Fastboot Driver

I am trying to put a ROM on the TF300. I have Unlocked the tablet and installed the ADB driver. When I boot into recovery and the USB icon it asks for a driver for fastboot. I can't seem to get that anywhere. I have the Android SDK installed and java etc. Where is the driver located? I look in the USB driver folder but its not in their...

If you need just fastboot, use this guide, that you will find in the index for tf300 (General & Dev forums)
HELP FOR FLASH MORE FASTER WHEN YOU USE FASTBOOT LINE COMMAND​
If you have got a problem with your adb or fastboot or recovery....it's very simply and faster
use this:
Download this file "fastboot.zip"
Install this file somewhere in one folder which is named "fastboot" on your PC
=> disk C: root
Unzipped this file on the folder "fastboot" and you will find 3 files:
- adb.exe
- AdbWinApi.dll
- fastboot.exe
and when you need to push something by the bootloader, you can use it.
Don't forget to push on this folder the file that you need. For exemple: boot.img or a recovery.img, etc...
The line command is :
Code:
c:\fastboot>
Enter
Code:
c:\fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Enter

stock recovery in fastboot menu?

Hello, if i start the phone pushing power an vol down going to fastboot theres a recovery menu, how does it work? Can i make a full backup via this stock recovery menu? Does anybody know the others fastboot menu feature?

To learn more fastboot features in cmd or terminal type fastboot. The stock recovery image is bugged,and you can't do nand backups with it. Some command you may want to become familiar with are fastboot flash (insert what you are flashing)

Here is the info.
Normal power up : It simply reboots your device.
Recovery : takes you to recovery menu of your device. From here you can flash any ROM, backup or restore your device, factory reset or do any other kind of tweak.
Factory : Deletes all the user data. (I.e. all your apps)
Switch console : I don't know what it does.
Barcodes and BP tools just provide you with some info of your device.

Is It Possbile For E5 Play To Be Rooted and Encrypted At the Same Time?

Hello all,
I successfully rooted my phone, so that's good. Part of the instructions are to remove the encryption. Now that it's rooted would it be possible to turn encryption back on? What would happen if I deleted /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom? I'm sure I'd lose my /sdcard/ stuff, but I just did anyway to remove the encryption. (Magisk Manager has settings "Preserve force encryption" and "Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity" that I'm not sure what does, but I suspect it's something to do with encryption).
Thanks

Kinda answered my own question. I ran across a menu pick in settings somewhere and clicked on "Encrypt Phone", "note this will take an hour" or something like that. It seems that the phone is encrypted and rooted at this point. What's the old adage, "What could possibly go wrong?", "There's only one way to find out!" TWRP is still on the recovery partition, but can't decrypt the phone. So, probably no backup from TWRP. I wonder what the other drawbacks might be? Hmm.

We have posted TWRP that decrypts so you can ditch my decrypt.zip and you may stay rooted and encrypted as you wish.

Excellent. Thank you!
Well, wait a minute. I put recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-james.img on a Moto-E5 Play (XT1921-2) and it wouldn't boot into recovery. Put previous recovery on and boots into recovery, but of course no decrypt.
This talks about Hanna being updated. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79697573&postcount=56
Is twrp-3.3.1-0-james.img supposed to work?
Thanks

Successfully Updated System On Rooted, Encrypted Moto E5 Play
I'm not seeing a lot of information about my particular phone here - Moto E5 Play I bought at Target, XT1921-2. So, I'll post my notes about how I updated it. Note, these are notes - not instructions. Maybe they'll help somebody though. Also note, I'm kinda flying by the seat of my pants here. I really don't know if this is the best/easiest way to update the system. For instance, I'm using a TWRP that doesn't support encryption on this phone. I'm going to try the Hannah TWRP that claims to support encryption at some point, but I haven't yet. All that being said, here's what I did (and it worked).
Code:
# These are notes, not instructions. They assume you know stuff like power
# off before inserting or removing SD card.
# Retrieve un-encrypted SD card from hiding place unknown by adversaries and install in phone.
# Change to Swipe security in case something goes bad.
# Titanium Backup in case something goes bad.
# Copy stuff from /sdcard/ to /external_sd/ in case something goes bad.

