WARNING! Bootloop with latest update (8MB) rooted 4.4.2 ! - Moto G General

Let this be a warning, the latest update put my phone in a reboot loop. After trying to apply the update clockwordmod would come up on restart, installation would fail, couldn't see why, too fast, the phone would start up and after 15-20 sec it would shutdown to start all over again.
Don't know what update does as I have a french phone and all update messages come in french. I saw that USB on the go was mentioned and some other bug fixes.
TO FIX:
Enter fastbood mode (VOL DOWN+POWER)
From the PC enter:
fastboot erase cache
Can someone more knowledgeable say why the update fails?
Regards

the same issue for me with my french moto g

ok thanks so impossible to install it?

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I was thinking that you need the stock recovery and not CWM or TWRP.

Yes you do and no root

I had the same problem. You have to go back to latest stock rom before installing the update, and then rooting again. Worked fine for me.
See this guide for example : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219

Stock RECOVERY, KERNEL and NO changes in /system partition whatsoever (including root.)
With some experience there´s nothing easier than flash stock ROM. Or do it thrice a day if you feel like that

If i understand it... Have you flashed OTA with Phil CWM without reverting phone to full stock (recovery, unrooted and untouched system apps)?

(this will bootloop/stuck on samsung logo for sure 100%)
go to recovery mount /system and /data
then use adb
Code:

open the file and replace the "libart.so" with "libdvm.so" (no quotes) and vice versa.
for dalvik use "libdvm.so" ///////////// for art use "libart.so"
Code:
adb push persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib /data/property/
Reboot
enjoy bootloop.
some files might be missing.
why?? bcoz if anyone can find how to enable art then it will be too beautiful.

Note- Those facing problem with bootloop, flash TWRP 2.6.3.1. You don't even need to select any option like in Philz as stated in OP. Just do a clean install (wipe system, data, dalvik, cache).
i'm hoping someone will post some screenshot :fingers-crossed:

First time yes the rom flashed properly and stuck at samsung logo , then i flashed the latest philz recovery 6.19.3 and almost at the end of the flashing i had error 7.
I will try again , now i'm flashing via odin the official 4.3 ENA3 and i will try again
Silly question--but, did you make a Nandroid backup before flashing the 4.4.2 ROM?? If so, why not restore?

CM11 won't work if you've updated. Apparently, the boot loader is updated and the ROMs haven't been updated for it.

You have an unlocked BL, just flash SU to get root, and delete/freeze apps. That's pretty much what I did and used Xposed on top of that.
I haven't tried it yet, buy couldn't you just rsd back to an earlier build then flash your custom ROM?

I'm pretty sure you can use fastboot/ADB to sideload zips, though I'm not super familiar with the commands so I wouldn't know how to explain it to you.
I am familiar enough with the commands, but I am unable to find the zips to flash. any help would be great.
Thanks,

I was one of the people who thought it would be cool to update to the OTA immediately without waiting and reading... I got the CWM recovery going and rooted stock 4.2.2 , but I really cant wait for TWRP to get updated so I can get back to my Rom, or really any supported Rom would be better then stock. I have only myself to blame.

Download and Install the OTA, you will loose your ROOT AND RECOVERY but not the data. That is the easiest way.
plz elaborate the process, i am new to it.
and one more question : what if i do OTA normally(over wifi).
with custom recovery and xposed OTA will fail and maybe soft brick.

You have two (best I think) solutions:
1) Get back to stock and download OTA... before you do that, download Titanium Backup, backup your apks with it's cache so you won't have to set them up or start games from beggining... to backup messages etc you can use My Backup Pro, for calendar and contacts synchronize your Google account
2) Try to "get back to stock" as near as you can and try OTA... if it fails, it's not difficult to recover from softbrick

in the link I posted OTA HELP DESK is all well explained.
I was in your same situation (stock + franco kernel+ TRWP recovery + Xposed) and i have just installed the OTA. This is what I did:
1- Uninstall Xposed (from inside the installer)
2- Uninstall Cerberus app (because in some cases it modifies system)
2- Flash stock kernel
3- Flash OTA in recovery
* It failed because Franco kernel modifies /system/lib/hw/power.msm8960.so --> so renamed power.msm8960.so.bak to power.msm8960.so
4- Flash OTA in recovery
5- Flash TRWP recovery
6- rooted

yeah, you need to uninstall Xposed too (from within the app, not like uninstalling normal apps). Then you can reinstall and have all modules and config untouched.

