Moto G 4G/LTE stuck in bootloop after upgrading kernel - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
So I've been playing around with Sabermod. Tried to install it, but had to update bootloader. Did that, everything still worked fine. Then I tried to upgrade my Kernel with Beeto's kernel, which is downloadable in that post. I did that using this guide from XDA-University with CWM. Since I did that, my phone is stuck in a boot loop.
Every few minutes I see the "bootloader unlocked"-screen, with just a black screen in between.
Ok, I have just now been able to reboot back into CWM recovery by using ADB command line tools. But I have no idea where to go from here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rubb
Edit: I have the XT1039, also known as Peregrine
Edit: I fixed it!
So I think the problem was that I flashed the kernel made specifically for this ROM, but tried to reboot the phone before installing the ROM. I managed to get into recovery with adb, then I flashed the kernel again, I did a full wipe, flashed the ROM, flashed Gapps, rebooted the phone. And it worked.
Thanks _that for your help!

Try "adb pull /proc/last_kmsg" to get the previous kernel log. Then install a working kernel (should be part of most ROMs).

Adb can't find my device now it is in recovery mode. I'm a bit afraid to move out of recovery mode as I might not be able to get back in. What's the best way to install a kernel? Is just flashing the zip with CWM good? When I flashed the zip of Beeto's kernel. The log said: "Bricking device. Installation successful. Have fun." I suppose that was meant to be funny and not serious? I hope

I don't know about CWM, but TWRP enables adb by default. Maybe you need to install drivers on your PC, or use Linux.

I just thought about something. So I flashed Beeto's Kernel, but I didn't flash his ROM, the stock ROM is still on the phone. Could this be why he's stuck in bootloop ? Would it work if I now flash SaberMOD?

Make sure you are not plugged into your pc when you boot to recovery! - if that doesn't solve it ..
Does the phone boot to the existing Rom, do you have Rom manager installed? - if so update the recovery from Rom Manager. I found that after rooting the One S using the toolkit I could not get in to recovery, the update from Rom Manager sorted it!
All the best :good:

i tried before to get in to recovery mode without USB(plugged to my computer or to charger) and still same problem.
and i dont have any rom manager.
i got HTC one S only with Unlocked phone and recovery(that doesnt work), so i think i need root for rom manager.
got something else?

Had same issue with the tool kit, the cwm didnt stick. The Touch work one did stick and I was able to get into recovery. However I downloaded the app ROM MANAGER and flashed the recovery from there. Since then I've had no issues booting into reocvery or bootloader. Just download rom manager and go about it that way!

Which recoveries have you tried, and what version of phone do you have (S3 or S4). These must match.
Make sure you bootloader unlocked OK, check in bootloader screen, should say Unlocked.
The problem youre describing sound like when you try to boot after successfully flashing a ROM but forgot to or the kernel failed to flash with it. Only happens when ROM and kernel are mismatched enough that it wont boot, fex flashing CM9 and still on HTC original kernel. Try flashing the kernel from the ROM zip file with
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You can also try booting a recovery without installing it,
Code:
fastboot boot nameofrecoveryfile.img

If you have working ADB and fastboot working (there is a sticky by user fibsib that explains this) you can make sure your phone isnt really just trying to boot the OS and failing rather than trying to enter recovery with the command
Code:
adb reboot recovery
But anyways figure out which version you have before doing anything more, flash the wrong stuff and you could break stuff. There are good info here as to how to see if you have the Ville=Z520e=S4 processor model or the Ville C2/Z560e/S3 processor model.
Then download a recovery for your phone model and install it with this command from your computer
Code:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryyoudownloaded.img
Should work.
have you actually flashed a recovery yet?
which one and how did you do it?
Make sure you have your phone updated to the latest software version before you root. Download system update OTA and click update.
Otherwise you will have issues.
I am rooted T-Mobile phone with original software 1.54 and still can not do recovery or update, it is probably me but it is difficult.
If you are in the US, make sure you use the US version in the development section after you upgrade your phone. Update then try to root it might be easier.

