Yup...downgrade to 4.2.2, root and also install recovery.Both 4.6.6 and 4.5.23...i'm even go to ur Miui forum to redownload the file but still same get bootloop wont boot...4.5.23 english and multi language also tried...if I select full wipe (in aroma),install till 40% than black out...(bootloop).The new 4.6.6, successfull install (if I select full wipe in aroma option, it happen same as 4.5.23)but the rom can't get root permission...showing system ui fc and the network operators showing wrong networking...if I reselect the network operators it show correct operators but the name just won't show the correct one that I had selected...
Ps:both before installing the rom i'm already full wipe the phone by myself coz if I select full wipe in aroma option it will cause bootloop...

Thanks for reply sijav.
I used 4.2.2 customised INDIA as base rom. I installed root then recovery. I flashed your 4.6.6 MIUI file. Did clean wipe in Aroma installer also. After the process ended the phone booted with sony logo then MIUI logo and then restarted again(bootloop)
***I will try this again in next 24 hours And will post the results here. Thanks for your work

If I'm not mistaken, if you're on locked bootloader you should first format system through recovery then install miui rom, it was the same way in locked Arc S

@sijav also if you are uploading your own 4.2.2 ftf can you please upload it on google drive?
It would be a great relief if you could upload all your further builds on google drive and share it here. Gives more 2mb/s speed so we could tell you instantaneously the build is flawless or not.

hi, @Joncat24 this is really strange! both things, network wrong? I'm not sure! everything is working here, system ui fc? you don't have root access? can you give me logcat? else I can't do anything because everything is working with me and I'm not sure about your problems so please give me logcat.
System will format on aroma before installing so you no need to do that!
alright here's my theory: I'm assuming that you all have tried with philz touch recovery, maybe the philz touch recovery is not good! (as you can't flash latest cm with it!!) please use ClockWorkMod (the vanilla recovery) from NDR Utils app and give me the results. it should work after that!
oh and forget everything about 4.2.2! I can't get access to my old 4.2.2 ftf file anymore! sorry I can't upload anything... and about uploading in google drive, well google drive has banned my whole account many times because many users have downloaded huge files. So I'm trying not to put anything on google drive. also my upload speed is less than 14 kbps so I'm not just posting things on net without testing it with every aspect myself! (As I hate to spend more than 1 day to upload it again) so even if you tell me that my build is broken even if I fixed it it makes me 2 days in avarage to upload both eng and multi rom into servers.

No problem. Going to try this with Vanilla CWM. If any one wants Google Drive FTF links I shall upload it for them.
Will post the result in three hours thanks sijav.
BTW which version of recovery? 6.0.4.5 right?

Result.
Result :
Flashed fresh 4.2.2 Customized India FTF. Installed SuperSU ROOT. Flashed XZDUALRECOVERY. Selected 6.0.48 CWM-Based recovery as told.
Selected the zip to be flashed. Selected Full Wipe in AROMA!
Installation started > Stopped at 1% > Device restarted and stopped at SONY LOGO.
I am on locked boot loader and I think that's what the problem is!
- NEW
Used PhilzTouch Recovery > INSTALL Complete.
I clean wiped then clicked on INSTALL NEW ROM, which again clean data, cache. Seems to work with one bug "ALL CHECK POINTS REACHED". It is not going from my Notifications menu!

EXACT same results. I fear though that if i unlock my bootloader and MIUI fails again, PCC won't be able to rescue me with firmware repair! :crying:
C5502 with root (TowelRoot method), XZdualRecovery, stock 4.3 (waiting to go back down to 4.2.2 INDIA release again). Any hints on how to fix this? Am really interested in trying MIUI, but if Xperia ZL roms work perfectly, then i'd like to try one of those...if there's one as interesting as MIUI

Did you try to format system partition?

Yes. Use PhilZ, don't select Everything Wipe in Aroma and try installing.
If possible try installing twice! mine worked at second instance!
PROBLEM IS WITH RECOVERY AND NOT MIUI!

damn! you were right,
formating data partition seems not a good idea in philz recovery!!
I'm gonna remove wipe in aroma and let users do it for next release OR find a way to remove things from data manually
thanks a lot for letting me know about this one.
have fun guys

Complete backup

I really would like to try the new CM12 ROM, but using this device as a daily driver I'd like to be able to go back to the current ROM without too many difficulties. So I was wondering if there is a way to fully backup the device (on PC would be perfect) and by that I mean firmware, installed apps, settings, data, ... all of it; install the CM12 and if something goes wrong flash the backup with everything in it.
Thank you guys.

Do you mean the version available here? does it neet to be this special version or is there a version for G800H in twrp website? thanks.

TWRP is unofficial, no have it in official site! Look in http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-t2924611
Do fully backup and restore whenever you want
P.S: dont use wipe dalvik/cache button after flash anything, will crash your partitions.

