If flashing recovery is unsuccessful you're best bet is to flash the sbf firmware with rsdlite , this has happened to to more than a few including me

This is what I am seeing on the screen:
Fastboot reason: Reboot to bootloader
Downloading 10090496 bytes

Flashing Recovery
Done
Everything looks correct. This is a DE phone. Does that require flashing the SBF with RSDlite?

look alot of people are having this issue it is a simple fix follow the directions step by step
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img
as soon as you type the above command to flash TWRP we need to boot the phone into recovery before we let it boot to android we can do that via the command below.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
MAKE SURE THAT AFTER YOU TYPE THE FIRST COMMAND DO NOT LET THE PHONE BOOT TO ANDROID.
right after you hit enter for the mfastboot command type the reboot command it will boot into recovery. if not i would redownload the correct TWRP recovery for 4.4
there is a link here

Step 2 should be done with Mfastboot, not fastboot.
Repeat all three steps with mfastboot and you should be good.

Like I said previously ,flash the kitkat firmware, forget jb. You can not flash back to the pre camera ota, gpt.bin is the bootloader which if is incompatible will fail, saving you from hard bricking your device

What errors are the RSD and fastboot actually failing with?
When you're trying to do the fastboot flash, does "fastboot devices" actually show your device as connected?
-----Edit----
Are you sure that is the right version of the firmware? I'm waiting for access to the files from the moto site right now so I can compare the full file name, but I'm pretty sure you have the Maxx Dev Edition firmware file there.

Flashed TWRP entering "mfastboot flash recovery twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img" OK. When I enter "adb reboot recovery" I get device not found and nothing happens. This is stopping me from rebooting to Recovery. On the phone, I highlighted RECOVERY, hit the UP button, and it booted to Android.

I rebooted to bootloader again, reflashed TWRP, highlighted Recovery, hit UP, and the screen goes black and does not boot. If I press the power button, the phone will boot to Android. That is where I am now. Something must be up with my Recovery file?

OMG!!!!!!! The problem was my utter ignorance of a new device. I spent the last two days trying to boot to recovery using the up/down buttons or so I thought. I had no problems using the DOWN button...it was the UP button (I thought the POWER button was UP!!!) This is why I was not booting to Recovery...my Droid Bionic has two buttons on the side of the phone...its power button is on the top. I am sorry for being a pain everyone and I really appreciate all of your help! I AM ROOTED!!! :highfive::good:

Are you using RSDlite? If so, you're getting this error (I think) because the PRODUCT_CONFIGURATION.xml file has instructions for other phone models besides the Turbo in it. If I remember correctly, I got around this by deleting the info for everything not labeled QUARK_VERIZON in this file. However, since RSDlite basically just automates fastboot, a better option is to use fastboot to flash this firmware, in my opinion.
If you decide to flash the firmware this way, place all of the files from the full firmware into the directory that you installed fastboot, and enter the following commands after your phone is plugged into your computer in bootloader mode:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
<repeat until all sparsechunks are flashed>
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata (NOTE: this command effectively performs a factory reset, and will erase all of your data)
Then boot, and you will have done everything that RSDlite would have done.
Oh thanks. Good info. Is there a write up on using fastboot anywhere? These forums are pretty poorly maintained and no good stickies anywhere
Edit: Oh, you edited your post. Awesome. Thanks.
The root junky fxz is that for rsd lite when I look at the contents the system image is in several sections and says system.img sparsechunk and has 10 sections. I have never seen this in an fxz. Is this a new way of flashing the system image.

Is it possible for me to relock my bootloader using adb fastboot? I don't want to do it accidentally while messing around with different roms and wiping my way back to stock.
When in fastboot, type "fastboot oem lock" (without the quotations"

Wouldn't that lock the bootloader?
Is it even possible to re-lock?
From what I understand he wants to avoid locking the bootloader...
Edit: nevermind I looked it up... Should have just done that the first time... ("I have seen quite of few people screw up their devices by not knowing what they are doing. So I am making this thread to simply tell people not familiar with fastboot what they should and should not do.
Fastboot oem unlock will unlock your bootloader and do a complete wipe of your device. As far as I know the only way for something to go wrong here is if you're device is low on battery and shuts off during the process. Either plug it in or have a "good" amount of juice left in your battery. To be 100 percent sure plug it in.
Before I get into oem lock IMHO you should only use this command for one thing only. Getting the device ready to send into motorola for the LGT upgrade or a another warranty repair or some sort. When done properly it is completely safe but there is no reason to do to go back to "stock".
Fastboot oem lock. Do not issue this command unless you are absolutely sure you have the correct software on your device. The correct software is what you get from the motodev site for your device. You need the official sofware images for your specific device AND REGION. If it is not released then DO NOT re-lock the device. If you have a OTA installed you will need to flash back to the motodev images first.")

