Got a used N6 and it won't boot.. No system? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Looking for an answer I have not been able to find as to recovering a used N6.
What I have is a used N6, with TWRP 6.8.7.1 (newest version I believe) no recovery files and does not appear to have a working system on it. The bootloader has been relocked (won't allow unlocking or reflashing of stock firmware). What I am guessing is some one unlocked it, modified it, and relocked it then somehow messed up and wiped the system ... Guessing.
It has the older 71.10 bootloader on it now, not sure if it updated beyond 5.11 or not.
Just thinking (as I write this) would it be possible to make an image of another N6 put it on a OTG thumb drive and restore that or if possible push recovery files through Fastboot or possibly ADB in recovery?
Or am I out luck?
Any know fixes?

My recommendation would be to push files through fastboot. Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008
As a note, I recently had to go through this process and the FLASH ALL file was failing to flash the system file. The answer was to manually flash each file myself (directions provided in the same post). It was fairly easy once I realized the issues with FLASH ALL.

As soon as you get android booting, go back and unlocked the bootloader. I don't get all these people locking their bootloaders... ESPECIALLY with a rom and custom recovery!
The above is almost the right advice, but IIRC it wont work with a locked bootloader.
Fortunately you have TWRP installed. Don't mess with your recovery partition until you get this sorted.
Just go download a rom, any will probably work... I would stick with an AOSP one and maybe download the 5.1.1
You may be able to just mount the phone as an MTP device, I think that may be supported by TWRP at this time? Or sideload/push.
Gimme a sec, I'll post some links

As I said most roms will probably be OK, But to be specific I would just grab a 5.1.1 version of pure nexus... say the last 5.1.1 version
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=34545
Download page for pure nexus (this does not include gapps)
Specifically I would download this one, as I said its the last 5.1.1 version. I say this because the bootloader should be fine with it whether its updated or not (I couldn't find a list of what bootloader is what version)
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347817485
Boot to recovery, and see if your phone shows up under my computer. MTP transfer should be enabled by default in TWRP and is supported by TWRP version > 2.8
If you can't get it to show up as an MTP device, you should be able to see it with ADB while booted into TWRP. Use either the push command
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...mand-to-push-a-file-on-device-without-sd-card (discussion on push)
push maybe to /sdcard if the directory exists.
I'd probably just use sideload though,
https://twrp.me/faq/ADBSideload.html
One of these should work
---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------
I'll leave it to you to find gapps for 5.1.1
I don't think you would need them though as android should still load and work fine with out them. I would simply start up the phone with the rom installed, turn on allow oem unlock, boot immediately back into bootloader and unlock the boot loader. If something happens to that recovery partition the phone is a paperweight with the bootloader locked... really not worth keeping it locked.
Once you get the bootloader unlocked, update to something current and worry about gapps then?

Thank you so much guys!! Will give this run as soon as I have a chance and update the post(may take a day or so been pretty busy at work and such)
UPDATE : @scryan Hey just want to say that did the trick, had to use a thumb drive and OTG cable to load the ROM. But was in and out with an now unlocked bootloader in under 30 minutes.
Thanks again guys!!

4.2.2 fastboot boot recovery.img won't work

Yesterday I was updated to 4.2.2 and I want rooting again, but I want backup my orig recovery before flash custom one. So I'm trying to boot into custom recovery and save my orig one but the phone won't boot also freezing and stuck in fastboot. After command fastboot boot recovery.img only long press power helps. Boot into costom recovery doesn't work on 4.2.2? Or am i missed something?

However you can flash a rooted kernel and dd the recovery partition out. That's how we got it on the ge dump
Ahh right thanks
I thought something wrong with my phone
He he nice
But basically i can flash ruu to go back to virgin stock right? As i think i'll just flash the rec and root. Thanks anyway :thumbup:

Same issue...
OK, so I'm having the same issue too.
This seems to be the only thread relating to this issue with HTC disabling remote recovery booting
i.e. can no longer do the following:
fastboot boot <recovery.img>
The bootloader just freezes / crashes and have to turn off the phone and reboot to get it working again.
What I'd like to know is (like the original creator of this thread) - is it possible to re-enable remote recovery booting? As I too would like to make a backup of my stock and unmodified rom before doing anything with it! I too have S-OFF and an unlocked bootloader (if that helps). But I'm keen not to flash any custom stuff in case any additional updates come out as I then wont be able to apply these. Just having my phone rooted seemed to prevent 4.2.2 being installed and had to use a backup to take me back to a pre-rooted stated (my very first initial backup). This has already proved it's weight in gold, so would like to replicate that even if only for my own peace of mind.
So, can anyone tell me how to enable remote recovery booting without flashing custom roms?
I was thinking is... if remote recovery booting is disabled, will it be possible to run the commands on the phone directly using a "terminal emulator" ? Therefore no longer "remote" ?
I know various adb commands, and fastboot commands... but as far as I know "terminal emulator" doesn't support fastboot? and wouldn't know the equivalent adb commands to try!
You can try flashing 1.44 hboot or just flash a rooted kernel like tbaldens with fastboot. Then use dd commands to copy the recovery to SD card
Here's the list of partitions. Recovery is 34 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317621
Stock HBoot Partition Table
I have the same problem with the HTC One Mini on 4.2.2. (Thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521197)
I am wondering, based on this post whether a different kernel command-line is needed. (Clutching at straws a tad as that bug has different symptoms and is on 4.3). If there is anyone who has flashed a custom recovery to an HTC One who wants to check this out, it's an easy hypothesis to test.
Update: I have downloaded and compared OTAs from before and after the 4.2.2 update. (Old OTA 1.31.651.2, new OTA 2.24.401.1). Comparing the updates, HBOOT has changed from 1.44.0000 to 1.54.0000. Clearly, the new version has a bug in "fastboot boot".
I have asked HTC about this - still in the process there and having some communication difficulties. In the meantime, it looks like disassembling HBOOT is the way forward. Anyone have any experience of that?
HTC have raised a bug report and may fix this in later updates.
In the meantime, I have been inspecting a disassembly of the old and new HBOOT images. The code which handles "fastboot boot" is very different in the two images. There are two specific bugs in the newer version. First, it does not set up tags for the kernel. Second, it uses a partially-buggy memcpy() function. I do not yet know whether the memcpy() bug is being triggered, but if it is then the kernel is being copied into place with two bytes out of every four missing. It would be interesting to create a tiny kernel that does nothing but reboot - this would tell us whether the memcpy bug is triggered. If not, then it may be possible to make a kernel which can generate its own set of tags.
All of this aside, however, it turns out there is an undocumented "dump" command when HBOOT is in fastboot mode. This looks like it might be able to dump the entire contents of the flash - which would mean we could essentially generate our own update.zip images. It would also mean you don't have to use "fastboot boot" to dump the stock recovery. Still looking into this.

Stuck in boot loop and soft brick

My friend's phone is stuck in bootloop and I believe it's soft bricked.
It's a stock brand new HTC One M7.
It was updating one day and he said it might have got corrupted because it just shut down and when it booted back up it was stuck at the HTC Screen and wouldn't do anything.
Over the last week I have been trying to unbrick it.
It's LOCKED and S-ON Sprint HTC One M7.
I did a factory reset, wiped cache, dalvic cache, reboot. I tried putting in fastboot and flashing RUU on it but it kept failing because the RUU I had was a lower version of the image than the current one on the phone and I read online that I can only flash backwards if it's S-OFF.
Any help?
Thanks!

