[Q] Mixed up in my Photon Q CM Install - Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE

Installed CWM but installed the 4.1 update for Photon Q instead of the one here: wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_moto_msm8960 which is the recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-xt926.img
Rooted.
Unlocked.
Wiped data
Tried to install CM11 anyway, it failed, already wiped so then tried to restore. Backup failed on /system...
Where do I go from here? How can I install the correct 6.4 CWM over the one on there now through adb?
I was stuck at the bootloader unlocked screen for a while, but now I was able to get to fastboot.
Any help?
I successfully installed CM11 on my Atrix HD.

You don't want to install that version. The newest one you can install right now is CWM 6.0.1.3
Go here for that=> http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Go back into FASTBOOT, and go into your command prompt and type: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.3-asanti.img
Turn the phone off, hold Volume UP+Power Button until it boots back into recovery. Hope that helps

Fixed. and installed CM11.
I was able to get to fastboot and from there I flashed the correct CWM by typing fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
With the recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-xt926.img on my Photon Q, I was then able to successfully go ahead and install CM11, gapps, and backup the phone.
Thanks for the wonderful resources here!

I should mention that CM11 being unified for these Motorola devices has been great. Getting practice on my Atrix HD prepared me for the Photon Q. I used all the same tools and should have used the same .zips... I got screwed up when I tried to install what CWM had listed default.
I don't know if I mentioned it before, I am installing the unified moto_msm8960 version.
Lesson here that is echoed throughout other posts: You cannot install CM11 with CWM Recover less than 6.0.4!

tx926 all messed up

I need help trying to get back to the way it was. the bootloader is unlock, the phone will boot but here is the trouble 1. it will not do a factory reset, 2. the wireless is disabled, 3. no google apps are installed. I have used teamwin to format everything and do a install but it just updates the already installed programs. I have tried carbon and all the vers. of cm10. I also tried fastboot to install the img files. I used fastboot to format the phone all of this doesn't help. I been trying for 3 days to get back and I am getting nowhere. I need help bad.

Have you tried a different recovery - like cwm? It may make a difference.
Well cm 10 is based on 4.1 and those are 4.2 gapps I believe.

Making process the problem now is the Wi-Fi is grayed out. Unit is rooted and running Jelly bean 4.2.2 with the correct gapps. Please help
I had a ton of problems with my phone when I first got it. I was using twrp but when I fastbooted and started over with cwm (oudhs version) everything went much better. Idk why but that was my experience. So I suggest trying to switch recoveries like someone else suggested.

I am unable to flash the cwm recovery or twrp also a new kernel. It takes a long time to get pasted the screen "bootloader is unlocked". Again the wifi and blue tooth are not working. the wifi when going to the advanced menu shows that region code is Europe. Changed to USA closed and reopen and it is back to Europe. Is the bootloader causing all this???? ow can I see what is in the bootloader and edit it?
Have I got everyone stumped on this problem?

[Q] xt926 CM10.2 Stuck on Boot Logo After 1st Reboot

xt926 with unlocked bootloader and can run 10.1 nightly from get.cm with no problem. However, when I install a 10.2 nightly - whether from get.cm, epinter, dhacker or skrilaz - even though the initial boot comes up clean, rebooting after the initial boot gets stuck on the boot logo.
I have tried different recovery images - cwm, twrp, oudhs - and different versions of each.
I have tried clean installs, full formats and dirty upgrades from 10.1.
I have tried multiple force boots from this state (power+vol up).
I have tried with and without the updated gapps and UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip.
Restoring from backup does not get past this hang. The only way out is to revert to stock (I use mattlegroff's DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility_1.21).
Does anyone have any idea how I might get past this or even get a log?
Only thing that fixed this for me was to flash back to stock 4.1.2, flash newest CWM touch recovery, then flash newest nightly, Gapps, and SU. Then, a popup comes up saying something about the ROM wants to flash your boot image, and asks if you'd like to fix this. I answered YES (fix) and been working since.
Any chance you could link where you got your recovery and SU?
Much appreciated.
Same issue here...
I've also tried everything listed above. I've done everything i can possibly think of to get cm 10.2 on my xt926. For some reason my phone just isn't making it after the first reboot. I've searched and found similar issues but none of the troubleshooting has been working for me. I hope to find a way around this. I need that 10.2!
Same issue here. Not just CM, every 4.3 based ROM I've tried has either failed to boot or failed to boot more than once (more often than not, they won't boot at all).
I've been at this for hours, but I've had no success so far. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.
EDIT:
Here's my setup:
After every try, I flash back to stock 4.1.2 with VZW_XT926_4.1.2_9.8.1Q_62_VQW_MR-2_VQW_CFC.xml. I've edited it so it doesn't flash the stock recovery and so it flashes a modified logo that doesn't show the bootloader warning. Partway through, I booted up and updated to the latest OTA, so I had to comment out the tz.mdm files as well. I was using TWRP 2.2.2.1, but I updated to 2.6.0.0 earlier.

