Which ROM did you install? Details are crucial in the answering process.
If you unlocked in KK, then you can only run test builds of CM11 by Dhacker29 or his Nightly Gummy Builds.

Those two won't work with the new bootloader. Use these CyanogenMod builds. Use latest.

It won't turn On unless you flashed kk bootloader compatible ROM

Reboot to recovery and restore the back up you made before flashing the ROM that's why we make back ups

You forget about OSE and KitStalk by GraberRoms - this ROMs are on 3.4 kernel too

You may need to reflash the stock factory image (you can just flash system.img in RSD Lite), after this - make a backup copy, you will thank yourself for having a backup copy on the internal SSD. To force RSD Lite link-up on a bricked phone, just do the usual volume-up and volume-down hold-down and hold the power button, and after it boots up, select "AP Fastboot" then plug into PC with RSD Lite running.
(EDITED) Actually both system.img and boot.img files to unbrick it. Forgot about the Linux kernel... Hurr Durr!

Bypass bootloader to recovery:)

Hi, I found this accidentally. I'm on 2.3.4 stock rooted with locked bootloader.
1. You must have root.
2. Install Rom Manager from Market
3. Open Rom Manager and flash ClockworkMod Recovery
4. Turn off you phone and connect to the wall outlet charger and its going to bypass bootloader and open recovery
That's all I found it by accident
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
This isn't news, clockworkmod is on most people's phones here, from a few different sources. Did you know you can install themes, radios, fonts, bootanimations, all kinds of things from recovery? Check out the development forum.
Yes but you don't need to unlock the bootloader to install rom's.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Incorrect.
If you try flashing a ROM right now you will brick your phone. We could get into a bootstrap recovery before the bootloader was unlocked, but if you installed a different system the phone would catch that upon next boot and won't start up. I believe it's at least something like that... You need an unlocked bootloader, basically!
If I install a different rom its not going to boot in to the rom? Why not?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Because your bootloader isn't unlocked lol, that's the whole point of the locked bootloader.
Why don't you just unlock it so that you CAN install custom ROMs?

ROM Manager installs recovery over the stock recovery, which is in the fastboot menu prior to loading the boot image. You can get into stock recovery prior to booting, but it basically does nothing. The ROM Manager recovery is semi-functional but doesn't wipe anything, which fails with installing. Romracer's recovery appears to be fully functional. After anything is installed in recovery, you will need to reboot system to initiate the bootloader. The bootloader has to load the kernel as well as the system/ROM for you to get into the environment. The bootloader checks that the signatures of the kernel and ROM match what it is expecting to see or you will get a brick. Unlocking the bootloader still loads the bootloader, but avoids the checking of signatures of kernel or ROM, if I understand correctly.
Ok but its going to let me install a rom, isn't the bootloader spouse to stop it from installing?
I just made a backup and it let me.

Since you say you are locked, and you installed a ROM from ROM Manager, hope that you can get into RSD since you seem insistent on booting this up.

RSD Lite is Moto software, not for public use but leaked, that is needed for loading stock boot files (SBF). Check the development forum for all details about what you are doing/about to do/have done.

STOP doing ANYTHING to your phone RIGHT NOW. take some time to read several of the threads on the development forum and verse yourself in what RSD, SBF, fast boot, recovery, boot loaders and pudding are. there are LOTS of guides for beginners on how to change ROMs on the phone. what you're doing is NOT one of them.
if you do anything else with your phone right now without reading up and knowing what you're doing, you WILL **** up your phone.
This seems to be a troll attempt or an attempt to look really stupid, either way, the user doesn't seem to want to hear out anyone telling him to stop what he's doing, so I say just let him figure it out the hard way.

7.4.6 and 2nd Bootloader

If I'm running stock 7.4.6, is it safe for me to fastboot flash the "freedom boot" from HashCode even though it is for 7.4.3? I would imagine you can, but I'm just being cautious.
It will work, though I would advise putting the ROM you want to flash onto the sdcard before rebooting into twrp, I heard that the latest os detects twrp and won't boot up, so you have to downgrade or flash a custom ROM after you reboot into twrp. I thought that was what the 7.4.3 freedom boot fixed, but because of me seeing a few people with the same problem I would advise putting the ROM you want to flash on first. Just a heads up.

Yes, I did it Saturday from 7.2.1,
It should work the same, make sure you have a ROM already on the sd card, I didn't and tarp wound up in a recovery boot loop, fixable but a nuisance

Use CM7, CM9 or MS2Ginger. Use aroma full wiper or TJKVs safe wiper to wipe everything and then flash the ROM.

At the moment i am using Ommi-Rom which is android 4.4.2
It is stable and I am yet to find any issues with it.
If you want to try it flash update-recovery.zip if you are in Slim,PA or CM10 or defy_twrp_recovery_2.6.3.0.zip if you are in a GB based ROM. (you have to reboot ater flashing defy_twrp_recovery_2.6.3.0.zip to enter the updated recovery.)
Then flash defy_safewipe.zip (not necessary if you flashed defy_twrp_recovery_2.6.3.0.zip)
and then flash Omni-Rom and GApps
You can provide feedback for Ommi here.

Select defy plus and dfp 231 as per carrier/region
If stuck on Motorola logo for a long time after flashing enter stock recovery and wipe data

what version i need to download from there?

I need assistance.

So, now that I'm able to flash roms and stuff now, I decided to go ahead and install twrp recovery. So far, that works fine and whatnot, made a backup and everything. But my issue is installing a rom. I've downloaded carbon rom and pacman rom and both have failed to boot up. I moved them to my SD card, including the gapps, wiped system, data, cache, dalvik, all of that stuff. I then tap install, find the rom, install it and it says it works. I install the gapps as well and those install fine. But when I hit reboot now, it stops at the bootloader warning screen for about 2 min and then loops back off and back to the same screen. What am I doing wrong?

You need to rollback to update 90.30.1. Just download the FXZ and use House of Moto and flash back. Then reinstall TWRP and go.

No ROMs support the new bootloader/kernel yet. The only way to use those ROMs, is to FXZ back to 98.30.1.
EDIT: IMHO, I personally don't think giving up the 3.4 kernel is worth downgrading.

However, when more ROMs support the 3.4 kernel, couldn't you just flash back to it and go?

Yes, but ROMs that support the new bootloader/kernel, are a long way off. With the issues that the 3.0.x kernel ROMs have, I just don't think it's worth downgrading.

No. Just stick with stock for a little bit. Dhacker said via twitter that after the M8 CM11 builds, msm8960 will be using the 3.4 kernel.
This is good to know.
