I was using 5.0.1, with stock bootloader, stock recovery, actually stock everything except SuperSU added.
I downloaded the 5.1 image from Google, and tried flashing it:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz30f.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1701.06.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot update image-occam-lmy47o.zip
Got some missing sig errors, and "failed to allocate xxxxxxxxx bytes" error. Thus after searching for more information I ended up unpacking image-occam-lmy47o.zip and running:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
Then rebooted. The result is an endless boot animation, regardless of anything I try. Tried restoring my TWRP backup, reflashing 5.1, reflashing 5.0.1, always the same. Last logcat line at boot:
E/kickstart( 233): Sahara protocol completed
Then it's just stuck there. For minutes. For tens of minutes. Looks like forever. Anyone else ever seen this problem, and happens to have a solution? (Preferably without losing my data)
Edit: After a few hours I restored the original (or so I hope) state, by wiping, then flashing 5.0.1, then restoring my backup. But now I don't dare to try flashing 5.1 again. Still would love to hear ideas from who might have seen this problem and knows a solution.
After you've flashed the factory image boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset.

You only really need to flash the following (unless there is a new bootloader and radio):
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (if you are running custom recovery you can skip flashing this)
fastboot flash system system.img

There was a new radio, but that worked (I accidentally booted normally after flashing it). The rest is the same that I did, except the cache, guess next time I'll try doing it without flashing that one. Do I not have to wipe the cache partition either? (And no custom recovery here, I boot TWRP from my PC via fastboot.)
Edit: Who understands this.... I tried it again tonight, flashed radio, then fastboot update image-occam-lmy47o.zip worked, no error this time, no unpacking, nothing. Just a successful update this time.
Guess that wipe was needed, maybe something was already corrupted before I tried flashing the first time.
Case closed.
as the tittle says... i am soft-bricked, stuck on google animation.. I did a install of the full android rom 1.4 from zulu99 and everything worked like a champ but i wanted to go back to stock for the kids and now i am stuck
I can access fastboot and recovery on the device and compute recognizes it also..
I downloaded the stock image for marsh 3.2.0 and i flashed all the required files:
fastboot flash staging blob
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot reboot
it reboots and goes to the google animation and it just stays there!!!(left it there for a day!!!) i also tried to flashing fastboot flash tegra210-foster-e-p2530-0930-e02-00.dtb and did not fix it..
also tried to flash 3.1.0 same steps and no go... i know my adb files are up to date... any ideas?
I was able to flash full android 1.4 from zulu again and works like a champ but i need stock for the kiddos.
try flashing twrp recovery from there wipe system and data partition then reboot into fastboot flash 3.2 again
i was stuck at the boot animation about a month ago after the 3.2 update.... see my post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi...ion-screen-t3263143/post67564062#post67564062
please note: i used the 3.1 recovery image because the 3.2 image had not been released yet. have not tried it with the newer 3.2 image
also, if you follow my post and install the 3.1 image....be sure to flash the files in the order posted! some will flash quickly, but one or two took awhile to complete, so be patient and wait for each step to finish before moving on to the next.
yes, i saw ur post and how you solved it and i did try the same thing and it did not fix it.. it just gets me to the animation screen... i am gonna try to load twrp from fastboot, wipe.. then re install everything and once done, i will try to fastboot -w and see if that helps me...

Hi there! I recently got my first android phone so wanted to install Lineage os 15.1 but messed it up right away as it's in now in boot loop! Here's what I did:
It was on Android 8.0 angler-opr5.170623.011-factory-0e60ceb6 but I unlocked its boot loader and installed custom recovery and I successfully flashed in the fastboot , vendor, radio and boot loader from Lineage OS 15.1 thread, now instead of following the rest of instructions, I madly decided to reboot the device using fastboot reboot and now I don't see anything except these colored circles which is what boot loop probably is! Please help me find a solution! Thank you!
edited: I have successfully entered into bootloader mode but don't know how to proceed!
I'd flash all the stock firmware in bootloader and start over. Grab the latest firmware package from Google's site, extract it, then run:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img (name changes with version)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img (name changes with version)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Reboot to system
You'll probably have to flash your custom recovery again in bootloader after the first boot. It usually reverts back to stock.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928/page1
Part 10 in the thread above^
I recommend you installing an easy official ROM.
With them all you need to do is a clean flash of the ROM
Since I'm still a noob so I need to muster up courage to proceed but I really appreciate your valuable input guys!! Cheers!! :good:

Hi,
I have a problem with a Moto G4. I tried to root the device and think I f***** up a bit.
After successfully installing TWRP I tried to install SuperSu using adb sideload and afterwards the device wouldn't boot anymore. Only fastboot and the recovery are still working. If I try to boot the device it just turns off. A factory reset didn't help.
I tried installing a LineageOS but nothing changed. It still boots into fastboot.
Can anybody help?

