Every time I try to flash an OS image on my Pixel (first generation) I get the "No OS installed! Are you sure you want to reboot?" message. It's not kidding either - when I rebooted anyway the phone went into an endless restart loop that only stopped when the battery ran out. Wouldn't even respond to the power button. I managed to get back to the bootloader and reinstall TWRP, but every OS image I try to install, including the latest factory image, gives me the same problem.
The bootloader is unlocked, and I am using TWRP 3.2.3-1. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi, I have a republic wireless moto x I just successfully rooted and updated to 4.4.2 from 4.2.2 with a locked bootloader with no write protection (wp)
Since I updated it to 4.4.2 I have this error that pops up that I can not resolve
"Unfortunately, the process com.motorola.process.system has stopped"
I googled several pages of several website results and several pages of google but can not find the solution.
Solutions found was to:
Safe Mode (I tried this first with no apps installed on non safemode and non system apps updated, didn't work and popped up even on safe mode)
Change date & time method (didn't work)
Wipe Cache (didn't work)
Wipe Cache & dalvik cache (didn't work)
I am debating about factory reset but unsure if it will make me lose my root because I have a locked bootloader (if that matters in anyway I am still new to this, and that my moto x is from republic wireless not like other carriers with unlocked bootloaders).
Please help me and discuss with me how I can get rid of that error. Or point me to the right path.
Do you have a Custom Recovery Installed ? If not, then that would be your first Step. There's a Moto X Link in my signature that will help you install one. Once that is done, you can do factory reset from inside the Recovery. But before you boot, make sure to flash SuperUser Zip File from the Recovery.

Hello. Not sure how to answer this because I am still new to it.
I have the SafeStrap App, it says "State: Installed" above Install Recovery / Uninstall Recovery & "Safe System: Not Active" over Reboot to Recovery" version 3.65.
I do have a SafeStrap (TWRP) and have a backup but not sure if it is on 4.2.2 or 4.4.2.
If I did a recovery, which parts will it back up or all of it? Because I don't want that error to show up. It is driving me nuts.
Can you further assist me with what I replied before I do that recovery?
I see that you have already Opened another Thread on the Moto X forum.

Hi XDADev Community,
I am a new owner of a OnePlus One 64GB China edition- running ColorOS. I was very dissatisfied with ColorOS, and wished to update to Cyanogenmod 11.
Here is what I have done so far:
- Insatlled SDK and all drivers on Win8.1
- Used Bacon Root Toolkit (by Wug) to unlock and root device
- Transferred over the cm-11.0-XNPH44S-bacon-signed-fastboot and gapps-kk-20140606-signed to my device's SD
- Booted into TWRP
Now, when I go to Install and try to run the bacon fastboot, I get a failed message. I am guessing I have a damaged or incomplete image, however I did download this from Cyanogenmod directly. I am unable to boot the phone, and I am stuck in TWRP. I am somewhat technically inclined, however I must be honest that this is my first rooting of any device.
Should I be trying a sideboot? Restore to factory ColorOS? Start from scratch? I have no idea what my next step is, and after hours and hours of reviewing threads and youtube videos, I am at my wits end. I would not have posted if I didn't find the answer for my issue.
I am hoping that someone can assist me, or at least point me in the right direction. I am happy to reward any assistance received. I thank you in advance for your time. Thanks!
see if it helps

You've made a couple of errors. Firstly, you don't need a separate gapps package because CM11S contains gapps. Next, the cm-11.0-XNPH44S-bacon-signed-fastboot is not a ROM zip that you flash in recovery, they need to be flashed via fastboot. This is a pretty serious error, you need to be more careful and do more research so you have a better understanding of what you're doing because errors like this can lead to a bricked device.
Anyway, I have detailed instructions on how to flash the fastboot images in my guide thread here:

That doesn't have anything to do with what he's talking about.

So got an interesting issue
My c6603 has no usb port (broke)
BUT does have full root running existance and can access adb via wifi
The problem i have is i haven't used recovery for a while and wanted to upgrade to lolipop (ExistanceY).
If i reboot i cant get into it and there is no pink light
Using shell to reboot to recovery, a shortcut or adb also does not work. just boots up as normal.
Any ideas
I have tried reimaging fotakernel with TWRP but nothing. the recovery installers dont work either they either come up that they cant find the partition or doesn't have an image for the device or comes back as successfull
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Your best bet is to ask in your device specific forum, which I see you know where it is. But just in case, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z. They are the experts on your device. But you have another issue too. Since 5.x you have to be stock, no root, for the updates to work. Check you device specific forum for more information.
cheers, that page is actually open in my other tab, created a new post in the wrong one. my bad. again cheers

Hello to all the community, I am a little new in these topics but nothing more than guided me by instructions and a little intuition. I have followed this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
In step 10, I've done everything I asked to format my nexus 6p. What I wanted to do, is that my Nexus 6p install root and TWRP as recovery. The problem is that, when trying to update my system to a new android version (from system configuration and update), the update was downloaded and the phone restarted, but when it restarted it sent me to the TWRP recovery and it did not let me install it, so I decided to find how to delete the TWRP recovery and format the phone to remove the root and I ran into that guide that I put above.
So, I followed all the steps in step 10 except the part where it says "block bootloader", so I have the bootloader still unlocked (thank goodness), install the angler 7.1.2 and restart the device but now I'm stuck in the boot animation (where there are circling circles and random things).
I ask for your help, which is the most expert topic I know about this. This was the topic I found to ask for help, if it is not the right topic I ask you please move it.
Thank you!

Thanks for your answer. I already solved it, at the end of the guide I did not follow a step and that's why I could not start android. So before finishing everything, install TWRP recovery and opened it to clear cache / dalvink and it worked normally. The strange thing was that I installed version 7.1.2 in image but I get 8.0.0 in android. Well at least it works. Thank you as well!
Good day to you all
so Ive got a problem here when trying to install custom ROM in my phone,
so I have my old phone LG g4( h815 EU Version)which are not used anymore and I thought of giving it a new life by wanting to use custom ROM (Lineage OS) and using the android orei(8.1)
So I've read here and there and decide to try it,so here's what I've done until my phone is finally bricked.
I managed to unlock the boot-loader of my phone officially using the LG set ups
then I managed to get into the TWRP Recovery
so after then I wipe the data and cache in my phone using TWRP, and the next thing I do is to install the LineAge os that Ive download right? ,the problem Is I zipped the Lineage OS files and put it into my Phone Internal Storage, so when I want to install the OS I Choose the "Install by Image" in TWRP and choose the "boot.img" and after that I reboot the phone because It seems it was stuck on TWRP loading screen. Then now my phone is stuck on the LG Boot screen with "bootloader unlocked " on top of the screen. I've tried to try the recovery mode but it just wont do anything, I cant do fastboot also because somehow even though connected with usb cable and installing other adb drivers the devices just wont be recognized, so now I am stuck in these booting screen with no way of getting out.
So my question is, is there any way I can either factory reset them or anything, I dont need to save any data as it was already factory unlocked before i tried this method and Ive saved all the data before, but is my phone still could be saved or there's nothing I could do with it and regard this as a very foolish experience because of my negligence, any feedback would be appreciated.
Thank you very much
