Now that the bootloader is unlocked, everyone is asking "WTF do I do now?". Well, here's a bit of help to get you started. I'm assuming you already have adb and fastboot setup and working -- if not, quit reading and get that taken care of. Also, I only run Linux...so I'll try to be transparent and only list the fastboot commands.
I assume that you're not a complete moron and can Google what you don't understand.
Don't use the stock\SDK fastboot binary for flashing /system.
An updated fastboot binary for Lin\Win\Mac can be found here on the Batakang FTP from our local, neighborhood Mattlgroff.
Linux -- Rename the file to moto-fastboot and add it to a directory in your $PATH -- Ubuntu\Debian users can just add it to ~/bin (enabled by default)
Windows -- Rename the file to moto-fastboot and put it somewhere handy...that's on you to decide.
ROOT\ADMINISTRATOR INFO
On Linux, you might have to run as root in order to run some of the fastboot commands. If your system uses sudo for root commands, typing "sudo -i" will bring up an interactive sudo shell so you don't have to type sudo over and over again. If your system uses su for root, well, you already know the command.
On Windows, you have to enable Administrator Privileges to be able to run some of the fastboot commands.
Linux Terminal Hints
~/ means your home directory -- example -- "gedit ~/Documents/file.txt" would open file.txt in gedit easier than /home/yourusername/Documents/file.txt
You can add a * to file names and directories to not type as much -- example -- "gedit ~/Doc*/file.txt" is the same as the command above, only shortened. If two files have similar names, like Documents and Downloads, then you have to type the name up until the firs different character then add *.
Use the command "../" to go up\back one directory. The command is stackable so "../../" would go back 2 directories and so forth and so on.
Use "cd" to change directories. Is an example really needed for this...
Proper Apps to Use
For zip file editing, use 7-zip on Windows and Archive Manager (file-roller) on Linux
For editing text files on Windows use Notepad++ or any text editor that has unix line breaks -- do not use default Notepad or Wordpad -- you've been warned. Use what ever you prefer on Linux. I prefer Gedit myself.
Basic Fastboot Command Syntax
fastboot flash "partition" "image" -- flashes partition image where partition is where to write to and image is the path to the image being written.
example -- fastboot flash system /path/to/system.img
fastboot -w -- does a factory reset; to expedite things, "-w" can be added to "fastboot flash system system.img -w"
fastboot continue -- continue with the boot process
fastboot devices -- list devices fastboot recoginzes
fastboot -s "device model number" -- set the device fastboot will write commands to; use "fastboot devices" to find model number
fastboot reboot bootloader -- reboot phone into fastboot mode (or restart fastboot mode while in fastboot); same as "adb reboot bootloader"
fastboot help -- list all of this & more
Command Info
Not all the fastboot commands work for us. Specifically, the "erase" commands. If a wipe command doesn't work, skip it. I'll mark them with a ! at the end if it might fail.

Obtain root after installing a Stock Firmware
There are two choices for obtaining root after a stock flash. the closed source SuperSu by Chainfire & and the open source Superuser by Koush.
Download SuperSu zip from Chainfire (Closed Source)
Download Superuser from Koush (Open Source)
Download the one of the root zips above.
Reboot into CWM/TWRP -- adb reboot recovery
Locate and flash the zip (see below for an alternative way)
Reboot, that's it. Nice not having to run exploits\hacks\Linux just for root
Install Rom/Zip file with ADB + CWM
CWM has the awesome ability to install zip files without having to manually copy them to the phone first. All's necessary is a PC with working adb.
Reboot into recovery
Select "install zip from sideload"
On PC, type "adb sideload /path/to/zip" and press enter
The zip will now be copied to the phone's cache & install
Once installed, do any requirements you'd normally do like wipe caches, etc
I have done this numerous times and it still will not boot into recovery. I have read and followed epinter, yours, official cwm, and other various Google found instructions (none of them functionally different) and still the same result. It recognizes the phone, writes, completes, then if I reboot and select recovery it goes to the android with the open chest cover with the exclamation point....
Any ideas how I could be screwing this up?

Unless you're not rooted with an unlocked BL, there's really no reason why it shouldn't work?

I was rooted before unlocking... shouldn't it still be rooted?

Yes, I did. After fastboot, I followed the OP instructions to uninstalling the SS recovery and SS app. Boot into recovery and got the open android.

same here.
I have the same problem. I was able to flash cwm, uninstall the SS recovery, and uninstall the app. The first time I got the dead android symbol. I restored SS via Titanium Backup, reinstalled the SS recovery, and flashed cwm again. I tried rebooting into recovery and was able to get cwm working. As soon I uninstalled SS and rebooted, I got another dead android.
probably because were all on the XT926 if we were to revert back to XT925 then the recovery should work otherwise we will have to tweak the recovery to get it to work properly witht the XT926 software awesome thing is we can now free up the space that SS used for a rom slot however for noobs you might wana stick with SS once you hardbrick without anything to go back too it will be game over for your phone and then you have to con ATT for another

If the phone is on, do the above and when the screen goes black, press them all again...I've been doing that for an hour now
I installed MR via fastboot and just now got it booting. I made the mistake of using the SDK fastboot to flash /system.

