Can't Flash Stock Rom Anymore - Moto G Stylus (Moto G Pro) Guides, News, & Discuss

I flashed HavocOS to my phone but needed to go back to stock. In fastboot though the only files it's letting me flash are boot, system, product, and vbmeta. Any other file I try to flash it gives me an error. I can't remember the exact error because I'm not by my computer but is something along the lines of send successful but writing failed.
I did some searching and people with the same problem solved it by moving it to a USB 2.0 port. I didn't check which USB version I have but I'm fairly sure they're 2.0. and also I didn't think that mattered in my case because why would it let me flash those 4 files (the same type of files I flashed to install havoc) and not any of the other ones. That's why I'm thinking it's not a USB 2.0 issue

I think you may have fastboot and fastbootd mixed up.
Fastboot for flashing stock.
Fastbootd for roms.

I had no idea. Thank you

[Q] MIUI Rom gone wrong

okay so heres what happened.
I have an international htc one x that is indeed rooted with no roms installed.
I did create a back up and then tried to install the MIUI rom (but I dont really know where that is on my phone. I know I made one with rom manager. I dont have any backups on my computer though)
It worked, however, it didnt have wifi or data signals so i went back to try again.
I opened my bootloader screen. For the record, it is unlocked and hboot is version 1.73 if that helps.
I wiped cashe/data/delvic everything and even factory reset and installed the MIUI RD rom now hoping it would have a difference.
The darn thing got stuck on the MIUI bootloader for hours.
I did the same thing again a few times, sometimes in different orders and then it passed on and another screen came saying 'starting apps'. That got stuck for hours too.
Now I don't have any other roms on my phone, just the MIUI RD. The original miui just vanished too, i dont see it anymore. Also, when I put my USB wire to the phone and connect it to the pc, I cant transfer newer files into it. So this is all I have access to on my phone apparently.
I tried flashing a boot.img and a couple kernels but no luck. I've been trying to do this for all day and this is my first time so I don't know much about it.
I've been googling and somethings say to open cmd and type but i keep getting 'fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command'
Currently, its not stuck at either the MIUI screen or the Starting Apps. but just the HTC logo screen and not going past.
I don't really want to install any new roms considering i've worked really hard to get this to work and I really want it now more so.
How do i fix this? I want to use this rom.
flash philz recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240646), usb mounting should work on that, then:
steps to install ROM
1. bootloader version should be 1.3x
2. copy ROM to SD Card
3. copy boot.img INCLUDED in the ROM zip to fastboot folder
4. flash the boot.img in fastboot
5. in recovery, wipe system/data/cache/everything
6. flash rom
7. restart
but how exactly do i put it on my phone? my computer isnt detecting my phone when i connect it? im sorry im not exactly an expert on this.
Go to recovery - mounts and storage - hook up the usb cable - tap the last option in the mounts and storage list and wait a few minutes. It won't be mounted instantly
ok i flashed the philtz recovery but when i flash the boot.img it says:
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update
installation aborted
for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957490
thats the rom i used and i flashed the boot.img flasher thats right above the download link
edit: also i tried just flashing the rom again and im still stuck on the HTC screen.
its not even going to the miui screen or starting apps anymore. :[
Boot.img must be flashed via fastboot. Not via recovery !
ok, i looked up how to fastboot, downloaded sdk files and i moved the boot.img into the fastboot folder and i opened command prompt there and wrote fastboot flash boot boot.img but i keep getting:
'fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command'
what did i miss?
EDIT: ok, so the fastboot folder i got from the page didnt work so i used a different fastboot folder, dragged the .boot there and now it worked! finally passed the screen and wifi is connecting!
thank you!
Good, thanks to @tomascus. He summed it up real nice
Cheers

5x Hard Bricked??

I think I've done goofed my nexus.
Yesterday, I made a backup of my phone, and then booted it up. Everything was working fine prior to the backup, but as soon as I booted it after making the backup, it got stuck on the google logo. I tried restarting it several times, but it's just been stuck in a bootloop ever since. I've tried numerous things, like formatting it, flashing factory images, and so on, but it turns out fastboot won't detect my device. ADB detects my device fine, but only in recovery. As far as I know, I don't have usb debugging enabled (since I formatted it). It currently has no OS since I formatted it. I've tried installing stock android since formatting it but it still gets stuck in a bootloop.
All my drivers are correct (I've re-installed them probably 10 times by now), and the images aren't corrupted (as far as I know).
I've run out of ideas, as I've been trying to figure this out for the past 2 days with no success. Any help would be appreciated.
I've had a similar issue a couple times after doing something stupid (ADB or FASTBOOT could not detect the phone). The fix was to look in Windows Device Manager and make sure the phone really was detected and a driver installed. Windows would say that it could not find a driver but telling it to install manually did the trick..... as I recall there were a couple driver choices, so it might be trieal and error. Might not be the issue in your case since it does sound like the hardware has a problem, but worth looking into?

