Please help, I'm stuck.

Hi everyone, I'm at a loss at what to do here.
I've attempted to unlock my phone which I've done successfully,flash the twrp image, and install the twrp zip but now because I'm running into issues, I just want to return to stock, I'm stuck in between. I thought if I flashed stock img from google and started over it would fix everything - but when I do flash stock img I get "not enough storage" and i cannot proceed. I've searched up and down this forum for an answer but to no avail. I'd appreciate the help

Have you updated your adb and fastboot? I've heard of a lot of problems cause by people's "minimal" setups being outdated. Also, there's a good chance you can get back to working simply by flashing the stock boot.img out of the system image you've already downloaded.

I think I have updated everything properly. At least, I think so.
When I try to flash just the system.img it hangs here;

OK, update. I was able to get NFM26Q to load up but it says my internal storage is corrupt upon booting and it doesn't recognize my SIM card (on Verizon). Should I flash a different factory image file? Or try something else? Thanks for any help.

I thought I saw that re-locking a Verizon bootloader would cause possible instability and would not be supported. I'm not sure if you're still under warranty but you might want to look into a replacement if you can't get it figured out. If you successfully relocked it then you should be ok under service.
I think at this point you might want to try a factory/reset in the stock recovery menu and see if Q loads up. Without seeing where you are and what you've done it's hard to diagnose.

First thing I did was unlock the phone, second thing I did was flash the IMG for twrp, booted into twrp and flashed the zip. I couldn't get past twrp, if I restarted the phone, it would just get stuck at twrp. So, I had no OS to boot into somehow and so at this point, I flashed the stock 7.1 file from Google and now it boots into the OS with no twrp, or bootloader, but the OS boots with an error message saying the internal storage is corrupt. I can use the phone but I have no data connection, camera fails to load, etc etc. So it's pretty useless. I made the mistake of thinking it would just be as easy as a Nexus, which clearly, it's not. I think I got everything I did there. I'm just trying to figure out how to get it back to stock, like right out if the box. My mistake surely, I'm just hoping someone can explain the necessary steps to get back to point A. Thanks for your help.

Maybe I need to lock the bootloader lock this phone again then flash stock IMG from Google for the OS?
I'm at a complete loss. I've tried almost everything I've read on XDA, and elsewhere.

First, if you haven't already done so, update your adb/fastboot setup to the latest version. I see you're using minimal adb. The latest version is 1.4.1. You can get it here. From the looks of your first screenshot I'd guess you need to update. Whatever the case, run the flashall batch file again. I don't know how long you let it sit at flashing system but I've flashed mine a couple times and it hangs on system for what seems forever. It looks like it's not doing a thing but if you wait long enough, eventually it jumps to life and continues. Give it time. How long? I don't really know. Guessing mine hung there for at least 5 minutes, maybe more.

Is your bootloader unlocked at this point? Have you tried a factory/reset from the stock recovery menu if you are not. If you are you can look for instructions on how to flash a factory image manually, which includes all the necessary files such as recovery, radio, bl, vendor etc. Just don't flash 7.1.1 yet. Get the phone working first on 7.1 (X) version preferably.

Thanks, I'll try this again. The last time I tried, it just froze. But good point.

When I boot up it has the unlocked logo, but if I try to boot into recovery I simply get "no command" with an exclamation point above the Android logo. So I'm not able to do a factory/reset from the recovery menu. I'll try refreshing everything again but I kept getting "not enough storage" or a similar error message.

In recovery with the no command logo, hold down the power key and hit the vol up key. That will get you into recovery where you can do those things. Use the vol keys to go up and down in the menu. Google stock recovery in android 7.1 for screenshots and more detailed instructions if you need.

I was able to get everything back up and running by following method 2 here - manually flashing using minimal adb: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/flash-firmware-factory-image-google-pixel/ and using the verizon 7.1 image from google's site, then updated to 7.1.1 on an unlocked bootloader, everything is working fine, however I am having one issue - seems as though the system flashed twice? I should have a lot more storage than this:
Is there a way to completely wipe everything and manually reflash the stock image?