No, that is the actual bootloader. The code that manages device startup, takes fastboot commands, and prohibits unsigned images from booting (when locked).
The splash screen is flashed with:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin

I can only speak from my experience. I was on the KitKat bootloader and used mofo to flash lollipop. I unlocked with sunshine and installed twrp. Then I flashed the lollipop bootloader with the fastboot command . Still unlocked.

hello guys. i've recently bought a M7_UL (i believe it's the unlocked, international version) that has S-OFF with locked bootloader. some people say you still can flash recovery since you're S-OFF, others, that even if when S-OFF, you still have to unlock bootloader in order to flash a recovery. well, i can't do none of these. everything is properly installed (device drivers, most recent Mini ADB and Fastboot and TWRP) but some commands such as "adb devices" (though changing "adb" to "fastboot" actually shows my device) and "fastboot flash recovery xxx.img", simply doesn't work. i've also tried the HTCdev method but "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" command gives me nothing. also tried this tutorial here --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470340 but the cmd doesn't even recognize this "echo -ne "HTCU" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796 " line. what am i doing wrong?

The first thing you need to know is that adb commands will only works when the phone is booted in a custom recovery or when booted in the rom (the "USB debugging" option must be turned on to use adb from the rom, not required when using from a custom recovery).
When the phone is booted in bootloader mode, only fastboot commands will work (and fastboot commands will not works when in recovery or when in the rom).
If your phone is S-OFF you can definitively flash a recovery even if the bootloader is locked. But the method used to flash it is different then the usual method (the "fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img" command will only work with an unlocked bootloader). You'll need to zip the custom recovery .img file with an android-info.txt file matching your phone info and flash that zip file from RUU mode.
i.e:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
phone will reboot in ruu mode, a black screen with silver HTC logo
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
where "firmware.zip" is the file containing your recovery .img file and the android-info.txt file
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
I can make you a "firmware.zip" file if you're unsure how to do it. If you need it just reply what custom recovery version you need and post your "fastboot getvar all" output so I know your phone info (hide your imei)
Once the recovery is flashed, you can boot in recovery and unlock the bootloader using the tutorial you've linked. This method of unlocking the bootloader will not wipe your phone.

none of these worked. strangely enough, commands like "fastboot reboot" and "fastboot devices" actually do something... i've tried to execute the cmd in compatibility mode, but it was in vain. tomorrow i'm gonna try all of this on my friend's PC and let you know if i have any success.
Can anyone tell me what this (remote: Flashing is not allowed in Lock State).
What exactly is locked? Is my cell OEM unlocked?
I flashed the wrong TWRP (for the 2017 Red Magic-NX209J) and even though I have been able to unlock my cell via CMD commands; it remains permanently in fastboot mode?
If I send a CMD command to reboot it reboots straight back to fastboot mode.
No form of ADB connect seems to work an my windows PC cannot see/show the cell?
How the hell do I fix this? It's been in this state for a week.
Can anyone help?
Meaby try this?
Then, to unlock your bootloader, enter "fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J"
And meaby try the recovery backup instead of TWRP.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have no recovery back up Is it possible to get past TWRP being locked and use CMD to flash the International or chinese ROM? Or recovery image?
Unless tools are developed to unbrick this device I am scared this problem might be permanent
Download this twrp, and then upload it to google drive or something so the rest of us can download it too .

Thanks but what do i do with it? Its all in an asain language?
Link not open bro
The TWRP does not work
Sorry. That link to the twrp does not result in a bootable twrp recovery for me.
I am starting to think my cell is not fixable.
I did not do that much wrong I just flashed the twrp for 2 models of red magic earlier. It only has a fastboot mode. I either get a boot screen then fastboot mode or a warning about the bootloader being unlocked.
Whatever is wrong with my cell prevents ADB connect an the cell is not able to be seen by windows.
This $1100 New Zealand dollar cellphone may be permanently bricked by my mistake.
I might just need to bin it an buy another one.
Lesson learned.
It confusing....
My cell acts like it has a softbrick (can turn off an on an has fastboot options and I have erased it an OEm an bootloader unlocked it)
And also behaves like a hard brick (resists every method of repair).
I just do not understand it or Nubia products. I am unfamiliar with this phone.
Does anyone have any clue how I can see this cell on my windows pc or ADB connect it an boot into TWRP?
Are there any Nubia repair software tools?

Thanks for that. I'm talking about using CMD to totally wipe everything in the cell an reflash the Chinese ROM that came with it. Repair software. Might take months to develop software like that.

