[DEV] Unofficial Cyanogenmod 7 for Lenovo Ideapad A1

Cyanogenmod 7 for the Lenovo Ideapad A1, by Milaq and myself.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
You should install the modified bootloader that allows you to get into fastboot mode if necessary. This is because there is only one kernel on the A1, and if the kernel causes problems (unlikely, but it's better save yourself the risk) you won't be able to boot normally or into recovery. Being able to boot into fastboot mode gives you a way out of this by allowing you to flash a kernel through usb with the fastboot command. See this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25186171&postcount=120
Simple installation guide
David Artiss has written a beginners' guide that walks you through the process of installing CM7 starting from the stock system. Get to it here:
http://www.artiss.co.uk/2012/04/installing-cyanogenmod-on-a-lenovo-ideapad-a1
Syncing and building it:
Clone the Cyanogenmod repository:
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread
Then add the local manifest:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/milaq/android.git local-android
cd local-android
git checkout gingerbread
cd ..
cp local-android/local_manifest.xml android/.repo
They sync the repo, get rom manager, and build:
Code:
cd android
repo sync
./vendor/cyanogen/get-rommanager
source build/envsetup.sh && brunch A1_07
What works:
Graphics HW acceleration
Touchscreen
Buttons (vol, power, menu, back, home)
Removable SD card
Audio
Accelerometer
Wifi (see caveat below)
Bluetooth
Vibration
Internal SD card
Front and back camera for still images, video recording from back camera
GPS
HW accelerated decoding (h.264 etc)
Issues
No 3G on the 3G versions.
Video recording from the front camera
Accelerometer switch not working
Market gives phone layout instead of tablet layout after update
Modified partition layout used with CWM 5.0.2.8 seems to prevent the internal SD card mounting.
GPS Time from android.location.Location.getTime() is wrong (1 day ahead?).
DSPManager sometimes crashes when headphones are inserted.
Bluetooth file transfer doesn't work, but Bluetooth HID seems to work.
IRC Channel
#ideapad-a1 on irc.freenode.net.

Acknowledgments
Many thanks to:
Milaq - fixing loads of things: Camera, GPS, vibration, autobrightness, cpu responsiveness, scrolling performance, wifi geolocation, disabling background blur, hiding phone signal by default, density fixes, etc, etc, ...
SpiegelEiXXL - many discussions and thoughts, setting up nightly builds, hosting nightly builds.
Pati- for spotting how to prevent the reboots and internal SD card fixes.
Templis - Channel logs
Collaboration
Please feel free to discuss this porting effort here, point out errors, fork the repositories, submit patches/pull requests etc!

Latest updates:
18 Feb: Nightly downloads added. Please follow the commit log on Github for further details of updates: https://github.com/gmarkall/android_device_ideapad_a1/commits/gingerbread
12 Feb: Fixed the 5:43 reboot issue, wifi (sort of), and accelerometer. New version on download page.
17 Jan: Got it booting, added download page.
15 Jan: Made some very hacky changes that allow an otapackage to be built.
14 Jan: Tried flashing it - so far not quite booting as far as the home screen, but does get to the boot screen.
13 Jan: I had the wrong size for the system partition, which was causing make_ext4fs to fail. This is now corrected, and the build finishes.
13 Jan: I created an IRC channel for discussion of Clockworkmod, Cyanogenmod and development on the A1. It is #ideapad-a1 on irc.freenode.net.
12 Jan: I've added a few more bits and bobs to the build - in particular editing BoardConfig.mk to include settings for building libaudio.so, using the camera stub for the time being, bluetooth settings, etc. Also added some missing files: /etc/media_profiles.xml and vold.a1.fstab, overlay.omap3.so.
11 Jan: added a script that pulls the proprietary libraries off the device and creates a vendor/lenovo/a1 folder for them.

I have a 16GB Lenovo A1 and am more than happy to help out with any testing you need with CM7!
Just drop me a PM if you want any private testing done or I will test out the moment you post a Rom here to flash.
Thanks, Charlie.

awesome! did you already try to flash and run it?

Not yet. At the moment the build system doesn't quite work for making a flashable zip suitable for the ideapad. I want to get the build system to make the update.zips without any manual intervention, rather than just putting one together by hand - otherwise it will be a pain every time I change something to have to manually make a new update.zip.

Any suggestions?

