fastboot error lg optimus l90 D415

So I have an LG D415 and I don't know if it's bricked, softbricked, hardbricked or whatever, i'm really a noob and would really appreciate some help, I've included a picture, that shows what pops up when I try entering "Download mode" but I've already tried flashing the KDZ files, I've tried factory resetting the phone, nothing seems to work, phone always shows 0% battery even after charging for over an hour, and so I tried getting into the fastboot commands and stuff, I extracted the laf dz from the kdz files, renamed it to laf.img, put it in the same folder as my fastboot drivers (not even sure if I have the correct drivers) I open up command prompt inside the folder, type in "Fastboot flash laf laf.img" and the following appears in cmd:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'laf' (13312 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.586s]
writing 'laf'...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.739s
I feel like I am missing something or missing some steps, I've got the laf partition, the fastboot drivers(I think) phones in fastboot mode even though at the top it says download mode, no idea as to what to do or try next, if anybody could help it would be very much appreciated...

What ROM are you using? I think you should try flashing the bootstack with recovery from here >> https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/development/bootstack-kk-l-l90-t3118632. When you flash the bootstack, recovery gets rewritten with an old version of twrp so you probably want to have an IMG of twrp to update to the latest version.

I'm not aware of what ROM the phone is using, and I don't even know if the bootloader is unlocked, or if the phone has TWRP or root, and I don't want to mess the phone up even more (if that's even possible) phone was a friends and he gave it to me, said I could keep it if I could fix it, and i don't currently have a working phone, so it would be really nice to fix this one, i'm really a noob when it comes to this stuff, but I'm willing to learn if that's what it takes to fix the phone, I also included a link that shows a picture of the information that appears when i type in "fastboot getvar all" in command, not sure if that could help you

So the first to do is run the command fastboot oem unlock with the phone connected to your computer with fastboot. Then download the latest twrp from https://dl.twrp.me/w7/twrp-3.1.1-0-w7.img and flash it with fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-w7.img making sure that you move the twrp IMG to the directory where fastboot is unless fastboot is on your path where you can just flash it from cmd in the downloads folder. After that, try to factory reset the phone and it should boot into twrp where I would flash the lollipop bootstack linked above with adb sideload "zip name here" where you put the full filename of the zip in zip name here and remove the quotes, boot into the download mode thing which is fastboot and reflash recovery with the instructions above.

How can I flash TWRP?
I've got a TWRP file named "TWRP_2.8.0.0_26.09.14_L90.img"
Tell me where to go from there, and also, the phone isn't even detected using the command "adb devices" it says list of devices and does'nt ever show anything...

Flash twrp by first moving the twrp IMG to where fastboot is and running fastboot flash recovery TWRP_2.8.0.0_26.09.14_L90.img with the phone in the download mode thing and connected to the computer.
Also, could you please re-run fastboot getvar all even if you have already run it because its output probably changed and send me an image of what it shows.

After that, run fastboot reboot recovery to reboot into recovery. Press the advanced button and then press the button that says adb sideload with the touchscreen and start it. Then to install the zip run adb sideload zipname where zipname is the name of the zip you want to flash.
After that boot back into the download mode thing to reflash recovery and then reboot into recovery with fastboot reboot recovery. After that I would flash the zips for a ROM and optionally gapps with adb sideload.

TF701T - getting FAILED (remote: Unsupport Flash Unsparse System Image.)

I've just purchased an Asus Transformer TF701T from a friend at work. It was working perfectly and I was able to restore all my apps as I previously used a Nexus 2013. The pad was running with an older version of Android 4.4.2 so I decided Id like to flash the device to get a newer version but I was unable to unlock it via the Asus unlock tool as I when I ran it, I was getting an "unknown error occurred which may be a network connection issue. Please wait and try again later" message. I tried all the usual fixes, removing my Google account, unlocking the 2 factor authentication etc, but the same error persisted. I then read a few posts and hit upon the idea to flash the firmware via the Bootloader and followed the various guides and got things setup this evening. I am using the Minimal ADB and Fastboot drivers.
So I can get the tablet to the bootloader screen without issue, with the 3 icons RCK, Android and Wipe Data and it responds fine to fastboot commands, even reboot works. So I entered the following after getting the UL-K00C-WW-11.4.1.30-user.zip firmware 11.4.1.30 from the Asus website (it used to have WW 11.4.1.17) and unpacked to my ADB folder. These are the commands I used which are all successful:-
fastboot erase system, fastboot erase recovery, fastboot erase userdata, fastboot erase boot, fastboot erase misc, fastboot erase cache. So far so good!
However, the penultimate command fastboot -i 0x0B05 system blob results in the error in the subject (exact copy of the output below)
Now the tablet just comes up with the Asus logo and in red "Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x00000000)." and only changes if I force it into the bootloader again. I can move between the 3 options ok.
Is there any way of recovering from this? is the problem that the tablet is still locked? I'd really appreciate some help if possible, thanks in advance Martin

