!!!help!! Please

just wondering if anyone can help me out here, i was trying to flash the cyanogen 1.4 recovery image to my g1 1.6 phone using fastboot so i erased my stock recovery image, only to get the message "remote: signature verify fail" so im now stuck with no recovery image and dont know how to get it back, can anyone help me out please?

update
i get this error now... someone plz help
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1\tools>fastboot flash recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-
1.4.img
error: cannot load '/sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img'

instead of having the recovery image on your sd card, put it in the directory you're running fastboot from and just enter:
fastboot flash recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img

i just did it and it gets stuck here
ps once it sends it to the phone the phone disconnects from my comp (can no longer see it under my computer)
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1\tools>fastboot flash recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img
< waiting for device >
sending 'recovery' (4002 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'...

Have you tried putting the recovery image into the root of the SD and running a terminal command:
Su(enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img(enter)
I usually rename the .img to like cm14.img(makes it easier to type)

yeah i have but it still says it cat find the file

So you have no recovery IMG ?

yeah

Was that a "Yeah i dont" or "Yeah i do" ?

yeah i do now but i cant flash the cm 1.4 it wont let me i lost root too so i tried to root with the 1click method but its pathed so im gonna just downgrade now and re root that way

Well once you root with the one click way its gonna get you Amon-RA's recovery img witch is better then CM's recovery IMG.

ok so i tried to unroot the phone but when i try to apply the stock spl it says this
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1\tools>fastboot flash update spl.zip
sending 'update' (205 KB)... OKAY
writing 'update'... FAILED (remote: partition does not exist!)

Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1\tools>fastboot flash recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img
sending 'recovery' (4002 KB)... OKAY

THANK YOU ALL! for your great help!! seriously i hope this thread helps someone else sometime

[Q] TWRP flash via Fastboot failing

I just took my good ol' Streak 7 to update it as I see some nice JB action here. But as I understand any manipulation to be made needs TWRP to be present on device. As GooManager wasn't instaling recovery the simple way, I decided to download image and flash it via Fastboot. Yet every single time it failed to do so.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrps.img
sending 'recovery' (4822 KB)...
FAILED (command write failed (Invalid argument))
finished. total time: 0.000s
I was flashing the latest (2.6.x) version. Also my device is empty atm (had 3.2, now has nothing). Custom Recovery is CWR 5.
Need help to flash the TWRP and begin using JB roms.

YOu need to use the NVflash pack, which write the recovery.img to the correct partition at a lower level than fastboot.
The error you are seeing is due to Dell screwing things up and resulting in fastboot being able to read the partitions name value.

if so, then reboot into bootloader through twrp..then in bootloader you can flash the stock boot.img and recovery.img of the b145..
after that you should be able to reboot normal..

Try flashing SuperSU 2.42 from TWRP and see if you´re able to boot. When I installed versions newer than 2.45 I ended up in bootloop.
Edit: Sorry, I mean 2.62 is the right one and over 2.65 will end up in loop. Anyway, try 2.62.

ok..i try this way to install supesu 2.62..this screenshot is result when i reboot into bootloader trought twrp..i not understand because i have this error :command not allowed

I bricked my OnePlus 7 Pro (was stuck and fastboot) and how I fixed it

Hi, I'm writing this to guide those who faced - and will face similar situation in the future - the problem of being stuck on the fastboot screen, where the recovery or booting in EDL is not available.
So, after failing to get root after upgrading to android 10 I was fiddling with TWRP to try to get it to recognize my storage so I can reflash it and flash Magisk, but I couldn't get it to mount the storage, so my stupid brain decided to go to the wipe page and wiped everything in the hope it might magically work!! well.. it didn't!! and I got stuck in the fastboot screen and I thought that I bricked my phone for good.
after hours of searching online and trying everything nothing helped... but finally I managed to fix it.
and btw when I tried to flash TWRP by (fasboot boot twrp.img) I got the following message:
"remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error"
So here is what I did to get my phone working again:
Download and install Tool All in One
Download Fastboot ROM for your phone from here
In the Tool All in One app click on the Flash Factory Images button.
Select the ROM and let it do its work,
hopefully this will work and your device will reboot into a fresh android.

Also it's good to know that the official TWRP of twrp.me does not support Android Q at the moment, that's why you couldn't decrypt and mount the storage. TWRP in Oneplus 7 Pro thread here on XDA does support Q, you just have to remember to boot into the inactive/upgraded slot before booting back to TWRP to flash Magisk as it only installs to the active slot and not the upgraded slot.

