Hello guys , I've got a unlocked and rooted Made that has been in an drawer for a few months. My girlfriends 2nd gen Moto X screen broke and she's going to use it while Motorola fixes her screen or replaces the phone. Anyways there's an update that keeps trying to install on my Maxx. When it does it will basically bootloop with the TWRP recovery that's installed on it. Is there a way to install the update with the TWRP recovery or do I need to put the stocks recovery back in and let it install that way ? I've moved on to a Turbo so I forgotton how to do all that is there a guide , lastly where would I find the update in the phones memory ? I know all newb questions. I'm sorry. Thanks for your help in advance..
You could just flash the stock recovery. Or use the fxz and rsd light. It will do the same thing. Twrp won't work with stock update.

Hey there =)
I´ve often read threads and posts by people how did not realy know what they did and after an interrupted flash or a bad rom the phone does not work (propperly or at all) and now they think they really messed up theyr phone...
I know that there are many different phones and roms and ways to so called " soft brick" your phone but if you follow the statet steps you will bring your phone back to life =)
1. DONT WORRY and stay calm
2. Find out how to get into the recovery mode
2.1 If you found out try to whipe data/cash and restart the phone
(many people have bootloops after flashing a rom and dont whipe the data/cash)
3. If there is no way to safe your Firmware (for instance due a interupted flash) search (google) for a stock rom wich fits to your region and phone
(For instance "flashing I9001 stock rom" if you have a sgs+
4. In most of the cases youll find what you are searching for (samsung roms can be found on http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/)
5. If you are really a noob you have to know that the software wich is needed to flash a firmware is odin (in xda forum you will find what youre searching for)
All in all you have to know that there are many people who have or had the same problems like you and you dont have to worry you will make it
Im posting this thread because a few years ago i was total android noob and learned how to flash in the way i stated above
Stay well =)
Only a question. The jig usually help if your bootloader got corrupted ( or something like that) , or no way to save it?

I have a suggestion to add in the OP,
For sony phones you can use the sony update tool to unbrick your phone,
Or what worked for me when i bricked my device and nothing worked: flashing all the mods you have at once and wipe everything
sony xperia ray
ics 4.0.4 rooted
stock rom
I flashed TWRP on my new tablet and now when I power it up, it is stuck on the boot screen. I can power it on and off but that is it. I can't get in to recovery and I can't even charge it. My computer does not recognize it now either. What can I do? How do I fix this? Please help!!!
My tablet is from Tablet Express. It is called a Dragon Touch X10. The ID is LMY48B. According to Google, the LMY48B is a Nexus 5 Hammerhead. The TWRP that I flashed was for the Nexus 5 Hammerhead.
Nice one...
Keep it up... its worked for me:good:

Build ID's are for a particular branch of Android, LMY48B = android-5.1.1_r3
For a custom recovery, like TWRP, it needs to be built for your device (or ported from a similar device, with an Allwinner chip)
You can go to the Tablet Express website and more than likely get the tools and firmware you need to fix your tab, link
Hi friends
im new here so this is my second post considering my earlier one i got no reply, what i want is help from any android expert in solving my problem. see i recently got the HTC one X plus and unlocked the bootloader, and installed clockwork mod recovery and rooted my phone. now when i receive the offical jb ota update, i cannot update it and it says error and i abort the installation and then reboot the phone in clockwork mod. and by the way all this unlocking and rooting is done thanks to Hasoons2000 tool kit, bless that developer who made this toolkit. so after researching reading many forums and find out that we have to use stock recovery image for htc one +. to fix the problem , i cant find any One X + stock recovery image all i can see are htc one X stock recovery image. but i need the one specific to my phone model.
Also it would be of great help if you show me the process of using stock recovery on hasoons2000 toolkit for oneX+
Since i dont want to risk bricking my expensive phone. so guys if you have the solution to my problem please do help me out.!!
why isnt anyone helping out. or didnt try it

i got a chinese version of razr v(xt885) and now it simply cant boot (always stuck in the M picture) so i need to flash it
here i got several questions that not quite sure of
1. i already got it rooted using a batch file through adb but i find it unable to receive official ota update, so how can i just flash it to the factory state, i mean i want everything the same when i bought it. yes i got a official zip file, but what should i do to totally reset the phone? just get into the boot mode and connect the RSDlite and reflash it?
2. i want to flash the australian retail rom to use Google service。will there be any problem in the process?
3. i did some study on how to flash it using RSDlite. in many instructions people suggest you need to double wipe your phone. so why and when you need to do this?
4. since you cant remove the battery in xt885 so if you just stuck in the M logo when booting i will stay there untill battery worn up so will it be a problem while flashing?
i m a absolute newbie so any help will be appreciated! good day!

