I could use a bit of assistance in getting my phone out of Fastboot.
I would call myself "above average" in tech skills, have successfully installed Lineage or Pixel Exp on 5 phones for relatives of mine (to give an older phone new life). Have never bricked a phone and am good at following instructions to the letter.
I successfully installed PixelExp on a Nord N10 5G, and decided to move it to Lineage instead. Successfully installed Lineage, Magisk, and the phone booted up fine. Installed MagiskGApps via the Magisk App. Phone rebooted and has been stuck in Fastboot ever since.
I have tried reinstalling Lineage and PixelExp with no success. I've also tried reinstalling the stock firmware, but I get an error message when trying to sideload the zip file. It basically says "expecting a OnePlus Nord N10 and this phone is a OnePlus N10". I choose the option in recovery to ignore the signature error but it still closes out.
After sideloading either Lineage or PixelExp I choose reboot system. I get the warning screen about the unlocked phone (would love to know if there's a .img or .bat to solve that), a screen comes up showing the 1+ logo with the words "Fastboot" underneath, and it comes back to the bootloader.
I cannot break the cycle. I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to get out of Fastboot Jail!
Also note that I've tried the instructions on this post and cannot get into EDL Model...??? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4204445/

**** Disregard -- I am all set. The instructions for EDL Mode were very helpful, it took a bit of extra effort to get EDL Mode running. I am solved.
Hello there, I have been trying desperetly to get any OS to boot other than the factory OOS. It seems you got somewhere getting the pixel experience to boot./ I was getting stuck in fastboot loop but i never got to the OS. I tried all different flavours, options, but always right after flashing or sideloading a rom using the instructions here, the next step is always "reboot device. now it should be in linage os" and everytime i get to that step, i reboot and instead it takes me to the fastboot.
I have tried so many times, reformatted with MSMd so manytimes. IDK what im doing wrong. can you show me what information you used?

I've searched around but haven't found anything on this. I want to root my phone to get more out of it and all, but It's not going so well.
My phone is a Huawei Honor 7 running Android 6.0, I'm using stock since I bricked my phone (I backed up anything important which were some apps and my contacts and such), so I have that which I can import.
I've followed different tutorials with no success in getting TWRP onto my phone, I got it unlocked but I can't get any further.
This is what I've tried for it:
Boot phone into Fastboot and have it connected wia USB to computer.
Checked if it shows up in "fastboot devices", which it does.
Did "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img", which it says went OKAY, but then when after rebooting it, and getting it into recovery mode, it just boots into the default Huawei eRecovery, and not TWRP.
I've tried different TWRP images, some who said it were for the Honor7 as well, but with no luck, it just won't boot into it.
I hope that's all the needed information, if need anything else just ask.

If you want to get into recovery you have to unplug your phone from PC. You can use "ADB reboot recovery" command if you're connected and running system.

+1 the phone must not be connected to the pc when you try to reboot in recovery mode
Also you can use the MultiTool to install Twrp and reboiot to recovery from this tool
Thanks a lot guys! I'm able to boot into TWRP now.
Now I only got to fix my SuperSU problem, it makes me stuck where it says honor, which is loading screen really.
Tried different versions of the BETA-SuperSU (using the betas because got one from tutorai ladn read that they support Android 6.0), but as said simply stuck and don't know if it actually rooted my phone.
A few years ago, I ended up bricking my LG G5 RS988 variant, by trying to flash a stock rom, so I can remove the root, and everything else to give the phone to my brother. However, by flashing the wrong rom, I ended up being in a loop where the phone would start up, and 2 minutes into the set up screen, it would restart and be in a never ending loop. I remember trying to fix this problem, and made it worse by probably erasing access to my twrp recovery(can't access the recovery anymore don't remember what I did), then I gave up. I decided to try again to see if I can bring back this phone from the grave so I was wondering if someone could lead me into the right direction. I have the uppercut tool, the lg flash tool, and the drivers. Also in the uppercut tool I do see the version of my phone is RS98821d and I am trying to flash a RS98811c_00_ARB01.kdz. Also another thing to note, my phone automatically boots into firmware update mode(download mode I believe?). Also I have looked into the all in one lg g5 forums, and other forums of restoring their phones, but nothing works with what I tried on my rs988, is their someone that can lead me to the right direction?
Can you do this when you start the phone to get into fastboot?
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
If so, you should be able to get TWRP back up and running:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [path to twrp image on your pc]
Hey guys!
It's been a while since my nexus 5 and my rooting/flashing experience, a few years of iOS in form of ip6 plus came by, and recently I went back home by buying poco. I'm absolutely delighted that I did
I tried to unlock the phone, which I did, and then tried to flash TWRP. I tried to flash it several times, using different usb ports, and different versions, and now when I boot into fastboot, there's a fastboot icon for a half a second and then screen goes black with small thing in the left upper corner saying tap anything to exit or something like that.
Is that a common thing? Is there a different way of flashing twrp? I tried doing it through the app store official app but it says that my phone is still not rooted.
Thank you for your help <3
Try different PC. I had same problem, something wrong due to usb 3.0

Use an Intel PC, not AMD Ryzen. Use a USB 2.0 port and not 3.0.
For flashing TWRP, have it in your adbtools folder in your PC, boot the phone into bootloader, connect it to the PC, check if it is properly recognised ("fastboot devices" should return info with alphabets and numerals). Then "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img". Now TWRP is flashed.
Reboot into TWRP and install Magisk through it. Reboot into system. Check whether Magisk Manager is installed. If not, download the apk and manually install, reboot and check.
Without flashing Magisk, you won't be rooted.

