Backstory: I tried to load Cyanogenmod on my phone; but first I had to load TWRP recovery in order to get to load it. This is where the issue came; I decided to go the easy route and attempted to install it through Flashify (an app on the Google Play store); upon restarting my phone; it was bricked. I went into EVERYTHING, when I tried to go into recovery it would just send me through the bootloop and then send me to AP Fastboot.
Confused, I called Motorola; and was notified and Flashify had removed my prevoius recovery and failed to but TWRP resulting in this.
Issue: So what I did is I got the CWM recovery specific for my phone (XT926) and went into ADB fastboot and typed "fastboot flash cwm.img", from my ADB folder of course. Then when I booted into recovery, nothing happened; it would just send me through the bootloop again. Please help.

Try another recovery / another version. Did the trick for me and you have nothing to lose
I have 2 XT925s. I bricked one to the point that I could boot to fastboot but could not even get into stock recovery. I was running stock 4.4.2.
I did the following.
I got the DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility_1.41. I used the TWRP 2.7.1.0 in that utility specifically for XT925.
I used fastboot to manually flash TWRP into the recovery partition.
DO NOT reboot past boot menu. Right after flashing, boot into recovery. That should give you TWRP.
I used TWRP to Install CM11 snapshot. I had to manually flash into the modem partition, the modem file also obtained from the above utility. You will need to flash in gapps for 4.4.2.
That recovered the bricked phone.
Of note, I was able to flash TWRP in the other phone. Backed it up. Transfered the backed up OEM ROM into the phone running CM. And get it to run stock ROM.
I now have one running CM11, and one running stock 4.4.2. I'm just comparing battery life. I've noticed CM11 has a smaller memory footprint than stock 4.4.2.
Cheers
did not work for me anywhere to be found stock 4.4.2 recovery img for 926?
Hi, I got shield tablet, first version, previous owner brick the device, it stuck on AICP logo and not booting. I can enter in fastboot mode, device is unlocked, but it display bootloader version UNDEF_BUIDL, when I try go to recovery mode I got nvidia logo and black screen. I also try install the stock recovery, do all steps in official instructions, no errors and no changes, It's still bricked on custom rom logo. Any chances to fix it? I'don't know what to do now

You flashed manually via fastboot every file? Even the bootloader?
if you mean "fastboot flash boot boot.img", then yes
Now i can enter in recovery mode, and run TWRP, but i takes veeeery long time to boot :/ In TWRP wipe data failed, there are errors in data and cache partition, I can't format it or repait, It shows that partitions are presents, but they have 0MB size
Perhaps try flashing new firmware? It should be somewhere on Steel01's thread (5.0 bootloader, or nougat bootloader or something like that) for lineageos 14.1, it is a requirement to run los on this device and it fixes some bootloader stuff. Though, you may want to get a second opinion on this one because I am no developer whatsoever.