if the phone is new (never tampered with) and still under warranty, send it back for repair or replacement
s-off and run the ruu
unlock bootloader, flash a custom recovery and flash a rom or a nandroid backup
post in the sprint htc one forum for more detailed info
So the first step is S-OFF because I don't think k the warranty is on it.
And then custom recovery and what was the part with a custom nandroid backup? Can I run someone else's nandroid?
And if I put S-OFF on it, I can flash an older version of RUU right?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm pretty sure that in order to S-off you will need to be booted up first? The good news is that you can flash the full factory RUU with a s-on boot loader locked device so you may need to figure out how to do that first. Do you have an adb/fastboot environment set up? If so you are practically there. On a side note, I have seen no less than 3 m7s fail and softbrick on the first attempt at applying an ota, but it was always after S-off and a conversion to fully stock gpe (these were gsm models). I figured it was just because of the mods but who knows. Anyway, if you can locate and install a fully stock sprint RUU you should be back to where you were before the ota at which point you can proceed with whatever else you want to do.

sorry for the confusion, this was not steps to follow (1-2-3-4) but either 1 or 2 or 3 or 4
if you go for option 2, yes you can flash older ruu.
for option 3, yes you can flash someone else nandroid, but it must be for your phone variant (sprint) and the ideal nandroid backup should be the same OS version.

Right, you need a booted rom to s-off. (at least for the M7_UL dont know for the srpint variant)

Not exactly, you can only flash ruu with a s-on device (and locked/relocked bootloader) if the ruu is same of higher version. In that case the OP need to find another ruu (if any available)
Yeah, I have a 4.2 image when loading RUU, therefore I'm not able to use an RUU.
So what else do I need to do?
And I do have an adb and fastboot environment set up, yes.
Should I instead just S-OFF It, put a custom bootloader on it and then flash a custom recovery?
Yes if you can achieve s-off you can put any RUU you want on it and that will rule out software issues.
Okay so I unlocked it.
However I looked online how to do S-OFF and all the articles I found said the phone has to be on an functional to enable USB debugging mode and to run the appropriate programs to make it S-OFF.
Is there any other way to do it?
Now that you are bootloader unlocked, flash a custom recovery and from there a rom. That should get you back to life so you can proceed however you wish.
I have a custom recovery.
TWRP 2.6.0.0 or something. And I loaded into it and my phone got stuck and the touch wouldn't work. It says "slide to unlock" and sliding doesn't work.
What do I do now? I can't even reboot the light keeps flashing and I even tried under a bright light and still nothing.
I'm letting the battery die to restart. When u do restart it, what do I do about the bad bootloader? Can I just put another one on there? I want Philz now after that terrible experience.

This is very alarming! Be double sure you are flashing exactly what you need. The CWM you would need is 6.0.4.8 found on this page. I'm not sure what TWRP version is suitable as I don't use it. I don't dislike it. I have used it and it has worked.
Can I just do the same thing I did before to install a custom recovery?
Will it override the one I have currently?

We will have to see what it does after you let it die. The way your phone is acting is not good. Unfortunately, we must keep in mind that it may be a hardware fault causing all of this from the start. If it will still charge offline, then you'll get a chance to see if you can power it up into the bootloader and get fastbootUSB.

why are you waiting for it to die ? if you want to get out of recovery and tough isn't working, just hold down the power button and the volume down until the lights on the bottom flash 10 to 15 times, when it goes off, release the power button but continue to hold the volume down, you are now in the bootloader, or should be.
and yes, if you flash another recovery it will overwrite the one that's on there, unfortunately, most rom's require TWRP

I also just noticed you have the Sprint M7, you cant use the normal recoveries or rom's, they wont work, you need to use the ones built for your phone, which is different to the normal gsm version.
I would try twrp 2.6.3.3 or this http://mdmower.cmphys.com/twrp-m7spr/ a newer custom compiled twrp so your os version dont get wiped on bootloader.
Dang, being with Sprint complicates things?
So will that one be safe to put on my phone? And that means I can't get Philz huh?

No it doesn't complicate things, it's the same procedure, it's like with anything, you just have to make sure you get the right files. Your phone is cdma not gsm.

