Force Upgrade / Installing ROM using UPDATE.APP (Method #1)
What's this all about?
* Incase you haven't heard about 'UPDATE.APP', it's one of the format used by Huawei/OEM to pack ROMs & provide updates.
* This method requires a MicroSD with minimum size of 2 GB as the ROM itself could cost 1.2 GB for newer version of android, eg: KitKat.
* Under normal 'Local Upgrade' mode, you are ONLY allowed to upgrade if your current version is listed under the ROM's supported version.
* But with 'Force Upgrade', we can bypass version check and upgrade/downgrade to any supported ROM, as long as it's made for the device.
Warning
* You must be running stock recovery in order for this to work, otherwise use method #2 below to call this function.
* Although it's called 'upgrade', it's not actually an upgrade, it's more like a Full Reset as data partitions will be cleared.
* Make sure the phone is fully charged as the upgrade process is power-intensive and will drain your battery quickly.
1) Download the target ROM file, extract the zip, copy extracted 'dload' folder to SDCard as '/sdcard/dload/UPDATE.APP'.
2) Power off the phone, restart the phone by holding [Volume Up/+] & [Volume Down/-], then press & hold [Power] button.
3) The phone will be booted into recovery and the upgrade process will begin automatically.
* The upgrade process takes around 3-10 minutes depending on your memory card speed.
4) Once the upgrade process completed, a large 'OK' text similar to below will be shown and the phone will reboot by itself.
NOTE: If you are having International (aka MY/TW) set and upgrading to non-official ROM, you might also get the following error.
* The error was caused by missing preset in /cust partition specific for your country/region in non-official ROM, eg: ROMs from emui.com.
* Don't worry as it won't affect the phone basic functionality, just restart the phone manually if you get the error message.

Force Upgrade / Installing ROM using UPDATE.APP (Method #2)
What's this all about?
* Similar to method #1 above, this method can also be used to bypass version check when flashing 'UPDATE.APP'.
* Unlike method #1 above, this method calls the target ROM's recovery and enter SD Upgrade with the help of 'au_temp.cfg'.
* This method can be used even you are not using stock recovery, eg: installed a custom recovery.
* However, NOT all target ROM support calling upgrade using this method, if that is the case use method #1 above.
1) Download the target ROM file, extract the zip, copy extracted 'dload' folder to SDCard as '/sdcard/dload/UPDATE.APP'.
2) Create an empty file 'au_temp.cfg' and copy it to '/sdcard/dload/au_temp.cfg' alongside 'UPDATE.APP'.
3) Power off the phone, then start the phone normally by pressing [Power] button only.
4) The phone will be booted into recovery and the upgrade process will begin automatically.
* All remaining steps are similar to method #1 above. (Step 3 onwards)

Reverting to / Restoring Stock Recovery
What's this all about?
* Some people prefer custom recovery (eg: TWRP, CWM) over stock recovery because the earlier provides more functionality.
* However, custom recovery does not work well with Huawei specific update files, for eg: EMUI OTA zip and UPDATE.APP.
* Because of this you will need to restore the stock recovery before you perform any EMUI related update.
* Please note that the 'stock recovery' we are talking about is the 'Android system recovery <3e>'.
1) Download recovery flashable stock recovery 'UPDATE-RestoreStockRecovery_*.zip' from HERE.
2) Copy above .zip file to your external sdcard.
3) Boot into your custom recovery, eg: TWRP and flash (Install) the updater zip that you just copied.
4) If the flashing process completed successfuly, you should have the stock recovery restored to phone memory.
5) To confirm, back to [Home], enter '[Reboot/Power]' menu and choose 'Reboot into Recovery'.

