TELUS Moto X (XT1097) doesn't boot after last OTA. Help!

Hey guys,
I have rooted my Moto X 2014 (XT1097) with Chainfire auto root method about 6 months ago and I decided to accept the OTA update I got today from TELUS (22.121.11.en.CA). If I remember correctly I was on 5.0.1 before accepting this OTA.
Now the phone is stuck in the custom boot logo screen that I installed after rooting and even if I try to shut it down, it just boots up and gets stuck in the logo screen.
What should I do? I can access the bootup screen by holding power and volume down.

Let me reply myself so that maybe others can use this info to fix their devices as well.
Step 1: You need to install the ADB platform tools (should be plenty of threads about that)
Step 2: You need to find a system.img and a boot.img to match your needs. I have a XT1097 with TELUS in Canada, so I have found this thread and downloaded the big .zip file (big thanks to Steve-x!). For US people the graffixnyc site has images for XT1095 that you can use. Move those .img files where your fastboot.exe file is found
Step 3: Boot your device in bootloader mode (hold power and volume down) and connect it to your PC
Step 4: Install the images with the fastboot command by typing this in a cmd window
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Or in the case of the TELUS image, the system image is split into 7 files ... just flash system them one after the other. Steve mentioned something about the recovery.img, but wasn't sure how to flash that so I did it this way.
Step 5: (Optional) If you had something else installed you will get some errors, here's how to fix them. Boot back in the bootloader and choose Recovery, then when you see the screen with the "sick" Android, keep Power pressed and tap on Vol Up to enter Recovery Menu. Choose to delete data and delete cache. Reboot.
If you used Steve's image you should be booting into TELUS Android 5.0.1, just before the cursed update. You can even do now the 5.0.1+ update OTA. You're back in stock ROMs world

Glad you got it fired up again. I haven't taken the OTA yet myself with my Moto X's, was hoping to get the entire image with Motorola Device Manager.

Le sigh
Man i'm having nothing but issues. I've done everything that i was supposed to do, but i cant get the files to load.

Boot Logos for Moto X using "Moto Boot Logo Maker" by CaitSith2 Plus 1 DkTheme Anim

Boot Logos for Moto X using "Moto Boot Logo Maker" by CaitSith2 Plus 1 DkTheme Anim
Having made several dozen Boot Logos for the two Moto G models that I own using the program "Motorola Boot Logo Maker" developed by CaitSith2 (Thanks to him please if you use his program) I decided to try my luck with my Moto X which I received from Motorola in the last couple of days. Bearing in mind that there is a huge difference in display size (1440 x 2560 - as against 720 x 1280) I was interested to see if this program which easily and automatically produces "logo.bin" files could work with the Moto X.
One advantage of this method is that it automatically gets rid of the "Bootloader Warning" message at the same time as flashing the new logo without any further steps being necessary. If you use CaitSith2's program it is clearly understandable how it works, I used "Custom" and manually adjusted the size to 1440 x 2560. I have to admit that my first attempt at using the program to create a "flashable zip" failed to flash in twrp, however there was no error message and no damage done but then I simply extracted the "bin" file from the zip and used "fastboot" to flash the logo.bin in adb. It maybe that the program can't handle the increased size when it produces the flashable zip but this really doesn't matter because the program gives you the option under "save as" to save just the bin file which as I've said can be flashed in adb.
I attach a .jpg showing the logo I flashed and although using the program is quite straightforward I would be happy to create logos for anyone who wants to post a jpg or png.
EDIT:::::: HAVE ADDED A DARK THEME BOOT ANIMATION IN POST #21

I want to thank you for your post. Because of your post I've been able to build a dark themed version of the logo.img.
I really hate that if you have to power cycle or reboot your phone in the dark you are blindsided by the screen. Not ideal.
Also I was able to replace the Unlock boot logo with the MM flavor of the logo instead of the annoying message on brilliantly white background.
I've attached a thumbnail of the dark version of the MM logo.

How did you replace it? Can you please tell the steps?

If your bootloader is locked, do you still have to overwrite a clogo partition instead?

Good question I have never found anyone wanting to replace a "locked" bootloader logo, probably because the nasty "unlocked" logo doesn't show until you actually unlock the bootloader! I don't know the answer to the question I am going to ask - can you use ADB on a device with a locked bootloader? Following on from that, can you get into "fastboot" mode on your device if your botloader is still locked? Sorry I can't be more helpful.

See the last few lines of my original post #1 - that wil tell you how to create the "logo.bin" file. Having done that use the following command in fastboot........... fastboot flash logo logo.bin ............

