[Q] Razr HD Stuck in bootloop

Hey guys, love all the work that goes on in this forum.
I've run into a bit of a problem. My mate gave me his phone to try and fix after he interrupted a factory reset. It's stuck in a bootloop.
It's a RAZR HD and was originally from Telstra (Aus).
I've managed to unlock the bootloader, but quickly after that everything has gone to hell.
When I turn the phone on, it gives the bootloader is unlocked message. Then the android installation guy comes up and after about 5 seconds of trying to install the phone bootloops.
I am able to enter the Android System Recovery (3e) and have done factory reset/wipe data and wipe cache options, however does not change anything. When I press reboot system, the bootloop continues as if I did nothing. I have tried installing a ROM from an SD card however it fails at the Verifying Package stage. I am unable to adb push anything as usb debugging wasn't turned on.
I am able to enter into fastboot and can see my device however cannot flash any images from there for some reason using the fastboot commands (it comes up with a <bootloader> variable not supported! error: cannot load '[name of image file]'
I was able to use RSD Lite to flash the official Telstra ROM to the phone, however at the very end of the installation when it rebooted, it just went into the bootloop again.
Any help would be muchly appreciated.
Thanks guys!

Anyone?
I was able to get adb sideload to work (I had the wrong path name to the zip file) but still no luck...

try mfastboot and flash the partition table first, if that fails, there is no hope of saving the device. if it passes, flash the rest of the files, including the wipe command.

Thanks for the reply. When you say flash the partition table first, would that be the partition_signed file (aka mfastboot flash partition partition_signed)?

[Q] Moto g custom recovery not working

Hello Everyone,
My moto g phone suddenly started giving errors saying "unfortunately "xxxxx" not working. xxxx is like google play and many more system services. I cannot do anything as it gives the error continuously.
I was trying to factory reset the mobile and I got the error of "boot up failed". I searched for this and found out that I need to go for custom recovery(I'm new to this) to avoid this error and get my phone back to normal.
I found that I need to unlock boot loader to for custom recovery. After trying and searching a lot I managed to do that finally with the help of a thread in this forum.
From that time I tried with many img files like TWRP, CWM and philz. But, still I could not manage to get my phone back to work.
Last 3 days I was fully in to this searching and finding solution and finally thought to write here(I'm not feeling to give up on this). I can provide you with any information needed.
I read in some guidance of CWM recovery that I need to get CWM model to process further after the below command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryimage.img
Instead my screen stays with the below content for whatever .img file I pass for the above command
"Android system recovery <3e>
LXB22. 46-28. 1"
Appreciate any help or support on this to get my phone back to work. Thanks in advance

Rename the twrp or cwrecovery as recovery and copy to adb folder. Fastboot command is
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, (not fastboot flash recovery recovery image .img)

it is not "recoveryimage". I just used it for this question. I tried with many files. So, I gave the name of the file and used the command and I got the success message also in CLI saying "Okay" and finished. But no file made any difference to device.
I had a pass code to unlock my screen. Two times I was able to get the screen (Other times it become dark after loading M) and it required the authentication code I gave to enter unlock screen. and I was filled with errors showing continuously "unfortunately not loaded 'system files' ". I suspect that whether the flash worked properly because it was asking for the screen unlock code.

Trying to root, can't boot into recovery

This is my fourth failed attempt to do anything custom with an android phone (yes, 4 different phones). Why is it so hard?
I'm following some nice instructions from teamandroid.com, but I can't get into recovery. Either I get "no command", or if I flash and go into recovery right away while connected, I get "Error: failed to load kernel!"
I wasn't able to flash TWRP ("Image size exeeded partition limits") but clockwork-6.0.4.7-falcon seemed to work. Just can't boot into it. I don't know what else to try, I don't know why it doesn't work.
Can anyone help me? Just trying to root my Moto G 2015 for development purposes. thanks so much.

I assume your talking about this guide: http://www.teamandroid.com/2015/10/02/root-moto-g-2015-on-android-5-1-lollipop-with-supersu/
It is an OK guide, but you really have to read the details... did you unlock via the Motorola Bootloader Unlock page? Nothing will work properly until you do.

Yes that's the guide (xda didn't let me post the link). Yes I did unlock that way. I'm trying to follow all of the details and I don't think I've missed anything (hence my frustration).

