I have TWRP installed and the phone is completely wiped. I have installed the OK1 tar via odin. When i go to flash any TW Rom i get a recurring loop. The phone boots but the rom does not boot. I have tried an array of roms and have failed to have one load.
My steps:
Format using the option given in TWRP
Wipe every thing except my micro sd
Flash ( Any rom) and clear both caches
Reboot to system
Watch in despair as phone keeps booting.
The phone boots perfectly when I odin. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advanced
It's a kernel problem. Which roms in specific did you flash?
I flashed all of your Stock Zips and the Hybrid X roms
Can you please give me step by step instructions for what to do. Thank you very much
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.
So I got my 6GB/64GB x720 yesterday. It had Google Play Store already installed (ordered it from HonorBuy) and asked me to install a 7MB OTA, so it seems it had a recent version of EUI on it. My idea was to put LineageOS 14.1 on it or if it wasn't stable enough for me, at least a debloated and rooted stock. So searched XDA and followed this HowTo. No Errors, flashboot oem device-info said, bootloader unlocked, perfekt. Installed TWRP, downloaded recent LineageOS and followed the guides to flash (wipe, ...). Unfortunately flashing never finished, I always had a full progress-bar and it stayed there without doing anything (ok, the device got hot). Thinking of a broken download, I redownloaded the ROM but same problem. So I started downloading other ROMs from XDA: Resurection Remix and OmniROM. Flashing-process went thru, but couldn't flash gapps and ROMs didn't boot at all. I was always only getting to the LeEco-Bootlogo with the chinese writings. So next thought was, maybe for some reason I can't install Lineage-based ROMs, let's figure out later and get a debloated stock ROM. So I downloaded MAURO V2.2_Free and gave it another try. Looked more promising, as the bootlogo was a little different, no more chinese writing but english. Unfortunately this was all I could see of MAURO as I only got a bootloop... so again reflashed MAURO and this time a single line in TWRP-output came to my eye "boot.img could not be written". I checked flashboot oem device-info after every flash and it always told me, bootloader is unlocked, but there seems to be something else that I'm missing that obviously still keeps the bootloader locked. I wiped the phone several times, even sdcard... nothing helped. The only method that worked for me to get a working rom running was by this guide, manualy flashing every bit of stock ROM with flashboot. With MAURO-ROM, I also tried to flash boot.img manually with flashboot, but that didn't work, either.
Anyone of you experienced the same? What am I missing? Or is this some new protection implemented by LeEco for the most recent devices? Any help really appreciated!

