Hello,
I have rooted my Xoom 2 ME and installed Safestrap 3.12 as explained here.
Apparently something went wrong after I tried to restore a backup to the Stock ROM Slot. I now have the Blue (instead of Red) Motorola Logo when I boot, followed by error messages telling me the "UI System" and "Configure" Applications have stopped.
Trying to solve the problem, I did a factory reset from the Stock Recovery Boot and now I see that I have lost all my Safestrap Backups and Slots.
So I have no backups to restore and no other Slots than the Stock ROM, which I cannot boot.
What are my options ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
A quick update on this
I'm having help form runandhide05 who is amazingly kind with me, answering all my questions in PM.
I have a Wi-Fi only 8.2 Xoom 2 bought in France so I have flashed this ROM : 0.268.4.MZ607.Retail.en.FR.
I could boot but when I tried to update OTA it failed. It downloads, start updating and fails so I am stuck in 3.2.2.
Also whenever I reach the page of an application in the Android Market, the Android Market quits.
Finally adb doesn't see my device.
I've tried flashing another ROM with the same result : 0.281.8.MZ607.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU
All this is very new to me, I feel like I have learned a lot in 24 ours but I really have no idea were to go to solve this and feel like I am asking a lot to runandhide05 at the moment so if anyone as "qualified" as him had any idea to help it would be amazing.
… again runandhide05, thank you so much for all your help so far.
Problem solved !
The update succeeded when done via the "Motorola Device Manager" on PC.
After that I could use Google Play without it to quit and adb saw my device again.
I re-rooted and re-installed Safestrap with no troubles.

Hey fellows.
So I wanted to try a custom ROM for my SNS, so I rooted it with this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwe4sWH67dk
And since I'm completly green in all this root thing, I didnt manage to get a custom ROM on my device. So I just stayed with stock android and a launcher, and to be fair, I dont need any more than that.
Then the 2.3.6 OTA update came and I wanted to install that, so I hit "Install" and my phone rebooted. Come to the Google logo with the padlock on the button... and frooze (have to remove battery to restart my phone). Nothing I have done can help it, I tryed factory reset, nothing (get stuck on the same screen again)!
So I looked around the SNS topics in here, and frankly, I can't fix it! I read that locking the bootloader would probably help it. So I installed drivers for my device on my computer, and tryed to use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875630 since it seemed fairly easy. But I cant make it work.
My phone version number is GRJ22 and my phone lock state is unlocked.
WHAT DO I DO? Remember, I'm completly green, so cut it into small pieces would be nice!
Hope that there is some helpfull sole out there that can help

I had a similar issue some time ago and I think I can help you. In my case, I had removed some system apps. I removed books and talk, and it couldn't update because the recovery didn't find these apps to update them. Also, if you don't have the stock recovery, but clockwork instead I think it will not work. You can find in the General section of this Nexus S forum links with the official updates zips. Download one of these and then flash it in recovery(stock or clockwork). Copy the zip to the USB storage and in recovery select 'flash update from usb storage' and select the downloaded zip. Personally, I downloaded the GRJ22 and flashed it, so I can have a clean and upgradeable GRJ22. Then I updated using the incorporated update tool from google OTA to GRK39F. It is better to do a factory reset before you flash the zip with the rom. Sorry for the messy explanation hope this helps. GL
Hmm, I downloaded the GRJ22 fitting me device from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664, placed it on the SDcard and tryed to go to recovery in fastboot, then the same thing happend again :/ (If that was what you meant)
I installed ClockworkMod Recovery through ROM Manager, then I installed the downloaded file on my device. Now I'm running 2.3.6 :O Thanks for the help dude!
Phone: Motorola Moto G XT1032
OS: Android 4.4.4
Let me start by saying that I am new here, and I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask for help, but here I go anyway...
I am in desperate need of assistance. Against all better judgment, I rooted my phone a few months ago and now I am in a "pickle" so to speak. I recently recieved the Android 5.0.2 OTA Update notification. I have attempted multiple times to install this update but each and every time I do so, it returns me (after rebooting) a message along the lines of "software update was unsuccessful". I have sifted through some posts online with no avail. I am not the best person when it comes to my phone, however I do know how to get around on a computer.
I guess I should also add that I read somewhere that the phone must be un-rooted before attempting to upgrade, however, I have alrady attempted to do so with the "Full Unroot" option in SuperSu, but the only thing that seemed to have happened is the app is now deleted.
Another thing, I only rooted my phone and did not install any of the recovery programs like CWM or TWRP. This is stock android and no Custom ROM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have been waiting for Andoid L for a very long time and am very upset that I am having all these issues trying to use it.
Thank you for listening and look forward to seeing if anyone can help me.