Full TWRP backup le s3 x522

Hey guys, I was playing around with the leeco s3 and I think I over flashed something or other. It's not exactly working right. Can someone please upload a complete btwrp backup of their le s3 x522 on 18s, 19s or 20s?
Thanks in advance!

I think you need to start reading some threads around here, once you have installed the TWRP for the S3, you cannot get OTA to work again and their are other numerous issues too, as of yet nobody can fully restore back to stock. So start reading.
Also a few people here do have flashable firmware that might help but it will never be a full stock recovery unless something is fixed.

I did not ask for OTA updates. I did not ask for stock. I asked for a functioning TWRP backup of the Le S3. Thats it.

Thanks, Ive seen this post as well, it is 19s but is the boot partition (i think) and data partition, no recovery or system partition.
I was curious if anyone had a complete backup of working system, recovery, boot, data partitions for restoring?
Also I get this odd error 7 when trying to restore it, anyone know what is going on?

I've used that twrp baclup numerous times without a problem.....
i would suggest, going back to twrp, and erase data, then restore again and see what happens

Hey, do you know where I could find the Chinese TWRP that allows me to flash the original stock EUI rom? I flashed LineageOS but the camera is not perfect, so I wish to go back to EUI but I cannot figure out how to install it without seeing errors such as "this package is for "le_s2_na" devices. Your device is a "s2"." Could you point me in the right direction? Maybe a download link for the Chinese TWRP that people claim works? Thanks!

You need to unzip the firmware file, remove top 2 lines from META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script and zip it again, it will remove the platform check. However device still does not boot, I tried to install both 20S and 21S multiple times. My guess is we need the original recovery partition image for X522 and I could not find it anywhere.

I resolved it. Took 2 days and dozens of flashes. As far as I can tell the key was to wipe everything - system, cache, data, internal storage, then reboot into bootloader again and into Chinese TWRP.
So the process would be:
1. power off the phone. Hold VolumeDown button and power on. It loads into bootloader.
2. fastboot oem unlock-go
3. fastboot boot twrp.img.
4. In TWRP wipe EVERYTHING
5. In TWRP reboot -> bootloader.
6. repeat 2-3.
7. On PC: adb push S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802102141S-5.8.021S.zip /sdcard
8. In TWRP click right button on the bottom and select English. Click "Do not allow modifications." Install the zip file you just uploaded.
9. Reboot.

Hmm I might try that later, but what would I do if I get the classical error ("this package is for "le_s2_na" devices")? Will that error not show up if I follow your method?

Soft Brick Help Please!

Just got the phone. Came with Vendor ROM. Attempted the TWRP in main Guide section but it froze. Was advised by someone to flash the "Smarty" version of TWRP. That one had working touch so I thought it was good to go. I backed up the vendor ROM and went ahead and flashed EU Rom along with Super SU zip. It didn't go through properly and I was forced to long press power to restart.
I attached pictures of the failed TWRP dialogue and what happened after I tried to restart the phone. I really need some sound advice. I'm like super stressed over this big ass overpriced phone

Replied to your post in the other thread. Follow the steps in the guides EXACTLY as mentioned and you wont face any issues.
Since you're able to boot into fastboot mode, start from scratch and follow the steps. Hope this helps.

Agreed. If you can fastboot then all the files you need are available... You'll be fine, I know that stress, just take it slow and don't be in a hurry.

I come up in the same situation like your first picture every time I try to flash a new rom on my Mix. I had nandroid backed up everything though.
When TWRP stops after extraction I press power button and volume up to reboot at recovery. Then I restore my backup and MIX is working again.

I think don't do anything after flashing ROM till it says DONE should be added to guide. You moved to the next stage before ROM had finished installing. Would of thought that you should be able to boot to TWRP and just reflash, if not just follow guide to install TWRP.

Thank you guys for offering help. A kind user (forget his username but he has the thread Vendor to EU ROM) helped walk me through the process. Basically I had to use Xiaomi Flash to flash the Chinese firmware and then I was able to use TWRP and flash the EU rom.
Now my issue on the EU rom is that I can't get the Play Store to see that I'm in the US. Certain apps cannot be downloaded like Amex and Amazon shopping. If anyone have any ideas please share them.

I came here to instruct the same solution.
Only way to get EU flashed was to go back to Global Stable. After this TWRP could flash any ROM.
Glad you found it too.