Also it isn't a zip. It's some other kind of file. And does not boot into TWRP on my unit
So are you able to unlock your bootloader in its current state?
If you have an older TWRP installed maybe try changing the model on your bootloader command to match it:
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX209J
If this works then flash the correct TWRP and the boot IMG from your original rom
fastboot flash recovery <new recovery>
fastboot reboot bootloader

Terrapin. Absolutely nothing worked. I am the 3rd person who has had this issue I know of. 2 other xda members had the same issue. One with TWRP like me an the other got stuck in fastboot mode after trying g to flash an apk of Gapps? I think these cells do not like tinkering. But your advice enabled me to be OEM and bootloader unlocked. But always.....straight back to fastboot mode no matter what I flash? My red magic 3 device is currently at a service center with a technician trying to solve the problem. I have 3 repayments left on my Xiaomi Mi9 that has zero flashing issues. O admit i.may be ignorant of the ways of Nubia ?

Everything works again.

Thank God. Maybe the Chinese service guy I'm paying will get on xda an try your idea. I'm being lazy saying that lol. Thanks very very much. I will show your post to the service guy who has my red magic 3 or try it myself.
There's no way your a junior member working all this out. I'm a junior member listed as a senior member who makes rookie flashing errors with Chinese cellphones lol.
I will share if I can implement your ideas successfully. Thanks buddy my missus really loved this phone I felt really bad when I incapacitated it.
Fingers crossed.....
I have no idea how did you managed to flash the system.img
C:\adb>fastboot flash system system.img
target reported max download size of 805306368 bytes
Invalid sparse file format at header magi
LE: After this error, somehow it manages to continue and flash all partitions of the system, but after above tutorial, the phone still reboots in fastboot mode and cannot access recovery

Thanks for the help. I do not understand some of the commands an cannot seem to get them right? And I do not understand why the instructions say to cmd flash the image (IMG) via command prompt (which just errors like the strange NON-HLOS command?) Then the instructions say to flash the Chinese rom via otg?
Are you supposed to flash the ROM twice?
Can someone please give me some more detailed instructions as this cell has been non functional about 2 months now.
Planning to fix it an give it to my partner

My suggestions is, download a full sd card update package, unlock the bootloader temporarily,extract the update file and flash the vbmeta.img to vbmeta partion, then flash the recovery.img to recovery partition, after that, try to boot into recovery through bootloader. You have to make sure that you use all the same file from same package, if you are use a low version vbmeta file to boot a high version system (or recovery ) it will not boot. the vbmeta is very important on this phone.
Can't even fastboot flash boot recovery system...and thats all folks...waste of money.

No I installed Chinese v2.27.... Well it's absolute mess like I never seen Android before. Then attempted to flash global again, problems to the point of corruption. I have fastboot flashed all key elements of working Android phone multiple times. Can only get to fastboot after boot screen that I have to do manually. Recovery system is toast.... Guess it's back to Poco F1.... Learned my lesson from junk.
Just flash the ROM again..It will be back lm

Every time you restart back to the bootloader you need to do: "fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J" first

LMAO if you can't go from stock global to stock Chinese and reverse from the manufacturer with their recovery, you haven't got a prayer for custom roms or mods.

if you stuck in the Device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot and you are in the Chinese or global rom then flash the stock boot image via adb. well I am using a Chinese v2.27 rom with rooted +gapps and then realized that most of the google apps wont work correctly because of the unlocked bootloader. I tried to lock the bootloader via adb then the message "Device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot" show up. so I try to use adb to flash the stock boot image then it work. first place the stock boot image to the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" folder which located in the local drive under program file(x86) then run the command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

Bud I put so much effort in last 13 hours to no avail....fastboot erased all partitions, reformatted, reflashed to no avail. Right now it just boots loops on Chinese 2.27 boot splash, I do have Chinese recovery though, but the same otg adapter and pen drive that works on 5 different devices, this damn phone won't read it so even that is out of the question. I wipe my hands clean of it, some things just best to put a bullet through it.

No BS, all I did was flash CN 2.27 over NA Global, after a look at the mess it was I proceeded to flash NA Global back.....no TWRP No Root with SuperSU or Magisk. But in fastboot it does say Root=1, so I guess the CN 2.27 rooted it by default cause I sure as hell didn't. One thing that is bothering me while in fastboot unlock bootloader I can't turn Secure Boot off which I believe is why it won't boot system.

all you need to do is to fix the corrupt image so later once you finish the first step of booting to the phone then you can flash to global rom. if you have the cn version 2.27 boot.img then you can download the adb and use the command to fix the phone
Shouldn't have messed with something that wasn't broken. Now you have a nice brick to use as a paperweight. Hope you get it fixed tho. Good luck.
