Can't Flash stock image in Fastboot on UNLOCKED bootloader - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

So i seemed to have messed up with the rooting process and have a softbricked phone here. trying to flash the stock image in fastboot but am getting this error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash boot boot.img
(bootloader) has-slot:boot: not found
error: cannot load 'boot.img'
This happens with anything i try to flash.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Have the same problem with my z play, all i have to do to get rid of the softbrick was flash TWRP via fastboot flash recovery file.img
Then push the CM14.1 and OPENGAAPS via
adb push file.zip
Btw can't flash stock ROM, that's why always you have to do a backup un TWRP, hope it helps.

I am a moron. I had all the files in the wrong directory. It in fact works even though it looks like it's reporting an error. Was able to flash back to stock...

[Q] Phone not showing up in adb shell

Here's my issue:
I create a folder on my Nexus ".A." primarlily because it'd be first up top, well I realized after I wiped all data/cache/system that my phone doesn't recognize this folder with the ROM I have in it via Clockwork. So I reboot my phone, stuck in Google boot logo. I'm able to get into Fastboot mode, and my phone shows up when I ./fastboot-mac devices
However, adb devices lists nothing, and adb shell says device not found.
I'm trying to push this AOKP zip file to the phone so that I can boot back into recovery and flash it.
Any ideas on what I need to do to make this happen?
MacPro:android-sdk Home$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (3776 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.428s]
writing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 0.257s]
finished. total time: 0.685s
MacPro:android-sdk Home$ adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
error: device not found
boot.img was taken from AOKP 38
i then changed the name of the rom zip to update and tried to adb push it and received this error. :/
followed these instructions :
Android 4.0.2 factory images
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-toro-primekk15.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-toro-i515.ek02.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio-cdma radio-cdma-toro-i515.ek05.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-mysid-icl53f.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
got past the google start up screen and it looks like i'm now boot looping on the stock nexus boot screen
fastboot flash'd clockwork mod recovery, cleared data system wiped
now i'm stuck on google boot, however this time instead of just sitting on the google logo it's rebooting itself every 10 seconds and vibrating each time.
pulled battery, rebooted, same thing.
letting it sit and continue to do this.
phone still not showing up in adb devices
Just in case you didn't know, adb doesn't work when you're in bootloader mode, only in recovery mode and when you're booted will adb work. Regarding your boot looping problem, I'm not too sure but are you flashing the correct image and is it not corrupted? Check the hash for the zip and compare it.

can only go to fastboot and nothing else

i think i've ****ed up my zenfone 2.
i can only go to fastboot and i can flash boot.img , droidboot.img and recovery.img
but i can't flash system.img (it says error: cannot load 'system.img') and everytime i try to go to recovery , it just freeze on asus logo and that's it.
i can't flash asus zip file (from asus site) because the size of the file is too large and i receive error.
i was using a custom rom and decided to return to stock.
how can i fix my phone?
Your system.img is corrupted somehow, if you are using shakalaca's img just delete the current one in your folder and unzip like you did before, that worked for me after the same thing happened to me while flashing.
okay.i have some good news (for myself )
i can now get into Recovery mode.it's stock recovery with and android robot in it and saying "installing System Update"
but after a few seconds it says error and that's it.
i use "adb devices" but there's no device connected.same for "fastboot devices"
now what should i do?
p.s : i get error everytime i want to "fastboot flash system system.img" and everytime i use "fastboot -w".for flashing system it gives the "error: cannot load 'system.img'" and for -w it says "FAILED (remote: flash_cmds error! )"
edit: now i have TWRP recovery.it's the UN-Tethered one.so i don't think i can install stock rom.right?
what should i do if i want to install stock rom?
edit 2:finally.i installed a custom rom for now.everything is ok.the phone is up and running.
but now i want to return to stock rom.how?

