Hi hope this makes sense to you. X1032 Rooted on 4.4.4 with stock rom. Downloaded update for lollipop however once installing it goes to about 30% in and errors. Phone then boots back into normal phone 4.4.4 saying unsuccessful. Then five times my phone randomly restarts itself into the custom recovery and tries to install the stock update and gives the message shown in the attachments photo. Any reason for this?
Thanks
Try updating with stock recovery and without root. It should work with an unlocked bootloader too.
Thanks for your reply, as this is my first time reverting back to stock recovery and also how to un root the phone what is the best guide for me to follow as i dont want to mess it up. As i do it once ill always remember for future issues. You can probs tell the version of custom recovery via the screenshots.
Many Thanks
To get back to stock, download your phone's stock ROM, extract the recovery.img file and flash it using the fastboot commands "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without quotes.
There should be an option in the root app to remove itself and unroot the phone.
Thanks alot will do that and let you know how it went weather it works or not.
Thanks again
If you want to maximize the chance that you'll get the OTA update installed, flash all partitions in fastboot. Note that motoboot file may not flash if your phone has a newer bootloader installed.
Hi did what you said on previous post and still errors and boots back to normal phone. Custom recovery removed and unrooted. Unrooted using the supersu app and did full unroot, as for going back to stock recovery couldn't find a stock recovery for this build phone so used the new mototool v3.1 program to flash stock recovery back to kitkat.
Any suggestions?
What is your phone model? Carrier?
Xt1032 and 02 pay as you go
Try and find you ROM here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=filename&order=ASC&show=100&page=1 There are a few pages of ROMs for the Moto G.

Thanks for your input and support, looked at that link and couldnt find the file i need. This screenshot in attatchments is the phone currently. Based on the screenshot is the file on this link below the stock rom? (its post #348)
Thanks also how would i flash this rom onto the phone and re write the firmware?
Thanks
Actually that link isnt working which of these two should i download?
Title: Android 4.4.4 - Blur_Version.210.12.40.falcon_utms.Retail.en.GB (Retail UK) (XT1032)
Filename: XT1032_RETAIL-GB_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
Title: Android 4.4.4 - Blur_Version.210.12.40.falcon_utms.O2SL.en.GB (O2 UK) (XT1032)
Filename: XT1032_O2SL-GB_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_37_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
NOTE: the o2 sim card is pay as you go and the phone was origionally on EE as a one month rolling service but with it been unlocked when i passed the phone over to my mam to use she was able to put here o2 pay as you go sim in and carry on using the phone on her origional sim.
Thanks
It looks to me like either ROM would work as they are both for the xt1032 but I can't say for sure as I have no experience with f;ashing either ROM.
Im guessing that if i download the generic rom and their should be a guide on here for flashing it? Am iable to take a backup of the current rom installed incase things mess up?
You could use ADB commands to create a backup but it's not that easy to do in my opinion without a custom recovery.

It doesn't power on or it goes to a loop saying no command?
Try the following:
1. Plug it into the charger
2. Hold the VOL DOWN key
3. While still holding the VOL DOWN key, press and hold the POWER key
4. Hold both keys down for over 120 seconds. This is more than two minutes and will seem like a long time. You might want to time yourself to make sure you hold it longer than two minutes.
5. After holding the keys down for more than two minutes, release them.
6. The Flash Boot screen will display, and the Normal Reboot option will be highlighted
7. Press the VOL UP key and the device will start a normal reboot.
If you have tried the above and it didn't work, try this:
Plug in the phone for 15 minutes.
Proceed to Step 2 above.
Hi all
I have a XT1032 that I purchased from the Orange online store last year. I decided to give the official Lollipop update a go but I'm really not liking it. I want to revert back to either the stock 4.4.4 ROM or possibly a custom 4.4.4 ROM.
So far I've unlocked the bootloader on my device with no issues but I'm having some trouble flashing a custom recovery.
I've tried flashing the latest TWRP for MotoG (http://teamw.in/devices/motorolamotog2013.html) using fastboot but when I try to boot into the recovery the device just switches off. I also tried with the older TWRP 2.6.3.0 release for MotoG and have the same issue, as does CWT 6.0.47
Has anyone run into this issue before? Does anyone have any advice on how to solve the problem?
Try 2.8.1.0 TWRP when you in bootloader menu you must vol- to recovery and vol+ to enter recovery not power button

Thanks! I feel like a complete nub, I didn't read the bootloader screen properly or I'd have realized what I was doing wrong, I'm so used to every other device I've used (HTC, Samsung, SE) using power to select bootloader menu items
Hi,
My wife just got a new phone and gave up her old XT925 so I thought I would try to put CM or SlimKat on it and let my daughter play around with it. But I'm having trouble putting a custom recovery on it. I've unlocked the bootloader. I've used fastboot to write the recovery image...but when I try to reboot directly into recovery so the binary update can complete, it pauses for a couple of minutes and then reboots the OS normally. If I try entering reovery after that, I end up with the dead android with a red exclamation point in him and "no command" written below.
The phone currently has 4.4.2 and System 181.46.3.XT925.RCI.en.CA. Am I out of luck with this device and stuck on 4.4.2?
Thanks!