EXTRA: Working With UPDATE.APP - Making it flashable for SP Flash Tool
Part #1 - Converting Huawei UPDATE.APP to SP FlashTool Flashable Files
What's this all about?
* OK, now you know you can apply update using 'UPDATE.APP' by placing it in /sdcard/dload/ folder.
* But do you know there is another way to flash the images directly with computer? Yes there is, by using SP FlashTool.
* This can be quite useful (and dangerous too) as you can skip/bypass the version check enforced by Huawei/OEM.
* Other than that, this method can also be used to install non-official ROM, provided that the ROM is compatible with the device.
Warning:
* Make sure you use UPDATE.APP that was built for your device, in this case, Honor 3C (H30-U10)
For this guide, i will be using update package H30-U10_EMUI_2.3_4.7.16.zip Dev KitKat build (860 MB+) as an example.
1) Download 'Huawei Update Extractor' by @worstenbrood HERE, get the non-setup version. (Don't forget to thank him!)
2) Extract the program files to a new folder named 'HuaweiUpdateExtractor' under 'Honor3C' project dir as shown below.
3) Extract the downloaded update package 'H30-U10_EMUI_*.zip', locate the extracted folder 'dload' and open the folder.
4) Inside 'dload' folder you have 'UPDATE.APP', move the file into 'ROM_UPDATE' folder under 'Honor3C' project dir.
5) Now back to 'HuaweiUpdateExtractor' program folder and launch the program.
6) Set Profile to Unknown, click the browse icon, browse to 'ROM_UPDATE' folder, select 'UPDATE.APP' and click 'Open'.
7) The images list should be loaded as shown below.
8) Right click on any item to bring up the action menu, select 'Extract All' and click on it.
9) Browse to 'Honor3C' project folder, select 'ROM_UPDATE' and press 'OK' button.
10) Wait until the extraction complete, this may take a few minutes...
11) Extraction completed, close the extraction dialog and the main program.
12) Open 'ROM_UPDATE' folder and verify that all images were extracted. (Folder size should be doubled now)
13) Click on '_PrepareFiles.exe' provided in the folder. (Required .NET 2.0+)
14) Now the ROM files are ready to be loaded from SP FlashTool.

Part #2 - Flashing ROM using Files Exported From UPDATE.APP
Warning:
* Your device MUST be UNLOCKED in order to be able to flash using this unsigned ROM.
* Please note that ALL existing user data on the device will be removed as the partitions get formatted.
Tips:
* Although it's not compulsory but i recommend you to do a factory/data reset through recovery before booting the new rom for the first time.
* For international set users: If you are not flashing official ROM from Huawei, you will need to apply modem fix to regain call functionality.
Once you have prepared all the needed files from previous step, you can flash the ROM back to device.
1) Open SP FlashTool, click on [Scatter-loading] and browse to 'Honor3C' project dir, select 'ROM_UPDATE' folder and click 'Open'.
2) Select 'MT6582_Android_scatter.txt' found in the folder and click 'Open'.
3) The partitions info should be loaded as shown below, ALL items MUST be defined and checked.
4) Now press [Firmware Upgrade] button or 'F8' on keyboard.
5) SP FlashTool is waiting for connection, now connect your phone to computer using USB cable, WITHOUT the battery inserted.
6) SPFT has successfully established a connection with the phone, the upgrade process will begin.
7) SP FlashTool will format the target partitions first before writing to it.
8) Upgrade in progress, this may take a few minutes...
9) The following GREEN circle will be displayed if the upgrade succeeded.
10) Now DISCONNECT the USB cable from your phone.
Recommended extra steps
1) Re-insert battery to your phone, press [Volume Up] + [Power] button to enter recovery.
2) Perform a 'Factory Reset/Wipe data' before booting from the new rom for the first time.

GUIDE: How to upgrade to unofficial KitKat for International set users + Custom ROM preview
Want to try out the latest unofficial EMUI 3.0 KitKat but the above guides are too complicated for you?
No problem! Let me summarize the upgrade process a little bit.
UPDATE: This guide is NOT suitable for devices that come with build number: B127/B129/B111. (Touch issue)
Prerequisites:
* Charge your phone, make some backups, sync your data, prepare a minimum 2 GB memory card.
* Download latest unofficial KitKat ROM in UPDATE.APP format from this page. (Press 'ROM包下载' under '稳定版')
* Download TWRP Live Recovery, gapps-kk-*-signed.zip, UPDATE-SuperSU*.zip & optional UPDATE-*Fix*.zip.
* Extract the downloaded KitKat ROM zip & copy 'dload' folder to memory card as /sdcard/dload/.
* Also copy all others UPDATE*.zip to root dir of memory card, eg: UPDATE*.zip, gapps*.zip
Step by Step:
1) Power off the phone, enter SD Upgrade mode by pressing & holding both Volume+/- & Power keys.
2) Wait until the upgrade process complete and choose 'reboot system now', then proceed to the EMUI setup.
3) Check if your IMEI is available, if IMEI is missing remember to flash 'UPDATE-ModemFix*' later.
4) Connect the phone with USB to PC & replace /sdcard/dload/ folder with the one from Live Recovery.
5) Now reboot the phone normally and you will be booted into Live Recovery automatically.
6) In TWRP, touch [Install] & apply all the UPDATE*.zip. (SuperSU -> Gapps -> FullRootHelper -> * ModemFix)
7) Reboot the device normally, done.
* Optional: ModemFix is ONLY applicable to International/Europe set users, only apply the fix if your IMEI is missing.
Warning:
Above steps can be done WITHOUT unlocking bootloader, HOWEVER, there are some limitations:
* You MUST NOT use 'Local Upgrade' or 'OTA' to perform update afterwards, otherwise a soft-brick *might* occurs.
* In order to be able to update through OTA, you MUST unlock the bootloader, then ALL update method can be used.
* To avoid such problem, it's recommended that you unlock the bootloader first before performing any upgrade.
* However, if you choose to unlock the bootloader, you may void the warranty of your phone, please decide wisely.
* Although reverting to factory ROM is possible, getting IMEIs back working in factory ROM is extremely tricky.
* DO NOT attempt to update to any unofficial ROM (including this one) if warranty is part of your concern.
Side Note:
* It's recommended that you to revert back to official KitKat once it's available. (Check your local huawei site)
P/S: I strongly recommend you to create a Full ROM dump using 'SPFT Readback' before you start flashing to device.
You can also use MTK Droid Root & Tools by rua to dump your current ROM.

