I have my Pixel 2 XL currently running on the December update (8.1) and Magisk installed, stock recovery. Downloaded the January OTA file (multiple times, actually) and when I run the command to Sideload the OTA zip in Stock Recovery, I get the following error messages:
Failed to verify package compatibility (result 1): Runtime info and framework compatibility matrix are incompatible: AVB version 0.0 does not match framework matrix 1.0 Installation aborted.

Never seen that before and Google/XDA search came up empty or bad results. I also tried to update my adb/tools using Android Studio, still no dice.
The error provided seems to point to Magisk's modification to the dtbo to disable AVB 2.0/dm-verity.
Might have to reflash stock dtbo.img. Or just flash full factory image with the -w flaf removed from the flash-all.bat.

Yep... that's where I'm at, looking to install the full image with -w omitted. I've even tried to uninstall Magisk (full removal) without luck.

Might be able to try restoring images option in Magisk Manager too before installing full image.
I just install the full images each update though, less problems that way.
OK, so I fixed it by going back to stock (December) Boot and DTBO images, then Sideloaded the OTA which worked fine. Worst case, I'll flash the full System without wipe if I have issues. So it looks as if @ilal2ielli was right! Also, credit to THIS post by @sn0warmy for the steps.
Yep, I had the same issue last night and couldn't find anything on Google. Drove me crazy for a good 30 minutes! Then I recalled that you have to be 100% stock to take updates so I flashed stock boot.img and it took the update just fine afterwards. I did not need to flash dtbo.img.
I'm all flashed, but having issues with the Magisk Patched Boot image. Flashed stock back in since it would only boot to recovery or bootloader. I may revert to booting to TWRP and flashing the Magisk that way.
I uninstalled Magisk using the Magisk app and reflashed the stock boot image but I am still getting the January
update installation error. Do I need to use the Magisk-uninstaller zip file?

Did you flash the December stock boot.img? You may also want to try flashing the December dtbo.img. I did both and my issues are resolved.

Yes, I flashed the boot.img from taimen-opm1.171019.011 and I just did the same with the dtbo.img. Unfortunately the update still won't take. Thanks for the reply though.

Looks like you didn't unlock your critical partition, which is preventing the factory image from flashing the bootloader. Google blocks boot.img flashes if the bootloader isn't the most updated or the one that matches the boot.img.
You'll need to fastboot unlock_critical, which will wipe your phone and data currently stored on it to progress any further.

He's right, you haven't properly unlocked critical. That means you get to go to the back of the class and go through the wipe process again. You'll be a regular pro by the time this is over. :good:

Hi. I went through and relocked and then unlocked both the standard "unlock" and the "critical unlock". Then I tried to flash the Feburary image but was met with a "device is corrupt message" that looked like the bootloader warning message except the yellow triangle was red. The sideloading the OTA also gives an error:
E: Failed to verify package compatibility (result 1): Runtime info and framework compatibility matrix are incompatible: AVB version 0.0 does no match framework matrix 1.0
Installation aborted.
Do you have any idea how I could fix this?
Thanks in advance

I've been using the most recent adb (version 1.0.36). Only thing I can think of is that I somehow I added an older version to my PATH so that I could use it from any folder and now Windows keeps using the older version. Is that the latest version?

You arent' running the lastest version of the binaries due to your current path statement. ADB version now is 10.3.9. You should delete all versions off your PC. Edit your path statement with a single ADB folder (C:\ADB\) . Now add this folder to PATH. Go HERE and download the latest version binaries -27.0.1 (December 2017). Unzip the entire zip file into the C:\ADB folder. Reboot. As a test, open a command window and type path and C:\ADB should be there. Make sure your connection to phone in BOOTLOADER MODE is good by typing "fastboot devices" and you should immediately get your serial number back. Now unzip the entire contents of the full Google image (Not OTA) into your ADB folder. Do not further unzip the nested update.zip. Leave that alone. At this point either type flash-all.bat or double click on the batch file to initiate the script.

I was able to force it to go to the adb I downloaded and got it installed. I actually just changed the flash-all.bat script to use the correct adb version by point it to the freshly downloaded platform-tools. I'm not sure where this old ADB is located. It's not in my PATH when I look at environment variables. I don't have any other ADB or platform-tools downloaded, that I know off.
Anyway I got it to work and I'll just make sure to point it to the correct platform-tools whenever I flash something in the future. Can't believe I've been on the developer preview 2 since like November.

