I got my moto x today, updated it right away to lollipop, then went to work unlocking the bootloader, rooting, and installing TWRP.
All worked great, and then i went into TWRP to do a factory reset so that I could have the setup wizard when i turned my phone back on to set it up.
well after I did a factory wipe in TWRP (now i am thinking maybe i also checked to wipe system as well, but im not positive).
after the factory reset my device boots to the boot screen, and stops on the blue m logo at the end.
So i flashed the stock kitkat images using mfastboot, and it boots to the boot screen and then shuts off, doesnt even hang at the end anymore.
What are my options/ what the hell did i do?
I'm using a unmodified Moto G 2014 (GB version). I pushed the official update button found under the Marshmallow settings menu, my device found an update proceeded to download it and reboot on a fully charged battery.
Upon the reboot part my device displayed the white screen with green Motorola logo with powered by android under it which is how its remained for the last few hours.
I just tried to reboot it and it usually goes back to the white screen, goes in a boot loop and then shows a little android guy on occasion on his back with a no command message.
I have recently backed up my files, but more recently taken some more family photos a couple of days back which i really don't want to lose by doing a full wipe.
I only did the update because the damn phone said it was a security update..dammit!
Any ideas how to get this back up and running other than factory reset guys?
Hi!
After receiving my OP 3T, I unlocked it and went to a Nougat firmware and rom. Failing to get VoLTE, VoWifi and SMSC settings on that rom, I tried further roms, one with the recommendation to do a full wipe. At the very end, I downgraded to OOS 3.5.4, but forgot to deactivate the password before starting the OS. That forced me to format userdata via TWRP and that way decrypt the phone the hard way.
With OOS 3.5.4, VoLTE, VoWifi and SMSC settings did work again fine and I would stay with that OS.
So I tried to reencrypt the rooted phone.
Starting that process from settings, the 3T bootet and stucked in the OS splash animation screen (the two white bubbles circling around the red bubble). After 1+ hour I bootet the phone which suceeded. Obviously nothing was happened, the phone remained unencrypted.
Does anyone has a hint how I can get the phone reencrypted?

I recently did this with the most recent version of twrp, the official one from the twrp website, however a quick fix i believe is to flash stock recovery, reboot, encrypt and then flash twrp. Both methods worked for me

Hi!
Thanks for your reply.
With both latest TWRP 3.1.0-1 and the official recovery, I see the green android robot and then the phone shows the screen with the two white rotating bubbles around the red bubble... but no progress indicator or anything else.
Booting the phone out of that screen shows that nothing happened....

Hmm I'm not sure then. I'm using the latest FreedomOS so it could have something go do with that. Also rooted with magisk but no other system mods
I think I found the reason...
After I unrooted the phone, it did not stuck in the boot animation (or for whatever that animation was used, it is the same as when booting but the phone did not boot) but continued into the encrytpion progress screen.
I remember having had such an effect with a Samsung some time ago where encryption also failed as long as a process was running related to a rooted phone.
I had TWRP already and flashed the V8.5 ROM from https://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/development/modified-8-3-stock-rom-t3602672. Appeared to be successful since it gave no errors but now the device has been stuck on the splash screen for over 45 mins now. When I try to boot into recovery, it just displays the android on its back with a red exclamation symbol. Is there a way to fix/revert this?
update: did factory reset, i think it removed my bootloader though. guessing it's not possible get that back?
update2: never mind, managed to get twrp again
I will detail my experience COMPLETELY.
1.I- My phone was having problems turning on (it restarted itself 3-5 times after turning on or showing charge screen).
2.- Yesterday the update went live so I thought "oh, maybe this solves my problem"
3.- First I was having the turning on problems described above, but then the "bootloader unlocked" splash screen was no longer showing up and the "unlocked" message below the android one logo did not show up. Plus, it didn't restart but just stay stucked in the Android One logo.
4.- I flashed 10.0.2.0 with MiFlash but I came back to number 3. I don't know what to do. I decided to post my experience because there is no other post describing the bootloader unlocked splash abscense.
UPDATE: Flashed again with MiFlash and worked. NO DATA WIPE NEEDED! DON'T DELETE DATA!
so nice for you to be able to recover. I had to wipe everything. see my post here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78755665&postcount=13
I'm not alone.