if i restore from a backup dump firmware which was the official my firmware, will it auto lock the bootloader too?

Hey, it's nice to see you here, good question you have there!
Well, to answer your question, theoretically yes, but the answer is NO.
Remember that i mentioned in the guide that you CAN'T restore from the SPFT Readback ROM dump if your bootloader is still locked?
The reason behind this is that the SPFT expects you to provide signed images as sources.
Since the dumped images are no longer signed, SPFT will not allow you to flash it, unless the dump was from an unlocked ROM,
Even if you managed to restore the files, you won't be able to boot the device either because the locked BL just won't work with these unsigned images.
BUT, if you are following my guide and use my tool to process the dump file, the output files will be a fully unlocked ROM instead.
The tool will helps you to replace all neccessary files and convert it to a fully unlocked ROM, which you can flash back to device, provided that your BL has been unlocked.
The ONLY known method to relock bootloader is by flashing the B108_Signed images which you can find in OP.
I hope this clarifies some of your doubts, let me know if you have any other question.

imei issue
i already flashed back to official signed firmware, but now my imei are both null. what do you think could be the cause of the problem?
EDIT*
OK i dont know what happened. now i got my IMEI back after flashing back to emui2.3

Big, Big THANKS
I just came upon this thread and I just want to say a big thanks for all that you have done here.
So much information in one spot is just fantastic.
Great Job !!!!

I have a Chinese version of the 3C. I have installed all the different recoveries that you have and the only one I could get to boot was the TWRP.
Thanks for everything here

If you flashed unofficial EMUI 2.3 KK ROM and applied ModemFix, you will need to flash official ROM (Eg: B115) before returning to the locked ROM.

Yea, my CWM ports are based on International 4.2.2 ROM, so they might not be compatible with China set.
Anyway i have ported another one based on Carliv modified CWM, but using files from KK instead, would you mind to help me test it?
Since we have a working TWRP, the CWM based recoveries will be served as alternatives incase someone still prefer the old school style,
but please be reminded that these CWM ports are outdated and might contains bugs.

Hey, nice to see you here! Some of my colleagues already tested your 6pack KK build, and they have good comments about it. :good:
About your question, if international set H3C user flashed emui.com's ROMs, the device will not be able to detect or read the IMEIs,
but the issue can be easily fixed by applying ModemFix provided on this thread. Regarding your ASAP ROM, i am not quite sure,
did you port that using ROM from huaweidevice.com.tw as base? if yes then should be no problem.
Btw, would you mind if i add your ROMs to OP under 'Flashable Custom ROM' section? Nice work btw.

Hi, i am not sure if there is any compatible MIUI ROM available for this device, as we just managed to unlock it.
But for custom ROM, yes, there are many ported from China ROM, you can also check out ROMs ported by @flufytendo.
Just another kind reminder, unlocking the device will void the phone warranty, decide wisely, and always make backup, rom dump, etc.

For asap I have to fixing the same for China version (is really a c900b1 rom).
I tried your carliv cwm, carliv touch and twrp. The last only can use internal sd for backup and restore so it's a big problem because whenever you install a zip or restore all backups will be lost.
I'm using just now the carliv cwm at Chinese phone, I'll tell you about it . Edit: doesn´t work for intalling zips
For my roms I'd rather links to movilesdualsim, I'm from the staff so is better for our forum. But in the other hand I will do new tutorials for outdoor phones with your work, so as you wish.
one question, where come from the modem.img for fixing kk roms? from jb updates?
edit: kk carliv doesn´t work either for chinese version

