Hi,
i have a wipe issue with sdmerge roms and cwm recovery 5.x (can't wipe data)
I would like to update recovery, taking recovery.img (cwm 6.x) from sdmerge steps.

Change recovery or try TWRP.
OR wait for @linuxx to release new build of cwm

Yes or otherwise thru fastboot.
Depends if you can flash anything in recovery

[Help] Cannot boot past bootloader unlock warning. [Solved]

I rooted my device and soft bricked it. I think layers manager was the culprit; had no problems until I tried to apply a theme and then reboot. After the boot animation I had a blank black screen. I tried using the restore to stock tool found here, but it had no effect. Next I booted into recovery and wiped everything and I tried the RTS tool again. It didn't help this time and now instead of making it to the boot animation when I reboot the system, I cannot make it past bootloader unlocked warning. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks
Edit: clarification
Moto X is back up and running (which is good news because I dropped my Oneplus One and cracked the screen earlier today ={ SMH). Special thanks to u/CrozB who supplied me with nandroid backup that I was able to restore my phone from.

Are you booting into twrp recovery?

Yes I can boot into twrp

Might have to restore your backup and try again

Have you tried

?
Edit: Just noticed you already tried. Strange that wouldn't fix, try reaching out to @Shawn5162

In TWRP go to mount system then go to file browser in TWRP and then vendor/overlays and delete everything there.

If only I had a backup to restore to. Lesson learned!!
I couldn't find any folder named vendor/overlays.

You tried to install a layers theme? They are stored in /system/vendor/overlay

My System folder is empty, so Android OS is missing from my device.

Manually flash all of the files found in the restore tool you tried earlier. The two issue is probably Windows drivers though.

Did you make a TWRP backup? That should be on your SD Card to restore from

Unfortunately I did not

Oh man that stinks ... First rule of Android mod club is always always make a fresh TWRP backup

if there was a rom already I think it would be easy to just flash but yea sucks you didn't make backup.

Could someone create a backup and send to him? Or is that essentially what the restore tool is?

Factory restore before the backup

Try flashing the sbf files (system binary flash) from that thread using rsdlite. You may have to google for it but 6.1.6 is the current version.
All you really need is the system, kernel (boot.img) partitions restored, although the program above will flash the entire image. You tell it what to flash using the xml file.

I don't think there are sbf files in file in that tool. Here are are all of files in the RSTool.

Looks just like any other motorola sbf firmware to me. Should work in rsdlite.

Yeah, you can actually do that without root. I assume you have knowledge to use fastboot tools.
Download twrp 3.0.2 and put it in fastboot folder on pc.
Now type in "fastboot boot twrpxxx.img"
Your phone will boot into twrp without actually flashing it. Then, select backup and choose "system, data, boot, recovery" and complete backup of your ROM will be created.

Well, that depends on you. You need to backup only system, boot and recovery, that will give you the clean backup. But, if you would like to revert back with the same settings and apps installed earlier then you might choose to backup data and cache too.

I literally used fastboot to wipe everyt9i could then tried flashing different twrp and then using that to wipe everything and once I could mount everything I needed I flashed pixel experience mate. But it was hard to boot to twrp it would only work like 1 in 10 tries so just keep trying mate

i dont mate i just kept wiping in twrp and trying to get everything mounted
this is the twrp i used mate
https://mega.nz/#!jdIAnazY!bNxM76QRXK8wczsCma6BKgm10PYndYXcZphKUCwLH2o
it can be arkward to boot to twrp if i remeber mate try turning phone off and holding down the volume down and power buttons till it boots then when you get the boot loader screen press volume down on its own

Has anyone succeeded, I was stuck in the same problem, then I installed Magisk from Twrp and it worked for me from the problem
