Bricked Moto G XT1032?

My phone is hard-bricked:
I have a Moto G XT1032 GPE Convert with 4.4.4, the phone out of the blue just rebooted and doens't pass from the ''Google'' screen.
Try with the MotoTool convert again to a GPE, these errors appear:

When the phone reboot, doesn't pass from the screen with the Google Logo.
I Try restore to stock firmware.
I try flashing CM11 through recovery but show up errors like: ''e:unable to mount ' /cache'', ''e:unable to mount ' /system'', ''e:unable to mount the internal storage'' and in the end a FAILED error in red.
I can acess to the Bootloader, the Recovery, not the system.
Dont think my phone is lost, I can acess the Bootloader so,.. but i dont know what to do anymore, can someone help me with some guidance to bring back the phone to life?
sorry my bad english.

You only tried do flash system? Haven't you flashed anything before system?

This is caused because you updated to 4.4.4 previously, and the partition table changed. When you tried to downgrade, the partition table didn't accept the old system image. Now you must wait for a 4.4.4 GPE image, that is the only thing that can unbrick your phone, since it will have the updated gpt.bin.

Well, good luck mate

I made a method to recover your phone for use! Sadly, you will only be able to use custom ROMs (at least until there's a 4.4.4 image)
Check it in my thread

S-off. As you can see its been awhile since I have messed with my phone so forgive me. I found something that had what I needed and was stable(until now) and stuck with it.
So I connected my phone to a friends charger and it wasnt charging and it died. I got it charged and booted it up and it ran fine for about 2 minutes then apps started stopping and it rebooted, it now does this over and over. I tried the battery reset. The last apps to crash are always google play services related so I tried to flash a gaaps zip in hboot.I tried uninstalling/deleting those apps, it still crashes. I tried to wipe and restore/install in twrp recovery(which it usually says is successful). Ive tried flashing RUUs in hboot they stop after the first reboot and boot normally instead of back to hboot. It wont connect to adb(I may have done something wrong there). But whatever I do it boots up exactly how it was before. If I delete/uninstall anything it comes back, if I add something anywhere other than the external sd it disappears.
Please help I cant afford a new phone right now.
Update: Without an sd card in the phone it wont reboot but all other things are the same, apps still crash, still cant do anything to recover.
Update: I tried another sd card and it prevents the reboot, but still wont flash anything in the bootloader.
Update: I formatted my sd card and it doesn't reboot with it in now, atleast not automatically, it reboots when certain apps are opened or randomly after a long period. Apps still crash and still no luck with any flashing or recovery. I tried clearing all app caches with titanium, no change.
I think the internal and system partitions may be corrupted and stuck as is after reboot, the weird thing is I can delete things or add things and the changes stay until reboot, then its back to its original state, is that possible?

Did you rename the RUU file to OP6BIMG.zip before placing it in sd card? And since you are s on u should use the RUU from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/official-ruu1-55-605-2-t2883845
And if u think there is a problem with partitions download a 4.4.x ruu flash it on ur phone then boot into recovery and reset all data in phone. Remember in stock recovery u need to press vol and mayb power at same time(just press dont hold them to long).
You can flash the recovery from bootloader also, but remember it should be 4.4.x

Im s-off usinf twrp 2.7 something. Ruu flash starts but at first reboot it just boots normally instead of back to the bootloader. I've flashed roms, ruus, nandroids, from both the bootloader and recovery nothing sticks. The phonereboots to identical to how it was dec6 no matter what I do, flashes, wipes, installs, deletions, everything goes back how it was after reboot.

So u keep the ruu or flash some ROM after that?
Have you tried different RUUs?
I also recommend flashing the firmware for whichever Android version you are using.
Try firmware from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development/wip-4-17-605-9-stock-resources-firmware-t3196906
Flash firmware after RUU flashing.
I recommend the latest ruu if you flash it u will not need to flash firmware.
In previous post I told you to reset your phone from stock recovery did you try that?

After flashing your file there is still the Huawei EMUI Bootloader and no TWRP. Bootloader was unlocked before. Fastboot was working fine.
Any idea?

Problem with Google GAPPS
Hi,
Thank you for your tuto and your ROM
I have bought my nova 2 in china.
Do you know how to install GAPPS. I have tried different version (stock, pico,.. ) but it's no use.
Do you know if I have to change the region first ?
Is it ok with your ROM ?
Regards

Perfect
Perfect, thank you!

Not working
Hello,
TWRP ist not working for me, I still have the EMUI bootloader after flash and reboot.
Boot into TWRP Recovery ("fastboot boot cofface_pic_al00_recovery_en.img") is aborted with:
"FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"
Is there anything I've done wrong?
Thx!

did it work with your Nova 2?

i have got a demo device ( from germany ). Can some one upload his OEM info for a normal device ?
And yeah... it works

Success
Works very well, Thanks !
But ... while playing with it I lost the stock ROM for my Huawei Nova 2.
Since there is no download source available, could anybody share a stock ROM backup so I could restore using Twrp ?
Thanks !

My Nova 2 (PIC-LX9C432) automatically encrypts the disk after the first run, and then TWRP is unable to read /data partition nor do nandroid backups as a result. Can someone guide on how to disable encryption or get TWRP to decrypt data.
I read elsewhere that newer versions of TWRP are able to decrypt if you set a password / screen lock.

WARNING!!!! DO NOT FLASH THIS RECOVERY
Ideally cofface should remove this thread as flashing this recovery causes harm and no good. This TWRP port does not detect nor decrypt encryption on the 'data' partition and hence you will not be able to root your device nor take a nandroid backup.
What's worse, you will loose your recovery partition and will not be able to flash any other stock Nova 2 firmware updates.
If you have not yet flashed recovery and have the stock, please do a backup of your stock recovery and upload for the benefit of those who have lost it because of this recovery. See this thread...

Perhaps you could get some tips from nova (1) thread there we had the same problems. But so long we have a working twrp with backup possibility.

Can I flash an encrypted device?

Hi,
I have a Galaxy Note 4, running on TWRP 2.8.5 and on OS 6.0.1. I am into a tricky issue as the device is encrypted, and I am unable to load to it, as upon booting into the OS it throws a tantrum about the device being encrypted. I'm unable to factory data reset it via the TWRP as well. The device is not rooted. Long story short, I dont care about the contents and I'm willing to flash to the OEM firmware. Will I be able to do this? The device is not carrier locked. Is there any pre-requisites to check?
Please advise, and many thanks.

I would flash the latest TWRP image, format all partitions and then flash the stock firmware or a new rom to get rid of the issue.

This actually helped. I was able to flash emotion rom, but I'm unable to flash the official samsung rom downloaded from sammobile. I downloaded the rom file twice, but it simply refuses to install, with the error "failed to map file" and "error installing zip file".

Hello,
Official Samsung ROMs are flashed using Odin, twrp only flashes image and zip files not tar files

bootloop in recovery after forced OTA update.

Hi,
I was running the latest stock Android 8 firmware for the op6 with magisk & twrp.
I delayed the firmware update since month then yesterday I was forced to update.
My phone reboot everything was fine. no twrp & no root anymore because of the update.
I booted in latest twrp (fastboot boot twrp.img....) then I flashed the twrp.zip. After reboot I flashed magisk.zip.
After the latest reboot phone stuck for ~30 sec at the warning message saying boot-loader unlock blablalbla. then the phone reboot again and put me in twrp.
What can I do from there ?
Thanks for you help.
Julian.

Do I need to use this method to start from scratch ?

I installed the last twrp on official website its not the one ?
I manage to boot the OS with a factory reset on twrp but I lost all my apps. only magisk app what installed. (because it was installed as a system app?)
I flashed the zip again and now it's everything is working but I can't install netflix... so it seems I'm not systemless :/
if you have any idea on how to make all the things right again it will be nice :good:

I'm still struggling with this A & B. last time I was on twrp it show me I was on B I think

you need to flash two times the full rom, flash rom flash twrp reboot to twrp, flash rom flash twrp, reboot to twrp flash magisk, reboot

two time like on A and on B ?
how to boot A to B or B to A ?

when you flash one time and reboot to recovery and flash the rom again,you flash the rom in two slots, you didn't need change slots

I had the same problem, boot loops after rooting the recent OTA update. after soem troubleshooting with TWRP and not really getting anywhere I accidentally wiped the phone (stuck in the Chinese menus, was a mistake). prolly for the best, working great after re-flashing the OTA.

Understood !
When I flash magisk for the last step do I need to swipe right "to allow modification"? if I want to be systemless?
