Please help me out, I'm Installing a Custom Recovery - Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers

Hello!
I tried to flash TWRP on my Moto G7 Play a couple of days ago because I wanted to use a custom ROM. While I was trying to flash TWRP on the phone, I got this error:
(bootloader) is-logical:recovery: not found
Sending 'recovery' (29744 KB) OKAY [ 0.814s]
Writing 'recovery' (bootloader) Invalid partition name recovery
FAILED (remote: '')

A good start would be asking in the right forum, it'd increase your chance to get help, as there'd be more users with your device.
At the same time, your error does say "invalid partition name recovery," I'm no pro but seems like you'd wanna fix the name, so it's valid. Just a thought, dunno .

The firmware you are trying to flash is too old hense the security downgrade error
You must use firmware that is equal to or newer than what was previously flashed on it

That command is just to tell the phone you are about to flash firmware and the clear command at the end exists this mode
You don't need to use these commands it's just a way of telling the phone what you are doing and to start the phone normally after the flashing
You should be able to start with gpt (presuming you have found a firmware that is the same or newer than what you have on the phone already)

I presume you can get into the bootloader without using a sdcard for a hard bricked device
If so skip gpt and bootloader parts of the firmware - these don't need to be flashed unless your phone was hard bricked (just get a red flashing led if mmcblk0 sdcard not inserted)
Also make sure you have the Motorola drivers installed and that you are using the latest fastboot drivers from the android sdk

Neither do i as I don't own your phone
Go to your own phone forum or Google for firmware for your device
To flash gpt and bootloader it must be the same or newer than version on device and an unlocked bootloader to avoid permissions errors especially if has been unlocked before

Bricked XT1952-1

Hello,
today my Moto G7 Play XT1952-1 seems to be bricket. It got stuck at fastboot. The Motorola/Lenovo Rescue tool did not recognize my phone. Seems the bootloader is defective? I will have an try with blank-flash, but i always get an error message: ERROR: sahara_greet_device()->change_mode()->do_hello()->IO error.
Flashing the bootloader gives that result:
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'boot' (32768 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.187s]
writing 'boot'...
(bootloader) Invalid partition name boot
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 1.187s
Are the partitions damaged somehow?
Any suggestions to fix my phone?
Regards,
Ben
I solved the problem - sometimes it is better to use native windows instead of linux ran it under windows and now i was able to install TWRP again.

Help! Redmi note 8 (2021) bricked (bootloop)

Hello,
I'm a beginner in the field of flasing custom roms but I would really like to abandon using google on my phone and find your work here really awesome. So yeah, I hope my question doesn't sound stupid but I'm seriously stuck and hope I didn't completely break my phone.
I am using a Redmi Note 8 (2021) and wanted to flash lineageOS. So I unlocked the bootloader via my mi account, booted into fastboot mode (usb-debugging was of course enabled) and tried to flash twrp to recovery using the cmd-window via platform-tools.
This didn't work because when I typed:
./fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I got the reply:
Sending 'recovery' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.743s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'This partition doesn't exist')
fastboot: error: Command failed
I therefore started googling and found a threat on xda where someone had solved the problem by replacing 'recovery' with 'boot':
./fastboot flash boot twrp.img
What I got was:
Sending 'boot_a' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.818s]
Writing 'boot_a' OKAY [ 0.827s]
Finished. Total time: 2.681s
After that my phone was bricked. I cannot enter recovery mode anymore and even fastboot mode appears a bit different (I don't see the bunny anymore, all I see is the word 'fastboot' in orange letters on a black screen). When I enter fastboot mode, the device is detected by my computer - the only sign that still gives me an inch of hope. When I'm not in fastboot mode my phone keeps vibrating and then turning of, then suddenly it vibrates again and turns on, the logo 'redmi' appears and then it suddenly turns off again - and it just keeps repeating this procedure.
I downloaded the mi flash tool and tried to flash the Xiaomi ROM, but that didn't work either - after about five minutes of waiting I get an error. I tried different versions of MIUI but keep getting errors. When I try to flash the Xiaomi ROM via cmd-window, as suggested here ( https://www.droidwin.com/unbrick-redmi-note-8-fastboot-commands/ ) I get this:
fastboot flash xbl xbl.elf
Sending 'xbl' (3449 KB) OKAY [ 0.105s]
Writing 'xbl' FAILED (remote: 'This partition doesn't exist')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Is there anything left for me to do or should I give up and save money for a new phone? I am also wondering why the command-window keeps talking about 'boot_a'. Is there a 'boot-b' also? And should I write something onto it? When I try to boot the twrp.img by typing:
fastboot boot twrp.img
I get:
Sending 'boot.img' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.592s]
Booting FAILED (Status read failed (Too many links))
fastboot: error: Command failed
I would be very, very grateful for help

I guess you have used a wrong recovery file, maybe one for another device
The problem is that the command 'flash recovery' does not work, because it says th partition does not exist....

wrong forum ! , see Biloba forum
on some devices, boot+recovery are on the same partition, but not for Biloba
boot partition (+dtbo on some cases) is the kernel
i think you should look for official install of miui rom since it has IMG of most partitions ...

