Hi, I have a D806 G2 and I have a big problem.
After an error modifying my build.prop I was left with a broken phone. It wouldn't boot to the os.
I was rooted and with TWRP so I restarded and tried to revert to the old build.prop (that's the only backup I had) and it didn't work.
I followed the tutorials to go back to stock (I had done it once before to update my phone while rooted, but that time the phone was working fine).
Well, to my surprise, given that I only had recovery or download mode, the process started but failed with an error.
Now, I don't have a System, meaning that my system folder is empty so I really don't have an os in the phone, and all procedures to flash a rom, fail.
I have tried flashtools and everyother tool but nothing, can't put a rom in the phone.
Now I'm kinda desperated because It is too expensive for me to loose the phone (things in Argentina are far too expensive) and when I put it in download mode it clearly says ROOTED so I will have a problem with guaranty.
Please, someone give me a hand!!

Can you still get to TWRP (recovery)? Which version of TWRP are you using? Do you still have the zip file of the ROM you're on?

Sorry was too crazy to post most data.
No I don't have a backup of my rom, but I got a backup from another phone and it doesn't work
Gladly I could use a USB OTG to copy Carbon and Gapps to the phone and I could install that so the phone is working now.
The problem is going back to stock because I would need a backup of a D806 rom and I don't have one.
I'm on TWRP 2.6.3.4 and it's working fine now. Thank you very much.,
Very simple and very lucky you still can access download mode. Just using flashtools to flash TOT again then its all go back to original stock.

I would if I could, but my IMEI reads 0, hence no luck with LG software.
Luckily I could boot the phone to an AOSP rom (copied via USB OTG to my phone -I still have recovery-)
So, I have an AOSP rom, I can get a backup of a similar rom to my stock rom -from a user in another forum- and I can install that backup (foing it ATM)
BUT, my IMEI is 0 so LG software doesn't fully recognize my rom and drivers don't fully install
HELP??

I rooted the phone, everything was going good. I was playing with Exposed and I wanted to remove soft keys. I found a post to edit build.prop and I did not back up build.prop before i tried to edit it and all went all from there.
Now When i turn it on i get it booted up but it says unfortunately androidsystem.ui has stopped and wont go any farther,
I am running 4.4.2 stock rom, After this I did a factory reset hoping this to fix the problem...This did not fix it lol.
I am afraid I can not ADB it now as I do not have developer options and USB debugging....
Anyway to edit Build.prop from the computer?
if not how do i fix this?
Thank you!

First off, brick means it's as functional as a fired clay brick.
Second. ADB from recovery. If you don't have a custom recovery, factory reset.

I don't think a factory reset would help since it only wipes data and cache. He said he already tried one without success.
If you have a custom recovery installed, you have a couple of options. If adb is working, you can pull/push a fixed build.prop. Or you could find a stock build.prop and create a flashable zip for it.
If you don't have a custom recovery, as far as I know you're pretty much stuck having to flash a factory image, which means you'll lose all your data because your internal storage will be wiped.

I do not have a custom recovery as I rooted 4.4.2 and as far as I know you can not have recovery with 4.4.2 root unless you downgrade to 4.2 first, root then update, Correct?
I was wondering, Can i install custom recovery now?
Keep in mind this is my second LG G2, The first one I COMPLETELY bricked it and it wont power on, no LG image, No charge, no download mode nothing. I do not want that again as it is a paper weight now lol.

I have the Verizon version so I can't speak for others, but you only need to downgrade to the 4.2 bootloader to install the recovery and then you can go back to the 4.4 bootloader. I used AutoRec which does it all for you automatically. But at this point I don't think you'll be able to flash a custom recovery, as you either need adb access or the ability to install an apk.
Here's the guide for flashing the factory images: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
I suggest trying the TOT method first if your variant is supported
Thank you,
I believe I will trade to flash stock rom again and root from 4.4.
Wish me luck.
As i look into the TOT flash procedure I am wondering what Variant the D803 is....
I have a Telus LG G2 and I believe it is the D803....
It is fixed everyone. Thanks to everyone who helped.

