Hey,
first of all i KNOW there is a subject with nearly the exact same topic, and i followed the directions but somethng doesn't work.
I still have TWRP on the phone, and when im in bootloader mode and run "fastboot devices" i see the result.
but i can't seem to ADB push or anything else (maybe im missing some commands?)
so i used the NRT root kit and i use the "fastboot flash" function and install the .img file - the software says my device is identified and it installs the system.img file (found on the "image-hammerhead-mra58k" zip), but then the device boots to TWRP and still can't boot to the system itself.
help please!
Sideload a factory rom and u will be fine. U can do it in the advanced portion of TWRP, but u need a pc, or ur hit

Sounds to me like you're using adb commands in fastboot.
Boot into bootloader (not recovery)
Type fastboot devices
It should return showing your device
Then you need to make sure you have stock img's downloaded and completely extracted so you have all the img files in the folder you're running fastboot from (rename the radio to simply radio.img)
Then type
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Then boot back into recovery and wipe cache and dvalik for just in case fun
Then reboot system and wait

I posted this on reddit...but didn't get much help...i hope the geniuses at xda can help me
As the title says, the camera app (any camera app) won't work because as you start any of them, it asks to insert the sd card, but this is a 2013 Nexus 5...so it doesn't have an sd card.
I've done a fair amount of research and the only thing that seems to be mentioned is factory reset. I've done that...both through the settings and twrp. The phone has a stock marshmallow rom.
I tried to download any other file and it won't let me download anything becauase the "sd card" is not available. So it's as if the internal sd card isn't mounted? how do I fix this? I don't have a computer nearby to do anything with adb...any help would be GREATLY appreciated...
The amount of storage according to the settings is correct (3gb used of 12 gb..16gb nexus 5)...all app permissions are correct. I've reflashed two different stock firmwares with the exact same result.
Try this:
boot into fastboot;
run this fastboot command: fastboot erase recovery (to erase existing recovery);
run this fastboot command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (to flash stock recovery from stock ROM)
run this fastboot command: fastboot erase userdata;
run this fastboot command to flash the usedata img from the stock ROM: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img;
boot into stock recovery and perform a factory wipe/reset and wipe cache;
reboot.

I'll try that tonight or tomorrow morning. Where do you suggest I download recovery.img (the stock recovery)?
Thanks for the help one way or another.. Hehe
The stock Google images are here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
I assume the phone has an unlocked bootloader since you were able to flash stock ROMs.
What did you do between all being fine and now this problem?

I sold the phone to someone I know. I had a rom (i can't remember which)...so before i sold the phone, i encrypted it, wiped it clean, flashed the stock rom (and radio)....and did a factory reset.

Thanks! I used the factory images and flashed everything from the compressed archive and it worked..you're a lifesaver. I guess I had to go further and reset everything..but thanks again!
Although my Nexus 5 is rooted with the toolkit I haven't done anything to it in months (no custom roms or anything)
My phone was working last night but when I woke up and it was in a bootloop.
so i tried fixing the problem myself, here are the things I tried:
- Hitting it (in case the buttons were sticky)
- Flash stock + unroot on the n5 toolkit
- Bootloader>Recovery>Wipe Data/Factory Reset
After that, the boot loop stopped and whenever I try turning it on it goes straight to the bootloader.
So I tried going into the wugfresh advanced utilities and i tried:
- Fastboot Erase*
- Fastboot format*
*flash stock + unroot after both
I have a little bit of hope because I can access the bootloader but I have no idea what else I can try.
Any suggestions?
thank you in advance
Does the bootloader remain unlocked?
Try manually flashing the latest marshmallow. After flashing, boot back into fastboot and run these commands:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img (the userdata.img file can be extracted from the stock ROM for flashing in fastboot)
After running the 2 commands, boot back into recovery and perform a full wipe of data and cache, then reboot.