Kind of digging up an old thread here, what is the problem you are having and what process are you using? TBH, this is pretty simple but you need the TWRP specific to your device and just flash Magisk.

There is literally two threads in general... One is for factory firmware images, and one is how to flash factory firmware images. I am not going to spoon-feed you the answer just because you won't look. Find the threads, read a bit, and try it, if you have issues post in the appropriate thread.

Help please. Im desperated

Hello
I bought a Huawei x2 and brought a Chinese rom that gave me many problems.
I tried to ask him for updates using the "dload" method but he gave me an error.
The fact is that I formatted it from Flashtool thinking that I had the bootloader open.
After trying everything, he discovered that the bootloader is closed, but now the phone does not boot because I think I have flashed the entire system.
Flash a recovery, it makes me ok but then it does not pass Huawei's logo.
I guess without opening the bootloader it will be impossible to fix it.
I can access the Fastboot mode but I do not know what to do.
I also tried to flash img from the Huawei Extractor, which had previously worked on another X2 that I had brickered.
I guess without the open bootloader it's impossible to do anything.
I need your help. Thank you

Flash this boot.img in fastboot which should still work. This boot.img is from B212 but should work on any B2xx rom. I'm not sure how else to help you when I don't know much about your device.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ss3nkPJhQrlfHRgQzBRqXxTw6N7Pmz91/view?usp=sharing

Thanks ,but now I dont have access to fastboot mode

You have to use a usb cable and connect your phone to your PC first.
Then press volume down first + power to boot into Fastboot.

I know how use fastboot but now phone cant enter in fastboot..

Boot from B212 dont work

I don't know how else to help you. If you want to ship me your device Ill get it working for you and ship it back. You should always be able to get into the bootloader to run fastboot commands.

Now I can enter in fastboot.
I tried ALL but dont works.

Pixel 4a; Failed to write to partition Not Found (stuck in TWRP, cannot factory reset)

I have a new Pixel 4a, Android 12. I want to use lineage 19.1. I try already several days to flash TWRP, sunfish_twrp3.6.1-11 or sunfish_twrp11-test3. No success. Finally I write fastboot flash boot_a_twrp.img instead of fastboot boot twrp.img. It ended up with the screen of teamwin, hanging there. Now the pixel is not booting to android any more but each time to the incomplete teamwin screen. So I tried to flash the newest factory image. No success : "writing 'boot' failed (remote: Failed to write to partition Not Found)
I need help urgently. Thanks!

I don't think you're providing enough info. "I tried to flash the newest factory image" doesn't tell useful people what you did. I'm not useful, anyway.
I wouldn't use TWRP on the 4a. I'm using LOS recovery. You can follow the instructions (read the whole thing first) here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/sunfish/install
That should allow you to do a clean install of LOS19.

Thank you for giving advice. I followed exactly your recommended web-site (Install LineageOS on sunfish, Temporarily booting a custom recovery using fastboot). From what I understand the first step is to install a recovery which in my case was sunfish_twrp3.6.1-11.img . I did not work. I also tried an older twrp.img. "fastboot flash boot twrp.img" did not work. I read and read, learned about 2 slots, without a deep understanding. Then I tried " fastboot flash boot_a_twrp.img". It seemed to work. But when I reboot into recovery it is stuck at the screen of teamwin (see attachment).
I thought to give up and do a factory reset. But there I got this: Failed to write to partition Not Found. What can I do now? Is there a way to do a factory reset to slot_b ?
If you try to help me please remember that I don't have enough knowledge to understand abbreviations.

if it goes into bootloader head over to the android flash tool and give that a try,,https://source.android.com/setup/contribute/flash

To hammered58 Thank you for this suggestion reg. android flash tool. This seems very complicated and I don' t understand some terms. I am a NOOB.
In my Pixel 4a the slot a is somehow obstructed. Can't I use slot b to do a factory reset?

Its not complicated at all,, just put you phone in fastboot, which I know you have done before , go here (https://flash.android.com) and follow the on screen prompts, select any factory image and start.

Dear hammered58, I am so thankful to you! Thank you for encouraging me to use the Android Flash Tool. I was skeptical. To undo the pop-up blocker in Chrome was complicated for me. After some failures because I was not patient enough I finally succeeded.
