Update your SDK, try a different cable, for starters.

It sees it when the device booted up.
How would the cable make a difference?

Outa curiosity, when the phone is on in normal mode, I assume you have USB debugging on correct? If you go to your sdk platform tools, and open a command prompt, and type abd devices, do you get your phone ID to display? As far as the cable, there have been many many reports that trying a different one fixed the problem.

What are you trying to do? ADB won't work when booted at the bootloader, Fastboot will. If you type:
Code:
fastboot devices
Does your computer report back what it sees now?

That seem to work, 711KPNY0535039 fastboot
How do I flash magisk from there or twrp?
TWR gives me the error :
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
Invalid sparse file format at header magic

I don't know.
Have you tried the instructions for it from this thread?

ADB only works while the device is booted & in recovery.
FASTBOOT is what you'll need while in the bootloader.
If you want to have root with Magisk go to their thread, https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/development/2017-11-6-root-pixel-2-xl-t3701176, and follow the detailed instructions the OP has provided. If you don't feel comfortable or confident you can follow them... root probably isn't for you.

Does you phone boot into your OS? If not since downloadmode doesn't work you need to push these files via fastboot.

It should work if you have the fastboot.exe file. Your folder should look like this image with the fastboot.exe and the files you want it to push:

Adb not working under fastboot mode

Trying to flash twrp in fastboot mode, but not having much success. Adb devices doesn't list my device and when i try fastboot flash recovery it says that it's written something but when i try to go to recovery mode after reboot it just takes me to the stock recovery which resets the phone.
Have latest lg drivers along with 15 second adb installer installed. Running win 10 x64.
Any idea how i can successfully install twrp?
Thanks

Yea just read the main XDA twrp thread carefully! You did it wrong and its all there.
And fastboot is not adb! In fastboot mode you can't use adb

No there is only one official twrp thread (see my signature) and there is only one guide to flash.
Try fastboot boot but with version 3.0.2.0 instead

That's the guide i was following. Still get same error when issuing command. Think it's to do with the drivers in win 10 under fastboot mode.
Had an explanation mark against android. I selected update driver and then adb bootloader interface from the list.

if you wanna be sure that this is not a driver issue just try FWUL
but back to your problem. This error can happen when u have a older/newer bootloader flashed which works in another way as it should.
What is your current ROM version?

most ppl are on MM or N these days which has a newer bootloader.
This should solve your problem.
otherwise just try all TWRP versions you find - from high to lowest version. hope u will find a working one for LL.

Good so it is actually a bootloader thing. Please read the official twrp thread (see my signature) and find the installation guide. The behavior above is expected and there is a way to solve. Just read carefully.

Ok, so followed the guide from https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/recovery-twrp-3-touch-recovery-t3442424 (which was in your signature)
Installation
General Howto Guide
The general guide seems to do not work properly when it comes to flashing so here is an additional howto which seems to work 100%:
I said you need an unlocked device. So ensure you have it unlocked and OEM unlocking option is enabled (see screenshot)
Connect an USB cable and get ADB running (READ the FAQ!! or the general guide above)
Boot into Android and then type on your PC to reboot into fastboot mode:
adb reboot bootloader
Type on your PC:
fastboot boot twrp.img
(replace twrp.img with the real file name you downloaded)
Then copy the twrp.img to your device while still in twrp (e.g. with a file explorer or by typing adb push twrp.img /sdcard)
Flash the twrp.img with twrp GUI to the recovery partition (choose the button at the bottom named image to show the copied image)
done.
You can now reboot into recovery again to check it has worked.
However, despite booting into twrp ok and flashing the recovery ok (according to twrp), when i restart the phone and go to recovery it's the stock recovery, not twrp.

ok. do the same again but when you have flashed twrp from within TWRP grab the recovery log (like described in FAQ #4-A)
hope we get some meaningful information.. because this really should work.

Reboot to recovery worked within the booted twrp, just not when I turn the device off and try to enter recovery from the hardware keys. Using hardware keys and selecting Yes twice just took me to stock recovery which does a factory reset and wipes device.
Didn't try adb reboot recovery.

