[SOLVED]Substratum killed bootloader | Moto e4 plus
Exactly the same thing happened to me.
You need to flash the stock rom again.
Apparently, the only unofficial custom rom (Lineage) isn't working(Stuck in the middle of bootanimation).
To flash custom rom,
search " Stock Rom Moto e4 plus" in Google
Visit the search result with the link getdroidtips[dot]com
It worked flawlessly.
I'm new to xda.. So I can't post any links

Did you by any chance flash a different bootlogo? I know if you flash a bootlogo that wasn't sized properly or one from a different device, like say the Moto G5 or something, it will screw up your bootloader screen like that. If you did, just flash the stock bootlogo.bin and see if it fixes your bootloader screen. I have never had a substratum theme screw up my bootloader like that or heard of it happening.

i guess you did flash the android sistem option from substratum, the phone doesn't like very much that much and enters in a conflict state

[Q] Bootloop hell

I apologize in advance if this same issue has been replied to elsewhere. I'm in kind of a unique situation and couldn't find an answer anywhere.
I'm got an N1 with 2.3.6 stock ROM, rooted. Recently I downloaded Titanium Backup PRO and while attempting to integrate dalvik cache to ROM, my phone rebooted into a bootloop. I'm assuming this is a bootloop. I get the colorful splash screen, it freezes for a second of two, then continues on, and on, and on....
Is there a way to get me out of this loopwithout having to wipe all my data, so I can backup all my stuff before I flash a custom ROM?
Everything I see about bootloops, mentions unlocking the bootloader and wiping all your data. I've seen downgrading using PASSIMG and loading stock rom. I'd really just like a simple way to get out of this loop hell and get my phone back up. It's in teh ship now getting it's power button fixed.
Thanks in advance
first thing i do on bootloops is pull battery
if no go pull battery and then pwr on by pressing pwr and trackball at same time--you can then get to recovery and maybe wipe dalvik and cache and reboot
i have never used TB for anything other than backup/restores, so can't help with dalvik integration
You might be able to fix it by wiping your cache from recovery.

Thanks for the advice! I'll give it a try as soon as I get my phone back from being fixed.
Hey guys, I hope you can help. I got my phone back with new power button, Yay! When I try to boot into recovery, teh Nexus X logo comes on for a moment and then I get a white triangle with an orange exclamation point. Do I need to use ADB to try and go to recovery and wipe my cache? I've never installed a recovery image. Do I need to do that or should there be a stock image already on my phone? Am I SOL?
One more thing that might help. I notice that when I go into HBOOT, the phone searching for 4 images from my SD card and can't find them. They go by too fast to write them all down but I think some are PASSIMG, PASSDIAG, etc. Again, do I need to load a recovery like clockworkmod on my phone first and then go into recovery to attempt to wipe my cache?
I get the same passimg all the time--no problem
If your phone came back from repair, you are probably unrooted and hence the triangle. At least that is the way I remember it, but has been two years since I rooted
If that is comfirmed by someone else, you wil need to reroot and install a recovery
A good time, if you haven't, to install android sdk and root/install recovery the right way and have full adb/fastboot features
there other ways I am not familiar with
does the lock show unlocked on the screen, they could have relocked bootloader
the wiki has the instructions, just have to navigate to the htc smartphones and N1
jus to make sure that if u still got root. install su checker app from play store and confirm.
if not root using SUPER ONE CLICK ROOT.
flash recovery (4EXT is good) www.4ext.net
do a backup and then flash the rom u want

Thanks I'll check. I only had teh power button fixed and not by HTC so I doubt they unrooted it. I'm still in a bootloop but I can use superoneclick still, so I'll give that a try.
so what I'm trying to do is wipe my cache without wiping my data. I don't think my bootloader is unlocked. Am I screwed?I'm in a bootloop, so I can 't install anything to the phone. I probably could put a recovery image on the SD card, but if my bootloader is locked, I'm guessing that won't work. I'm rooted. When I go to HBOOT, the phone looks for passim files and doesn't find them, then when I choose recovery I get the white triangle. I've try to flash a recovery image through ADB but I get an error, failed to load image. Again, is that a bootloader issue?
I'm almost at the point of just wiping my data and hoping I can get it all back somehow.

You really know nothing huh. The triangle is the recovery. Press power button and volume up at the same time, it will the show you some options like wipe cache.

Did you miss the "stuck in boot loop" part?
sorry,
meant that the triangle is your stock recovery--
you install recovery thru fastboot not adb
i would still, if you haven't, install android sdk on pc-unlock bootloader (fastboot oem unlock) and fastboot recovery--all in wiki
i think it was mentioned--holding down pwr and tb will get you into fastboot mode--phone connected and usb debugging selected on phone
you'll just have more flexibility with flashing roms etc and getting out of trouble

If I do that, then i go to recovery, so what's next? i do factory reset and i go again to "no command" again, or im i doing it wrong?
hmm, try wiping cache and do a factory reset in the recovery menu. I got it right when I tried that few hours ago when my phone got bricked from OTA update

Hey bro, but when i apply "wipe cache partition" it restart again and it did not say "wipe cache partition complete" or something like that, just restart again, and then i do a factory and it says "complete" but when i manually restart , the same again, what else can i do?
Ok . some of your files seem to be corrupt . since your boot loader is unlocked , you Dont have to worry a lot. Do you have the stock 4.4.4 file with you ? If you do, flash that .
What I meant is , downgrade to a proper 4.4.4 KitKat .
Go completely stock, even the stock recovery and then try an OTA update to lollipop
how

Is your bootloader unlocked?? and have you rooted the device?? If Yes, then -
It seems you have no recovery installed...
Try PhilZ Touch Recovery from here OR here. [There's 2 versions, i have tried only the 1st one till now]...
Or else get TWRP from here :
If you haven't rooted or unlocked... i guess you need to goto the service center...or try flashing stock...if flashing doesn't work..you WILL have to goto service center...
PS: Hope this helped you! :fingers-crossed:

Phone in bootloop please help...

So i wanted a new rom for the awesome features so after i had rooted and installed twrp custom recovery i downloaded cm12 then created a nandroid. I put my phone into recovery wiped everything except internal storage and installed cm12 and gapps. This is where my problems started, as much as i liked the new rom it wasnt connecting to my cellular network so i thought ok ill just recover my nandroid so i wiped everything except the internal storage and then started the recovery when it finished i rebooted and it goes to the warning bootloader unlocked screen and sits for about 15 seconds the goes black and repeats. My phone is a motorola moto x 2014 victara, any help is much appreciated.
Please give us more details:
1) can you access recovery? Try holding the "power" button for like 20 seconds and trying to reboot into recovery when the phone boots.
2) can you access fastboot mode on the phone? maybe you lost your custom recovery but can access the bootloader and that makes things easier.
3) what is your device number? (xt1097, xt1095, xt1092, etc)
You are going to want to factory reset. Most times coming from a customer rom to another or even back to stock you will need to do a factory reset in order to wipe out anything that may have been left over that could cause issues.

Recovery not accessible on an androidone nor the device boots.

I have a micromax android one aq4501. The device is now just struck with the cyanogen mode logo. I can't even access the recovery. Twrp reovery was initially installed but after selecting recovery mode by pressing the keys twrp is not accessible. How can i install a rom on my device
Thanks in advance
try reflashing the device also check if the battery output is sufficient for the device thet could be teh problem(was with mine had to change the battery and clean the terminals) i think reflashing would solve the problem
edit:youll have to re do all the stuff you did initially too(noob advice but its true)
