flash the partition file with "Mfastboot", then re-flash the stock file with only the partition, tz, and getvar(you may not have this) removed.

There's only one fastboot command to flash recovery.. What exactly are you doing to flash? What happens when you press volume up at the dead android. Please be as descriptive as possible.

Fastboot "Command not Allowed"

Hi!
I am trying to flash my Xperia L which is already rooted.
I got my "unlock bootloader key" and not when I try to unlock it with the key it says-
FAILED <Command did not succeed.>
Second time try the same statement again and it says OK!
After that when I try to flash a recovery it says-
F:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery

It is able to write a kernel's boot image however, but then it doesn't not even boot. (Even the screen doesn't turn on)
I will be thankful to any help!

Yes, I've tried flashtool and it gives same error. I didn't try running cmd as administrator but I doubt it would change anything..

hmm you have this problem with other kernels? also try fastboot flash boot philztaoshan.img

You can't use fastboot with recovery command.
Xperia doesn't have recovery partition

I guess that may be the problem because everything was working fine. Until I had to flash a custom recovery like Philz through fastboot.
I didn't know the command so I searched for a general one. I used "fastboot flash recovery recovery.zip".
But there is one other thing that when I tried to install Thunderzap Kernel through Flashtool my phone even stopped showing SONY splash screen and just vibrated trying to boot!
Please tell me the correct procedure to flash custom recovery through fastboot in Xperia Phone.

As far as I know there are 2 recovery that can be flashed to FOTAKernel partition.
TWRP compiled by rohan.purohit and Phil ported by sdt.
The only method to flash FOTAKernel (recovery) is via adb shell or terminal emulator.
See TWRP thread at Original Dev section

just flash thunderzap 4.14 and cm12. extract boot.img from tz zip and go into fastboot mode on your device than simply flash extracted boot img with flashboot

your command is just wrong... even if you flash recovery you have to flash it as kernel in xperia devices
fastboot flash boot boot.img
is the correct command eg:
fastboot flash boot c:\recovery.img

Hard bricked? Can't get into recovery, can't unlock bootloader

Hello,
I think my XT1541 (16GB/2GB Retail GB) with locked bootloader might be hard-bricked.
I was running the stock 5.11 firmware when I did the 6.0 update and since then my phone is stuck in a bootloop.
Motorola won't repair it because I had to replace the screen and the phone is out of warranty.
I can access the bootloader but if I select recovery mode the phone just keeps bootlooping and I can't get into recovery.
I followed the instructions here to flash a stock firmware using fastboot. All the steps complete successfully but after rebooting, the phone is still stuck in a bootloop and I can't get into recovery.
I wanted to install a custom recovery but I'm unable to unlock my bootloader because of this error:
Code:
(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.
FAILED (remote failure)
Obviously I can't check that option as the phone won't boot.
So, is it hard bricked? Is there anything I can do to get my phone to work again?
Thanks a lot for your help!

How many system images do you need to flash? Sometimes there can be more than 6, sometimes there can be fewer.

If u are bootlooping when trying to enter recovery , then prolly the recovery is the issue. I'd suggest flash the recovery.IMG again and then proceed with flashing the rest of the .IMG files.

I tried that and it didn't work. When I try to go into recovery mode the phone keeps bootlooping.
One thing I noticed is that when I try to format cache or userdata I get this error:
Code:
$ fastboot format cache
formatting 'cache' partition...
Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw'.
FAILED ()

I think there might be something wrong with the file system in my partitions. How can I manually format my partitions?
Thanks,

man , if you really need recovery, type fastboot boot recovery.img . It will temporaily boot you into stock recovery. Wipe cache and data there

I was running 5.1.1 when I got the notification for the 6.0 update.
I've noticed that trying to flash 5.1.1 firmware with fastboot gives me errors (preflash validation failed) while the 6.0 work "fine" (i.e.: I get OKAY after every step but then the phone is always stuck in a bootloop).
Thanks!

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DOWNGRADE BOOTLOADER.IMG OR GPT.IMG !!!!!!! DONT FLASH LOLLIPOP VERSION OF THOSE FILES ON A DEVICE RUNNING 6.0
plz tell me u didnt flash those files..

Well I wasn't sure what version I was running to be honest so I think I tried to flash the gpt.img from 5.1.1 at some point but it failed with the preflash validation failure. I've always only flashed the 6.0 firmware files.

Yes, no luck unfortunately.
I think I might have flashed the 5.1.1 bootloader after all - is there any way to recover from there?
Thanks,

Bump!
Does anyone have any other suggestion please?
Thanks,

Last bump
I'm going to sell this on eBay as non-working then unless someone comes up with a clever solution?
Thanks for your help!

Try flashing once more starting with the gpt.bin (that should hopefully take care of raw partition error) and skipping the bootloader altogether. Also, may be worthwhile to try mfastboot.exe instead of fastboot.exe.

I have this same issue, but I haven't flash 5.1.1 Files, I Only tried with 6.0 Brazil Retail.
I also tried to flash gpt to get rid of the "raw" partition, everything goes ok but still displaying that error. Anyone can help?

I got the same problem with my Moto E 2015... If I find a solution I will reply it in this topic..

magisk module than HALFBRİCK

ttps://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/themes/magisk-aod-lockscreen-weather-mods-oos-t3847008
OPENBETA3 I installed this module magiskden to my oneplus 6 device installed in rom. I installed the system backup from twrp (bluspark v9.85) before installing.
When I set up the module and restart it, the screen was opened and closed, it was not possible to enter magisk manager.
Twrpye and I said 'restore system'. When the Restore process was completed, I said reboot system and went into fastboot mode.
I can't boot to the phone and write twrp. Fastboot is entering mode every time I restart.
I need to save my data. I don't want to flash fastboot rum.

I think there is no way without msmtool. I had the same problem when I tried to restore backup.

This isn't related to the module and seems to happen whenever I try to restore /boot or /system using TWRP. This is easily fixable by flashing the original boot.img

Is there any other solution than flashing the factory rum? At least if I twrp, I would back up internal storage.

You can try flash the boot.img like paphonb said. I didn't knew that and used msmtool. But I saved my data before restoring in twrp so I didn't lose anything just a lil bit time
