[Q] TWRP wont start after Updating to 4.3

Hey guys,
I had installed TWRP on my Nexus 7 when it was on 4.2
Then updated to 4.2.2, and everything worked perfectly.
But now few days back, I updated to 4.3 and since the update, TWPR has stopped working.
When i go in recovery i get "!" marked Android (Photo attached).
Pls help, what should i do ?
EDIT : I have also tried flashing (through fastboot) new versions of TWRP, still no Luck !!

What you are seeing is stock recovery. You need to flash a new version of twrp

The update flashed the stock recovery into your N7. Make sure that your bootloader is unlocked and flash TWRP through fastboot, with "fastboot flash recovery [thenameofthefile].img".

Pls read the post guys, I already tried flashing new twrp, it didn't solve the problem, that's why have posted!

Hi, Nikhs...
That's kind of odd... never had any problems myself using fastboot flash to flash a Custom Recovery.
Are you sure you have a working fastboot connection? Type fastboot devices at the command prompt to confirm this. You should see a serial number, followed by the word "fastboot" (without the quotes)... something along these lines...
Code:
025d2d424bxxxxx fastboot
If you don't see something like this, then attempting to fastboot flash anything is a pointless waste of time. You could have a driver problem, ubiquitously known as 'driver hell'. This need to be resolved before you can proceed.
If fastboot flash still fails to flash TWRP, then I'm out of ideas... the only other solution I can suggest is you try flashing the TWRP .img file using either one of these two apps; Flash Image GUI or Flashify. (The TWRP .img file to be flashed will need to be either directly downloaded to the Nexus 7, or copied over to it first).
Both are pretty self-explanatory to use... just follow the on screen instructions.
I have successfully flashed both TWRP and CWM .img files in the past, using these apps, on my Nexus 7, without problems.
Although I've never used it myself, I understand that GooManager will download the most recent TWRP .img file, and automatically flash it for you.
However, the problem with all these apps is... you first need to be already rooted for them to work. So if you're trying to install TWRP in order to initially gain root access, then these apps won't be of much use to you, unfortunately... in which case, you'll have to persevere with fastboot, and see if you can get it to work.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img should work though, and (barring driver problems) the only thing I can see preventing you from successfully flashing a Custom Recovery is a partition corruption, or some sort of underlying hardware problem.
On a final note, (and clutching at straws a little here), try a different USB port or USB cable or even a different PC (if you have one). Tech can be bizarrely capricious at times, and sometimes something as seemingly trivial as changing to a different USB port can resolve the most intractable of problems.
Hope this helps... and good luck.

thanks for the help !
Problem solved,
I installed the Same version (Old version) of TWRP as i had before upgrading to 4.3
then installed the latest version of TWRP over it.
Seems like that solved the problem..
I wonder what and why and how it solved

I'd recommend flashify to flash recovery images. You can download it from the play store. So easy to make a typo and mess things up with adb and dd.
You could do it with a terminal or adb shell. Say you store the image in /sdcard
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
Verify mmcblk0p14 is recovery before you try this. I'm pretty sure that's right, but I don't have my tablet right now and you can make a serious mess of your device this way if you overwrite the wrong partition. Check it by listing your partitions with this:
Code:
su
ls -al /dev/block/platform/*/by-name
By default this little tablet does not have fastboot, but you can enable it with this method. I've zeroed out my laf partition and verified I can boot into fastboot mode, but I've never actually used it to flash anything. It just seemed like a good idea to have fastboot available to fall back on rather than LG download mode since there was no kdz available for the V410 for a long time.

Thank you! the thing is i bricked my g pad, i really dont know much about the tab because the lack of support it has. I was using it with cm12.1 and i use a stock recovery founded in Android central to revert back to stock, but in TWRP i flashed the img as recovery and also as boot, so the g pad entered in a bootloop were only enters in stock recovery, my Windows 10 laptop doesn't recognize the tab when in adb sideload, and doesn't know much about adb Shell, i'm following the comandas you wrote but i'm always getting error: closed.
i know how to get back to stock using the kdz, but using the kdz will make the partition issue and will have to folllow a looong looong process.
If you could give me a hand with this i would really apprecciate it

Sorry I've never encountered the adb closed problem myself, but I have heard about it before. Some people have reported the following series of commands fixes it:
Code:
adb usb
adb devices
adb kill-server
adb start-server
The first two commands normally don't really do anything and its pretty obvious what the second two do, but some people have reported success doing this.
Some people have reported the closed error was fixed by updating their adb binary. If you're using the android-sdk update platform-tools, or if you're using a standalone adb consider looking for an update for it.
Good luck. That procedure to get things back to normal following using the kdz to restore sounds messy.

