Today I bought a Moto G 2nd generation spoiled, she said she was with software problem, I thought reinstalling the stock rom solved, right? not when I received the phone it was freezed in the screen of bootloader unlocked, i tried reinstalling the stock rom the bootloader showed all results ok but when the phone restarted he kept freezed, I can still access the bootloader, recovery etc .. but I couldn't install a custom recovery the results ok but when I enter the recovery nothing more than the stock recovery
Sorry for bad english
Why do you want to install a custom recovery? Do you want to flash a custom rom?
You can try to flash the stock rom via fastboot. When it keeps freezed, try to do a Factory Reset.
i can't install stock rom via fastboot, i can't flash custom recovery and i can't flash any custom rom via stock recovery, there is no rom stock to install via stock recovery ?(OTA Update compatible)

Tried to root and install CWM, CWM installed fine but I am stuck at the unlocked bootloader warning.
I've also tried installing stock roms and Pi-Llama's and Omar's custom roms using CWM, but neither would work (P-Llama would stop at the lying down android (in CWM) and Omar's finishes installing but brings me no further).
Now I think I should flash the original boot.img but I don't know which version to flash (I don't know my device info), what steps can I take?
Also is there any way to know the software version of the phone (for use with RSD Lite)?
Fastboot -> recovery brings me to CWM
Installing stock recovery and then Fastboot -> recovery brings me to the lying down android
Update: found and installed (Through RSD Lite) the right original firmware

Hi guys, my friend just bricked his LG Optimus black, by trying to reach recovery mode through Rom manager...
When booting, the security error screen flashes and it turns back off.
I've tried to reach recovery/download mode, by trying several button combinations found on the internet, but none of them seems to work, I get the same security error screen (even when the phone is connected to PC).
Can you guys please help, I have zero experience with this phone
Your friend's phone shows security error because he flashed recovery while he was running a v30x stock rom.
With the update to official ICS, the bootloader changed and if you want to keep stock ICS with recovery you need to flash an unlocked bootloader following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160394.
You could also try using SmartFlash Tool to flash this ROM that already includes a recovery, but, if you flash it, you'll have a gingerbread ROM with an old bootloader and a recovery that can be used to flash CyanogenMod based ROMs.

Thanks, I finally managed to access Download mode and flash stock firmware, and I also flashed the unlocked bootloader, using the exe file...
But I still have a problem...
I still can't access CWM. When pressing the combination in the post you linked, it just shows me a screen, writing recovery mode, and it does nothing.
Didn't the exe file install CWM?
Is it safe to install it with Smart Flash Tool now?
Can you boot to stock ROM? If yes, is his phone rooted?

I can boot to stock ROM, and yeah I rooted it with Unlock Root after installing the unlocked bootloader.
Download terminal emulator from play store, download recovery.img from here and place it in the root of his sdcard.
Open terminal emulator, type su, press enter, type dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 and you should have finished! :highfive:
So this is what happened:
I wanted to flash a custom rom on my xperia Z.
I did what i have to do like unlocking the bootloader, rooting and installing a custom recovery.
I already downloaded my desired custom rom. When I entered into custom recovery I wiped everything as in everything under the Wipe menu of TWRP. After that I went to reboot to recovery. Unfortunately the phone did not reboot anymore. Just stucked at the sony logo. Now it cannot go to fastboot, flashmode or custom recovery. My computer cannot detect the phone as well.
Is there any way that I can still flash rom into my phone with the above situation?
Any help is much appreciated. Tia!

Are u sure you've installed the correct drivers (fastboot, flashmode, adb)? If so, fastboot any custom kernel (with recovery) and you'll have recovery.
You wiped system, but I assume you had xzdualrecovery installed, and since it installs in system you lose recovery after wiping system and reboot.
Kernel with recovery is best option, you can safely wipe since kernel does not get wiped (only overwritten by rom or other kernel)
Hi langveld! Thank you for your reply..But i cannot go into fastboot.. Will it still do?

i guess you can only use the flashtools now, first try selecting kernel only for flashing without wiping anything. And if that doesnt work, then you have to flash the whole firmware. try holding vol down when connecting, i got into fastboot mode like that last time. good luck

Hello everybody.I have bought lenovo zuk z2 pro 128gb.I wanted to root it that is why I unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP recovery.Then i flashed supersu but my phone stucked at zuk logo.I imidiately opened recovery mode and wiped dalvik cache but nothing changed.Then i wiped all wata including system.When i tried to reboot my phone via TWRP it showed that There is no OS installed in your device are you sure to countinue?i clicked yes without knowing its consequences.Nothing changed(phone stucked that logo as before).after that i searched a lot of discussions,threads and found information that i should have stock recovery in order to flash my stock firmware(i tried stock frimware flashables and custom firmwares but I got an error with TWRP).After that i deleted TWRP and backed my stock recovery but then adb didnt recognised my phone.I cannot get an access to my phone from my computer.Moreover,there is no option of factory reset in stock recovery.Please tell me if there is possibility that i can do in order to get my phone work again.Thanks in advance
So I successfully unlocked my bootloader and flashed custom ROM and recovery, first boot it was okay, I was able to setup Android and installed apps, now when I rebooted it, it only boots to recovery. Phone can still be detected by my PC, can also get detected in fastboot when in bootloader. So I think there's really a workaround for this I just didn't know how and I am now hesitant to follow web tutorials if it isn't an official forum just like this.
Things I already did:
Reinstall ROM
Reflashed custom recovery
Cleared Data/Dalvik/Cache
Factory Reset
Flash the stock firmware by SP Flash Tool, it'll help to revert back to stock and stop boot loop!