I can't flash rom in TWRP, when I try I get status failed :/ I don't know what to d next :/
Problem is in mounting cache and data partition in internal memory. I think l tried all ways to do that, last one was in adb shell, mount /system ok, mount /data and mount /cache not ok
my conclusions:
I can't flash anything on this tablet, even recovery, I figure it out because I try to flash TWRP version 3.2.1 it works only when i run boot TWRP in fastboot on computer, when I do it in device(run in fastboot mode, select recovery) i got after several minutes TWRP version 2... So, it means that internal memory is broken?
Mine does that too flamner, not sure what to do. I will try a bootloader flash perhaps
I'm gonna keep it simple, here is the scenario:
ROM is corrupted.
Bootloader is unlocked.
FRP lock is on. (fastboot can't do much)
TWRP was flashed back to stock.
Stock hard-reset fails. (even wipe option)
Force upgrade stops at 5% (swear I am using the same one)
eRecovery does not work.
Can't flash. Can't push files.
Wat do.
Model: BLN-L24C567B369 (pretty sure this was it)
Whole story:
This whole episode began when I wanted to install Magisk to use MagiskManager's HideMe feature. This required me to install TWRP recovery which inturn lead me to unlock my bootloader in the process, straightforward and went off nicely. Now it was time to gain superuser which I already had done before on another device, installing SuperSU through TWRP recovery was painless but after booting found out MagiskManager needs Magisk Root to work. I then followed Android Exlpained's article to do so. Running unSU through recovery went smoothly but running Magisk didn't, on the initial run I was prompted to use Adrian DC's BootBridge which after removing a few Assert lines ran nicely. However there was no root install, SuperSU was removed though.
At the time I wasn't sure what exactly I was doing and ended up soft-bricking by flash boot through TWRP, at this time FRP was unlocked. After many many hours I restored to stock firmware by using YMNDLZ's guide. I used BLN-L24C567B370(OTA-MF-FULL) for the img files then proceed to flash the vendor.img using TWRP and the rest (boot.img, recovery.img, system.img) using fastboot in that order as instructed. The only part which didn't work was the forced update, it always failed at 5% however after more hours going recovery mode (now stock) wiping the cache and data/factory reset did the trick (Note: my model showed BLN-L24C567B369). I proceeded to reinstall TWRP, installed MagiskManager, tried to install Magisk 16.0 which ran but didn't root me but was fine because MagiskManager's download worked. I then thought since I went through all this trouble might as well install a custom rom, EliteRom was my ROM of choice. At this point I had logged in with my gmail credentials FRP was now locked.
*Before further action was taken I took the precaution to backup my current stable stock ROM after installing EliteROM but before booting*
The steps to install EliteROM went by flawlessly, installed EliteTWRP reboot into it, ran EliteROM
went through the setup without any hiccups. However up system restart I the ROM wouldn't boot leading me to boot into my recovery only to be prompted for an encryption password (???). Since I didn't recall setting one, couldn't boot into the OS, and FRP was locked I couldn't read my own internal storage. So I reformatted the internal storage and tried what had worked before, flashing the img files using TWRP then booting into stock recovery wiping cache and data/hard reset. . . this did not work. And here I am FRP locked so fastboot isn't useful (I think?), stock recovery doesn't work, eRecovery fails connection, and force update still fails at 5% with "Software install failed!".

you have to follow only xda methods to root or change to custom rom. i have never heard about flashing stock images from twrp. i think u didn't followed elite rom instructions clearly. you need to formate data then reboot to recovery then wipe everything then flash the os in this way you won't get encription error. anyway now your frp is locked so there is no way to flash twrp so download all the available firmwares for your phone oeminfo then do flashing via dload you will get it worked.
even i was also once stuck with elite rom. i didn't liked it because missing apps icon and forgetting permission. i tried to go back to stock but stuck at 5% error. then went to google searched stock rom for honor 6x india and downloaded nearly 3 roms last one worked helped me to get back to stock.
never flash system images boot,vendor etc from fastboot and twrp unless you are on emui8 and going to try gsi roms.
hey i cant revert back to stock rom. it fails to get package from server. does jio voice calling works on this device?? if no then plz guide me how to go back to stock rom..

Register for update using firmware finder and Puts dns address in the router settings and then use erecovery
Requirements:
1. Bootloader Must Be Unlocked.
2. Have a backup of your working Magisk Patched boot.img saved to your External SDcard.A little INFO:
The Sony L1 recovery seems to be disabled by SONY for some unknown and Probably stupid reason.
I have tried all ways to get the TWRP and Stock recovery to boot up from the fotakernel partition (recovery) but TWRP and even the stock recovery refuse to boot.
Anyway to cut a very long story short I am releasing this TWRP which is 95% functional and needs to be flashed to the boot partition
Working Method/flow:
Make sure you have a Back up of your working Boot.img "You know the one you used to root the device in the first place".
For ease of use You can use this app by XDA dev @wanam (Thread here) app on playstore Here You can also use this app to flash the v5-twrp-l1.img to your "boot" partition or you can go old skool and use dd (Via adb shell) or use the Magisk patched_boot.img you first rooted with..
Make SURE to Copy this working boot.img to your External SDcard.
When you require TWRP flash the downloaded TWRP to your boot partition using Fastboot (cmd's below) or the above app then reboot
You will now boot to TWRP.
Do what you need to do in TWRP.
IMPORTANT:
Remember Just before you leave TWRP go to INSTALL choose your external SDCard choose "image" from the install screen find your boot.img and select "boot" with the little radio button.
Once flashed choose reboot system.
Now when you boot you will be back to normal :good:
Things Not Working:
1. You will not be able to mount encrypted data therefore you would need to FORMAT your data and then leave it unencrypted.
SuperSU and Magisk will disable forceencrypt for you.
2. Does not Charge or show battery % so I don't know if it's actually charging. (Probably Qnovo battery module used by sony)
It will probably work on all variants but I am not able to test that.
It's use is for backups and restores wipes and installs for which it seems fully functional. :good:
Install Instructios.
Boot to the bootloader then
Code:
fastboot flash boot v5-twrp-l1.img
Then
Code:
fastboot reboot
Download HERE v5-twrp-l1.img
Hi @bigrammy!! I have it booting ok, obviously encryption is not working! I was able to do a backup but couldn't boot back into system, just keeps going back to twrp! I had to flashi the patched 3313 boot image from another post to get back into system! Good work though! Tested on g3311

