Fastbootd is part of stock recovery, it will look different than what you may be used to as being fastboot mode.

You should see options on screen to select just like stock recovery has.

One for boot to bootloader

One for boot to recovery.

When you confirm you are in fastbootd

You just use

fastboot flash system /some-directory-on -pc/gsi-system.img

You should see messages on screen

Resizing system

Sending sparce system chunck. 1 of x

Writing system chunck 1 of x

There could be more descriptive guide on flashing gsi on dyniamic partitions if your Search google, (xda).

But it is hard to guide you to fixing device, when I'm not sure how you got stuck. I mean the description you have said should not have made you loose system partition or fail to boot, so I said it before and will suggest it again. If you have a non booting device , the FIRST thing you should do is flash it with sp flash tool and full factory rom, before messing around with other stuff before you get into worse condition

Ok, I am back to a fully working device again, where I got stuck was that I do not have a system partition, thus I can't flash it. Whenever I try to flash it using fastboot flash system or anything else, it just says that I do not have a system partition
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoonPadUSer:
Where I am right now:

I am back to a fully working device after downloading the stock ROM from my manufacturer and plugging that into SP Flash tool

After that I researched and figured out that the super partition I have basically acts like a container for

system.img, boot.img and vendor.img

which explains while simply flashing LineageOS.img to my super partition (

fastboot flash system Lineage.img

) resulted in

my device not booting anymore.

I found a tool which can unpack those super.img into system, boot and vendor

(using this youtube video: https://youtu.be/J5cQdzivtXk)

I used that to unpack the super.img which I got from my stock ROM and

now I have system.raw, boot.raw and vendor.raw, I do not know what kind of file these are but my plan is to replace system.whatever with the lineageos.img and then repack it into super.img which I can then use to flash the super partition on my phone

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
[MENTION=11174087]MoonPadUSer[/MENTION]

fastboot flash system Lineage.img

must have failed.

Reason: This command tries to write a complete Lineage OS ( what itself contains a partition named /system, too ) into phone's Android's current /system partition - what only is 1 partition of multiple ones that exist.

Note: You can't flash a Custom ROM by means of Fastboot.

Remember OP wants to install LineageOS 17.1 what isn't a GSI as it is with LineageOS 18.x
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoonPadUSer:
Actually... I don't really care about the version all that much, whatever works, just didn't know if 18x is supported
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orions_Cat:
Downside to Lineage GSI is for Umidigi you can't flash gapps. So unless someone adds it to the gsi for you it's best to use something else.

I went with this

https://xdaforums.com/project-trebl...velopment/aosp-10-0-quack-phh-treble-t3992559

You have to get the AB version with GAPPS if you want them

Comes pre rooted as well and gave my phone a huge speed boost

Flash the stock ROM

Unlock bootloader

fastboot flashing unlock

(unnecessary if already unlocked)

fastboot flashing unlock_critical

enter fastboot

fastboot reboot (to enter fastbootd)

fastboot erase system

(optional but I had to do this myself)

fastboot delete-logical-partition product - deletes the product partition, allowing a larger system partition

fastboot flash system (gsi file)

And you're good

Don't try to install magisk because it causes a bootloop. Even when installing it through the app. Once the boot image is patched you're in a bootloop until you reflash the stock boot

Made a generic ish Umidigi flashing tutorial because it's the same in all of them I've had so far

Hi

I recently upgraded a Honor 5c to Nougat(which works)NRD90M test keys build. I did this through Flashfire to try and preserve root. It failed(what a surprise).

The device is recognised now with 'fastboot devices', by running ADB using root in Linux.

I can get into bootloader screen using fastboot and have unlocked the phone AGAIN to be sure. BUT, cannot flash TWRP which is vital. The error now is:

Sending 'boot.img' (24464 KB) OKAY [ 0.869s]

Booting FAILED (remote: 'Command not allowed') fastboot: error: Command failed

This suggests the phone is locked which is absurd. I think this is a permission problem within Android, it that possible?

It doesn't matter how I'm going to root, if I can't communicate the whole thing is usesless.

The same issue continues with ADB in Win10

Any thoughts hear, because I've trawled Google.

thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
To clarify things: ADB and Fastboot are 2 completly different things. Fastboot deals with device's bootloader, whereas ADB deals with device's Android OS.

Run this command sequence

fastboot devices
fastboot getvar all 2>%TEMP%\phoneinfo.txt
fastboot reboot
type "%TEMP%\phoneinfo.txt" | more

which will get you a list of various variables on the phone with model and such useful things.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliffhanger54:
Excuse if this format is incorrect

Thanks for that.

Sure

MQH4C17330000094	fastboot

Returns to prompt

Works

getvar:all FAILED (remote: 'Command not allowed')

Finished. Total time: 0.005s

Same thing again

Cliff
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
That a Fastboot cmd does not work ( e.g. error Command not allowed ) is not unusual because Fastboot is different from version to version and also depends on how OEM/Carrier implemented it.

Again:

Bootloader and Android OS are different things, as this is same on PC where UEFI/BIOS and Windows OS are different things, too. A device's bootloader doesn't depend on any permissions granted within device's OS. A bootloader is a kind of software that runs as soon as you start up your phone. It tells the phone which programs are loading in order to make your phone run smoothly. This software packages all the instructions that are supposed to boot the Android OS, and initializes hardware and serves as security checkpoint.