Glad you got it up and running. I also had the play store issue so I installed the two apps that said were incompatible from the Amazon app store. It is not region locked.

no start after I clicked TWRP Fix Permissions

Hello,
I need advice, please. MOTO G2 (2014) XT1068
XT1068 unlocked>TWRP installed>TWRP Fix permissions clicked>now boot animation and goes into black screen (with backlight).
More detailed:
Last night I have unlocked my XT1068 and installed TWRP, no problem.
(following this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLSTDsFG1xw, citing https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-0-1-moto-g-2014-t2896165).
First deviation was I got TWRP from http://www.devfiles.co/download/4lhHC4Uv/TWRP_2.8.0.1_Titan_v2.img as I ran into an unavoidable sign-up trap following the cited url).
Second deviation was I chose to install SU offered by the TWRP app via Gplay, which was unsuccessful.
So I decided to go back and follow the instruction, using the provided "Update SU" file but found my Windows Explorer but it didn't give me access to internal memory or SD card. After short research, I found that XT1068 "developer options>USB configuration" toggling MTP to Charging only and back MTP helped https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/3nnkaa/cant_access_android_device_internal_storage_from/ as the Windows Explorer was able to access the XT1068 memory. (SD card was setup as internal memory).
I copied the file over, rebooted into TWRP but couldn't see the file. I remember having seen something like "unable to mount or access memory" in TWRP and remembered from XDA thread that permissions might be messed up. It was late, I jumped to a conclusion when I found the TWRP option "Fix permissions". I clicked it and have since the issue.
I can get into the menu which offers "recovery" and also get into TWRP
I have tried "Factory reset" but I am not sure what happens there, Motorola boot animation comes and then the black screen again (with backlight)
I think I have options but feel like in a minefield and better ask for what to do next.
Thank you

can you tell me you're bootloader version and on what android version you were when you messed up things? If your phone boots up to the bootloader i.e. the menu which allows you to enter recovery then you're having more than one options to fix this problem. But be careful this time. as this may brick your phone and it will be gone for good..
Read this XDA thread and do the steps carefully. This may restore your phone

Hi, I had the stock Marshmallow and bootloader is showing 48.86 (if that is actually the number). I was aiming to do a titanium backup and then probably try a custom ROM.
I will follow the steps in the link provided to get back to a known working state before trying a custom ROM but I really like to understand what went wrong and in what state the phone now is. I don't think my deviations where a bad choice but clicking "Fix permissions" obviously was. I like to learn from mistakes.
Thanks for helping me out.

Ok, read the guide and am uncertain which firmware is the correct one for New Zealand (the thread is full of confusion about the versions). I am waiting for a reply there and asking here if I could from this point also try to flash a custom rom via TWRP? Or better back to a working condition before doing this? Thanks.

Umm.. About the firmware version of the stock ROM, you can search google for it. And as far as your question about trying a custom ROM, you can try whichever ROM you want (except Ubuntu Touch, it's installation methods are too confusing). Just download the ROM in .zip file and download "Google Apps (GApps)", I prefer open gapps and install the rom via TWRP.
Wipe out these paritions in TWRP > Wipe > Advanced Wipe:
Dalvik/ART cache
Cache
Data
System
Also before installing any custom ROM read the steps plus read user comments before flashing anything
P.S. make sure your TWRP is latest. For TITAN it is TWRP-3.2.0-0

Yes, thanks.
I have flashed ROM's successfully before on Galaxy S3 and Tab 2 and used gapps via TWRP.
I have tried Google for the correct version but find myself turning in circles, most-likely my limited search term knowledge.
https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoG/comments/4bgg02/info_all_moto_g_codenames_models_variants/ shows "XT1068 : Latin America/EU/UK/Asia/Australia/Germany/Brazil/India, Dual SIM" and the listed ROMs named XT1068_TITAN_RET ...(BR for Brazil?) (LA for Latin America?) (DSDS for India?) (GB for UK?) (DE for Germany?) then what? Some are obvious others are what I have read through various comments, DSDS may even be for (EU/INDIAN/GLOBAL), I have not been able to find a really good page explaining this.
You did not answer my last question directly but given that you stated how to flash a ROM and what to wipe, I assume you mean that I could alternatively install a custom ROM at this stage. (Which is what I had planned originally).
Still, would be nice to know the correct firmware version and also why clicking "Fix permission" turned things into custard.
Thanks.

Yeah, I´ve seen in the post of @karteileiche that link: http://www.devfiles.co/download/4lhHC4Uv/TWRP_2.8.0.1_Titan_v2.img. That recovery is outdated and not from the original source. Maybe that´s the reason why things get messed up.
Downlad latest TWRP always from this site if you don´t need something unoffical for your device: https://dl.twrp.me/
For titan this would be: https://twrp.me/motorola/motorolamotog2014.html
About installation of custom roms: When you check any thread of custom roms you´ll find in the OP what to wipe and what to use.
And imho it would be better to first flash the actual recovery before flashing any custom rom.

Valid point, thanks for reminding me and providing the link.

Yess, you can try installing custom rom and see if that works.. otherwise flashing stock rom will also be an option for you.

Fixed
Resolved by using the latest TWRP version and a clean flash of a custom ROM.
Thank you Wolfcity :good:
