need some help when I nandroid i get a lock up at zoneinfo.version
so i then reboot the recovery via adb
i then try to reboot the phone
then my phone won't boot i.e. it shows the HTC splash screen then it reboots into recovery.
the only way to get it back is to flash a new rom or go back to a previous nandroid
edit: i was running cwm 2.5.0.2 and cwm 3
if I restore the system partition it will boot but I still can't nandroid

I remember reading somewhere (dont remember exactly where) that you can make a nandroid backup before rooting or flashing a custom recovery.
This was done by booting into fastboot mode and running the custom recovery, not flashing, just running it. This would preserve the stock recovery as a custom recovery is not flashed, but would still allow you to make a backup of the stock rom without root and without a custom recovery.
Is this a possible method for making a nandroid backup of the stock rom? Which would allow you to return to stock after rooting and installing custom roms?
fastboot boot recovery CWM.img (or whatever you have called the recovery image) will boot into CWM but not flash it and you can then make a nandroid

One more question, even if you have a nandroid of the stock rom, wouldnt your device still show up as tampered and unlocked? Is there a way to remove that AFTER returning to the stock rom..?

Hi, you again
That didn't work for me with CWM, but it didn't work after I flashed it either. It just failed to back anything up.
I didn't try it with TRWP though, in theory you're correct.

How do I get into recovery without being able to boot into system and the hardware recovery method doesn't work?
New to this device. Had no problem rooting, installing CWM 6028 and getting into CWM either via hardware or booting recovery from the rooted stock.
I installed [ROM][LB][UB] eXistenZ v7.0.0 and it came up great with no problems. Installed Root Explorer and TiBu w/o problem. Booted into CWM recovery from system without problem. Restored some files system data with TiBu. Rebooted and went into a boot loop where the boot animation comes up and then the phone reboots. I managed to turn the phone off by holding power and vol+. But, on reboot I can no longer into CWM recovery. I want to reflash the rom, or restore a backup either to stock or the working new rom.
I can get fastboot to recognize the phone but don't know a command to boot into recovery. I'm certain that the CWM Recovery is still valid. I just need to get into CWM one time!
HELP!
Hi, after flashing a stock recovery and rebooting, my phone keeps booting into fastboot and won't boot into the OS. I can get to my recovery, which is Philz Touch. Is there any way I can get out of fastboot and into the actual phone?
(Note: I freaked out when I saw this.)

Summary:
1. Flash factory image onto phone successfully
2. Install twrp and make a backup
3. Restore backup after reboot and I'm stuck in a bootloop
I have a new fi Moto x4 running Android 8.1 that I'm attempting to set up. I've reset this phone a bunch of times so here is the standards process:
1. Flash factory firmware as shown in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-official-factory-t3808348
I'm using: PAYTON_FI_OPW28.46-13_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
2. After flashing, start up the phone and it works fine.
3. Reboot into the bootloader and boot to twrp using: fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-payton.img
4. Copy in the twrp install file using: adb push twrp-installer-payton-3.2.3-1.zip /sdcard
5. Install the zip via the twrp Install function
6. Reboot the phone into the bootloader then start recovery
7. Use the twrp Backup function to create a backup of the Boot, Data and System partitions on Internal Storage (plenty of space).
8. Reboot the phone into the bootloader then start recover
9. Use the twrp Restore function to restore the backup. Finishes fine.
10. Reboot phone to system but the load won't finish. Phone just alternates between the Android One and the Motorola splash screens. Left it for an hour at one point just to be sure. No love.
Things I have tried:
1. Using twrp via fastboot boot and a hard install
2. Making backups to the internal and external memory cards
3. Changing the partitions in the backup
4. Wiping everything except the external sim card before performing a restore
If anyone has any thoughts I would love to here them.
Thank you!
I'm having a similar problem and found this old thread. I am on stock pie rooted and made a twrp backup this morning so that I could try flashing some custom ROMs. After successfully installing a custom ROM I attempted to restore the backup and return to stock but just get bootloop. I am able to get back to to twrp and the phone will boot after a factory reset, but even if I just restore data I get bootloop. I'm wondering what I am doing wrong with restoring the backup. Any thoughts? Thanks.
I have the same problem as you are. After I finished install all applications, I made a backup with twrp-3.2.3-1-payton. Then next day I restore it from the backup, after finished backup, it goes to bootloop forever. My version is OPWS28.46.21.12, I download stock rom OPW28.46-13 but afraid to flash this rom since it is the lower version might be break the phone if not backward compatible. Then I search the web and found your message and follow this side fund a higher version of the stock rom OPWS28.46-21-14. I download it and flash it. After flashing complete and boot up, it saying new OTA update available, I don't want to update the rom since I want my phone rom version is same as the stock rom I have downloaded into my PC just in case in the future I accidentally doing something wrong I can flash back the stock rom without worrying the backward compatibility problem.

I'm a bit slow on the response - but my first thought is manually flash stock rom over your restore without wiping data
I'm able flash the latest stock rom of FI_9.0_PPWS29.69-26-4 and reinstall twrp-3.2.3-1-payton. Then I restore data only that backup from previous rom, I get bootloop again after restore the data only from TWRP. The I reflash FI_9.0_PPWS29.69-26-4 again, install twrp and root it with Magisk. Restore data from cloud google drive automatically. And this time is successfully without bootloop.
