you might have unlocked bootloader with unofficial method. nothing to worry about its just a warning devices are far more insecure. if you are worried about privacy things. believe there is nothing like secure when using digital devices. and there is not even single service provider which do not collect data. hence enjoy your unlocked device and play around

the last working firmware. whichever was installed last time. (assume you were on latest MM ww4.21.40.233... extract it and get the files (boot.img, recovery.img, droidboot.img, splashscreen.img) in the same firmware there will be ifwi.zip extract that too and get the files (bom token, dnx , ifwi)... now copy the extracted files to adb fastboot tool folder. and then in same folder move cursor to and empty place and hold shift and right click on mouse. you will get option open command windows here.
now reboot your phone in fastboot mode and connect to PC.. now run the following commands
fastboot devices ( to see if device is recognized by pc and fastboot tool)
fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img
fastboot flash token " bom token file name" (without commas )
fastboot flash dnx "dnx file name"
fastboot flash ifwi "ifwi file name"
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase fastboot
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
fastboot reboot
keep in mind extract files from the same firmware you were on the last time when your device was working.

before this problem happen i upgraded boorloader to MM then flash TWRP and installed MM ROM so now it has MM Custom ROM.
i did your solution and installed successfully but in adb commands as i saw give that boot.img not found then rebooted and now directly will go to installing system update and give the error (android robot with red warning icon ) .

as you already downloaded that rom.. and also the recovery needed for that rom..
first of all same as earlier flash MM bootloader. ther reboot bootloader once then flash twrp. the exactly mentioned in the RBR rom thread. then go to advanced in twrp and click adb sidelaod. tick wipe dalvik cache and cache. swipe to sideload ... now run command adb sideload "rom file name"
if bootloops after flashing firmware. do a factory reset and reboot. going to sleep now 1.15 AM here. will answer tomorrow if any other question

Hi!
I've had trouble installing a GSI on my HTC U12+, but AOSP GSI maintainer phhusson helped me, so I'm sharing a quick tutorial.
1. Download and extract Android SDK Platform Tools
2. Download the GSI of your choice (ARM64, AB variant), and move it inside platform tools folder (I've only tested AOSP 10.0)
3. Download and extract the HTC RUU Decryption and Extraction Tool
4. Download the RUU for your device and move it inside HTC-RUU_Decrypt_Tool_XXX folder
5. Follow instructions from the RUU Decryption Tool thread to decrypt and extract the RUU, with all default settings
6. Move the vbmeta.img file you've just extracted (it's inside HTC-RUU_Decrypt_Tool_XXX/OUT_XXX/firmware) to the platform tools folder
6. Unlock bootloader
7. Restore stock firmware with microSD method or factory reset if you already have stock firmware
8. Reboot in bootloader
9. From a computer, launch a terminal, change directory to the platform tools folder, then execute "fastboot erase system"
10. Then execute "fastboot flash system <your_gsi.img>"
11. Execute "fastboot reboot bootloader"
12. Execute "fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img --disable-verity --disable-verification" (WARNING : According to 5m4r7ph0n36uru, you can't flash vbmeta via fastboot if your device isn't S-OFF, you have to use TWRP, but I don't know how, so ask someone who knows! I will update my tutorial once I see instructions.)
13. Execute "fastboot reboot"
It should boot the GSI!
On first boot it may ask for a previous decryption password and complain about a corrupt data partition. You can erase it (you will lose what was inside).
If you have bugs or issues with the GSI, there may be workarounds here: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/HTC-U12-Plus
Enjoy your GSI on your HTC U12+!

Hi!
I have tried AOSP 10.0 v206 system-quack-arm64-ab-gapps.img. v208 is out now.
I still have to try others.
Let us know if you find one working better than others!

Hi mientus25! I'm sorry if you bricked your smartphone trying to flash it. I think the --disable-verity option not working was a matter of platform tools (adb) version.
My htc have actually hard brick. I will try to send it to the service(warranty). Will tell you what comes of it.

If on 2.55.401.1 try flashing this vbmeta. It already has verity and verification disabled, pulled from an S-OFF device allowing the above flashing commands. It flashed fine on my U12+ and I've been able to boot PE 10 GSI afterwards without any problems.
@Romano2K feel free to add it to the OP.

Starting from a Stock ROM, Bootloader Unlocked, I took the following steps to flash and boot an Android 10 GSI to my HTC U12+:
Go to Settings > System and perform a factory reset
Reboot in the Bootloader by
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Delete the system and data partition by
Code:
fastboot erase data
and
Code:
fastboot erase system
Flash the nonverity vbmeta image via
Code:
fastboot flash vbmeta nameofvbmeta.img
(the vbmeta image must be in the fastboot folder on your computer)
Flash the GSI via
Code:
fastboot flasch system nameofgsi.img
(the GSI must be in the fastboot folder on your computer)
Reboots the HTC U12+ into Download Mode and perform another Factory Reset
Reboot and enjoy
If /data still can't be read, do another Factory Reset from settings menu

Wiil this work with the U12+???
It may work for GSIs with a fixed verity status. Thus it doesn't work for some Android 10 GSIs without flashing a noverity vbmeta as. Thus I decided long ago, to never recommend such tools, and not to help people who used one, as those using such tools most of the time didn't even care learn the basics of adb and fastboot. I can't remember anyone, who used a tool, who's ever been fully capable to identify potential problems and errors, let alone how to solve them. And the latter is the baseline to start modding a device.

