As per another thread, I am having issues (bootloops at the android/moto logo screen) after replacing my Turbo screen. I am unlocked and rooted. I know this cause I was before I replaced the screen (used Sunshine) and had RR custom ROM installed. Still unlocked because I can get to the bootloader screen (Power + Vol Down) and it says "Phone is Unlocked. Status code: 3".
To try to at least get a booting phone: Is there ANY stock ROM and Bootloader that I can flash that will still keep my phone UNLOCKED? I don't want to re-lock it and then have it locked forever (which I think the latest stock updates does). I am thinking that if I can flash a stock bootloader and ROM, then I can reflash TWRP and custom ROM (and get rid of the bootloop).
I would assume that if I had put something together incorrectly then it wouldn't boot at all and I wouldn't be able to get to the bootloader screen.
Thanks for any info/advice.
P.S. I did try just reflashing TWRP but it still bootloops at the same point; and I can't get into recovery.
So, when you boot to bootloader (Phone off, then power and volume down button at the same time), and you then arrow up to "recovery" when you push the button to go there, what happens? Is TWRP not still installed or something? the only reason it wouldn't be installed is if you flashed stock firmware and wiped it out with stock recovery.
Use the hardware method
First of all, you have to turn off your phone.
Then, you need to press Volume Down button and hit power key.
Bootloader mode will be then displayed on your device.
From there, use volume up and down buttons in order to scroll up and down and power key to select.

If your Droid Turbo bootloader is unlocked, flashing stock firmware with bootloader won't lock it. The newest firmware is to PREVENT the bootloader from being unlocked by Sunshine. It won't lock it back.
However, with stock Marshmallow you will have to re-root with older SuperSu beta for initial root. Flashing with newer SuperSu causes bootloops. After you have initial root then you can update to newer SuperSu.
But first tell me what happens when you try the hardware method of getting to recovery.

also you can force the phone to boot to TWRP, even if you don't have TWRP installed on the phone...
fastboot boot recovery.img
Where "recovery.img" is your TWRP file on you PC.
if you named it TWRP.img, then the command would be
fastboot boot TWRP.img
If you need to force the phone to go to the bootloader, the commad is
adb reboot bootloader
and then from there
fastboot boot recovery.img
(where "recovery" is whatever you have named the TWRP file.)
It's basically "temporary" TWRP. It doesn't install TWRP, but makes your phone boot to TWRP from your bootloader screen. It uses the TWRP file (whatever you have named it) from your PC folder. You then will boot into TWRP, can install stuff, make a backup, whatever you want to do. From TWRP, you can even install TWRP!
But you can reinstall your custom ROM, or you can restore a backup -- whatever you want to do from the "temporary" TWRP.
I used this a couple of years ago to use TWRP to make a backup of STOCK Kitkat image. I was booted into TWRP but TWRP was not installed on the phone. The phone was still pure stock, so I could easily make a backup image.
Then I rooted the phone! And made another backup image. It was rooted stock, still with no TWRP installed.
And then last I actually installed TWRP, was rooted and made a backup of that. And posted all those images for people to use. But a lot of people forget that you can BOOT TO TWRP even if TWRP is not installed on the phone. And that "temporary" TWRP (one session) will still allow you to do anything you want.
It's a useful trick to know!

I have a Moto X 2014 Pure that I was trying to root. I said to myself, why not install TWRP? So I flashed TWRP, it gave me 'mismatched partition sizes (recovery)', but according to some other sources, that was normal. I tried to reboot into recovery, it gave me the stock recovery. I said, huh, weird, I'll flash it again. And after that, I was unable to get into recovery at all. Bootloader still works, and the phone can still boot normally, it just appears that the recovery is GONE. If I select "Recovery" from bootloader, it just turns off (seems to at least). I am running Marshmallow 6.0 on the Moto X, and I'm having a hard time finding a stock recovery for it. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

