If you need anymore info please lmk, its 2am and im tired.
Your phone has downloaded the ZV8 update and is trying to push it at boot. It will fail every time since you're on root with cwm. Browse the Dev forum for several methods of updating to the most current build.

Ok so I've read a lot about rooting and flashing I even gave it a try but I couldn't get anything to really work once I got past root. Flashing is what I couldn't get past. I tried a few different methods but none gave me the finished product I want. I have a g1 on tmobile with stock everything again. Back to 1.6 dmd64 build. No more root with 1.0 and rc29 or whatever it was. I'm pretty confident that if I had good directions on what to do I could do it. Can a newbie get some help here!!!
I want the latest, greatest, stable stuff running on my g1. Not too much to ask is it. Thanks in advance. Any other questions just ask

Try: http://goo.gl/uSRk
Update to stock 1.6, I think by going to:
Menu > Settings > About > Software Update
After you root it, go to the market and download Superuser by ChainsDD
Then ROM Manager by ClockworkMod.
Open Rom Manager and grant Root permission.
Flash Clockwork Recovery or alternatively Amon's RA.
Plug your phone into your computer and mount it.
On your computer open up the phone's folder and drag and drop a ROM in it.
You can download them in Development, at cyanogenmod.com and I'm also working on my own that you can download at Infinimod.blogspot.com it's 2.2.1 FroYo and fast as hell.
After that shut the phone off, turn it on while holding the home button.
Wipe the phone.
Flash the .zip that you downloaded.
Wait for it to install.
Reboot.
All done, have fun!
I am stuck at flashing the new rom again. This time I'm getting E: can't open /chache/recovery/command. Any idea how to get past this and finish this ordeal. I really do appreciate any and all help!!

update. BRICKED? no matter what button combo i hit i get nothing. i hit power button it goes right to screen display of what appears to look like a mailbox with an arrow coming out of it pointing down to the little green android dude. cant get past it only way to get it off the screen is to pull battery. im guessing i have a paper weight.
Try going back into your recovery, mount usb, and recopy the ROM. Usually you'll get that error due to the ROM being copied wrongly and it happens very often although it may seem like it copied just fine.
I have a Moto G XT1072. I had unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted it a while ago. I did not install any custom rom.
I was completely unaware of TWRP's lack of support for OTA upgrades, so when my phone notified me that there was an update available, I was like "oh, cool, okay" and downloaded it.
a) The download finished, the phone rebooted and TWRP recovery popped up.
b)"Mh, I guess I have to find the update file and flash it, probably"
c) Of course I didn't find it, so I googled and found out that if I want to install an OTA update I have to flash back the stock recovery and I might lose root. "Not worth it, thanks, maybe when 6.0 comes out"
d) So I rebooted the phone. Boot screen with motorola logo shows up, phone boots normally, I insert my sim card pin, set the alarm for tomorrow morning (6:00 am, fml) and *poof*, phone shuts down and reboots in TWRP.
e) back to point d.
Recap: I downloaded the update but I didn't install it, phone boots normally (I can even go in settings), but after 30 seconds it shuts down and reboots in TWRP. I do not care about the update, I just hope I can avoid re-rooting or even wiping.
I've got the exact same problem as you. Stupid to not have thought this could've happened with TWRP installed. Additional problem is, I have removed everything ''root-related'' (adb, fastboot), because I thought I wouldn't need it anymore. TWRP is obviously still on my mobile, but that's about it. I have already made a backup in TWRP (don't think it will help, because I'm afraid it will backup as boot trap), but who knows if it may help.
Back to the point, I'm a noob with rooting, I don't even know how I've managed to root it in the first place, but I'm stuck with the same problem as you are but without the required tools (at least, that's what I think)...
UPDATE: So my phone finished the backup, I turned it off to charge my battery, I fired it back up after an hour (normal way, not TWRP way), and it all of the sudden works again. It doesn't boot trap anymore and it seems like I'm able to use every function properly again. After those 30 seconds (where it usually rebooted), I now got the message that the installation had failed and that I should try again later. I don't know if there's any logical explanation for this or if this is pure luck, but I'm glad it's working again! I don't know if this will help for you as well ricvail, but I think it's at least worth a shot!
So first off thanks for reading and trying to help.
I am having the following problem:
First of no updates were installed recently. I did update to the latest December update in early January.
Few days ago my phone SM-N910T froze up and seemed to have shut down. After being unable to restart i pulled the battery, put it back in and nothing happened. I left it out for 5 minutes plugged it back in and the phone booted up. But as soon as the screen turned off the phone heated up and would not turn on. I've been dying to just start anew anyway so I tried using Kies to restore the phone however this failed twice.
I downloaded Odin and Stock N910T3UVS3EPK2.
I flashed TWRP Recovery. And then tried to Flash the firmware which failed several times and i started getting errors.
“Could not do normal boot, mmc_read failed”
Kernel is not seandroid enforcing
as well as others.
After rebooting it several times it started working I was able to log in and set everything up, but the phone started freezing up again.
I blew everything away did a Data Wipe in TWRP. I then downloaded N910T3UVS3EPK2 Stock Rooted Odex from here.
When trying to flash it, it failed several times. and i started getting No Pit Binary errors. After trying several times with different cables and USB ports it finally took. But i am still having the same problems with freezing and restarting.
THE ONLY THING THAT HELPED: And this is a band aid fix, is I installed the wake lock app from the google store and enable Partial Wake Lock.
The phone is stable but only until i restart it at which point it goes into Download Mode and i have to restart several times and prey it boots up.
HALP! :crying:
I had the same problem, and MANY MANY others have this issue too. For months i fought with it without any success. I ordered new motherboard and now my phone is working again.
Please check General forum. There is a big thread about installing KitKat from another phone which apparently fixed this issue. Dig around that thread and read about it, might be a solution!

