XT1225 - Stock ROM works fine, custom ROMs don´t load - Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was using the RR ROM (don´t remember wich version) and someday the screen starts to froze often, I manage to go to TWRP and did the wipes and re-flash the ROM, but it got stucked in RR logo, until reboot to recovery. I tried to flash different ROM's, but no different results. So I flash the Stock ROM, the TWRP version that I found here in the forum, and it worked!! But then again I tried to install a custom ROM and it not load, I don't know what problem it could be. So if someone here have any ideas I really appreciate the help!

Hoy. Did you tried to flash a stock rom with RSD lite? I always fully re-flash after a custom ROM. But imo custom roms don't sit well with Moto Maxx, they drain battery super fast. Back when mine was new i could get like 4 days of battery in the OEM rom, just debloated. With 6.0.1 i get at least one day, but with a custom rom i'm lucky if i get near that now.

[Q] Cant Install any custom ROMs

Ok, this is weird, a while ago i didnt had any problems installing any kind of custom rom, used CWM while wiping everything... eveything was OK, ROM worked OK, etc... But one time i installed a ROM (Slimkat) and i lost signal, tried to use my recovery of stock android but it didnt work, so i tried a lot of things untill i got bootlop without being able to install anything since some files were missing, bad luck
After that, i just reflash stock 4.3 and upgrade from there 4.4.2, everything fine again... except that i cant install any kind of ROM, every ROM says "installation succesful" but everyone is stuck into bootloop.
While i havent tried ALL ROMS i have tried the same ones i was using (Nexus G+, LiquidSmooth and CM11), so i guess this problem is coming from my device.
On a side note, i tried to factory reset, but no luck... it shows the Android working but it inmediately turns the screen off, and then it shows it again and then off again... in an infinite loop
Same problem!
Bump.
I just got my Moto G yesterday (European XT1032), updated to 4.4.2, unlocked bootloader, rooted with superboot and flashed Philz Touch CWM.
Seems I have done everything by the book, wipes included, but no luck. I tried Slimkat, Paranoid and Codename Lungo (latest builds as of 3/12).

Hmmm... Pay attention to which version of Bootloader you are using.
You might want to try both 4.3 and 4.4 to see which one would work.
Extract the motoboot.img from the stock .zip image for your phone, then flash with mflashboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
Good luck!

Thanks. I'll give that a try. Is there a way to check bootloader version on the phone? If that doesn't work out I'll start from scratch and report back in this thread..

Hmmm.. I see there is a version number on mine, 41.05 dated 2013-12-06, but I'm not sure if that's the version or not.
And yeah... if changing the bootloader doesn't help, you probably would have to restore from the stock image and start over..
Got root and custom roms working after I 1.) downgraded to 4.3 and 2.) flash TWRP (instead of CWM).
So I'm not sure what the problem was. Besides the two main rooting methods (superboot and custom recovery), there are some other methods described on the forum specifically for people who already did a international variant OTA to 4.4.2. and one that is absolete (here) but apparently works for some when the two main methods fail.
However I'm still not sure if this solved everything. I am not sure if I can flash Cyanogenmod (which is 4.4.2) over a 4.3 firmware. Maybe I need to manually flash a 4.4.2 radio or something... Gonna check that out next...
EDIT: No need to downgrade. Not sure how it works but two main root methods (superboot and custom recovery) didn't work for me. Somehow I got stuck in boot animation. Just installed TWRP instead of CWM after Kitkat firmware (EU Retail) and rooted (/installed Super Su) from there. Everything works fine now.