The mismatch is normal because you're flashing a non-stock recovery. Are you using only the volume rocker in bootloader mode? Is your bootloader unlocked?
Get stock firmware from here:
https://firmware.center:8081/firmware/Motorola/
Make sure you don't downgrade.
I am only using the volume rocker in bootloader, which is unlock. I managed to root my phone by temporarily booting into TWRP and installing the ZIP files. However, I still don't seem to have a recovery. At this point, I really don't need one, but I will try that firmware.
Hi there, I am currently running B383 on my P9, and really want to root it. However when I do, will I still be able to get future updates to the software? Do I need to unroot and lock bootloader first?
Also when the bootloader is unlocked, a message is displayed at boot about your phone being unsecured and non-trustworthy, is it possible to remove this message? (I used to have a moto g with an unlocked bootloader, and I flashed some file to remove the warning).
Thanks
I don't think there is a way to remove that message every time the phone is turned on. Mine does that too as I've unlocked the bootloader.
Did you unlock the bootloader yet? Because when you need to unlock it, the phone will basically be factory reset when bootloader is switched from locked to unlock (vice-versa).
And for OTA updates the best way is to do it manually, downloading the MV-PV file via Huawei Firmware finder (Full PV file which contains two files update.zip and hweu..zip, update.zip (system firmware) is flashed first then hweu.zip (The system apps).
You will need a custom recovery. The one you will need to use is TWRP (This one specifically - twrp-3.1.1-0-eva.img) to flash OTA's via custom recovery (To repeat you flash update.zip first then hweu.zip) You can ignore the errors if it prints any while flashing the OTA files as I did the same and it worked fine no problem.
When you want to root your phone, make sure to flash 'SuperSU-v.2.82-EMUI5-SELEnforcing.zip' via TWRP recovery to root your phone.
For the other questions, you do not need to unroot the phone to install the OTA updates. The phone will just unroot itself when the OTA update is flashed onto phone. You simply just need to re-root it again by re flashing the SuperSU zip as mentioned above.
When you need to boot the custom TWRP recovery you need to turn the phone off and hold power + volume up until Huawei Logo / text is displayed you must release both keys immediately after 0.5-1 second which is a short time frame to get the phone to boot to custom recovery or else it will boot the Huawei eRecovery instead.

Thanks for the quality answer, I have no doubts anymore!
Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble. I had a brand new Redmi 4X, and I was advised to install TWRP, root it, and install the Xiaomi.eu rom until LineageOS is released. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, managed to get into it once and now I can't do it again. When TWRP loaded it asked me for a password for decryption but it let me just skip it it seems (not sure if that is the problem) but now I can't boot normally, I can't boot into recovery, but fastboot seems to work okay. How do I go about fixing this?
I've tried reflashing TWRP but I still can't get to it, and I don't really know enough about this stuff to know where I've gone wrong.
UPDATE - I think this is to do with dm-verity and having the stock kernel installed. Now it's too late to undo what I've already done, so I hope to god that someone knows how to fix this.
UPDATE - Right, the problem is solved I think. I had to do an awful lot of googling, and I'm not entirely sure what it was specifically that fixed it. But I found a guide that taught me the fastboot command "fastboot boot twrp.img" which saved the day. Even when my phone wouldn't let me into recovery, it allowed me to flash a no-verity.zip which i think is what allowed me to boot, and it allowed me to flash superSU.zip and then the ROM I was aiming for. And now I've booted into the ROM successfully and hopefully I am rooted and all is well. Plus I can access TWRP as normal now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Can you boot into TWRP by pressing the buttons so that you boot directly to TWRP??
Have you tried Command Prompt to boot with commands in to recovery??
And if you get into TWRP you should have everything on the SDCard and then just
format all things except SDCard and then flash from SDCard everything
That is what I would try..and yes it ask for a password but just skip it to get to it
If you can get into TWRP to flash from SDCard then you good to go..if not
Google all the commands for CMD..and plug your phone to the PC and flash everything with the
commands.....
Let us know what is working and what not and what steps exectly you are doing
EDIT
Turn off your device > Press and hold “Power” and “Volume +” buttons at the same time.
After short vibration signal release the power button and wait for TWRP to start.
To boot in stock recovery open “Update” app.
In the setting select “Boot in recovery”.

