Very select and unusual problem - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

I have the 64 gb US version moto g 5 plus. I unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp 3.0.0 from a thread that I found here. Unfortunately I found out too late that this version of twrp is really incompatible with this phone. I reflashed to twrp 3.1.1.0 and with that I managed to get pure nexus running. I made a backup of my rom before before installing pure nexus which I needed because pure nexus locked me out. When I went to twrp to restore my rom I was booting into stock recovery and could not flash twrp. I have had to flash back to stock using rsd.
Here is my problem: when I try to flash the version of twrp that works I get the following message
(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (11074 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.250s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt
(bootloader) Invalid boot image
FAILED (remote failure)
Can anyone give me a direction to go with this so I can get this phone working? I've rooted many phones and tablets but this one is winning the war.

Here is what my fastboot looks like. Does anyone understand why my fastboot state is secure? I tried to push twrp using my other phone and got this output:

I can't afford to buy another phone so if I can't get this one working I'm stuck using my moto g3. Any help will be appreciated.

i think you must flash it as .img not .zip, i THINK..

Will the twrp app allow me to flash twrp as an image? Do I just rename the .zip file to .img and use the same commands in fastboot?
*EDIT* I forgot. I can't do the twrp app because I don't have root.

Unzip the zip file. There should be an img file

Well there is my rtfm moment. Unzip the damn file.

I am fully rooted..phone running smoothly..I question.,.I can not backup or download to internal storage..I must use SD card..anyone have a clue as to how to correct this..thanks

mytouch fender stuck at "HTC Magic" splash screen.

I buddy of mine gave me this mytouch fender because he tried to root the phone and he's an idiot.
Now the phone is stuck at the "HTC Magic" splash screen and won't boot into android and won't boot into any kind of recover.
I can get into hboot though by holding down volume and power.
Where do I start? I have a Sprint Epic 4g that I rooted for my wife so I'm not a complete moron I just need a push in the right direction for this phone.
Start by post ALL fastboot info, ALL.
Plus the outcome of this command:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
I didn't want to get it wrong so I just took some pics

I noticed on the phone that all the other progress bars fill up and disappear but when it gets to the purple progress bar and tries to flash recovery it just sits there without filling in any color at all.
Somebody else was telling me that I needed a "gold card" because this is a Fender T-Mobile phone?
Anyway, I still have the phone in the last state it was in when the recovery failed to flash and I haven't rebooted yet. Waiting to here what to do next.
Try to flash the recovery alone!!!
Also provide the info inside the "actual tab".
Do not reboot, do not shutdown the tool....
You do not need any goldcard... you have eng spl...
Don't worry... as long the hboot and radio was ok, you are in no harm :0)
Same result when I try to flash recovery alone.

check your pm
Flash the eng spl again, the 1.33.2010... find it under magicfiles bundled with the tool.
If it goes well, then reboot into fastboot again... then try to flash the recovery... if it goes well, then flash the hboot that was meant to the fender (the one you downloaded to begin with) and, reboot if that want well to.
brotha its beastie here is your answer
You need to revert back to a HTBOOT that will accept the update. Here is your instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622530

you should be able to apply the directions the original gentlemen told you after you downgrade. in order to downgrade you MUST have a goldcard.