Haha, no worries. Fastboot and ADB are still functional on a locked bootloader. For the past two Motos locked devices use the "clogo" partition to display the boot screen and it can be overwritten (yes, locked bootloader!) It's pretty nifty and I'm not particularly fond of the stitched logo. They are in .img format.

@kcipopnevets ... As I say I have no experience of changing boot logos on locked bootloaders. I also have never seen the "stitched" boot logo although I use the "stitched" boot animation which I believe is the default for the OTA MM update. If I was facing what I understand to be your problem then in my ignorance I would probably follow these steps ... (I CANNOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF THIS BRICKS ANYONE'S DEVICE) ... I would find a graphic I would like to have as my logo ... I would then import it into the free program "Paint.net" where I could adjust size, and add color and text etc if wanted ... then use Motor Boot Logo Maker to convert the graphic into a "logo.bin" file ... then use fastboot to replace the current boot logo.
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
If this didn't work I would try
Code:
fastboot flash clogo logo.bin
From your post it would appear you have knowledge of the named partitions of the Moto X and that you believe the logo partition to be named "clogo" if this is a wrong assumption on my part then ignore the second line of code.
ALL USERS PLEASE IGNORE THE SECOND LINE OF CODING - "CLOGO" IS NOT CORRECT, THE CORRECT PARTITION IS "LOGO"

@maverixz ... I presume you are referring to @ddfault's dark colored logo and not my original post logo ... Just to clarify, you call it the "logo.img" but as you probably know to use it as a logo the image has to be either (1) a .jpg or .png graphic which you can then manipulate in a graphics program to make it the correct size and color etc and then (2) use such a graphics image in the Boot Logo Maker program to create a recovery flashable ".zip" file (only use v2.2 of the program) or a "logo.bin" file (use either v2.2 or v2.4) which you can then flash via fastboot.
EDIT::::: Although in point (1) above I only mention .jpg and .png files this is because they are the only practical alternatives, you could in fact also use .bmp files - however these are lossless and inevitably create images that are too big to be used by the Moto Logo Maker program.

@spotmark & @[1] ... Guys just in case @ddfault is not monitoring this thread or he may be busy, I have made a .bin file of his DarkImage and have fastbooted to my own Moto X Pure and it works fine ... bear in mind it is NOT a flashable zip version so you will have to install the file using "fastboot". I will try to upload the .bin file here but it may be that .bin files are not loadable to xda, if that happens then I will rename it by calling it a "zip" file. If that is the case you will have to download it, rename it to a .bin file then "fastboot flash" it. Trust this will work for you.
PS ... bin file wouldn't upload so had to change ext, don't forget it's NOT a flashable zip.

Does this also contain black "battery charging" images? And could this .bin be flashed with Flashify or do i have to use fastboot method?
Thanks.

To be quite honest I have never bothered to make & replace "battery charging" logos, just satisfying myself with the main "unlocked" logo but the Moto Boot Logo Maker program has the option to make those logos so give it a try - because of what I believe to be a problem with the META-INF files in the 2.4 version of the program you will still have to save your result as a .bin file not as a flashable zip. As a word of caution make certain that you put the correct size of image into the program.
As far as I know "Flashify" still needs a flashable zip file to work with so any kind of .bin file that you finish up with will have to be flashed using "fastboot", if I get the time I might experiment with battery charging logos.

If you read post #1 and Post #13 you will see that the Moto Boot Logo Maker isn't capable at this time of making "flashable zips" in the correct size for a Moto X Pure. In particular if you note what I say in #13 you can use the file there and flash it using "fastboot".
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin

I got it now. New to all this so just making sure. Thank you.

How to remove the warning sign "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted."?

How to remove the warning sign "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted."?
After unlocking the bootloader of my phone, the warning sign, "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted.", shows up every time I boot up my phone and I want to know if there's any way to remove it. I've read on a thread that it would disappear if I relock my bootloader, but I don't want that.
Other phones like the Moto G4 Plus, LG Nexus 5x, etc. also have some warning sign after unlocking the bootloader on those phones and the developers there managed to find a way to remove it. I've read that it was done by replacing the "imgdata bitmap files" and some tweaks on the boot logo but I have no knowledge about these type of things.
Here is the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ne...-change-bootlogo-images-imgdata-tool-t3240052
I have the PRA-LX2 version of the P8 Lite (2017) phone with an unlocked bootloader, TWRP, Root (Magisk), BusyBox and a Lineage OS 14.1 ROM.
Edit: Where can I find or get the boot logo files of our device? - It is located in the oeminfo partition of our device.

