[Q] Stuck with no OS on my Moto XT1052 - Moto X Q&A

Hey there... Need help..!
I was trying to install CM12 on my Moto XT1052.
I rooted my phone successfully and bootloader was also unlocked.
I already installed SuperSU and am using twrp 2.6.3.1
The mistake i did was, that i didn't take backup from TWRP recovery.
I performed a full wipe and now i'm stuck with absolutely nothing on my phone... not even the OS.
I have CM11 and CM12 Rom ZIP on my PC.
I'm using fastboot and mfastboot commands.
I tried to flash CM11 and CM12 ZIP to phone's SDcard folder and also to System folder, but all in vain.
I also tried to push it to /System and also /SdCard via ADB push. In CMD, it said "Writing Complleted at 5123 KBps " But i couldn't find the file in TWRP. And also the SYSTEM folder gets unmounted automatically and it won't mount until i wipe system again.
Please guide me further...
Your help will be appreciated..! Ty.

search for the stock os. you'll find it on firmware factory website. then after you download it... do a quick google search to see how to manually flash it. after the flashing is done, you can root your phone again and continue with which ever rom you want to

You can connect the phone to your computer and transfer files via USB in TWRP

How to transfer files via TWRP?

Just connect the phone to comp while in recovery and your computer will detect it as a mtp device. Then you can transfer ROMs to the phone and flash them.

Use adb push in command prompt. Use Google to find directions.

unzip it, and you can find a file named "recovery.img", and copy it to your sdk folder. if you don't have this tool. you can from this website and install it: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html . copy the "recovery.img" to "D:\adt\sdk\platform-tools" folder.
after that,connect your phone, and reboot to fastboot, open ":\adt\sdk\platform-tools" in your pc, hold "shift" and click right key of mouse, then shoose "open command window here". then input "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", and you can get your recovery back to your stock recovery.

Thank you very much. Did as you describe (just before reading it, i found out you can't flash an img file through twrp, so googled and found had to do it from PC via the fastboot command ... did that, but when i now try to reboot into recovery i get the green droid and a red exclamation mark ... Haven't found out how to solve that. Right after initiating the command, the first output is "variable not supported!", but the phone did flash. I did try a second time, but get the same result. So i now can't get into a recovery and can't flash Android 4.2.2. Any suggestions ?

Found it: while seeing the droid and red exclamation, i can press "Volume Down and Power" and get a menu, am flashing the 4.2.2. while i type this. Thanks!
Mine is press the up and power button. Do you success to flash 4.2.2? I heard that it can't flash down to the previouse system, may cause some trouble?

if you are not 100% sure you want 4.4.2 i would not flash it because you can not flash back to 4.4.

[Q] Support Possibly Bricked (Soft-Bricked for sure)

Hi there! I have been stumped for the past 18 hours trying to fix my phone, and I decided to come to the people who actually know what they are doing. I had Cyanogenmod installed on my phone, and I wanted it gone. I have somewhat forgot the steps I have taken in between.
I am at the point where I have the following tags on my H-Boot (Version 1.56) Tampered & Re-Locked. I have TWRP installed, using sideloader always gives me a error (executing updater binary in zip). Trying to mount to sdcard, gives me a error (unable to mount /data/). Using fastboot to flash with either a recovery img or the rom gives me a error (signature verify error).
Any help is appreciated. I can Skype Screen-share and call with people, if it would speed up the process, if you would be willing to help with that, please drop me a PM with your Skype name. All and any help is appreciated. Cheers.
Unlock your bootloader at HTC Dev, that's why you cant flash recovery, and certainly wont be able to flash any ROM's with it locked.
ps. not bricked at all.

Unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP, however I am back to this rather annoying 'error: device not found' I fixed it before by killing and re-starting the server, however sideload still giving me that. Any help?
Edit: Got that working, however sideload is giving me assert failed: file_getprop and Error executing updated binary in zip.

It's the one I got told for my phone, as I am on Vodafone and it matches with my details.
That wont work, its not a zip, that's why your having problems, its the official RUU
I have a backup of the Vodafone original rom for your device, I will PM you a link, but first will you enter your recovery and backup your current rom please, the reason I ask you to do this is because by doing a backup, TWRP will automatically creat a couple of folders where you will need to put the backup I give you.

Cheers dude. I have backed up every folder on TWRP.
unzip the file I give you and extract it somewhere where you can find it all like on your desktop.
flash the recovery included in the zip, just incase of compatibility issues, its still TWRP, just a different version.
Copy backup folder and its contents to your internal phone memory - TWRP - BACKUPS - (folder named device serial number) - place the folder with the backup here.
Enter recovery and flash it.

What if u flash with fastboot the pds partition? And what is exactly the error u get?
If that doesn't work just flash with rsd-lite (latest) and your firmware (latest) and recover it. From then on u can try again.

See my signature
I assume you have a working adb and fastboot, otherwise u couldn't have installed the recovery.
Your firmware can be found under section E.
When you have downloaded your fimware (always 4.1.2). Extract it and flash the pds_signed or pds.bin. Something with pds.
This can be done by moving the pds* to the directory with the fastboot executable. Then boot into ap fastboot mode and check if your device is recognized by using "fastboot devices". If yes, do the following command to flash the pds partition "fastboot flash pds (pds-file)"
If it doesn't work, post the results. Not only that is says an error, but post the error string.

