How did you accomplish this? I can't get RSD Lite to detect my phone (although fastboot devices shows it listed) and I can't flash the full firmware via adb because I keep getting "Image not signed or corrupt". I'm really confused.

Please don't ask mods to delete threads because of successful outcomes - post your solution instead. Leave the threads up as they are a useful resource for others (at least those who search before posting! )

I kept getting the "Image not signed or corrupt" whenever I had to flash the boot.img but I ignored the error once to try and see if it had any positive outcome, and it worked fine !

Can't flash stock ROM, can you do a detail installation log?

Is ur bootloader unlocked or not??
If not try unlock ur bootloader than try it ll work

From what I can tell you will always get the "Image not signed or corrupt" error, but it works anyways. Idk why but it doesnt matter as long as it works . Motorola(Lenovo) has the instructions to flash stock firmware on your device, just download the firmware for your device and follow those instructions.

Did you only flash the stock rom or did you try to flash everything? If you didnt try to flash everything I would try that and make sure you have the correct stock firmware for your device before you do that. Theres not really much else you can do other than try flashing in twrp, but idk if twrp supports space chunks, but it does support images. If it really comes down to it, you can force flash the system partition in twrp, but you would need the whole system image and not space chunks.

Can't update software - file system may be corrupted.

Went through the whole process to get an unlocked phone working on verizon - unlock bootloader, TWRP, s-off, etc.
Went back and flashed stock 1.21 recovery since that's what my phone was on, did a factory reset after getting this error the first time.
Still getting the error -
Code:
Can't update software. There was an unexpected error and the file system may be corrupted. Please contact HTC support for further assistance.
Before flashing the stock recovery I did try to restore the recovery/system image from TWRP's system backup, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Try flashing this zip in download mode (fastboot flash zip pathtozip.zip)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8OH6sFjVE1ld1ptNTFEaEc3Rms/view?usp=docslist_api
Reboot and try ota again.
This will flash the unlocked radio though, so you'll need to reperform the steps from the Verizon thread after you do this. please report back if it works.

Worked great. Thanks!
For anyone else following this thread, if you're flashing the zip and see this:
Code:
remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately
Just flash again right away and it'll work fine.

Hey there, Ive come across your post after experiencing the same problem on a HTC10 international version. Can I ask if the file that you've provided work on the international version? Also do I have to restore my twrp backup as well? Thanks a lot!
Hi there, same problem: "Can't update software. There was an unexpected error and the file system may be corrupted. Please contact HTC support for further assistance."
Htc 10 unlocked, v. 1.90.401.5
I followed post #2 without success.
Some idea please?
Help, please! ?
I gave up with the same problem and switched to a custom rom - Leedroid.
Thank you Simplici. So no chance with official stock to solve this problem?

There is. You could flash an appropriate RUU if available. Although it'll wipe all you're data, it should restore the phone to a status, making an OTA update possible again. Those errors could be caused by a once r/w mounted system partition, or a tripped dm-verity flag. You'll find more on this issues and help of how to properly restore over at the Guides section of this forum.

Help needed ! stuck in Bootloop

Hey guys. Today I tried rooting for the first time using this guide
In the third step of the article "3.Flashing TWRP and Rooting via TWRP" I pressed cancel when it asks for an encryption password(I hadn't put one yet). I also flashed the english TWRP( Recovery file) and not the one provided in the article . Now the phone just wont boot. Whenever I try to boot it, it gives me the error message:
"Your device has been unlocked and cannot be trusted.
ID: N/A"
And TWRP comes up everytime .
When i try booting from factory it shows:
"Your device has been unlocked and cannot be trusted.
ID: bad key"
and TWRP comes up.
The phone is still recognized in adb.I still haven't flashed SuperSU if that helps.
Should i Flash stock recovery and try again ?
Please send help, guys.

I have similar problem like yours. The solution to boot your drvice. If your in twrp go to advance - reboot - bootloader. And in bootloader menu click start. And your phone now is booted
This is a alternative solution. But it wont damage your device. Trust me

I don't think I messed with the OS . I just unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP without flashing SuperSU.(done it for the first time for my Moto Z play). Used Wipe to clear davlik,cache and that's it.haven't done anything in the recovery since then.
The only thing i remember messing up was to not input the encryption key when it prompt me for it by clicking cancel.
I've read in some forums that it doesn't boot if it doesn't have SuperSU flashed,but I'm not sure if it's safe since i don't exactly know what might or might now permanently brick my phone.
Also some forums had something to do with patching the kernels (don't know if that's what you call it) but i don't know if it's a safe thing to do since it might also permanently brick my phone.

You used the Chinese TWRP originally? Now you have alberto97 TWRP? Is this correct?
I would flash a custom ROM, why I'm saying that is it's far safer flashing a zip ROM than trying to flash the stock firmware.
Again I will remind people the flashing bootloaders on moto devices will inevitably cause hard bricks if you downgrade and the accept an ota.
---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------
The only solution and this applies only if you want to remain on the stock ROM.
Download the retail firmware and only manually flash the boot.img, the 10 sparsechunks and the OEM.img.
Do not use rsdlite!!
This should boot your phone.