Stuck in Fastboot/No Download Mode

Hey guys !
So since i messed up with the recovery mode, i'm stucked in the fastboot with no Download mode (recovery doesnt work neither).
So after searching 3 days in the internet i found the acces to fast through adb by puting a new laf.img in order to restore the download mode and flash a stock firmware !
My problem is that when i try to enter the command on the cmd, i get severals errors, take a look :
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb devices
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell
error: device not found
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot erase laf
erasing 'laf'...
FAILED (remote: failed to erase partition
)
finished. total time: 5.034s
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash laf laf.img
target reported max download size of 2147483648 bytes
sending 'laf' (18432 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.581s]
writing 'laf'...
FAILED (remote: flash write failure)
finished. total time: 5.615s
Also command : "fastboot boot laf.img" result to "Failed(remote: dtb not found) instead of flash write failure..
Of course i have my G3 855 32GB in download mode (but it goes into fastmode), so when i try a command, lines are added in the screen etc..
Does that mean that my laf.img don't work? I assumed that so i try several, but does it have to be the exact same one as the one who was in my phone before( v20a if i record correctly ) or could it be from any 855 32GB version ?
I also thought it could be a recognition problem as when i type "adb devices" or "adb shell" nothing is found..
If someone has any clue or a link to some guide i'll be more than joyful, thanks in advance !

Hey thank you so much for answering !
What do you mean by that, i already download the adb/fastboot driver and launch a cmd in the directory they are at, writing "adb fastboot" has no result neither, can you be more specific please ?
cm13 recently messed up my phone in exactly the same way, no recovery and download mode would jump straght to fastboot. I followed this guide to the letter and am now back running again: http://open-freax.fr/guide-unbrick-your-lg-g3/

Well i hope my problem can be solved in a safer way, i dont like much to go on the hardware part, so I'll use it as my last hope, but thanks
Altought i think my device is recognized by fastboot in someway because it responds when i type commands in fastboot, and also when i reboot it.
But i'm getting this error :
Code:
error : command never completed
error : auto CMD12 error
error : command completed with errors
error : command timeout error
failed to send stop command
failed writing block @ 1
in the screen of my phone. Does that stand for Cyanogen mode which i was trying to put on my phone ?
I mean when you enter command in cmd use adb before any command also use cmd which one available on android sdk folder....also you can use this method if adb not workinhg properly http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g...-9008-t3072091

Oh ok ! Also your link is not working :s
I understand that the method can work but I think that the method i'm trying to use is really close to succeed, over my search on the internet, i saw lots of people who manage to succeed with it.
But i guess i must do something wrong. I downloaded the kdz file according to my IMEI.
Then I extracted the .dz file with LG Firmware Extract. Then I extracted the file named laf_393216.bin from the dz file. Changed his name into laf.img , put it into the fastboot directory.
Then i typed
Code:
fastboot format cache
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash laf laf.img
in a cmd from the directory.
It all seemed to work, but then when i remove the battery and restart into download mode, it goes into fastboot after the download mode charging animation..
Also when i try to boot with fastboot boot laf.img i get the error (remote: dtb not found) on the cmd.
And ERROR: Unable to find suitable device tree for device(194/0x0001001/112/0) ERROR: getting device tree adress failed DTB offset is incorrect, kernel image does not have appended DTB)
Am I doing something wrong, should I changed more file than just laf ?

I don´t know what exactly is the problem, maybe something with your win-driver, some crashed or drifted partitions or some broken files...
I just can repeat my advice: I was in the same situation with my phone after a failed cm13 update and i was trying and reading about 2 days how to solve it - after the above mentioned method, your phone would get out of this "coma".
Maybe somebody else here in this forum could help you with your mentioned method, sorry.

Well I think i'm still under warranty, so i dont wanna touch to much on the hardware.
So do you think, if i send it back without touching anything, saying i put it on charge one night and the next morning it was like this, the warranty could work?
If they found it's rooted or they understand you did something with your software your warrenty is void ?

