[HELP] realme 7 boot loop due to falshing vbmeta without --disable-verify - Realme 7 Questions & Answers

I unlocked the bootloader and flashed vbmeta but without --disable-verify option in fastboot and now my phone is stuck on a boot loop. I cannot boot into recovery either. I could power it off by pressing all buttons.

I'm an owner of realme V5 5G (bootloader unlocked). Mine can be in fastbootd (UI recovery) mode from bootloader. Hold "Vol. down button + Power button" until into bootloader (fastboot mode) from power off state. Then connect USB cable to your phone:
fastboot erase boot # clear the wrong boot partition
fastboot reboot fastboot # go into fastbootd (UI recovery) mode
fastboot erase system # if you flashed a custom GSI, clear system partition
use "wipe data" (UI recovery) # format data partition (not only wipe)
use "Install from storage" (UI recovery) # you can use a USB OTG memory filled with a stock OZIP file
I think you could recover yours to its original stock state because V5 5G is rebranded to 7 5G. (However, probably you could stop the bootloop if you flash only stock boot.img by fastboot)

I can't get into fastboot mode no matter what key combination I press. It keeps bootlooing. I keep checking on my mac with fastboot devices command but nothing appears.

In my case, by keeping "Vol. up button + power button" together pressed during bootlooping, my phone will go into power off state. Then hold "Vol. down button + power button" together until going into fastboot mode (bootloader).

Device not goes to recovery/fastboot

Today i had flashed latest china dev fastboot ROM in Redmi Note 3 SD.
After succesfull flashed i had flashed TWRP 3.0.2-2
Then wiped all & flashed RR N.
Whenever i tap reboot to recovery or reboot to fastboot from power menu, Device starts normally not in recovery or fastboot.
Tried 3-4 times by flashing TWRP via fastboot mode but every time whenever i want to go recovery or fastboot i must have to press vol+ & power or vol- & power simultaniously.
Any Solution...?
Power key + volume up for recovery mode.
Power key + volume down for fastboot mode.
Edit: Sorry, I misread the question. I think it is a ROM problem.

How to enter TWRP on LeEco Le Max 2?

I just installed TWRP, but i don't know how to enter. Power button and volume up brings me to EUI recovery and power button and volume down brings me into bootloader. Maybe a noob question but hey, you've gotta start somewhere.
Thanks for the help
Happened to me too. Did you tick OEM unlocking in developer options?If not, fastboot command will flash twrp with no errors but result is VOL up + power brings you to stock recovery.

You can boot into twrp without flashing it, "adb reboot bootloader" and then "fastboot boot twrp.img" if you have the right twrp recovery image.
Just install the twrp app from store and use it to boot into recovery.

Hard brick of Z5C ... can I save it?

Well, I did it this time.
In a valiant attempt to install a custom ROM, I erased every partition using fastboot,
Code:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache
Now what I meant to do here was flash a recovery, using
Code:
//fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
but repeating this so many times over the last 48 hours, I did not do above and instead went quickly right into below,
Code:
fastboot reboot
The system rebooted as I told it to ... right into a black void of nothing. Now their is no 'recovery' image and no 'bootloader' image ... the phone is hard bricked, won't turn on at all, dead. I was so close to getting to the custom ROM! Is there any chance to get it back into recovery mode? or have I learned a $350 lesson?
Edit: Further research indicates it may be possible to force the system into fastboot using a USB jig. Has anyone tried this method?
Wondering why you used the fastboot erase command to begin with when all you needed to do was flash TWRP and format the partitions using it.
Did you try holding power button + volume up for five seconds to reboot? If that doesn't work, did you use a pin to hard reset the phone pressing the button next to the sim card tray? Lastly, try inserting a USB cable to the phone, press and hold the volume up or volume down button. If the led lights up and turns blue or green, you can use the flash tool to flash a stock rom and start from scratch.

Fastboot and Bootloader problems

I'm trying to get TWRP back onto my Mi 9 SE after installing MIUI 11 from MIUI 10 seemed to remove it
My phone is unlocked
I booted into fastboot using cmd 'adb reboot bootloader' and flashed the twrp.img which said successful
Pwr + Vol up boots into MI-Recovery 3.0 which shows 'Reboot', 'Wipe Data' and 'Connect with MIAssistant'
Pwr + Vol down boots into fastboot with no options to choose
am I doing something wrong?
Thank you
FIXED!

Question Crash Dump

I tried to back up persist.img, modem_a and modem_b but I deleted it and I couldnt restore partition (can't find the file) so i got stuck in crash dump.
Can anyone help me?
Happened when im flashing to cn rom 12.5.591
Assuming your region changing a Global (Duel) to CN (Pro); you're applying the erase and load of the partitions in an incorrect order (do not apply after first boot, must be done before nvdata is read). Do not boot the device after QFIL flashing of the CN build; instead right after flash has finished, unplug the usb cable and hold power and volume down buttons to boot into bootloader, from there plug into side port and run fastboot reboot fastboot. Now it will reboot into fastbootd: select recovery, followed by wipe data/factory reset. Now power off device, wait a few seconds, and hold both volume buttons and power to return to edl (flash mode). Plug into side port and now flash the correct partitions through partition manager (modem_a, modem_b, & persist from Global). Once finished, unplug hold power until it boots (15-20 seconds).

Fixed it by restoring persist but fingerprint doesn't work.