Did you try to chmod 777 /cache/dalvik-cache
Just for testing it?
OTA use data/dalvik-cache and have the same File right like you do.
# create dalvik-cache and double-check the perms
mkdir /data/dalvik-cache 0771 system system
chown system system /data/dalvik-cache
chmod 0771 /data/dalvik-cache
# create the lost+found directories, so as to enforce our permissions
mkdir /data/lost+found 0770
mkdir /cache/lost+found 0770

What rights have your /cache/dalvik-cache Folder?
It schould have 771
But i think that /cache have only 770

I did try that, but it didn't make any difference unfortunately.

So what rights you have now for that Folder (after/at boot)?

Code:

I just noticed that it's only things that run as app_XX that have a problem opening /cache/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@ ...
Things that run as system, e.g. com.android.settings, don't seem to have a problem.
I feel like I'm missing something obvious now!

Right,
all Positions that have root have a Problem
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root
On STOCK ROM there are no Files that have one root root.
They are all having
system system
or
system app_<AppNr>
or
system radio

What is the problem? Those are the same permissions as on my CM7 Desire which doesn't have this issue.

No Problem.
Just wondering why every one of them giving an Error.
I have no working CM7 to compare it to.

Are you at stage where you can Wipe dalvik-cache, or it is hapening by building/restoring it?

[Q] Fresh ROM for Evo Shift 4G: Keeps Resetting

I've installed Fresh ROM on my Evo Shift 4G. It worked for about a week, then the GPS stopped working (a known bug with this device and Gingerbread). I restarted the device as normal, and when it came back up all my downloaded apps and the Market were gone, and the device was in that strange indeterminate state where I'm both synced to a Gmail account and not at the same time (the Setup app appears in the Apps folder). Signing in doesn't help.
I rebooted into Clockwork Recovery (3.2.0.1), wiped data/factory reset, wiped the cache, wiped dalvik, and installed Fresh ROM again.
Once that was complete and booted, I signed in, attempted to install an app and the phone reset. There's no file manager installed nor terminal app so I can't delete things by bash. I connected over USB and tried to adb shell in, but that caused the phone to reset.
I'm stuck. Clearly something has not been properly wiped prior to installing Fresh ROM.
What do I need to do to get out of this loop?

Sounds like you either had a bad Flash, a bad Download, or both. So redownload the Rom you choose, then Clear and Flash your device according to THESE INSTRUCTIONS .

Thanks for the response. I downloaded the ROM again and ran a check - identical to the file I downloaded previously. So, if the ROM is the culprit, then the latest version of Fresh ROM for Evo Shift does not work (4.1.1).
I followed the instructions linked, wiping the cache and dalvik-cache twice (why?), and wiping system etc prior to installing the ROM.
I'm running into the exact same issues as before - I can't install anything from the Market, and the phone resets if I connect it to a computer over USB. When it resets, it resets multiple times and when it comes back up the 4G no longer works.
If I rerun the above instructions, the 4G works again, but I'm stuck back in this loop - can't use the Market or connect it over USB or it will reset, so forth.
Could Fresh ROM 4.1.1 for Evo Shift be bad? I still suspect the real problem is something is not sufficiently wiped or setup prior to install.
In case it might help, here's an ls -al after installing Fresh Rom 4.1.1 on my phone (an HTC Evo Shift 4G after following the above install instructions).

I can post more or other diagnostics if others have something to recommend. Really stuck here.

Is it odd that /sd-ext is at root and not located on the SD card, and a directory not a symlink?

Now that you have 10 posts you should try posting your questions in the thread for flipz's rom.So the dev can help and maybe anyone else that is running this rom. Also have you tried the a2sd remove command adb shell or from terminal emulator? See if that helps.

A bit more to isolate the problem:
If the phone resets (due to attempting an install from the Market or plug in from USB), 4G fails - but if I restart the phone at that point, when it reboots 4G works again. So 4G appears to be fine, it's the resets that are at the core of the issue.
I shutdown, removed the SD card, booted, and attempted to install an app and got the same reset, so it's not the SD card - it's definitely a problem somewhere on internal storage.
What else do I need to clear to clear this up?
Fresh ROM's pages say to look in /data/app and /system/app for a place where an app already exists that would cause a conflict.
Here's /data after booting the ROM and setting up a Gmail account:

I'd like to know if app and app-private are as expected (they appear to be the result of the ROM install, since they were completely wiped prior to installing it). The app symlink is a strange one. It points to /system/sd/app, which I can't cd to. /system/sd I can cd to, and this is all it contains:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17 Aug 1 2008 placeholder
A file named placeholder. What?
I'm starting to suspect apps2sd. None of the relevant partitioning steps are in those install instructions, and they appear to be specific to the apps2sd of CyanogenMod. Google's appears to support a DOS partition, while CyanogenMod's appears to only support an ext3 partition, which I do not have.
At the same time, removing the SD card didn't change things, so color me confused.

