fastboot boot twrp.img FAILED (remote: unknown command) - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

So as I woke up I had just seen that omg Android 10 is finally being released, the stable version. I just downloaded the OTA and flashed it and wow am i impressed. The first thing I did was do an antutu benchmark and I got 354802 which I thought was pretty impressive. Then I saw that it said that my device was rooted, which was odd, because I just updated the rom. I checked magisk manager and it showed that magisk was not installed. I tried the usual way to get into recovery by using fastboot boot twrp.img but it just didnt work.
Is this a bug or something else?

Well, it's expected behaviour for A10. fastboot boot is currently disabled by OnePlus devs.

Try Fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img(or whatever you named the file)

I did this and it was flashing the TWRP as boot.img. After that my OP6T didn't get out of the locked screen or showed the Qualcomm CrashDumb.
After several times pressing the power button, finally the bootloader showed up again and I was able to flash the original boot.img again

Twrp can't flash anything to system in A10 right now, so unless that is fixed there is no point at this moment anyway. A10 uses a virtualized system partition which doesn't allow R/W access to system....

boot img

Thanks

Sorry, I didn't get notification. I downloaded the complete zip file and extracted from payload.bin all images with payload_dumper-win64.

I'm having the same problem. Did anybody manage to get the fastboot boot twrp.img command working?

It depends upon the context. If you are already in A10 and If you are using Twrp which is for Android Q, it should.

If you're on OOS 10.3.0 it should work as is
In other cases try 'fastboot flash boot twrp img'

Do you have a full stock ROM for this device (or full nandroid backup)? Do you have a working port of TWRP?
We are trying to get TWRP going on an almost identical device, the Ascend XT2.

Yeah, haven't got the time to create one out of the zips.
But i'll look into it and let you know.
Btw, i'll not flash but BOOT and see if it's booting. Much safer
EDIT : NOT WORKING
I'll try to make one soon
Could you try booting the stock recovery from the update (update.app / RECOVERY.img)? I extracted using the Huawei update extract tool.
I'm not sure if this phone has some type of lock on booting a recovery (without flashing) ...
If it's easier for you, I've uploaded the extracted RECOVERY.img here:

Anyway thnx for the effort :good:
I'll test it today and update you.
EDIT : cant fastboot boot stockrecovery.img too - hangs on booting...
Seems to be a problem there. Let's look into that.
Hello friends this update serves the Huawei y7 trt lx3. Thank you
Sheesh .. does "adb reboot recovery" work either?
I flashed mine so I have no idea if that works. If it doesn't work for you, and you never flashed it, we should also try to adb reboot recovery2 & see if that also fails.
Thanks again for your help.

You're welcome.
As a matter of fact, as i look into my updates i logcatted from my phone (see OP), the recovery.img of 140 and 150 are the same size : 59032 (as yours).
But the latest 160, has a size of 62592. Check for yourself. Strange...
Anyway, i cannot fastboot boot stockrecovery like said, neither size 140 neither 160 . What works is adb reboot recovery as it is standard.
Btw, there is no such command as fastboot reboot recovery imo. Only fastboot reboot or fastboot boot recovery (either for twrp or your stockrecovery)
Also, what do you mean with : you flashed yours....what did you flash ? and why would you flash your stock recovery as you're on stock
Explain what you have done so far because it's unclear what you're doing.
I flashed various TWRPs of similar models as my recovery, including the two links I had posted in this discussion. I flashed them because "fastboot boot recovery.img" doesn't seem to work on our devices.
I still have the stock recovery in partition "erecovery" so I can adb reboot erecovery, but if I adb reboot recovery, I get the blue power light and black screen.
It's good to know that "adb reboot recovery" works for you. In the update packages, the erecovery.img and recovery.img are exactly the same file, so that's expected. It must be that the erecovery for the Y7 2017 is different than the erecovery for the Ascend XT2 H1711 :crying:

I'm in the same situation, I had a bootloader loop going for a minute there. Managed to get out. If anyone figures out the twrp situation it would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not going to wait time with all the one click root apps, considering the only computer available is an app and it seems everything is meant for PC at the moment.
Nice work guys... I'm still waiting for this device but learning in advance... Thanks

Fastboot not working anymore after the android 10 beta update

Hi xda Community,
I updated to the android 10 a week ago or so. Today i tried to downgrade to 9.0.1.7 cause the beta is way to buggy for me.
My problem is, that I can't use fastboot anymore like it was before. For example, I cannot boot via 'fastboot boot' method into recovery.
Every time I try to boot something I get FAILED (remote: unknown command)
C:\adb>fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-1-fajita.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.665s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.681s
Does somebody have a fix for this? Due the lack of TWRP, I cannot downgrade or don't now how to downgrade nor to install magisk.
Thanks in advance and have a great new week y'all
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this command will no longer work with Android Q due to Google new partition scheme.
You can check this thread out: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516 - it contains fastboot roms of Android P, which you may flash, according to tutorial.
You may also try a local update method with the rollback package (https://www.getdroidtips.com/rollback-android-10-q-pie-oneplus-6-6t/).
Note that this will, unfortunately, wipe your data.