I would be happy to test out Carliv mod CWM.
Two of the custom roms on Needrom ask for CWM to install them with. Both failed the install with TWRP even though I was able to boot into one of them. I will let you know how the new recovery works.
UPDATE: I installed the recovery and I could get it to boot up and work fine. I tried to install 2 custom KK roms from Needrom and the install on both of them failed. When I tried to boot into them I got stuck on the Honor splash screen. I will try some other Chinese custom KK roms later and let you know how it goes.
My phone is a 3C H30-U10 Chinese version
Thanks again

[Q] Claro 801/803 stock firmware flash question

I have a Claro D801/803 which has been through hell and back with a QHUSB 9008 error -> 9006 error (without the right IMG files) and now finally I have achieved download mode.
Now if any of you gents can tell me how to go from here to Cloudy or CM (as in - which files to use), it will be much appreciated. I'm really really scared of flashing the wrong thing again. The Claro phone is extremely fragile...
Also two worrisome questions :
1. will this phone be carrier locked the moment I flash the kdz ?
2. Is this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 - the way to flash. In which case, should I choose CDMA in the flash tool as well as "Korean" as language. The instructions on that page are not entirely clear.

For the benefit of those who may have the same question about the Claro 801/803, here are the steps to follow. First - save a nandroid backup and also backup your photos, music,etc. Also check if you are starting from Jellybean or Kitkat.
1. Install Towelroot and just click the button to root. Reboot (even though it says you dont need to)
2. Download TWRP 2.8 from here. Unzip the zip file to get an IMG file. Put this on your phone.
3. Install "Flashify" from play store. Click the button that says "Install Recovery", then select "From file" and point it to the IMG file you put on your phone in step 2.
4. Reboot.
5. Check if recovery is working - the way to do it is simple. Power off your phone -> press "Vol-Down + Power button" until it shows a screen saying "Press power button for factory reset". At this point press power button THREE times. If you have the recovery installed, it will boot to TWRP recovery... otherwise your phone will factory reset and you will lose your pictures (so make sure your phone is backed up).
At this point you are ready to install ROMS !!
There are two main ROMs for the LG G2 right now - the Cyanogenmod 12 Lollipop and the Cloudy G3. The CM12 ROM can work on Jellybean baseband/radio while the Cloud ROMs need Kitkat Basebands/Radio. Now, at this point I decided to not flash Kitkat based basebands because ... well, I might as well wait for Lollipop to flash the updated baseband.
so I decided to go with CM12 - and flashed the CM12 ROM and gapps.

Newbie guide for installing a Custom ROM in SGP312 Sony Xperia Tablet Z

The objective of this post is to explain how to currently install a custom ROM in our device. (for total newbies like me, you can also refer -among others- to my previous post). I give the general procedure which wipes everything in your device, but you can check various precious posts in xda that variate this procedure.
The codename for our device is "pollux_windy", which is the Wifi-only version. The LTE version (I should probably get the LTE!) is "pollux" and I suppose the general procedure (with the corresponding firmwares to your specific device) will work for any Xperia device. You can also get the general idea from this post.
As a general rule of thumb do not forget after/before every firmware flashing to:
Enable developer mode (explained here)
Enable the USB Debugging mode (explained here)
Trust installation from unknown sources (explained here)
Steps.
A. Unlock the bootloader.
You can refer here and then check that it is successfully unlocked with these steps (taken from here ):
Open the Contacts app.
Click the menu button.
Click Settings.
Long press (for about 5 seconds) somewhere in the empty space just above status bar, as indicated by the red frame in the screenshot below, and then release your finger. A button named Enter service code will then appear in the same area (this may take a few tries).
Click Enter service code. A dialler will appear.
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* . Then go to -> "Service Info" -> "Configuration". If there is:
Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes << this means that your Bootloader is Locked
Bootloader Unlocked - Yes << this means that your bootloader is unlocked
B. Flash a firmware in which you will root the device
Download/install FlashTool.
Download and place to the FlashTool's folder "firmwares" the firmware "SGP312_10.5.A.0.230_VMo UK_IE.ftf". More information here . In sort, download and extract http://d-h.st/MrI and http://d-h.st/ULc
Open FlashTool and connect the powered-off device (USB cable) in Flashmode, holding the Volume Down button while you plugin the usb cable. The FlashTool should say that it is connected in Flashmode. Then flash the 10.5.A.0.230 firmware in it.
C. Gain root to the new firmware
Open the device, complete the setup wizard and connect to a wireless network. You do not have to setup the Google Account since you can download every application googling the respective APK files, but Google Play is easier to use.
Get (click λ) the towelroot APK, install it and run it (click "make it rain"). You should have root, which you can check with a Root Cheker like this one.
Download/Install SuperSU APK (this is actively developed, while SuperUser is abandoned at the moment) as described here.
D. Install a Recovery to easily flash new ROMs
NUT has done excellent work with XZDualRecovery.Follow the instructions for installing it in his thread. In short:
Download the installer, run it and follow its instructions.
Select SuperSU and of course grant access to your computer from your tablet (watch the tablet screen).
E. Download a Custom ROM and Google Apps
I had problems with Cyanogenmod (versions 11 and 12) that I cannot explain. I had no GPS and no media sound from the speakers, but I did have "notifications" sound! I could listen to "media" sounds using headphones, though. So I tried the nightly OmniROM which seems very stable and fast at the moment, with no sound problems and also has a working GPS! You can get it directly from their site (the NIGHTLY I downloaded is omni-4.4.4-20150223-pollux_windy-NIGHTLY.zip which runs just fine). Somewhere I read that PacMan ROM - also works perfectly but I have not tested it yet.
I had device recognition problems from the Recoveries ("Status 7 Error") that I think dear NUT will solve promptly. What I did to solve them is
Upack the ROM zip.
Remove the first line (from assert(...); till the column) of META_INF/com/google/android/updater-script and save the file.
repack the ROM to a zip.
Then copy this zip to your external SD card. If you need google apps (you probably do, to use Google Play instead of other applications like Aptoide), you will also need to download and place to your external SD card the corresponding google apps from here - (I found it in this post - which also explains the different gapps versions)
F. Install the Custom ROM
So now that both the ROM and (optionally) gapps are in the device's SD card:
Enter the Recovery while repeatedly pressing Volume Up or Down while the device boots.
Wipe everything (except the external SD card, obviously --- if you delete the zip files by mistake you must begin again from step B. using the FlashTool to flash the *.230* ftf).
Reboot and setup/enjoy your new ROM.
It seemed that with OmniROM I had lost root access so I had to reinstall SuperSU. I did this by downloading the flashable/installable zip - and flashing/installing it through the recovery.
In the end a did a full backup with the TWRP recovery and one with Titanium backup