Hi All….received the 4.4.2 download this morning on my RMHD and ran through the install. At reboot the phone got stuck on the Red Moto logo… I let it sit for nearly 45 minutes, assuming it was doing its thing in the background. But at that point I figured it was safe to assume something got hosed. I rebooted back into recovery and did a factory reset. That wound up making things worse…now am in a boot loop between the logo and the Android triage guy (recovery)….
Phone was rooted and locked. And I am complete understanding that I was losing root with this OTA. Been reading all posts in here….please ‘flog’ me if I missed something.
With that said…I have two questions on recovering the device.
1) Can I simply download and copy one of the JB images from the Motorola Firmware site to my SD card and install via recovery (since my recovery appears to be OK)?
2) Or should I/need I follow procedures using RSDLite? And recover this way?
Any comments are appreciated!
Thanks
Doug
Never mind. iBolski's thread "Official KK OTA for 9.30.1 (XT926) users - please read" in the general forum looks like it might do the trick for me...and I won't be able to go to a previous (JB) Android version. This looks easy enough.
I have the same issue except I'm in need of a .zip or set of files for the modem firmware that I need to flash in 4.4.2 183.x.x Stock because I tried to downgrade to 9.30.1 jb and the firmware and the modem downgraded. Could someone create a package I can flash in stock recovery to restore my Droid Razr Maxx HD to to 4.4.2 183.x.x
I'm currently using the Droid Razr Maxx HD 9.18.94.XT926 and I'm trying to download the new KitKat OTA, but it's failing because I rooted my phone. I've been searching, and I'm not completely sure how to go about fixing this, if I even can. I have a locked bootloader if it makes any difference. To be honest, I feel silly for not being able to figure this out myself, but I really don't want to accidentally brick my phone. Turns out I know just enough to be dangerous. :crying:
Any help would be appreciated.
Instructions here for locked and unlocked bootloader. Also can't install the OTA with root. Has to be unmodified stock with stock recovery.

OK, I figured being root was the problem. So now for my next question, how do I flash a stock ROM? I tried using the RDS Lite but I couldn't get my phone to show up. I also wasn't sure which file to use from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=5 or if that mattered.
Here you go, you have to flash the stock rom, YOU will lose root.
Send me a pm (LOL i can't share links here hah i'm newbie), with the instructions that i followed, i'm right now on kit kat
House of Moto setup
please understand, I have a unlocked bootloader, so please take caution and read up on things before attempting.
Here I set House of moto up for XT926 it includes everything you should need to return to stock. I selected option #1
Of course you need the correct Motorola drivers installed for your phone.
More info on house of moto here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5FXi3o099wtS3c2R0pVWmVWV2c/edit?usp=sharing
I used house of moto to restore stock 9.30.1 then as the instructions from the link I post in a previous posted from iBolski I put the downloaded OTA Kit kat update for the 9.30.1 on my external sd card. found here
http://www.drdevs.com/devs/livinginkaos/misc/xt926update/Blur_Version.9.30.1.XT926.Verizon.en.US.zip
I then setup my phone up before updating, then ran stock recovery. I got the andy with red exclamation mark, held down vol+ and vol- down for a second then got menu. Selected zip from external sd. It verified things, installed new recovery then I went back to recovery after restart.
This time at the andy with red exclamation I pushed, held down vol+ then pwr button for a second. It then entered the menu, selected OTA zip again. It installed, I then finally rebooted and had kitkat running.

Thank you very much. Your instructions and file were extremely helpful. I'm now the happy owner of KitKat. For anyone else, reading, after I did everything and updated to KitKat, I had to factory reset my phone again to solve a problem with the Play Store, which worked with no problem.
