endless bootloop after doing the OTA to 4.4.2

So one of my buddies took the OTA update for 4.4.2 while being rooted on 4.4 with TWRP as his recovery. Now he is stuck in an endless bootloop. Any idea what we could do to bring his phone back to life?
By the way, he is on Sprint and has his bootloader unlocked
Any advice would help!
Thanks.

This happened to me too.
Just flash the latest firmware for your device at http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
Then accept the OTA.
Re-install TWRP.
Hope this works for you too.

So to accept the OTA, did you go through the bootloader/recovery and flash it, or were you able to turn on your phone and accept it? Sorry I don't have his phone on me right now otherwise I would have done it .

Don't flash the full SBF..
boot the phone into fastboot mode... mfastboot erase cache... the reboot the phone. that will remove the OTA zip file from chache and stop the boot loop.
The bootloop is because the phone has TWRP on it rather than stock recovery.
To take the OTA properly, use mfastboot to reflash stock recovery only. Also have him undo any hacks that might have touched system files or the OTA will fail, (mfastboot system will also get /system back to normal)...

We actually just ended up clearing the system cache and that seemed to do the trick .
I incredibly appreciate all the info! If anyone makes this silly mistake, all you need to do is clear the cache and everything works as intended.

I am having this very same problem. My phone just today went into boot loop. Running KangKat on unlocked 1053 with Faux kernel. No boot logo or anything. The phone just vibrates then after 30 seconds or so, it vibrates again. It does this non-stop.
I can plug my phone into USB and the phone's contents come up on my computer, but I can't get the screen to turn on!! Any ideas?

KangKat wtih Faux kernel? So you are not running the stock rom? I'm suprised the actually OTA installed.
I don't know anything about that rom, or kernel to begin to tell you how to fix this situation, short of reflashing your rom

He probably flashed the "Flashable 4.4.2 ZIP" that is flashable through TWRP.
@Globalrebel :
You need to try to get into bootloader (AP Fastboot) mode. Try holding the VOL DOWN while the phone reboots (vibrates). Make sure the phone is unplugged from USB. If you can access fastboot, your best best would probably to flash the entire SBF back to stock.
Always check here first before you do something like trying to flash a stock update on a custom rom. We would have quickly informed you that this is ill-advised.
Good Luck

Ok, so I have held down the power button, and then when vibrating starts, I hold down vol down button. Then, it vibrates 2 times. What now? (Sorry, I'm freaked out as this is my only phones )
How can i check to see if it is actually in Fastboot mode? Since my screen doesn't show ANYTHING at all?
I started up an ADB server and connected my phone and tried "adb devices" but my phone isn't listed.

If you get a response with that, proceed with the entire Sbf manual method as listed in the return to stock thread.

I got it to show some info after running the command. Now, I have the following guide open . .
[GUIDE][VIDEO] Moto X - Return to 100% stock (using RSD Lite OR manual flash)
But I don't see anything in RSDLite after running it and clicking "Show Device"
Can I just to the manual method?
For manual method, should I copy all the files into the same folder as my mfastboot.exe?

Yes,I suggested manual method in last post. Faster and easier.
Yes extract the sbf to the folder containing mfastboot and fastboot.
The only thing you will do differently is one of the last lines that says carrier vzw, change it to carrier sprint.
Make sure u are using the 4.4.2 sprint sbf.
Good luck

Bummer. You appear to have used the correct procedure.
This looks to be a hardware failure :/
Sorry, I don't have any further troubleshooting techniques for you...

Its all good. I think the screen just decided to die on me?!?! Which REALLY SUCKS! I'm still in my 1 year warranty policy. After fastbooting the original 4.4.2, will motorola know I did anything to the phone? IE, can they know I flashed anything?

If you unlocked the bootloader they know it. Technically your warranty is void... But they might replace/fix it anyways. Don't mention it and see what happens. Let us know.

[Q] Attempted to Downgrade and now bricked [solved]

First: I'm not blaming anyone associated with the sunshine unlock method. This is definitely my fault.
I unlocked rooted my phone and stayed on 4.4.2 and just today I used the sunshine app to unlock my boot loader. I then flashed twrp recovery using the twrp app in the play store. Then I did a backup and then I tried to update the kernel and radio using this utility http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/rom-stock-rooted-vzw-212-55-26-t2829123
It said that it worked but when I tried to boot up again it started a boot loop.
I tried manually flashing the 4.2.2 kernels again but that didn't work. Tried manually flashing the 4.4.4 ROM, didn't work. Tried flashing the 4.2.2 ROM, didn't work. Tried flashing 4.2.2 with rsd and it failed.
Now it's stuck in fastboot and won't boot into recovery or even try to boot, even if I try rebooting with adb.
I would love to keep root, but if I have to I'll do the root again if possible.
**EDIT**
If you have done the same bone-head move I made, then follow these simple steps.
1. Use RSD lite to update to 4.4.4
2. Follow this guide to then root your device once you have updated to 4.4.4
This works because your bootloader is unlocked, thanks to sunshine.

You should have never attempted to downgrade...
Try using fastboot & mfastboot.
Unplug, then turn off the phone. Boot it into bootloader mode. Once in BL, plug usb into PC.
You must have at least minimal adb/fastboot, AND the mfastboot binary (search it).
Unzip the 4.4.4 SBF into the SAME FOLDER that both fastboot and mfastboot are in.
Open a command prompt, browse to the folder containing the unzipped files, fastboot, and mfastboot. Now execute the following commands in this exact order:
fastboot flash bootloader motoboot.img
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot reboot-bootloader
[the device will reboot into the bootloader] ignore the fact that some commands are being run twice...
fastboot flash bootloader motoboot.img
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img [make absolutely sure to use the Mfastboot binary for flashing system.img]
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot reboot
If you see an error about variable not supported, ignore it. If you get a different error, post back with a screenshot.
Does it boot into android now? You should be 100% stock, unlocked. Ready to flash TWRP and root.

RSD 422 means a downgrade. What did it "say"?
Downgrading is the no no.

Thank you, however when I try the first command "fastboot flash boot loader moto boot.img" it says "(bootloader) Variable not supported! Then says (bootloader) Permission denied
But I followed the rest of the directions and it still will only boot into fastboot.

A "Permission denied" error sounds strange to me....don't recall having seen that one before.
Though I'm rather certain that your downgrade attempt (big no-no) is the culprit, I'm curious if @jcase might have any suggestions...

1) I don't think you are bricked, this should be fixable. This is due to you flashing older firmware to a device that has been updated, nothing to do with sunshine.
2) your title makes it sound like sunshine to blame, this is really bad for me. SunShine CANT brick motorola (nor htc) phones. We simply have too many safety checks, and verification. If you were able to flash and boot TWRP (which you were because you took a backup) then it can't be sunshine. It would be great if you changed the title to be more accurate.
Having said that, I have no problem helping you recover your phone, it certainly isn't bricked
I'm out from 10amPST to 2pmPST tomorrow, but please email me jcase AT cunninglogic DOT com, and I will have you up on your feet in minutes. Probably setup teamviewer and I will just remote in and do my best.

 @wisenick, you even mention in your OP you don't blame Sunshine, so why mention it in the subject?
Can you change the subject of this thread to "Attempted to Downgrade and now bricked" or "Attempted to downgrade and now phone wont boot"? That would be more accurate.

Just checked the XML and it is gpt then bootloader. I'll see if that fixes things.

Try flashing an alternate bootloader like TWRP or CWN with mfastboot. My recovery wasn't working for awhile and all I had to do was reflash it.

Stock image for XT1097?

Hi,
I have a Brazilan version XT1097, bootloader unlocked but no root yet.
I cannot install anything from play store because I get an error that does not say much.
All I did was trying to root using a guide I found that tells you to use CF-Autoroot, but it just did not work.
Then I installed TWRP to see if there was any ROMs available since I came from the Nexus 5 and was used to see tons of ROMs on xda to grab and flash.
To my surprise, none is available so far.
Now I am trying to find the original 1097 images to flash on my device and go back to stock.
Might even give up on root, if necessary, but I need the phone back
Any ideas on how to proceed?

A different problem now
The user seco2004 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4946010) has provided me with his backup image.
I followed the steps on the motorola website to flash all the files but my phone is stuck at the bootloader warning message, that one that says that the bootloader is unlocked.
When I entered TWRP to wipe all over again, it says there is no system installed...
Any pointers are most welcome!

I'm not sure if this is what you tried before, but there's pretty much no chance of anything going wrong if you follow the commands:

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img (maybe you missed this part? instead of the "system.img", you need to flash the system files one at a time, something like: mfastboot flash system systemfile_1.img, the mfastboot flash system systemfile_2.img, and then proceed with the commands below)
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo

Yeah, it was actually the 4.4.4 Brazilian firmware, feel free to share it. For lollipop I have just the flasheable zip.

I really thank you, it worked for me! :good:

[HELP] Moto X bricked. How to unbrick it?

let me explain what exactly happened. l was running LiquidSmooth v3.2 on my Moto X. I have flashed few roms previously as well. I was facing no issues whatsoever but still wanted to upgrade to LiquidSmooth v4.0. So this time when I got on fastboot menu
and chose recovery, I got invalid kernel/ ramdisk size error. I was not able to enter recovery menu and this has happened to me for the first time. I chose normal reboot and then even the phone was working fine. But now, things have gone worse. I entered fastboot menu again and by mistake chose factory option instead of recovery. Phone started rebooting i think. As i had installed LiveLog app on my phone all I could see was logs on the screen. I waited for around 45 minutes but phone didnt boot up. I switched off and restarted again but same result. I think it is bricked. Is there any way I can get my phone back to working state? Any kind of help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Returning to Stock
Step one
Downloading the required drivers and software
Motorola Device Drivers
https://motorola-global-portal.custh...ail/a_id/88481
Android SDK
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
MFastboot(Used for manually downgrading to 4.2.2)
http://mark.cdmaforums.com/X-STUFF/mfastboot-442.zip
For firmware Download from the link below
http://www.filefactory.com/file/3qr..._4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26_18_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step Two
Returning device Stock and Locking Bootloader
1. Open your firmware and extract the files to the same folder as adb/fastboot and mfastboot.
2. open a CMD window and CD into the directory that we just extracted all the files too
3. type below commands one by one
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot oem lock
i recommend wiping your device also but that is up to you if you dont want
to then skip the next two commands and just type the reboot command
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
after your phone is done rebooting you will be completely stock firmware of your choice
Enjoy

you can def do that but if you want to try to bring it back to life without going to stock you can try this.
Flash your custom recovery again threw fastboot. then after that if you can boot into it just reinstall LS rom and try and boot your phone up if no luck then just follow the above guide from my thread and return to stock and redo everything

Thanks for the help guys. I have a question here : Will returning to stock undo root ? And do I have to unlock the bootloader again ??

Yes Root Romoved, don't use last command "fastboot oem lock" if you want bootloader still unlocked

Sound advice above... Except there's no reason to lock your bootloader again. I'd skip that part. And remain unlocked. ?

Thanks a lot. I will try this method today and then flash LiquidSmooth v4.0. Just in case if I face any problem, I'll be back.

I'm facing problems downloading the firmware from the filefactory. Is there any mirror link ?
Also, for this operation do I have to use this file only or can I use LiquidSmooth v3.2 file as well?

what carrier is your phone from i will try and find a good like for the stock firmware.
but like i said i would try to just flash the custom recovery and see if you can boot into it. if you can you might not have to go back to completely stock from the recovery you can iinstall liquid smooth rom. it has its own kernel so it should fix the kernel issue and system issues. if not then you can go back to flashing everything to stock.