I flashed stock rooted 4.4.2, and I want to OTA to Stock Lollipop, but it says there is no update. Any ideas of how I can get back to fully stock? Would flashing this stock recovery make it work? Is being rooted blocking the OTA update from seeing an available update?

If you applied an OTA with a custom recovery installed it might soft brick your tablet, but I don't see why that would stop it from detecting and downloading the update. It is always safest to flash stock recovery, fully unroot, and undo any modifications you've made to /system before taking an OTA, but some devices are more picky than others. With what you're describing I'm afraid that even if you do unroot and flash stock recovery your tablet still won't find the OTA.
Do you have a nandroid backup of an unmodified stock ROM you could restore?
And just so you know that lollipop bootloader is not vulnerable to the bump exploit, so no custom recovery or ROMs if you get it to apply.

Whenever I type "reboot recovery" in terminal emulator, it boots straight to factory reset. I have tried this multiple times with both dd and flashify. Do you know what causes this? I'm downloading the OTA right now, I hope it doesn't wipe then too...

please help
i was a dumbass and accidently flashed my boot instead of recovery do you by chance have a boot.img that i can use to reflash my boot.img please help as im really stuck..thanks in advance

Download the timmytim stock ROM, and extract the boot.img from it. There are probably quicker ways, but having the stock ROM on hand is a good idea.

Thank you...
I resolved my issue i had forgotten in my haste i posted the same question in two different sections. However after fixing everything my tablet was broke not the out glass but the inner display. I cant afford another one or a replacement part to even fix mine. So unless i can find one someone who bricked theirs completely or get a handme down im tabless for awhile.... Thank you though for the reply. The original boot file wouldnt work properly i had to use the boot file from the stock rooted rom and not the timmytim deoxedized rom.. i dont know why unless the bootfile is specific to each rom. Maybe i did something wromg during the flash. But i had gotten it fixed nevertheless.

Marshmallow and root

Hey. I had rooted 5.1.1 Moto X Style and did a return to stock 5.1.1. eu version (relocked bootloader). After booted up, I received update to Marshmallow, I installed it. It worked. Later I wanted to root it, so I unlocked bootloader again and also did flash custom recovery - TWRP (twrp-2.8.7.1-clark). Later I restarted device and its was stuck on logo of Motorola. Nothing boots up.
Cant find solution for this. Thanks.
UPDATE:
Solved my issue here.
UPDATE2:
If there is problems upgrading your device to Marshmallow, I would suggest install custom ROM TruPureXMM with custom KERNEL Frankenclark. I am using this combo for long period of time and now I can suggest to others too!

Mine is having a similar issue. Mine took forever to boot at your stage because it formatted itself. Once I flashed SuperSU is where mine refused to boot. I have no idea what's going on either.

I am having the exact same issue. I updated to Marshmallow, installed TWRP (twrp-2.8.7.1-clark), flashed SuperSU and the phone hung on the Motorolla Logo at boot. I was still able to access the boot loader (holidng down the volume and the power button) and attempted to restore using http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...ndows-tool-moto-x-style-pure-edition-t3199905. I was able to restore however now my wifi does not work and therefore I cannot update to Marshmallow OTA.

You need to reflash the LP radio from the restore all file ( NON-HLOS.bin ). That should do it.

I'm having the exact same issue. I'm so glad you posted. I gave up and used the restore-to-stock tool as well, but my Wi-Fi isn't working either. What is LP radio and how do I flash it? Now that I've restored to stock, I no longer have TWRP, and because I don't have WiFi, I can't update to Marshmallow.