[Q] Custom ROMs won't boot

Hey guys, I've seen this issue before yet I've tried everything in a few threads now but have no idea what is happening,I have tried using search function yet no solution has fixed my problem.
Problem:
When installing custom ROMs the installation goes fine. I put the ROM on the sdcard, follow instructions for flashing e.g wipe data/cache etc and then flash GAPPS. However I get stuck on the boot logo of every ROM. I've tried both TWRP and CWM recoveries, both with no luck. Also tried not flashing GAPPS and just trying to flash the ROM to no avail.
Current state of phone:
The phone is currently running stock firmware via downloading factory image and flashing in boot-loader : stock boot, recovery, system image etc
The phone works fine when rooted on stock firmware. E.g no custom rom yet rooted.
Could really do with some help guys, any ideas?

same problem simple solution another user informed me of.
simply donwgrade to 4.3 JB stock rom through fastboot. Then you are able to flash a custm rom from the 4.3 stock rom.
Its crazy i have to do this but it worked for me, now im running the xperience rom which is a rom based on 4.4.2 kk.
the 4.3 android stock firmwares are linked somewhere in the FAQ's as well as the guide to ffastboot lash it.
peace.

Hey man, worked a charm thanks!
For users who may have the same problem:
After flashing 4.3 onto the device it did NOT boot.
- However I then went into the bootloader flashed custom recovery, I used cwm.
- Then I went into recovery, used adb to push the rom and gapps onto sdcard
- Full wipe and then installed rom. Then installed gapps
Working fine.

Huawei honor 3c h30-u10 boot up woes after flashing

I tried a cm12.1 rom which used to get flashed perfectly without any issues earlier. Then i encountered some problems with the ROM and i decided to flash the stock international kitkat rom(yes, i followed the correct procedure from the guide by @codelover). I didn't unlock the bootloader nor root it nor flashed a custom recovery.
For the past few day's i've been trying to install the same cm 12.1 rom and some new cm12.1 roms(updated versions, here is the link:https://userscloud.com/go/kgu385awbw9z/) but without any luck. After flashing either of the roms, the phone boots up fine till the stage where it shows the static honor logo(non-animated one) but after that it just shows a black screen and just stays there.
If i reflash stock B115, B108-signed 4.2.2 roms and B320 kitkat rom, it happens perfectly. But if i flash any other roms (after unlocking the bootloader and flashing custom recovery by following the guide), the black screen problem pops up(which didn't used to happen earlier). AGAIN i have tried the older cm12.1 ROM whose zip file has been stored on the sd card since that day without any modifications, so there's no chance of the ROM being tampered with.
I have tried hard resetting it by deleting emmc partitions and then reflashing the stock roms, but still the problem pertains after flashing the custom roms.
Does anyone know where i might be going wrong or what the problem is?

Are you on stock Lollipop (5.0.2) or custom ROM? custom kernel? Are you undervolted? (problems like you are describing can happen from undervolting)
Are you rooted? do you have TWRP custom recovery?
There's variables which can cause what you are experiencing. One of the first things you can do is boot into recovery, clear all caches and let the apps optimize on bootup.
If you are on stock Lollipop and wish to remain there, you can re-flash factory image. There's threads here which have the XT1250 5.0.2 factory image. If in settings it says you are on 5.1.1, then you are not on stock Lollipop, you are on a custom Lollipop ROM.
If you are on custom ROM, you can re-flash that ROM, but for now do not flash a custom kernel. I like BHB27 kernel, but that introduces more variables while we are trying to trouble shoot a problem.

I already tried to reset it to factory reset on recovery mode but the problem remain. I'm in stock Lollipop without root. I do not have anything special installed (whatsapp, telegram, nova launcher, and some minor app). This morning i see that the problem seems appear only when the smartphone is in my pocket but can be only a coincidence.

Need help installing custom rom

Hi all,
I'm really struggling to get my head around flashing custom rom to the OnePlus 7 Pro. I have the phone for years and love it but just now trying to flash a custom rom.
I have unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP. When I download the Pixel Experience Rom and flash that it says it's flashing to slot A (inactive) and then after reboot I'm still on old rom.
Can anyone give me a real idiots guide to flashing a rom? I'm getting old and my brain is slow.
Thanks
