Hey guys,
I recently flashed to cm13 from the Android N Developer Preview and I formatted the userdata partition in order to decrypt the phone afterwards so TWRP could access /data but each time I boot up it's reencrypted. Any thoughts? I can't use TWRP at all to install zips or anything like that while the device is encrypted - it requires a password to decrypt /data. I've tried default_password, my pin, and rebooting before setting a password and none have worked. Please help I'm slowly dying without xposed. Also I'm not coming straight from the Android N Preview; I downgraded to M in order to get the right vendor image via the OTA update because when I tried to flash cm straight from the preview I got in a boot loop due to not having the right vendor.img if that makes any difference.

You have to flash a modified boot img. The official one automatically encrypts your phone.
Where would I find one? I found one but it just put me in a boot loop. Is there a thread for that on here or any good places you know of?
If flashing zips is the only thing you are concerned about you could give flash fire a try. It worked great for me to flash some zips in nougat.
I bought this phone used and the person who had it before me it rooted and installed some of different ROMs on it. After getting my used moto x pure 2015 running android 6.0. I booted it up and tested all the functions (including downloading a few apps) Wi-Fi, camera, audio/charging jacks ext. Everything worked fine. So did normal factory reset (not using TWRP) just to make sure everything was clean before using it as my daily. Then, (BUM BUM BUM!) when I tried to start downloading all my apps. None of them would download even though the Wi-Fi was working. Error 492 I think.
I started trying custom ROMs because I was having two big issues (apps not downloading and incoming call not bringing up accept/decline screen) with my stock rom. and wanted to fix those issues with a fresh stock image.
This is all new to me and has not been as easy as anticipated. If anyone knows a clean factory image I could flash or a fail proof fix to error 492 that would be helpful. I really just want to return to fully working Motorola stock android, but the files I have used haven’t fixed the issue. I have searched for a factory image without finding one…
Is there a way to flash the Motorola image through TRWP?
Otherwise, maybe you can help me with my flashing method, and maybe tell me what I am doing wrong. I tried to flash multiple stock images all with the same issue. I have also tried to flash Resurrection Remix, and Brocken OS, both having resulted in a bootloop. I am starting to think I have done something wrong. The steps I have taken so far have been these:
My bootloader is unlocked status code 3.
My phone is not rooted. Do I need root?
First I downloaded adb and fastboot.
Then I flashed TWRP (3.0.2).
I never installed the official Motorola stock image because flashing it from fast boot wouldn’t work and it couldn’t be flashed with TWRP because it is a .gz not a .zip. (I knew a .gz needs to be flashed with fastboot but I knew TWRP was easer so I didn’t fuss with it)
After flashing TWRP to my phone, I downloaded (yes, I checked the md5) the various ROMs to my computer then transfered them to my phone via micro SD card.
Here are the file’s names if that matters:
moto_x_pure_edition_stock_x1575_mphs24.49-18-3_v1-odexed
(booted and Wi-Fi but play store won’t download apps)
moto_x_pure_edition_stock_x1575_mph24.49-18_v1-odexed
(booted but no Wi-Fi)
Broken-v4.9.1-clark-6.0.1-OFFICIAL-20160824 (with Broken_gapps_lp5.1.x_09172015)
(Brocken was the only non-stock that got past boot, but I still couldn’t get past set up without an error and never made it to the system.)
ResurrectionRemix-N-v5.8.0-20161220-clark (7.1 gapps failed to flash but I booted it anyway.)
(boot loop after both of my tries)
I got Wi-Fi working on one of the above stock ROMs (so I KNOW it works) but couldn’t even turn Wi-Fi on in all the others.
The method I used to flash all of the above files in TWRP was:
Wipe
Full wipe (davlik cache, data, system, cache)
(used for RR and Brocken)
Factory reset (using TWRP) (davlik cache, data , cache)
Used for the stock ROMs or even after flashing .zip file I got the error: no OS installed.
Install
Select file of ROM flash (gapps if needed) and flash
I can’t remember which ones but on some of them after flashing I again did a factory reset.
Then I rebooted
Thanks for reading. Sorry it was so long. I tried to add as much useful information as possible. Hopefully someone smarter than me will see my error(s) and help me get my phone into fully working order.

I'm having a similar issue. Tried the TruPure rom but I want to switch back to stock. If I do a full wipe, would I be able to use the files that Motorola provides on their website and flash those throught fastboot? Or through TWRP? Any chance you have a link to a guide on how to do the latter option (installing through TWRP)? I'm just trying to get my device back to 100% stock so that I can receive OTA.