Hi, i installed the latest LG G5 Update (lineage-14.1-20170822-nightly-h850-signed), the first regular reboot was fine.
The second reboot has "bricked" my phone.
Please check the attached Picture from the phone.
Anyon a idea how to get back the phone to "life"??? :crying:
Thank you in advance for any assistance
MoPhat
This advise comes "as is" and with no warranty and I will not be responsible for any damages of any kind.
That's a soft brick (I wouldn't even call it a brick) and should be easy to resolve.
Did you erase data and system before flashing the ZIP file? You should always do this before flashing a new OS or did you just flash over your original LG5's OS without erasing those partitions?
Try re-downloading lineage-14.1-20170822-nightly-h850-signed and run a crc32 check on both zip files (the one you downloaded originally and the one you downloaded the second time) to see if the crc32 values match. If they don't, that would explain why you ended up in this situation (assuming you flashed the file the correct way). If you are on Windows, you can download a utility called "hashmyfiles" by NirSoft to get the crc32 along with other checksum values. If you are on linux, you can use the "crc32 lineage-14.1-20170822-nightly-h850-signed.zip" command to see the crc32 value and if values do not match, try downloading it again and do the check one more time until the values match. You can also click on the "sha256" and "sha1" links below the link you downloaded the file from and then using "hashmyfiles" you can compare the values whether they match.
Anyway, the way I personally would go with this one is try to enter Recovery mode, erase system, data (and probably boot but not necessary as the OS zip file will over write it anyway) and try again. If your recovery asks you to install root / SuperUser, you should select "No" and use LOS's official SuperUser add-ons if that's what you are after.
Thank you marco-v
I can't check the crc from the file because i have updated the latest Version with the build in update function...
I have tryed to boot in the recovery menu by pressing the power und volume down button, realising when i see the lg logo an pressing again both to (normaly) enter the recovery mode. it appears the same message
http://androidflagship.com/20275-boot-lg-g5-recovery-mode
the only menu that Comes are the "factory data reset" menu, but this makes no difference...
any further ideas?

So it looks like your Recovery mode is messed up too? Not sure how that might have happened unless you instructed LOS to "Update Recovery" .
Have you tried to see if you are able to enter fastboot mode and reflash your custom recovery image again and try to enter Recovery mode again? The one I use on my device (Oppo Find 7) is a TWRP image and I find it very reliable.
You can see if you can boot to Recovery by running the following command from fastboot mode (assuming you have a TWRP image)
fastboot boot twrp-x.x.x-x-h850.img
Replace x.x.x.x with the version of the file.
Tryed, result is:

Try following these instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/recovery-team-win-recovery-project-lg-g5-t3363047 and see if you can get TWRP running and if you do, you can try flashing LOS again but format data + system (you will lose all data) and if you are not careful, you might lose data on internal storage + external storage so read carefully what's displayed on the screen before going ahead.
Also: http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryTypeCode=ANRS and this will show you how to unlock your bootloader.
---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------
I just read your post, you can try:
fastboot oem unlock
and see if it works. May be it will because it was unlocked already once but can't tell for sure.
Sorry, nothing has worked.
I will try set "upgrade error" back in the lg update tool to flash the original firmware, but i need a SERIAL or the IMEI number, how can i find this out?
Normally, IMEI numbers are located right under the battery on phones that come with removable back covers and batteries. Yours however slides out, it might be somewhere there or perhaps you can check the box / packaging. So the following command didn't work?
fastboot oem unlock
What's the error you got? The official bootloader instructions on LG's website should have worked as it supports your model. To me the only issue you seem to be having is a restricted booloader and once you unlock it, everything should be fine. This is why you can't boot into TWRP using the boot command.
Not worked, the result is:
Code:
C:\Temp\root_H850>fastboot oem unlock

I see, thx, if the LG official unlock instructions did not or no longer work followed by the instructions here https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/recovery-team-win-recovery-project-lg-g5-t3363047, I am out of ideas. Perhaps someone else can help and provide further hints.