Volume down and power button together. Release power button for a second when LG logo appears and then press and hold it again until reset screen appears. Usually from there i select yes and yes again and twrp would appear (when it was working)

Oneplus 3 Boot Loop

So I tried to flash another rom by flashing TWRP and unlocking the bootloader, which worked and I then had installed Freedom Os. Then I locked the Bootloader to get the Message away, but know when you charge it or turn it on it is in an boot loop which repeats the Oneplus Logo what you normally see, but very short and after that it bobrates turns the screen off and it atart again. Or I can go into fastboot mode, but when I try to go into the recovery, it goes into the Boot Loop again. Is there a way to get the Original OS back? Ive already dopwnloaded it but I cant get in on there. Can you tell me how to fix it on my own?
[GUIDE] Mega Unbrick Guide for A Hard Bricked OnePlus 3 > METHOD 1
If you can access fastboot mode, connect the phone to a PC, then go to ADB and erase recovery using the command " fastboot erase recovery" and install TWRP 3.0.4-1 using the command " <fastboot flash recovery <recovery.zip/img> again.
Once you do that, boot into TWRP, go to wipe and wipe everything. Once you do that, transfer the stock OOS into the internal memory using copy-paste , then go to install , select the transferred file to install the OS or else go to advance setting in TWRP and select adb sideload and use the command "adb sideload <filename.zip>".
This should install the OS on the phone.
If you want to go complete stock, then you also need to install the stock recovery. Search the forum to get the relevent files or else you can download it from the OnePlus website and later on update to latest OS via OTA.
NEVER EVER LOCK THE BOOTLOADER , IF YOU'RE USING ANY ROM OTHER THAN STOCK OS AND STOCK RECOVERY

So i've downloaded the software, installed the driver and typed in cmd adb devices "adb devices List of devices attached" is returned, so it seems like there is going something wrong. Is it because the Driver is installed wrong or because "target reported max download size of 440401920 bytes

This is returned when trying to flash. Do I have to be in fastboot mode or something else to be able to follow your instructions? In Fast Boot is written that the Device State is locked and Secure Boot is enabled. I messaged Oneplus and hope they have a solution which can just unlock the Bootloader when being in fastboot mode, so everything is fine again. I hope you can help me, but I still wanna say thank your for now

Thank you, but it dont works because i forgot to re-enable the oem modification and usb debugging in freedom os, maybe there is an option to do this without having this enabled but I didnt found it. So I wait for a helpful answer from somebody here or from Oneplus, I consider sending my smartphone to oneplus to let them repair it if I cant do it. Just saying that modding an S3, Asus transformer pad and nvidia shield is way easier.

Shouldn't it still be possible to reflash the properly signed official updates? TBH I never had such a problem and thus never had to cope with it. Same with recovery: http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/recovery_op3.img Try flashing this one with fastboot. It's the official one. By flashing this one you might fix your stuff over adb sideloading the official full update zips.
Try the unbrick guide provided in the 2nd post to your query. It should definitely help. Better contact OnePlus tech2 support and they'll flash your phone for you. They're really helpful.

The MSM Software disconnects the smartphone while the process works
U cannot flash in adb while the bootloader is locked, u can not unlock the bootloader unless u can access ur OS, I am not sure y people was trying to get u to flash via fastboot the answer was provided to u in the 2nd post
^^^ This!
It's pretty much obvious fastboot flash will not work with a locked bootloader.
It's pretty obvious unlocking the bootloader will not work, while one can not access the OS.
Unbrick tool is the only option to bring it back to life, or sending it for RMA. If unbrick tool fails, try using different drivers and make sure it is connected with the stock cable (I've only tried with a Nilkin cable besides the stock one, which always failed at different stages during the process).
Not even sure drivers must be installed manually, I've never done that myself on Windows 10, as they were automatically installed (3 different's PC's, both on x86 and x64).
Which version of stock firmware did you last have? If it was 4.0.1 or earlier, then you can use
Code:
fastboot oem 4F500301
to issue a flash command even without unlocking the bootloader. If you are on that, then use that command and flash stock recovery and then flash stock zip.

