[Q] Accidentally erased System ROM in Oneplus

I wanted to go back to stock CM. So I went to TWRP and erased everything. Next thing it said was that I don't have any OS in the phone.
Now I want to sideload the stock CM into to the phone.
Please tell me step by step solution as I am a nooby.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Of course you don't have an OS if you wiped system. Did you not put stock CM onto your device before wiping everything? Google search 'how to adb sideload' and you'll did plenty of guides. Maybe hold up on doing anything else to your device until you have a better understanding of what you're doing.

If you lost the recovery aswell:
- fastboot mode
- download twrp recovery to your fastboot file and rename it to "recovery"
- (pc) open comand window and type "adb flash recovery recovery.img"
- open recovery
- advanced
- adb sideload
- download stock rom
- (pc) adb sideload (rom name).zip
I find it hard to believe that people who own a "hackers phone" don't save a nandroid on their pc. Still, you got your solution there.

Please help

I am now in stock rom. I downloaded it from Cynogenmod website. I have done it through fastboot adb sideload.
I saved nandroid but can't transfer that zip file to my phone. How can I side load it through fastboot?
Please help

take a look in the backup. Are there image files in it?
You can flash image files with fastboot.
But why does USB not work in stock-rom?

I don't know the reason. I could not upload zip file into my phone through TWRP recovery.
So eventually I sideloaded stock rom through fastboot.
Which effectively means that I am back to unrooted and no TWRP.
Also, 33R seams to be buggy. Battery performance is still jittery and it can't detect wifi automatically. I need to switch it off and on to make it work again.
So, I want to go back to my earlier backup which was 25R. I need a fool proof process to do so.
Would really appreciate all your help

(SOLVED) Bootloop after backup

Hi guys, i just made a mess with my wife Moto G, i had Tesla ROM installed in it, everything was working fine but i just decided to make her a Backup using TWRP, the backup process went fine and i rebooted the phone, now i was stuck at Motorola Logo and can enter to Recovery anymore, tried fastboot erasing userdata and now i am stuck at ROM logo but nothing more.
I appreaciate your help. Thanks in advance.

Erasing userdata allows you to boot back into TWRP, but ROM is corrupt and needs to be reflashed. Best do a factory reset in TWRP and flash.

ADB push or sideload will work in TWRP. ADB push Rom.zip /sdcard
You don't state want Model Moto G you have.

Tried Adb push and didn´t work, say device not found but i could flash twrp recovery in fastboot and in fastboot command it recognizes the phone. Is a 1032.
I appreciate your help, i have recovery, just need to transfer the rom file but at the moment can´t. Any other way?

Flash stock firmware.

Similar thing happened with my xt1033. It got stuck at bootloader after taking a backup with twrp. Advice you to flash the latest version of twrp(forgot the version name, but it has material design), that has resolved the issue for me, I could take a backup and reboot. And you should use mfastboot to flash the stock firmware into your phone. Even for me, the phone was not getting detected, but the files were flashed anyways. Check other forums for the steps to flash stock firmware. Make sure to extract all the files from the zip of the stock firmware in the same folder where mfastboot is.

Moto g 1st Gen downgrade mess up!

So, my device was running CM12.1 for a while and i've just decided to upgrade it (it had been a long time since I did that). Then I downloaded the latest version of the rom and flashed it, relentlessly.
Everything was OK until I realized my "Google play services" app was not working at all... I thought it was just a ROM malfunction and decided to factory reset my phone. However, it didn't work... My google play services was continuously "force closing" and I decided to just go back to stock firmware. Yeah... Just like that.
It was just too late when I realized that I was already running CM13 and I had just tried to downgrade my device (in the wrong way, of course). And just like that, I bricked my phone... SOFT BRICK
So, is there any way I can get out of that situation?!
How can I unbrick my device (is that even possible)?

Does your phone still turn on? Can you boot in Fastboot mode? Power on while holding vol down.

Yes, it does. Fastboot's still working fine. Recovery mode, however, shows me the image of the "android mascot" with it's belly opened up, but no options to choose.

Try flashing the factory firmware image for your model:

I tried to flash firmware stock 5.0.2 in my phone using minimal adb and fastboot after updating to CM13 and that's what led me into this situation.
Did it twice, actually, so... I think simply flashing won't do any good.
Should I try flashing 5.1 stock?? will that work?

Yes, use the 5.1 image. Extract the following files into the firmware image folder: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982086993793
Run command prompt from that folder. Post log - copy and paste contents of command prompt screen - take screenshots.
Fastboot is not user-friendly - it can completely fail - yet as far as you can tell, flashing has been an amazing success.

Should I flash it with all the commands or should I skip some? (That was common back when people were bricking their devices when updating to lollipop).