Firstly, is your twrp flashed at all? What does cmd show when you flash it? Does it output any error?
Secondly, if it is flashed successfully, you must boot to twrp (not system) from cmd using "fastboot boot <name of recovery>.img". In twrp, keep it read only and then flash this zip:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1As6z5v7NEIfOk67jXHBX34cbnFZdEjy9/view
Once its done, reboot into twrp, wipe data and install magisk for root.
I seem to have completely knackered my phone and maybe someone can help. I've spent days trying to install a custom rom on my G8 power XT2041-3. The bootloader was unlocked. I had TWRP on it and couldn't figure out why I couldn't go to fastbootd to install the Resurrection Remix ROM or HavocOS ROM. Eventually I found the stock firmware for my device and flashed the stock recovery.img to replace TWRP. I was hopeful when I finally saw fastbootd on my screen and went ahead to flash boot.img (all seemed fine) followed by flash system of the custom ROM. It got to 3/3 and then said something about Failed: Operation not Permitted. I can't remember the exact wording now and can't try again because my phone is pretty much useless.
If I try to power on my phone it takes ages trying to boot (alternately between the bootloader unlocked warning and the big M for Motorola), but eventually I get a message saying:
Boot Failed. Press Power Key to Retry
No bootable A/B slot
Failed to boot Linux, falling back to fastboot
Fastboot Reaso: Fall through from normal boot mode
Nothing seems to work. I can't boot into any recovery. The phone won't start at all apart from this very basic looking bootloader. My device is recognised by fastboot devices but that's about it. I can't flash fastboot commands. I tried flash partition gpt.bin. I tried to flash recovery.img again. A few things. But nothing works.
I'm using Linux so can't download RSD Lite that I wanted to try or the Motorola Research and Smart Assistant. Does anybody have any suggestions please? I'm at my wits end with the thing.
Thanks

If you don't have a windows running computer, you can try a virtual machine with Virtual Box to emulate a Windows computer and try the Motorola Research and Smart Assistant

Thank you very much for that. I'd never heard of Virtual Box before. I'll have more time tomorrow to install it and see how I get on. Hopefully I can fix it because I think I'm all out of other options. Much appreciated!
Still very new to the community, so please bear with me if I miss something or make any mistakes.
Trying to flash havocOS
I flashed an unofficial version of twrp (for X657, made sure to disable verity on both vbmeta and vbmeta_system), then attempted to boot into twrp, with no luck (it just ended up booting into fastboot for some reason).
I then tried to boot into fastbootd, completely forgetting i had twrp still installed, to flash havoc from there (this is where i think i messed up, i remember reading somewhere that twrp prevents this)
Now my phone is stuck looping on the infinix logo
Tried the SP Flash Tool, but kept getting this error. Which I'm guessing is because the phone keeps restarting (mainly because "Disconnected!" shows up in the console between two instances of the same error).
Any advice?

Probably you haven´t to flash vbmeta to boot to TWRP but just when you are ready to boot to system.

You can flash the TWRP image through fastboot and then boot to it through commands.

This is the list of errors from SP Flash tool https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-439.html
Anyway, you have a tool specific for your device https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-9224.html

I meant twrp prevents booting to fastbootd, it was after trying to boot into fastbootd using "fastboot reboot fastboot" that the bootloop started, right now I can't seem to get past the boot logo.

This method doesn't work either since the phone won't stay off for more than 7 seconds.
I'm not stuck in a bootloop as in the phone powers on, then gets stuck, or powers off again
The phone continuously powers on and off and nothing I do (apart from disconnecting the battery) stops it, even then, once the battery is back in it begins looping again...

You don't need to reboot to fastbootd, and you can't apply ADB commands either, because your device doesn't allow it due to random reboots and due to USB debugging is disabled right now.

Not true, this is the whole idea of this kind of tools either through SP Flash tool or Infinix tool you just have to GET device can be detected, this tiny portion of time will be enough for the tools can start its job, once the tool started the device get attached without a way to get out of it. To achieve this, prepare ALL that you need for tool to work even press flash/download, connect device with PC and apply the right combination key,
Prepare device manager on Windows and check which status of connection it is passing through to better understand which mode is lacking of.

You are not saying till now which model your device is, assuming that the bootloader is unlocked.

I tried again and that error seems to just be an issue with the linux version, it detected the phone fine and started writing to "super" on windows, but my laptop died, and now the phone isn't showing up on SP Flash, neither would it turn on at all.. but the charging indicator light comes on when I plug it in.

Well, if you interrupted the process, that's not good at all. The only you can do is keeping trying it, if your motherboard was not damaged.