How can I Install CM in Bootloader Mode?

Until today I had the impression that my LG G2 was done.
You see, a year ago I had this problem with an update, I carry the phone to my carrier as was under warranty, the Fixed the problem but after that I couldn't boot in recovery mode.
No Power and Volume Down or Up Working, nor the 3 times power combination and then I've just came across this boot into bootloader instructions that I didn't know about it.
Code:
Bootloader: With the device powered down, plug in a USB cable while pressing Volume Up.
Which works like a charm.
So can somebody please point me in the right direction to Install CM13 in bootloader mode?
Best regards
you can't, you can only flash a stock rom in download mode

steps are like this.
you are on KK, you need to search for files as that variant i dont know..
you must root phone and install custom recovery
so cehck here for root..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63327417&postcount=4
when you rooted. then proceed to install twrp. use the same link above and look in recovery
click on recovery.. remeber you are in KK so use the one for kitkat dont use Lollipop.
when you find recovery install it..when you have it installed. update it with this one
2.8.7.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705
install bootstacks for your variant. 5.02 KK bumped.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/lg-g2-bootstacks-t3173715
then you need to find a flashable rom in zip format.. for d805. lollipop. once you flashed it and are in stock lollipop
then find root for lollipop use the links above , i thnk theres root for LP.
when roo is rooted then go to playstore and download autorec for lollipop for your variant..
install and install twrp.. update it with 2.8.7.3 thermal one..
then install hybrids bootsacks. for your variant
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/boot-g2-hybrid-bootstacks-t3183219
when installing hybrid.. reboot from recovery into recovery again to take effect ... then flash rom and gapps for cm13.
Already rooted. Will check the instructions, overall the one about the recovery...as I said before I don't have a recovery options, when I install TWRP and try to reboot into the recovery mode the phone just reboot.
I believe you gave me the instructions to fix this, fix the recovery, will follow your instructions and will be back.
Thank you for your time.
If it doesn't work try to install the stock kk again and do all the above process again

Alomost every custom rom is prerooted so all you need to do is download twrp for your device and flash with odin that's it. Once you have twrp installed just download and flash the rom you want

What base are you on ? As long as you are on 5.1.1 then I'd recommend DN5, both erobot and sixperience have the theme engine as well but don't seem to be supported anymore.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/5-0-1-dn-rom-e-team-t3031712
I'm not sure CF auto root actually works anymore because of selinux , been that long since I tried it.
I've never known anyone get bootloop flashing the correct twrp. Once you have twrp installed dont do anything except flash dn5 (if thats the one you choose), don't select root in twrp you should be ok just flashing the rom

Download dn5 zip to your sdcard reboot to recovery and flash the zip file through twrp that's it. If you want to go back to stock you just download the latest firmware for your region from sammobile and flash that through odin. That simple, but I think you will probably stay on custom especially if you want theme store

Yes every thing is ok in odin, just always check that repartition is never ticked by accident. Repartition should always be left unticked

Download dn5 zip to your sdcard reboot to recovery and flash the zip file through twrp that's it. If you want to go back to stock you just download the latest firmware for your region from sammobile and flash that through odin.

is there any way to backup my apps so that I don't lose them after the process and also to backup the whole firmware in case I get a bootloop?
You shouldn't lose them tbh but you can do one of 2 things. 1 make a full back-up in recovery before you flash dn5 (think you can backup un rooted never actually tried)
2 flash latest su zip in recovery to get root then use titanium backup or similar to back them up. There may actually be an app in the playstore that doesn't need root to backup apps just can't remember what it's called

Untick reboot in odin flash twrp again and reboot straight into recovery manually with 3 finger combo before you boot up the phone. If that doesn't work flash twrp 2.8.6 first, there was a bug in 2..8.7 guess it's still there in latest version. Once you have 2.8.6 you can flash any after that

You flashed 2.8.6 or rebooted straight into recovery?

Just download dn5 then select install zip and that's it. If it asks you to root after the zip finishes don't. Also first boot (only the first one) after flashing will take 10 mins so don't panic

You won't need to worry about it now. It's just a twrp bug first time you flash it. It won't happen again