Don't mix things up.

BTW:

Whether device's bootloader is unlockable / is already unlocked or not is stored in system file named build.prop.

adb devices
adb shell "getprop ro.oem_unlock_supported"

If returned value is 1, then unlocking bootloader is supported otherwise it's not.

or

fastboot devices
fastboot oem device-info

If "Device unlocked: true" is shown then bootloader is unlockedd.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliffhanger54:
Thanks again for answering. I understand what you say. I've used Linux for 20 years and understand the differences. But where does this leave us/me. I should be able to flash TWRP into the recovery partition surely? Or are we dependent on software versions here as you say? It would be relatively easy in Linux and of course Android is based on it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
TWRP completely removes device's default /recovery partition if it exists ( exists only on A-only Android devices), TWRP creates its own in device's /boot partition.

To flash TWRP on A-only ( or on current active boot slot if it's an A/B ) device

fastboot devices
fastboot flash boot <PATH_ON_PC_TO_YOUR_TWRP_IMAGE_HERE>
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliffhanger54:
Thanks I think I've tried this one. I do get a different response though:

'fastboot: error: cannot get boot partition size'

I've seen suggestions that formating the boot partition is required - sounds extreme.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliffhanger54:
Yes wouldn't that be great. Have tried that from the beginning when I couldn't flash TWRP.

Put the Update.app on the SDcard, reboot the phone, hold down the buttons(tried them all), Bingo, it always takes me to eRecovery and how useless that is.

I have backups of Marshmallow with TWRP and Flashfire, which is why I took the flash TWRP route.

Wish I'd never upgaded now, although was forced to because of banking.

Right. After many attempts at other things I became convinced this was a locked bootloader problem despite the phone saying it was unlocked. Anyway have persisted in unlocking the phone several times and am now at a screen saying 'Your device is unlocked' but it also says 'you device is booting now'. But that's as far as it goes. If I turn the phone off it comes back to this screen and holding the power button+-volume also comes back to this screen, i.e I can't turn it off. How do I get back to the bootloader/fastboot mode or is this a genuine brick?

thanks

Cliff

Okay finally solved it. Let the battery run down as all I was getting was a bootloop. I was then able to get into fastboot mode with the necessary keys. From here i flashed TWRP but this required numerous attempts with different versions, finally got '3.1.1 venus' to load and the rest was straight forward!

thanks to everyone

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] desix:
Recently bought S20+ BTS Edition. Upon first install, the system mentioned that I got special edition privileges and changed the default theme to BTS Edition special theme, which seemed really nice although I have no interest and knowledge about BTS :)

Later that day, I've updated the ROM of the device to another country with the latest updates. Then, when setting up the device within the new ROM, it did not show the special edition message and did not install the special edition theme. The theme is not also to be found anywhere. I think with installing new ROM, I've lost special edition privileges as well as theme and others if there are any.

Is there any way to revert it or solve this issue?

Thanks in advance.

You need to reflash your original firmware.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] deXtrous:
Hey I just got my TyTN II yesterday and I am completely unhappy with speed and functionality of the standard OS (or ROM??)

I saw ThrottleLauncher and by the looks of it it is amazing, now I went to their website and saw the small tutorial.

This is the installation instructions but after I downloaded this

I unzipped the ThrottleLauncher_0.9.3.zip file and within were 2 more zipped files, not two .cab files as the tutorial says..

I assume I just unzip these two folders and then copy the whole folders over to my phone..?

One other question, are there any backup/safety precautions I should do before installing ThrottleLauncher?

The reason I make this thread is because I'm unaware of what ThrottleLauncher really is, is it a ROM?? an SPL??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Sayuuk:
TL is pure software, you won't flash/overwrite anything that can't be undone.

If you're unhappy with TL and can't remove it, just do a hard-reset!

Stefan
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] deXtrous:
Hey thanks for the reply, but its still quite unclear to me how to begin using TL.

Do I need to CID-Unlock my phone?

Is this a HardSPL or SoftSPL?? (Not even really sure the difference between the two..)

Can I make TL run automatically rather than having to open the application through WM6.1?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Sayuuk:
An SPL is a bootloader, so no, it's not.

About the usage:

I found it too slow and not useful so I removed it after a few minutes (had it cooked into a ROM, so I don't know about the installation process).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] vj4:
hey firstly welcome to xda! may u enjoy your time here. TL is purely software so no spl or cid unloks are needed this is only to flash a new rom. (i highly recommend L26 v10 with throttle launch btw). its ace and hs TL built in and running ace. but if you dont want to go that route fair enough i nearly had a fit when i first did it to my new baby. sounds like you got most of it instaled it shud now be a program u run from programs or if u you go into settings then today then on the other tab at the botom (cant remember the name) you shud be able to tick TL and have it boot on your today screen. but as the other guys sed sorry dude forgt your name. it will be incredibly slow i had that problem aswell. And in my opinion you would be better flashing to a new rom. ( follow wiki word for word) i hold no responsiblity to what ever happens to you phone tho. i will investigate the zip file you got and see what i can turn up about the zip files.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] deXtrous:
