I just got my motorola yesterday. I did quite a few things like unlocking it and rooting it..After my first initial root it worked fine but earlier today i decided to install lollipop. I was using the twrp version 2.7 to install the rom but i realised it wasnt working till i tried a few more time and it finally it. I tried back up my stock 4.4.4 room before i installed my new rom but it failed several times because i think the recovery was faulty to say the least. Anyways my lollipop worked very fine but i notice anytime i restarted the phone it took a long freaking time to restart but it was working normal as usual until i restarted my phone another time and realised i couldn't go past the bootanimation.It takes forever but i never get past it. I then decided to flash the twrp 2.8.0.1. After flashing i realised I could do a backup but it was too late. I tried a few tricks I've always used to get past the bootanimation like mounting the storage but it never shows up on my pc. I also tried side loading the rom using the adb sideload command but it never workedd.it always shows up saying "error: device not found" but when i go back to the bootloader and use the fastbootdevices command it shows up my device. IS there any recovery that will allow me to sucessfully mount my storage or sideload my rom without all this hussle?
rom:TitanPrimeROMv1.3-XT1068-69_RC1

Rooted
TWRP 2.0.8.1

I already have my mini sdk files
Can you fastboot flash the factory images?
If you can confirm you can get into either bootloader where ADB works or TWRP
i will make you a either a TWRP backup of a clean 4.4.4 GB UK xt1068 restore (boot.img + system folder)
or i will make a ADB mfastboot flashable (in bootloader) of the 4.4.4 GB UK ROM
LMK which you need/prefere?
So I've messed up recovery on my phone, I should add it works completely fine right now.
Previously I've rooted it and installed TeamWin onto it. One day last year, Android was bugging me to update. I clicked yes and didn't realise it won't update because I've rooted and installed TeamWinReceoveryProject (TWRP). So the update failed and I thought nothing of it.
So the other day I wanted to make a backup of my phone and tried to get into TWRP only I go into fastboot now and when I select recovery it just reboots. Anyway I can fix this so I have TWRP back?

Did you tried just flash recovery again?

