Did you unlock your device first with "fastboot oem unlock"?

Yes i did this before, i was running on Remix OS

I don't know if this is of relevance but there were new fastboot commands introduced from Android M (?) and I have recollection about "partial unlock" - two flags required to be set and if only one was set it could be reported that the bootloader was unlocked but fastboot saw it as locked. Above may be totally wrong.
Here's the difference between old and current fastboot commands. Note the new lock/unlock commands
Code:
************************ OLD **************************************

Hi, I'm just wondering if you were able to fix your tablet. I ran into the same problem as you here and am not able to find a solution to it.

Hi !!
Sorry for bad news, but i didn't found any solution since my Pixel C was bricked. Maybe there is a solution, but I dropped it before finding it.
I hope you find something to fix it !

@viii_xvi Are you using "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" as shown in the post you quoted by -Yazh- ? The current (?) version that I can find is 1.4.3 and that looks to be "2015".
For the current versions of adb and fastboot and the revision history, 12 since October 2016, see https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html

No. I used the 15 second ADB and Fastboot installer. I'm pretty sure it works fine as I can use fastboot commands.

There are Youtube videos on installing Android Platform Tools and a web search for installing Android Platform Tools with your o/s will find many hits. You need to know you are installing just the platform tools - some of the guides assume you are installing or have installed the full Android Software Development Kit (SDK).
Assuming you are using Windows then the simplest method is to copy the contents of the zip file into the current location of your "15 second" files. This ensures that you can run the new version of fastboot with the folder path you have used previously. In file manager "find" fastboot.exe and that will give you the folder to unzip ALL of the platform tools files. You will know if you have done it correctly if you get requests to overwrite existing files when you unzip the files.

I've followed the instructions so I'm confident I did it correctly. Despite this, nothing has improved. I still can't flash the stock ROM or a custom recovery in fastboot.
What I've noticed from updating the fastboot version are some new commands I found when I entered "fastboot -h"
Code:
fastboot -h
commands:
reboot [bootloader|emergency]
stage <infile>
get_staged <outfile>
options:
--skip-secondary
--skip-reboot
--disable-verity
--disable-verification
--unbuffered
--version
From what I've tried, all the commands in options returns

Hi, Did you tried to flash with the oldest stock rom of the pixel C ? Because it uses older version of fastboot so maybe it will work. I has also the same problem as you but hopefully twrp still worked so i could flash another system image.

I have now tried to flash the earliest factory image and am disappointed to say the bootloader did not flash and so I wasn't able to complete the flashing.
I don't think the problem is the fastboot version. It may be the bootloader itself. I've read someone describe this problem as "Broken fastboot (bootloader) security." I think the problem is that, when unlocked, the bootloader would return the same messages as if it was locked. The security of the bootloader still thinks it's locked and not allow flashing of any images. Also that locking and reunlocking does not improve the situation. This would explain why, when bootloader is unlocked, I get "remote: unsupported command" and "remote: image verification failed", the same as when I try the same commands when the bootloader is locked.

I got a same problem,cant flash anything but ordinary using.
I got the problem caused by flashed twrp3.2.3,cant get into system,just always get into twrp.
cant flash any official firmware with "flash-all.bat",no matter which platform tool or firmware.but the twrp were installed before can flash anything.

I'm assuming you have the latest version of TWRP installed. IIRC, there should be "Fix Fastboot" in advanced options. If indeed you have the same problem I had, pressing this should fix the problem. I don't know anything beyond this as I never got to find out what happens afterwards.

I believe I'm not qualified to help you as I disposed of my tablet months ago. All the advice I've given is off of memory and may not be accurate. That being said, I won't help you anymore in fear of giving inaccurate information that may lead to bricking of your tablet.

