[Q] VZN Moto X DE TWRP Bootloop - Moto X Q&A

i looked. i swear. however, can't find anything that addresses my issue or at least i don't recognize it at my issue.
I have a DE Moto X on VZN.
unlocked bootloader
reverted from 4.4 to 4.2.2
flashed TWRP-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4
Everything was working just fine and i couldn't leave well enough alone. I was screwing around and tried to flash/install/whatever an apk that would invert gmail colors....basically white to black. i'm not sure if it was before or after i did that but i created a backup in case it screwed something up and i wanted to revert. well, i loaded it and nothing happened so i went to restore my device from the backup i had just created and TWRP told me it was complete/successful or something and gave me the option to reboot. i did and now my phone is stuck in a boot loop. i've tried to restore several times to no avail.
i can get into bootloader menu but normal start up starts the boot loop process again. TWRP loads if i go into recovery. phone isn't recognized by RSD Lite. not sure what to do.
Can anyone help or tell me what additional info you need to be able to help?

So you've tried restoring your nandroid prior to the flash, and still get bootloops, right? Have you tried wiping the caches? You can also try a full wipe and see if that gets you out of the boot loop, and then you can go back and try to restore your nandroid.
If all else fails and you can get into fastboot, there are instructions here on getting back to stock: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images. I would pull my backup from the device first from within TWRP (although if you don't erase userdata it should still be on the phone). You'll have to re-flash TWRP, but that process should get you back to having a working phone.

there might also be a problem with the fact that oyu were running 4.2.2 and using twrp that was built for 4.4. there is a twrp that was built for 4.2.2 so i don't know why you used the one built for 4.4. don't know what the differences are if any that would affect running twrp 4.4 on a 4.2.2 firmware but there may be some major issues.

You could try manually deleting everything with fastboot, then boot into recovery to restore your backup before flashing the 4.2.2 TWRP.

Thanks for the help. I thought I edited my post to say I fixed the problem. Did that with a wipe from the twrp bootloader our whatever that screen is called when you not into recovery.
Thanks

I am curious as to why you downgraded back to 4.2.2?

Mainly for FoxFi WiFi. I use it on road trips for my kid's iPad and Nabi.

If you have an unlocked bootloader, why not use one of the available mods with 4.4?

First I guess would be because I didn't know about it. I wasn't really planning on unlocking and rooting to begin with.
I got the DE because at the time I needed a phone it was the only x I could get with 32GB.
Which mood are you talking about I might have to check it out

It's for 4.4 not 4.2 though, don't flash it unless you update.

Make it easy on yourself and use the Xposed module http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601859

Bootloop after trying to restore w/ Bootstrap

So I was trying to restore back to my stock ROM backup using the boot strap recovery. There weren't any errors during the process of restoring the image but when it was time to boot the phone up it would stay in a bootloop.
I have tried factory reset with the power button and volume buttons but it'd go straight back to the loop.
I am trying really hard to understand this whole adb thing with the sdk program but I have no idea how to use it.
Can anyone please help this noob?
Return to stock - Windows.
FAQ sticky in the Bionic Development forum.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try this out when I come home from work.
Also, I reactivated my droid x until then. Will I need to go to Verizon for a new sim card for my bionic once I can start it up again?
I don't think so, but I am not sure. Have not bootlooped yet myself or had to FXZ.
I believe you may have to go for a new SIM card. The way the Verizon explained it to me when I returned my Charge was when you deactivate from a 4G to 3G only phone, that SIM is lost. However, 4G to 4G is fine.
Wouldn't hurt to try, but a good possibility you will have to.

About 2 hours after I said this, I bootlooped. Good thing this FXZ method works!!
haha yeah with all the new roms u cant help but to explore.
btw after 5 FAILED flashes I tried one more time with rsdlite and it finally worked!
It took about 20-25 minutes for the whole process to fully boot up my phone but I am very happy and thankful for the people on this forum.
The weird thing is that when it booted up... it booted up to an old restore of UNL3ASH3D. confused but im happy its fully functioning.
You won't need a new SIM card. I did an FXZ restore after I rooted my phone, unrooted it (didn't need to have it rooted because there were no ROMs and no CWM yet) and it wouldn't let me root again so I flashed to stock and it rooted just fine. You will need to flash the radio again though (or at least I did after installing DroidTh3ory's ROM because it kept showing 3G in spots I know i had 4G, worked fine after I flashed).

