[Q] Data transfer failure ((Too many links) while sending 'system'

PROBLEM SOLVED! I used another pc, my usb ports were the problem! I recently got my Nexus 7 (2012), wi-fi only , I unlocked it's bootloader, installer TWRP recovery, and rooted it. For all these operations i used the N7 toolkit , because back then, I was a noob. The rooted tablet (4.2.2) worked Perfectly! But, after about 3 months, it's "volume down" button stopped working. I rebooted it, but it went in bootloader, instead of normal system. So I just select "Start" and it was in Safe Mode! OK, my "volume down" didn't work in Safe Mode (and bootloader mode) neither! And every time I reboot it, it goes to bootloader! I thought that it was a software problem confused , so I began flashing a new ROM. I didn't want to use the toolkit because everyone says that it's bad . I downloaded AndroidSDK, I re-downloaded the ADB and Fastboot drivers, and I downloaded the newer version of the bootloader (4.23, .img) . Tablet was already in bootloader and I connected it to the PC. In platform-tools folder I ran the "fastboot devices" command, and It was able to see it . So I copied the bootloader img to the same folder, and I ran "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.23.img" . Then I rebooted it into bootloader again. IT WORKED! But, it didn't solve the "volume down" problem. My rooted 4.2.2 and TWRP were still on the system. Everytime I power off the tablet, and then hold the "Power" button, it goes into bootloader. It was that button issue causing that. Then I decided to take it to the service (same place where I bought iw the unloct) , but I couldn't because if they saked bootloader, non-stock recovery and the root, the wouldn't accept the warranty . I decided to download the latest 4.3 stock android, and stock recovery, flash them, and lock the bootloader. I downloaded 4.3 stock from google's official site, (nakasi-jwr66y) and I used the flash-all.bat command that came with it.
.bat command looks like this:
PATH=%PATH%;"%SYSTEMROOT%\System32"
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.23.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 >nul
fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jwr66y.zip
echo Press any key to exit...
pause >nul
exit
I ran it. It successfully did the oem unlock (it was already unlocked) , all the erase commands, and flash bootloader command. But it was stuck on
"fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jwr66y.zip" . It stays steady for about 30secs , and than it says
"sending 'system' (x-kb)"
After some time it just says Data transfer failure(too manly links) ...
I tried the same process billion more times, but same error :/
I tried
-Re-downloading and installing the drivers
-Changing the usb ports, and microUSB cables,
-Restarting the pc (of course)
-Re-downloading the nakasi-jwr66y
-Downloading the twrp recovery (it successfully flashes it)
-Re-downloading the whole SDK
But it DOESN'T WORK? What should I do? Is the volume-down issue hardware or software ?
Sorry for my bad English :////////
P.S. What is the difference between "fastboot flashall" and "fastboot update" ?

Boot Loop - ZE550KL

Hello guys,
Sorry for my bad English
My phone just turned off even if the battery is almost full. When I turned it on its stuck in a boot loop. Sometimes it's goes to a screen where it would say process not responding. It's still on the stock ROM and recovery. I didn't try to root it or flash anything on it.
I tried some troubleshooting like flashing the firmware from the Asus website but it didn't work. Please help

Have you try flashing from Micro SD card in stock recovery?

Thank you for the reply bro. I already did and it's still not working.

To reset the phone in cases like this, one could also use fastboot.
Boot in fastboot mode by pressing VolumeUp button while switching on the phone, then connect the phone to a PC with a usb cable (you must have fastboot/adb drivers installed). You can now open a command prompt and use the commands:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
The second command erase all the user's data on the phone.
The last command erases the operating system and you must install the full firmware in zip format from the recovery afterward (with a microSD card or with a PC via ADB sideload).

you can install custom recovery?

I had a boot loop issue too. I could solve it by entering fastboot and trying using the defaut roms boot.img through fastboot. You can extract the boot.img from any firmware image file from the Asus site.
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img

After these commands, had to do a wipe data/factory reset prior to update from sd card (adb sideload not work at alll).
but no luck, keep boot looping...

maybe you should unlock the bootloader before trying those commands

why don't u try, adb sideload option once, give it a try

i dont know what firmware my dads ze550kl is...
and it is bootlooping continously....
what is best files to flash via recovery update from sd card method?
i want to save my dads internal memory

Try this:
fastboot boot recovery.img

This may result an error if you don't flash the right file,it depends on your firmware version. I have a file that works on lolipop (twrp.).

I had the same issue, as my device was on warranty period i took it to the service centre and they said the mother board is damaged

Im facing the same problem I installed a new ROM from SD card and it was successfully done but the phone is still stuck in boot loop and unfortunately my USB debugging is disabled my bootloader is locked and my phone is not rooted and it's in stock recovery can anyone please help me

and when i flash the recovery , it finished propery but there is nothing happen in my phone still stucked into fastboot mode..
when i press power+volume(-) only fastboot mode is opened..
what to do now??
how to reinstall bootloader (recovery or twrp)??
plz help guyzz//:crying::crying:

I face the same bootloop problem with my mother's cellphone. The bootloader is locked and USB debug is disabled.
I tried to flash stock img via adb sideload, and although it succeed, after factory reset in Recovery (and pull battery several time) I could finally get into the "setup wizard" of Android system.
However, the system will go into bootloop again when the wizard goes to "wifi" setup. The phone will not go into setup wizard again unless I do a factory reset (and battery pull) again...
It seems there are some hardware failure at Wifi component (Since I already erase all \data, \cache), and this failure caused reboot of the system...
Any idea?

Root, Downgrade and install TWRP

For the last week I have been trying to root and install TWRP on my Huawei p8 Lite ALE21. Sofar every attempt has failed.
Steps taken:
Get Bootloader Code
Unlock bootloader with "fastboot oem unlock"
Flash TWRP with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Result:
When booting into recovery the default "Huawei eRecovery" opens, not TWRP
No app can detect root
Additional info:
TWRP form here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/development/testing-twrp-2-8-7-x-huawei-p8lite-qcom-t3187758
Trying to debug the problem, I entered
Code:
fastboot getvar all
this returned
Code:
getvar:all FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
Additional I have tried to downgrade to android 5.0 again, but after copying the Firmware to the "dload" folder and holding the Volume-Up and Down and Power buttons, the phone wouldn't do anything but show the huawei logo and turn off.
Any help would be very appreciated!
Thank you in advance,
Oisin

You need twrp 3.0.2 for B5xx, i was thinking you had the right one (2.8.7 works on kk and maybe lollipop), so here you are: http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/twrp-3-0-0-0-p8-lite-kirin-t3343320

Can't unlock BRICKED Redmi Note 7 (FACTORY RESET ISSUE)

Guys, I need some help!
I've factory reset my Redmi Note 7, it was already rooted with TWRP recovery and unlocked bootloader. Then it got to TWRP GUI and I swiped to reboot the device and it says the system is destroyed.
MI Unlock tool and fastboot can't boot or flash:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem unlock
...
FAILED (remote: Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device
)
finished. total time: 0.004s
MiFlash disconnects my device every time i click refresh
If I try fastboot boot recovery.img or twrp.img it says I cant flash because my phone is locked.
I can't boot the device to enable usb debug because is bricked and now it says it's locked and I can't flash nothing.
What should I do?