I have a pixel C, flashed with latest 3-rd pixel experience before, someday i tried to flash back to factory image, hit the same trouble like this topic, i came here several times before, no solution, today, i found another article about this , it's solved my trouble.
sorry i am new here, i couldn't share the outside article link.
would like to share what i did on my pixel c.
1. root your pixel c
2. adb shell //this command could be executed under recovery mode too.
3. su
4. fwtool vbnv write dev_boot_fastboot_full_cap 1
5. adb reboot fastboot
then you could flash anything you want.

I had this just now - I finally got fed up of my Pixel C being so laggy and also chrome opening up as blank pages (I switched to brace to fix this, but it's abit crashy).
Anyhow I found that after
adb reboot bootloader
that
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
was failing for me in the "Writing" stage
I discovered that the fix was to use
adb flashing unlock
then it will ask you a question (power button to confirm and one of teh volume keys to cancel).
after this it spins with erasing for a while and then comes back to fastboot after which
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Worked, after this you get an annoying 30s delay for each restart, I think that can be fixed by
adb flashing lock
I'll verify this when I've finished flashing a usable ROM to my Pixel C...

[GUIDE] How to root your Asus Zenfone 6 without TWRP | Info about A/B

Hey guys and girls,
This is a bit of copy and paste for from my guide for the HTC U12+. I thought it might be helpful to people here too.
If you find mentions of the HTC U12+ please notify me and I will correct them.
I couldn´t find any guide on how to root the Asus Zenfone 6 without twrp yet, so I thought maybe it´s good to have one. It´s also useful for people who don´t like to boot/flash the recovery but want root access.
I also decided now to do a little write up about the A/B slot partition system.
General Information about the A/B slot partition system and seamless updates
Google firstly introduced seamless updates on the Pixel Phones and with it the A/B partition system.
So this means, contrary to non A/B devices, there are two copys of most partitions except userdata.
We have two system (system_a and system_b), two boot (boot_a and boot_b) and two vendor (vendor_a and vendor_b) partitions, amongst others (can be found further down in the partition list but let´s concentrate on these).
When booted in the OS, one slot is actively used and the other is "inactive".
The main advantage that emerges now is, that in case an OTA arrives the "inactive" partitions get updated, while the OS is running. That means while the actual OTA is happening you can use your phone just like you always do.
The following reboot will boot into the former "inactive" slot and use the seamless updated partitions. This happens seamless and just with a reboot. So OTAs are much faster!
If you are interested further here are some links:
https://www.xda-developers.com/list-android-devices-seamless-updates/
https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/ab/
https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/ab/ab_faqs
Here’s another writeup from the XDA portal!
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ess-updates-affect-custom-development-on-xda/
But here are a few tips and tricks:
How to reboot to bootloader to be able to use fastboot:
From booted OS with buttons: Press and hold power down until the screen goes black, then press and hold power and vol up to enter bootloader
non responding and the phone isn´t booting: press and hold power plus volume up to enter bootloader
From the OS or recovery via ADB (requires USB Debugging enabled in dev options):
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
How to get the active slot:
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
How to set the active slot:
A word of advice. If you don´t know what you´re doing you should probably not change slots. Because my U12+ only has a working A Slot. The B slot is without the first OTA or flashing a RUU unbootable.
Set active slot to a:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=a
Set active slot to b:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b
How to extract the boot.img from a firmware.zip
1. Download the firmware zip from here : https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-6-ZS630KL/HelpDesk_Download/
2. Follow the steps described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/how-to/guide-how-to-extract-payload-bin-ota-t3830962
3. Obtain your boot.img
How to root your phone without TWRP
Prerequisites:
- unlocked bootloader
- USB-Debugging in developer options enabled
- latest adb and fastboot binaries (can always be found here
- working adb and fastboot environment
- magisk-patched boot.img
How to:
1. Download the latest magisk manager from here and install it on your phone: https://github.com/topjohnwu/MagiskManager/releases
2. Get a boot.img that fits your current firmware. Look at the point above, how to extract it from an Asus firmware zip.
Important: if you decide to use a pre-patched boot.img (available below), download it and place it in your fastboot folder, then skip to step 11!
3. Copy the extracted boot.img to your phone
4. Open the magisk manager app and tap two times on install
5. Now choose patch boot.img file and select the previously extracted boot.img you copied to your phone in the upcoming file chooser
6. Wait for the boot.img to be patched
7. Now connect your phone to your pc and make sure usb debugging is enabled in developer options
8. Open up a terminal in your fastboot folder and make sure adb is working by typing
Code:
adb devices
into terminal which should return your serial number
9. Pull the patches boot.img to your fastboot folder via:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img
10. Reboot to bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
11. Flash the magisk patched boot.img:
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
12. Congratulations you´re now rooted.
Pre-Magisk-Patched boot.imgs
Important: Make sure to download the correct version, that matches your firmware.

