Wifi just quit working, Motorola not helping - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK guys. You are my last hope!
My phone recently stopped detecting wifi networks at all. I've tried to determine what caused it. Tried everything except doing a factory reset.
Then, I called Motorola, and they suggested that very thing. So I tried it. Only problem was that I have TWRP custom recovery installed. My bootloader is unlocked btw. So it went into a bootloop, until I forced it to shutdown and do a normal restart. So factory reset wont work with custom. Lesson learned!
So, I thought that I would use the official factory image (https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/session/L3RpbWUvMTQ3NDgzMDIyNy9zaWQvUEpTQnd4X20%3D) I got from Motorola a while back. But the instructions were confusing. When that's the case. I usually try and find a second guide that makes it clearer.
So I called Motorola again, asking how to go about flashing the image from fastboot. They said I don't have a developers version of the X Pure Edition! The website doesn't make it clear at all that there's 2 versions of the device (XT1575). Which is total BS. How was I supposed to know? Also he said that unlocking my bootloader voided my warranty. So they wont fix it either!
This is why you guys are my last hope!
Not sure what to try from here. I don't think I'll ever get my wifi working again. But would really like to try.

Back up anything you don't want to lose. Boot into TWRP and click wipe. Click 'Format Data'. Once that's done, click on wipe again, then advanced wipe, and select both Cache and ART/Dalvik Cache (and data/internal storage, if you like) and wipe them as well. Reboot. That's how you factory reset with TWRP, for future reference. As for you stock flashing question, see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/pure-firmware-tuff-wip-t3224833 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZZy1NvRyOc
There may be a Flash All script in your firmware package which does the heavy lifting for you. Simply extract the files and run the included BAT file. If not, or if you feel like getting your hands dirty, take a look at the 'Useful Commands' section in the thread I linked. Each command corresponds to a file in the firmware package you'll download from Motorola. Flash them one-by-one in the order listed in the thread. Make sure your command prompt is in the directory of the extracted files, or you'll get a file not found error. If you get an error flashing partition gpt.bin, ignore it. Happy flashing.

Odd that a factory reset didn't work with TWRP, it should... All other does is create an Openrecovery script that wipes data and cache, I can't explain why it didn't work.
Although the factory firmware may contain a flashall script, I suggest doing each piece manually via fastboot.
For future reference, the best way to fix the problem you had is to try this first: go to Settings, Backup & Reset, then do a Network Settings Reset, this often fixes WiFi problems.

Thanks guys! I will look into what you said. Then report back.
Well the network settings reset solved nothing. Guess it'd the hard way now

Please help, possible bricked phone???

Hey guys so my phone appears to me to be bricked. I have a rooted angler on stock 7.0.0 (NBD90X, Oct 2016). I have ElementalX kernal.
A few weeks ago I was looking in to putting on MultiROM. After I flashed the custom TWRP recovery for MultiROM, the recovery wouldn't work. It just goes to the TWRP blue startup screen and freezes. I have been procrastinating on flashing a functioning recovery ever since. I know, I'm an idiot. Lesson learned. Well the November security update was pushed to my phone a few days ago. I ignored it. Last night I wanted to see if the update included 7.1 or if it was just security update, so I tapped on the update notification and it automatically downloaded the updates without prompt (which I did not want to do.)
Well an hour later my phone died. When I plugged in to the charger, it immediatly started up by itself and booted to the non-functioning recovery and froze. It does this every time I try to boot the device now. I booted in to the bootloader and tried plugging in to my PC to flash a working recovery, but the device will not get picked up by the PC anymore. I don't believe it's a driver issue I use adb all the time with this same device and pc.
Also want to add, factory reset from bootloader went to google startup animation, but then just shut off as soon as it was done. Also, when I select shutdown from bootloader with it plugged in to charger, it will turn off and stay off but does not appear to be charging in any way.
Well that's the backstory. Any help you all can provide is very much appreciated. Turns out the battery in my backup phone is only good for a couple hours anymore. You all know how helpless we are without our phones, ha! Please help! Is it bricked?
I'm confused. How did you factory reset from the bootloader? That's done from recovery. Also, when in the bootloader you use fastboot, not ADB. ADB is not used from the bootloader. Only while booted into android or from recovery.
Use fastboot to flash factory images and you should be Okay.

I meant to say fastboot. Thanks for the clarification. When in the bootloader, scrolling through the options with volume rocker is a "factory" option. I assumed it meant factory reset?