You won't lose root
And with an unlocked bootloader, all you gotta do is flash an updater zip with the su binary and app for Stock roms that don't have root
I'll link to a root zip in the op once I find one (or just make it; depends on how quick I find it in a search)

I had SS and was backed up, I booted up the "stock ROM" and was successful in unlocking the BL and flashing CWM. I made a new backup of the stock ROM and restored it with success in CWM. In the video it show he has MR , but im confused as to why.

Please help!
I am currently trying to root my TF701t on Jellybean but I appear to have corrupted my bootloader. I can boot into the bootloader and do a system wipe and boot Andoid, but when I select the RCK option I end up with the Android image on its back.
I have downloaded CWM 6.0.4.6 and tried to apply the recovery.img file via Minimal ADB and Fastboot command prompt only to be greeted with "cannot load "recovery.img" Result too large".
To be clear the system boots normally and fuctions perfectly - this is strictly a bootloader issue which has been unlocked successfully.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and apologies in advance if either the solution to this has been posted elsewhere or I have not given you the information you require to help.
Many thanks,
East
You need to fastboot recovery from the bootloader.
When you reboot into the bootloader do not select RCK. RCK is the recovery, I don't think the default one can do anything, you just get the android on it's back.
So it should be reboot into bootloader and then don't touch your tablet.
Then from your pc fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Make sure you are also on a 4.3 bootloader before you fastboot flash CWM 6.0.4.6.
The instructions above are correct
To flash a recovery you need to have the fastboot.exe file and cwm recovery.img file in the same folder.
Right click + shift on the folder they are in and choose open command prompt here
Boot into the Bootloader by either booting with the Power and Volume Down Buttons held down until you get the 3 icons or by typing the following into the command prompt.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then type the following commands to flash the recovery image:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Start the recovery by making sure the RCK icon is highlighted (use volume down to move) and push volume up to select.

In Windows 7 you can just navigate to the folder with explorer and in the address bar type cmd and hit enter

Thank You
Well.......this is very embarrassing.
I have rooted and installed custom roms on my last 3 phones including the my new Nexus 5 without any problems at all. I simply followed the instructions posted by the developers. At the same time I used to take the piss out of the other posters who raised queries because they hadn't followed the instructions. What do I do? Exactly that.
Please accept my apologies sbdags as it is your rom I am installing and thank you to You & Sleeepy2 for posting polite and prompt replys without having a go at me for not following your instructions.
Problem solved I am now rooted!
Thank you again.

I assume that you have mini-sdk.
Download the twrp recovery for your phone and rename it recovery and place it in the fastboot folder.
Now put your phone on fastboot mode ( power + vol down ---> fastboot )
now open command line in the fastboot folder by holding shift and right click
then type
fastboot flash recovery recover.img(name of the recovery)
fastboot erase cache
You are done.

It does not recognize because you must not have debugging enabled.

Rename TWRP recovery to "recovery.img"
Use these commands:

Hello, my watch R has 5.1.1 (LDZ22D) stock ROM and it has some problems. I tried factory reset, still not ok. I would like to try flashing again the stock ROM. I have found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch-r/development/stock-boot-recovery-g-watch-r-t2956964 , i downloaded boot.img, recovery.img and system.img, checked SHA1 but i don't know which version should i try? 5.1.1 (LDZ22D), 5.1.1 (LCA44B), 5.0.2: ??? Are there limitations for downgrade / upgrade ?
And as a guide to flashing...
1. i start watch, swype 11 to 5, so now in fastboot mode i connect to PC, the PC detect the watch as what ?
2. adb devices and if watch is detected i continue.
3. fastboot flash boot boot.img
4. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. fastboot flash system system.img
6. restart
is that ok ?
How long does it take to flash each of those imgs ?
thank you

Notes/FAQ:
1.) I re-mkbootimg-ed them since I'll be uploading 2 x 20+MB files if I didn't. Still has the same SHA1 checksums as the ones being checked by stock ROM so it's safe to flash.
2.) If you're confused on how to download click on the box marked in this pic.
3.) The commands for flashing are as follows:
Boot: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Recovery: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
System: fastboot flash system system.img
*replace boot.img, recovery.img and system.img with their respective filenames
**how to obtain the fastboot executables and drivers are explained in a separate thread
4.) The system.img provided above are stock and NOT ROOTED. If you want to go completely stock, just flash ALL the 5.0.1 images above.
*only for 5.0.1 since I didn't make a system image for 4.4W.2 or below

