Can't update to Marshmallow - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Every time I try to flash a MM ROM, I never get past the boot logo. It just continues on for 30 minutes before I finally turn it off with the 10 second power button hold. Then I don't have an OS and TWRP shows no files so I can't restore - it looks like the internal SD card was wiped. I figured out to make a nandroid over OTG so I could restore, but I have the same result trying to flash any MM ROM. I have tried to first flash plain CM, as well as the firmware/modem files beforehand, but that has not worked. I updated to TWRP 2.8.6.0 with no difference. Any ideas?

Hum. To me it sounds/feels like when I've tried to update, but forgot to flash the new modem... but you have tried that. I'd go back to TWRP 2.8.6, flash your old rom/modem, and see if you can get back there... and are able to boot into system
then if that works, full wipe, flash MM, the modem, google package and reboot.

I tried again a few days ago and was successful flashing to marshmallow using a plain CM13 rom. It was okay, but not an improvement over the LP rom I was using, and with less features, so I tried to nandroid back to LP. I kept getting an error with TWRP Restore. It looked like I was stuck on MM. I messed around in TWRP and changed system and data to EXT4 (figuring they were now F2FS and that was the problem). This worked. Once I formatted to EXT4, I was able to restore over OTG. Formatting to EXT4 wiped my internal memory so it was lucky I had a backup on OTG.

TWRP

When I attempt to go to Cofface's Baidu page to download his 5.1 TWRP version, I get a message saying the content is no longer available. Specifically, Google Translate shows "Lol, you visit the page does not exist." Does anyone happen to have a copy they're willing to share? Or is there some issue with the 5.1 version that would suggest that I shouldn't use it? If I shouldn't ask for some reason, I apologize. Otherwise, thanks in advance.

Thanks very much for the link! I think I must have some deeper problems, as every time I flash this recovery (and another version I found in my old downloads), I just get stuck in a boot loop. I was able to use TWRP when I was on B015, but for some reason, I can't get it to work on B106. I'm using:
fastboot flash recovery c:\android\twrp_cn.img
However, like I said I just get stuck in a boot loop. When I flash the stock recovery, everything starts working again.

Did you unlock your bootloader?
Yes, it is. I was able to run TWRP when I was on B015. The phone is rooted, so I've just been using Titanium Backup to back everything up before I wipe the phone, but it would be nice to take a Nandroid backup instead of having to reinstall from TB.

Thats the same problem I have. I used the other twrp recovery https://mega.nz/#!l5kmUByA!41uExNuasZRgLBML9TTSp8myX-_F6UgQZuE2F2BRZUE
This one worked with out boot loops for me. you can give it a shot.
Thanks for the link! I can now get into TWRP. However (sadly), after I leave TWRP, it reboots directly back to TWRP. I've tried rebooting from TWRP into the system and shutting down, but each time, it just goes straight back to TWRP. I was able to boot into fastboot, so I reflashed the boot.img file, but it still goes straight to TWRP. I actually have had this issue before, and I wasn't ever able to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as usual.

I had that exact same problem twice on Kangvip B015. When I would restart it would all of a sudden automatically boot into TWRP every time and never boot into the OS. When that happens, in TWRP make a backup, then Fastboot flash the stock ROM (system, boot, cust, recovery, user data etc) then when it boots do a factory data reset, then reroot, flash TWRP and restore from the backup you made. The OS will boot from your backup. I dunno why this happens, maybe it has something to do with with Kernel.
I've tried it a couple of times now, and I'm still not getting it to boot past TWRP once I flash the recovery. It was able to take a backup with TWRP, but when I restored it, I still had to restore the stock recovery before I could boot into the system. At worst, at this point, I can always flash TWRP, take a backup, flash the stock recovery, and then have my system back. It's a few extra steps, but I think I'll do this until I find a custom ROM that I like. I greatly appreciate the help so far.

Reflash the stock b106 recovery and wipe user data and cache, Then reflash twrp recovery and restore your backup. It should boot then.
To follow up, I tried using the updated version of TWRP that you (mtyler7807) posted in the development thread and following the instructions above. I can flash the recovery, boot into it, and take a backup. After that, as long as I boot into the system, I'm fine. However, once I boot into recovery for the first time after that initial backup, it just reboots into TWRP every time. So, right now, I took a backup a day or so ago, and I've just avoided going back in to TWRP again. I have another X2 on the way (a 32GB version), so I'm hoping that I'll have better luck with that one.

By any chance, did you delete anything from the Cust Folder at any point?

As far as I know, I have not. I did do a complete wipe of everything (except the SD card) at one point using TWRP, but I've always restored the system using the stock system.img file. Right now, the Cust folder is showing five folders, with several more folders/files underneath. Is there a particular file I should be checking for?

I don't think so. It's weird how some of us have different problems than others. I've had zero issues with TWRP but lately my screen has been going crazy. My touches don't work, things jump it's like my digitizer is messed up but when I restart everything is fine again. So I reloaded everything and the problem went away. I guess I debloated too much last time.