[Q] How safe is safestrap?

I think I understand how safestrap works (it installs some kind of hijack to boot /preinstall instead of booting /system) but I have been reading a number of users who have bricked their phone...
I basically have the SafeStrap install screen up, but am hesitant to do this...
Just a few questions before I take the plunge
1) Why are so many users having problems with safesrap? I download the Droid3 version 1.08 for use on my Bell Motorola XT860 4G
2) What exactly does safestrap do in the boot loading sequence? If this is not public knowledge (and might be worked out "against" please, no harm, I'm just wondering, so if I could get an idea as how the hijack works, either in the thread or PM that would help greatly)
3) If you restore the original system and disable the hijack, will that really bring me back to complete original stock? What if they patch the boot partition as they did last time?
Thanks for all your help guys! I know a lot of you have been using custom roms, I really want to load up ICS on here, and it's almost ready for prime-time so I just want to be prepared!
First off, I have an XT862 not the XT860. The hijack is a 2nd init hijack. Safestrap does this hijack itself as opposed to with bootstrap where whatever ROM you flash has to do the hijack. Safestrap also as you mentioned uses /preinstall to store /system of the ROM you flash. This means that nothing other than safestrap itself touches your stock /system. This allows safestrap to protect itself so you can always get back to recovery even if there is a bad flash it can't overwrite the hijack and recovery so you can try again.
I also don't remember seeing much of problems with safestrap itself other than a partition size problem. I think I remember seeing that some update took care of that problem. I have seen people having more problems with ROMs on the XT860 than other versions of the phone.

First off, the most common problem I have seen people have with safestrap is not understanding what it does and even more common is not knowing how to use it, basically a lot of user error. The previous poster summed up pretty well how it works. Finally, uninstalling safestrap will NOT bring you back to original stock, it will remove itself and the secondary ROM it allowed you to install. Since you have to be rooted to even install it, if you uninstall it you will still be rooted, not stock.
Just so you are clear, you can have whatever ROM you want on your phone BEFORE installing Safestrap and this will become the Safe system by default. You will no longer be able to change this ROM as long as Safestrap is installed. Instead, it allows you to put another ROM, basically a dual-boot, in addition to the original rom you have. Now you have a Safe system and a Non safe system. The Non safe system is the only one Safestrap will allow you to change (and brick for that matter). So if/when you install a ROM that boot loops or crashes, you simply can revert back to your safe system and now your phone works again, neat huh?
AFAIK, he does have the XT860, since the XT862 is the Verizon Droid 3 (3G, not Bell Canada 4G). Also, using it on my 862, I have not been able to brick it. If flashing the experimental system fails, you can just reboot into the Safestrap menu and flash something new. I don't see why it wouldn't work on the 860, as all it does it modify the booting. Any issues would most likely be caused by a ROM flashing issue, not safestrap.
I took the plunge this afternoon... Installed SafeStrap and CM9 nightly on my device... Not sure if everything is working just yet, but will be doing testing throughout the day
No problems were reported with the installation or instructions, so that's great. Thanks a lot!
I'm using a XT860 (Brazilian Vivo, but I'm not sure if it's 4G - LTE - compatible, I know that it works with 3.5G).
I have Safestrap 3.0.5 installed and I'm using all the 4 slots (MavROM, Minimoto, CM9 e CM10). All of then runs well (with their particular issues), none of them caused any trouble on the phone.

Same here. I'm using it on a Brazilian TIM, no problems at all. I have two active slots( Stock, Gummy 0.90) and two for testing.
It is in fact the best recovery that I've used, so far.

Actually, after trying to acess a SD Card partition with Link2SD, I lost acess to Recovery. I'm stuck on the stock ROM (root keeps on, but SafeStrap 3.05 doesn't work).
Installed Titanium Backup to keep my data safe, but it isn't working too. I'm going to reinstall it later.
I'm afraid that I'll have to uninstall all my root apps, unroot the phone and do all the process again...
I'm very newbie at linux and Android and I'm doing all that by reading (a lot). I'd apreciate if someone could tell how to deal with this problem.