Not possible
Not possible unless you locked the bootloader again

Does anybody know where or how to get the boot logo files (logo.bin or splash.img) from our device? I tried this command in a terminal emulator
Code:
[STRIKE]dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/sdcard/backups/logo.bin[/STRIKE]
but sadly, the file didn't contain any images of the boot logo.
I'm trying to get our device a compatible boot logo changer from this thread but the developer there needs to see first the boot logo files of our device.

If I remember about it correctly this warning screen lays in the /product partition, at least in nougat.

I have been trying to root my metro Moto e5 plus

I was successful in getting the bootloader installed and also twrp but SU and Magisk kept giving error, somehow in the last boot I am now on a boot loop of bad key cannot boot to OS of phone and the backup of the OS will restore but it still will not boot past the bad key loop. I can get to the twrp recovery and the bootloader but no functions work in bootloader twrp works flwlessly but I have no image for my device. Does anyone have the stock rom for the metro verision of moto e5 plus. I have found one for the Cricket version but specs are all wrong. Any help would be appreciated

Would really appreciate it thx!

Those of you who seek root on the MetroPCS Moto E5 play, I got you
I was working on a simple, straight forward walk through. Maybe just pm me for the details. Would be easier to do it that way being as I'm currently @ work. I can't figure out how to post a pic directly from my Moto E, but if you pm, I'll send you some verification. I soft bricked mine 3 times trying to get it figured out. You know what they say though. 3rd time is the charm. PS, don't flash anything other than recovery!!! The no-verity will cause you to boot loop.

People don't really tell you how to fix the issue so if you still need help getting your phone back to normal
I will help
Every post I have tried has been flawed or wrong or won't work
Sometimes people just post **** and don't think

PM me, i'll help you as well if you need it. What you have to do is download a platform tools folder and extract it because you need to open it and open up a command prompt within the platform tools folder for the restoration of the phone's stock ROM can be successfully flashed on the phone. I have everything you need to get your phone back operational again. I'll even help you root it successfully if you need more help, and i'll help you decrypt it. there's even a successful custom ROM that i'm using now that's better than the others since the others have so many problems booting up or issues within the ROM itself.

If you could help me out with rooting my moto e5 plus I would be grateful I have a question though my baseband version says M8940TMO_32.22.11.69R
HANNAH_NA_TMO_CUST and the Official TWRP app says my device is Hannah so do I use the James varient or the Hannah one is the plus and one is the play correct? Thank you for any help you might be able to give me.

yes, the plus is hannah and the regular e5 is the play...you have the hannah version.

None of this helps me. I unlocked the bootloader tried to install magisk or supersu, but it keeps bootlooping to n/a. I can only get into bootloader and from there to TWRP. That's it. I do have adb access...

[LOGO][MOD] Motorola boot logo and Android 10 inspired bootloader

With the new release of Android 10 and custom ROMs making their way to our beloved Moto G5 Plus, I decided to create multiple boot logos that add the brand new "Powered by Android" text. On top of that, the bootloader now has a more modern, material feel to it! Don't worry about the annoying N/A text in the way. These logos hide it!
The Android version doesn't matter in this case. As long as you're rocking a Moto G5 Plus, you're all set. I wouldn't recommend flashing these on other devices, even if they are by Motorola. You can give it a shot but please don't complain about issues. You were forewarned. All of these boot logos have been tested on my personal device and work without issue.
How to install
Fastboot (.bin)
First, you need to boot into the bootloader (Power off then hold power and volume down)
Plug the phone to your computer
Put the boot logo file that you downloaded into your fastboot folder
Open up fastboot and type "fastboot devices" and make sure your phone shows up
If your phone shows up then type "fastboot flash logo logo.bin" (logo.bin should be changed to the newly downloaded .bin file. Ex: "motorola.bin"
If everything goes well, you can type "fastboot reboot"
Flashable (.zip)
Just flash it in the recovery. It's that easy!
Download
Logo download: http://bit.ly/MotoLogos10
The download includes a pack of all the boot logos. They are named according to their looks. Flashable zips and fastboot (.bin) files are both included in this pack. In case you have trouble with my naming scheme, you can check this list below. They are in the same order as the attachments so you can tell which is which!

You can use whichever method that suits you.
Both will give the same results.
The fastboot one might be for the users that don't have TWRP installed.

How do I restore the original one. I've noticed my phone taking too long to reboot, shut down and I don't know if it's related but when entering recovery it takes like dice minutes to enter rhe recovery menu

Thanks Man!!! Appreciate the new modern looking logo

Changelog 12/14/19
Seven brand new logos are now available in the pack!

If anyone would like some ROM specific logos, I'd be willing to add them to the pack. The more the better!

Would you mind creating a HavocOS 3.0 styled variants?

Does flashing this removes 'this phone is unlocked visit some url' blah blah blah?