took that from the link you posted, just conect the watch to the dock while in fastboot mode, search for 15 second adb/fastboot installer, after installing that and the computer detects your watch just follow those steps using cmd and navigating to the directory where the files are at first, remember to install fastboot and adb system wide on the 15 second adb installer
when in fastboot mode the watch is not detected:
C:\Users\user>adb devices
List of devices attached
when i chose "recovery" in fastboot mode (android robot on back with door open and red exclamation mark) i get:
C:\Users\user>adb devices
List of devices attached
410KCHserialnr888 sideload
but the watch says he waits "adb sideload <filename>"
what i am doing wrong ? something else had to be done ?
thank you
you can use adb to boot watch on bootloader, but it is not needed since you can boot into fastboot already, problem is the watch is not detected on fastboot mode, try finding some drivers or something, what i usually do is download cydia impactor and select usb then let it do the driver stuff for me, quote me next time so i can get notified when you respond
Hello guys, ive been generally lucky in the sense that i have had no issues...until now.
I have tried installing the most recent updates (7.0, and now 7.1.1) and i continue to get this error through cmd. It does not seem to want to flash anything, and i have gotten it to flash, root, and twrp, but it still acted funky. Today, trying to remedy the situation, i attempted to flash the new 7.1.1 update, and return to stock (to later return to power user) but it is still doing it.
It says Bootloader: has-slot (not found), and a couple other things. When i try to flash individual pieces, it does not retain it. when i try to flash the flashall.bat, it flashes but does not flash everything, it will say the stuff has transferred 0 and skips it as it looks like. I cannot get my bootloader off the october one, and i have looked everywhere i can to try to fix this.. please help, its driving me mad. I will be happy to provide any information needed.
Thanks Community! You rock!
Have you tried a different USB cable? A different computer? How about a different USB AND a different computer? I think this would be a good place to start.
Can i ask you why this would matter? My usb seems to work fine, and my computer had no issues before this... i can still perform different actions, and my phone is showing up as ADB and Fastboot.
If it's not pc or usb cable related you can try to flash latest factory image step by step via fastboot without your simcard
Well, you might want to post the complete output of your flashing attempt, but if the bootloader slot isn't found, that's usually a sign of a hardware problem. Hopefully I'm wrong, but until we see more from you, I simply don't have an answer for you.
Ive tried to fastboot everything individually, and it refuses to take. I tried the flashall, same thing. I used NRT and it partially worked, but has sorta the same error. I will be flashing again and providing screenshots right now. I was able to get into a rom, root, twrp but i still cannot update all of those core things (bootloader, radio, and such) Thank you guys for the help. Much needed.
Here is the attempt to just flash the bootloader, i have tried from a different location but this is directly in Platform-Tools of the SDK. As you can also see, it does register under fastboot...

I just tried what you suggest, and im not sure if it worked. It said everything wrote (on twrp) but it was very quickly done. I feel it did the same thing as CMD did.
You could try using the correct Fastboot command...
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
The command is fastboot flash <partition> <image>
Your screenshot says only "fastboot flash image" but doesn't state the partition you're trying to load, hence "unknown partition".
And since we're on the subject, perhaps a repetition of the procedure I used to use before the full OTA days might be useful to you and other people.
Preparation.
- Take a TWRP backup and save it on your PC.
- Download factory image (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu) and unzip all files, including the zip within the zip. Rename the *.img files to the names below. Copy all of them to the same folder as your ADB/fastboot executables.
- Download the relevant TWRP and rename to twrp.img - also put in ADB/fastboot folder.
- Copy SuperSU to device (if root wanted).
- Set USB debugging in Developer options & attach to your PC.
- Open a CMD window, navigate to your ADB folder, and check connectivity with "adb devices". If it's ok, copy & paste each command below into the CMD window and run them - the only lengthy one is the system.img.

Can you give a bit more detail? So the phone is crashing, but is it now on the version that you wanted to have (7.0, 7.1.1)? There is rarely such a thing as "too much information".

Ok, so what happens is that it says i am on 7.1.1 with i guess the related info, but it does not load in properly as you can see with the screenshots. I start up the initial setup, and i can get through most of it fine, but some areas *permissions* are all blotchy. like i can toggle them on to submit data but i cant see what it is exactly im agreeing to. Then i start the phone, Google App automatically crashes, along side system ui. When i updated them, it seemed to fix the problem. But the issue is, i am not receiving phone calls and texts until possibly days later, and when i send texts it says "sending" and proceeds to spam the hell outta whoever its going to (sends literally 30+ texts). When i call someone, my phones Do Not Disturb mode gets enabled, and then nicely cuts out my audio. I can turn this feature off when im in the call, but sometimes it will then glitch the phone app, and i cannot essentially "hangup". My phone also now dies at 9%, where it had not previously (when i was on other rom / older stock) This all started after i updated to the october patch, and i noticed in december that i didnt have the december patch / update. I went to install it, and the same exact thing occurred. Ive attempted a rescue ota, and a sideload ota, and now this stuff as well, but i fear the worst for my phone. Let me know if i need to add anything else
Strephon may be right in suggesting a hardware fault, but equally it may just be that your phone is now somehow corrupted. My only suggestion is that you nuke it - factory reset, TWRP, wipe everything again in TWRP, and then try installing from fresh using the 7.1.1 full (not OTA) image and the instructions I posted earlier. If it still doesn't work I'm out of ideas, but there are people with far greater experience here than I have, so don't give up. It's too nice a device to just write off.

That's a new feature of 7.1.1. So you won't have to listen to notifications while on the phone. It's disabled as soon as the phone call is over.

I hope I'm wrong.
