What's the process to flash the 33R system image without me losing the internal storage data? I have run in to some unfixable issue with the OPO and hence am considering flashing the factory image as the last option.
The only concern is the data on the internal storage which is important for me. As I am unable to boot to the desktop nor use the MTP mode from TWRP, I cannot transfer/back up the content.
I've tried flashing Mahdi/33R/38R zips after wiping system/dalvik/cache/data with no luck. The phone keeps rebooting and is in a loop. Tried fixing permissions from recovery with no luck. I have no idea what am missing here...
I'd appreciate if anyone can provide me with steps to flash system image (without losing the internal storage data) instructions or resolve the other bootloop issue.
Thanks!
All you do is TWRP -> Wipe -> Swipe -> Flash ROM (and others... only flash ROM for now and it'll boot, maybe one of the mods or whatever ur flashing causes ur phone to boot loop)-> Reboot.
And then your phone will stop boot looping

Thank you. I have done all that to be frank. I flashed only the Mahdi ROM zip first and then booted. No luck. It kept bootlooping. Then tried the same with 33R zip too. No luck again. I have no mods running whatsoever.
I've done a complete wipe too as apps and app data isn't something I care for currently. It's the internal storage.
Use fastboot, grab the latest stock images
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
This won't erase internal SD, all will be intact so long as your prior issue didn't corrupt it in anyway
Have you tried restoring a nandroid?

Thanks. Yup, used to do that with Nexus 5 and other nexus devices. But the factory image for OPO has other files too. Do I not need to flash them too somehow?
I think those are boot.img and tour radio firmware. I don't think you have tot flash those. But I'm also new to this...

I restart my phone because it did a lot of time to reset cache. I regered the time I did it but was late.
Now my phone opens but does not have mobile network and cannot access my /sdcard/
From recovery I can see my sdcard. What can I Do?
Are you fully stock? If so, then format /cache partition and then perform a factory reset via stock recovery.
If you aren't fully stock, and use a custom recovery then I would suggest you to perform a factory reset from the custom recovery (it won't wipe internal sd)..
If it still doesn't work then you need to go back to fully stock by flashing the factory images from Google.

Just flash the stock recovery via fastboot and then format cache multiple times until it successfully formats! Your data won't be lost.
Since you rebooted before the cache was formatted, it has ended in a messed up /cache partition.
If you want to backup data, you can use adb pull from recovery...
See above

You can try to restore the backup but I doubt if it will solve the issue. However, there's no harm in trying..
The cache partition is messed up.. It needs to be formatted first. That's why I suggested you to go back to stock recovery and format cache...
I have tried wiping cache on Philz Touch and twrp and it didn't solve my problem. I had to format the cache partition using the stock recovery and voila! Everything was fixed.

Flashing the stock cache.img won't wipe your saved data or backups.. There's no harm in trying.. However, if you're skeptical, adb pull all your important stuff and then do the flashes!

Hi folks.
I'm facing a really weird problem. My friend's N5 doesn't want to boot with Lollipop, it shows the boot animation, but nothing happens, more than an hour and nothing.
I tried to flash back to kit kat. It indeed booted, but just to say that the camera and gallery has stopped, and gallery couldn't find any storage. When I go to the storage section in the settings, it doesn't show the pictures, music and other sources, just available space, cache and apps.
I tried to flash a custom rom to, but they all give me bootloops.
I never had this problems with my n4, so i don't know what to do anymore.
Any solutions?
Flash lollipop with fastboot. Then boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset. Everything will be fine.

Hmm. Try fastboot formatting all the partitions and then flashing the image again. Can't hurt.

Yes, i'm absolutely sure. I'm used to use fastboot to flash my Nexus 4. I downloaded the proper factory image from Google and flashed it using both flash-all.bat and manual input in the cmd.
I tried to erase the partitions, format using TWRP, and install a custom ROM.
With twrp I can see the the internal storage partition, and even mount it to access by computer. But when the device boots, it just can't see the partition.
I put a song in the internal storage with twrp just to test, and when the device booted it didnt recognize the song, but when I got back to recovery, it was still there.
It seens that the problem is in the internal storage, but I don't know how to fix, and what could have caused it.