Thank you for sharing that link. I think I get it but it seems too easy considering what I've tried so far. Just to make sure I get it:
I should download the odexed rom, go to twrp and wipe data, cache and dalvik then flash the odexed rom through the install function? And thats it? I've literally tried a ton of stuff so if this takes care of it, this is great!

Yes, also wipe system, make a backup before If you want, but remember, for the OTAs support you need yo flash the stock recovery via fastboot. Good luck.

This got me back to stock! You are the real MVP.
So I remember seeing a recovery.img file in the factory image that motorola posted on its site. Does it have to be a specific stock recovery or do I need a specific one to match with the file I just installed?
thanks again

So I'm on stock build 49-18-8 and flashed the recovery from 49-18-3. I went into fastboot and selected recovery. I got the android character with an !
I then did the power button and volume up and got into stock android recovery. Am I supposed to see the android character with ! each time I try to reach the recovery menu? Just wondering if I did this correctly.
Thanks again for pointing me to these resources!

Yes.
Hi guys, been using my rooted but otherwise stock OOS rom with TWRP and Magisk for the past few weeks. Today I decided to take the plunge and try either the Lineage OS or Resurrection Remix roms.
I'm using the latest OFFICIAL TWRP.
So I decrypted following the instructions to flash "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip", then format data. All went well, so I then sent over the ROMS I wanted to try out. I started with the official ResurrectionRemix. Bootloop. Then the unofficial LineageOS. Bootloop.
Ok, well I guess I'm not gonna get to use any of the cool new OS's for awhile. I'll install the full stock firmware zip so I can have a working phone again. Bootloop.
Now when I say bootloop, the phone is booting to the BootAnimation and just repeating it. It shows the proper boot animation for whatever zip I have installed (resurrection/LOS/OOS), but it stays on there for up to 20 minutes before I have to hard reboot to the recovery again.
I decided to install the stock recovery trying a few methods. I first tried the ALL-IN-ONE tool. It said it flashed the recovery fine, so I booted to the recovery and after staying on a black screen for too long, the language options came up and I sighed a breath of relief. But before I could select English with the volume buttons, it rebooted by itself. It did this again when I manually entered recovery. So I figured maybe the tool flashed the wrong version, so I googled stock recovery for OnePlus 5, I found a few random links for stock recoveries for the OP5 and flashed them, but they more or less do the same thing or not boot at all.
I've tried changing the filesystem for both Data and System using any combinations of EXT4 and F2FS. Everything results in boot animation bootloops.
I have been flashing Roms since the Samsung Galaxy S3 and every phone since and never had any problems.
Currently when trying to install the stock Full OOS official zip with TWRP, the phone won't even go to the boot animation, it only goes to a black screen with the top LED in a light blue color.
I have also tried every version of TWRP there is for the OnePlus 5. Unofficial, Official, 3.1.1-0 and 3.1.1-1.
So I guess my question is....What filesystem is each partition supposed to be on and for which OS?
Lineage based:
System: ?
Data: ?
OOS Based:
System: ?
Data: ?
And any ideas on getting my phone running again?
And anyone have an official confirmed working version of the stock recovery? The one from ALL-IN-ONE TOOL doesn't work for me. It loads the language selection, then the screen goes black with a light blue LED on the top of the phone.
Actually I'm getting that on some roms instead of the bootanimation, like FreedomOOS. What does it mean when you have a black screen and a white LED?
Man, I really thought I was getting somewhere. If I boot into TWRP, change the Data partition to "F2FS", then flash the stock recovery, the stock recovery will boot, however, when inside the stock recovery and I try to flash the stock zip, it says "Flashing, don't turn off your device" for about 5 seconds and then goes back to the list of roms on the SD card, not having flashed anything at all.
Ok, I have the official stock recovery from the OnePlus site, but still can't use it. Here is was happens depending on how I left it with TWRP:
System: F2FS
DATA: F2FS
- Stock recovery will load after some time, freeze, then the screen goes black with white LED on top.
System: EXT4
DATA: F2FS
- Stock recovery loads fine, I can go through the settings and install from SD card, but when I do it says "Flashing, don't turn off your device" for about 5 seconds and then goes back to the list of roms on the SD card, not having flashed anything at all.
System: EXT4
DATA: F2FS
- If I try to flash stock rom through TWRP, it just boot loops on the animation forever.
I have now also tried flashing the stock boot.img, but no difference.
I have 2 things you can try!
First, replace the bootloader with stock and do a factory reset:
1. flash the stock recovery over
2. then in fastboot mode enter, fastboot oem lock (This forces the phone to wipe cache and data, and also do a complete reset)
Did it work? if yes YAY if not go to Second!
Second if your system.img is ****ed up you have to replace it!
Download the newest version of the stock rom from oneplus link here
Unpack it
research how to use an extractor to convert the system.new.dat to system.img
