[Q] Persistent low battery error while using flashing tool

hi,
My phone is soft bricked and stuck at boot logo. I am trying to flash stock recovery/kdz file using flash tool but getting stuck at"low battery" error.
Could you please help how i can bypass this error? I have spend a lot of time online and tried few methods but always getting stuck at this error. I dont have any alternative phone and this is really disappointing.
I am using E988 India model.

CLICK HERE MATE. LET ME KNOW IF IT HELPS. IF NOT USE THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
I'm using same phone and have the same problem. I still can't flash stock with the tool but I can tell you how to get out of soft brick. Download madmacks e980 lokified TWRP recovery and also CM 11 latest version. Get in to recovery mode and go to install file (sideload) and flash the recovery first then reboot in to recovery again and sideload CM 11. When I get a definitive solution to flash stock I will let you know mate. If you have problems or don't know what I'm talking about then reply here. You well need adb installed on computer and open a new command window by holding shift and click right noise button at the same time. Make sure you perform this from the same directory as where there files are that your flashing. Once your phone prompts you to sideload type in to the command window adb sideload (the exact file name of the file you want to flash.zip) but without the brackets

Thank you very much for this help. I have never tried adb. Probably I shall now learn it and then try to do as you suggested. I am not particular about stock ROM. In fact I will be happy if there is stable cm ROM for this phone.
I juts bought this phone two days back. There are too many model numbers n am little scared now about choosing the right ROM. Do you mind sharing link for correct cm11 ROM please?,
Thanks again for your help!

UP

From the beginning, I couldn't enter recovery mode normally. When trying to enter there, it gives me an error. So while on the error screen, I hold the power button and click once the volume up key. Then I enter recovery. The installation of the its begins and the error is status 7. The phone is bought from China. Installed the WW Rom. Afterwards, I flashed the rooted WW Rom.
Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

You need to replace boot.img, droidboot.img and recovery with the version of ww android you are trying to flash through fastboot.
Just remember that as you are replacing the bootloader and recovery these files MUST be perfect. If they're corrupt you will end up with a brick.
Don't worry about using ADB to flash stock rom, the pre-rooted image is fine just make sure you wipe all the partitions and then reflash them before flashing the system.img...
You should be able to find the 1st 3 files in the pre-rooted image thread as Shakalaka included them in his download directory with the pre-rooted.img file... Thankyou again Shakalaka...

Did I say go to recovery?
You just hold Power and volume up from power off or bootloop. This should get you to bootloader mode. It should have a few options the first being "normal boot", pressing down goes through a few options like recovery and so on.
If you press up there are no options displayed. This is fastboot and the safest way to flash with fastboot. If you don't hit power the other options will flash with fastboot too BUT if you hit the power button it will reset to the option displayed.
Go to to bootloader mode, press volume up and use fastboot to either erase cache or flash the rom on your phone. It must be a pre-rooted rom as the stock ones WON'T flash through fastboot...

Hi, sure way for me to install recovery it`s just put your recovery image in adb folder placed preferred in main drive, in my case disk c:, rename recovery with this name to simplify operation and reboot your device to fastboot mode (pressing vol- and pwr and open a terminal windows in your pc with right click mouse and shift at same moment, write to verify device is recogniced; fastboot devices, then write; fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. At second chance you have a tool flasher that works ever for me https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...-xiaomi-twrp-flasher-mauronofrio-win-t3405207

I've read that upgrading to the beta can re-lock your bootloader. So, first check if your bootloader is locked, and if so just unlock using the same process as before. Your Mi Account should still have unlock privileges

can you upload your last screenie? did you try with tool in the link posted?

Check if your bootloader status is indeed unlocked, some rom & using miflash can let your bootloader relock again.
Use
fastboot oem device-info
in adb command to check

No, password is just to decrypt data, don`t worry for that, just slide and go on, if you loosed your data, do a format data to decrypt and never more twrp will ask for password

Go to recovery again with hw keys, don`t worry for password, just xiaomi knows, it`s not relevant, when ask for just slide and go main menu, format data (only data) and mount system, then reboot normally. I don`t know if factory reset probably you delete your system, if this is so flash again rom and then supersu

Unable to install twrp

So this is my millet 6, I try Adb, TWRP manager, but my computer can use U disk mode, you can also use the official phone assistant to install the development version, but can not install the TWRP Manager to TWRP Recoey. You can view the video, hope everyone can help me.

Did you unlocked bootloader? You have to flash twrp with adb while the phone is in fastboot mode.

I am sure to unlock bl。

The twrp manager always downloads the img file repeatedly, as if the img file could not be used. My moto xforce button is blue and can be installed after clicking twrp

Hey, I'm having the same issue here :S Already tried with Linux and Windows, both same issue... Fastboot detects my device, but it got stuck in there... I'm using the latest version of stock firmware...
I never faced this issue before, for sure my phone is unlocked and I already flashed like hundreds of time in the past. Is there something new?
Thanks!

[Moto X4] Boot Loop after Update to lineage-16.0-20200325, adb unauthorized

Hi, I have a bit of a problem:
I have a Moto X4 that's happily been running LineageOS for a while now. Today, I tried updating to the latest/last 16.0 nightly using the LOS updater. Since then, the device is stuck on the LOS boot animation and won't boot further.
I can boot into Recovery, but when I try to connect using adb I get "error: device unauthorized.". After googling this error message I find tutorials telling be to deactivate USB debugging or answer on-screen prompts, neither of which is possible since I can't boot the device to get into those setting or see any prompts.
Any ideas?

Well, if I boot up the device holding power and volume down it goes into the fastboot mode where I can then choose "Start", "Boot Recovery", etc. Is that the mode you mean?

Ooooooh, ok! Yeah, that makes sense. (In my head fastboot was always something using adb, not something completely different.)
Ok, so I should be able to fastboot to something like twrp, hopefully make a backup there, and then try and flash something else on it? I'll see if I manage that, thanks! :fingers-crossed:

Ok, Update and new problem:
I successfully fastbooted into twrp (Once I tried another cable because the first one wouldn't... *grumble*) but when I tried to mount the data partition to make a backup before flashing, it prompted me for the pattern but despite given the correct pattern it didn't decrypt.
Since fastboot works I could just flash stock but I'd hoped to safe some stuff first.
Any ideas what might be the issue here?

Very funny. Dying of laughter over here...
But seriously, this is LOS regular file encryption, I know the correct pattern, so I'd expect something mature like TWRP to be able to mount that. But all I've found so far are open bug tickets of this happening over a range of devices.

Quick Update: I managed to get my device running again using the following steps:
1. Fastboot into twrp.
2. Go to Advanced -> ADB Sideload and activate it there.
3. Sideload an earlier LOS 16.0 nightly. (In my case, I used 16.0-20200322-nightly-payton-signed.zip.)
4. Reboot.
5. Do all the backups.
