What version of boot loader do you have? If you already flashed the boot loader of 5.0.2 and you are trying to flash older system images that error appears.

I Just bought this phone yesterday and it was 5.0 when i got it. Then i updated to 5.1 and the BL version is 60.14 now . I tried to back to 5.0 so it showed this error.

you really shouldn't downgrade unless you know what you are doing.
Is the bootloader unlocked? Can you get into bootloader mode?

Yes, they are synonyms. I would install Motorola Device Manager to your PC and let it attempt to repair your phone.

If you are only trying to flash small sparsechunks, have you tried flashing using the latest version of fastboot from Root Junky's site?
http://rootjunkysdl.com/?device=Adb Fastboot Files
Go into developer options and enable OEM unlocking. Then try it.
Edit: Forgot you said you were bootlooped. Can you install the 5.1 image again?

When you are in recovery, what does
adb devices
show you? Of course when you open the cmd window you have to navigate to a folder where adb.exe and the other required files are stored in order to use adb commands.

No I mean, connect your phone to your PC when you are in TWRP. Then open a command window. Then navigate to where adb.exe is stored - i.e, at the command prompt type in cd c:\[fill in the directory where adb.exe is stored]
then when you are at the proper directory, at the command prompt in the command window type:
adb devices
then hit enter.
It should return the serial number of your device.

Download any version of the firmware available on the Razer developer portal then run the flash-all script. Once that's done, flash boot and system images separately on both partitions just to be on the safe side. Your phone should be able to boot normally after that. Just run setup, flash arter97's kernel, boot into TWRP and try to enter your lock code (odds are this'll fail), then reboot into TWRP, this time your password/lock code should work, then flash Magisk

Running the flash_all script just throws it into that shutdowns again and keeps going into it anytime I go back into fastboot mode.
also gives me this
Code:
C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>fastboot devices
my S/N fastboot
C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>flash_all
C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>set fastboot_cmd=fastboot
C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>fastboot flash partition:0 gpt_both0.bin
Sending 'partition:0' (44 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (Invalid argument))
fastboot: error: Command failed.
or is just sits there likes this:
Code:
C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>adb reboot bootloader
C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>flash_all
C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>set fastboot_cmd=fastboot
C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>fastboot flash partition:0 gpt_both0.bin
In that case, fastboot flash each part individually under both partitions (where applicable) and you should be back to stock

I can use "fastboot devices" and get my devices serial number back along with rebooting the bootloader so I don't think it's a driver issue. Out of options and could use some help. At this point I can't even get the factory images to flash.

This topic is great, but I'm afraid many of us would totally miss the information in here, do anyone has the will to turn the information here into a little "how to TWRP" guide as a topic here? That would be awesome!
My device is Redmi Note 10 5G China and the EEA rom flashed. Using twrp will get stuck in the logo and cannot enter.
Before that, I can start twrp using China rom. I'm still looking for reasons

P.S. Does anyone know how to compile twrp for Android 11? I need a little help

i suggest for now stay on stock recovery. you can root phone installing magisk via fastboot. and the only way to try custom rom is flashing the gsi ported generic rom. the nippon gsi telefram group have a lot of gsi. but my advice is wait miu13 update. most of gsi have audio incompatibility. but if you like aosp roms this is the only way. mtk full custom roms for our device dont exist
