After attempt at installing software update to Nexus 10 tablet will not boot. Have wiped Cache and even then did a factory reset. Nothing. Google appears and then twirling colorful dots and nothing. For hours just twirling dots., Samsung and Google and Best Buy geeks says nothing they can do. No longer under warranty but very upset since tablet was working great until update. I am not very tech savvy but can anyone help or do I just have a new paperweight? Thanks for any advice.
I have not made any modifications to the tablet.
Just flash the newest factory image. Get it and the instructions to flash it from here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
yes flash the newest image
After getting a notification of the latest update I went and rebooted for the update to install but it went to the twrp recovery and nothing happens, is there a way to install the update?

as a newbie .I'm not allowed to reference your link !!
I rooted my nexus 10 using xda instructions., installed CWM. All good. I tried backup and recovery and screwed something up in recovery. Got stuck in recovery mode reboot loop. Many gyrations, no fix, so I tried factory reset. Still no fix.
I decided to install a new version of the OS using the Mantaray tar you reference above. UBS connecting and fastboot. All messages look good. Now I have the problem reported in this thread. Stuck with flying balls and no boot. Very interested in any suggestions you may have.

So you keep just boot looping into twrp, right ?
Did you try installing a custom ROM through adb or just connecting your device?
If it keeps boot looping you gotta to wipe the full storage.

No, on a normal reboot or a shutdown/restart it's fine no problems there but when I try to install the update via system update it reboots into twrp. I attach a pic of my system.

Oh I see, well, you should just flash a custom ROM or if you want to stay with official factory images, you should just follow instruction there:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
What you do need is just have fastboot executable once you are into the bootloader.
You can easily access the bootloader from twrp : shutdown > reboot into booatloader
Cool thx for your continued help :good:
The problem is due to your attempting an OTA update with a custom recovery (TWRP). You can only do OTA with stock recovery. Once you are in this situation, your easiest way out of it is to simply apply the latest factory image using "fastboot", but this will also wipe your user data so backup any photos, music, etc. before you start. You will also have to reload programs from Playstore once the new image is installed.
I am unlocked and unrooted. I had previously upgraded to MM, but ran into some major problems after setting my SD card as internal, and ended up having to use the stock Lollipop tool. So, now i am running stock Lollipop and have received the OTA update. I try running it and it enters the stock recovery ok, the progress bar starts, then after a couple of minutes, i get the dead Andy icon and a quick 'Error' message. It reboots me back to Lollipop and tells me there is an update available and i can try (and fail) again if i want.
A few notes on things i tried to work around this issue (rather than solve it):
1) I have a nandroid i took while in Lollipop, I had it on my PC and i moved it to my sd card but TWRP can't see my SD Card still (E failure to mount SD card). I tried look for solutions to this, but nothing i found worked.
2) so i tried taking the stock MM ROM and moving it to my internal storage and flash that through TWRP, but I couldn't get it to appear in TWRP for selection. I tried look for solutions to this, but nothing i found worked.
3) I took my SD card out completely out, then tried taking the OTA update. Same result: "Error" then reboot.
So, any ideas on how i can get some info on what is causing the failure? Any thoughts on what i can try to resolve this?

I was in the exact same predicament last night, for different reasons though. No matter what I did, I kept getting that same error. I gave up and just flash one of the Roms from this thread since it includes the kernel, radio and stuff http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3262242.

I have same issue like you guys. I want to root my Moto, and my Wi-Fi won't working. So I downgraded to LL using Restore-To-Stock-Tool and try to upgrade to MM unfortunatelly it isn't work. From OTA I received error, and from recovery also upgrade didn't work? Any ideas how to solve existing problem?

After running the restore to stock tool you need to flash a file named hlnos in the tools folder.

I want to make sure i understand the exact files you're referring to. Are you talking about this restore to stock tool?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...ndows-tool-moto-x-style-pure-edition-t3199905
If so, I don't see a 'tools' folder in this zip file. So, i am obviously looking in the wrong place. Note: I do remember flashing an additional file at some point after my downgrade. I believe I flashed it when i learned that my wifi didn't work after downgrading to LP. So, if my wifi is now working, it MAY be possible that i already flashed the file you are referring to (though i can't remember what the name of that one was)

I'm a little confused, if your trying to go back to lollipop that is the correct modem file, I haven't tried it myself, but I read there should be a tools folder with a hlnos file. If still trying mm then here is the mm modem file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=63574299
Edit: you should verify the md5 for all the files you are using, might have a bad download.
Edit 2: just downloaded the restore zip and took a look, there is no tools folder but filename is
NON-HLOS.bin for lollipop modem.

