First, thank you for any help!
I did look threw the forums, as best I could... I did see any solutions here that worked for me... saw some one another site.. they did not work.
I can no longer get into ANY recovery boot... Every time I do the buttons, to go into recovery... it show "booting into recovery" blinks, vibrates... and then boots into the phone in normal mode....
I recently had to flash it to stock with Odin.... which lost my root.... I tried to install TWRP , so I could root it... did not work... then used KINGOROOT, to root it, which it claims DID work (the rooting) , after two tries... and then it did allow me to go into "stock recovery" mode...
...so i then flashed TWRP with Odin... and ... now, again, I get not get ANY recovery mode to come up.
ARGH!!!!!!!
Please help??
I have a N900T.
Android 5.0
Baseaband: N900TUVUFOL1
I believe it is rooted now
As long as you're flashing the correct file, it should work.

I am flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0 which is the SAME file I used when I flashed it... a year ago?
I know that there is a new version of TWRP... but I have heard there are problems with the newer TWRP flashing ROM's....
On another site, someone said that the problem was that if you flash back to stock, the new (stock) bootloader has a line it it, to check that you can only use stock recovery file... ... >sigh<....
My "simple" project... to upgrade my phone... has become a night mare.....
2.8.7.0-hltetmo?
If it doesn't work, try cwm.

Got it fixed!!
Figured I would say how, in case someone else has the same problem.
I had already rooted the phone with "Kingoroot" , when I was trying to put TWRP on...
By downloading and running "TWRP MANAGER" from the play store, it was able to install it on my phone, and I am now able to boot into recovery.
Good luck!!

Read more, fixing your phone is pretty basic stuff. But anyway this isn't "stock" way to fix things(cause i'm too lazy to write all steps and I prefer to use this when i want to get clean install), but easy and fast if you follow instructions.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/how-to/install-emui-4-1-4x-4c-g-play-g-play-t3515702
Also check root tutorial from "MEGA-THREAD ALE-L21, ALE-L23, ALE-L02, Converting, Root, Unbrick, Updating, Xposed". There is 1.zip file which makes you able to install SuperSu in system-less mode which doesn't cause bootloop.

What do you mean you can't flash TWRP? What kind of error fastboot gives when you try to flash?

Hey guys, I'm a little devastated. Hoping I didn't ruin my phone.
So, earlier today I unlocked my Moto G4 Plus's bootloader and installed TWRP recovery. I installed ElementalX and a superuser.zip file as well. After reboot, there was no superuser in my app drawer and when I checked my root status with Phh's Root Checker, it said that my phone was not rooted properly. I then found the guide here on how to root, and noticed that it had Phh's SuperUser. I changed the config.txt file like mentioned in the guide, booted into TWRP recovery and installed it and clicked on reboot. I got the usual bootloader unlocked message, but after that my screen went blackish-grey and has been that way since, which is about 15-20 minutes now. I (panicking and being a noob) tried switching it off using the power button which didn't work. I then checked to see if it showed up as connected device in android sdk/fastboot, which it didn't.
WHAT DO I DO? I can't just buy another phone since I can't afford it as I recently bought this one, so it's a really big deal for me. :crying:
PLEASE HELP ME.
Thank you.
UPDATE.
Hey guys,
First of all, thank you for the replies. I'm sorry I couldn't reply to them.
Secondly, a few things have happened since the OP. Keep in mind I had absolutely NO internet during the following events, so I couldn't do any research.
The night my phone went black screen, I went to sleep thinking i'll let it die out of battery and work the rest out in the morning. So the next morning I put the phone on charge and went into the bootloader. I tried doing a normal reboot which didn't work (I got the same screen) so I went into into bootloader again, connected the phone to my computer (it got recognized this time) and re-flashed TWRP. I went into recovery mode on the phone and tried re-flashing ElementalX and superuser. This time I got an error when trying to flash the superuser.zip, and the error was:
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/superuser.zip'
I had another supersu.zip in my phone storage, tired installing it and got the same error.
When I tried doing a normal reboot into my system, it goes on a boot loop on the "your device is unlocked" screen and has been that way ever since.
What do I do now?
Should I try to re-flash TWRP and superuser with the right files, or should I restore stock recovery? I don't have any backup. (noob mistake)
I'd highly appreciate it anyone linked me the proper twrp and superuser or stock recovery files and if possible guided me on what to do.
PLEASE HELP ME.
thank you.
UPDATE #2
So I did what abhi212b told me to do and flashed the stock rom. Everything is fine now.
I'll try rooting it again a bit later. Thanks for the help.
UPDATE #3
I tried rooting my phone again, and it went flawlessly this time! Rooted successfully.
What an emotional rollercoaster lol.
Push the power button for at least 2-3 minutes. Worked for me and others in the past.

