Moto G4 play harpia stock firmware.

I figured that since the Motorola web site doesn't have the firmware for this yet I would post a link to my Dropbox so others have access to the firmware. This is for us cellular Moto g4 play xt1607 not sure if it will work for devices on a different carrier. If someone could make a backup of their current rom and test it out to let us all know if it does that would be great. Please hit the thanks button if this helps anyone. https://www.dropbox.com/s/i6jsafelq...y-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip?dl=0
This must be flashed with fastboot. If you do not know how to flash with fastboot there are tons of how to videos if you google it.
BACKUP YOUR DEVICE TO SD CARD OR PC BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!!!!!
DISCLAIMER: FLASHING ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE HAS RISKS. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND YOU HAVE JUST PURCHASED YOUR PHONE AND HAVE NOT UNLOCKED THE BOOTLOADER STOP!!!!! DO NOT CONTINUE. IM NOT SURE WHAT THE EFFECTS WILL BE IF YOU TRY FLASHING WITH A LOCKED BOOTLOADER, IT COULD BRICK YOUR DEVICE!!!!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY FLASHING THIS FIRMWARE. IF YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG AND DONT FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS THAN THATS YOUR OWN T.S.

Just in case you can't use google, for some crazy reason, put phone into bootloader mode then on PC download and install minimal fastboot and adb then download firmware, unzip firmware to desktop then open that file and click on a blank spot then hold shift and right click on that blank spot then click open command window here. In that command window type
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img

fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clog
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
If you are running windows 10 you can copy all lines and paste to the command window and it will do all without having to type every line one by one, not sure if it works the same on windows 8.1, 8 or 7 but it does on 10 just remember to hit enter after it completes and you see fastboot reboot on the command window for some reason it doesn't do this for you. That's all there is to it it's very easy. After the device has rebooted you will be at 100% stock with a completely de-bloated rom! This should work on any xt1607, but please be safe and make a backup on sd card or PC before doing anything. If you are still having issues I will have my 4 year old come to your house to bring you to school. Happy flashing everyone and please hit the thanks button if this helps.

I have tried following your instructions so that i can restore my us cellular xt1607 back to stock but all i get are failed (data transfer failure (unknown error)) messages.not really sure what the issue is. I am using minimal fastboot and adb 1.4. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What command gives the error?

I am unlocked and root with twrp and su installed and working. Unfortunately, I forgot the cardinal rule of making a backup before rooting. phone is working but having some issues. As far as which command is giving me the issues.
fb_mode_set is fine. but after that I get.

Every time you unplug the phone from PC then plug it back in you must change debugging to file transfer.

II seem to be going backwards.
Heres the steps i had been following..that now no longer seem to work. with phone running....plug in, run minimal adb...check for devices with adb devices command...device is listed...then use adb reboot bootloader. from there I started using your list of commands to flash the phone. however after the first command to set fastboot mode all I get are errors. now for some reason adb isn't even seeing my phone.

That's because if you unplug the phone from the PC then plug it back in it defaults the USB debugging to charge only. If you get into twrp you can still put a custom ROM in root of phone to flash in twrp. I would try that then try to install the stock again. Be sure to have debugging set to file transfer.

I've been doing that...I'll give squids CM13 rom a shot as it is the only rom out there and see if that works. Thanks for your help. I really wasn't expecting such a quick response on a Saturday morning..I'll let you know how it goes

Haven't gotten back to stock yet, but did get cm13 running with no issues. I'm still playing with it to try and see what's up. Since I've gotten cm13 running I'm undecided on staying with it and upgrading to cm14 when it's ported or continue trying to go back to stock and getting nougat thru that way.

I like cm13 there just aren't any real good themes for free. I don't mind donating to a dev. but if I can't test it out to see if I like it or not I don't want to pay.

I'm using the material glass theme along with stealth icons, i like it a lot

So just further update. Got as far as fastboot partition gpt.bin. after that it just gives me transfer failed errors. So I guess I am just going to stick with cm13 since that is running good. at least until someone makes a flashable zip of the stock firmware. I have never tried any dev work with android, so while I know it is possible to make a flashable zip out of these files it is way beyond my skills and knowledge. Thanks Dan for your help and fast response time.

