[Q] Phone totally bricked, please help! - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Moto G XT1068. I've flashed the latest ROM from the [ROM][5.0.2][titan][XT1068/69]The Titan Prime ROM[MAR 2](Version 1.2.1 RC) thread, then attempted the OTA null-null update, then upon rebooting it got stuck at the loading screen (colorful balls floating around) and whilst stuck it ran out of battery and switched off. Now I am only able to go to bootloader and recover (TWRP 2.8.5.0) (all other options take me to that same loading screen) and everything I try to do in TWRP fails. I cant do anything from adb and fastboot or mfastboot, it all fails. Anything I try to copy from pc to phone internal sd card while in recovery (in bootloader it doesn't see the phone as a storage device) either fails to copy or does and then disappears forn TWRP after reboot. I don't know what else to do, please help, I'm desperate!
Thank you

Few details are missing
1. Which rom where you using before
2. Did you wipe fully (Data, System, Cache, Dalvik (if))
3. Did you do factory reset before switching roms
4. Incase you did all and when you did the Update did it require any wiping and did you do it
5. Did you try flashing another kernel
6. Did you try with another SD Card
Try these it may help i am a very tech savy but these things usually helps

Download the ROM to a PC, transfer it to your EXTERNAL SD, and clean flash with TWRP.

[Q] No OS installed after wiping system and internal storage

So I wanted to do a factory reset while keeping the ROM (Android Revolution). Here's what I did
1. Recovery (TWRP)
2. Wipe, advanced wipe, checked system and internal storage
3. Restarted
before rebooting the system, it says "NO OS INSTALLED"
My question is does transferring Android Revolution back to my phone and installing it again in TWRP solves the issue?
I tried that but the issue now is my pc can't read my htc one and I don't know what to do. Please help.
See my post that's on page 2. I did the exact same thing and have gotten everything back up and running with some help from hayame. These are the steps he suggested and I took;
1 - Find the stock recovery.img for your device (I found mine in the AT&T HTC ONE forum)
2 - Flash the stock recovery.img via fastboot
3 - From the hboot menu, choose factory reset (when I did this it rebooted and froze on the HTC logo screen, so I had to power + vol down to get back into hboot)
4 - Reflash newest TWRP via fastboot
5 - Then adb sideload the rom you want with TWRP (this took the longest since I had to update my android sdk and refresh myself on how to use adb)
Hope this helps.
Oh and never wipe System again....I myself will consider that a lesson re-learned
You only need to do that if your SD card partition won't Mount. Otherwise just side load

Encryption Unsuccessful

So I just recently received a new (to me) Nexus 6. Going through the process of unlocking the bootloader I forgot to do the command "fasboot reboot". I then installed TWRP and then booted into it. From there I rebooted the system and was brought to a screen that says encryption unsuccessful. I hit the reset button which brought me to twrp and asked for a password. I typed in "default_password", it did it's thing and rebooted to the same "encryption unsuccesful". I tried searching XDA as well as Google to no avail. When searching Google I found some threads for other devices but I didn't want to get into a worse situation than I'm already in so I thought I'd ask here before trying anything else. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Update: I flashed the stock image (manually as the flash-all didn't work) and I was able to get the phone to boot up into Android. But whenever I reset the device it gives me the "Your device is corrupt" screen before booting into the system. And it seems like whenever I try to flash supersu or anything I'll get that message and then it just goes to a black screen and never boots into Android. I even tried to restore a TWRP backup and it still just went to the corrupt screen and then black. I was only able to get it to boot into Android after reflashing the stock images again. Is this a problem with the hardware or is there something I can do to fix it?
Edit: I've also noticed under internal storage it's only showing 23 GB available but this is the 64 GB model.

Did you format/wipe the system, data and caches - a complete factory reset ?
There are several things going on here.
1. Your device is corrupt message: This is a normal message that appears whenever you attempt to customize the device. It may also appear if there is an issue with the internal storage in general.
2. SuperSU: What version? You should be using the latest (2.76) or you risk having a bootloop.
3. TWRP: What version? Latest is 3.0.2-0. Older versions will offer to flash SuperSU. Don't accept the offer or you will enter a bootloop.
4. Internal storage: When you flashed the stock ROM you also flashed the userdata image in it, which caused you to lose half your storage. Simply wipe internal storage in TWRP to fix.
Your first thing is to fix your internal storage, which should be done through TWRP. From there, you will need to do a complete factory reset, as the failed encryption is the main reason you're getting a corrupt device warning. After the factory reset, restore the stock image, but do not flash userdata.img.
Thanks guys! Doing the factory data reset in stock recovery fixed it for me. It took about 30 minutes to complete, but now I've got root, twrp, and custom ROM and kernel with no issues.

always booting into TWRP, unable to enter into system. (solved!)

