fastboot - I am getting an unknown file transfer error (Flashing TWRP)


I am trying to flash twrp onto my unlocked Moto G4 Play so I can install a new version of Android but, I keep on getting this error. I have recently factory reset my phone and I am not sure if it is related.


C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
sending 'recovery' (8296 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))

finished. total time: 5.013s

Any suggestions?



Answer



The FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error)) error can happen for a few reason. It happens when there is issues with communication transferring data. To trouble shoot the cause start by:



  • Trying different usb ports

  • Trying different usb cables

  • Update fastboot.exe

  • Download another .img file and verify the md5.


  • Double check the Bootloader is unlock
