Hi, because you should not flash bootloader.
you can try those 2 solutions:
the fast one, it should work. The flashall command flash every.img files he find in the fastboot directory. So try to remove the bootlader.img and execute the flashall command.
the manual one (longer one):
Put only the recovery.img, boot.img, and the system.img files ( you should have something like 13 , named "systemchunk0/12.img") in your fastboot directory and flash with fastboot ( the command is always the same: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, fastboot flash boot boot.img, and for every single part of system.img you should flash like "fastboot flash systemchunk0(until 12).img " so you flash flash 13 times the system with avery 13 parts .
Sorry for my english i hope you solved that

I did try this, but I still have no signal because the modem file is part of the bootloader, and no modem means no mobile signal

Ah ok i didnt understand that you have this modem issue. I don't kno how to help you...you phone is bricked so you can test few solutions without more risks .
before flash the original recovery , boot and system by fastboot, you can try to install TWRP again and flash only the bootloader from TWRP (should support .zip and .img files). Then you turn the phone in fastboot mode and flash other stuff .

Factory Images & Systemless Mode
Q: I messed up help me?!
So you screwed up and didn't follow Rule Number One in the IT-Handbook?
Which is: Always create a backup before working on a system?
Download the Factory State Images. Which are all flashable with fastboot: https://goo.gl/JTCwKj
Place the files you want replaced into the "Minimal ADB & Fastboot" installation directory and start it's shell:
If you want to flash back the stock image. Simply run:
Code:
Code:
fastboot flashall
You can also replace all partitions if required.

Thanks, I was on P2a42_S038...TMO (T-Mobile, checking OTA update = you are using latest software) flashed this P2a42_S048_ and got OTA info to download latest ROM P2a42_S062_170117_ROW (103MB) :good:

Is there an alternative download link? What is Mega? I want to avoid these third party download utility if I can...

I put the following into a BAT file and placed it into ADB / Fastboot directory:
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt_both0.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash system systemchunk0.img

fastboot flash system systemchunk7.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk8.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk9.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk10.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk11.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk12.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
pause
Extract all the files listed in the BAT file or simply extract the entire archive to ADB / Fastboot and launch the BAT file.

Does this work?? @Undesirable
the above post

Oh yeah, it unbricked me and put me back to stock so I could get OTA updates for Nougat. You need the archive posted earlier in the thread though.

@Undesirable Nice and elegant solution man! Typing all this stuff was so annoying.

For those who need an alternative download source, I offer this magnet link:
Code:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ef05ea3af4da8a0cbb137c10621942f3ae16d46f&dn=P2a42_S048_161111_ROW_fastboot.7z
It's slow unless lots of people help to seed it.

Is it possible to flash this firmware 2a42_S048_161111_ROW_fastboot.7z on the P2c72 with firmware build number: V3.5_1652_5.1342.1_ST_p2c72 ???
I bought this phone 4GB Ram/64GB from china, but I want to put the international firmware on it.
Thanks!

how can I replace my data partition? It's not getting formatted due to an encryption error

If fastboot erase userdata doesn't work, then use TWRP to change user data file system to EXT4 then change it back to F2FS again.

Need help...
I flashed back the stock ROM (due to encryption error in custom 7.0 ROM) using fastboot commands, but my SIGNAL WON'T WORK after I started d phone . I've tried reflashing the stock firmware (and also custom ROMs) but my phone won't detect the signal. "About phone" settings show unknown baseband and IMEI... how to get it back

I've flashed 'ROW' variant of stock ROM. Is there a different version for Indian variant?