Is it possible to do this and still get OTA updates from ASUS?

You need to unlock the bootloader for this which will prevent you from getting ota updates automatically from asus. But you can install updates manually.

Ok, great, thank you.

Remember, this will void your warranty (as per Asus' own definition). Sad, but true.
I would root it in an instant, but am hesitant due to warranty being void.

Any way to unofficially unlock the Bootloader?

In Europe unlocking the bootloader and rooting doesn't legally void warranty. It was ruled this way a few years ago.

The folder WW_PHONE-16.1210.1904.75-0 which is the firmware my device has, is empty. Do you still have the prepatched boot.img of that version ? ASUS doesn't have that version for download anymore.

Use Translator.

I managed to update my device using the stock recovery. (There is a option like "apply update from sdcard") Now it is on the -133 Firmware, so I should've been able to use the existing, pre-patched boot of that firmware. When I tried to flash it, I got the following error:
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
target reported max download size of 805306368 bytes
sending 'bootb' (47064 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.094s]
writing 'bootb'...
FAILED (remote: (bootb_b) No such partition)
finished. total time: 1.106s
the getvar command returns the following output:
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
current-slot: b
finished. total time: 0.009s
Do you have any advice for me ?
Edit:
After being curious and trying
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
which worked, I tried to flash it at the active slot b explicitly:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
which worked, too. I'm having root, now.
The point is, to specify the partition precisely (e.g. with _a or _b).
Thank you for the guide, maybe you could add my findings to make it easier for others to root their devices, @Freak07 .

Did you download the latest adb and fastboot binaries from the link I provided in the OP?
Or did you use already existing ones or from a toolkit/easy installer etc. from somewhere on xda?
To me it sounds you were using outdated binaries.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img detects the active slot automatically if you’re on the latest binaries. Did it like this on the zenfone like on all other A/B devices I’ve owned so far and it works just fine.

That might have been the the point. In fact, I did download them, but I used (definately outdated, because on my pc since literally years) a minimal adb and fastboot installation.
I didn't think about it, as this is my first A/B device.
I won't try it now with the latest ones, because it worked and I don't want to destroy something (since we still dont have a working TWRP for backup & recovery) but I guess you're right, and the problem were the outdated binaries.
Thank you.

Download the new Firmware from Asus and copy it to the root of sdcard. Unplug the usb cable or reboot or search for update in settings. It will find the update file and display a notification.

In fact, I tried that before I tried the stock-recovery-method (found it at the ASUS FAQ-pages), but it didn't work, even after a reboot, no notification showed up.

I used the official app, while the device was connected to the internet. So yes, ASUS knows that I unlocked the device.
The device was still at the -75 firmware, when I did it.
 @MirkoMirko9 If you can live with asus knowing that you unlocked the device, try it again with active internet connection.
As far as I know, there is no other method yet.

unable to unlock bootloader with the official unlock device tool, it is showing network error although my network is alright. Any workaround?

magisk_patched boot.img for .156 firmware is uploaded to the patched boot.imgs folder

[GUIDE] How to root it

First, I assume you know what root, fastboot, SafetyNet, bootloader, adb is ( SEARCH FIRST BEFORE DOING THESE STEPS! ) and you know the risks of rooting a device!
Me nor the XDA guys are responsible for bricked devices, nor any damage to you and/or your device.
So, after that, let's dive into the steps of rooting it
First of all is to download your stock android image ( in case something goes wrong plus the boot.img needed for this process )
You can download your stock image the way you want, you can use lolinet etc, just make sure it matches your device!
So, open the image you downloaded, extract the boot.img file and put it on the phone's internal memory, then download Magisk Manager ( I personally used GitHub to download.... ) and open it.
Now, select 'Install' ( the one that says Magisk, not the manager ), go to 'Select and Patch a file'
Navigate and select your boot.img, then wait for it to complete, after that, you'll see a file in the Download folder on the phone called 'magisk_patched.img' grab this file and put it on the computer.
The next step is that you'll need to unlock your bootloader ( I'll not cover how to do that here, but a quick search on ' how to unlock Motorola bootloader' should help ), but be aware that it will format your phone ( you'll lose any saved data, so pay attention! )
After, put the phone in fastboot mode again ( vol minus + power button ), then on the terminal window you're using fastboot, run this command:
fastboot boot magisk_patched.img
( I assume you put the magisk_patched in the same folder you're running fastboot ( Windows case ) )
REMEMBER TO TEST EVERYTHING ON YOUR DEVICE IN THIS PART BEFORE CONTINUING!!!!!
IF YOUR PHONE DIDN'T BOOT OR BOOTED BUT WITH MALFUNCTION STOP NOW AND REBOOT IT, MAYBE YOUR STOCKROM WASN'T CORRECT OR SOMETHING ELSE...
After that your device will normally boot, install Magisk Manager and check if it "says" installed and displays the version.
If so and your device runs fine, reboot again to fastboot then run on the terminal window:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
This will make the root persistent after reboots
Now as you expected, you're rooted
A bonus tip:
Safetynet will fail! To fix that, open Magisk Manager, then go to it's settings, then tap to enable "MagiskHide" and then tap "Hide Magisk Manager" type a new name for the Manager and boom, that's it, now SafetyNet will work ( In my case it did hehe )
I'm new to English, learning alone, so any mistyping etc tell me and I'll fix it
Also I'm new to XDA too hihi

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience!
Has there been anyone else who managed to root this device?
I really want to buy one but first I want to make sure I will be able to root it from day 1. I don't like to use an unrooted phone

I bought my device last Black Friday and rooted it this week with this guide.
I’ve downloaded my boot.img from Lolinet and googled how to unlock a bootloader of a Moto phone.
I’ve also enabled oem unlock in developer settings.
It’s not so difficult.
The bonus tip from the OP is very helpful. Only rename Magisk is not enough. Also hide the manager to pass the safetynet test.

It worked flawlessly!!
Thanks for the guide and advices!!

First, I assume you know what root, fastboot, SafetyNet, bootloader, adb is ( SEARCH FIRST BEFORE DOING THESE STEPS! ) and you know the risks of rooting a device!
Me nor the XDA guys are responsible for bricked devices, nor any damage to you and/or your device.
So, after that, let's dive into the steps of rooting it
First of all is to download your stock android image ( in case something goes wrong plus the boot.img needed for this process )
You can download your stock image the way you want, you can use lolinet etc, just make sure it matches your device!
So, open the image you downloaded, extract the boot.img file and put it on the phone's internal memory, then download Magisk Manager ( I personally used GitHub to download.... ) and open it.
Now, select 'Install' ( the one that says Magisk, not the manager ), go to 'Select and Patch a file'
Navigate and select your boot.img, then wait for it to complete, after that, you'll see a file in the Download folder on the phone called 'magisk_patched.img' grab this file and put it on the computer.
The next step is that you'll need to unlock your bootloader ( I'll not cover how to do that here, but a quick search on ' how to unlock Motorola bootloader' should help ), but be aware that it will format your phone ( you'll lose any saved data, so pay attention! )
After, put the phone in fastboot mode again ( vol minus + power button ), then on the terminal window you're using fastboot, run this command:
fastboot boot magisk_patched.img
( I assume you put the magisk_patched in the same folder you're running fastboot ( Windows case ) )
After that your device will normally boot, install Magisk Manager and check if it "says" installed and displays the version.
If so and your device runs fine, reboot again to fastboot then run on the terminal window:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
This will make the root persistent after reboots
Now as you expected, you're rooted
A bonus tip:
Safetynet will fail! To fix that, open Magisk Manager, then go to it's settings, then tap to enable "MagiskHide" and then tap "Hide Magisk Manager" type a new name for the Manager and boom, that's it, now SafetyNet will work ( In my case it did hehe )

