Thanks, I'm trying to get the stock partitions for an LG Phoenix 2 but the phone can only get temporary root with Kingroot. The Kingroot also gives random reboots.

Get in a root shell, do this
Code:
cd /dev/block/platform/
ls
Whatever ls gives you, run

awesome thank you for your help ? I've been working at this phone for 6-7 months and we are finally starting to get info on how to unlock and root but this phone has been a difficult one ? so basically download mode is masking fastboot but fastboot commands can be used in download mode, was this after or before you bricked? I just don't want to brick mine, i don't have a dev phone yet for the tribute hd except my daily driver

Before, I flashed my bootloader with a copy of one from a different variant of it. You should be fine. When you're in fastboot try running fastboot oem unlock and fastboot flashing unlock and see what you get.

I am at a brick wall again adb devices works for me and returns my authorized devices listed but when i put my phone into download mode and enter fastboot devices i get a blank output and if i enter either unlock commands it says (waiting for devices) forever whether i unplug it or not, no response. I BELIEVE i have the right device drivers and i have the latest fastboot/adb binaries and system wide adb and fastboot drivers installed. I'm pretty sure i still have to nuke laf. I've been unsuccessful with every other method

Hey everyone!
So, I flashed dalvik and bionic optimizations for the OnePlus One that I found over on the Nexus 5. When I booted back up into Android, all of my apps were missing, and everything kept on crashing. So, I booted into Fastboot Mode, but instead of the Cid logo which is usually presented, this message came up:
己进人fastboot...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The English translation is roughly "You have entered fastboot...". Everything still worked fine. I flashed my system partition back, and everything was okay. But, strangely, the Chinese fastboot message still appears instead of Cid. I kinda want Cid back...does anyone have any solutions? And yes, my phone is the international model.
i also have the same screen for fastboot. to make it worst i dont have root access but have a chinese version of cwm on the device. donno what to do.

i have an chinese version OPO , my bootloader is cid after i flash stock image.

Well you can also try flashing the logo.bin partition from the CM11S image cyngn has at https://cyngn.com/products/oneplusone/, but if your bootloader is already in chinese, you might just want to flash the device back to full stock using the fastboot image.

Yeah, it will fully revert your device to the factory image. Once you are done, if you have the 64gb model, make sure to flash the userdata_64gb.img manually after otherwise your system will only show as 16gb.

Yeah...that's a bit too much to lose just to change how my fastboot looks. Thanks for your suggestion though.
So upon further research, it looks like this is the exact same fastboot screen that OPPO devices use!! Somehow, I've gotten the OPPO fastboot mode one my One! And OnePlus denies involvement with OPPO....
Problem: I cannot root on 30O.
I have revived my OnePlus One from a soft-brick because I was trying to update from 25R to 30O from the rooted phone. Please refer to forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/how-to-update-to-11-0-xnph30o-t2847037for more info. I have learned so much from it.
So after the soft brick, I restored it to 22R. Then an update came in for 25R, I followed the instructions to root the phone, root checker confirmed that I was indeed rooted. (I thought I still had TWRP) so I updated to 30O. I read that the 30O has another update after it, but I still have not received that update yet. When updated to 30O, I realized I can't use titanium back up anymore, and I no longer have SuperUser.
So I followed this video to do the root once again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O2e_R_TbVg&list=UUk1SpWNzOs4MYmr0uICEntg. But to no avail it doesn't seem to root. When I reboot into recovery mode, TWRP is also gone instead it shows the stock CM11S recovery.
The main reason, I wanted to upgrade to 30O was to be up-to-date, I got my wish! It's kind of ironic. But I still want to be rooted once more. If anyone can help, thank you in advance.
I will check this thread again tomorrow, I thank you for all that XDA members especially vamshi88 has been so persistent in helping me. These have been stepping stones for me as an Android user.

