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

So I tried to flash another rom by flashing TWRP and unlocking the bootloader, which worked and I then had installed Freedom Os. Then I locked the Bootloader to get the Message away, but know when you charge it or turn it on it is in an boot loop which repeats the Oneplus Logo what you normally see, but very short and after that it bobrates turns the screen off and it atart again. Or I can go into fastboot mode, but when I try to go into the recovery, it goes into the Boot Loop again. Is there a way to get the Original OS back? Ive already dopwnloaded it but I cant get in on there. Can you tell me how to fix it on my own?
[GUIDE] Mega Unbrick Guide for A Hard Bricked OnePlus 3 > METHOD 1
If you can access fastboot mode, connect the phone to a PC, then go to ADB and erase recovery using the command " fastboot erase recovery" and install TWRP 3.0.4-1 using the command " <fastboot flash recovery <recovery.zip/img> again.
Once you do that, boot into TWRP, go to wipe and wipe everything. Once you do that, transfer the stock OOS into the internal memory using copy-paste , then go to install , select the transferred file to install the OS or else go to advance setting in TWRP and select adb sideload and use the command "adb sideload <filename.zip>".
This should install the OS on the phone.
If you want to go complete stock, then you also need to install the stock recovery. Search the forum to get the relevent files or else you can download it from the OnePlus website and later on update to latest OS via OTA.
NEVER EVER LOCK THE BOOTLOADER , IF YOU'RE USING ANY ROM OTHER THAN STOCK OS AND STOCK RECOVERY

Connect your phone to the PC and then navigate to installed folder, right click holding SHIFT key and select "Open command window here"
Inside command window type
adb devices
If all the drivers are installed properly, you should see you're device ID here.
then type
adb reboot bootloader
your phone will enter fastboot mode.
then type

So i've downloaded the software, installed the driver and typed in cmd adb devices "adb devices List of devices attached" is returned, so it seems like there is going something wrong. Is it because the Driver is installed wrong or because "target reported max download size of 440401920 bytes
sending 'recovery' (22605 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.528s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.551s"
This is returned when trying to flash. Do I have to be in fastboot mode or something else to be able to follow your instructions? In Fast Boot is written that the Device State is locked and Secure Boot is enabled. I messaged Oneplus and hope they have a solution which can just unlock the Bootloader when being in fastboot mode, so everything is fine again. I hope you can help me, but I still wanna say thank your for now

Thank you, but it dont works because i forgot to re-enable the oem modification and usb debugging in freedom os, maybe there is an option to do this without having this enabled but I didnt found it. So I wait for a helpful answer from somebody here or from Oneplus, I consider sending my smartphone to oneplus to let them repair it if I cant do it. Just saying that modding an S3, Asus transformer pad and nvidia shield is way easier.

Yeah I'm sorry I can't help you in your case. I'm just stating the fact. Sorry if I offended you.
Shouldn't it still be possible to reflash the properly signed official updates? TBH I never had such a problem and thus never had to cope with it. Same with recovery: http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/recovery_op3.img Try flashing this one with fastboot. It's the official one. By flashing this one you might fix your stuff over adb sideloading the official full update zips.
Try the unbrick guide provided in the 2nd post to your query. It should definitely help. Better contact OnePlus tech2 support and they'll flash your phone for you. They're really helpful.

The MSM Software disconnects the smartphone while the process works
U cannot flash in adb while the bootloader is locked, u can not unlock the bootloader unless u can access ur OS, I am not sure y people was trying to get u to flash via fastboot the answer was provided to u in the 2nd post
^^^ This!
It's pretty much obvious fastboot flash will not work with a locked bootloader.
It's pretty obvious unlocking the bootloader will not work, while one can not access the OS.
Unbrick tool is the only option to bring it back to life, or sending it for RMA. If unbrick tool fails, try using different drivers and make sure it is connected with the stock cable (I've only tried with a Nilkin cable besides the stock one, which always failed at different stages during the process).
Not even sure drivers must be installed manually, I've never done that myself on Windows 10, as they were automatically installed (3 different's PC's, both on x86 and x64).
Which version of stock firmware did you last have? If it was 4.0.1 or earlier, then you can use
Code:
fastboot oem 4F500301
to issue a flash command even without unlocking the bootloader. If you are on that, then use that command and flash stock recovery and then flash stock zip.