As suggested by FdxRider you should definately post up in the Rom thread. That way you can get help resolving the issue from others running the same Rom.

It was apps2sd.
To resolve this problem, I had to:
Reboot into ClockwordModRecovery
Connect the phone to a computer over USB
In Clockwork, choose Mount Storage and choose the last option, Mount USB.
Dump anything I wanted to keep off of the SD card (most importantly, the FreshRom zip file).
Then, back in Clockwork, Advanced>Partition SD
Choose a size (they recommend 1024M)
This wipes out everything on the SD card, creates a Linux partition for apps2sd to use, marks the rest as a Windows partition.
Wait till it's done, then, still from ClockworkModRecovery:
Wipe cache, dalvik cache, system, data
Factory reset
Now Mount USB again so you can copy the FreshRom zip back onto the Windows partition (the only part that will come up on a Windows machine).
Eject on the Windows machine to ensure the copy completes, Unmount in Clockwork.
Install the ROM again
Let it boot, restart
Setup my Google Account/Gmail user
And one final thing:
As it turns out ES File Explorer is pre-installed on this ROM. That means installing it from the Market will make the phone go crazy regardless of proper setup. But I am now able to install other apps just fine from the Market (at last).

reset loop NO clockwork until factory reset
I installed Fresh 4.1.1 on my shift 4g
I went to install ROM Manager got it downloaded and it reset the phone at install.
I even tried going to the website and installing it that way. Same results.
I can't get clockwork to work, when i hold the volume down and then press power nothing happens until i release the power button then it goes directly to the Fresh install.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

[Q] rooting and heimdall

How do I root a Samsung Galaxy xcover 2 using Heimdall, and what files i need?
Heimdall under Linux. and did the tests in an xterm "jazzbo$ sudo heimdall detect" and "jazzbo$ sudo heimdall print-pit". It worket. Printed the pit info and rebooted the phone. So i guess ti will work under Linux.
Can someone tell what file to install and what command line options to use,
Thanks JazzBo

I would recommend you to use the heimdall-frontend.....
then you load the *.pit which you already successfully managed to get from your phone into the heimdall-frontend.
and then you have to seperately load the files into the heimdall-frontend (see attached picture)
good luck
cheers

I tried this. The phone was flashed. But it didn't get rooted.
The reason why i wanted to root it was that it ran slow. A lot of apps started up just to die. I suspected some memory leak or something.
After the flash it run smoothly and all apps works. It is still not rooted.

No, commands are not needed. It's just to show the version and howto check if it worked.
This will not work if E5 is installed since you will flash the whole root filesystem.

I can build for E5 if needed. Did not upgrade my watch yet..

I appreciate your good work on this. Unfortunately I'm in the US and still stuck on ND8. As a suggestion, since you're going to build this for new ROMs as they come out, could you start adding the last three letters/numbers of the ROM to your tar files?

Thx, already included version build for the E5 .tar uploading right now. The sad part is that the only "useful" way to use the root access right now is to get rid of the camera sounds
But if you need root access to your ND8 I can upload.

If you have easy access to ND8, that would be great. Otherwise I can wait for the newer builds to hit. I'll be upgrading as soon as I can anyway.

i guess not, due to different hardware. although: perhaps it would work, because the hardware is very similar except the cam. depends on the partition layout, and that could be the same...
this is the partition layout of the gear one (with tizen), i guess "our" layout will be very similar...

Is possible.
push your ringtones to: /opt/share/settings/Ringtones/
When in .ogg only filename will be displayed. When in .mp3 it will show up like ring.mp3
I think a reboot is needed to find your new ringtones in the list.
But keep in mind free diskspace is 80MB for /opt/ don't fill it up!

Super good work ! THX.

