Tried to do things that are way over my head. After flashing lineage os and deciding to go back to stock, I have erased the OS. I wiped everything in twrp. I cannot boot my phone or access twrp, I can only access fastboot mode. I tried to flash the factory firmware but I recieve an error whenever it tries to erase "clogo" giving me a message: "bootloader permission denied failed remote failure." I have no idea how I can fix this. I am using a moto g5s plus US single sim model.

Almost impossible to really hard brick an Android device.
1 - install twrp - recommend the r15 version found in the forums
2 - forget lineage, what's available for this device isn't ready for prime time. Install another room - recommend latest pe (pretty much stock experience), but right now it has 1 fault - and to fix that you have to get the 1-17 version, extract boot.img and flash in twrp. Kernel frequencies are capped in the last 2 builds.
Simple!

Thanks guys. I ended up fixing the issue. My twrp and stock firmware files weren't in the actual adb folder, just on a folder with the adb shortcut which is why it couldn't locate the files. I seriously can't believe something like that flew over my head. Again, thank you guys so much.

I have a Google Play Edition (the real deal from Google, not flashed from something else) was on 4.3, was trying to upgrade to 4.4 using the OTA upgrade. I'm now in a boot loop. I'm *think* my issue is related to SuperSU v.1.8: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47868582
I was on Rooted 4.3 with SuperSU 1.8 running properly. Got the OTA message to upgrade. Flashed my Recovery Image back to 4.3 stock from this image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781 in the 4.3 RUU Zip.
Ran the OTA update, everything seemed to install correctly.
I can still get into the Bootloader, Fastboot, and Recovery.
On regular boot I get to the select your language screen and then the phone reboots. Just guessing that something is happening between S-On and SuperSU that is causing problems. I've tried a couple older versions of SuperSU pushed with adb in CW and have the same problem.
If anyone have a link to a stock system.img I could flash for 4.3 or 4.4 that would solve all my problems. The system.img I thought I had for 4.3 out of the 4.3 RUU Zip is too large, as is the 4.4 RUU Zip.
Thanks in advance for the help - please be gentle if I'm violating an unknown procedure. I've searched an this for a few hours and haven't been able to find anything that might help me.
Thanks,
Matt
I've upgraded 3 phones so far (all converts, not real GPE) that had super SU installed and not had this issue.
if your seeing select language it means either 1. you wiped data before the OTA? or 2. something went wrong when converting your data.
It's doubtful but possible that anything is wrong with /system. The update script checks for specific versions of files and would have error ed rather than patched a mismatch. Lets start by wiping data and cache.
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
since your S-On you can't use the RUU's and I'm pretty sure those system.img files are not signed; they are just dumps in img format so even if they weren't too big they still wouldn't work.

Thanks so much for the reply.
I did wiped AFTER installing the OTA as part of my troubleshooting. I did it through CWM recovery and regular recovery to see if it made any difference. I can do it again through fastboot if you think that will have any affect. Thanks again for the reply, appreciate it.
dunno about stock recovery but CWM doesn't actually do a proper wipe. it leaves /data/media intact. fastboot erase will rewrite the file-system.

get the error "FAILED (remote: not allowed)" when I attempt to erase and format user data
I think I'm ready to just push a stock backup nandroid on to the device - any recommendations as to which I should use?
sorry. I didn't realize the one blocks that command. I use it all the time on other devices.
I actually made a stock 4.4 nandroid last night that I'll upload soon. I haven't seen any untainted GPE nandroids posted. with a clean nandroid and the firmware.zip from the ota you should be pretty much the same as running an RUU.

Here you go:
https://mega.co.nz/#!TMlgWLDJ!ZfFlcxcRkebpb3cciULnlTf4GMJfy4grwOLi-Ied3Tg
extract the zip, then copy the folder to your recovery's backup location. I made it with CWM.
If your using CWM you can use the command adb push 2013-11-28.07.23.56 /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/GPE/
then restore it from the menu
Here's a link to the untouched firmware.zip from the OTA:
https://mega.co.nz/#!DV0UEbBY!Vv6H4Ebf8WRCXrKwe5TGDUQqnvNk-9FiSjOvhjXAQvE
flash that zip from fastboot.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 4.4 firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip 4.4 firmware.zip
fastboot reboot
should be good to go then. You'll have stock /system and stock recovery so future OTA should work.

