So I basically flashed a modem.zip file that was for 5.1 on my 4.4.4 Moto X. Yup, I'm dumb, I know.
So now I'm stuck on boot loops and I'm trying to figure out how to flash the stock firmware using Fastboot.
I can put my phone in fastboot mode but as soon as I hit recovery to go to TWRP it just boot loops so Recovery is not an option for me. Any help or useful links would help. Thanks!
EDIT: I was finally able to get into TWRP. I wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache and everything returned to normal.
If your bootloader unlocked.... You should be able to just flash the appropriate modem using fastboot. Or flash all of 5.1 via fastboot or rsd lite

i have tried to do a sbf but i get put into a bootloop after i do it. rsd lite will run the sbf but every time i get a bootloop after. am i supposed to do anything when it goes to the rebooting phase. where is the latest post on unbricking or sbfing.
Is this a Verizon Droid 3? or a Bell XT860?
What was the file name of the SBF you flashed?
What is the version # of RSD Lite that you used?
its a verizon droid 3 and i used the 890 sbf

If U flash the right files the only thing U need to do is wipe data/cache with adb fastboot.
fastboot -w then fastboot reboot n ur done
thats what it was. i just needed to wipe data/cache. thanks a bunch! i love u guys here at xda!
if you are unfamiliar with fastboot adb, boot into recovery using m+pwr, choose recovery, when you get the exclamation point android error, hit the volume buttons and the menu will come up to wipe data/cache. after that a reboot will fix your loop.
Hey everyone I feel like an idiot.
I used jcase's PwnMyMoto to root my phone post camera update, running stock. I received the 4.4 OTA on Verizon today.
I went to SuperSU and clicked Full Unroot in the settings tab, then restarted my phone a couple times to make sure I still didn't have root.
After that I tried to install the update and noticed my phone won't boot into recovery now.
Is there anything I can do with RSDlite to fix the bootloop problem or am I SOL?
Thanks for all your help guys!
Boot into fastboot mode (power + vol down or through ADB) and do fastboot erase cache?
What you missed in flashing the recovery and system.....You need to get these from the latest SBF file and flash them before you take the OTA.
Fastboot erase cache to stop the bootloop then flash recovery and system then you'll be able to update. This is posted in quite a few places a little reading would have prevented this and been able to fix it

Thanks! I used fastboot to erase the casche, now I'm able to use the phone.
Do you know any links/threads where I can find the system image?
Since I'm on Verizon I don't need to re-flash the recovery, correct?

No. Part of the rooting process overwrites the stock recovery. you need to flash stock before you take the OTA.
Thanks for all your help guys!
I used Fastboot to clear cache, then used RSD Lite with an image from sbf.droid-developers.org.
Everything is working great now, running 4.4! :victory:
I got a NExus 7 wifi 2012 that was running 5.0. It was rooted, and used TWRP.
I got info about the updated and pressed install. Booted in to TWRP and nothing happened. I then pressed install in TWRP and in cache found the .zip and tried to install. Got an error.
I then booted in to android again, and flashed the stock recovery 5.0.2 (I guess it's like the stock 5.0?) and later I tried the OTA install again. Got an error.
I then read about the new "feature" in 5.0 about not allowing OTA if rooted, and I then in SuperSU completely uninstall the root and rebooted.
Later when I got the OTA update again, I thought it should work, but I still got the error.
What can I do? Right now I'm on a MAC. Can I in some way flash only the good stuff from the factory image, and in some way NOT have to factory reset the Nexus 7?

Even when you unroot, your file system is tampered. Only way to update is using factory images.
I think you can flash the factory image without user data to prevent factory reset.

How is it I do that then? What files from the factory images (unpacked) is it that I need to flash? Is it fastboot or ADB I use to flash?

I have done this with my rooted N5 and N7. You need to re-flash system.
Unpack the 5.0 factory image and
fastboot flash system system.img

I managed to do this now to. My biggest problem is now to root the device again. I've switched back to stock recovery, before I removes root, when I was trying to apply the ota.
Now when I try to flash twrp recovery, I get an error about the size. I can flash the stock recovery though, the same way I flashed system.img and boot.img.
What can be wrong? I do I get root now again?

Are you saying you can't flash the TWRP recovery now? So are you now completely stock 5.0.2?

Yes, system, boot, recovery flashed with fastboot.
When in fastboot mode, I get error, something with size, when flashing twrp. I found a CWM recovery I could flash, but it didn't boot to recovery correctly.
The twrp file is not corrupt. Tried it again and also a different version.

OMG. I'm so f-ing stupid. Blaming all the x-mas food.
Was trying to flash the Oneplus One recovery. Not the one for Nexus 7.
Hope it works better now...

So Im at a total loss on this phone. I had a moto e unlocked that everything worked fine on and Im not totally new to working on phones. But this phone has me stumped. I have a unlocked XT1095, that is rooted. I tried to install TWRP on it, I can flash the .img file okay but everytime I reboot the phone to go into the recovery menu option, the phone just goes black and shuts off. I can't get into the recovery at all or any of the other fastboot options. My specs are as follows, Moto X 2nd gen, 5.1, system version is 23.16.3.victara_tmo.tmo.en.US tmo build number, LPE23.32-21.3
Don't reboot the phone after you flash TWRP. Select recovery from fastboot as soon as you flash it.

I just tried that today and it still shuts the phone off. The other odd thing is I tried to do this OTA update that was only a few MB. Once I tried that, it booted into TWRP just fine but into a boot loop. I had to delete the cached update file in order to get it to boot up properly.
Tried to install TWRP on my XT1097. The bootloader is unlocked and I'm running stock Marshmallow (XT1095). When I flash in the bootloader, it says SUCCESS, but when I boot into recovery, I get the dead Android and No Command. Is there something resetting the recovery or could it be that I didn't flash the partition when I upgraded to 6? I tried both fastboot and mfastboot. Same result. Thanks for the help.

After you flash twrp don't reboot. Open recovery right away.
If you reboot before starting twrp the old recovery comes back.