I have the same phone from Honorbuy, I flashed twrp using the tool by Mauronofrio and from the twrp wiped all and flashed the custom rom, all went ok, no errors at all! Glad to see you have solved anyway!
Thanks for the answer... no, it's not solved for me... still a lot of bloat on the phone I can't get rid of. Do you have a link for the tool you mentioned? Could be worth a try...
Hi! I've used this tool installing it on a Windows 7 64 system:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/tool-tool-one-mauronofrio-t3580611
Then turned ON the (original LeEco stock rom) usb debug option by the rom's developer options, then downloaded the LineageOS 14.1 by Team Superluminal in the phone's internal SD (the only SD it have!) + Arm64 nano Gapps, then with the tool gave a reboot in sideload mode. Then flashed the twrp recovery by the tool, restarted in recovery mode then executed a backup of ALL the "backupable" stuff (all the original rom and data and efs), then in wipe/advanced options I wiped dalvik, system, cache, data. Then in Advanced/file manager I wiped all the SD files with a dot ( . ) at the beginning of their names, then flashed the custom rom + gapps, reboot system, wait some minutes, done!
No luck with this tool, it doesn't even find my device. Any other ideas? I've read something for the x727, where they had to flash a 19s bootloader first, but I don't want to fiddle with flashing files that are not 100% meant for the x720...
CDFS
Solved! As I could install TWRP I just went the next step and installed SuperSU (rooted the phone) in order to at least debloat stock rom. During the installation of SuperSU I saw, that SuperSU obviously patches somehow the bootloader. After checking that SuperSU worked in the ROM, I was curious if this could be the missing part I was searching for. I tried to install a LineageOS-based ROM and BINGO! it just went straight through! From my previous phones I was used to just install TWRP, wipe anything and flash desired ROM. This seems to be different on this device... so the proper procedure to be able to flash any ROMs is: Install TWRP, root stock ROM, reboot so SuperSU is fully functional, then go back into TWRP, wipe, flash what you want.
CDFS
I hate to say it, but it's still not solved. After testing Resurrection Remix, I wanted to test turbos ROMs, so went to TWRP, wiped and flashed... and got the same behaviour as before, ROM not booting. Also installing SuperSU via TWRP again didn't help, so brought back the phone to stock 023S manualy with the guide by Presterin, installed TWRP again and also SuperSU. No Errors, but flashing a different ROM didn't worked. So for now I'm back to stock, rooted it and tried to debloat it by myself. The only difference between the successful flashing and the failed was the stock version: I had the 026S-update when I rooted the phone and successfuly could flash another ROM. My guess would be that LeEco changed something in the bootloader, but I have no chance to verify this. Anyone from the devs maybe who could look into this? If you need dumos, logs or anything like that, I would be happy to help.
CDFS
This seems unrelated to bootloader.
Anyway:
1. Make sure you got the latest firmware, if not sure:
1.1. Download latest OFFICIAL ROM
1.2. Rename the rom to a 'update.zip' and place it on phone's root directory.
1.3. Reboot to fastboot and flash STOCK RECOVERY
1.4. Reboot to recovery and flash, also check wipe data.
DO NOT FLASH STOCK ROM WITH TWRP! THIS WILL NOT WORK!
That's it, you should have the latest firmware now.
After booting to stock rom, reboot a few times is recommended.
2. Download latest OFFICIAL TWRP
2.1. Flash TWRP with fastboot.
2.2. Reboot to TWRP.
2.3. Download any custom rom of your choice.
2.4. Wipe.
2.5 Flash.
Done.
You can try to flash a stock, old rom using the "Qfil/FlashOne" way as suggested by Tryzex (read his thread and other related threads), then once you have got a stable, full working phone, you can (hopefully!) wait for a LeEco OTA automatic update that can "repair" the file system/partition structure (also bootloader I hope!).
Btw, to debloat it isn't necessary to root the phone, you can keep the phone unrooted & debloated using the file manager embedded in twrp recovery to delete/replace any file/app you want. I'm sorry I can't help you better, cheers and... good luck!
PS
I see now the post from Voron00, it's a good hint!
@voron00 thx for the steps described. I'm using the most recent, official TWRP (3.1.1). Latest Official Stock seems to be 023S on their site, even though there is a 026S update. However, I did this 026S-update and rooted again, but was to cusious if flashing would work now... so I tried flashing turbos MIUI... guess what? It worked. So for whatever reason I seem to have trouble when flashing from a 023S, but no problems when flashing from 026S. I don't quite understand why you think that my problem is not related to the bootloader? As mentioned in the OP, I could see in the logs that while flashing, some roms had thrown errors regarding writing the bootpartition.
CDFS
Seems as I found the culprit, somehow. At least I could flash two other ROMs without any problems. Obviously I mixed and partly missinterpreted some steps found in different threads and howtos. I had "rm -rf for formating" ticked all the time in TWRP. My flashing procedure is now as follows:
1. in TWRP settings check that "rm -rf instead of format" is NOT ticked
2. wipe Cache, System and Data
3. repair filesystem for Cache, System and Data and check that no errors occur
4. in TWRP settings tick "rm -rf instead of format"
5. flash ROM
6. wipe Dalvik
CDFS
"rm -rf" clears all the files and directories without formatting the partition. If your partition is damaged you need a real format to obtain a reliable partition (if the "disk" isn't faulty). Perhaps in your case a real format was required to solve the problem! I always used the real format and assumed other users even so. I see you finally solved the problem!
Guys this is help less.
After rooting my device I followed some instructions to get the Lineage 14. I flashed a BootLoader and a Modem as instructed and went forth to mount USB in order to transfer the custom rom into the device. But this is where the problem is.
It says E: Cant find partition to mount storage. I've tried to reboot, wide, data, storage, system and cache and repair the partition I don't know what else to do.
Anyone else can help? Btw I am fairly new to this stuff so please dumb it down for me.
Another thing, when I go to reboot my recovery it says my device isn't rooted and asks to install superSu, however it was rooted before I entered download mode and started installing bootloader and modem.
Now I have no operating system in the device so i can literally only use Recovery or download mode.
Is my device bricked? I don't know. :crying: :crying:

If you can boot recovery, all is not lost.
First, are you sure that you flashed the correct bootloader/modem for your s5 model (G900 T, P, V, F, etc? Odin should not let you flash the wrong one, but anything is possible.
If Bl/modem is correct, them the next thing is to get the custom rom onto the phone.
-make sure you have downloaded everything you need (rom, root method(pref Magisk), gapps if wanted)
- boot into recovery, I'm recommending and assuming that you are using the latest Twrp, if not, d/l official Twrp for your model, and flash that with Odin
-In twrp select wipe, format data, just in case.
-now you should be able to mount usb storage, using the option in twrp
- now you should be able to mount your phone to your PC and transfer the rom, put it somewhere easy to find on the phone. also copy gapps and Magisk zips
-now, still in twrp, select install, select rom zip, select add more, select Magisk zip, also flash gapps at this time if you want to use them.
-click the button to flash
-click wipe cache/dalvik
-click reboot
-pray ?

Hey man! Thank you so much for your reply. I installed CPE1 bootloader and modem driver, honestly I don't even know what they do. Was this a wrong thing to do?
I rooted my device using cf auto root, then flashed the bootloader and modem using Odin. After that I (stupidly) tried to boot my stock OS and it was stuck in a bootloop.
Unfortunately I won't be able to try your instructions this till tomorrow evening but I'll keep you posted!! do you mind if I pm?
Edit: I was using twrp 2.8.7 I believe, could this have been the problem? Also I updated twrp to latest and tried micro sd as storage and flashed a Rom but the phone is still bootlooping

Ok I see you have S5 plus. I'm not familiar with that device to know which baseband it should be.
One thing you might try is to boot recovery and clear cache/dalvik and then try booting the custom rom.
If all else fails, you might try Samfirm
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
That should give you a stock firmware file to flash with odin.
You can pm if you need to, I don't own an S5+, nor am I a veteran flasher but I will try to help if I can.

Ok sorry I couldn't be more help
Oh, you don't need to use of cfautoroot anymore, you can just flash Magisk after the rom, and then use Magisk manager to manage all your root permissions.
So if you are going back to stock, I would:
-Flash stock in Odin
-probably boot stock once to verify (first boot takes long)
-odin flash latest twrp(uncheck auto-reboot, just battery pull after it says pass)
-power on phone with key combo to boot recovery
- format data
-flash rom/gapps?/Magisk
-wipe cache/dalvik
-reboot system (first boot will take long)
Hope you get your phone working again

Good News! Phone is back in full working order after flashing stock firmware. It was kinda scary though, I had to fix an error in Odin and then the phone wouldn't even boot up! Left it over night, booted it again and it worked fine Thanks a lot for your help, I'll try not to soft brick my device again

Adb sideload full ROM in TWRP with adb push *file* /sdcard
Wipe everything again and reinstall a full OOS zip found here in the forums. Make sure you install it to both slots, once you flash the full rom zip, flash TWRP again, reboot twrp and then reboot to system. You'll have to set everything up again unfortunately. My advice would be after you make a nandroid, copy it to a PC so that when you go to wipe everything, you can copy everything back and go from there or do what I do and buy a USB Type-C flash drive and when you go to make a backup, just backup to the flash drive. Or worst case use the MSM Download Tool to start fresh. Just make sure if you have the T-Mobile 6T to use the MSM specifically for the T-Mobile version.
I keep all of my important files like ROM's, recovery, Kernels, and backups on a 128gb SanDisk Ultra Fit 3.1 and use a Samsung OTG adapter. They can be had on eBay or Amazon for about $25. 32gb for $10, 64gb for $15-20, and 128gb for $20-25.
Do as Mikex8593 said or just flash the system partition of a fastboot rom