I have wiped everything lots of times.
It's the first time I have a hard time trying to fix an android phone...
Now I flashed kitkat image again. It booted but with the storage problem. Then I update via notification, and it stuck in lollipop boot animation.
I will let it booting through the night. Or it boots after a couple of hours or the battery dies.

Yeah this seems kinda crazy. Usually when stuff gets messed up like this a factory image clears it up. In your case, I honestly don't know what else to recommend. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Replace internal storage, nothing else you can do
Nothing worked in the end. My friend will send the phone to tech support.

I don't know if it is still the case, but I have had to use the following fastboot command before I could access TWRP again in this situation. The command will wipe internal storage entirely.

I had the same problem but I can't remember how I solved. I do remember that I deleted all the user data. I then tried to do another nandroid and again it ended up with a boot loop so I think it's a recovery bug. I wouldn't do nandroid backups via recovery until the bug is fixed. I think there is an app in the play store that can make backups without the recovery but I haven't tried it.

No, Not erease cache, but "erase userdata".
Use the command "fastboot erase userdata" from command prompt, that's all.
After you do this, press power button to switch your Moto G off and press power button again to start it. Your phone should normally boot and will be fresh as arrived from factory
Hope this helps you.

You can flash the stock images via fastboot, that will erase everthing and get you back to stock. You can then install a custom recovery and flash roms again.

There is a command to wipe user data, see the below guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2839471
Reason!
Thanks for your expert replies.
The reason for asking was and is for you to know in depth what happened.
My OPOs BL is unlocked and rooted.......at times try other ROMs like Hydrogen, RR, etc.
I was surprised to see and empty Baidu folder size 80 bytes shown by ES File manger, after I flashed back COS 12.
The way I flash is firstly reboot to TWRP, Format > type yes, than Factory reset, than Advanced Wipe ALL except OTG, power off the OPO.
Power on in fastboot mode, connect to pc and flash COS ROM using those commands.
All is good, except the empty Baidu Folder, fail to understand how did it persist.
Other thing is when I later flash TWRP over stock, and than when I perform a factory reset before flashing another ROM, see red SD card errors? ........have to keep rebooting to TWRP.
The way I flash is TWRP > Format type yes > Factory reset > Wipe all except OTG > Mount OTG-USB containing the zip, install zip swipe flash > once done > Reboot. (before reboot don't clear dalvik and cache).
If I take screen capture of TWRP they wont be saved in Gallery.
TWRP 2.7.8.0 when flashed on start up showed this.........
"TWRP has detected an unmodified partition. TWRP can leave your partition unmodified to make it easier for you to take official updates. TWRP will be unable to prevent the stock ROM from replacing from replacing TWRP and will not offer to root your device. installing zips or performing adb operations may still modify the system partition.
Never show this screen during boot again."
To sum up my queries are:
1. How can I perform a deep clean of OPO, and than flash COS 12 using fastboot, so I don't see any Baidu etc empty folders.
2. Than flash TWRP and and if needed can take it's screen captures.
3. Later if required can flash new custom ROM with out issues.
Bottom line to clean my OPOs Storage that includes SD card.
Btw my OPO isn't giving any issues or bugs and working great, no EFS issues etc.........
After reading all care to edit/correct what am I doing incorrect?
Thanks again.

I have seen people querying the Baidu folder before (i have it myself), it seems to be a folder left by ES file explorer, have you ever installed that? It doesnt seem to be anything malicious, although a lot people were spooked, thinking it was spyware of some sort.