:laugh:
Ok maybe I should update the OP as it seems it's not really clear enough that obviously the boot is replaced by the recovery.
Method would be make sure you have a Back up your working Boot.img You know the one you used to root the device in the first place.
You can also use dd (Via adb shell) or a app from the playstore or better still use the Magisk patched_boot.img .
Copy this working boot.img to your External SDcard.
When required flash the recovery to your boot partition using Fastboot then reboot
You will now boot to TWRP.
Do what you need to do in TWRP.
Then just before you leave TWRP go to INSTALL choose your external SDCard choose "image" from the install screen find your boot.img and select "boot" with the little radio button.
Once flashed choose reboot system.
Now when you boot you will be back to normal :good:
OP Updated let me know if it's clearer to understand now.
Thanks for reporting back. :good:
I'll give it a go! Many thanks! Just one question though. How do I enter recovery mode from then on? Is it still power down, power and volume down yeah?

I don't think you have really read or understood the OP
You are only ever flashing the "boot partition".
When you need to use TWRP you flash the TWRP.img to the boot partition and when your done you flash back your boot.img again to the boot partition as in the OP.
BTW Have you ever been able to enter the STOCK recovery using Power and Volume Down or using any commands
My phone could not enter the STOCK recovery at all let alone a custom one and since no one ever replied to my question about this I assumed this was the case for everyone as many sony devices from 7.0 had the recovery disabled?
I'm unable to get into stock recovery too!
So,
If we don't have a Recovery partition maybe we can
Create one...

I'll try it if i have time.
I tested twrp 2 times
Worked every time.
I've tried to install superSu.zip via twrp, looked all right, rebooted the phone and now it's in bootloop for over 2 hours...
It's getting hotter... i ca't turn it off
The only thing that works is keeping Power and Volume Up pressed and it looks restarting...
What can i do to revive it safely?

Mate you really need to be careful unless you really know what your doing
You will likely brick the phone if you continue to blindly mess with re-partitioning and the like.
If you were in TWRP which was flashed to the boot partition as directed in the OP then flashing the supersu.zip will simply modify your TWRP.img not your boot.img since TWRP is living in the boot partition at the time you run the .zip hence your looping.
This device has bootloader issues since it will not allow the booting of another partition except "boot" recovery, fotakernel, rdimage, all tested all failed to boot the TWRP recovery and stock recovery.
There is another method used by some sony devices but this will need to be heavily modified for this MediaTek SoC and will require a lot of study and script re-writes.
Spending all this time on a device that's pretty much obsolete before it was launched since it's not planned to receive oreo and Sony 90% locked down the bootloader is kinda futile so use the phone for what it is then throw it in the bin when done in a year or two.
Mate, you are right

I think this one may very well work for the dual SIM also so please try it and then report back with some actual details.
eg: bootloader status, firmware version, your region, etc etc.
Thanks.
Works great on the G3113 model, thank you for developing this! Now hoping to find a custom rom to install via .zip.
This "HERE v5-twrp-l1.img" is working in my Xperia L1 G3312.
But, after installing TWRP, phone does not get into boot normally. Everytime it boots into recovery mode. I think that it needs separate twrp partition. This twrp is overwriting the main boot. If anyone can make separate partition for TWRP recovery. This problem will be solved.
Hello. I ignored all your post like a retard and basically just went to the last step to flash the image. The twrp works but it wouldn't boot into normal mode but just boot to twrp everytime so I downloaded some random boot image I saw online and installed it. Now it's just stuck in the sony logo and won't even turn off. Is there anything I can do or is it rip for good?

No it's only the boot.img Flash the boot.img in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l1/how-to/root-l1-g3313-magisk-t3693350 if you can get into fastboot that is.
If not then use FlashTool to flash the stock boot.sin and system.sin only. That should get you working again.

