Installing LineageOS in Fastboot mode only ASUS Z00A - LineageOS Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I am a novice user of Android. I own Asus Z00A. Recently, I have flashed my ROM to LineageOS official version. It was working fine unless today. I got a notification on an update. When I installed, I found myself stuck in Fastboot mode. I couldn't proceed further.
I have tried everything to get back to normal. Found none. End up with the decision of flashing my ROM again to the latest update of LineageOS. Now the thing is, I cannot go anywhere apart from Fastboot mode. No ADB Works. I have flashed TWRP successfully. But when i tried to do 'Fastboot update lineage-14.1-20170209-nightly-Z00A-signed.zip', I am getting the following error:
HTML:
C:\>fastboot update lineage-14.1-20170209-nightly-Z00A-signed.zip
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
Kindly, help me out with this.
Note: I can only install using Fastboot mode. Nothing else. I couldn't enter into Recovery mode (Power +Volume Down -> Recovery).

Fixed: Got out of Fastboot and connected to ADB successfully

Finally, I figured it out. I ran the script program which converts Lollipop Bootloader to Marshmallow bootloader and it started working.
PS: I have learnt a lot about Android now. Thanks to all the mistakes I made.

Could you elaborate on that script and how you accomplished flashing LineageOS via fastboot? Or whatever solution you came to?
I cannot boot or install TWRP recovery, either, and I cannot find information on flashing LineageOS via fastboot.
Thanks.

Same problem
I have the same problem of MeanderingCode, andrewjames0304 you can help us with the script which converts Lollipop Bootloader to Marshmallow bootloader
please!!

LG G3 Hard Break

Hi there,
I have a problem that my LG will not boot the device is stuck at the logo, I've also done a hardware reset but the process also depends on the logo proof and 10min not happened.
In the download mode, I'm not coming.
About the fastboot mode I try to start TWRP, but it appears the TWRP logo and nothing else happens.
How did you manage to get it to this point? What did you do before it didn't boot anymore?
Also, if you manage to get adb access somehow you can just reflash the recovery again
I ran a SuperSU update and then he appeared dialog that I should restart the system and since I have the problem.
How can I flash the recovery again?
If I want to flash TWRP on the fastboot mode, only the TWRP logo and then nothing happens appears.
So you cant enter download mode or recovery? And you cant turn on phone?
No download mode is not only possible fastboot mode. If I we want to install Recovery in fastboot mode, shown below
Command: fastboot flash recovery recovery .img
Error on LG G3:
Error: Command never completed
Error: Auto CM012 error
Error: Command completed with errors
Error: Command timeout error
Errror:Command completed with errors

Something does not compute in this at all. SuperSU should not have caused your phone to brick like that.
Is there something else you are not telling us about how your phone was set up? Were you doing anything before you updated SuperSU? This looks like a case of where you flashed the wrong image on your phone, if you ask me.
SuperSU is not phone specific, so I'm having a hard time believing SuperSU did this.
Something else must have happened that you are not telling us. You need to lay out in order, everything you did to your phone up to the point of updating SuperSU.
Also, SuperSU asks how to update: normal or via recovery. Which way did you choose? Either one shouldn't matter, but it's a start.
I had the ROM KNVIRUS V11, since I got the message that an update to SuperSU are available. The update I installed then I get the message that the device must be restarted for the update to be finished and since I have the problem.
I wanted to start the download mode just in fastboot mode, unfortunately without success.
command to start the download mode: fastboot boot laf.img
Result: fs2.directupload.net/images/141219/p68gn6y5.jpg
What I do not understand whatever I command in fastboot mode I enter I get these error messages:

Did you flash the correct laf.img file for your model of phone? If not, that could be part of it. What model of the G3 are you using and where exactly did you obtain the laf.img file from?
SuperSU update should I install because the PlayStore has shown that there is an update.
laf.img I downloaded here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2766437

Well, there you go. I have NO idea for what version of the G3 that thread was for. The guy never states which version it is. You do not, repeat, do NOT flash anything to system, boot, etc for this phone unless you know for sure it's for YOUR model of the G3. There are various models of the G3. For example, mine is the Verizon model (VZ985). There is an AT&T model (DS855), and numerous others, especially for those overseas. I would not and should not flash the DS855 boot image to my VS985 boot image. It will brick the phone as you have found out the hard way from what I can tell.
You just flashed something you have NO idea which version it was for. You may have completely bricked your phone. I'm not entirely sure, but you need to find the correct stock images for your phone and flash them back.
You need to go here and figure out which model of G3 you have:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2791269
After that, you need to go and find the correct stock image files and flash those back onto your phone. Since this are NOT img files, you cannot fastboot flash them. You muse use either KDZ or TOT files depending on which ones are available for your model of phone:
http://lg-firmware-rom.com/
or
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G3/Stock/
Then, you have to use the correct tool to flash these files depending on if they are KDZ or TOT file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
Hopefully, flashing back to the correct stock image will fix you up. However, you better make darned sure which model of phone you have BEFORE you even attempt it. Once you figure out which model of G3 you have, post here and ask. Otherwise, you could bork your phone up even worse to where it may not be recoverable. Hopefully, it's not at that state right now.
I have LG G3 16GB EU version.
As I have written on the first page, I get nothing into download mode so I can not flash it.
What I can not understand why no command in fastboot mode works no matter what I type, I always get the error message: FAILED (remote: flash write failure)

