The device has no bootloader system data or internal. It needs to have those things reinstalled but phone refuses to install system without boot loader so i need to know if it is possible to install the full amdroid update package and possibly if i could replace the twrp with official android recovery to install official os that way. What happened in the first place is (my little stepbtothers device he asked me to root it) my lottle stepbrother saw there was an os update and told it to update and when he did it went to update but wiped the system cache data and the bootloader was inactive or something in preparation of the update and i need to fix it and will unroot and/or never root it again until he knows not to do that until im sure there are none left.

If the phone has no bootloader, as you say, it's hardbricked.
If it's your situation see my guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-unbrick-hard-bricked-l90-variants-t3173429
If not, you need to explain what's wrong with your phone, because in the video I can't see any bootloop.

Failed OTA to 4.2

I had the notification for 4.2 update yesterday morning and after pondering for the day I decided to initiate the upgrade which for some reason or another the update failed.
Is there anyway of finding out why the update failed and since the failure I've had no further notifications of the update so how can I try the update again?
Thanks
Jon
Update just failed for me too, which having read up, looked like it might have been because of having an alternate recovery installed.
So I removed the recovery .................UPDATE FAILED
Removed root.....................................UPDATE FAILED
Locked Bootloader..............................UPDATE FAILED
Full system wipe.................................UPDATE FAILED
You can force a retry by going to App,------All-------Google Services Framework and stopping the process and wiping the data
Then checking for update manually.
Some folks say you can have problems with Play and push notification after the framework wipe, but as I had gone the route of restoring to default, I wasn't bothered as I will just do the same again.
I wonder if there is a deeper issue however, than just my tablet.

did you guys did anything or change anything from system, like change the proxyprovider.apk for flash support? Mine failed through OTA and even via manual update but then I changed back the those apks and things went well and now I am on 4.2. Just sharing my experience and hope it can help you guys. somewhat.
If you guys replaced the stock recovery, deleted or froze any stock apps,or modified any system configuration files, OTA is going to fail.
My tablet updated just fine and it is both rooted and unlocked. My galaxy nexus which is the same (both rooted and unlocked) for some reason fails on the 4.2 update.
I had the exact same problem over the past two days, I don't have a custom recovery, just unlocked bootloaded and root.

OOOOOH! I froze then deleted the KOREAN IME app, because why the heck do I need a Korean app on my tablet? Hmm, so what are my options? Can I just redownload the Korean IME off the play store and OTA will work then?
Was there any other forced IME like Chinese that's 'baked in' to the Google ROM? I forgot if I may have deleted any others, but I think it was only Korean.

That explains it then I've deleted and frozen stock apps.

I'm the same, i deleted system apps.
Is the only way to fix this to use a pc and adb the 4.1.2 zip and gapps?
Is there any way to fix it from the device itself?
(I've tried flashing the 4.1, 4.1.2 and 4.2 via CWM)
Would reflashing the 4.1 gapps help?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I had the same problem. Used titanium backup and the "integrate system apps updates into ROM" option and then couldn't update to 4.2.
Tried several things I read in this forum but nothing worked.
Had to erase everything and flash the stock ROM I downloaded from Google. They have a 4.2 stock ROM too so didn't need to update afterwards.
Then restore all your apps from backup and you are set.

The alternative is that you restore your system folder to its original state (i.e. get hold of that Korean IME app, stick it back in /system/app and set the correct permissions). I had to do this with Google Wallet but it can be done if you know exactly what you've changed and avoids flashing a factory image and setting your device up again (albeit that Titanium makes this relatively painless now).

Me too. Also a 32gb N7. I owned it less than a week. Multiple factory resets didn't correct the issue either. I returned it to the store for a refund. Didn't want to keep a device that would never install updates.
I have 32 gigabyte Nexus 7 and it came with Android 4.2 out of the box so I guess no problems with the updates

If you search the forums this has been addressed and solved. You need to reflash the os - you don't need root. Use wugs toolkit. Its a problem on googles end where the nexus was formatted incorrectly, and a reflash fixes it.

Yep. Got the Android robot on his back, with the triangle/exclamation point on top of him, after downloading, restarting and almost complete install. I've tried multiple times and miserably failed each time, at the same point. Eventually, I was able to manually update it using Wug's Nexus Toolkit, since all other methods failed. Thank you Wug

[Q] Rooted Moto X, OTA update today causing boot loop

Hi, I used PwnMyMoto-1.4.3-TMobile.apk to get root on my T-mobile Moto X.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444957
Today, there was an OTA update that downloaded and said it would install. Now the phone is stuck in a boot loop. It boots OK but about 45 seconds after loading it shuts down and reboots. I'm guessing its because the PwnMyMoto removed the stock recovery or altered it to be unable to install the OTA update. However I guess the phone still sees the downloaded OTA update and wants to install it, so it reboots the phone to try to install.
I can't post in the PwnMyMoto thread because I'm too new to XDA
I have froze the ota apk to try to prevent this
small update. I used the T-mobile bundle here to get stock recovery.img and put that on my phone (because PwnMyMoto removes it) and then the OTA update installed. I guess instead I could have removed the downloaded update if I knew where it was!! After the OTA I lost root

