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.

How to flash ALE-L21 ( P8 lite) from fastboot mode

I can not enter a normal download mode ( to reflash) the P8 lite. So the only way now( I think ) is to use a fastboot mode ( That is the only that works. now) But fastboot &rescue mode screen says PHONE LOCKED.
I already use a minimal ADB and fastboot application but do not know what to do next
Can anyone give me a clue how to continue?
Thanks

Enter fastboot mode and try to use Hi suite, hope it helps.
The 3 button combo, try to press all of them, when phone boots release power button but continue pressing volume one's.
Also don't forget to have the firmware update.app in dload folder on the root of sdcard.

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

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:

@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.

It happens on Moto G6+ devices but not on our device.

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 version is installed on your Windows system? If you don't get any "error" like that you are not using the latest version of fastboot. SDK Platform Tools

Question Pixel 7 stuck on Fastboot Mode trying to reactivate Magisk after OTA update

Hi everyone!
Today I finally decided to update my Google Pixel 7 to the latest version of Android available, so I followed the instructions here. Just to clarify, my phone was rooted with Magisk and it was running TD1A.220804.031.
After some trouble installing the latest OTA, the phone booted correctly. Then I patched the init_boot.img with Magisk and after flashing it on Fastboot, now it's on a loop.
It doesn't matter if I select the options "Start", "Restart Bootloader", "Recovery Mode" or "Rescue Mode", they all take me back to Fastboot Mode. Do you know if there's anything I could do to fix this? (And maybe without wiping the data, if possible?)
I also tried opening Pixel Flasher, but it doesn't detect any device. It always says:
2022-12-06 05:04:20 Scanning for Devices ...
No Devices found.
2022-12-06 05:04:20 No Device is selected!

Thanks!

What I would try is make sure your sdk is up to date and check your device manager to see if the drivers are installed right for fastboot. You can do 'fastboot devices' to list what's detected. The Google USB drivers are easy to find if not just tell it to update the driver from a local folder. Then take the stock boot.img from the latest zip and fastboot flash it

I've checked and apparently I've got the latest versions. Android Studio shows me the latest version of the Android tools is 33.0.3.
Bash:
$ adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41
Version 33.0.3p1-android-tools
Installed as /usr/bin/adb
Bash:
$ fastboot --version
fastboot version 33.0.3p1-android-tools

fastboot as is detects "something" even though it's shown as a webcam
Bash:
$ fastboot devices
************** USB2.0 UVC HD Webcam
I can confirm that is the phone because it's the same number as one of the previous calls I had done with adb (and the one I can see on the phone's screen)

That's the wrong command. If you are trying to flash the stock init_boot.img, the command is:
fastboot flash init_boot init_boot.img
