You need to provide a bit of information about what you have done to your phone. Unlocked bootloader won't matter but any system changes.

I've done nothing. My bootloader is locked. Nothing is changed.

Looking at your previous posts that is clearly not the case, good luck.

SOLVED! I flashed the same Stock ROM in the Fastboot Mode and tried to update again, it worked.

This one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Eorm8joRrDJnCgJtBR8cqWaHjGbmiFmK/edit
Steps:
Put your phone in fastboot mode
Open command prompt in the downloaded folder and type: "fastboot oem lock" and hold the VOL - for not erasing the data.
Go to the folder again and click in the _Flash_lock.bat - and then you wait until the process to end but be careful, you'll have to press VOL - again for not erasing data after automatic lock.
Boot your phone normally and try to update, good luck.

First, the rom is not from an official Xiaomi server. Next, the vol- button trick doesn't actually work since the next time you boot twrp, your user data will be erase. And the update failed on your phone because something on the system partition was changed or you booted into TWRP and set r+w permission.

You don't need to make any modifications, just mounting /system with rw in twrp will break ota.

Dude, I'm just trying to help who wants help (I was in need before).
The ROM is not from the Official Website, I took it from a post here I don't remember which post. I'll search and drop it here.
The VOL - trick worked for me.
I never said I booted the TWRP, the phone was in fastboot all the time with .bat command executing the commands.
I'm here for future questions

Hola Sergio Ricardo, no entendí si es oem unlock o local y después los últimos pasos me perdí, podrías explicarlo en español?

I was just warning you that the trick as you put it will be nasty one when you or someone else who tries to follow get their phone wiped if they ever boot into twrp.

He already said he has no TWRP installed and obviously if you're using OTA, you wouldn't have TWRP whilst updating
So does this mean you can't update to january if you have an unlocked bootloader? I had magisk installed in my device, restored image and downloaded the update but it shows installation error. Then after that, I flashed stock pie 9.0 via fastboot from someone who decompiled the payload from OTA and kept bootloader unlocked and tried to update but still it shows as installation error. I have no TWRP installed.

hola,si quieres restaurar la imagen stock para actualizar,as recovery PERO NO EN TWRP y monta la imagen desde ahí, reinicia y listo yo estoy con parche de noviembre que acabo de actualizar y antes de eso tenía magisk con Gcam y mods de audio espero les sirva

Having TWRP installed as the recovery and just booting into TWRP are 2 different things.

[HARD BRICK] Moto G4 hardbricked after flashing TWRP

Hey guys,
i've a massive problem with my G4. Today i flashed TWRP on the device, after i was unlocking the bootloader. After booting up into TWRP, and installing SuperSU, I just restarted it. Now it's dead. Seriously, it's dead.
I can't start it at all. If I plug in a USB-Cable, i just see the LED Light. I've Windows, and at my Device Manager, the G4 is recognized as QHSUSB_BULK.
I saw a Thread for the Moto G (1th), and i'm pretty sure, that i can't to this like in this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-revive-hard-bricked-moto-g-t2833798
Is there any option, what i can do?
@Marwycy are you able to boot into bootloader and TWRP..?
Keep volume and power key pressed for about 2 minutes,
And then if you made any backup restore it, otherwise flash stock...

At first i wasn't but, i found a thread with a solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/help-xt1642-hard-bricked-help-t3498943
Now i can boot into the Bootloader, i deleted TWRP with fastboot, to flash the stock firmware from the motorola support site.
But its not working yet.
After "fastboot flash -S 1900M system system.img" I just get the error: "cannot load system.img". If I just use "fastboot flash -S 1800 system system.img", fastboot is going to flash, but stopped with the error:"(bootloader) data size exceeds download buffer. The last error seems to be logical, the file is bigger than 1800MB..
I'll try to flash each files which are in the image.

Are you trying to flash "dumped system" ...??
It will not get flashed that way, you need to download complete firmware, download links are there on which link I provided first..
Download correct firmware and follow that guide..

Sorry, i was a bit confused because of this large list of commands:
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7

And i figured out, that it's not necessary. All I had to do ist following the official way by just using "fastboot system system.img" , with the Image from the officla Motorola website. My first file was corrupt, that was the problem.
Now my phone is working again
Thanks for help.

Okay -
1)Firstly, what were you doing when you rebooted - were you installing an update? If so, do you remember what the update was (what number did it end in, for example)?
2)Have you tried holding the power button for 2 minutes? This may force a hard reboot and could break your device out of the state it's in.
3)When you plug your device into your computer, what is the device name that comes up (e.g. is it Moto G4 Plus in Device Manager>Portable Devices or Qualcomm HSUSB 9008 or similar)?
4)What error message did you get?
5)Is your device with an unlocked bootloader or locked bootloader?