You may have to use this to get back on track my friend.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...ol-deuces-bootloop-recovery-flashing-t3704761
I'm not entirely sure what the issue is (it could be a couple of things), but here are some issues that I see to help you troubleshoot:
1. Adb commands don't work in bootloader mode, only fastboot commands, which is why your device is visible to fastboot and not adb.
2. The file that you tried to adb sideload was a factory image, not an OTA. Adb sideload can only be used with OTA images. And even if you were using an OTA image, OTA images cannot be used to downgrade to a previous firmware version.
3. The latest version of adb is 1.0.39. You are using an older version. That fact itself doesn't really matter since adb will not help you in this situation, but fastboot will and if your adb is obsolete, I'd be willing to bet that your fastboot is too. Pixel 2 support was added in the October 2017 release of adb and fastboot. If yours is older than that, you're gonna have a bad time.
4. "Unable to open 'image-taimen-opd1.170816.025.zip': No such file or directory." Fastboot can't find your firmware files. Try placing the entire contents of the factory image, including the .zip file listed here, into the same directory as fastboot.exe (based on your post, it seems like the folder you want is C:\adb). Then rerun flash-all.bat. The script is assuming that fastboot.exe and all of the firmware files are in the same folder and if they're not, that could be a problem.
5. You do not have driver issues. The fact that fastboot devices worked means that your drivers/connection are/is working fine.
PS: Get the latest adb and fastboot here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
UPDATE: I did a Google search for adb/fastboot version eac51f2bb6a8-android. I found a reference to it in a forum post dated mid-2016. There's your problem. Or one of them, anyway. If you do adb --version or fastboot --version on the latest releases, they will tell you that they are version 0.0.1-4500957.

4. "Unable to open 'image-taimen-opd1.170816.025.zip': No such file or directory." Fastboot can't find your firmware files. Try placing the entire contents of the factory image, including the .zip file listed here, into the same directory as fastboot.exe (based on your post, it seems like the folder you want is C:\adb). Then rerun flash-all.bat. The script is assuming that fastboot.exe and all of the firmware files are in the same folder and if they're not, that could be a problem.

Open up your SDK and look for a file named "platform-tools" that is where all your files should be placed.

Hmm. Fastboot is definitely having issues communicating with your phone. "Failed to identify current slot" is a bad sign. If I were you, I would try flashing the most recent factory image (not the November 8.0 image you're trying to flash) first just to see if you can get everything up to date again and clear out any mismatched files that may have been flashed during your attempts. Once you manage that, then try to downgrade. If you can, try a different computer too, preferably one with a type C input that you can use the stock USB cable with.

The fact that he's not getting "not found" errors means that all the expected files are found by fastboot.

Thanks man. I learned something new today :good:
Wonder if his transfer cable. I've seen that cause headaches as well ?
It was definitely an issue between my laptop and my phone. I was able to easily use flash-all.bat on a different computer.

I was on edge just reading this! I would also look into Deuce's script. It can save the 'device can't boot' issue once and for good.
Kudos on not having a faulty device~!
As the title says, I had rooted my device, but after about 2 months, decided I wanted to unroot, and go back to normal. I will let you know the steps I took, and the problem I am currently facing to see if anyone can provide some help.
1. I performed a factory reset
2. I flashed my stock boot.img that I backed up prior to rooting with Magisk
3. I booted the device, and factory reset again
4. I locked my bootloader, and then tried to apply my OTA Update (installation failed).
5. After referencing a few google support articles, they suggested to flash the latest Factory Image with the flash-all script.
6. I unlocked my bootloader
7. booted to fastboot, and ran flash-all.bat
8. The Factory image failed on Sending 'product'
9. I modified the flash-all.bat file, and removed the -w from the fastboot update section, and ran it again.
10. Factory image failed on Sending 'product' again
11. I manually sent the command through fastboot. "fastboot update image-crosshatch-qp1a.191005.007.zip (please note, I this is the October factory image, I also tried all of the above with the November factory image with the same failuer).

Looks like your fastboot directory is not mapped properly in environment variables. The easy way past that error is with your phone still connected and in fastbootd use the arrow keys to go to recovery and then do sideload from ADB and slieload the same version as you were trying to flash. that will do the same thing as flash-all (without -w) except it will change your slots.

I actually tried that while waiting on a reply to this post, when I did the sideload on the update file, it failed due to signature.
I then downloaded the Full OTA, and was able to sideload it sucessfully, but I would much rather prefer to flash the latest Factory Image, and have comfort knowing that my issue was an issue with the platform tools version.

Alright, using Platform Tools 29.0.5, I am still receiving the same error when attempting to run flash-all.bat with and without the -w. Even when manually executing fastboot update image-crosshatch-qp1a.191105.003.zip
I know that I can boot to recovery, and ADB sideload the latest Full OTA, that was previously successful. However, I want to make sure that I won't encounter any future problems doing OTA updates through the device.
Do you have any additional suggestions?