Again, did you verify with the link you posted for the image file that it was indeed for YOUR model of your phone? If not, you probably have bricked it.
You need to go and follow the links I posted which tell you how to flash back to stock.
There was no reason to go into fastboot mode for SuperSU. I don't know why you felt you had to do that.
Also, the second link you posted has the thread pretty much deleted. The OP said he was incorrect in what he posted (whatever it was I don't know since he deleted it), so it was removed due to it not working as stated.
Go back to the links I posted to flash back to stock on your model. If what you say you have is the European model, then this would be the KDZ file you want:
http://storagecow.eu/Xda/LG G3/Stock/Europe Common 16G D85510A_00.kdz
I would verify for sure that is what your phone is before continuing or else, you'll bork your phone up even worse than it is already.
The boot image you flashed is probably for the Korean version of the phone and that's why everything is messed up.
If you are not sure on how to do this, then you might want to find someone near you who does.
Just remember, just because a post says it's for the G3 doesn't mean it's specifically for YOUR model of the G3. You need to verify for sure that it is. Most have the model number in the thread's title.
LG G3 Fastboot

But now i am stuck again on fastboot mode and this time i was not rooted and did not had twrp installed so now when i try to use the "fastboot boot twrp.img " my device will reboot and then will be stuck on twrp logo on the screen
I have the same problem...
I ran stock OTA update 20f, since a couple of weeks ago. While I had my phone on the table and it was runing voice recorder soft it restarted once and then after a couple of minutes again. This time it never booted but stuck at the LG screen.
Never rooted, never installed anything other than the OTA 20e and 20f updates. I have not flashed anything to the phone other than the official OTA.
Doesn't boot to anything other than fastboot. Recovery starts but after confirming twice it reboots and stuck still.
If I boot to Download Mode it goes to fastboot, if I wait long enough on regular boot that only shows the LG logo it will eventually go to fastboot.
Running "fastboot.exe boot openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-d855.img" gives me the same error messages, stuck at the TWRP logo screen. I found the ADB port is connected but when running "adb devices" it says "LGD855..... offline". I didn't enable ADB before the device crashed and I can't enable it in TWRP because it doesn't start properly.
I have the 32GB D855 European unlocked. I belive this is hardware problem and will send it for repairs.

Oeps, `flash write failure` brings back memory`s of the emmc failure with Samsung devices where the sdcard is no longer readable and can not be written on. Send it in for repair, there is no other way and they`ll probably replace the motherboard.

That's right. I tested to boot Philz recovery and it freezes at the text.
Mine says actually:
Error: Command never completed
Error: Auto CMD12 error
Error: Command never completed
Error: Command timeout error
Failed to send stop command
Failed reading block @ 1
mmc read failure misc 2048
The CMD12 is according to emmc spec a "Stop command".
So this is a hardware fault and not a software one.

Bootloop without USB Debug

My ZE551ML was rooted and I decided to update it being unaware that I was supposed to unroot it before updating. Once I got to the recovery menu, I attempted to sideload the newest firmware but the device was not found despite being able to be found during the bootloop. I then performed a factory reset and now it is stuck on a bootloop and cannot be detected by adb at any point.
U can use fastboot to flash ur device
But be careful with it u can hard brick ur device if done the wrong way

But how do I fastboot to flash? Every tutorial I found told me to use adb sideload which I never found possible.
Edit:
I solved my problem by copying the firmware I downloaded into an external sd card under the name MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip and going to recovery mode.
download full firmware according to ur device from here https://mega.co.nz/#F!k4MHiAgL!dVuOKeH3eokcwPSNI79ffw give Thanks @shakalaca for this
download (Z00A)2.19.40.18 if u want to unlock ur bootloader cause latest one cause problems with unlocking bootloader
when the device is off press power wait till it vibrates once then immediately press vol up button
u will boot into fastboot mode
there u can use fastboot commands
now form ur pc go to the path where u downloaded the firmware
press & hold shift & right click
select open command window here
now in command prompt give these commands
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
all done ur device will reboot
now u have a rooted device
remember if u want to update than first unroot it reboot than update
where do u get the system.img?
im also in a similar situation where im out of usb debug cause of factory reset

System.img is the entire firmware except for boot, droidboot and recovery... These can be flashed separately BUT make sure you use the right commands...
If you get to the usb symbol only displaying on your screen, you've stuffed up and it is a true brick...