Windows hint:
For all what you want to do with your Motorola phone, you need the above provided Minimal ADB/Fastboot environment.
Download and extract it,
Move the files you want to flash into the folder
Open CMD (Windows Key and R - then type cmd) and navigate into the extracted folder.
//It's easier when you type cd into the cmd and drag the folder from your adb/fastboot environment into the cmd window and hit enter.
And that's it. The patched boot image is no longer needed.
Rooting the Moto G6
1. Boot into fastboot mode (Vol - and Power simultaneously) and connect it to your computer
2. Open Terminal (Linux)/CMD (Windows) and go into the folder where your recovery image lies.
3. Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and use the volume keys on your phone to select "recovery mode", when finished.
4. If it asks for a password hit cancel, go to wipe, data wipe and confirm it with yes. Then reboot again into recovery.
5. Repeat the wiping and reboot another time into recovery.
6. Connect your phone to your Computer while in recovery and copy magisk and dm-verity disabler to your phone.
7. Go to Install and flash dm-verity disabler first, then magisk.
Thats it. You're rooted.
Update/Go back to Stock.

For my own experience it worked without moto drivers. On Windows 7 and Windows 10 testing systems.
Personally I use Arch, which natively supports adb and fastboot, provided by the android-tools package.
But thank you for your hint, I added it.

No, Magisk is patching the stock boot.img, which is already on your device.
The patched images are not needed anymore for Magisk.

Ok, I see.
I remark one more thing - "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_02.04.2019" i much more biger then "Force_Encryption_Disabler_For_ALI_Oreo_v2" - 4MB vs 100kB. What is different here?

Due to OS changes and it's a feature bundle.

Can't get root
The install by the instructions went perfectly but I can't get root. I did one thing differently than on the root instructions and I think I did it correctly, where you have;
Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and use the volume keys on your phone to select "recovery mode", when finished.
I did "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-ali.img" which I thought you meant because stock recovery would already be installed or am I missing something here. I followed all the rest of the instructions perfectly and everything seemed to wipe reboot and install fine but when I boot back into android I don't have root. In fact I tried it four times and never got root. Do you have any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks for any help but I do have Android 9 running just fine. I'd like to get this rooted rather than go back to 8 because it seems to run so much better.

You Need install magisk Manager wich is linked above and restart device.
Then open magisk Manager from Menu.

I tried all that and couldn't get it to work, I downloaded everything from your links above but no go. Someone posted a no-verity boot image in another thread. post 598 I believe and I flashed that file, flashed Magisk 18.1 in twrp and now I have root so I'm set, Thanks for your reply

Of course on Linux no drivers are needed. But most running Linux don't need instructions. It's usually windows users needing such instructions.
That's the only reason I chimed in.
Carry on.

Here are the steps I use to flash/root my wifes Moto G6 xt1925-6 (pie)
1. Make sure dev options are on and usb debugging is on.
2. adb reboot bootloader
3. Extract the image file directly into the same directory as adb and fastboot.
4. Launch cmd as admin, CD to the directory where adb and fastboot is.
5. via CMD launch flash_all.bat which will run through and do all the flashing of the necessary parts.
6. I actually did the first time setup, making sure usb debugging is on again and also making sure I dont have any pw or security enabled.
7. adb reboot bootloader.
8. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
9. fastboot flash boot no-verity_boot.img
10. boot into twrp and then format, I did a Format data, then a factory data reset.
11. back in twrp copy magisk over to phone, and install via twrp
12. reboot system and it should boot up again.
13. make sure to do first time setup and enable usb debugging and make sure magisk manager is installed, updated, and configured how you want it.
14. I usually do core only mode, magisk hide, and also hide the magisk manager package via the settings. under general settings.
Stuck on Booting screen
Unlocked bootloader on Moto G6 xt1925-6 RETUS. Loaded TWRP fine. Did factory reset twice to remove data encryption. Installed Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.28.19.zip followed by Magisk 18.1.zip. Boots back to recovery fine but stays at boot screen when booting to system.
Any suggestions.