Follow the guide here https://forum.xda-developers.com/tr...f701t-nvflash-unbrick-solutiontested-t3742848 and use the NvFlash TF701T Unbrick tool, you need to do a bit of prep but it worked for me

Problem with on-boot password led to partial brick, need help [r13]

Hey guys,
I dun goofed when trying to do a routine backup.
First off, I'm trying to recover this without wiping, as I have some 2FA apps and other things that have secret keys that can't be recovered unless I can decrypt the darned thing
Rebooted into TWRP in order to do an image backup before I upgrade from arter97's kernel r13 to r14.
When TWRP comes up, it surprises me with a password prompt (instead of pattern unlock which is what it should be)
Reboot to system to remove encryption and then fix the password issue, greeted by "To start Android, enter your password" prompt, again instead of pattern unlock
Tried the numbers-to-pattern trick, no luck. Basically locked out of the phone now
Booted back into TWRP, while looking around for other options, accidentally chose "Slot A" which has gotten me stuck back on the old recovery
fastboot commands no longer work properly (see below)
Sometimes the commands hang, and I need to ctrl+c and re-run. I get very inconsistent results, as you'll see below
Code:
D:\adb>fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-cheryl.img
Sending 'boot.img' (23120 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (Too many links))
fastboot: error: Command failed
Trying to re-flash the kernel just hangs:
Code:
D:\adb>fastboot.exe flash boot arter97-kernel-r14-20200428.img
Tried switching to Windows Terminal/Powershell and got slightly different error:
Code:
PS D:\adb> .\fastboot.exe boot .\twrp-3.2.1-0-cheryl.img
Sending 'boot.img' (23120 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error))
fastboot: error: Command failed
PS D:\adb> .\fastboot.exe flash boot .\arter97-kernel-r14-20200428.img
Sending 'boot' (30176 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error))
fastboot: error: Command failed
PS D:\adb> .\fastboot.exe getvar all
getvar:all FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error))
Finished. Total time: 5.004s
PS D:\adb> .\fastboot.exe --set-active=a
PS D:\adb> .\fastboot.exe --set-active=b
fastboot: error: Device does not support slots
PS D:\adb> .\fastboot.exe --set-active=q
Slot q does not exist. supported slots are:
a
b
PS D:\adb> .\fastboot.exe --set-active=a
Setting current slot to 'a' FAILED (remote: 'Invalid Slot')
fastboot: error: Command failed
PS D:\adb> .\fastboot.exe --set-active=b
Setting current slot to 'b' FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
I'm sure the TWRP image is still there in slot b, but I can't get it to switch back.

Update:
I tried running the `fastboot --set-active=b` on a different (older) system which did finally work and allowed me to switch back over to TWRP, but I'm still having that decryption issue.
Anyone know why the encryption would suddenly switch from pattern unlock to "password" and how I could fix it?
Edit: After doing some more research on here, it sounds like my phone may have OTA'd itself to MR3 which may be the cause for the password issue.
Got an idea that I hope will work, which is to use the factory MR2 image, and comment out the lines for wiping data. Maybe that will bring it back?

System integrity is compromised error after restoring using Moto smart assistant.

I've had my Moto G6 rooted for some time now. An ota update for PPS29.118-15-11-16 was continually nagging so I uninstalled Magisk and installed it.
Upon reboot when checking for updates I now get the following:
As your device system integrity is compromised, it is no longer eligible for software updates. Please contact customer service to re-program the device with official software.
I tried restoring to factory using Lenovo Moto smart assistant and that worked as it should. I still get the same "System integrity is compromised" error. I was under the impression that this would be reset upon doing this factory reset.
How would I get this message to be removed as I don't ever remember seeing it when this phone was rooted all this time.
Thanks

If I downgrade back to my last version PPSS29.118-15-11-9 the "System integrity is compromised" is NOT present.

Installing magisk seems to allow the ota updater to NOT report the "System integrity is compromised". As for stock, no dice.

without Magisk = system recognizes your unlocked bootloader
with Magisk = unlocked bootloader is hidden and OTAs and OEM-Unlock toggle are enabled, even SafetyNet check will pass.