I did'nt provide two builds for K428. You flashed the wrong one. I provided only one build. Read the first post again.
You got that error because your bootloader is locked. I extracted the original recovery from the KDZ file, just for testing.
I need the original recovery image from K428. If you can extract the Recovery Img file from the Recovery partition, extract it and send it to me as PM.
How did you enter fast boot mode?
Oops my bad, I thought I saw you say it was for all k10 variants...yeah ill get you the 428 recovery img as soon as I can...as for getting into fastboot, I did it the old fashion way that I usually do for T-Mobile phones...adb reboot bootloader, then fasboot oem unlock...took me straight into fasboot mode instantly...ill be in touch, thanks
full functional without any bugs? neat.

easy...enable developer options in settings by hitting build number 7 times, once in dev options enable OEM Unlock and enable usb debugging, plug phone into PC, then open Minimal ADB and Fastboot cmd window and allow phone to communicate with PC, type adb reboot bootloader which will take you to a screen with instructions to unlock, which is basically just to type fastboot oem unlock...then your phone will go into fastboot mode and you can check if your bootloader is unlocked by typing fastboot getvar unlock
pulling the stock recovery image is proving to be more difficult than I thought as I do not have root, which is why I was trying to install twrp so I could do systemless root with supersu...kingroot doesn't work for 6.0 MM...get back to you as soon as I can.
Hi guys,
My phone is bricked now and there is no solution yet, I think but it won't hurt me to ask
With the latest news, I could unlock the bootloader of my Verizon pixel 2 successfully (fastboot flashing lock_critical) then I flashed a custom kernel to it. Somehow it won't boot. I stupidly relocked the bootloader while the custom kernel was still on it.
I tried to unlock the bootloader again using the command fastboot flashing lock_critical but it never worked again.
Now my phone is stucked on the bootloader screen, when I select recovery mode, it would take me back to the bootloader screen.
I can't use flash-all because the bootloader is locked. adb sideload won't work for me because I can't get into recovery mode.
Please let me know if you have any suggestion. I really appreciate it.
Otherwise, I will keep it for a while and pray there will be a solution to unlock the bootloader again.
Thanks everyone and happy new year.

You said you typed flashing unlock critical. You should not even using that. You should have used flashing unlock. It says on Google page specifically do not use that command unless you have the pixel 2 xl. My guess you did not fully unlock the bootloader. For the pixel 2 XL you have to type into commands flashing unlock critical in flashing unlock for the regular pixel 2 it's only flashing unlock.
Try typing flashing unlock only and see what happens if not you may have bricked your phone

You are correct that Google says specifically not to do that, which is why I did it. Previously on It's Always Sunny, that brought up a menu asking if you want to unlock. It seems OP messed up Kernel somehow.
Alright, so i will try to make it as simple as possible
A while ago i wanted to custom rom my old samsung galaxy j5 because i found it and it had android 9, so i thought that it was time for a little upgrade
i tried to root it and i think i did it, but the device bricked afterwards
i unbricked it, and now its just the plain stock os. so here are the problems:
1. i cant install TWRP using odin, so i wanted to install it using abd and sdk (fastboot)
2. when i use abd it works fine, but when i type any command with fasboot, it just waits for the device even tho its connected
I watched a indian tutorial on how to fix that and u had to download a driver and thats where the main problem comes in
the device isnt showing in device manager!
i'd appreciate any help but i really wanna custom rom it and just install twrp. thanks!

Samsung has neither fastboot mode nor a fastboot interface. Never.

Yes, I know. Download mode = Odin
There is no fastboot implementation on Samsung devices. You can't execute fastboot commands from a Win PC.

Do you have root access and a terminal app like Termux? If no root is available then you have to use Odin.

CF auto root is very outdated. So, you have no root. You must use Odin.

Before you install root or sth else you should install TWRP via Odin.

Flash TWRP and use key combo to directly boot into recovery.
You may not boot into system!
This will overwrite TWRP with stock recovery. Boot straight from download mode into recovery.
The linked recovery.img is for Samsung Galaxy J7 Exynos SM-J700 (j7elte)
why not from twrp.me?
so i just flash it when its in download mode and then go immidiately into recovery mode? if yes then it just freezes until i force restart it

With no OS installed you can't boot anything... What do you expect? I recommend you to flash the full firmware and try again.

TWRP is /recovery and your system is /system. No OS means that /system is empty.
flash your firmware. that's it