Like the poster above stated, hold the power button until the screen shuts off. YOUR PHONE WILL AUTO REBOOT!!! The instant the screen turns off, begin holding the volume down button. When you see the fastboot screen pop up, begin flashing your N images again, or use a custom ROM (which are generally much faster, easier to mess with, and easier to recover from).
Ex didn't flash properly.. That is what I can estimate! If u root on stock kernel, it breaks the device.
As said above go to bootloader (works on any screen... Power and volume down) and then to twrp maybe (flash twrp from fastboot). And then restore any previous nandroid u have.. If not u will have to flash stock via fastboot and then flash ex kernel. When u flash, restart and go to about phone and see if the kernel shows elemental x.. If yes, go to twrp and root it via suoersu, phhh's superuser or magisk su.. Whichever u like.. That should be fine!

That won't help!
Best is that u should flash stock rom, since the phone is bootlooping...
U can find it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369
Flash it on bootloader screen via fastboot.
Do not relock the bootloader. Skip that step and also do NOT flash bootloader.img and partition. That can mess up the device.
once this is done, boot the device once... Finish the setup and then flash twrp.. Then flash ex kernel then flash any root Zip. (supersu, magisk or phhh's superuser)
Twrp can be found from here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...p-twrp-3-0-2-2-recovery-moto-g4-plus-t3386586

Thank you, will try this now.
Only the last SuperSU Beta defaults to systemless install. Any other ones require writing of a .SuperSU file to force systemless before rooting.

If you have not done this already, you can give it a try by flashing the stock boot.img via twrp and see if that boots the device.
I am not sure that it will work since, i have not tried it.
Exact same thing with the XT1625. I have also found that the systemless method of rooting with SuperSU kills my wifi and cellular network's connection abilities, which might just be a standard G4 thing but the only way I know of to fix it is reflashing the OS (data wipe not necessary).
Just thought this might be helpful to anyone who ran into similar issues to the ones I had.
also i'm still having issues with the stupid thing actually rooting but i'm gonna try again some other day.

I think that is the kernel issue.. you should try EX.. and then use SuperSU or maybe use Magisk SU..

Had the same problem as OP and this fixed it, thanks a lot man!
Good to hear now the phone is alive!
Heyy guys, this is my first time posting a new thread
Unfortunately, my phone is stuck in TWRP recovery. When it was still working I downloaded Flashify. I don't remember what but when it restarted the phone, it stayed in TWRP recovery and never went back to normal. I tried wiping my phone several times and still won't go back. Then I pressed the option Change or Repair System File or something like that. But I put the wrong option on that menu and now it is completely stuck on the TWRP startup screen , I can't enter TWRP at all.
I tried everything that I possibly could. I even tried flashing a different version of TWRP and Philz Touch but still didn't budge. If y'all have any possible solutions, please speak up. My phone has been like this for about 6 days :crying:
I'm downloading the stock firmware of my model SM-G928F (G928FXXSBPIB). That's the only thing that I think that could possibly make it work. Do y'all think the same or is there something else I could do?
Go in download mode and flash that stock firmware that you downloaded.

Ok so now if you want to root your phone. first install twrp and make sure oem is unlocked. Then when you boot into twrp make sure you dont select that option at the start otherwise you will keep booting into twrp continuously. Next flash cf auto root and then go back into twrp and enable that option that was disabled before you rooted your phone. You should be fully rooted with no errors.
Has anyone ever seen an error in download mode that says:
Error: cannot validate device tree table
Can't get fdt
I have no idea how this happened.
Are you rooted?
Yeah. Also I should have said above that this is more of general android question as this is not on my V20 but a tablet. I rebooted to twrp, and a wrong version of xposed flash. It just failed and said wrong version. Ive seen this a before. No big deal. Then only reboots to recovery and download mode. I can't flash a stock firmware. I've screwed some stuff up and fixed it but this sounds bad.

I should also mention that I have successfully flashed a new ROM but only rebooted to recovery. I can though see the system files in twrp file manager. It scares me it's corrupt. Here's a pic