Okay thank you!
It is unlocked, rooted and had a custom recovery on it!
Now the last thing I need help with is, getting S-OFF because I still can't boot up the phone.
So now I just need to get S-OFF and then flash a custom ROM image on there and flash a custom image on it or something.
All I see when it boots up is the HTC screen.

You need a working Rom on it to go s-off, all s-off tools are run from an android booted phone, so download a Rom of your choice, in your case a sense Rom, make sure you get it from the link I supplied earlier for your particular phone, move it to the same folder where your adb and fastboot are on your computer, boot your phone into recovery (main screen only, no sub menus) and plug it into your computer, the type
adb push NAME_OF_ROM.zip /sdcard/
Takes a while so be patient, the command window will let you know when it's done.
Unplug your phone and in recovery select install, select your Rom from the list and follow the instructions

So there's a slight problem.
"ADB Devices" doesn't show anything, it says "Devices not found"
The reason I would say is because it does not have USB Debugging enabled.
And I can't get into the phone to enable it because i'm not at that point yet.
Is there anything else I can do besides "adb push" to get the file on there?
Fastboot stuff works fine.
I went to the link you provided and found CynogenMod 11 I wanted to put on there.
After looking inside of the ZIP I downloaded there's a .img file inside called "boot.img" can I do anything with that?
Thanks!

[SOLVED] Stuck in "warning bootloader unlocked" screen. Device won't turn OFF.

[SOLVED] Stuck in "warning bootloader unlocked" screen. Device won't turn OFF.
Hi all,
I have a Moto G 2014 (Titan, XT1068).
I am not new to custom ROM-ing and Android hacking, had all 4 of my personal Android phones unlocked and rooted just fine - I usually know what I'm doing.
This here is my mom's phone and it's the first Moto G 2014 I attempted to unlock & root so far. I know the basics, but this particular device gives me headache...
All actions were performed on 07. October 2016 after carefully researching the latest HOW-TOs for the Moto G 2014 on XDA and other websites:
- I unlocked the bootloader using the official process from Motorola to receive the "unique key".
- I installed twrp-3.0.2-3-titan.img recovery.
- I downloaded SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip and placed it on storage.
- I booted into TWRP recovery, installed SuperSU and Wiped Dalvik+Cache, then rebooted.
Since then, I am stuck in the "warning bootloader unlocked" (WBU) screen and the device won't turn off.
If I press the power button and hold it for a few seconds, normally it turned the device off, but now it just reboots into the WBU screen, looping forever.
- I can still enter my fastboot by holding VOL-down + Power, get a adb connection with my Android SDK + platform tools on my Windows and issue adb and fastboot commands normally.
- I can still enter the recovery and do stuff with it normally.
Since this incident, I have also tried a normal Wipe (whatever the default wipe settings are) in TWRP, no change / effect.
I have no clue what to do next, other than wait for the battery to go empty that is, since I can't even turn the device off.
Some methodologically sound advice would be highly appreciated at this point. :good:
Thank you in advance.
You just can't flash the supersu file in twrp before flashing the supersu you need to flash roo.M.br.zip file in fastboot mode then you can flash the SuperSU.

Is this roo.M.br.zip file included in the Stock Rom or is it the Stock Rom itself?
Or is there another general name for this roo.M.br.zip? Because I can't find it via the search function of the forum.
Anyhow ... in the meantime I will be downloading XT1068_TITAN_RETAILDSDS_5.0.2_LXB22.99-16.3_Easy_Installer.zip which is linked on the following thread:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-stock-firmware-5-0-2-lxb22-46-t3019612
- first URL for XT1068 labeled as "***NEW*** DOWNLOAD XT1068 5.0.2 LXB22.99-16.3 RETDSDS WITH STAGE FRIGHT FIX RETAIL DUAL SIM DUAL STANDBY (EU/INDIAN/GLOBAL) 26/08/2015 BUILD ***NEW***"
But I already had a look into the archive, nowhere to find a roo.M.br.zip is even similarly named file(s).
Could you be a little more specific or provide the correct XDA thread / link?
Also, the fact that "I can't just flash SU" it must be device specific, right?
Because on my other Android phones I just installed/flashed SU via recovery mod with no problems and that was it.
EDIT: also, according to this guide here, apparently you "can just install SU", if I understand correctly and it's more or less exactly how I proceeded (unless wiping cache/dalvik after flash was harmful):