[HOW-TO] Flash A/B Treble GSI ROMs without TWRP

Android devices can have different designs, so there is no generic command or set of instructions for flashing a GSI to apply to all devices. Specially for Xperias am i writing this Guides for You. So please read carefully...
1. Ensure that You have the following before You start:
Latest Fastboot Version (Or the used fastboot commands may not work)
A Method for disabling Android Verified Boot (Part of the Guide)
An unlocked Bootloader State (Official Instructions HERE)
To Start:
Download the Basic Package from Google: https://developer.android.com/topic/generic-system-image/releases
Download the AOSP Vendor Package from Sony: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/downloads/software-binaries
Open up the Zip Files and place the 3 included Images on Your fastboot destination
Boot Your Device into Fastboot:
Code:
Turn off Your Device and hold VolumeUP while connecting via USB to a PC or use ADB to reboot to fastboot
Disable the verified booting (AVB) by flashing vbmeta.img:
Code:
fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Flash the Vendor to the Primary A Slot OEM:
Code:
fastboot flash oem_a nameofthesonyoemimage.img
Repeat to flash to the B Slot OEM
Code:
fastboot flash oem_b nameofthesonyoemimage.img
Flash the GSI to the Primary A Slot System:
Code:
fastboot flash system_a system.img
Repeat to flash to the B Slot System
Code:
fastboot flash system_b system.img
Wipe the user data and clear the data from other necessary partitions (for example, user data and system partitions):
Code:
fastboot -w
Reboot:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Additional:
You can use any Android 9+ GSI out of the XDA Forum here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
To get Magisk/Root; just patch Your actual Kernel with the Magisk Manager App and flash the Boot Image together with the GSI (Example below)

How To Guide Guide to flash images in Linux

as we known, there's a famous tool called Tiny Script Tool to flash our custom systems. but i hate windows, is there a way to flash images in linux? at lease in linux there's no driver needs to all adb devices, thats perfect!
this guid will led you to do it in linux.
as Moto edge s is a dynamic partition device, these options suite to all devices with super block.
maybe YOU HAVE TO USE ROOT OR SUDO TO ACCESS YOUR DEVICE. change to root user if you can't access your device in linux.
# automatic tool:
i've wrote it as a script tool, see https://github.com/superiums/TrinyFlashScript
# manually steps:
## 刷机步骤
1. 备份app
Bash:
#!/bin/bash
backdirs='/dev/shm/app_backup/'
if [ ! -d "$backdirs" ]; then
mkdir $backdirs
fi
# user 0
backdir='/dev/shm/app_backup/0/'
if [ ! -d "$backdir" ]; then
mkdir $backdir
fi
adb shell pm list packages --user 0 -3 -f |awk '{ORS="\n";sub(/package:/,"adb pull ");sub(/apk=/,"apk '$backdir'");print($0".apk;");print("")}' >$backdir'dolist.sh'
sh $backdir'dolist.sh'
# ----------back app for user 10, if you have insular installed in your phone, this is needed!!! ********otherwise, skip.*******
backdir='/dev/shm/app_backup/10/'
if [ ! -d "$backdir" ]; then
mkdir $backdir
fi
adb shell pm list packages --user 10 -3 -f |awk '{ORS="\n";sub(/package:/,"adb pull ");sub(/apk=/,"apk '$backdir'");print($0".apk;");print("")}' >$backdir'dolist.sh'
sh $backdir'dolist.sh'
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. 备份数据
Bash:
adb pull /sdcard/Downlad .
3. 重启到fastboot模式,刷写非动态分区
> **非动态分区包括**:
>
> - vbmeta
> - vbmeta_system
> - boot
> - vendor_boot
> - dtbo
Bash:
adb reboot bootloader
# 或 volumne- & power 开机
# 验证是否fastbootd模式
fastboot getvar is-userspace
# 应返回 no
fastboot flash [partition][_slot] [image]
# clear userdata and meta
fastboot -w
4. 重启到fastbootd模式,刷新动态分区
> **super分区包括**:
>
> - system
> - system_ext
> - vendor
> - product
Bash:
fastboot reboot fastboot
# 验证是否fastbootd模式
fastboot getvar is-userspace
# 应返回 yes
fastboot flash [partition][_slot] [image]
6. 双清
Bash:
fastboot erase userdata
#或
fastboot -w
#完成,重启到新系统
fastboot reboot
7. 设置系统
Bash:
#-------------for chinese users only, because they are blocked by the GFW and not able to connect to google.--------------
#Android 7及之后的版本输入如下两个命令,设置网络检测地址:
adb shell settings put global captive_portal_http_url http://www.google.cn/generate_204
adb shell settings put global captive_portal_https_url https://www.google.cn/generate_204
#可以输入如下命令, 禁止检测网络连接状态.
adb shell settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0
#---------------------------------
#---------- if you are concern to your private data, this is usefull.
#强制开启分区存储
adb shell sm set-isolated-storage on
9. 恢复软件及数据
Bash:
cd 0
ls -1 *.apk | xargs -ti -n 1 adb install --user 0 {}
#------------- after install insular--------------------
cd 10
ls -1 *.apk | xargs -ti -n 1 adb install --user 10 {}
adb push ./Downloads/* /sdcard/Downloads/
hopes this help.

the insular mentioned above is this package: com.oasisfeng.island.fdroid.apk
which will create sperate user space for your storage , called "work profile".
if you bricked your device, try these options:
(Every flash lover should backup a stock image for future!)
