[Q] TWRP System Problem - Moto X Q&A

Hey guys. I'm having an issue getting TWRP to function properly. I had it working before, and I'm not doing anything differently now, but this time when I flash TWRP, I'm not able to mount /system.
I'm using "mfastboot", not "fastboot", everything works as it should, except that System is not accessable. Any ideas on what I can try?

are you making sure you are using TWRP 2.6.3.1 also you could try redownloading TWRP from
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/motox/unlocked/twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img
and re flashing it and see if that helps your issue.
and just to check your device's bootloader is unlocked correct.

[Q] I just dun goofed :(

Hey guys, long time lurker and now first time poster. Shame it has to be something very stupid.
So anyways, I wanted to flash the latest CM10.2 Unofficial build so I did the usual and downloaded the zip & gapps to my phone. But upon wiping my phone via TWRP I accidentally left the wipe userdata part checked and ... well now I have no OS installed as well as no zip's :/
I have TWRP installed so I thought why not sideload it, however when I go to advanced -> adb sideload it never starts up. This is the log:
Updating partition details...
Starting ADB sideload feature...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And it just stays there
I know that my ADB works as I have S-OFF & unlocked the bootloader and flashed the latest 1.54.0000 hboot so I can definitely use it, I just don't understand why it doesn't let me sideload for some reason.
Either way, I have full access to fastboot & TWRP recovery so i'm hoping this is a pretty simple thing to fix ... right?
Can anybody point me to the right direction?
Details:
No OS installed.
Access to TWRP & fastboot.
S-OFF, Modified Hboot 1.54.0000 (SuperCID) & Unlocked bootloader.
Windows 8 64-bit, drivers all work.
Latest SDK with all the binaries installed.
P.S. when I connect and try and use adb devices it doesn't recognise my device, and the cmd window gives the following when I try the sideload command:
Error: device not found.

Sounds like a driver issue to me but it doesn't make sense that the drivers would suddenly stop working ???
Here are screenshots of odd device behaviour when switching from fastboot to recovery (please copy & paste, I don't have enough posts to post images yet):

Bump for help
I can't seem to get sideload to work in TWRP at the moment either. CWM works fine though, try flashing that and use the sideload feature.

Tried that already, same issue in not detecting the device. I'm downloading these drivers in a hope to fix something.
Thanks for the reply
EDIT:
Finally got sideloading in TWRP to work, it turns out it was a driver issue :/
Anyways, these are the drivers that worked:

why is everyone always wiping their storage these days? just use CWM next time and you wont accidentally do this again..

TWRP is much better for people who know what they are doing. There are more options and also a built in file manager. Also, the wipe button in TWRP wipes the 3 main partitions at once (data/cache/dalvik), so he must have actually selected internal sdcard from the advanced menu, and I have no idea why he would do that...
Doing the slider is all anyone needs to do in twrp to wipe yet I read more posts about people wiping with twrp than any other problem in these forums

TWRP Reboots

My phone is f'd up.
I tried installing Liquid Smooth 6/10 version, and I got nothing but system UI FC's over and over. So, I held power and volume up until the screen rebooted, and then volume down to get to bootloader.
Then, I selected recovery from there. When I got into recovery, there was nothing in the internal memory, so I did the "fix" where you type in adb on your computer. Every thing went well, I suppose, but when I tried to reboot, it went to the splash screen and did nothing else.
Well, I went back into recovery to restore a backup, a stock Sense back up, and TWRP rebooted. It has been doing this every time I try to get into recovery. I can't do anything. I even installed a previous TWRP by going into bootloader and using an SD converter card with my PC, because ADB doesn't even recognize the device anymore.
I was using Cpt Throwbacks recovery, the newest one, and then I tried reverting to an older one.
Any help....PLEASE!?
Have you tried formatting data and internal storage?
Do you have a recovery log?

I will try again to do internal.

Sounds like an RUU might be in your future. Some partition(s) seem to be corrupted.

I honestly don't know. If you used that command I assume you also had the random encryption issue, which could mean you have a different problem altogether.
Did you try using the partition repair options in TWRP?

I will try partition repair, but is that on the newest version only?
I can still get into bootloader, and when I plug it in to my computer, it still makes the connection sound, but recovery will not stay active. After about 10 seconds, it reboots to splash screen, but goes no further because I don't believe there is anything installed now.
Well, it won't stay in TWRP long enough to do anything. My internal is there now at least. I just don't get it.
Running RUU as we speak. I hope that since I have the .13 firmware installed, that it won't mess up.
Wow. Again.
I made a mistake by doing a backup, then trying to install another ROM, but forgot to wipe data. Went through the process (splash screen, boot animation, updating apps) and it booted for a second and rebooted. I figured it would happen, since I didn't wipe correctly.
Try to go into TWRP, and the damn thing reboots out of TWRP! I can't stay in TWRP for more than 5-7 seconds, before it reboots on its' own. Went to flashboot to reinstall TWRP, no change. I can't even do a restore.
I know I installed a ROM once through fastboot with a "fastboot flash zip rom.zip" command, but that isn't working either. Can't get a log, because I can't stay booted in anything other than fastboot/bootloader.
I searched for an answer, and this is all I got! My phone must be borked. Guess I'll have to RUU again.
I had this issue last night and I got it to restore a backup by unplugging it from the wall first. I think the voltage is too high or something during a flash or something.