I've re-installed the drivers a couple of times now, and it doesn't seem to be fixing the problem.
I don't think it's a hardware problem, because I don't see what making a backup would do to the hardware of the phone (of course, I don't really know much about the hardware, so I might be wrong.) Thanks for the help, though!

Hi, since you're communicating with the device via ADB and can boot to recovery, I'm pretty sure you can still do something about it. I've had this issue and I can recommend starting to read up on Ubuntu or some type of Linux with a decent user interface. It's easier for starters.
You see, if you don't detect the device via the 'fastboot devices' command, then you have one of two big problems:
a) drivers are messed up - it implies you uninstall everything from Device Manager related to ADB / Bootloader interface. After that, shut off the phone, connect your type-c usb cable, boot up the phone into bootloader and let it install the drivers again (I didn't have much success with this but I read others have. Worth a try)
b) something messed up deeper, as in device permissions. When I had the issue, I used Mint (a Debian distribution) and installed all the drivers via the command line there. After that, when I ran fastboot devices, I got something. It was my lost N5x showing with 'no permissions' and no serial ID. I ran 'sudo fastboot devices' and lo' and behold, I saw the device. After that, I just used sudo fastboot flash recovery/system/etc with it and that was it.

I made some progress: my device is now detected in fastboot. I have literally absolutely no clue what happened. I guess it was a bit of randomness or luck or something (maybe wacky and goofy). I've done some flashing - I've flashed system, boot, recovery, cache, data, and radio, but it's still stuck in a bootloop. I don't know what's going on it with it now, but it seems like I haven't made any progress with fastboot.

Do you use 3.02.1. Twrp
Since you mention ADB works fine from recovery, have you tried to adb push a rom zip, and then flash it from your recovery?
Code:
adb push "/path/to/rom.zip" /data/media

Good. I see you mention flashing system, boot, recovery, cache(?), data(?) and radio. What do you mean by flash cache&data? You mean you've cleaned it? Formatting data is not usually a thing you have to do to recover from a bootloop.
What ROM have you flashed? Are you flashing stock? It's important you give more details so I can help you.
Have you flashed vendor.img? If you have been on a ROM that had it's own vendor.img and you went back to stock, then the vendor.imgs are different enough to cause a bootloop.
If all and all fails, we just want to see your system running so I'd recommend drop everything you are doing and follow these steps:
1. Access recovery (make sure you're using v 3.0.2.2)
2. Tap Wipe - > Advanced Wipe - > And check:
Dalvik / ART Cache
System
Internal Storage
Cache
3. Go to -> Pixel ROM (7.1.1) Get V 3.0 which was just uploaded recently. Please note it comes preconfigured with Gapps so no need to get that
4. You have to unzip the archive and you will see all the necessary img files (includes boot/vendor which are critical for boot). I strongly recommend manually flashing them. You can open the flash-all.bat file with a .txt editor and just follow the steps there.
After you have finished these steps, you should be free of a bootloop. From there, it is your decision where you. Either stay on a stock ROM or flash safely and always remember that you can make a backup and flash that backup in case you bootloop.
Good luck.

I think his problem is deeper than a /system error. I'm guessing the wrong boot/vendor is flashed for the ROM he is trying to install and trying to guess which ROM would work on his current config would take more time than just starting from a clean flash.
Thanks for the help guys, but I gave up. I contacted Google and they sent me a replacement. Sorry for kind of wasting time.

Moto e4 (XT1768): Unlock Bootloader/root permission - corrupted /system partition

