So one of my buddies took the OTA update for 4.4.2 while being rooted on 4.4 with TWRP as his recovery. Now he is stuck in an endless bootloop. Any idea what we could do to bring his phone back to life?
By the way, he is on Sprint and has his bootloader unlocked
Any advice would help!
Thanks.

This happened to me too.
Just flash the latest firmware for your device at http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
Then accept the OTA.
Re-install TWRP.
Hope this works for you too.

So to accept the OTA, did you go through the bootloader/recovery and flash it, or were you able to turn on your phone and accept it? Sorry I don't have his phone on me right now otherwise I would have done it .
Don't flash the full SBF..
boot the phone into fastboot mode... mfastboot erase cache... the reboot the phone. that will remove the OTA zip file from chache and stop the boot loop.
The bootloop is because the phone has TWRP on it rather than stock recovery.
To take the OTA properly, use mfastboot to reflash stock recovery only. Also have him undo any hacks that might have touched system files or the OTA will fail, (mfastboot system will also get /system back to normal)...

We actually just ended up clearing the system cache and that seemed to do the trick .
I incredibly appreciate all the info! If anyone makes this silly mistake, all you need to do is clear the cache and everything works as intended.

I am having this very same problem. My phone just today went into boot loop. Running KangKat on unlocked 1053 with Faux kernel. No boot logo or anything. The phone just vibrates then after 30 seconds or so, it vibrates again. It does this non-stop.
I can plug my phone into USB and the phone's contents come up on my computer, but I can't get the screen to turn on!! Any ideas?

KangKat wtih Faux kernel? So you are not running the stock rom? I'm suprised the actually OTA installed.
I don't know anything about that rom, or kernel to begin to tell you how to fix this situation, short of reflashing your rom

He probably flashed the "Flashable 4.4.2 ZIP" that is flashable through TWRP.
@Globalrebel :
You need to try to get into bootloader (AP Fastboot) mode. Try holding the VOL DOWN while the phone reboots (vibrates). Make sure the phone is unplugged from USB. If you can access fastboot, your best best would probably to flash the entire SBF back to stock.
Always check here first before you do something like trying to flash a stock update on a custom rom. We would have quickly informed you that this is ill-advised.
Good Luck
Ok, so I have held down the power button, and then when vibrating starts, I hold down vol down button. Then, it vibrates 2 times. What now? (Sorry, I'm freaked out as this is my only phones )
How can i check to see if it is actually in Fastboot mode? Since my screen doesn't show ANYTHING at all?
I started up an ADB server and connected my phone and tried "adb devices" but my phone isn't listed.

Can I just to the manual method?
For manual method, should I copy all the files into the same folder as my mfastboot.exe?

Yes,I suggested manual method in last post. Faster and easier.
Yes extract the sbf to the folder containing mfastboot and fastboot.
The only thing you will do differently is one of the last lines that says carrier vzw, change it to carrier sprint.
Make sure u are using the 4.4.2 sprint sbf.

Bummer. You appear to have used the correct procedure.
This looks to be a hardware failure :/
Sorry, I don't have any further troubleshooting techniques for you...
Its all good. I think the screen just decided to die on me?!?! Which REALLY SUCKS! I'm still in my 1 year warranty policy. After fastbooting the original 4.4.2, will motorola know I did anything to the phone? IE, can they know I flashed anything?

If you unlocked the bootloader they know it. Technically your warranty is void... But they might replace/fix it anyways. Don't mention it and see what happens. Let us know.

So I rooted and unlocked yesterday, flashed cwm, and then flashed cm10 posted in the dev forum.
After having wifi issues, I decided to go to the Goldenrom.
Now I'm stuck in a boot loop. I can get back to recovery (and no, I forgot to make a backup), and tried wiping and flashing again. no luck.
I thought about trying to RSD but I can't. I can get to fastboot but RSD doesn't recognize it as being anything.
Please help.
Did you try holding the vol down and power until it shuts off. Then hold both vol down and up with power at the same time. It will give you options to choose. Then vol down to fastboot and press up to select it.

Yeah I've tried all that.
It can be mounted in fastboot, and RSD sees a device, but it doesn't have any information. Doesn't see it as an atrix, a razr, anything.
I also can't mount the sd card in cwm for file transfer. I was gonna try and flash one of the stock rooted roms I saw around here, but can't get the zip on storage.
Any thoughts?

