Oneplus x not booting into recovery - soft bricked(no os); please help!! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OnePlus X (Onyx) - Soft bricked
Boots into Fastboot mode, gets detected by PC.
No OS, No Recovery.
Problem: Recovery gets flashed successfully using adb and fastboot. But when trying to boot into recovery using commands, it says FAILED (remote:dtb not found); and when trying to boot into recovery using physical buttons, then it just stays on the OnePlus boot logo till eternity.
I tried using a flash tool as well(got from XDA), but the result is same.
Here is a look from cmd:
C:\platform-tools>fastboot reboot-bootloader
rebooting into bootloader...

I tried flashing twrp 2.8.7.0(onyx) but still I got the same error. (remote:dtb not found). No matter what, but it just won't boot into recovery.
How it happened:
Long back, I unlocked my bootloader, installed twrp recovery and also achieved root access. Then I flashed CM13. It was working quite fine. But then OOS 3(Official) came out for OnePlus X, so I decided to download it and flash it too. It was working all fine. But then I realised that I lost my root access and my recovery was changed back to stock OnePlus recovery. After that I tried for 2 days to flash twrp back, but I continued to get that (remote:dtb not found) error. It was quite desperate; then I thought to lock the bootloader back and unlocking it back again. But the moment I used the command "fastboot oem unlock", my phone didn't ask me for a yes or no, so I tried restarting it. But it was too late, my phone got soft-bricked till then. I am trying to fix this since days, PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!

R5S - OS and Recovery broken, fastboot not accepting commands

I updated to Project Spectrum 1.1 then tried to flash SuperSU from the stock recovery. No idea why I thought this was a good idea.
Now the phone gets stuck on the "Oppo - powered by android screen" and the recovery gets stuck on the charging screen, but indicates that it is not charging even when it is.
I can get it into fastboot, but can't actually do much with it...

I have tried fastboot from both Gentoo Linux (android-tools 5.1.1_p13) and Windows 10, using the ADB and Fastboot installer v1.4.3
It seems that phone is bricked.
I had the same situation with my R5 and the only way to get in life again is to use an unbrick tool provided by oppoforums .
You can ask Ricky at oppoforums.
Ricky is not replying after six days. Do you still have the tool?

moto xt1033 showing remote failure while flashing

A couple of days ago, I got an error on my phone (Motorola XT1033) saying that it cannot load the home screen. So, I restarted it in order to resolve the issue. However, it didn't reboot and since then it has been stuck in the Motorola logo.
I tried to do recovery or factory reset, but all the options lead to the same Motorola logo with no luck.
The only option that is working is AP Fastboot. I managed to unlock the bootloader by getting an unlock code from Motorola's website and using the mfastboot command. So I assume that the fastboot command is working since it detects the devices; however, I couldn't make ADB command to work since it give the error: 'device not found'.
Anyway, the second step is to flash the phone. According to this question, I should be able to do that. However, when I am running the command fastboot flash partition gpt.bin, I am getting the following result:
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
target max-download-size: 30MB
sending 'partition' (32 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.022s]
writing 'partition'...
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.154s
I have been searching for days to solve this problem, but nothing yet! I don't know which part I am doing wrong.

Unlocking Bootloader and Installing TWRP Recovery Problems HELP

First off, I received this phone from a friend of mine who received it brand new from textnow through the mail. I went through the steps to unlock the bootloader and errors came of that, but on the device it says "Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3" so i assumed the bootloader was already unlocked based on what i have already researched and found. If this is incorrect, let me know and i will answer accordingly.
Assuming that my assumption is right, I keep getting errors when i try to install twrp. either that, or it appears to do nothing.
Going by the instructions on the cyanogenmod wiki for flashing twrp, fastboot returns this when i enter the "fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img" command where "twrp.img" was my image name and then does nothing:
C:\Users\Me\Downloads\android-sdk_r24.4.1-windows\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
(bootloader) slot-count: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found

(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found

I did the same with mfastboot and there are no errors, but it still does nothing:
C:\Users\Me\Downloads\mfastboot-v2>mfastboot flash recovery twrp.img
target max-sparse-size: 256MB
sending 'recovery' (10270 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.329s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.448s]
finished. total time: 0.779s
I tried each of these a few times to no avail. Ive tried waiting at each step, tried the "fastboot reboot" and "mfastboot reboot" commands after the flash commands to where it booted straight up to android, tried the "fastboot reboot" and "mfastboot reboot" commands after the flash commands where i held the buttons to go back to fastboot mode and nothing.
Other things to note:
-Power+Volume down boots to a screen that has "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)" in red letters where there is device information at the bottom and I can only cycle through one option at a time at the top (if that makes sense).
-Selecting "Restart Bootloader" and "Recovery Mode" brings me back to this same screen mentioned.
Thank you in advance for your replies. I am completely new to this and appreciate the help.
I am only able to boot into fastboot mode and not the bootloader if that was not clear previously. I was up until 6am last night (or this morning) trying to figure it out and it didnt cross my mind this may be my actual issue. Thanks.

can't boot into recovery

I want to install lineageOS on my Xperia Z5C (I followed these instructions: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/suzuran/instal) . The problem is that my phone won't boot into recovery (bootloader is unlocked), after I flashed the recovery onto the phone (I downloaded the suggested recovery file from this page https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/twrp-3-1-0-z5-z5c-z5p-t3571050) .
Flashing the recovery file on the phone seems successful to me, because in the Terminal this is displayed:
sh recovery recovery_v3.2.3_22.08.2018.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'recovery' (17352 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.821s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.180s]
finished. total time: 1.001s
I tried to boot into recovery with all 3 methods known to me: with key combination power on + volume down; via adb with adb reboot recovery and with the quick reboot app. Every time the phone is just booting into android again.
I tried to find people reporting the same problem but I was not really successful.