Where/how to "change debugging to file transfer" on Win-7?
Thanks!
Until now, my only experience was flashing a recovery image to Moto E2 with command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Neither I have to change "USB debugging to file transfer", nor I needed to use command
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
Is that something new and specific to Moto G Play 4th Gen?
Edit:
I have just unlocked the bootloader of my new Moto G4 Play and flashed a new logo file with command:
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
Still puzzled by "change debugging to file transfer"

How to go back from custom rom to factory

files are from current available factory image available. be sure to use latest available fastboot application.
1. reboot to fastboot
2. fastboot erase userdata (all data is deleted, have a backup)
3. fastboot reboot-bootloader
4. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-sunfish-s5-0.2-6539975.img
5. fastboot reboot-bootloader
6. fastboot flash radio radio-sunfish-g7150-00018-200701-b-6643937.img
7. fastboot reboot-bootloader
8. fastboot update image-sunfish-rp1a.201005.006.zip
9. fastboot reboot-bootloader
10. choose recovery
11. on the android icon with the red warning shield hold power and press volume up
12. Stock recovery appears. Choose wipe data / factory reset
if in any case the fastboot command gets stuck, replug the device and/or restart bootloader. BE CAREFULL WHEN DOING THIS WHILE RUNNING fastboot flash bootloader !!!!BRICK POSSIBLE!!!!!
After that you can boot up and see its working.
if everything is right, you should flash both slots before
relocking bootloader
so repeat above steps and do point 4. and 6. fastboot flash with
fastboot flash --slot all
from above steps. Check phone boots on both slots. Active slot can be switched via
fastboot --set-active=a
verify it boots then
fastboot --set-active=b
verify again it boots
then proceed with
fastboot flashing lock
(data will be wiped)

If you're doing it this way you should flash the images to both slots.
Fastboot flash bootloader --slot all (image)
Reboot bootloader
Fastboot flash radio --slot all (image)
Reboot bootloader
Then
Fastboot update (extracted sunfish folder)
Let it do its thing.
Incase there's any doubt on both slots being stock you can just adb sideload the OTA after you boot

Yes, just keep in mind whenever rolling back asb or android versions you'll have to format data.

You can do this in a more simple way by flash the stock image via official website from android, just click and follow the instruction

It'll be nice when we have a working TWRP, then you can format data and flash/sideload an OTA if needed.

Did you ever look at factory packs? It has flash_all scripts for Linux and Windows and its do all steps as needed.
Or I'm wrong?

go and unlock ur phone, flash superiorOS fe. (that was the one i was on) then go back to stock.
tell me if it was all so easy. this guide is meant if you run into issues like i did and i wanted to not have you struggle through the same.
if you think running "bat" without seeing any output of what is happening and sit for an hour without anything has happened at all cause fastboot is stuck, then do so and skip this thread.

Sorry I meant sunfish (brainfart)
When you extract the factory image a second folder will show up. It'll say image.sunfish.
You can type in the terminal ( fastboot update ) then drag and drop that folder. Works the same way as flash-all. Just update bootloader and radio first.

Way! Why so much emotions over simple suggestion? You where unlucky and give people a guide in case which is replicate all commands from scripts. Good!
And for record my experience with this device in short!
Received – setup – Android 11 – OTA to 006 – Canary – root – boot – check all stuff – install my apps – check again – pm list for bloatware
flash superiorOS – make notes not working stuff – root – check again – same not working stuff
flash factory android 10 with flash_all – boot – check
flash CalyxOS – check – root – worked – back to stock with flash all Android 10 – check – all good
flash RR – check – root – buggy for me
flash Android 11 with flash_all – flash GrapheOS -- root -- some apps not working
flash SuperiorOS – root – flashed blu-spark kernel – remove unneeded stuff – restore backup – same bugs
flash factory – root – blu-spark – debloat – working on stock now.
All time I used flash-all and no any problems. And thank you for your suggestion to skip this tread!:good:

Awesome guide - Thank you!
FYI - To lock the bootloder, I had to use " fastboot flashing lock "