one of 2 things should fix this problem,
use cwm 6.0.3.5 from here or
go to recovery/mounts and storage and format the data-media line (i know it says sd card but its internal, do not format the external ed card line or you will loose data on it)
also i updated matts utiliity to the latest ota, so you dont have to take the ota just to get the baseband. its in the dev forum. i will be updating it to a newer version if you wait until later, with the newest recoveries.
edit, btw 2.6.0.0 is not the latest twrp although i recommend using cwm as some have had issues with twrp including me.
First off, the latest TWRP seems to have fixed the problems (for me, anyway). Second, you'll need to use the most up-to-date GAPPs when you flash. Also, a lot of people have noted that mounting sytem prior to doing their wipes has solved the reboot issues.
Thanks a ton for the help. Flashed latest CWM and bumped up to 4.4 and everything's working fine. I appreciate the help!

problem flashing roms on moto g xt1032

Hi, I'm new to flashing roms and after installing CWM 6.0.4.7 on my xt1032 and rooting whenever i try to flash a rom it gets stuck in the boot animation. I have tried CM 11 Carbon rom and paranoid android. I don't know if I'm using the wrong GAPPS or what. Please help.
Gapps are not the problem:the same thing was happening to me. The real problem is the bootloader: if you are on kitkat, you have to revert to stock jelly bean (4.3), install custom recovery (for JB), root and flash the custom rom you desire. That's the only way that worked for me.

I tried o revert to 4.3 but when flashing boot.img it said hab check failed for boot and now when i try to boot up it goes to the unlock booloader warning turns off and repeats. I can get back to fastboot but when i try to enter recovery it shows a broken android lying sideways. I think i bricked my phone. I really need help
Go back to Stock and start from Scratch.
As long as you can enter fastboot you should be fine.
I too have suffered with this problem, today i have done as above said, reflashed 4,3 but when i onstalled the cwm 4.3 version i still suffered the same problem, so i tried the cwm4.4 and hey presto, i now have cm11 on my phone, yee haaa

Try this,when you get to the broken android follow the instructions in the link below for "external reset" this will reset your phone.
https://motorola-global-portal.cust..._detail/a_id/97329/p/30,6720,9050/action/auth
if that fails just flash a stock 4.4 image with fastboot using one of the guides.

hello everyone
I have a question about PaulOBrien superboot root method (look in modaco forum the moto g root method 1).
I have a 16GB Moto G and updated to Kitkat via OTA.
yesterday I used the method 1 (superboot) on windows 7, to root my phone, and run it for the first time and ended on a black screen with green bars (supposedly normal). I power off the phone and turned on and load kitkat normally and noted that the phone was not rooted.
y tried the method for a second time and have the same results (ended on a black screen with green bars), but when kirkat launched, on the initial screen i saw a message "System UIDs Inconsistent. UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable." and the system didn't respond.
I performed a factory reset via stock recobey and kitkat showed the same message but let me in the "i´m feeling lucky button" worked this time. there I noticed that my device was now rooted but non app was able to access the internal memory due to some r/w permissions as I think, because when I try to copy files to the phone via USB cable, I get have the same denial, even whit ADB push i get the same message of permissions denial.
I need a way to solve this because in this actual stage the phone works but the apps have like no access to the memory making them unusable,
for example i cannot take a picture, or download a file, for some reason all google apps not work or force close every time.
I need a way to upload a .img file to the phone in order to perform a recobery or to make a fresh install via fastboot, donn't know how to make the phone let me wrhite files on it. :crying:
(note: sorry for my bad English)

