[Q]Stuck in boot after root attempt, even after factory reset. Help!

Hey guys, last night I tried to root my device (XT1058) following the guide [here](http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/howto-root-moto-x-ver-4-4-4-xt1060-t3118342). Stupid me decided I wouldn't need to go back to stock ROM like it says in the first step. I continue with the guide, follow every step, until I reboot. After rebooting my Moto X gets stuck at the white screen with the blue circle M. I panicked, read a lot of things online, followed them, and nothing worked. I reset the cache partition in recovery mode when rebooting into fastboot, still nothing. I also noticed that my device is no longer detected in ADB at all, even in fastboot. So after just giving up, I read online in multiple places going to recovery mode, and wiping the whole phone/factory resetting would fix it. It still is not recognized by ADB or finishing booting. I realize I should've been more careful. Please help!

First thing... when the phone is in Fastboot AP menu, you can't use ADB. ADB wont work and wont see your phone unless the phone is fully booted. (i.e. adb.exe and fastboot.exe use two different modes on the phone).
Next, I've seen that symptom before, but I don't recall how to fix.
I would really consider asking in the thread for the process you were following.
If no one gives you any suggestion, you could always try re-flashing the stock image for your phone that matches the highest version you've had installed on your phone. (On fastboot screen you can see bootloader version, so match you stock version to that. see the list of known bootloader versions at -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/info-warning-risks-downgrading-impacts-t3058202 ) And use mfastboot to flash it (follow option 5 in the 2nd post at -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/faq-how-to-prepare-ota-update-carriers-t3126425 )

I'm pretty sure I saw this on reddit. You had a mac right?
You need fastboot installed on your mac:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237
Assuming you have fastboot working on your mac and your phone this thread method two:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
Use fastboot instead of mfastboot for the sytem.img file.
If you receive an error with flashing system you could try:
Code:
fastboot -S 0 flash system system.img

If u can still enter recovery mode, factory data reset from it , if u can't boot still after resetting , u have to flash the full stock ROM.....

[Q] My Dilemma With The HTC One (M7)

These are the original steps I used
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU7vi388dMk
I just followed the bootloader instructions and then followed the way to root the phone.
TWRP
SuperSU
From the video used.
Alright so I'll start from the top, I have the HTC One M7 from T-Mobile and I purchased a Straight Talk SIM plus service and went to install everything.
I was originally on T-Mobile but they upped my bill to 80 a month, so I switched to MetroPCS but MetroPCS is really slow down here so I decided to switch to Straight Talk but I just read online that they are both on the T-Mobile network and are both the same in regards to speed...(so my mess up I guess? Unless that's not right.) I am in Tuscon, AZ.
Anyways, I tried changing the APN and it just kept disappearing I used the most basic setting at first and it kept switching to the LOCKED T-Mobile APN and the internet/mms won't work only calling/texting.
So I tried using a more advanced APN and instead it just disappeared, it won't save even after I touch "Save" so my search began and I saw things about Sunshine but I didn't buy this phone outright I got it a year ago online for 200$ and I am completely broke right now so I can't afford the 25$ but I need to be able to use my phone because I already paid for the coverage (Straight Talk) and I am trying to get in contact with a potential job.
So to reiterate I used both basic and more detailed APN information neither works, first one saves but goes back to T-Mobile's APN, second one doesn't save at all it disappears. I went to Straight Talk and got the APN information but once again nothing worked.
So I read online about using Titanium Backup and converting APN Backup And Restore to a system app so I can alter the APN, but I every time I tried using TB(I paid for it by the way so I can use the full version) it would hang on, "Processing please wait" I waited well over thirty minutes. I restarted my phone and for some reason the app was deleted.
So I continued to look more and found out about the S-Lock and Rumrunner, so I continued on with that and tried using Rumrunner but the ADB thing wasn't installed so I used this link, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118) tried again and I got all the way to the end (after disabling firewall/antivirus) and was stuck with the "Get unsecured" kernel error, the "Choose one of two options, bye!!!" message. So I looked into that as well, I found this one called, TrickDroid ROM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KEesTRHixE) I did all the backing up using TWRP and TB then proceeded to go to (http://lifehacker.com/how-to-flash-a-rom-to-your-android-phone-30885281) I put the ZIP file in my phone then went to TWRP recovery, I went to install it and it just hanged on the "Flashing 1 of 1" I found out that it had something to do with, "Mounting" or whatever in TWRP and I didn't so I restarted my phone.
I tried going back into recovery mode after the restart multiple times and it wouldn't work, I picked it and it just loaded into FASTBOOT every time and wouldn't load the recovery mode. So, once again, I looked into this and found Squabbi's HTC One tool kit, 3.2. I downloaded it and got it to work on my phone, I followed these instructions, (http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...48-htc-one-won-t-boot-into-twrp-recovery.html)
Reboot to HBOOT
select FASTBOOT to get to FASTBOOT USB mode
Make sure the device is in and you have fastboot on your machine
fastboot flash the recovery image
Immediately try to go into the recovery via the HBOOT menu
If no dice, reboot the system and make sure "fast boot" is unchecked in the power options. It might be unrelated, but still: do it.
Go back and try again, but after flashing recovery, reboot the bootloader and then immediately go to recovery.
If successful, reboot system then reboot back into HBOOT and then to recovery to confirm.
I went into the tool and used "Recovery," I downloaded the TWRP one for T-Mobile and clicked on, "Reboot Bootloader" then it restarted my phone and put me in the white screen, I did the flash recovery and everything went through so I went into recovery.
This is where I am at right now, I went into recovery and TWRP is saying I have 0MB internal storage but when I plug the phone to my computer I can see everything is still installed. Also, usually I read online when people have this problem their phone doesn't work at all, strangely enough mine will boot into the OS and allow me to make phone calls text and use apps, so basically the phone ITSELF is unaffected, which I haven't seen on here so either I'm a crazy exception or people just don't post a lot on here.
I also went back into Squabbi's tool and got the error that my device is offline and now I just got the error (Permission Denied)
To reiterate, my TWRP says 0MB internal storage after doing a flash recovery and I went to "Wipe" and cleared the dvleck (or something) and the cache before trying to do the install of the ROM trickdroid but my phone still completely functions.
My HBB is 1.7 I believe and I am not sure what other information you'll need, all the sites referenced above is everything I've tried and used. I know Straight Talk works on this phone because as long as I can set the APN I can successfully use it.
Please don't respond with, "If you can afford this phone blahblah code" I could afford the phone two years ago when I had a job and money, but that doesn't mean I can afford the code.
If there's anyone that can help me I'd really appreciate it.