Ok, im a noob at watch rooting. Is there a special version of odin for the watch or a special way to do this? Does it wipe everything? All I wish to do is wipe the camera sounds.

Safe to assume this won't work with the Neo? If it does awesome work. If not still awesome work lol.

no special odin needed! i used 3.07
to enter download mode: press and hold the watch-button, when the watch reboots quickly press the button a few times, select download, then flash.
it does no wipe.
important: first flash the official rom, then the according rootfs from the first post.
enable usb debugging in watch settings
afterwards you need the sdb.exe, open a command prompt where the exe is located and enter the following commands:
sdb root on
sdb shell mount -o remount,rw /
sdb shell mv /usr/share/sounds/mm-camcorder/ /usr/share/sounds/mm-camcorder_bak/
sdb shell mv /usr/apps/com.samsung.w-camera-app/res/sounds /usr/apps/com.samsung.w-camera-app/res/sounds_bak
it worked perfectly for me!

My XT1039 lte is soft bricked, please help

Hi
I tried everything to restore this phone back to stock, but every fast boot command fails.
Motorola drivers are installed on my pc, they are version 6.4 64 bit.
I put my device into Fastboot Flash mode by pressing power+volume down, adb interface shows in device manager.
Then I can do fastboot devices and it returns: "TA986029AY fastboot"
When I run adb devices it returns:
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now at tcp:5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
No devices are listed.
Does anyone know why fastboot works and not adb?
Bootloader is unlocked.
I did this by:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
Concatenated the strings
Went to Motorola site to get a unique ID
fastboot oem unlock UNIQUE_KEY
When I turn on the device, it displays a message that the bootloader is unlocked.
My fastboot/adb tools are from google, the latest. I just downloaded the android sdk tools using command line sdkmanager.
I downloaded this firmware:
XT1039_PEREGRINE_VFEU_5.1_LPBS23.13-17.3-1_cid7_CFC.xml
I am not sure if it the right one since I am not able to get into settings in the phone about phone since it is displaying a black screen.
Is there a fastboot command that would reveal this?
Before flashing I run: fastboot -w
It outputs this:
(bootloader) slot-count: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
wiping userdata...
Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.
File system type raw not supported.
wiping cache...
Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.
File system type raw not supported.
erasing 'userdata'...
OKAY [ 0.063s]
erasing 'cache'...
OKAY [ 0.063s]
What is a (bootloader) slot-count: not found?
Does not look right.
Then I run these commands:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
They all succeed, but they still show (bootloader) slot-count: not found.
Reboot the phone, I still have a black screen.
I also tried:
fastboot update XT1039_Retail_EU_444_Untouched.zip
(bootloader) slot-count: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
error: update package 'XT1039_Retail_EU_444_Untouched.zip' has no android-info.txt
What is an android-info.txt file? I think the zip file above is wrong, where do I get a stock firmware image file with android-info.txt file?
I am totally lost for now.
I need some GURU that can help me here.
Thank you in advance

I cannot use adb since no devices are listed when I issue the adb devices command. This has been tried with the Motorola drivers and also the universal adb drivers for the adb interface in device manager.
fastboot/mfastboot work.
How do I transfer the recoverytwrp2-8-7.img or cm-12.1-20150725-UNOFFICIAL-peregrine.zip to my mobile since I cannot use adb sideload?
Can this be achieved via fastboot?

Motorola fastboot is specifically for Moto devices.
Search and download this: "mFastboot-v2 - XDA Forums - XDA Developers" - install it and try it. It is not regular adb fastboot and will often work on Moto devices when adb fastboot won't. If it works, you should be able to push your file to your SD card - failing that flash a system image if you can get a hold of one - start with the site I referenced in my first post and ask for help.
Failing all that, try FWUL on XDA (https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../live-iso-adb-fastboot-driver-issues-t3526755), burn it to a flash drive and boot it up on your computer and plug your phone in. If you have issues using it, post to steadfasterX (it's his site and has been very helpful in my dealings with him).
That's all I got for you.

But when I try to upload it I get:

Obviously I have the wrong OTA package.
Where can I download totally Motorola stock OTA images for XT1039 LTE either KitKat 4.4 or Lollipop 5.1?
I searched everywhere I cannot find them or the links are broken.
I already tried with mFastboot-v2 and use the zip files that contain the xml file.
Everything succeeds but after I reboot I get optimizing apps 1 of xxx and then blank very dark grey screen.