I would install the aosp ROM as it is bare bones android.
As for bootloaders, when you receive an ota it flashes a new bootloader.
What some folks have done is because they feel like a new ota isn't working to their liking, they have downgraded their firmare, either by flashing the firmware package that can be downloaded. They flash the entire package including bootloader, what this does is set up a perfect hard brick scenerio for moto devices.
They accept an ota or for reasons that are beyond uderstanding, sideload the package and bam as soon as they restart there device it bricks their device due to the mismatched bootloaders.
You are unlocked and the easiest way to prevent hard bricks is to for go flashing firmware.
I'm running validus 7.1.2 on the original bootloader that was installed on MM.

Bro are you sure you followed my instruction? In twrp menu click on reboot>bootloader
Then it will boot the device in bootloader mode. And in the bootloader menu click on "start" using the power button. Then it will boot your phone. Everytime you reboot your phone do the same step. If you want to get rid of that thing you need to flash official rom via rsd lite

Rsdlite sucks, never flash any firmware with resdlite unless you know which lines need to be removed from the text file that tells rsdlite what to flash.
manually flashing firmware is IMO much safer and all you need to flash is the boot.img all the spareschunks and oem.img

Question Locked bootloader while in download mode boot loop

Hey i was attempted to install TWRP and got stuck in download mode boot loop. Fixed it by flashing stock firmware. I noticed a small error with my camera so i tried to lock bootloader again to see if that would fix the issue. But after flashing stock firmware a second time after locking the bootloader it didnt work and im stuck in download mode boot loop again. Only this time i dont get the option to unlock the bootloader and i cant enter the OS in order to enable OEM Unlock.
Here is the error screen: https://prnt.sc/q8vmG--mTHxY
Anyone know how to get out of this mess? Thanks
Am i doomed?

You can't lock your bootloader when your phone have unsigned binaries such as TWRP/Magisk installed. Have you tried to flash again the stock firmware (BL/CP/AP/CSC)?
EDIT: by looking at the error it seems like your bootloader and vbmeta aren't from the same build (bootloader: DVK5, vbmeta: DVL2), I highly suggest you to flash the latest firmware available for your country

Shouldn’t be a big deal unless there’s something Carrier specific required by your phone. Just make sure you don’t lock your bootloader again while using custom binaries or you might soft brick your device again. To bypass the camera lock you can use a SafetyNet fix module for Magisk which will spoof the bootloader status to the camera HAL

You can't lock your bootloader when your phone have unsigned binaries such as TWRP/Magisk installed. Have you tried to flash again the stock firmware (BL/CP/AP/CSC)?
EDIT: by looking at the error it seems like your bootloader and vbmeta aren't from the same build (bootloader: DVK5, vbmeta: DVL2), I highly suggest you to flash the latest firmware available for your country

Am i supposed to flash only AP or all of them? I have only ever flashed AP and worked without problems but after locking the bootloader i only get the above error boot loop.

The error in your device happens for this exact reason: vbmeta partition in the AP tar can’t verify other system binaries since they’re older and you didn’t update them (DVL2 vs. DVK5). First flash the whole firmware package via Odin (BL, CP, AP and CSC), if you wanna root your device make sure you flash TWRP+a patched vbmeta image to avoid this error to happen again. Also do not relock your bootloader again while your phone has custom binaries flashed, if you wanna lock your bootloader flash the whole stock firmware package before.

I dont know if im using the right files but i still get the same boot loop (https://prnt.sc/1lCk2FQEymPn) after adding twrp-3.7.0_12-2-a52sxq.img.tar to AP and vbmeta_disable.tar to USERDATA.

Are you flashing the patched vbmeta in the TWRP XDA thread or another one? Also the latest TWRP version is 3.7.0-3 so flash that one.

Im using the vbmeta from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-for-galaxy-note10-lite-exynos.4350891/
I tried flashing that along with this: twrp-3.7.0_12-3-a52sxq.img.tar
But i still get the boot loop. Not sure if i can keep trying to re-flash these if the boot loop already happened

You must use the patched vbmeta linked in the a52s TWRP thread, flash that one and you should boot fine in TWRP.

I think it has something to do with the space in “New folder” name, try to copy the TWRP tar in a path that has no spaces

Oh yeah good catch, i renamed the folder and didnt consider that it might not be updated it odin. It finally worked, thanks again for the help very much appreciated
Hmm i guess problems keep popping up. I guess its best that i just post here instead of creating a new thread. Im successfully in the TWRP UI but now i cant boot to system, it will just restart 2 times and then boot to TWRP. Also it fails to backup the boot image (with the error "Unable to mount storage") which i read in a tutorial that you were supposed to do.

As mentioned in the TWRP thread guide, you must format your data partition in TWRP in order to be able to boot back in the OS.
