[Q] system formatted no rom. need help - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was trying to install pa. Formatted system. And now when i try to sideload pa twrp gets stuck on starting adb sideload feature.

I am certain you have a back up you can use right? If not you may need to flash a different recovery and try side load again
sent from my lady's MOTO G

Unfortunately i dnt hav a backup. Even if i did i wouldnt b able to get it on to the phone as sideload isnt working

Flash stock rom maybe, with fastboot
Sent from my XT1032 using xda app-developers app

you can download another rom and flash it
or the stock rom
the good thing here is that you have sideload feature

sideload isnt working i tried cwm and twrp. it says error : deivce not found. i have the drivers installed. how to i flash stock using fastboot?

Could be.. dude if your on stock you have to lock your bootloader again to do the official HTC updates ... U do this by connecting your phone to the pc in fastboot and in cmd type
Fastboot OEM lock

You should be using stock recovery and not clockworkmod. So flash stock recovery and you need to lock your bootloader.
This tool has the option to flash recovery, at least that is what I used.

My Hasoon's All in one tool, has that option. Also you can search the web for that tool app. I tried to upload stock recovery, but looks like it exeeds the limit of 8 MB. Give me your email, I will send it to you.

Please consider putting this up on fileshare site ..
I also have the Hasoon tool and in newest version you can only flash stock recovery if you have it yourself, it is not included.
Have been looking for the stock recovery myself but failed to find it.

Fantastic.
I flashed this recovery using the tool and rebooted the phone.
Then i installed the OTA update (No need to relock bootloader)
Then i reinstalled CWM and SuperSU .
Now my phone is at 2.31 and rooted.
Sweet that i dont have to listen to the SMS tone over and over again just informing me that there is a firmware update available.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

I have the same issue right now. My only concern is when you locked the bootloader did you lose your data? It's my gf phone and when I unlocked the bootloader it wiped data from the phone and she got really mad

Please help.. Softbricked nexus 5

Guys please help. A friend has soft bricked his nexus 5. He wiped everything and can't flash any rom using twrp as there is no rom file in the phone. We don't know how to move the cyanogenmod rom.zip on the phone. Adb push through fastboot doesn't seem to work, and when we use the adb sideload from twrp, the rom is moved on phone but not automatically installed. What are we doing wrong? Appreciate your help.
P.s. We have access to fastboot and recovery obviously, but phone has no rom to boot and gets stuck in Google screen.

I have had problems with adb push using TWRP from a long time (before my nexus as well). Try using PhilzTouch and use the adb commands to sideload or push the zip. I'm sure it will work.
PhilzTouch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565174
Besides that, you could even try using a OTG cable to transfer the ROM in recovery

Yes, probably it was just a bad download. Always confirm the md5 before flashing. Make sure you're downloading the correct cm zip for hammerhead!

You're using the latest TWRP? Try Philz Touch recovery (Download link in previous posts). No idea what's the supersu error you're getting.
Wipe everything... Factory reset/cache/dalvic and then flash the rom zip (Although it has nothing to do with the error)...

What he points you to is to return to stock and start over again unlocking and flashing. recovery. It is recommended, but the problem could be just twrp as well as the very Rom you are installing. Try another recovery, another Rom. If not luck, then return to stock

[Q] Help!!!

So yesterday I made a really dumb decision by using the TWRP Theme Manager on XDA to use a theme, even though I had TWRP 2.6 instead of 2.7. I tried to reboot, but it was in a bootloop. I got back to the recovery and wiped everything, then flashed my ROM, but it's still in bootloop. I tried flashing CWM with fastboot, but my phone is not recognized. Can anyone help me, please? I want to flash the stock firmware, but I don't know which one is correct. I have XT1032. Thanks.

Update your recovery,twrp2.6 is no good for kitkat roms. You can flash an updated recovery in your recovery.

[Q] Backup won't restore.

So I installed the lateat CM12 nightly, wasn't really impressed yet and went to go restore my backup and once it's done restoring, it get stuck at the bootscreen animation. Just keeps going and going abs going. I used the latest cwm touch recovery as CM12 is not compatible with MultiROM. I would just flash the factory img back but my computer decided to it doesn't ever want to recognize adb avid fastboot on Linux.
Anyone know where I can find a flashable zip for the factory 5.0.1 ROM? Any help would be appreciated!
Try googling Nexus 5 factory image...
Here's a flashable 5.0 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...-android-4-4-3-ktu84m-rooted-busybox-t2557523

Now I'm assuming I'd have to unroot it and flash stock recovery and lock the bootloader to get it to update to 5.0.1?
No, it's flashable in your custom recovery. It's 5.0 though

Yeap , ota needs stock recovery. Also , switch to twrp since cwm isn't playing nice with L.

I'm on the stock ROM you linked too, stock recovery, and unrooted but, when I get the update for 5.0.1 and try and install it, I get an error. Do I need to relock my boatloader?

You're on a custom Rom. The ota isn't going to work. And you don't need to relock your bootloader. If you can afford to wipe your data download the 5.0.1 factory image. Extract it and use the flash-all.bat

My computer is Linux, and adb and fastboot for whatever reason unknown to me, won't install. That's why I asked for a zip file of the factory image. Thanks for the help though.

Well, unfortunately, there isn't a 5.0.1 flashable rom available right now. If you can't get fastboot to work on your Linux machine you're kind of sol as you need to be 100% stock to get the ota to work. That means stock recovery in your case. Google recovery zip collection xda. There's a custom recovery flashable stock recovery there.

Did some more digging, got it install, and flashed the factory img for 5.0.1 and twrp recovery then superSU through twrp.
Mods please lock the thread thanks.
Get wugfreshes Toolbox. It has access to all factory images. Some people are not fans of "one click solutions" but this has never let me down.
There's a flushable zip on here also. Put it in a search in the app and you should come across it. It IS the full version.
Did you ever find out why the CWM restore led to getting stuck on boot animation??
Just ran into this last night. Tried restoring 2 different CWM backups and both got stuck on boot animation.
I eventually got a new ROM flashed. Going to try TWRP recovery I suppose.
I know I never had this problem with 4.4, this was the first time I have restored a LP ROM..

My guess would be; cwm hasn't been optimized for Lollipop. Cyanogen has just recently started working on 5.0 and they probably haven't touched the recovery too much. But that's just my guess.

From your bootloader you could first try clearing the cache, if that doesn't work the only other thing I can think of is to try to do a factory reset