For installing customs (CM/AOSP/GPe based ROM's), you don't need to install .230 firmware, furthermore you don't need root (except for backup TA procedure), furthermore you don't need XZDualRecovery (cause it works only for Stock and Custom STOCK based rom's - see this post).
So you you only need to flash kernel via fastboot, and then enter recovery (integrated in kernel), and install .zip with custom, SuperSU and Gapps from there.

hello i was following this guide but im stuck on status 7 error, i tried deleting assert but the twrp recovery dont get any answer to "getprop ro.product.device" and it just doesnt proceed...
and Rootk1t i cant find any kernels flashable via fastboot or flashtool can you point one to me? all of the kernels i see are in '.zip's .... i want to have android 6.0 so i think i should have black kernel but how?

[GUIDE][OSPREY] Moto G3 BEGIN: Unlock bootloader, Flash: TWRP, ROM, Root, Boot logo

Edited Dec 22 -2017 <-- I may not always change this, but this is a work in progress!
[GUIDE][OSPREY] Moto G3 2015 - BEGIN: How to Unlock bootloader, flash TWRP, flash ROM, flash Root, Flash boot logo.
I started this because while trying to explain it to a user I kept running in to old info.
Code:
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* This may destroy your phone. As with any modification to a phone,
* you must be prepared/willing to THROW IT AWAY without thinking twice.
* If you need it or it is your daily driver, don't mess with it.
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about the suggestions in this guide
* before following it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
This may well work on Merlin but I don't have one to test.
--> NOTE: I no longer use LineageOS so can't help there. Using AOSP 8. Should be no difference.
1a) Prep - before you do anything, in stock, go to settings/Development Options (which is turned on by tapping /settings/about phone/Build Number about 10 times.)
turn "OEM unlocking" ON
turn Debugging - "USB debugging" ON.
1b) Now! - To do anything, you must unlock your bootloader: This is done by going to the Motorola site and following their instructions completely.
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
They want you to "Install the Android SDK.". You only need adb and fastboot on your PC (windows or Linux).
Try this guide to get ADB and FASTBOOT onto your computer: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
For Ubuntu Linux simply type fastboot on the terminal and if it's missing a command will pop up as to how to add it - simple. same with adb.
ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS: a very helpful user suggested the following additional for unlock bootloader and getting adb and fastboot: @Dave here - see post 34ff.

Glad it was helpful! Happy to be able to give something back. Here are some links I used...

