- you need boot unlocked + clockworkmod recovery. do you have backups in sdcard?
- with fast boot you can flash boot and system
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
you can find that files searching nandroids backups for your device

Odin works great and if you are afraid or dont know how to use odin
another thing you could do if you dont have any roms or nandroid on sdcard and you wipe data is load clockwork and go to "mounts and storage" select "mount sdcard" plug your USB from computer in and you will be able to drag and drop rom onto you sd card from clockwork and install that way

SD Card Snafu--No System.img

Hi all,
recently, I was able to flash the new JB Hydro but it was stuck on the boot animation so I decided to do a full fresh install of a different rom, maybe CM10. Therefore via fastboot I wiped everything.
'fastboot erase recovery'
'fastboot erase boot'
'fastboot erase system'
'fastboot erase userdata'
Now, I figure I should be able to boot by flashing my system.img and boot.img
('fastboot flash recovery cwm.img'
'fastboot flash boot boot.img'
'fastboot flash system system.img')
I have CWM Recovery flashed already..buut, i am unable to flash the boot.img and system.img because I cannot find them..I mean when i extract the .zip to the fastboot folder all i have is a system folder, boot.blob and some META info..I flashed the boot.blob (fastboot flash boot boot.blob) but i cannot do the same for the system..So please tell me how I can flash the system.img...because I am unable to find the system.img (even via explorer)
Thanks in advance.

[Q] How long does it usually take to flash 10MB stock recovery?

HI there. I want to update the latest OTA for UK (bought my phone from amazon.co.uk)
So I downloaded Blur_Version.174.44.9.falcon_umts.Retail.en.GB kitkat version since I have 4.4 and extracted it and tried to install stock recovery over not working TWRP. So I did fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
This is what I see in windoze terminal:
Code:
>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (10240 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.375s]
writing 'recovery'...
This is what I see in fastboot:
Code:
cmd: getvar:partition-type:recovery
cmd: getvar:max-download-size
cmd: download:00a00000
cmd: flash:recovery
What could be wrong with not properly installing stock recovery?

Where can I get stock recovery for xt1032 bought from amazon.co.uk running kitkat?
I have no problem installing TWRP (which is buggy in my case and has not features of backing up or restoring).

It happens the same with Blur_Version.14.71.8.falcon_umts.Retail.en.GB jelly bean version.
Any ideas where I can get stock recovery for xt1032?
Found one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616399
However I get the same as with previous ones:
Code:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (10240 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.378s]
writing 'recovery'...

Hmmm...no solution for your problem atm.
But you'll find the stock recovery in the zip you've downloaded.
So just extract recovery.img
....maybe something ist wrong with the partition.
If you want you can try to erase it:
fastboot erase recovery

If I erase partition, will fastboot flash recovery recovery.img recreate it? Or do I have to create it by hand before I try to flash new recovery?

I tried and it's the same. I can't flash stock recovery. It hangs at
Code:
writing 'recovery'...
So for me as I have rooted, unlocked bootloader and encrypted. The only solution for installing newst update that fixes loss of signal is to:
1) factory reset my phone -> loose encryption
2) try to install stock recovery afterwards?
or:
1) Follow this guide for installing stock recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47820707#post47820707
which will also have stock recovery or not? And do I have to factory reset before I perform this (due to my phone being encrypted) or not?
Doesn't factory reset needs working recovery?

With awesome user on @freenode, awesome user @utkanos helped me with ditching /data by making f2fs file system:
1) go to recover (in my case broken TWRP)
2) adb shell (from OS)
3) mkfs.f2fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata (from OS)
All done. Reboot and you are out of encryption and all user data and apps. Will try to flash stock recovery now.
edit1: tried to flash it with fastboot command but it hanged like in all previous attempts. So I installed OTA even thoug I had philz recovery. The effect was like that that it went to philz recovery and wrote about this signature is not ok.... I taped ignore and it did go to a ahalf of bar progress and then just rebooted and went into system. After couple of seconds it just rebooted and the procedure repeated itself.
edit2: Managed to flash it with mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
FINALYY! And then it installed update properly 176.44.1.en.GB rooted, unlocked

Need help to install stock ROM on Moto G 2013 Falcon

Hi guys,
Im from the UK and I have a Moto G XT1032 device which was running Cyanogenmod 12 up until yesterday when I decided to re-install the stock rom. Unfortunately, I have well and truly botched it. The current situation is that I have TWRP set up as the recovery image, so I can get into 'AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)' OR into TWRP.
I accidentally wiped the 'system' via TWRP which seems to have caused most of my problems. I have tried to install the stock rom using a flashable zip (which failed) and I have also tried around 10 times to install the stock rom using the fastboot commands:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
#fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
When I try to do a basic wipe using TWRP, this is what shows up: hxxps://s27.postimg.org/r1dax21mb/falcon.jpg (change xx for tt, I don't yet have 10 posts so I cannot post links)
I just cannot seem to get the stock rom installed and booting no matter what I try. Can someone please work with me to get this sorted?
I would very, very much appreciate the help.
Thank you

Ok so i've managed to fix the 'unable to mount storage' issue via TWRP. I changed 'data' to EXT4 and I don't get any errors now.
But the problem is, for whatever reason, I am just unable to install a stock rom. I've used tutorials and still cannot seem to get a stock rom to load/work.
I used fastboot to install the rom files is this zip: XT1032_FALCON_TESCOGBSL_5.1_LPBS23.13-56-2_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
When I do a normal boot it gets stuck on 'Warning bootloader unlocked'
When I go to 'recovery', it boots up to a dead android which says 'no command'
When I go to factory restore, it gets stuck on the 'Warning bootloader unlocked' screen
What am I doing wrong?
edit: I even tried sideloading cyanogenmod and it said it was successful, but then it boots up to TWRP. Totally confused! In desperate need of help.
EDIT: I have now made progress. Here are my basic instructions:
put all the files from the zip file in a folder
put mfastboot.exe files into the same folder
install TWRP, erase
run bat file (add/remove sparse depending on files)
reboot and wait. Should work
I have managed to install the OS but wifi isn't working. And i'm now learning about a file called persist that I need to look into regarding wifi.