Freezing a particular app can be done using Titanium Backup. Its available for download on play store. Titanium Backup requires root permissions. Freezing an app will leave the app on your phone but it wont work cuz its frozen lol... the app wont be uninstalled. this way if you decide later that you need the app then you can just unfreeze it and use it.
OK, I have TB and I know it supports freeze. I didn't realize you could freeze the OTA capability as a separate program. However given that I already downloaded the update, its too late to freeze.

sorry if i or many people would have seeen this earlier we could have stopped you. Always be patient next time because you may have lost root forever now. Not that we know a patch will come through to allow us to maintain root in 4.3, but jcase said he proabbly wouldn't make a rot for 4.3 because it could be a pain and he doens't want to waste any of the exploits he knows of. You could always figure out a way your phone is bad and go exchange it and root again and don't take OTA until someone has figured out something to do to maintain root. It would be worth it for me.
You always have the option to unlock your bootloader with the T-Mobile version. I plan on unlocking the Dev edition I will be buying and then buying a SquareTrade warranty and that will cover any issues I might ever have including breaking/water damage.

Yup I almost unlocked the boot loader but instead I was able to flash stock recovery. I wish android itself was smart enough to not try to install OTA when recovery was gone. I finally read through the jcase thread and I think I might have been able to delete the downloaded OTA by running:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
But I didn't try that. I also don't know what exactly that would have erased.
I will certainly look into a SquareTrade warranty!
Argh, I'm having the same problem. I have a Sprint version with unlocked bootloader and PwnMyMoto 1.1. Began after OTA update today. I have about 20 seconds after booting up that I'm able to do things on the phone before it goes into a loop; I've tried uninstalling the camera and disabling the gallery, which I thought were the two things that were updated. Safe mode doesn't work, nor does trying to enter recovery through fastboot. I've even tried factory resetting the phone from settings, but it can't do this before the power-down process begins. I haven't had any success with working through adb and the command prompt on this phone (device not found). At this point, I'm SOL and out of ideas with a bricked phone. Any other ideas?
UPDATE... Tried the fastboot erase cache & userdata; essentially performed a hard reset of device. Not the most convenient thing, but at least I have a working phone now.
so if we freeze updater and ota, we should be covered?
not sure about the other suspect apk with is fota.apk. I rename otacerts.apk as well. I may be a little paranoid about this but bricking is definitely not an option

Yeah, root is great... I guess I'll just have to keep fingers crossed that jcase works on 4.2.2 post OTA but since it hasn't even been pushed to all carriers maybe it won't happen. Yes, I should have NOT gotten the OTA, but once it had downloaded my phone was totally unusable until I restored recovery and it installed itself.

Curious have you tried to reroot, and for future reference I believe ota are usually in cache under the previous build # for Verizon at least.

I did try rooting again using PwnMyMoto-1.4.3-TMobile.apk but it failed to install (since one of the exploits it used is patched)
I have t-Mobile but how would I get to the cache? My phone would boot for about 45 seconds and in that time-frame I could adb shell into the phone but could not find the path for the OTA update. Do you mean it would be in /cache/some-build/ or so?
Yes in cache and you would have to attempt from a PC , which might not have been possible because the phone kept rebooting. Also I am sry for your loss
Would ota root keeper do anything for us?

I now have 13.9.0Q2.X-116-X-17-51 installed.

Any help would be much appreciated!

You have to make sure you have downloaded & installed the Android SDK and the latest Motorola Android drivers to your computer. On your phone, shut it down before it has the chance to re-enter the boot loop cycle. Then press the down button simultaneously with the power button for a few seconds and release the down button a split second before releasing the power button. This enters the bootloader (you may have to try it a few times to get it). Plug your phone into the computer and open a command prompt on the computer; type "fastboot erase cache", hit enter, type " fastboot erase userdata" and hit enter. You'll see confirmation in the command prompt and your phone will reboot as factory reset.

[Q] Having trouble figuring out rooting & recovery works on Moto X coming from Nexus

[Q] Having trouble figuring out rooting & recovery works on Moto X coming from Nexus
I'm no noob, I've been rooting for a while, but I can't figure out how to root this damn thing . On a Nexus, I just unlocked, flashed TWRP, then flashed superuser from TWRP, and I was done. How does it work on this phone? Can I just flash TWRP and then from TWRP flash a root zip? I'd rather not use any toolkits and such (which seem to be all the rage on this forum). Running Pure edition btw. On latest Lollipop OTA.