once thats completed enter fastboot mode and flash the new system.img over with Fastboot flash system system.img
now go into recovery and do a factory reset and wipe cache, and dalvik
Please reply back wether or not this work
"Ihave 2 things you can try! First, replace the bootloader with stock and do a factory reset..."
Is the bootloader simply the boot.img?
After doing the first thing, it simply says that the device is corrupt and will not boot. But it is locked again.
But I will have to unlock it again to do any further flashing.
Hmm, I think I may have gotten it. After unlocking again, flashing the stock recovery and boot.img, then locking again and wiping in the stock recovery, I have finally booted into the stock rom.
I still have no idea what went wrong, and I really want to know, so that in the future I can flash other Roms, like LineageOS.
I mean, I followed the steps exactly.
If it says the device is corrupt it simply means you got something else besides stock rom.
So now unlock it and try the system.img instead
It was because I still had TWRP with the stock rom.
I got it working though, thanks for your help.
Do you have any idea on what might have went wrong when trying to flash the lineageOS based roms and why it got messed up so royally?
Great to hear you fixed it ^_^
Probably some minor bug, if you wanna try installing lineageos again use the 3.1.1 TWRP build that supports backups and do a full backup so you don't have to go thru all this again
---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------
Not really just try again but remember to use TWRP 3.1.1, as 3.1.0 don't support backup and probably have been part of your problem
If your trying again and gets it successfully installed could you do me a favor and test if Drivedroid works on it? And pm me the result, I'm looking for a rom where Drivedroid will work... Haven't found one so far
You know, I did do a backup with the OFFICIAL TWRP, but it also resulted in a bootloop. I made the backup after decrypting, so I don't know why it bootlopped.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/development/rom-unified-lineageos-7-1-2-t3635483
Is this the one you tried installing?
I tried like every ROM at one point yesterday, but I think I started with
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/development/rom-resurrection-remix-n-7-1-2-t3636578
Did you remember Gapps?
Also in some cases its better not to root before you have the custom rom running, you usually only need a custom bootloader like TWRP
Yeah, I tried with Gapps, and I never rooted before first trying to boot.
As of yesterday Ressurrection remix, released the first official stable build so try again your should'nt have any problems if you follow the guide 100%
Ever find a solution? I'm stuck here now. Can't get any ROM to boot up, they all get stuck on the boot animation
Bump. I am also stuck in this state
I have a US Oneplus2 that is stuck on the animation when it boots. I can get into TWRP and Fastboot, latest TWRP works and can also use an older version that I had.
I made a TWRP backup that I pulled off onto another computer. I then installed OOS 3.5.1 (I think) to do some testing. Once I was done testing, I decided I wanted the latest lineage as my backup was a 6 month old version of the latest at that time. I used TWRP to wipe the data, cache, and system to then install the latest Lineage 14.1 11/24/17 and gapps mini and micro (tested both). It gets to the lineage boot animation and the ball goes back and forth forever. I have left it over night and it's still going. I have rebooted the device, installed lineage several times, moved to 12/1/17 today with the same results.
After messing with it for hours and days, I decided to just put the TWRP backup back on the phone and then update from there. Well... my custom animation is load but the animation is also going forever.
Looking for some help on what might be wrong with the phone, thanks.
Make sure everything is formatted as ext4 and update firmware to 3.6.1 just to rule it out.
I would use the latest twrp.
I go to format tick all the boxes and clear everything then go to reboot > recovery. Once back in twrp copy the ROM and gapps across from pc install ROM and gapps together, wipe cache and dalvik reboot.
I'm in the process of doing that now.
The TWRP that I'm using is 3.1.1-0 which looks to be the latest. I am working with OOS 3.5.8 but will look at downloading 3.6.1. I am working to get Lineage 14.1 on there once everything is stable.
I ran into another weird is when using the qualcomm recovery tool:
My method is to enable ADB, enable OEM Unlock, enable Advanced Reboot.
Reboot into fastboot
Fastboot oem unlock: is successful
Fastboot reboot
I then go through renabling ADB and Advanced Reboot, OEM Unlock is still enabled.
I then reboot into fastboot
Fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-oneplus2.img
This completes successfully and then I fastboot reboot.
I have tried several times to get into TWRP but I keep getting the stock recovery.
I have tried to reflash recovery but nothing ever changes.
Is there possibly something wrong with the OEM unlock that says it was successful?
How do I go about troubleshooting this?
Ok, I fixed that and install OOS 3.6.1 and then was able to install TWRP 3.1.1-0.
I then wanted to install Lineage 14.1:
I then formatted Cache, System, Data, Dalvik... everything but internal. Should I wipe internal as well?
I copied over linage 14.1 and open_gapps for the same build micro.
I now am back to getting the Lineage Boot animation.
Thanks for helping since I'm trying to get Lineage to boot.

