[q] big problem can't install stock rom - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM
I have a moto g unlocked phone. I would root this phone but it failed with rooting. Now i would relock the bootloader and install the stock rom. As install the stock rom all file install but the system files aren'T install. It says,,failed to validate system image,,. i reboot it it says that is unlocked, turns off, turns on with the unlocked message and then come a android with a red triangle Now my question is can i install with usb otg cyanogenmod or stock rom
PLEASE FOR HELP
PS: i can go to the fastboot

Why do you want to relock the Bootloader? As i read people got in trouble after doing this. Not sure, never tried it since i have unlocked it. What happend when you tried to root? Error message? Which method? Are you sure you are using the right stock rom which you wanna restore?
Follow this guide to restore your phone.

I think i have rooted. My phone turns on and the display goes purpell. And then comes without root. Thanks for the link but it comes the same error message

Are you sure you are using the right stock rom you want to flash?
Are you flashing sparsechunk files?
If you flash sparsechunk files, keep in mind that you have to type the proper filename.
In the tutorial it is to flash sparsechunk like this:
Code:
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk[B]1[/B]
Maybe your first sparsechunk file is 0 not 1.
Extract Zip file and check.

Droid Razr Maxx HD xt926 recovery issue

So i have a Droid Razr Maxx HD xt926
it is on the latest 4.2.1 ota
It was starting to run slow, so i figured it was time to root and get a custom rom. but what i didn't realize is you cant unlock boot-loader.
So i rooted the phone, no issues. i tried to flash TWRP and CWM and both failed.
So when i go to recovery all i get is a black screen with white writiing that says
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (s)
10.9B(#) (sha-1e9f, 2013-05-25 01:04:26)
eMMC info: Size 32GB
Divice is LOCKED, Status Code: 0
Battery OK
Connect USB
Data Cable
Failed to hab check for recovery: 0x56
Fastboot Reason: Boot Failure
I can exit out and get back to android.
Since i can get the bootloader unlocked (at least i dont think there is a way) i want to flash everything back to factory, it can be unrooted as well. just want a clean start on it.
any help would be great thanks.

sounds like you jacked stock recovery. if it will boot up, try using this http://www.mediafire.com/download/tt7cwwua49n24uv/Razr_HD_Recovery_Flasher_V7.rar to put the stock recovery back on. i cant say for sure it will work but i think it will.

If the bootloader is locked, it's highly unlikely that attempting to flash a recovery would've touched the stock recovery. With that being said, you can use one of the utilities to flash back to completely stock or use RSD and flash the most up-to-date XML from here:

true but you have to modify files before rsd will work, and the utilities say dont use on the latest update (locked) unless there is one i haven't seen, correct?

I've never had to modify the XMLs to work in RSD, but you might have to for some of them. You can swap files in the utilities and put the newest update in there. Also, flashing your zip or any other zip should clear the flash fail.

boot the phone up (just power on), after on plug it into your pc, use the tool i posted in #5 (just going off what RikRong said, any successful flash should clear the failure) flash "stock recovery", let it reboot and see if its fixed.
if its not fixed, im still under the impression you will have to do one of 2 things to fix it from what i read others post previously,
-replace the files in matts utility with the latest ones from the stock files, or
-modify the xml file in the latest sbf to get rsd to work without failing

CM10.1 Android 4.2.2 Razr HD XT925
Already installed various recoveries only my device so enter the stock recovery, bootloader unlocked with this, I want to install cm10.1.3 4.2.2 and I can not, can someone help me?
My Droid Razr HD is doing the same thing
My screen says all of that also.
its says its locked and the battery is ok and all of that
I was trying to root my phone which was unsuccessful.
Now I cannot start and run my phone properly.
when it comes on it has me choose a language and press start and then acts like its loading and says it may take a few minutes. It will do that for hours and never move on to the next step.
How did you fix yours and recover it?
None of the other options on the reboot screen work...
I had tried:
normal start up
AP fast Boot
Recovery
BP Tools
They all lead to the same thing with the language selection and so on.
What can I do?

assuming you have a 926, re-flash it with this.
if you have a 925 do NOT use ^^ that. you will have to use rsd instead.
I am having a similar issue but my bootloader is unlocked and no matter what I flash to recovery recovery won't work anymore whether it being a factory reset or trying to just plain boot in to it.

