Tkx Davey, it works.
In another case, another my friend (I have many friend use HDX 7 ). He try to unlock bootloader & install TWRP (in this gui https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75284993&postcount=1006)
but in this step
Code:
dd of=\\?\Device\HarddiskX\Partition6 if=aboot_vuln.mbn
dd of=\\?\Device\HarddiskX\Partition18 if=twrp_cubed.img
In a stupid moment, he doesnt run the second command (dd of=\\?\Device\HarddiskX\Partition18 if=twrp_cubed.img)
(bootloader unlocked in next step)
And now his hdx 7 stuck in [fastboot] mode.
How can I can help he solve this problem?

If a vulnerable bootloader was installed (first command) then a standard TWRP image can be flashed from fastboot as previously noted.

Stuck in fastboot trying to install CM

Hey everyone I have a kindle fire 3rd gen HDX 7" (THOR) and my ultimate goal is to install a CyanogenMod OS instead of the stock fire OS. I have been following a youtube guide on installing CM and I was able to get it rooted. The guide instructed that I use an app called "fireflash" to flash TWRP, then install CM from there. Unfortunately I was unable to get fireflash to work, so I downloaded an app called "flashify" to flash "TWRP" as the recovery partition and "U-Boot" as the boot partition, as per the video's instructions.
Once I hit the flash button, the kindle for some reason booted into fastboot mode and it has been there ever since. After some research, I have tried to interact with my device in fastboot mode, but only commands that begin with “fastboot -i 0x1949” will work, and will not boot back into the stock OS, but instead gives the error message “FAIL: oem idme not allowed for locked hw.” When I give the command “adb devices”, nothing shows up. Also, when I try to flash TWRP, the command prompt simply tells me that the recovery image cannot be loaded. I am assuming that I need to unlock my bootloader to proceed, but I would appreciate it if someone could confirm this.
Sorry if this is a little long, but I wanted to be thorough. Can anyone suggest a way to either get back into stock fire os so I can start over, or proceed to install TWRP and CM in fastboot mode? Thanks!
Sounds like your device may be toast. You followed instructions for a completely different model of Kindles — there's a big difference between the HD 7 and HDX 7.
I'd try the commands over on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22077057&postcount=11

Thanks for the reply, and I was afraid of that. I followed the instructions on the link you posted to no avail. If you don't mind me asking, what exactly was it that I did to cause this to happen? was it the flashing of the boot and recovery partitions?

You can't flash TWRP to an HDX without the proper preparations and only a few older devices qualify anyhow. You effectively poured sand in the crankcase.

How to check bootloader unlock?

Dear all,
Merry Xmas and Happy New Year
I am new to oneplus x.
I rooted using this method i. e. Without PC.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-root-oneplus-x-twrp-pc-t3251027
Then I use flashify (app from appstore) to flash TWRP.

Then i flash blu_a Kernel.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/orig-development/kernel-t3250995
How can i check if my bootloader is unlocked? For other phones, my understanding is that as long as u can flash twrp, bootloader is unlocked.
I think you can only check that with the adb tools on your computer.

I thought the bootloader needed to be unlocked first before flashing a custom recovery??
At OP, when you flash TWRP via flasify, did you run into any problems??
Just curious really.

I have issues with drivers for my windows. Have Samsung s2, Asus Zenfone 2 all installed so i use the root without pc method. I suspect my bootloader is unlocked as i can flash twrp.
Any master has any idea?
Gosh... Seems like no one has the answer. Need to check via PC.
You have to go to setting / about phone / 7 times on build number to unlock dev options/
Then settings / dev options
5th line is OEM unlock.
How is yours?