I have the same problem than vinod.katakam!
I try to update my Asus Zenfone 2 Laser (ze601kl), to a recente version of Android, because i'm stuck on a older version of Lollipop.
My system had a SKU WW, so i downloaded the recent version WW (marshmallow) from Asus website, and treid to update, and that gives me an error. But i reboot the phone a it works fine. But still on my old android version.
Then i tried to just update to a more recent version of Lollipop, the process appears to start fine, but then it gives me an error. Now, i tried to reboot and i end up with a endless bootloop.
I tried everithing, update by adb (cant open the file), update by sdcard (E:Error in /sideload/package.zip (Status 1) E: fota_return_code 408), and fastboot boot.img, recovery.img, but on system.img says the file is to big.
I dont have de USB Debbugind activated. Is that a problem?
I dont have important data on the phone, i just want to make it work again.
Please help!!!!

Hello guys!
Well, i manage to understand my problem and solv it!
I bought my phone from Gearbest, and the problem begins there. Why? Because, regarless my phone is a CN device, it came somehow with a WW sku. You must know that a CN device have system partition smaller than the WW device.
So, when i tried to updated it with a more recent WW system there was no room for that, and the instalation stops with a error message.
After many "Trial and error", i understand what my problem is, and tried to install a CN system version by "fastboot flash" with a system.img with root that i find here: "https://mega.nz/#F!lodnzDhK!H5ChxausDTyko1qGlnF7dw"
To fastboot i used the fastboot tool that sukhwant717 told me to, in the post #15.
Well, that worked, so i now have a phone working. Them i go to Asus website and downloaded the latest CN firmware to my divece, copy it by USB to the internal memory of my device and upgrade it.
So, now i have a phone working with a factory system but with no google apps.
I found this website with google installer: "https://www.digitbin.com/google-installer-apk/" follow the intructions and finaly i have Google play in my phone!
Now everithing works fine!
I hope that my story could help someone with the same problem!

Red error message on boot: "Device Corrupted" (different than bootloader unlock mess)
Was on Qbeta6 and working fine. Wanted to flash complete image of latest pie image PQ3 using fastboot "flash-all.bat" command. After it's done, now we have this. It won't boot into Android. Try to flash an older PIE PQ2 and the same thing. I can still get access to fastboot and stock recovery. TWRP got wiped too. Try OTA side-load rescue but it said that "matrix incompatible" and OTA file won't verify correctly so would not flash. (OTA is higher than current PIE of PQ2 = first PQ3 OTA file). Please help.

As long as you have access to fastboot you'll be ok
Fastboot flash bootloader, radio and vendor on both slots one by one to August pie, then you can either fastboot update (system.img) or ADB sideload the ota or use a type c thumbdrive with the files you need (ota, TWRP.zip, ROMs) and mount it in TWRP.

I just got this error after unlocking the bootloader and then attempting to flash a clean Factory mage. I just ensured my adb tool set was updated. Downloaded a new factory image and then flashed all. Once it was complete the message was gone. My toolset was old so it wasn't flashing correctly.

Fastbootd missing

Hello everyone! So I have a OP7T 1907 TMobile variant, and I've been following this guide to convert it. I have done it successfully a long time ago. I went to update to android 11 and after a while my flashing stopped working, I finally figured out the problem. I was getting the error. "fastboot: error: Failed to boot into userspace fastboot; one or more components might be unbootable."
I was stuck here for a while so I deleted the adb folder and went to bed last night. I woke up and it suddenly was working again. I tried to update to Android 11 and it bootlooped my phone, I tried to reflash but I had already relocked the bootloader, and the command "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" would return the error I had to flip the enable oem unlock switch. So I plugged into the MSM tool and hit start. I am now stuck at the same fastboot error. Any ideas?
After trying a bunch of different stuff, flashing the international rom and it stopped. I guess that put back some files that I was missing. I was then stuck with the tmo splash screen that goes nowhere, I then restarted and I finally go to the fastbootd screen. I wiped all data. After that fastboot reboot fastboot worked, idk if I just once again got lucky or not. But It worked
having same problem, can anyone explain how to enable fastbootd for oneplus 7t indian variant?
You need stock recovery (not twrp, los recovery, etc) for fastboot reboot fastboot to enter fastbootD mode (looks like stock recovery mode with 2 lines of Chinese and 1 line of English)

Not entirely true, though.
Both LOS recovery (like the one from StatixOS or Pixel Expierience) and TWRP (the unofficial 3.5.1_10) have working fastbootd.
I don't think the same can be said about the Chinese TWRP, or mauronofrio's version, however.
Good 2 know. Thanks
open platform tools zip (fastboot&adb) place everything you want to flash in same folder as open zip (it can be whole payload extracted) and that will fix fastboot error

I don't think this is true.