Internal doesn't really matter to be honest, did you check they data and system are formatted as ext4.
It is in twrp advanced wipe options.
Did it ever boot ?
I did doubt check the data and system are formatted as ext4.
I let it sit for 3-4 hours and didn't see any progress.
Try a different rom. There are a lot of lineage based roms around.
I tried that and am getting the same results. Even if I flash a full TWRP backup from a time when I had it known to be working it happens.
I've tested this with 3 different roms now. My latest attempt has been to update TWRP to 3.2.1 and then install lineage 14.1 20171208. I also tested with Paranoid and Carbon because they were near the top of my list not because I know anything about them.
The phone just never gets past the boot animation. If I reboot to recovery is there a log I can pull to see what the issue is?
Thanks
Would like to see if anyone has any thoughts. If I run OOS I can use the phone but as of right now I can't use any other rom.
Is there any advanced fastboot or wipes that can be done to get it to boot. Is there any type of debugging that will show me what's happening when it tries to boot.
Just trying to bump this, I really need a way to debug this problem. Besides running OOS, I have a feeling this device is bricked and the mega unbrick guide doesn't work.
Also looks like if I try to put Kali on top of the base 3.5.8, the phone goes into the animation loop. So any change after OOS on the device puts it into an animation loop.
Is there a way the system or boot locked? Even thought I can TWRP anything onto the phone without errors.
Hey!
I've got the same issue it seems, phone just sticks to boot animation when flashing any other ROM than OOS 3.6.1.
Any update?
EDIT :
problem was with the persist.img
Flashed a different firm file and it was resolved

OOS does not refuse to boot if a mountable partition is corrupt. This is not the case with lineage. If a mountable partition is corrupt and the corresponding fstab entry does not allow lineage to format and somehow mount it then init never proceeds
Try flashing this file: https://glassrom.botstack.host/firmware/oos-3.6.1-firmware-signed.zip and try again
Note that this file reboots the device after the flash is done so don't use twrp queue to flash this file. Flash this file last
---------- Post added at 17:45 ---------- Previous post was at 17:34 ----------
Alternatively this is a method I don't recommend to beginners because they accidentally give twrp logs to devs without realising it
You can get logs by making the forcing the device to "crash" through the power button
Here's how it's done: you boot the non-booting ROM and wait for about a minute. Then press power + volume down while it's on the bootanimation. You have to hold it until you see the oneplus logo and boot to twrp
TWRP's kernel will recover the last booted kernel's log from ram and place it in /sys/fs/pstore
First you have to open the log yourself to check if it's valid. The file is console-ramoops-0. All other log files in that location are invalid for your specific issue
Now for an ordinary user this is hard. They can't tell if the log is a recovery log or a ROM log. Since we're dealing with official lineageos we assume selinux would be enforcing
You want to search for this string "permissive=1". On Linux just do cat console-ramoops-0 | grep "audit" (quotes are part of the command)
If you're on windows then you can download Linux and get the logs. Stop bothering me
If you see the string "permissive=1" in the log you have accidentally fetched a recovery log
Go back and boot again and wait for about a minute if selinux is permissive
The string should read
"permissive=0"
That means selinux is enforcing and this is indeed a ROM log
Send this log here
Hello,
Was this problem ever solved? I am experiencing the very same thing with every single ROM i have tried so far. TWRP is installed, I can install all ROMS but when I try to boot the phone, it just won't get passed the booting animation.
Thank you
My phone is android 6.0 and I've been using "TruPureXMM 2.9" ever since it first came out. I have a February 1, 2016 android security patch level and my system version is 24.11.18 clark_retus.retus.en.US retus
I had an older version of twrp so I just updated it to the latest one before attempting this ofc...
I tried flashing the latest RR and AICP and both give me boot loops and I always get this one problem where it says
"mount: failed to mount /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name
/modem at /firmware: Device or resource busy"
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the bootloop though...
Going to recovery after seeing the bootloop I always get the "keep system read only?" prompt where i swipe to allow modification but i usually just restore back to my backup from there... i dont think allowing it and trying to boot again will get rid of the bootloop...
I followed the process of first doing a full wipe with twrp > flash rom > flash gapps > restart system
no idea what i'm doing wrong..

