So I just noticed there's a new TWRP build up for us! Just thought I'd throw this out there, not sure what's different.
https://dl.twrp.me/shamu/
the only change is "Bring back /misc"
you should update if you are using cm14.1, cmupdater can cause bootloop with twrp 3.0.2.0 or older

I was struggling with this this morning. I was stuck in Recovery but managed to get back into System by doing a Reboot Bootloader, then Start. Then I downloaded the new TWRP and flashed it, all is well now. Would have been easier if I had access to a computer this morning.

Read several posts about bad download. Before flashing check the size of TWRP version 3.0.2.1. The file size is 11,3 Mb.

Put phone into bootloader mode. Hold shift and right click to "Open command window here" where you have ADB and your TWRP file (assuming Windows PC). Type "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-1-shamu.img". Easier, quicker, and potentially safer IMO.

That's the most basic method, but with the app FlashFire you don't need a PC.

Depending on version you don't even need FlashFire. TWRP can flash the updated image.

In this case not possible, because the flashed version of TWRP-recovery was corrupt.

That's imaginable, because I had to edit the post.
I have made a mistake; didn't check the file size. After reboot to recovery, I noticed that a corrupt IMG was flashed.

Version 3.0.3-0 available see next post.

What's new:
https://www.xda-developers.com/twrp...-support-for-adb-backup-ab-ota-zips-and-more/
Installed version 3.1.0-0. With all the changes themes need to be reworked. Also, there are rumblings in the XDA article discussion thread that Aroma does not work on this recovery. I'll have to check that.
EDIT: Aroma working perfectly here, as far as I can tell.

I flashed it the same way you flash any image:
Fastboot flash recovery <recovery>.img
If your zips are made from the images then i doubt they will work. Plus, I dont have a recovery to flash them in.
Anyway the Photon Q recovery worked for one reboot then it was somehow overridden by the stock recovery. In other words: I flashed the Photon Q recovery via Rom Manager > rebooted into recovery via Rom Manager > from recovery, booted normally > rebooted into recovery and found it had reverted to the stock one.
The N7 originally had this issue. Ill look into how they fixed it. Found it...
You simply navigate to /system and delete or rename the file named: recovery-from-boot.p. Once you do that, reboot to download mode (fastboot) and flash the recovery like normal. Then reboot into recovery.
Upon exiting the recovery (OUDhs) it noticed that the system would potentially overwrite the recovery so it asked it i would like to disable it. I selected 'yes' as I obviously want to retain the custom recovery.

When on stock always choose yes on reboot. To let cwmr make "install-recovery.sh" into ....bak.
Yet once on a custom rom- choose any no.

So both the img file & Rom Manager may be working for you?

During setup what recovery did you choose?
Was it Photon Q?
Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I wouldn't trust ROM Manager to properly flash a recovery on my phone after picking a different device.
Doing it with fastboot takes about 5 secs anyway.
I don't even remember I'm pretty certain it automatically said my device wasn't supported. I wouldn't have chosen a different model.

To install, you will need to be on the latest OTA (camera update).
Fastboot flash the original system.img and recovery,img
You can then use the volume down key to select "Recovery"
Once in recovery, press the power button and volume buttons together to bring up the menu,and select "Install from SDcard"
You can then select the OTA, and install it. Your phone will reboot, and you will have to do this again from the new recovery. You should then be able to reboot system and have your new 4.4 Kitkat Moto X!

You don't need boot.img in either. Now, I don't know how the dev ed works, maybe it's just the exact same with an unlocked bootloader, so let me know how installing goes.

Put the zip in internal storage. Go into stock recovery, install zip, choose this update zip. Because one of the first things it does it flash a new recovery, you have to go into recovery again and install zip again (the second time around it knows it doesn't have to flash the recovery).
Of course, since this way uses stock recovery, you have to be running stock.

Yes, you're going to lose root (the update will wipe out System). If you have an unlocked bootloader then it isn't a big deal -- just re-root after the update.
BUT don't try to flash this update with twrp installed. 1) I'm pretty sure it won't work anyway b/c it needs to verify that your System is stock and, at the very least, installing twrp changes the install-recovery script which is in System 2) this .zip file is made to be flashed from a stock recovery, so I'm not sure it would work 3) as I said before, part of this update is a new recovery - I'm not sure how well the process would go if you started from twrp
And how would I root after its done

I'm sorry, I've been assuming you have a Dev edition b/c you said you had twrp -- is that not the case? If you do NOT have a dev edition and you rooted via pwn- or rock- or whatever its called myMoto then NO, you will NOT be able to root after the update until someone releases another hack

I cannot flash this in TWRP right?
So I flashed the 7.1.1 update and everything was fine. I then tried to root through TWRP with the most recent version of recovery and and SuperSu and when I went to reboot it would get to the "Google" splash screen and go back to the warning. I then tried to restore to my Nandroid that I made right before the 7.1.1 flash but it does the same thing. I ended up doing a factory reset, still looping. I tried flashing an old firmware but it still would loop. I got desperate and did a full wipe and then flashed the old firmware from September's update but it still will not boot. I'm a long time lurker I just don't post much. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Well if you cant access twrp then your not flashing anything; did you try downloading the latest Nexus 6p factory image and using adb to flash it??

Make sure your using twrp 3.0.2-2; and download the latest factory image for the Nexus 6p (NBD90X) and use adb (fastboot) to flash that whole thing.