These are the steps:
Install Stock Fastboots JB
Download the respective fastboot zip you want to use
Extract the zip
Open a terminal to the extracted zips directory
Reboot into fastboot

that did the trick. well done. im still curious as to what the problem was, but at least now i know it can be fixed.
So I did this and it worked, decided to re-root and reflash CM10.
I'm selling my Atrix now, so I've decided to reflash the stock rom. This time, though, the above steps didn't work. I'm stuck at the motorola logo. I can still get to fastboot. I've tried reflashing stock, but it hasn't worked, as I'm still stuck at the M logo.
I'd try the RSD Lite method, but even after reinstalling drivers, RSD doesn't recognize the device.
Any NEW thoughts?
I feel like a noob...
EDIT:
Nvm, figured it out. I forgot about the snapdragon fastboots...
while attempting root on my sprint moto x using the moto x tool kit I decided hey the verizon root might work since theyre both cdma. bad idea. now every time i turn on my phone. com.android.phone force closes and it tells me sim card error. ive already flashed the stock image and I still get the error. any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

if it keeps force closing then you are not returning the phone to stock. because if you did that would not happen.

Well you have to flash the NON-HLOS.bin or it is not going to work.
Why not just download the full Sprint firmware file(I believe you've already done this) download rsdlite, remove the var line from the xml, and with one click your phone will work fine again.

First: I'm not blaming anyone associated with the sunshine unlock method. This is definitely my fault.
I unlocked rooted my phone and stayed on 4.4.2 and just today I used the sunshine app to unlock my boot loader. I then flashed twrp recovery using the twrp app in the play store. Then I did a backup and then I tried to update the kernel and radio using this utility http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/rom-stock-rooted-vzw-212-55-26-t2829123
It said that it worked but when I tried to boot up again it started a boot loop.
I tried manually flashing the 4.2.2 kernels again but that didn't work. Tried manually flashing the 4.4.4 ROM, didn't work. Tried flashing the 4.2.2 ROM, didn't work. Tried flashing 4.2.2 with rsd and it failed.
Now it's stuck in fastboot and won't boot into recovery or even try to boot, even if I try rebooting with adb.
I would love to keep root, but if I have to I'll do the root again if possible.
**EDIT**
If you have done the same bone-head move I made, then follow these simple steps.
1. Use RSD lite to update to 4.4.4
2. Follow this guide to then root your device once you have updated to 4.4.4
This works because your bootloader is unlocked, thanks to sunshine.

You should have never attempted to downgrade...
Try using fastboot & mfastboot.
Unplug, then turn off the phone. Boot it into bootloader mode. Once in BL, plug usb into PC.
You must have at least minimal adb/fastboot, AND the mfastboot binary (search it).
Unzip the 4.4.4 SBF into the SAME FOLDER that both fastboot and mfastboot are in.
Open a command prompt, browse to the folder containing the unzipped files, fastboot, and mfastboot. Now execute the following commands in this exact order:
fastboot flash bootloader motoboot.img
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot reboot-bootloader
[the device will reboot into the bootloader] ignore the fact that some commands are being run twice...
fastboot flash bootloader motoboot.img
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img [make absolutely sure to use the Mfastboot binary for flashing system.img]
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot reboot
If you see an error about variable not supported, ignore it. If you get a different error, post back with a screenshot.
Does it boot into android now? You should be 100% stock, unlocked. Ready to flash TWRP and root.

RSD 422 means a downgrade. What did it "say"?

Unzip the 4.4.4 SBF into the SAME FOLDER that both fastboot and mfastboot are in.
Open a command prompt, browse to the folder containing the unzipped files, fastboot, and mfastboot. Now execute the following commands in this exact order:
fastboot flash bootloader motoboot.img
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot reboot-bootloader
[the device will reboot into the bootloader] ignore the fact that some commands are being run twice...
fastboot flash bootloader motoboot.img
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img [make absolutely sure to use the Mfastboot binary for flashing system.img]
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot reboot
If you see an error about variable not supported, ignore it. If you get a different error, post back with a screenshot.
Does it boot into android now? You should be 100% stock, unlocked. Ready to flash TWRP and root.

Thank you, however when I try the first command "fastboot flash boot loader moto boot.img" it says "(bootloader) Variable not supported! Then says (bootloader) Permission denied
But I followed the rest of the directions and it still will only boot into fastboot.