Hello. I have a Boost Mobile Moto G Fast. I got the RETUS firmware from here for saving my phone
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/rav/official/RETUS/
The only fastboot command list I found doesn't work. Does anyone have the correct command list to flash this firmware? Also, do I need to be in fastbootd to flash it?
I can't reach fastbootd after installing twrp. 'fastboot reboot fastboot' now sends it to TWRP. Tia for any help!
Update: I flashed the stock recovery on there and I can now get to fastbootd again, so whew!

Hello, @cnoevl21. So sorry I took so long to get back to you. I need to update my notification settings or something. After what happened to me in this thread, I believe that fastbootd resides in the stock recovery. If you are running TWRP as your recovery at the moment, I'd recommend moving to the directory of the extracted firmware files and running the single "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" command while your phone is in fastboot mode. After that try "fastboot reboot fastboot" again and see if it puts you into fastbootd. Please let me know if that works for you because that will help to confirm my suspicion. This is my first time seeing fastbootd as well, and I wondered the exact same thing. But no, you just run the same fastboot commands just as if you were in regular fastboot mode. Good luck and I hope it works. It did for me.

First of all you downloaded the wrong Stock firmware for the Boost Mobile version of that phone, Boost Mobile variant doesn't use RETUS Firmware, it uses the Boost firmware here:

Good night.
I have been using for a few days the YAAP custom rom for android 11 on my 7T, and it's been great. But I wanted to root it for some customizations and tried to flash magisk through mauronofrio's unnoficial TWRP. After trying to flash through it, my phone bricked. I can't get into fastbootd mode and the
HTML:
fastboot getvar is-userspace
command outputs "no", so I couldn't re-flash YAAP normally. I tried using the MSM tool for the 7T but I was also not able to boot into EDL mode. When I try to boot into it through the vol up/down mode, it reboots into bootloader again, and the
HTML:
fastboot oem edl
command returns FAILED (remote: unknown command).
I can flash twrp, but when I try to flash the YAAP zip, it shows me an error.
It shows signs of life, as it gets caught into the OOS boot animation loop, so I know there is a way around it, but I am having trouble figuring out how.
Would anyone here know how to circulate this issue? Or has been through something like this?

If you are getting as far as the boot logo then you might be able to format data and try it
can't you reboot to EDL from fastboot?
fastboot reboot EDL ?
You said you can't use the MSM tool. Have you tried the regular all-in-one tool here on the forum?
Try fastboot boot twrp.img, format data and reflash the custom rom?
I'm just throwing ideas out here they may not be the best lol

Can't. I have tried it before. fastboot reboot edl says the command is unknown, and the existing command (fastboot reboot emergency) throws me back to the bootloader.

Hello,
I hope this is the right section for this post.
I've been using a Note 8 Pro with zero issues until one week ago when I accidentally dropped the phone in the water.
After a few seconds submerged the display turned off and I felt an intense heat coming from the zone of the battery.
Having no chance to recover the phone (tried with Isopropyl Alcohol too) I decided to open it and manually dry/clean each component, having seen the situation inside gave me the phone is dead but I still want to recover some pictures/data from it.
Before opening the open Minitool was not detecting any device on my Windows Laptop, after cleaning each component Minitool is instead detecting the phone via USB, but I still can't extract any data because the "Usb debugging" option is not tuned on (and no the device is not rooted).
Is there any option to extract data from the phone? There's a way to turn on USB Debugging via ADB on a non-rooted phone?
Thanks,
Andrea.
how about trying your luck with a service ? most of the time they do have access to special programs, which have a better functionality than adb.
Thanks for the hint, but I am not happy with the idea of someone playing with my data
1. Try reboot phone to recovery
2. Connect it to your computer (download Platform-tools)
3. In the folder with Platform-tools open cmd
4. In cmd - adb shell
5. cd storage/emulated/0
6. ls
7. Now, using the commands, drag files from your phone to your PC
Thanks for your hint.
No luck so far, I think because the phone is not in recovery mode.
I can hear the phone starting up several times (hear the jingle) so I think it's in a reboot loop and I don't know how to boot it into recovery mode wo a working display (tried with power/volume up combination with no luck).
From the windows taskbar I can see that the phone is recognized for a few seconds before it restarts.
EDIT: trying to switch the phone on with the combination "power/volume down" brings to a kind of stable state and I can now see the phone in the windows taskbar recognized as a generic "android device". Still no luck when trying to access the phone as there's no device in windows and no device obtained through "adb devices" command.
EDIT1: I think that the phone is in "FASTBOOT" mode. If I type "fastboot devices" I can see it detected but still can't access it.
Any idea? Should I give up?
If it's popping up and down you need something to keep track.
You can try my UsbLog.exe (in the sig), it just sits there and shows what devices appear (if they have a driver) and disappear.
Try these to see if anything is working:
Code:
C:\>fastboot devices
C:\>fastboot getvar all
C:\>fastboot oem device-info
Yes it's popping up and down when it's booted in recovery mode whilst is stably connected when in fastboot mode but in this case I can't access the internal memory of the device.
I didn't get the purpose of logging the devices connecting to the USB as I can see the device connected for a while and correctly recognized as Redmi Note 8 pro but as it keeps popping out windows have no time to show it's folder.
As for the code you wrote: i will try asap but already tried with "fastboot devices" and I get the phone correctly listed but still can't access its memory as told.