Click to collapse
2) Now that your phone is "bootloader unlocked" you will get an ugly screen on every bootup - we'll get to that in step 4.
- Now you must set up a custom recovery so you can back things up and change things. To do that you need to flash a recovery from your PC.
-> Follow squid2's guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/orig-development/twrp-twrp-moto-g-2015-t3170537
Hint - to get into fastboot mode on your Osprey, power off, THEN, hold power and vol-down for maybe 8 seconds until the fastboot screen pops up, Then connect USB cable phone to PC.
I recommend flashing his latest.
I also recommend doing it twice in a row, simply because once in a while that is needed.
3) okay, now you can boot into TWRP: power off, hold power and vol-down for a few secs until fastboot screen pops up. use vol-down to step through the options. Choose Recovery and press power to select. 10 secs later, you're in TWRP. If you get the dead android it means you still have the stock recovery - boot to fastboot and flash TWRP again.
IMMEDIATELY tap Backup and select to put backup on external storage - your SDcard. NOTE - if your SDcard has been converted to "internal storage" you will have to choose "internal storage" (em0). I did it twice. This is your stock ROM. YOU WILL NEED THIS LATER.
-- > For TWRP BACKUP I use the default settings of "system,data, and boot". Here is a nice article that explains the differences: https://twrp.me/faq/whattobackup.html .
At this point I recommend you boot back into stock and connect your phone to your PC via USB (slide down) and copy that backup in the TWRP folder to your PC. at least once, maybe twice, for safe keeping. You will need this if you wish to test if a problem exists only on a custom ROM but not on the stock ROM. You will also need this if you simply choose to run stock, instead of a custom ROM. Remember, you are now testing ROMs - nothing is certain!
4. Getting rid of the nasty boot message:
This has some nice ones: https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/themes-apps/bootlogo-beautiful-logos-t3229167
Grab the one(s) you like and download - they're in .zip format. Put it on SDcard. Boot to TWRP, tap install, choose the one you want to flash. Voila.
Be aware there are some sites out there with logos that don't work on Moto G3.
5. To flash a custom ROM: Download to PC and put it on your SD card. Do same for gapps. (gapps - g-apps - google apps allow you to log in to your google account, use play store, etc. example http://opengapps.org/ (use arm, 7.1, whatever size you wish)(if you're new use full, mini, or micro until you know what you need. If you're on a 1GB phone, consider nano or pico.) )
https://download.lineageos.org/osprey or whatever ROM you want.
http://opengapps.org/ or whatever gapps you want.
Boot to TWRP.
Clean flash:
tap WIPE,
tap advanced, carefully checkmark:
Dalvic/ARTCache,
System,
Data,
Cache,
and then swipe the bottom swipe button. Takes a few sec. This is what makes a "clean flash".
Generally: Don't wipe "internal storage" or SDcard as this is where TWRP stores its backups/nandroids. - I always copy my TWRP backups to PC for safety.
Then back to menu screen and tap Install, select the rom, and swipe and let it do its thing.
Then back and tap Install, select the gapps and swipe to flash it.
THEN, and only then: tap Reboot (if you're at the main menu you also have to tap System to boot from system.)
The install takes 3 min or so before it starts asking questions.
Be sure to choose "Set up as New" or else you get whatever junk is in your google drive. This has cost errors and much time. <-----
6. Root: If you want to use bank apps, PokemonGo, etc, follow these instructions for Magisk:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-pass-safetynet-custom-roms-t3603609
read the whole thread.
- Else go to https://download.chainfire.eu/1019
and download the zip form of Chainfire's SuperSU 2.79 and boot to TWRP and flash (install) it.
Many thanks to @acejavelin for inspiration and information(which I probably shamelessly stole from him), to @squid2 for his installation guide and his version of TWRP, to @Chainfire for the tons of work that continue to go into superSU, to @coolguy_16 for the safetynet/CTS work, and all the many Devs and helpers who make these ROMs possible, and as clean as they are! And to users like you who find bugs and file bug reports! Thank you!
Remember you are working with a Development ROM - a work in progress! (Even stock isn't perfect!!!)
Enjoy!

Thanks - hopefully it will help.

A factory reset is recommended. It wipes /data, /cache, ART cache as well as any remnant files in the internal and external storages, which are missed when manually wiping these partitions.
Wiping of /system is not always needed as the updater script of a ROM automatically wipes it before copying files. It is usually needed in case of updating ROMs where some persistent mods are needed to be removed such as gapps.
More on this here at TWRP FAQ.

Wiping of /system is not always needed as the updater script of a ROM automatically wipes it before copying files. It is usually needed in case of updating ROMs where some persistent mods are needed to be removed such as gapps.
More on this here at TWRP FAQ.

I thought this was true but found my gapps was remaining residual in system - had to clear system to get rid of gapps.