yes or yes I must download the full firmware, can't find the boot.img directly?

Hi, I root the G9+ with your guide and now it's rooted, thank you for post it. I want to change te system fonts, I have some visual impediments and I need a fonts with more contrast and bold. I try with Fontster, HiFonts, Zfonts, and many more. I grant root privileges to these via MagiskManager, but without any success. It's normal that? any idea why? The rootchecher confirm that the phone it's rooted. Please can help me? Thank you and please excuse my poor english

I think u'll need to port your custom fonts as Magisk Modules, since you can't change system files directly ( even with root ).

Hi, I'm new to rooting the phone, I managed to unlock the bootloader, I did everything as in the description except the last step because the fastboot boot magisk_patched.img command did not work. So I copied the magisk file to the adb folder and typed: fastboot flash boot C: \ adb \ magisk_patched_INTjS.img. My phone touchscreen has stopped working. I'm very worried. Is it possible that I used the wrong stock image version or did I do it wrong? Now I wish the phone would just work

So maybe your stock was wrong, if ' fastboot boot magisk_patched.img ' failed then u can't force ( fastboot flash ) the installation since it'll probably cause problems...
I suggest you try to download your stock rom and re-flash the boot partition, if no lucky, try using ' Lenovo rescue and smart assistant ' and hope it works again...

Yes, I tried to enter this command but it said that it cannot find the file magisk. Tomorrow I will try to install the stock rom with RSD Lite if that's the right decision, with the help of this website: https://www.androidinfotech.com/moto-g9-plus-odessa-android-10/. If that doesn't help, I will have to give it to repaired because I won't be able to handle it myself.

Sincerely I would suggest using the Lenovo tool, it's simple to use, and guaranteed to pick the correct rom.

It's should work since it's an official tool, any news tell us. Good lucky buddy.

Lenovo tool does not work although my model exists its: G9 plus XT2087-2 error that appears: Unable to match tche appropriate firmware. Some key information cannot be read from the device. You can find my stock room here:
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/odessa/official/. Its RETEU or RETEU_PL version: XT2087-2_ODESSA_RETEU_10_QPA30.19-Q3-32-50_subsidy-DEFAULT. I am from Poland, so it could be RETEU_PL. How can I install this stock room if the lenovo tool doesn't work?

Room that I will download should I unpack to adb folder or where? Is it safe to install it yourself or is it better to go to a local phone repairer? It may be hard to find someone who knows what to do.

Yeah, as I said, u need to unpack it to the folder where you see the ' fastboot.exe ' file, and then copy all the spoiler commands I sent, put the phone in fastboot mode, and open the cmd in the folder where fastboot.exe and your extracted rom is, then paste and run the spoiler commands and you're good to go, remember that it'll take a while since it'll re-flash all your system.

Ok I will try this method in the evening when I have free time, thank you for your help and sorry for my lack of knowledge. I'm also afraid that when I install the wrong room, usb debugging will turn off, although the theoretical version number is correct.

No prob, we're all learning, and all you need to fix a device that doesn't boot, is an unlocked bootloader, since u can re-flash, I did this on a few devices ( moto x4 ; moto G5s ; moto g9+ ) and succeeded on repairing those...

Did you use the ocdt.img backed up from your OnePlus 11, or did you get it from another source? I'm asking because the ocdt.img is unique to each device, rather than being specific to the operating system.
