Hi all.
I have a Moto G7 device. I installed TWRP and then rooted with Magisk. Some time ago I got a screen with the message "System update available" and, by mistake, I pressed the "Download and install" button; the update didn't take place but now I don't have access to the recovery.
When I boot into recovery I get a message that says "No command" and the image of a broken Android robot.
When I boot into fastboot mode there is a line in red letters: AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure). I think that this is where the problem resides.
The phone is working fine with the stock OS. I want to reinstall TWRP and flash a GSI.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Regards
PS: To temporarily boot the recovery I executed:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-river.img
In the PC's command line I get the following message: "< waiting for any device >"

Hi there,
i bought a used nexus 7 (2012/1st gen) which only boots into recovery (cwm v6.0.2.3) but doesn't show the menu. Only the cwm logo in the center and the version at the bottom left. (see picture attached)
I can't boot into fastboot (Vol Down+Power). This only leads to recovery again. But as mentioned above there's no content, no menu.
The previous owner told me he tried to flash Cyanogenmod 11 which failed and since then it is stuck in this behaviour.
I'm on ubuntu 14.04 and installed android-tools-fastboot and android-tools-adb.
With adb i can get a shell on the device in recovery mode but don't know what to do from there.
"adb reboot bootloader" doesn't work, the device is not responding
Can anyone help or am i doomed?
Update: I downloaded latest TWPR for "grouper" (2.7.1.1) and tried
" adb shell flash_image recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-grouper.img "
which lead to
" failed with error: -1 "
on step futher...
Update:
I was able to get into the bootloader with this method:

(thx acotica)
Now i am trying to flash the stock rom of the nexus 7 (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=de)
But i am not able to flash the bootloader. The version now is 4.18 and i can neither downgrade or upgrade. fastboot always gives me an error and won't proceed since it would need the bootloader to be 4.23
any help?
Flashing the stock image didn't work as expected.
Bootloader not working anymore
The device is now stuck at the google splash screen with the little open lock below.
I can't enter fastboot anymore, Power+Vol Down kicks me straight to the screen mentioned above...
The device is not recognized by adb or fastboot anymore...
Any hints how i should proceed?
Need help here!
My Nexus 10 was with stock 4.4.4, rooted with TWRP. I decided to flash the factory image files by removing the -w in flash-all.sh. However it ended up with being stuck with the rotating balls. After about 45 minutes, I decided to go to the fastboot mode (pwr+both volumes), then select recovery (I planned to do factory reset and clear cache). After trying to reboot into recovery mode (pwr + one volume button), it now shows an open bootloader with following message below the bootloader (the bootloader seems still unlocked):
Dowloading...
Do not turn off target!!
What does it mean? What is it exactly downloading? And what should I do? Should I lock the bootloader? Also it does not respond now if I push the volume buttons. It's not recognized on my Mac with the with the following command:
fastboot devices
I also notice the following line:
Reboot Mode Flag: NONE
Now I just booted into recovery, but it shows the bootloader with the exclamation mark! After a few minutes, it automatically switched to the never-ending rotating balls. What can I do?
When you get the Downloading...message you're in the Recovery screen. Don't worry about the message. Press vol up and power to get into the recovery menu - there you can wipe cache and system. As you're in recovery, Fastboot devices will not recognise your tablet, only adb commands.
If I was you and this didn't work, I'd just reboot into fastboot and flash the image files manually. You'll lose root, data and twrp but these can easily be gotten back through fastboot.

Weird: I was just using it normally, it switched off and now it stays stuck on the Google logo; when entering recovery mode, I get TWRP"s splash screen and it stays there, so I cannot even recover.
Suggestions please??
Note 1: I'm pretty bad with this kind of stuff, need step-by-step instructions.
Note 2: rom is AOSP 7.1.2 but I guess is irrelevant, as even TWRP does not load.
Thanks in advance!!
Can you fastboot boot the TWRP recovery?
Hmmm dont know exactly what that means sorry; I mean I havent tried connecting it to the laptop and using thr ADB toolkit, but I can reset via Power+VolDown to the bootloader menu (? the android layind down and giving the option to StartSystem/ SwitchOff/ Restart/ RecoveryMode), and choosing RecoveyMode it tries to launch TWRP (it even shows the logo) but stays there on the splashscreen, doesn't quite manage to give me the TWRP menus
Someone?

let's see... I set in recovery mode, connect to the PC (does not recognise it), and with "fastboot boot twrp.img" it just sends/writes the file, the tab shows the Google logo with open lock, and then tries to launch Twrp, but as before, it just get stuck in the splashscreen "TeamWin Recovery Project 3.3.1.0" , so just the same.
Command "fastboot flash boot twrp.img" the same
Command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" the same
Command "adb devices" returns the list empty
Command "adb reboot recovery" returns "error: no devices / emulators found"
Command "fastboot oem unlock" returns "(bootloader) bootloader is already unlocked"
I tried running a tool called FirstAid (https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=16684) but does nothing for me
I'm lost, please help
Video and photos of the issue (device, not adb)

Well, looking at your video it seems that there is no bootable ROM installed and also the recovery (for what ever reason) has some issues to start.
The fact, that you are able to boot into bootloader shows that at least it's not completely bricked ... but there's still the chance that the flash memory has some issues.
I would connect the device via usb with a PC and try to do a
fastboot boot <twrp-3.3.1-grouper.img>
to whether in that case the recovery is booting.
If this is successful, the next step would be re-flashing the recovery into the recovery partition and booing into recovery mode from the bootloader.
If this is successful, too, wiping and flashing a new ROM would be the last step.
Update : NVM I fixed it
I am sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place. But I need serious help.
-I was on Lineage 18.
-went to Lineage recovery
-used All in One tool to flash stock
-It was idle on System image 6 and I closed the window because nothing was happening on my phone's screen, it still showed Fastboot of Lineage. Stupid move I know
-I restarted and it showed the "Bootloader is unlocked screen" and is bootlooping to this screen ever since.
-I can only access stock recovery and stock Fastboot mode
- Tried restoring through ADB but it the device doesn't show up.
-On device manager under ports it shows Communications Port COM1 and under Other devices it shows "Android" with a yellow error symbol
Basically, I am stuck here and don't know how to proceed further.
I have a pixel 4 which is stuck in bootloader due to "no valid slot to boot".
So far I tried to flash / wipe the device with different images on https://flash.android.com/. This flashing procress can be completed but the device on the following boot gets stuck at the G logo screen with the loading bar. After forced powering off it returns to the bootloader with the same "no valid slot message".
Anyone got some hints for me?

Hmm. Since your bootloader is unlocked, recovering the device should be fairly trivial. Try the Android Flash Tool again, this time select the Force flash all partitions option as well as Wipe device.
Alternatively, see if you can boot into recovery and sideload the OTA package.
I tried both suggested options now (with the latest OTA). Unfortunately the phone still doesn't get past the the G logo screen. After 10 minutes it returns to Fastboot Mode with no valid slot to boot .
Try flashing to the other slot as well and then check out the results. From fastboot, execute the
Code:
fastboot getvar all
command and note down the value next to
Code:
(bootloader) current-slot
. Then proceed ahead with the flashing via Android Flash Tool. Once done, reboot to Fastboot and then execute the
Code:
fastboot set_active other
command to change the slot and then reflash via Android Flash Tool. See if it does any good.
It was on slot b. Flashed that, switched to slot a and reflashed. Unfortunately I'm still stuck at the G logo.
Is it bricked then ?