Yes you are correct, gapps won't get removed for new builds of the same ROM due to a persistent ROM script. However flashing a ROM different than the one currently installed usually ignores such scripts and does a clean wipe. Doing a manual wipe just to be sure is fine, even needed sometimes.
I just wanted to point out that not performing a factory reset (twrp>wipe>swipe to factory reset) can leave potential conflicting files in aforementioned places which can cause unexpected behaviours ranging from FCs to bootloop. The potential issues are rare but I think you know how much trouble it can bring to folks trying to capture real bugs (thanks for hard work at Linage ); it was all about removing the potential factors .

The TWRP wipe-swipe does Data, Cache, and Dalvic. That's what I used to do. After messing up some tests this past week and wasting a lot of time, I now recommend adding system to that:
In advanced, checking data, cache, and dalvic/ARTcache, and, now, system. as far as i can see, I am leaving nothing other than internal storage and sd card (and of course whatever is in OTG if there's one attached). TBPro puts its backups on "internal storage". By the way I do appreciate your taking the time to look so closely at this!

[GUIDE]
6. Root: Go to http://www.theandroidsoul.com/supersu-2-79-zip-apk-download/
and download the zip form of Chainfire's SuperSU 2.79 . Use it in step5 above.
NOTES: this has nothing to do with rooting your stock ROM which afaik can't be done.

To root stock ROM with SuperSU, you need to open a terminal in TWRP and type
Code:
echo "SYSTEMLESS=true" > /data/.supersu
This forces a systemless installation.
Edit: Not necessary anymore, just flash SuperSU zip and you're done
MagiskSU is an alternative to SuperSU and similar apps that hides root (to SafetyNet), so it's better to use that with stock ROM. It is also pre-installed on some ROMs like AICP.
If you're using LineageOS, it's best to use the official root package: https://download.lineageos.org/extras (direct link).

a) I have seen that but not tried it. I did add a note so you're now the authority!
b) not since SuperSU 2.79 - Those were invented because earlier SuperSUs had probs. I've been flashing 2.79 for a while now with no problems on Lineage.
Thanks for looking in!

SuperSU 2.79 "General Release" was the version of the change, anything prior needed the forced systemless command, all 2.79 or later versions include the correct check to flash on most Moto devices without the command. Using the echo command to create the file has no detrimental effects on later versions though. Note that using https://download.chainfire.eu/supersu/ as your download link will always get you the most current stable version of SuperSU available directly from the official source.
Magisk is the way to go to root most stock devices though, I would definitely agree with that.

Huge thanks for that!!! Changed above post.
Never played with Magisk - others (you!) are the authority on that. I think some were saying that was a way to get a custom rom to pass safteynet... Thanks!
Huge thanks for looking in!!!

[Repository][XT907] Stock Firmware and Custom ROMs from 4.1.1 to 7.1 [SEPT 2017]

Hello! I spent a while researching and learning about my XT907. I absolutely love this phone and I am in love with Android 4.4, but I was also keen to try other versions. So I gathered everything you need to flash ANY Android custom ROM and or Stock Firmware to your XT907.
There are (or were. I'll explain below) several custom ROMs for this device, most of which were built for phones with a Jellybean 4.1 bootloader, IF it's unlocked. In the case of this device, if you didn't unlock it before June of 2014, then your bootloader is likely still locked which means you can't put any custom ROMs on it
There is still light at the end of the tunnel though. You can pay 'Sunshine S-Off' US$25 to unlock the bootloader for you. You can still be rooted to use their app, but if you have Xposed framework installed, you'll have to uninstall it first. They accept many different types of payment, including Bitcoin! However if you don't want to spend the money, the XT907 CAN BE ROOTED! Simply download and install the latest version of KingRoot then go here and follow the steps to replace it with SuperSU.
When it comes to restoring your firmware back to stock (in case you brick your phone), @sd_shadow and his list of phone saving tutorials is the place to go. If you want a custom ROM, see below
Over the last few years, it's become incredibly hard, almost impossible, to find everything you need to flash a custom ROM to your XT907, including the ROM itself. This becomes more the case with older versions of Android. Today, that has come to an end. I've spent the better part of a week or so gathering every single file you need to flash firmware or every custom ROM version from Android 4.1.2 to 7.1. Just go to the Google Drive link posted below, click/tap on XT907, and there you go. Everything is placed in it's own set of folders, with the exception of optional APKs. You can get detailed installation instructions at the respective links below.

