[Please help] Unable to flash boot image
"INFO: LOCK FLAG IS : UNLOCK!!!
WARNING: LOCK FLAG IS : UNLOCK, SKIP VERIFY!!!"
(19-05-2020, 04:02 PM)AshLFC_01 I have been trying to flash a patched boot image file (to install Magisk) using the fastboot command. My bootloader is unlocked.
But when I enter the command, it just doesn't write the image. It's blank until I remove the USB connection, and then it gives the following error: FAILED (Status read failed (Too many links)).
I've tried different USB cables, and also a different device, to no avail.
I'm not sure if it is worth mentioning, but when I boot up the device, a warning message shows up at the top:
Code:"INFO: LOCK FLAG IS : UNLOCK!!!
WARNING: LOCK FLAG IS : UNLOCK, SKIP VERIFY!!!"
What does skip verify here mean?
(20-05-2020, 09:55 AM)X3non download and use latest adb & fastboot binaries from within platform tools @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-17104.htmlNo luck there :-( The problem still exists.
bootloader is unlocked, so verifying boot and recovery partitions is skipped

(30-05-2020, 09:25 AM)hovatek Just as I suspected. Try flashing recovery.img or boot.img from your stock rom (extracted pac file) via fastboot.Yup, it successfully flashed the original boot image without any problem.
Lets know if that flashes fine

(Ignore the first two attachment, I can't seem to remove them even after clicking the remove button -_- Would be nice if an admin was able to remove it)
(01-06-2020, 10:25 AM)X3non quick questions, how did you unlock the bootloader? and does your device have a vbmeta partition? you can check if your pac file contains vbmeta,imgI had to unlock the bootloader using identifier token (this method): https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-32287.html