Never messed with that so I'm not sure. Since your bootloader is unlocked just download and install what you need. Start by downloading and flashing TWRP. In the 6P original development section, find the thread and search it for 3.0.2-3. It's an unofficial version that fixes the issues since (-1). After you flash that boot into it and go to 'Wipe' > Factory reset. You can also do 'Wipe' > Advanced and select system, data, cache & dalvik. Do not select internal storage. After that download a factory image zip. Extract it and flash the bootloader and radio images from fastboot. Now extract the 2nd zip inside of the 1st one and in that folder you'll find system.img, boot.img, vendor.img, cache.img, recovery.img & userdata.img.
Flash those with the exceptions of userdata.img, cache.img & recovery.img. No need to flash recovery if you plan on keeping TWRP. Cache was taken care of from TWRP in the previous step and flashing userdata will wipe your internal storage. Plus you don't want to flash that anyways if your storage is more than 32gb. Refer to Heisenberg's guide for more info.
Edit: If you can boot to bootloader your device should be read with 'fastboot devices' - if it isn't, delete any Android / Nexus / Google drivers. **Reboot your PC** and install them again. After you install them again reboot your PC one more time and try again.

I can't get the PC/fastboot to recognize the device. I've never had a problem getting my pc to pick it up before. I even reinstalled the drivers.

How are you installing them? Using a toolkit? If so, stop and use the instructions in this thread. You shouldn't have any issues. Make sure you're rebooting your PC after deleting all Android / Nexus / Google drivers before installing them again. Install using the guide and reboot again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928/page508
Edit/addition: Toolkits often use outdated or incomplete ADB/fastboot drivers. Always always always use the Android SDK to install them. That way you will always have the latest versions. If you ever have issues detecting your phone, just open the SDK and check for updates.

Okay so I left the phone on the charger with the frozen screen in twrp multirom edition. After that rebooted in to the bootloader. I then selected the factory option. If loaded the google animation like before, but this time actually booted up the system. The notification bar had two diagnostic tools that said tap to run...one was called sims i think? Anyways I held power button and did a hard reboot. It booted up fine. I then used twrp manager to install 3.0.2.2....then i used fastboot to flash 3.0.2.3 that i had a copy of. Things seem to be working fine now. Close call. I'm not sure what the factory option is in the bootloader, but it's not factory reset and it was the only way I could boot. I think the phone was trying to boot to recovery to install the latest updates and I had to boot to factory to get it out of "update mode," if you will...
Does anyone know what the factory option is in the bootloader?
Thanks for your help RoyJ

Factory options is meant to restart the system with some manufacturers apps available just so you can test certain functions of the phone, mostly to see if all sensors and hardware are working properly.

Need Help Restoring Rom. WILLING TO PAY CASH!

I tried to update to the latest pure nexus rom and ended up in a boot loop. I think i still have my data on my phone and would like to get my phone working without loosing it. I cant do anything in TWRP because i cant get past the password, so I'm hoping i can flash a rom while in the bootloader and get into the phone so i can backup my data and fix it. I made a twrp backup prior to this, but i cant get to it without the twrp password. I've tried default_password and password with no luck. I'm happy to pay someone to login to my computer and fix the phone or I can meet someone it south Florida.
Thanks for the help.
Go to Google's factory images and download the one that matches the software you had installed. Manually flash the system and boot images to your phone. Also wipe the cache for good measure.

I took some inspiration a while back from the old Nexus 5 Dead or Alive recovery script, and rewrote it for the 6P.
I've also updated the images in it to reflect the latest(7.1.1) for the 6P as well.
Just run the script with your phone plugged in, and in the bootloader. Even if the device won't boot properly, this script tries to force it into the bootloader and recover. It will wipe all user data, but the phone will be in exact factory condition when it completes!

I got the phone booted with pure nexus but lost all my data, all well.

Moto x pure XT1575 What am i doing wrong?!

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?

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.

