Hi all, in general I tried to put EliteRom, the phone went into a fastboot loop, I even tried through miflash, still can not get out of the fastboot. I don't know what to do.
It seems to me that this happened because I immediately after unlocking bootloader through MiFlashUnlock went to fastboot and tried to put elitrom through fastboot respectively. There it seemed to go successfully, but stopped at some process (setting to A, I don't remember exactly), it went very long, about 10 minutes nothing happened, I thought that the process had already finished and tried to boot into the system, but got back into the fastboot. Then I tried to install TWRP via adb, everything seemed to work, but I could not boot into the recovery via volume+on/off or the adb command.
Despaired, decided to return everything as it was through miflash, chose the item that the bootloader is not locked, and the installation failed. Then i chose to lock the bootloader and it seems to say it worked.
Yay, but no, the phone is still hanging in the fastboot and won't start up. Please help the fool, I don't want to go to the service, but I really don't know what to do anymore.
And when I try to put EliteRom again, the console at some point just kicks out
Well dunno what will say others but I have been through this shiet too and ended up in Xiaomi service .. but yeah, you'll wait like week or two...btw no worries about warranty problems cause unlocked bootloader,they don't give a crap..
Hi, try to flash a12 twrp(link is in the xda k50gt) throught fastboot (fastboot flash recovery bla-bla.img), then wipe everything in the wipe section. Install recovery miui.zip then flash. I couldn't understand that you flashed twrp via adb command in bootloader mode?

Im stuck in a pickle. I tried to update to neutrino 2.8 but got caught in a boot loop. I followed instructions that worked last time and tried to repair my recovery and it wiped the recovery and all other system data, but fastboot wont reboot or install the recovery image it only wipes the and formats. help please
Your details are not that clear. Either you are not using fastbook incorrect, or you have somehow borked the bootloader/
If the latter, you can try using RSDlite to reflash the bootloader. See the threads on how to unlock your bootloder for these steps. This is as close to going back to square one as you can.
BTW, you might also say how you did this. If just using CWM to install zips it is really hard to screw up your recovery.
I am trying to use fastboot to flash a recovery But when i flash the recovery i get
error cannot load recovery
or
waiting on device
But it will sucessfully wipe and format, just not flash or for some reason reboot the phone
I have it figured out to the point where now i try to flash the recovery and it hangs at
Waiting for Device
I tried everything i can think of
reboot
Re-install drivers
re download file
How long should fastboot oem unlock take?
I'm following these instructions to unlock phone (then get CM7 running on it).
I ran fastboot oem unlock command with ID (have JDK and SDK installed and added the tools).
Been sitting in command promt for about 10 minutes now... How long should this take? What can/should I do now?
Got tired of waiting after over hour, pulled battery, booted up.
I get Unlocked message at top of screen when it starts booting but then it gets into infinite boot showing Motorola screen then black screen over and over... any thoughts?
I believe now you have to flash recovery through fastboot, and then use the recovery to flash a ROM.

And hope waiting that hour didn't drain the battery because it doesn't charge in fastboot.
Recovery would not start at all either, so I could not flash new ROM.
I ended up being able to do fastboot and delete user data, this made phone bootable again.
Then installed CWM and flashed ROM.
All is good now, was a little scare though
Thanks,
Hi guys, I have stumbled upon a problem and any help found here is not helping. I have decided to finaly root moto E (I thought I am too old for rooting now, but I am not) and the problem I got is pretty simple.
Bootlocked unlock is ok.
But then I decided not to reflash stock recovery and just to boot into recovery for once to flash superSU to avoid martyrium caused by getting original recovery (since HTC different retarded versions for every country and every retailer, I am very cautious). I have tried 2 versions of TWRP, one CWM, after "fastboot boot recovery.img" phone boots forever, never finishes, but phonw is fully operational still, so no damage done. I have even tried to reflash recovery in the end, none of them worked. Well, command prompt told me OKAY OKAY, but nothing really happened, like while just booting into recovery. I have even tried several USB cables (happened once with desire X that everything was due to broken USB cable).
I am out of ideas, could please someone point me to some direction of what is wrong?
It runs 4.4.4

Please post screenshot of terminal.
Try these steps
1: adb reboot bootloader
2: fastboot devices
3: fastboot flash recovery name-of-the-recovery.img
not at pc atm,but as I said,devices list my device, fastboot flash gives okay twice,same as fastboot boot, and reboot bootloader... I think it would not help me at all, bootloader is accesible
edit: adb reboot recovery does notghing else than manualy booting into recovery (=nothing)
I didn't pay attention to HTC part, recently I faced same problem after flashing recovery and worst part was when I did Factory Reset. It got stuck on forever Boot Loop. Try this Go through Recovery 1. Wipe Dalvik Cache 2. Factory Reset. This worked for me hope same for you. And correct me if I couldn't get your problem.