How To Guide Restore OnePlus 9 to Stock via Fastboot Commands

This guide assumes you have the SDK Platform Tools installed and working, along with USB drivers for your device (if needed), and have your full update zip which you've already extracted the payload.bin from, and then dumped the images using payload dumper. If you haven't done any of these things yet, there are plenty of other guides out there on how to do them.
Steps:
1. Reboot your device to the bootloader (power off, then hold volume up + power) and connect it to USB.
2. The following command will wipe your device. I found this to be necessary to recover my OnePlus 9:
Code:
fastboot -w
3. Now flash the following files:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cpucp cpucp.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash modem modem.img
fastboot flash oplusstanvbk oplusstanvbk.img
fastboot flash oplus_sec oplus_sec.img
fastboot flash qweslicstore qweslicstore.img
fastboot flash shrm shrm.img
fastboot flash splash splash.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_vendor vbmeta_vendor.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
fastboot flash vm-bootsys vm-bootsys.img
4. Now reboot into userspace fastboot, aka fastbootd. If you don't do this, the remaining files cannot be flashed:
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
5. Flash the remaining files:
Code:
fastboot flash abl abl.img
fastboot flash aop aop.img
fastboot flash bluetooth bluetooth.img
fastboot flash devcfg devcfg.img
fastboot flash dsp dsp.img
fastboot flash featenabler featenabler.img
fastboot flash hyp hyp.img
fastboot flash imagefv imagefv.img
fastboot flash keymaster keymaster.img
fastboot flash multiimgoem multiimgoem.img
fastboot flash qupfw qupfw.img
fastboot flash tz tz.img
fastboot flash uefisecapp uefisecapp.img
fastboot flash xbl xbl.img
fastboot flash xbl_config xbl_config.img
fastboot flash product product.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash system_ext system_ext.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash odm odm.img
6. Final reboot:
Code:
fastboot reboot
7. If everything worked your phone should now boot into OxygenOS.
Note:
The files will be flashed to your currently active boot slot. If any of them fail to flash, switch to the other slot and start over from the beginning. I wasn't able to flash odm, product, system, system_ext and vendor to slot a, and had to use slot b instead. To check current slot:
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
To switch slots:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=a
or
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b
Use this guide at your own risk. I take no responsibility if you brick your device, set it on fire, or otherwise mess it up as a result of any of the above steps. That being said, it worked for me using 11.2.2.2.LE25AA available from the official OnePlus support website.

If you want, you can do the flashing easily with powershell, rather than running each command one after the other. Here is what I did:
1. Have fastboot.exe in your path, or in the same folder as all your extracted images. Open powershell and navigate to the folder with your boot images. Connect your phone to USB.
2. This will wipe your device! Reboot to the bootloader and run:
Code:
fastboot -w
3. Run:
Code:
gci -filter *.img | where {$_.Name.split('.')[0] -match 'boot|cpucp|dtbo|modem|oplusstanvbk|oplus_sec|qweslicstore|shrm|splash|vbmeta|vbmeta_vendor|vbmeta_system|vendor_boot|vm-bootsys'} | foreach-object { fastboot.exe flash $($_.Name.split('.')[0]) $_.Name }
4. Run:
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
5. Run:
Code:
gci -filter *.img | where {$_.Name.split('.')[0] -match 'abl|aop|bluetooth|devcfg|dsp|featenabler|hyp|imagefv|keymaster|multiimgoem|qupfw|tz|uefisecapp|xbl|xbl_config|product|system|system_ext|vendor|odm'} | foreach-object { fastboot.exe flash $($_.Name.split('.')[0]) $_.Name }
6. Run:
Code:
fastboot reboot
7. Proceed to boot normally.
The commands in steps 3 and 5 get a list of all files in the current directory with the .img extension, filter them to the correct ones to flash, and then flash them one after another.
If someone wants, I can probably throw together a script to run the whole process start to finish.
Edit: script attached. I've (unfortunately) had the opportunity to test it and fix all the bugs. So it works. You will need to have fastboot.exe accessible in your system PATH to run it.

That would be helpful indeed. Would this script run on mac as well?

Not unless there's a version of PowerShell for macs (there is for Linux, but I don't know if it's compatible).

@Slikkster2k: I tried your tutorial. At first it did not work...serveral errors occure during copying one file. On the second run I had to change the slot, than it runs through.
But now I am in a boot loop, during starting the oxygen.
While wiping I got this message:
Code:
fastboot: error: Cannot generate image for userdata
Which version of the OS did you use?
I tried to install the actual european rom (11.2.3.3) on my indian device from china but this obviously did not work. Do you have any suggestions for me?