HELP! No SIM card detected after update

Hello! I've been running the CM13 nightly from Dec 26.
Today i downloaded the Dec 30 nightly.
I had the phone in airplane mode when I rebooted into TWRP to flash the nightly along with the xposed v78 sdk23.
After rebooting my simcard wasn't detected anymore.
It clearly is a software problem, and rebooting or wiping cache/dalvik didn't solve my problem.
I hope you can help me
Same boat. No SIM
No SIM card detected here as well after the 123015 update. I am not using the custom kernel nor was I in airplane mode when I flashed.
Tried rebooting a couple times. Removed SIM card and replaced. Couldn't get it to recognize.
Same problem here with the 123015 update. Reverting to old roms did not work.
just use search ...
you probably use twrp 2.8.6.1 or greater, so new modem firmware in 30/12 nightly is not updated correctly, if you use cm, use cm recovery too or twrp 2.8.6.0! and update rom again
reflash old firmware and it will be back.
its a combination of bad luck and bad flash on the recovery you are using.
use twrp 2.8.7.6.0.
That one is not prone to bad flashes of firmware
no need to restore efs cause the bad flash can be corrected

Where do I find the 'old firmware'

just back to 29/12 nightly, flash correct recovery and again flash 30/12
I'm also having this issue, but it happened under different circumstances:
I was using the last CM12.1 nightly (2015-11-21).
On a previous occasion I had clean-flashed the CM13 nightly (2015-12-10), however it was freezing and crashing quite a lot so I decided to wait a bit, and restored my CM12.1 build (after making a nandroid back-up of my CM13 build).
Yesterday (2015-12-30) I thought I'd see how the CM13 builds were going, so restored my CM13 backup... This is when my phone refused to recognise my sim card. On top of this, it would randomly reboot for no apparent reason. I updated to the latest CM13 nightly (2015-12-30) but these problems weren't fixed.
I then decided to restore my CM12.1 build (which was backed up right before I attempted any of this), however the problems remained. It wouldn't recognise my sim card and would reboot at random.
Since then I have wiped cache + dalvik, cache + dalvik + data, cache + dalvik + system + data + internal memory, done a fresh install, and still the problems persist.
After reading the above posts I'm going to try and roll back my TWRP to 2.8.6.0, but needless to say it's been a very frustrating experience!
If anyone can see anything I'm doing amazingly wrong, please let me know.

in your case your efs may have gotton corrupt, next to a bad flash. Do if flashing old firmware doesnt fix it, restore the backup of efs if you made one to make more confusing you may need a special twrp version to have made the backup on in first place. to make more confusing.
Try this first,official twrp doesnt backup the firmware, so chance is highest you are running cm13firmware and cm12 rom. flash and reboot on recovery official 2.8.6.0, clean and repair system, data, cache. Flash old cm13 and let it boot. Note you should have no(maybe just 2) lines which state after "Writing radio image...")"already up to date
All functioning then score! Proceed with latest nightly
All not functioning efs restore should help. Never made one, follow above and flash back the cm12 rom you have. Same case with firmware updating and booting

I restored my twrp to 2.8.6.0 (after wiping the entire phone previously... urgh), and then flashed the latest nightly. Everything worked again!
I ended up going back to my CM12.1 backup as the TrueCaller CM app keeps crashing in CM13. I could just keep the stock dialer, but I have grown accustomed to knowing who's calling me!
Thanks for your help all!
I get this issue as well.

Hi, I'm stuck. I have tried flashing the twrp-2.8.6.0-bacon.img recovery image file I got from dl.twrp.me. The file matches the MD5 I got from the TWRP website (f69fa503419644851822d883c2388bb8), and I don't see any errors when I do a fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-bacon.img command.
However, when I have tried to boot back into Recovery Mode, my phone just ends up booting into Normal Mode (until my phone gets hung). Doing a fastboot boot twrp-2.8.6.0-bacon.img command didn't get me into Recovery Mode, either. If I go back and do a fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-bacon.img, I can boot back into the 2.8.7.0 TWRP Recovery Mode, but that won't let me get my modem back.
Can anybody help (maybe with a different copy of the twrp-2.8.6.0-bacon.img recovery image)?
Thanks.

Download again via different browser, double check filesize of what you downloaded. It was a bad download sir
You can download on your phone also, same check download size. From twrp where when flashing you can select img. Then select recovery, reboot recovery and your on the one that works

