if no boot loader you have to use unbrick threads.
If you had a flashed back a stock recovery and boot.img if on rooted mm bl with giovix modder tool , you could've downgraded via sd card and stock recovery ..in my link below
There were 2 different cm 13s , one with mm bl and one based on 5.
.

Unbricked
So i unbricked the phone! Everything was success! xfstk worked then i got the 4 color screen and after that the bootloader!
Extracted the .raw file and then flashed using commands, but when the phone tries to reboot, it gets stuck on the ASUS logo! waited half an hour for that! Service center people say that its a motherboard problem! Any advice ?

Phone now boot into fastboot but not system

Hi
I was trying to install Lineage OS on my device, but I failed, now the phone does not have TWRP anymore, and when I power up, it goes into fast boot only.
I have done quite a lot of work to save my phone, and the last thing that I did was download the stock fastboot rom and run flash_all.bat from it.
(I can not get the Miflash tool working on my PC because when I startup the program, it asks me to download 5 drivers, but it failed to download and throw me an error)

First of all - if your phone boots to fastboot, there seems to be a problem with your bootloader or kernel.
To fix that, you need to reflash aboot.img and boot.img via fastboot.
Boot.img depends on the version, you want to install. Copy both files into your fastboot folder and
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash aboot_a aboot.img
Code:
fastboot flash aboot_b aboot.img
Now your phone shouldn´t stuck @ fastboot anymore.
Ok, to save your data, you could try to boot twrp:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
If you´re lucky, it can decrypt your data - then you can backup data and internal storage...
If it´s not able to decrypt, you need to install twrp.
To install a fastboot rom without miflash look here
I suggest you to install caf-kernel via twrp. Sometimes your phone boots up with it - magic

Thanks, will give it a try.
Just for my knowledge, what are these boot_a and boot_b please? they relate to the two sim slot in this device?

Boot.img from fastboot rom... To be flashed in partition boot_a and boot_b. Our device is a AB-device. That means all partitions are doubled (except of data). If your system breaks, you can switch to the other slot by "fastboot set_active a" or b if you are on a.... Btw perhaps that fixes your phone too! Boot twrp and you can see which slot is active (under reboot)

Rooting Motorola G6 Play gone wrong

Hi everyone,
I bought a Motorola G6 play model XT1922-3 type 374B and wanted root acces on this device.
So I started by succesfully unlocking my bootloader using the following tutorial.
After this a started tried to root the device using this tutorial.
This tutorial doesn't link to boot images anymore so I was able to find the moto-g6-play-jeter-patched-twrp.img somewhere else.
I did the following things:
- reboot to bootloader [Succesfull]
- fastboot boot moto-g6-play-jeter-patched-twrp.img [Unsuccesfull]
The device did boot the twrp image but I was unable to interact with it in any way. I couldn't swipe or press buttons.
I made a short video to show this.
I wanted to retry the whole thing so I did reboot to bootloader but then I accidently entered the following command:
fastboot flash boot moto-g6-play-jeter-patched-twrp.img picture of command prompt
After this I wasn't able to normally boot my device. When I try to do so the screen goes black and says n/a in the left corner.
Please does anyone know how I could either be able to boot my normal stock rom again or to have a rooted rom?
Kind regards Sven Onderbeke

Hi Sven,
This isn't going to be the most advanced reply, as I'm not very experienced with this stuff either, but it seems you have accidentally flashed your twrp image to 'boot', wherever that is, which is why the phone isn't able to boot to system.
Can you still boot into bootloader and recovery (twrp)?
If so, then I'd suggest using fastboot to flash a sock or custom ROM. I'm not sure exactly which one though, you have basically the same model as me and that seems to use the JETER ROMS a list of which are over here (can't post links yet, so you will just have to search on mirrors . lolnet . com /firmware/moto/jeter/official/ or remove the spaces
I seem to have somehow lost the partitions on mine, but will start a new thread question about that.

Just flash a stock boot.img to boot. Then just flash TWRP to recovery. In TWRP, format data. Type yes. Then reboot recovery. Then Use TWRP to flash magisk. Done.

Hi again Sven,
I just wanted to let you know that I just downloaded the following RETAIL ROM
ALJETER_RETAIL_9.0_PPPS29.55-35-1_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
and used the following fastboot commands, one at a time.
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot reboot
Which rebooted into bootloader so pressed "start" and all booted fine now. It looks like we have the same device, so hopefully that will work for you too.

Just to stay on tha safe side, where do I start?

Hello, my first post on RN8PRO Section, but I am on this forum since I bought this device five months ago. Rough times!
But now we have some custom ROMs, and I want to test some on this beast. Bootloader already unlocked. Now I have some files here (linux):
- twrp.img (AgentFabulous)
- lk.img
- preload.img
- vendor.img (begonian, 871MB)
What I need to be sure, is the correct order of flashing everything. Do I:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot flash preloader preloader_begonia.bin
fastboot flash lk lk.img
fastboot flash lk2 lk.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot reboot
Press volume UP + power until Recovery, then flash ROM???
Is this all? Am I forgetting something?
P.S: SP Flash Tools and Global Stock Android 9 ROM already download, just in case
Thanks in advance

Preloader should be the first just in case and then lk, and to enter to fastboot or recovery vol up + pwr, and then choose one

Can't flash TWRP after 11.0.12.0

Hi, I was on 11.0.11 and after flashing 11.0.12 from TWRP
miui_GINKGOGlobal_V11.0.12.0.PCOMIXM_912960e1fc_9.0.zip
I can't flash TWRP
twrp-3.4.0-1-ginkgo.img
in fastboot mode even though there isn't an error
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.4.0-1-ginkgo.img
Sending 'recovery' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.564s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.277s]
Finished. Total time: 1.868s
if I try to boot into recovery TWRP isn't there, it's on stock recovery. My bootloader is unlocked if it isn't obvious.
If I do
fastboot reboot recovery
after flashing TWRP, it doesn't boot into TWRP but instead into normal phone mode, not recovery.
If I do
fastboot reboot recovery
after flashing TWRP and then keep pressing the recovery key combo (PWR+VOLUP) it doesn't boot any recovery, it just keeps rebooting

bring me to a different screen, the one that says "Redmi by Xiaomi" instead of the one with the little thing with the communist hat tinkering with Android but it's fastboot again, no TWRP.
Flashing it to recovery is the same as the official, rebooting to normal phone mode and if I do adb reboot recovery it gets me to stock recovery, not TWRP

Well the misc.bin from your link is 8KB, the misc.img from fastboot rom tgz is 8MB
It sucks because mi flash tool erases data...
EDIT
THANK GOD,
fastboot erase misc
fixes the destroyed problem and lets me boot.
I figured it out from the bat script in the tgz fastboot rom, it doesn't flash the contained 4MB misc.img, it just has "fastboot %* erase misc" near the end
Problem that I can't flash TWRP again so I can't root :/
