Wifi model was unlocked and rooted with Franco kernel. Tried flashing stock and getting from 4.2.2 to 4.3 via toolkit and the download stopped got stuck before it took. So it was left with no OS. Tried everything I could that was simple(I'm a total noob) but could do nothing with it to get back to stock. Did factory reset and tried to go that route based on several guides it's worked for others but isn't working for me so far.
Can get to twrp using the temporary boot custom recovery in wugs toolkit. Have pushed a 4.2.2 nakasi zip into the twerp as well as USB drivers zip. They are in 'install' in twrp. The install attempts always fail. Have tried sideload with toolkit,stock recovery etc...etc... It either can't find device or times out waiting for device. Help wold much appreciated,apologizing ahead of time for being a noob who got in deeper than I should have.
Need help anybody have any ideas?

Either you are on the wrong subforum or you are confused what software you should be using. 4.2.2 was never released for Nexus 7 2013 and it is flo or deb, not nakasi, which was previous nexus 7.
As to your problem, you might have better results flashing the factory restore.

If anyone has experience with restoring from no OS...would appreciate help.
Hi there
So, I can't enter recovery when I go into the bootloader to do so. I click 'recovery' and it just shows the black start up screen with the google logo. And nothing else happens. Ever. I reflashed recovery, and was able to get into recovery to install a new rom. However, after that one time, I was once again, unable to enter recovery. Now I haven't the time to be reflashing recovery just to get into it every time I want to, so I looked for a solution.
I did some reading around and apparently it's the bootloader version I'm using. (According to post five in this thread, and my assumption that I'm having a similar problem to this thread's OP.
Now if that is the solution to my problem as well, I need a bit of help. I can't find a file for the old bootloader, nor do I have any idea how to flash an old bootloader. (And please know, I wouldn't be asking had a google search not come up fruitless).
EDIT: Would flashing a completely stock 4.4.2 image update my bootloader? I wouldn't mind doing that, rooting that, and then just installing purity rom or something.

Hi Mate ,
I been looking for the same but for other reasons , to flash it is not too difficult for what i see in this thread tell how to do it manually:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150251
or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2417097
in the first one they even have a zip version of it which should install like any other zip from recovery
Also you can use a tool kit like NRT which makes life a lot easier once you got the bootloader image...(advance utilities)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
My problem is that i do not know where can i get the different bootloader images...
To your question i think so , bootloader should be included in the factory image......downloading one to confirm.
also check this information

If you download the factory image, extract it, the bootloader is in the folder. Then just flash through fastboot. Just make sure you download the correct bootloader for your device
For anyone reading this thread, my solution was too move to the 4.32 bootloader from JWR66V. I flashed the .img file from this thread using Wugfresh's fantastic toolkit. (linked to in the 2nd post of this thread).

I would recommend learning how to use adb and fastboot. Toolkits do not always work as expected and you will then need to use fastboot to fix it
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.

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.

Thanks for the advice. I'll try that here. Just to be sure, for step 1, I assume you mean to use this tool, correct: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...ndows-tool-moto-x-style-pure-edition-t3199905)
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.
So I flashed the 7.1.1 update and everything was fine. I then tried to root through TWRP with the most recent version of recovery and and SuperSu and when I went to reboot it would get to the "Google" splash screen and go back to the warning. I then tried to restore to my Nandroid that I made right before the 7.1.1 flash but it does the same thing. I ended up doing a factory reset, still looping. I tried flashing an old firmware but it still would loop. I got desperate and did a full wipe and then flashed the old firmware from September's update but it still will not boot. I'm a long time lurker I just don't post much. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Have you tried WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit? Not sure if it will work for your situation, but it has an option to restore to factory settings and unroot if you're soft-bricked or bootlooped. Might be worth a shot if everything else isn't working.
FWIW, I successfully updated to 7.1.1 NPF10C and rooted by using fastboot to flash bootloader, radio, boot, system, and vendor. Then used TWRP 3.0.2-2 to flash SuperSU 2.78 SR1. No issues.