I looked a bit further into your problem, u may have this problem: this
So what we now are going to do is the following.
First can u enter recovery? and if i can, do u have a nandroid backup. If yes, restore it and just boot up the phone.
If u don't have the above. (all can be found with a bit of searching in the link in my signature)
1. Install RSD-Lite 6.1.x
2. Install the USB drivers for the phone
3. U already downloaded the right firmware (latest and the one from your region)
4. Boot in AP Fastboot and connect phone to USB port PC
5. In RSD-Lite u won't see your device. It doesn't have a system installed.
6. In RSD-Lite search in the above bar for the firmware zip file.
7. Click on flash or something. (there is a RSD-Lite tutorial in my signature in my post)
8. See what happens
9. Report back

Are you sure you installed drivers? RSD Lite should show Fastboot smi S as connected.
If you have installed drivers, and nothing is being detected, then you might want to prepare for several hours of headaches and lots of swearing.
You might have a chance doing this:
You will need to flash a custom recovery. If you can get CWM or TWRP working, you might have a chance to flash a zip.
i.e.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Since your PDS is damaged, Omar's MotoJB ROM will probably not work, so you will need to flash a clean, stock ROM.
The only stock ROMs I've found (that can be flashed with custom recovery) are:
deodexed Retail Great Britain ICS ROM
odexed Retail Great Britain ICS ROM
Note that going back to ICS using this zip file will not brick your device (at least it didn't for my phone) unless you do it with RSD Lite.
But please don't hold me responsible if it makes things worse for you.
If you manage to flash this and it works, you can then try the PDS fix.
Good luck... :good:

so now i have to flash the boot.img or what? i'm not really sure what to do with this zip
You need to flash custom recovery and then you can install a zip.
Here is a tutorial on how to use recovery, if you're unsure.

Unable to find storage partition to mount, TWRP, after BL unlock

Heyo all,
After the bootloader unlock that was just released I tried following these instructions to revert to stock 4.4.2. I was almost there until I started flashing the system.img. I did it twice after the first time took well over 30min+ just sitting there writing. I restarted the bootloader and fastboot and tried again. No luck.
Now after getting into TWRP, I am unable to mount the device or have adb see the device. I get the error: 'unable to find storage partition to mount to usb'.
How should I go about fixing this?
What was on your device before this?

If I get can get a ROM onto the device, I think I can flash it. I can get into the bootloader, I have tried using both CWM and TWRP.
I just can't mount the SD card. I think if I can get ADB to work, then I can do it.
The only problem is that adb won't see my device. I hear it beeping when I plug it in but when I type 'adb devices' it doesn't show anything.

If I get can get a ROM onto the device, I think I can flash it. I can get into the bootloader, I have tried using both CWM and TWRP.
I just can't mount the SD card. I think if I can get ADB to work, then I can do it.

Alright I got ADB to see the device in recovery. I can't get it to mount but I am now sideloading a rom. Let's see if that works.

...adb doesn't work in the bootloader. Only booted into android w/USB debugging enabled.
Check the md5 of the SBF file you are trying to flash.... If necessary, re-download it.
I also agree with @KJ that trying RSD Lite is a good idea.

Good choice, best ROM I've found mixed with xposed/gravity box. Word of advice make a nice fresh backup so you can always get back to what you have now, even save the backup file to your hard drive so you'll always have it if your phone gets wiped.
i am having same issue ,how dod you solve?

Heyo all,
After the bootloader unlock that was just released I tried following these instructions to revert to stock 4.4.2. I was almost there until I started flashing the system.img. I did it twice after the first time took well over 30min+ just sitting there writing. I restarted the bootloader and fastboot and tried again. No luck.
Now after getting into TWRP, I am unable to mount the device or have adb see the device. I get the error: 'unable to find storage partition to mount to usb'.
How should I go about fixing this?

New update released with version v1.07 (177.9MB)

Folks,
I have an update from Nubia for 177.9MB with version 1.07 downloaded (OTA) and ready to be installed..
My phone is rooted with steps from xda thread... Not sure if the update will break my phone...
Anyone has any info on this? Please advise
Aru
You can do two things with the same result:
1. Flash the ROM version you have in the recovery and you will be able to update via OTA without any difficult.
2. If you have the stock boot.img of the version of your ROM, just flash it via ADB and fastboot on the fastboot menu and you will able too to flash the update via OTA
I have a question to you. Which ROM are you using?

Thanks for your reply and apologies for the delay in my response..
I am currently running on V1.04 and I got the update via OTA... and I am not on stock boot.img and have installed Magisk...
So are you suggesting that I could get the update installed? Will that work fine?
Sorry that I am skeptical to perform this upgrade and hence the question again..

Does this update fix the right trigger glitch in Nubia???

Try enter in recovery mode and clear data and cache, then boot again. Did you do what I said to you about the boot.img?

Sometimes I get the same error and when I try again it works. Make sure you are in EDLMODE and that the port you typed is the correct. To see that you have to enter in devices manager on win10 and see in "Com Ports"

Thanks Perseo... Both the options didnt work for me... I was not able to get into Recovery and I was not able to successfully run Unbrick tool...
However since the phone was on fastboot mode, I was able to replace the recovery.img with stock and was successfully able to start the phone.. However it threw an error that the update was not installed which is fine...
Finally, I lost root because of this and which is also fine.. I hardly require root..
thanks again for your response..
Aru
