Hello guys, first time posting here, I'm pretty sure it's a silly question, sorry if it is but I couldn't find the answer anywhere. I have an unlocked and rooted device, I installed the last 4.3 update this morning, and usually TWRP let me automatically fix the root just after install the update. But this time it just installed it and booted the tablet, and when I try to enter the recovery mode to fix the root in TWRP, I only see the droid with the exclamation mark.
So the problem is that I don't have root, and I cannot enter TWRP to fix it. TWRP went away with the latest update?. For entering the TWRP I pressed vol+ vol- and power and the pick recovery... is it correct?
Thank you in advance for the great community we have in android and sorry for my english
The same thing happened to me, I resolved it by:
- download a recovery image such as TWRP to a desktop/laptop and then flash it via abd
- now boot into recovery and flash SuperSU 1.51 or higher (1.55)
From what I read you probably did this once before. The 4.3 update overwrote your recovery image and root.

Same for me, Starting have some problems as I tried a "reboot to recovery" apk and got it stuck in the bootloader screen and it wasnt going anywhere.. still had TWRP but reflashing things wasnt working..
Used Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit to bring it back to life..
All good
I reflashed the recovery image and rooted again with Wug's Root Toolkit. All good!! Thank you for your answers guys!! Cannot find the way to put SOLVED in the thread title...

Nice that it is solved but please do nog use toolkits anymore. I respect the effort and time people take to make them but learning fastboot is just way better. Maybe harder but hard work pays off. Almost everyone will tell the same.
For people who want to use fastboot:
1. Flash custom recovery via fastboot.
2. Boot into recovery.
3. Flash latest supersu.
You can put solved in the title by edeting it.

Good time . I have a similar problem : after a recent update missing root. I tried to flash a custom recovery by fastboot, but the process hangs at downloading recovery.img to nexus. I tried using other drivers and a different version of fastboot, but to no avail.
Ps: by same drivers and fastboot I got the root before.

The links you give mostly for L.. I don't know if that will work on M though
Try to extract boot.img from your Asus zip and flash it, root might lost (?)

So, I'm curious about it, and flash twrp myself just awhile ago...
And got bootloop, really... wait, seriously?
I'm like
How did the other day I'm able to survive this? It boot normally,
After 1st successful boot, flashing root, (I don't remember but just say I'm booting twrp this time), xposed, aware that root lost after reboot, I did my backup here,
Then deciding to start from scratch, installing official Asus, boot normally, flash twrp, rooting,rebooting few times and somehow root intact, install xposed, root lost...
Restart again, install Asus official (I'm not restoring my backup, really, the only thing I know how to install stock is by stock recovery itself) , boot twrp, install root by system, reboot, root intact, xposed, root intact, surfing net, registering xda yesterday, just now replying to your thread, then you can read from above again...
Just few minutes ago, restore recovery from backup (still bootloop though), installing Asus again, and make this reply...
Sorry can't help you, even I'm confused right now

Sorry, which part?
If about how I got my recovery back then, I don't really understand, let's assume I have my backup that time. now I have my backup, for real.
From what I understand, invalid boot mean either you got broken boot images or locked bootloader, so which one is familiar to you?
Anyway, you can try to flash back stock boot (grab from asus zip) and stock recovery (if you have them, or find on this forum?).
I don't know if locked bootloader can flash boot/recovery, never tried it myself. So, good luck!

Hi,
I just unlocked the bootloader of my Moto G Plus 4 via adb, and after that I switched it on, it worked fine and I transferred SuperUser.zip into my phone's internal memory, and then tried to flash it through recovery, (following the sleps I read somewhere), since then my phone is not rebooting - it is rebooting into bootloader and I can enter recovery as well, but Im not able to reboot my phone. The device is being detected via adb when it is in recovery mode, but not in bootloader. Is this issue fixable? Please help me fix this.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, I'm not getting the boot animation as well. I press the power key and nothing at all happens.

You got into bootloop, just download the stock ROM and then flash it again, follow any guide over XDA or see YouTube for more help. Flash ROM without locking bootloader will be good.

Yes that is what happen after unlocking Boot loader, just flash the stock ROM using any tutorial over XDA without locking the boot loader and then follow the proper instructions to root your mobile. Rooting is very easy on Android N. So I will say flash android N and then proceed.