Anybody know what I can do to wipe everything and start fresh? My bootloader is already unlocked. Thank you!

Do not relock your bootloader. Ever.
Get your fastboot up to date, and use the flash all script that comes with the factory image.

Yeah, I'm not going to. I got it working by flashing it manually, the flash all script didn't work. How do I erase everything? Because for some reason now, my system image takes up almost all of my internal storage. It's as if, I have multiple system images on the same device...or something....

Is this a 128 or 32? 128 often misreports space after flash. Have to factory reset to get it back.

No, 32. It's reporting correctly, but I don't get why it's taking up so much space.

Good tool Thank you, just keep the translation going...

I don't find a download link from your website? Also original Multi-tool download link is missing? https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/general/honor-7-multi-tool-t3281176

Are the Chinese versions *7.1.1x* "release" versions or "beta" versions and also: Do they include other languages, like English (to pick one out of a hat) ;?
I realize there'd be radio problems, etc, but am thinking of ways around it if each version includes all language capabilities.
Thanks.

Great tool, good job team

but don't have the recovery of nougat honor 8, but in extras you can flash manually

Hi there! Yesterday i flashed B360 to my FRD-L09, and while trying to get twrp and root working things went south. Eventually I've wiped the data partition, performed a factory reset and flashed a b360 data package from one of the forum threads via twrp. This resulted in an non-fully functional system (couldn't use security tab in settings, updater wasn't even there, themes didn't work correctly etc.) I've tried to use the unbrick feature of the multitool to revert to B131, but it resulted in the system not booting at all. I've tried relocking the bootloader to be able to use the stock eRecovery or hisuite, but instead I've got the phone hanging on the blue screen with honor logo. I can restart it, but it won't respond to fastboot or recovery key combination. Is it a brick?

Yes. First i lost recovery when i flashed the stock recovery with the mt-tool. I lost fastboot when i relocked the bootloader.
EDIT: Once the battery drained overnight, I was able to put it in fastboot. I've noticed that when i use the unbrick functionality the writing of 'cust' fails. Any way to force a full reflash of update.app? HiSuite says my device is unsupported and mt-tool doesn't seem to do the trick, unless the problem is in the software i'm trying to flash (L09C432B131).

I would try to flash TWRP in fastboot and use CM just so you can have a semi-working phone until you figure out the problem. Wish I could be of more help, but I'm a noob with the Honor. Hope you get it figured out, good luck.

Thanks for your help. Actually this was what I tried to do after fastboot started to work again. Unfortunately it's stuck on "patching system image unconditionally" and i can't wipe or format most partitions. It's something to do with f2fs vs ext 4 i think. Maybe I'll try various unoficial twrp releases. Anyway, I'm optimistic that I'll figure it out. At least it's not a brick. BTW, wiping entire internal storage is not a good idea with honor 8, am i right?

The purpose of formatting the /data partition (and in turn internal storage) is merely to remove the /data partition encryption. I would suggest trying the Rollback package that Huawei offers to see if that does anything.

sorry for my bad English..
so... if I want to stay in the stock rom and install TWRP, the only way is to root with magisk?
and after that the stock ROM rooted with magisk will be stable to daily use?

Hello thanks for the TWRP recovery port. It works great!
Now, a few days after I flashed it. Motorola pushed a firmware or security update . I didn't install it yet but I would like to. I think I have to go back to stock recovery in order to install the update. Might you have a guide on how to do this? I already have the stock rom downloaded but I don't know how to get the stock recovery

When flashing the installer or using the "Install Recovery Ramdisk" method, the touchscreen won't work

Hello,
I've got a Moto G8 Plus which I rooted using Magisk after unlocking the bootloader. It works just fine as it is, but I would like to install TWRP so I can have a backup of it. However, I'm afraid of installing TWRP and breaking something or losing the root.
Can I flash this version of TWRP over a Moto G8 Plus already rooted with Magisk without losing root or breaking Magisk or something else?