[Q] Nexus S 4G Unlocked, Unrooted Broken Recovery

Hi,
I had before the OTA for Jelly Bean an ICS unlocked and rooted.
I tried to use ShabbyPenguin to get it rooted again but now I have a broken recovery.
So not sure what do I need to get it rooted again.. Is it possible?
Thanks!
Not positive, but could u flash cwm through adb? Then just flash a rooted ROM, or supuser.zip. Is the bootloader is still unlocked?
Haven't heard good stuff about root toolkits, its actually really easy to do for our phones.
Not sure if it is possible to flash cwm trough adb... However I will try it later today...
And yes, bootloader is still unlocked...

Yeah, I am positive u could use adb fast boot to flash a recovery, cwm or twrp u just need the image.
hhhmmmm... no luck yet...
I tried to flash a recovery and it keeps giving me a message
<waiting for device>
After that it seems like stuck..
I read somewhere else that maybe because of the drivers, but I already tried a couple of versions 1.3.8 and 1.5.6 with the same result...
btw I'm using a Windows 7 64 bit machine...
Not sure if use a Linux machine will have any benefit...

Off but on topic. Describe what you call a broken a recovery please.
When I try to run the recovery it appears a dead android with a red exclamation mark on the screen....
After that it takes some time to reboot again...

That is stock recovery. It is not broken.
Yes I was saying it was broken because before the OTA update I had twrp as recovery, and now I can't flash any recovery

When you flash/install a ota your recovery gets wiped back to stock once it boots up due to the flash recovery script in the stock ROM.
Nothing is wrong with your device. Just follow a real guide on how to unlock and root. Real meaning using the SDK. Or even use one of those stupid one click crap. should not have a issue.
Guides are in the forum stickies.
Hi Guys,
Well not sure what the problem was.... maybe the drivers, maybe Win7 64 bits or I don't what...
I used a WinXP machine with the pdanet installed and it worked like charm...
I succesfully installed the recovery and root again.
Anyway... thanks for your time.
Glad to hear that.

Moto G Rooted and unlocked, No custom rom works, backup has "bad MD5"

Ive tried CM 11, C-Rom, Pac-Man, and PA.
I have to sideload them using CWM's install from sideload, I reboot and it just gets stuck on the loading screen, for every single ROM.
And now somehow my backup is corrupted and I cant install that either.
I've been searching for hours, how do I fix this.
Is there a stock Boost mobile rom somewhere I could try? Nothing seems to be working except for CWM.
Thanks in advance.

Here are the stock ROMs to be flashed in fastboot: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
Thank you ill try that right away!
Do I install it from cwm? There doesnt seem to be an option to install it from fastboot, Just the following:
Normal Powerup
Recovery
Factory
Switch Console
Barcodes
BP Tools
I got some MoKee Build and it actually booted but was full of errors and app crashes.

You're welcome. Make sure you flash the version you had before. Downgrading can be a pain.
Once your stock ROM is restored, you can flash a custom recovery and ROM again
I cant really get the flashboot commands working, adb doesnt see my device in fastboot mode. Ill have to keep trying. Its odd how Ive gotten two roms to boot, but the background apps kept crashing.
Thanks
I got it, I extracted the stock firmware zip in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder, and instead of mfastboot, I just used fastboot, And its loading the stock moto globe now.
Hopefully this thread helps others who might be in my situation.
Thanks Dalek kuchen!

TWRP wiping issue

Hi, I was running Lollypop with franco kernel on my Nexus 5. I wanted to change my rom but sadly i wiped the cache, system and dalvik without copying the rom I had to flash into my nexus. I have a TWRP. Windows doesn't recognize my nexus and if i try to install throught my otg cable i got an error who says E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path *hammerhead image.zip*
What can I do?
You need to get windows to detect your device.
Go to my adb and fastboot thread (general > sticky roll-up) and install the universal drivers.