I'm hoping this will also work for my situation as I am stuck. I purchased a pre-owned GPE HTC One. The previous owner re-loaded JB stock but left clockwork mod on there. Last night I discovered the stock recovery image and loaded that successfully (wanting a stock experience now). This morning the phone successfully upgraded to the most recent jelly bean. Soon after that upgrade kitkat was ready for download.
As soon as the install finished the phone was stuck in a boot loop. I have tried numerous things to get it to stop but i have been unsuccessful. It appears that it is S-On, which I believe is also adding to my issues. Do you think the situation and nandroid you posted above will work in my situation (total stock recovery and no superSU)?
Thank you!
s-on is not the problem unless the previous owner lied and that's a converted phone and not a legit GPE.
I assume you've done a factory reset from recovery or bootloader?
Feel to try flashing CWM then restoring my nandroid and then flashing the firmware.

It did come in the GPE box, so I hope he didn't go that much out of the way to lie! lol It is the official GPE.
I did do a factory reset with no luck.
I have tried using the RUU files I found on another thread to flash through fastboot but I get a failed 99 error.
When I attempt to find device with adb, it does not list a device ( I assume b/c of debugging), but finds fine the phone fine on fastboot device.
Also, I thought about reflashing to CWM but when I try to bring up the bootloader after flashing the CWM recovery nothing will come up at as far as a recovery and will just begin to boot the phone.
Thank for any help you may offer and I apologize in advance for my noob questions. I've flashed recoveries and ROMs on the past on other devices but this one has me stumped.
there is no legit RUU for GPE! The conversion RUU only works with s-off because it is not properly signed!
flash this CWM: http://flyhalf205.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7ul.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7ul.img
after flashing fastboot erase cache
select reboot bootloader on your phone. then select recovery.
then continue with restoring my nandroid and then flashing the firmware in RUU mode.

The nandroid worked great - not sure what you wanted me to do with the firmware.zip, I *think* the link to the firmware.zip was the same as the nandroid link. Let me know if I'm missing something. Just need to install SuperSU and then I can restore everything from Titanium.
Again, thanks a ton!
That's what I get for listening to other NOOBs when it comes to this. I did as suggested below re: CWM
here are my command lines
c:\And>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7ul.img

c:\And> fastboot erase cache

When I reboot the bootloader and select recovery it reboots and starts the loop over again. that's where I was stuck. I figured if I could load another ROM I'd at least be okay, but I can't get the darn recovery to work.
Ok - at least I know what my issue was before. I attempted to install SuperSU.zip 1.8, installs fine, but when I go into regular boot get boot looping again. Looks like I'll need to wait for an update to SuperSU.zip - if someone with authority can post in the SuperSU thread that might be really helpful.
Thanks!
good eye. I have fixed the link. here's the right one: https://mega.co.nz/#!DV0UEbBY!Vv6H4Ebf8WRCXrKwe5TGDUQqnvNk-9FiSjOvhjXAQvE
The purpose of the firmware.zip is to get all your firmware on the correct version as well as writing the stock recovery so that future OTA will work without issue [assuming of course you don't screw with /system by deleting apk you don't use or editing files].
you flash it using fastboot after rebooting to ruu mode. re-read my post.
I think you have a bad super su installer. I've installed super su 1.8 on three ones so far all running the 4.4 GPE and not had issue; however those were all converts and are s-off so that may have something to do with it. However it doesn't make a ton of sense.

As for the unlocked bootloader warning message... sure. there is a big thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/themes-apps/moto-x-boot-logos-t2417961 start around post 150 of that thread for how to make your own... in a couple of hours I'll refresh this file -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/X-STUFF/X-LogoBins.zip adding even more logo.bin files (i have about 7 or 8 more to test before I can re-zip and upload it)

I get the same error as the OP. I tried the links posted a few posts up, it wont work.
I type the commands, I get the top error message (among others depending on the mfastboots I try) and then nothing.
I am truly at a loss.
Verizon Developer Moto X
4.4.2
Device is: Unlocked
Status Code: 3
In one video I watched it said that I needed to have it say Status Code:1. Is that where I am going wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

What recovery are you trying to flash? Stock or other? Unlocked Status Code 3 is needed to flash an alternate or 3rd party recovery.
Besides the error listed in the first post, exactly what "others" do you see as error codes?
Things to try... (in no special order)
this mfastboot -> mfastboot-442.zip
re-download the recovery you are trying to flash
update your ADB and Platform Tools
There are several versions of TWRP that can work.
Unofficial TWRP 2.6.3.1 for 4.4 -> http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/motox/unlocked/twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img
Unofficial TWRP 2.7.0.0 -> http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/MotoX/TWRP-2.7.0.0-moto_msm8960dt.img
Official TWRP 2.7.1.1 -> http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/ghost
of those, I've only used the 2.6.3.1 on my VZW Dev X with 4.4.2 and below.

Thanks for the reply.
However I should have known better, I changed the USB port and it worked just fine with the mfastboot I downloaded longer than I would like to admit before I posted my question.

Still can't flash custom recovery
I have a Verizon XT1060 Developer Edition. Unlocked bootloader. Drivers seem to be installed correctly, "Fastboot devices" identifies the phone. Battery is 90%+. Fastboot menu says "Device is unlocked. Status Code 3". I have tried different USB ports on the PC, different cables to connect the phone and just about every other variable that I can think of.
I have followed all of the suggestions listed in this post and I still cannot flash a custom recovery. I have tried multiple versions of TWRP, Fastboot, Mfastboot etc.. Here is the error message...
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
error: cannot open 'twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img'
Actually depending on the method I am trying at the time, fastboot mfastboot etc., I may get a couple of additional lines that mention Max download size etc. but it always starts with the bootloader comment and ends with "Cannot open......"
Searching for "(bootloader) Variable not supported!" returns a lot of hits but I have not found anything to clear the issue. Any help would be appreciated.

That usually means that mFastboot (or fastboot) can't find the IMG file on your PC.
My first question would be... does that file exist in your current directory/folder?
i.e... at the command prompt.. type dir *.img is the twrp file listed there? If no, that is your issue. change to the folder (directory) where the TWRP IMG file is, and try it.
It is there. Here is what I got.

Since this has been driving me crazy for a couple of days I have several folders with different versions of Fastboot and Mfastboot in them along with some different versions of TWRP and CWM and I am getting the same error with all of them. This last time I just stuck the TWRP file in my platform -tools folder to try and make sure I had a good Fastboot file.
Thanks for the reply. If you have any other ideas I am eager to hear them.

Had you made ANY prior modifications to your unit before now? Any possibility you used one of the previous root/write protect disable exploits, and THEN got the bootloader unlocked?
I've seen alot of users in this situation recently -thanks to middleman
I suggest you follow the 'return to stock' thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
You should flash the 4.4.2 VZW SBF file from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
SBFing back to stock is very different from a Factory Reset in that it can actually repair a damaged filesystem, and even un-do any previous exploits you may have used.
There are 2 methods - many report that the "Manual Method" is easier than using RSD Lite. Either should work equally well, but pay close attention to the steps.
You will want to do a couple of things just a little bit differently. First, use mfastboot as suggested by KidJoe for ALL flashing commands.
Second, once your phone has been placed into bootloader mode (AP Fastboot), before you proceed with the fastboot commands listed under Manual Method, do this first:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot reboot-bootloader
Your device should reboot back to the bootloader. NOW, proceed with the entire list of commands (using mfastboot for all of them). Yes, you will be flashing partition and motoboot again...don't worry. It is intentional.
After you have completed the rest of the steps, you will likely be able to flash TWRP (or custom recovery of your choice) without issue.
Let us know if this fixes your issues.

I had not done any modifications prior to unlocking the bootloader but going back to stock is about the only thing that I could think of that I have not already tried. I will give this a shot tomorrow night and let you know how it went. Thanks for your help.

One last thing I can suggest before return to stock:
Are you trying to flash the recovery -while booted into Android-? If so, you have to have USB Debugging enabled. Some users have experienced difficulty using fastboot while booted into Android even with USB debugging enabled.
----------------
You can try flashing from bootloader (AP Fastboot Mode) instead.
To do this, unplug the phone from USB. Power off the phone. Hold down VOL DOWN and power the phone back on. You should now be booted into bootloader.
Now plug the USB back in, and try:
mfastboot flash recovery twrp_filename.img

Thanks for the advice but I am not booted into Android. I started with the phone off and got into the bootloader exactly as you suggested. I will have some time over the next few days to flash back to stock and start over again. I will post the results. In the meantime if you think of anything else, let me know. Thanks for your help.

try shortening the path the IMG resides in...
i.e. make a folder off the root of drive C call it FLASH... drop the TWRP.img into c:\flash and try flashing it from there.
Long story short, woke up with my N6 stuck at the bootloader screen and cannot do anything at it. I can only see my serial number and if I try anything else, it reloads bootloader. I am trying to flash back to a stock 6.0.1 image, however I keep getting this error while trying to do so.

