Hello,
I need advice, please. MOTO G2 (2014) XT1068
XT1068 unlocked>TWRP installed>TWRP Fix permissions clicked>now boot animation and goes into black screen (with backlight).
More detailed:
Last night I have unlocked my XT1068 and installed TWRP, no problem.
(following this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLSTDsFG1xw, citing https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-0-1-moto-g-2014-t2896165).
First deviation was I got TWRP from http://www.devfiles.co/download/4lhHC4Uv/TWRP_2.8.0.1_Titan_v2.img as I ran into an unavoidable sign-up trap following the cited url).
Second deviation was I chose to install SU offered by the TWRP app via Gplay, which was unsuccessful.
So I decided to go back and follow the instruction, using the provided "Update SU" file but found my Windows Explorer but it didn't give me access to internal memory or SD card. After short research, I found that XT1068 "developer options>USB configuration" toggling MTP to Charging only and back MTP helped https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/3nnkaa/cant_access_android_device_internal_storage_from/ as the Windows Explorer was able to access the XT1068 memory. (SD card was setup as internal memory).
I copied the file over, rebooted into TWRP but couldn't see the file. I remember having seen something like "unable to mount or access memory" in TWRP and remembered from XDA thread that permissions might be messed up. It was late, I jumped to a conclusion when I found the TWRP option "Fix permissions". I clicked it and have since the issue.
I can get into the menu which offers "recovery" and also get into TWRP
I have tried "Factory reset" but I am not sure what happens there, Motorola boot animation comes and then the black screen again (with backlight)
I think I have options but feel like in a minefield and better ask for what to do next.
Thank you
can you tell me you're bootloader version and on what android version you were when you messed up things? If your phone boots up to the bootloader i.e. the menu which allows you to enter recovery then you're having more than one options to fix this problem. But be careful this time. as this may brick your phone and it will be gone for good..
Read this XDA thread and do the steps carefully. This may restore your phone
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-stock-firmware-t3018682
Hi, I had the stock Marshmallow and bootloader is showing 48.86 (if that is actually the number). I was aiming to do a titanium backup and then probably try a custom ROM.
I will follow the steps in the link provided to get back to a known working state before trying a custom ROM but I really like to understand what went wrong and in what state the phone now is. I don't think my deviations where a bad choice but clicking "Fix permissions" obviously was. I like to learn from mistakes.
Thanks for helping me out.
Ok, read the guide and am uncertain which firmware is the correct one for New Zealand (the thread is full of confusion about the versions). I am waiting for a reply there and asking here if I could from this point also try to flash a custom rom via TWRP? Or better back to a working condition before doing this? Thanks.

Umm.. About the firmware version of the stock ROM, you can search google for it. And as far as your question about trying a custom ROM, you can try whichever ROM you want (except Ubuntu Touch, it's installation methods are too confusing). Just download the ROM in .zip file and download "Google Apps (GApps)", I prefer open gapps and install the rom via TWRP.
Wipe out these paritions in TWRP > Wipe > Advanced Wipe:
Dalvik/ART cache
Cache
Data
System
Also before installing any custom ROM read the steps plus read user comments before flashing anything
P.S. make sure your TWRP is latest. For TITAN it is TWRP-3.2.0-0

Yes, thanks.
I have flashed ROM's successfully before on Galaxy S3 and Tab 2 and used gapps via TWRP.
I have tried Google for the correct version but find myself turning in circles, most-likely my limited search term knowledge.
https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoG/comments/4bgg02/info_all_moto_g_codenames_models_variants/ shows "XT1068 : Latin America/EU/UK/Asia/Australia/Germany/Brazil/India, Dual SIM" and the listed ROMs named XT1068_TITAN_RET ...(BR for Brazil?) (LA for Latin America?) (DSDS for India?) (GB for UK?) (DE for Germany?) then what? Some are obvious others are what I have read through various comments, DSDS may even be for (EU/INDIAN/GLOBAL), I have not been able to find a really good page explaining this.
You did not answer my last question directly but given that you stated how to flash a ROM and what to wipe, I assume you mean that I could alternatively install a custom ROM at this stage. (Which is what I had planned originally).
Still, would be nice to know the correct firmware version and also why clicking "Fix permission" turned things into custard.
Thanks.