Hi, @Startlinger - I've downloaded twrp-2.8.6.0-bacon.img with three different browsers (Chrome, MS IE, and Firefox). All three images acted the same way: They all matched the MD5 posted on TWRP, and they were all unbootable (either by flashing, or with a fastboot boot twrp-2.8.6.0-bacon.img command). I couldn't download the image to the phone via the internet, because I can't get an internet connection on my OPO anymore - probably because the modem is corrupted. I did copying one of the computer-downloaded 2.8.6.0 images to the phone, and tried flashing the image through TWRP 2.8.7.0, but the results were exactly the same ... it wouldn't boot into Recovery Mode after that.
Is the f69fa503419644851822d883c2388bb8 MD5 value correct? (I suspect it is)
One thing I've noticed is that I can't just power-off my phone anymore when 2.8.6.0 is loaded. If I try to power off, it comes back up in Normal Mode. This may be related to the corrupted 2.8.6.0 Recovery Mode.
Update: I've also noticed something else - I tried doing a fastboot boot twrp-image-file with other versions of TWRP (2.84.1 and 2.8.5.1). None of these boot into Recovery Mode - just the 2.8.7.0 image works.
Is there something else I need to recover on my phone (if it's even possible)? Is there any other way I can reinstall a workable Lollipop 5.0.2 Modem Image onto the phone?
well, thats a first gotjazz.
I would recommend 2.8.7.05 from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087010524
if same results, perhaps best to download latest fastboot rom from cyanogen. Then fastboot your way back to a complete stock situation. Before doing so wipe everything in 2.8.7.0, and repair all partitions that allow repairing.
when fastbooting everything take care in using the 64 if you got 64 gb
After let it boot, check if you can get reception. If that works, fastboot flash recovery of 2.8.6.0. or 2.8.7.05 and go back to whatever rom you want

wiped everything, no OS installed, TWRP restarts on flashing.

Long story short I was running latest nightly of cm13, I decided to flash to cm14 to try nougat. I had backups, during the process I pulled an idiot and wiped everything dalvik, system,data,internal storage,cache . So now I have no backups, I can still get into TWRP and attempt to flash Roms but I've tried countless ones and same outcome, TWRP just restarts half a second after it tries to flash, I've even tried the stock rom with no luck.it starts and gets to MTP enabled installing "name of rom" and then reboots . I've been using a tablet to install the Roms onto an sdcard and then using the sdcard to flash, I'm hoping it's an sdcard issue and I'm waiting to get the laptop to try and put the Roms on internal phone storage and try. I'm hoping I won't have to go back to unroofed stock using kdz tot. If anyone knows what's wrong please help.
Well I tried flashing to stock and can't get into download mode, computer won't recognize phone. So I decided to try updating Twrp flashed the image, rebooted and now I'm stuck on [11050] fast boot mode started. Nothing gets me out of that.

Can't boot after TWRP restore

Hi all,
A couple of days ago I flashed the OTA image for 8.1. Realising I don't have root and not finding a way to root 8.1 yet, I figured, hey, I'll go back to 8.0. Luckily I did a full backup using TWRP before upgrading.
TWRP 3.1.1 was unable to decrypt the filesystem and therefore restore anything (which I've read is a known issue). Neither could 3.2.1, and 3.2.1 couldn't see the OTG drive I have the backup on, either.
At this point I'd already wrecked the OS by trying to restore without first decrypting the filesystem (figured it'd just overwrite it so who cares). So I flashed the latest 8.0 factory image, started it up to make sure it boots, went back into TWRP and restored the full backup from the OTG drive.
This succeeds - but when rebooting all I get is the initial Google logo. Nothing else. No loop, no progress meter, nothing.
Am I missing a step? Anyone?

Had you ever tried restoring the backup before to verify it was stable? Perhaps there was some corruption in the backup file?
Well, it is able to restore the whole thing without an error. I think that counts as verifying that it's not corrupt...
I'm facing the same exact issue. I've got several previous backups of my Pixel, all of 8.1, and if I try restoring any partition except /data they restore successfully and boot as a fresh phone.
Now of course I need my data, but when I try to restore any of my previously backed up /data partitions, they either freeze during restoration or restore successfully. However if they do restore successfully, my phone won't boot anymore. After showing the Google logo, then animated G, it reboots back to recovery.
I tried most things as of now but to no avail. This really sucks!

Literally cannot flash anything

Hi, I've got a XT1032, with the Lollipop bootloader and TWRP 3.0.0 installed, and I have a custom rom I want to flash (https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-aosp-4-4-4-gpe-screen-flickering-t3499889)
When I go to flash the ROM, TWRP says that the zip install went perfectly, but when I boot, it just loads into the stock Lollipop.
Even when I go to my computer and find fastboot devices, fastboot comes up with nothing, even though the Moto is in fastboot, and plugged into my computer.
It's awfully late, I have school tomorrow, and I kinda need my phone with the ROM I want. Please help!
...you have to change data to ext4, wipe everything, then install that rom.
ALSO UPGRADE TO 3.2.3

I have exactly the same issue with my Moto G falcon.
As per your suggestion I have tried to format/change the data partition from f2fs to ext4 via TWRP, but everytime the format process completes successfully but does not change /data to ext4, it still stays stuck at f2fs
- I have tried multiple official twrps for falcon - 3.2.3, 3.2.1, 3.0.2.2 and son on ... nothing works
- I have also tried to format/wipe data with all TWRP version, nothing works
PS: My device was lying dead since a couple of years or so, but it was working fine back in 2017. Could this be a firmware issue?