Its because you need to rename the stock recovery to .bak at the end of the file name. The stock recovery is getting in the way of you rebooting to TWRP or what ever custom recovery you are trying to use.
If you cant figure out how to do that or don't know where in system the stock recovery is just hit me up and ill give you the path to the file. After you rename the file just go back into fastboot and reflash the custom recovery and you should be able to reboot into TWRP or what ever custom recovery you want.
Hi, need some urgent help here.
I was trying to install a custom rom, so I unlocked first the bootloader, then flashed twrp 3.0.2 for Android 5.1 and with it I flashed KangVip rom (porto from honor 6).
Problem was it didn't boot, just black screen.
So I supposed the problem was with the rom so I flashed via fastboot the aosp 6, obviously with same results.
I tried lot of stuff (twrp 2.8.x.x, reinstall stock firmware, restore twrp backup of stock full firmware and so on - I did almost everything I could do) and now I'm with a Huge problem: no huawei logo at start, just a white screen and nothing happen. I have twrp 3.0.2 for 5.1 installed right now but I can't install stock recovery.
Please help me, what do I gotta do?
[emoji30]
the ported rom is based on Android 6.0 you have Android 5.1 youk should flash 5.1 based rom..
it's good to flash stock and update official to b560 or b571 depending on which region to have then flash twrp recovery and then flash desire rom..

Thx for this.
But I have a problem, I can't install stock recovery and if I try to flash the .img files extracted from update.app nothing happens.
Also, I still have that problem with huawei logo disappeared and a blank white screen instead.

boot into bootloader and flash stock recovery but if you know what exactly firmware was you have(bxxx) then no need to flash recovery just put update.app to your sd card and then force update three buttons combination (volume both and power) turn off it remove data cable then press these three buttons it'll go in recovery sometime but try two or three times(in recovery turn off device) and try again if that method not work you should flash stock recovery to do so and if it didn't go to bootloader(fastboot) then connect data cable and then press vol- and power it'll go to bootloader in bootloader flash stock recovery then force update your device....

Hope you can help me out here...I had just gotten my HAM7 for a couple of days. Was on 4.4.2 B120, was able to get it up to B326. Just yesterday I attempted to flash up to B331 and it succeeded according to the "local update" option. Then it went on boot loop. I tried doing the force 3-button option and that worked to the point of saying it succeeded and will reboot. Now I'm stuck on Ascend Mate logo. I can no longer get into factory option mode (V+Power), only fastboot mode. Also, I can't do force update no more so I can't try any other "update.app" unless I'm missing something here.
Any help in getting this unit at least back to working condition will be a BIG help. I just received this two days ago.
Thx!!!!

Yes, bootloader is unlocked. FYI, I can't do Vol+ Power or 3-button force. I have no idea what went wrong after the B331 update.app flash. It said successful then boot loop after. I have looked all over the forums and tried everything from flashing C900B300 rollback to try and get 4.4.2 that I started out with, but I really don't know which firmware to start with. The last update.app files I was using was the European variants. Phone was originally locked to Ecuador MoviStar network at B120SP04, then I flashed up to B324 5.1.1. Rooted and then wanted to upgrade to B331 so I unrooted and flashed. Now I'm stuck.

Thank you very much....hope that will solve the boot issue and bring this unit back to life
Alright, so I've given up complete hope that I can get my unit back up and running again. I've tried so many ways already with no success (fastboot/adb, force upgrade, etc.,), and even tried to copy my second HAM7 images (via sdk tools) and to no avail.
The thing I'm trying to understand is where exactly do I start with trying to revive? When I first got this device from eBay, it was apparently still on "MoviStar" Telefonica-Spain network so my network bars showed "R" for roaming. Somehow, I was able to flash it from being on V100R001C00B120SP04a and upgrade to B127>B145>B324 which made me able to use my own service normally. It worked fine and I was even able to root it. Decided to do a last upgrade to B331 and while the local update option showed it as successfully installed, it went into boot loop ever since. Hence, I used European firmwares for most of the flashing. My second mate was on B145 and I was able to get that to B331, which is running fine right now.
ATM, I am ONLY able to do Volume-/Power to get into fastboot.
Doesn't work:
- V+/Power (stock recovery)
- V-+/Power (3-button force)
What works:
- V-/Power with USB for fastboot
*Bootloader is unlocked, but I do believe that after flashing the last firmware of B331, I may have done a factory wipe, which probably reset the USB debugging option as well. So, I'm sure I'm stuck with a device that just might be flashed on the wrong firmware and is factory reset which prevents me from flashing a custom rom or even the stock rom???
Any last advice I would be so thankful for...still waiting on the link for KangVip rom from (fazi2015)
All the best...

