I cannot find fastboot files, adb files and moto-fastboot. I recently had to reinstall windows on my computer and lost all my original files. Can someone link me to where I can download all there of these sets?

there ya go
Thanks! Any links on the adb and fastboot files?
I am trying to flash Tenfars CWM and am having trouble, I had that moto-fastboot file in the same directory (In my case C:/root) with the img file but it says moto-fastboot is not a recognized command. There is mention of a moto-fastboot.rar with everything you would presumably need but I cannot find it.

Lets say you hate using fastboot, but the ROM you want is only available in a fastboot version. Here is how to convert a group of fastboot images into recovery backups.
First of all, you need a set of fastboot images (System.img and Boot.img)
You'll need either:
Unix (Mac OS X or Linux) with md5sum installed (It is included with Mac and Most Linux distros by default)
ADB (Android Debug Bridge)
Unix Method:
Get your two fastboot image files in a folder. Open a terminal and use the cd command to where your images are. For example, If your two images are in /home/username/images type:
Code:
cd /home/username/images/
Then type:
Code:
md5sum *img >nandroid.md5
It could take a while if your fastboot images are large. Once it is done, copy the system.img, boot.img and nandroid.md5 files to your sdcard/clockworkmod/backups/nameoffolder directory. (Replace nameoffolder with the name of your rom or something, but it must not contain spaces or special characters. A suitable choice would be to replace the space with a dot.)
You should now be able to restore your image from the Backup & Restore menu.
ADB Method (Ideal for Windows users):
The ADB method is similar, but you need to copy your image files to the sdcard first. So copy the system.img and boot.img files to: /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups/nameoffolder
(Replace nameoffolder with the name of your rom or something, but it must not contain spaces or special characters. A suitable choice would be to replace the space with a dot.)
Unmount your SDCard and boot into recovery.
When in recovery, connect the USB cable and ensure device is fully recognised by the computer (run adb devices and the serial number should appear and it should say "recovery" next to it) Next, go to mounts & storage and make sure the SDCard is mounted (If it says "unmount /sdcard" then it is mounted, if it says "mount /sdcard" then select it and it will mount.) then open an adb shell.
Type the following into the shell window:
Code:
cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups/nameoffolder
md5sum *img >nandroid.md5
exit
Now go into the Backup and Restore menu and your ROM should install.
Any questions? Ask below.
Hope it helps,

Just unzip it, and look for the boot.img and system.img
I think thats the way, hope it can help you.
Is there any option for Non SD card devices?
I have system, boot img file but Don't have fastboot ROM. It's a watch and i can't find any solution anywhere as it's in 9008 mode. If i can use my img file to flash it in hard brick then i think the watch would have revived. So can i convert my system img file to fastboot ROM?

The system.img and boot.img it's your fastboot rom, just flash them using fastboot command through fastboot mode.

How to convert fast boot rom to recovery rom ive full fast boot rom but i sell my pc recently so what can i do

Hey guys, I'm finally working up the courage to root. I installed adb on my Macbook but I can't find where the platform tools folder is at. I used the Android.zip file and ran the Adb-install-mac.sh script to install adb. The computer recognizes the phone via adb devices and I'm able to reboot into boot loader and get fastboot oem device-id (needed for us996 unlock). My obstacle now is getting the exploit files into the platform-tools folder so I can begin rooting it. Problem is.. I can't find where the Adb-install-mac.sh script installed adb folder. Ive searched the hard drive and nothing comes up.
EDIT
Forgot to add.. The documentation for the adb install states that adb and fastboot installs in usr/bin. Do I copy the exploit files/twrp/superSU into that directory? I don't see any folders in there.
I figured it out. Got it rooted. Not as scary as I thought it was going to be.
So i am having a issue with my oneplus 5 and hope someone could help me out
So i have ended up wiping the entry phone in recovery, getting rid of all the internal data, including sdcard & operating system. At the moment the only thing i can get access to is fastboot & TWRP. I am trying to sideload or push a rom zip to the phone, but all i keep getting is the below:
adb sideload "Zip folder name and extension".
loading "zip"
cannot read "zip"
or i get an error that just says "Closed.
Now i have update to the latest drivers and adb and when i type "adb devices" my phone is showing...
I have also flashed the oneplus 5 recovery via fastboot, however when i go on to adb sideload, the phone doesnt show in CMD.
any help here will be appricated, as i am out of ideas.
Thanks in advance.
Make the file names shorter.
Alternatively, you should be able to use a flash drive through OTG and install the stuff from it.

Unfortunately, OTG isnt a selectable option and i have also tried shorting the file a names but still no look.
Thank you for the input
Use another recovery. OTG should be there, I know somebody that flashed ROMs this way.

