I guess you don't have recovery as well...

Well, we need to dig in Chinese forums to find edl option, since I don't see any other way.
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] T1MOXA:
Before lock, I installed TWRP, but idk if it's still there.

UMF cable will help me ?
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] badreddine uday:
Me i too i got same your problem i bricked my realme x2 i still didnt find the solution to flash it again
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] narshi shukla:
Maybe contact service center
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] yakovpol:
Try booting with both VolUp and VolDown pressed. The screen should be black, but computer should see 9008 device (Qualcomm Download mode). If it works, search through Internet for Snapdragon 730G programmer and proper boot files.

Another option is devices alike Medusa Box; they seem to have underground connections with manufactors, they may provide a solution too.

EDIT. Thanks to the clarification from [MENTION=7523399]T1MOXA[/MENTION], you can enter EDL mode by holding VolUp and VolDown and plugging the switched off phone to a computer.
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] razu031:
first confirm that your device is fully turn off and connect a usb cable to the PC by pressing Vol (-) at the same time and you will be in fastboot mood.
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] T1MOXA:
I've tried this option before, but it led me to the same error screen.

I turned off the phone with a single press of the power button, then pressed all the buttons at the same time.
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] T1MOXA:
I just got the same error.

When you connect the cable, the phone boots with the same error.
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] T1MOXA:
Unofficial ?

They too bad in my country.

They can easily make it worse.
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] T1MOXA:
I can buy a UMF cable, but whether it will help me I do not know.

What do you think ?
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] T1MOXA:
Good news...

My phone is defined on the PC as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM 5)" by connecting and pressing all the volume keys.

Only I don't know if it gives me anything and what to do next...
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] narshi shukla:
Most phones will be able to flash in this mode using qfil tool,

But first you need to find necessary firmware, idk if stock rom downloaded from official site will work or not, maybe fastboot one will work.

This mode is called emergency download mode (edl).

But pls do a lil research as its a newly launched device and you can easily mess it up.

BTW exact same error(boot recovery destroyed) is common error on realme Phones and it can be fixed by flashing vbmeta.img using fastboot.
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] narshi shukla:
See attached image for reference only

The 1kb vbmeta is modified to bypass boot verification.

Idk if such vbmeta is available for x2.

If not then flashing stock vbmeta might work.

Today I experience same.

What can I do now?
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] DoYouWantFriesWithThat:
So it seems I've joined the club. The Realme X2 had just arrived today.

My ROM was: RMX1993EX_11_A.14

What I've done:

1) Unlock Bootloader with the in-depth testing official app

2) flash TWRP and VBMETA PATCHER according to this thread https://xdaforums.com/realme-x2/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-realme-x2-t4011231

3) flash Magisk.zip ....and BOOM

With all due respect, the instructions could be written better.

Oh well.

I'll follow the workflow posted above.
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] DoYouWantFriesWithThat:
Hi, what is an ozip and what do you mean with buy the password of the firmware ?

[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] mutulica13:
To resove the problem flash stock recovery ( see description download links )

[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] T1MOXA:
In my case I can't flash anything because I can't load bootloader or recovery of everything else.

When I hold V+ and POWER I get error.

When I hold V- and POWER I get error.

[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] RiValNJ:
I also got same problem , did you have resolved the problem if so can you help me
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] dalda123:
When to use?

-> If first time custom recovery installation is messed up because forgot to intall vbmeta_disabler in Recovery.

-> If you messed up and now stuck on fastboot mode and cannot go to recovery or system.

-> When your device is automatically rebooting to fastboot every 10-15 seconds.

-> Can also be used if you get a boot destroyed screen on trying to reboot to system and recovery.

How to use?

-> Download your vbmeta.img file of your device and put it inside your ADB or Platform Tools folder

-> Open CMD in ADB (You know it)

ADB commands :

💻 Type "fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img" (Don't press enter yet)

-> Connect Usb to PC and long press device's volume down and power button to go to fastboot mode ( In some cases Fastboot mode remains only for few seconds)

-> When you see fastboot mode in your Smartphone then you press ENTER in your PC

-> If you see "success" in cmd then you can reboot to your custom recovery

This step worked for me. I just needed to have the correct version vbmeta.img file. Thanks for this step.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Khalbrae:
I have a Google Pixel I had gotten used I have been using it stock on Android 10.

But seeing as how the security updates won't be comnig anymore I wanted to keep it secure in the future with Lineage OS and TWRP to update it regularly.

I followed the instructions here:

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/sailfish/install

I have gotten the loader unlocked and it wiped my phone. But I can't get TWRP to work.

The downloads for the TWRP version for Pixel doesn't have an IMG file to load and trying to load the individual files in the archive does not seem to work. I also tried renaming the zip file and it did not work.

Here is the download page.

https://dl.twrp.me/sailfish/twrp-pixel-installer-sailfish-3.3.0-0.zip.html

I can't seem to find any guides on how to do this. I want to keep my pixel up to date with the latest Android 10 updates and the only way will be loading the latest roms manually via TWRP. Please help.

https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/ also doesn't seem to apply

Anybody have any ideas?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] jungletek:
Uh, how did you miss the files here? dl.twrp.me/sailfish/

.img files right there dude, and if you go to the page before the download page on the TWRP site (twrp.me/google/googlepixel.html), it tells you how to install it or just boot it temporarily.

Extracting the .zip files is super wrong.

Edit: also in my recent experience (the other day), the latest version of TWRP for Pixel (twrp-3.3.1-0-sailfish.img) doesn't seem to handle encrypted storage properly (it wasn't prompting me for my PIN), so use the version before that (twrp-3.3.0-0-sailfish.img).
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Khalbrae:
Yeah I was blind.

I have some other issues though. After installing Lineage I can't seem to push the google services or root capabilities to the SDCARD before booting into the OS. And booting into the OS means it's too late. And doing a wipe to install them properly erases the contents of /SDCARD/

A real ***** of a situation.

Also the default Lineage OS recovery (if attempting it instead of TWRP) doesn't seem to allow installing via files and can't pull properly with ADB either.
[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
Hey guys I know things have been slow af for this device lately but trust me all is not dead for any of those interested I have made a users chat on telegram via private link let me know if you are interested

Update : PINNED LINK

[Shield General] 50up3r9uy:
Interested here. Looking for any android 6+ updates to test out xcloud.
[Shield General] moonhop7:
I'm tinkering with my Portable as well . I currently have Linage OS on it and am able to install NVIDIA Games on it . Geforce Now will not stream however and I get an "error code 11". I also was not able to download Xcloud game streaming .

Let me ask you about your portable . If you are on stock firmware ( Lollipop) , do you randomly lose volume -like if the headphones where plugged in ? This happens on mine . If I'm on Kit Kat it's fine but I can't use Geforce Now or anything .

I've been racking my brain over this for awhile - there is still some life in this device and would like to resolve this issue.
[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
I need to get a stock OTA zip currently I can't find it in any of my archives I've also been pretty busy lately as for any issues pertaining to the stock OTA I can't take a look until later on I will be setting up a build environment to see if I can build stock again from source (not sure how likely it will be) I have been hearing a lot of issues with stock OTA now I am honestly not sure if that is due to issues with it or if some of these devices aren't aging well

Also any of you looking to reach me with any questions I don't check XDA much so here's a telegram link to the chat pinned to first post
[Shield General] moonhop7:
Here's every recovery image from NVIDIA official complete with flashing instructions .:good:

[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
I was hoping for a flashable zip but I can work with this I'll have to set up Ubuntu 14.04 (for some reason I've had issues building on up to date Linux mint distros) I'll update you guys with what I can find hopefully I can release a modded stock with custom kernel I had some success updating the kernel with RR but I don't have a new kernel out yet as it was just for ****s and giggles anyway I gotta jet to work I'll update as I can
[Shield General] moonhop7:
lol - This device !! I've decided I'm not giving up yet ! I've tried stock L ( 103, 106, 110 ) All have this weird sound issue where the speakers will either make heart attack inducing high pitches ( capacitor noises ? ) or the volume will force itself into "silent mode" . You can restart the portable and the sound will come back , calm down ect. This is really bothering me though because game streaming is still really good on this device . Also when on official Kit Kat or Linage OS none of these sound problems occur. I've even tried rooting it and basically removing all Google apps possible and the sound issue still happens .

