Moto G probably bricked.?

OK guys hi... I somehow managed to wipe everything from the phone.I mean everything.The phone boots au to the screen with the ''unlocked bootloader'' warning.Then nothing.if i press power button and hold volume down i can use the recovery menu and i can go to the TWRP menu.From there i cannot use the MOUNT>USB OTG option so the phone is not recognized from my windows.
The only option i see available is installing something from my SD card.But i have no idea what or how or if there's a way i can install again the original android files.When i try booting it says there is no OS.
Is there a chance fellas.?

The fact you have somehow wiped your phone I dont think you can recover any lost files but you can at least still use the phone. Try flashing stock, if you are unable to do this put a custom rom on the sd card and try flashing that.

I would recommend trying to flash the stock image first. I am unsure of what country you are in, the link below is for the UK filmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-lte/general/stock-6-0-marshmallow-firmware-uk-gb-t3337916
This also has the steps needed to flash the stock image.
You can flash a custom rom though if you wish. I have only flashed Cyanogenmod13 so I can not recommend a different rom although CM13 is brilliant.
to download CM13- http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=thea
for Gapps (choose ARM/6.0/ then I choose the pico but you can choose what you want- http://opengapps.org/
Once you have put them on the sd card flash cm13 then gapps straight after then just reboot, done.

Take your Sd card out to an other phone or card reader then copy the ROM and flash it

The stock image is not for flashing in recovery, you need to flash it with "mfastboot" on a pc using command prompt.
It seems CM13 will not flash as I take it you were still on Lollipop?
I will PM you steps on how to use mfastboot.

If you can already enter TWRP then just download a Thea CyanogenMod firmware and Pico Gapps for Android 6.0. Then flash the CM ZIP and then the Gapps ZIP and then restart in normal mode.

And one thing more. If you flashed TWRP for titan (XT106X) flash it for thea if your phone is XT107X. Then try to flash a XT107X Cyanogenmod firmware.

just flash twrp .img file with fastboot command

After I flashed the rom, mounted system normally and flashed magisk, etc. I booted into system, rebooted into FASTBOOT and re-flashed TWRP but it just leaves me at a black screen.

i mean first install twpr vie fastboot.
then reboot into twrp.
then you can go to install (in twrp) and then you can select "select image" then you can choose your twrp.img and flash it on recovery partition
to go the safe way
Because i experienced that i flashed twrp via fastboot and when i boot the system, the stock recovery was flashed again.

Can you boot into system?
or do you get the op3 logo and then black screen?
upps, sorry for posting two comments, my fault :c
Edit: if you have black Screen at Recovery Boot you must Flash twrp 3.0.2.19 from another thread
I think "how to dirty Flash........"

Downgrade OOS 4 to 3.5.4.

Hi everybody,
I have a probleme with my OP3T.
I have upgraded the OS from 3.5.4 to 4, but I don't succed to root the phone, mainly because of the TWRP (flash with 3.0.3.0) that doesn't access to the SD card (twrp asks a password I don't have, so that stay encrypted).
When I try to follow this guide, I always have an error with the recovery stock (recovery downloaded from the oneplus support) during the sideload step (I also try to dowload the rom with twrp, but no success...)
So my question:
Does someone can help me to come back to 3.5.4 until twrp is supported by 4.0 ?
Thank you very much

I'm in the same boat. When sideloading 3.5.3 ota it fails after approximately 45%.

I had the same problem. Steps I did in order to make phone functional:
If you don't have TWRP, you have to install it.
Then, you should wipe your phone entirely from TWRP (Factory Reset, Format Data, Advanced Wipe->Dalvik/ART;System;Data;Internal Storage).
Reset the phone and enter TWRP once again.
Copy the official ZIP with OOS 3.5.x ROM into phone's memory, then flash it.
Flash SuperSU, otherwise your phone won't boot.
I don't take any responsibility, in case you mess something up with your phone.

Okay, my solution was to: 1. boot up in fastboot mode 2. Disable encryption by opening a command prompt in administrater mode and type fastboot format userdata. 3. Install 3.5.3 from Twrp.
Not ideal to disable encryption but now I got a working phone

Thx. I might have forgotten to reset the phone after wipe, before installing 3.5.4 which is why it wouldn't install even from twrp. My solution worked though - encrypting it again will be for another day. Sick of geeking

So once you have working 3.5.3/4 can you return it to stock - I mean by relocking bootloader and reflashing stock recovery? So then to receive 4.0 via OTA?
Thanks

Yes, it's entirely possible, but what's the point? You can flash stock recovery->lock bootloader->sideload OOS 4.0, and you are stock . From what I've read, not everyone got 4.0 through OTA yet.

Do you have to be on a specific version of twrp to do this? I cant flash 3.5.4 back using the latest twrp (3031)
EDIT
Never mind all OK, was just begin inpatient

Do you have a link for the stock 3.5.X recovery? Link from O+ download section won't work..

