Failed to boot Linux, falling back to fastboot
Fastboot Reason: Fall-through from normal boot mode
Hi everyone,
I've wanted to root my Android phone for a while now, so I decided to do it these holidays, following instructions on getdroidtips ( How to Install Lineage OS 17.1 for Moto G8 Plus | Android 10 [GSI treble] (getdroidtips.com) ). I couldn't boot into TWRP recovery mode for some reason, (maybe it didn't install properly) so I tried to install Havoc OS using ADB. My phone then rebooted several times and then gave an error message, saying I could either try rebooting again or factory reset. I chose factory reset and went through the whole process again twice, the third time with Lineage OS. It then gave a different error message (in the code block). I can use the volume keys like in the bootloader, but couldn't get it to boot. I also can't access the phone over ADB.
This was my first time messing with Android beyond basic ADB commands, so I didn't really know what I was doing. I might have messed up the instructions or made some other mistake. All of my data is backed up, so all I'm hoping for is to either boot Lineage OS or somehow flash the stock ROM again.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
BTW I am not on Verizon.
I've run into a few of these situations. I also tried this version of Android as a Custom Rom and got a Boot Loop
I had to use TWRP to reinstall my TWRP backup.
Just in case you don't have TWRP or TWRP access for some strange reason you could try this:
I have a moto g8 plus xt2019-2
Motorola_Moto_G8_Plus_XT2019-2_DOHA_RETBR_9.0_PPI29.65-43_(MobileGuru4.com)
Motorola Flash File For All Model (Stock ROM) - Mobile Guru4
Download Motorola Flash File for all Motorola models. Here all Stock ROM and firmware files given for Motorola phones are official original files
www.mobileguru4.com
Search for this on google, when you find it download it. Then inside the zip file once you unzip it find the directory that is labeled - firmware
Inside that directory there's a file labeled "flashfile.bat" This setup uses ADB with ADB Fastboot on the phone. I assume you know how to get ADB Fastboot on your phone. When you execute the above file you will see it working in the command prompt on your computer. Let it run. It will not show anything on your phone until your phone reboots. This is what I use as a DISASTER BACKUP in case TWRP is unusable or in any way I'm unable to get to it.
I hope this helps you, it worked on my phone.
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I can't try it because I've already sent the phone away to be repaired. The repair company said they would have to send it away when I originally emailed them. The repair company had a no fix no fee arrangement, so if they can't do it I'll try using fastboot. Hopefully that will happen and I won't have to pay $200.
sorry my english, i have the same problem and already try everything, rsa always fails and rsd lite does not recognize my device in windows 10, i tried to short the motherboard and it didn't work, i am seriously thinking about changing the motherboard or sell the parts
Hi,
so with this Tutorial i was able to unlock the bootloader of the Blackview tab 8.
but i just could not find any way to flash magisk.
- "fastboot boot patched_img.img" and "fastboot flash boot patched_img.img" gave me "fastboot: error: Couldn't parse partition size '0x'"
- "fastboot flash:raw boot boot.img" was able to flash the patched_boot.img (a twrp i tried to port as well), but then i was stuck at blackview logo (SOFTBRICK)
- SPD Research Tool R24.0.0003 was able to flash patched_boot.img, but same stuck at logo (SOFTBRICK)
The only way i was able to unbrick it, involved opening back cover and disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it again.
then put research tool to download mode and flash stock img
I'm hoping for some advices, what i could try to get magisk flashed
- Tab8 Firmware (DK_SC9863A_P30_5G_10.0_Tab8_EEA_20201022_V1.0)
- SPD Research Tool R24 (there are 2 other tools but afaik research tool is the only one, where i can choose which partitions to flash)
best regards

Hi,
I've got a tab8 too (eu) and I have the boot_patched.img generated by magisk manager but I can't unlock the bootloader. I used the tuto you gave (your first link) too.
Could you explain what you did to successfully unlock your bootloader please?
Thanx
Bests regards
I was trying to backup the stock ROM of this same tablet, however i must have incorrectly installed SPD drivers or somehow had uninstalled them, Research Download said "failed user cancel", then boom when i tried to switch it on it was not turning on nor charging. I have been trying to charge it for about 4 days, no dice, it does not charge still, nor turning on.
I must have soft bricked it, because it gets detected by the PC as "SPRD U2S Diag (COM5)", but when i try to flash Stock ROM i downloaded it either says " failed user cancel" or gets stuck at "checking baudrate".
I don't know what to do, would opening it and test point it make a difference? Because some guy on Youtube was able to flash his SPD phone after test pointing it, as it was facing "failed user cancel"
Another question, which key combinations did you use when flashing your Tab 8? Vol - and Power or?

