Bootloop Help After Trying To Root 7.1.1

So I flashed the 7.1.1 update and everything was fine. I then tried to root through TWRP with the most recent version of recovery and and SuperSu and when I went to reboot it would get to the "Google" splash screen and go back to the warning. I then tried to restore to my Nandroid that I made right before the 7.1.1 flash but it does the same thing. I ended up doing a factory reset, still looping. I tried flashing an old firmware but it still would loop. I got desperate and did a full wipe and then flashed the old firmware from September's update but it still will not boot. I'm a long time lurker I just don't post much. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Nope. And so are other folks.
But if you can, there's still hope to save your device.

What version of twrp were you using?? Also what company makes the storage (not memory) on your device?

Have you tried installing custom ROM, instead of a stock one?
And tell us what @ArminasAnarion asked for. There may be a pattern here. :good:

I haven't tried a custom ROM. I'll try that if I get any down time at work. Also, I'll check for you @ArminasAnarion in a bit.

Might be a noob question, but how do I get the custom rom files over to my phone to flash in recovery?

Well if you cant access twrp then your not flashing anything; did you try downloading the latest Nexus 6p factory image and using adb to flash it?? If you need help with that I can lay it out for you. Also there was an efs partition issue with twrp 3.0.2-1 and down so make sure your twrp is 3.0.2-2!

I can access TWRP. I haven't tried the latest factory image, only September's release. I just tried a custom rom and it gets to the Google screen but then loops just after the G starts to animate.

Make sure your using twrp 3.0.2-2; and download the latest factory image for the Nexus 6p (NBD90X) and use adb (fastboot) to flash that whole thing. Extract the files to your android sdk platform tools folder then run the flash-all.bat file. (If you are using a 64gb or 128gb device DONT DO THIS) Only do this with the 32gb model. If its a 64 or 128 model go here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928 and go to sub section 10.

Newest image didn't work either..

Have you tried WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit? Not sure if it will work for your situation, but it has an option to restore to factory settings and unroot if you're soft-bricked or bootlooped. Might be worth a shot if everything else isn't working.

FWIW, I successfully updated to 7.1.1 NPF10C and rooted by using fastboot to flash bootloader, radio, boot, system, and vendor. Then used TWRP 3.0.2-2 to flash SuperSU 2.78 SR1. No issues.

Moto G5 Plus Stock ROM

I did factory reset my Moto G5 Plus, and now I am left with custom ROMs only. Where can I download the stock Motorola ROM for the Moto G5 Plus?

No Stock ROM can not be flashed via twrp, only the OTA zips can be flashed via stock Recovery. This is the link to the fastboot ROM.

As I mentioned above. Moreover you can flash UnSU and then root using Magisk. Magisk allows hiding root detection for Safetynet.

Assuming that you have set up adb/fastboot drivers, extract all the rom files to that folder and type in the commands mentioned here :

I unlocked the bootlader and rooted the phone before giving it to my wife. During that whole process, fastboot had no problems recognizing the phone (obviously). Then my wife tried to update via the OTA which got her stuck in TWRP. I'd like to reflash the stock ROM, but the problem I have is I can't use fastboot to do commands line by line (as shown in the link above) since "fastboot devices" doesn't show my phone anymore. I was able to get her going on a custom ROM for now, but I'd like to put her back on the stock ROM so we won't encounter this problem again. I've reinstalled the Motorola driver several times, but no luck. ADB has no problems recognizing the phone when in recovery. One thing that happened recently was a big update to Windows 10, but I'm not sure if that is the reason for my fastboot issues.
I intend to give it a go on another computer once I get the phone again from the wife, but any advice until then would be appreciated.

