Weird flashing issue - Moto xt1068 - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello;
i've got a moto xt1068; suck on bootloader unlocked message
i tried flashing it a few times, with success but it still suck on bootloader.
i flashed twrp but cant boot to it; unless i do:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Thank you.

This was after unlocking boot-loader or flashing custom ROM ?
I remember facing this issue when i rooted device 1st time ...
to resolve this i followed this steps;
1. Unlocked boot-loader
2. Flashed twrp
Now instead of restarting the device, i used to go straight away to recovery ...

Nothing changes; it still just stock recovery
i can boot to twrp using the fastboot boot twrp.img
but i get an error 7 installing the zip.
also; i use twrp to connect the phone; delete files from internal storage; but when i reboot i find it there; memory protected somehow? weird.

Ok. let me try.
After unlocked bootloader it will be display that unlocked boot logo for ever until you flash this on custom recovery:
LogoFixWarningv2.zip
But for that you need custon recovery.
you can use this:
twrp-2.8.6.0-titan.img
to flash custo recovery use this mfastboot
mfastboot-v2.zip
with this command with device on bootloader screen
mfastboot.exe flash recovery ''recovery name''
change the '' '' for the recovery name ex.
mfastboot.exe flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-titan.img
To do all that you need to re unlocked your bootloader if you re locked it...
so do the command
mfastboot.exe oem unlock UNIQUE_KEY
Where instead of 'UNIQUE_KEY' you type in your own 20-character key that Motorola sent you via email.
:good:
i managed to flash the recovery but how do i boot into it now?thanks also for the help but when i boot to recovery through bootloader it just shows a black screen :/

To boot to recovery you need to be in the bootloader screen.
press the down volume key to move the option to recovery and press the up volume key to enter recovery.
It will boot to recovery, is very fast to boot to recovery... But remember boot loader need to be ''device UNLOCKED Status code: 3''
That same recovery that i share is the recovery on my device so it work's. And is the last version available.
:good:
WOW finally!u are like a god to me right now i have been trying for days to reach the recovery menu!!!i just unlocked bootloader and installed the recovery but then it got replaced by the stock cause i booted into android and i couldnt get it to open then i just reflashed it and BOOM! AWESOMENESS!!!!!I AM SO HAPPY MAN!
nice :good: i'm glad that work... thanks.

How i unbricked my phone by in an unusual way

Goodday everyone,
Last year I soft-bricked(stucked at bootloop) my phone and I was trying to get it done. I tried all the method I saw online but none worked until I discovered one method that worked.
THE METHOD
--------------
First of all I downloaded a custom rom(NokDroid v1.1) from xda. I used phil rcovery to install the rom. But after this the Nokia logo just get stuck without it booting fully, only my recovery mode was accessible, I thought to myself since I have changed the ROM, probably it might be that the bootloader image is corrupt so I used a trick to boot into my phone. what I did was this:
1.After somethings I did, I unknowingly made my phone to boot straight to my recovery without me using any button combination and I didn't know what happen to my bootloader
2.Discovery this I renamed a bootloader image I found in NokDroidv1.1 system.zip folder to recovery.img and push the bootloader image into my phone to replace my recovery using fastboot.
In summary, I replaced my recovery With NokDroid bootloader image.
And whoa..... it worked, I boot into my phone but my problem now is that i have no recovery and if i needed it I would have to boot it in back and by doing this I would have no booloader.
So my question is:
*. Has anyone tried this method before.? (Did I invent this method?)
*. Secondly is there anyway I can get my phone to have both bootloader and recovery?
*.Why did my phone boot straight to recovery?

Can't Flash Recovery to Moto X

Few days ago I tried to root Moto X using Kingroot Method. I followed also Steps but when I rebooted my phone, it was booting only in Fastboot an Recovery. I thought it went into bootloops so I was trying to flash TWRP recovery but it gave me error as mentioned in Image 1 (attached). so I went to service center. People over there did something nd told me that partitions are broken so will have to change the motherboard.
I didn't agree with them and again tried to flash TWRP recovery but now m getting different error (Attached - Image 2). nd I think people at service were right.
so my questions are is there any chance to flash anything to device now?? or changing the motherboard is the only option available???
I am able to access only fastboot. nothing other than that not even custom recovery.
You need to flash the recovery while in fastboot and the first image shows that you're in the stock recovery
3nd image shows nothing really, but that you're in fastboot. Try flashing twrp while in fastboot. Plenty of info here.
Thnx for ur reply....Successfully flashed TWRP and ROM....

TWRP Install Being Rejected??

Hello,
I am new to this forum, but have done a bit of unlocking and installing custom roms on other phones (mostly OPO's, both my old one and friends). But this new OP 3T I just got is giving me some troubles I have not encountered before. I would LOVE to put this into the correct forum, but of course with my being new to this forum...rules...
I am following the standard install over on the TWRP site and on the OP3T, the install finishes and then I reboot and I get a screen that says:
"Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. If you don't want to see this screen, please lock your device by "fastboot oem lock" an erase userdata..."
I have never seen this before. Can someone give me a idea what could be going on here? Do I need to re-lock it? What did OP do to their phones!!?!
Oh and also, I am planning on installing LineageOS. Any reason I shouldn't?
Thanks!

Is nothing wrong with your device ..What you get is a warning that your bootloader is unlocked ...
You gonna get this every time you want to boot to your ROM or to twrp....
You can proceed further to install any ROM that you like...
I think you can find a guide on XDA forums to disable this warning if you want...

Ok I tried that and a new problem came up!! When I try to reboot into recovery, I do not get TWRP, but the stock recovery that was there originally! Unless they have completely changed the look of TWRP. I will try to upload a picture of it if that helps.
You can't get rid of the bootloader-unlocked warning without re-locking your bootloader, which you really should not do while you have a custom recovery installed.
Are you sure you've flashed TWRP and not just booted it it from a local file on your computer? Try using fastboot to wipe recovery first before flashing TWRP.

I followed the Fastboot method on this page (rules won't let me post the link normally): twrp. me/devices/oneplus3t.html

Right on that page (last paragraph of fastboot install method), you will see:
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
I had a heck of a time with this myself (even reading the above). Even rebooting (after flash TWRP) to recovery (power+vol down), the TWRP install would still not "stick". Had to try multiple times. I also rooted with SuperSU 2.79 at some point in that process, which may or may not have helped TWRP to finally "stick".

I tried this once before, but after your suggestion to try it several times, it finally worked! Thanks!!
Flash TWRP, reboot, press the volume down key before the phone boots, go into recovery, you should see TWRP flash screen, that usually works but I'm glad you got it going

Redmi 4X bootloop after installing TWRP?

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
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-4x/development/official-twrp-3-2-1-0-xiaomi-redmi-4x-t3718217
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.