That is just a security update let it be it will **** things up trust me

Hi there,
Thanks for your efforts puling together a TWRP for our phones!
I've got a question because I'm not quite clear about your response to the previous question about the security update. I've been using the stock recovery, rooted with Magisk and went through the whole process of accepting the security update and then re-rooted etc.
Will I wind up F'ing up my phone if I go to install your TWRP since I've already accepted the security update? Or would I be better off just compiling TWRP on my own ( it'll be my first foray into that area ) taking that route instead?
Any and all opinions welcome

Same issue here. Works only when I fastboot boot off my laptop.

did not work for my phone, Moto G8 Power purchased 4/17/2020 fully unlocked bootloader, no root, attempted to boot to img, failed to boot.
[email protected]
sorry im doing a lot of research and looking, i basically accidentally soft bricked my phone, my wife and i have the exact same phone, and i cant seem to pull the factory images from it, nor can i make the various versions of OEM recovery images or boot loaders function on the phone.
maybe im just doing something wrong. pardon the typos.

I have played a little with Moto G8 Plus (XT2019-1). And i'm not worried about brick it. Have done a few times, but always recovered with blankflash.. After blankflash it will start bootloader, and then i can flash stock firmware. I found Stock FW and also blankflash on lolinet. I prefer using Fastboot for flashing. Don't need TWRP for flashing. Have locked, and Unlocked bootloader many times..
If needed, i can make a description on how to use blankflash as it can be hard to get started..
Check lolinet for stock FW and blankflash.. You need to know code name for your phone..
mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/

can i flash latest magisk straight through twrp? or does it have to be the patch boot process?

Allright, I installed successfully TWRP (install to ramdisk) and Magisk, rooted phone is fine etc, but when I boot into recovery again touch does not work and I am stuck in bootloop into recovery until I flash both again. Any hints?

Seems a common bug, i need someone with which test this thing

What would testing imply?

My guess would be: flashing experimental twrp, praying it doesn't brick your phone, reading logs?

I could help by flashing the recoverys and submitting the logs but beyond that I'm helpless

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 10 (Q), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Sounds to me like your /persist partition is full.
Check this thread for more info, including how to fix it so you can get back to flashing ROMs or stock or whatever you want [emoji6]

Thaaaaaaankssss.
It worked

Okay, tried to upgrade, while I tried from the default Android Recovery that came with LOS 16, I got this error:
Code:
Error applying update: 26 (ErrorCode::kDownloadMetadataSignatureMismatch)
E:Error in /sideload/package.zip (Status 1)
So then I tried to boot TWRP from an image through ADB and did the ADB sideload from there. It seemed to have gone well, with the exception at the end, where it complained that it could not find the /cache partition. (I've chose in TWRP to wipe the Dalvik and normal cache, so I assumed it wasn't a big problem).
After rebooting, I noticed the phone was stuck at the boot animation (the one with the swiping circle) and did not progress from it after leaving it 20+ minutes. I then tried to boot into recovery, and I did notice the new Lineage recovery. I tried doing an ADB sideload from there, but that also gave me an error with the signature mismatch. I then booted yet again into TWRP to try to install the zip file through TWRP directly as I have downloaded the zip files to the phone storage. While trying to access the phone's storage (data partition), I noticed all the folders and files had garbled filenames (random strings of letters and numbers). So then I went on to download the zip file again on an mSD card, and tried installing it through TWRP, and after restarting, I still am stuck at the boot logo.
Considering the filenames in the data partition were garbled, I assume it has something to do with the fact that the data on the phone was previously encrypted, and the upgrade didn't take that into account. Also noticed that on the second time I booted into TWRP, it no longer asked for the encryption pattern/PIN as it did prior to the upgrade.
Are there any steps I can take to fix this?
EDIT: If it requires wiping the data partition, is there some method of recovering the data?

