You may be using an outdated fastboot binary. Try with the fastboot from the Android SDK.

I suggested that because older fastboot versions, among other shortcomings, had only a 512mb buffer.

Device stuck to the HTC logo... HTC One Mini

Hi,
I was trying to install the cyanogenmod 11 on my device. I have successfully unlocked the boot loader and installed the clockworkmod recovery, but I copied the zip files into the sdcard instead of the root folder. When I tied to install the cyanogenmod 11 from the recovery mode, I could not find the zip file in the device, so I powered off my phone thinking I could start again, but when I have turned the phone on the screen was stuck on the HTC logo.
And now I do not know what to do. Can you help?
Thanks in advance !

Did you wipe the device prior to install? Can you still access bootloader and recovery?
If you can get into bootloader, what version of HBOOT does it say? What version of CWM are you using. BTW, in my limited experience TWRP is better for this device. Version 2.7.1.1 works well for me.

Yes I did wipe all the data, but I did not installed the pack. I turned off the device.
I can access the bootloader but if I try to get into Recovery it brings me back to the bootloader menu.
The HBOOT version is 2.22.0000, and I have installed the CMM. 6.0.3.6
I have tried to install the TWRP but it did not work.

6.0.3.6 is really old and problably not compatible with your current configuration.
what do you mean TWRP didn't work? Does it not flash? What message do you get in command window when you try to flash it? If it does flash, can you enter TWRP?
HBOOT 2.22 means you're likely on a new partition layout, that was released around April of this year. You shouldn't use any recoveries or ROMs that were released before summer. And with ROMs, you should find out if they are for new or old layout before you flash them.

Yeah TWRP doest flash, and I got something like that: recovery.img cannot/won't start. I believe I had the wrong version.
I was thinking to delete the current custom recovery and to install another one...

When you flash a new recovery it will overwrite the existing one.
What message exactly do you get when you try to flash twrp?
Is fastboot working properly? Does it say Fastboot "USB"? When you type Fastboot devices in command window, does it show your device?

Fastboot simply isn't finding the file for whatever reason. can you post a dir of the C:\Android\Unlock Folder?
Do you have Windows set to not show file extension in Explorer? You might want to change it to show extensions to make sure the TWRP file is being saved with the .img extension.
Another thing to try would be to rename the twrp recovery file to just "recovery.img" to reduce the number of variables.

ok. cool. Now...once you enter recovery, you need to see if ADB works, or do you have an OTG device? Either way, you need to download a ROM to your computer then either push it to your device using ADB or OTG. I'd probably start out with this stock ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...-official-stock-sense-6-rom-firmware-t2817921) so you can boot back into OS. Once you can boot into OS, you can make a TWRP backup, then flash CM or whatever else you want.

Pixel 3 stuck on Google boot screen after rooting to Magisk

I unlocked the bootloader and rooted with Magisk following this guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-3-unlock-bootloader-root-magisk/
Since than my phone is stuck on the Google boot screen.
I'm able to get the phone into fastboot mode and initiate 'fastboot update image' or 'flash-all.bat' unfortunately the restore fails every time on this step: Sending sparse 'vendor_a' 1/2 (262140 KB) FAILED (Error reading sparse file)
I'm out of options and pretty desperate, please help!
I'm using a Pixel 3 64GB (unlocked EU edition), Laptop is on Windows 10. The phone and laptop are connected with the stock USB-C cable.

Flash the stock boot image to both slots with fastboot. You can extract it from the factory image you downloaded.
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

Hi Robocuff,
Thank you for your suggestion.
I successfully managed to perform the boot_a and boot_b flash. Afterwards I restarted my device and retried to fastboot the original image and again the process fails with the same error. (Vendor_A FAILED (Error reading sparse file).
Any suggestions how to restore the device? And safe my day ?

Did the boot flashes complete successfully? If so, did you allow the phone to attempt to boot to the OS after you restarted it or did you just reboot directly to fastboot mode? Flashing the stock bootloader should have fixed the issue of the phone not booting. That said, if it still won't boot after flashing the stock bootloader, make sure your fastboot files are up to date. Outdated files can cause issues like you're having while flashing the factory image. You can get the latest files here. If that doesn't do it, try a different usb port. Also cables can sometimes be a problem so you might want to try another cable also.
Flashing the stock boot image to both slots, boot_a and boot_b should solve the problem. I don't think it's a bootloader issue. The boot image includes the stock recovery as well as the kernel.

Yes the boot flashes where performed successfully and I tried to start the device. I just redid the boot flashes and waited longer to double check if I was too impatient.
Yesterday I downloaded the latest files of everything as linked in the above referred to Magisk flash guide on xda developers.
Later tonight I will try to redonwload all the latest files and double check everything.
I only have one usb type c port on my laptop. I will also try the regular USB port to.
Thank you all for your contributions. Really appreciated!

flash-all is the batch file included with the full image .zip. Ran from a command prompt it reinstalls the image. Deleting the -w (for wipe) from the text file and saving/running will keep the user files, apps etc. intact while installing.

I had the same problem and fixed it specifically by switching to a slower USB 2 port. I guess the USB 3 was exposing a timing bug?

Can't flash stock boot image

I am stuck in fastboot. The bootloader is unlocked and I do not have twrp. Everytime I try to install twrp I get this message "FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)" I think it is because my boot image is not there.

Thank you! I am now rooted again. There's so much information available online, it is hard to nail down exactly what to do once something messes up.
Now my wifi is not working. I flashed the stock boot image so my kernel should be back to stock right?
I am on TWRP 3.3.1-70 and Magisk is up to date.

That did the trick, I flashed modded magisk for OS 10 and now wifi is working.

modemst1.bin and modemst2.bin can't flash them on fastboot.

Hey , I did EFS backup.
I have my stock modemst1.bin and modemst2.bin.
When i try to flash them over fastboot i get this.
J:\platform-tools>fastboot flash modemst1 modemst1.bin
Sending 'modemst1' (2048 KB) OKAY [ 0.067s]
Writing 'modemst1' FAILED (remote: 'Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions
')
fastboot: error: Command failed

Can you explain what fastbootd is? How is it accessed? How is it used?
To access the critical partitions u need to do "fastboot reboot fastboot" so u boot into fastboot from fastboot. Then u access fastbootd, the demon that life's in it. Here u can flash partitions like system, vendor, product

Yes partitions like boot can easily flashed via fastboot, but "critical" partitions like system, vendor, product can only flashed via fastbootd.

Oh wow, I don't have them anymore.
It's been a few years since I've posted these.
I'd recommend you to msm your device and backup then again.
I don't think anyone is running this version of oxygen os nowadays.