Question Android 12 Indian version

Hey guys,
Anyone knows if the stock Android 12 version for this phone is supposed to be this one: HANOIP_RETAIL_S2RIS32.32_20_7_2_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC.xml ?
The only thing that strikes me as potentially not ok is the RETAIL part (shouldn't it be RETIN?) and the DEFAULT CFC.
Can anyone from india confirm this is what it's supposed to be delivered to users in India?
@Raghu varma could you help with some feedback on this, please?
This is not for my phone, by the way. But a friend of mine got into botoloop on his G60 (XT2135-2) ro.carrier: retin, without even unlocking the bootloader (it's all stock). And I was trying to help him get his phone back working. But looks like, so far, no success.
Flashing stock ROM works fine...but, it doesn't fix the actual issue. Factory Resetting also no result.
When trying to boot, the phone shows this:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)
No bootable A/B slot
Failed to boot Linux, falling back to fastboot
Fastboot Reason: Fall-through from normal boot mode
Getvar also confirms no bootable slots. So it bootloops for a couple of times, then it shows this error.
So I was thinking maybe LMSA is providing the wrong version. Unlikely, I know. But when I saw "RETAIL" that's what I was thinking.
So...I'm curious. Is this the right version for India? And, if anybody else got this issue, how did you guys fix it?

Hi ,
For Indian units we too don't have any official RETIN software. but unfortunately even LMSA redirects to RETAIL software to flash forcefully after i enter my IMEI number to check for latest firmware sadly.
So it's all about phone should work on any firmware but yes make sure the bootloader unlock mandatory to do experiments.

Thank you very much for your feedback!
Question: if we try the previous version (S2RI32.32_20_7) should it work without unlocking the bootloader? I'm trying to avoid unlocking bootloader, because that also means losing the warranty. And i'd like to keep that in case he sends the device for repair.
I think the bootloader should refuse flashing in case it cannot flash that version, right? So...it shouldn't hurt to try. What do you think?

50% chances but no hopes. but LMSA has permissions to flash on locked bootloader if i remember correctly. Correct me if i am wrong. so blindly flash recommended firmware by LMSA after your friend enter his IMEI to get back to working state. So that service centre is the final cutting edge work to accomplish straight away.

Yeah.... The problem is not the flashing itself. That works fine. It's that, with the ROM downloaded by LMSA (the one in my initial post), no matter if it's flashed by LMSA or manually with fastboot commands, the issue still occurs.
Yes, there are some differences between the ROMs in different regions. This time I did not flash the original European ROM, which made me unable to use China Unicom 4g by default. I entered 4636 from the dialer and found that the default frequency band selected is gsm. Switching to evdo I got a normal network connection. But the phone settings interface shows it's 3g and when I switch it back to 4g I lose the network connection again. . . .

Yes, there are some differences between the ROMs in different regions. This time I did not flash the original European ROM, which made me unable to use China Unicom 4g by default. I entered 4636 from the dialer and found that the default frequency band selected is gsm. Switching to evdo I got a normal network connection. But the phone settings interface shows it's 3g and when I switch it back to 4g I lose the network connection again. . . .

According to my analysis, the carrier configuration is something which is restricted from hardware level. We call it as Carrier bands ( in india the moto g60 has certain bands which can survive almost every local carrier. ) So the bands for europian moto g60 models are limited. On & all changing different version stock doesn't hamper anything profit Unless we enable through motherboard. So only way is all about visit service centre and ask them to change the motherboard to global version which can survive any carrier network over the world
@arsradu @xindefenggan
Yeah, I wasn't planning on flashing a ROM from another region. I was only curious if the retail version of this build is the correct one for India.
Cause...with Android 11, according to the mirror site, the build are indeed retin specific.
What's interesting, si that we've got this exact build number S2RIS32.32_20_7_2 in Europe. And...while it's also under "retail" instead of "reteu" like the previous ones, it does have Europe CFC. As where with the build above, for India, it's still on Default CFC.
That's why I thought maybe the build is wrong. But I guess it's not, and the problem is probably somewhere else.
Thank you very much for all your feedback guys!

Mine is not a retail version, it shows that the software update channel is North America, obviously it is a North American engineering machine

Yup the base motherboard belongs to North American then.
@Raghu varma, for reference, this is what happens if you try to flash an older version (in this case S2RI32.32-20-7), with a locked bootloader. I only selected the errors/warnings where applicable. Rest of the files are flashed successfully.
So, basically nothing was broken, but also, nothing was fixed either. Unfortunately. Next step would be unlocking the bootloader.