First for your 0mb storage in twrp, this issue is in most cases caused by a corrupted data partition which is probably not your case since your phone is working fine. You might not have installed the right twrp version. Can you post a link to the exact version of TWRP you have flashed?
For your APN issue, I'm presuming your phone is already sim-unlocked right? That might only be an issue with the stock T-MOB rom not allowing you to edit the APN. You'll probably be fine after flashing another rom.
S-off (rumrunner) is not related to APN problems. + Rumrunner won't work on hboot 1.57, only Sunshine will but anyway S-OFF is not really needed if you can fix it by flashing a rom.
So make sure you flash the right twrp version for GSM (2.8.6.0) then make a nandroid backup of your current config (and better to make a copy of this backup on your computer) and then see if the 0mb issue is solved, if yes flash your rom and try to set your APN again, If its still says 0mb then you'll have to fix the corrupted partitions.

Well I searched high and low and I finally found this thing called, ".img" and it was the original android one supposedly, so I used the toolkit to flash it and I guess it wiped everything off my phone and now it's factory again, strangely enough on the white screen it still says "Tampered" "Unlocked" so now I guess I just have to run through the motions again?
I am so new to this, I only unlocked/rooted/custom recovery'd my phone so that I can hack into some games I was playing to have more fun but after this whole issue with the Straight Talk thing I realized I had to go far above and beyond..
The link for TWRP is htconem7gsm
(Wouldn't let me post the link)
Are there like manuals online on how to do this? I see so many threads, so many questions so many different ways of doing all this and it's VERY confusing.
For instance, I saw something about bulletproof and liquidsmooth, what are those? Now that I have more information, once I can change the APN I would like to install the cream of the crop, if possible.
I believe my phone is sim unlocked, when I put in the new sim card it doesn't say sim read error or anything and it lets me make calls/texts but it won't let me access the web or do MMS because of the APN settings.
I just would like some step by steps on how to change the APN and get all these things back on my android, I don't like the stock stuff so.
My first initial change was going to use Titanium Back-up to make APN Backup And Restore a system app so I could change the APN since the phone locked out my ability to use 3rd party apps to change it, but to change that to a system app required s-off, so...
I've just been sitting here rattling my brain trying to figure this out. If you can help that'd be amazing..
Thanks for the response by the way.

Start over from scratch
First get rid of any tool kits and instead, install adb and fastboot. Minimal adb and fastboot will work fine.
flash TWRP recovery 2.8.6.0:
Download twrp 2.8.6.0 and save it in the same folder you have installed minimal adb and fastboot (C:\Programs\minimal adb and fastboot\)
boot in bootloader mode, select fastboot so "fastboot usb" is shown in red.
open a fastboot terminal window (start menu --> program --> minimal and and fastboot --> minimal adb and fastboot)
type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then boot in twrp recovery. Does it still says 0 mb?

Well this is unusual, whenever I tried opening it from the desktop icon it just takes me to command prompt, when I go to the folder (Located in x86 I'm running Windows 8) and I try opening fastboot or adb and a bunch of text from a command prompt-looking thing shows up, flashes quickly and then closes again.
What did I do wrong?

Nevermind I go it to work I swear sometimes things can be so whacky,
No now it's showing the internal data amount, it's not zero anymore.
Now what?

Well I managed to get twrp back on and installed....only issue now is where do I go for the APN stuff?
I appreciate all your help...whenever you get back online I really need to know the rest.

Now that you have twrp correctly installed on your phone, copy the rom you want to flash on your phone storage then in twrp go to "install" and flash the rom. After the phone reboot try to configure your new apn (settings ---> mobile data --> access point name

Where do I find those? Is bulletproof the best?
Also, when I tried installing that one ROM the trickdroid, it just hanged on the flash screen, someone said I needed to mount or something of the sort before flashing ROM? I am unsure...I'm a noob...sorry

and you were installing it using the wrong recovery... If trickdroid is the rom you want then it should flash fine now. WOuld suggest to use a rom like maximus. arhd or insertcoin.

Moto G 4G (uk model) Stuck on wallpaper

Hey Guys, i'm really struggling to find a solution to this as every time i try to google a solution it just comes up with a load of results trying to tell me how to change my wallpaper :/
So basically, overnight, my dad's Moto G 4G started to act strangly. It can still:
Boot up normally
Power Off normally
Vibrates when notifications come through
Rings, all be it temporarily when called and can be answered if connected to the car's bluetooth.
However, it will no longer display any of the UI (other than the Power Off dialogue) and the wallpaper. I can see that the phone isn't completely frozen as the wallpaper in use is a live wallpaper which you can interact with via touch.
When the phone is plugged into my laptop the phone is showing in 'my computer' but it shows no files, same situation in recovery and fastboot too.
I've tried wiping the cache from recovery but it's still the same.
There was one instance where the first time i plugged the phone into the laptop via usb it brought up the whole ui, icons, status bar and all, for like 2 seconds.
Now, back to nothing. Not sure what to do from here. I'm desperately trying not to factory reset it as my grandfather (my dad's dad) passed away recently and i'm pretty sure there are files on here which are now irreplaceable

Ouch, looks like an emmc problem, some partitions may be corrupted.
1st be sure if the usb cable is ok, i have seen many cable going nuts and loosing data but still charging.
If the usb cable is dead you will need a working one anyway to try to recover the phone after you got your data.
Also try apps like airdroid works, you can save everything wirelessy from your pc.
When you have a working cable and still failed to save data you can try to flash a recovery that allow mounting partitions to your pc ( twrp ) whitout booting the os, since for what i understood your android installation got corrupted somewhere and is borked.
Wich model is that one ? should be an XT1072 right ? YOU MUST BE SURE or flashing the wrong stuffs can totaly BRICK your phone.
If it's an XT1072 i have uploaded for you the latest UK stock image to mega.nz so you can dl it quickly
https://mega.nz/#!fId0yD4a!LjyEIjRXse092l7j_JL0Ky324EK6SS4vK4kdqGcS9XY
You will need fastboot + mfastbbotv2 and here they are
https://mega.nz/#!bdEDBDiQ!3KlB6WfUxUep1QR7XSvwpuCuxWnktfCh7YBX020HqmY
Put everything in the same folder ( ex c:\phoner )
open a dos shell whit admin privileges and navigate to that folder, then use this commands and check after every commands if you get back the OK on flashing (you can copy-paste them into the shell)
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata <--- DON'T use this only if you wasn't able to recover your data whit the others methods
mfastboot.exe reboot
The phone should have rebooted, may take longer to boot don't panic, now the phone should be ok and if you didn't wiped the userdata it should be 100% the same as before whit the latest stock fw, my advice is to do a full factory restore to use it, so once you recovered your data do a factory reset from the android menu.
If the phone isn't a 1072 as supposed dl here the correct zip http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=created&order=DESC
If you have more questions, especially on flashing twrp/stock just ask before doing anything that could turn the phone into a stone.

Thank you Dr. Nic for your incredibly informative response
Firstly, I was wrong initially, it is actually a XT1039 (first gen 4g) but this does appear to be listed on the file factory page you linked so I should be fine with the instructions.
What I do want to ask though is:
Is there anyway for me to boot twrp without installing it as a temporary basis? I'm sure I've done this before previously on my old moto x but it has been a while. I seem to recall you can type in a fast boot command and get it to boot to twrp. The phone is not rooted or bootloader unlocked (which i know will wipe the phone if I do it so that isn't really a permanent option yet)
Secondly, is there any way for me to find out which stock rom files I need without being able to access the os and looking in settings? I know it is a xt1039 but there are about 5 different, carrier based versions available and I don't want to flash the wrong one.
Thanks again for all your help
If this goes to plan you will have made my father's Christmas special

Secondly, is there any way for me to find out which stock rom files I need without being able to access the os and looking in settings? I know it is a xt1039 but there are about 5 different, carrier based versions available and I don't want to flash the wrong one.
Thanks again for all your help
If this goes to plan you will have made my father's Christmas special

So 1 thing at time
Probably the others fw you saw was olders versions too or for others regions, i suggest to use the same as you have or the latest
You are completly unable to check your current os installed from phone infos ? have you checked everything on the box ? somewhere there must be some infos, maybe under a barcode sticker.
This should be your latest UK stock, XT1039 aka "peregrine", do you rember if you was on 4.4.4 or 5.1 ? you should flash the same version to improve the % of not loosing something.
Clean Stock 5.1 http://www.filefactory.com/file/dpx...RINE_RETGB_5.1_LPB23.13-17.3_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
So, the cable is ok ? are you able to issue commands whit fastboot ?
If yes unlock the bootloader to install a modded recovery, you will need that to copy your files, and if that fails last try is flashing stock whitout deleteing userdata, but the corruption could be both in /data and /system so after the recovery you will have to do a factory reset anyway.
To boot twrp you have to flash it, don't worry if you want the phone full stock again is the last step you have to do that to fix the corruptions happened, and it's no 100% success rate too since that could happened becouse the emmc is failing

Oneplus 3T WiFi, Bluetooth not starting, Cant make calls

My OnePlus 3T had gone into a bootloop after updating. So I used the MsmDownloadTool V3.0.exe recovery tool to unbrick my phone. Thanks to this wonderful forum.
After this I could start my phone but wifi and bluetooth were not working. I could not make or receive calls but strangely I was able to access mobile internet. I flashed an official ROM from oneplus to my device to update the firmware but no success.
I have installed TWRP and SuperSu.
MAC address is shown as 02.00.00.00....
IP address unavailable.
In Root Browser
/persist/wlan_mac.bin
/etc/firmware/wlan/qca_cld/wlan_mac.bin
files shows valid mac address.
Current situation:
No Wifi
No Bluetooth
Cant make or receive calls
Mobile internet working
Please help..!!!

Hi I am facing exactly the same issues. Have you managed to solve yours?

If you have a backup of your EFS partition, you can try if your phone works again after you have restored it.

Unfortunatley I do not have EFS backedup. Any luck without that? or can I reuse someone's else or rebuild somehow?
Thanks for your reply.

I don't know if an EFS restore would have helped, that was just an idea.
You can't use the EFS partition of another phone because it contains data like IMEI and so on.
Did you search the forum for problems with EFS already ?

Boot into fastboot mode and try typing these two commands:
Code:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
This will force Qualcomms' modem to rebuild itself upon next boot.
Note that you have to have unlocked bootloader in order to be able to do this.

No luck, I tried all three methods as described here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/fix-empty-imei-unknown-baseband-sim-t3480781 but no success. No idea how to check if my EFS is really broken or not.
One thing I noticed, if I try to update to latest stock, the phone bootloops. Only os it works is that comes default with MSM tool which is pretty old. And from that os, it is not possible to connect to wifi, bluetooth etc.

Did you solve the problem? I am in the same situation.

after msmdownloadtool to unbrick no wifi - I found a fix
If you unbrick your phone with msmdownloadtool and then have no wifi, the solution I found is to do a locale upgrade of the OS.
Just search google for OOS 9.0.5 for OnePlus 3T (my phone), copy it to your phone and do a locale update. Problem fixed

Phone won't pick up signal unless I first boot into fastboot then press start

Hello everyone
Weird bug that I haven't seen before on any phone. I bought this used G5s Plus and the previous owner told me that it had this issue. I bought it with stock kernel, stock OS and a locked bootloader, and it presented this issue as well. I said "well, most likely this will go away once I customize it" and I was wrong, now I've unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom Pie rom, and the issue still persists.
If I reboot or start the phone normally, it has No Service on both SIM cards, I have to first go into fastboot then press power to start the phone, and that's when it picks up signal. Any ideas?

have you tried reflashing the modem part of the firmware? doing that fixed a different problem that I had with my SIM card being detected but not connecting the network.
I did
Code:
fastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
with the NON-HLOS.bin file from the same version firmware that I downloaded from Lenovo.
This thread: /moto-g5s-plus/development/flash-official-firmware-moto-g5s-plus-t3681018 shows the list of fastboot commands that will fix a broken G5S Plus. I picked the one command from that list that sounded like it was more closely related to my problem.
You could start with the modem flash command, and if that doesn't fix it then move on to the next command in the list (erase modemst1 - "erase" sounds scary, but "st1" might refer to SIM slot 1, and maybe you'll notice that this fixes your problem for SIM slot 1 but not slot 2, for example)
Obviously take care running the "erase" commands, and take backups as necessary!
