Alright guys I have never been able to flash any kernel on this phone at all. It always gets stuck on bouncing dots or sends me back to TWRP, Any suggestions? Here is how I flashed:
My steps to get TWRP + v4 Root + ElementalX v08 kernel all working together.
------------------
fastboot boot boot.img
Code:
C:\Users\xx\AppData\Local\Android\sdk1\platform-tools>fastboot boot boot.img

TWRP installed twrp zip.
Rebooted to TWRP.
TWRP installed v4 root.
Booted to OS
Verified root is working properly.
Booted phone to downloader mode.
fastboot flash kernel elementalx-0.08.zImage
Code:
C:\Users\xx\AppData\Local\Android\sdk1\platform-tools>fastboot flash kernel
elementalx-0.08.zImage
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'kernel' (19538 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.570s]
writing 'kernel'...
OKAY [ 0.600s]

fastboot reboot
Code:
C:\Users\xx\AppData\Local\Android\sdk1\platform-tools>fastboot reboot
rebooting...
finished. total time: 0.050s
Noticed root was not working.
Rebooted to TWRP
TWRP installed v4 root.
Rebooted back to OS.
Root + kernel + TWRP all installed and working fine.
Followed these instructions to a T and got everything working minus the kernel but when I flash any kernel I get pushed back to recovery? For some reason I have never been able install a kernel....... Any ideas I have not been able to flash a kernel since I got this phone. Any suggestions as to why or what I could try?
I believe its
Fastboot flash boot_b or boot_a boot.img look in fastboot mode which boot slot you have a or b
So I have been trying to flash the Pixel Factory Image, I have used the most recent SDK Platform Tools and I still can't get past the boot loop. I also have tried to flash the TWRP recovery but I am getting this:
Code:
C:\Users\MyName\Documents\Pixel\minimal_adb_fastboot_1.4.3_portable>fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.0-0-sailfish.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

OKAY [ 0.828s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Flashing active slot "_b"

finished. total time: 0.938s
I have even tried but the bootloop is still there:
Code:
PS C:\Users\MyName\Documents\Pixel\minimal_adb_fastboot_1.4.3_portable> ./fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-sailfish.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.727s]

Hi !
I'm trying to install the custom recovery TWRP on my LG G4, the "fastboot flash recovery (file)" command works :
Sending 'recovery' (6002 KB) OKAY [ 0.166s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.067s]
Finished. Total time: 0.292s
But then the "fastboot boot (file)" command doesn't ! It says :
Sending 'boot.img' (6002 KB) OKAY [ 0.144s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
By the way when I try to enter into recovery mod using the power+volume down method it asks If I want to do a factory reset, If I say yes it does it, if I say no it just boot normally, no recovery mod.
By bootloader is unlocked, I checked using the "fastboot getvar unlocked" command, and I have the "your device software cannot be checked for corruption, lock the bootloader" screen.
Do you guys know what's the problem ?

Thank you for your help, I managed to make it work
I am trying to install LOS 18.1 a Nokia 6.1 TA-1043. I have unlocked the phone and put it into download mode. Following the instructions here I then did
$fastboot flash boot lineage-18.1-20220208-recovery-PL2.img
Sending 'boot_b' (36933 KB) OKAY [ 0.958s]
Writing 'boot_b' OKAY [ 0.314s]
Finished. Total time: 1.382s
However, from there I can't get into recovery - the phone hangs at the "androidone" splash screen.
I can boot an unofficial version of TWRP with
Code:
fastboot boot
, so maybe that is the way to go.
However I would be interested in knowing whether any one has succeeded simply by following the official instructions.

Dear all,
I'd like to install LineageOS on my Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite (monet).
I'm following the instructions here : https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/monet/install.
Everything is going well until step "fastboot flash recovery <recovery_filename>.img".
I type "fastboot flash recovery <recovery_filename>.img" and everything seems to be good.
Sending 'recovery' (131072 KB) OKAY [ 4.907s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.571s]
Finished. Total time: 5.484s
But my phone does not power down. And when I try to reboot into the recovery mode (Volume Up + Power), the fastboot screen appears instead of recovery mode.
I also try with "fastboot boot <recovery_filename>.img".
Sending 'boot.img' (131072 KB) OKAY [ 5.044s]
Booting OKAY [ 0.154s]
Finished. Total time: 5.266s
The phone turns off and I reboot into recovery mode with success. I apply "Wipe Data" and go back to Main Menu after, as described.
But I don't find the "Apply Update" option.
Thank you for your help.

Use platform tools instead of Minimial adb and use the flash recovery command, it should work. and be careful if you need to disable
dm verity, i don't know Mi 10 Lite but yup

I downloaded and used platform tools as described in LineageOS Wiki. And then, I used windows cmd for the adb and the fastboot commands.

Use this brother: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
you probably used Minimial ADB, it's the same but just use Platform tools (The one's i just sent)

You are using the wrong command bro, don't use boot. Use "fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery.img". Why are you flashing recovery.img as boot bro?
OK guys I've found my mistake. I thought the model of my phone was Monet. But it's not. It's Toco... A stupid error showing that I have to be more rigorous.
I thank you again for your help. All the best for xda.
See you
