Got this phone today with my new carrier.
Ran the pwnmymoto apk.
I made the mistake of downloading the latest update because it didn't seem like it actually rooted my phone(No root).
Spent a good amount of time trying all different aspects of things after encountering the reboot loop.
Flashed one of the Rogers(I'm with Fido) firmwares.
"no valid piv block in sp for system"
RSDlite won't detec the device to try again.
It's MotoX xt1058
What can I do? This whole firmware thing is complicated and I just want to restore to stock and never ever touch rooting with this phone again.

Does fastboot recognize your phone? First thing is forget slapmymoto , you can unlock your bootloader and flash twrp recovery. Second issue rsdlite will only flash your existing carrier firmware with a locked bootloader, flash other sbf firmware requires a unlocked boot loader. Third item is to stop the bootloops try clearing the cache, fastboot erase cache

Flashboot says USB Connected. I assume that's a yes. My computer does as well but only as "motorola phone" likely because I have no real stuff on the phone now. Oh and the computer makes the little "boop" noise of removing a device.
What are the next steps I have to take to fix things? Thanks for the quick response btw!

OK , put your phone into fastboot mode by holding down the power button and volume down button for 3 seconds and let go( must he done while phone is completely off) plug your phone in and open a fastboot screen ( I assume you have SDK) right click and hold shift while in SDK platform tools. Type fastboot erase cache

I installed the SDK and followed a guide to allow me to use fastboot and other platform tools, but when using "adb devices" I don't have any entries, and when I did the command you mentioned It sticks at "waiting for device."
Seems my phone isn't actually seen by the adb tools.
Follow what flashallthetime is suggesting.
btw, Rogers firmware is correct for your phone as there is no Fido specific firmware.

Getting somewhere...
The command prompt can seemingly now interface with my device. It runs commands but clearing the cache didn't fix the problem. I've ran the command though so if there is a next step...
EDIT: Okay it's charing and I can interface with it via cmd. I can now use RTDlite with it as it's battery is charging. Should I flash the other Rogers now? I have my unlock code for the bootloader if that's what I've got to do first.
Yes, reflash it with rsdlite, this is the version you want - Blur_Version.139.12.36.ghost_row.RCI.en.CA

It's all fixed up. Thank you everyone who contributed to this! Time to enjoy my phone.
Last thing would be flashing twrp. Does someone have a link to the proper files?
Now after your up and running, please don't accept any ota if you are rooted, we expect the Rogers kitkat ota soon. If you accept the kitkat ota while rooted and with a custom recovery you will end up in endless bootloops.

I certainly won't be accepting ota updates while rooted anymore. Like I said I didn't think that it had actually modified anything with my system, otherwise I wouldn't have accepted the ota update.
Where can I find the twrp for moto x 4.2.2? Do I flash through rtdlite as normal?

After many years of experience flashing roms, I think I just did the biggest error ever and need help. I wanted to upgrade to 5.1 in my Nexus 6 and successfully did so and rooted and installed TWRP using Wugfresh toolkit. Lately only reason why I root is to run Adaway and to tether. But after realizing that Adaway breaks the slickdeals app/website and that it no longer works like it used to I and that I rarely tether any longer I decided to go back to stock. Once again tried Wugfresh Nexus toolkit to restore but it wasn't downloading the factory images from Google. There I remembered that I had all the files in my Platform-tools folder, so I decided to flash the images myself. Once I succeeded flashing everything from the factory images I decided to relock the bootloader so that I can have the full benefits of the new Android Anti-Theft protection.
I am now stuck in a twrp bootloop with no way to unlock my bootloader again. Every time I try the command fastboot oem unlock I get the message " Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options." Of course that can't be done since I am in a twrp bootloop. Is there a way I can bypass getting into the system and checking the Allow OEM Unlock, or is there any other way I can get my phone out of the soft bootloop?
Try manually reflashing the factory images

Thanks! I searched the forum but kept getting hits with KitKat. I'm working on it now I'll let you know how it works.
Ok so, this is my first post on xda, and because my (sprint) Nexus 6 is stuck on a boot loop. When powered on, goes to googles boot animation, then says "Android is starting... optimizing apps # of 127, and then once it reaches the end, it just goes into the animation again. I somehow have usb debugging disabled, and oem locked. I have no idea what i did to cause this, but esentially I unlocked the phone, and rooted it, and then i tried to disable encryption, and thats where things went south. clearing chache does not help, niether does factory reset. Attempts at flashing factory images are fails. even the guy at sprint cant do it. Besides fixing it, my only other option is to send it in to google and get a reaplacement...for $200. PLease help me solve this issue and i will be eternally grateful :3

OK. So...do u know how to use fastboot? If yes...do a fastboot format data and fastboot format cache..also...do u have stock recovery or twrp?
I got that bootloop when I flashed a bad boot image. Easily fixed by flashing a good one...
But, let's clarify a couple of things:
Did you relock your bootloader while flashing?
Do you have a custom recovery (TWRP)?
If the answer to both of those are "yes", you might get out of this by using these commands:
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
This will allow you to enter TWRP and restore a backup or flash a ROM.
If you didn't relock your bootloader you shouldn't have any problems flashing. Clarify what your trying to do, please (are you using a toolkit, etc).
If the answers are 1-yes and 2-no, then your probably SOL.