Hi,
This is less of a question and more of an experience. That being said, if anyone has any suggestions, I still do not have a correctly mounted /system partition (I think).
Background:
I am new to the world of custom ROM's and the community with which it resides. I did dabble in it a few years back with the original casio commando, but that was before I ever touched a linux machine or read a line of code. I decided to mess with my new Moto e4 (XT1768), mostly to remove bloatware and maybe flash a custom ROM, though I did like the factory.
Procedure:
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery (TWRP) through fast boot. Flashed Magisk and got superuser permissions. Everything seemed to go fine. I didn't notice it at first, so I'm not exactly sure which step caused it, but every time I would reboot the phone, it would boot to recovery.
I was able to boot into fastboot from TWRP. From there I could start the OS. So i ignored it. But upon trying to run system updates they would fail.
Problem:
NOW I decided this minor glitch was the result of a larger issue. Turns out, somewhere between flashing TWRP recovery and flashing Magisk, I inadvertently removed/corrupted my /system partition. I get a error on reboots "unable to mount partition." When I tried to flash a custom rom RR, it would raise errors about /system not existing. In the TWRP "mount" menu, "system is unchecked, even when I check it and reboot. When I reboot the bootloader from TWRP I would get a msg NO OS Installed. This last one is contradictory because I can still access the OS, could make calls, etc.
Troubleshooting:
I tried remounting the /system partion, though I don't think I did it correctly. I couldn't find much about fixing partitions, and do not feel like breaking my phone, since it still works. Unfortunately I did not take a backup of the factory installation (won't do that again). The only backup I had was after the bootloader was unlocked and Magisk was installed. Rolling it back to this image, I am able to flash RR custom rom and it works fine, though the original issue still exists. I tried a few attempts to remove Magisk from the backup image, but results in a boot loop when booting to the OS. When it went well, I was able to boot straight to the OS, without it automatically booting to recovery, but the boot loop prevented any advancement.
I so far have not seen this particular issue happen to anyone else. If you have any suggestions, or advice on where to find a compatible factory ROM for the Moto e4 (XT1768), send them over. I've tried to flash a factory ROM that was close to my model, but no luck. If anyone has run into this probem, let me know so I don't think I'm the only one out here.
Nich
I know of one instance which can cause rebooting to result in recovery mode and system mount issues, as well as a solution to resolve it. When installing firmware via fastboot, or any other files via fastboot (even unlocking the bootloader with fastboot), it is extremely important that your first command is this:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
And your last command this:
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Sometimes, a failure to initiate and close fastboot with the above command lines will result in exactly what you are describing. Of course, to fix the issue, you will need to flash a compatible stock firmware package with the opening and closing lines I've listed. I will check my sources and try to find a package for your model.
Update: I have found a factory firmware package for the xt1768, which I am downloading now. I'll get you a link as soon as I get it downloaded, then uploaded to my cloud host.

If you have a retail (aka open market) XT1768 - you can get firmware from here. The one at the bottom dated September 18th is the most recent.
The Amazon one posted by MotoJunkie01 may have differences from the this one (i.e. Amazon apps/branding).

Thanks everyone. Yeah I have the open market version. I'll give these a look.
MotoJunkie01, I have not seen these commands before, which would probably explain why I broke it. Thanks I'll try and implement them.
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
And your last command this:
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

This is probably a dumb question. How do I flash it with fastboot? I've only installed a ROM from TWRP, so not sure how to run it from fast boot. do I need to install each partition separately or is there a flash-all file. I notice the flashfile file has a lot of command like arguments in it. Can I use that?
Thanks,

Yes if you flash it with fastboot you do it one image at a time. You can also install RSD Lite on a Windows computer and it will do it all for you by selecting either the flashfile.xml or the service file. XML.
UPDATE:
Thanks for the assistance. I know it's been a while, but I've been busy the past few months.
I found a guide that had all the pieces I was looking for. As far as I can tell it went well, though it doesn't seem to be completely back to normal. I was able to unmount the recovery partition, but it was not re-mounted/installed.
I plan to unlock and install TWRP as the recovery. I may also try and root the phone, but keep the factory OS. But we'll see...

Trouble installing PE ROM

Sorry if this is not the place to ask this, but PE only has a Telegram chat, which is like watching slot machine wheels spin.
I have a Pixel 2 XL. I'm able to load either the PE recovery image or TWRP. But I cannot either sideload or ADB push the image to the phone.
TWRP shows the disk size as 0, which may be the problem. However I can see legible file names in TWRP's file manager.
I have a USB B2C and C2C cable. Ive tried them both, in different ports.
Can anyone suggest my next troubleshooting steps? Also, It doesn't have to the the PE image I use. It can be any that will provide Android security updates.
Greatly appreciated.
So in a nutshell, I can get to the point of installing two different recovery ROMs, but can't get main image onto the phone. I did wipe it already, following the PE instructions for their ROM.
thanks
I don't know PE specifically, but just assume you are right that it comes as a recovery flashable zip (the other way would be fastboot flashable images):
What happens when you try sideload? It should work...
Another way that should work, is to connect a USB drive to the phone.
You may need to format data, if the current encryption is of a different kind from what the new rom uses.
(oh, I forgot to warn that formatting data deletes all your files, so you need to back them up in advance - but you probably know that)
Sorry for not seeing your generous response. When I try to sideload, all the steps complete until the actual sideload. The phone acknowledges the sideload initiation and says: Supported API:3, Finding update package..., Installing Update... and stays there forever, showing no progress of the update. The command prompt on the computer shows a flashing cursor under the adb sideload command. I can try a USB stick though. I have the PE recoverer on it now. So I guess after attaching a USB stick with an adapter, I'll try Advanced>Mount/unmount system and see if it finds the drive.
Thanks and I'll let you know how it goes.
So the USB install worked, but I still had to format data, which I couldn't do from the recovery interface. I was able to do it with fastboot from the pc though
fastboot format userdata
Then I reinstalled the zip image from the USB stick, and we're good.
Thanks for your help.