After rebooting the phone in fastboot mode I can see it recognized as a generic android device from windows (still can't access the storage folder of the device).
fastboot devices----> I get the device listed with a series of numbers/letters
fastboot getvar all---> I get a list of information on token/token version/partition type and size/baseband/bootloader etc.
fastboot oem device-info----> FAILED (remote: unknown command)
So I think it's clear that the device is in Fastboot mode and instead is in a boot loop when started in revocery mode.
Is there a way to extract data from fastboot mode?
Thanks,
Andrea.
If you put a custom recovery on it in the first place you can try reflashing recovery from fastboot.
Fastboot doesn't allow you to read anything.
oem device-info is obviously an oem command that might not be on any device.
You've got a Mediatek processor. That has some low level equivalent to Qualcomm EDL, but I have no experience with that.
If you can get there you can download the user data partition, but it's probably encrypted. Also no experience with that.
The easiest is if you can get the system to mount/decrypt the partition.
You've tried the normal system too?
Is this A/B? Have you tried changing slots?
How much time does it stay up in recovery? Do you have ADB? Maybe try:
Code:
# stop recovery
Does that prevent it from looping?
So I should try to flash a custom recovery like TWRP for example?
What you mean with "normal system too"?
Changing slots you mean changing usb port?
It stays in recovery less than one second so I can't give any command via ADB.
EDIT: cant' flash any custom recovery because the bootloader is locked.
If I Try to unlock the bootloader via MiUnlock I get a warning saying that all data will be erased.
Any idea on how to unlock the bootloader wo wiping all the data?

Thank you very much.
Now I am going to try to flash a custom recovery mode via fastboot in order to access the internal memory of the phone.
EDIT: I've just flashed twrp-3.6.2_9-0-begonia.img but still can't boot into recovery mode.
Any hint on how to extract data from the system now?
You really want to boot the normal system because that's the best way to get decrypted data.
I realized that you don't have ADB enabled there.
You should look at B. Kerler's https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient/
If you can pull the boot image off your device then I might be able to fix it so that you have ADB.
You'd have to flash it back in fastboot or mtkclient.
You can also pull a copy of userdata off the device with mtkclient.
As far as booting into recovery, there's a way.
Here's how, if you don't have A/B (that is you flashed TWRP into recovery and not recovery_a or recovery_b)
then you can fastboot flash a special file into the misc partition and it wil boot into recovery next reboot.
To return things to normal you have to flash the empty file to the misc partition.
Code:
C:\>fastboot flash misc misc-rec.img
C:\>fastboot reboot
Only do this if you don't have partitions that end in _a or _b
I really don't know if I have partitions A and B as you mentioned and I think there's no way to check actually.
I confirm I don't have "USB Debugging" active on the phone.
So if I understand correctly I should do the following:
- Flash misc-reg.img via Fastboot
- Boot into recovery just rebooting the system after flashing the above file;
- use MTKclient to dump userdata or boot image to enable ADB on (I will need help with mtkclient I suppose).
Is it correct?
EDIT: flashed TWRP first and misc-rec then rebooted via Fastboot/Reboot but nothing happens.

Hmmm, I am almost sure that the TWRP I've flashed was listed under Redmi Note 8 pro page. Can you please indicate more precisely where should I sera
EDIT: I think I've downloaded and flashed the correct TWRP file.
@Renate can you please detail your method so I can try to extract data from the phone?

1/Yeah it's official. You "flashed correct TWRP." Downgrade to Miui Android 9 (_9 in it's name) to boot into that TWRP and lose your data.
2/In unlock bootloader video above, search other video in his channel playlist and find TWRP video suitable for your Miui version.

Can't find the right video, can you kindly send me a link (I am on the latest Miui version and I am in Europe)?
In all the videos I've seen on his page he is using the device to install TWRP etc.
I think I just need the correct TWRP version for my MIUI release and then I'll flash TWRP and misc-reg.img. Is it right?