Or just use the MSM tool. Job done

All with varying levels of interpretation, steps, descriptions, and the solution. Not all are useful.

I had the same issue and this worked perfectly to get my device up and running again. Thanks again!!

Hi all!
Here is plan B!
First of all - BEFORE you do some upgrade - make OPSwitch backup and copy to PC !!!!!
If you stuck - it's mean that something is badly damaged and wrong. Some of the files reside in the areas where upgrade tools (including Fastboot!) can't change and repair them.
We don't have time, knowledge to sort out WHAT was damaged.
We make all straight from beginning:
1. MSM tools - make your phone like from the Factory with "clean" install (ver 9 for now)
2. "FlashAll" то ver 10E
3. If you need - install "global"
4. If you need - install TWRP and Magisk
5. Restore your backup from PC
At the end you will have "clean" phone with all programs working
EASY!!!

Same as OP, I wanted to flash twrp.img.
I had my OP7Pro stuck in 'fastboot mode', I thought. It wouldn't respond to any commands from console (device not found) and I couldn't turn it off with the power button any more.
For noobs, just like me, I learned that I just had to press the powerbutton + volume up button. My phone rebooted after this.
Now making a backup before rooting and such, phew.

Sounds like you're having problems with Windows Defender. I also got the same error messages suddenly once week ago. I did sfc /scannow and all that but all files were intact. After rebooting the PC two times the problem was gone, really strange.

After an update to Android Q twrp an root was lost.
I was going the normal way like this:
1. In fastboot boot twrp.img
2. In twrp install twrp.zip
3. Reboot to twrp
4. In twrp install magisk.zip
After this the phone stuck a while on this orange splash screen and then reboot to bootloader.
Reboot --> the same effect
Then:
1. Boot into twrp
2. install twrp.zip
3. Reboot system
Everything ok, but no root
Just one method is working for me:
1. Download the full package of OOS 10.x.x
2. Extract the boot.img
3. Patch boot.img with Magisk
4. Flash on fastboot boot magisk_patched.img
5. reboot
My phone is rooted now but without twrp.
Why can twrp an Magisk not work together?
And why I can´t find any information for this problem on the internet?

Well, since TWRP lives in the boot partition on this phone, you will have to boot TWRP using fastboot boot TWRP. Then you flash the unofficial TWRP build 74 installer zip downloaded from the link below (the one from twrp.me only works on OOS 9 and not 10). Reboot phone back into Magisk to switch slot, flash Magisk installer zip which will then install Magisk to both boot slot a and boot slot b. Reboot phone and you should have both Magisk root and working TWRP.

Fails anyway
Bricked my OnePlus and now I'm left with bootloader (no os, no twrp). Everything leads back to bootloader. Any attempts to apply fastboot boot lead to "Load Error". Now I tried with that tool and ended up with this:

custom recovery flash successful, but not working

Hi
I'm on a MI 8 global version with the latest miui (dipper_global_images_V11.0.3.0.QEAMIXM_20200118.0000.00_10.0_global_515bcbba58). I unlocked the phone, did a clean install (flash_all) and now i try to get twrp to work. So i went back to fastboot mode, run the commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-1-dipper.img
Sending 'recovery' (42044 KB) OKAY [ 1.166s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.121s]

Sending 'boot.img' (42044 KB) OKAY [ 1.134s]
Booting OKAY [ 0.064s]
Finished. Total time: 1.234s
and then... nothing. It reboots to android... next try flashing and manual reboot by holding power + volume up in fastboot mode until it vibrates and the mi logo is shown. Two seconds later the screen goes black, the device (seems to) reboot and android again.
Next try was a different image (using the lineage custom recovery)... same result. And if i try to boot to recovery when the device was off with power + volume up the original recovery is shown....
I'm out of ideas.