I saw that thread, but most of those people started having the issue after the update. If the kit kat update fixes it then i'm at a loss. And since a new board fixed the issue for you that means most likely the the memory is beginning to fail. That's how SSDs die anyway.

Do you have "T3"or "T" model?
The files given below is for "T" variant do not try if you have T3.
It sounds crazy to tell you but trust me this will work.
Put your phone in freezer for about 2 hours then do the steps below if you want to recover your device as it was before.
Go to download mode
Flash 5.0.1 modem via odin choose (CP) tab this will fix emmc read fail error.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347820086
Dont reboot to system go to download mode again.
Then flash full 5.1.1 lollipop ok1 firmware
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=312968873555011894
.once it pass dont let the phone reboot.
Go to stock recovery and wipe cache & data factory reset.
Reboot wait 10 minutes dont touch anything let the phone rest.
Complete setup and dont download anything any apps go to software update and take all marshmallow ota updates.
Once finish do factory reset again and you will get clean operating system without any issues.

I have the " T " variant
I've read this before. I am a logical person I want to understand why this would work. Also when placing the phone in the freezer (i feel like i'm being pranked) do i place it in there with the battery?
I will definitely try this since I have nothing to lose. But i have a phone heavy next few weeks and i don't have a backup

Without battery in freezer.
No idea how it works but good thing is hopefully it will work cuz lot of users even recover their hard bricked devices by this.
As you said you have nothing to lose so give it a try and make sure be patient dont give up and do this when you have enough time to do at least couple of hours.
I should mention that I had an 'injured' 910t after upgrading, and the freezer thing worked for months. I think there is a thermal issue and something is physically getting de-soldered in the motherboard. @Trex888, I will try your fix - I got a NEW Note4 2 weeks ago and it is running 5.0.1 and it bricked....
IF ANY OTHER COMPANY SOLD A PHONE WITH STYLUS, i WOULD TOSS THE NOTE4 IN THE TRASH....

so wait the freezer thing was not even a permanent fix?
No, the freezer sometimes helps you get a bricked device so that it turns on. It doesn't fix thermal issues. I believe it helps some electrical connection that has broken come into contact again.
I can't go to download mode or recovery. I tried both ways But there is no way to use my device.