As long as you can enter the bootloader you haven't bricked anything!!! so don't you worry!
I have two questions: when did you download the stock rom, did you check the MD5 ??? Are you sure that it wasn't a bad download ?
Additionally: are you sure that you have downloaded the appropriate ROM? Did you try to flash any other ROM?

I am having the same issue. I got this xt1032 after it was OTA upgraded to Lollipop 5.0.2 and I downgraded it to KitKat 4.4.4 Stock. Now I'm also getting stuck on the boot animations on every Custom ROM I try to flash on it.
Does anyone know if having the bootloader upgraded due to the Lollipop update has anything to do with this? mine is at Ver. 41.18.
EDIT: I was finally able to flash after Formatting Data from Recovery. Keep in mind this will basically delete everything from the internal storage and you need to put everything back there manually. Always make sure you backup your info/apps/music/fotos before Formatting Data.

[Q] CM11 Stuck on Bootloader

Attempting to get CM11 onto my Razr HD Maxx.
Steps I've taken:
Flashed CMW 6.0.
Enter Recovery
Format /system
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Wipe delvik cache
Install CM11/gapps
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Wipe delvik cache
Reboot system
Then it goes to the Warning Bootloader Unlocked screen and stays there.
Edit: I saw another thread where the user had a similar issue, but I cannot follow how they solved the problem.
Edit2: Backups aren't being flashed correctly either it looks like. Not sure if there is a way to put any new files onto the phone in its current state. If anyone could help me, I'd appreciate it very much. Possibly just bricked the phone :/

I had a similar problem. I ended up having to flash the recovery several times via ADB and iirc it was Philz recovery that finally worked for me. Ironically i had to even use a different ROM initially to get it to take the recovery and boot and then was able to switch over to CM11 (the recovery kept reverting to an earlier version of CMR) This was when 6.0.4.4 had just come out so that may not be what you're running into
Make sure you also have a compatible Gapps. Also try another rom just to be sure its working. Currently i've got SlimKat going and they have an updated Gapps package. Its pretty similar to CM11 in overall feel so start there to make sure your recovery is working

I'm going to try to do the AP Fastboot/ADB with Philz recovery. I haven't done this in a while so I wasn't sure if there was a general guide to do so. Downloading motorola drivers to my laptop right now, then I'll be attempting to flash via ADB.
No luck trying to ADB. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but the command prompt pops up for half a second and then disappears. Getting frustrated with this phone and have no idea what to do.
Can't say i've seen a guide lately on this but its a simple thing.
Put the recovery you downloaded like "philz_touch_6.19.3-xt926.img" in the same folder as your adb.exe
start a command prompt as administrator (right click it)...that part is important
get the phone in fastboot (hold down power + vol down) and connect by usb
enter the command "fastboot flash recovery philz_touch_xxxxxxx.img
unplug and reboot the phone to recovery and see what you get

the best way is if you have an USB Micro SD card reader. far far easier. Other than that you can use ADB to push the files over but you'll have to find the commands as i don't know them off-hand

Okay, I'm gonna try to use ADB. Not sure why but ADB always has trouble recognizing my phone. Haven't gotten around that quirk which I think is also the reason I was having trouble getting Philz to flash.
Edit:Not sure how I did it, but I mounted my SDCard in recovery, and it connected to my computer and was able to copy everything fairly easily.
Edit2: Still stuck on the bootloader screen :/
Edit3: I've done everything again: fastboot'd Philz recovery, wiped everything, installed CM11, flashed gapps, wiped data/cache. Rebooted and still get stuck in bootloader. No idea what step is next, or if I should just try to install a different rom.
Is it possible my phone is bricked?
So after having no luck with CM11 or Philz touch recovery, I flashed CWM and tried to flash CM11 again. No luck, so I tried flashing SlimKat. No luck with that either.
Really clueless atm about what to do.
Use one of the toolkits to flash back to stock. Its all automated and then you can try again