Sure, you flash a patched boot img, with fastboot. Look into the Guides and News section you'll find what is needed. Either in 9.0.17 thread ( not renamed yet) or in How to keep twrp and Magisk thread
I don't see the point of having twrp for now, especially with the trick necessary to have decryption working.
It has been said millions time that updates work perfectly with or without twrp, with or without Magisk

I'm just wondering why their isn't any fastboot version mentioned in my fastboot mode. Looks a bit broken.
I think I wait till their is a stable way to root.

Can't install TWRP on OP6T

Hi - I am trying to reinstall TWRP on my OP6T after upgrading to OOS 10.3.0.
I am running Minimal ADB and Fastboot v1.4.3 on my Win10 PC. I have connected my phone to my PC, and entered Fastboot mode. The OP6T is detected when I do a fastboot devices command.
Next, I try doing a temporary Recovery Mode boot into TWRP with a fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-1-fajita.img command. This is where I run into a problem ... While the Minimal ADB and Fastboot window says that the TWRP image was sent to the OP6T, I am still stuck on the Fastboot screen, and the phone is locked up and doesn't reboot the image.
What is going wrong?

Thanks, @jp0469! This helps a lot!
Just to be clear (and to get to a successful conclusion without a bricked phone), I won't be installing a TWRP installer ZIP file after booting into this TWRP image (The old style method), but instead installing the same TWRP IMG file as a "Recovery RAM Disk", correct?

I was rooted with Magisk, but that got lost when I did the 10.3.0 update. Definitely planning on TWRPing and rooting again, as long as it's safe.

Once booted in twrp via fastboot flash the installer zip. It has always worked and will always. Always latest version. And flash Magisk after.

Put the latest Magisk zip and TWRP installer (zip file) on your phone's internal memory if you don't already have them there. Now you can fastboot boot the TWRP img file (Q version). Next flash the TWRP zip to permanently install TWRP into recovery. Reboot back to recovery to make sure it worked and then flash Magisk to re-gain root.
Reboot
Thanks, guys - The only reason I asked about the alternate "RAM Disk" method was because it was listed as the installation method by the developer on the link that @jp0469 provided earlier.
I'll try the old-fashioned method, since y'all say that it works OK.

I always install the latest directly from Google. There is a link on this page to the latest version of Windows ADB and Fastboot. Just unzip the file you download into a directory of your choice.
Everytime I try to boot twrp It says waiting on device. What's that mean

Magisk W/ Android 11 on OnePlus 8 Pro

Hello all...
Just a quick question as I am reading and seeing so many different answers. I have the UNLOCKED US version OnePlus 8 Pro (IN2025) Which is currently running Oxygen OS 11.IN11AA (Android 11 Official). I have successfully unlocked the bootloader and am ready to root with Magisk. I am at a loss because I dont know which Magisk to use or how to properly flash it. I have Magisk Manager 8.0.2 and have Magisk version 21.0
I have also downloaded the patched boot image from here... https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro/how-to/root-patched-boot-img-android-11-op8-t4174919
What am I doing wrong? Can someone please just give me a quick rundown... I am not new to rooting just haven't done in in over a year. Thank you!
Don't think your doing anything wrong, just need to get that image on your pc, and fastboot flash it to both a/b slots then reboot your phone and you should have root available
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot (name of image).img - Try this one first as it just allows you to see if the phone boots up fine, if it does reboot back into the bootloader and then do the following...
fastboot flash boot_a (name of image).img
fastboot flash boot_b (name of image).img
fastboot reboot
How do I get Magisk 21.0 to install through Magisk Manager?
You don't, that's why you've downloaded a patched img, that has been patched with magisk already, just need to flash it accordingly

This is what I am getting after following your directions to a T!
I also flashed to both partitions. Please see attachments. I sent 2 screenshots.
You don't do the install from magisk, have to copy the patched img to a pc where you have adb/fastboot installed then install from command prompt

I did not do the install through Magisk Manager I did the install via adb and fastboot in fastboot mode. It Said flash successful. But when I go into Magisk Manager after rebooting, nothing changes.
Doesn't work. Download the patched image, put it on the phone, use magisk canary manager to patch it again, transfer it off your phone, then boot into Fastboot and flash it.
It has to be patched in the phone it will be installed to otherwise it will not work.

Use the beta magisk.
Re-patch it in your newly updated magisk manager then flash to both slots..
Also verify the size of the file prior to flashing.. Mine was 96MB
Here is the exact size.
Problem uploading image
I am a little confused now... I uninstalled root for a few days and now have the second release of android 11... I am in fastboot mode doing fastboot flash boot... then the file name and all it says is waiting for device?? Any help??

What is the explanation as to why one needs to fastboot flash Magisk to both slots instead of using the following command:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot getvar current-slot
*in my case Slot B*
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot

You can, however flashing to both slots is seemingly easier.
Personally I wouldn't flash at all.
Just boot to avoid the possibility of a bad boot.

