Ok so I have unlocked my bootloader now with SunShine thanks to jcase. Can anybody link me to the proper thread for installing a custom recovery? Also, I assume that installing a custom recovery means a full data wipe, correct?
This guide has it all....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2603358
best way is:
go on the play store download the app flashify and go through the process it take you. are you rooted?
Done and done. Unlocked and rooted finally! Now to just remove that unlocked bootloader message. I missed my xposed modules!

I actually flashed the boot animations with twrp. I was initially worried that installing twrp would wipe data but it didn't so I went that route since I've used twrp on all my other devices.

Are you talking of the boot animation or the bootlogo (bootlogo is the white boot loader unlocked screen before the animation) any how when I change my boot animation I just place the zip in the system>>>media folder with root explorer.

I changed both. The animation works fine when I flash them through twrp, but the logo (where it used to give the bootloader unlocked warning) is a cyan colored screen with a white box where the logo should have replaced it. I tried to flash it through fastboot and mfastboot both of which were unsuccessful. Not sure what I've done but as you can imagine it's pretty ugly. I can take a picture of it if necessary.

did you make sure you have a .bin file there is a process involved to making one from the image you're using. unless.....are you using a premade one from on here somewhere?

I was using a pre-made. For some reason none of them were working but in a different thread Kid sent me one I could flash games on twrp. Worked like a charm. Is there a thread or list of boot images that work only in twrp?

i think there is a method for flashing in twrp but i think android version 4.4+ changes some formats so im not quite sure. my brother just showed me that you can flash boot images with flashify.

Hmm, im not sure if its that easy. Nothings impossible, but i would think if it were easy domeone would have figured it out already (or maybe someone has). Pretty sure that image isnt anywhere in the framework-res.apk as it launches regardless of the rom you flash, right?

This image is indeed replaceable, there were a couple of old threads with instructions. But it doesn't affect the warranty in any way - the bootloader still shows UNLOCKED when you enter it.
nobody know about it???
I read that you can't change the bootloader.
Other people tried to change it because they wanted to erase the unlocked image

Just make sure you get the HTC One recovery and not the N4.. based on your lack of knowledge, based on your multiple questions, I would hold off a bit though.. as far as I know there isn't a confirmation as to if the recovery from the normal One is compatible with the GE One. I could be wrong though

Thanks. I guess I'll hold off. I figured there had to be some custom files and that they arent all plug and play. Thanks for your help. I'll prob wait a couple weeks. I just wanted to do it immediately to avoid having to wipe again.

You don't need to wipe for a recovery. When you get the device and its good to go, go into fastboot and type
"fastboot oem unlock"
Then after you unlock it reboot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset.. then hold off for recovery. Once your unlocked you no longer are required to wipe for anything

Aaah. Didn't think of that. Which files do I need for that?
On a mac? Just fastboot
Rooted using a combination of instructions. Pleased to say it worked. Only problem I have had so far is that on one occasion it told me I was not rooted, when in fact I was. A reboot fixed that problem.

Looks like I have root, but it seems like after some time of the phone being on, it loses root access and I have to reboot in order to regain root access. Any ideas?
So, like an absolute idiot I wiped /system without a proper ROM zip on my device and I'm stuck with no OS on my device. I asked for Drive access to the KK factory image from Motorola, am I heading in the correct path for success? Does someone already have the KK image that they could provide for me? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance
Yeah your on the right path I did the same thing once
Once you get the factory image, you'll use fastboot to flash the files with the instructions Moto provides. You'll be fine.
Do u still have a custom recovery installed? You can put the to custom ROM zip on the flash drive or SD card and plug in an otg cable to the phone and you should be able to flash the ROM from there. Or you can do adb sideload from the recovery

Did something very similar to this. Used SolarTrans' guide as Motorola never sent me the factory image. Installed the OTA from the phone itself and then flashed the 5.1 OTA and I'm good to go. You guys are the kind who keep these forums great!
I have the same issue but my bootloader is locked and when I try to unlock it i get error "'Enable OEM Unlock' in developer options"

This is exactly what I did to fix the exact same issue. Essentially soft bricked my phone 17 hours after receiving it from Motorola [emoji27] but this got me back on my feet and I've been running lollipop on a rooted XT1095 with no issues for 6 months [emoji106]
so here is what happened, i was rooted with an unlocked boot loader running chroma rom. i then tried to unroot my device to return completely back to stock. After the process was done, i formatted and wiped everything then did a reboot. when android started up chroma rom was still on there and i can't access developer settings to unlock my boot loader to flash stock image. so now i am stuck with a locked boot loader and a bootloop device. i have tried adb sideload and got back 2 errors that the footer is wrong and the signature. i don't know what to do now. so Please Help! thank you in advance.
another thing i should add, i only have access to stock recovery
i think this toolkit got a boot loop fix although i have never tried it

The only option is try and fastboot format userdata and fastboot format cache.
If they don't work, there is no fix. Nothing a toolkit can do.
yup, @danarama has the right explanation. problem is that with stock recovery it most likey will not work. sorry

Here is the option. Direct from Wug's FAQ. "If you device is bootlooping or can’t boot up, use “Flash Stock + Unroot” with the “Soft-Bricked/Bootloop” option and follow the onscreen instructions for manually booting your device into bootloader mode and restoring your device."
Can't use flash stock option without an unlocked bootloader.

Why is this happening so often. Sorry but getting late to the party, I just bought my N6 from Best Buy and have been trying to get caught up on all the reading before it gets here. Is it user error or something else?
BTW, from what I see he can probably break it down and sell the parts on ebay then get close to a new one for $350.

We don't know but this sucker likes to bootloop. Never relock the device till after it boots and running. Concerning relocking non-stock have seen it bork TWRP and kernel.

because many people dont read and educate themselves beforehand.
I don't understand why people are re-locking their boot loader. Unless you are returning the device, what is the purpose of re-locking it? I don't get, in this particular thread, why or how the boot loader got locked?

And that is a key question.
I was trying to get ready to turn in my nexus 6 and so I flashed a stock rom (apparently minus the recovery) and relocked my device. I now have twrp but stock 5.1 installed. twrp boots okay but internal storage is 0mb and it appears unable to format partitions. any ideas on a resolution? very comfortable with fastboot (bootloader loads normally) but can't seem to get anything working otherwise.

Sorry, no. I just copied the bootanimation zip-file directly from the Pixel's image at /system/media/bootanimation.zip. So this is not a flashable zip but really just contains the bootanimation.

Just curious... can anyone tell from this if the Pixel has HTC's own HBOOT bootloader? Or is it a Google bootloader of some sort? As I said, I'm just curious. If HBOOT was on there, the HTC fanboy in me would be happy to know that they got a little bit of software onboard the Pixel.