Droid Turbo Downgrade 5.1 Lollipop OTA to 4.4.4 Kitkat

Hi, i know some of you are not very happy with the update, and ONLY if you took the OTA (and not flashed the full image) there is still hope for you.
im not sure if this will work, i need someone with a Droid Turbo (DT) to try.
the risk is 0, if this metod doesnt work, it will simply not flash, so no risk on it.
First you have to download the original Kitkat Firmware of Droid Turbo:
https://mega.co.nz/#!hZVThbjC!SqvNd7KYqYEvnbHRulVKJ2N9dsjMuNXpkcl1h-ENL3g
Requisites:
Android Studio or Minimal ADB and Fasboot (i personally recommend Minimal Adb and Fastboot because thats all we gonna need and its lighter than Android Studio 2 Mb vs 800Mb)
Kitkat Firmware
mFastboot (motorola Fastboot) i uploaded it for you: https://mega.co.nz/#!MVtz1DLb!CZTh_-wCl-qyta4Q0yZuPk_TB6Wq7Z4zElk6eArXrXk
Installation:
1.- Install MAaF
Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot
2.- Install mFastboot
Copy the contents of mfastboot.zip and put them on Minimal ADB and Fastboot Folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Now you have working Fastboot AND mFastboot
3.- Copy Firmware
Copy the contents of your desired firmware to Minimal ADB and Fastboot Folder like this:
VRZ_XT1254_KDF21.128-15_15_CFC_SVC.xml
unzip and put all content of the file on the Minimal ADB and Fastboot Folder
Now you are ready to flash!
First turn off your device and Put it on fastboot mode (Power and volume down for 2 seconds with your phone off)
4.- Get Detected
type
Code:
fastboot devices
on minimal adb to see if your pc detects your phone on fastboot mode
if you get some numbers and letters like the picture you are ready to go.
if not, you are missing drivers, looks for Motorola Device Manager
5.- Install
Copy and Paste these commands on Minimal ADB and Fastboot:
mfastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img
mfastboot flash radio radio.img
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and thats all, as easy as copy from here and paste on cmd.
i highly recommend that you erase everything for a smoother experience, but some people want to keep all their files, so this line its optional
mfastboot erase userdata
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and thats all, as easy as copy from here and paste on cmd.
when your phone finishes flashing just press enter to execute mfastboot reboot and you will boot kitkat again
Once again i have not tried this, the bigger risk is that you will have to flash lollipop again in case it doesnt work.
Anyone willing to try? be the first to downgrade to Kitkat!
Gonna test it out now!!
Thanks man!!!
Also below is a link for the 21.128-15_15_CFC_SVC.xml (got errors when trying to unzip your download @Jaocagomez)
http://www.rootjunkysdl.com/files/Droid%20Turbo/Firmware/VRZ_XT1254_KDF21.128-15_15_CFC_SVC.xml.zip
You are going to get a Preflash Validation failed error message from fastboot. This was attempted when people had soft bricks from sideloading the ota and there was no img available.
http://gyazo.com/c5d1be6c5a88265bf13af3cbce30ce12
I didn't side load mine, i took the OTA and as per his directions this MAY work with the OTA so it is worth a shot.

There is now no hope whatsoever for those who took the OTA. I think it is time I accidentally drop my phone and call for a replacement. Although the only thing i truly wanted root for was to kill the wakelocks using amplify, greenify, and powernap. This phone still get 2days worth of battery with 5.1, just feel emasculated without root :'(

Side loading the OTA zip and taking the OTA update are the samething.
There is the same amount of hope as there has always been. This method was already tried at least two weeks ago, there is nothing special about it. It is the same way you flash any motorola image from fastboot.
what about flashing kitkat with mofo?
not free but it could work
How is this any different than RootJunky's youtube method of reverting back to stock KK firmware? If you click on the VRZ_XT1254_KDF21.128-15_15_CFC.bat in the folder you download from his site file in fastboot it runs these commands which are similar to yours.
SET fastboot=fastboot.exe
%fastboot% oem fb_mode_set
%fastboot% flash partition gpt.bin
%fastboot% flash motoboot bootloader.img
%fastboot% flash radio radio.img
%fastboot% flash logo logo.bin
%fastboot% flash boot boot.img
%fastboot% flash recovery recovery.img
%fastboot% flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
%fastboot% flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
%fastboot% flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
%fastboot% flash system system.img_sparsechunk4
%fastboot% flash system system.img_sparsechunk5
%fastboot% flash system system.img_sparsechunk6
%fastboot% erase ddr
%fastboot% erase cache
%fastboot% erase userdata
%fastboot% oem fb_mode_clear
pause
This is the standard way of reverting back to the original KK firmware and I've been able to do it from a Mofo'd CF Lollipop image fine. If you took the Lollipop OTA this method is gonna be incompatible with the updated Lollipop bootloader. You need the original KK bootloader for this to work.
sorry, dont work after flash original image brazil 5.0.2 rsdlite?