Okay, point 3 indicates that you perhaps need to try resetting your phone with a blankflash: you may wish to have a look at this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71405834&postcount=23 Please read all the steps fully before proceeding if you choose to follow that post. I recall you've posted in the hard brick thread too, which has similar instructions, perhaps this may work.
I do not know if this will work, but it's worth a try.

@kiukirimas
thanks for the method bro. Can we root xperia xa ultra without unlocking the bootloader? is it possible? bcoz unlocking the bootloader leads to loose DRM keys, and even if we take TA back up, i feel the image enhancement for image and videos wont work properly. Does any disadvantage of unlocking the bootloader? Heard some camera features wont work????
Everything Will work ok, no such things on the camera, anyway you do lose the image enhancement, but it Will still work on YouTube and Facebook. This method is Just for unlocked bootloader, dont do it on a locked one, or you will be in logo's bootloop
Well, if only we could root with locked bootloader, kind of like a tethered root so we could remove bloatware and install Viper4Android.
Can't wait for a root that works with lb

True..well, I could maybe compromise on a bit of bloatware and without root if we can somehow run Viper4android.
But the best would be achieving root so we can do whatever we want. F213 here, carrier-locked, no OTA updates since the phone came out of the box
Thanks for this guide, I haven't done it yet but looks straightforward.

Anyone notice high battery drain after rooting? I can't determine what causes the battery to drain so fast (app, services, alarms, wakelocks). This won't happen if i'm not rooted via magisk. Any help?
No se puede hacer algo parecido en oreo? No me interesa mucho el twrp..no hay ROM ni nada..no es indispensable

Root Xiaomi Mi A2 Using Magisk (Simple Guide)

To Root your Mi A2 you will have to first unlock its bootloader, follow all steps correctly to gain root access on your Mi A2 device,
NOTE : All data will be wiped during bootloader unlocking, so make sure to backup each and every thing on your device.
first of all enable developer option & then enable OEM unlocking & USB debugging,
Now setup adb and fastboot drivers on your laptop/PC,
Now connect your Mi A2 (on state) and allow USB debugging popup.
now boot into fastboot mode (power off and press & hold volume down + power key simultaneously)
now connect your mi a2 to your laptop/pc,
now run fastboot oem unlock it will unlock the bootloader and reboot your device, also will wipe data,
now again setup the device and enable developer option, enable OEM unlocking, enable USB debugging, and connect to allow usb debugging.
now once again boot into fastboot mode (as described above), and connect your mi a2 to your laptop/pc
now download august months (V9.6.10.0.ODIMIFE, August 5 2018.) patched_boot.img (dont use if you are on any other month patch) use that months patched_boot.img file only.
now put the patched_boot.img to adb folder.
now again open the command or powershell window, and run fastboot boot patched_boot.img
it will boot your device, now just download the Magisk manager apk and install it.
open magisk manager and click on install, then direct install (recommended),
it will now download the magisk zip file and flash it at its own, after its done simply reboot your Mi A2 and voila we have successfully rooted our Mi A2.
let me know if you have any issues following this tutorial.

If rooting voids your warranty depends a lot where you live. It's just a disclaimer from the devs that they can't be held responsible for any damage.

Depends on Xiaomi to be honest, I searched and found conflicting opinions about xiaomi being okay with rooting and still provide warranty on the device (hardware, that is). Technically, they shouldn't as rooting allows you do to things that can easily shorten your device's life. But I just wanted to use substratum on my new Mi A2 without losing the warranty on a brand new phone as it might have defects which I haven't noticed yet. (And as I've heard andromeda is **** so won't pay for that.)

Xiaomi does not stand above european law so not really. But as I said, depends where you live of course. A modified boot image should do no harm still.

Most likely the last yes.
I have a problem with my A2. I followed your rooting instructions and everything went well and I got a root. But then I wanted to install TWRP and I followed those instructions:
fastboot flash boot_b TWRP-3.2.3-jasmine-20180804.img
fastboot set_active b
fastboot reboot (with holding volume up)
It went to TWRP
I changed the partition to A and rebooted system
Now I can't boot OS anymore. It's loading all the time and nothing happens.
What can I do now? Please help, I am not the advanced Android user.
I still can go into Fastboot and TWRP, but I'm not sure what to do and I don't want to do something wrong more.

Yes, I'm sure I changed partition to A, but I finally managed to fix it. I powered off phone from TWRP and then booted it again (after an hour ) and it worked.
Now I have one more question. When I boot from Fastboot with patched_boot.img, root is gained. But when I restart my phone normally the root is gone. Is it normal and how to get constant root?

