Best way of deeling with stuck bootloader? - ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers

Hi
I followed this guide https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/I01WD/install
but got stuck at the following step:
fastboot flash boot lineage-17.1-20200423-recovery-I01WD.img
it went OK, I got the following response:
Sending 'boot_a' (98304 KB) OKAY [ 2.434s]
Writing 'boot_a' OKAY [ 0.538s]
Finished. Total time: 2.999s
But after that the phone is stuck in the bootloader, wont go into recovery or start the OS, just loops back into bootloader.
What would be the best way to proceed?

Did you try to boot from a twrp image?

No, I haven't.
Should I try the following?
fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-4-I01WD.img
Without any other steps in between?

Yes, but I'd install this TWRP instead.

Can you try flashing TWRP 2.7.1.1 instead ? ( Just to see if it's a general issue or something related to your image file )

So, you're stuck with the stock recovery or with a custom one ?
I'd try to install an unsecured kernel + ROM like Jmz's and try flashing a new recovery after that.
Not sure if it would work, just my thoughts and gut says that it might

Dload method is also not working?
Dload method will work only if i am able to access recovery menu which i can't...
I am only able to access fastboot mode...So, is there any way to hard reset/hard flash back to factory recovery/firmware/kernel through fastboot mode?

Can't flash t.w.r.p / root on global fastboot 10.3.7 rom.

I keep trying to flash t.w.r.p via adb but it keeps failing. I try orange and Peter but they don't work and make me get stuck in bootloop. Official 3.3.1 recovery flashes but then when I boot to recovery it only shows the teamwin logo and I have no options to do anything, then on reboot when I trying booting into recovery again it boots into stock recovery like I never even flashed it.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong or tell me correct recovery to flash with this rom? It should be straight forward process to flash t.w.r.p, but I am having trouble for some reason. Thank you.

Ok someone else who's facing the same problem fixed this by formatting the data partition.
But idk why don't you try reinstalling MIUI(Flashboot it through MiFlash) and then try again?

Ok, thanks for advice I'll try formatting data partition. That's exactly what I've been doing, flashing MIUI through MiFlash everything perfect. Then I run into problems after I try flashing recovery so I can root, very weird but I will keep trying.

bricked Redmi Note 7 Pro - please help

Hi All,
I need some help please with (soft?) bricked Note 7 pro. I have the global version and installed e. foundation ROM which is a fork of LineageOS. This was working well until I loaded the latest version last week. Now the phone seems to be softbricked.
I can get into fastboot. I have downloaded TWRP violet and when I run "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.0-0-violet.img" I get:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (65536 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.723s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.370s]
finished. total time: 2.093s
However when I try to boot into that recovery it wont work. (I just see the "Redmi by Xiaomi" screen with the "unlocked" detail at the bottom.
I also tried to run "fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-violet.img" but that leads to a "system has been destroyed" message.
I downloaded the Mi unlock tool and tried to unlock again, just in case, but that tool reported that the phone is unlocked already.
I should point out that I get the same result with twrp-3.3.1-0-violet.img
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can try next? I am reluctant to remove the back from the phone.
Thanks

Were you able to lock your bootloader

Question stuck in fastboot mode

after unlocking my bootloader i tried to flash magisk.zip in fastboot mode by typing fastboot flash boot magisk.zip
now im stuck in fastboot mode. Enter reason: boot failure
with oneplus devices you can always go back to stock with msm tool. is there anything like that for pixel devices? or did i just turn my new phone into a shiny new paper weight?

To root you flash the patched boot image (the one you patched in Magisk), not magisk.zip.
Try flashing the stock boot image to get back to normal and then flash the patched boot image in fastboot.
See this guide.

If you want to root/flash, I recommend PixelFlasher. A simple and effective tool and saves you from trouble!
