Hi. I have an Indian variant Motorola turbo. I am on a custom ROM(forgot the name acually) and thougt everything was working till my phone rebooted suddenly and went into recovery mode. Since then I have been trying to resurrect the phone but failing. Could someone here can help me to resurrect my phone back? I would reward you for your help..
Note : Tried all possible ways to get my phone back but its staying only in bootloader No matter what i do.
Update August 2020 : While taking out my things, I found my moto maxx, and after looking at it i wanted to give a try once again. If someone can help in bringing my mobile back to life. Attacing the images of the logs on the screen. Only bootloader is seen always. Please help me. I can pay more to someone who could help me.
was this on a fresh install? was this working for like a week or longer and then **** the bed? is it charged fully? can you reinstall the ROM fresh and have it boot? might have to brush up on mfastboot commands and getting access to push files to the memory so you can flash the ROM again.......
Did you somehow get your bootloader from unlocked state to relocked?

Ok tell me a few things,
1) were you on the latest firmware while unlocking bootloader?i.e, were you on the latest update of Android 6.0 while unlocking bootloader?
2) Have you tried flashing the stock rom ? While flashing stock rom you must edit the update script and remove the line which flashes the partition.
3) Was the custom rom working fine? Or did the issue start as soon as you flashed the ROM?
4)Can you go to recovery? If no what is happening when you try to go to recovery?

I just wanted to make sure that I understood the process of returning my phone to stock before I make a mistake.
All I've done since I purchased the phone was root it and unlock the bootloader. I have not loaded any custom roms.
So If I understand this correctly I need to:
1) Flash the Stock Image (which should include the stock recovery?)
2) Use fastboot to lock the bootloader
The reason I'm wanting to return the phone to stock is to receive OTA updates. I never use any apps requiring root, and don't plan on loading any custom roms.
I never did find a 2.3.4 stock image for the I9020A..
you should actually be able to get ota updates no problem. it'll just remove root every time you update.
it's probably not a good idea to lock the bootloader though cause if you ever want to unlock it again in the future you'll have to wipe everything from your phone. your best bet is to just flash stock recovery so you can install the update
i'm pretty sure that works, but hopefully someone else can verify just so you don't get some bad information lol
I heard the same thing about OTA updates. If you're phone is rooted and you're using the original rom, you'll get the update but you'll have to root your phone once again.
I haven't tried this myself so I cannot verify it.
It's just the word on the street, you know!

you need stock everything, so stock kernel, rom, radio, etc... the op should be fine to update if they flash stock recovery though. rooting is simple from there

Thanks kibmcz ! I'm a n00b when it comes to this but when you say flash via ClockworkMod you mean get into clockwork recovery mount the usb, transfer the zip onto the SD card and then <<Install from zip>> ?
Is that the method?

Thanks again kibmcz, so I just completed the flash, then did a fastbook oem lock.
Seems to be working fine except for one thing...
When I go into settings and hit Sound I get a Force close when I try and select a new ringtone...
Should I try reflashing again?

Didn't happen on mine (In fact im using a self rooted rom based on that exact stock zip) try doing a wipe in stock recovery.
after flashing that does it take it back to out of box condition?
reason i ask is because i bought a already rooted and unlocked one here from market place and i want to return it to stock firmware, radio, kernel and such to recieve OTA updates and what not.
your info is greatly appreciated

Using my zip yes... it flashes Bootloader, Radio, Boot, System and on first boot (and any other time recovery changes) Recovery is flashed. All you got to to is lock the bootloader and that wipes user data and usb storage.
hey man i appreciate you coming forward with a solution, ive yet to recieve the phone but wanted to prepare.
my goal is to flash everything back to stock and start completly over whereas i have no clue what method was originally used to root and unlock the bootloader.
when the time comes hope you dont mind a PM if i have any extra questions.

Just did the method using the stock ROM provided by kibmcz "thanks BTW!"
Phone is back to stock, working like it did when I first bought it. Had a little trouble with some Force Close issues but did a factory reset/data clear of the cache and all that before re-flashing, and it seems to be working Vanilla!

Hi I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM
I have a moto g unlocked phone. I would root this phone but it failed with rooting. Now i would relock the bootloader and install the stock rom. As install the stock rom all file install but the system files aren'T install. It says,,failed to validate system image,,. i reboot it it says that is unlocked, turns off, turns on with the unlocked message and then come a android with a red triangle Now my question is can i install with usb otg cyanogenmod or stock rom
PLEASE FOR HELP
PS: i can go to the fastboot
Why do you want to relock the Bootloader? As i read people got in trouble after doing this. Not sure, never tried it since i have unlocked it. What happend when you tried to root? Error message? Which method? Are you sure you are using the right stock rom which you wanna restore?
Follow this guide to restore your phone.

