Hey guys, love all the work that goes on in this forum.
I've run into a bit of a problem. My mate gave me his phone to try and fix after he interrupted a factory reset. It's stuck in a bootloop.
It's a RAZR HD and was originally from Telstra (Aus).
I've managed to unlock the bootloader, but quickly after that everything has gone to hell.
When I turn the phone on, it gives the bootloader is unlocked message. Then the android installation guy comes up and after about 5 seconds of trying to install the phone bootloops.
I am able to enter the Android System Recovery (3e) and have done factory reset/wipe data and wipe cache options, however does not change anything. When I press reboot system, the bootloop continues as if I did nothing. I have tried installing a ROM from an SD card however it fails at the Verifying Package stage. I am unable to adb push anything as usb debugging wasn't turned on.
I am able to enter into fastboot and can see my device however cannot flash any images from there for some reason using the fastboot commands (it comes up with a <bootloader> variable not supported! error: cannot load '[name of image file]'
I was able to use RSD Lite to flash the official Telstra ROM to the phone, however at the very end of the installation when it rebooted, it just went into the bootloop again.
Any help would be muchly appreciated.
Thanks guys!
Anyone?
I was able to get adb sideload to work (I had the wrong path name to the zip file) but still no luck...

try mfastboot and flash the partition table first, if that fails, there is no hope of saving the device. if it passes, flash the rest of the files, including the wipe command.

Thanks for the reply. When you say flash the partition table first, would that be the partition_signed file (aka mfastboot flash partition partition_signed)?

Yes finally. You have to download the update file for whatever version of the rom you currently have installed. Then extract userdata, boot, system, and erecovery1 and erecovery2 images. Fastboot flash them in bootloader mode. Reboot device. Shutdown device. Boot to system recovery and do a full system restore. All set.

Hello Guys,
Please help me in the following case.
I have a Mate 7 TL-10. Originally, it was from China, it's system was Chinese.
Today, I rooted, I changed the location from CN to EU (I am from Hungary). Everything was okay, I wanted to flash a new (European) ROM, but before it, I wanted to wipe. Oh, no! Here, I was stupid. I wiped everything by that recovery, what the SRK Tool installs.
I lost everything, it wrote me, that no OS. I cannot enter to the recovery, it stucked at the Huawei logo. I even cannot switch the phone off, it only restarts!
Can you please help me to solve this problem and survive my phone?
Thank you for all in advance.

Hello!
Than kyou very much for your help. Yesterday night, I could survive the phone, this is what I did:
VOL- and POWER: fastboot mode
In fastboot mode, I connected to the PC and (beofr it, I downloaded an update.zip and extracted:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now, it is working (seems to be) But what should I do with the other .img files from the update.zip?
Do I have to do any other steps? I think yes, 'cause if I check the Vendor info in th*#*#2846579#*#* menu, there is no country code in my phone
Can you help me, what should I do?
Thank you for your help again.

First off all you should flash your regional firmware(original) then if you want to change region changing region is not big deal download the official one and flash by putting update.app into dload folder in sd card and flash by force update and if you are able to flash recovery then flash twrp recovery and flash custom rom like @chudy rom & @Ale rom if you stay in official states then flash chudy rom much likely to stock and if you like custom rom then flash Ale rom which I use and many other.
Flash twrp recovery and make a full backup then wipe all without sd card and then flash the rom zip file after that wipe both cache and reboot first time it'll take some time but don't worry keep it booting you all done..
Further help needed please ask.:good:

same probleme here can you help me?
Not sure what to do, I flashed the fastboot stock rom files, yet still to no avail. Phone can enter fastboot, but it won't go further, can't flash TWRP or boot it even. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :silly:
It instantly goes to Qualcomm Crash Dump everytime I try to boot the phone or go to recovery, also in fastboot, it says product name is "sdm845" Is that correct?
Did you get the correct fastboot image that matches the firmware?
try to flash full stock fastboot rom, you'll find it in the guides section, all you have to do is to download it, put your phone on fastboot, and copen the .bat file and wait for it to finish
Follow this guide

^^^ THIS! Saved my butt on numerous occasions. Was on Hydorgyen Beta 5 and tried to flash back OOS and it would keep booting into the crash/dump screen. Then it refused to boot. Following the attached got me back to full stock with a locked bootloader.
So I've been pulling hair for 2 days. I can flash everything fine recovery boots fastboot. But it consistently says no OS on either slots. Tried flashing stock to both went all the way through loading lineage and same thing. I'm at wits end. Also not a single password I put in decrypts data.
Also Metro/Tmob variant xt2131-1 bootloader unlocked.
Have you tied fastboot -w? It sounds like the partitions are messed up.
I have. I've done all of the above just still a persistent boot loop.