They provide the so-called Oxygen Stock REC for OP3T here: downloads.oneplus.net/
But I always got different MD5 after downloading the img they provided.

Hey I am in same boat, does TWRP version matters to return from 4.0.2 to 3.5.3.
I have TWRP(3031) and SU 2.79. I want to revert for battery as well xposed.

It will work with 3.0.3-1 TWRP but you have to flash the ROM twice because of filesystem and put the files twice on the internal memory. Reboot recovery twice forced.
I think TWRP 3.0.4.0 should work better but I do not used it on my phone to restore from 4.0.2 to 3.5.4 so you could try and let us know

I made this but you can flash it at your own risk.

I had the same problem a few days back. I tried everything but at the end, I had to flash the stock ROM using SP Flash Tool. After that, I was able to boot into Stock Android and rooted the phone again and installed the Custom Rom later.

I did not had time to revert rooting and remove custom recovery, so can't say much at this moment.
But your bootloop issue is most probably due to presence of TWRP, you need to completely remove root & TWRP, restore stock boot and recovery, then try.

Fortunately I've made it working again.
What I did, I flashed phone with SP FLash Tool 5.1628 and K50a40_S433_160909_ROW https://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-note/development/official-build-lenovo-k3-note-k50a40-6-t3370537. But it was not success at that time. Phone acted weirdly couldn't boot, only vibration after power on could be felt. So I tried to flash only the recovery Lenovo K3 Note Stock Recovery.img 10,2MB (also in the package but not default recovery image for S433) with the scatter map from S433 stockrom but SPFL said that it didn't end successfully, so I flashed only rocovery from stock rom S433 target_bin folder recovery.img 12800kB and then voila, it started to boot, there was a Lenovo logo, took some time to start but eventually phone is working.
Now I want to root it and / or flash correct version because my phone is actually k50-t5 not k50a40.
So thanks and good luck to those with similar problems after restoring factory settings on AIMROM.

Exactly the same thing happened to me.
So I tried your idea and updated my TWRP, going from 2.8 to 3.1..1
But exactly the same thing happens - it still bootloops, but to the new TWRP.
I've tried flashing several different ROMs that all worked in the past. But no change.

do as what i have mentioned above,..and give update

It worked ! Thanks.
The reason I didn't try it straight away was all the comments about wrong links etc. And some of the links afterwards didn't work. So I was looking for a recovery.img file in other places.
I read your new message, so I used the first link in your post which gave me the recovery img. The TWRP link doesn't seem to work, but I already have an up to date TWRP on the phone.

Flashing Magisk v20 bootloops to recovery

Hello,
I attempted to root my Mi CC9 / 9 Lite and currently have a bootloop.
What I did:
-Flash TWRP from fastboot (success)
-Boot into TWRP (success)
-Wipe / Factory reset (success)
-Flashing Magisk v20 zip file (success)
-Then, reboot system sends me to TWRP again.
What I tried:
-The phone is not bricked. When I factory reset again from TWRP and boot to system, it boots up.
-Signing the boot image after flashing magisk using the zip file here (This did not work. Flashing the zip file returned a verification error)
Not quite sure how to root my phone at this point. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

You need the Enable encryption zip...it will boot it up.. boot loop is cause from MIUI trying to encrypted and failing.
Flash the zip in this thread... go to the fstab zip that will help you

What I do is this: I Boot in recovery and format data then I go to advance wipe and select data and then repair and select ext4 and swipe and then reboot recovery and flash the MIUI rom and then I reboot the recovery and mount system and vendor and flash the zip and then reboot and wait for it... you know it will boot up because after it boots up the bootanimation increases it's light before the actual booting in the system and the rest you can figure out... hope this helps you out.

I'll try that. Thanks a lot. Do you use the auto-decrypt (the one you linked) TWRP in this, or just regular TWRP. I am using just the pyxis TWRP.

Can anyone elaborate on what needs to be done? The previous responses did not explain how to ROOT the phone.
What I have just tried:
-flashed the TWRP img here
-did a wipe
-sent Magisk and the fstab zips to storage and flashed them (fstab first)
still gives bootloop to recovery. How to root this phone?
Thank you

After you unlock the bootloader I just put it in fastboot mode and fastboot boot "(whatever you have it called... I renamed it recovery) recovery.img and then press the volume up button and then I install the image through TWRP and reboot recovery and then follow the steps.

I used the TWRP for the team win recovery project website.

Fstab zip is last because it's the encryption fix

I tried a combination of what you suggested and this guide and the phone booted up with root. However, opening the Magisk manager immediately says "your device needs additional setup" or something similar, and asks to flash a zip file. When I select flash, it says rebooting in 5 sec and stays in bootloop. Have you come across this?

use twrp by brigudav. It has also s built-in Magisk installer.
