I have tried and tried to root my Pixel c but always fail at the fastboot flash recovery twrpname.img step. It just hangs on the PC side and onnthe android side says waiting on command.
I have unlocked the boot loader, done a adb reboot bootloader. I have turned this on windows 10 and ubuntu. But nothing seems to work. My version of Android is 7.1.2. I have been using the latest TWRP download.
Help!

Ok, my nexus 7 this morning had just randomly started to not respond to any touch. I restarted the device by turning it off and on again with the power button, and it stuck at Google logo. I can go into bootloader, but not recovery. If I try to go in to recovery, it gets stuck at Google logo again.
The device is stock, didn't even unlock it. Fastboot devices returns the serial number, fastboot oem unlock pops up the screen if I want to proceed, at which point I click no because I don't want to wipe the drive yet. I've tried Nexus Root Toolkit to boot into temporary custom recovery to make a back up, but doesn't work. NRT live log is as follows
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and then times out.
Since i couldn't connect it with my computer with USB debugging on, the drivers might not have installed correctly, although I did try installing the drivers with NRT. Currently my laptop doesn't recognize the device. It does make sound when I connect the device, but it doesn't show up in device manager at all.
Any pointers please?
Hi all.
After OTA upgrade to android 6 of unlocked unrooted nexus 7 2013 WiFi i decided to unlock and install twrp.
I used adb and fastboot to flash version 2.8.7.
It went smooth but after reboot to recovery, twrp shell returns "can't mount *" for all partitions. And the device is bootlooping into this state (unless I boot into bootloader).
The worst part is that my pc wont recognise the tablet when connected. Adb devices returns an empty list. So i cant even flash stock recovery or do anything uing adb/fastboot.
HELP!!!!
[solved] falshed factory image manually using fastboot
It seems fastboot recognized the device while adb/pc couldn't.
I downloaded Android 6 factory image from google and flashed-all that.
Just updating in case some other noob who doesn't fully understand adb/fastboot relations.
I'm now on my 3rd day of trying to get Twrp installed. I've unlocked the bootloader after fighting with drivers for a couple hours, finally got that. As for recovery it keeps saying its successful but upon trying to boot into recovery I get dead android red triangle which I believe means it's not flashing properly. Any help would be appreciated. I've also tried windroid with the same outcome.

If you have your drivers for fastboot, adb correctly installed you can download a twrp image from twrp.me for your watch.
Then, after you allowed USB debugging simply type:
adb reboot-bootloader followed by
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and
fastboot boot twrp.img.
I assume that you renamed the twrp file to twrp.img and that it is in the same working directory like fastboot.

Thanks! I got it a few days ago. I was rebooting instead of fastboot boot recovery.img command. This watch is making me learn a little.

I just got my OnePlus 3 last week and I am having some issues trying to root it. Initially, I was using Win7 and could not get anything to work (phone was never recognized - yes drivers were installed). I went to my laptop with Ubuntu 16.04 and had some success. I was able to unlock the phone; however, when I tried to flash twrp.img (and recovery.img), I kept getting a fastboot permissions denied error. I was using sudo and fastboot devices worked. Also, if I try "sudo fastboot boot twrp.img" nothing happens on the phone (or pc for that matter). I am totally perplexed. The OS on the phone is Oxygen 3.2.4. Thanx for any assistance.

Install all driver (1+ Mobile Usb driver and Adb)
Than Follow Toolkit Method On Xda.. Its work Fine For me... ? and Follow their Video
I had a similar problem with mine. I could flash TWRP but it wouldn't stick. Reboot the phone and try again, the factory recovery would be back. I tried every version of TWRP, adb, fastboot and the toolkit -- same result.
Finally fixed it by using the toolkit to flash the previous version of TWRP, then using TWRP to flash the latest version without rebooting the phone. With that done, no problems after rebooting system.
Now I can flash new ROMs.
How old does twrp have to be before you get positive results?
Hate to start a new thread, but I don't see what I am running into .
My Nexus 5x is unable to boot past the animation (normally it would ask for my pattern, then boot into the system). I can access the bootloader and I can access TWRP.
But when I try adb commands like adb devices I get no response.
I just use this to sideload the new OTA from google which worked just fine so I know the sdk is setup correctly on this computer (rebooted etc).
With access to the bootloader and even TRWP (3.0.2-2) any clue as to where to go from here?
If I try to use adb sideload in advanced in TWRP, I can't talk to the phone (fastboot command fail)...
Phone Bootloader is: BHZ11g
The version of Nexus should be NRD91N 7.0
Seems I have some access on my phone, but cannot send commands to it via computer.
**Update** while at the bootloader (fastboot mode) I can see response when I use
fastboot devices

Okay, I was able to recover from this by sideloading again the new OTA from google. The phone then rebooted but was wiped.
Will work from there