Sorry for the delay, this is the correct file you need to download NON-HLOS.bin. You can grab it from the link below and only need to flash that file. Hope this helps!

Thanks for trying to help, but that was the file I had originally flashed. I did try again and no luck still.
I just tried again to manually flash the MM ROM and still can't do it. I keep getting the error: "E:Cannot restore System -- mounted read only. " from TWRP. Looking around it seems like i'm sort of stuck. Other phone owners have had to resort to using ruu and restoring directly from their PC. I've done this in the past with my HTC M7, but don't know if things are different (or even applicable) with the MotoXPE, so i need to do some searching around.
If anyone has any thoughts on how to best install a ROM directly from my PC, please share your thoughts. I think this is sideloading, right? I've sideloaded files before, but never ROMs (expect for maybe when i did it with my old M7)

You need to make sure you are on factory recovery.
1. downgrade again to moto 5.1 with stock recovery
2. from stock recovery factory reset your device
3. reboot bootloader and then flash the file again.
that should solve your issue.

Or did you downgrade to moto 5.1 using a different method?

Also- when you say: "3. reboot bootloader and then flash the file again." Are you suggesting that i should flash my stock MM Rom at that point? If so, just to be clear, i'll need to flash TWRP recovery again, move the MM ROM over, then flash it from inside TWRP, correct?
Or are you saying something different?
Edit: Well, I went ahead and loaded TWRP back on and tried restoring the stock MM Rom. Once again, i got the E: Failure to Mount error when trying to restore (interestingly, i can backup the existing ROM without issue). So, i went ahead and just booted up in hopes that i'd now be able to accept the OTA rom. I just downloaded it, and with stock recover in place, got the same Error and Dead Andy screen.
One note: When i first loaded TWRP, it asks if i want to leave things Read Only and receive OTAs or allow it to be writable. I think in the past i allowed it to be writable (which would've explain the OTA failures of the past), so this time I left it Read Only figuring that would fix my issue. No luck. It still failed.
Any additional ideas would be most welcome. I'm out of ideas here.

Just checked this and system is not checked. I don't think i've ever changed it either.
Issue resolved-
I never figured out how to get around the Error during OTA install, but i did get on MM. I case this somehow helps anyone, here's what i ended up doing.
1) Used the Restore to 511 stock tool (non-rooted)
2) booted into 511 and set things up
3) reformatted my SD card for use (it had previously been set up to be used as internal storage when i had MM working a couple of weeks ago)
4) flashed TWRP 5.1.1
5) rooted using install of SU zip file (rather than TWRP's "do you want to root this device"
6) Rebooted? (maybe i did this. don't remember)
7) Loaded the stock MM rom onto my SD card
8) Went back into TWRP and made my internal partition writeable (Note: i initially tried to say yes to when TWRP asked me if i wanted to root, but this prevented the device from booting after i restored the MM Rom (in the next step), so i just said no to that. If i decide to root later, i will do so by installing SU from zip.
9) Restored the stock MM rom from the SD card
Now up and running on MM. Will not allow my SD card to be used as internal- which is what started this mess.
Currently don't seem to have wifi working. I had this issue when i downgraded to 5.1.1 and needed to flash the NON-HLOS.bin file. I am trying to find out if i need to do the same here.
I accidentally tried doing a factory reset, and flashing an incorrect rom. So I lost the stock rom, and have no other rom to use. I tried using TWRP to flash ASUS's stock firmware from asus's support website, under firmware. Using firmware file: "UL-Z00T-WW-1.16.40.763-user.zip"
but TWRP tells me "E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/TWRP/Stock.zip'
Error flashing '/sdcard/TWRP/Stock.zip"
I still have access to both adb, fastboot, and TWRP but I cant get an OS to install.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, haven't even had this phone a day yet, and already may have broken it.
I don't have an answer to your question , just got this phone yesterday and am in the process of figuring out how to root and install a custom recovery for this specific device.. I have found many methods to root but none for my specific model. I think you have the same model as I do and was hoping you could lead me to the place that will give me the files I need.. the box my phone came in has the model as ASUS_Z00TD (ZE551KL).. Sorry I wasn't of any help to you, hope you manage to figure out how to flash something that will get your device running again!

