Hidden Fastboot Commands and their Uses. If there isn’t any command that prints a list of available fastboot oem commands, then you’ll need to print a list of strings from the aboot.img and search for the oem commands manually. Some of the most commonly used “fastboot” commands include: flash – rewrites a partition with a binary image stored on the host computer erase – erases a specific partition.
I am trying to root my Xiaom mi a2 phone. But i am stuck on changing the active partition. When i enter 'fastboot set_active b' it doesnt execute the command. Instead i get a list off all available commands which doesnt contain an option to change the active partition.

I tried a lot of things, nothing worked until i came across this:minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool-for-windows
Now i was able to set the active partition and install the root. I got no errors and everything seemed fine but i still had no root access. I found this tutorial: guide-how-to-root-xiaomi-mi-a2-magisk and it worked for me.