I had this issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52733594
Now I'm in 4.4.2 again but with a custom recovery and backup. Ready to give it a whirl again.
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.
If you are using other device, use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/firmware-moto-x-style-pure-stock-t3272486 to find your device, but this threads links are very slow.

Looks like you flashed SuperSU but didn't flash the boot_root.img , or you can use the systemless root.

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!

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)?
I should start this off by saying that i have no idea how to root a device and i am now currently aware of how stupid my actions were.
I've searched the forums for about 2 hours now and i've yet to find a solution to this problem which is stressing me out like you wouldn't believe.
about i year ago i tried to root my Moto X Pure edition but i failed miserably so i returned to stock and lived without. This morning i decided i would try to root again but it isn't going so well.
I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/root-moto-x-style-xt1572-br-marshmallow-t3259380 And everything worked fine until i noticed that my wifi wasn't working.
I then decided to flash back to the original boot image which i found from this site: http://androiding.how/systemless-root-moto-x-style-marshmallow-mph24-49-18/ But my wifi still refuses to turn back on
By now I'm a bit stressed out and not thinking straight. I then recalled that device encryption can screw with the rooting process so i decided to factory reset (how stupid can i get.)
So now im sitting at the welcome screen and my XT1575 cant find a wifi network so im going to have to restore my device over cellular data.
What do i do!?!?!?!?!!?!?
EDIT: i just realized the first link i posted was for the XT1572. I feel so stupid. how do i restore original functionality to my device?
I have had this issue before but on a Moto X Style (XT1572). You need to flash the modem again through fastboot/ADB. You first need to download the full stock firmware and extract it on a PC. Reboot your phone into bootloader mode and run the following command through command prompt/terminal:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
You may need to do this twice as it doesn't work always first time. Refer to this post for more information:

I've learned a lot in the past two hours. I did try to reflash the modem multiple times with multiple different files without any success. I don't think the method i was following works for XT1575 specifically.
I am currently back on stock with wifi working. I like the idea of a systemless root, but i couldn't find a method that works for the Pure. So i guess i will continue to run stock until i get a new phone (that might be a while.)

Glad you managed to sort out your WiFi.
If you are on stock ROM but have tried root, it means you already have an unlocked bootloader. You could always try and flash TWRP and then flash a pre-rooted stock ROM from here:
[ROM] Flashable Stock/Rooted X1575 6.0 MPHS24.49-18-4 (May security update)
This will give you what you are after minus the stock recovery. You could then just reflash the stock recovery using fastboot/ADB:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Just download the full stock of the firmware version you flashed through TWRP and then extract and flash the respective version recovery from here:
[FiRMWARE] XT1575 PuRE FiRMWARE aNd STuFF
You should then be completely stock with root.
I tried systemless root on my XT1572 and didn't get on with it. Kept having issues so just went with full root and am happy with my phone as it is; stock 6.0.1 with full root and a few stock apps removed that I don't use/need.

Thanks for the suggestion. Before I try rooting again though, is there a way to completely backup my phone to my computer without using twrp? its a pain logging into all my app and setting everything up every time i try to root my phone.

The only app I am aware of without root is Helium. I haven't tried it personally but I think you need to have an app running on your PC and the phone connected to it. I personally use TWRP with Nandroid Manager and Titanium Backup. These both need root though. You could always make a backup through TWRP prior to flashing the pre-rooted ROM, then flash the ROM as always recommended. If you run into issues, just restore the backup through TWRP, then flash the stock recovery back through fastboot/ADB to be backup to your original state.

I think i can answer my own question now. TWRP is a "custom recovery" and after i use TWRP i can flash something over it so that i can be stock. The terminology around these parts is quite confusing
i've gone and ****ed everything up again. I flashed twrp and then tried to install a zip from the first link you provided but my phone refused to unlock
I did a factory reset from within twrp and reinstalled the zip but now my wifi isnt working again.
Is rooting always such a pain in the ass?