Sorry for not understanding your answer at first.
Obviously you were refering to two different things in one post and I was a little confused.
- RESTORING THE STOCK-ROM BASED ON MARSHMALLOW / ANDROID 6.0 HAS BROKEN THE BOOTLOOP IN THE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER WARNING.
The other issue was obviously that you catched what I wanted to do originally, which was to ROOT the device.
- DOWNLOADING AND FLASHING THIS "root-titan-M-BR.zip" IN THE THREAD YOU SPECIFIED ENABLED ME TO FLASH SUPERSU AFTERWARDS WITHOUT PROBLEMS.
Obviously I can now go on doing what I initially intended, which is installing CM13 on my mom's phone.
I almost thought I had bricked the phone for good.
Thank you for your support. :good:

Stuck in Fastboot Mode / TWRP without OS

Hello people,
I have an OnePlus 3T, which does not start the OS. I can open Fastboot Mode or TWRP. I do not even know which OS is installed (I think stock rom, but do not know). When I boot into Fastboot, I get the dm-verity notification "Phone is unlocked and cannot be trusted". When I boot into system, it stops at the black "Powered by android" Screen (very first screen).
When I connect my phone to the PC and open the internal storage, it shows only the "TWRP" folder.
So what Information do I have so far (with my amateur knowledge):
adb shell getprop ...
ro.build.version.release: 6.0.1
ro.build.version.sdk: 23
ro.build.display.id: omni_oneplus3-eng 6.0.1 MOB31K eng.jc.20170208.012427 test-keys
ro.modversion: OmniROM-6.0.1-20170208-oneplus3-HOMEMADE
ro.twrp.version: 3.0.4-1
When I start the bootloader:
Product_Name - msm8996
Variant - MTP UFS
Bootloader Version -
Baseband Version -
Serial Number - *****
Secure Boot - enabled
Device State - unlocked
I tried to reflash the original recovery => device did not start in recovery anymore => reflashed twrp
I tried to flash the stock ROM => did not work (with this Error 7)
So my first question: Which OS do I have? Really Marshmallow 6.0.1?
Second: Do you need more infos?
Third and most important: How to repair this mess?
What do I want: A stable, rooted ROM. It can be the stock ROM, but also a custom, I do not care right now.
I read that this unlocked-notification appears because I have the wrong kernel? Is that true? Which one do I need?
Thank you very much for your help.
Use ADB Sideload to Sideload a ROM onto the phone since you have TWRP working. It's not a huge problem, and it's easily solvable.
*OR* you can use the Unbrick tool to solve your problem.

Okay so it is not important which system I run right now? And what about this kernel thing?
I can just flash it with sideload (e.g. https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...pment/rom-kernel-resurrectionremix-n-t3524715) and finished? Rooted and particularly working?

You may want to Sideload the latest Firmware too, Open Beta 21 that is. And then Sideload a Nougat ROM. Don't sideload any GAPPs.

What is in the TWRP folder, anything? The TWRP folder would normally only be created, if a backup was created. You can possibly just boot TWRP, select the RESTORE option, select the backup from the TWRP folder, and get the phone up and running again.
Another possibility, if you aren't that up on adb commands (sideload, etc.), since you can access the internal storage, just download a ROM or fill stock ROM zip onto your PC, then just drag/copy to internal storage. Then boot TWRP, select INSTALL, pick the file, and flash it.
What is the background of the device, how do you not know the OS version? Did you receive it this way, or fixing it for a friend or something?

