I have messed up my lg volt it was on the stock rom zv5 and was running fine with root. I decided to flashify a deodexed version of my rom onto my phone, this of course went wrong as all my phone displays is the Lg boot animation with Fastboot in the top right corner i cant enter recovery mode as I have a bad recovery. I can open up the adb sideloader within Android System Recovery but have no idea how to get it to work as my command prompt does not recognize the command. I have tried a factory reset and rebooting. Help please I am getting desperate. FYI I am 14 and my knowledge on flashing is minimal.

Hello, and welcome to XDA! You could try to adb sideload a rom and flash it. Or fastboot flash a working recovery onto your device, and then sideload a rom and flash it. Or you may have to reflash stock firmware onto your device to get it to work. Here is a guide as to how to flash roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android. To sideload, the command is simply "adb sideload name of file" without the quotation marks. For further help regarding your problem, you can register and post your questions in the XDA help forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help.
Good luck!

Hi together,
I've got a Motorola Photon Q 4g LTE mobile phone and this afternoon I wanted to install CyanogemMod, but whatever I do, I stuck with the following problem:
I can't install any other Custom Recovery. I tried ClockworkMod and OpenRecovery, but I always get the s**t Motorola Bootloader, when I start in Recovery Mode. The Bootloader of my Phone is unlocked via Motorola Website, as told in many other threads.
I know that the users arrrghhh, shabbypenguin and Skrilax_CZ are great experts with firmware and such things, but I'm not allowed to write in developer's forums because I'm new here.
Has anybody got an idea for me, how to geht the Custom Recovery to work?
Btw: I tried to root the phone as well, but that wasn't posible. May be things come together or depend on each other.
Thanks for your help!
When you flash recovery (IE run the fastboot command) is it successful?
With the phone in fastboot/bootloader mode, type "fastboot devices" in the command prompt (where you run the fastboot flash command) and what does it output?
Also, try this.

When I flash recovery, I just flash the Motorola given Recovery by Motoroloa Bootloader. The Phone restarts, a logo with the Android Man is shown (stomach opend with some engeniering tools in it) and after about 5-7 Minuten, the system starts normally.
I also managed it to change the "Unlocked Message" into a Motorola Logo by using fastboot flash logo xxxx.bin and I nearly destroyed the flash by flashing an unlikely file. So the phone was shortly out of order because oder "flash failure" (fastboot mode). After that, I managed to flash the "boot.img" file of an CyanogenMod, so the flash was rebuilt and I could use the phone normally.

It shows the connected devices by showing a 8 or 9 ditigt number. It's almost the same view like I connected the phone without fastboot and use "adb devices".

This one I didn't tried yet, because I was so dissappointed of the mismatch with ClockworkMod & Open Recovery. Do you think, that trying this one will help, after two others failed?!
Thanks for you notice and your time. That's very helpful!
You need to boot to recovery after flashing it. There's a shell script that is re-flashing stock recovery - the dead Android dude with tools sticking out of him is stock recovery....

