Batakang FTP from our local, neighborhood Mattlgroff.
Linux -- Rename the file to moto-fastboot and add it to a directory
in your $PATH -- Ubuntu\Debian users can just add it to ~/bin
(enabled by default)
Windows -- Rename the file to moto-fastboot and put it somewhere
handy...that's on you to decide.
that is second paragraph in the link and I double checked the link it is active.
when you download it there will be three folders just copy the files from the Mac folder and put them in your Mex retail file then everything should work fine.
let me know how it goes.
PS I keep this file setup on both my Linux and windows so that at anytime I can fix my phone and suggest that everybody who is flashaholic or developer do the same.

are you putting your phone into ap fastboot first
also does mac have any kind sudo, superuser or admin mode that you can try it in.
Yes of course I go to ap fastboot mode first prior to hooking it up to my mac and starting the process. And idk about the sudo or superuser but I'm sure there is administrator stuff for the mac

Ah very nice. Thank you. I got the idea to try RSD, but edit the XML to exclude all the other steps besides flash system.img. If that doesn't work I will try this new fastboot. Wish I had been a little more patient
Looks like flashing via RSD but editing the XML to remove all the other flash lines worked. Thanks!

thats because rsd uses the right fastboot to run its commands fyi. from my experience at least. you really need the motofastboot because for vzw phones and maybe others, there are issues with the sdk fastboot file.

Good info, thank you.
Hi all,
My RAZR i softbricked almost a year ago. I am determined that I will get my holidays pictures from it... please help me do so!
It gets stuck on the intel page when booting normally, I can access fastboot however I think the phone must be locked. In AP fastboot the options are:
Normal Powerup
Recovery
Factory
BP Tools
Switch Console
Power Off
Recovery will ocassionally take me to the sick looking droid.
When trying through RSD Lite I get stuck at 3/10 "boot_signed", and the phone says "preflash validation failed". I think this may be because the fastboot is locked?
When running through this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390573 unbrick.bat can't find libusb0.dll (possibly a windows 10 issue?).
I can't actually remember what version of Android I was running, however I'm pretty sure it was JB.
If anyone can advise as to what I should try next, or whether I can't recover my pictures at all, then please do get in touch.

First u can try to flash those images manually. The fastboot command then will say a bit more than just that error.
So flash the system and boot image manually.
We can't unlock the bootloader because u will lose all data from the phone.

Nope, "root" is only a system thingy and is most commonly used in Android when u can access system files while u are on a running system.
In this case the command "boot" is restricted in the bootloader. No way to enable that one for us. U need to use "flash"

Are u using the "fastboot" executable from the Android sdk? I recommend in this case to use the "mFastboot" executable.
The mfastboot executable in the RSD-Lite package should work just fine.
Just make sure u are using the latest JB (4.1.2) rsd-lite package.

We can't get around that. The error message indicates that the wrong system or other images are flashed into the device. Sry, I have no clue on how to restore that.
Kitkat?
Could it be that failed OTA updates won't allow downgrades?
I have a xt890 that is bootlooping with the very same errors while trying to fastboot flash 4.1.2 en.GB.
I'm coming to the conclusion that the OTA Update partially succeeded and its no longer accepting JB firmware...

I have Moto E5 plus (hannah XT1924-7 variant) metro pcs.
In about phone it says M8940TMO_31.20.11.66R HANNAH_NA_TMO_CUST
My device has 3GB RAM / 32GB
im using twrp 3.3.1 and rooted with magisk. and my bootloader is unlocked. running stock OTA 8.0
On this xda post someone said that if you have a 3gb version = Hannah - and - 2gb version = RHANNAH
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e5/help/hannah-rhannah-t3909453
I can only successfully flash a backup ive made in twrp. I've tried numerous roms for XT1924-7 in both Hannah and RHannah and Stock IMG's. . Using both TWRP and fastboot/bootloader. All found at xda
I was able to flash one rom but went into boot loop spent hours trying to flash multiple stock roms for xt1924-7 hannah / rhannah
Twrp always errors out with either "ERROR 255" or "bootloader image not signed or corrupt, etc..."
FastBoot errors out with - "Invalid sparse file format at header, or

Whats goin on?
I just read that using magisk for root will caz bootloader / or something, to see the device as perry variant.?.?.? (forgot exactly)
and i'm also not quite sure if i'm GSI / Phh-Treble... most roms for MOTO E5 plus say GSI IN TITLE. I've researched some ...
any ideas why i am unable to flash any thing at all besides nandriod backup?
thx
