Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.
Fix 1: Use Official ADB Binaires
First and foremost, it is highly recommended that you use the latest and more importantly official ADB binaries provided by Google. There are already a plethora of ADB and Fastboot third-party tools, however, you should maintain social distancing from all of them and only stick with the offering from Google.
Fix 2: Install Android USB Drivers
USB Drivers are an integral part of the smartphone ecosystem. They are needed so that your PC is able to recognize the connected device. So go ahead, download, and install the android_win.inf drivers onto your Windows PC. If that doesn’t work out, then also consider installing the Android Bootloader Interface Drivers. Install both of them and then verify if they fix the (FAILED (Write to device failed (Invalid argument)) error.
Fix 3: Use Official USB cable | USB 2.0 Port
The next two fixes are evident from their names themselves. First off, it is recommended that you use the official USB cables that came shipped with your device. If that is not possible, then use a cable that supports MTP (file transfer).
Along the same lines, you should only use the USB 2.0 Port on your PC. Using the faster 3.0 ones is known to cause quite a lot of issues, especially in the custom development domain. So try out both these tweaks and see if they fix the (FAILED (Write to device failed (Invalid argument)) error.