I tried to sideload through TWRP and it failed every time I tried "total xfr: 1.00x.
I was thinking that maybe I should flash stock recovery and from stock recovery to flash the whole OOS Rom as i downloaded from OnePlus website?
Also i was looking at this thread " https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516"
and was wondering about the Fastboot roms, can I just flash it through fastboot and get the phone back working, since TWRP not working.
I m a bit newbie in this and learning my way through.
Thank you for your patience

Wipe everything again and reinstall a full OOS zip found here in the forums. Make sure you install it to both slots, once you flash the full rom zip, flash TWRP again, reboot twrp and then reboot to system. You'll have to set everything up again unfortunately.

Can you please explain what do you mean by installing it on both slots?
Edit: i Have just discovered the slots on TWRP which is something new to me and googling/trying to understand it.
isn't it possible to flash everything back using fastboot or stock recovery?
TWRP have failed in side-loading the stock rom zip I installed from oneplus website.
Yes, i was thinking of the same, I should get a USB type-C it is a must.
Thank you a lot for your help.

While you're booted into TWRP, if it boots to Slot A, install OOS to A, then change to Slot B and flash OOS to B. PM me if you need help. I'll try and help as best as I can.

I have just decided to go to sleep, and in twrp i tried to click power off. The phone ended up in bootloop... then i tried to boot into bootloader. and then few more minutes the phone just booted in OOS Rom and started the setup process as new Rom.
Which is weird, I don't know what happened.
Also i have lost the TWRP recovery
I m not sure if it is related, to me clicking on slots A - B or so.

That's the point of slots, if your ROM is screwed in active slot and can't boot, at next boot the other slot will be set and tried. If there's a working ROM on it it's good. And if in the other slot no custom recovery is present you lose it
That's why I don't understand why people recommend to flash the same ROM on both slots, it goes on the contrary of the slot philosophy. The only understandable case is when you need to have up to date vendor official partitions before flashing a custom ROM: there the ROM Dev can recommend to flash official OOS twice. But it's not the case till now in the few custom ROM I've seen around
Sounds like you might have been making it too complicated. You can sideload the ROM, or just transfer the ROM to the phone and load it. The phone will be seen by the OS as a MTP device when TWRP is up and running.
When you are in slot A and you install the factory ROM it is automatically installed to slot B and vice versa. You need to immediately install the TWRP recovery to keep TWRP as the ROM will overwrite your recovery with the stock recovery. Then you need to reboot to recovery again, this would put to the opposite slot where your "new" ROM is installed, and let you install Magisk. If you want to update this the original slot just install the ROM and TWRP again. Reboot to recovery again. No need to specify slots, unless you didn't want to change something in the other slot for some reason (like a dual boot or something)
At this point just fast boot the TWRP image and re-run the TWRP installer to get TWRP back and it sounds like you're all set.

Hi, I tried to copy the zip file through MTP but it didn't work, the internal storage on PC looked empty and was not mentioning any size of the storage, and when I try to copy and past a file, the copy process gets stuck on 0% forever.
Sideloading didn't work too. The CMD on PC reached 47% and then gave an error of total xfr:1.00x. when i tried to flash the stock rom zip file from oneplus website.
I had TWRP latest official one, i m not sure if it has issues.
Is there a way to validate that the stock rom files and all are still all working fine? Maybe re-flash the stock rom through stock recovery since TWRP is gone?
Also regarding the slot A and Slot B, i have never flashed anything except root through TWRP. So it could be when i wiped it wiped the empty slot. But the system is back at to zero and setup as new.
try this