When I boot into Fastboot, I get the dm-verity notification "Phone is unlocked and cannot be trusted".
I read that this unlocked-notification appears because I have the wrong kernel? Is that true? Which one do I need?

That isn't the dm-verity notification. The dm-verity notification screen is similar, but says "dm-verity is not started in enforcing mode".
What you described is the bootloader unlocked warning screen. The bootloader unlocked warning screen is expected and normal (in fact, unavoidable) if the bootloader is unlocked. And unlocked bootloader is required for TWRP, flashing custom ROMs, etc.
dm-verity warning screen is in fact normal, as well, if you have TWRP installed. That one can be disabled by a couple different methods. But it's only purpose is to notify a "average" user that the system has been modified. For XDA users that are intentionally modifying their phones (TWRP, root, etc.) the warning is pretty meaningless. Under certain conditions, dm-verity will prevent the phone from booting. But TWRP and root in themselves, will normally not do that.
Neither warning means you have the wrong kernel, necessarily. And unless you (or someone else) tried to flash a kernel, there really isn't any reason to believe that.

I tried to reflash the original recovery => device did not start in recovery anymore => reflashed twrp

Flashing stock recovery will (by definition) replace TWRP with stock recovery. You probably have recovery, just the stock one (not TWRP) which is fairly useless in your case (can't flash custom ROMs, root, etc.).

Can't really troubleshoot this, unless you tell us what file exactly (file name) and where you got it from. "Stock ROM" is far too vague, and can literally mean a dozen or more different things.
Also, what version TWRP?
Using a TWRP version which does not support Oreo is one reason for Error 7. Or you may have tried a file intended for the 3, not the 3T. So these details need to be provided, before we can figure out what went wrong.
elchico92 said:
What do I want: A stable, rooted ROM. It can be the stock ROM, but also a custom, I do not care right now.
Click to expand...

You kind of need to decide which of those you want. Otherwise, there are just too many options for us to give.
Yet another option (in addition to those given) would be to flash the full stock OOS zip from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/official-oxygenos-5-0-1-android-8-0-t3728119
Then before rebooting, flash Magisk to root, and you should be all set. The full zip will put you on a fully stock baseline (including firmware). Which, if you aren't sure if you want stock, beta or custom ROM, is not a bad place to be; you can see what the "stock" condition is, before messing with things like custom ROMs. But again, it's totally subjective and a matter of personal preference, and you really do need to decide for yourself what is best for you (as an individual) at this time.

You may want to Sideload the latest Firmware too, Open Beta 21 that is. And then Sideload a Nougat ROM. Don't sideload any GAPPs.

Why not just sideload stock ROM which includes the firmware? Make life easier

Yeah, that is a good option, among many. As I mentioned, there are just too many options since the original poster hasn't even decided stock or custom ROM.

Since OP hasn't mentioned whether he wants to use a stock or custom ROM. So I gave him the link for the latest FW, in case he wants to use a recently updated custom ROM without needing to download the whole Stock zip.
Done!
Thanks a lot. The phone is working again.
I have flashed with adb sideload the firmware and the ResurrectionRemix-Rom (Nougat) and then via TWRP the gapps.
So I hope, everthing will be fine now.
answers:
- TWRP-folder: yeah I created one because I thought, maybe to restore will fix anything
- I tried to flash with TWRP a ROM, but it says "Error 7", which means: wrong ROM => but I am sure, it was the right one
- background: it was the phone of a friend of mine => he never heard anything about ROMs etc

I already offered to troubleshoot this error for your, but you never supplied the requested info. Don't assume it is the "right one" next time, but rather, give exact file names, version numbers, and let us verify. Mistakes happen, and it always is good to have another set of eyes look at the specifics.