I am concerned about the slot-count/slot-suffixes not found.
Then I unplug the phone and:
1) Volume down to select recovery
2) Volume up
3) The droid image appears
4) Power+volume up and TWRP does not load, just the standard Motorola recovery.
What am I doing wrong? Or has this phone had it?

It sounds like your install of TWRP was successful ... but ...
From the TWRP site: https://twrp.me/devices/motorolamotog2014lte.html
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
Try again and follow their suggestion

The mismatched partition size (recovery) can be ignored. It looks like TWRP successfully installed. The slot count reference has been attributed to a newer version of adb (can't confirm) but doesn't seem to impact from my understanding.
Did you ... after the install and immediately After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP ?
Read the following post by senior member cam1john, that I've copied and pasted from XDA: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/help/moto-e-unlocked-wont-to-twrp-screen-t3333443/page3
I got this error time after time: "(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found"
I used this command just like everyone else:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Didn't work didn't work, and I couldn't do anything else cause I was following directions.
Then I tried:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
and it worked the first time, no error, and it went into twrp automatically. Just thought I'd share that since I spent a few hours trying to change what I was doing wrong.
Ring any bells ... ?

Did you ... after the install and immediately After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP ?
Read the following post by senior member cam1john, that I've copied and pasted from XDA: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/help/moto-e-unlocked-wont-to-twrp-screen-t3333443/page3
I got this error time after time: "(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found"
I used this command just like everyone else:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Didn't work didn't work, and I couldn't do anything else cause I was following directions.
Then I tried:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
and it worked the first time, no error, and it went into twrp automatically. Just thought I'd share that since I spent a few hours trying to change what I was doing wrong.
Ring any bells ... ?

Hi,
I was able to use the command fastboot boot twrp.img to boot straight into TWRP.
First I wiped:
Dalvik cache, System, Data and cache.
Then I pressed install, selected a rom stored on my secondary SDCARD called XT1039_Retail_EU_51_Untouched_Stagefright_Patched.zip
TWRP confirmed that it was uploaded fine.
But when I rebooted the phone I got:
Optimizing apps 1 of 59, then it went black again.
I possibly have the wrong ROM, I don't know.
Thanks
Regards
Alfred56

You're making progress ...

You're making progress ... now go back into TWRP and select Wipe and then swipe the bottom slider on that screen to do a factory reset then reboot again. If that that doesn't do the trick, then try a different rom (It would be helpful if you knew exactly what the stock firmware was when you got the phone in order to match it).

Hi Sdembiske,
How are you?
I will give you an update about what is happening.
As I said earlier I am able to boot into TWRP 3.1 and run tasks like wipe, format and install.
I noticed that even if I wipe everything (Dalvik cache+cache+data+Internal Storage+System), some files are not deleted.
For example when I use twrp file manager and navigate to /sdcard/dcim/camera, I can still see many jpg/mp4 files that have not been wiped.
I thought the WIPE function would complete delete all files.
Feels as if some parts of internal storage are read-only.
Then I thought I might not have root access, so I downloaded superboot and ran superboot-windows.bat.
After rebooting the phone, the key combination that takes you into recovery was not working.
The key combo for my XT1039 is to get into bootloader mode first (power+volume down), volume down to recovery, volume up to select recovery, dead droid appears no command and finally power+volume up, but it does not work. You to try several times and eventually it goes into standard motorola recovery.
Still not sure which firmware image to download.
There are, I believe 3 kind of images:
IE:
OTA packages
XT1039_PEREGRINE_RETEU_5.1_LPB23.13-17.6_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
XT1039_Retail_EU_51_Untouched_Stagefright_Patched.zip
Which one do I use for TWRP install option?
Thanks