Unrooting seems like overkill. If you are "stuck" on stock, I would just start the Safestrap app. Click the button to uninstall recovery and restart the phone. Then open Safestrap again, click the button to install recovery, and restart the phone. Hopefully the Safestrap menu will show and you can then activate recovery.
So long as you do not erase anything on the internal storage, your slots should still be there.

I've tried it several times before I came with the idea of unroot my phone and redo the process. Here is my dicoveries http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082292

SafeStrap problems
Odd problem, I can't get the menu button to work. In order to get back to my "safe" rom I have to start safestrap,and select uninstall recovery.
Then reboot, and it will bring up my "Safe" rom. If I then go back to SafeStrap, and re-install the recovery, and reboot, it will again bring up SafeStrap, but if I hit Menu, it doesnt' bring up any options it again boots up my non-safe ROM (minimoto 1.6)
Anyone have any ideas...I guess I can try to remove the safestrap directory on the sdcard after I uninstall the recover, and then try to reinstall the App, and try all over again?

App Updates - VZW Moto X Dead?!

Running a completely stock VZW Moto X on the latest update (4.4.2). Woke up this morning to a half dozen or so app updates, including Active Display and Moto Help. I updated these two, and then an update for Beautiful Widgets started after. My phone then locked up and restarted. Now, it loads through the boot screen and then loads the Verizon screen, then the device goes black. I've tried wiping cache, to no avail. Any suggestions? I've installed the Moto X drivers via the Moto site, but the device isn't being recognized via ADB. I would really really really like to retrieve my files from the phone before doing a full factory reset...
Haven't seen anyone else report this....

Same symptoms on unlocked dev edition
I can't for sure tie it to an update, but the only thing that I did on my Moto X today was enable Motorola Connect. In the ensuing ~3 hours my phone bit it and would get to the Motorola Unlocked Bootloader screen and stop. Tried to boot to custom recovery, but it wouldn't work. Tried reloading TWRP, but gave access error on write but it seems to have fixed it enough to let TWRP open. TWRP showed list of access errors, like the memory had been corrupted. Need to find 4.4.2 image and load it back on via FB, as recovery has no data now.

You have a totally separate problem from the OP. I don't have an unlocked boot loader and haven't done a ton of research on the risks of unlocking the consumer edition. 4.4.2 images are posted all around the forums. I would start there.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
Thanks. You are right, not the same problem, when my phone soft bricks when I haven't been doing anything to it I get twitchy. I have the DE and have tried (a bunch of times) using RSD Lite and fastboot to push files back to phone, but after reboot everything looks to be reverted back like if WP was enabled, which it isn't. I will take a cruise thru the forums looking for similar issues, but any suggestions would be appreciated

If you have a Dev edition fast boot stock vzw files, fast boot OEM unlock and reflash SU. simple as that.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
Yup. Have gone thru that procedure several times, but phone won't get past the bootloader unlocked screen, and even after flashing stock (with stock recovery partition) TWRP still shows up, so some write to memory isn't sticking. It's very strange, used same procedure on this phone when upgrading to 4.4.2 from 4.2.2 and on other phones with no problem. Since TWRP can't access the flash, I am wondering if I actually have a corrupted memory module. If I can't get things working, I will start a thread. Don't want to hijack this one. Thanks.

As an update to the original post...
My phone "magically" booted at some point while it was sitting on my table. It's been working since then, but I tried to restart today and the thing won't boot up again. No idea what causes this and adb still isn't working with the phone in recovery mode.
Well I'm from the old school of if a car won't start you check 3 things spark fuel air. So in the case of our phones I always say fxz if an fxz fails to fix the problem than I lean towards a hardware failure. I have never had an fxz not fix a software issue. And I have bricked more than my fair share of devices several times.
I just did my custom order of the Moto X today. I hope I won't run into any issues. I'm switching from the iPhone 5S.

Have you tried fastboot?
Also getting the drivers to work can be tricky. You have to install them and then use device manager while you're phone is plugged in to get it working.

[Q] Rooted/s-on. Can I update anything.