Obviously, you did something wrong.
Try renaming the recovery that you downloaded to "recovery" with no quotation marks
Place the file in the platform tools directory
For example: C:\Android\platform-tools\
Then use these commands.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img
The commands above will flash the recovery.image to the recovery partition, then reboot then phone to recovery, you will then need to flash root.
If that doesn't work just use the Tool all in One

It seems that i "holding it wrong" but in fact it doesn't work eather.
I'm original on linux but to ensure that it's working i switched to the windows system:
* downloaded and installed "Tool all in One"
* choose correct device
* ensure device allows ADB Access to PC
* ensure unlock status in tool
* use "Recovery Flasher and Rooter"
* selected "TWRP 3.3.1 mauronofrio XMI8" with "Automatic TWRP MD5 Check" and "And boot it" options
* flashed... and nothing again....
So i downloaded the and unpacked "dipper_global_images_V11.0.3.0.QEAMIXM_20200118.0000.00_10.0_global" to C:\ and used the "Flash Factory Images" to reset the device to a clean state (again.) After the flash and the automatic reboot of the device i went manual Fastboot mode and repeat "Recovery Flasher and Device Router"... with the same result....
So definitly something is wrong

Are you sure that you have developer options setup? ADB debugging is enabled?
If you plan on staying on the stock rom that you are currently using you may need to flash DM verity. personally I prefer to use Orange Fox because it has DM verity built in.
once you are finally successful flash TWRP you might consider switching it. But be warned the layout takes some getting used to.
The latest Orange Fox is here: https://files.orangefox.tech/OrangeFox-Beta/dipper/OrangeFox-R10.1_002-Beta-dipper.zip
Worst case scenario; If you are located in the US, I can do it for you. ( just send me a PM if you want me to do it)
I have provided this service for a lot of people, you pay shipping and buy me a beer. This will take no more than 10 minutes.
If that is not an option:
A lot of people have trouble flashing TWRP, so dont get discouraged. After flashing recovery you must immediately boot to recovery and flash root then choose reboot to recovery. You may see check boxes asking to install TWRP manager, choose yes and reboot to TWRP.
A Lot of times when things fail it is due to some silly such as forgetting to rename the file to twrp or recovery when your adb command looks like this: 1. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or 2. fastboot flash recovery twrp.img my guess that this is your issue or its developer options not setup correctly. Again : ADB debugging must be enabled?
If your phone doesn't reboot in TWRP it may be overwritten by the ROM's recovery.
Unplug Your phone then Manually boot it into recovery

Yes, I am. This is not the first time i switched to lineage /cyanogen mod. I already customized a Nexus 4 (mako), Motorola Moto G (falcon), Samsung Galaxy S4 (jfltexx), Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (gts210vewifi)

If you plan on staying on the stock rom that you are currently using you may need to flash DM verity. personally I prefer to use Orange Fox because it has DM verity built in.
once you are finally successful flash TWRP you might consider switching it. But be warned the layout takes some getting used to.

Worst case scenario; If you are located in the US, I can do it for you. ( just send me a PM if you want me to do it)
I have provided this service for a lot of people, you pay shipping and buy me a beer. This will take no more than 10 minutes.

A Lot of times when things fail it is due to some silly such as forgetting to rename the file to twrp or recovery when your adb command looks like this: 1. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or 2. fastboot flash recovery twrp.img my guess that this is your issue or its developer options not setup correctly. Again : ADB debugging must be enabled?

I don't see the point why the image must have a name with only characters, but i renamed the image to twrp.img and tried:
In Android with developer options enabled (and pc allowed):
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
Now i'm in fastboot and using my zsh on linux, im on my home directory located the twrp.img:
Code:
~ fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Sending 'recovery' (42044 KB) OKAY [ 1.279s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.118s]
Finished. Total time: 1.402s
Now the command to upload and boot to the same image:
Code:
~ fastboot boot twrp.img
Sending 'boot.img' (42044 KB) OKAY [ 1.236s]
Booting OKAY [ 0.067s]
Finished. Total time: 1.341s
On device: bank screen (about 5 sec) > mi logo with unlocked symbol/text (about 3 sec) > mi logo with android symbol/text/animation (again about 3 sec) => I'm back on android.
Second try manual:
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
Flashing...
Code:
~ fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Sending 'recovery' (42044 KB) OKAY [ 1.248s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.107s]
Finished. Total time: 1.360s
Unplug the phone, pressing now together VOLUME-UP and POWER until device going black and mi logo showing and devices vibrates. => mi logo with android symbol/text/animation (again about 3 sec) => I'm back on android.

Hello,
I was in the same case like you, to resolve this issue you must install this TWRP : TWRP-3.3.1-1031-XIAOMI8-Q+Version-CN
Sorry I'm new and can't post links...
I installed with the TOOL ALL IN ON => Erase all data => recovery flasher (check only automatic TWRP...) => POWER+Volume down => POWER+Volume up very quickly => Enjoy it !