Hi,
I just unlocked the bootloader of my Moto G Plus 4 via adb, and after that I switched it on, it worked fine and I transferred SuperUser.zip into my phone's internal memory, and then tried to flash it through recovery, (following the sleps I read somewhere), since then my phone is not rebooting - it is rebooting into bootloader and I can enter recovery as well, but Im not able to reboot my phone. The device is being detected via adb when it is in recovery mode, but not in bootloader. Is this issue fixable? Please help me fix this.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, I'm not getting the boot animation as well. I press the power key and nothing at all happens.

You got into bootloop, just download the stock ROM and then flash it again, follow any guide over XDA or see YouTube for more help. Flash ROM without locking bootloader will be good.

Yes that is what happen after unlocking Boot loader, just flash the stock ROM using any tutorial over XDA without locking the boot loader and then follow the proper instructions to root your mobile. Rooting is very easy on Android N. So I will say flash android N and then proceed.

First thing, your query doesn't belong to the development thread. It should had been created in "Questions and Answers"
Second thing, if you flash supersu on stock rom it won't boot due some security measures of Moto. Instead flash ElementalX kernel first and then flash supersu.

If you have some confusion about flashing, be sure to check it out before going on. I believe you have some knowledge about fastboot and using it.

First thing, your query doesn't belong to the development thread. It should had been created in "Questions and Answers"
Second thing, if you flash supersu on stock rom it won't boot due some security measures of Moto. Instead flash ElementalX kernel first and then flash supersu.

i'm really sorry about posting in wrong thread.
While trying to flash ElementalX kernel through memory card, I'm getting error: Zip signature verification failed, (in red).

Last time I used fastboot was more than one year ago. Also, my device is not being detected by adb when in bootloader.

You can try one thing if you have twrp and your phone is booting into recovery then do this.
Download any custom rom based on Android N, don't go with RR for now as it is not for newbie cause new build has some issue while flashing.
Download the gapps recommend the opengapps Nano package from the opengapps.org.
Place both zip on your sd card and boot into recovery and then wipe everything like, system, dalvik cache, cache, system and then install the both zip, first rom and then install gapps. Then reboot. I hope it will fix the bootloop issue.

What did you mean by your device not being detected in bootloader mode. Did you install the right drivers. Did you install minimal adb and fastboot. Can you do the below steps and tell me the result.
1. Download the drivers from here.
For Windows: http://www.devfiles.co/download/5eEx...ager_2.5.4.exe
2. Download the Minimal ADB and Fastboot = https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120698566
3. Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot = https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2317790
4. Restart the Moto G4 in fastboot mode. (Bootloader mode)
5. Connect the Phone to the computer.
6. In adb fastboot folder shift+right click and then in the pop up click "open command window here"
7. In the command line type: "fastboot devices"
Seeing your serial number means we know all is good and your phone is connected and you can go on flash the stock firmware. If the serial number is not showing, the drivers are not properly installed.

I thought he don't have TWRP installed. If TWRP is installed, then go on with what he said. That is the best solution for you. :good:

I tried the same, but the flashing process is stuck on "Patching system image unconditionally..." I tried two different ROMs, and in both cases, it is stuck in the same step

Try with wiping everything, wipe system and internal storage as well, I know your important data will be gone but it will be worth a try. If anything comes up let us know, also what have you tried so far tell us in details so we don't repeat it over and over, also in above post some links are provided try them.

Try with other pc or change the port for data cable. It seems your system partition got corrupted, also you can mount system partition under twrp and then try to format it.

When in TWRP, go to Mount and see if system is ticked or not. If not, mount the system and wipe it. Then flash the rom again. BTW which TWRP version are you using. From where you get it.

So that is the problem. You have to install TWRP latest version. Version 3.0.2 r4 or higher by shreps will work for you. You can find it here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...covery-twrp-3-0-2-r3-moto-g4-g4-plus-t3494337
The latest version is 3.0.3 n4. Flash it, mount the system and everything will be good for you

As @nazim7 suggested you to flash the latest TWRP and then try to flash the rom again, also you can try to resize the partition and try to format it from twrp from the option in twrp. Just let us know what the result come back.

There's one more problem like I've mentioned previously. I have the latest drivers even then the device is not being detected via adb when in bootloader, but as soon as I boot into recovery, the device shows up on adb after command. How do I flash the recovery if the device doesn't show up in bootloader on adb?