Your phone is in fastboot mode, not download mode. Small, but distinct difference.
Since you've installed a custom ROM, your bootloader should be unlocked. However, it may be a good idea to issue the oem unlock command through fastboot anyways. Use "adb reboot bootloader" and "fastboot oem unlock" to ensure that your bootloader is unlocked.
Now, since your phone is in fastboot mode, you can do one of two things: 1. Flash a custom recovery and restore your device to stock, or 2. Flash a custom recovery and continue using a custom ROM. Either way, you will need to install TWRP or another custom recovery image of your choice. The TWRP thread is located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-t3239740 Since you're already in the bootloader/fastboot mode, all you would need to do is download TWRP and use "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and then "fastboot boot twrp.img" to install TWRP. Please note that the 'twrp.img' will vary depending on which version you download, it will probably look more like 'twrp-2.8.7.1-h901.img'. You can just rename the file or use the full file name in the fastboot commands.
Once in TWRP, you can flash whatever ROM you want. To restore your phone to stock, go to this thread and flash the .zip in TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo.../lg-h901-stock-images-device-restore-t3241170 after doing the standard wipe procedure. :good:

I'm kinda in the same boat now except that I already received the replacement device. Need to re-lock the old V10, but adb won't recognize my device at all. Any more option when that's the case? I can get into both download mode and fastboot. Phone is recognized by LGUP in download mode, but not by adb in fastboot mode for some reason.
(I've verified connection and driver using the other V10, the other V10 is recognized just fine)

Yep. Your phone boots and everything, correct? Just factory reset it (Settings > Backup & Restore > Factory data reset). After its been reset, unlock it, turn on Developers Options, and enable USB debugging. After usb debugging is turned on, connect the v10 to your PC and be sure to hit "Always allow" when prompted by your phone. ADB should now be able to see your device.
If you can't get it to boot up, try restoring through LG UP/Bridge. I don't use any of LG's software, so I'm not sure what those apps can do and whether or not you'll be able to restore through them.
If nothing else, your phone is recognized in fastboot mode, so you can always manually flash the stock system images as well. You want to use the "fastboot flash boot boot.img", "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", and "fastboot flash system system.img" commands After downloading the stock system images located in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/development/lg-h901-stock-img-files-boot-recovery-t3238638
If you haven't ever flashed system images from fastboot, please read this first, as I am not responsible if your phone turns into a paperweight! https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#instructions While the instructions are for nexus devices, it works pretty much the same, except you'd want to use the individual commands instead of a flash-all script.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the follow up! No the phone would not boot at all and kept stuck at boot loop. I ended up just doing the OEM Lock and call it a day, the old device just won't boot to anything at this point.
I tried fastboot flash recovery recovery.img but it's giving some kinda kernel panic message and I was never able to get into recovery. This reminds me of the time when my Note 3 eMMC was fried, it wouldn't give a device ID to adb.
I think I am in the same boat too. I've been OEM unlocked yet recently my phone won't keep the TWRP recovery and keeps putting me into bootloop. I can't install a ROM and only thing I can do is fastboot mode. What did you do OEM lock the device? I am hoping that solution will get rid of that message bootloader unlocked during the bootloop and then I can try and get it serviced.
EDIT:
In my way of trying to apply to warranty and flashing the stock package into the phone and Windows being Windows, I had problems using the batch script, it stopped for long time and didn't do nothing forcing me to restart the phone and restart the batch, until I uninstalled the driver and make Windows reinstall it automatically (manage devices) and it finally flashed it all, actually I flashed the package three times just to be sure lol. So, in the end I wanted to turn off the friggin phone because I was very done with it (what a PITA it has been) and wanted to apply for my warranty so as there is no command in fastboot to shutdown the phone I didn't know how to shut it down so I tried pressing Power button and releasing it the moment the screen goes off but I think I didn't do it right or the phone can't be shutdown that way (this is most probably the answer), well the phone rebooted and by the grace of Zeus it booted for the first time into MIUI and now is waiting for me to configure the phone, none of the times I flashed this packaged into the phone it booted into MIUI, never, and just when I want to turn the phone this thing boots, I don't know if I'm going to venture into flashing anything again being the phone how it is but goddamnit it was a real PITA, I had to use my old Redmi Note 3.
So, tl;dr: Flashed stock package, phone booted finally, all is OK for now.
====================================================================================================
====================================================================================================
Sooo, I was having problems with flashing stuff on this phone but I solved them and I was able to flash HavocOS, it was OK and I could use my phone kinda well (some reboots but nothing serious, or so I thought). So, until 12 hours ago my phone was having problems with the File Manager (I used FX app and also the stock one), it hanged and didn't respond and made the phone reboot itself a couple times, that was weird, actually the whole time I used this ROM I was having problems with my files, it used to took long time to read some files and I was thinking that maybe my SD was bad but apparently it's not. So, after the second reboot I was able to finally open the file manager but navigating through the SDCard was buggy and the app didn't show me any file (it show me an empty list) so I rebooted my phone manually (this time wasn't done by the phone itself) and now is when the phone never passed from the Havoc logo, I waited something close to 30 min and nothing, rebooted and waited 10 min and nothing, it still hanged on the logo, went into recovery to wipe everything and re-flash all and after doing all that and tried to boot to system my phone was booting to recovery and didn't past that, tried installing stock (flash_all script) and then installing recovery and everything again and nothing, it booted to recovery always. So there is when I realized I couldn't change anything in the slot A (at least to what boot refers), I can't install TWRP nor OrangeFox, I can do it in slot B, and even if I boot into recovery on slot B I can flash the zip installer, change the slot and try to boot to recovery from slot A but it boots to the bootloader, and yes, TWRP didn't output any error when flashing the installer.
Yes, the script flashes everything OK, well not everything, system and vendor partitions (A and B) I had to flash them manually because it gave me some errors with the script (reading errors, and yes I compared checksums so it was super weird) but in the end supposedly the stock ROM must have been installed, which I couldn't try because even after flashing everything on the script the phone was booting to bootloader, I didn't give importance to this because before I was able to flash and boot HavocOS I did the same thing because my phone was bootlooping into fastboot: I ran the script, flashed manually those images because it gave me the same errors, tried to boot to system and the phone booted to bootloader, didn't give a sheat, flashed OrangeFox recovery, ROM, recovery installer, GApps, nofde patch and then I was able to boot to HavocOS. But now this time I tried to install TWRP with fastboot command but it didn't worked, fastboot doesn't throw any errors while flashing, it reported:
Sending 'boot_a' (39780 KB) OKAY [ 1.042s]
Writing 'boot_a' OKAY [ 0.208s]
Finished. Total time: 1.263s
But if I try to boot into recovery it sends me to fastboot/bootloader, if I do this in the slot B I can successfully boot into recovery and, as I said, if I flash the installer, change the slot and reboot to recovery, my phone reboots to fastboot.
This has happened to someone else?
Does anybody knows of any solution?
I still have warranty (phone has less than 3 months) so I probably can flash the stock package and lock my bootloader so I can get my phone checked as probably it is a hardware failure, probably and hopefully .
Oh, and also I have to add that the recovery was also lagging sometimes (OrangeFox). Sometimes when I was looking into files on the SD, also when I pressed the "reboot system" button it hanged for half a minute and the it proceeded to reboot, and also once when I was flashing the nofde patch the phone also hanged and rebooted into recovery by itself. So this indicates that maybe is a hardware thing right? Because there is no way that the recovery could have gotten corrupted or something just out of the blue.
Yes. I'm another victim here... And now I can't install recovery on slot b either. Can't figure out what's wrong. This giving me such a hard time...