I know this thread is old but I have the exact same problem.
I also restored stock roms from PPS29.118-15-11-16 using Smart assistant. I was already at this version, but I did the update anyway, as I have read that the smart assistant rescue would completely restore the phone to stock condition. But this didn't clear my "System Integrity..." message.
Just fyi, I actually ran the smart assistant commands manually... The SA failed to update my phone so I reconstructed the commands from the xml file and executed them one by one to find and fix this problem.
I re-ran the standard rescue after this and it was fine.
I noticed that my oem lock/unlock switch is enabled in my system->developer settings ( this was greyed out before).
Thing is, I do have magisk installed , as I wanted to root the phone. But this doesn't clear the message as it did for the OP.
I saw another article (thread) that recommended issuing "fastboot oem lock" twice, followed by some (re)flashing of the oem, system, and boot img files, and one final lock command. See "Using Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant to restore stock rom (and lock bootloader after)" by alexmaisa.
But the article by alexmaisa is from 2019 and is for a G5S....
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

With magisk installed it's quiet normal.

That's the correct way to relock your bootloader. Just follow the output lines in your cmd after executing fastboot oem lock.

Thank you for the input. My bootloader was locked so the lock commands just reported this. When I ran the subsequent commands I got an error about unable to flash (bc the bootloader was locked)..... I thought maybe the original post had a typo so I switched to two "unlock" commands as the first commands. This unlocked me, and all the subsequent commands completed OK, including the final lock. But after setup I still have the System Integrity msg when I check for s/w updates under System menu.
The original post was from 2020 so possibly my version of Magisk (24.3) is the cause.?
I have most of what I want; latest stock ROMs and phone is rooted... just want to clear the problem with s/w updates.
I found another command set that that flashed the boot, system and oem twice.. I have cut these commands below. Unfortunately I don't recall where I got the bat file. It was called FLASH_OEM_LOCK.bat. Again these commands issue a lock command followed by some flash cmds which I thought would not work with the bootloader locked? Does a lock command not take effect until after reboot or something? Anyway, here they are:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

@pdpantages That's the way to relock the bootloader and get the status "oem_locked":
1. Flash the current complete firmware
2. !!! THIS STEP IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!
If your bootloader will be relocked successfully after these steps, you won't have any options to fix errors! So, this is your last chance...
Important functions to check: are you able to boot into system, mobile (data) connections, Wifi
boot into system and check everything's working fine.
3. Are you really sure everything`s fine?
4. *** The following shows fastboot commands + output for a better understanding of what we are doing here. I took them from the last relock of my Moto G6 ***
Reboot into bootloader and run these commands:
Code:

Thank you kindly for the into. The notes in particular clarified things for me quite a bit, and I understand that issuing the unlock commands as I did was incorrect. I will try it shortly and report the success or failure of my attempt.
My bl is currently locked- my intent is to unlock it (2 commands) , let the phone reset and boot, verify with "fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability" that it is in fact unlocked, and start your procedure from there...
Thank you again for the help. I expect your post will be helpful to others too.

So I did as promised. The basic answer is that it worked as described. A few notes follow; things I wonder about and error msgs I saw.
Procedure: Not exactly as outlined above; my boot loader was locked so I issued some unlock commands:
rigel:/home/pdp/adb>fastboot oem unlock
(bootloader) invalid boot state
OKAY [ 0.006s]
Finished. Total time: 0.006s
rigel:/home/pdp/adb>fastboot oem unlock
(bootloader) invalid boot state
OKAY [ 0.001s]
Finished. Total time: 0.001s
rigel:/home/pdp/adb>fastboot flashing unlock
(bootloader) WARNING: This command erases all user data.
(bootloader) Please re-run this command to continue.
OKAY [ 0.001s]
Finished. Total time: 0.001s
So, I got errors trying oem unlock but "flashing unlock" worked and the phone booted when I entered the second one. Not sure if this is an issue or not.
Errors: I got a "not found" error with each img I flashed. I was a bit nervous about this as it looked like partition names were "not found". But despite this, the commands appeared to work so I carried on.
rigel:/home/pdp/adb> fastboot flash boot boot.img
(bootloader) is-logical:boot: not found
Sending 'boot' (22528 KB) OKAY [ 0.901s]
Writing 'boot' OKAY [ 0.381s]
Finished. Total time: 1.675s
In the end, everything worked as expected- the "System Integrity..." message was gone from the Software update setting, and the also the boot-time warming about unlocked bootloader was gone (I have seen many posts claiming it is not possible to clear this message).
Magisk: After all that, I still wanted to root my phone... I thought i would be able to install Magisk using twrp.
I tried booting into twrp recovery using adb (not flashing recovery.img ) but this didn't work. So in the end I unlocked my bootloader again. (required the unlock key) to install Magisk.

with Magisk = unlocked bootloader is hidden and OTAs and OEM-Unlock toggle are enabled, even SafetyNet check will pass.