P2 (UK) on 3 - Going from 3 to stock rom

Hello all,
I'm a bit confused about the process of taking my current '3' ROM and changing it to the official Lenovo Rom.
I have downloaded the lenovo drivers (installed and ok) phone is in debug mode.
I have downloaded the stock rom from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/development/7-0-lenovo-p2a42-stock-nougat-update-t3581517 and have adb / fastboot.
I know I have to use the volume rocker and powerbutton to get into the boot mode but I don't know the commands for adb or fastboot. I have changed the name of the rom to 'update'
Can someone please advise me on the commands I am meant to enter to get this onto my phone please?
Thanks in advance,
Cue
Copy all the code below, paste it to a new text file on your PC and save it as All Files instead of .txt and name it a fastboot.bat. Place the fastboot.bat in the adb/fastboot directory, also place the unpacked rom in the same path. Run it as admin. Profit.
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt_both0.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Hi, op here.
Firstly, thank you for responding! Your instructions seem very clear. When i had a look at the contents of the ROM (in zip) i couldn't see any of the systemchunk files you mention, are they hidden deep somewhere?
Regards,
Cue.
If your phone is stock the Rom can be updated without fastboot or a PC.
All the instructions are in that thread.
Huh. Surely just boot into recovery and install the update.zip? No need to have it connected to pc.
Hello all,
Yep. I un-encrypted the sd card copied the zip onto it and booted up that way. Very easy. Now running stock directly from Lenovo which I am very happy about! It also pushed the new 78mb update as well.
Thank you for all your input.
same way i did it too theirs no need to do it through fastboot method just like the other people i did it through the built in recovery by renaming the Nougat rom to update.zip works fine and you will get another update ota straight after t obring it right up to date.
Sounds like you guys have this sorted :highfive:
Just for completeness, can somebody upload the original 3 rom? It just helps out the person who thinks they have a hardware issue and may need to return the phone to 3.
If you try and return your phone and it doesn't have the original 3 rom, your chances of a good outcome are obviously less as you have tampered with the phone etc.
The warranty is with Lenovo Not three.
Doubt there'd be an issue as the bootloader will still be locked and it's an official Lenovo Firmware.
Since flashing nougat and a factory wipe my VOLTE is now working.
I did the same flashed nougat and volte is working but only shows up some times not as much as I'd like is their any way to get volte to work more often. In my bedroom where the signal is weak I don't get the volte symbol at all.

How you enabled VoLte on nougat? You are on stock rom or branded?
I'm on stock unbranded.
VOLTE settings now show up in phone menu and it just works. I had to factory reset though as initially it didn't work after flashing nougat.

[GUIDE][Perry(Qualcomm)][Windows, macOS & Linux] Flash Stock Firmware and Recovery
*This has only been personally done and tested using a Sprint Qualcomm variant of the Moto E4. I will be working on expanding this guide to cover all specific models of the Perry to avoid potential confusion as there are minor differences, so if anyone wants to pass along their firmware's flashfile.xml into my inbox it would be greatly appreciated.*

ADB and Fastboot mini .zip for macOS/Windows (Linux users make sure to have android-sdk installed, no need for this download)
All Stock Firmwares (sperry is Sprint firmware, perry is the rest of the Qualcomm models (Thanks to proudlytm) https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto//
What you need:
A Windows/macOS/Linux computer
A USB cable
ADB and Fastboot files
Stock Firmware
Your phone
*Disclaimer* Your warranty is now void if you modify your phone. I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
Let's get started! First, backup to your computer/Dropbox/etc. all the files you wish to save. This will wipe all data off your phone including root (Not data saved on any cloud services, such as Google, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.)
Second, boot your phone into the bootloader. This can be done in certain ROM power menus, or with the ADB command "adb reboot bootloader" in Command Prompt/Terminal, or also by turning off your phone and then holding the power and volume down buttons at the same time. After booting into the bootloader, plug your phone into your computer.
The firmware file will look similar to This when extracted
Make sure to look in the firmware folder to see if you need to change a few lines during flashing. If you are unsure, check the flashfile.xml
Next open up Command Prompt if on Windows, Terminal if on macOS/Linux.
Navigate in CMD Prompt/Terminal to the directory you downloaded and extracted the stock firmware. Copy the Fastboot and ADB files into the same directory as the stock firmware files.
For Windows and Linux users, enter the following commands in Command Prompt/Terminal (use sudo before each command in Linux, or use sudo -s beforehand):
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

This is good for the XT1766, but the other variants firmwares have differences. Some have an extra system sparsechunk and an oem.img rather than 2 oem sparsechunks.