First thing, your query doesn't belong to the development thread. It should had been created in "Questions and Answers"
Second thing, if you flash supersu on stock rom it won't boot due some security measures of Moto. Instead flash ElementalX kernel first and then flash supersu.

Last time I used fastboot was more than one year ago. Also, my device is not being detected by adb when in bootloader.

You can try one thing if you have twrp and your phone is booting into recovery then do this.
Download any custom rom based on Android N, don't go with RR for now as it is not for newbie cause new build has some issue while flashing.
Download the gapps recommend the opengapps Nano package from the opengapps.org.
Place both zip on your sd card and boot into recovery and then wipe everything like, system, dalvik cache, cache, system and then install the both zip, first rom and then install gapps. Then reboot. I hope it will fix the bootloop issue.

What did you mean by your device not being detected in bootloader mode. Did you install the right drivers. Did you install minimal adb and fastboot. Can you do the below steps and tell me the result.
1. Download the drivers from here.
For Windows: http://www.devfiles.co/download/5eEx...ager_2.5.4.exe
2. Download the Minimal ADB and Fastboot = https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120698566
3. Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot = https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2317790
4. Restart the Moto G4 in fastboot mode. (Bootloader mode)
5. Connect the Phone to the computer.
6. In adb fastboot folder shift+right click and then in the pop up click "open command window here"
7. In the command line type: "fastboot devices"
Seeing your serial number means we know all is good and your phone is connected and you can go on flash the stock firmware. If the serial number is not showing, the drivers are not properly installed.

I thought he don't have TWRP installed. If TWRP is installed, then go on with what he said. That is the best solution for you. :good:

I tried the same, but the flashing process is stuck on "Patching system image unconditionally..." I tried two different ROMs, and in both cases, it is stuck in the same step

Try with wiping everything, wipe system and internal storage as well, I know your important data will be gone but it will be worth a try. If anything comes up let us know, also what have you tried so far tell us in details so we don't repeat it over and over, also in above post some links are provided try them.

Try with other pc or change the port for data cable. It seems your system partition got corrupted, also you can mount system partition under twrp and then try to format it.

When in TWRP, go to Mount and see if system is ticked or not. If not, mount the system and wipe it. Then flash the rom again. BTW which TWRP version are you using. From where you get it.

So that is the problem. You have to install TWRP latest version. Version 3.0.2 r4 or higher by shreps will work for you. You can find it here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...covery-twrp-3-0-2-r3-moto-g4-g4-plus-t3494337
The latest version is 3.0.3 n4. Flash it, mount the system and everything will be good for you

As @nazim7 suggested you to flash the latest TWRP and then try to flash the rom again, also you can try to resize the partition and try to format it from twrp from the option in twrp. Just let us know what the result come back.

There's one more problem like I've mentioned previously. I have the latest drivers even then the device is not being detected via adb when in bootloader, but as soon as I boot into recovery, the device shows up on adb after command. How do I flash the recovery if the device doesn't show up in bootloader on adb?
Hi,
I have the issue that my g4 plus won't boot at from boot loader. I have flashed the 8.1.0 stock ROM, but am unable to boot into the system. It just boots to the dead android no command screen. I have tried the other methods in other threads to no avail. I also tried ADB side loading but it didn't work either as it did not recognize the .zip. Does anyone have any solutions?

If you try to flash the 8.1.0 stock rom it needs to be extract from the zip. You cannot flash the zip like a custom rom. But that's explained in the instructions in the first post.
Please make this sure.

Oh I fixed it nvm. I just forgot to boot my bad. I guess the thread is useless now.
Hi xda,
I'm new into the world of flashing so any help would be nice.
I used this tuto:
https://rootmydevice.com/tutorials/root-samsung-galaxy-a40/
and downloaded twrp image from this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a40/development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-a40-t3968586
After flash phone restarted as intented but it keeps booting, I tried also some methods how to enter recovery mode while bootlooping but they didn't work out. I also want to flash pixel experience rom.
Thanks for any help provided.
Use the TWRP from this thread.
Your TWRP is not working anymore with actual firmware.