When I plug my nexus in my pc it says aosp hammehead in Device Manager, but when I try to update my drivers it says it's impossible to find them (I obviusly followed the guide and copied them in c:adb)
Aosp hammerhead when booted into recovery?
Yes, I didn't turn off my phone or reboot it since the wipe because when I try to do it TWRP says No Os installed! are you sure yuoi wish to reboot?
Turn MTP mode on in TWRP
Ok now I can see my nexus, I tried to copy the image there but I still get E:Mount error
Where is the error?
In the prhone when I go in the TWRP->Install->choose the hammeread zip image->Swipe to confirm flash-> it gives that error and says failed
What exactly are you copying to the phone?
image-hammerhead-lrx22c, who I found in hammerhead-lrx22c-factory-0f9eda1b, which I downloaded from google

That's not a flashable ROM.zip
If you want a stock, recovery flashable ROM to flash, go to general > sticky roll-up > section 6 - resources and download a flashable zip by vomer
I see, so I have to dowload the rom, the Rom, the radio and superSU, then flash them in the same order, right?

Just ROM and if you want root, yes SuperSU. Not really sure what end result you're looking for. Flash radio of you like.
As you probably understood, It's my first time doing that. Well, second, but the other time I had a friend with me. What I want to do is first of all get my phone working again, and hopefully that should do the trick. Then I'd like to install a custom kernel (ElementalX) and that's pretty much all I want.

You'll be fine with this, I'm confident.
I hope so! In 4 minutes I'll have the N5_LRX22C.zip, wich I will flash. To be sure, correct me if I'm wrong, I have to Install throught the TWRP, than flash supersu and in the end install the kernel zip from the recovery, right?
Yes, you can flash supersu after the kernel and I'm sure it will work (some kernels require supersu to be flashed after and reflashed every time you update kernel)

Elemental X will be fine though so as long as ROM goes first, rest is fine...

Unresponsive touch screen in TWRP - how can install a ROM?

So I am not an entire noob when it comes to these things, I've flashed ROMs on phones for 8 years now, but this Moto G7 Power screwed me up good.
I tried installing CrDroid from this post. I didn't even notice the A/B part at first, I went through all the usual steps, I booted TWRP, then flashed it, rebooted into the installed TWRP, flashed CrDroid, GApps and Magisk and rebooted, hoping to start Android up. At that part it all screwed up. The phone didn't boot AT ALL, and after a while I found that blankflash zip file and managed to get into the bootloader again. The only thing I can do now is boot into TWRP, not flash, and when I boot, the touchscreen does not work.
So, where do I go from here? I now only have an unlocked bootloader to play with. What are the exact steps to flash the firmware? Why do I need to flash firmware to slot A anyway? Isn't or wasn't there firmware out of the box on the device? The guides for this phone are vague and people write really short and rambling sentences in the steps and mention certain files out of the blue without explanation or download link.
1 - Which firmware file do I need? I have an XT1955-4 bought in a Dutch shop called Belsimpel with no sim. I assume it's an international variant. Here is a download list of all the firmware variants, but how do I know which one to pick? Will it wipe things like IMEI data? The box says the type is M3C94, and it seems to be this international variant.
2 - In the bootloader, what commands do I need to put into adb when I want to flash the firmware to partition A?
3 - When I boot into TWRP, my touchscreen does not work, so how can I even use it?
4 - The 'guide' in the CrDroid thread suddenly mentions copypartitions.zip. What is that file, and why do I need to flash it? It says I have to flash it in Slot A. Does TWRP give options to switch slots? I wish I could check but since my touch screen doesn't work in TWRP..
5 - During the actual ROM install part, the guide says Flash ROM.zip + TWRP_installer/boot.img ramdisk method Why do I need to install TWRP again? And what is the ramdisk method? How do you do that?
Can someone please explain in detail step by step what I need to do?