I have tried Nexus Root Toolkit, tried flashing all and tried flashing each image one by one but I still get this "(bootloader) Failed to flash partition FAILED (remote failure)" on all attempts. Phone does show up if I try fastboot devices, and I have tried this on two different computers. Device is also unlocked as well, and I even tried flashing older versions of Lolipop but they all give me the same error. Drivers work fine, and I have everything up to date in terms of bootloader and Andriod SDK. I am starting to think that there is physical damage inside the phone, however I do not know how or why this occurred randomly. Any help would be awesome, as I am very new to flashing images onto my phone and frankly I am 99% sure that my warranty is out, and I really don't want to pay $175 cost .
You can try to use minimal adb and fastboot drivers, unpack for example latest npreview 5 factory Image into same folder and flash each .IMG step by step with cmd window, i always flash this way, if everything else fails.

Bootloader is unlocked i guess, may your Bootloader is messed up, did you try to flash only one Factory Image ? Corrupt Download possible ?
What happens if you try unlock command
Try to flash the latest full ota with these steps.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota
Since you already in the bootloader, select recovery and fpllow the steps from there.

Any image I even try to flash I get the error with, no matter what order or which one I pick. I redownloaded the image again and still nothing, so I don't think it's a corrupt download. What is the unlock command? Sorry for being a noob, never heard of it since all my knowledge is from reading tons of flashing guides on the internet lol.

Alright, I downloaded the OTA file and got the process to about 47% when suddenly I keep running into the error of "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log" then followed by more things it can't open. I tried the OTA twice and it gets stuck on that same exact spot. I tried the wipe data/factory reset option from the recovery mode and I get a similar error of "Can't mount", "Can't open", "failed to mount" the recovery log. It seems like there is a problem with the recovery log files (or the folder) on my phone, but I have no idea what that means. I will mess around with some more and try Googling the source of error, but thank you for the help.
fastboot oem unlock
With this command you can unlock your Bootloader, better read here
first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56938530&postcount=1 , if have 47% done, may you can use twrp now. Good luck
Did you try the erase function from bootloader that may or may not help??

Oh yes, my device has already been unlocked from the start so that wasn't a problem. I still get the same error when I try to flash anything, including TWRP which means I have to install the OTA. The problem is a get a separate error when I try to install the OTA, which the only solution being to flash my device (or at least that is what most people have been saying when I googled the can't open cache recovery error) so this is a giant goose chase which leads me back to the start :/. I will keep trying however, I refuse to give up after going this far!

I don't know the commands to erase everything from the bootloader but I would try this:
Flash latest twrp and boot into recovery.
Assuming you don't care about anything that's on the phone, go to advance wipe and wipe EVERYTHING lol... reboot into bootloader and try to flash everything from scratch. If this doesn't work, I'll guess your phone have problems.

I get the same failure error while trying to format and erase, so I am guessing something is really wrong with my phone or the bootloader is messed up beyond repair. I guess it could be the cable I am using as well, that is one thing I did not take into factor so I will try with another cable if I find a spare. Flashing might be beyond my solution at this rate though... Thanks anyways for the help.

I tried it with another wire and nothing changed, and then I tried taking out my sim card and trying it.... and it worked! It flashed everything normally and loaded up just fine.

Don't forget to activate oem unlock and debugging in the Developer options, and flash twrp, so maybe more save for upcoming problems

So basically I was installing TWRP onto my Mi A2. I installed twrp on slot b using fastboot flash boot_b twrp.img When then trying to boot into the b slot using fastboot set_active b That command wasn't recognized. I tried installing JDK and SDK manager to get the latest syntax etc. of adb/fastboot. I tried everything again and accidently typed fastboot flash boot twrp.img . This made me flash twrp to my a slot too. The new adb/fastboot syntax still didn't recognize the set_active command. So now I'm simply stuck with twrp on both my slots. I tried installing havoc-OS v2.0 for GSI. downloading the img.xz file. Extracting it and tried flashing it on slot a. But it kind of failed. This was the code:

It sounds like (at least initially) your version of fastboot doesn't understand dual slots? an older version? You say you updated right? The new version does understand dual slots I'm assuming?
First thing, what happens if you press power and vol UP and hold them both until it starts to reboot?
Stop using minimal adb, use this
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Flash the stock boot image and it should work
EDIT: since you tried flashing system, flash stock system again too
If all that results in is you staying in TWRP, look at twrp and hopefully it's one of the newer versions that allows you to set the 'active slot'. Hopefully choosing the other slot and then indicating reboot in twrp will cause the device to boot normally.

