Fastboot ROMs come with a .tgz file extension and require a Windows computer for the installation with MiFlash tool, as well as a phone with an unlocked bootloader. However, despite being comparatively more complicated to install than Recovery ROMs, Fastboot ROMs are sometimes the only way to boot into a working system. For instructions on unlocking the bootloader of your phone, check your device's subforums on XDA. You can perform the flashing process using the Fastboot binary itself, in which case the Fastboot ROM can be used on Windows, Linux, as well as on macOS.

Big thanks to Xiaomi for starting the development on Mi Flash Pro, this is a revolution in modifying, flashing and bootloader unlocking. In addition Mi Flash Pro is a universal tool for both MTK and Qualcomm devices. Comes with inbuilt SP FlashTool and Mi Flash software.
And whenever there is flashing takes place, you need to have an unlocked bootloader. Moreover, these tools could also be used in custom development. So you could use these tools to fix bootloop or soft-bricked devices. To try it out, you could refer to our guides corresponding to your devices:

Unlocking your bootloader is not for the faint of heart. Unlocking your device and installing your own software might cause the device to stop working, disable important features and functionality, and even make the device unsafe to the point of causing you harm. Neither Motorola, nor your wireless carrier or retailer from whom you purchased the device, will be responsible for such damage, so please do not unlock or load any software unless you know what you are doing.
You have only yourself to blame. Once you get the unlock code, your device is no longer covered by the Motorola warranty; in other words, please don't blame us if things go wrong, even if they appear unrelated to unlocking the bootloader.
The law still applies. You still need to operate your device in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations prescribed by the FCC, and any other governmental agency for that matter.
And now a word from our lawyers. Finally, in order to unlock your device, you need to agree to important legal terms , which can be found on the next page. Agreeing creates a binding legal agreement, so be sure to read them carefully.

A Nandroid backup is a full system backup created in the recovery. You should create one every time you flash a new ROM or install any kind of mod. It's the first tool you should use if you ever need to unbrick your phone.

First of all, I would suggest you to install a fresh copy ofWindows NT 4.0 on your hard disk. I suppose that you alreadymade a backup of your important data, so the NT installationshouldn't be a problem. During the NT installation, setup isnot going to ask you where to place NT's boot loader, so itwould be placed into the MBR (Master Boot Record) of your harddisk. But, there is a possibility for a previous content ofthe MBR to remain within the MBR (especially any previousLilo), so I would suggest you (before installation of NT) toboot the computer with a DOS floppy diskette having DOS versionof FDISK. At the prompt a:\ just enter the command: fdisk /mbr and restart the computer again (without that floppy).
After you have successfully installed your NT, you will see thatit uses the whole hard disk or a specific partition of the harddisk (depending on what you decided during the setup process).So, it is advisable to 'shrink' the partition where NT residesin order to make some free space on the disk. Onto that free spaceyou will install your Linux. After you have your NT configuredand running, you have to boot your computer using a floppydiskette with Partition Magic utility by Power Quest. It is agraphical tool able to see all partitions on all hard disks youhave. The best thing is that you can make some changes with yourpartitions but not to destroy your existing data. One of theavailable changes is to make your existing partition(s) smaller,so to get some free space on the disk(s) for other purposes.Although you are advised to make a backup before you make anychanges to the partitions, I usually practice to 'shrink' NT'spartition(s) before I install anything else onto this NT (so, ifneeded, a repetitive NT re-installation wouldn't be a problem).Well, Partition Magic (or any other similar utility you arefamiliar with) will shrink your NT's partition (either NTFS orFAT) to a smaller measure and place it to either the beginningor to the end of the previous measure. It means that you maychoose to have your 'shrinked' NT partition at the beginningor at the end of your disk (I usually choose NT to be at thebeginning, so the ending part of the disk will become a 'freespace'). After the 'shrinking' is finished, you may re-boot yourNT in order to check the new situation: you may use WindowsExplorer or Disk Administrator for that.
As it was said in Introduction, it might not be neededalways to use such tools like Partition Magic. It is better to say that this tool is of a great value in all those cases you have beenrunning Windows NT for a long time, so you don't want to startfrom 'scratch'. For example, you are fully satisfied with yourbeloved NT and related applications. You are not likely to killNT, but you have recognized that you have enough unused space on NT's partition(s) (i.e. NT's partition(s) might look not much populated). That case, Partition Magic is your choice.But, if you do start from the beginning, or you don't mindre-formatting the disk, it might be suitable to get a blankfloppy diskette, make it to be DOS bootable and copy two DOStools on it: FDISK and FORMAT. So, restart your computer withsuch floppy and at A:\ prompt enter fdisk.There you'll find several options that allow re-partition ofyour hard disk(s). Now you could make a part of the disk a FATpartition (where you'll later install your beloved NT). The restof space you'd better leave alone (i.e. do not attempt making Linux partition(s) right now, using DOS's version of FDISK). Ifyou really want to make Linux-type partitions now, youshould look after Linux version of FDISK.
So far so good. Next step is to install your Linux. Case you are familiar with RedHat distribution (I hope with other distrosis the same or similar), you start by putting your installationCD in the drive and re-boot the computer). Well, when you are aboutto choose what type of installation it will be (Gnome or KDE Workstation, Custom, etc.) you may choose whatever you plannedbefore, but I would suggest to install a Workstation at first.This is good because Linux setup will find automatically thefree space on the (first) hard disk, make all partitions neededfor Linux, format them properly, make majority of options bydefault so you won't have much pain during the setup (later, if you want, you may either add missing components or re-install RedHat Linux as Custom over the existing linux partitions). Lilo should go to the MBR.
Don't forget to make Linux boot floppy diskette. You'll neverknow when you may need it. If something goes wrong with the MBR, and you don't have boot floppy, your Linux might become not accessible,so you might have to re-install it again.
After it looks that Linux installation is finished, you are goingto re-start the computer and there you will only see Lilowith only one entry to boot: Linux (or maybe more than one Linuxentry, in case your hardware is multi-processor one or so). But, don'tpanic! Your Windows NT is still there - where you had installed itbefore Linux. You should become some familiar with Linux as soonas possible, in order to be able to find and edit your new/etc/lilo.conf file. When you open this file for the first time,you'll see that there is only one (or more) Linux entry. Well,you should know the exact position (read: a partition) whereWindows NT has been installed, so you could add an appropriateentry into /etc/lilo.conf file. After you make those changes, restart Lilo with a command: /sbin/lilo and, after the next re-boot, you will have both 'linux' and 'nt' (or 'dos' or similar)entries under Lilo menu.
My added NT entry is: other=/dev/hda1 label=nt 2ff7e9595c