Need Help; My LG G6 (H870) keeps booting in TWRP and I can't install stock ROM

Hi,
I unlocked the bootloader of my H870, installed TWRP 3.1.1.0 and SUPERSU. Everything was working great untill I decided to restore my system defaults to make a fresh start with my G6. After choosing the option to restore system defaults, my phone rebooted and it booted into TWRP. I rebooted my phone and it kept doing this all the time.
I decided to look for a stock ROM and flash that ROM.
I succesfully flashed the "LG-H87010f-Flashable.COMPLETE.zip" ROM (from autoprime's post) trough TWRP. But this did not work. I even wiped all the data from my phone (even system) and flashed the ROM again; still nothing.
Before having this issue, I had the same Baseband version, Kernel version, Build number. Only the dates and the Software Version are different.
I had the V10b-EUR-XX Software Version installed on my phone. I see this is the 10f version. I guess this should not be a problem right?
After this I took these steps solve this issue:
1. Downloaded new LG Mobile Drivers (LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0)
2. Downloaded and installed LGUP. LGUP doesnt recognize my phone as a LG G6 and this method did not work for that reason.
Fastboot mode is working on my phone; I can reboot my phone trough the commandline on my PC and things like that . However, my PC is not recognizing my phone as a LG G6 device in Fastboot mode.
My PC recognices my phone as a H870 when in TWRP. In Fastboot mode it recognices my phone as Android Device.
3. Installed LG Bridge for more drivers; did not work either
4. Downloaded Uppercut, but it doenst work without LGUP.
4. Looked all over the internet to find a Stock ROM in .zip or .img format; found nothing
5. Downloaded WindowsLGFirmwareExtract-1.2.6.1 and tried to extract the H87010d_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0327.kdz file. I extracted it into .bin files, but they were not usable. After that, I combined these .bin files into a system.img file. But that .img file was bigger then 5 GB and for that reason it was not usable to flash trough Fastboot or TWRP.
7. Looked for other methods to obtain a H870 Stock Rom, including another extraction method, but I cant figure out how to do this.
I have spend countless hours on this problem, but I cant find an usable H870 stock rom to flash my phone with.
Is there someone that can help me out with this problem? Im willing to donate some € if someone helps me to get my phone working again.
Really hoping for a kind person to help me out and provide me solution for this issue.
Thanks in advance
Try formating data in TWRP(not factory reset) then flash the 10f complete zip. Trying to perform a factory reset from within Android could have possibly messed up your data (due to TWRP being installed instead of stock recovery) so a full data format is needed.
Lgup most likely doesn't detect the phone because you wiped system. But flashing the complete zip should have restored system.
In the future make backups in TWRP to restore later.. or flash a kdz with lg bridge or lgup without wiping system first.

Thanks for your reply. I have already formatted data in TWRP, but im still having this problem . It seems like something is preventing my device from starting up. I have flashed several ROMS on other devices, but never experienced something like this. Is there something else I can try? Can I flash the stock recovery and flash the stock ROM? I got the feeling TWRP is causing this issue.
If its possible to flash stock recovery, where can I find it?

Flash the complete zip then boot into download mode and flash kdz. Lgup should see the device as a g6 now instead of unknown device. If lgup isn't seeing any device at all (including unknown device) then your setup is off.. missing drivers or something. If that doesn't work.. idk.

In the future make backups in TWRP to restore later.. or flash a kdz with lg bridge or lgup without wiping system first.

Don't factory reset using the in phone option. You can only do this through twrp's option. To fix this you'll need to boot through the hard side, using power and volume down until the lg logo appears then release power for 1 sec and then repress keeping volume down pressed. Confirm yes twice on the white screens to get to twrp. Once in twrp then reset again and reflash the system. Then using twrps img installer flash your twrp img(make sure it is on ext sd) again. Then reboot.

Ohhh F*** YEAHH!!! :victory: Booting the "hard side" fixed the problem!! It was the first thing I tried this morning. I just booted this way and rebooted my phone without resetting or flashing anything. Im so damn happy lol. I still dont understand what happened and why my device was actling like this. But I learned a hard lesson; backup, backup and once again: BACKUP. And dont Factory reset in Android!
Thanks a lot for your help guys! I really apreciate it! :victory::victory:

Flash the complete zip then boot into download mode and flash kdz. Lgup should see the device as a g6 now instead of unknown device. If lgup isn't seeing any device at all (including unknown device) then your setup is off.. missing drivers or something. If that doesn't work.. idk.

Thanks a lot for taking your time to help me out. The combination of your ROM/tips and Swizzle82's tip made me fix my phone. You're the man! :victory:

Thanks for your reply. I have already formatted data in TWRP, but im still having this problem . It seems like something is preventing my device from starting up. I have flashed several ROMS on other devices, but never experienced something like this. Is there something else I can try? Can I flash the stock recovery and flash the stock ROM? I got the feeling TWRP is causing this issue.
If its possible to flash stock recovery, where can I find it?