Yeah, I´ve seen in the post of @karteileiche that link: http://www.devfiles.co/download/4lhHC4Uv/TWRP_2.8.0.1_Titan_v2.img. That recovery is outdated and not from the original source. Maybe that´s the reason why things get messed up.
Downlad latest TWRP always from this site if you don´t need something unoffical for your device: https://dl.twrp.me/
For titan this would be: https://twrp.me/motorola/motorolamotog2014.html
About installation of custom roms: When you check any thread of custom roms you´ll find in the OP what to wipe and what to use.
And imho it would be better to first flash the actual recovery before flashing any custom rom.
Valid point, thanks for reminding me and providing the link.

Yess, you can try installing custom rom and see if that works.. otherwise flashing stock rom will also be an option for you.
Fixed
Resolved by using the latest TWRP version and a clean flash of a custom ROM.
Thank you Wolfcity :good:

@reg66..Do you also mind creating a new thread for the root images so it would be easy for all members to get after every update?

Sorry dude, just don't have the time to maintain a thread with updates and guides etc... Only been more active recently because I've got time off work and a new phone!
Let's say I once flashed custom on my C25, and now I've decided to go back to stock firmware. For Xiaomi phones, there is a MiFlashPro program, with which you can download the necessary firmware in a couple of clicks and return the phone to its original state by flashing all possible sections of the phone: system, recovery, etc.
Is there such a possibility for realme phones via other software?

edited, i put the wrong link. sorry for the inconvience
Has root for the NE2217 been achieved yet? I've been searching thru the threads & cannot find mention of someone achieving root specifically for the NE2217 model. It is the US T-Mobile version. Any help is greatly appreciated
Still waiting on one plus to update the page to unlock the bootloader. Hopefully we get a modified Msn tool soon.

SCAM. Firmwares are released free from OnePlus. That site wants you pay for it then download 2 additional apps just to open the file

yup just realise that
You don't really need to wait for the firmware, you just need to extract the boot image then boot it...
I'll find the commands required to do this.
I'm out at the moment

I can't find it?? Wth!
I'll keep looking, really annoying me, haven't had to do it myself but remember seeing the process
Until the commands are found to extract a boot image from a live device are found.
Why don't you attempt to boot a boot image from a comparable model?
Do not flash it unless it actually works as you do not have a route back to stock, but by booting it's risk free just obtain a patched image ( I have some in my root guide in the guides section )
Pop your phone in fastboot then just run fastboot boot name of boot image, the phone will boot. If it fails to boot just hold the power and volume buttons and allow it to restart, you original boot image will be intact and nothing will have changed.
If it does indeed work then you could use Magisk to make it permanent by opening Magisk and clicking install / direct install as you'll be rooted at this point.
As you're on T-Mobile you need to verify that your calling and text ability works as well as your internet access .
Have seen a tonne of issues with T-Mobile and custom ROMs / rooting, so yep be weary of processes, make sure you test everything first before committing to changes like this.
Side note: have you actually unlocked the bootloader? Not sure if the process is the same for you guys or not but thought I'd ask. Obviously won't be able to boot anything with a locked bootloader
Well, I tried LOS 20, and I couldn't get a cellular connection. In fact, when I tried to get into the SIM options to fix them, settings crashed. So I said "screw this" and reverted to stock using this guide.
And now I'm in a bootloop. What do I do?
I saw some people talking about other devices who recommended clearing the cache and the data. I tried to do that, not sure if I did it right because stock recovery is hard to work with.
I need some good advice to get this thing back on track.
Did you do a factory reset? If not, your phone will bootloop. You can also issue the fastboot - w command if you can get the phone in fastboot mode.

I did what this guide said to do. I also tried a factory reset after. No dice.
Go to lolinet and download the correct carrier and region firmware for the way your phone started off. Use the guide on the xda forum to flash stock firmware. Or get the flashing tool from the Telegram channel. Flash it again and don't forget the factory reset or fastboot - w. The Telegram channel also has a batch file already written that will flash a stock ROM to both the A and B partitions.

I'll give these things a try. What about Lenovo's tool? Is that an option?

It is. But, it is hit and miss. It is great for downloading the correct firmware, less great for flashing it. I don't know why, but I know it is the truth from experience and research.

This is the batch file I use.
I had trouble using the Moto Flash Tool.
Fortunately, however, Lenovo's Rescue and Smart Assistant has saved my bacon. The phone has booted up. And hopefully, this time, everything is going to be ok.