Whenever you got stuck in this situation, just flash stock recovery & you will able to flash stock rom again.

Do yo mean this stock recovery? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64441364&postcount=9
How do I flash it? just "fastboot flash recovery stock_recovery.img" ?
If so, I've tried that, and TWRP still boot when I try to enter recovery. Also, once I've flashed the stock recovery, do I just place the firmware on the root of the sdcard as 'update.zip' and try to install it from there?
Thanks for your help already, and sorry about the repetitive questions!

Hi all,
I have a bit of an issue with the latest OTA update currently being pushed out and looking for help how best to proceed.
I have unlocked and rooted the phone previously and recovery is TWRP. My phone is encrypted.
When I accepted the updated the phone rebooted and showed the TWRP splash screen which flashes on and off endlessly. If I turn the phone off and on again it restarts fine but after a few seconds the update process starts again. I am currently stuck in this loop.
Any advice as to how I can get out of this without wiping my phone?
I am wondering if I could flash the standard recovery to remove TWRP if this would work. Could it and if so, where can i get the standard recovery image.
Thanks and sorry of this is already covered, I searched but couldn't find it.
For XT1575.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/pure-firmware-tuff-wip-t3224833
If you want to update be on stock rom i.e. unrooted and no xposed,nothing added or removed from system and also flash stock recovery.
After successful update flash twrp.
So, if I want to install the lastest update it's enough to unroot, remove xposed and flash stock recovery? Or it's better to flash full stock through fastboot?
So I managed to find a link to the full image for my device (XT1572 so the above link wouldn't work to the best of my knowledge - but thanks anyway @Hitti2)
I flashed the standard recovery and rebooted which stopped the endless loop. The update still fails to install but I can live with that for now.
I'll investigate further what I need to do to get the update to take properly but for now I have a functioning phone which is a good start to the day.
Thanks all.

Final installment. Update installed and a good. For anyone who stumbles across this with a similar issue, here is what I had to do.
Flash stock boot and recovery images to remove root and TWRP.
Reboot and let the update install.
Reflashed TWRP and SuperSU (both of which are now newer versions)
Job done. Now I know for the next update [emoji6]
There is a whole thread dedicated to this update in general.

@evandena not that one. That is for a different model, I needed the firmware for the XT1572.
@chuck-fu I found a post here on XDA with a list of download links for various versions. I will dig out the link shortly and post it when I have access to my PC.
I extracted but the recovery and boot image files from that package. What you need are the images as close to possible from what is currently installed on your phone.
Edit: Here is the link to the thread with many Moto X Style images... Hopefully this will help

Thanks so much for trying to help. I went ahead and flashed the boot and recovery files for my model. I did the Boot image first, no luck. then i did the recovery, and this time andy thought a bit longer before giving me the Error! message. And then instead of my phone doing an autoreboot, it was stuck on the dead Andy and I needed to do hold down the power button to get it to shut down.
Anyone have any additional thoughts?

I was having same issue. I am stock, rooted, unlocked bootloader.
Currently using TWRP 3.0
In order to update with the new OTA you need to find a download of the .zip files and manually install it.
If you try to do OTA update it will just keep getting stuck in recovery. To get out of this just cache wipe and reboot.
This phone has never been able to take OTAs for some reason. I wish I understood why. I tried to leave the thing stock to keep things simple, but it wasn't to be... anyway...
Thanks for the advice. Any idea where to get a download of the .zip files (is it really more than one zip file, or was that a typo)? I tried searching, but can't seem to find the right things to search for.
Also, once i have the zip file(s):
1) Do I just install it via TWRP like any other zip file?
2) to get rid of the OTA prompt, do i wipe the cache and reboot before or after i install the update via the zip?
Many thanks!