Any big changes from the unofficial (at the time) 03/12 build? (I think that's the one I flashed last week)

From stock g6+ RETEU XT1926-3_EVERT_RETEU_DS_9.0_PPWS29.116-20-16
Steps taken:
0. fastboot set_active a
1. fastboot flash boot_a lineage-17.1-20200403-recovery-evert.img
2. Reboot to new recovery
3. adb sideload copy-partitions.zip
3. Factory Reset / Wipe Data + Wipe System from Recovery
4. adb sideload lineage-17.1-20200403-nightly-evert-signed.zip
5. reboot from recovery
Failed Result:
At this point usb-c cable is still connected and lineage continues to load
After asking for simcard pin and proceeding through lineage initial setup (date time etc.) cellular radio is disconnected and unable to connect no matter what. The IMEI is in place, the sim is detected and unlocked with pin code. Tested with single and dual sims in all configurations, phone purchased new in Germany, Vodafone.de sims.
The wifi works fine.
Almost immediately after unplugging the usb-c cable the shutting down spin dialogue appears and the phone reboots to recovery "Can't load Android system. Your data ma......"
Eventually the phone boots again but if the usb-c cable is not connected it shuts itself down within 30 seconds of booting, and the modems continue refusing to connect.
After reflashing the stock rom XT1926-3_EVERT_RETEU_DS_9.0_PPWS29.116-20-16 everything works fine as normal, stability and connectivity returns.
Same thing happens if open_gapps-arm64-10.0-nano-20200403.zip is sideloaded.
Any tips?

dm-verity" warning at boot
Hello to you,
Is there a way to get rid of dm verity warning at boot after flashing lineage os v17.1, rom works verry good,
Have not seen any problems yet, using with minimal google gapps.
Thank you

Hi there. First, I'd like to thanks to Jleeblanch for the great job of bring the experience of Android 10 to the oldschool Moto G6 Plus!
The ROM is awesome, I really like it. The only feature that is not working for me is the mobile network (mobile data). The first release (April's 1) had the bug of the sound calling that wasn't working, but it was done after the nightly update. So, could you please fix the mobile data bug?
Thank you in advance. Great job!

Try changing your preferred network type. When i flashed my phone it said "Global" and had no signal, but then i changed it to GSM/WCDMA/LTE and everything it's working except for VoLTE

La rom está perfectamente funcionando , aunque no inicia si se instala pixel gapps

I've tried to change the network type to GSM/WCDMA/LTE, but it didn't work, among others, but it all fails. After that, I did an update to April's 4 nightly version that just came out (with the change "sdm660-common: Force enable mobile network settings v2"), but nothing happens here. My G6 Plus stills lacking the mobile data.
Thank you for trying to help. Still waiting for a solution :good:

Try to wipe/format data/
Those numbers and that **** it means that all your OS is encrypted in your device, solution? Try to use ADB Sideload and install everything you need, Bootlogo, gapps, magisk, etc,

I did the same as you, after flashing lineage os 171, i flashed minimal google gapps, then teset the phone from within recovery. I came from stock pie eu version, dual sim phone. I have used lineage recovery to flash lineage os v17.1, no problems at all with rom, only boot message is nerving.

Out of curiosity which 17.1 build did you flash exactly? 20200403? Did you use nano or micro gapps? XT1926-3 is your model no?
I had 2, what appeared to be separate problems:
the usb-c disconnect shutdown which is independent of sims card configuration
the 2x modems not enabling
Neither of which were present when re-flashing stock eu retail, and I went back and forth 3 times to confirm.
I can't understand if it was a problem with the modem partition or other firmware partitions, as those don't get touched when you sideload Lineage? Only Boot + System correct?

did you flash the copy-partitions.zip ?

Info about flashed rom
i have used the one dated april 4
from the official lineage website, now i have updated to
lineage_evert-userdebug 10 QQ2A.200305.003 dfee070f5c. i did used the
minimal gapps beta. package. from the cyanogenmod website. i did flashed copy partitions AB after flashing lineage recovery from the official lineage website.