[SOLVED] Could not install TWRP

Hi,
I want to enable dualsim on my singlesim device and for that the TWRP has to be installed. After checking many threads, which less or more describe the same steps, I managed to unlock the bootloader and downloaded an "unofficial" twrp image for the Moto Z Play. But on the last step while trying to flash it I got the error "Image not signed or corrupt" and the image is not installed. Here is the output by flashing:
Code:
D:\Programs\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-addison.img

Is there a way to avoid this error ?
Use: "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" no quotes. I change the filename to just "twrp.img" less chance of typing something wrong.
and no the .exe you did.

I think it is flashed. After flashing the twrp via fastboot and u see that error then just ignore it, instead directly boot your phone in recovery mode using the volume buttons and look for the word "recovery" then press on power button then it booted there.

I think it is flashed. After flashing the twrp via fastboot and u see that error then just ignore it, instead directly boot your phone in recovery mode using the volume buttons and look for the word "recovery" then press on power button then it booted there.

unfortunatly not, after entering the recovery mode I see the message "no command" and I have to hold the power button and press volume up to enter into the Android Recovery menu.

I've tried with the following images:
twrp-3.1.1-0-addison.img
twrp-3.1.0-0-addison.img
twrp-3.0.2-0-addison.img
which were downloaded from the url: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=126925
The result is the same by all of them.
Just to be sure, the image should be copied within the "ADB/Fastboot" folder on my PC and not on the device storage/SD card, isn't it ?

Yes, I did unlock it with the unlock key received from motorola:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock UNLOCK_KEY
After that a message is displayed at each start:
your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted
ID: bad key
your device will boot in 5 seconds

After flashing twrp do not boot the phone otherwise the stock recovery will over write twrp,
After twrp is flashed while still in fastboot mode, use the volume buttons and select recovery on the menu.

This is not an error. If your bootloader is unlocked this message will display at every boot.

As Fandroid mentioned, it's not an error. My device also diplays it at startup.
I've added to this post a zip file that contains adb, fastboot and twrp version used to configure my device.

I wanted twrp just to create a backup and configure my device to support dualsim. Therefore and as mentioned in a previous post, TWRP is installed only momentarly and after a reboot it would be overwritten.
My OS is the Moto Android 7.0.
What is the issue that you have now ?

As I told earlier I am not able to install twrp due to which I am not able to install custom rom. I tried many times to install twrp, everytime it showed "image is not found" as you guys said I tried going recovery but again it shows you already unlocked boot loader, your device can't be trusted then says " your device will reboot in 5 seconds" this is what my issue is.

It makes no sense then to flash it. Why don't you just use
fastboot boot twrp.img
when you want to start it? Then no flash will be involved, and twrp will be just booted for this single usage. You can repeat this whenever you need it.

Hi,
How did you end up in this situation?
Is your bootloader unlocked?
Sébastien.
Thanks @Sébastien! Yes the bootloader is unlocked.
I was flashing using this site flash-dot-android-dotcom, because of the fact the the phone's software support will end this year.
Then I had a power outage around 90% in because of a storm in our country.
Now I am unable to flash the phone. The Smartboot commands work, but the adb commands doesn't.
I download multiple adb drivers, tried them all, still doesn't work.

Hi,
Download latest factory image for taimen if you want Android 11: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/taimen-rp1a.201005.004-factory-f797c86c.zip
If you prefer latest taimen for Android 10: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/taimen-qq3a.200805.001-factory-305df20c.zip
Extract the one you want to install and locate Flash-all.bat
If you want to keep your device data's, you'll want to edit the file and remove -w. (Search Google or XDA for further infos).
Detailed flashing guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-xl-t3702418
Boot your phone in bootloader: power + volume down.
Plug your USB cord and double click Flash-all.bat. Let it do it's job. Reboot afterward.
You'll keep getting a warning, which is normal, since your bootloader is unlocked. If you want to get rid of it, install the firmware and relock the bootloader. Disable OEM unlocking in developer options. Be careful, it will "again" wipe your datas...
Good luck...
Sébastien.

Hello all, I was trying to update to Android 11, from my rooted Pixel 2xl from Android 10. Long story short, I got in a boot loop, so I used Dueces' fix, and now I have the corrupted message when turning it on. I have tried to return to stock, but I get this error message on the last reboot: target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
archive does not contain 'recovery.img'
failed to allocate -1848340176 bytes
error: update package missing system.img
Anyone know how to fix?
Thank you!

