I have a one sv which:
is k2 ul
normally boots only to HTC screen (no quietly brilliant) and stays there till the end of times
shows tampered locked, which i now changed unlocked status (htcdev)
s-on
has twrp recovery on, but swipes fail mostly
flashing roms in twrp recovery show success but result is still HTC logo without being quietly brilliant
can not be ruu-ed beucause the ruus i find are i think older than required
hboot 2.21, radio 1.18 version
s-off fails because tho fastboot recognizes phone, adb doesnt in fastboot mode and in bootloader pc thinks it is not attached (tried xp, 7, 8.1 and many different drivers)
i am not sure if usb debugging was on before the phone crashed
so i can't put an older ruu because of s-on, i can't get s-off because rumrunner and moonshine can't work without adb, and basically that is it.
does anyone PLEASE have any idea what to do?
and yes, the warranty is over and the phone has gone to the warranty twice with bootloop before.
After flashing a rom, did you also flash the boot.img of the rom with fastboot cmd?
Thats necessary, because you are S-on.
And what TWRP is installed?

yes i did.
twrp 2.6.3.2
now i have made such progress that twrp tells me it cannot mount int sd and when booting, phone stays on the htc logo for some seconds and then switches off. i believe i have actually made it worse (didnt think that could happen).
EDIT: so i formatted the storage like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576897 and it BOOTED
EDIT2: the phone now kind of works IF it boots. half of booting times it just switches off, the other half it switches off and then reboots and works. i think something is still kind of not good but i dont have the b***s atm to poke it more.
thank you all for your potential help.
What rom did you use?
Please also perform a full wipe (without internal/external sd) in recovery under Wipe -> Advanced

it was this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512742 which is, as i understand, your work, thank you very much, donations will happen when im a tincy bit richer
and i will wipe some time later when im at home and courageous enough.
You can also try to restore this TWRP backup.
great news! today the phone restarted itself and froze on the logo. i tried to start twrp but it froze on that logo too. tried to do a factory reset, which removed the "tampered" sign until next reboot but that was about it.
now i can't reflash twrp or anything at all, with the error remote: image update error. oh please save me again.
Does not sound good.
You can boot into bootloader? Is it locked or unlocked? Did you reflash the recovery to check if you can boot into it?
looks bad indeed.
i can boot into bootloader, which is unlocked. and please specify what do you mean by reflashing the recovery (pardon my stupid brain)
When in bootloader, connect your phone to fastboot and try to flash recovery again.
If you can't get into recovery, i don't know, if there is much i can do for you
fastboot basically tells me to go f* myself with the error "remote: image update error" what ever I try to flash. right now Im trying to find a way to reflash twrp from ext sd. not doing so great
Well, about your country flag i suggest you speak (or you can at least read) russian language.
Go to 4pda.ru and look for the posts of "MikG". He has made zip files, similar to RUU. They are flashed from bootloader/Ruu mode. Maybe they can bring your phone back to life.
I can't tell you how to use this files, because i don't speak russian.
I'll try, thanks.
edit: and it just refuses to cooperate. it kind of does something in bootloader, but still doesnt boot past htc logo or if i try recovery, it stays on teamwin logo. i dont know if im doing something wrong or what... maybe i'll wait for the 4.2.2 hboot 2.21 radio 1.18 ruu then because i really dont know what else i could do.
FINAL EDIT: FIXED!!! Sparsechunk files 1,2and 3 have to match the exact name with the firmware folder sparsechunk files.
I did not notice that my firmware sparsechunk files ended in .0 .1 .2 and not 1 2 3 like the tutorial had listed, so I was fastbooting the wrong sparsechunk command. That was the final fix that finally worked for me.
Original post:
SHORT VERSION:
My god this has been one crazy root journey.
I have done absolutely EVERYTHING I could pull up on google to fix my phone, and what seemed to be the final piece to the puzzle, still has not fixed anything.
My phone is bricked, and i would really appreciate help at this point.
The current problem:
When I turn on my phone, it vibrates, and displays the WARNING BOOT LOADER UNLOCKED screen, and stays there forever.
I can access my boot loader, and recovery, but I dont know what to do at this point.
I tried a quick flash stock recovery kit kat with moto tool AIO, and it didnt help.
Any ideas?
LONG VERSION (backround info may help to understand the current issue)
Now, if you want to know what began all of this, continue reading, otherwise the above is my current issue.
After successfully unlocking and rooting my phone
I downloaded SWITCHME, an app that lets you create multible users on the phone. the instructions say that you can use a sub account to test and mess around with anything because you can simply go back to the admin account that has everything untouched.
That was a lie.
1.I deleted .setup, along with a few other things THAT WHERE NOT FLAGGED AS IMPORTANT, assuming the phone would still work. and my phone went bonkers, displaying this infinite message: UNFORTUNATELY, SETUP HAS STOPPED. It was impossible to use the phone, and I could only access bootloader.
2.After endless googling, driver downloading, xda mod installing, I managed to set up my boot loader to do the guide restore stock firmware:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
Sadly, I flashed the wrong model number package, I was flashing x35, when I later discovered that my phone is x45.
Flashing the x35 firmware bricked my phone further, to where it would "fail to boot up" and would only display bootloader over and over after attempting to turn the phone on.
3. Simple, I realized I flashed the wrong thing, so I downloaded the x45 firmware from the firmware teem on this website, flashed all of the commands, and bam, the phone starts up with the boot loader warning, and DOES NOT get stuck in the previous boot loader issue I had.
But now the phone wont get past that warning screen so... now im pissed.
Please, if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it, Im so close to getting my phone back...
EDIT 2: Looks like the phone wont stay shut down, I realized that if I dont open up boot loader, it will turn itself on and display the warning message.
EDIT:
The stuffs I have, ready to try anything:
CWM touch mod
Moto Tool AIO
Minimal ADB and Fast boot
RETUS x1045 factory firmware
All directories, folders, cmd commands are set up and working properly between all of the programs.
The phone appears to be responding to all cmd commands properly.
I also have the windows one touch super boot root method. (he superboot-windows.bat )
Im afraid to try anything major after freshly flashing the x45 firmware that seemed to bring me one step closer without the help of someone else.
I restored stock to my phone using this link yesturday http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-restore-motorola-moto-g-stock-firmware-1447290
it may work for you
I have almost the same problem as if the fastboot not install anything despite not display errors
great that you got it done.
maybe my few cents about my "bricking" story. (xt1032 moto g)
yesterday i wanted to change the rom from cm11 nightly to another custom rom like ehndroix/carbonrom...
first i thought that will be done in a few mins, after having already flashed a custom rom.
then the story began, getting adb work, but, 2weeks ago everything was setup and went fine. dunno why my laptop lost the "drivers".
thats the link which solved that problem: tinyurl . com / kgffjh4 [sorry cant post links outside of xda yet, spam protection]
so after a few hours of getting that fixed i, i began flashing.
suddently i got stuck in bootscreen (ehndroix logo for example)...
then i wanted to go back with my previous backup made internaly of clockworkmod. though i couldnt restore my backup because there was an error message while restoring /data of my backup
also when restoring to factory/wipe in cwm there was that error message about clouldnt "touch" /data, i dont remember the message exactly.
after thinking i bricked everything, i though lets wipe my internal sdcard, maybe that causes the /data error.
then i restarted the device and went for a shower... after 15min i came back and my device was "started".
now i dont know that exactly helped, maybe wiping all data on my phone, or just letting my device boot for a "long" time...
so, thats my yesterdays brick story.
do a factory reset if the bootloader has that option.. otherwise install or run/boot a custom revovery, then either
try the factory reset option there and reboot or..
wipe everything and install a rom
Ok try this, I'm was a victim too:
Relock and unlock bootloader
Download and flash latest Philz
From there format everything...EVERY PARTITION...switch F2FS
After switching wipe every partition again
Select and execute the other 3 wiping option ie., Clean to install new ROM and the other 2 (I can't remember now)
Do this all over again via TWRP too
Now, this is important, don't use the mfastboot for restoring stock...use the one provided by Google for its Android SDK
Flash the stock images
Flash the Moto Razr boot animation and not the one for Moto G to remove the warning sign
I'm 99.99% sure your phone will boot properly
After the phone boots, reflash the Moto G bootanimation
Good Luck!