I used 11.2.2.2.LE25AA as I said in the original post (this is the global variant, which matches my device). I am not sure if this works for cross-flashing, or if it's possible to cross-flash an Indian phone to EU. Have you tried restoring the Indian ROM? Does that work?
You're getting an actual boot loop? The error I was getting (and the reason I had to restore) was the phone booting to the bootloader or fastbootd (depending on the slot I tried) instead of Oxygen, because it couldn't mount the user partition due to encryption. In fastbootd an error was reported (I forget the exact one) which made me suspect it was a partition mounting issue. At no point was my phone actually boot looping, even during partial/failed flashes.
I've never encountered the error with fastboot -w, but I only did that on my phone once. From some searching online, it can be caused by an old version of the platform tools, so did you download the latest version?

@Slikkster2k: First of all, thank you for providing help
In deed, what worked was the indian first version. This i could flash and from there on everything works. Up to OS and than installing the latest european os. Now everything ist fine...
The error while whiping did not occure while using the indian version...so no clue why...
But now it works for me, thank you!

PowerShell script added to second post. Totally untested, but I tried to make it as idiot proof as possible.

This guide assumes you have the SDK Platform Tools installed and working, along with USB drivers for your device (if needed), and have your full update zip which you've already extracted the payload.bin from, and then dumped the images using payload dumper. If you haven't done any of these things yet, there are plenty of other guides out there on how to do them.
Steps:
1. Reboot your device to the bootloader (power off, hold volume up + power) and connect it to USB.
2. The following command will wipe your device. I found this to be necessary to recover my OnePlus 9:
Code:
fastboot -w
3. Now flash the following files:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cpucp cpucp.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash modem modem.img
fastboot flash oplusstanvbk oplusstanvbk.img
fastboot flash oplus_sec oplus_sec.img
fastboot flash qweslicstore qweslicstore.img
fastboot flash shrm shrm.img
fastboot flash splash splash.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_vendor vbmeta_vendor.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
fastboot flash vm-bootsys vm-bootsys.img
4. Now reboot into userspace fastboot, aka fastbootd. If you don't do this, the remaining files cannot be flashed:
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
5. Flash the remaining files:
Code:
fastboot flash abl abl.img
fastboot flash aop aop.img
fastboot flash bluetooth bluetooth.img
fastboot flash devcfg devcfg.img
fastboot flash dsp dsp.img
fastboot flash featenabler featenabler.img
fastboot flash hyp hyp.img
fastboot flash imagefv imagefv.img
fastboot flash keymaster keymaster.img
fastboot flash multiimgoem multiimgoem.img
fastboot flash qupfw qupfw.img
fastboot flash tz tz.img
fastboot flash uefisecapp uefisecapp.img
fastboot flash xbl xbl.img
fastboot flash xbl_config xbl_config.img
fastboot flash product product.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash system_ext system_ext.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash odm odm.img
6. Reboot back into the bootloader:
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
7. You should now be able to continue booting normally by pressing the power button.
Note:
The files will be flashed to your currently active boot slot. If any of them fail to flash, switch to the other slot and start over from the beginning. I wasn't able to flash odm, product, system, system_ext and vendor to slot a, and had to use slot b instead. To switch slots:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=a
or
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b
Use this guide at your own risk. I take no responsibility if you brick your device, set it on fire, or otherwise mess it up as a result of any of the above steps. That being said, it worked for me using 11.2.2.2.LE25AA available from the official OnePlus support website.

My phone has been weird for a week or so occasionally freezing up and saying system ui has crashed or something so I followed these instructions last night to completely wipe and reset everything (after backing up). It worked perfectly!
My only suggestion would be for step 7 to be:
fastboot reboot
Since we're already using fastboot it's just quicker and less fiddly than using the power button

Thanks, updated OP.

ok i kind of bricked my phone using this and i need a little help PLEASE?
Ok i tried the fist 2 steps 1. fastboot -w than the first list of commands using cmd with admin rights it worked...i think but it did load everything without issues...now i go to do the "fastboot reboot fastboot"
and now my phone is stuck on a black screen with nothing and i just hear the chime windows makes when you disconnect and reconnect a device..... and in the Device manager this comes up for 10 seconds than goes away for 5 than comes back NON STOP
i cant adb i cant do anything please help !