I managed to update via OTA flashing the stock recovery, boot and system chunks. This is the procedure I do to update my wife's Nexus 5 and worked for the Moto X Style too. Remember to make a backup before in case something goes wrong.
Thanks for the info- what version do you have? I have the 1575 RETUS and can't find the system file. Is that basically flashing an entire ROM? Sorry, but i've flashed boot and recovery files before, as well as full ROMs but don't ever remember flashing a system file on its own.
Thanks!

I managed to update via OTA flashing the stock recovery, boot and system chunks. This is the procedure I do to update my wife's Nexus 5 and worked for the Moto X Style too. Remember to make a backup before in case something goes wrong.

I have the 1572 RETEU, but you can find the stock firmware here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/pure-firmware-tuff-wip-t3224833
If it's like the stock firmware that I have for the 1572 it should have all the img files and the system chunks. You just need to flash all the chunks like this:
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 system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
This has to be done because Marshmallow doesn't allow any modification in the system or the boot image, and will not proceed with the OTA if the ROM is not full stock.
EDIT: You will not loose any data, but any modification to the system partition will be undone.

Thanks for your help once again. I manually flashed the system files like you listed, but for whatever reason, i'm still getting the same old Error. I'm pretty sure I'm on a stock ROM.
From this site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/pure-firmware-tuff-wip-t3224833
I have flashed the XT1575 6.0 boot.img, recovery.img, then from the firmware, extracted the 8 sparsechunk files and flashed those as well. I still get the ERROR after a few seconds of trying to load the OTA.
Any other ideas by any chance? Did you do any kind of wiping in there somewhere? Did you just let the normal OTA try installing from within Android?

I just let the normal OTA install after flashing system, boot and recovery, without wiping any partition. Maybe you can try a flash all the zip to make sure it's full stock and see if the OTA install. Just make a backup before in case nothing change.
Hey all.
I'm in need of a bit of help. I have a J5 and was getting sick of being told theres never any space to install apps, so I rooted it hoping to be able to remove the stock apps that come inbuilt like word, excel etc.... Anyway, I then decided to take it a step further and try and install a custom rom, long story short, im stuck with a green screen
I've been googling and following tutorials for hours now and I'm really at the point of giving up, so thought I would reach out incase i'm just over tired from it all and making silly mistakes.
I have TWRP 3.1.1-0 on my phone, I installed Lineage 14.1 figured out how to change the updater-script, green screen. I then installed a stock rom advanced I found here, green screen. I tried Aokp nightly nougat, green screen. After googling green screen I found a post saying its something to do with incompatibility from TWRP and that I need to install lollipop 5.1.1 firmware first before I can change to lilneage 14.1... Ive been googling for ages and I'm either coming to sites that want me to pay to download it at a reasonable speed or wait for hours. I'm a bit dubious as no other rom seems to have worked and I'm not sitting here with an empty phone.
Thanks.

Flashing LP / MM / N ROMs based on AOSP/LOS over stock MM/ROMs based on stock MM --> green screen.
How to flash MM/N ROMs based on AOSP/LOS:
1) Install 5.1.1 stock firmware.
2) Install TWRP 5.1.1 (Nick's or Vince's).
3) Flash the MM/N ROM you want.

Don't suppose you know where I can find a copy, as I said in earlier post all the sites I find either take ages or want paying to upgrade to premium.

You install only stock ROM with Odin (.tar format).

Anything else I need to do first? Do I need to root it again?

Most of the roms comes with root. In case it doesnt have root, you flash it after flashing the ROM.

When I installed 5.1.1 it changed back to android recovery so I had to reinstall twrs recovery, then root again to be able to flash, but this time Lineage 14.1 finally installed
Thank you for your help.

So... I wanted to remove audioFx as I have no need for it, I had to root again... I tried the same root that I used originally but made it so it kept getting stuck on lineage boot screen and gave me no response on trying to boot to recovery. Any idea what went wrong?
Back to lineage again without root.

Did you flash the official SuperSU module from the lineage site?
No, I used Odin with the cf autoroot for my device.
I had problems with cf auto root, particularly the green screen on boot,try flashing the supersu from their site.
Tried it, used first one on the site, installed okay but can't see the su app anywhere, then tried the x86 version in case but wouldn't install.
Oh never mind, had to enable dev mode and enable root for apps and adb first, there is no actual app. I ran another app and it asked for root permission.