Yes I'm doing everything from CMD indeed. Always do so, as long as it is possible.
@Romano2K vbmeta can't be flashed via fastboot on S-On/production devices. It has to be flashed as update.zip from TWRP. It should be mentioned anywhere.

Hi guys, in short, I wanted to install the latest xiaomi.eu MIUI 12.5 beta on a Mi 10T Pro, european version.
What I did was: unlocked bootloader, flash latest TWRP 3.5 beta version, I think I booted the device normally after this...
Then went back to TWRP and flashed the Zip file right away, don't know what I wiped after the install.
All in all the device won't boot now, I'm stuck to either twrp or fastboot.
Problem is I cant flash a fastboot stock rom, says it's successful but the flashing process is like 2 seconds, i can't copy a recovery rom to the internal storage, i think Data partition got corrupted.
Can't wipe Data partition, there is a FBE decription error, and says unsupporter file system auto.
Does anyone have any idea what can I try.
Already tried to change Data file system to ext2 then back to ext4 but no luck.
PC recognizes the phone as a media device, I can see the Internal storage icon, but can't see any files nor can I copy anything to it.
Tried flashing the stock rom with mi flash tool and with command prompt too.
Any advice is welcome.

I typed fastboot erase data, i get: FAILED (remote: Check device console)
Code:
fastboot -w
or
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
is the correct command. Now, if this fails, find lr-twrp, flash that, reboot, wipe data, and try again... And you have to do fastboot commands from fastboot, not from twrp...

Hello
I've just ordered my Pixel 6 Pro, coming from the OnePlus 8 Pro.
I love tinkering with Root/Kernels/Roms.
So my question is, if there is always a way to get back to stock in case of emergency?
The OnePlus phones are considered as "unbreakable", because You can ALWAYS unbrick it via MSM unbrick tool.
Would be nice to know when I start unlocking the bootloader of my Pixel
Thanks!
Sorry that Pixel doesn't have that unbrick tool ...
The only one is a batch commend file - Flash-All extracted from factory full ROM ...
It is possible to hardbrick a Pixel device without hopes of getting it running again, for example if you nuke your recovery.
Most softbricks can be solved by either doing what Kris Chen suggested, or by using
Android Flash Tool
flash.android.com
or
Google Pixel - Update and Software Repair
After flashing a module that bootloops you can try this:
If it almost boots up but flashes, in a cmd window type:
adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
It may grab that and remove all modules. If it doesn't, you can try this:
1. fastboot flash boot boot.img, reboot.
2. long press power button, then long press "power off", click ok to enter safemode.
3. Before your phone boots all the way up, boot to fastboot.
4. fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img, reboot.
5. In cmd window type: adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
6. Your phone will boot up with root and all modules removed.
There's a shortcut to safemode that removes everything but I'm not sure what it is.
Edit: boot.img is taken from the applicable firmware you are on downloaded from Google. Unzip the main zip, go into the folder and unzip the image zip that is inside.
Thank you all for your detailed information, very appreciated
Could someone check if the following is the right procedure to revert to stock kernel?
fastboot flash boot <magisk-patched-image>.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot reboot fastboot (wait a bit, this takes a bit of time until you see the fastbootd screen)
fastboot flash vendor_dlkm vendor_dlkm.img
fastboot reboot
And do I have to do this procedure everytime before switching from a custom kernel to another kernel?
Thanks!

Yes, correct, and yes, safest to do so each time switching kernels.
I try to install fastboot rom with MiFlashTool, this is my FastbootROM nabu_global_images_V14.0.3.0.TKXMIXM_20230306.0000.00_13.0_global_80c69df295.tgz
After i flash with MiFlashTool, the process is never end, but my Mi Pad 5 restarting without any reason in middle of flashing, but the process keep going, then i close the MiFlashTool, after that i try to fastboot devices in my platform tools directory, now my Mi Pad completely undetected in my PC, also in MiFlashTool now not detected
I can still open Recovery and Fastboot mode, but in Fastboot mode i cant do anything because my PC cant detect my devices, also i try with my other PC but still not detected, maybe the main reason this happend is because i terminate the MiFlashTool during process because i saw my Mi Pad restarting, any help for this issue ?

It indicates that your bootloader is still full functional. Otherwise recovery wouldn't boot anymore.
- Windows device manager shows what?
- output of 'fastboot devices'?

i downloaded your suggested app, but there is no Xiaomi Pad 5 in device list, and my downloaded recovery rom is zip, i just cant find tool for flash zip in fastboot sir
Your download is only a recovery ROM and not the full fastboot ROM. Full fastboot ROM:
MiPad 5 – MIUI Download Xiaomi Official ROM
Ok, a recovery zip is only flashable in a recovery. It's like any other flashable zip for TWRP, i.e. a Magisk installer zip or sth else. These zips need a shell to execute their commands. Fastboot is only for flashing single images via cmd line on your PC.
Download the full fastboot ROM. It's a *.tgz-archive that needs to be unpacked for the Mi Flash Tool (v2).

Install the Magisk app, extract the boot.img from inside your firmware and patch it with Magisk. Then flash the patched boot.img with fastboot flash boot "your patched image" and start your device.