Two things I'd try:
1. Change your directory to the one containing the zip file so the command ONLY has the filename.zip in it
2. Download the zip file again and make sure you do a md5sum check on it just in case its corrupted.
Try this:
- Boot your phone in TWRP
- Open cmd.exe on your PC
- Type adb devices (if everything is ok, it should show some numbers followed by the write "recovery")
- Move your ROM inside a folder on your PC and rename it "Rom.zip" (ie inside the folder "download")
- Using CMD.exe, move inside that folder typing "cd C:/...."
- Type "adb push Rom.zip /sdcard"
- Wait til a confirmation message will appear on CMD.exe
- Flash the ROM using TWRP
So for future reference to anyone that might have the same issue.
I fixed this issue, by flashing a older version of TWRP. This allowed me to use ADB sideload without issue & also allow OTG_USB. It also allowed me to flash files with long names.... I have tried to go back to the latest version of TWRP for OP5 but i get the errors i was getting before.
Strange, but did the fix.
Thanks all for the help & input.
Hi guys!
I need to remove magisk, root and lock the booloader for my device. How can I do it?
Thanks
Download the Magisk uninstall zip (same site where you load the Magisk zip file or see the how to root threads) and flash it with twrp (same way as you flashed the Magisk zip or see the how to root threads).
Next do the same as you did to unlock the bootloader, change the command from unlock to lock.
That should do it.

If you cannot get the unroot/un-install for Magisk to work you can do it manually. Here is how using Linux, sorry not a windows user, so you need to find a utility to unzip the GZ file if this is the case, 7zip? The /data folder contains your backup and when you boot the device up normally you can pull the file down to your PC , then use fastboot to flash the un-=compressed boot image back to A or B (or both) sides.
1. adb shell to the rooted device and type $su to enter super user, $ cd /data to look at the data folder.
2. Locate the img.gz file with the long name such as stock_boot_c875a8ab786c64b38c6e87ffc1911f4e7b274142.img.gz and copy it to your sdcard folder so you can pull it off the handset. Use $cp /data/stock_boot_c875a8ab786c64b38c6e87ffc1911f4e7b274142.img.gz /sdcard/ . exit from the shell and back to the pc
3. de-compress the stock_boot file to boot.img. using $gunzip stock_boot_c875a8ab786c64b38c6e87ffc1911f4e7b274142.img.gz
4. start the device in fastboot mode, using adb you can type $ adb reboot bootloader or hold power and vol-
5. $ fastboot flash boot_a stock_boot_c875a8ab786c64b38c6e87ffc1911f4e7b274142.img
This will restore your un-patched boot image

Try to flash the entire update file from OnePlus.com:
https://www.oneplus.com/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=9
Download the file, place it in your root internal storage (the parent dir of the Downloads folder), and flash it locally from the settings>system update>local upgrade menu.

Why do you want to do all that? You can prevent applications from detecting root access using magisk. Just saying...

I forgot the _a after boot (boot_a). i just rerooted to fix my issue so haven't tried with the correct boot_a.
Question though, shouldn't that be boot_a and boot_b? still trying to get my head around the two slots..
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
So i've been having a hell of a time getting the latest image working on my phone... For a bit, I was soft bricked, even after running deuces and formatting user data and what not. For a while had to go back to android 8.1 (kinda nice having PIP/split screen mode!!). Finally figured it all out today... Download: The latest Magisk, the latest TWRP both .img and installer .zip. Then latest factory image, extract with winrar, go to extracted folder and extract the big .zip again with winrar, load deuces into that folder, put phone in fastboot (hold vol - and power or adb reboot bootloader).
Open an admin command prompt (admin maybe not necessary) and here we go: fastboot --set-active=a
Run Deuces, once finished go to admin command prompt and: fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-taimen.img adb push twrp-pixel2-installer-taimen-3.3.0-0.zip /sdcard adb push Magisk-v19.4.zip /sdcard
Reboot, took a while to start, open magisk, says not installed, so click install, download zip only or patch boot? I just went to the factory image folder, pushed "boot.img" to phone, and selected that.
Read a bunch of threads saying like, find/extract your own boot image (which i don't think was necessary) but if you did want to do that, the location for pixel 2 xl is: /dev/block/sde8
Hopefully that makes sense, let me know if you have comments/questions/smart remarks

I have just bought my pixel2xl, and recieved it the DAY 10 came out.
I have not had an a/b device, my last phone was the note 4 verizon, and the tabs2 i currently have.
could you perhaps make a simple list, of what this has ?
Currently i can adb devices with linux in my phone, and fastboot reboot bootloader ?
what is "run Deuces"
i presume fastboot --set-active=a means you are setting to write to the a partition ?
the first part,is where do i download the factory image ? google ? then unzip and sideload " push boot.img ?" the file to the /sdcard folder with the other files for twrp and magisk ?
thanks a lot for the announcment. i seriously just got my usb cable attached and ran fastboot, when i searched in xda and found your post. thanks alot
Ok.
I got it kinda figured out.
Gonna make a how 2 for noobs
Step 1. Download magisk and Google image for your device to your favorite machine.
Step 2. Dow load the newest adb tools from Google to your machine. Install and make sure your adb tools are in your $PATH
On my Linux machine, I unzipped the files and copied them to my local binary folder in ~/bin
3. Extract the Google image for your device, the extract the partitions zip file.
4. Go-to the folder and Sidleload the image to your phone
Code:
adb push *.img /sdcard/
5 . GOTO where you downloaded your magisk*.apk
And install with adb
adb install *.apk
6. Open your phone, and open magisk.
Patch the boot.img file you placed in /sdcard/
7. Pull the new patched file from your phone to your computer.
adb pull /sdcard/Download/*.img
That's as far as I got this morning.
Will update you all with the finished commands then copy it over to a how-to guide for noobs.
Yayy
Everytime uninstall magisk and get it working reboots bootloop, and or I try to install a module it boot loops