this is what i've done.
lenovo k3 note with twrp 2.8.7.2_K3_CUOCO92 and rom K3_LOLLIPOP_5.0_ROW_v1.12
i wanted to install one of the latest nougat rom. so i downloaded a twrp 3.1.1.1 made for the k3 note. i flashed the image from my old twrp and replaced choosing the RECOVERY partition.
Flashed ok, i tested a rom, AospExtended-v4.4-aio_otfp-20170708-1051- i flashed it and it worked.
OK BUT.............. i did not wipe the data partition because i received AN ERROR. the new nougat rom was ok but it was a superdirty flash with all the old apps that were crashing. what to do?
i enter into twrp, i REMEMBER that i had the data partition ENCRYPTED so i format it and after doing this i was able to do every wipe i want, included data.
OH PERFECT...... THIS IS WHAT I THOUGHT. i made a full wipe of the rom wiping 4 thinkg : data , internal storage, cache and dalvik cache.
reboot and BOOM. black screen. i press 3 or times the power button and the creen goes on... i am into twrp. from this moment i never returned to see my SYSTEM!
i tested other roms, same problem. i thought it was a twrp problem.... so i installed from the twrp an IMAGE of other twrp... i tested 2 or 3 other twrps specific for my phone k3 note.
I HAD LITTLE BENEFITS with another one.... just because when i press to reboot into system... the phone reboots into twrp AND I CAN SEE IT because the screen is ON, whilst with the "latest" twrp i found...... despites the flashing procedure was ALL CORRECT without errors, at the reboot i always entered into twrp...... BUT INTO A BLACK SCREEN MODE, like if the screen was on...touch enabled, but OFF backligt, and the only way to revive it it is to press power 2 or 3 times, to see the home of the twrp.
i've also found that on MOUNT.......... i always see SYSTEM unflagged, ok i flag it, reboot into system, actually reboot into twrp and system is UNflagged, i try the same thing ALSO flagging READ ONLY...... , idem reboot, twrp.
SEEMS THAT i cannot boot to system anymore. but..... if the twrp was fault, why for the first time let me flash the phone? i really entered into the nougat rom! i found all my old apps and files, but of course it was a DIRTY FLASH, i just wanted to make some wipes.....re flashi the rom.... but oddly i missed the possibility to return anymore to the system.
what could i do at the moment?
how to flash a original image? how to see if this recovery is ok? i donkt 'know where to find my answers......
ah last thing, while into the recovery i was always able to transfer files from pc to phone, but from minutes i am NO MORE ABLE to see the internal memory of the phone.
my computer does not see anything!!! so i am fukked i think....... i did not make anything different.
i only made a lot of wipes... a lot of flashing a lot of testin into recovery. i was able to see it from my pc and put new files through pc. now NO.
solved. i flashed with flash tools an old original firmware android 5.0, then i flased latest twrp with flashtool.... and then flashed the zip of a custom rom.

if u have backup then restore ur stock version or reeboot??

please help! Encryption Unsuccessful after update 5 with root

i tried to install the new update, and when phone restared i got massage Encryption Unsuccessful
i cant wipe, i cant flash nothing to phone because the phone cant find storage.
please help me!
Calm down, panicking is what may lead to further accidents.
Now, explain what you flashed after the (I'm assuming the OOS 5.0 File) update file. What add-ons did you flash? Any other audio mods or anything else?
What is your recovery? Which OOS version or ROM did you come from?

Had the same thing. I was lucky, because I backup all my data on my computer before update.
I was able to boot the system. I wiped it with stock recovery.
It ask for password and if u press "forgot password" u can wipe the whole phone. But it does a full wipe than. (Storage included)
An inconvenience at most but not the end of the world. Does it every time to me when I flash an Oxygen ROM. I'm always next to my computer anyway so I end up going ahead and just booting to download mode and doing a fastboot format userdata, fastboot flash recovery <twrp img>, booting to recovery, wiping everything, moving my data back to the phone, and proceeding with setting up the ROM... It's a big hassle and I know there's an easier way but I dunno...
If it doesn't find your internal storage or its only showing a percentage of your total (I have the 128GB 3T and it shows like 48 or 60GB total internal storage) you will HAVE to boot into TWRP and wipe your internal storage anyway to recover that space.. it's lost anyway, so not losing anything.

TWRP not working (pretty much everything ends with 'failure')

So I have my Moto X 2014 bootloader unlocked and rooted (Android 6.0)
I wanted to update to LineageOS, and realized everything I try with TWRP Recovery (3.1.2-0) does fail.
I am able to flash another recovery though. i tried downgrading and upgrading TWRP but it didn't help at all.
I also noticed that, while adb is working just fine, my PC can't find my device when in fastboot mode.
So the actions I tried to perform (and failed) with TWRP are: Wiping (davlik, cache, system, data, all together and separately). Trying to copy the log to the SD card also fails.
Mounting (and unmounting) partitions seem to work, at least the checkboxes work and i can see all the contents of my internal sd card.
I'm pretty much out of ideas what to do. Should I try another recovery? Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance!