So i recently had a baby, thus i had no time at all to get my phone to work. WakeLock app was working alright.
But last night the phone just died. all attempts to revive failed. I left it in the freezer until the morning and it booted up but quickly locked up after about 5 minutes of use and became unresponsive.
I tried your method.
I failed right away. Modem could not be written..
I tried flashing the pit files like i did previously and that failed as well.
Any suggestions are appreciated. I am phoneless
EDIT#2: After I left the phone in the freezer for longer (3 hours). The odin firmware update went through !!!! This furtherst i've gone so far.
I went into recovery and did everything you said.
BUT now i have Kernel Panic Upload Mode on my screen with a little green android
EDit#3 few battery pulls later. And an over 15 minute wait time on the android logo and then about the same on the t-mobile logo i got into the OS. I did the OTA update, the phone heated up and a few restarts later it froze up like it did previously
Back to square 1
EDIT: THIS helped for a few days

Day 2: and all went back to the phone not waking up and after screen is turned off
Hello everyone. I have encountered something I don't understand. My note suddenly turned off and wouldn't restart. I thought maybe my battery was low so I plugged it in and it started. I decided to get a new battery and charged it up same thing was going on sometimes it would restart and be fine I was running stock rooted rom twrp recovery never dropped it never messed with it. Then since i was having trouble I took it to a cell repair shop. I could boot to download and twrp but when i tried to back up the rom it would get to about 2 percent and shutdown. The only way the phone stayed on is if i am in download or twrp but i couldn't do anything repair shop couldn't help either. I was desperately trying to save some data off the phone when i gave up I said ok i will reflash it all goes well in odin it reboots then says applying update but never gets past the boot farthest i have got is the tmobile screen. then it shuts down and keeps vibration and trying to restart only to shut down and do it all over again. so I am now stuck in a boot loop it seems not sure if that is accurate. I have no idea how to fix this any ideas anyone i have reflashed the latest rom twice and everything should be fine but it isnt. I am wondering what to do next I tried to flash twrp but it didnt take and also tried cf oneclick root didnt take either but odin says success and pass. I am at the end of my idea list and out of google searches no idea what to try next. So I have come to the one place i may find some help XDA. Thanks in advance
your phone partition got messed up you have to put TWRP back and then go in wipe and then you have to do file repairwhen you fix file then ran back the stock firmware which will fix bootloader
then go back install twrp and install custom rom with root

Befour flashing twrp make sure you uncheck Auto reboot....when it's done flashing pull your battery, put it back in the phone but don't power on....you want to boot right into recovery......then twrp will stick
Hello all before I describe my issue lemme tell you how I got there.
First of all, new phone, couldn't install pixelexperience and flashing stock android was being a pain with all methods (read not working), only managed to install stock android with pitch black recovery.
After a while it auto updated to android 9 and I started having wifi issues that people told me were android's fault so I waited for an update. Update came but android was unable to install it, giving errors after errors every time it downloaded the update.
My solution to all of this was to flash another rom, either stock or custom, and pray it works. It was scheduled to happen in 2 days, when I had free time.
Today, when trying to change the permission for a text file for an app from read only to write, some random process crashed, and it triggered a crashing cascade, including the settings app, homescreen launcher, etc until the phone restarted and got stuck in TWRP logo screen.
No key press, combination, resets, etc would fix it. So I got into fastboot and tried a few things with no luck. Flash stock rom again and phone seemed to be working.
Magisk manager couldn't install magisk and root the phone so I went into stock recovery/twrp and every time I did it I got a black screen message saying something like this:
"Your phone/system is corrupt and won't boot ever again *evil laugh*. Oh btw, go to this link in another device to cry more"
and the link redirects to a google page with some non-useful info.
So here I am, unable to root, unable to go into recovery, phone boots though. I force-stoped updates for a while, as android 9 wifi issues were terrible, and I don't know how to proceed.
Do I flash a stock image again, a custom one, try another rooting method?
I don't want to brick a 6month old phone, really sucks.
Btw, is there a reliable way to back up everything in the phone ?(not only google stuff, but app configs and files/folders) Long time ago I read something about Titanium backup but never looked into it further and now with this crash that lost me everything I wanna prepare for the future.
Thanks for all the help and for reading my boring story.
Even I am facing same problem.. In my case my phone is rooted and I cnt flash TWRP and I cnt get into fastboot mode.. I alwys endup with black screen..