I did it like described in the tutorial i linked. did you use linux? maybe in a VM or so, to use the .sh script. AFAIK it doesnt work with windows
also dont forget to activate "OEM unlocking" in dev options

i dont know about test point actually. you can open it pretty easily and just disconnect battery. then connect again, use sdp tool and start the flash process, then press vol- and hold it while pluging in usb cable. thats what i do, if im stuck and cant do anything else.
regarding button combination, i'm not sure. usually i use adb reboot bootloader.
Also for the Blackview Tab 8 you need to extract keys from your vbmeta.img and sign it differently, also every other .img you wanna flash, like patched magisk boot.img. i successfully rooted mine some time ago, but i flashed some magisk modules and something went wrong and i ended up bootlooping. now im trying to root again.
somehow i cant flash the vbmeta.img. i dont remember if i did anything different last time.
all the stuff i did to get it rooted, i have taken from that hovatek forum.
edit: uploaded Stock Rom Images and stuff like for example a magsik patched boot image, which got repacked with android image kitchen then signed and repacked again with avbtool here
PS: dont have time to invest to this atm, also i just read that there was a update sometime this year which i didnt get, so maybe that changed some stuff.
I was considering buying this Blackview tablet and before I ordered it I got in touch with the Blackview home people in Hong Kong. They were extremely UNHELPFUL AND EVEN RUDE (not unusual for the chinese). As far as I am concerned this mob does not deserve to be supported and having a product that is so difficult to do any tinkering with precludes it from my list for sure. It is so time for consumers to DEMAND that any product that does not give explicit instructions as to unlocking and flashing is not supported. Why is it not possible in this day and age for this to happen. OK I know why but you get my meaning.
Hi, I'm quite desperate, Modifying a dev setting on my xiaomi redmi note 9, it just went on a boot loop.
I tried quite everything at this point, I have adb and fastboot set up on my pc. adb devices detects the mobile with the miassistant and fastboot devices detects the phone in fastboot mode. but well, I did'nt check usb debbuging, so adb is not usable, only sideload is I think. The command that would have fixed my phone is adb shell wm density reset
But I cannot use it for the reason I explained. I have no backup of my phone, i'm a totaly stupid and desperate.
Is there a way for me to use this command another way or at least do a backup of the phone ?
Thanks for reading, have a nice day
Because
Code:
adb shell wm density reset
worked, ADB is working at all.
If you have custom recovery then simply backup the data.
if not but you have your bootloader unlocked then simply flash one then backup your data.
Else - I don't mean to put salt on your wounds - you can say goodbye to your data.
My Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro isn't booting anymore.
I'm stuck in the fastboot screen, I don't even reach the redmi logo in the boot, I need to recover the data on the phone but I have no idea about how to do that.
Any suggestions?
(Already tried going to recovery with power down + volume up, isn't working)
I'm stuck in the fastboot screen

I'm assuming you have Fastboot.
Was USB Debugging ON before the device got bricked? If yes then:
> Download TWRP Recovery for Redmi Note 8 Pro from twrp website. Rename the file to: twrp.img
> Download latest Xiaomi USB Drivers for PC from Internet.
> Download 15-Seconds-ADB-Installer for PC from Internet.
> After Installation is over, Restart PC > Windows Explorer > This PC/ My Computer > ADB Folder > Press SHIFT+Right Click Mouse+Open Powershell Window Here > New window opens
> Transfer the twrp.img file to ADB folder.
> Now you can try connecting the XRN8Pro to the PC (while the Fastboot screen is on)
> On the Powershell window you can type one by one:
1) fastboot devices
2) fastboot boot twrp.img
> Your XRN8Pro phone should boot to TWRP Custom Recovery.
> On PC open another Windows Explorer tab and check if your phones Internal Storage is displayed. If yes you can try to copy your phone data to PC.
> After that in TWRP recovery Press Reboot to Bootloader option, It will show Fastboot screen.
> Download XRN8Pro Stock Firmware/Fastboot ROM from Internet to Desktop only.
> Download Mi Flash Tool for XRN8Pro. Double Click on XiaoMiFlash.exe file.
> Connect XRN8Pro to PC (while fastboot screen is on)
> Then on MiFlash window click on folder to link to firmware file on desktop & click on refresh button, then click on Flash. It takes about 17 minutes (for RN8 devices) to flash MIUI ROM.