Hello, I have followed all of the directions and when I reboot the device, it says "bad key" then it goes to a screen where it says "erasing" and just keeps on doing this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have restored stock on my E4's (I have two, one with a cracked screen) a whole bunch of times, from soft-bricked stock and also from custom ROM's. The key for me was to NOT flash gpt.bin. Leave that step out.
First thing I'd try is re-flashing just the stock boot.img, then see if you can get boot normally... if not...
Try re-flashing stock bootloader and stock recovery, reboot to stock recovery and factory reset. Reboot to bootloader and start stock flashing again (thanks @acejavelin), but don't flash the gpt.bin.
If that fails, one thing that worked for me when I was bootlooped was to completely install a custom ROM and Recovery (I used LineageOS and TWRP), get it up and running, then go ahead and restore the whole business back to stock.
The bad key thing.... it will say that for a few seconds (up to 30 seconds, maybe?) on boot when you restore stock but should get past it. I think it keeps echoing that every time you restart until you've replaced your recovery with a custom one, then the message turns into 'N/A'.

Ok so I wanted to update this thread. I have the XT1768 and the instructions are a bit different. For the XT1768 there is a Sparsechunk.5 and also for the XT1768 there is only a oem.img. By changing those steps I was able to get unstuck and back in business.

Help restoring to stock image, after trying to install copperhead os

Hi all,
I'm sorry to ask this question, but I'm really struggling to get my Nexus 5X to boot into stock rom. The install seems to go ok, but there was error when flashing.. See below...
archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
archive does not contain 'dtbo.img'
archive does not contain 'dt.img'
The phone now boots to the google boot logo, then loops back to either the "Unlocked Bootloader" or the Custom OS message. (depending on the locked state of the bootloader)
I cannot get into recovery, as the phone just loops back as described above when selecting it from the bootloader option.
Can anyone advise me on how to restore the phone back to stock os. I've tried flashing version 7.1.2 8.0.0 and 8.1.0, using either the flash-all.bat or manually typing the commands. I'm 110% sure this is not to do with over heating on CPU/RAM, I have another nexus 5x that has the bootloop of death and it's bootloop is very different from what I'm seeing on this Nexus 5x.
Thanks in advance
First, the .sig errors are normal so you can ignore those. I would make sure your booloader is unlocked then manually flash the bootloader.img. Then boot back into the bootloader. Then manually flash the remainder of the partitions. Use the 8.1.0 os.

Ok here's what I've done.
1) Downloaded bullhead-opm2.171019.029.zip from Google factory images.
2) Extracted the zip to a folder and extracted image-bullhead-opm2.171019.029.zip to the same folder to get the boot.img | system.img | vendor.img and recovery.img file. (there was no userdata.img nor cache.img within the zip, so I downloaded 7.1.1 version and extracted those files too)
3) Using SDK tools ADB /Fastboot version 1.0.38, I flashed the following:-
fastboot flash bootloader C:\bullhead\images\bootloader-bullhead-bullhead-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:\bullhead\images\radio-bullhead-bullhead-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot C:\bullhead\images\boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache C:\bullhead\images\cache.img
fastboot flash recovery C:\bullhead\images\recovery.img
fastboot flash system C:\bullhead\images\system.img
fastboot flash vendor C:\bullhead\images\vendor.img
fastboot flash userdata C:\bullhead\images\userdata.img
fastboot oem lock
Everything flashed without a problem, no error. However the phone still does not boot into the OS nor can I get it to boot into recovery mode.
I cannot understand what I am doing wrong. I think it has something to do with the installation of copperhead I tried. Does anyone know whether copperhead os restricts going back to stock rom due to its additional security features?
I'm stuck!!!
Thanks in advance.

Why don't you use the "flash-all.bat" file? I'm pretty sure you're not wiping your system partition in the process you use.

Hiya,
I have also tried using the .bat script, it leads to the same place. A phone that does not boot.
thanks in advance.
Can you boot into twrp, fastboot boot twrp.img? If you can try formatting, not wiping, the data partition. It also gives you the option to repairing some other partitions, I don't remember which ones. You could try that.

[GUIDE] How to root it

First, I assume you know what root, fastboot, SafetyNet, bootloader, adb is ( SEARCH FIRST BEFORE DOING THESE STEPS! ) and you know the risks of rooting a device!
Me nor the XDA guys are responsible for bricked devices, nor any damage to you and/or your device.
So, after that, let's dive into the steps of rooting it
First of all is to download your stock android image ( in case something goes wrong plus the boot.img needed for this process )
You can download your stock image the way you want, you can use lolinet etc, just make sure it matches your device!
So, open the image you downloaded, extract the boot.img file and put it on the phone's internal memory, then download Magisk Manager ( I personally used GitHub to download.... ) and open it.
Now, select 'Install' ( the one that says Magisk, not the manager ), go to 'Select and Patch a file'
Navigate and select your boot.img, then wait for it to complete, after that, you'll see a file in the Download folder on the phone called 'magisk_patched.img' grab this file and put it on the computer.
The next step is that you'll need to unlock your bootloader ( I'll not cover how to do that here, but a quick search on ' how to unlock Motorola bootloader' should help ), but be aware that it will format your phone ( you'll lose any saved data, so pay attention! )
After, put the phone in fastboot mode again ( vol minus + power button ), then on the terminal window you're using fastboot, run this command:
fastboot boot magisk_patched.img
( I assume you put the magisk_patched in the same folder you're running fastboot ( Windows case ) )
REMEMBER TO TEST EVERYTHING ON YOUR DEVICE IN THIS PART BEFORE CONTINUING!!!!!
IF YOUR PHONE DIDN'T BOOT OR BOOTED BUT WITH MALFUNCTION STOP NOW AND REBOOT IT, MAYBE YOUR STOCKROM WASN'T CORRECT OR SOMETHING ELSE...
After that your device will normally boot, install Magisk Manager and check if it "says" installed and displays the version.
If so and your device runs fine, reboot again to fastboot then run on the terminal window:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
This will make the root persistent after reboots
Now as you expected, you're rooted
A bonus tip:
Safetynet will fail! To fix that, open Magisk Manager, then go to it's settings, then tap to enable "MagiskHide" and then tap "Hide Magisk Manager" type a new name for the Manager and boom, that's it, now SafetyNet will work ( In my case it did hehe )
I'm new to English, learning alone, so any mistyping etc tell me and I'll fix it
Also I'm new to XDA too hihi
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience!
Has there been anyone else who managed to root this device?
I really want to buy one but first I want to make sure I will be able to root it from day 1. I don't like to use an unrooted phone
I bought my device last Black Friday and rooted it this week with this guide.
I’ve downloaded my boot.img from Lolinet and googled how to unlock a bootloader of a Moto phone.
I’ve also enabled oem unlock in developer settings.
It’s not so difficult.
The bonus tip from the OP is very helpful. Only rename Magisk is not enough. Also hide the manager to pass the safetynet test.

Amazing tips. I think in the end we are free to root it without screwing the device for good
Thanks!!
Ok, I got mine yesterday, and today I successfully root it.
It worked flawlessly!!
Thanks for the guide and advices!!
Root now si possible with twrp, new update thanks @seba_3567

First, I assume you know what root, fastboot, SafetyNet, bootloader, adb is ( SEARCH FIRST BEFORE DOING THESE STEPS! ) and you know the risks of rooting a device!
Me nor the XDA guys are responsible for bricked devices, nor any damage to you and/or your device.
So, after that, let's dive into the steps of rooting it
First of all is to download your stock android image ( in case something goes wrong plus the boot.img needed for this process )
You can download your stock image the way you want, you can use lolinet etc, just make sure it matches your device!
So, open the image you downloaded, extract the boot.img file and put it on the phone's internal memory, then download Magisk Manager ( I personally used GitHub to download.... ) and open it.
Now, select 'Install' ( the one that says Magisk, not the manager ), go to 'Select and Patch a file'
Navigate and select your boot.img, then wait for it to complete, after that, you'll see a file in the Download folder on the phone called 'magisk_patched.img' grab this file and put it on the computer.
The next step is that you'll need to unlock your bootloader ( I'll not cover how to do that here, but a quick search on ' how to unlock Motorola bootloader' should help ), but be aware that it will format your phone ( you'll lose any saved data, so pay attention! )