You can't install a custom ROM this way, unless it's been built into an image file. This is only for flashing image files that have been zipped up with an android-info.txt file.
Have you tried updating firmware, then booting back into recovery?

I was suggesting flashing the firmware to normalize your device, so that maybe you could get back into recovery. I wasn't suggesting it because I thought you were on the wrong firmware.

If it happens again, I will take your advice and report back.

I need help. My 3T has no OS and won't mount data partition in twrp.

I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention and I tried installing the 7.0 update from this thread.
I can now only get to TWRP recovery and fastboot. When I'm in TWRP my internal storage says 0MB and it won't let me mount the data partition. Flashing anything fails.
Fastboot format userdata

Flash the stock recovery through fastboot. You can use the toolkit found here on xda forums.
Also you can format data in TWRP and then it should work, but you lose everything in internal storage, pics, music, all your own stuff.
Thanks guys. I got the stock recovery installed and it wiped everything, which was fine. I already backed up important stuff. It seems the update went through because I have Nougat now. But I'm having trouble installing any other roms. It wants to decrypt but it doesn't work. I read on the TWRP post that you can set a boot password and it would update the crypto key type or something and it should work after that. Well I did that, but twrp still won't accept my password and let me flash anything.

I had the same problem. I used the 3T toolkit to force decrypt (Option 14). This worked for me.

I just did this and it worked in TWRP: I was able to create a backup (which is not possbible in password-bugged state) and then I noticed I still was not able to mount the USB partition and thought I had to boot in to OOS once, so I did it, set up the bare minimum and then checked back at TWRP and voilà: Locked again.
The OOS said "encrypted" as well after I booted it.
I was (am) running 7.0, TWRP, non rooted (because I freaking can't)
Anynone can help here?

Did you flash SuperSU before booting into OOS? Not sure what to tell you I did the Force Decrypt then went into TWRP and immediately flashed SuperSU.

I wanted to do so but was not able to because I was not able to mount the relevant partition, nvm though I think I`ll wait a day or two to see if TW releases a new build. Thanks anyways:good:

,Using the toolkit take the option 14....To push decryption..,
DONT boot to your ROM...With the toolkit push the SuperSU and then flash it...
Now you can boot to your ROM....
If you boot without SuperSU will reenforse encryption.....

Push with adb sideload? Because I was not able to get that going for me. ADB is installed on my PC. Also is there a way to backup my apps and data without root? I just set everything up. Thanks for the help

Nice haha, Ill try it later. Thank you really much
So there is currently no way to root and use TWRP without completely disabling encryption?
I'm having the same issues as the OP here. Whenever I go to use the toolkit it says "the system cannot find the path specified." Any ideas? I've tried within Android and in TWRP..

Can't Boot Into System, Only TWRP

Here's the whole story:
I was on an unofficial build of RR CM13, encrypted, using TWRP 3.0.2-1.
I wiped data, dalvik, cache, and flashed the newest Official RR 7.1.1 and open-gapps.
I boot into the new ROM and start setting stuff up.
I restore some apps' data using Titanium Backup, then reboot.
On reboot I'm greeted with the device setup screen
I reboot, wipe, reflash a bunch of times
A few times:
When I rebooted after using the system my PIN doesn't decrypt the system/data (booting into the system)
When I rebooted after using TWRP my PIN does decrypt (booting into the system)
At some point during this I try wiping everything from TWRP, but it freezes, goes black, and then the notification LED turns white. I hold the power button and boot back to TWRP.
Apparently wiping /data is the problem (everything else wipes just fine if I do them individually)
I boot back into the system, set it up, and do a full factory reset from there (after offloading my stuff from Internal Storage)
Back to TWRP, now no matter what I flash or restore, I don't end up booting into the system, only into TWRP
I've also tried TWRP 3.0.4-0 (which wouldn't decrypt my data), and I've reflash TWRP a few times.
How do I actually boot into my system? It's been 7 hours, and I'm losing my mind.

Boot to your ROM through the power button...
Manually..

Not sure if you've tried this yet, but considering you've already backed your phone up, I'd just recommend to start clean and use the unbricker tool.

Do what he said. You've already wiped your internal storage, so just start from scratch.

TWRP has enormous potential and so does ADB try to use them.
First ensure TWRP is working, If it works you're 80℅ safe , then further do some XDA search as per your need. I am sure it will work again.
This is purely my experience since 6 years I am flashing .

Your TWRP is working right!
go to TWRP/ Advanced/ADB Sideload
type "adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip"
Mate, recommend using ADB Sideload on TWRP itself is the only viable option you have. OR if that doesn't work and you still have the PIN issues, you should definitely use the Unbrick Tool and get everything back to Stock, and then reflash everything
Note: Using the unbrick tool will cause it to relock bootloader, so you're gonna have to start over again.
Cheers!

Stuck on TWRP bootloader with encryption and no os.

Last OS installed on the device was faulty and didn't boot properly and ran into alot of problems so I tried to install a new OS. Thing is, im not that good with this stuff, so I straight up went to bootloader, wiped everything there was to wipe and tried to flash gapps with the OS. It even may be in bootloop, but im not sure and don't know what that is exactly. I can't even flash a new ROM because the device is encrypted for no reason. ADB sideload didn't work, probably because there is no os on the device or because it wasn't put into developer mode. Some help would be amazing, maybe with just unlocking bootloader. I think i can handle installing OS.

Not sure on encryption but wiping out everything should work.
I installed this ROM and it's working fine apart from couple of bugs.
If you can access TWRP give it a try.