Yes its pretty much the same, the forums are abit immature at the moment there aernt any proper guides, i just did things the Nexus way
unlock your bootloader first through motorola, following the instructions (make sure there are no spaces in the unlock key): https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
flash twrp, then install the superSU zip from adb sideload or from your internal storage if it was already downloaded
youre done
also, you could flash the stock logo image to remove the warning boot image, http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/warning-message-unlocked-bootloader-t2871478 to make things look nicer

Awesome, thanks. Looks like that's what I'll end up doing. I really messed up my phone though when trying to get back to stock. Hopefully my stock image request will be approved soon and I'll be able to go through the process again.
One more question, if I kinda messed up restoring everything to 4.4.4, but I can boot the phone properly, will updating to 5.0 via an OTA update fix any mistakes I made along the way?

Not necessarily. The ota contains only changed files (not all files) and therefore if something is wrong with a file that wasn't changed (including anything in /data) then it will still be broken after the update.

Honestly, I haven't looked at what options are available for images to flash.
When I asked for firmware, I believe that I asked on a Friday evening and received access on the following Monday morning. So maybe you'll get access in another 15-16 hours? That is your safest bet if your phone is working well enough to last you until then.

I do not want to take OTA system updates...

I've unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone with the help of the Nexus Root Toolkit by WugFresh.
I now have it setup just how I want it and I don't want an OTA to kill root or change anything so something stops working (phone isn't for me, but I've set it up just right for someone with special needs).
I've read conflicting information on whether or not an OTA will actually install on a rooted phone or not. Some things say that it won't if you've changed anything at all while others say it might be possible.
Is there some system file I can rename or something to ensure the phone doesn't get a system update unless I do it manually?

no matter how many times you will try to update via ota, you will not be able to. if any files change from stock, any at all, you wont be able to install an ota. especially with root.

Apparently I rooted it incorrectly because it was able to update. I just got a call and the phone had rebooted and went through optimizing X of X apps and now many of the tasker profiles I had set are no longer working.
It wouldn't have optimized a bunch of apps if it hadn't updated the OS, or no?

Your fine otas can't install with root
Just flash twrp it will cone in handy incase you brick it one day you'll have twrp to fastboot fix or sideload a rom to recover from.
ONE NOTE: Never ever ever relock your bootloader with the toolkit you'll be screwed. Always leave bootlaoder unlocked. I just had to rma manufacturer phone replacement I relock mine with toolkit and couldn't flash stock firmware or oem unlock again.

question about maintaining root

So far I've been running my OP3T with stock rom with TWRP recovery and SuperSU to have root. This was mostly because I wanted the Adaway and titanium backup to work. I undid everything so I could update to the latest OxygenOS version, and now I'm on the stock recovery too, but with bootloader still unlocked I believe. I no longer have root after doing the upgrade as far as I can tell, still a bit new to all this flashing, haha. The last time I did this was when the nexus 4 came out
What is the best option for maintaining root while still being able to upgrade smoothly? I'm not against using one of the custom ROMs if that will help, but I do kinda like the stock rom so far!
thanks!

Thank you, I have seen that post. I'm guessing any route I go I'll have to flash updates then? I was hoping to find a way to be able to use OTA updates.
I've also never been able to get rid of the dm-verity error, even after going back to stock and locking the bootloader. Is there anything I need to worry about with that or is it just an annoyance?

Dm-verity u can bypass but bootloader one, you can not. Look at the apps, mods section.

Thank you, I have seen that post. I'm guessing any route I go I'll have to flash updates then? I was hoping to find a way to be able to use OTA updates.
I've also never been able to get rid of the dm-verity error, even after going back to stock and locking the bootloader. Is there anything I need to worry about with that or is it just an annoyance?

You shouldn't try to flash the partial OTAs while you are rooted and have a custom recovery installed. The partial zip will try to make specific changes in the restricted partitions (/system, /boot, /recovery, etc.) related to the update and prior modifications to these files may cause the update to fail and the phone to brick. You can still use the "Update" tab in the Settings menu to download the update though as OOS will detect root and download the full zip of the update for you. Simply flash the full zip in TWRP, wipe cache/dalvik, then flash SuperSU and you're good to go the next time an update rolls out. Updating by this method (rooting immedately after flashing update) will also prevent OOS from replacing TWRP with the stock recovery again. When you download the update, you'll know if it's the full zip if the file is >1 GB (they're usually ~1.4 GB,, whereas the partial zips are a few hundred MB).
Unlocked bootloader warning screen is cannot be removed without relocked and fully resetting (wiping) the phone. DM-verity warning screen can be removed by following this guide. Make sure that you are flashing the correct firmware for you current version of OOS though, flashing the wrong version can brick you phone.