Encryption on a rooted Moto G 1st Gen Problem

Hello, I have rooted my phone over a year ago. I decided to use the Encryption feature and it worked perfectly. Then I went ahead and did a factory reset. That went well too. Though, later when I decided to encrypt the phone again I saw the encryption progress screen for 1 second then I got a black screen. I have waited 5 min and nothing was happening. So, I tried shutting the phone down and that worked. I started the phone and it booted normally into the main screen (a big relief there). I tried again and I got the same problem black screen. I am trying to find out what changed since I resetted the phone. I do not know what causes this. I am new to rooting by the way.
Any information is appreciated.

You must first enable encryption, and then root the ROM.

Hi lost101. Well, the encryption worked for me with root for the first time. Why is it not working a second time? What do I do now if I wanted encryption?

If you are okay to completely wipe your phone: Flash the latest Factory Firmware Image for your Model Moto G using mFastboot. If this is not successful, it would help to see a log of the flashing process. Copy and paste command prompt screen. Take screenshots if necessary.

Never mind, I found a solution to encrypt without flashing or anything. I really appreciate it, though.

It would be good if your could share your solution.

lost101, the solution was to disable SuperSU and then encrypt.

Phone boots into fastboot, system files corrupted

Hi! My old phone is booting into fastboot mode, when I try to boot normally I get a black screen, the "Power off" button appears when I hold the power button. The bootloader is not unlocked and the phone was never rooted. Wiping the user partition does not help. It is visible in fastboot mode and I can enter stock recovery, though trying to adb sideload a stock rom returns an error (footer is wrong; signature verification failed). Trying to fastboot boot twrp or recovery.img doesn't work either. I've ran out of ideas, what should I do to get this phone to work?

Try flashing the stock ROM with fastboot. I'm pretty sure ADB doesn't let you flash onto your phone because using your phone with ADB means that it's still powered on - which can cause some issues. You can also try and unlock your bootloader through fastboot, and then flash a recovery and custom ROM.

Both failed. I attached the errors I recieved.

Try "fastboot bootloader unlock", maybe. Also: Is there a flashall.bat in the stock ROM folder? If there is: Connect your device while in fastboot, and double-click it.

Try this maybe. I know you can't wipe through the stock ROM, so, try the command: "fastboot -w". That'll wipe everything off the device.

I can wipe through stock recovery. I did fastboot -w and it cleared the cache and userdata partitions, they were already clean afaik. Typing fastboot bootloader unlock returns unknown command. There are no .bat files in my firmware. I can try downloading one from the site you linked, but I don't know what to do with it if fastboot flash does not work.

Try this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-osprey-fastboot-flashing-factory-firmware-images.3187750/

It says there that the "preflash validation failed" error occurs when the firmware being flashed is older than the one already installed. I will try downloading a newer version and flashing it. Will update here.

Update: I have dowloaded a newer rom and tried to flash it. This time got different errors (picture attached, this went for every sparsechunk). I think I know the reason but I do not know how to solve it. This might not be the exact stock rom of this phone so I cannot flash it with a locked bootloader. Could someone help me finding the correct rom or suggest a different solution?

Yooooo. I have the Moto e5 Cruise and so does my wife. We bought them in 2018 from Cricket and last night hers went to emmc failure, also known scientifically as 'no worky' mode.
The phone would only load in fastboot and had tried to use my Moto RSD tool to reflash but the phone would not detect in anything but fastboot mode.. Here's where it gets interesting....
There is a piece of software called the Lenovo (which now owns Moto) Rescue and Smart Assistant that can reflash your phone back to factory, no matter your sub-variant (cricket, metro, etc). Without having a fresh backup on hand, you're going to be beholden to the last cloud sync or manual backup you have because all data will be wiped in the below process.
BTW: Just run the assistant as it seems to be the easiest 'back-to-stock/working' tool I can find. Going to fastboot alone yielded weird errors since i didn't have the unlock code for the 'fastboot oem unlock [code goes here]' command.
**RESTORATION PROCESS**
This will apply to multiple Lenovo/Moto Mobility devices. Unknown at this time how many have been impacted by this seemingly pre-planned failure on Lenovo's part.
If your phone is stuck in fastboot mode where MTK download mode does not load, nor does adb, follow these simple steps:
(NOTE: BACKUP YOUR FILES IF POSSIBLE)
1. Click the link above to be directed to the Lenovo software download page and run the installer on your PC (Sorry Mac users :'().
2. The software, once installed, will require you to sign up for OR link a google, fb, g+, etc account to it for purposes of creating a Lenovo ID. Once signed in, click on 'Rescue Now'.
3. With your phone in fastboot mode, allow the software to download the firmware for your phone.
4. Once the firmware has finished downloading and validating, click on 'Rescue Now' once again. Your phone will begin the reflashing process.

That... actually worked. The program found the required ROM and flashing went without problems. Thank you very much @kmt5150 .
