Hi,
i tried to restore my TA Partition:
1)temporarily booted TWRP (fastboot boot TWRP.img)
2)pushed TA.img with ADB
3)dd the Partition
4)reboot
This has worked before. This Time a got a warning screen that my device is corrupted und that i should press Power to turn it off. Since then it appears to be be dead. Is there anything i can do ?
Update: I can still boot the Phone until the warning Screen appears.
You have to restore stock firmware when you restore TA. Just boot to flash mod (connect pc with pressing volume down) and flash stock firmware.
That is the funny thing. I had a Stock firmware flashed (did it before restoring using Emma). This has worked before for me. However i´m unable to get into flash or bootloader Mode. My Inputs are ignored. All i can do is press the Power + Volume up Button until the Phone boots. It then shows the Sony Screen. Turns off. Shows the Sony screen again and then the Warning Screen.
Don't connect pc or charger and press longer the reset (power+vol up), phone will vibrate several times (keep press a little more) and the phone will turn power off. And when power turned off, pressing volume down and connect PC.
THANK YOU ! That worked. Just to make sure i don´t screw this up: What should i do next ?
When power turned off, press volume down and coonect pc (keep pressing before boot to flash mode). And then restore to stock firmware.
Thank you so much. I used Xperia Companion and it boots again...
And your TA is still not restored?
It seems to be restored.

Really need your help, please!
I've bought MOTO RAZR X925 from Amazon.
I have:
Android 4.1.2
98.22.16001.XT925.Retail.en.DE
Software Version: 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQUL-16
First time I turned on the device, set up all accounts, mail, installed some apps from PlayMarket.
Then I decided to change all my accounts and just did "Factory Reset" in order to not waste my time for any changing. I did it while usb-cable was connected to PC. No root, no unlocks. After rebooting the device started to update software (!), showing green droid with blue something inside. In the end this greed droid falls down showing an error. And the device starts the same again with no success.
If to press power & vol + it shows booting menu. If to choose "Normal Powerup" it starts normally and offers to set up the device normally, and then works normally. After reboot it goes again to updating a software which again fails and erases all the data!!! But if to boot with "Normal Powerup" from boot menu - the device works normally with all saved data.
If to boot by choosing "Recovery" option from boot menu and with connected usb-cable it goes again to error.
Please help me with it, I'd much appreciate it.
EDITED: tried to flash exactly my ROM with RSD Lite v6.1.5. Flashed successfully. BUT PROBLEM REMAINS THE SAME! While rebooting goes to updating the ROM and fails.
Thank you!

Thank you so much for your reply, BUT no success so far.
Step 1. There was no SIM card, I was setting up the device without SIM, as well as no SD Card.
Step 2. Boot in recovery mode by holding together Power & Vol +, choose Factory
Step 3. It started to boot immediately after I've pressed "Factory". Since I did not perform Factory Reset before, the data has not been erased (???) after boot, so phone was set up with my old wifi settings and working
Step 4. Did the same step as 3.
Step 5. Inserted SIM card (first time), and boot normally
Step 6. The same problem remains: droid is trying to install something with an error. I boot via Power & Vol + with option "Normal powerup". After booting all data erased.
May be there are some files missed for normal booting, but only from recovery mode...I do not Know
Thank you for getting into it!

Please repeat the instructions but instead of booting in "factory mode", choose recovery. This will bring up an Android who is lying on their side. Hold Vol + and Vol- then press the power button, and choose factory reset from that menu.

I tried to do that but it does not allow me to get into Recovery! Little green Droid appears and constantly updates with an error. Pressing and holding vol+ vol - and power in any state of phone shows just black screen,
I can choose and boot with: Normal powerup, AP Fastboot, Factory and BP Tools. BUT NOT RECOVERY.... After pressing "Recovery" - green droid appears.
And also, when I fully turn off the phone with USB cable connected, it again selfbooting with green droid!

Oh, I do thank you, Darbness, for help. When after pressing "Recovery" droid appears I press and hold vol - and vol+ and - nothing happens. Also other time tried power & vol + & vol -. It just turns off.
Then I tried through sdk toools in command window from "DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility" using command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" I flashed this boot image. Now after normal power off and normal power on I receive message "Fastboot Reason: Flash Falilure". Acctually at least the device doesn't erase the data every time (even if from normal phone's menu "Factory Reset") But still I need to press Vol+ & Power to boot through "Normal powerup".
I will try to flash stock now again. But please MAY BE there is a way to fix fastboot now??
I'd appreciate your help in any case.
[EDITED] NO! Again droid appears, doesn't react on any combinations and then fails! I'm doing it all the day today... And there is no service center in Cyprus where I'm based now

Don't use any DROID utilities, since those aren't compatible with XT925.
You can boot again in AP Fastboot, then connect the computer to the phone and use the following commands with the SDK tools:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
Once that is finished, flash your phone back to the German stock you flashed originally.
Keep us posted.
Also, the recovery is different, hold VOL- and VOL+ and while holding, press the power button quickly to bring up a menu...

