I have a 8704V, that's stuck in bootloop now while trying to install LineageOS. I found a QFIL flashable rom but that also didn't work. My tab4 now just boot-loops on the lenovo screen.
I have twrp and fastboot working.
Is anyone with a 8704V and TWRP, willing to make a backup of his boot, recovery and system/system-image partition; and share it with me.? Thanks in advance.

Responding to my own post, as it could help other in the future.
I spent days trying to work with QFIL and TWRP.
But the simplest solution is to use the 'Lenovo Smart Moto Assistant'. It's such a powerful tool. The firmware can be downloaded and flashed with a few clicks. The tab was back to life in a few minutes. The way it worked, seems like it also used the edl mode. I don't see any reason to use QFIL on a Lenovo device again, which was such a pain.
Do you mind sharing what version of twrp worked for your TB-8704V?

Yes. You installed official twrp 2.8.7.0?? I didn't try updating twrp through twrp. If I did I could've provided assistance.
I can't take anything easily, so if at all I have something new to do, I'll start from the beginning. Lol.

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.

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

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.

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 !!!!
Hi xda,
I'm new into the world of flashing so any help would be nice.
I used this tuto:
https://rootmydevice.com/tutorials/root-samsung-galaxy-a40/
and downloaded twrp image from this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a40/development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-a40-t3968586
After flash phone restarted as intented but it keeps booting, I tried also some methods how to enter recovery mode while bootlooping but they didn't work out. I also want to flash pixel experience rom.
Thanks for any help provided.
Use the TWRP from this thread.
Your TWRP is not working anymore with actual firmware.

Hello everyone, I was looking for ways to root my Lenovo M10 TB-X306X and went as some guides told, mainly following this one https://v2.kushmittal.us/m10.html but my device got stuck in bootloop and couldn't use it since. Could any one of you point me to a guide where I can re-flash correct images? I can access fastboot on the device but I lack the files needed to make it working again.

I guess you could try LMSA to flash the stock ROM back.
Problem caused: Factory reset in custom ROM, causing the phone to boot into twrp (even when plug in charger)
Method: refer to post #6 below
Anghirrim_shared_drive (Maintained by Anghirrim)
OP: Tried to perform a factory reset on LOS 14.1, it didn't go as plan. The phone boots into twrp, after I tried to flash LOS 14.1 over MM_rootable. The phone keeps booting into twrp, even though there is a ROM installed.
I assume I messed my boot partition tho?
Did more searching on this issue, from other model of phone also experiencing similar issue. It was a twrp bootloop.
my best bet is to grab a boot.img and flash it.
@Anghirrim sorry to interupt you, but do you have any method for fixing this?
Currently stuck at twrp. even I tried to boot into system/ download mode/ bootloader etc. It just bring me back to twrp. Couldn't use LGUP becoz I can't get into download mode. now I stuck with a phone with only twrp.
Tried flashing MM_flashable and return flashed successfully, but still boot into twrp.
Edit: Tried to plug my phone into a charger, brings me into twrp

Hi, did you try to factory reset it under stock flashable firmware ? Because if you did so, it will bootloop into TWRP trying to reach stock recovery.

Yes there is. Can you first have a look at my Google Drive? I think I uploaded a .txt file with the instructions.

Phone flashed, still trying out the ROM.
will give an update a week later
@Anghirrim Nice ROM, everything I wanted is included in the rom.
but I have some problem with magisk manager, it wasn't working. (coz I want to get root)
1. How to get twrp
2. and therefore flash magisk manager
Edit: Nah, just have to redo it. Everything was good.
Maybe one day I should port AEX to another phone (cough cough Galaxy S2 cough cough).
