Make sure you've install fastboot drivers: https://s3.amazonaws.com/cheryl-fac...stall_Android_Fastboot_Drivers_on_Windows.pdf

Other than that, I have no suggestions.

Tried it with a USB 2,0 hub same issue. I am trying this all in my Surface bc thats all I have at work could that be the issue?

Ok try doing fastboot devices in a cmd or powershell window inside the folder and make sure that the phone is detected. you should see the serial number.

If you get the serial number but the flash all.bat doesnt work, follow these instructions.

1. look up "environment variables" in your start menu.
2. click on "Edit the system environment variables"
3. click on environment variables at the bottom of the window
4. on the system variables category, double click on the "path" variable.
5. click on new, then click browse.
6. navigate to your platform tools folder and press ok on everything.

now it should work.

you didnt extract the file. extract it with 7zip or winrar so then you get a .img file not a .xz file.

they dont download as a zip file

 

[Marcos8760]

you can extract an xz file with 7zip or winrar. it doesnt need to be a zip file to be extractable.

Im getting an error that the device isnt Play Protect Certified

 

[Marcos8760]

Im getting an error that the device isnt Play Protect Certified

run these here commands in your terminal of choice

adb root

adb shell

sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db "select * from main where name = \"android_id\";"

you might somehow need to get into your settings to enable rooted debugging

after you get that string of numbers, put it in here

run all these commands while fully booted

First and foremost try formatting data. So you can do this in TWRP where you confirm it by typing "yes", or you can use fastboot and type in "fastboot format userdata"
I assume you tried this already and it didn't work, so the next step is..

Boot into TWRP and swipe to allow modifications, click on wipe, then advanced wipe. Next check ONLY System and then click on "change or repair file system".
Once again click Change File System, and select ext 4 and swipe to change it. Reboot into TWRP again and you should be able to mount it. Do the same steps for data and you should be able to mount that aswell.