Unable to Install any TWRP Image on my Nokia 6.1 (2018) - Getting Stuck on Splash Screen

Hi Team,
I have an spare Nokia 6.1 (2018) smartphone (Model # - TA -1089)) at my home which I wasn't using since 2-3 years.
Today, I got hands on it, and tried to use it for my development needs.
To begin with, I unlocked its boot-loader using this guide to unlock Nokia 6.1 (2018)
and within "Developer Options", I can see that the "OEM Unlocking" option reads - "Bootloader is already unlocked."
Now, as a next step, I am trying to install TWRP recovery, but nothing seems to be working. No matter which image I try, I get stuck on the TWRP splash screen.
I have tried TWRP Images from the following websites and many more:
TWRP.me
Get Droid Tips - Here when I click on the "Download" option, I get redirected to the "TWRP.me" website only, whose images are not working.
In addition, I have ensured that "ADB and Fastboot" + "Nokia USB Drivers" & other contingencies are properly installed on my system & are not the underlying issue.
I tried running the code
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and my phone got stuck on the TWRP splash screen. Ultimately, I had to use OSA tool and flash the STOCK ROM to get my device working again.
Many websites suggested to simply boot the TWRP and so I used this command:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
in the "Download" mode and then again, nothing happened and I got stuck on the TWRP splash screen.
Note: The only difference between above two commands being - my stock recovery worked fine after executing the 2nd command, and I could boot into my device without much trouble.
Here's my Device Overview:
Device Name - Nokia 6.1
Model & hardware = TA-1089
OS version - Android 10
Security Patch Level - May 1, 2020
Build Number - 00WW_4_15c
Can someone now please suggest where I could be going wrong?
What's my goal:
Root Nokia 6.1 & to be able to install Custom ROM's on Nokia 6.1 and use that device for development purposes
and in case anything goes wrong,
Flash the STOCK ROM again using OSA Tool and bring the device back to its current state.

Hi @White_devil_04200
Thank you for redirecting me to this Telegram channel.
However, let me share that - On the channel, I found "twrp-3.3.1-1-PL2.img" listed as the TWRP image that works.
The conflict is that - I downloaded this version only from multiple sites & after flashing it, got stuck on TWRP splash screen. I had to use OSA tool to reflash Android OS & restore the stock recovery.
And, when I ran the code -
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
, then also I got stuck on the splash screen, but was able to reboot into the OS successfully.
Note: Also, I tried switching the slots too (from 'a' to 'b' or vice versa') but then also, nothing worked for me.
I hope you get my problem, and would now assist me accordingly.
this is how i use twrp on nokia 6 2018 (since i unlocked it):
1. connect my phone with download mode to my pc:
2. run 2 code lines:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
3. and done.
The only disadvantage of this way is that every time I go to twrp, I have to run those 2 code lines with my pc. Still, it worked (at least for me).
You can try my twrp version.

Thanks @Bảo Dora for sharing your TWRP file and for the instructions.
I was finally able to boot into TWRP (used another file, of course), and then successfully get "root" access on my device.
Also, I read that if you execute the command:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you shall permanently install TWRP on your device, which may or may not be the first preference of many users.
Having said that, am glad that it worked out for you. However, I still prefer to use just the "boot" command to avoid changing my stock recovery.
Thanks for your help again.
Cheers,
Manu
For potential readers of this thread, I would like to explain one thing here.
"fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" does NOT change your stock recovery on Nokia 6.1. Because this phone has "A/B system updates" and due to that the recovery RAM disk is now contained in the boot.img file. So Nokia 6.1 has not recovery partition so if you execute the "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" command it only shows an error message and nothing is changed on your device.
Common issue on Nokia 6.1 is that when you execute only this one command "fastboot boot twrp.img" then it stucks on androidone logo.
But for some special reason, if you execute "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and then "fastboot boot twrp.img" it successfully boots into TWRP recovery.
Really there is nothing to worry about. This procedure is safe and really works.

Let me try and find that file link again bro. It's been time I performed the root process, so I will have to search for it.
Will share it with you at the earliest.
Till then, stay calm and be safe.

Hello,
i have nearly the same problem atm.
I successfully unlocked the device.
When i do to 'fastboot boot twrp.img' in 8 of 10 cases it stucks on Android One screen but sometimes it stucks at twrp boot screen.
I have tried multible twrp versions for Nokia 6.1 PL2.
I also tried 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img' but here comes a adb error that says:
Sending 'recovery' (38592 KB) OKAY [ 1.064s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: '(recovery_a) No such partition')
fastboot: error: Command failed
On Galaxy S6 this works fine for installing permanently but here i event cant boot into twrb.
Any advices pls?