Hi,
This is not a "shime in if you have a similar issue" thread. You may open your own thread. But well, do you have the proper factory image for taimen? Is your USB cable ok? Is your ADB / Fastboot up to date? In the message above yours i posted a link with the latest version. Try this...
Sébastien.
I appreciate your help, even though I have posed my question in the wrong place. To answer, yes, I have everything updated, and downloaded, still I keep getting the same error message.

Yes I download the latest DB version. Tried using "Android ADB Interface" and "Android ADB Composite Interface" but nothing appears whenever I do a CMD ADB Devices command
I also tried the sideload option you sent below.
This was the result from the Device Message:

Hi,
If you want to tag an user, tag his/her username. Me > 5.1.

Ok! Well, you can't issue ADB commands while you're in the bootloader. Only fastboot commands work!

Hello,
Did you try to format data and reinstall? Since install doesn't go past vendor, it never gets a chance to format data. Maybe it was corrupted during your online adventure...
Did you try to switch slot and try to install factory image from here?
Try to download the zip again and retry once you switched slot:
fastboot --set-active=a or fastboot --set-active=b
Whichever is not active at the moment. Then reboot to bootloader and proceed.
Did you try to reinstall bootloader.img, boot.img, system.img to both slot?
fastboot --slot all flash
Format data and reinstall?
Well, since I don't have the device, it's a bit hard to troubleshoot further...
Good luck...
Sébastien.

Super thanks for al your patience @5.1 Sébastien !
I think the issue must be that none of all the ADB drivers work.
I tried those under "ClockworkMod" and "Google, Inc." and all are updated, I also went to get the USB drivers from the Android SDKs.
Somehow I am unable to make ADB work. Whenever I do CMD "ADB Device" to list things... Nothing shows on the list..... I can only show the Decvice if I do "fastboot devices"
I ran the "flash-all.bat"... and I also used the "deuce-flash-all-v5.0.bat", and OTA
It looks like, the unresolved ADB Plugin is the mailn block to get thing going.

Hi,
I haven't used clockwork stuff since 10 years, so I bet it's pretty much outdated.... Google Inc? Which ones?
Check this guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/adb-fastboot-any-directory-windows-linux/
Download this: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
And install as per the above guide.
Than once you're done, open a simple cmd window, plug your phone in bootloader and issue:
fastboot devices
No need to be in the same folder as ADB.exe or fastboot, you should see your device.
Then re-run the flash-all.bat from your factory image.
Good luck...
Sébastien.

Super thanks for the follow-up solution Sébastien @5.1 !
I tried the above and this is the result"
Sending 'vendor_b' (333468 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed in SendBuffer() (Unknown error))
fastboot: error: Command failed
And the ADB command: ADB devices still gives me this result below
C:\Users\delro>adb devices
List of devices attached
It's still blank.
I used the 3 drivers from Google Inc
1. Android ADB Interfacer
2. AndroidComposite ADB Interface
3. Android Bootloader Interface.
All of these drivers still doesn't show anything when I do "ADB Devices" and displays as blank.
The ADB.exe is accessible, it's just not able to see the device, hence might this be a diver incompatibility issue. But I already tried the latest drivers above and none of them work.

Thanks so much for your efforts in assisting me (and for all the @ and quotes usage LoL)!
As I have done all the items in the list, the only thing I am looking to have work is Pushing a Flash file using "ADB Push" from PC to phone. But none of my ADB drivers even though they are the latest ones don't work. Sideload didn't work also as this might be the same issue too.
Really am super grateful for your kindness helping me all this time, you are awesome bro!
I will go search to more channel how to rectify this thing.
Take care and hope I can repay you in the future!

Update: I finally was able to make the phone work!!!
In a last-ditch effort, I wiped the device, ran the Deuce Script, Reboot, Ran the flash-all.bat, Reboot, went to Recovery Mode > Enable ADB Update > Tried Sideload again of the OTA file, and there you go, I now again have a working device!!!
Thank you Sebastien @5.1 again for all your super kind support and knowledge! Truly am really grateful for your helpfulness!
