[Q] I have broken my Moto G - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have recently tried to revert my Moto G from Cyanogenmod to stock firmware using a zip file I downloaded called "RETAIL-GB_4.3_14.10.0Q3.X-76-LGG-8_cid7_CFC_1FF_svc.xml.modaco.r3". That got me stuck in a boot loop so I tried to boot into recovery, which had been uninstalled, so I reinstalled twrp from my computer.
I then tried to reinstall Cyanogenmod 12 but it said it couldn't mount storage and data and failed every time. Please help me because I don't think my parents are going to be getting me a new phone anytime soon because i'm on a contract.

-Recovery = TWRP

EDIT: Does anyone know how to fix the no service problem?

Try flashing the Retail GB 4.4.4 using fastboot or mfastboot.

In twrp you have to format data partition
Remember wiping is different from format
After format it will mount data partition and flash whatever you want it will work

Thanks, I wiped the data. When I tried to install CyanogenMod again, it said:

It says your bootloader is outdated, you have a kitkat bootloader, for newer versions of cyanogenmod-based lollipop ROMs you need the lollipop bootloader, wich is 41.18 for the versions XT1032,XT1033,and google play edition of motorola, and 41.19 for the CDMA version of the phone. You can search in Original development thread of CM12 on how to upload the bootloader the safest way, because it's the most easiest and risky way to brick your phone permanently. In the thread you have precise instructions on how to do that the most safe way, so i won't write any tutorials to you here.
Good luck and hope i helped!/

The installation took longer because now the phone was able to mount data partition, which is obviously a good thing
Your error is because of older bootloader
U can either update the bootloader which I would suggest is better option or you can install a nightly older than 24th March which is compatible with even older bootloader
PS : I told you to format and not wipe, what did you do exactly ?

[Q] Status 7 error: Flash Clockwork on HTC Sensation XL Vodaphone

Hi all
Not sure what logs to show or how to get those logs.
I have tried to flash Cynaogen on my Sensation XL (Australia). Its SD card is within the internal memory, not on a card.
It is rooted with S-off. I used Runnymede AIO tool for s-off and root.
I've backup using Runnymede and Titanium.
Following the Cyanogenmod page, I wiped the phone clean and I tried to flash the new rom.
Now I'm getting the "Status 7" error when I flash via clockwork by selecting the zip.
I mounted the system, data, cache and sdcard which removed "cannot mount" errors
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") =="
E:"error in sdcard/cm-9.1.0-pyramid.zip (Status 7)"
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/cm-9.a.0-pyramid.zip
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
Can't flash recovery.img via the AIO restore either.
Appreciate any help, this sucks!!!
EDIT: RESOLVED: When the CD card failed to mount in recovery, I formatted with win7 (it prompted when I mounted as USB).
Then I installed via recovery King Cobra. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036007

bricked device?

hi,
I tried upgrading my tf300t from cm10.1 to cm10.2 . after a few failed attempts during which I am not exectly sure what I did wrong i got the device into a condition in which it only boots directly into CWM v6.0.2.3 without any option to do anything else. pressing power+volume down does not stop it from directly booting into recovery.
inside the recovery it says:
"E:Can't mount / cache/recovery/command/
E:Can't mount / cache/recovery/log/
E:Can't open / cache/recovery/log/
E:Can't mount / cache/recovery/last_log/
E:Can't open / cache/recovery/last_log/",
and i cannot mount any partition on the device. trying to access it from fastboot\adb has not been successful.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks a lot,
guy
I now recall that at some point after trying to flash cm10.2 didn't work I tried flashing the offical asus firmware blob. after that the device successfully booted but when I tried to return to the recovery mode I still could not mount the /data partition. after that I tried some more flashing which brought me to the current situation.
new development -
after installing the universal naked driver i was able to boot into the boot loader using adb and I even can boot the device to the os, though no change when inside the recovery mode. if the device reboots it automatically goes into recovery and to reboot it I have to use adb again.

Flash the updated stock ROM again via fastboot to reset it back to stock. then flash the correct TWRP and then flash the CM 10.2 ROM you wanted.