What you may try to want to do is to find the factory stock image online for which ever version you have and run it then upgrade to each new version till you get to lollipop update. Yes you will lose all of your data but if lollipop is what you want that is probably what your gonna have to do. Every time a factory update is available on Motorola before it does the update it will check for every app and checks file system and recovery. Anything out of the ordinary and it will usually not upgrade it. So if I was you look for the stock factory image of 4.4.4 and update to lollipop 5.0.2.
Alternatively flash a custom recovery, TWRP or Philz Touch, and then do a factory reset and flash one of the zips in this collection:

Less risk and you keep your photos etc.
Hi guys, my first post on here so hopefully this is in the correct forum!
Okay, so I've decided to flash a custom ROM (candy5 version 1.5.1) on to my HTC One XL (code name: Evita)
Being new to this, I had to unlock Bootloader on my phone and flash Clockwork Mod. I followed some steps on YouTube and everything was working perfectly up to this point. (One thing that might've been wrong now that I look back was that my Bootloader had ***TAMPERED*** on top of ***UNLOCKED***)
Not knowing that that might have been a problem, I went ahead and installed Candy5 version 1.5.1 (an unofficial build of Cyanogenmod 12) and Google Apps 5.x.x onto my phone. This was when the problems arose with both of them having "installation aborted" messages.
I decided to go on regardless and flashed boot.img from my PC using Command Prompt. It came up with two "OKAY" messages so I thought everything was alright. So then I rebooted my phone, and surprise surprise, it didn't work.
So I decided to do a bit of detective work and because I am a noob at this stuff, I clicked on Factory Reset on Bootloader and I wiped my whole phone.
That deleted my backup on Recovery and I now cannot access any files on my SD card as it comes up with the message "E: can't mount /SD card." I also cannot access my phone to make any phone calls etc. as I only have access Bootloader and Recovery and I cannot connect my phone to my PC.
So as you can see, I am in a bit of strife here and I now have a very expensive paperweight...
Any advice to, first of all, make my phone usable would be much appreciated. Furthermore, any information to make my phone run Andoid Lollipop 5.0.2 using a custom ROM would be awesome too!
Thanks in advance for all your replies!
Alright so I have a 2013 Moto G, and basically in the past while on KitKat I've rooted my phone, given it custom recovery (TWRP), and messed around with the ROM (changed it to CM, PA and a few others and back). Now I've come to update to Lollipop and of course I need stock recovery to update my phone via OTA, and when it first prompted me to update, I had TWRP and I didn't really think, I just updated, this sent my phone into a bootloop, rebooting straight into TWRP every time I turned my phone on. Luckily I had a backup and I just restored to that and that fixed it. Recently I've been trying to fix the correct stock recovery for my phone so I can update, and I found some MotoTool AIO thing, and that changed my recovery back to KitKat stock (or so it says), now when I go into recovery it LOOKS like stock, can do everything you could normally do with stock recovery, but when I came to update it, about a quarter of the way though the update process, it errors and reboots my phone. Luckily this time my phone recognizes it has errored and just cancels the update instead of sending me into a boorloop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Tom.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. To update to 5.x you need to be 100% stock. That means no custom recovery, no root,etc. It would be best to ask your question here,http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help where the experts on your device reside. And you may need this,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
Good luck!