I manually did that before all the process in my 1st post.
I think this is to allow u to unlock, not unlocking the bootloader per se.
with adb/PC ? isn't it ?
check status of bootloader
first go to fastboot mode
first power off the device than Hold Volume Up while Power on the phone
than in adb type: fastboot oem device-info
there it should be flagged as true
My opx was unlocked, installed twrp, now.... Back to stock ROM and bootloader now is locked and i cannot unlocked,
What can i do?
Thx

Based on my understanding, once unlocked, its difficult to lock back. If its lock now, i doubt you are unlocked at 1st place. Pleaae correct me if i am wrong.
Yes. You are wrong.
I have twrp, so i unlocked, but now, i do not know how is locked, because i didnt, and when i try fastboot oem unlock.... No errors but nothing happend.
When i flashed twrp and try cm 13 i flashed, from twrp, the stock zip, 2.1.3.x
And now say that is locked, and.... Never unlocked
PD. never rooted, but when i flashed yesterday CM 12.1, when i restarted my opx to system from recovery do not ask for root from twrp ¿?, when i flashed stock zip, asked me to root from twrp when i restart to system ¿?

Unable to enter Recovery Mode even though officially unlocked

Hi,
I have unlocked my bootloader officially through the unlock tool and wanted to flash a custom recovery and also root my device (Redmi Note 3 - Snapdragon).
I was on Global Dev (6.5.19) before I even started to unlock my bootloader.
After unlock, I was succesffuly able to flash Cofface TWRP recovery through fastboot (well the command prompt didn't throw up any errors and had a success message).
However, when i reboot into recovery (either through button combination or "adb reboot recovery", I just get a screen that shows an image of a phone and USB cable" (similar to the image on the official bootloader unlock tool.
I checked whether the bootloader was unlocked (fastboot oem device-info) and it was indeed unlocked.
I have factory reset and reflashed 6.5.19 (Global dev rom) with MiFlash and this hasn't made any difference.
I also relocked the bootloader with MiFlash Beta and then unlocked successfully with the official unlock tool.
All of these steps still haven't made a difference.
Can someone please advise on the next step to do (as unlocked bootloader is pretty useless if I can't install a custom recovery).
P.S. I also get the same phone and usb cable image when booting into stock recovery
find it weird problem
if you dont,then first just boot the recovery
code:- fastboot boot xxxrecovery.img where xxxrecovery replace your own recovery img name in fastboot folder.
you must success and see twrp recovery
then again transfer img to sdcard and to flash from recovery.
then flash it from recovery and when you reboot ,just swipe to diseable rom to replace it with stock one.
find it really weird ,i did it hundredths of time in my offi unlocked and every time goes fine flashing recovery from fastboot
Hit thanks if i helped
please follow this... it does help for me.

You can easily flash this one ZCX Twrp. Is the best i didn`t encountered any issue until now. I`ve flashed custom roms and miui roms as well.. The install process is very simple, follow this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/zcx-twrp-install-twrp-flash-supersu-t3462448

(Solved)ADB&Fastboot problem(Y6 SCL-U31)(Unlocked Bootloader+FRP Unlock)

I'm trying to flash twrp.I have gone step by step I can't think of anything that I forgot to do, I did everything that was mentioned here and other places even my device is detected in both adb & fastboot.but I can't flash twrp
I tried these:
1-adb devices
returned a serial number
2-rebooted to bootloader using:
adb reboot bootloader
3-fastboot devices
returned device id(I think)
4-fastboot flash recovery.img
returned error
5-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
returned error either "command not allowed" or "Operation is not permited"
6-Different combinations of above commands plus flashing command
What is flashing .... in fastboot.It doesn't work. It acts like an unknown command. Does anyone know how to use it correctly? Help of fastboot didn't help
(Attached screenshots=CMD:Command Line in Windows,SCL-U31:My phone screen in fastboot mode)
See it for yourself in screenshot please
Thanks in advance!
P.S I read a lot of other threads,I Couldn't Find anything that helped me solving the problem,So,Any further idea?
No luck still
Guys I'm tryings to flash an stupid twrp recovery or at least get back to original recovery(All firmware packages are in UPDATE.app format and I can't flash it since It says "recovery image verification failed) . System needs its original recovery to do factory reset,right?
Tell me where to go!!!
Any luck? At least please tell me where to go!! I even mentioned it in a lot of other related xda threads they simply tell me it's a stupid OFF Topic replay or thread. I might be a junior member in xda but it's been years that I worked with a lot of phones and now I'm pretty experienced. Bad luck of mine I damaged my note 3 and got this stupid Y6. It was hard to root unlocking bootloader and now I can't flash twrp in fastboot or whatever. Wishing there was a proper tool like odin for devices like this so it was easy to flash twrp. Anyway.
HELP ME PLEASE!!