In twrp mode, I can do everything smoothly..... but phone does not get into boot normally..... After installing stock boot again, phone boot into normally, but twrp has gone completely..... So, it is clear that boot & twrp partition overwrites each other due to no separate partition.... So, we need separate partition for boot & twrp.... then everything will be solved...

Yes but Sony Disabled the recovery partition (fotakernel) by design so you can not boot from it.
The OP is clear about the need to flash the TWRP to your boot partition and the reason I also give full instruction in the workflow/method but people simply don't read anymore it seems. :crying:
TWRP can be injected into the boot.img so you can boot normally or boot TWRP using the volume keys at boot time but I can't be bothered working on this since Sony are not going to update the Android Version.
While the phone is OK I have far better phones to spend my time on at the moment.
how to backup boot.img without root? if its impossible then how do i root this phone?
Today I tried to finally update to the latest version of crDroid, but ended up having a bunch of issues doing so, and after a lot of troubleshooting and trying to fix it, I ended up putting it into a bootloop of some sort instead.
I'm pretty sure the last thing I tried was installing a different version of TWRP to see if that version would let me properly install the rom, and stop my phone from always rebooting into recovery mode.
Trying to turn it on normally or boot into TWRP leaves it hanging on the "Redmi" boot screen, it can boot into fastboot mode though.
I'm guessing that the only way to recover my phone at this point is to flash the Official MIUI rom back onto the phone, but that also involves wiping Data and losing pretty much everything I've put on the phone.
I was smart enough to make a TWRP of the Data folder, but while making the backup, the console said it doesn't include all personal files or something.
How much of my personal data and files can I rescue from the phone in this state, and how can I do that before it gets wiped when fixing it?
Also, I think I really need some help in actually restoring my phone and flashing the custom rom properly.
No matter how much effort I put into figuring out how to do this stuff, unexpected issues always seem to happen, and turns something that initially seemed so simple into multiple hours of troubleshooting.
The only way I think i've gotten rom flashing to work at all was by wiping everything and installing the official MIUI rom, but I don't want to be losing my data every month when an update comes out.
So, could someone please help me get my phone working again?
Edit: I ended up fixing my own issue by ADB flashing on a different release of TWRP, and then installing fcrypt disabler after the rom but before everything else.

Unfortunately, I can't.
Trying to boot into TWRP just gets stuck on the 'Redmi' boot logo.
I just remembered that you can install TWRP over ADB, and that Peter's one says it works even when the system partition is empty, so maybe the issue is the TWRP I installed and could possibly undo this part of the issue over ADB.
It won't fix the issue preventing my from updating my rom, but recovery only is still better than a soft brick.
Edit: That worked, i've put Peter's TWRP back on, and it's launching into recovery mode/TWRP again now
twrp not boot after successfully flash in this rom

if your problem is not solve then tell me you need to flash a fastboot rom first with save user data.bat file and when it installed then you can install twrp builder 3.2.1. and then boot to twrp this methods working fine,if you recently flashed any android 10 rom then first you need to flash a miui fastboot rom,or flash it via command mode direct only 3 files
first click on extract a fastboot rom and copy boot system and vender file with flash.all bat file and make a new folder then click on flash.bat save user data file to flash these images
or you can do this manually
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vender vender.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then reboot device to fastboot again
now flash latest official twrp builder 3.2.3.1 img twrp and take all your data backup,
in fastboot flash latest miui do not downgrade direct otherwise you lost your data,

In the end, I did try orangefox, and it might have been part of why it worked.
However, the crDroid installation instructions specifically mentions using Peter's TWRP, so I initially used that one.

Thank you for the effort you put into typing up a guide to help me, but I ended up fixing my own problem.
I was able to use fastboot to flash on a better TWRP release, and then get the rom to install properly by installing fcrypt-disabler just after it.

No matter how much effort I put into figuring out how to do this stuff, unexpected issues always seem to happen, and turns something that initially seemed so simple into multiple hours of troubleshooting.
The only way I think i've gotten rom flashing to work at all was by wiping everything and installing the official MIUI rom, but I don't want to be losing my data every month when an update comes out.
So, could someone please help me get my phone working again?
Edit: I ended up fixing my own issue by ADB flashing on a different release of TWRP, and then installing fcrypt disabler after the rom but before everything else.

If you can access fastboot, then flash TWRP.... Enter recovery, wipe your system partitions and then flash the Stock MIUI ROM or use the MiFlash tool. Make sure you aren't flashing an older version of the ROM than the onle already installed.
