Edited the build.prop file by adding 1 line, restarted phone and now I keep getting System UI has stopped message.
Any way I can edit the file to fix my phone?
Have you tried to clear the cache in recovery? If that doesn't work, try a full factory reset.
If the phone is running a stock rom, try flashing just the system.img file in fastboot.
Before doing any of this, make sure you backup your data.

Thank you, I ended up backing up the data and cache via USB, then did a flash of Cataclysm ROM. I'll let you know if it works.
Can I just restore the data ASAP after installation or do I need Google to finish restoring my backup first?
Edit: Well, restored data, stuck with the boot screen loop again, then goes to Android is upgrading... and shows it optimizing 10 apps, and back to the boot logo.
Did the phone boot without restoring data?

No, I made sure it was completed.
Now Play Store keeps quitting when I try to install apps. I can only install specific ones.
I recommend flashing a stock rom to make sure there isn't a hardware problem. Don't restore anything until you are sure the phone works.

Alright, I was able to get all my apps installed besides United Airlines and can't update Chrome.
So the stock rom works fine?

Yes, thank you.
I don't think I want to do another custom ROM for now.
The stock rom is the best with the bloat taken out .I think the kernel can be improved though. I use EX

I have a friend who has the Skyrocket.
He is rooted and has TWRP installed, but he is still running the stock rom and kernel.
Today his phone randomly rebooted and now it is stuck on the samsung logo. We have been able to take out the battery and boot into TWRP no problem.
We do have a backup from a while back and he is also considering trying a new rom at this point, but we'd like to be able to get this to boot.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get this thing to boot? What could have caused this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
If the backup is a nandroid backup made in twrp restore that in twrp

We do have a twrp backup and can restore it, but we're hoping to find something that will fix the boot issue.
Do you think it could possible fix the problem if we flashed a new kernel and then tried to boot? Can't hurt, right?

You could try the kernel our you could also try wiping just cache and dalvik. I assume you're trying to save the data.

We aren't trying to save the data. We already have a backup. We're trying to get this thing to boot without flashing a new rom or reverting to a backup.

How long have you been charging?
You need a couple of hours before thinking there is a problem.

I'm not sure flashing stock kernel would help or make things worse. AeroKernel renames or deletes a library when it's flashed.
If it is charging then your device is working somehow. Maybe you'll need to re-flash 4.4.3 ROM using mfastboot to recover the phone.
Did you try to undervolt or overclock AeroKernel?
Have you tried pressing power button for about 5 minutes?

Yes, but it has to be done prior to flashing something that can potentially break your system.
The nandroid backup creates full images of your partitions with all the data on them. So if your device has an error the nandroid backup will restore it as it was before. It is recommended to make a nandroid before flashing a new kernel or rom, so you can revert to a previous state if anything goes wrong.

I know its a good practice, but as mine just got 5gb free its quite hard to have a full nandroid... im going to try installing the kk4.4.3 zip version.. hope find it around... that should keep my data partition untouched innit?

If it is a normal flashable zip and you dirty flash it, it should work. Just don't make the factory reset.

If you mean the tar.zip file or something like that, then you have to use mfastboot. Just don't do mfastboot erase userdata and you can keep your apps
I'm trying to go back to 5.0.1 from 5.1. 5.1 works ok but my favorite app no longer works (Puzzle and Dragons).
I flashed 5.1 by flashing bootloader, radio, boot, recovery and system images followed by fastboot format cache. The upgrade was no problem at all.
Now I'm trying to downgrade back to 5.0.1 and the same steps do not work. I just get the endless animation loop. I would like to keep what I have installed (no wipe).
Anyway have a good way to do this downgrade? I'm practically stock other than unlocked.

It may be a data conflict with system apps, if flashing system.img and boot.img doesn't work. Try booting into a custom recovery then deleting the /data/data/whatever.app folder of some system apps such as SystemUI, framework, Settings.
Otherwise, you'll have to clean flash.

After you booted 5.1, app data would have been "upgraded" to accommodate the changes. This operation probably won't work in reverse, hence your bootloop.
Restore nandroid of 5.0.1.
Or make a backup of all your apps with TiBu, flash 5.0.1 and factory reset then restore user apps.

Thanks. I had to resort to this. The factory reset was also critical. I thought running the flash-all.sh script would clean everything up but apparently it doesn't.
Hi guys, can somebody help me? I received the stagefright update this morning and after downloading it and rebooting, the phone stopped working. It shows the logo animation for a few seconds then the screen goes black. It's a rooted and unlocked phone so i don't know if thats the cause. Also, i can access the recovery mode pressing power and down. Other than that nothing.
If you were rooted and updated ya..the rooting may be the reason
So as you can access the bootloader just flash the stock rom back and you will be done with it..

I always forget how peacefull people with knowledge can be. Thanks mate, will do that.
But, just for curiosity: rooted phones tends to have problems after updates?
Yes It may get error or Somthing Else Thats Why I prefer if a update is avaiable flash back to stock and then proceed
Just a quick update. Flashed stock, worked fine. Thanks all.
Also, sorry for posting under general, i was so worried that i forgot to put this under HELP TROUBLESHOOTING.
Also, if I went there before i would find this thread here with the same problem and solution

Technically, it should not install at all if it's been rooted. It's interesting that Moto has let this slip by.
In the future, if you have made a single change in the system partition...root, build.prop edit....anything...even custom recovery or kernel...you should reflash your current factory image, reboot, then flash your updated factory image. It's VERY IMPORTANT you reboot between flashing one factory image and the next, though. You may have more issues if you don't.

I did the update and as mentioned previously on the thread stales after the logo. (bootloader is unlocked)
I can not find my oem backup. I tried twrp on recovery and was able to backup other stuff. Is there a way to generate the OEM so that i can flash or any other roms that are compatible with Moto G 3rd generation?
Try wiping cache, dalvik cache and data with TWRP. Don't use stock recovery for the data wipe or you will lose all the files stored on your internal partition, as well.
Hi guys!
I got a G3 yesterday and decided to root it. I installed TWRP and decided to install Cloudy G3.
Immediately on boot, all services stop responding. There's a loop of popups saying things like "System UI has stopped responding." The same with download manager and other things. So I figured the rom didn't install properly. I went to my backup to restore it and TWRP doesn't have it listed. I looked in all directories I could (saved it initially to /sdcard/) but it's not there. The weird part is that when you click the restore button going into the list of your backups, my backup pops up for like a quarter of a second and goes away.
I decided to use TWRP's wipe function to do a system restore. It completed and now my android version is "Cloudy g3 2.5." So... System restore installed the rom? I'm just really confused at all of this. Anybody have any insight to the stuff I've mentioned?

Did you use wipe before flashing the rom? If not that's Why you had the issue you didn't wipe. You MUST wipe when flashing a rom.

Did not know that, and no I didn't. But I appreciate you letting me know that, probably some volatile information I should've been aware of.
May I ask why the device fixed the CloudyG3 rom when I did wipe it? I thought wiping through TWRP sends the phone back to factory settings, but it just fixed the rom and booted fine.

Your welcome
It wiped your current install, current rom being cloudy it reset it to factory settings. Doing a wipe won't put you back to stock.

Ah, so flashing the stock lg firmware would be the only way to send a device back to factory settings? I'm enjoying this learning process for sure.