Thanks for the reply, this game me some hope, but I don't think USB Debugging was enabled.
I've never rooted or changed rom, I just rebooted the phone and apparently I triggered the rm -rf / command.

You hadn't already? OMG! Sorry. Yup probably would need bootloader unlocking but you can try to lookup steps for Fastboot commands to unlock bootloader on the internet. But it shouldn't trigger a wipe of any sort or you might lose the data inside. Also, no harm in trying to load TWRP using Fastboot i think, just in case TWRP loads.

As said, I never modified this phone, is basically as if it was brand new, OS side.
Maybe I can use https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-bootloader-without-losing-data.3864667/ to unlock the bootloader without loosing data?

The link is fresh so you can also ask there. All the Best
Update: I've tried to contact Xiaomi about the issue.
They said they should be able to help me out with this stuff, and that I shouldn't flash my phone because it's really easy to brick.
I understand that it's the usual support recommendation, but it is possible that they know how to fix this issue?
What should I do, go for their way or go for myself?

Is your phone In-Warranty? If yes or no i would suggest go your own way, once purchased an used any device, don't connect with OEM servers ever again for any OTA update coz lots of recent cases about OEM(Original Equipment Manufatureres) killing devices with OTA updates and after that the phone doesnt boot, no recovery no fastboot too, so careful with contacting/updating through OEMs if out -of-warranty specially. Once out-of-warranty always use ROM channels to upgrade to new handroid versions instead of direct OTA upgrade/update, that way you may still be able to roll back the OS to previous version in case you don't like the new handroid version, lots of people don't like handroid 12 but they cant roll back to handroid 11 .
> recent cases about OEM(Original Equipment Manufatureres) killing devices with OTA updates
This is considered highly illegal in Europe, I could sue Xiaomi for that, in case, and would be an easy win.
Btw, I'm the one who bought this phone first, it's just out of warranty since I've bought it in nov-19.
After this data recovery I'll be out of the Android world forever, I just care about my data, currently.

Yes they might not try doing that with uropean customers but they might try in other countries where there no proper legal system for things like these, also they wont do it with everyone in a particular country to avoid suspicion, theyre smart enough to know what theyre doing, but unofficially speaking many retailers have told me about such a thing (OTA Kill Device) happening in Weaker-Law-N-Order countries, so just saying precaution is always good.
BTW i've put my Retmi Noat 10 up for sale, its still in warranty & I havent used it in the last 10 months, no sim card, unused totally, just once I loaded Gcam to check how the camera is, shamshung is always better than chyneez phones mainly coz better build and component-life, chyneez devices only look shiny from outside but it doesnt last beyond 3-5 yrs, not built to last, just use-n-throw devices u knw. Such devices are only made for mass-surveillance in mind not with customers-focus. This A/B partition thing and super partition thing is adding more bad than good.
I don't think that trick will work. even if it would be possible to cheat that easy, encryption key is bonded* to bootloader lock state. so if you somehow magically managed to unlock bootloader without triggering factory reset, your data could no longer decrypted from android OS and is therefore lost.
Xiaomi support answered they can fix your phone, but they didn't say they can safe your data on it, right!? So try to get a full backup off your device in preloader mode (SLA/DAA bypass and VCOM drivers needed)
After that important step you can unlock bootloader with mtkclient, install TWRP and *proof me wrong (xiaomi devices are hackable/have weak security implementations). In any case do not perform factory reset, your backup is always only backup of android OS and therefore incomplete (there are several OS on every device)
btw fastboot doesn't require usb-debugging (that's adb, not fastboot)
Do you have a tutorial about it?

Hello everybody,
i'm not new in custom roms, but i have a problem, i can't solve by myself:
I flashed an unlocked Mi5 to linageos 19.1 without problems.
I had the bad idea to relock the bootloader due to security reasons (fastboot oem lock).
Now the device is not booting anymore, i can just see the Mi-Logo flashing very shortly.
I can access fastboot, but can't boot into recovery.
I tried to unlock the device again, but the Mi Unlocker fails and prompts me to go to the developer options in Miui, which is clearly impossible.
Any chance to proceed from fastboot (fastboot oem unlock does not work...) ?
Thanks, Jan
congrats, you succesfully hard bricked your phone. please take it for a walk to the xiaomi service and pay for gettting it fixed. who told you it is a good idea to relock the bootloader with a custom rom installed ?

