Hello there. I'm new and I have a problem upgrading to 5.0 from kitkat. I barely know anything about cellphones and my friend was helping me out before this happened.
So the background story was this:
My cellphone (Moto G LTE XT1040) was not showing the push notifications so after digging, I looked for some solutions that required a rooted cellphone, so I did it.
I unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom recovery (TWRP), then I installed SuperSU to make the cellphone root and tinkered around with the solutions to the push notifications issue, and left the cellphone untouched after.
Just this week, I recieved the upgrade to android 5.1 and before installing it I unrooted the cellphone, uninstalled SuperSu, flashed it with stock recovery and then a factory reset it. That should clean everything, but it turns out that after 2 failed tries, It doesnt install the upgrade. The cellphone shuts down and it shows that it tries to install the upgrade but the bar fills up until around 15% and a quick error message displays and it restarts normally.
Should I just install the stock rom (the 500 mb file) so all functions and settings go back to true default?
Thanks beforehand and sorry for the bad english

I made an account to solve my problem here, therefore you guys would do me a HUGE favor if you solve my problem here..
I have a GT-I9505 that I bought 2 years ago and flashed the Lollipop 5.0.1 ROM via odin about a month ago, a few days later I rooted my phone via Kingo ROOT and everything was working fine but my date & time keeps changing to February 2014.
Two days ago I tried booting into Recovery Mode for the first time after rooting and I see that Android laying down with a red caution sign, I clicked on "reboot system now" and that's when my problem started. (it's not a custom recovery like TWRP, just the regular one)
As soon as I rebooted my phone I get a BLANK SCREEN with "Unfortunately, ........... has stopped", more like it was like this for all of my apps. I couldn't find a way to solve this but then I resorted to extracting my files and then factory resetting my phone, unfortunately I couldn't find a solution to access my phone until a miracle happened and made my phone working again. Everything went well till today when I tried rebooting into recovery mode but the SAME exact problem happened, what to do here? I have no problem of resetting my phone again but I don't want the same problem again.

OK so please please help me out here. I have a moto g xt1064 and I first installed twrp to flash titan prime ROM 1.0.2 beta and everything was good for about a month or two and then the phone apps started stopping and crashing especially the Google apps (unfortunately, play store has stopped)
So I restored it back to stock 4.4.4 and it was fine for along time and then the apps started crashing again. I literally can't even factory reset or even enable USB debugging. It won't let me install twrp, every time I try to install twrp with adb and fast boot it says its finished but when I go to recovery its still the stock recovery. I tried to install every single ROM and it still won't let me! I don't think its bricked because it powers on and everything. please for the love of phones help me out. Plz answer me

Lenovo a328 (rooted) Not booting after OTA update.(Stuck at "Optimizing app 1 of 76)
Yesterday i got a notification about a new update on my rooted lenovo a328. I searched about updating a rooted phone and came to that I could unroot , then update, and reroot it again. I used Kinguser to unroot. But for my dumbness, i didnt check if it was actually unrooted and proceeded to update,after the update it booted to recovery and showed update not succesful. It's the first time i have ever confronted a recovery screen , i panicked and selected something with 'adb from', it showed this screen for a long time, I removed the battery (I dont have any knowledge on Recovery other than it's existence). And after it when I booted, it shows the 'lenovo' thing at the start and then shows 'Optimizing App 1 of 76' and nothing happens, it's stuck at it. Please help me on fixing this. I am ready to learn about recovery and other things that might be needed on fixing this.

Hi everyone,
I own a Motorola Moto G2 (XT1068, dual sim) that came used with Android 6.0 on it.
I installed TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-3-titan.img) on it but failed to root Android 6.0 as well as 5.0 for whatever not yet understood reason. I don't do Android development for a living but I'm an IT professional, so handling adb and fastboot as well as reading and understanding instructions isn't a problem.
I flashed stock Android 4.4.4 (RETDEALL_XT1068_4.4.4_KXB21.85-14) which I successfully rooted by installing SuperSU via TWRP.
Next I updated SuperSU, verified that root access is indeed working and installed FlashFire, which I hoped to use to install OS upgrades, possibly without losing root. FlashFire is new to me (as of yesterday), everything else mentioned up to here is not.
I used the "Flash ZIP or OTA" action from within FlashFire and the previously downloaded update file in the /cache directory. I can't reproduce the file name since the phone is currently unusable and I didn't write the file name down prior to using FlashFire.
The state of the phone after this unsuccessful attempt was that of a broken USB device, i.e. unable to even register as whatever type of USB device. I learned that this can be fixed by holding the power button down for more than one minute, after which I managed to
get the phone to be shown as working "RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008" USB serial device in Windows 7 device manager.
I used the information in these two threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-unbrick-moto-g-falcon-t3394788
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-revive-hard-bricked-moto-g-t2833798
Since I started with Android 4.4.4 trying to upgrade to 5.0, I had hoped that the blank flash package for one of these Android versions would help fix my problem, but as of now, this doesn't seem to be the case. At the end of the blank flashing process, I get the message
FAILED <blank-flash:sdl-transfer-image:sdl-hello: error sending packet>
After that, the phone still has a black screen and cannot boot into anything. Repeating blank flash works after resetting whatever part of it is still working by holding the power button down for about 30+ seconds.
Is there anything obvious (or maybe even not so obvious) that I missed?
Thanks for reading and any help and/or pointers in the right direction.