I forgot to say that I at first didn't install supersu systemless.
After I noticed that the device wouldn't boot anymore I tried installing it again systemless.

Hmm, did you wipe your system and data in TWRP before flashing LineageOS? You do not require root to flash LineageOS, just an unlocked bootloader and a compatible TWRP recovery (taking care to note if you need the 32 bit or 64 bit TWRP recovery for the respective custom ROM).
Also, with rooting on our G4/Plus, if you are on stock Nougat, you must flash a custom kernel (e.g. ElementalX) before you root. You'll otherwise experience the boot failures you're experiencing. Thus, to root on stock Nougat, unlock bootloader, flash/boot TWRP, backup, then flash ElementalX, then flash SuperSU/magisk.
Without knowing the current state of your device, I would suggest re-flashing your device with the stock firmware. Can you remember what stock firmware you had on your device before rooting initially?

Hi, thanks for your reply
Yes, I wiped system data and cache before flashing lineage. I just tried it again and I am still stuck in fastboot.
Unfortunately I don't remember the stock firmware version. Should I just try to flush the custom kernel and supersu afterwards?

Hmm, did you know if the flash of LineageOS reported okay within TWRP? Just out of interest, which TWRP and which build of LineageOS are you flashing (e.g. are you using the 32 bit TWRP or 64 bit TWRP, and are you flashing the 32 or 64 bit Lineage OS)?
That's confusing that even pressing 'start' in fastboot reboots your device rather than booting, even with a custom ROM... What happens if you boot to TWRP and try to reboot via TWRP? Is there a system to boot to?
Without the stock system on your device, there's no point to re-flashing the custom kernel/SuperSU, since you should have LineageOS on your device. Do you have a TWRP backup you could restore before you tried to root? If not, then what's your device model number (and if you can remember it, what software channel you're on, e.g. retus, reteu etc). ?

Yes, everything was ok with the flash.
I am using lineage-14.1-20180516-nightly-athene-signed and twrp-3.2.1-0-athene. I didn't see any options to choose between 32 and 64 bit. (Download pages: https://download.lineageos.org/athene#!name https://eu.dl.twrp.me/athene/)
It doesn't matter how I try to boot (powerbutton, fastboot, recovery) I always directly end up in fastboot.
No I don't have a backup. When I got the device it was resetted so I saw no point in making one :/ It is an XT1622 and it should be reteu.

Okay, so they should both be 32 bit, so no worries there. There do seem to be a few reports of boot issues on the more recent official LineageOS builds https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-1-t3522101/page280 but I don't know if they are still existing on the build you've flashed.
As it's likely your device has been reset when you flashed LineageOS (I don't know if there are still files on your internal storage, which you can view in TWRP, so back up if you do have files), you may wish to look into a stock firmware flash. Here's the April 2018 NPJS25.93-14-18 firmware, which appears to be the build released to EU devices: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 You do not have to re-lock your bootloader if you don't wish to - if you wish to leave your bootloader unlocked, then flash the stock firmware via fastboot with the following flashing commands:
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
Flashing these files via ADB should put a fresh copy of the latest firmware onto your device, which should then boot. If it does boot, then you can proceed with rooting (flash TWRP, then back up, then flash ElementalX or vegito, then flash SuperSU or magisk).

I can boot the stock rom and I have root access. However if I start or shut down the device it goes to fastboot. From there I can boot or shut down the device and everything seems to work Do you know how I can boot directly without fastboot?

Hmm, try booting back to the bootloader, attach your device to your computer, then open ADB. In ADB, type 'fastboot oem fb_mode_clear' without the quotes. Press enter to submit, then reboot and see if your device boots to system rather than to fastboot.
This command should clear fastboot mode (though useful when flashing).

Thank you very much for your help :victory:
Got this working with Lineage ok but decided to go back to stock. I downloaded the stock recovery rom from NV and set everything up. Inside the recovery bundle is a bat file. Usually I would flash all files manually but this time I used the bat file. It manged the first 3 or 4 commands then came up with error. The box is now stuck in a boot loop and I am unable to access over adb.
Can anyone please suggest a way around this.
Thanks
Here is the bat file
fastboot flash staging blob
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash dtb mdarcy.dtb.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot oem lock (optional step: required for certain functionality)
fastboot reboot
EDIT:
Eventually managed to flash lineage zip again. Used USB keyboard to access recovery
may i ask, what kind of keyboard did u use?
thanks in advance