- Change USB port or change USB Cable.
- Make sure the USB port you are using is not a charging USB port.
Also, if you are going to lock the bootloader make sure you are 100 percent stock if you do not want to brick your phone. Flash factory image with -w.

Glad you at least got out of the error, and as you noticed I did mean the full OTA. Just be sure to add the directory containing Fastboot to your PATH environment variable (the flash-all script must be able to find it). Easy way to check if your path is mapped OK, shift+right click to open a command prompt somewhere other than where you have fastboot (like your desktop) and run a fatboot devices command from there to see if it executes.

I've tried both USB 3.0 ports on my laptop, both USB 3.0 ports on my Docking station, as well as the Type-C port on both the laptop and docking station, all give the same error.
I have tried flashing the factory image with and without -w, which is where this problem comes, It fails everytime trying to flash it. I have currently sideloaded the latest Full OTA, and I am awaiting additional steps that I haven't thought of before I re-lock.

I modified the Flash-All script to change the path to the platform-tools installation directory, which did not resolve the issue.
Until further information I haven't tried comes up, I have sideloaded the Full OTA, and will sit with my bootloader unlocked for the time being.

Just one thing before you waste any more time doing other stuff, loading the OTA only installs to the opposite slot. Do it once more to get back to your original slot and have the OTA in both. Is your hesitance to check the path due to running a MAC? If so, just dump the extracted image (including the flash-all .bat or .sh) directly into your fastboot directory including fastboot itself.

Naa, I'm on a PC. I have tried 2 flash-all files, the original with the files copied to SYSTEM32, and a modified one, that points directly to my platform-tools directory.

There is no need the modify the flash-all.bat file.
- Did you extract the factory image in the Platform-tools folder or whatever folder that has fastboot in it?
- Did you open a 'command prompt' in the Platform-tools folder?
- Did you check the sha256 of the factory image you downloaded?

1. Yes, I extracted it to the platform-toosl directory
2. Yes I executed the flash-all from command prompt, in the platform-tools directory.
3. Yes, the Hash matches the Checksum listed on the Factory Image page for Google
Just for record, during the flash-all process, it successfully flashes the Bootloader, and the radio. It only fails on the update flash, at the Product stage.

I wonder if Google did something with the flash-all script in November or if it is having problems with fastbootd, or if it based on the October install leading up to it because there seem to be more than a normal amount of flash-all issues. I'm on custom, so I am using a sideload method. Strange idea, but since ultimately you are looking to clean wipe. Do a factory reset and then a flash-all to both slots.

I did do a factory reset on my device, after I sideloaded the October OTA. But when I tried to download the update manually through my device, It failed to install, so I had to unlock my bootloader again, and sideload the november OTA. I am trying to get away from having to sideload any OTA updates, and just update directly through my phone, so I don't have to keep it tethered to a PC to update. And I want to keep my bootloader locked, to avoid issues with Google Pay.

if you are 100 percent stock you should have no problem taking the OTA without unlocking the bootloader.

Hi!!
I have a model XT2013-1. I was having the same problem as you, so I updated TROIKA-RETBR on 02/22/2020.
After updating, I did the procedure of this link "https://forum.xda-developers.com/one-action/how-to/twrp-magisk-root-motorola-one-action-t3975883", skipping the step "8.2- Now tap on Wipe> Format Data> Type Yes and go back to the home screen again. " This step gave me the looping error.
Now root works perfect !!

It's A/B device so it doesn't have dedicated recovery partition. It's inside boot.img.
Use fastboot boot twrp.img
Once booted to twrp, you can use the twrp installer zip to flash twrp recovery ramdisk to your boot.img for permanent installation.

Did you follow all instructions from twrp thread. like flashing modified vbmeta and wipe data before booting twrp?
Also take a look at the original thread for one vision as it has a newer zip that contains only one modified vbmeta.img instead of two different ones in the older zip that is posted in one action's twrp thread.
I rooted using fastboot, I could never get into TWRP to flash anything.
In fastboot, I flashed the modified vbmeta.img, then flashed the magisk patched boot img file (I created this with magisk), then flashed the patched vbmeta.img file, then did a fastboot wipe.
Rebooted, set up the phone, installed magisk manager and opened, it needed to update some files. Rebooted, and the device was rooted.

Thank you very much for your input. You must be an expert! WOW! Sorry I am not that expert........ Would you mind explaining (1) how to modify vbmeta.img and (2) how to patch boot.img? It is very impressive to read what you have done, but sorry I am still a beginner. Also, when I flash, "fastboot flash (File Name)" ok?
Thank yuo very much for your help.