Currently retrying to flash stock firmware with a Motorola flashing program. Will let you know here in about 2 min.

Yep. Again boot loop. Says no OS. Stock recovery says last installation failed. Flashing the service flash package to see if that makes a difference. Hopefully because it says it reflashed my bootloader and stock recovery.

The motorola program formats the partitions before flash unlike an automated fastboot flash. The only issue I can see is a physical issue with the UFS/EMMC 5.1 chip, maybe even the ram(very unlikely). Had there been any warning signs such as the phone rebooting randomly or freezing? Motorola has a one year warranty for all devices.
No nothing of the sort. I did a factory reset because I was gonna try out lineage and this is where I'm at now. Still no OS. Even after flashing 3 times. I did have a remote access trojan that rewrote my partition data and resized one and added one and used the root hidden partition to store the data in while it was being transferred.
This drive folder has the system, system_ext, vandor and product of the xt2131-1 that can be flashed in twrp or orangefox. Make sure you make the partitions rw in twrp or OF using 100 rw zip (search for it) then mount as rw in terminal. Flash these images or image,whichever you believe to be needing. Then try and reboot. If all else fails then download the firmware from LMSA and use tinyfastboot tools to flash it. Always worked for me. Let me know how it goes. Heres the link to the files.
XT2131-1_Denver-Osaka_04-2022_RRE31.60-47-2-2 - Google Drive
drive.google.com
!!!!!Make Sure you have verity and verification disabled before trying to flash these. Hence the 100 rw zip is necessary. And must be flashed correctly. 73 error can be flashed with Ubuntu!!!!!!!!
**Edit**
Make sure you always
Fastboot -w then
Factory reset in recovery then format data for a full clean install. This vendor build is made for the boost mobile variant but it is universal. The firmware is incremental based as well so it knows which build to install or activate on the tmo/metro variant. I have all the apps and files for all carriers that have this model.

If this doesnt work you can try a blankfile flash via edl, if that does not work nothing will.

Not at home. Staying the night at my mom's. Get home early tomorrow and I will try the advised steps. I went through my previous flashing steps and am now just missing the persist partition. I'll report back as for the edl mode and I have 2 blank flash files just cannot get into edl mode. Have qfil rsd and motoflashpro

What have you tried thus far? Have you tried fastboot commands to get into edl, I think it may also also a boot menu option in twrp but I don't remember. Also now that I think about, after flashing the firmware(to both lots as you say) have you tried fastboot set_active a (or) b? Also where did you find the firehose file for it, I could not find one on other forums?
So far im downloading the files and will try what you suggested now. I'll let you know in 30 min. But I've tried factory reset. Flash. Formatting then flashing. Blank flash. Formatting then flashing. I've also used fastboot --force -slot=all flash ***. *****. Etc. Tried flashing. Flashing the copy partitions and tried flashing a gsi an aosp. Got to lineages recovery but still the same issue. Some partition are unmountable. At this point now it refuses to charge while off.. and if I do plug it in while off it continues to boot loop from the battery/charging screen.

Sorry to tell you this but the phone is definitely ****ed on a hardware level, no amount of reflashing the firmware will fix that. The partition issue is likely caused by the EMMC/UFS malfunctioning, however the charging issue is definitely not caused by software as the battery has a separate controller. Your best bet would be to replace the motherboard, your phone's warranty is however void anyways since you unlocked the bootloader so you would have to do it yourself.

How do I disable anti-rollback???? Might be the issue with it not flashing vb* files. Assuming those control vendor persiste etc

You can't, the manufacture prevents you from doing so due to "security issues". Make sure you get the latest firmware at https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/denver/official/. This will restore all partitions including vendor and persist as it generates from the modem partition, also android 11 and up does not use regular persist partitions anymore, it is now in the "super" images so don't worry about it. When you extract the latest firmware from this site there will be an XML file, go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...e-with-motorola-devices.4042039/post-82186933 and follow the instructions, before flashing made sure to select slot A, after you are done flashing slot A set it to slot B and flash again, then reboot regularly. To set the slot run the fastboot command before flashing, for example fastboot set_active a, flash firmware, fastboot set_active b, flash firmware, reboot.
