So I have a moto g xt1068 (dual sim), apps started crashing all of a sudden. Including google play store and the rest of the apps. So I:
Tried to factory reset through settings, that didn't work (pushing the 'erase everything' does nothing)
So I unlocked the bootloader and tried to flash a custom recovery, it flashes successfully but gives something like a 'mismatch' error, then I boot to recovery, but its still stock recovery. So I copied a lollipop ota to external card to apply through stock recovery, that didn't work either as the stock recovery refused to show my external SD card.
Then I downloaded the stock lollipop rom to flash with mfastboot, every command line says okay, but when I reboot the device, its still on KitKat.
I then tried to upgrade the bootloader from 0x4807 to the latest bootloader, so I can flash a custom by live booting twrp, flash latest bootloader with fastboot commands, everything says okay,but still on radio, which means I can't flash custom ROM.
So I live booted twrp,then tried to copy ota.zip to internal SD, but it won't copy, I try to format all partitions through twrp, they all format ok, but reboot device back to crashing KitKat, live boot twrp again, copied ota.zip to external SD card first, then use twrp file manager to copy ota.zip to internal SD card, that also brings out another error. Tried to restore the device with twrp backup of stock 5.0.2, boot.IMG flashes fine, but when installing system, it cuts midway with a 'fork' error or something. So I can say that both system and data partition is corrupt. I am currently outta options. I know this device isn't in a hard brick situation. Help anybody

Problem:
Stuck at bootscreen after installing Roboto 4.3 via Rom Toolbox Pro. I'm on ARHD 12.0.
Fastboot erase cache, full wipe, dalvik wipe etc. pp didn't help.
ADB-Sideload also didn't work due to a mysteriously & out of the blue non-mountable internal SD. Something was borked when I installed the new typo, dunno how and why.
So, re-flashing ARHD from my laptop wouldn't work, furthermore I deleted ARHD.zip from my internal SD; but anyway, the SD was to no avail -> no chance to grab a Nandroid.
Solution:
I firstly changed the recovery on my black lady by flashing TWRP in order to substitute CMW. TWRP allowed me to access and mount an USB-OTG, which hasn't shown up on CMW (v6.0.3.4) at all.
So, finally I placed the ARHD.zip on the external drive, mounted the drive and flashed the ROM 2 times, as the first flash freezed on 20%. But then it went throu, the ROM settled down and the bootscreen stuck was gone.
Hello and greetings from germany,
I have a problem with my Moto G 2014 XT1068. I'm coming from rooted stock KitKat (Xposed) with open bootloader and TWRP 2.8.6.0. Everything seemed fine until yesterday, when the phone just went off (0% battery) and stayed at boot animation.
I've tried a lot of things, but the phone seems to be hardbricked:
- I can access recovery, but restoring does "FAIL" (restoring boot partition works, though). Restoring "system" aborts at about 18%, "data" immediately.
- I can access the phone through fastboot, but cannot flash anything. Whatever I do, the phone isn't changed. Tried reverting to stock (getting error when flashing gpt.bin, everything else seemed to work without errors, but no changes), tested flashing other recoveries (partition size mismatch, but that seems to be normal, whatever I flash, it keeps being TWRP 2.8.6.0), or even upgrade the bootloader (no errors reported at all, but no changes made to the phone).
- I can access the phone by MTP from TWRP, but cannot write to or delete anything from the internal SD.
Do you have any further ideas or is it an hardbrick?
Thanks in advance
René
Seems like the internal SD card is damaged, or there's a faulty partition table. Have you tried repairing and formatting /system and /data partitions with TWRP? Does it read external sd cards? If yes you could try flashing CM11 (because lollipop roms need an updated bootloader) from an external sdcard and see what happens. Also your backup could be corrupted, that's why it doesn't let you restore it at all.
As for the recovery, try updating your twrp to the latest version available (3.0). You can update twrp from twrp itself, just to see if it's fastboot's fault.
Wiped /system and /data. Didn't help. Wiping /data/media led to an error.
Is there anything beyond "wipe" to repair and format those partitions?
Thanks for the hints, will try updating TWRP and installing 11 this weekend, as external SDs can be accessed.

Hello everybody,
I am in desperate need for help.
Received my OP3T yesterday and followed the instructions to flash Sultan's CM13 ROM, unlocking bootloader, running "fastboot OEM unlock", deleting data and system partitions, attempting to flash TWRP and even using the SuperSu root afterwards.
I now have an issue where the internal memory of the phone does not show up on PC. It does not show when I am running CM13, and does not show when I'm in the TWRP recovery menu.
- Using the mount feature in TWRP does not work.
- All my file systems are currently set to ext4.
- USB debugging is on, off course.
- Tried accessing internal memory on a different PC, and still doesn't show.
I've tried completely deleting all the partitions, re-flashed TWRP and re-flashed CM13. Also tried re-flashing the original recovery and the original OxygenOS rom.
As a result, I can only access the TWRP recovery now. I have no way to copy the CM13 zip file or any other file to the internal memory.
Anyone know what's going on?
to see internal storage in TWRP you need to enter the password you definied as android login.
to see internal storage on pc go to "Settings/developer options/usb configuration and use again "file transfer" (i hope this is the english word for "dateiübertragung")
When I flashed TWRP using Odin, the stock rom is erased. When I flashed stock rom using Odin, TWRP is erased. How can I keep both? I am trying to install a custom rom but due to a bug with TWRP which doesn't recognize my external sd card (and erases everything in internal, leaving behind only TWRP), I am unable to do it.
Right now, after flashing TWRP (3.2.3, provided by DarkLord), my phone is left with no data at all and unable to mount the external SD card. So I can't transfer files from my pc. ADB Sideload doesn't work as well, it fails after few minutes of trying to start it.

No, you can't keep both twrp and stock Rom. unless there's a Twrp flashable stock rom.
Custom Recoveries (Twrp,Orangefox,SHRP,etc) for J7 prime have this bug i.e. unable to mount sd card or external storage.
For this, you either have to flash rom files through OTG or connect your device to the PC, copy rom files to your internal storage and flash it.
So I just unlocked the bootloader of my device, installed twrp and it was reading both internal and external storage just fine. Flashed Evolution X, and then tried to go back to twrp but now when I try to flash magisk it goes back to twrp splash screen and shows my external SD card as 0 mb. When I reboot to recovery again, it reads my external SD card but does the same when flashing the zip file.

Did you formatted data after flash everything?
I formatted data before flashing the rom, not after.
Edit: It was the magisk zip file that was problematic, I just flashed an older magisk version just fine. My bad.