Is your phone still rooted? If so just download "rashr-flash tool" by Aschot Mkrtchyan from the play store and use this app to flash the TWRP img file.
I have had my Droid turbo since launch and as such followed the path the getting root on it for some time. I used Mofo to get root back on android 4.4.4, used it again to upgrade to 5.1 while keeping root, used sunshine to unlock the bootloader when that came out, and finally installed TWRP recovery on it. I had not done much to it since, but had Intended to install cyanogenmod for a while.
Well I thought I would finally get to it this weekend. I made a nandroid back-up with TWRP, copied it to my computer, backed up some files I didn't want to lose, and went ahead and installed the latest version of cyanogenmod 13 for quark (Moto MAXX and Droid Turbo) and the necessary gapps. It all went very well. I booted into cyanogenmod just fine, and signed in to google.
I was in the process of setting things up, like preferences/wallpapers/wigets etc, while google downloaded my apps. Not long after I started doing this, nova launcher would repeatedly crash, as well as cyanogenmod's built in launcher. I got fed up with it and rebooted. But the phone shut down and started acting odd. It would show what looked like the bootloader, but the open android guy was not there, and I had no options at the top. Sometimes it would just say AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure) with no other text.
I got it to go to the bootloader after holding down the power and volume down button, and got it to boot to TWRP. But TWRP said there is no OS installed, and it refused to install anything, wipe anything, and TWRP itself crashed after a bit when I left it there to try and use ADB to push my nandroid back up to it.
Now TWRP will not load from the bootloader, and I cannot flash anything. I wanted to just re-flash the stock firmware. So I downloaded fresh copies of it from the root thread here on XDA, but no matter what, i get the error "(bootloader) Failed to erase partition" It does this for anything. I tried flashing TWRP and the fresh system image. I tried following the steps on the root thread that flash things that you need to prepare the phone for the system image, but all attempts to flash fail with the same message.
I also tried using mofo to flash a clean system image. But it just stops and quits at 7%. I have had this problem before, and got around it by using mofo 0.0.2. But I no longer have that version.
I am at a loss here. I need my phone back ASAP. Any help would be much appreciated.
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
Hello guys!
Yesterday I tried to flash the newest Lineage-built to my new G7+ (XT1965-3, bought in Germany via Amazon), but something went wrong and now I'm afraid, I bricked my phone.
It's not my first flash of Lineage, as I did this in the past already on some older Phones (SII, SIII, S5), but it's the first time, that I have a major issue.
So I followed all the steps on the Lineage-Wiki (on Win10).
After flashing the recovery (the lineage-recovery, not TWRP) I wasn't able to enter the recovery-mode, so the phone booted to StockRom. And probably this was the problem: As it didn't react to VolumeDown+Power, I reflashed the recovery a second time. After that the touch-screen is not working any more.
I am able to enter the recovery-mode and I can boot to Stock-Rom, but in both modes the phone does not react to touch, so I can only use the Volume- and Power-Buttons.
Probably I made more mistakes after that: I thought, that a factory-reset would help, but It didn't. I also relocked the bootloader, but as I saw, that it also did not bring any solution, I unlocked it a second time.
Conclusion: I have a brand new phone, with lineage-recovery, an unlocked bootloader but without touch working.
I also tried to flash Lineage, but the sideload got stuck at 47%. So Lineage is not installed and it boots into Stock, where I can not get any further without touch.
Has anyone any idea, what could be the issue and how I can fix it? I would like to start from scratch, but I don't know, what is the exact problem and if i can for example return to stock recovery.
Thank you!
---- EDIT ----
If it helps: I am able to boot TWRP via "fastboot boot twrp-xxx.img". And in TWRP the touch works!
I could flash lineage directly via TWRP from external sd-card, but i am afraid that after that I won't be able to return if something goes wron.
probably your best bet is to go right back to stock using the LMSA tool and starting fresh. I've seen others encounter similar issues on different devices and always the cleaneast solution was just to role back everything and start over.
Thank you so much. With LMSA I managed to restore everything to stock and touch is working!
So I'm going to start from scratch and finally install Lineage.
Is is indicated to use the Lineage-Recovery, as the Lineage-Wiki says, or would it better to use TWRP?
TWRP gives me the option to flash from sd-card, which seems to me better than via sideload.

Glad your back up and running. Take a look in the lineage thread, but it does appear most people lean towards using twrp, shouldnt have an issue with either however.

I'm having a similar problem. At first touch was fubar but I was able to return to stock using LMSA and now touch works. I can load TWRP with fastboot and even install a custom ROM and TWRP, but installing any custom ROM results in a boot loop during the finding and installing updates part of the phone setup during first boot. I'm tried Evolution X which I was running previously(for about a month, and then a boot loop started yesterday), PixelOS 10, and AncientOS, but all result in the boot loop on first boot after connecting to wifi.
Fixed
I fixed this somehow by manually flashing the latest stock firmware to slot a, and then extracting the evolution x Rom and manually extracting the IMG files inside and manually fastboot flashing those to slot b. I then set b as the active slot and booted up, patched the boot image with magisk, flashed that, and everything works. Not sure why twrp wouldn't do the trick.
Finally had the time to install Lineage. Now everything works.
I followed the instructions someone posted in the [ROM][OFFICIAL] LineageOS 17.1 [nightlies]-thread and the instructions of the lineage-wiki:
1. fastboot boot TWRP
2. sideload the copy-partitions.zip from lineage-wiki
3. factory reset via TWRP (wipe cache, dalvik and data)
4. sideload lineage
5. reboot bootloader
6. fastboot boot TWRP
7. sideload magisk
8. reboot system
Had a little bootloop the first time rebooting the system, but that was because I forgot to wipe data-partition in step 3. Wiping data and rebooting did it for me.
So I have a working Lineage17.1 with root via Magisk.
Thank you for the help!
I had exactly the same problem like you had. Bought a brand new moto g7 plus and after recovery flash, Touchscreen was not working anymore. I could manage to go back to the bootloader, sideloaded TWRP, but side loading lineage worked for me then. It seemed to be stuck on 47 percent, but this seems to be a normal issue, the file was there and after installing, touchscreen worked normally.