Okay, so final result is I'm stuck on a frozen logo now. The twrp bat file again showed success in flashing and rebooted the device, but I'm hung on the "Huawei Ascend" logo. I have to pull the battery to shut it off, otherwise it stays on. So I'm now sure that it's a hard bricked device since I did the stupid thing of factory resetting which probably reset the usb debug...making it almost impossible to flash any firmware now.
Thanks for the help anyways...I really appreciate it. Gonna throw this up on eBay and see if anyone wants it for parts

fastboot flash recovery twrp_2_7.img
after that type
fastboot reboot and hold the volume- button of device it'll boot into recovery if you success then reply..
I've noticed two things when flashing KK or LP. On KK, the phone does a constant boot loop with Huawei logo (on off on off), but on LP the Huawei logo hangs...it doesn't boot loop. Is this an indication or just a fault with both OS?
does anyone know how to fix this issue im having.i was on android 6.0 when trying to boot into twrp recovery would only have a black screen,only once in a blue moon it will boot into twrp regular.i updated to 7.0 thought it might fix the issue but it is the same .ive tried all the twrp versions through adb,but when booting into twrp just presented a black screen,ive tried factory reset,reflash firmware,still the same.The only way to get to twrp normal is to adb (fastboot/boot/twrp.img/,on my computer
You're doing MUCH better than i am. After loading twrp & making a backup, it appears the bootloader corupted when i tested it with the restore. Now, if i try & reboot, all it does is vibrate. If it's pluged in while rebooting, it'll vibrate & the red led blinks. In other words, hard bricked. I got 2 disney tickets offered to anyone who can un-hardbrick it. I've un bricked several Samsung's, but the Zp3ultra has me stumped. If i were you, i'd try reloading the original OS.

Hey funny you should say that. I'm actually on my second Asus 3 ultra. The same thing happened to my first one got stuck during a firmware update, or corrupted firmware zip.,now the phone won't boot to twrp or bootloader, just vibrates like yours. If I plug the charging cord in vibrates then just get those red led notification light blinks,computer won't even recognize the device so can't flash the bootloader back to the phone to fix, so I guess it's hard bricked paperweight. I only had it for about a week before the brick, had to buy a new one. The thing that's funny to me the first one would boot to twrp no problem, now this new one seems to boot to twrp but just presented a black screen, it's in twrp recovery because you can feel the vibrations for the buttons, just can't see the screen. I would love to be able to fix the bricked one it's brand new, and can't send for warranty because I'm in the US, sucks.
If you have the address for the foreign country's location of manufacturing, you can send it in for repairs. That's what we are working on doing. The horrible thing is, after reading about stories of other customers, Asus really rakes you over the coals price wise for the repair, & then does similarly for return shipping. So we are still trying to find a way around the high shipping prices, at least.

i think the mistake people may be making is flashing stock rom through twrp
twrp only for supersu zip and other things imo
stock rom just flash through the stock recovery apply update from sd (microsd card) need to make sure the recovery and rom match
can you get to stock recovery? also charge it first to a good 80 to 90 if not 100 percent

After you get that black screen, just press once the power button to close and then press it again to open, just like you do when you normally close and open the screen. You will see after that the twrp interface.

read your post again...noticed...
one thing-if you were on ww-14 i.e. android nougat then cannot simply flash the ww 13 marshmallow as I believe the bootloader is different - think that is why the flash did not work (know this from other zenfone forums where you cannot simply downgrade by flashing a previous android level rom) if it was not a case of downgrading then maybe because of using twrp for stock rom instead of the update process using stock recovery
I tried to flash ww 13 when on ww 14 through stock recovery and it was giving me an error (saying version is not ww which was not the case anyway)-found out through other forums that it is because one cannot downgrade in that manner - therefore I think cause of flash error is the bootloader version. For downgrading one needs the raw file. I found raw file for our ultra (WW13 level) at a Vietnamese site and the flashing tool but have not tried it (no reason to) but am keeping it just in case.
you can get stock recovery from here (note the ww 13 or ww 14 types pick the right one)

flash it through fastboot
need to have fastboot drivers installed
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
or
https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool
make sure path variable has fastboot folder in it in environment variables of computer
preferably have recovery image in that folder too so you don't have to type some long path names
power off
volume up press and hold then press power
get to bootloader fastboot mode
connect by usb
open command prompt window in folder where fastboot installed
check fastboot devices to verify phone is seen
filename.img = filename of the twrp.img
twrp flash recovery filename.img
if successful then
twrp boot filename.img
may have to press power or volume up to get to the screen
while in stock recovery better to do factory reset too before update
then apply update from sd card
btw I have successfully used the twrp march version 3.2.1 (also at the above mega link) with the latest stock ww 14 (from jan 8 2018) backed up restored successfully, rooted, and have xposed as well
a note on twrp restore if ever having to (just don't check system image restore in twrp when restoring)
