hi all, sorry if this has beeen posted before but its bugging me as i spent literally 4-5 hours lastnight trying to sort it, i havee rooted 4-5 android phones in the past but im just having no luck with this one
i installed adb / fastboot minimal, enabled what needed to be enabled in developer options on the swift, booted the swift into fastboot mode, then when i run adb on my computer, the first command works 'fastboot oem unlock' but after that its constantly saying 'waiting for devices' whenever i try the next phase of commands ie. fastboot -i 0x2970 oem unlock-go etc it just wont detect the device at all in windows on adb, is there any suggestions anyone could throw out there before i end up sending it back and getting an alternative android phone thats easier to root? the only thing i can think off is its a usb driver issue? but i installed the gloogle usb drivers and it picks up the phone for file transfer etc so im not sure if this is the issue. many thanks!

Hi,
I had the same issue. When that happens, do commands without the -i 0x2970 bit. So for example:
fastboot -i 0x2970 erase recovery
becomes:
fastboot erase recovery
Hope this helps

I tried this but it still says 'waiting for any device' My initial command worked for fastboot oem unlock, but then I just couldnt do the following commands, and as a result whenever i tried to install a custom recovery / rom it gave me the error along the lines of 'unable to verify....'
edit: when i missed out the -i part, then said its already unlocked. however i still am not able to install supersu or the recovery as it still gives me the error 'signature verification failed'

Hi,
OK, what recovery are you trying to install? I would recommend TWRP 3.0.2 by Beroid (in the development section) because it's easy to use and it works. Get the image and put it in your adb folder is. Make sure you are in fastboot. Then run commands
- fastboot erase recovery
- fastboot flash recovery (name of file).img
Disconnect the device from your computer. Then remove the battery. Then replace the battery and press VOLUME DOWN and POWER to rebbot in to recovery mode to verify the installation.
You should now be in the recovery. You can flash custom roms and supersu within this new recovery.
Hope this helps

Hey, I know that there are many threads with this issue. However none of them seem to work. My phone got stuck in a bootloop about a year ago - I just put it back in the box and threw it in a draw... - and it would be nice to fix this now.
So far I have installed the USB Drivers, ADB software and connected my phone and put it within Fastboot Mode. I can send commands to the phone successfully.
My issue is that I never enabled "OEM unlocking" whilst the phone was booted, can no longer do that due to being unable to boot it.
I have tried the following commands, none work:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flash boot *image*
fastboot flash recovery *image*
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
They all return the same error:
FAILED (remote: device is locked. Cannot flash images)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What are my options? Also, even if I manage to flash my device, will it get stuck in this bootloop again as I have read that it is possibly a hardware issue.
If it is a hardware issue, can I easily fix it or do I need tools for removing chips etc...
Hello friends
a friend brought me a Moto G7 Play (XT1952-2), and said he had forgotten the password, the email and all, to try to recover, he tried to flash, but did not unlock the bootloader, did not enable USB debugging and did not enable OEM unlock and yet downgraded on mobile.
The result is that the phone no longer leaves the Start Up Failed screen, it shows the following messages:
Fastboot AP Flash Mode (Secure)
SSM: Android checking failed.
No bootable A / B slot
Failed to boot Linux, failing back to fastboot
Fastboot Reason: Falling Through Normal Boot Mode
I already tried to unlock the bootloader, but as the OEM unlock option is not enabled, I could not. I tried to flash with the same rom as before or with a more current one and it didn't change anything either. I've tried basically everything I found in the forums. Can someone give me an idea of what to do?
Tks!

What you are trying to do? Just switch from Chinese to Global? or your device is bricked now?
What did happen after that you flashed the Chinese recovery ROM?
What modes do you have available?
Did you unlock bootloader previously?

Fastboot flashing commands won't work if you have bootloader locked.
Did you unlock bootloader previously and probably get locked again?
Did you enable all the proper options on Developer section, i.e. USB debugging and check if device is recogniced on adb commands?
What do you get with "fastboot getvar all"?

thanks a lot dude i m on unlock boot loader .
But bootloader some time works means sometimes it shows my device name after available device command it shows only ???????? Fastboot devices
i tried all way possible but none of them worked.
And i m unable to switch from china to global.
Only i can do is switch between china stable to developer.
i tried getvar command but it gave me this
PS C:\adb> adb reboot bootloader
error: device '(null)' not found
PS C:\adb> fastboot getvar all
getvar:all FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))

And you said you enabled USB debuging?!? you didn't. First enable it under development tools.
MAKE SURE YOUR USING RIGHT ADB/FASTBOOT TOOLS AND DRIVERS.
After 'adb reboot bootloader' use 'fastboot devices'. You can change usb cable and if you still get errors try using usb hub.
If all above fails than try it on WIN7 PC.

I think you are not properly booted to the proper state while you're trying certain commands. Just to be clear; adb works while your device is power on and fastboot commands will work only while your device is in fastboot mode not while on adb mode. A way to be sure that you are doing properly is enabling USB debugging first but while connected device with PC, a prompt will appear from device screen and then tap on "always allow", then you have to type "adb devices" and follow step by step, if device is recognized you can go to the next step with "adb reboot bootloader" then in fastboot you have to see the bunny otherwise is not properly in fastboot mode, then you can follow with "fastboot devices" and so on, keep in mind that any command will work until device is properly recognized.

Just trying to determine what your words exactly mean when you say "after in fastboot mode it doesn't boot in adb mode." ... without entering in more technical insights adb works when device is on, no sense to boot to fastboot to try to boot to adb after that (?)
If you can boot to fastboot what you have to try firstly is unlock bootloader or be sure that is already unlocked using
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
if your device is or get unlocked then you can try to flash or just boot to a custom recovery but if you can't determine until now if your device is really unlocked then you couldn't go further.
The hardware method to enter to fastboot is from a device off; pressing both pwr and vol down buttons but if the bunny is not displayed probably you didn't really get fastboot mode.

Do yo use WIN10? Find PC with Win7... and install adb/fastboot app and drivers. Than try..
Is your system working now?
Just unlock your bootloader and install OrangeFox recovery than you can flash whatever you need.
Problem solved.

TWRP can't bypass encryption, when you have no access to read data (0mb) then you have to format it, to avoid that is always recommended use OrangeFox, just for future reference, if you understand that you can flash OrangeFox through TWRP for better experience.
Also you can use this tool to help you to automate some stuff https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools
Hello,
I got my Fairphone stolen and I had to get a new one and re-config my os onto it (I had Iodéos).
I followed the official instruction here https://iode.tech/en/iodeos-installation/#1648127755024-cd19692f-431b but got stuck when my phone never reached recovery mode. It is now stuck in the bootloader menu (Start/ Restart to bootloader/ Recovery mode/ Power off/ FFBM/ QMMI) and whatever the option I chose I keep comming back to this screen. The phone don't start normally anymore. The bootloader is unlocked and I never locked it before finishing the installation as I read it can brick the phone, still I'm stuck here. I tried everything I found on the internet (removing the battery and waiting etc). Fastboot commands work fine. Adb commands obviously does not. I'm kind of desperate... Any ideas ?
Thanks a lot in advance !
Better late than never.. when in fastboot mode run command:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=a
Then reboot.

Thanks ! I had already done this without result.
But I solved it by flashing FPOS to get out of the bootloop and flashing iodéOS after.
All the steps here if it can help someone.