You dont need TWRP, because A2 has ****ing A/B and TWRP is not supported, because bootlooping after install twrp. Dowloand ROM from Xioami webpage and unpack original boot.img, flash to b and a (original boot)
try if mobile normal boot to system. Go fastboot and patched_boot.img flash to b / a.

Nokia 6 Rooting?

Hi!
I need some help rooting my Nokia 6 Mobile phone
The model number is TA- 1033
I have tried all kinds of different sources as a guide, but all failed for me.
I tried several one-click root tools as well. (Kingroot, Kingo Root)
I have tried to unlock the bootloader with Fastboot and ADB for the TWRP recovery flash
I have got developer options and also enabled USB Debugging and OEM unlocking ut the procedure still fail all the time.
I've tied to flash the TWRP without unlocking the bootloader but that ailed as well.
My device is not bricked yet.
Thank you for your help
My attempts to root were successful only on Nougat (Not Oreo, because of bootloader)
Make a backup of all your important files in your phone.
Download OST and with it install this stock rom (https://mega.nz/#!5ccRnb4b!VsgiKQ4CjxFyjbjcxR0esjeKmHZsUTnEz0FA_FMZQbM)
(To install it, you need the phone in bootloader mode.)
If it displays an error the first time, try again until the installation is fully successful.
Once the phone is turned on, the first thing you need to do is turn off automatic software updates. Know that if you want root, you should forget about OTA updates.
Once all written above is done remains to unlock the bootloader and installing TWRP.
For that..
Enter in bootloader mode.
Use Fastboot from your PC and enter this command to allow the partitions to be changed on your phone.
(To get MD5 of your serial number, use this website: http://www.miraclesalad.com/webtools/md5.php)
fastboot oem dm-verity [MD5_of_your_device_serial_number]
(Example: fastboot oem dm-verity 5f47b9a8dc1da1873c12945cf806691e)
After that download this bootloader(http://pc.cd/xUFrtalK) and flash it:
fastboot flash aboot D1C-emmc_appsboot.mbn
(Make sure that downloaded bootloader is located in adb/fastboot folder)[Or you can type full file path of bootloader(Example: "C:\Users\Martin\Downloads\D1C-emmc_appsboot.mbn")]
(This to flash an unlocked bootloader.)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
(This is to reboot for using new unlocked bootloader.)
fastboot oem dm-verity [MD5_of_your_device_serial_number]
(Again to allow installing partitions.)
Download recovery from here: https://mega.nz/#F!K1k0gC5C!xpw3-AQvSQJ5p6VWX19gpA)
Flash it with this command:
fastboot flash recovery nokia-6-ta-1000-8_0-twrp3.2.1-7to-recovery-magisk-root-2018.3.15.img
(Make sure that downloaded recovery is located in adb/fastboot folder)[Or you can type full file path of twrp recovery(Example: "C:\Users\Martin\Downloads\nokia-6-ta-1000-8_0-twrp3.2.1-7to-recovery-magisk-root-2018.3.15.img")]
After that reboot to twrp recovery and flash Magisk ROOT.
All is done.
Magisk is built in recovery. You don't need to download it from internet. Flash magisk which is in recovery.
Warning: After opening magisk manager you can update app but you can't update magisk version (core). Because latest version cause bootloop on ours devices. Use 16.1 version which is in recovery build it.
I hope everything will be fine. Good luck!
Hi! I have some issues.

Okay
So when I tried to flash the rom you gave me it failed with a download error. I tried to use OST LA 6.0.4 and 6.1.2 but both failed.
Clicking on the "Edit phone information" didn't work either. Can you help me in this situation? I have tried to reinstall OST LA several times, but it didn't resolve the problem.

That means you cannot use OST LA or oem-veracity. Nokia changed the algorithm with August patch. You can basically not root your phone anymore using this method.

Make backup on anything! You will not have access to anything until you install the rom I gave you in the first post.
Go to recovery and flash this ota update.
https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZYg1T7ZzpJwx2DdRo4wbpTUEXABAfnS9PgX
After all go to recovery again.
If it says that the Android version is 7.1, then everything is ready.
If it does not get the first time, flash ota again.
When I did it, I think I flash two times ota update.
If it's okay, try the Instructions from the first post again.