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

Hi guys,
I have a honor 6 plus (PE-TL10), it was running EMUI 4. I flashed TWRP 2.8.7 and then wiped all partitions through it(cust,system,etc) then flashed stock recovery back, now i am trying to install EMUI 4.0.1(Android 6.0) via 3 buttons Huawei update but it stops at 5% and fails. Can you guys provide me with any help, I really need it.
Also now when i am trying to wipe data thru stock recovery i get an weird error message at almost 25% saying "reset balong modem setting fail", which making it more difficult to get back stock rom.
Just last question; the Unbrick option in the "HONOR_6_and_6Plus_Multi-Tool", wil it restore the device to stock rom and fully functional state after that or it will miss some parts of the stock rom ?
Many thanks and regards

For you to restore to stock you need to flash boot, recovery, system and cust.
Make sure you have stock boot and recovery to for forced update (3 buttons).
What happens in most of the cases is boot and recovery files are corrupt.
I would try the unbrick of the Multitool. If it fails, I would flash manually all img files for each partition. But using the same firmware version as the last installed one.
Post your results and I will try to help.
1:Extract the ROM with huawei update extractor
2:download latest minimal adb and fastboot drivers and install them
3ut the extracted system.img,recovery.img,cust.img,boot.img and userdata.img into the fastboot.exe folder
4: boot into the fastboot mode
And finally flash the above mentioned imgs one by one with this command
fastboot flash XXX XXX.img
After flashing files type
Fastboot reboot
and every thing should be fine again

Thank you for answering, I did used Huawei MultiTool and Unbricked my device. I flashed four img files(SYSTEM,CUST,RECOVERY,BOOT) and now i am back to stock rom and running smoothly.
I tried to use force update feature on my device after that but again i got the same result, it stopped at 5% and failed. I guess i will keep it the way it's now.

Thank you, I did that except for userdata.img file, the Huawei MultiTool only mentioned 4 files(system,recovery,boot,cust). Now my device is running back again on stock rom. Should I flash userdata.img file or is it ok?
Just a question that i keep asking myself; inside the stock update.app file there are 22 img files, what do they do? I only flashed four of them so what purpose do the rest serve as? if the device can operate fully functional with four of them!

Thank you, I did that except for userdata.img file, the Huawei MultiTool only mentioned 4 files(system,recovery,boot,cust). Now my device is running back again on stock rom. Should I flash userdata.img file or is it ok?
Just a question that i keep asking myself; inside the stock update.app file there are 22 img files, what do they do? I only flashed four of them so what purpose do the rest serve as? if the device can operate fully functional with four of them!
Many thanks,

Don't use any other img file. And don't flash userdata.
If it works, don't change it. ?
Got similar issue on my honor 6. Can't update via SD card method or 3 button after leaving developer preview. Not even OTA updates install. All fail at 5%. So I'm stuck on B830 for now. Will try for a solution later.

I've installed several versions of 6.0 via fastboot. Same thing. I just get stuck on that version. Can't even reinstall same version.

None. Just errors in software update/upgrade. Right now I'm looking into testing different stock recoveries.

There's no other solution, either stock img files or some sort of transitional package.

Stock is a no go for me. I'll try transition package next. Maybe only just the recovery. Might work for the OP as well.

Same issue with me as well please help me in this case.

For you to restore to stock you need to flash boot, recovery, system and cust.
Make sure you have stock boot and recovery to for forced update (3 buttons).
What happens in most of the cases is boot and recovery files are corrupt.
I would try the unbrick of the Multitool. If it fails, I would flash manually all img files for each partition. But using the same firmware version as the lasthttps://cdn-cf-3.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/frown.gif installed one.
Post your results and I will try to help.

After doing the root method located here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/instruction-to-root-h918-10i-t3536472 my phone only boots into twrp and only has the twrp file on it. When i try to reboot into system it just sends me right back into twrp. I have no idea how that happened and i might of done the impossible but, is there any way to fix it? It's a T-Mobile 10j V20
Update: Tried installing therom from: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-maximum-ovrdrive-lg-v20-v2-0-t3518475 and yet it still only shows twrp folder and wont boot to the start screen

Yeah, MEGAROM wise it will take you into aroma installer which you can choose exactly what you want, like you can chose to flash magisk or supersu, lg sounds or pixel etc... Of everything else fails then just grab kdz file and flash through lg up

That is awesome! I hope it finally works and lets me see that beautiful start screen
It did not, and LGUP isnt working with a Failed to load error (5)
sounds like ur in a twrp loop.. are you checking to see if system is getting mounted in twrp?
there are a few ways to fix a twrp loop, try booting into recovery using the vol down method, and see if just hitting reboot works,
if not, fastboot commands that address this would be fastboot erase etc; fastboot erase misc ; fastboot erase fota ; and then reboot and see if it boots.
be aware boot up times take a lot longer then usual when you root, as the aboot is a little slower.
you could also try the twrp file manager route and delete the above directories also, etc/misc/fota/cache
if you have never done a FORMAT data with twrp you need to do that 1st and remove encryption as the stock rom is encrypted and will not boot after root.
Wipe using format data, type yes, then wipe the directories i mentioned and then flash the stock rom mentioned by the other member then reboot and let it sit for 15min. If it dosn't instantly shoot you back to twrp then ur good, just wait wait wait for that long 1st boot to complete.
