So I finally got to download Lollipop for my XT 1064, once I restarted it automatically booted into TWRP. Then I rebooted and I didn't get the update. Why is this?

Using my Moto Maker XT1060 (Verizon variant). I had unlocked bootloader some time ago using Sunshine and was previously using the most up-to-date VZW 4.4.4 firmware.
I got sick of waiting for VZW to release the Lollipop update so I figured I would try CM 12.1. Here's what I did:
Download the latest Dev Edition recovery firmware from Motorola (VZW_212.55.26.ghost_verizon.Verizon.en.US.tgz)
Flashed it to the device using fastboot successfully for a stable and clean base
Booted up and used the phone no problem
Downloaded the CM12.1 Nightly .zip file
Downloaded the latest TWRP and flashed it
Booted into recovery no problem
Used TWRP to do a factory reset
Installed CM .zip
Restart the phone normally
The phone was able to load CM and get to the Startup Wizard, but was caught in a soft bootloop (no rebooting from bootloader and buzzing, but the system would crash and the CM boot animation would come up, then repeat). I noticed this was happening at about the same time that the "Location" icon was appearing in the notification tray, so I figured it was an issue with GPS. I rebooted and cleared modemst1 and modemst2 using fastboot, but this yielded no results.
At that point I figured "to hell with it" and flashed the Motorola recovery firmware back onto it using fastboot. Now the damn thing is stuck in a soft bootloop and won't get past "Preparing device..."
No idea what happened, I have never experienced anything like this before (fully flashed 6 other devices at this point). Any help is appreciated as of all the devices I have worked with, this one is actually my personal phone. Figures it would be the one to get screwed up somehow...
Did you format/wipe /data or perform a factory reset before booting into CM?

Hey, I was recently using the Nexus Experience ROM and ran into issues with my mobile data not working. So, I decided to go back to 4.4.4 and using TWRP I ran a backup from August and it asked me if I wanted install superSU and I installed that and it rebooted and its stuck on Preparing device. its loops from the motorola boot screen to preparing device over and over. I think ive bricked the phone. any help on how I can fix this. thanks
my moto g2 xt1068 running on stock android L 5.02, suddenly got stuck in a boot loop and was unable to boot. I tried all the recovery options including a factory reset, but in vain. Finally i downgraded to stock kitkat 4.4.4 after unlocking the bootloader. Now it starts up and runs fine until i try and log into my google account or install a few apps, in which case it goes into boot loop again ..... i am suspecting a few bad blocks in the internal memory....can anybody please help me???
Hi everyone,
I've had numerous problems with OTA updates with my AT&T SM-G900A since I got it. I'm not in the US anymore and my phone was unlocked, so I thought "hey, how hard could it be" and tried to flash it.
I used the following binaries that were posted here a couple of days ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/g900aucs4cpa2-odin-files-em-hot-t3372388
I ran them through Odin3 3.09, and got a PASS - but the phone is stuck at the boot logo screen ("Samsung Galaxy S5 Powered by Android" screen).
Download mode still works, but normal booting, recovery booting and safe mode do not.
Any suggestions on what I could do?
EDIT: I used the stock image located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714455 to reflash it using Odin again. It seems to have worked, though all sorts of apps were crashing. I've just done a factory reset and am in the process of restoring it, but it seems promising for now. Never trying to update AT&T crap again.
Hey man, are you still having troubles? I just rooted my Sm-G900A, and then decided to use Odin to flash it with the 5.1.1 files. So this is what happened to me:
1: Flashed AP with the 5.1.1 file, passed but stuck at the Samsung Logo- Powered by Android.
2: rebooted into download mode and flashed "BL" or Bootloader with the 5.1.1 file and I got passed that screen. Now I'm waiting for it to optimize my apps.
My guess is after we flash the AP file we then have to flash the bootloader as well. So if you haven't tried that I'd suggest it to see what happens.
Hey everyone,
I dreaded this ever since I got my H811 G4 but I think I got the bootloop bug. I was on 20o for the longest time rooted. I just recently unrooted via Superuser and then I updated to 20p using LG Bridge last night. I was browsing Instagram earlier today when my phone suddenly crashed and rebooted. It then brought me to the LG boot logo, then Tmobile and would sometimes reboot from there or go to my lock screen, work for a few seconds, and then reboot. Has anyone found a fix or something temporary so I can back up my data and possibly downgrade back to 20o? Or does anyone know of a way where I can install TWRP from download mode possibly since I can't used ADB?