I tried to do as others did but the I could not extract the RUU zip it sort of has 1 to 27 little zips which I don't even know how to combine them coz when I open one with winrar I see the all the required files but I can't extract. also where can I get RUU.exe of Nougat for Htc 10 Verizon? thanks

you mean the thread that could help me has been deleted?
If you are bootloader LOCKED and S-ON, I don't see how you could be flashing anything whatsoever. Did you leave something out?

Somehow HTC allow hosd to be flashed without S-off unlike the rest partitions

Then that would explain why you're bricked, wouldn't it?

Is it possible to S-off in this mode?

I doubt it, since Sunshine only works on a booted handset that is pre-Nougat. I have no idea whether @beaups or @jcase could somehow S-OFF it without being able to boot it. You might want to ask in that thread.

@nitinvaid that "not found" things is common i have seen with few others too but it works fine.
As well you got that warning for unlocked bootloader, it means it got unlocked successfully. You can try to flash TWRP.
Update: there is thread to hide that unlock message, see in themes section of this device.

That message of 'image not signed or corrupt' is normal. You've got OKAY which indicates the flash worked. Reboot to recovery after flashing to ensure TWRP is not overwritten by the stock recovery. Afterwards, you may boot as normal.

I'll check that when I reach home... I thought that's the error....
I will be going to flash the RR ROM

I think it's more a warning to remind you that TWRP is not cryptographically signed with the expected keys that the bootloader is programmed with. As such, you're flashing an image in fastboot that is different to what the bootloader is expecting, which may explain the message.
Either way, as I and abhi212b mentioned, the flash worked, but stock recovery will overwrite TWRP if you boot to system, rather than recovery.
Good choice of ROM, good luck with the flashing.
Yes it worked thanks everyone.... It looks like that all are false error....

MOTO G31 BROM Mode?

After an unsuccfessful flash to downgrade from Android 12 to Android 11 i hard bricked the device due to validation errors on the preloader (see below). Unfortunately i had a reboot lastly in my batch file...
Now I have no response on power button, and no recognition via USB. Just dead.
I need to figure out how to enter BROM mode for the G31, I assume this is going to be via test points.
Anyone here has that information or any other unbricking ideas?
Here are the errors:
writing 'preloader'...
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed

writing 'gz_a'...

Exactly the same problem here... any luck?
Looks like we must use the "fastbootd" mode to flash... not the regular fastboot... as shown on this video:
But now... I cannot get it to even turn on or connect to the pc...
After a lot of research on the topic, my conclusion is:
If it is not recognize when plug in USB...
doesn't show on the Device Manager... There is no hope to revive it!
That's a Mediatek issue... there is no "Force USB Connection" test point...
RIP G31...

Without unlocked bootlader this flashing will not work. That's why it is giving you error Failed (remote failure).
You can try to connect device by pressing volume up and down buttons simulataneously to get it into BROM mode.
Please make sure to have all the MTK drivers installed and use libusb to install the device filter for MTK port.
Only official Motorola Service Center has tool to flash the device in locked state.
You can easily find the test point of your phone if you are comfortable in disassembling the device, the test point is usually located near the memory chip.
Please refer to this video. You may get some idea on how the device is flashed.
Thank you!. But I already had gone through the process of unlocking the bootloader. The phone gave me the unlocked bootloader splash screen on startup so It should have been unlocked.
I have tried various combinations of button presses while connecting but nothing seems to work.
I'm quite comfortable opening the phone up and I already have, but I would need some further instructions locating the BROM test point. Is it under the metal shield perhaps? If I find it, I just ground it right?
I believe I have installed all the drivers mentioned, several times.

Does your phone shows up in device manager as Mediatek Preloader Vcom when connected to PC?

No, it does not show up at all. So I need to force it into BROM somehow.

To force into BROM we need to see if it connects in MTK Preloader mode
