Like an idiot, I accepted an OTA (4.4.2) while rooted with a custom recovery (Philz). I got stuck in a boot loop and proceded to run through the instructions here (method 2) to get back to stock. I have tried several iterations of this using different stock images with the same result, I can't mount /cache or /data. In the end my phone tries to boot, but gets past the unlocked bootloader screen and flashes the android laying on its back with error written below. My bootloader is 30.B2. Oh yeah, I even tried to download an experimental Cyanogenmod and install it using the ADB sideload, but it failed because it could not access /data.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
T-Mobile Moto X with unlocked bootloader.
I was following the instruction in http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/stock-h811-20i-images-kdz-flashable-t3308227 to install TWRP using adb and fastboot and I'm pretty sure I messed up because once I installed a ROM(AOKP) through TWRP and rebooted I get the attached error in a boot loop. As far as I can tell it seems I'm missing the /data partition and that is causing a crash which it tries to recover from by rebooting. Before I started I was on 6.0 official with no root or TWRP.
I'd appreciate in help in figuring out if this is fixable and if so how.
Thank you.
Use LG UP to Refurbish and flash a 10n or 20i Stock .kdz.
Hi, I need help with a (possibly) soft bricked phone. It boots, yet it reboot itself once it tries to read the multimedia files in the internal storage. The owner is a co-worker so I really don't know how or what could possibly trigger this behavior (a virus perhaps?). The device is not rooted, even if I set usb debugging it just keep rebooting and losing all configuration. Uninstalled apps respawn again once it reboots. I tried to flash it with many Odin versions to a proper stock rom, but when the device reboots all the files remain the same, as if nothing were ever done. I tried wiping everything from recovery mode, didn't work either. Whenever I enter recovery mode it updates some files and says it can't gain access to CSC. I'm not an expert on repairing phones so I'm already out of options, any suggestion would be appreciated.
Edit: Android version is 2.3

The guide is meant for Jelly Bean, but works even with Gingerbread and should repair the csc.

Didn't work either. All files are still there after rebooting. CSC still fails to load in recovery.
I saw some people with this issue in other android devices, it seems the problem is a corrupted internal memory (nothing can be erased or written). I may just give up
Try to perform this shell command:
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
It will force the format of system partition. You can do it with the Terminal included in TWRP recovery for Gingebread. Once done, you'll have to flash a firmware with Odin to rewrite the system partition.

I can't install custom recoveries, it doesn't recognize external storage and not even Odin can rewrite the recovery.
If you're sure that you can't install TWRP with Odin then I don't know how you could solve your problem, sorry. :/

Try to reboot to recovery or in download mode with this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antaresone.quickreboot
Anyway, what error is shown when you try to flash a recovery?

I tried ur mentioned app but it again takes 1-2 secs and boots to system.
I also extracted out boot.img from cm13 and flashed it through rashr but after flashing it again booted to system.
Also tried to factory reset from phone but surprisingly it again didnt show anything and booted to system.
Can You tell me any method to HARD RESET or format its system partition so i can odin it ezily.
I think that formatting system will not bring back recovery or download mode.
What's important is to gain access to download mode (because without it you can't use Odin).
Are you sure that booting your phone while pressing "Volume down" + "Home" + "Power ON" keys is ineffective?
Maybe you'll need an USB JIG to force the download mode...
I guess your device memory is broken. Because my friend's ace3 had the same problem with you, and the service center said that the emmc had been broken. So no hope at all
Hey everyone I just recently got a Moto X Pure with TWRP recovery already installed and the bootloader unlocked, unrooted. The phone was stuck on Marshmallow so I went to update and it would take me to TWRP recovery every time and when I reboot back into the system, I'm still stuck on Marshmallow. So I downloaded an app that would make me download OTA updates while still having TWRP recovery but it needed root access, which I didn't have. I tried all of the one-click root apps but non worked then I stumbled across an easy root method: ( oops it said I can't post links, but basically I downloaded a supersu zip and flashed it) which I followed very precisely and I'm pretty sure I did nothing wrong. But when I flashed the ZIP using TWRP and booted back into system it was stuck on the Motorola logo which I'm assuming is bootloop. I was going to download a stock recovery using fastboot but I discovered that it would relock the bootloader, which would render the device useless to me so I can't. I also tried wiping the Dalvrik Cache but it always failed. I'm new to all of this so please guys I'm desperate for help. Thanks in advance
Hi guys, I'm completely newbie in Adroid stuff, and need help to get back my phone.
My software:
ROM Versio: V100R001C00B133SP01
EMUI: 2.3
KitKat[/INDENT]
So, what I did before:
Unlock boot loader
Installed TWRP 2.8
Installed Kingo Root
Got rooted
Installed Super SU
My issue:
Following the article, posted on this thread link, I got some some errors, then I tried by myself extract boot, cust, system and recovery from Huawei Extractor for ROM: Sophia-L10_V100R001C00B621_Firmware_West%20European%20Region_Others_Android%204-2 and ran the following commands using ADB:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this, my phone got in boot loop, I did some search here, and found a force recovery method (putting B133 ROM on SD root directory DLOAD folder and tried force update without sucess.
Does anyone any suggestion to get my phone back?
By the way, my final gola is got Lollipop or Marshmallow working on this phone if it can be alive again
Thank you,
Ivan