A "Permission denied" error sounds strange to me....don't recall having seen that one before.
Though I'm rather certain that your downgrade attempt (big no-no) is the culprit, I'm curious if @jcase might have any suggestions...
1) I don't think you are bricked, this should be fixable. This is due to you flashing older firmware to a device that has been updated, nothing to do with sunshine.
2) your title makes it sound like sunshine to blame, this is really bad for me. SunShine CANT brick motorola (nor htc) phones. We simply have too many safety checks, and verification. If you were able to flash and boot TWRP (which you were because you took a backup) then it can't be sunshine. It would be great if you changed the title to be more accurate.
Having said that, I have no problem helping you recover your phone, it certainly isn't bricked
I'm out from 10amPST to 2pmPST tomorrow, but please email me jcase AT cunninglogic DOT com, and I will have you up on your feet in minutes. Probably setup teamviewer and I will just remote in and do my best.
wisenick said:
First: I'm not blaming anyone associated with the sunshine unlock method. This is definitely my fault.
I unlocked rooted my phone and stayed on 4.4.2 and just today I used the sunshine app to unlock my boot loader. I then flashed twrp recovery using the twrp app in the play store. Then I did a backup and then I tried to update the kernel and radio using this utility http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/rom-stock-rooted-vzw-212-55-26-t2829123
It said that it worked but when I tried to boot up again it started a boot loop.
I tried manually flashing the 4.2.2 kernels again but that didn't work. Tried manually flashing the 4.4.4 ROM, didn't work. Tried flashing the 4.2.2 ROM, didn't work. Tried flashing 4.2.2 with rsd and it failed.
Now it's stuck in fastboot and won't boot into recovery or even try to boot, even if I try rebooting with adb.
I would love to keep root, but if I have to I'll do the root again if possible.

I don't have the sbf files handy right now, so I can't check -- are you sure the order is bootloader then gpt? I thought it was the other way around. A quick check of the xml file in the sbf will give the correct order.

@wisenick, you even mention in your OP you don't blame Sunshine, so why mention it in the subject?
Can you change the subject of this thread to "Attempted to Downgrade and now bricked" or "Attempted to downgrade and now phone wont boot"? That would be more accurate.

Try flashing an alternate bootloader like TWRP or CWN with mfastboot. My recovery wasn't working for awhile and all I had to do was reflash it.

So today I got an update for a new firmware, it was a small 125 mb patch, no big deal. I downloaded it and installed it a couple of hours later, I leave it to install and when I'm back my phone is frozen on the Motorola logo and the "Powered by android" text written below, but it won't get past that. I left it for almost an hour and it won't boot, I tried forcing a reboot and it gets me back to the same screen.
Is there any way I could fix it, preferably while keeping my data? Especially the what's app gallery.
Thanks a lot guys, I'm kinda panicking here.
Ps. I'm not rooted, everything is completely stock.
it's Stuck on Moto Boto logo ?
Yes. I tried doing a factory reset and that doesn't work either, it sends me right back to the boot logo.
Sorry to not have any solutions but my girlfriends phone has probably had the exact same thing happen. At about 10PM tonight she got an update notification and told it to install. almost two hours later she checked the phone again to see it stuck on the boot logo and incredibly hot. She restarted it and same thing, stuck on the boot logo. Same as you, completely stock phone. Never been modified in anyway.
I had her go into recovery and wipe cache, no change at all. I've now had her do a factory reset twice as some similar problems mentioned that as a solution. No change, still just gets stuck on the boot screen.
My assumption at this point is that this update has completely trashed the phone and it's completely unrecoverable on the device at least.
I'm willing to learn how to install a new rom from scratch if that would help, preferably a stock one. The problem is that Motorola doesn't have any stores where I live, I ordered my phone off amazon.
So is there any method to fix it? You can instruct me if you could or at least tell me what to look for on google.
Thanks a lot man.

What do you mean?
I'm a total beginner when it comes to android, I'm more of a windows guy. Can you walk me through the steps?
It´s not that easy to guide someone through all the steps. First thing you have to do is unlock your bootloader,described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/wip-unlock-bootloader-moto-g-2nd-gen-t2875728. Read all the steps,it´s not that difficult.
You need all the drivers,by motorola and android, linked in the tutorial. I recomend Minimal ADB and Fastboot instead of Android SDK, it´s easier. Install it in the root of your windows partition,like C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot. So if you open a command prompt the path is short and you know it.
After the unlock process you´ll need to flash a custom recovery, you can read how to do that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/xt1063-t3018818.
There´s a part called Flashing TWRP Recovery . You don´t need to do that with Flashify (you surely can if you want but I think this way is easier to do), just download the custom recovery TWRP from here: https://dl.twrp.me/titan/.
Place the .img file in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder and connect the phone to the PC. After that you open a command prompt again from the Minmal ADB and fastboot folder (open the folder and hold Shift and right click and press "open command window here".
Now type the command
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
When the phone has booted to bootloader type
Code:
fastboot devices
A string of numbers should appear,that means your phone is connected.
Now type
fastboot flash recovery "name of the downloaded TWRP .img file", in your case that should be
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-titan.img
Now everytime when you boot to recovery you´ll see a menu with a lot of features like install,wipe,backup,restore etc.
From here you can flash any rom you like, a stock rom, a stock based rom or any other like cyanogen or AOSP.
If you want to flash stock again you´ll need to know the name of your firmware,it differs from country and version. You can search for it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/original-motorola-firmware-collection-t3153533.
It´s late now here, if you are at this point and have decided what rom to flash post again or pm me.
I hope my exclamation is understandable and I´ve made no faults, everyone else please correct me then!