Remove the battery, put it, press the volume + and connect to PC USB, if like entering download, what happens to us not to go, will leave the ****ing LoGo, Well, hold down the volume + and not let go, I think it is less for 2 minutes more. After a while, the computer tells us that something was connected, the phone will tell you who is in fastboot as I said before, if not let me fastboot flash boot files and the LAF, recovery ect, nothing happens, there is still a magic command.
fastboot boot laf.img
Keep it in the ****ing heart

You have several options:
- find your phone firmware, extract recovery.img and flash it back through fastboot(do exactly the same for the LAF partition to restore download mode)
- flash a custom recovery for your phone model, if it doesn't work try an older version of TWRP, also it can be that your phone is not d855 but d850 model, so try to flash a d850 custom recovery and see if it works(that was exactly my problem and why i got stuck in fastboot mode, because my phone is d850 model and in settings it says d855, so I flashed wrong TWRP)

It seems that your phone's bootloader is locked, you can try to execute this command: "fastboot oem unlock", and then check state with "fastboot oem device-info". But some people says that it does nothing, so you can try and check for yourself.
You can also try to boot directly an image from fastboot for eaxmple:
Code:
fastboot boot laf.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
So if you could successfully boot a laf image you would be able to access download mode, and if you could boot a custom recowery then you could access ADB and to try to flash other partitions, or even flash a custom rom...

Install TWRP and then to root.

Hello please can anyone advise me and forgive any wrong terms..
I am trying to push twrp to my lg g4 H815 20g using adb and fastboot but everytime it comes back with
error: cannot load 'twrp.img': No such file or directory
PS C:\Users\Anthony\Desktop\ADB>
i have tried renaming twrp file to various things and changing the command fastboot flash twrp.img or fastboot flash recovery.img
but i keep getting errors of one discription or the other..
I have followed guild after guild but still not made the magic happen..
Bootloader is officially unlocked via LG and twrp for lg g4 downloaded from twrp site.
Been trying for two days to install a recovery so i can also root but having no luck.
please any help or advise would be appreciated..
you must put the "twrp.img" into to your "ADB" folder and then exec this:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Hi thanks for your help
yes I have the img file in adb/fastboot folder and been doing this and still comes back in cmd as no such file etc..
Tried renaming twrp img file and changing fastboot flash line to match but still no joy..
Tried earlier g4 twrps same outcome it’s as if downloaded recovery’s are corrupt or something as they don’t appear to be being seen..
What is best name for the twrp image or do you leave it as it came downloaded and run the
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img Regardless of what twrp called when downloaded..
Thanks
Have you changed directory to the sdk folder? Or shift + right clicked in folder "open cmd here"?
The command is "fastboot flash *whatever recovery is called in adb folder*"
I ended up changing the name to "twrp3.1.1" or whatever cause it had a hell of a name when downloaded. Just name whatever you want as long as you call it same thing when flashing.
Make sure you also have a copy of it on your SD too because it wont stick and when you reboot to the recovery you then need to reflash the image from in there.
Hi I think it was successful i changed name of twrp on second attempt and it seemed to work..
only problem was when i tried to manually boot into recovery via volume down and power i did something wrong and accidentally reset the dam thing instead of booting into twrp......will have to do it all over again but hopefully i have it sorted..

Phone stuck in fastboot
does anyone have recovery files for nokia 3.2 or stock image
my nokia 3.2 bootloader version is blank. how can i recover from this. i am stuck
Anyone has got a solution for this?
just flash it via fastboot and all will be well. just use fastboot flash boot boot.img, fastboot flash system system.img. with this format you'll be able to boot your phone again.
I have the same problem.I was in twrp and i tapped on recovery and now every time i want to exit to my system,i go back to the bootloader and for about 2 hours i was trying to fix this and now i did the fastboot oem lock and im on the screen where i need to lock my bootloader and i tried to go up or down but the buttons dont work,anybody got an acutal solution for this?