What I ultimately did was wipe everything on slot A, then wipe everything on slot B, then I proceeded to install the ROM on the slot A then re-flash the recovery and reboot to system and that's all. But I did had to wipe both slots A and B. If nothing works you can apply the original ROM (search for it on these forums) and go back to stock.

In my case, I wiped system and installed Evolution X ROM (OSS version) with Custom Recovery (SHRP) Then when I want to reboot into recovery again to flash Magisk, There's no recovery... It always opens with fastboot mode. I tried flashing recovery.zip from slot b. Still no result.
Yes. I'm next victim here... And now I can't install recovery on slot b nor slot a. Can't figure out what's wrong. When i flash twrp recovery it flash successfully but when I boot into recovery it stuck in fastboot mode
Change slot and flash again but nothing worked it again stuck in fastboot mode even i flash different version of Twrp(3.2.1) but again it stuck in fastboot mode both a and b slot.
So i flashed stock rom and lock bootloader.
If have any solution how to install custom recovery please help me.
Thanks

Because there are 2 different twrp's.
One of which is for Android 9 and the other for Android 10. You are flashing the wrong one which is why you go to fastboot.
All documentation is on the applicable threads.
People need to stop blindly flashing stuff without reading the documentation or even know what they are doing.
So many people have bricked mi A3 because they don't read first

First if all reboot into fastboot mode then connect with pc then type command " fastboot flashing unlock" enter now again forcefully reboot into fastboot mode then type next command "fastboot flashing_critical unlock" now bootloader unlock.
Again reboot into fastboot mode then type command "fastboot getvar current-slot"
Now change current active slot and then type command " fastboot erase boot" . Now finally flashed twrp latest (3.4) for Android 10 with command "fastboot flash boot twrp.img" now it flash successfully then type command "fastboot reboot" and then press volume up then hit enter and it return in fastboot mode then i have again change slot and repeat all process with that slot but it again stuck in fastboot mode. After all i have changed twrp version but again same thing repeat so I flashed stock Android 10 through Mi flash and lock bootloader.
That's all whole process.
If do something wrong please help me to figure out.
Waiting for your reply ?.
