Please help me with your knowledge for a little while. I really need help because my android is bootlooping and this is the only phone I have. I really need your help here.
-I followed this guide with little differences https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e5/how-to/guide-root-twrp-moto-e5-play-explained-t3856182
-I took precautions and I downloaded the respective twrp for my phone (moto e5 nora).
-I couldn't make a backup because I'm lower-class college student and I can't afford a micro sd bigger than 4gb (I should have given up here).
-I installed Magisk and i thought it went well because no errors showed (at least that's what I think)
-Bootloop showing some numbers (80012a99-867fda48-...)
-I tried to uninstall using the uninstaller.zip so I could install an older version of Magisk but twrp says "cannot access /data please uninstall with magisk manager" but I just can't do it because android it's bootlooping.
Other data (it may be useful):
-After installing the last version of Magisk, abd won't recognize the phone ("adb devices") but "fastboot devices" will.
-I cannot repair /data but I can format it to ext4,ext2, etc (but it didn't work).
-I'm downloading stock image but I don't know how safe will it be to reinstall the whole Android. I'm afraid I can permanently damage my phone after what I have done here.
This is the first time I post here. I don't usually ask for help, I don't like to bother people. Thanks in advance and forgive me for my English!
FIXED
If someone has the same problem, this is what I did:
1-Download the LAST (this is very important) version ROM. I recommend lolinet (dot) com for our Moto E5.
2-Download adb and decompress the ROM into the adb folder.
3-Open command promt and go to adb's directory.
4-Check that your phone is being recognized by your pc:
Code:
fastboot devices
5- Copy and paste:
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Then fastboot reboot and there you go!
I'm very glad and I hope you, future readers, find this useful enough to get your phone running as it used to run when we were real happy.

Hello guys
Today morning i was on cyanogenmod11 and after some time i decided to restore back to stock Lollipop so i restored a backup of Lollipop system image and suddenly a error poped up saying unable to mount /data /system
I thought this might me minor issue then i tried using fastboot to flash the stock lollipop images
When i started the flashing process i got some serious errors on my cmd
"Failed to erase partition"
"failed to write partition"
And for now only Fastboot Mode is working with UTAG "flashfail" error
i tried to flash recovery images and partition gpt file but no luck looks like my partitions are messed up bad
have a look at my attachments :crying:

gpt.bin and motoboot.img can't be flashed if the version on the device is the same or higher version.
Just ignore these two.
Code:

Sometimes it's the fastboot version. Try this:
Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot and install it.
start "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" by navigating to the Start Menu Folder you choose to create during installtion or the desktop shortcut you choose to create and selecting "Minimal ADB and Fastboot"
You should now see a command window open.
Put your device in fastboot mode and connect usb.
Now just do verify type this command
Code:
fastboot devices
the output should show something like this (your number is different)
Code:
fastboot devices
ABC99999999 fastboot
now copy the images into the directory where your command window is open and start flashing.

dude i know how to flash these images,and i tried latest version of fastboot from google still problem persists
So a lady I work with asked me to get her pictures and stuff off her phone. But it doesn't boot past the Motorola boot logo. I can't unlock the bootloader because she wants her stuff off the phone and that would delete it all. Is there a way I could reflash system with fastboot to get the phone to boot (if that's the problem) or even better dumb the internal storage to get her pictures off. My main goal is to get her stuff off the phone. I looked at a few sites showing the fastboot commands but I can't find one to dump the internal storage. It's all flashing commands.

MAKE SURE YOU FLASH THE SAME FIRMWARE IT WAS ON BEFORE IT QUIT BOOTING
Hi everyone.
Accidentally wiped the OS, apparently people fixed it using ADB. I'm trying to sideload a rom but adb says "Total xfer 0.00x" and my moto g says ADB Sideload Complete: Failed.
Any ideas how to fix this?
ADDED:
In case if someone wonders how I fixed this:
1) Reboot the phone into bootloader mode.
2) Open a command prompt / terminal (Start -> cmd.exe in Win7) and browse to the folder with the extracted firmware.
3) Connect your phone to your PC.
4) Flash stock firmware.

with XT1965-3_LAKE_RETEU_9.0_PPW29.98-111_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml at least for me dirty flash failed, rom didn't boot
did a backup of /data/ to external storage from TWRP with internal storage decrypted (had to boot TWRP from fastboot a couple of times before the decrypt password prompt were shown on boot of TWRP)
did also a backup of internal storage over MTP with TWRP to computer.
then flashed again with below commands, WHICH WILL ERASE INTERNAL STORAGE

Thereafter successfull boot, reboot to flash mode, boot TWRP again, restore internal storage over MTP from TWRP, restore of data from backup to external storage which were made above
all apps and settings back, and on latest moto firmware.
any chance of capturing the delta OTA's to make them twrp-flashable?

Would probably be doable as in almost all other devices in general and older motorola devices in particular have had that. I for one do not have the knowledge of how to do that (and not the time available even if I had that knowledge =) )
I can confirm that at least for me, a dirty flash like the one described in post 1 in this thread worked again with the latest OTA/firmware for RETEU - XT1965-3_LAKE_RETEU_9.0_PPWS29.98-111-3_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC, when written over the second latest (XT1965-3_LAKE_RETEU_9.0_PPW29.98-111_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC)
I did however have trouble booting the latest twrp twrp-3.3.1-0-v5.1-lake-jlb from fastboot, phone rebooted after it was sent over adb boot instead of booting twrp it went straight back to fastboot. Tried many times with rebooting to phone home screen in between. But adb fastbooting the older twrp-3.3.0-lake worked straight away, and thereafter installing twrp-3.3.1-0-v5.1-lake-jlb with it's zip worked straight away.
I have tried to get the OTA file for my g7plus from a bugreport.
But it is only 100 Mb rather than the more than 1 Gb is see most roms.
Could it actually be an OTA update? Screenshot of the .zip contents attached.

It would be no problem to catch them and make them TWRP flashable. But it's strongly not recommended to do that!! Do an OTA-update only if your device is fully on stock! Otherwise the OTA-update will override incorrect blocks of your partitions and this could crash your entire system irreversible.
For Linux, Mac, or Windows users with fastboot installed, those who have need of flashing an individual partition, those for whom Moto Flash Tool fails, those who'd rather use fastboot, etc...here are the fastboot commands translated from the cebu flashfile.xml. These can be used to recover a device when all else fails...usually. For cebu with unlocked bootloader only.
Lolinet firmware link: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/cebu/
Boot to bootloader (hold power and volume down until bootloader screen), plug into computer, and navigate terminal to directory containing the extracted firmware files. Run the commands one at a time, in order, and watch for "Finished" before running the next:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img

fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase metadata
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
Now, didn't that feel good? Your phone sure liked it.
TIP: For Linux, commands can easily be made into a bash script and all run with one command.
1. Copy everything in #2, paste into a text file in the same directory as the extracted firmware, and save with a .sh extension (ie. flashfile.sh)
2.
#!/bin/bash

3. Make file executable:
chmod +x flashfile.sh
4. Execute the script with:
./flashfile.sh
5. Reboot.

BTW @sd_shadow, my next device after the ocean was the Moto G Stylus (sofiap) and a script wouldn't work with it. I wrongly assumed scripts wouldn't work with devices that use a super partition. I hadn't even thought of trying a script on these more recent Powers with super partitions until you posted this. Sure enough, a script works, so thank you.