If you want WIFI on stock 5.1.1 you need to flash right modem for you.
You should download .zip file that contains all stock files, unzip it, and find "NON-HLOS.bin", thats modem file that you need.
Now boot into fastboot mode (power+volume down), and from PC use "fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin"
Restart device, you should be okey now.
For XT1572 "STYLE" EU you can download this file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3gPYUZ4nRLwTUU4cUVmcUtBTEU/view;
But for XT1575 "PURE" US use this file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3gPYUZ4nRLwTl9Wd1JQX0hFejg/view.

Nop, could find solution, so I did full wipe, and restored my backup file with 5.1.1. Also flashed stock logo, boot and modem, so it can boot my old 5.1.1. Moto.
Will wait for some kind of european ROM with Marshmallow, or TWRP update. Maybe later will try again to go fully stock and upgrade to Marshmallow, maybe will find something that will work, right now I just need my "phone" back so I can use it as daily driver.

I just finished flashing TruPureXMM. I'm in the middle of restoring all my apps, and I still need to re-fix the WiFi, but otherwise my experience is working well. You might want to check that out.

For wifi you should flash modem from his thread: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087017262
Its Pure modem with band 12 fix.
I was using his Rom for some hours and didnt like it, my personal opinion:
Good: easy to install; twrp, supersu, xposed is working.
Bad: modified kernel (had more problems with it, it was draining battery so fast - 4 little cores was always online for ~900-1440MHz, and 1 big core always online for same frequancy as little cores, only one big core was going idle), so I didnt like all this modifications to stock kernel, also I didnt like that mine EU version now is listed as US version XT1575, and last that I noticed after some hours of usage is that on secret menu, mine 3G network was listed as WCDMA, but on EU of mine Style same 3G is using GSM auto method. I suppose that there can be some difficulties in EU countries - after changing settings to 4G, I loosed signal, and only after restart I got it back.
Thats the main reasons why I want european rom, or to modifie stock eu MM with xposed.

I think in that case I did flash SuperSU the old way for Stock Moto Marshmallow. I then did a TWRP backup to go back to full stock and tried rooting using systemless, but something isn't right. It's showing up, apps are asking for permission, but its acting odd. The apps can't get permission and Viper for example just crashes and other apps just keep saying something is wrong. My TWRP is messed up to. It was pushed correctly, but it seems very unstable. I can't flash any ROMs and if I plug it into my computer to send a file, when I reboot it no longer shows it in my directory to install. Sometimes if I hit reboot device, it only reboots recovery or just ignores the command entirely. I think I will revert it back to moto standard and try again, but this has been a little weird.

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
Where and how do I type this? I have everything else done.

Hi,
I followed this instructions and I have two problems:
It only boots using flashboot boot boot.img (in fact I can't do the fastboot reboot-bootloader command because the previous command just boots the phone)
There's no wifi, I tried flashing the modem linked before but I think that's for 5.1.1 so it didn't work

For this you need adb files on your PC.
You should read this thread, for how to get this files on your PC.
Then:
Basically, open terminal within adb driver folder, connect phone via USB to PC with USB Debugging ON, and you are ready to go - boot your phone into fastboot mode (shut down phone first, and then power+volume down) and now your are ready to use this command: fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin, but remember to put this "NON-HLOS.bin" file into folder where you opened terminal from.
But if you experience problems, I suggest just install TruPureXMM ROM. It whould be much easier!
Good luck!

Hello!
Have you read my other thread?
I have explained all my steps there, my device is Moto X Style (XT1572).
But I can suggest also use TruPureXMM ROM. Right now I am using this rom for about month, you could try it!
Good luck!

No luck with reflashing NON-HLOS.bin
I tried systemless root on my moto x pure marshamallow. Now the wifi is not working at all. I tried reflashing the NON-HLOS.bin but no luck there. Is there any way to solve this issue? Or should i revert back to lollipop seems like it is working just fine for others on lollipop.

Lets start from beginning.
What is your device codename (region)?

PLEASE HELP!!! Phone stuck in bootloop, will not boot. Will not boot into recovery.