It's preferable.
There are some things to note.
1st. You are only booting it, meaning if you reboot; you will start using the installed / flashed image and the booted image will be lost.
2nd. For the above reason. If you want to make root permanent you have to open magisk after opening and then click install - install directly.
As magisk will already have root access, it will be able to accomplish patching, if you tried this whilst unrooted it would fail, or not be an option.
3rd. By booting you avoid the potential bootloop problems you can and almost will have at some point if you always flash, bad images are pretty rife for a number of reasons.
I've got a large guide for rooting in the guides section which covers all the bases and their shortcomings /benefits.

Custom Rom / rooting Options vor TB-125FU (Lenovo Tab M10 Plus 3rd Gen)

Hey everyone,
I've been looking for options to Install a custom Rom or root since I bought the Tablet several month ago. It seems like there are some options for the Full Hd Version, but I have a hard time finding anything useful for the 125FU. Are there any recommendations like compatible GSI roms or TWRP/magisk?
Thanks in advance for your help!
You should just be able to install matiek form my understanding
I need some information, too. Bootloader unlock is different. Device doesn't respond to bootloader commands with Minimal ADB Fastboot 1.4.3.

I just got an tb125fu
Bootloader unlock was no problem, maybe it works for you now with the latest versions?

The issue I had, and resolved, was the lack of the latest fastboot drivers. Gained root with Magisk successfully.

TWRP is convenient, but not absolutely necessary. Would like a Lineage rom though.

Agreed. I've been looking into compiling TWRP myself but this is all new to me. The only device with TWRP with this chipset is the Redmi 9. I've compared both boot.img's and they are both setup differently. If I had more knowledge ont he subject I could easily achieve this I believe.
If I have time I'll compare Gen 2 vs Gen 3 boot.img's, that may help understand the folder and file structure better.

What process did you use with magisk to gain root after bootloader unlock? was it as simple as installing magisk manager and flashing root through the manager?
Thanks

How did you obtain the boot.img to patch??? I cant find the stock firmware anywhere, and im not clear on pulling the stock boot.img (getting permission denied errors when attempting via adb)

Select and download your preferred rom. Then unzip the rom and in the unzipped folder select the boot.img file and use it.
With some devices and roms, under some circumstances, the vbmeta.img file can and should be used. If I can recall correctly, Magisk will specify.

Use this tool. Install and explore the file and folder structure it creates. Interrupt the process before it flashes your tablet for it will erase the files you need from your computer if you don't. Use trial and error here.
Since the original question was about root, Ill keep this going
I was able to download the most recent ROM from Lenovo rescue which was super simple, it downloads the ROM first and wont start the flash till you click the button. I did retrieve the stock boot.img, patched it, and flashed it, rebooted and had root. Heres where the many hours of fun started...I realized my wifi wasnt working (good sign something was messed up during flash). I realize the ROM downloaded from the Lenovo Rescue was newer then my old ROM. So I had flashed the newer boot.img over the old ROM (not good). I went back to Lenovo rescue to actually make use of the rescue and flash a full ROM. After completion I became stuck in fastboot mode. I could boot to recovery but not system and every restart or shutdown and restart would go straight to fastboot.
I did try to manually flash the ROM using what i thought was the right files and order (using flashinfo.txt as the order and MT6768_Android_scatter.txt for the partition names for each image). Everything flashed successfully, but upon reboot I was still stuck in fastboot mode. I tried everything I could think of and even ran the Lenovo Rescue a few times.
After many hours, I came across this command for fastboot..."fastboot set_active a" which finally allowed me to boot into system. I assume this tablet uses the A/B slot partitions, but I think they only make use of the A for boot? Thats my thought
So next is too try to patch the correct disc.img for my current rom (which is the latest from Lenovo Rescue) and flash again making sure to flash to the boot_a partition and hopefully everything goes like it should
Hopefully that command helps someone save many hours if they find themselves stuck in fastboot mode while rooting and/or flashing.

I'm trying to solve the fastboot issue but I can't find fastboot drivers for the tablet. Have any suggestions?

im assuming in device manager, you have a yellow exclamation by "Android"? you need the mediatek drivers.
Go here https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb
scroll down, dont make the misake of clicking on "Lenovo", you are clicking on the section labeled "MTK" download the zip, go to device manager and manually update the driver, once updated fastboot should work
at cmd run "fastboot devices" to make sure your device is recognized

Manually selecting the "Android Bootloader" driver fixed it. Thanks!
I just got my TB125FU to replace my 7-year-old Google Pixel C on its last legs.
Its Hardware ID is USB\VID_0E8D&PID_201C&REV_0100
I found a pack of Mediatek drivers here.
It's a bloated pack, so I extracted just the files needed for the TB125FU and attached to this post.
Once installed, my tablet appeared with a "fastboot devices" command.
I have also had good luck with the latest firmware for Motorola/Lenovo devices here.

just an fyi: thats not the most recent firmware, the lenovo rescue tool had the latest, which at the moment for my device a few days ago was TB125FU_S000118_220927_ROW