Slim should be pre-rooted, just enable it in Dev options or you can flash a SU .zip on recovery.
How's it working out for you? Any luck?
Stuck after 4.4.2 root and unlock
I'm having the same issue described above, however I rooted with towelroot. I unlocked the bootloader and am running twrp 2.7. I've only tried to install CM11, but it just freezes at the boot splash, and cycles through that until I shut it down.
If it matters, I originally rooted a year ago through the first unlock found by Dan rosenberg. I ran CM11 until this most recent root was found, and then I flashed the stock kit kat so I could get the updated antenna software.

ROM installation problems

I've been flashing ROMs, recoveries etc for years on every android device I've had, from Samsung to nexus, HTC. Everything. This is my first Motorola and I'm having a lot of problems.
Unlocked the boot loader, flashed TWRP but wouldn't backup my stock ROM so put on Pholz recovery and it wouldn't backup either.
Tried to install C-Rom after the usual wipes and just sticks at boot screen. Tried Tweakone ROM I think its called and same problem.
Any ideas? I have the XT1032
I know about restoring to factory but what I'm asking is, is there anything specific I'm doing wrong? I'm quite an experienced flasher. Research is showing me how to recover the phone but what's gonna stop it happening again

A lot of users report issues not being able to flash rom's on 4.4.2 kitkat.
A fix is to downgrade to 4.3, then flash roms.
I dont know why. I bought my device upgraded to 4.4.2 already, and i can flash roms with no issues.
Search the forum for the topic and you will find the info you need.

It wont backup saying what error?
Twrp just said 'failed' in red writing after the data backup I think. And philz touch said something along the lines of Not being able to write a file into the \clockworkmod folder.
I bought the device with 4.4.2 on it and followed the guides after reading up about the problems etc but TWRP 2.7.0.0 had a lot of reports that everything was working on it so went ahead with it

Ya that's strange because philz works great for me. Do you have a USB otg to try an external backup?

I got the phone booted again by following a guide and flashing a stock rom.
Installed Philz recovery again and still getting the backup error. it says: E: Error while backing up boot image!
So understandably i am now scared to flash another rom in case i get a boot loop again.
*update* Strangely i flashed TWRP via CWM, rebooted into TWRP 2.7.0.0 and performed a backup successfully.

Why dont you use Clockwork mod recovery for flashing Rom. I have flashed 10 Roms with that and all are backed up with out any problems. TWRP has no official support for moto g, and instead of all that why don't you try Cyanogenmod ?
(sorry if my english is not perfect)
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem with my XT1032.
Bootloader unlocked, CWM (6.0.4.7) successfully installed and backup done with no issues.
But custom roms won't load...
CM11 is stuck at "bootloader unlocked warning screen" and SlimKat is stuck at slimkat logo.
I never had such problems on my Nexus..
Please help me, I don't know what's going on

Same here. It may be possible to downgrade to 4.3 (see here), but would it then be possible to flash a 4.4.2-based custom ROM ? I'm not sure.
Heres the steps I took.
*******Before device was stuck at bootloop*******
1. Bought phone (XT1032)
2. unlocked boot loader
3. Rooted
4. Flashed Philz Recovery (wouldn't backup rom)
5. Flashed TWRP and CWM with same issue.
6. Flashed 2 ROMs to try it (TweakyOne + C-Rom, Both wouldn't boot. and tried on all recoveries.
********Steps after being stuck at bootloop*******
1. Followed this amazing guide here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laU6NQ0LxR0)
2. Set up the stock ROM again
3. Flashed TWRP 2.7.0.0 via Fastboot
4. Backup worked successfully
5. installed CM11 and setup successfully
6. installed Lego rom just to assure myself (currently running this ROM)
I know this is no solution at all but just wanted to share my steps to see what maybe fixed my phone. possibly the stock 4.2.2 rom I flashed was the solution. Maybe the original factory ROM that came on the phone was the issue?