It didn't come with any carrier. I bought it here in India.
Sorry for the noobie question here, but does USB debugginv needs to be on for this, as I dont remember if its on or not.
Also, can you please guide me through the steps so that I do not make any mistakes this time. I'm really scared this time and I don't wanna hard brick my phone. I'd be really very thankful.

Thank you for your help, guys.
I think I am back to factory because I'm no longer getting the LiveLogs on the boot up screen. I'm getting the stock Motorola bootup screen that means LiveLogs and all other apps have been removed. But again, I'm still stuck on boot. Its not going past Motorola logo.
One more thing, while returning back to recovery, on cmd screen I was getting <bootloader> Variable not supported error.

No. USB Debugging does not need to be on when using RSDLite or mFastboot.

At this point, I would consider redoing the steps outlined by @dray_jr earlier in this thread.. with a few tweaks...
its important to be using the correct ROM for your phone. Is there fine print on the back of your phone, does it say XT1052? If so, the link to the Asia XT1052 4.4.4 rom should be correct.
Next... use mfastboot for ALL parts, not just system.img, and follow these steps.. Yes, the are very similar to what you did already, and yes, i know some are repeated, that is intentional.
mfastboot getvar max-download-size
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot reboot-bootloader
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot reboot
OPTIONAL, but in your case might be necessary: just before the final mfastboot reboot command, issue... mfastboot erase userdata this will erase your apps and data.
If any of these commands fail, please make sure you capture it and post it. (NOTE: there is a way to select and copy on the text from the CMD Prompt window, please do that, rather than screen shot)
Once your phone boots up properly, it will be back to stock, unrooted, but as long as you don't do the "oem lock" command with mfastboot or fastboot, your bootloader will remain unlocked. You can then flash TWRP or other custom recovery and re-root.

[Q] screen locks problem with Moto G 2014

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my Moto G 2014:
Many times the screen locks, and when i try to slide to open it, it will not open but gets locked again and again and I can't use the phone.
I had this issue with 4.4.4 and also after i updated to 5.0.2.
I tried:
1) factory reset.
2) clear cache partition.
3) I try to slide the option bar ad get to the settings but its not alway working to bypass the lock.
4) I tried also to cancel the "slide" option in the security setting to "none" but it still get locked..
what causes the issue? problem with the system? with some sensors? is it a fixable problem?

Did you try to flash stock/ custom rom?

Is your bootloader unlocked?
Have you tried re flashing the firmware. It's just a guess but your system partition may be corrupted.

Thanks you both
I never tried flash custom rom or anything, and I don't know if my bootloader is unlocked.
To flash ROM I need to unlock the bootloader? the only way to fix system partition is to flash new ROM/reflash frimware?

Well, restore to stock firmware with adb and mfastboot at it should be fixed.

Which model are you using? (XT1064 usa single sim, XT1068 international dual sim etc. etc)
The site for the official moto g stock firmwares is down so it is pretty hard to find a legit stock firmware file these days.
Here is one for the xt1064 http://www.rootjunkysdl.com/files/M...AWS_XT1064_4.4.4_KXB21.85-17_cid9_CFC.xml.zip
and one for XT1068
http://d-h.st/VOw (use the BLUE download now button not the orange download button. the orange one tries to get you to use dev host's bad download manager)
You can flash it by installing this 15 second adb installer by Snoop5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
If the latest version does not work then use 1.3
After you have everything downloaded open a terminal at the location you extracted the firmware. Reboot you device into bootloader mode by powering it on while pressing both volume buttons. Plug it into the computer and let the drivers install.
Run these commands. It is normal that the first two give you error if you are currently on 5.x firmware.
Code:
fastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img.sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img.sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img.sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img.sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata

My model is XT1063
Is there a trusted original firmware to this version?

No solution found yet after searching for 2 months .