Make sure if your bootloader is really locked or not using fastboot command
fastboot oem device-info
OR,
fastboot getvar unlocked
If it's not locked, you can simply flash your stock rom using flash tool available for mi. Before downloading a rom from internet, take note of your device info using fastboot command ,
fastboot getvar all
And if bootloader is really locked, you have to flash stock rom from EDL mode. You may have to remove back cover to turn on EDL mode. Your device has snapdragon chipset (Plus point). Watch tutorials about xiaomi edl rom flash - snapdragon. You can go to service centre. If they tell you that you have to replace motherboard, don't be agree. Tell them to flash rom using EDL mode.

Flash stock recovery for your device via fastboot, then you should be able to boot into recovery or flash a stock system.img or your full stock firmware for your device, then unlock the bootloader(fastboot oem unlock) then flash TWRP and LineageOS again.

But he mentioned, bootloader fails to unlock. Actually it's hard brick(Even though he can boot into fastboot,the bootloader is locked. So nothing to do with fastboot).Without unlocked bootloader, flashing something from fastboot will hard brick his device completely (Will not be able to boot into fastboot). Or flashing will be denied

OK, next level reached. The phone is connected to the com-port and the correct driver is displayed.
The whole procedure is a bit unstable, i need to connect the phone several times, to get a stable EDL mode.
The Xiaomi Flasher recognizes the phone, but flashing does not succeed. Sometimes it's not able to receive a kind of Hello message, sometimes it displays "object reference not set to an instance of an object".
I also downloaded the QPST flasher, but have no plan, how to use it.
I'll keep on trying!
Thanks to all, who helped me to reach this point!

I found something new by watching this video. Maybe you don't understand hindi(India is our relative country, so I do).
Lemme explain,
This guy's xiaomi k20 pro phone hard bricked with a locked bootloader. He tried a lot to repair it(by deep flash or something idk). But everything failed. At last he came to this step of EDL mode. But xiaomi Edl mode flash requires an "AUTHORIZED MI ACCOUNT" . Xiaomi people pay to get authorized account license that normal users don't have. So the guy contacted with them on a telegram page called "Mod Edit: Name Removed" . They told him that they will repair his phone via teamviewer. All he had to do is pay some $ & connect phone in edl mode. Rest of the things were done by them. And his phone repaired successfully! (Watch the video from 4:00)
So In his video, he is telling to go to that page & contact with "Mod Edit: Name Removed" there. They take 20-25$ (depends on device). If you tell them you're from Mod Edit: Name Removed's video, they will give some discount

Yeah, I jumped the gun and posted before seeing all the replies in the thread describing their whole scenario, should've known better.
They obviously need a hardware approach, i.e. JTAG/RIFF/Octoplus or replace motherboard.

Thanks for research!
Meanwhile, i stopped using Windows due to all the caveats and switched to reliable Debian Linux on a different machine.
Again it takes 10 attempts to get into EDL Mode.
I used qdl (Qualcomm downloader for Linux) with all the firehose, raw and patch .xmls
Code:
sudo ./qdl --debug --storage ufs --include . prog_ufs_firehose_8996_ddr.elf partition.xml rawprogram0.xml rawprogram1.xml rawprogram2.xml rawprogram3.xml rawprogram4.xml rawprogram5.xml patch0.xml patch1.xml patch2.xml patch3.xml patch4.xml patch5.xml
Output looked like some stuff was written, at the end i receive:
Code:
qdl: failed to write: Connection timed out
However, the phone is now dead as can be without fastboot working any more.
Maybe i'll give it another try, or get a used Mainboard...

Maybe i'll give it another try, or get a used Mainboard...
Best regards, Jan

Thanks for research!
Meanwhile, i stopped using Windows due to all the caveats and switched to reliable Debian Linux on a different machine.
Again it takes 10 attempts to get into EDL Mode.
I used qdl (Qualcomm downloader for Linux) with all the firehose, raw and patch .xmls
Code:
sudo ./qdl --debug --storage ufs --include . prog_ufs_firehose_8996_ddr.elf partition.xml rawprogram0.xml rawprogram1.xml rawprogram2.xml rawprogram3.xml rawprogram4.xml rawprogram5.xml patch0.xml patch1.xml patch2.xml patch3.xml patch4.xml patch5.xml
Output looked like some stuff was written, at the end i receive:

That's expensive. Anyway, it will be better if you don’t waste time on this. Just go for 3rd party help(From that official telegram channel or service centre). That will cost less

Thanks Tawsif for the good hints and links.
I don't really depend on the phone, so i will keep trying.
It's not wasted time, it's mainly learning new stuff and improving skills.
I believe, i'm not too far away and if it works, it's the best satisfaction.
If not, i bricked an old Mi 5.
All the best,
Jan