I'm not sure if this will help you, but I had a lot of issues initially running this. First off you need to use the Oneplus drivers, I don't think the qualcom driver will work the same way. I could be wrong, but that's what I did. Secondly, you need to force install the driver because Windows doesn't like it.
Here are the steps I took.
1. Uninstall any old drivers.
2. Install the newest Oneplus Drivers from here https://oneplususbdrivers.com/
3. Extract the zip file and run the installer like normal
4. Once the installer finishes, you'll need to reboot your machine and bring up the Startup settings (hold down shift and reboot (keep holding down shift until you get a screen with options)) Then click advanced and startup settings and hit restart after that. Once the machines starts up, on the first boot you will have a bunch of options. Choose option 7 "disabling driver signature enforcement" mode.
5. Once Windows launches and you login, go back into the device manager and follow these steps:
right click the device --> update driver
Browse my computer for drivers
Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
Show all Devices --> Next
Have Disk (Button)
Navigate to where you installed Oneplus drivers (Default: C:\Program Files (x86)\OnePlus USB Drivers)
Select "OnePlus_android_winusb.inf"
Select "Oneplus Android Bootloader Interface" and then just hit next/OK until it installs.
You might need to reboot after doing the above, but this worked for me.
----------------------------------------
The above should get your drivers working properly in all modes (adb, fastbootd, bootloader, normal)
One other issue that I ran into when I was using the powershell script was that I was seeing intermittent errors. After trial and error I realized that Windows was picking up a different version of fastboot. I was initially using the minimal adb/fastboot files, but if you compare those to the ones listed in the first post in the "SDK Platform Tools", they are very different from each other, so you need to make sure you use the SDK Platform Tools version. The minimal ADB/Fastboot version will NOT work.
After I got those 2 things ironed out, the powershell script ran without a hiccup and my phone is stock and booting without an issue.
I know I'm late to respond to this thread, but I hope someone finds this information helpful!

Mine keeps trying this and it isn't running and or rebooting into Fastbootd when the script is ran. Should I just try and invoke this manually? I've tried that as well an I'm seeming to get errors left and right with no resolve.

I'd say try it manually and see where the errors happen. Does it boot into fastbootd at all?

Good work

Actually, I ended up making my phone hard bricked to the point where it doesn’t even turn on at this point. I’m just going to send it in for repair, which is nothing short of being due to my stupidity.

It's probably stuck in edl mode. Nothing on the screen, no vibration or anything but it shows up in device manager when connected to a computer?
Try the man tool mentioned Here that worked for me.

Fastboot boot twrp.img not working in mediatek chipset

Hello there.
I have a Redmi pad running on mediatek helio g99(Treble A/B partition)
I have recently compiled orangefox recovery for my device and trying to boot from the image so that i can make my recovery permanent. But i get the following error:
Code:
fastboot boot OrangeFox-Unofficial-yunluo.img
Sending 'boot.img' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.826s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Any solutions?

Obviously the Fastboot command "boot" isn't supported on your
XIAOMI REDMI PAD ​( Android 12, MIUI 13.1 ).

Also on devices that have a neutered version of fastboot (or none at all) you can use mtkclient which can also unlock bootloader, etc on the pesky ones.
You can find mtkclient on github.com :
GitHub - bkerler/mtkclient: MTK reverse engineering and flash tool
MTK reverse engineering and flash tool. Contribute to bkerler/mtkclient development by creating an account on GitHub.

If you're not really familiar with Linux, there's a gui for windows they were nice enough to include so it's not all terminal command line.

Do you have the recovery .img in the folder where fastboot.exe is located on your PC? If not, you will have to include a <path to flie> in your command line.

I dont have a recovery image for my device, its A/B partition with only boot image. And yes OrangeFox-Unofficial-yunluo.img is inside the same folder as fastboot.exe.

If you are trying to fastboot boot a TWRP or Orangefox recovery, you need a TWRP or Orangefox recovery.img to do it. There is a difference between a boot.img and a recovery.img.
Your posts are confusing and contradicting each other. To clarify, what exactly are you trying to boot? A boot.img or a recovery.img? The Orangefox .img you have is a boot.img or a recovery.img? Are you trying to boot a temporary TWRP session in order to install Orangefox recovery, or what? If you are using a boot.img, you should be trying to flash that boot.img instead of fastboot booting a TWRP or Orangefox recovery session. Typically, "fastboot boot" command is used to boot a temporary recovery session(usually on devices that have locked bootloader) and then use that temporary recovery session to flash a custom file or modify something on the device. Is your bootloader locked or unlocked? If it is unlocked, you should be able to flash your modified boot.img instead of having to fastboot boot TWRP or Orangefox.
Either you don't understand what you are doing or you are not wording yourself correctly and I'm misunderstanding your intent. Help me make sense of what you are trying to do and what you want your end result to be.