What error gave you when you tried to do this command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
Be sure to have usb debugging enabled.

Of course I did. And also device is being detected in both adb and fastboot.
As I already mentioned I used flash recovery recovery.img(or twrp.img I have two versions of recovery that I can flash)
The error is=remote operation is not allowed or sometimes operation is not permitted(which seems to have same meaning )

OK then.
You can root your device with kingroot/kingoroot, it worked in the past for Huawei Y6, after you rooted your device install flashify and press on "Recovery image" after you granted root access to the app.After that click on select file, download this recovery for y6: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754472815 and flash the recovery with Flashify.
Done!
I am not responsible for Bricked devices!
After you done all of that you can flash an custom ROM and I recommend to root with magisk. Always make an backup when flashing a ROM!
If I helped a Thanks is appreciated

You uploaded a twrp recovery on AFH just for me? Thank you,man!I appreciate your help. I really do! But Believe it or not I already tried flashify,Rashr and flashfire. These three cause same thing,when I reboot to recovery it says "recovery image verification failed"Then quickly goes to fastboot&rescue mode where I can't still flash twrp using flash command.

Not nice to hear that.
What you could try to do is:
Factory reset/Install an update.app made for SCL-U31 from recovery
Enable Usb debugging again
Reinstall usb drivers (HiSuite)
Lock&Unlock your bootloader again
Try to flash TWRP
Im happy if this worked and i am sorry if i wasted your time, sometimes this happens if you don't have HiSuite installed.
You could try this too:
adb reboot bootloader
adb kill-server
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Attention, install HiSuite to your PC, Connect the Phone to the PC with the cable, make sure You have usb debbuing is enabled and accept any dialogs that show in your home screen(They do not show on lockscreen) wait so HiSuite installs on the phone(An dialog should show up on the PC) and try flashing TWRP again.
Good luck

Help me with Realme 7 bootloop no fastboot or recovery available

I unlocked the bootloader succesfully then i tried to root the phone so i downloaded a relame 7 rom and patched boot.img with magisk then i did a fastboot then i typed in my pc cmd (fastboot flash magisk_patched.img) then (fastboot reboot) then i stucked at bootloop and i can't go to fastboot or recovery , Even the pc don't detect my phone, I think its because i downloaded a rom of newer version that i didn't update to it before flashing the patched boot or maybe i typed wrong cmd , Please any help guys there isn't any realme support center in my country, Thanks in advance.
you should have flashed vbmeta.img so that you don't get in bootloop
You mean your phone wouldn't go into bootloader by "Vol. down button + power button" holding from power off state?

Maybe the rom you downloaded and the base rom running on your device is not the same version, that may cause the error. {Mod edit}

I've done the same thing I accidently typed "fastboot flash recovery magisk_patched.img" and now I cannot get out of the boot loop as there is no way due to messed up recovery + boot. I have been reading about finding and downloading a firmware in zip format that can be flashed with "SP Flash Tool" but when I try I cannot get it to work. The Firmware should be for the Realme 7 5G [RMX2111].
If anyone else can figure it out.... Please help!

It'll be kinda hard. You're gonna have to find a stock ROM - not an OTA update - and you're gonna need to use python to extract the contents from the .OFP file. This should be it. https://firmwarefile.com/oppo-realme-7-5g-rmx2111
basically you can follow this tutorial
the only difference is you have to use realme 7 firmware not C3. this is ofp file for rmx2151 you can extract it with ofp extractor. also I link this guide for RMX2155. its bootloader unlock guide for RMX2155, but you also follow that guide to revive RMX2151 (until step 10 is sufficient, unless you want unlocked bootloader too)
SF Flash tool is a quite useful for flashing/unbrick Mediatek phones. just read instruction more carefully from now
