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

Hi,
I've made a huge mistake when flashing a stock image back onto my nexus 6, I was on Chroma Rom with TWRP recovery, I'd dropped my phone which I am claiming for on my insurance, the phone still works but the screen is cracked, because of the repairs I wanted to ensure that my phone was back running stock. When flashing recovery I stupidly forgot to reflash stock recovery before re-locking the bootloader. My phone is refusing to boot into android, and I can't unlock the bootloader because of the developer option introduced in Android 5.0.
Please somebody tell me there is a way around this, and that I haven't bricked my phone.
Thanks in advance.
Please disregard this thread. I managed to get out of the bootloop by using TWRP, I got could not mount errors every previous time I tried it, but it worked the latest time.
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?

Hi Folks
Hope someone can help. Any issue with my mothers phone of all people
I bought her a new MOTO G2 last year unlocked the bootloader rooted and installed TWRP so I could install certain apps on it.
Today she said her phone was not working so I checked it out. It boots with the motorola start up and then just a blank screen . I tried a factory reset same thing. So I thought ,might as well try a ROM. I flashed 3 ROM's via TWRP the last one been minimal O2, I also flashed CM12 and I also flashed the stock rom all via TWRP as I can not use fastboot as the device it is not recognized by the computer
When I flash the ROM's and GAPPS with CM12 it just stays on a continues load screen . The CM12 logo, likes its loading to boot, it just never changes and the same for minimal OS.
So I flashed stock rom and same as before it loads past the boot up screen and then a blank screen
I can not flash stock via fastboot as my computer is not recognizing it so I was wondering if any one ever encountered an issue like and how they got around it as I am at a complete loss now. I have plenty of rooted phones over the last few years the latest been my G4 and I am yet to see a problem like
Any help would begreatly appreciated Thanks folks

Bootlop with a purple light.If I hold the volume up button I can get into twrp. Hope with this info you can help me out.
Twrp has to be flashed in custom recovery or with the install script on Windows.
Now you have to flash your firmware with flashtool again and you have to root it again.

Somehow found my way around it. I flash a custom Kernel and miraculously brought my phone back to life.
I installed lineage os in my le2 few days ago but now had some isssues with it. So, I decided to switch batk to custom/stock rom.
I flashed custom rom in my device using twrp recovery, but it had some issues first time. So, i cleared it and flashed it once again.
Because of that i got my recovery unistalled. Now I am facing Servor Error on logging it in for first time amd because of that I'm unable to even setup my device. Please anyone just help me on this.
