xt1650-03 boot loop issue can adb not finding file

[jbabb]

have 1650-03 did data reset for bootloop issue now soft bricked trying to sideload official rom but adb giving error of \Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot> .\adb devices
List of devices attached
serialno## sideload

PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot> .\adb sideload xt1650-03.xml
adb: failed to stat file xt1650-03.xml: No such file or directory
PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>

File is in minimal adb and fastboot directory I renamed for shorter typing but have done copy\ paste for both filenames. I have read/tried lots of other threads and haven't fond resolution

why not use fastboot?

why not use fastboot?

using fastboot returns a <waiting for any device> with adb I am at least getting my device recognized. realize I may be typing command incorrectly
PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot> .\adb reboot fastboot
error: closed
PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot> .\adb reboot bootloader
error: closed
PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot> .\fastboot reboot
< waiting for any device >
and then my device times out waiting for a package
Also my limited reading indicates that if I want to flash full rom sideload was the easier way compared to fastboot?
It also seems to me that if both adb and fastboot are in same directory tree then if adb wont recognize the file for transmit neither will fastboot correct?

Try this, power off the phone, later turn on with the volume - key press, if all go ok, you will are in a screen that said the info of you phone, connect the phone to your PC and try the command in cmd, fastboot device, if recognized you can use it, if not I think can be a drivers problem

i insist, try to enter the bootloader mode with the phone off and without being connected to the computer, if the phone starts in this mode, you can boot into TWRP with the command fastboot boot twrp.img by pc, if boot correctly you can flash some rom , if possible, based on oreo

 

[saifprvz]

install and try to connect your device with Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant... I hope that will work for you. from Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant also u can install the Stock Rom.

I did try your suggestion of Lenovo moto smart assistant but it doesn't support my model actuall model is xt1650-03-SS . I have flashed stock rom GRIFFIN_OPL27.76-51_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml (7-11-2018) using ADB FASTBOOT but I am still in boot loop-- this is why am trying to get a TWRP to boot. Have also tried using RsdLITE but that was failing on packet 3/34 when I finally found a ROM that is would decompress.

I assume The Problem here is you are not getting the right Rom which works on your phone. so in that case ... try both below Roms -

So since I can get ROMs to load( loaded GRIFFIN_OPLS27.76-51-5_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml) to my phone but I am still having bootloop issue maybe I am missing something when flashing. This is the command list I have been using

scripts are correct... as i told u before, the roms which you are trying to install on your phone are not for the model which you have it.

I understand that but even the two that you posted links for in your earlier post didn't work although I do thank you for giving them to me so I could try them. In desperation I requested the bootloader unlock code for my device so I could try and ROOT but the code I received is not unlocking my boot loader and yes I know it is case sensitive (using copy paste)