I think i have rooted. My phone turns on and the display goes purpell. And then comes without root. Thanks for the link but it comes the same error message
Are you sure you are using the right stock rom you want to flash?
Are you flashing sparsechunk files?
If you flash sparsechunk files, keep in mind that you have to type the proper filename.
In the tutorial it is to flash sparsechunk like this:
Code:
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk[B]1[/B]
Maybe your first sparsechunk file is 0 not 1.
Extract Zip file and check.

You either have a modified system file or a file left over from being rooted. The easiest and fastest solution would be to fastboot flash the system image. You could of course flash the factory image.

Well now i remember changing the mixer_path.xml ... Will i have to unlock my bootloader to flash the factory image as i had rooted my phone with towelroot so i didnt have to do it earlier..
Also is it possible to replace the mixer path file with the original one from the internet

That sucks! ; ) I've always used the sdk so I don't know a whole lot about towelroot. Your bootloader will have to be unlocked to flash the factory image. If you can reroot you could then use the app BootUnlocker.
I just looked and I don't have the stock mixer_paths.xml anymore or I would link to it.

Thankyou for your efforts and advise. I guess i will just rerrot with towelroot, unclock the bootloader with the app you suggestee and flash factory image..
Btw. Will flashing the factory image unroot my phone and lock the bootloader or is there some procedure that needs to be done to do that?

Flashing the factory image or a system image will always unroot your device. Lock the bootloader using the sdk. The command is fastboot oem lock.
Is there a reason why OP needs locked bootloader? Just leave it unlocked, unless you have a really strong reason to. It will spare you hassles in the future.
That said, after unlocking bootloader, you can (at least, we could in the past) flash the update file through twrp (you just need to fastboot boot twrp.img and then flash the update), that will tell you exactly what file(s) doesn't match. Those are the ones you need to replace back to stock.

Hi, Is it possible to go back to 4.4.4 from 6.0.1?
i think its possible , with cm11s. just try it, and let us know ! dont forget to backup , just incase
its CM13 back to CM11. Which software should I use. Read a lot of topics but, which one is for my phone?
I think you'll have to download 44s firmware and install it before you proceed with the rom.

You can! There are multiple way to do it:
First of all, you have the option to dual boot your phone with 4.4.4 using multirom or EFIdroid (not sure about EFIdroid)
You can just flash the full 4.4.4 zip as secondary rom, however! you NEED to flash the 4.4.4 modem in order to make the proximity sensor to work.
You can also just flash 4.4.4 as main ROM without using multirom or EFIdroid, make sure you wipe all the partitions first, then flash the full rom.
There is also the QHS_Bulk way.
First restore your phone using the color.zip in this guide.
When on color os (the chinese 4.4.4) you can fastboot flash the cm11s rom over it (step 4 in the guide, but make sure you use the cm11s rom).
Have fun!
You can but you need to flash KitKat firmware for oneplus one, also you need to find a compatible recovery menu to flash the ROM and firmware. Be sure to keep a backup of anything goes wrong
try this https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/how-to-back-to-stock-repair-system.225170/#post-8737053 , it might help.
Thanks all for the replies. I am a complete noob at this.
So what do I need to do exactly. I know my mums phone still has 4.4.4. so it is possible.
I have backup everything now so not afraid to lose any data anymore.

You can just flash stock COS from fastboot

Yes sorry i forgot to explain better, but I though was implicit ?
I've had my phone rooted with Magisk for months. In these months I've tried many Custom ROMs and have tripped the Knox counter. Yesterday, I stupidly turned off developer options as an app I was downloading said it wouldn't run with them on. Later on, I rebooted my phone, only to get FRP locked due to (I assume) previous Custom ROM flashing.
I tried for about 9 or so hours to sort it out myself with Odin and various guides saying I could flash ADB onto the phone and enable Developer Options from there. I have no idea how to fix it anymore and was wondering if anyone could help. I saw a thread somewhere that solved the issue, however, I can no longer find the thread.
As far as I know, all I can do is go into Download Mode to use Odin. Is it possible to fix my phone or is it completely bricked?
I'll give you one american dollar or 1 billionth of a bitcoin!
Sorry bro! I've always found persistence works best! So don't give it up.

You can fix it, you just need to flash a stock ROM that is either the same as the last stock ROM that was installed on it, or newer/has the same or newer bootloader.
If you try to flash an older one, you'll get an error in odin, because you're trying to downgrade the bootloader.

remember to enable OEM unlock in developer settings before flashing another custom ROM.