1st - you need twrp 3.x+,
2nd - full wipe - format data, adv.wipe - all without micro sd.
3rd - flash rom, flash gapps(opengapps.org, ≤mini, arm64, 7.1)
Last Rr is for Nougat modem - you are on MM modem.
Flash RR 21.11.2017.

The first 3 steps I've already done that since the beginning
Where can i get the nougat modem/is it possible to update to it? I guess that's the reason every single 7.1 custom rom I tried in the android development section gave me boot loops...
And could you link the 21.11.2017 version of RR? I'm looking at the download links for RR and I dont see one with that exact date
edit-just saw your edit
Custom roms for MM modem works better.
I fully wiped using TWRP, checked everything I possibly could except my micro SD card and I flashed RR-N-v5.8.5-20171121-clark-Final.zip then gapps arm64, 7.1 nano and it's still giving me boot loops. I'm using TWRP 3.2.1-0
im gonna try using gapps arm64 7.1 mini really quick since you said I should use that one and see if it boot loops... - Edit guess I was too optimistic thinking this would fix it
Bugs probably after flashing december RR.
Change twrp to 3.1.x, reboot twrp, change all partitions to ext4 - adv wipes - One by one - cache, system, data, reboot twrp.
Change back to f2fs - only cache & data, wipe all, flash what I wrote.

changed to 3.1.1-0 and did everything you said, still have boot loop...
when flashing this RR i still get this, not sure if it's a problem but thought I would just let you know
"mount: failed to mount /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name
/modem at /firmware: Device or resource busy"

It doesn`t matter.
Try another custom - LOS f.e.
If bootloop still will be - you should flash full stock.
Last MM for RetUs

I tried crDroidAndroid-7.1.2-20171119-clark-v3.8.3.zip and it still boot loops :\ I also already tried LineageOS and AICP before we started talking
I went back to my backup and it put me in a bootloop which never happened before but changing cache back to ext4 instead of f2fs fixed it..

A little late to chime in and this does not help with your current situation, but here's a little advice. I flash a lot of ROMs (how else am I going to test builds right?). This error happens all the time, BUT if you flash a ROM twice it should not show on the 2nd flash.
So flash order goes:
Wipe/Factory reset
Format data x3 (yes I format my data 3 times for every ROM)
Reboot
Wipe/Factory reset
ROM
ROM again
GAPPS
Wipe caches
Reboot
Do the Initial setup
Reboot before use
OPTIONAL Kernel (if its not already build in)
OPTIONAL Magisk (I never flash Magisk on a clean build but heck I'm expecting a NON boot most of the time anyways)
At this point I would flash the stock Nougat image via fastboot to get the device operational again... Then look at TWRP, root, or custom ROM.

so should I just straight up flash the nougat image via fastboot from your thread here? https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/xt1575-moto-x-pure-edition-factory-t3704142
i dont need to go back to mm stock or something first? I don't really have much knowledge about this.

Correct... And verify everything is working properly before you flash TWRP, root, or take any OTA update.

so i finished flashing that nougat firmware and looks like everything is working ok, does that mean I can try flashing custom roms after twrp now?

Boot TWRP (don't flash it) and make a full back, and I would recommend not talking any OTAs either.
Then knock yourself out... You can always get back to this state if things go badly.

I tried out AICP, AOKP, and RR. All latest versions and they worked but for some reason my data doesn't work on any of those customs.
guess my happiness was short lol. Considering just staying stock now

I'm not sure for others but RR - only 5.8.5-04.12 works with N modem.
Did you check/set access points properly?
All customs for N modem(I think) have problems with notification sound, so you can stay at stock.

I'm using t-mobile and I've checked the access points, clicking on the one im using and hitting save doesn't fix it. Always getting a notification telling me to sign in to network. Not sure what else I can do. I'll give it a day since I had this kind of problem before when I switched sim cards and data didn't work until the next day
Edit - just went back to stock and my data doesn't work now either... just going to stay at RR now and hope my data fixes itself because my access point settings for tmobile should be correct since I looked it up on the official website..
