Hi, yesterday I tried to flash a factory image to start fresh and the power went out mid flashing. Now the phone is stuck at bootloader.
I already tried multiple computers and cables, also have lastest platform tools and the phone is unlocked using fastboot flashing unlock and fastboot flashing unlock_critical.
Trying to flash factory image outputs this:
Code:
Sending 'bootloader' (36356 KB)                    FAILED (Write to device failed (Invalid argument))
fastboot: error: Command failed

Press any key to exit...
Trying to flash bootloader using
Code:
fastboot --slot a --force flash bootloader bootloader-taimen-tmz30m.img
outputs
Code:
fastboot: error: Device does not support slots
.
Also recovery doesn't work, not even booting the .img using fastboot boot twrp.img

Nevermind, just tried another cable I found and it worked :). I don't know how to change the title thought.

Just report your thread to the moderator team designated to your area, which I am not, and have them change the thread title to what you want. Glad you figured out your problem :good::laugh:
