hello,i have a moto g 2014(guess you already knew that),but i had philztouch 6 and the touchscreen didnt work properly so instead of doing a factory reset,which i clicked,it wiped my phone so it has no os,to make sure it never happened again,i managed to put twrp 2.8.6.0,and managed to fix the"couldnt connect to drive E:" problem by formatting everything,but now when i flash a file,it says an error,"E:Error executing updater binary in zip "/usb-otg/cm-12.1(and so on).zip,and i know its trying to search for my build.prop i think,but i dont have one,someone help me
What's your phone model?
I'm guessing you tried to update from KitKat to lollipop without updating your bootloader which is causing the error when flashing cm12.1
Install stock lollipop then install cm12.1

First of all sorry for my English...
Yesterday I was trying to install vanir room to my p880 after 10 hours I rooted the phone and unlock the bootloader then installed cwm but after reboot I get stuck on logo so I used kdz and load LGP880AT-00-V20a-262-000-MAR-26-2013+0 with (after 4 hours ) then i try using twrp and finally load the room (vanir_p880_4.4.4.112414.zip) and Gapps after rebooting I started getting crashes ( aosp keyboard, com.google, home and back buttons etc didn't work)
so again kdz then i try other room Paranoid but the same thing..

I don't really know what happened, did you successfully flashed kdz?
Where did you get it from? Here?: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15
Try to flash one of these (choose correct one for you)
Than you have to install recovery again.
But before that you can try to wipe /system, /data, /cache and then flash CM11 (I know it works without problems)
And I recommend you these Gapps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

well... yes i think I flashed kdz (LGFlashTool ?) I used kdz to recover my phone to original, I know my phone is Korean version and right now I use P88020A-EUR-XXX original firmware installed with kdz
What is CM11? and how i flash it?
so I have to root and unlock bootloader again and use twrp again right?

I think you should try with CWM first, get it: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-p880.img
you can flash it with this app if you are rooted: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
then you can download CM11 from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=p880
and gapps from last mine post
and then boot to recovery, do factory reset and wipe /system, then flash rom and gapps.
Hope it helps
Crash After Flash OTA Vanir 5.0
I had a similar experience. I was installing OTA latest update of Vanir...not realising that it was 5.0...a screen came up telling me that it needed to flash another recovery...not realising why it needed that, I ignored the request to flash. Of course, I then "bricked" the phone. I was able to install the original JB 4.12 (v20c) back onto the phone but now it won't root. I've tried almost every method in this forum to no avail.:
ADB just gives a message "error: closing" when I use the boot.exe method
o4xr method does nothing
all-in-one method also does nothing
ADB does recognise the device. Drivers are installed. Any help is welcome!

Have you tried to flash a recovery using fastboot? You won't need to root (if you are going to use a custom ROM) and/or it will be easier with a custom recovery
Soft brick after last update.
Hello,
I seem to have a similar problem. I updated a few days ago using Vanir updater. There were no warnings re updating the recovery, just a warning regarding losing root. I checked restore root. The phone rebooted to the bootloader logo, then to a black screen. Now, I can access Cyanogen recovery, SW update mode, abd fastboot mode using buttons and the recovery options. ADB can see the phone only in recovery mode, but not in fastboot or SW update mode. CM recovery has no option to mount USB storage, so my PC cannot see the phone, and I cannot side load a new recovery and flash a new ROM.
Is there any way to use ADB if it cannot see your phone in fastboot or SW mode? Perhaps modify the settings.secure string to enable ADB? ADB can see the phone in recovery mode.
Otherwise I will try flashing a stock ROM via KDZ or LG firmware update tool, the re-root and proceed - but rooting was a major ordeal the first time, so I would like to avoid doing that again.
Thanks in advance.
hey guys, here's my story
i have a moto x from movistar argentina, my last official firmware was 4.4.4 with bootloader 30.B7, i was running cm12 latest nightly before 12.1, i decided to flash 12.1 to get rid of the annoying cell standby draining bug, dirty flashed it and gapps, all was fine. decided to try xposed because i need a patch to disable the proximity sensor since mine is not working.
here's where problems started. i got bootloops all over the place, decided to restore my nandroid backup i made 10 minutes ago. the problem is everytime TWRP tried to format or write data to /data/, the phone just restarted. well, i decided not to panic and download an official firmware package, 4.4.4 argentina unbranded to be more specific (couldn't find any movistar rom)
tried with rsd lite, it hangs while writing system, tried manual flash with mfastboot, it also hangs while flashing the last chunk of system. of course the phone doesn't boot.
i'm getting kinda desperate atm, can someone throw me a life saver here?
tried to format system with both fastboot and mfastboot and both give errors, when trying to ERASE system it just shows bootloader permission denied
Got it to work again
if anyone is facing the same problems i am facing right now, just flash stock recovery and do a factory reset there, then manually flash custom recovery and restore nandroid backup.
I was trying to flash custom rom to my phone but keep on getting "error executing updater binary in zip" . Trying out the options I accidentaly wiped internal storage and with it the recovery. Now i am not having any OS in my phone
I have downloaded couple of rom from Cyanogen for MOTO X (ghost) but each of them give same error ,using twrp 2.8.7.0 as recovery (haven't tried by changing with other because its the only thing left there)
Also tried
flasing custom ROM
but here the problem is "downgraded security version update gpt_main version failed"
Was running on Android 5.1 before this all happened
PLEASE HELP DONT WANT T HARD BRICK MY PHONE
You have to flash stock rom using Rsd lite and u will be good to go
can't find a stock rom asia retail android 5.1
and can't flash 4.4 it shows downgraded security version update gpt_main version
Use the TWRP here (thanks to @rrvvrr) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3171698&d=1424260997
Its 2.8.5.0. it resolves the script error on xt1052 which official verions have.
Here's the XT1052 IMAGE https://mega.nz/#!U9lRFBgD!POchMYI96ZTy16M_PGSZ4aIjo6ktpaHKaJAmp6XBUR4
while flashing the new recovery to my device using cmd is there any risk for hard brick(when I wont be able to open custom recover or bootloader)

I recommend you flash the factory image through RSDLite once and then proceed to flash CM if you want
rsd dosen't recognize device
I just have the firmware of android 4.4 for my device but lastly it was running on 5.1 so i need that and i cant find that for my device
Can you please describe the step by step procedure to do
Thanks

My phone wiped everything and is bricked atm. I'm trying to flash the image you posted here but it fails every time at the partition and system stages. It won't work in RSDLite so I tried doing it in cmd but fails at those two points. Do you know why this might be?
Thanks
Hello community,
I assume, I got a big problem. First of all, my z3c is stucked in away that i cant do anything right now.
I unlocked the bootloader some time ago and tried to flash cm on my phone. It didnt worked out for me and because i hadnt time, I was flashing via flashtool the concept android.
Yesterday I thought to try it once more. I was downloading the newest twrp for z3c and tried to flash cm from sd card and internal storage. Before I flashed, wiped th chache and personal etc.. But it says always there is a error 7, so I deleted the assets line in the update-script. Now if I want to flash cm or any other rom with the same change, it says that it couldnt find the binary-uptade (but actualy it is in the same folder). Afterwards I thought maybe it is because of the twrp and I wanted to change to the cm recovery via flashtool. I recognized that is impossible for me, because flashtool doesnt recognized my phone anymore. Win 7 says te driver is installed correctly, but shows the device as unknown! So I am stucked with twrp on my phone and cant flash via flashtool or twrp any rom.
Anyone got some help which I can do? Anything to get working rom on my phone for daily use? Thanks a lot in advance for your answer. And I am sorry if this problem was already posted.
Bests, Philipp
let me explain everything why have i created this thread.
My phone was only charging when switched off. I was on Lineage OS (by daniel_hk) at that time so i thought it is because of that custom ROM.
I, then, intended to flash stock ROM, this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-note/development/official-build-lenovo-k3-note-k50a40-6-t3370537
debloated version.
I booted into TWRP recovery (v3.1.1-2 by daniel_hk).
Wiped everything and tried flashing K3 Note S433 Debloated ROM from the link i mentioned above. I received error 7. Now i was stuck without any OS in the phone.
Then I tried to flash other version of twrp (3.1.1-0) in phone using sp flash tool but received another error- "PMT is changed for the ROM! It must be downloaded" :/
I googled and found the solution is format the flash using sp flash tool. I did it and flashed the recovery but my phone went dead completely! No responses at all.
Finally i decided to install the original S433 ROM in K3 Note using SP Flash tool but then i receved another error - "BROM: Error 4008"
Then I tried another version of SP Flash tool, v5.1628 (previously v5.1604), Received the PMT changed error then formatted again then flashed the Original ROM.
Now my phone is Unbricked but still not charging and i have no IMEI also.
Favours/Helps that i want-
1. Main thing i want my phone to charge when it is powered on. Watched this video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7qtDMu_WTU but I am not able to enter Engineering Mode.
2. I want to install debloated version of this ROM through TWRP and for that i have to flash twrp now but to flash TWRP i will need to format using SP Flash tool first (becuase of error "PMT is Changed in the ROM") and if i do that my phone will be bricked again! If i somehow flashed the recovery then i'll not be able to flash the debloated version of the ROM because of the "Error 7".
3. Want my IMEI back
Any Help will be really appreciated.
And sorry if any similar thread already exists I couldn't find the best solution for me anywhere so i created my own!
dude , first thing to remember;
even if your os is completely gone and recovery option is still working , then don't ever do these stupid things.
I've been in your place . But i always knows that if your recovery is still working then there's 99.9% you can fix it.but it seems like you've ruined everything with other flash tools. Dude , unlike every phones, k3 note has it's own k3 note manager software available in xda forums. You can download twrp backups here . Lenovo stock rom backup was here, only you have to do is download and place it on the correct folder. Then press restore!!!
But you ruined everything. I don't know if it turn on again. You came here after all of this and asking us to help now? I
install a custom rom after installing the stockrom (which got error7 during install)
after u get error7 when installing the firmware,,you wont have any os for the phone to boot.
just flash someother custom rom after u got that error.. phone will boot up.
Please compare whether all files of the stockrom you downloaded are extracted,i got error 7,and when i investigated the reason was that one of the file inside the rar file was not extracted.which inturn caused error during instalation