You don't need to modify vbmeta.img. I am using the older version of the root Moto Vision package, which has a vbmeta.img file, and a patched vbmeta.img file.
For the modified boot img, I downloaded the full image from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/troika/official/
Extract, and then take the boot.img file, you will want that saved to a phone that has Magisk installed.
Follow these instructions to patch
https://www.ytechb.com/how-to-patch-a-file-in-magisk-manager/
Once you have that, you will want that patched file into the fastboot directory on your computer. You will also want the vbmeta and the patched vbmeta img files (from the root moto vision package) in this directory. I have not used the updated version, I am using the older. I don't know about using the newer package which only has 1 vbmeta file.
Put your phone into fastboot mode.
Flash the vbmeta.img file, then the magisk patched boot file, then the vbmeta patched file. Then do a fastboot wipe of the phone.
Reboot the phone.
Set it up again, install magisk manager, then open it, and it should ask to configure. Let it do that, it should reboot and after that, you should be rooted.

I guess goofball2k detailed reply might have helped by now. On the other hand, I'm just curious to know that the next time you or anyone else for that matter face the same issue, please flash the stock firmware (using any of the Android 10 tools from here ) at that instance, then again start the same process and let me know whether you succeed or not (you will still have to execute the fastboot boot twrp command around 4-8 times, but during all these attempts, you should now get the success message, and after x number of attempts, you should succeed). So in short, if flashing the stock firmware after that error helps you out, do let me know
Thank you

You aren't flashing, your command is trying to boot from vbmeta.img. You are missing the flashing command.
Red Magic 8 Pro stuck fastboot

Did you somehow change your slot? If you haven't upgraded the firmware, then the 2nd slot is empty, and it will not boot anything.

Did you flash boot.img or init_boot.img?
It sounds like you are booting the wrong slot.

I flashed those 2 files and changed both slots but failed to start the phone
I faced with the problem by locking the bootloader with init_boot.img for magisk. Then I unlocked it again and switched aactive slot to b and then to a in "Fastboot Enhance" tool. After that my phone entered to the system.
[TOOL][Windows] Fastboot Enhance [Payload Dumper & Image Flasher]

@Mr.PvT did you ever make any progress with this? I am in the same boat now. Flashed a GSI and tested it out. DIdnt like it so flashed the 3.18 Payload.bin thru Fastboot enhance and am stuck on Bootloader. Cant access anything else as no matter what I choose it boots to bootloader.

I also went from a GSI to stock ROM and this worked, some steps may be unnecessary:
In bootloader change active slot to a
Flash all of payload.bin images
Reboot to fastboot and flash all of payload images
Reboot to recovery
Hold volume down for a few seconds to enable sideload
Connect the phone to a pc and ADB sideload NX729J-update.zip
Then wipe data and reboot
Also did your calls and messages work when using the GSI?

In Fastbootd:
Everything that failed in bootloader, flashed beside system. Could only flash _b slots. Nothing seems to exist for slot a. I did not fastboot format or erase anything to my knowledge unless Fastboot Enhance did so when I flashed the playload.bin thru it without having logs on to watch what it did. If it formated or erased any partitions can they be recreated?
And last when in Recovery:

What is the error when flashing system?
If it has something to do with not being able to resize the system partition, check this link:

I copied the fastboot.exe from fastboot enchanced to the directory of the extracted payload.bin. Was able to recreate partitions. Am attempting to recover from potential brick.
I tried LineageOS TD-based. Didnt attempt calls or messages. Was just checking out the feel of the rom and its capabilities.
Can someone run this fastboot command in bootloader and fastbootd and save the results in a text file?
fastboot getvar all
Omit the serial number in bootloader and fastbootd's printout.

So looking thru this, the only difference I have is:
(bootloader) partition-size:userdata: 0x718BCD3000 Mine
(bootloader) partition-size:userdata: 0x35F5CD3000 Yours
as well as:
(bootloader) slot-successful:a:yes Yours
(bootloader) slot-successful:a:no Mine
but thats because it hasnt successfully booted since last flash.
I also need the fastbootd's printout. The one provided was from bootloader. The one from fastbootd will give logical partitions and has slot info.

Yeap I did all that but calls and texts only half worked. I could do calls but no audio and I could send texts but couldn't receive. Was the main reason why I switched back to stock
