Question How to fix fastboot: error: ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT not set ?

[mura20]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to flash the vbmeta e GSI ROMs on my tablet TB128FU but I am receiving an error message on fastboot.
For instance, if I try:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta (location of the vbmeta file)

I get the message:
fastboot: error: ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT not set

How do I fix this error??

Thank you!

the environment variable ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT should be set to the directory containing the binary images.

You need to type the following on a CMD prompt (Windows)
set ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT = c:/(location of the folder in which you have platform tools installed)


I hope it's understandable. Good luck!

I'm not quite sure I understand what this means. Mind explaining a bit more.

He means, that you gotta open your terminal (cmd, powershell, etc.) on the directory (folder) where you saved your file (or at least be in the same folder)...

Go where your file is, shift + right clic on it and you should see an option that says open in terminal

This issue was likely caused by Google replacing the working platform-tools 34.0.1 release with a broken one. Use 33.0.3 for the time being. Thanks Strcat for helping me.

this is the best solution, I spent hours trying to fix the same problem and nothing worked, I changed the version as you said and it worked immediately. here is the link where I find version 33.0.3 and others. https://androidsdkmanager.azurewebsites.net/Platformtools