I've tried that and the device does not seem to be responding to the idea. in fact I dont think it gets anything I've tried to flash at all. the files do transfer but do not seem to install. after starting a flash with fastboot the device stops responding.

plus, the bootloader screen does not show the usb icon at all. I am flashing when the device is in the bootloader.
at the bootloader screen there is a message: "key driver not found"

OK you said it can boot into Android though. Use terminal emulator to install the TWRP and then flash the stock ROM from inside TWRP. Just make sure the TWRP matches your bootloader.

That means you are on the 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 bootloader. That bootloader doesnt have a USB icon, it goes directly to fastboot if it is detected and that is completely normal.

Oh i thought you still had CM10.1 on it. Can you flash ROMs from that CWM or is the /data thing messing it up.

the /data prevents me from accessing anything on the sdcard so i cant flash anything from inside the recovery itself.
so, after doing as the guy in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425581 says, I managed to make the device successfully reboot to the os by default and even make it reinstall the stock rom and than twrp recovery. the problem no is when entering recovery, it asks for a password which i do not know. when choosing cancel it gets me in but now it displays:
"E: unable to find partition size for /misc
E: unable to find partition size for /staging
E: unable to find partition size for /data

when trying to install a different rom the recovery mode fails to access the internal/external sdcard.

that means you probably flashed the wrong version of TWRP. Are you on the stock 10.6.1.8 or on a later version of bootloader? Those are different.

Mutlirom Recovery Update---->Bootloop

Hello all
I just updated the multirom recovery after a year of successfully using it with 4 different roms, which 1 of them is ubuntu and now am stuck in a bootloop.
Whatever rom I try to boot it kicks me back to the rom selection screen. It must be something wrong with multirom recovery because even when I select to boot into bootloader or even Shutdown the phone from the multirom menu it just bootloops to the same screen again.
I'd really appreciate any kind of help you can give, it's extremely important I don't lose my roms. I want to save the phone as is.
Any ideas? Would really appreciate it.
-Regards.
I can't install any version of Multirom through twrp recovery. It always gives me error 7.
I also can't install a new rom. It says "Failed to create rom folder(Read only file system)".
I flash the AK kernel succesfully but at the end it gives me these errors:
E: Unable to mount '/data'
Failed to mount /data partition!

E: Unable to mount '/data'

Phone no longer has OS and having trouble installing custom rom

Hey guys, hoping someone can save me from having to buy a new phone. I either need to fix it quickly or replace it quickly cause my job depends on having one.
I have a Moto 9 g plus.
I wanted to root my phone for a long time and today I decided to try since the Android 11 update ****ed up the camera on my phone anyway.
I followed this guide here
Root Motorola Moto G9 Plus Android 10 using TWRP and Install Magisk
When you have Stock Android on your mobile, You are almost free from bloatware apps. Even if your manufacturer put some apps, You can get rid of them in
www.androidinfotech.com
Everything seemed to be going well except that I couldn't get magisk to install, I kept getting errors in twrp.
I ended up installing the apk for magisk and used it to modify the boot file. I installed the image in twrp and on reboot, it went into a boot loop. I could go back to trwp and after swiping to factory reset, it broke the loop when I restart the phone. The problem is that now it just goes straight to the menu that you normally need to press and hold down and power to go to. I never did get to confirm if my phone was successfully rooted or not, I'm guessing no, and that that is the main problem now, as the phone won't boot up to where I can use apps, and if it isn't rooted, from what I understand, I can't install another rom?
Also, whenever I'm finished with twrp, when I press to reset it says something like "Phone no longer has OS, are you sure you want to reboot?". I read it is from wiping the data or factory reset, but I didn't actually wipe any internal memory, I can still view all files on it and on my sd card.
Maybe you guys can confirm my suspicions that I just ****ed up my phone for good or not.
This is what the error says when I attempted to install a rom, I tried with lineage and arrowos and I don't believe the problem is with the roms.

Thanks to anyone to offers any suggestions, this is my first time attempting this, so don't assume I know anything, I just step by step tutorials and usually don't have problems like this.