I did what you said with fastboot commands. The phone has now the original problem (selfrebooting)
BUT I cannot get to any other menu but only those in attachments.
When the phone is fully turned off:
1) I press vol+ and Power and hold until menu IMG_3455.JPG appears
2) I press Vol - vol + and quick press and release Power and menu IMG_3457.JPG appears (seems the same)
3) I press Vol - vol + and long press Power - nothing
When the phone is switched on in ANY state (normal operating, green droid, while booting):
1) I press Vol - vol + and quick press and release Power - nothing
2) I press Vol - vol + and long press Power - the phone reboots and then gets to green droid
Green droid is looking like IMG_3458.JPG
Both menus options:
Normal powerup - starts and operates normally
Recovery - goes to green droid operating forever
AP Fastboot - goes to fastboot mode
Factory - starts and operates normally
BP Tools - starts and operates normally but when connected to PC requires additional drivers which I cannot find in Internet IMG_3460.JPG
And when I connect usb to switched off phone it starts to boot and gets to green operating droid.

So I did a factory reset, the tab rebooted to wipe the device, went to nvidia logo then screen went black, shuts off automatically and I can turn back on just for it to get right past the logo and shut off again, I've tried volume up with power and volume down and same thing happens. Sometimes the power won't even turn it back on for 5-10 minutes. Any suggestions?