on the bootloader screen it says "status code 3" correct?
you cant flash cwm or twrp with fastboot?
what exactly is it doing or not doing and does the flash dialog indicate it flashing ok?
you imply, you cant boot into recovery, then say a factory reset wont work. what happens exactly in either of those attempts?
after you flash a custom recovery, you have to power off the phone and boot right into it and flash the su zip (do not boot the system in between), you know that correct?
any other info you can provide that i may have left out could be helpfull in getting this working for you.
Hello everyone,
I know this tread is old but, I have a problem and I hope someone here can help me. I have a mot razr 926 with these specs:
android version 4.1.2;
System version 9.30.1.XT926.Verizon
Kernel 3.0.31 ( I believe is stock)
Build number 9.8.1Q-94-1
My phone was rooted before with stock rom; I had to do a factory reset; so I reset, rooted again and my mistake it was trying to unlock the bootloader ( I know, I know, it's 9.30....)
Now my problem is that I don't have "recovery" or I don't have access to it. Things that I have tried:
Moto utility 1.34
Moto utility 1.3 gpt fix
Razr HD Recovery flasher V7 (tried to install cwm and stock)
I'm just trying to get any recovery working.... any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Have you tried the stock recovery??, it can be tricky to get into stock recovery by pressing the correct combination of buttons
EDIT: You can use RSD Lite to update your phone to 182.46.10 and use Towelroot to re-root the phone. Once rooted, you can use Motoapocalypse to unlock bootloader.
EDIT 2: Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr-hd/general/index-motorola-droid-razr-hd-2015-t3167557

You either have a modified system file or a file left over from being rooted. The easiest and fastest solution would be to fastboot flash the system image. You could of course flash the factory image.

Well now i remember changing the mixer_path.xml ... Will i have to unlock my bootloader to flash the factory image as i had rooted my phone with towelroot so i didnt have to do it earlier..
Also is it possible to replace the mixer path file with the original one from the internet

That sucks! ; ) I've always used the sdk so I don't know a whole lot about towelroot. Your bootloader will have to be unlocked to flash the factory image. If you can reroot you could then use the app BootUnlocker.
I just looked and I don't have the stock mixer_paths.xml anymore or I would link to it.

Thankyou for your efforts and advise. I guess i will just rerrot with towelroot, unclock the bootloader with the app you suggestee and flash factory image..
Btw. Will flashing the factory image unroot my phone and lock the bootloader or is there some procedure that needs to be done to do that?

Flashing the factory image or a system image will always unroot your device. Lock the bootloader using the sdk. The command is fastboot oem lock.
Is there a reason why OP needs locked bootloader? Just leave it unlocked, unless you have a really strong reason to. It will spare you hassles in the future.
That said, after unlocking bootloader, you can (at least, we could in the past) flash the update file through twrp (you just need to fastboot boot twrp.img and then flash the update), that will tell you exactly what file(s) doesn't match. Those are the ones you need to replace back to stock.

Unlock bootloader then rooting method?

Hey everyone, I've been lurking around for about two months, from when I picked up this phone. It's still completely stock. Unrooted, S-ON, all that. Well, after the update to Nougat, I've been searching for a way to unlock the bootloader & root. Is it safe for me to use WinDroid Toolkit for the process? Just need a guide for the process, for the most part. I appreciate any help that anyone is willing to offer.

Go to http://htcdev.com and make an account, then follow the steps and unlock your bootloader from there. After that you fastboot flash TWRP using ADB, and then use TWRP to flash a root solution. I prefer Magisk.
Alright, just unlocked the bootloader, going through the process of setting up my phone once again. Do you have a link to the Magisk & TWRP programs that I can use? Also, should I put the TWRP file in the same folder as the fastboot files?
I greatly appreciate the assistance you've given me so far, I'm deeply grateful man.

try this step by step.. :good:
1.Flash TWRP 3.0.3-8 via Fastboot.. Do not reboot into system, enter into recovery..
2.Do a factory Reset via TWRP.. Do not reboot into system
3.Now flash SuperSU 2.79 SR3.. Reboot into system..
couple of bootloops are common, do not give up for at least 3 bootloops..
It will take a long time to boot as you have done a factory reset..
So be patient and wait for at least half hour..

Sorry about this - I updated the TWRP thread with the current/preferred root method: MagiskSU.
You need to flash a stock boot.img and then flash the Magisk zip from the linked thread.

You don't flash firmware with TWRP. But you can use the SD card method to flash the RUU, which doesn't require a computer.

Hello Guys,
I Have an HTC one a9 with 7.0, s-off, bootloader locked
I have some concerns before I root my phone
If I unlock the bootloader and root the phone, Will I have the option of phone encryption as it used to be ?
If I unlock the bootloader with HTCDev and flash the TWRP with SuperSu and boot file, it is a MUST to do a data factory reset? or I`m able to do all the process without loosing my data?
Thank you in advance

Unlocking your bootloader will wipe the device.
Hi all, I've been lurking and reading for 2 months, preparing to root my device. So this title fits my mood.
One A9, "factory unlocked version", S-on, running 1.57.617.60
Just did the actual unlock from htcdev so now data is erased. I'm re-reading the threads I saved to prepare, now that it's time to actually finalize what ROM I want to run, but now have a few questions before completing the plunge.
In past threads I read the newer MM and N security prevented rooting, and reverting to Lollipop was necessary. From what I read here that is no longer the case?
If I want to debloat the system I am already running, can I do that without finding a custom ROM to run?
Thank you

Yes, you can root and debloat Nougat. Though you should make a stock system image backup first of you ever want to receive an OTA again. The TWRP thread FAQ has a lot of information about this.

