Hi all, I tried to flash twrp after unlocking bootloader but the site I followed was wrong, ended up with twrp on boot partition! I've since tried to fastboot various system and boot images with no luck, keeps giving file size errors. Booted twrp from fastboot to flash lineage but that ends with error code 7?! Tried to fastboot update stock room too but same problem with file size, the system img is actually broken up into 50 odd files, I presume to avoid the file size problem, however there's no flash all script. Help!!

Hi guys, I really need your help!
I have a Vernee Apollo Lite and it's stuck in bootloop......
Can't enter in recovery mode (Tried flashing TWRP multiple times via fastboot with a Mac)
I'm also stuck with no OS, originally I got TWRP working and wanted to flash a custom rom (MadOS Oreo 8.1 AOSP)
but I messed up and wiped everything (the partitions).
Tried to flash it anyways but gave me Error 7 so I tried other roms but other problems occured and failed each time, I tried flashing another recovery.img file (TWRP) in recovery mode and rebooted but then it didn't load anymore so all I have right now is fastboot working.
Tried flashing a stock rom via fastboot but kept giving me "remote: partition table doesn't exist"
I wonder if I could use the flash-all command with the stock images but some are missing in the the stock rom file but probably it will still give me the same error (partition table doesn't exist)... oh and I also tried flashing custom roms with fastboot but no success.
VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT I ONLY HAVE A MAC By the way I checked each files and compatibility isn't the problem.
Thanks in advanced:good::good::good::good:
So it's my second attempt to flash lineage os (unofficial) on my Realme XT. First time I was a little careless and bricked my device (had to go to the service center for that). Second time I took all the precautions still I'm having almost same problem, but this time its not yet bricked.
I unlocked the bootloader. It went fine.
Flashed unofficial TWRP and booted back to stock os.
When I tried booting to TWRP again I realized it was reset back to stock recovery. So I flashed it again and made backup of all the partitions (stupidly on internal storage). Booted back to system to check that backup is showing on internal storage. Again booted to TWRP and wiped everything except internal storage, flashed lineage and gapps. Wiped dalvik/cache rebooted to system. I was greeted with system partition destroyed error screen.
I flashed vbmeta.img via fastboot, the error was gone but still i was not able to boot to lineage. (I directly flashed vbmeta.img via fastboot. Didn't use the "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification" command.)
Now I'm having a different kind of problem.
I can boot into TWRP but I can not boot to system (lineage os). Can't go back to stock as well because the internal storage is encrypted i think (all the folders have random names). After flashing vbmeta.img (via fastboot) now I am not able to connect my phone via fastboot.
Without fastboot TWRP backup is the only option for me to get it back in a working state. If anyone reading this has stock color os with TWRP, It would be great help if you could give me a TWRP backup of system.
Also, I would ilke to know where I messed up while unlocking/flashing, so that I can avoid this in the future.
Okay I managed connect it via fastboot again and flashed the stock fastboot image but it didn't help. I'm still stuck at fastboot mode and can boot to TWRP as well but not to system.
While flashing system.img and vendor.img i'm getting error "Invalid sparse file format at header magi".
If anyone can can provide me stock realme recovery, then I can flash official update ozip to get back to stock os (and get out of the bootloop).

You cannot flash the StockRomXYZ.ozip file directly via TWRP or OrangeFox recovery but if you want to flash COLOR OS then use this link - https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-xt/how-to/official-ota-update-rmx1921ex11-11-26-t3993041 to download and flash directly otherwise convert the .ozip file into .zip file before flashing. Try the steps mentioned in the link to convert - https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-2-pro/how-to/convert-ozip-to-zip-installing-stock-t4065277 . After conversion, copy the .zip into storage and always use the Clean Flash method to flash the firmware.
Hope you got it.
Hello! This is my first thread on the forum;
I'm writing because I think I soft bricked my Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 LTE, let me explain from the very beginning.
It's a brand new device, bought today, and with a custom italian ROM which was sold with.
I just wanted to root it, and the bootloader was already unlocked because it was a custom ROM, so I tried to install TWRP (mocha version for Mi Pad) with Fastboot and then I wanted to install Magisk.
The issue is that, when I tried to flash TWRP to recovery with fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, it all went "OK" but then TWRP was not actually flashed and couldn't boot it with key combinations, it just looked like it wasn't there. I also tried to boot it without flashing, with fastboot boot twrp.img but it gave me
"Failed to load/authenticate boot image: 00000050" error
Looking on the web, I found someone who told to try fastboot flash boot twrp.img and so, without even thinking, I did it.
That's the main issue. I rebooted, and found that TWRP started, but now I couldn't boot my device anymore, because the default boot.img file was replaced by twrp.img. So, practically, TWRP replaced my device's default system (I think?).
Then, I tried to find a stock firmware for Mi Pad 4 (Clover) on the web, and I found it, so I flashed the stock firmware boot.img, fastboot flash boot boot.img, but when I rebooted, the device was stuck in the loading screen with three dots loading over a "Powered by Android" logo. I waited 20 minutes, nothing, it looks stuck, so this stock boot.img doesn't seem to work.
I can actually flash TWRP and that stock boot image both whenever I want and switch between them; the first works, the latter doesn't.
So, in poor words: I flashed twrp.img as boot.img and now I can't boot normally, but TWRP starts when turning on my device.
But I just want to get my default boot.img or system, or any other way to reaccess to my device. That's fine even if I have to hard reset or wipe everything, it's fine even if I am going to lose data, but please, just help me.
Can someone help me? I'm just a newbie in this world, please help me unbricking my device.
Thanks in advance.
Try installing twrp again and boot to it
Download custom rom.of your choice ( im using hovac and it been great for a year now )
Move it to your mipad via comouter
Format everything in twrp and install the rom and gapps
--- I just remembered havin same issue u having and if im not mistaking : u should reboot to recovery right after installing twrp ( you dont reboot to system )
Im not really sure about it cause it happened long time ago
@DanielVipx
Sorry, seems you tried that already. Did you try the mi flash tool?
This might help:

So i wanted to install custom rom on my redmi 8a, installed TWRP and wiped the system without installing the rom, now my phone is stuck in the fastboot mode because i don't have system to load, also can't access the TWRP and file system from the pc. How can i flash MIUI? Tried with Mi Flash Tool, got an error "missmatching image and device". I tried downloading several different roms and also from official website, but still didn't succeed in flashing and every time get this exact error.
SOLVED! flashed patched vbmeta through fastboot and can open TWRP now
Hi.
So, I'm exactly in the same situation. For a moment there I thought I perma-bricked my phone...
Anyway, can you tell me more about how you solved it?
Where did you get the patched vbmeta file?
How can I flash it? Is it just a simple fastboot flash <partition> <file> command?
Anything else I need besides the vbmeta file?
Thanks in advance.
due to my inexperience with rooting phones, i have managed to delete everything from my phone.
i mean everything.
the boot.img, recovery.img, system.img ... everything
the phone still boots to the bootloader but wont let me flash most partitions without booting into fastbootd.
fastbootd was part of the recovery image so i cant boot to it.
i can flash the boot partition for some reason and it will boot to it.
the phone bootloader was unlocked so it will boot anything from the boot partition.
due to me not knowing to change a setting in android, i cant flash the other partitions without first restoring the original software.
i cant do this without a recovery.
due to the same setting in android, i also cant boot any image through fastboot except the original stock boot image that is basicly useless to me.
i would think the solution to my problem would be to temporarily flash a recovery image to the boot partition and boot to fastbootd from there, but twrp and the stock image are both too large to fit in the boot partition.
is there some way i can get fastbootd in the boot partition?