Xiaomi Mi 10T keeps booting into fastboot

Hello guys, I recently formatted data on my phone to fix a bootloop I had. After fixing everything, SIM card and wifi was not working, I downloaded the Official Stock ROM of my phone and flashed bluetooth, modem, dsp and dtbo. The original plan was to run "flash_all_except_storage.bat" but that kept throwing errors. After I flashed those things I booted successfully and unlocked my phone. Problem is Wifi still doesn't work. So once again got into fastboot, tried running "flash_all_except_storage.bat", once again it threw an error, so I restarted my phone and ever since I can't boot into system. Whenever I restart it goes straight into fastboot, Power off and on again goes to fastboot, I can boot into TWRP, rebooting from there still goes into fastboot mode. I fix a problem and 2 more take it's place, I really need your help here.
Thanks a lot !
Edit:
Fix Attempt 1 (FAILED): I tried formating data through TWRP as I read online, it did not work
Attempt 2 (FAILED): Used
Code:
fastboot continue
and got this error:
Code:
Resuming boot FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load image from partition: No Media')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Attempt 3 (HALF FIX): After some digging I realized after a failed attempt to run "flash_all_except_storage.bat", the boot was erased. I tried flashing only the boot.img and the phone booted up with the wifi working as well. Problem is after a reboot I go back into fastboot and I have to flash boot.img again to boot into system.

I don't believe so. The problem I originally had was that after a restart the phone was booting into fastboot. But if I didn't restart the phone was working fine, cellular, wifi google services everything. So in order to fix that I flashed the full stock rom and that's how I ended up in the restart loop in the first place.

There is no volume buttons problem?
If no maybe you should reflash whole phone, fastboot, recovery, all, using edl ig.... I don't have this phone or any Snapdragon phone, so I don't really know....
Yeah I did, I used the flash_all.bat that comes with the ROM file and pretty much replaced everything. I tried to run it a couple of times and it failed mostly but I was able to run it twice I think (without changing anything, just running it again and again at some point it worked)

So then why your phone goes to fastboot?
I really don't know, after running flash_all the second time now my phone is stuck in a restart loop. Shows the MI logo and restarts. I can manually boot to recovery or fastboot but if I leave it on it's own it keeps turning on and off

So where u downloaded the fastboot rom, there is a recovery rom too :
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
Be sure u download the recovery rom not fastboot.
Btw use your miui version u had
Tho I'm not 100% sure if you flashed the fastboot rom correctly, did u :
1. Open MiFlashTool : download the tool from here if you don't have it ---> https://xiaomiflashtool.com/
2. Select your rom ( make sure your path to the rom isn't long and the folder/folders don't have long names )
3. Connect your phone
4. Click Refresh ( to make your device appear)
5. And click flash
I didn't do it with MiFlashTool because it kept throwing errors at me whenever I launched it so I tried the flash_all.bat batch file that runs cmd commands and flashes everything. the ROM I installed was the fastboot version. The official website on the recovery ROM stated that "This page shows a single update only" so I assumed it's just an update and not the full ROM. I was also told I should use the fastboot variant in the above mentioned thread

Ok so to fix the error : go to miflashtool folder and create a new folder called : log
Fixed the start up error, I get the screen that says "Please install driver", I press Install and I get this:
https://prnt.sc/I53g6bs_8i5w
Pressing ok gets me back to the "Please install driver" screen
Well I just closed the Install driver window and flashed as is, I got this:
https://prnt.sc/Bk2eaj9w5Lq7 so presumably it failed but my devices rebooted and is now on system set up
Edit:
3 reboots later and phone still boots fine to system

flashing miui_APOLLOEEAGlobal_V12.5.4.0.RJDEUXM_451a2324af_11.0.zip from stock recovery is good idea, you can do this from MicroSD card to circumvent any usb issues you are obviously facing on fastboot.

So it worked?
This "error" isn't an "error" so don't worry about it

This error is normal since you are not re-locking the bootloader.
If some functions are inoperative.
Try to flash the same rom (fastboot) that you had when you bought the phone, probably an A11.
Use clean all(flash_all.bat).