You're still in stock recovery.
Use fastboot flash recovery xyz.zip to flash philz recovery
Use this when you're in bootloader mode.

Sorry I'm traveling a d couldnt update thread fast enough.
Just got my XT1644 G4 Plus 16GB here in America and brought it home for some testing.
Everything was a piece of cake, I did these things in order with no issues. There are other guides for these things all over XDA so I won't be giving detailed instructions.
Unlocked the bootloader here - https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
Installed TWRP from here. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...p-twrp-3-0-2-2-recovery-moto-g4-plus-t3386586
And flashed SuperSU from here - https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/
When TWRP first boots it will ask if you want to run in systemless mode. Make sure you tell it YES!!!
Rebooted on the first try with no issues.
I have Xposed installed with a few modules and it works great.

Can anyone get me a stock boot.img i seemed to have messed up my adb protocol on the phone and my computer will no longer allow it to give me an RSA key prompt. The method worked for me though.

not sure if this is full proof i got bootloop
After flashing SuperSu 2.76 the phone is stuck forever at the "moto" logo. Is it because I'm using such a new version of SuperSu? Why do you use 2.46?
How long did it take to get the unlock code? I am waiting for a couple hours now...
LE: 4 hours... and finally I got the code.
Just got XT1644.
Unlocked bootloader with no problem.
Installed TWRP 3.0.2-0 with no problem
Installed SuperSu 2.46 in read only mode.
Stuck at moto screen.
Any help would be appreciated.