Currently I have the portable rooted with Magisk on Linage OS 6.1 ( the last nightly build) I've tried hiding the NVIDIA apps , Sony PS4 Remote Play and have had "no luck ". Geforce Now will install perfectly start to load the game , then right before it starts there is a error code 11 that pops up .

Something Google did in the lollipop update to the portable messed up the speakers . ( I thought it might be the "memory leak issue" - but the last update OFW was 5.1 not 5.0

Haaaalllppp !!! :P
[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
Can you pull some logcats for me on stock and I'll try to see if something if off also are you over clocking or anything or using a kernel tuner?

Also when you pull the logs send em to me either via telegram or via PM but please put it in pastebin and just send me the link
[Shield General] moonhop7:
Okay will do. I'm not using over clocking or even root when on stock . I wanted a pure as experience as possible to see what was causing the issue .
[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
I am not sure tbh what the issue could be and I'm not going to be able to look for a bit kinda had some issues with my roommate and Im currently looking for a new place so don't worry im still going to look at it but priorities
[Shield General] moonhop7:
No worries . I did read on some old NVIDIA forums around the time of the Lollipop update , some people did talk about sound loss issues .
[Shield General] Shieldboy:
Hey, question to anyone who can answer - I just got my hands on a couple of Shield Portable 2 prototypes. They seem a bit less complete than the famous one that showed up at a pawn shop a couple of years ago, but one of them turns on and can connect to the internet. I want to see if I can get it up and running - it's still quite buggy, will crash if any videos are opened and obviously doesn't have any google services involved - but I just want to do what I can to make it as usable as possible. . I'm a complete noob when it comes to all this, just someone who was a big fan of the original portable and wanted to try and get this prototype to run some games. If anyone can help me out, or point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Thank you!
[Shield General] moonhop7:
I'm wondering if you could dump the system info , if someone could make a custom rom that could be flashed ?
[Shield General] little oz2:
I'm interested in anything that people manage with streaming.

I got lineage android 6.1 installed on it yesterday and managed to get the xbox game streaming app installed via the apk (the latest one boots then crashes, but the one before loads), however it still requires a bluetooth controller to connect, wish we could get the integrated controller to work with this and would make it so perfect for streaming xbox remotely.
[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
If anyone is wondering yes I am still working on the device as we all know this year has been a real doozy for us all also I am moving across the US this coming week so please just work with all the devs here and we shall see what happens
[Shield General] AndroidFileHost:
Awesome glad to hear it. Just revived mine.

I am working on gathering all Shield portable files and putting them up on our website AFH. Let me know when you have something ready and I will make sure it gets put on every server possible and doesn't get deleted.

Here is what I have gathered so far

[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
Oddly enough guys I've been having issues pulling the manifest from RR I've told them about the issue we'll see if it gets fixed it looks like I am not having any issues pulling aosp manifest keep in mind I am not saying that I will have a aosp rom out because I am unsure if that will even work but we will see what happens

Update: no issues with AOSP now I'm just waiting for lineage to finish again no promises of a rom guys I know we've been having issues since 7.x android quite frankly I'd be surprised myself if lineage 17.1 will even work

Also on some personal notes this is 100% a back burner project as it looks as tho I'll be having to move again as I haven't been able to find work where I am currently at I know that the whole covid-19 situation has made it hard on everyone especially here in the US among other things in the country right now but I am still hopeful things will turn around and work out and hopefully I can get some kind of build out even if it's not great
[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
PM me Im not really sure about the prototypes but I'd be willing to help
[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
Not sure I know RR 6.0.1 had quite a few bugs but due to how outdated 6.x is I can't really do much with it
[Shield General] little oz2:
What are you working on currently on this device?
[Shield General] AndroidFileHost:
Thanks for the update! Fingers crossed we can get some sort of 7.x working :) Thanks for your efforts.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance
[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
Shoot me a PM and we'll see
[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
My RR 6.0.1 build
[Shield General] little oz2:
Let me know if you need anyone to test anything?