Thanks for the reply. I can't get into TWRP. Even if I could get into TWRP how would I get files on the phone to flash them?
Is it possible to flash any rom from the pc directly and if it is will this possibly help? I think it's not booting because the kernel is still stock.
I'm not sure what you mean in the edit, how do I boot into stock recovery without being able to boot the phone (and when I have already flashed TWRP)?

Hii
I just have been reading about this bootloop
Go over here and read all of the 6 pages..will not take much time but could help you out much

Hey, I have exactly the same problem. Latest stock rom, flashed twrp in fastboot and got into the boot loop. Nothing works. I can only enter fastboot. What exactly did you do then? What is this no-verity.zip? I can't find anything about it.
I had a problem
I unlocked bootloader then installed redwolf recovery and took a nandroid backup. After that i rebooted to system but stuck into bootloop, could not boot to recovery, could not boot into system, So the only thing worked was that i flashed fastboot rom with mi flasher. And syccessfully rebooted to system with bootloader locked and stock recovery. So, if anyone have same problem you can do the same. How do i install recovery safely again? Should i use TWRP only? Should i flash v3.1.0 with lazy flasher or v3.2 directly without lazy flasher? I don't want to stuck into bootloader again, have to get all data deleted.
1900-1 variant (Android One) with unlocked bootloader. Followed these instructions and it worked fine.
I then flashed TWRP and rebooted (did not install Magisk) and that's when the bootloops started. I was still able to get into TWRP, so I did a factory data reset since I didn't care about my data. Still looping.
Then I followed the first part of those instructions (flash to stock Oreo via fastboot)...still looping, and TWRP is gone. I can't seem to get into stock recovery using the vol+/pwr so I can do an adb sideload of Pie.
Thoughts?
I have a 1900-2 & there is no stock recovery. Go to bootloader & use commands "fastboot boot ((name of recovery img(twrp.img))".
There is several threads on booting out flashing recovery. I never installed the recovery to my phone because I've already seen this problem in other threads. I just use my PC to boot twrp when I need it.

Download Pie full fastboot package. Check my previous post somewhere here.Then won't install TWRP, only boot to TWRP.

Thanks! This link to Mega that you posted?

Is that for the Android One (1900-1) variant? Although I don't suppose it really matters, since I'm not using it with Fi.
EDIT 1: well, it "worked" in that Pie would boot, but it's definitely not for the A1 and upon setup it can't find any wireless networks, so I'm assuming I need the A1 files. I did try to flash back to Oreo, but I'm bootlooping again.
EDIT 2: I flashed stock Oreo 8.1 again. I don't know if I was doing the key combination incorrectly to get into recovery (hold PWR and just once press VOL+) or I needed to flash Oreo again, but I could get into recovery. I tried flashing Pie again, but it failed since I (probably) needed to get the two Oreo OTAs (28.3.4 and 28.3.5) that have been released since the full image (28.3.3). I was, however, able to do a full factory data reset (including userdata and personalization) and that let me boot into Oreo! So I'll try the Pie thing again
EDIT 3: I booted back into Oreo and did the two OTAs. Since I wasn't rooted (only an unlocked bootloader), I did the Pie update via OTA and it worked fine.

I have my phone rooted. I have the twrp image on my phone and can fastboot into it. But it does not flash as my recovery. I have no recovery at all. Phone boots fine but has screen I have to press the power button twice on before it will boot. Saying unlocked bootloader and unsafe phone don't have any personal data.. Ect. I downgrade from a13 to a12 and an currently running the fsociety kernel. What can I do to A. Get my recovery back and B. Get rid of the boot error screen everutime I boot.
The Pixel series do not have a recovery partition; you cannot permanently install a custom recovery. If you are not using a custom ROM, there is no reason to use TWRP.
Do not try to remove the bootloader warning screen. It is part of Android functioning as intended, and trying to remove it may corrupt your bootloader.