I was trying to fix an issue with my phone the other day, and saw that re-locking the bootloader might fix it. Nobody mentioned anything about it completely wiping the phone, including the internal SD card. I set most of the stuff back up again but realized that it was suffering from the bug on the old radio version that causes it to lose LTE randomly.
I went and rebooted into TWRP to try and flash it, and TWRP showed a completely empty sdcard partition and said it could not mount '/data'. I enabled "require pattern to boot," thinking it may not have known to decrypt the partition without that, and now I can't get into TWRP at all. I tried disabling the "require pattern to boot" option again but no luck. It shows the "Google" logo for about 5 seconds, then the blue "TEAMWIN" logo for about 3 seconds, then reboots to the "Google" logo and proceeds to boot normally. I should note that I have CM12.1 installed, and the latest TWRP. I've tried reflashing TWRP and that didn't help; I also did "fastboot format cache" and then "fastboot flash cache cache.img" using the stock factory cache.img. I got the radio flashed using fastboot, but I'd really like to have a working recovery.

no working recovery with a locked bootloader, sorry. if the bootloader is locked, you cant flash anything. its locked. to flash things, you need an unlocked bootloader. its like locking a door, but expecting it to open magically when you walk up to it.

I forgot to mention that I re-unlocked the bootloader. I can also boot the OS so I'd be able to enable OEM unlock again if needed.

All the console output indicates success, and it boots to the initial "TEAMWIN" logo for a few seconds and reboots.

Briman, I seem to have a similar issue on my and wife's Google Nexus 6s. I unlocked and rooted using Wug Tool Kit I used in years past with seamless success. To confirm root CM 12.1 I can get into bootloader, Teamwin. From there I am to flash the Superuser, Busybox and TWRP zips under SD\iReady to Flash\Rootfiles..... Only I am not given an option on the menu? I am struggling with using the command prompt and proper paths from SDK Tools so that is not an option at this moment. I see a File Manager that shows this path but am hesitant to use it as I have READ this could cause damage ( brick) to the system. Watching your thread for answers or possibilities. I know the senior members as Simm22 dislike tool kits and so do I. I am simply trying to grow and learn.

na, toolkits work fine. sure, they occasionally do mess up, but its not very ofver. i generally like ut when noobies do the rooting the correct way the first time, that way they can learn some basic things about how everything works. then, they can yse toolkits all they
btw, teamwin isnt your bootloader, its your recovery. team win = twrp. now all you need to do is download the latest supersu and flash it via your recovery, and the you can install a busybox app from tbe play store, and use it to unstall .

I followed your directions while working on my Nexus6 phone. Was able to access bootloader then install iReady files. Worked perfectly and phone loaded SUPERUSER, BUSYBOX & PERM RECOVERY. Not so much on wife's Nexus 6. I get thru UNLOCK & ROOT w/custom recovery on the Wug Fresh Tool Kit. At RECOVERY menu pulls up SD - Up one level. No option is allowed to continue on and load the three mentioned packages. I then able to reboot to system. Does it appear I am bootloading but not fastbooting? Will try and insert images.

one question.. what is perm recovery?? the only recovery that works on the n6 is twrp recovery.
and when you are in her recovery, is it showing you the right location where the files should be? if nit, you csn change the lication.
Simm & Others. Thank you for your good words and suggestions. It would be easier for me to list what I did not attempt rather than what I did try. . I tried nearly most functions in the Wug Fresh ( by Harold) v2.0.5 after failing to find the correct command prompt to use ADB. What happened is an odditity. Mind you, I've been on these two Nexus 6 phones for 4-6hours a day for about ten days! Day later, Happened to be waiting for wife in parking lot and picked up phone and pressed SuperUser. Viola! It went into TWRP and gave me an RECOVERY option. On impluse, I flashed TWRP and Superuser zips. It took and processed. however, the best part of this is the hands on learning experience of booting, flashing, wiping, language, terms, SDK, Android and more. Once I figure out my path problem on my windows based PC to loading ABD commands I am continuing my self study of Android and App development. How do I get the packages out of the SDK Tool Kit to folders in PC? Thanks all.

your welcome, but you are still off in one bit of fact. you use fastboot, not adb, to flash a recovery(and system.img)
edit.. you can use apps like flashify to flash recovery, if you have root already.
So BOOTLOADER is the USB connection between the device and PC. FASTBOOT is the process via we make changes in the device via the PC. ADB is the device language via which we communicate. So do I still need to flash a system recovery image? Flashify App? I already went thru install>iready to flash> superuser (version)>busybox>flash>reboot>system. I'm going cross eyed from reading. The wiping part worries me as I fear formatting or deleting essential data.

ok, when wiping, dont do the first option wipe, itll wipe your whole phone clean. you need to select the advanced options and pick what you want wiped. fastboot is the way to unlock your bootloader, or flash a recovery. also, you use it to flash a system.img or any part of it.
adb is a general linux that can be used with android, anywhere but in the bootloader(only fastboot in the bootloader).
bootloader isnt the usb connection between the device and the pc, its part of the phone that boots it and decides if the rom is safe to run. thats why we unlock it. so we can flash roms eithout googles key.
fastboot is the tool that you use to do whatever needs to be fone in the bootloader, adb everywhere else.
a recovery you need if you want to flash custom roms, kernels, supersu, or other mods. you can also wipe different partitions with the recovery, or make a "nandroid' backup. thats a bavkup of everything. its like a complete snapshot of everything during the time you made it. if you ever mess up your phone, you can restore it, and you will be at the exact same place when you made the backup.
anything else?
