Hi,
I'm trying to root my Moto G. Was able to unlock it but can't flash recovery or boot superboot with fastboot.
On trying to push twrp with: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I get the error:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (8090 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))

On trying to boot superboot with: fastboot boot boot.superboot.img
Iget the error:
downloading 'boot.img' ...
FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 5.014s
I can't seem to find a solution online, does someone know how to fix these errors?

just install flashify from the playstore and flash a recovery from there its very easy and i think a large number of people had the same problem anyhow thats how i fixed it after further reading in xda cheers,martin
I am actually a fan of rooting without changing the recovery
just use
fastboot boot YourRecovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then flash e.g. latest supersu zip http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu you can even do this by adb sideload in CWM (for the recovery i used CWMrecovery)
i like this method because it will leave your recovery untouched and just root :highfive:
Why dont you flash just Philz Touch recovery? Then go to recovery option on Fastboot mode, once Philz has booted, touch REBOOT SYSTEM, then the recovery will tell you "Your device is not rooted or SU is missing, do you want to apply SU?" Then scroll to YES option and phone will reboot.. DONE, rooted! Now go to Play Store and grab SuperSU app.. Then you can flash to stock recovery....
All I had to do was change the usb port. Now everything is working fine.

The OP is trying to root his device. AFAIK Flashify requires the device to be rooted to work. What am I missing?
I recently upgraded my phone to EMUI 2.3 to EMUI 3.1 (Android lollipop 5.1), and installed CWM and rooted it. Two days ago I have downloaded cerebus app from Rom manager app and it installed by rebooting into recovery. Then a couple of minutes after rebooting the phone keep on crashing and shutting down randomly and when I tried to reboot it won't reboot but stuck for sometime at the Honor logo and since then I've tried every possible flashing and resetting I found here on XDA.
I still have access to fastboot and that is how I am able to flash ROM s and when I am trying to use the three button method it is stopping at 90 %. I couldn't even access it if my phone is not connected to my PC.
Now I've exhausted all the procedures in here and some other sites.
Somebody please suggest me something, help me.
Thank you.
Follow these steps to get it back to stock:
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Boot into bootloader mode by switching off the phone then pressing only the Vol DOWN button, and connecting it to PC simultaneously.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.
NOTE: If the manual flashing doesn't works or you get any errors, then first try only the force update method, i.e Putting the UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD and pressing Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously after switching off your phone.
Thanks Brother.

I have the same problem with a H60-L12.
I noticed, that I get that error when I try to flash a boot.img from a different EMUI version pack.
In my case, the phone had EMUI3.0 and I can write any of the EMUI3.0 boot.img's, but cannot write a boot.img from an EMUI 3.1 or EMUI4.0 update.app

Thnks you for replying so quickly.
I'm using "Honor 6_Firmware_H60-L04_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.0_C675B822_India_Flipkart India"
which is the latest stock firmware for Honor 6 H60-L04.
I have tried to force update with the thee button method and it worked (completed 100%)but unfortunately the phone is now in bootloop. This definitely made the phone a little better but once it got to the EMUI update screen its restarting again.
Thanks again man I though nobody would reply for this. its been so long since ive posted this.

You have to use that last Lollipop package which you were on before, try the three button method with that and report.

Yeah man, I've tried to flash recovery of the last Lollipop Rom and still the same message FAILED (status read failed (Too many links)).
Is there any other way that we can try to unbrick the device?
Thank you man.

When you flashed manually, did you used the same IMG files from the last installed ROM?
You can´t extract and flash IMG files of a LP ROM in a last installed MM ROM and vice versa.

Check in task manager to see if you have adb.exe running. Stop all and try again.

bro i was trying to help another person that was solution according to me for him
Sry if it looks like question...
So for the past week, my phone has been bricked. Bricked by flashing the wrong firmware, so now not able to access the whole phone, and making matters worse by flashing the wrong recovery for the phone. The phone being an Honor 8, FRD-L14, 64GB.
I'm not able to use dload to rollback anything, or use that option at all, since the recovery isn't eRecovery, and doesn't even have any recovery in itself.
The problem is that I'm able to boot into "download mode" my phones unlocked, and when I type in "fastboot oem get-bootinfo", the response is:
(bootloader) unlocked
OKAY [ 0.008s]
finished. total time: 0.010s
But when trying to flash anything through fastboot in the cmd, like the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to flash a recovery on the phone, the response would then be:
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (29378 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.803s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.814s
My phone is unlocked, and on the download mode screen, is shows:
PHONE Unlocked
FRP Unlock
My drivers are installed, as well as the device being shown in fastboot when typing in the command "fastboot devices"
I haven't been able to do a single thing to the phone, and have searched up a countless amount of hours to find the fix for the phone, if anyone can, please look into the problem and assist me, thanks .

You're in a tough situation my friend, what do you get when you try the dload method? In my opinion this is the only thing you can do. However i heard about a thing called "DC Unlocker" . It can flash a clean ROM and other good stuff for bricked Huawei phones, but you have to pay, and i don't know what the prices are. Hope you'll make it
Hello, first i must say sorry for bad english.
i bought this phone from one guy from work. He just told me: Just Huawei logo showing. But what he did with it he dont said. Well come to problem.
When i go to Fastboot. it showing in green colour - Phone: LOCKED , FRP: LOCK. From this i know i must unlock bootloader first. BUT i cant do nothing. I downloaded DC unlocker and charge 4 points for read Bootloader Unlock code. But i have to connect phone like COM 1.0 .. and that is what i cant. there is no recovery. nothing. tried update with SDcard with UPDATE.APP from dload but nothing happen. So i tried flash manualy with Fastboot flash recovery.img .. boot.img .. and it say
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I dont know what else i can try to unlock bootloader. I know i must somehow first unlock booloader but i dont know how when phone reacting to pc just in fastboot mode. installed HiSuite for drivers. Hope can somebody here help me.
So another method.. Can somebody here tell me how unbrick Hard bricked p8 lite 2017? I readed a lot of pages about this problem. And it telling me the my phone are Hard bricked. Is here some way to unbrick?
Hi.
After trying to upgrade my rooted P20 eml-l09 c605 with EMUI 9.x, I couln't get into recovery mode anymore (on button + vol up)
What I did was flash original ramdis.img and recovery_ramdis.img to unroot it, so i could upgrade it directly from the phone, but something bad happened so I couldn't get the recovey menu anymore.
Help please.
PS: (Bootloader is unlocked)
This message appears when I try to flash recovery_ramdisk
- Flashing TWRP recovery

Where did you find the original ramdisk image from?
I need it too because i accidently flashed a TWRP version that doesent work
I can't flash anything, even with the original ramdisk (downloaded from firmware finder).
I really don't know what to do.
My phone is an EML-L09C605, it is working and rooted.
Only I can get to fastboot menu.
I still haven't got a solution but, Is downgrading it the way to follow?
Help please.