Ah ja, now I'm one step closer. I did not know, that the dead Android dude is the sign for stock recovery.
I'll give it this afternoon another try and will report. A bunch of thanks to you at this time!
Hi, it's me again. I managed now the reboot to recovery, by holding the volume up button while doing the "fastboot reboot"-command with the command box. That worked and I could start Photon Q Open Recovery 2.06.
Unfortunately, I did something wrong or so and now the script re-flashed stock recovery again. Nevertheless, I now know how to operate and will do the rest by my own (hopefully).
@arrrghhh: Thank you very much for your help!
So, I finally did everyhting the right way (now with ClockworkMod Recovery), because I now have CyanogenMod running on my Motorola Photon Q
:victory:
@arrrghhh: Thank you very very much!
So I bought a Chinese OnePlus One, and it came pre-installed with CM 11 version 11.0-XNPH33r.
Connected to wifi, and got the system update for 11.0-XNPH38r Incremental, so I click download and install.
It reboots phone, then it loads ColorOS recovery looking screen with Chinese written on it and a green loading bar, then The CM splash icons comes back and loads. (alien looking guy with an arrow circling around his head)
After all that, I go to check the version and I'm still stuck at 11.0-XNPH33r!
I tried manually doing it from ColorOS recovery with 11.0-XNPH38r Incremental zip file, it installs about 3/4 of the way and then fails.
My Kernel Version is : 3.4.0-cyanogenmod-g0ad30e5
My ColorOS Recovery Version is : 1.2 (Rooted)
I've been looking around the forums, and I see people manually updating using TWRP which I don't have.
Can someone please help me, and if you have a solution can you please give me a step by step direction since I'm new to flashing/rooting and this phone.
I have a guide thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2839471
It contains instructions on how to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP recovery (sections 1 and 2). Before doing anything though you should check the status of your bootloader because it might already be unlocked. You'll need to follow the instructions at the top of the guide to install your phone drivers and also adb/fastboot via the Android SDK. Once you have done that you can boot your phone into fastboot mode (hold power + volume up), connect your phone to your PC via usb cable, open a command prompt from your fastboot folder (shift + right click anywhere within the foler, then select open command prompt here), and issue this command:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
Please post the results here.
Thanks man, I'll try that out.

TY for you help. I manage to get a custom recovery (TWRP), but I still can't update past 33R, when I update I get "E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/cache/cm-bacon-3628510d76-to-ac1ccf7921-signed.zip
I also have this phone SuperSU fully rooted I think

Go to section 8 of my guide and flash the stock images. Make sure you remove the -w of the last command though or it'll wipe all your user data.

Thanks man. I actually tried the flashing of 44s on the guide you sent me and it worked. Sorry for my last reply. You've been a great help and my phone is up to date.
Two last question if you don't mind. When the new update comes, can I install through Settings> About Phones> System Updates
or do I have to do something similar to the flashing I just did
after flashing my custom recovery is gone (TWRP) and the Cyanogen Mod Recovery took its place. Should I leave it like that or get TWRP and if TWRP is the answer, do I use the same method I did installing the custom recovery?
You should now have no problems receiving automatic updates through the settings menu. You can leave the stock recovery if you want to, or you can flash TWRP again. If you don't intend on flashing any custom ROMs or mods then the stock recovery should suit you just fine. Flashing a recovery is done via fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.4.1.img
(where the recovery filename is twrp-2.8.4.1.img)

Thank you for your time and effort to help.