Please help: How to return htc u11 to stock

Hi guys,
My phone now is on LeeDroid custom ROM (Build 1.03.401.6.9_g CL923215)
What are the steps to return the htc u11 to stock please?
The original software number of my phone is: 1.11.400.4
EDIT: I went to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72425224&postcount=5
& downloaded stock recovery & nandroid TWRP backup (for 1.11.400.4).
However, I couldnt flash that nandroid TWRP from TWRP recovery.
Long story short, I just got the phone today, I made a big mistake by not inserting the simcard in & testing to see if the phone working or not.
So, I went straight through the process of unlocking bootloader, installing TWRP, Rooting, Installing custom ROM without making a nandroid backup.
For all that, the phone did not recognize the sim cards (tried both my sim & my gf's sim. not working)
The store will take back the phone as long as I return it to stock.
Thanks for your help!!!

Hi guys,
What's the process of returning the htc u11 to stock please?
Googling doesn't give me much result.

You'll need to download the stock rom for your verison (ruu). Hopefully one is available. Check the guide section here.

Restore the TWRP backup, check everything is working, then flash stock recovery if you need to. The stock Nandroid should include recovery asfaik. I'm more of a trial and error guy lol. Read guide pages to know for certain, check HTC 10 guides, same steps.

1. Transfering the TWRP backup to the phone's storage
2. Flashing that backup just like flashing the custom ROM (it says Invalid zip file format. Error ect...) Please help
3. Flashing the recovery just like flashing the TWRP using adb commands
4. Lock the bootloader? I don't know how to do this.
Please advice

Get the one from here and follow instructions. That's what the thread is for. https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/how-to/collection-htcu-u11-ruu-firmware-t3612048. Sorry i don't have time to do the leg work for you (i'm out atm), but it's all there.
download this Official RRU firmware and install it https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/how-to/unlocked-htc-u11-software-update-6-19-t3624814
Use the ruu, you might need the HTC drivers but in the future never not make a backup, 15 mins could save u a major headache

Finished downloading & now I got an ERROR installation, something like a wrong ROM, probably because I'm currently on LeeDroid custom ROM (Build 1.03.401.6.9_g CL923215)
Please advice
Thank you

Your going to need a full signed RUU zip matching your original firmware and CID buddy.
Based on your original build number its an Indian dual SIM device so here is the ruu:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634780026
1. Rename it to 2PZCIMG.zip
2. Lock your bootloader
3. Drop the zip on your external SD card.
3. Boot to download mode, at that point you will be prompted to flash... Accept... Profit.
If you don't have an external SD.
1. Lock your bootloader.
2. Boot to download mode.
3. Open a cmd window and run the below commands.
fastboot orm rebootRUU (hit enter)
fastboot flash zip (drag the zip into the cmd window then hit enter)

On the PC side, what was the exact error message?
you can ignore the warning from the phone side.
I had a similar issue the other day, but then I was able to run the RUU upgrade to rest my phone back to stock as I had to ship it back for a refund, to get the new Red ones
When I ran the RUU thing it wouldn't detect the phone, did a few things, and then it was finally able to detect the phone.
and when it started updating the Boot image it hung for a long while, I had to restart the phone back into download mode, then run the RUU again, and it was able to continue from there.

The 1.03.401.6 may be European software. You will need the RUU for your exact phone model from: http://www.htc.com/us/support/updates.aspx

10$ for anyone who helps my phone to turn on

Hi. I have an Indian variant Motorola turbo. I am on a custom ROM(forgot the name acually) and thougt everything was working till my phone rebooted suddenly and went into recovery mode. Since then I have been trying to resurrect the phone but failing. Could someone here can help me to resurrect my phone back? I would reward you for your help..
Note : Tried all possible ways to get my phone back but its staying only in bootloader No matter what i do.
Update August 2020 : While taking out my things, I found my moto maxx, and after looking at it i wanted to give a try once again. If someone can help in bringing my mobile back to life. Attacing the images of the logs on the screen. Only bootloader is seen always. Please help me. I can pay more to someone who could help me.
was this on a fresh install? was this working for like a week or longer and then **** the bed? is it charged fully? can you reinstall the ROM fresh and have it boot? might have to brush up on mfastboot commands and getting access to push files to the memory so you can flash the ROM again.......
Did you somehow get your bootloader from unlocked state to relocked?

Ok tell me a few things,
1) were you on the latest firmware while unlocking bootloader?i.e, were you on the latest update of Android 6.0 while unlocking bootloader?
2) Have you tried flashing the stock rom ? While flashing stock rom you must edit the update script and remove the line which flashes the partition.
3) Was the custom rom working fine? Or did the issue start as soon as you flashed the ROM?
4)Can you go to recovery? If no what is happening when you try to go to recovery?