Probably because you already did all the flashing prior to. Glad it worked. This happened when I first got my V20 and was stoned not thinking. I reset using the in phone option and it caused twrp bootloop. I too learned the hard way.
Had the same issue, fixed it, thanks.
My phone kept doing this booting into recovery no mattery what ROM I installed.
I got into twrp by holding volume down and selecting yes on next 2 white screens....but now this message appears all the time.
please can someone help??
Here is message:

Flash a firmware trough LGUp, or flash again the last TWRP available trough fastboot.

Great tip @Swizzle82! It allowed me to restore my LG G6 after bootloop. It had not been detected by PC, and this hardware reset helped!
Hi, all
If I understand, and to sum up :
I rooted my LG-G6 few weeks ago, and intall TWRP. When OTA wants to install official update, the reboot stops in TWRP mod, so ... failed :-/
Is the solution to flash through Uppercut/LGUP with a .kdz file, without risk of brick the phone ?
Thx

Cannot get my Moto X Pure 2015 to do much of anything!

Hello everyone.
Today I decided to wipe my phone and install NucleaRom on it. Everything ran well for a few hours but eventually the device froze, so I rebooted into the bootloader and then into recovery to wipe and restore my backup. The problem is, when the phone tries to wipe the data partition it reboots back into the bootloader.
At this point, I cannot wipe the phone, restore a backup, or reinstall NucleaRom. I just want to get back to stock rooted 7.0, which is how it was yesterday.
Can anyone help me figure this out? I do not have a backup phone and am pretty desperate at this point!
I tried to reflash the stock NPH25.200-22 image using fastboot but I start getting errors and the phone freezes on the bootloader screen. Just completely puzzled! I've been tinkering with Android phones since 2010 and have never run into something this bad before.
I think your problem might be caused by how f2fs is implemented in unofficial TWRP and NucleaROM. It does something to the data partition that doesn't always play nice.
Warning, what I suggest here is going to format your whole data partition. If there's anything on it you'd like to keep, I'd suggest backing it up with TWRPs built-in file manager or over USB to a computer before attempting this.
If I were in your situation, here's what I'd try:
1) Download the latest official TWRP
2) Flash it with fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
3) Don't reboot normally. Use the volume rocker to select recovery and boot into it.
4) In TWRP select Wipe -> Advanced Wipe
5) Tick the Data box and then hit Repair or Change Filesystem
6) Select Change Filesystem
7) Select F2FS and let it format data
8) Reboot to bootloader and fastboot flash the full firmware package you were trying to. If you were already on that firmware or higher it is normal for bootloader and gpt.bin to fail, you can ignore those errors. Make sure every other step exits successfully, if not then repeat the step.
9) Reboot to system and cross your fingers
I'm not certain this will fix your problem, but if your phone is already non-booting, it isn't going to make it worse.

Thank you for the suggestion! I made the attempt but once my phone tries to format the data partition, it vibrates for about 5 seconds and then reboots back to the bootloader. It has been doing this yesterday every time I would try it. Do you have any suggestions as to why this is, and how to correct it?
I've pretty much given up hope at this point and was going to order a new phone. But it would be nice to get this back in working order so I can resell it or trade it in for a discounted price. The phone has been really good to me over the years and, besides a slightly worn down battery, still works fairly well. Hate to see it turn into a paper-weight when the hardware is still working!
EDIT: Tried the same thing, but this time using ext4 and it worked! Going to try and manually flash the firmware and see what happens!

Did you format with the latest official TWRP or the unofficial version of TWRP linked to the NucleaROM OP? There are differences. If one isn't working, try the other. I think it is just a matter of finding the right TWRP version to work with your data partition and reformatting it to fix it. I've also seen formatting it to ext4, then formatting it back to f2fs as a suggested fix for this.
If you just want to try different TWRP versions without constantly flashing new recoveries you can just boot into an image without actually flashing it with fastboot:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Others have had this problem of not being able to wipe before and solved it. Don't give up. I think you'll find the answer you're after in the official LOS thread or possibly the TWRP thread, but unfortunately with forums there's a lot of noise and the information is quite disjointed.
I've steered clear of the nougat firmware and rebased custom roms myself because it still seems to be in somewhat of a state of flux, so I don't have any firsthand experience with this.

I used the TWRP that you had linked me. Formatted using ext4 and then tried flashing the files manually with fastboot. My phone is now back to normal!