( I assume you put the magisk_patched in the same folder you're running fastboot ( Windows case ) )

yes or yes I must download the full firmware, can't find the boot.img directly?
Hi, I root the G9+ with your guide and now it's rooted, thank you for post it. I want to change te system fonts, I have some visual impediments and I need a fonts with more contrast and bold. I try with Fontster, HiFonts, Zfonts, and many more. I grant root privileges to these via MagiskManager, but without any success. It's normal that? any idea why? The rootchecher confirm that the phone it's rooted. Please can help me? Thank you and please excuse my poor english

I think u'll need to port your custom fonts as Magisk Modules, since you can't change system files directly ( even with root ).
Hi, I'm new to rooting the phone, I managed to unlock the bootloader, I did everything as in the description except the last step because the fastboot boot magisk_patched.img command did not work. So I copied the magisk file to the adb folder and typed: fastboot flash boot C: \ adb \ magisk_patched_INTjS.img. My phone touchscreen has stopped working. I'm very worried. Is it possible that I used the wrong stock image version or did I do it wrong? Now I wish the phone would just work

So maybe your stock was wrong, if ' fastboot boot magisk_patched.img ' failed then u can't force ( fastboot flash ) the installation since it'll probably cause problems...
I suggest you try to download your stock rom and re-flash the boot partition, if no lucky, try using ' Lenovo rescue and smart assistant ' and hope it works again...

Yes, I tried to enter this command but it said that it cannot find the file magisk. Tomorrow I will try to install the stock rom with RSD Lite if that's the right decision, with the help of this website: https://www.androidinfotech.com/moto-g9-plus-odessa-android-10/. If that doesn't help, I will have to give it to repaired because I won't be able to handle it myself.

Lenovo tool does not work although my model exists its: G9 plus XT2087-2 error that appears: Unable to match tche appropriate firmware. Some key information cannot be read from the device. You can find my stock room here:
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/odessa/official/. Its RETEU or RETEU_PL version: XT2087-2_ODESSA_RETEU_10_QPA30.19-Q3-32-50_subsidy-DEFAULT. I am from Poland, so it could be RETEU_PL. How can I install this stock room if the lenovo tool doesn't work?

Room that I will download should I unpack to adb folder or where? Is it safe to install it yourself or is it better to go to a local phone repairer? It may be hard to find someone who knows what to do.

Yeah, as I said, u need to unpack it to the folder where you see the ' fastboot.exe ' file, and then copy all the spoiler commands I sent, put the phone in fastboot mode, and open the cmd in the folder where fastboot.exe and your extracted rom is, then paste and run the spoiler commands and you're good to go, remember that it'll take a while since it'll re-flash all your system.

Ok I will try this method in the evening when I have free time, thank you for your help and sorry for my lack of knowledge. I'm also afraid that when I install the wrong room, usb debugging will turn off, although the theoretical version number is correct.

No prob, we're all learning, and all you need to fix a device that doesn't boot, is an unlocked bootloader, since u can re-flash, I did this on a few devices ( moto x4 ; moto G5s ; moto g9+ ) and succeeded on repairing those...

In other Treble (a/b slots) based phones, the recovery is built into the boot rom. Likely you will need to re-flash the boot.img. That's what I would try first.

You are going to need extract the global rom
Follow these instructions
Extract Android OTA Payload.bin File using Payload Dumper Tool
Learn how to dump and extract Android OTA Payload.bin file to get the boot.img (for rooting with Magisk), vendor.img, and other other partition images.
www.thecustomdroid.com
Once extracted, you should then be able to fastboot flash boot_(a or b) boot.img

What TWRP did you install? Make sure you're downloading a TWRP that's available for this device. So far, to my knowledge, there isn't a TWRP recovery for this device yet.
Hello there, how did u just unlock bootloader by fastboot command? didn't use OEM unlock option on dev setting?
Btw can you share me your twrp that you used?
I need it so badly my rom bugged stuck at google account setup