I don't know if you can help with this but when trying to flash roms via MiFlashTool i get the error "flash devcfg_a error"
I've tried both jasmine 9.6.13 and jasmine 9.6.15 updates and they both get stuck at this. I even tried another computer.
Do you know if I should try to flash the rom manually via powershell/command prompt?
Because I'm not really sure how to do that.

As mentioned then, just flash stock boot.img, for the version that your device is currently running. The various stock boot images are easily found, along with the patched_boot.img (that you don't want).
The only issue is that the 2 slots, one will be the most current software you last updated to, the other will be the previous version you updated from. Do you know which one as active and what version it was running? If not, sounds like you'll have to guess.
If you can get one slot to boot you can then probably fix the other okay.

If you haven't change system, you haven't flashed any rom to it, on slot a, then yeah, just flash the boot.img for that version to slot a. You should then be able to set that as active (if it isn't already) and boot.

Now i get bootloops. Should I flash system.img too? Apprently all this fault is because you have to type .\fastboot.exe instead of fastboot in powershell.
EDIT: I flashed system.img too. It works again. Thanks for all the help!

I don't know if you can help with this but when trying to flash roms via MiFlashTool i get the error "flash devcfg_a error"
I've tried both jasmine 9.6.13 and jasmine 9.6.15 updates and they both get stuck at this. I even tried another computer.
Do you know if I should try to flash the rom manually via powershell/command prompt?
Because I'm not really sure how to do that.

Get the boot.img correct to the version of security Patch on your phone. Than in download mode check the current slot which is on use by typing :
fastboot getvar current-slot
When you know your slot, type:
fastboot flash boot_yourslot path_to_correct_boot.img
And reboot.

current-slot: b
But where can I find the correct boot.img? I tried in google but nothing.. I think I need the october security patch.
And if I download how can I send to phone? (SD card??)

Username @Trissi puted it here: https://cloud.vault81.de/s/fnoizKwi8kNF3Rg
Based on info you provided, download the stock one of October, rename it to boot.img and type in CMD in download mode:
fastboot flash boot_b path on your PC to boot.img
and than reboot. Of course you will loose TWRP (by the way, how can you have TWRP on October Patch) and root, if you have.

As far as I know, TWRP works only until you are on August Security Patch. If you had TWRP, you had to be maximum on August Patch. Maybe you used wrong boot.img. To use OST I think you have to be unlocked critical, but maybe someone smarter will correct me.
You're right, to use Ost tool u have to unlock critical!

NB1-488B-0-00WW-B04.nb0
But its stopped on "Checking device status..."
I tried a factory reset in recovery and now its wooooorking

For the future, for OST LA 6.0.4 and Oreo SW (which is NB1-488B-0-00WW-B04.nb0) use the following workaround:

Thanks GUYS!
Now its working pretty well
And a last question, how can I update the security patches because now I got update failed for 2018-07.
I found this
STEPS_TO_UPDATE:
1. Go into Magisk Manager -> Uninstall -> Restore Images
2. Apply Update, DO NOT REBOOT YET
3. When step to finished and it promts you to reboot go into Magisk Manager -> Install -> Install to inactive Slot
But after downloading update I got install problem..
What failed for you

I tried to install but install failed and after that I didnt had wireless.
I reflashed with OST after that :
fastboot flash boot_a stock_boot_nb01_488_sp04_sep.img
same thing..

There is a little bit chaos in your words. You wrote once that all is fine now, after that you said update had not worked for you, and you showed steps to OTA update with Magisk with A/B partition scheme. After that you said you reflashed with OST, but you entered fastboot flash command. You also mentioned that your critical unlock bootloader status is true.
Could you run phone in download mode and use fastboot getvar all command and paste here the results?