I was hoping the above would apply to me but it didn't; I now see the "System Integrity message" again in my software update settings. It is manageable- if I really want a software update I now know how to revert the phone to stock. Now that I am rooted I can make backups with Titanium Backup which was my primary motive for rooting in the first place .
Thank you again for the help, WoKoschekk , it is much appreciated.

It seems to be an issue because oem unlock does work for me. But as long as your bootloader is unlocked it does not matter.

This is related to the new fastboot versions that are used to flash devices with a partition /super. It contains /system, /vendor and some others and they are called "logical partitions". Moto G6 does not use a /super partition and you can ignore that check by fastboot.

What to do with a fully cleansed phone?

My attempt to install a custom rom has failed horribly and I'm left with a wiped phone. Is there a way to reinstall EMUI? Or still somehow get a custom rom?
I flashed lineage-19.0-20220211-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvS.img on system, but although there was no error message it didn't seem to do anything.
It's a LLD-L31

Maybe, in fastboot mode run commands :
fastboot oem get-build-number
fastboot oem get-product-model
fastboot getvar vendorcountry
fastboot oem oeminforead-CUSTOM_VERSION
fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION
and post the results.
Some might fail, so don't worry about it.
If you want to flash GSI custom ROM , look here or here .
(ANE and LLD are basically identical devices).
Btw, I'm running LOS 19.0 by Andy Yan on ANE-LX1, works like a charm...

I don't seem able to get into fastboot anymore, only TWRP 3.2.1-0 boots. The menu "Reboot - Fastboot" leads back to TWRP and running "adb reboot fastboot" from console as well.

- Try the following: turn off your phone, press and hold Volume Down and connect phone to PC.
- Can you boot into eRecovery? (turn off, connect to PC and press and hold Power & Vol Up). If so, try to update phone via Wifi and option "Download latest....".

Okay, try the following:
1. Download Service ROM
Unpack it, there's a dload file in Software folder. Copy dload as it is to the SD Card (without unpacking it!)
2. Download TWRP 3.2.1 https://mega.nz/#!tkcTlATI!A8UJGPBGtxJbLcUOJoxCGJj5PFZXzCnjbb3OkwqKTP8
and copy it to SD Card
3. also copy to SD stock Recovery_ramdisk-9.1.img , download here:
https://mega.nz/#!M0FHlYhb!4yWz8Onr3D1NATel4mZSK4SNdd5B3p6dnPg6oXPGWl8
4. Boot into your TWRP, select storage - SD Card, select "Install image", find TWRP-9.1 file and mark eRecovery, swipe. Go back, find recovery_ramdisk-9.1 file , mark Recovery, swipe.
5.Turn off the phone, use option 'Power Off' in TWRP's menu.
6. Press and hold Power & both Volume buttons .

Sorry to bother you again, just wondering if you have any advice. I tried flashing LineageOS 17.1, but realised that the bootloader is locked again. My unlock code doesn't seem to work anymore (check password failed) and I figured it's because I have to downgrade EMUI 9.1 to 8.0. Took me a while, but turns out that was not the issue.
Do you happen to have any idea what to try? Do I have to buy another DC Unlocker license?
I don't know if it's related, but "adb reboot fastboot" just reboots the device and I have to use the volume down key to get there.

Unlock code is permanent. Is OEM unlocking turned on in Developer options? (FRP unlock on fastboot screen?)

Turns out the problem was copy/pasting the unlock code instead of hand typing it..
So I could flash it, but then the reset failed. Just realised that EMUI 9.1 is a requirement though, so I'll flash that first and try again.

Edit: Nvm fixed it. Sorry if you got a notification anyway.

1. be sure that your bootloader is unlocked, try to unlock it again
2. In fastboot mode run command
fastboot erase system
and try to flash GSI again
3. Install TWRP 3.2.1 gaguga edition, in TWRP select Mount - mark System, go back, select Wipe > Advanced > mark System > Repaire or etc. > Resize file system > confirm, reboot .
Then flash back stock recovery and try to install GSI.
4. Downgrade to the lower build number via dload method
5. idk...