I'm scratching my head Afred56, not pulling out my hair as I'm sure you must be now. Thanks for asking.
Are you still able to ... get into TWRP using the command you used that worked (Note: if it wasn't it should be renamed to recovery.img)? If not, reinstall it.
For root: download Chainfire's SuperSu from here: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/ push it to your sd card or copy it over if you can and then install the zip. You can follow the directions from here: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-flash-supersu-using-twrp-recovery-and-root-any-android-device/
I would use first: Retail EU 5.1 ROM (Untouched) (543mb) [Download] (Partially 'Stagefright' Patched) from: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t31428
Then, follow this:
How to flash:
1) Boot into latest TWRP and Format Data (Wipe > Format DATA > Yes) - This step is essential, and will wipe Internal Storage (Downloads, Music, Photos etc, **backup important files**)
2) Transfer ROM to SDCARD or Internal Storage. This may be done in Windows via MTP, or using adb sideload or adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/
3) TWRP > Wipe > Factory reset and flash ROM.
4) Reboot.
5) Call / WiFi issues can be solved by flashing 5.1 Radio Firmware (Below) for your Model.
Then: Flash(install) via TWRP from the same site
Updated Google Dialer
XT1039 Stock 5.1 Dialer | Messenger (Clear Dalvik Cache after flashing)
Full Stagefright Patch (Dec 2015) - [Download]
As well as flash 5.1 Radio Firmware for your Model from that site.
Really don't know what else I can tell you or give to you. Try posting to Lost101's site where you download the stock rom from - he has been very helpful to many.
Don't give up ... and don't go off half cocked trying different things before getting some additional input.
You will get there and learn a lot in the process.
Cheers,
S.
Good luck

Couple of further thoughts ...
Couple of further thoughts ...
- When you turn your phone off completely and just plug it in to charge, do you get the battery icon on the screen to show it charging? I'm wondering if you can charge the battery fully or whether it could be dead or almost dead.
- do you know your carrier that the phone was originally from? If so, find the CID out for that carrier (try googling it) and then try and get a stock rom with that particular CID and try flashing it.
- have you tried holdng down the power button firmly until it shuts down and starts to reboot, all without releasing the power button? Not sure if it might work but others have suggested it as well as removing the back cover off in some way (I've never done it but understand it can be done), removing the battery and then re-installing it).
- other things that have been suggested: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607327
I also had this same problem with my moto G .
I deleted the cache and the user data and then re-entered the system. (There were a few minutes, you might want to wait)
fastreboot erase cache
fastreboot erase userdata
fastreboot reboot
and/or as well:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
Other than that, I'm not sure what the issue is, but it does seem like a software issue and not a hardware issue, since you can see TWRP recovery, etc.

Hi Mate,
I already performed those suggested commands, opened the phone, disconnected the battery for a minute.
It does charge with the charger and it shows 100% charged.
My mobile is an outright purchase, it is not linked to any carrier. In Australia you can buy outright phone, not with a carrier customized rom.
Tried different roms without success using twrp, adb sideload and fastboot/mboot.
With fastboot all the commands report ok. With TWRP I get an error 7 and error 255 with certain roms.
I believe my ROM is XT1039 Peregrine 23 17.6-1.
Anyway does not matter how much and wipe this unit, there are always remnants in my internal storage that will not erase.
I can flash all kind of ROMS into it and there are still files there that cannot be deleted, IE /sdcard/DCIM/Camera photos and videos.
I ran these commands using the adb shell:
C:\android\platform-tools>adb shell ls -lh /sdcard/
__bionic_open_tzdata: couldn't find any tzdata when looking for localtime!
__bionic_open_tzdata: couldn't find any tzdata when looking for GMT!

The above files cannot be erased for some reason despit me selecting all partitions using TWRP WIPE Advanced, followed with a format.

In the Wipe screen in TWRP, you have clicked on Format Data on the right lower side?
In the Mount screen in TWRP have you ticked all partitions? Try it, please, system in particular - don't worry if a tick won't hold in USB OTG.
- Have you clicked on Fix Contents in the Advanced Tap in TWRP? Do it in a final try.
That's all I got - sorry if you are not able to get up & running
I'm out of ideas but hopefully someone can find a solution for you. That's it for me, sorry.
Cheers and Best of Luck,
S.

Shouldn't you be able to delete user files without TWRP? I mean, unless the hard drive is corrupt or something?
You can first try the
Code:
wipefs -a [partition]
command
From the man pages:
wipefs can erase filesystem, raid or partition-table signatures (magic strings) from the specified device to make the signatures invisible for libblkid.
wipefs does not erase the filesystem itself nor any other data from the device. When used without any options, wipefs lists all visible filesystems and the offsets of their basic signatures.
wipefs calls the BLKRRPART ioctl when it has erased a partition-table signature to inform the kernel about the change.
Then try a full format of the hard disk.