I've had my Moto X Pure for over a few months now. After rooting it, i installed TWRP 3.0.2 and have had different roms and not come across any problems regarding a hard brick. I was using my phone on the CM 13 Rom, and it was bugging out, so i tried to reboot. After trying to reboot, it would come to the WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED SCREEN and not boot past that, let alone get into the actual loading screen. Now, i cant boot into twrp. When i try to enter recovery mode, it goes to the TWRP screen, and sits there without proceeding. I cant boot the phone, or boot into recovery. I can only boot into the bootloader. ANY AND EVERY ADVICE IS APPRECIATED THANK YOU!!!
Edit: I fixed it. had to manually extract and reflash some files from a very useful restore to stock tool.

If your able to boot into bootloader you can try to reflashTWRP or flash the original recovery and the original system files.

When i try to enter recovery mode, it goes to the TWRP screen, and sits there without proceeding. I cant boot the phone, or boot into recovery. I can only boot into the bootloader. ANY AND EVERY ADVICE IS APPRECIATED THANK YOU!!!

Can you get it into fastboot mode? If you can, it sounds like somehow the recovery is corrupt and you would need to use 'fastboot erase recovery' first, and then 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' (using the twrp .img flashable file of course)
I hope that does the trick. Only think I can think of other than that is look for the automated return to stock tool for the moto x 2015 and use that.

thanks

Great news! You're very welcome. I was in that exact same situation with my old Xperia Z2. It's pretty scary.

Can you tell us what fixed it? Do you know if it was firmware related? Was it the recovery? I have multiple people on this device all on custom software, always interested to find the cause of these types of issues for future reference. And most importantly, glad you got it resolved!

I honestly have no idea what the problem was. But i downloaded and used someones lollipop restore to stock tool, literally restoring to the original state you got the phone in, and it worked. I believe it had something to do with the rom, and possibly some xposed modules i had installed, but there was nothing that actually messed around with the phone's system files. I couldn't access recovery in anyway whatsoever, but my advice to you is that if you ever need help because the phone is potentially hard-bricked, see if it connects to PC and if it does use the restore to stock tool.

Were you on marshmallow before you used the restore to stock tool? I thought downgrading android versions was a no-no currently.

It's possible, through tools like this. I don't know too much of the topic.

Old thread. But can you at least get into TWRP recovery? Why won't it let you wipe? Like what does it say?

Nothing it just vibrates as soon as i hit factory reset then bootloops now it wont even go into recovery just fastboot screen but cant get fastboot to work at all and have all drivers android studio etc. Nothing will work need a new solution

It was hash kernel it corrupted all 64 gigs of storage and music etc. Had to return to stock via auto flash firmware.

Mine is XT1572 device. Since the mentioned tool was not available for this model, I took the chance with XT1575 tool. It did all the steps but the issue has become worse. Now, my device is automatically getting On and OFF in seconds and does not boot beyond the bootloader 'unlocked' warning screen. Please please please help !!!!

How do I update my 6T rooted without erasing datas?

Dear all,
first of all I would like to be sorry if I'm saying something worng. I'm not so expert about Android world.
I've got a OnePlus 6T that I've rooted with the help of a friend some months ago.
Not it's a lot that I keep see the notification abount the OS update and I keep skipping it but it's bothering me so... I searched for a guide and I found this (https://oneplus.gadgethacks.com/how...thout-losing-root-no-computer-needed-0192638/) (I hope I can post it also if it's from another website).
It seems so simple, I've downloaded the OTA update, the TWRP and the Magisk. My issue is that whene I reboot to the recovery I'm not booting into TWRP but I suppose into the OnePlus recovery instead.
I searched angain and found this other guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/official-oxygenos-9-0-4-ota-oneplus-6t-t3860953) that is more complete but I can't understand if it's the proper guide I need to follow to update my device keeping it rooted and most of all without loosing any data.
Thanks,
Riki

The first guide you linked to is wrong. Do not follow that. That is why you don't have TWRP anymore. The second guide you linked to on XDA is correct. Follow the TWRP guide. Once you have TWRP reinstalled.
You must download the zip from the second link you posted here at XDA.
Flash the Zip in TWRP. This flash the update to the opposite slot. It also wipes out TWRP and replaces it with the stock recovery.
Now you must reinstall TWRP. Flash the TWRP installer. This will flash TWRP to both slots.
Now reboot to recovery. This will reboot to the new slot where you update was just flashed.
This is when you install Magisk to the updated slot. You MUST do this.
Now reboot to system after you installed Magisk.
Now you have updated without losing any data.
The guide in the second link says to use the Magisk uninstaller. I've personally never done this. This is probably for people who use all sorts of weird add-ons and such. I don't know. Never uninstalled Magisk, never had a problem. That's all I can say. You can try it, or you can follow the official instructions.