Below is the command for flashing the userdata file via fastboot. If you have downloaded the fastboot image files, I think it basically pushes a blank file to overwrite/format the user data space/parition.
Code:
fastboot flash userdata userdata_64G.img
no power button problem
without any reason the phone rebbot itself and stuck in boot loop animation....stock MMB29V Marshmallow , no root, only unlocked
tried:
-wipe cache and data
-reinstalling all singles images files
-reinstalling with flash all bat and finally it works...
what's the problem???
and now? there is something to check? have to change the phone???
tnx
Manually flash each partition again, including userdata.img partition. After flashing the last partition, boot directly to recovery using the power and volume keys (don't reboot the phone at all after flashing the last partition), perform a factory wipe, and reboot.
Ok but i need ti know if is possible to check the health device status
What do you mean by health? You mean each component?
I mean if is possible that something hardware is defective or going to be defective.
can I run some tests?
I know of no tests that are available to the public.
Ok

I have a similar problem with my N5, it was originally a power-button issue, and after some "whacking" the phone no longer "repeatedly reset" but now it just sits on the "Google" boot screen forever. Probably something got messed up during all the unintended reboots. I already went into recovery and did a factory reset, no luck. Tried flashing to older ROMs, no luck. Started hitting up forums, saw this post, tried your suggestion (flash each partition manually, did a "fastboot reboot-bootloader", enter recovery, wipe, and reboot), and still no luck.
I can get into fastboot/recovery, and even tried loading custom ROMs (CM13 to be exact). No matter what I tried, the phone will power-up, and stuck at the "Google" screen. Note that I've always waited at least an hour after flashing each version before I reboot from the "Google" screen.
I've read somewhere there is a "persist(?)" partition which will throw some error if corrupted, but it will require USB debugging enabled to fix. Unfortunately, I can't boot into any ROM to enable USB debugging...
Am I SOL or is there anything else I can try?
Thanks,
Wallace

First time I did a wipe it took over an hour, then the phone rebooted to the dead android screen. So I tried to wipe again, and it seems like all subsequent wipe took anywhere between 3-5 minutes. No error on each wipe (can't say on the first one, since by the time I got back to the phone it has already rebooted). And yes, I did flashed everything - boot, cache, recovery, system, userdata, bootloader, radio - not exactly in that sequence, but all of those partitions are flashed with the image that comes with the Google download package. Then factory reset and reboot.
Thanks,
Wallace
Maybe try erasing cache and data using fastboot commands? If this doesn't work, it's possible that there is a hardware problem with the phone's internal memory.

Yup, or fastboot erase cache or fastboot erase data.
Sounds like the emmc may be messed up.

Tried all those, and yes same result... also, I flashed a different recovery (TWRP) and thereafter I can't even flash new ROMs anymore. ADB Sideload error our (forgot to write down the error message), and if I copy the file to internal storage and flash from there, TWRP will get stuck for hours.
How common are eMMC corruptions?
W.
The emmc problem is not that common, but it does happen. I'm not sure if it is partition or software corruption or a physical defect.
Other xda members have encountered emmc problems too that could only be fixed through a motherboard swap.
I am running into a situation emmc. the problem is I tried below action so far
1. Attempted to flash recovery partition which failed immediately after first reboot . it never got flashed correctly
2. Attempted to format all the partitions but I could format boot partition I could format no other partition it clearly says that can't mount
3. Then I tried to boot using fastboot command into recovery partition my command is
Fastboot boot recovery.img
I tried cwm I tried TWRP . only 2.6 dot x x worked in twrp. Cwm was not so helpful because it does not give me many features likewise TWRP
Once I boot in the recovery it asks for password if I click cancel it shows me all the interfaces but nothing works I don't have any local storage available it clearly fails to read it and everything shows is encrypted I don't know not sure what is going on there
When I attempt to format I get a error message as no partition available for this operation. No file system available
About phone but I think I am still searching for options but so far I could see that this is e MMC issue and there is no partitions available on this memory I am not able to format this internal memory I am new to the Linux environment and not sure what to do to format this internal emmc...
Can someone suggest any options to format and Re partition the emmc?

The constant boot looping could be a power button problem?

Maybe im mistaken but evertime i had to put in a password in ttwrp i had gotten encrypted...you get it fixed? My friends started bootlooping for no reason and wouldnt stop til the battery was dead.. Never seen a stock phone do that..