[Tutorial] Flashing CM 12.1 custom ROM (Lollipop 5.1), SuperSU and Xposed Framework
***REQUIRES UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER***
If you don't want to downgrade your XT907 to a JBBL (Jellybean bootloader) then follow the tutorial below to flash the CyanogenMod 12.1 (Lollipop 5.1) custom ROM, SuperSU and install Xposed Framework onto your UNLOCKED XT907. This is for the KitKat BOOTLOADER ONLY.
WARNING: I am not responsible for any damage you may cause to your device and or other individuals. Use this guide AT YOUR OWN RISK.
1) Please download the appropriate folder labeled 5.1-Android-CM12.1-KKBL from my Google Drive link.
2) Make sure to have the appropriate Motorola and ADB drivers installed or this will not work.
3) Power off your phone.
4) Now press and hold, all at the same time, volume down + volume up + power button for 5 seconds. Release the power button first and 2 seconds later, release the volume buttons.
5) You should now be in your recovery screen. Use the volume down button to navigate to AP fastboot and press volume up to select it.
6) Now plug your phone into your PC. Make sure to have a good cable.
7) Now open the folder you just downloaded from Google Drive. Extract the file named TWRP-KKBL-XT907.zip to the same folder, or your desktop (whatever is easy for you).
8) Open the folder you just unzipped and place the file 'recovery.img' in the same folder as ADB.
9) Open an ADB command window (right click on your opened ADB folder and select 'open command window here') and type fastboot devices. This will show you if your device is properly connected. If you see a serial number and the word 'device' next to it, continue to the next step.
10) Now it's time to install a custom recovery. Type in the following code below. Make sure you placed the recovery.img into your ADB folder.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
11) You will see about 3 lines of errors. Just ignore them. When the process is complete (you'll know it's done when you see something like C:\) type the following line below:
Code:
fastboot reboot
12) Please keep your phone plugged in. When it's finished rebooting, in the ADB window type:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
13) If all goes well, you should have TWRP custom recovery properly installed on your XT907. You will see a list of several things. Now we are going to flash CM 12.1 to your device. Keeping your phone plugged in, you should be able to freely move files while in TWRP recovery. On your desktop PC click: start > computer > XT907 > Double click internal storage. (NOTE: If you can't move files in recovery, reboot normally and place the files into your device's internal storage manually as described below).
14) Go back to the folder you downloaded earlier and copy the file labeled cm-12.1-20160822-NIGHTLY-xt907.zip. Paste it into the INTERNAL STORAGE of your device. DO NOT place it in any other folder or directory. Again go back to the folder you downloaded earlier and copy the file labeled open_gapps-arm-5.1-nano-20170830.zip. Also paste it into your phone's internal storage (the same place as the CM file).
15) Now on your phone, from TWRP recovery main screen, tap 'wipe'. Now look at the bottom where the arrows are. It should say 'swipe to factory reset.' Please swipe the button. When it's finished, go back to the TWRP home screen and tap 'install'. Navigate to where you placed the CM12.1 file and select it. Now tap 'Add more zips' on the screen near the bottom left. Navigate to the open_gaaps file and select it. Look at the top of the screen and it should say you have '2 of max of 10 files queued'. If so find the arrows at the bottom where it says 'swipe to confirm flash'. Go ahead and swipe it.
16) When the process is finished (it might take a minute or two), from the TWRP home screen, tap 'Reboot' and select 'System'. Your phone will reboot. The reboot process can and usually will take SEVERAL minutes to complete the first time. During the reboot process, DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR PHONE or attempt to reset it. Just let it go about it's business. In about 5-8 minutes you should have booted to your new custom CyanogenMod 12.1 (Lollipop 5.1.1). Go ahead and continue with the setup process.
Flashing SuperSU and installing Xposed Framework
1) When done with your general setup, navigate to the folder you downloaded from Google Drive earlier. Copy the file labeled SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip and paste it into the internal storage of your device (The same place as before). If you've been successful up to this point, you can delete the other zip files you added to your device earlier.
2) Use ADB to reboot to recovery. From TWRP home screen tap install and navigate to the SuperSU zip file you just added and select it. Now go down to the arrows at the bottom and please 'swipe to confirm flash'. When the steps have completed, go back to TWRP home screen and tap reboot then system. SuperSU (Super User) is now flashed to your system and you are now ROOTED. With Wifi on, you can go to the Google Play Store and download the updated SuperSU app. When installed, open it and it will ask you to update the binary. Please install using the 'normal' method. If successful, allow SuperSU to reboot your device.
3) If you would like to install the Xposed Framework onto your phone, you can follow the guide here. Also available at the link are the files to install Xposed. You can also use the ones I provided inside the folder you downloaded from Google Drive earlier. They are the same files as in the guide linked in this step.
If you have any trouble or if I missed a step, please post comments. Also post success stories so I know I did something good!