Dumb question, but are you sure the battery is charged? I would leave it plugged in for awhile and try again. Then if it still is not booting try to enter download mode while connected to PC. Mine did something similar to this once when I did a factory reset as well. It only recovered after connecting USB to my PC.
I'm guessing you have custom recovery installed?
1. Download the factory image from NVIDIA website (specific to your device version),
2. Go into fastboot by pressing volume down and give a slight nudge to the power button (don't press until the logo comes up, just a quick nudge will do)
3. Unlock your bootloader using the instruction which can be found on this forum (if you have, skip this step) sorry I'm on mobile phone, so a bit hard to do a search for the link with small screen.
4. Unzip the recovery image zip file.
4. While still in fastboot, flash the recovery images using flash-all.bat contained in the unzipped folder.
You will lose your custom recovery and your root, but since you were gonna wipe your device anyway.. let me know if you're stuck somewhere.
I think i might have found fix....
Shut down the device with long press (8sec) Power button
Press and hold Vol down key
Press and release Power key
Device enters fastboot mode
Select Recovery mode option (using Vol up/down for navigation and power key to select)
Device enters recovery mode (after showing NVIDIA boot logo) with Android Robot screen.
Press and release Vol UP + Power button simultaneously
Then select wipe data/factory reset with Vol up/down key to navigate and power key to select
try this but be PATIENT AND wait for it to say erasing then i think ill be normal once its done also just wait with it on the "blank screen" we could have just got ahed of are selves and whent to conclusions and thought it was bricked
phone :
htc one s
rooted
cyanogenmod
CWM recovery v6.0.5.1
so the story is :
i forgot to charge my phone last night and it ran out of battery and died. when i plug it into charger or PC, it immediately boots into CWM without pressing anything and wont enter anything else. it also doesnt seem to charge in CWM and when i try to power it off, it simply goes into CWM again. simply put, i cant turn it off or charge it. phone was working perfectily fine before.
what i'm trying to do now is trying to boot it into bootloader and try to charge with fastboot script (i did it before) so i can get enough voltage to boot it into the OS. but the phone refuses to enter bootloader by any means and simply goes back into CWM.
tried holding the vol down + power button for 10 secs till it restarts, release power and hold it again while keeping the vol down pressed. but it still enter CWM (usually this is what i do to enter bootloader)
i cant restart to bootloader from CWM either (any buttons to power off, restart, boot to anywhere from CWM simply brings it back to CWM)
holding only the power button till it restarts also brings it back to CWM.
holding the vol down + power button without releasing them simply gives me screen flicker and it loops that way. i assume that made the phone soft reset repeatedly?
holding the vol down + power and releasing power once it resets and tapping power also brings it back to CWM.
here's a simple video showing the phone : youtu.be/PDvskMZIHAM
any help would be appreciated. thanks.
solved : as i noticed that the phone charging led turns on whenever i hold the power button. i tried holding the power button for god knows how long while plugged in. i released it once my finger was tired and cant hold it anymore and it boots into cyanogenmod.
Hi, I unlocked bootloader but I want to lock it back because I pooped everything. How to do that?
Also why eRecovery always writes "Getting package info failed"? I have PRA-LX1C432B172 Doble SIM.
Sorry, I'm a newbie and I regret my decision. I don't understand anything. I want to turn everything back.
But please help me!
1)Connect your phone with the USB Cable to either it's charger (not a third party one) or your PC.
2)Shut it down and wait till it shows the charging animation.
3)Press the Vol.+ and Power buttons together and after the Huawei Logo appears, release the Power button but keep holding the Vol.+.
4)Keep holding even if the "Your bootloader is unlocked" warning is displayed.
5)If all goes well you will be at the eRecovery part of your recovery. If you go to regular recovery try again switching from Power to PC and vice versa and keep trying with the buttons.
6)Connect to your WiFi (no need to have set it up from Android in order to work, it has a minimal interface with keyboard to do that).
7)It will show the latest stable release of the OS (around 2.3-2.5GB, I hope you have fast connection) and choose to download it.
8)After it downloads and installs EVERYTHING from scratch (it will also relock everything, so keep your phone above 80% battery life and don't overcharge it), it will restart and after that shut it down again, if I remember correctly, if not choose to shutdown.
9)Without a USB connected press Vol.+ and Power buttons and after the Huawei logo appears release the Power button and keep holding the Vol.+ button.
10) You are now in stock EMUI Recovery, do a factory reset and Wipe Data/Cache and restart.
11) Redo the setup and you are good to go.
Hello, I recently came on a pixel phone to build and use lineageOS on. Upon rebuilding, I believe I performed adb sync wrong the device and damaged system. After that, my adb keys became unauthorized and I am unable to access the bootloader menu(I press power and volume, but phone boots into Bootloop). I tried the steps to get to bootloader menu, but the phone doesn't power completely off, and when I press the power button it gives me the launch screen saying press power to pause/continue boot, not allowing me to go into bootloader
My bootloop goes like this: Bootloader integrity screen(bootloader unlocked, cannot be verified) --> Google loading screen --> Android recovery. This shows 2 options with the message, "Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device". The two options are to try again or data reset.
I press try again, and the same bootloop ensues, sometimes getting to lineage loading logo, but then back to the same recovery error regardless. If I press the buttons(power and vol up), to go into recovery, it just shows an android with a warning sign above it, giving a message saying "Error!" on the bottom. My adb on the computer shows as unauthorized, so I don't know how I can fix this. Google has said the warranty is expired and cannot do anything to help. Ideas to fix? Thanks for help in advance!
Use power and volume down (not up) to go into Fastboot mode. Then flash the stock images

I tried that, but whenever I press any button, the phone is never turning completely off unless it dies. Even after that, it goes to the screen showing the secure boot integrity(Press power to continue/stop boot)
How can I completely shut off the device and restart it? And if system is messed up, will that leave my bootloader intact(I'm assuming so as boot is a different partition?)

Does holding down the power button for 5-10 seconds turn it off? Or if you do that does it appear to turn off and then restart?
If that fails to turn it off, try just holding power and volume down for 5 seconds, and if the screen flashes (goes off and then on) let go of the power button but keep holding volume down and hopefully it goes into Fastboot.
That should work unless you have a dodgy power or volume button. The bootloader is completely separate to the boot partition, and the fact that it's doing anything at all suggests that it's still functioning.
Only other option I can think of is trying ADB commands when it's in recovery mode, e.g. adb reboot bootloader. However, if you have the stock recovery, that may not work.

Thank You!!! It didn't work in the bootloop, so I had to let the phone drain its battery and shut itself off, then I was able to enter the bootloader and reinstall lineage. Thanks so much!

Is ur bootloader unlocked? If so, use twrp to perform a full wipe and install from twrp as well. Of you can't access trwp, and are in a bootloop, do the same thing I did: let the phone lose all it's battery, so it's outta the loop, connect the phone to a charger, then hold power and volume down. This should get you into bootloader mode where you can then use fastboot to flash twrp.