Thanks OhioYJ,
so, before I can follow the TWRP guide, I must reinstall it. Could you please give me a link to a guide on how to do it?
Thanks again,

[Guide] OnePlus 6T [Fajita]: Unlock | Flash TWRP | Root | Nandroid & EFS Backup !!
Thanks to Funk Wizard again. Don't forget the section about backing up your modem, this is always important in case something really goes wrong. You'll probably never need it, but if you ever do you'll be really glad you have it.

I'm only able to enter the recovery mode and the fastboot mode but when I launch the command from Windows it finish with no error but the phone still stuck on the fastboot logo or the oneplus logo. After many tryes now I've got only this and also errors on PC:
Old_video_link_removed
EDIT: At the moment I'm not event able to enter the recovery mode, I keep restarting it and it will only boot to the fastmode.

It's booting into recovery, but the OnePlus recovery. That is what the menu that is asking you to select a language is. When you enter the command fastboot boot trwp.img you don't get any sort of error? Or the phone doesn't respond?

Sounds like you're not running the command from the folder where fastboot.exe is located.
Makes me wonder why you did it this way in the first place. And why people suggested it. Easiest way to install updates on a rooted 6T is to install the update through the normal updater without rebooting, going to Magisk Manager and selecting install to inactive slot and rebooting only after that. That's really all there is to it.

Fastboot was working until I reinstalled adb and OnePlus drivers.

I didn’t know any other way. That’s why I asked how to do it. Anyway I’m running the command from the right folder. Maybe something broke on my laptop.
Yesterday evening I tried from a new laptop windows 10, installed adb and OnePlus driver for the first time and I was able to run the commands without the error not finding the command but:
Fastboot boot twrp.image returned me an error
If I run fastboot flash boot twrp.image it does not give me error but the phone does not response. It only boot to the boot loader.

Try uninstalling adb. Delete the whole folder and install it again. Try updating your netframework on your PC and the latest C++

I'm creating a new tread about the issue and the state where I am because now I can't update or keep data, I just need to recover the phone to a normal state.

Flashing the fastboot rom would probably have gotten you back in and maybe with your data in tact. Now fair warning I'm a Linux user anyways, but really fastboot and adb are so much easier in Linux. For people that have issues, it sometimes is easier just to make a bootable USB / CD of Linux Mint or Ubuntu and then from Synaptic or the Package manager install adb and fastboot. No drivers or anything else to install, everything will just work.
Last time I got stuck in fastboot I just used the fastboot ROM to get back to bootable.

Those fastboot roms have sure saved me from raging before
I would also recommend using migrate, it's in the play store and it backs up all your data and then puts it in a flashable zip

Do a factory reset from TWRP and flash the full ROM.

One best method...and the method that works 100% tested for upgrading a rooted OOS to new OOS version without any loss of data, without any issues.
I'll mention the guide that I have used to upgrade from 9.0.12 rooted to 9.0.13 rooted. Without any loss of data
Download latest OOS full ROM
Boot to TWRP
Flash OOS 9.0.13
Flash TWRP installer zip
Reboot system
Phone will boot.
Now go back to recovery mode
Flash Magisk if u want root again
Done
No confusion. No data loss. Not being stuck. Sweet and Simple.

So I don't have to wipe my system data or anything. I heard some people had the problem of getting stuck or that there was a red warning screen that popped up when booting, and I'm not talking about the bootloader message. I'm currently on 9.0.11. Also should I download the latest version of TWRP or should I use the one I'm using currently. Don't wanna mess anything up. Another guide I read said I should flash the oos rom, then TWRP, than magisk