Hey,
I'm new to all of this so I really don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I got the normal Moto G running on 4.4.4, unlocked bootloader and rooted.
I've read that if no system files are changed I can just normally update the phone. So I flashed stock recovery (I had CWM before) using MotoTool AiO. But when I want to enter recovery it just gives me the "No Command." screen.
Only other thing I have different is, that I deleted some preinstalled Google and Motorola apps.
When I try to update the phone it just reboots after about 10 seconds telling me the update failed. (I always have to download the update again.)
I hope you guys can help me get to 5.0.2.
Thanks
You need certain Motorola Apps on your phone before the OTA update will work. Also, it's best to be unrooted.
Is there a way to restore the Motorola Apps? With the app i deleted them I can't, because I deleted them completely. (I didn't thought I would need them again.)
I'm not sure if you can find the proper APKs.
It may be easier to just flash back to stock and take the OTA update.
Okay, so I tried to get back a custom recovery so I can flash 4.4.4, but the problem is I still only get the no command screen when entering the recovery.
First I tried flashing CWM with the MotoTool AiO, but I still couldn't enter recovery, so I tried Philz Recovery, but I got the same problem there.
How the hell can I get a recovery, so I can flash 4.4.4?
You need to flash a completely stock ROM, including recovery.
You should download the stock 4.4.4 ROM for your phone and manually flash each partition using fastboot or mfasboot commands.
I tried it with help of this thread.
But it always says i can't find the command mfastboot and with the command fastboot it tells me it can't find the files and when I'm entering the folder it says it can't find the command. And even if I move the extracted files to the same folder (Where the fastboot.exe is) it tells me the files can't be found...
Like I said I'm new to all of this and little more detailed help would be appreciated
PS:
I still got the same .zip with the stock 4.4.4 I used to flash the first time (After that I deleted the system apps)
And in this .zip is an app folder with all the apks, so is there a fast way to just reinstall all of them?
Enable USB debugging and use the Moto AIO tool's Utilities tab to flash APKs to your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635706
In MotoTool when I'm in fastboot it tells me device not found (Minimal ADB and Fastboot can find my device, and yestery MotoTool could find it, too. USB-Debugging is active.) and when the phone is normally stared in the cmd window it tells me [failed] ... (Can't read the rest, because the window closes instantly), but MotoTool says the installation worked
You need to be booted into ROM in order to use the APK installer.
When installing an APK, you may be prompted on the phone screen to allow your computer to have access to the phone.
Okay I managed to flash 4.4.4 and then I could update to 5.0.2, thanks for the help.
That's great. Glad I could be of some help.
EDIT
-------------
Thanks for the support from the people below but I have now solved my origonal issue. TWRP didn't seem to be working with me so I downloaded MOTO G 4G/Peregrine Easy Recovery (Credit to the absolute legend who made that) and then installed ClockworkMod instead, which worked perfectly. I have now succsessfully installed CM12 onto myMoto G 4G. If anyone has the same issue and want's some help, just message me.
I am trying to get CM12 into my Moto G 2013 (xt1032) and have hit a problem which I don't know how to solve. I successful unlocked the biitloader on my phone, and attempted to root it. After many different methods, I finally got my phone rooted (not sure which method actually did this) however, I also tried to install TWRP on my phone, and I now don't have a working recovery on my phone.
I have tried all the root apps of installing a recovery, as well as 3 or 4 similarpc methords and non seem to work. I either get the no command screen, or the failed to boot error. If anymore detail is needed, just ask.
If anyone has any ideas on what I can do, I would be very grateful. My desired outcome is to either have TWRP or the Stock Recovery Working and also a working methord on how to install CM12. This is my first time at rooting a phone so please be considerate of the language used in any responses.
Thanks, Dan
I usually use fastboot and a PC but if you are wanting to use an app and are already rooted I have used TWRP manager available in the play store with out issue
TWRP manager is the solution, but I gnrally recommend you to do it using fastboot on a pc

How would I do this? I have fastboot already installed if that is what I need.
Also, what can I do to get the default 'recovery mode' back onto my phone. At the moment, I just get an 'Unable to Boot' error pop up.
Thanks for the quick reply.
https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_falcon#Installing_recovery_using_fastboot
You just need to download recovery file on your computer (I recommend it), boot to bootloader, either by using adb reboot bootloader or by holding Volume Down & Power simultaneously. Then you have to connect phone to your PC (if you haven't done it yet) and flash recovery using fastboot by command "fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img".

After doing this with TWRP, using the same method, I get an 'Unable to Boot' message. I have now however descovered MotoTool AIO and Moto G 4G EasyRecovery which I will try. (Credit to all developers who created that software)
UPDATE!!
I have now fixed my issue and have CM12 installed. Please read the edit in the first post for more infomation. Thanks to everyone who helped.
This is my first thread so please help a newbie out.
I've met a terrible fate. I was not thinking and ended up clearing the system files in twrp. I tried to reboot into twrp through recovery mode but it just bootloops instead of launching twrp. I've tried to re flash twrp through adb on my computer but I don't know if I have the right drivers. There are no "!" symbols and I really don't know how to reinstall twrp so i can flash a stock android os. My bootloader is unlocked but when i type "adb devices" into "minimal adb and fastboot" it doesn't display the tablet.
I didnt had either <!> on my device but it was working..i messed up also in my first touch it dont worry.. if you type <fastboot devices> i think you will see your device if the drivers are ok..adb is for root mostly..
you need to download (and extract the stock rom with cygwin) and flash it with fastboot!

I reflashed the stock images with fastboot so now it's all good. I can't notice the difference in the battery drain compared to the marshmallow update. In other words the battery life is pretty poor. Any ideas for the battery?