Nevermind. Followed steps 5-8 of this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/root-systemless-rooting-supersu-2-74-2-t3405772 and all is well.
I can't get twrp to install. I keep getting told that the image is not signed or corrupt
First unlock Bootloader.
You don't need to install TWRP, just boot into it so you can flash the Systemless SuperSU.

that's just it... I can't boot to twrp. It's not there.
Where? You can't find it on the SD by browsing in the recovery?
because that's just it, there's nothing in recovery. This has gotten so convoluted that I don't even know what I'm supposed to have where....
@davidkoby
Stock ROM Recovery starts with a "Dead Android" and "no command" written under it, it is you see or something else?
Does supersu need to be in systemless mode?

Hi Bro,
I was also stuck at the moto logo screen and then I followed steps from 5-8, (where I see the superSu file is of different version), and now my phone is not booting at all, normally. I can boot in to bootloader but not normal boot is happening, I cannot even switch on my phone. I am a bit scared. Can you please assist.

Assuming you have XT1644, stock marshmallow ROM and TWRP recovery installed, maybe boot into recovery and double check that the .supersu file you created is in the data directory (step 6) through file manager. If it's there maybe flash the supersu zip file in OP since that is the version that worked for me. If neither works maybe factory reset in recovery and flash the correct supersu zip and try again. Failing all that, you may have to completely start over and reflash the ROM. My guess is creating the .supersu file wasn't done correctly or the incorrect version of the supersu zip is causing the problem.

Ok yes I have XT1644 (any way to confirm BTW), I also have TWRP recovery installed (thats how I took the backup)m BUT, I was not on stock marshmallow, I was on nougat (Stock), The phone did an OTA update, months ago. Could that be the reason.
Also I checked .supersu file was there via file manager. What do you advice ..??? I also have tried now with SR3-SuperSU v2.79, but same result, it get stuck at Moto Boot screen.
Another thing I noticed at the screen where it says "Your phone is unlocked and cant be trusted" and it will boot in 5 seconds, in front of ID it says BAD KEY ... wonder what that means or if it has something to do with what wrong has happened.
Appreciate your assistance here.

Sammy

Hmmmm...I don't know if you have XT1644. Most who have that version are still waiting on OTA I think and certainly didn't get it month's ago. It is the G4 Plus North American version. If you still have the box it will be on the UPC label. It will also be in your phone info in settings once your phone works again. Did your phone work fine before you tried to root it? Anyway, Nougat will not root with this method. If you can boot into recovery, try factory reset. If that doesn't work, you're going to have to reflash the Nougat ROM...make sure you get the right one for your phone. You will need to search around on this forum for instructions and which download to get, etc. Once you have Nougat up and running again, you will need to leave it unrooted or use one of the proven methods of root. Again, I don't think systemless supersu works for Nougat. I have no idea what bad key means. The only thing I've ever had is "N/A" come up in the unlock warning. Incidentally, you can get rid of the bootloader warning screen if you want to.

Hi,
i encountered almost the same problem tryng to install twrp, so, when i try to come back to stock and relock the boot loader, i went to bootloop for some times. What i did:
donwload official stock b389, extract it, and flash manually (fastboot flash cust cust.img; recovery; boot; system)
failed, i got bootloop.
hardreset, not sure if it was acessible and i did it for sure...
download from official honor/hawei site, the 2 package to rollback from nougat to marshmallow.
installed the, again don't remember if it worked in dload like the official site teach you or if i did it manually (extraction, fastboot flash ecc ecc)
so, flash the mid packcage (from nougat to marshmallow) then flash the marshmallow firmware.
now, try to reset, and again, try to flash a stock marskmallow firmware.
the problems i encountered was (i suppose) it fail to manually flash a marshmallow firmware on a nougat bootloader, so, with the rollback package i was able to have a marshmallow bootloader where flash the stock firmware.
it took me time, sweat, and fear, but at the end it worked. It's easyer when you decide "i blowed it up, whatever it happens, i don't care..."
Hello,
I just flashed the latest ROM for the S8+ (AQL5) and that went well.
Afterwards I tried to flash TWRP, but now the phone is stuck on the Samsung screen.
I then followed the guide I found here to use the BL file of AQF7 in Odin and spam the Start button so I managed to get into TWRP.
Question is, what do I do next? I restart the system it's the same problem all over again.
No one explains anywhere what to do in TWRP to save the phone.
Can I remove TWRP or somehow save the phone (without wiping my data)
Please help
Can you get to download mode? Then go to ODIN and redo your flashing of the OS and then TWRP. After the flash of TWRP, immediately boot into TWRP, and do Verity if you want that, and your root, if not already done. Clear Dalvik/cache and reboot to system.
It is not uncommon for folks, following TWRP flash, to get stuck in boot loop, unfortunately. Can take a little time, but you will get through it and finally to System.
But I thought all new firmware versions are incompatible with TWRP and cause this error.
I might try to install TWRP again if I flash the latest compatible version (I think it's the F7 one).
Does "Verify" in TWRP make that annoying "Your phone is not verified" message go away? The only option is to Reset phone when that thing comes up and I don't want to do that.
I managed to get out of that by reflashing the AQL5 version and just not installing TWPR.
Kind of scared to retry because everything goes wrong when I try to follow the guides on here or youtube
