Just hit cancel for Twrp password. Also this may have the same issue as the other root tool, if you aren't flashing a rom after unlock and root you must clear data in Twrp. There are threads around here about it, in general I believe. Try booting back into bootloader then Twrp and wipe data, see if it boots. I fixed mine this way. If not there is a restore dead nexus 1 click in the development forum that'll get you up and running again.

Good to hear. I think more instructions should be in the op, like the data wipe If not flashing a custom rom.

no it saying I have to manually reroot because super user has no binaries so Im not rooted
Either try update the binaries or grab the su. Zip from the manual root thread and flash in twrp

oh, sorry about that, this tool is an alpha(do not have the device but has been tested) as for the bootloop part the program asks you if your stuck in a bootloop then directs you to a thread that fixes that as these are 2 different processes.
this tool is classed as development, and the unbrick process is part of trouble shooting and help!

Well look at it this way, i'm on the AHD. I just flashed this to my device and it works. So what does that tell you since we are part of the msm8960 family? Its compatible.

I know at least the AHD and RHD have about a 10MB recovery size, thats how i knew it probably would work. I'd say yours is about the same size too since it is part of the same family.

@dhacker29 - You the man. Been a follower of your work for a while now. Thanks for the CWM update. Personally I'm a TWRP guy so can't wait until the kernel source is released to get a TWRP version for the stock 4.4.2 on XT926's.

You can attempt to root using Motorola Pie from jcase. In terms of downgrading, unless you have an unlocked bootloader, you're out of luck due to the bootloader security check.

Just to be perfectly clear, I can downgrade if I have unlocked bootloader?
I THINK, I THINK, I THINK.... that you can downgrade if you flash manually everything EXCEPT the motoboot.img

Yes, you can. Resources can be found HERE: http://waynekent.com/page8.html
However, never take the OTA on the custom FXZs. Your phone will be hard bricked.

Well, not hard bricked, I bought a Droid Maxx that someone flashed the Moto X 4.4.2 bootloader, and tried to flash the old Maxx one, just flashed again the Moto X bootloader and problem fixed.

I meant if you take an OTA prompt whilst on the incomplete downgraded firmware, the phone will become an unrecoverable paperweight once it tries to go to recovery
Why someone would mess with bootloaders is beyond comprehension. Glad your Maxx is up and running!

The 4.4.2 on the Moto X is running the 30.B4 bootloader, in theory, if we receive and upgrade to 4.4.2 or better, is probably that bootloader is bundled to the OTA, so I think i'm going to be fine... I hope.

My theory, as long as the phone is operational, everything's fine. Be happy you managed to revive it, man!

Prepping for 4.4.3 OTA Question

The M8 is the first HTC phone I've had. I was a Motorola fan until they locked down their phones tight. I've S-Offed, rooted and bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed on my M8. I'm running a few mods through Xposed and have bloatware frozen with Titanium. I'm just curious if I need to S-on or relock the bootloader and flash the stock recovery to take the OTA? I've heard to wait for devs to get ahold of the update and check it out first but even then what preparations do I need to make? Would really appreciate the help guys. Thanks in advance.
In order to take the OTA you will pretty much have to go back to stock. I would wait until it drops and flash a custom version so you can keep all your tweaks.
If you WANT to accept the ota, I believe you will need stock ROM, stock kernel, and you will need stock recovery. Not sure about locked boot loader, but s off should be fine.
If you DONT want to accept the ota, flash a ROM like cleanrom with a custom recovery and hang tight until someone packages the firmware. For this you will need to use one of the two s off methods, firewater or sunshine s off
By that do you mean one that devs make flashable through custom recovery? Sorry I feel like a newb with this phone. Wish all manufacturers could just do things the same way. I definitely don't want to lose root or unlocked bootloader
Guess I'll just hang tight and see what other people are cooking up once the OTA drops

Great. Thanks for the help. Definitely like HTC better than Motorola already.
Yeah, I'm sure Scott will make a flashable zip of the stock rom. He's going to stock now to be able to pull files and such. Just wait it out till a flashable zip hits.
Will it be just like flashing on a Motorola? Flash from custom recovery and all my data settings stay just like if I took the OTA?

N985F/D TWRP & Root

Hey everyone,
Im trying to flash twrp and root my Note 20 Ultra (N985F-D) but I cant seem to find any tutorials that give clear instructions for this specific device variant. If anyone has proper instructions with links or even a video tutorial that would be great.
I appreciate you help
Same here. N985F. Bricked tf out my phone yesterday trying so many different methods. There's literally nothing out there. I spent all night looking. Very frustrating
If I find anything I will keep u in the loop. I'm really trying to find something. Anything

I am showing you a Custom Rom, Dr.Ketan ROM which I installed through TWRP.
If you have TWRP... lmk. And your build is different from mine. So IF.... IF TWRP worked for you on your build, then I'd have to tweak it somehow for mine. But showing me this doesn't show me anything but the fact that you're rooted. And root is super easy....

I'm not an expert here... but I have years of experience flashing phones and bricking them too. So I know if it's not the same Model and software build.. there's a good chance it won't work. My phone is from Panama.... I just don't wanna brick my phone again flashing something that's not meant for my software build or exact model.