1. go to settings - system - about phone check build number, this is the firmware you'll need
2. there's a thread here regarding that matter check again
3. I'm not aware of this issue
4. you'll only need to flash that file once coming from stock rom - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261636295
5. because it be overwritten by lineage recovery.
ramdisk method is just another way of installing twrp back when we still dont have the installer zip

I only have the boot loader, no stock ROM. I wiped that when I tried installing CrDroid, as I have written in my post. So I can't check my firmware if I don't have ROM installed. And I know which thread you mean because I linked the list of firmware from that thread in my post.

From the desktop search in this one I couldn't find it: https://t.me/OrangeFoxRecovery I didn't know there was a separate chat for each device. But thanks.
FWIW when this happened to me I did the blankflash thing to get it back to bootloader. Then I used the LMSA tool from Motorola to do a rescue/restore.
I also used LMSA to force the update to the most recent security update. In general, it seems a very useful utility.
https://www.motorola.com/us/lenovo-motorola-smart-assistant
I had this issue after blankflashing this temperamental device out of a brick. While in twrp you can do "adb shell" then "twrp install /path/to/zip" I think this has to do with new twrp versions on older firmwares

When i had this issue go reboot fastboot
then fastboot boot recovery.img or twrp as your boot img do what you need to do just dont flash it to boot only boot from it so you preserve your real boot should fix the touch screen part only time i had prob like this is when i flashed twrp to recovery without disabling dm verity etc. But I cant even get a stock OTA since I flashed twrp as recovery nor can I find a RETUS stock recovery.img so far if i had that I can update and keep magisk etc, then reflash twrp when im done.

But I cannot locate a stock recovery.img thus far.... and I dont wanna redownload my apps right now, so I may just wait til I see a rom i really think ill like and say screw it.

I also installed crDroid and after that twrp-3.3.1-2-ocean.img was not responding to touch, but twrp-3.3.1-0-ocean.img works. (btw I was doing a fastboot -w in between.)
Edit:
Ah nevermind, I have it constantly when installed, with both versions.

I've flashed another stock rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-power/how-to/guide-moto-g7-power-supra-flash-to-t3927138) and it worked with twrp-3.3.1-0-ocean.img not with the newest.

2 - In the bootloader, what commands do I need to put into adb when I want to flash the firmware to partition A?

You use fastboot commands in the bootloader.
The firmware contains a flash file with all fastboot commands you'll need.

3 - When I boot into TWRP, my touchscreen does not work, so how can I even use it?

TWRP has adb enabled by default. So instead of TWRP you can use
Code:
abd shell twrp --help
So you can use the basic functions like backup, install, and so on.
I had the same issue...
I'm not sure everyone is experiencing the same issue here, but I've been dealing with that exact problem the entire time I've had this phone. While this work around won't work every time, it will eventually work (for me within 3 tries). It doesn't matter if your "fastboot boot twrp.img" or running an installed version, all are the same. Even the latest 3.4.0.0.
As soon as you start recovery, start tapping the area of the screen where the "Advanced button" is in recovery. I mean tap as fast as you can, use two fingers if you need to. If it doesn't work right away, "adb reboot bootloader" and try again. I can get this to work within 3 tries. Its sucks and its stupid, but it works.

Again not everyone is experiencing this same issue. A custom kernel isn't going to help when its incompatible with my ROM. My stupid workaround works for "No Touch Screen Response" in TWRP as well as OrangeFox. Its happened to me in both. Happily cruising along on Paranoid Android Quartz.

The problem with the touch is the right driver needs to b installed that kernel I shared makes it work and stick I'm on it now go to tellagram group Moto g7 power support group both twrp and ofox there that works not the one from twrp it's self and the twrp there has some other features that one from official one has that don't work
This boot image gave me a touchscreen and allowed me to flash a regular twrp: hxxps://f.emvn.me/android-roms-and-stuff/twrp.3.4-kakarot.boot.img
