So, here I was thinking things couldn't hurt to do some customisation.
This evening, I flashed a custom logo... using fastboot. (fastboot flash logo logo.bin)
That was the last thing I saw on my device, it won't show anything anymore.
Any advice on how to get any connection to my device again?
Right... So as before I found the solution myself.
I used the BROM to reflash the logo with the proper image.
For whoever wants to know. I used the MTK bypass utility to bypass the authentication stuff, and the SP Flash tool to flash.
I did have to use libusb-win32 for the python part, took me some hours to figure that one out. All sources told me UsbDK would work for that.
Kind of relieved I actually managed to unbrick my phone.
Did you get solution?
As mentioned in the post right before you; yes.
Hello,
I'm a beginner in the field of flasing custom roms but I would really like to abandon using google on my phone and find your work here really awesome. So yeah, I hope my question doesn't sound stupid but I'm seriously stuck and hope I didn't completely break my phone.
I am using a Redmi Note 8 (2021) and wanted to flash lineageOS. So I unlocked the bootloader via my mi account, booted into fastboot mode (usb-debugging was of course enabled) and tried to flash twrp to recovery using the cmd-window via platform-tools.
This didn't work because when I typed:
./fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I got the reply:
Sending 'recovery' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.743s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'This partition doesn't exist')
fastboot: error: Command failed
I therefore started googling and found a threat on xda where someone had solved the problem by replacing 'recovery' with 'boot':
./fastboot flash boot twrp.img
What I got was:
Sending 'boot_a' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.818s]
Writing 'boot_a' OKAY [ 0.827s]
Finished. Total time: 2.681s
After that my phone was bricked. I cannot enter recovery mode anymore and even fastboot mode appears a bit different (I don't see the bunny anymore, all I see is the word 'fastboot' in orange letters on a black screen). When I enter fastboot mode, the device is detected by my computer - the only sign that still gives me an inch of hope. When I'm not in fastboot mode my phone keeps vibrating and then turning of, then suddenly it vibrates again and turns on, the logo 'redmi' appears and then it suddenly turns off again - and it just keeps repeating this procedure.
I downloaded the mi flash tool and tried to flash the Xiaomi ROM, but that didn't work either - after about five minutes of waiting I get an error. I tried different versions of MIUI but keep getting errors. When I try to flash the Xiaomi ROM via cmd-window, as suggested here ( https://www.droidwin.com/unbrick-redmi-note-8-fastboot-commands/ ) I get this:
fastboot flash xbl_a xbl.elf
Sending 'xbl_a' (3449 KB) OKAY [ 0.105s]
Writing 'xbl_a' FAILED (remote: 'This partition doesn't exist')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Is there anything left for me to do or should I give up and save money for a new phone?
I would be very, very grateful for help
You could try this: fastboot --set-active=b

Your cut and paste was a fail. The command you entered was to boot twrp, but the "error" returned occurred after "SENDING BOOT.IMG". Quit screwing around and flash the full factory image first and try to get it to boot to System first. Report any errors.
Crap, I see what occurred. Sorry to bother you, someone else replied and told me what to do and that work and he wasn't Richard cranium about it. Thanks for your response.
Today i tried to install custom rom on my realme 3 pro and i was successful in doing it, later decided to revert back to stock Realme UI so i downloaded the Ozip from official site of realme, flashed it using twrp and rebooted......
Device is not booting to the system instead it is booting back to Fastboot mode and i even tried booting to recovery from fastboot and it is coming back to fastboot mode..
tried flashing recovery image from fastboot and it is throwing error
./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Sending 'recovery' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.424s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
what ever command i try to pass, i am getting the same error...
HELP NEED ASAP please...
I am new to flashing custom roms, and I got lineage running but I wanted to try Evo X, when I tried flashing through lineage Recovery it booted back into lineage, ok, so I erased all datat through lineage recovery and installed TWRP. I got that on but within a few clicks of messing around I found myself with no recovery or OS and im only stuck in fastboot, I have no idea how to get out of it. mods take this post down if posted in the wrong community. I just though this would be the best place to post it. I am new to XDA, I have these ADB logs from the command I was trying to run
C:\Users\user\Desktop\platform-tools_r31.0.3-windows\platform-tools>fastboot boot C:\Users\user\Desktop\platform-tools_r31.0.3-windows\platform-tools\TWRP-3.5.1-lemonadep-Nebrassy-2.img
Sending 'boot.img' (196608 KB) OKAY [ 4.500s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error')
fastboot: error: Command failed
I have no idea why it keep failing, I would greatly appreciate any help to get my phone working again.
Try the following command :
fastboot flash boot lineage-recovery.img
Once that is done, boot to recovery from fastboot and try flashing the rom you were trying to.

I tried this and when I click to restart into recovery it just boots back into fastboot, this is what ADB says after I use the flash boot command

I guess you should try msm tool then
Go for msm tool. You can find a tutorial for 8pro on YouTube. Follow the same steps( obviously with the correct op9 pro firmware.

I have gotten msm tool and my firmware, but nothing is showing up in msm when my device is connected
ive linked a screenshot of what my msm tool looks like, im just so desperate to get my phone back
Power off phone, position mouse cursor o er start button on msm tool, hold down vol up and down simultaneously, plug phone into computer wait a quick second and press start. That should work.

Instead of going for msm tool, when your stuck in fastboot, after successfully flashing an .img (Twrp, losrecovery ) use:
"fastboot --set-active=b" (when you're active in slot a)
Then reboot to recovery.
Basically it flashes okay but to the other slot. Happened to me too. I am now booted into the system on slot b. Hope it helps

hello guys i am facing that same issue but my own show slot_b and then i try to use your step but still not work help me plizzz
Googled the error you have. Check this post (and following ones)
[SOLVED] - Bootloop with completely new OPO9pro after oem unlock
Hello, just received the phone (EU), updated latest online udpate. (no Google account etc added, just fast setup) Enabled developer options, OEM unlocking and USB debugging. After update, 1*reboot. then another reboot to bootloader, and executed...
forum.xda-developers.com
I think you should start over and use "fastboot flashing unlock" instead of fastboot oem unlock.
Follow the link in that thread. Droidwin has the best tutorials for oneplus you'll find. Never had this error myself, so can't say for sure what to do.

Try this

I guess you have used a wrong recovery file, maybe one for another device
The problem is that the command 'flash recovery' does not work, because it says th partition does not exist....

wrong forum ! , see Biloba forum
on some devices, boot+recovery are on the same partition, but not for Biloba
boot partition (+dtbo on some cases) is the kernel
i think you should look for official install of miui rom since it has IMG of most partitions ...

Use this tool:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
First off: don't go punching in commands you don't understand.
You literally flashed an incompatible image to your boot_a.
You could try and set the active partition to b using: fastboot --set-active=b.
Other option, if you have the firmware image for your boot partition, flash that image to boot_a.
you only need to flash the original boot.img from firmware lol it's so easy