I'm stuck in Fastboot Mode & TWRP without OS
I everyone,
Like the title say I'm totally stuck, I don't know what to do ....
I've got a OnePlus 3T few years ago, and the first thing i did at the installation was to encrypt the phone with an option of oxygen OS, and after that i unlock the oem and add root access.
But when oneplus release a major update, there was issues with phone encrypted and unlock, for that I never could make an update of the OS, so I did try to install the lastest lineage os recently, and add an "error 7".
After reading a lot of stuff and try a lot of manupilations, i'm now totally stuck with only access to the fastboot, twrp, and the recovery of oneplus.
If someone here could help me, you will be very gratefull because i can't afford to buy a new phone for the moment... thank's

This should get you back to OOS:
In TWRP:
1. Do a factory reset
2. Flash OOS 9.0.6 full rom
3. Flash this modified firmware (to avoid the issue 9.0.6 with encrypted+unlocked) https://github.com/nvertigo/firmwar...3t/oxygenos-9.0.6-bl-km-5.0.8-firmware-3T.zip (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...5-0-8-firmware-barrier-t3941164/post79758055)
4. Reboot
This should leave you with a clean install of OOS 9.0.6 and an encrypted phone with the stock recovery (TWRP gets replaced when you boot stock OOS).
From that point you can do what you want.

OK, that's a little crazy but it's working, i've got a one plus 3T A3003, but i had to install Stable9.0.3+Firmware+Modem_OnePlus3.zip and not the one for the 3T ..... then install the last lineage os 17, and everything seems to work for now !!!

Hi, thank's for your help, i didn't see your answer before and i have resolved the issue with other method

unlocked working bootloader but unable to flash anything...

houston we have a problem...
5 bucks for any good idea!
I have an old xt1068 (titan) that after an (official) update it becames a small brick... (it was stock, no modded bootloader or whatevere, just stock!)
today I decided to give it a chance but then only thing I reach is the bootloader
whatever thing (official retail firmware) I try to flash it doesn't work...
so I unlocked the bootloader with success to give a try a custom rom but suddenly I get a issue...
I can't install latest twrp (I tried also a couple of older ones), I can only boot trough (latest) twrp but whatever rom I install I get error7
I noticed that when it reboots the content (/sdcard /data and /system) is untouched even if from shell I can remount rw... it seems that I can delete but in reality I don't delete anything
I tried almost everything... if I try to re-stock upon reboot I reach the dead android robot
the device is an xt1068, bootloader 48.87 (30.06.2016), unlocked (status code 3)
any (good) ideas?
O this thing is happened to me , i has on stock 5.0 and i updated to a new version ,but after i get only bootloop so i unlocked the bootloader and flash the latest twrp , and if i try to install any custom rom twrp give me some partition are corrupt. Enter in TWRP open WIPE > Advanced Wipe > (check your corrupt partition ,in my case is the data) > Repair or Change File System > Change File System > Ext3 or Ext4 > Swipe to Change (if this don't work try olso resize partition or repair partition)

no way... I tried but nothing changes... it seems that partitions are read-only
anyway I'm not able to flash twrp (no error it just doesn't install), I can only boot twrp but again nothing changes, I tried soon after booting twrp to gain root trought supersu/magisk, all works without error but upon reboot partitions aren't touched at all
I have the exact same issue on the exact same phone.
However, what I have noticed is the fact that after SuperSu is flashed (Booting through TWRP recovery once), it doesn't actually flash at all. But what surprised me was that after the flashing, the phone reboots instead of taking me back to the recovery.
A good idea would be that maybe the bootloader isn't actually unlocked for everything. Maybe the company making the device just doesn't want us to get a new one.
In any case, I never give. I will keep trying.

The solution is simply using a different TWRP version. I had mentioned my concerned earlier and I was right. We wer einitially flashing a wrong TWRP in the device and hence the problem. I found the solution in this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_9vkJvzWcU
However, the TWRP and Su can be found here if the guy who uploaded the video has deleted it:

thank you for help but it didn't work... rebooting into recovery lands me on "dead robot" saying "no command", then after 1 minute it reboots... and reboots... and so on...
I think I tried almost everything... I'm really lost
How come!
How can it happen. It is Moto G 2?