Thanks. I've installed a custom ROM but im not happy with the results (specially the poor camera performace). Will this "undo" everything? I mean, stock apps, stock widgets, etc etc? (don't care if the bootloader stays unlocked and the warning moto message while booting). I know this may be a stupid question, but like Homer would say: "it's my first day"

Just a follow up to my previous post, I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the Motorola driver and ADB on the original computer, but for some reason it still won't "see" the phone in fastboot. I was able to install ADB/Fastboot and the Motorola driver on a separate computer (also Windows 10) to get fastboot to recognize the phone so I could issue commands to reinstall the stock firmware. I noticed, though, that the following commands FAILED when I entered them:
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
I'm not sure what those were for, but the phone seems to be working fine on the stock firmware now.

I flashed the one in the retail folder and it says ret-EU in the settings so flash that one

Phone has no OS at all after rooting

After doing the root method located here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/instruction-to-root-h918-10i-t3536472 my phone only boots into twrp and only has the twrp file on it. When i try to reboot into system it just sends me right back into twrp. I have no idea how that happened and i might of done the impossible but, is there any way to fix it? It's a T-Mobile 10j V20
Update: Tried installing therom from: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-maximum-ovrdrive-lg-v20-v2-0-t3518475 and yet it still only shows twrp folder and wont boot to the start screen

Yeah, MEGAROM wise it will take you into aroma installer which you can choose exactly what you want, like you can chose to flash magisk or supersu, lg sounds or pixel etc... Of everything else fails then just grab kdz file and flash through lg up

That is awesome! I hope it finally works and lets me see that beautiful start screen

It did not, and LGUP isnt working with a Failed to load error (5)

sounds like ur in a twrp loop.. are you checking to see if system is getting mounted in twrp?
there are a few ways to fix a twrp loop, try booting into recovery using the vol down method, and see if just hitting reboot works,
if not, fastboot commands that address this would be fastboot erase etc; fastboot erase misc ; fastboot erase fota ; and then reboot and see if it boots.
be aware boot up times take a lot longer then usual when you root, as the aboot is a little slower.
you could also try the twrp file manager route and delete the above directories also, etc/misc/fota/cache
if you have never done a FORMAT data with twrp you need to do that 1st and remove encryption as the stock rom is encrypted and will not boot after root.
Wipe using format data, type yes, then wipe the directories i mentioned and then flash the stock rom mentioned by the other member then reboot and let it sit for 15min. If it dosn't instantly shoot you back to twrp then ur good, just wait wait wait for that long 1st boot to complete.

Couldn't update Installation problem with august update

So this week i hadn't time enough to install the august update since my phone is rooted so i decided to do it now. What i did before trying to download the update :
1.Deleted all magisk modules that i had then rebooted
2.Unistalled magisk using restore image then rebooted
3.Went to sys update downloaded and it says installation failed
What do to? I'm not rooted now and i don't have twrp installed.
PS. don't want to install it via fastboot/miflash

Follow this guide in future. https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md#ota-installation-tips

You will more than likely need to format data. This will cause you to loose everything. But that is what you are seeing, those folders, are your data. Just encrypted.
Also make sure you are on the latest version of TWRP. Sometimes the older unsupported version had encryption errors.

Omg this saddens me! So there's no way I am unable to at least retrieve my pictures?

First time entering in twrp after flashing update, I did not get folder to flash magisk, did a reboot and get it, just a bad encryption code I think
Did u flash rom or anything else before getting this problem ?

Yup, I sure did! 4am couldn't sleep so I thought I would finally put a fingerprint mod on; which I have done this before with no issues. For the life of me, I don't remember which mod I tried to install thru Magisk.
My phone is currently stuck on "Phone is starting"
I also think it's time to look into some sort of automatic back up service..... Got any ideas?

I saw this happen when I used the official TWRP app.
It went away when I used this TWRP. Hope that helps.

I'm glad you already know not to use the MSM tool. Too many people jump straight to this.....
You just need to boot the correct recovery and your data will decrypt, and you will be able to back it up to a PC, then you can reload your ROM via TWRP or Fastboot to get the phone bootable again. So now it's a question of what ROM were you running before. Do you need a recovery with the latest security patch or something older? What TWRP are you running. Try 3.3.1-6 psychen6 linked too first. Boot that image from Fastboot. See if your password/pin will work to decrypt your data.