Can I install stock recovery and then try to take a ota to update. Will I loose root and will I loose my rom? Will I be able to reinstall a rom or will I need to reroot?
you can try, you shouldn't loose root or anything but once you have unlocked and flashed stuff I doubt stock recovery will like your system enough to take the update. try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53518227

From my understanding, as long as /system is stock, you can install the stock recovery and then take the OTA. Afterwards, you'll need to re-root your phone. Make a backup of your current setup before you get started. Once you've taken the update and get rooted again, you can always restore your backup.

This one is tricky. I flashed the stock rooted rom from mikmik, I then unrooted and flashed the stock recovery via fast boot. When applying the Ota, it fails because the build.prop is not stock. Comes back with an error like /system/build.prop unexpected.

I just tried it to and did the same exact thing except I had boot loops as we'll.
when I flashed back to the stock recovery to take the recent OTA, I had a reboot bootloop like every 2-3 minutes, I was ready to throw the phone against a wall, then it hit that I read recently someone else had the same issue, and mentioned a factory reset fixing the issue, yup after a factory reset, the reboot bootloop was gone, I just now rerooted and flashed a backup

Hey everyone.
I've spent the better of the last three hour scouring the inter webs, Google, and these forums trying to find the answers to my questions - but to no avail (I've found partial answers, but I am afraid a partial answer could lead to a total brick).
Here we go:
I bought one of the first Sprint HTC One M8's through Amazon. Here are the details:
Model: 831C
Android Version 4.4.2
Software Version 1.12.651.17
Unlocked but S-On (Using TWRP)
Naturally, right out of the box I rooted it. However, I did not save the original ROM.
* I want to restore the phone to its original state so I can accept the OTA update and hopefully address the god-awful cell signal.
I've found a lot of stock recoveries online, but none that match 1.12.651.17.
Do I need to find that specific recovery to flash to my phone? Will another one work (e.g. 1.54.654.13)?
I've never worried about saving my stock recovery in the past (been rooting since the HTC Evo days) but it looks like not doing so finally caught up with me.
Thanks in advance.
PS I did find something 1.12.651.17 related here, but how to flash this to my phone (or whether or not it will brick) is beyond me. I've downloaded all 6 files and am waiting to figure out how the heck to get them to my phone.

[Q] Recovery Flash Errors?

Hey guys. I've been having some problems with my Moto X by Sprint for a while now. I was running aospa beta 2 and I noticed every time I booted up my phone it reset itself. I shook it off and just restored my stock backup. When I did that, I couldn't do anything because of a constant phone Force Close. Then I went back into recovery (TWRP) and I looked through my downloads and I had an old nightly of CyanogenMod and some gapps. So I flashed those and my phone booted up just fine. But I can't flash any other ROM at all without getting insane errors. And now I noticed whenever I flash something in recovery I get errors. I'm going to post a picture of them and if anyone can help me fix my Moto X problems I'd greatly appreciate it CyanogenMod is not my most favorite ROM of all time. And in General I'd like a fully functional working phone. Thanks!

Hey guys. I've been having some problems with my Moto X by Sprint for a while now. I was running aospa beta 2 and I noticed every time I booted up my phone it reset itself. I shook it off and just restored my stock backup. When I did that, I couldn't do anything because of a constant phone Force Close. Then I went back into recovery (TWRP) and I looked through my downloads and I had an old nightly of CyanogenMod and some gapps. So I flashed those and my phone booted up just fine. But I can't flash any other ROM at all without getting insane errors. And now I noticed whenever I flash something in recovery I get errors. I'm going to post a picture of them and if anyone can help me fix my Moto X problems I'd greatly appreciate it CyanogenMod is not my most favorite ROM of all time. And in General I'd like a fully functional working phone. Thanks!

It appears your filesystem may be corrupt. I suggest following the "Return to Stock" thread to flash the full stock SBF for your carrier (the last version you were on - be absolutely sure not to attempt to downgrade). This will return you to 100% stock - but it will erase -everything- (including your internal memory). So back-up anything important, first (if you even can...).
SBFing back to stock can actually repair a corrupt/damaged filesystem. You are obviously unlocked, so afterwards you can simply flash back TWRP and then flash the rom of your choice. I suggest a fresh download, though, since it would appear you have corruption issues...
Good Luck! Update us as to success.
Alright will do thank you
