OTA after factory reflash? - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I recently rooted my phone and then started having some battery and function issues (might be just coincidence). I decided to reflash the phone and did the 7.0 OTA which didn't work. I would get an erasing screen and then reboot, then reboot, then erase screen. So, I flashed the 6.0 ROM from Motorola (MPH24.49-18), which worked fine. I then tried a manual update to 7.0 and got the same loop. I went back to 6.0.
Question now is will I get the OTA update to 7.0? If not, how is the best way to get there.
Thanks!

Try flashing twrp through fastboot mode and try using one of the flashable stock roms on these forums, Or you could try my post and use the mfastboot and try to see if that works

N910C Problems after OTA update

I have a 910C at v.5.1.1. I received a 100MB system update a few days ago. The update seems to have been successful as everything works while phone is booted to OS. However I cannot get into TWRP when I try to boot into recovery.
I've also tried to flash TWRP using the unified toolkit and odin. I have the professional ver of toolkit which enables it to work with 5.1.1. Anyway it always boots into stock recovery and the ODIN flash won't take. When I boot to recovery it comes to the android thingy saying installing updates and then fails after a minute of so with message, "no command found." I think this is what is breaking everything. I've cleared everything and done a factory reset but still see the same behavior.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thank you,

Hi, did you able to fix your issue? I am facing same issue.

Bricked?

I was from LineageOS 14.1 and I saw a post where the Nougat update has been pushed. Decided to flash A2017U B29 and it worked fine but when I tried to update, it said failed to update. So decided to reinstall the B29 rom again, and it still failed. So I decided to flash back to my stock rom which is A2017G and my phone is now stuck at the ZTE Boot logo. Waited for more than 40 minutes, still stuck there. Decided to go back to recovery and it seems that my TWRP recovery is no longer there. Only able to go back to stock recovery. Tried factory reset, wipe cache and reboot, still stuck on boot logo. Is there any way to fix this? Basically new to Android so dont really know what I'm doing. Just following tutorials that are in this forum. Pretty much f*cked up right now. Would really appreciate if anyone could help in details as Im new to this Android scene.

Did you get this resolved?
I think the problem is caused by flashing the US version bootstack to a none US version phone. It's relatively ok to flash the system/kernel, but flashing other partitions is asking for trouble.

Need Help To Recover to Stock ROM

SOLVED: https://xiaomifirmware.com/roms/download-official-roms-xiaomi-mi-a1/
I rooted my Mi A1 and was on December 1st update.
So I had free time just now and decided to flash stock rom and update to December 2nd update.
As I was using Mi Flash tool to flash the ROM, it somehow stopped working and I don't think it flashed the ROM properly.
My phone has been in bootloop state since then with the bootloader unlocked warning screen.
Been trying to flash the ROM but Mi Flash tool kept stopped working randomly when I flash the ROM.
I tried the following with no outcome:
1) Boot into TWRP and factory reset
2) Boot into stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset
3) Flash stock ROM via Mi Flash tool (stopped working randomly, but it shows success flashing screen, just that the phone doesn't reboot)
4) Tried different version of Mi Flash tool (beta and non-beta), all stopped working randomly
5) Restarted my PC (still Mi Flash problem)
Extra info that might help:
As I am in TWRP, I can see that my phone internal storage is empty with only 1 folder (TWRP)
My bootloader is still unlocked till now

New S8 User Needing Some Help

Hey Guys,
I just bought the s8 yesterday and realised I did not have the OEM unlock and tried flashing the rom from the guide posted here but it didn't flash via odin because downgrading is not possible. I found the date trick on xda's portal and that worked for me and I flashed TWRP by odin.
I allowed system modifications and wiped all data and install no-verity-opt as well as magisk for root. Phone booted up fine and everything was working, I wanted to go to twrp to just check if it was working and it returned with Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed and well the phone is soft bricked. I was wondering is there any other way other than restoring stock firmware via odin to fix this?
OEM lock shows off in download mode still, I am waiting for the sammobile firmware (5 more hours lol) to download and just wanted to know this time around, is there a fix that I am missing or a step that I missed out so that I could reboot and twrp stays as well as the phone doesn't get soft bricked as this is my daily driver

Install rmm by pass after root before reboot. This will keep oem unlocked.

Moto G5 Plus starting problem

It's been a while since I unlocked my mobile's bootloader, following the steps of a you tube video specifically from the Tecnocat channel. Everything was going well until I thought I did not have any system because whenever I started it it went straight to recovery. Install roms and the same. Until I decided to go directly to the bootloader and start it from there. Of surprise it worked, there was no problem with the system. Everything works fine, but every time I turn off the phone and turn it on it starts in recovery and I have to boot it in fasboot mode and from there start the system. It's tedious, and for example I can not do restarts. I already reprimand the recovery from different sources, and I can not find a solution. Please help
Similar issue
I'm having a similar issue except mine started after mistakenly installing a OTA update (Sept. I think) on a xt1687. Rooted (magisk) with TWRP recovery on stock ROM. Every time I boot it goes into recovery mode, and the only way to get into the phone is through TWRP Reboot > Bootloader, then Start.
I tried flashing the latest stock ROM I could find, but still have the same issue. Only now I'm getting nagged with Install System Update New Version NPNS25.137-93-18. I know better now to follow the OTA update guides, but how do I get the phone back to the way it was before the update? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