Its good guide follow these steps
If you want to go stock, I recommend you to go with the mfastboot method . . .
because it doesn't even need unlocked bootloader or any recovery,
The following link is having a mfastboot folder, in which, Moto G 2014(XT1068) stock 5.0.2 factory firmware is stored and, you just have to extract the folder and open it then pressing & holding shift + RMB and select "Open Command Window Here".
(Now press Power + Volume Down simultaneously, and you should go to the bootloader mode, if you don't know that )
Now in the command window, check your phone is connected with USB and type below code and press Enter.
Code:
fastboot devices
if any code(like for eg. ZDMJK2312) is shown, you're connected,
if not, try reconnecting the USB and try again.
Once properly connected, now you can flash the follwing commands one by one, to get your device to life.
Code:
Moto G 2014 Stock 5.0.2 Restore Script

BTW this happened to me 6 months back and the same helped me.

Note : The above method is for only the model XT1068, because the firmware in the folder is for that model only, so plz make sure your model before proceeding.
And plz follow each and every step properly.
Thanks . . .
Alright thanks people! I'll try ArtRahul's method since it's easier and i was quite satisfied with stock. If that doesn't work I'll try Wolfcity's method.
Alright, so this is an update. ArtRahul's method works great and it's really easy. If anyone looks for a solution and finds this thread, just make sure you find the exact model of your phone and google the firmware. Here's where I found mine

Are you using RSDlite? If so, you're getting this error (I think) because the PRODUCT_CONFIGURATION.xml file has instructions for other phone models besides the Turbo in it. If I remember correctly, I got around this by deleting the info for everything not labeled QUARK_VERIZON in this file. However, since RSDlite basically just automates fastboot, a better option is to use fastboot to flash this firmware, in my opinion.
If you decide to flash the firmware this way, place all of the files from the full firmware into the directory that you installed fastboot, and enter the following commands after your phone is plugged into your computer in bootloader mode:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
<repeat until all sparsechunks are flashed>
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata (NOTE: this command effectively performs a factory reset, and will erase all of your data)
Then boot, and you will have done everything that RSDlite would have done.
Oh thanks. Good info. Is there a write up on using fastboot anywhere? These forums are pretty poorly maintained and no good stickies anywhere
Edit: Oh, you edited your post. Awesome. Thanks.
The root junky fxz is that for rsd lite when I look at the contents the system image is in several sections and says system.img sparsechunk and has 10 sections. I have never seen this in an fxz. Is this a new way of flashing the system image.

Wouldn't that lock the bootloader?
Is it even possible to re-lock?
From what I understand he wants to avoid locking the bootloader...
Edit: nevermind I looked it up... Should have just done that the first time... ("I have seen quite of few people screw up their devices by not knowing what they are doing. So I am making this thread to simply tell people not familiar with fastboot what they should and should not do.
Fastboot oem unlock will unlock your bootloader and do a complete wipe of your device. As far as I know the only way for something to go wrong here is if you're device is low on battery and shuts off during the process. Either plug it in or have a "good" amount of juice left in your battery. To be 100 percent sure plug it in.
Before I get into oem lock IMHO you should only use this command for one thing only. Getting the device ready to send into motorola for the LGT upgrade or a another warranty repair or some sort. When done properly it is completely safe but there is no reason to do to go back to "stock".
Fastboot oem lock. Do not issue this command unless you are absolutely sure you have the correct software on your device. The correct software is what you get from the motodev site for your device. You need the official sofware images for your specific device AND REGION. If it is not released then DO NOT re-lock the device. If you have a OTA installed you will need to flash back to the motodev images first.")

No, that is the actual bootloader. The code that manages device startup, takes fastboot commands, and prohibits unsigned images from booting (when locked).
The splash screen is flashed with:

I can only speak from my experience. I was on the KitKat bootloader and used mofo to flash lollipop. I unlocked with sunshine and installed twrp. Then I flashed the lollipop bootloader with the fastboot command . Still unlocked.