Yep, the first thing I did after entering the recovery, and it appeared to succeed each time.
I saw in the changes from 0403 to 0404 version:
sdm660-common: Update to clean Jasmine qti-telephony-common android_device_motorola_sdm660-common
sdm660-common: Force enable mobile network settings v2 android_device_motorola_sdm660-common
Sounds like it could be related, so maybe that fixed it, will test later.

[SOLVED] Poco X3 NFC - Bootloop after Wiping & Flashing Custom ROM

Hello, today I wiped Dalvik / ART Cache, Cache and Data because I wanted to install Custom ROM.
Maybe I also accidentally wiped Internal Storage or System. Then I flashed the Custom ROM. Now after the Custom ROM flashes again, the boot animation will hang and then the phone will restart shortly. I don't know how to solve this situation. I tried to flash the MIUI using the Xiaomi Mi Flash Tool, install the ROM through Fastboot, but nothing worked.
Please anyone know what to do with this? Thank you

You didn't explain your Problem quite well. Does it reboot to fastboot or does it reboot to system? (aka a Bootloop). if it reboots to system, here's what to do:
Boot into a custom recovery (twrp/Orangefox) and flash the required recovery MIUI ROM mentioned in your custom ROM's thread instructions.
Flash the custom ROM/Gapps, followed by Formatting /data using the Advanced Options in the wipe menu.
Reboot.
If you can't find the format option (which is mandatory before a new boot of a custom ROM), you can use this command while in fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
Formatting /data is required for Encrypted devices to reset the encryption key and avoid a Bootloop. Please refer to this thread for more Custom ROM flashing instructions. If all else fails, you could EDL flash your device through MI flash tool/Command line, this process costs money (you need an Authorized Xiaomi Account) to complete.

Thank you very much for your help!

It depends when. When the MIUI flashes through the Mi Flash Tool, the Poco logo is displayed and the phone restarts and the Poco logo is displayed again. All the time.
So I followed your instructions.
I would like to flash ArrowOS, but nowhere do they write what version of MIUI I need. That's why I flashed this version of MIUI through Mi Flash Tool: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/surya/stable/V12.0.8.0.QJGMIXM/
After I flashed MIUI using Mi Flash Tool and then I booted into TWRP and installed the downloaded ArrowOS. After installation, I went to the Wipe section and deleted the Data. Then I restarted the phone to System. The Poco logo was displayed and after a while the phone booted into TWRP. So I don't know where the problem is. (Before ArrowOS flashed, the cell phone tried to boot into the system, the Poco logo was still displayed, and then the phone restarted.)

Again, when I say FORMAT, I meant formatting by typing ”yes".
Also, you haven't looked at the ArrowOS thread close enough, see:

It says latest R firmware, basically V12.0.7.0.RJGEUXM. Another point I mentioned is the fact that a recovery MIUI is flashable through TWRP/Orangefox and not Fastboot/Mi flash tool, It comes in a .zip archive.
Regarding returning to stock, have you tried booting into stock recovery after fastboot flash and factory resetting? That could work.

Okay, I downloaded this ROM: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/surya/stable beta/V12.0.7.0.RJGEUXM/
I tried it to install it in TWRP and I got error 1:
I'm using TWRP 3.5.2_10-1-surya.

Error 1 just means a mismatch between the underlying stock and the newly flashed ROM, just ignore it and flash ArrowOS, Format data and reboot. If it still doesn't work, then return to stock through fastboot. (I never encountered so many problems as you did)

I followed your instructions. When I turn on smartphone, the Poco logo is displayed, then the ArrowOS animation will appear and freezes. After a while, the mobile phone restarts and this is repeated over and over again. (If I flash MIUI using the Mi Flash Tool, I also have a bootloop.)

I finally fixed the bootloop!
It was enough to take persist.img and flash it in TWRP before flashing MIUI via Mi Flash Tool.
Thank you very much everyone for your help!

just logged to thank u, mine was bricked too since an unsuccessful downgrade try, and I forgot to disable lock option in MiFlash, so I needed to wait 1 week to unlock bootloader again.