Bricked OnePlus 6T, MSMDownloadTool not fixing it

Hi guys, I have kinda big problem.
Yesterday I was messing around with my device just to understand how the a/b partitions work. Then I decided to install a custom rom but TWRP was throwing me errors at the end of the installation (cannot mount /system (access denied) or something like that). After this problem I thought the best solution was to erase every partition (yes, I'm an idiot) throught fastboot and then reflash the phone with msmdownloadtool. I did exactly that and when the unbrick tool finished the phone rebooted and got stuck on the boot screen (the big red circle and the two smaller ones around it). I don't know what to do, I tried almost every version of msmdownloadtool (even the h2os one), I tried unlocking the bootloader, but the phone rejects it and I'm still stuck in a bootloop.
Please help me, I'm running out of ideas and I don't want to have a 570€ paperweight.
Sorry if my english is bad, this is not my native language.

Try only MSMTool again. It is the ultimate solution for bricks.
If that doesn't help, then contact OnePlus and behave dumb. Just say your device stopped working

Lo siento por mi ingles. Tuve el mismo problema y lo resolví con comandos ADB. No recuerdo cómo. Estoy seguro de que tuve suerte ... Tal vez puedas intentarlo. Al menos, la PC debería leer el modo fastboot y comenzar a hacer algo.

I think I'll have to send it to OnePlus. But before that I would like to try to revive it. I can access fastboot, but the bootloader is locked, can I do something in fastboot or with the locked bootloader I'm out of luck?
Thanks.
Don't worry I understood you.
The problem is I can't access to adb because the stock recovery doesn't allow and I can't boot any custom recovery because my bootloader I locked.
Thanks.
I have the same issue with oneplus x, and I followed this method, https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3272108
So try to get stock recovery mode on you phone, then try to flash stock rom. Later you can go for the TWRP and Magisk Installation for Root access.

The problem is the OnePlus 6T doesn't have an adb sideload option in the stock recovery so I can't sideload anything and the msmdownloadtool left me with the bootloader locked, so I can't flash anything in fastboot nor boot a custom recovery.
Thanks.

Try fastbooting the stock boot.img, follow the instructions below...
Reboot to Bootloader
Open up a command prompt in the folder with the boot.img
Enter the command
Code:
fastboot boot *insert boot.img name here*
Nothing, just wait for your phone to boot
1. Download full OTA to your pc and unzip https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397891265
2. Edit flash-all-partitions.bat and put this line on the top "fastboot -w" and save
3. double click flash-all-partitions.bat
4. If step 3 still showing error. Edit flash-all-partitions.bat and add "fastboot set_active other" on the top and save then repeat step 3 again.

I tried entering in fastboot mode and writing "fastboot -w" but it says "FAILED (remote: 'Erase is not allowed in Lock State')". I think it's because the bootloader is locked, I don't know what can I do next.
Thanks.
Is there any way that I could wipe everything in EDL mode? Is the only thing I think it could fix the phone.
Please could you give me more suggestions. I don't know what to do, I flashed the phone with MSMDownloadTool at least ten times and still nothing, it only shows the boot animation and gets stuck there and fastboot doesn't accept any command because of the locked bootloader.
Thanks.

Which version of the MSM tool are you using?
Is the phone fully charged?
How long are you waiting for the phone to boot? When you say stuck do you just leave the phone alone?
After MSM the first boot is a long time.

I'm using the v4.0.58 one with OOS 9.0.11, yes the phone is at 75%.
I wait around an hour to see if it boots, but nothing.
When I said that my phone got stuck I meant that it got stuck in the boot animation and nothing else happens.
Yeah, I know, but I don't think it needs an hour to boot.
Thanks.

sometime flushing cache can solves this kind of issue.

Yes, the same, because the bootloader is locked I can't do anything except "fastboot OEM unlock" which I can't use because I can't access os and I can't turn on oem unlocking.
Thanks.

How can I do that? I tried wiping cache and factory resetting in recovery but nothing. Still in bootloop.

Dunno if this will work but after reflashing another time. Boot to stock recovery and factory reset. I dunno the exact procedure but I assume you boot to bootloader and from there boot to recovery and do a factory reset. I had something similar. I flashed OOS via TWRP after soft bricking my phone. And factory reset fixed it. Tho in my case it didn't even load the bootanimation. Just the Unlock Warning and reboot.

I tried that and it's still stuck on the boot animation, I think it's just a hardware problem because back then with my OnePlus 3T I did the same and it worked just fine. I contacted OnePlus and they accepted sending the phone to them. I'll see when they examine it what is their answer.
Thanks.
What I did to brick it was using this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516
And inside the manual flash section there are a lot of fastboot commands.
What I did was using only the fastboot ones and replacing "flash" to "erase" to delete every partition. After that I flashed the phone using msmdownloadtool right away. My question is: Could this be the cause that my phone is in bootloop?
Thanks.