@Droidriven you are the noob here..

No. 10+ years is far from noob. I'm just trying to make sense of what they are after. In their first post, they said they had just compiled Orangefox recovery and the title says ("fastboot boot TWRP.img failed", this command is used to boot a recovery.img, not a boot.img) of which, both are recoveries but then they say they don't have a recovery.img and their original failed command says "boot.img". In my experience, to "fastboot boot TWRP.img" means to boot a temporary TWRP recovery session and then flashing/modifying from within that temporary recovery session, fastboot booting a boot.img is something completely different. I'm just trying to establish which of these is their actual goal. Now, do you see the convolutedness of what the title says and what their posts say and how the wording conflicts?
I've personally used fastboot boot TWRP.img command to boot a temporary TWRP recovery session, not a "boot.img". What they are describing is something different from that process but they are trying to use the same command that boots a temporary TWRP recovery session.
If they are trying to boot a "boot.img" then they should be using a "fastboot boot boot.img" command, not a "fastboot boot TWRP.img" command, correct? Again, conflicting information. Do you understand why I'm trying to clarify now?

see post #1 ghostranger047 for right usage.
the phone answered with FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
the correct answer is in post #2. on SAR devices, init is in / rootdir of system partition. in case boot.img/recovery.img itself contains no kernel/ramdisk, booting straight from fastboot no longer works (might be the reason why Xiaomi disabled that cmd, or he's simply in fastbootd).
fastboot boot accepts 1 argument (file). you are giving advise to pass 2 arguments. 1st argument 'recovery': No such file or directory, 2nd argument is ignored.
you with 10+ years experience for sure know that fastboot boot cmd always state Sending 'boot.img' (65536 KB) regardless of the file name provided, be it recovery.img or boot.img
OP is very clear in what he said. He wants to boot in his own compiled (orangefox, based on twrp) recovery.img, nothing else.
you are confusing yourself.
edit: btw fastboot boot is forbidden on locked bootloader, otherwise anyone could just boot into magisk patched boot.img

found another possible reason why fastboot boot won't work when it should.

Even worse than that "fastboot boot" works only if current slot is not marked as not bootable, so any try to launch TWRP fails once your in this mode.

Worth a try checking which slot is flagged bootable and set as active (the one with yes)
Code:

fastboot getvar slot-bootable

I used a tool that used a script with the fastboot boot command to boot a temporary TWRP img while in fastboot mode on a locked bootloader Intel Atom device. With A/B devices, partitions and where everything is at changed but the basic function of the commands changed very little.
As for the part you said about I should know that the command returns "sending boot.img", that has nothing to do with I said or why I said it, it has to do with the fact that the OP themselves stated that they didn't have a recovery .img, that they had a A/B device, that they were using a boot.img(not a recovery .img). See the confusion? You are confused by what I'm saying about being confused about what they are saying.

I think you got it

did you manage to run this on your device?

No System Partition? FAILED (remote: 'partition table doesn't exist')

We're trying to install a GSI ROM. We get the error FAILED (remote: 'partition table doesn't exist')
We ran
Code:
fastboot getvar all
and see all of the partition tables listed or at least most of them. We do not see a system partition listed.
Why would this be? If I create one, how would I do that? How would I get the correct size? I'm assuming
Code:
fastboot create-logical-partition [NAME SIZE]
?

Does anyone know if I cannot boot into fastbootd and only boot into fastboot, am I still able to create a partition? It seems this device is boot looped. I haven't been able to boot into recovery. I can only get fastboot and EDL modes. Stock firmware is not available.

Starting with Android 10 fastboot got moved to Android's user-space, what requires this pair of commands
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot reboot fastboot
to get fastboot working.

Thank you for the reply. I do understand that part, however I cannot get into adb. If it is stuck in a bootloop, how can I access adb?
The bootloader is unlocked and oem debugging is on. It is a Moxee M2160 MH-T6000 Qualcomm QM215. We cannot find any stock firmware for it.