When rooting, there is always a risk. I have been flashing phones for over 10 years and it is always a learning experience. Even now i have occasionally done something and thought I've completely mucked up my phone. You just need to make sure you follow exactly what is stated as the procedure and if you run into problems, there is always someone at hand to help in this great forum.
Out of curiosity, did you follow the standard procedure for installing a new ROM? You will lose all data doing the standard procedure but can restore most stuff from your Nandroid backup. The steps I always do is:
1. Make a backup
2. Wipe data, system, dalvik/art and cache partitions
3. Flash your ROM
4. Wipe dalvik/art and cache again
5. Reboot

That is the standard recommended procedure for flashing all ROMs in TWRP. I have an EU XT1572 and have successfully used this ROM on my phone. The ROM contains everything you need including the modem. The modem is for the US XT1575 but worked fine on my phone. For sanities sake, I flashed the EU modem after and still had everything working.
Just another point, your phone needs to have been updated to Marshmallow before you can run one of these ROMs. If you are on Lollipop you may run into issues, especially from a radios perspective.
Another thing to point out is that all ROMs are started that you flash at your own risk. Developers will not be held responsible for anything going wrong. As long as you follow the guides and don't flash a ROM for a completely different device, you shouldn't run into any issues and more often then not can bring your phone back to a functional state if you do.
HTH,

Flash twrp
Make backup
Flash su 2.62-3
Done.
Or...
1. Flash the factory image
2. Flash TWRP
3. Flash this attachment in TWRP, which will force install SuperSU 2.78 SR-1 systemless-ly. I've shared and posted about it before in this thread.
Nothing's changed with the attached zip here, except it has the latest version of SuperSU included as of this post.
This morning I my phone pesented itself in TWRP.
Maybe this is because over the past days I repeatedly got notifications that a system upgrade wanted to install itself (I have a modified 26s X720 from Tora33).
I rejected those notifications.
Now I am stuck in TWRP and I cannot get around it. What I tried:
Reinstalling previous firmware (Tora33 26s) still on the phone
Restoring a TWRP backup from 6 months ago (TWRP didn't see it, maybe it's from a previous TWRP version, I now have v. 3.1)
Flash via fastbood factory image using Mauro's Tool All In One (error message "can't find file mke2fs.conf")
Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, system; then install Mauro_V2.2 cleansed 23s firmware which I transferred to the phone
Every time it boots up in TWRP.
Your bricked you never flash ota with twrp you should read before doing anything.
The only thing that can help is ofil.
I suggest you study well before trying it.

Oh boy. Thanks anyway. OTA flashed itself, couldn't stop it. Maybe I made it worse by trying to fix.
The bootloader is not locked according to the AIO tool. I can flash succesfully any firmware, only after flashing the phone will still boot in TWRP. It is strange it still boots in TWRP. Is there no simpler trick like flashing the standard recovery and then flashing OFW?
You mention Ofil; do you think the guide described here work?

Yes, that QFIL guide is for the x720.
In my opinion, the best way to return stock is to push update.zip into phones main folder, then install stock recovery, then in this one install update zip then check that OS is working. If it is, then go into twrp and wipe. Can't do it?
I'll mention myself;

If he was just going back stock that would work he flash 28s ota with twrp so this will not work.

No brick after OFW push 28s
The pushed (unvoluntary) update didn't brick my phone after all. This may be important for those that have modified stock ROMs with TWRP.
Not being able to restore OFW was a bug in Mauro's All-in-One tool which he fixed last night. After I could easily flash 20S or 26S stock from his repository. I would also recommend this as safest/easiest procedure. Afterwards you can just flash TWRP from the same tool and move from there.
By the way, immediately after flashing 20s the FW notified it wanted to update itself, again!