Would really love to get Xbox streaming / xcloud and the built in controller to work, so if there is anything I can do to help send me a PM
[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
Attempting a test build today fingers crossed that I can get around to testing it today

Update: currently running into issues with mesa3d for invalid gpu driver so I'm currently trying to work around this it says warning: invalid gpu driver: grate so if I can get a work around that'll be step one this has been one of the main issues we've come across with roth since 7.0 came out so any devs with more experience than me if you have any ideas please chime in

Another update: about 4 hours in and it's just one thing after another guys I can't say when or if a build will be out I fix one thing or find a work around and then bam another thing it is part of the headache of working with a device as old as our dear portables I'm still cracking on this but this will probably be the last update I have for a bit
[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
Will do currently running a build that will take priority currently
[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
Alright guys so 6d ago was my last update I spent 3 days on the road across country 3k mi (don't attempt that in 3d lol) so with me just getting into the state im at now about 2d now or so I am waiting for my replacement charger to come in for my laptop and going to be going to job interviews etc I should be back to testing here soon but between looking for work etc I don't expect to have a massive amount of progress updates but I'm alive I know some of you knew about my trip via PM so this is just kind of a general update hopefully I will have my charger by the end of today (depends on amazon) but work shall resume asap thanks for sticking through it guys and I will release whatever I get working regardless of if it's buggy or not as long as it boots up properly you'll see something I hope
[Shield General] AndroidFileHost:
Awesome! Thanks for the update
[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
Hard at work still it's uh still a huge project guys got passed quite a few errors today but I am certain that I still have a long way to go but hey a bright side note on my last run for tonight I got a solid 15min build time before my newest error so I can happily say that yes progress is happening but I'm still not sure how it will all go and I mean even after I get a build going I'm 100% positive there will be a boat load of debugging please keep in mind guys lineage 17.1 is not supported at all so not only am I having to learn how android 10 changed everything I knew to a extent I am also trying to bring a dead device back it is not easy I'd love to get my hands on a dalmore board (dev board) but I can't find one anyway so I'm also stuck using the bathroom stock roth hardware so my updates may not be much but I'm not giving up yet regardless of how much of a headache this is

Update: 10/9

So I'm still trying to figure out an error but no idea yet also I am finally back to work so not sure how long I'll be working on the issue I've reached out to a few people we'll see what's up I myself am surprised how far I've gotten already but I'll get it eventually lol I'll try to keep you guys updated as much as I can
[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
Hey guys not really an update but if anyone knows where I can get my hands on the stock ota let me know
[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
Guys lineage 17.1 right now for this device is dead in the water working with so many errors I'm trying to get around a lot of it but basically it seems as though I am the only one still trying with this device I have currently downgraded my linux distro and I'm seeing if there's anything I can do with any of the 6.x and lineage 15.0 releases I am also trying to get the stock files to sync I'm not sure if any of this will help with learning how some of the older drivers where used and if I can get them to work somehow in the newer versions at this point I don't even think i can get a updated version of TWRP out until I can figure out the kernel issues and the driver issues I am currently putting in 40hrs at work over the next 3 days so I have my linux box syncing everything and we'll see if I can get anything out sadly even if it's a 6.x update of RR or something I'll try to make sure whatever comes out is as stable as I can make it I am still working on this and just going to continue trying to get everything up to date although some of the old devs have told me it's pretty much impossible to do so but we shall see
[Shield General] RLShiftyDoggit:
It's been awhile since y'all have heard from me I know and I've been kinda stuck at work a lot 10-13hr shifts lately currently I am working on some of my own repos (especially to try to tinker with 6.x) so basically at this point I'm on standby with this lineage 17.1 is still at a stand still I made some progress on lineage 15 and slight on 16 but not much as mainly I'm trying to get 17.1 out the 15 and 16 are litterally only for testing so I probably won't release anything on that note good news is I did however get my hands on the stock OTA 110 6.x zip I have not however been able to pull the source code I'm not sure if nvidia has taken it down as when I repo sync it literally starts says fetching 0/0 objects I maybe able to get the files myself and keep them on my github but as for right now this is still a headache and with little time I don't have much to contribute right now as updates however I will this week be uploading the stock OTA to my android file host where you can find my RR 6.0.1 ROMs also anyone wondering about a up to date versions of TWRP we aren't there yet on the list tho
