I think I bricked my Moto Z XT1650-03 (the UK international unlocked version),
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the official twrp recovery, but made the stupid mistake of cancelling the backup in progress in twrp. Now I am stuck at the warning of the unlocked bootloader. I am able to enter the bootloader and the recovery mode but can't get the device to start. I did a factory reset from twrp, still didn't help.
I think maybe flashing the stock recovery might help. But I haven't found any reliable links to the stock recovery for my particular device.
Any solution to this problem?

Hello, So here https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto%20Z/Stock/XT1650-03/ we are all the Stock Firmware for the Moto Z XT1650-03,You just have to look for the one you wanted, So download it and inside the .zip file'll find the files recovery.img and flash it manually with fastboot command.
but do not know if it will work, I think it is better to flash the entire system directly.
Sorry for my Bad English

Can you please help me with which one of those firmwares I'm supposed to download? All I know is that mine is the UK version according to this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/help/moto-z-griffin-versions-compatibility-t3470885
Thank you in advance.
Put the device in Fastboot mode, and type "fastboot getvar all". then go to "(bootloader) ro.carrier:" and see what is the carrier. after this go to the page to download the stock firmware and search you carrier .

Passing my P3 on to my wife and need to get it back to stock.
Got as far as loading the 3.2 firmware from sammobile using fastboot as Odin won't flash.
It recognises an OTA update but fails to download the update. I actually think that it fails to install but in any event it get stuck.
The kernel is still at 2.6.36.3 and baseband is the P7500 one.
I think that the kernel is located in the boot.img but it doesn't look like I am able to overwrite it with fastboot.
The bootloader seems to be replaced but I still have a unlocked bootloader.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You need to restore the stock recovery as well, ClockworkMod Recovery wont handle OTA updates.
Do fastboot flash recovery [recovery img] to reflash the stock recovery.
To re-lock the bootloader, try fastboot oem lock (not tried).
Note that it appears that even if relocking the bootloader, manufacturers have ways of knowing if the bootloader has been unlocked. However, since the purpose is to give it to someone else with possibly less technical skills (that does not require the feature), a locked bootloader is an added security.

thx pruano, the stock firmware contains a recovery image. This writes ok ... I also tried locking the bootloader - it locks ok but with the same results
It looks like the kernel might be the problem ...

Did you flashed ALL the imgs (boot.img, recovery.img and system.img) from the PDA archive?
You can always erase/format the partitions with fastboot erase/format [boot|recovery|system] before re-flashing the images... (important note: if you erase/format the boot partition, do not leave recovery without flashing a new boot img).
I would also restore the stock modem (you need the one from P7100BUKE2, as P7100BULB4 does not have it) - for this you will need Odin.

Pruano, using fastboot, the erase command seems to work but format does not. Why do you say that I need Odin to flash the modem? I have done this with fastboot previously using "fastboot flash radio modem.img" ...
Edit: Pruano, you put me onto the right track. The modem was the problem. Once I got the original modem from P7100BUKE2 installed it all worked fine - even with unlocked bootloader.
and just for interest i had to use: "fastboot flash modem modem.img"

Yes, unlocked bootloaders do not interfere with OTAs
Regarding the modem, in truth it was a long shot, just a step to restore to pristine state.
The knowledge that the P7500 modem works best with custom ROMs and flashing it as a common procedure is relatively new, no wonder one had to guess that it would interfere with OTAs (as its not obvious, probably the OTA install does some kind of background safety check using the modem firmware as base); good to know for the future.
Hi, could someone write steps to possible return warranty ?
If I unlock bootloader I loose it, and I read when I flash stock ICS rom is impossible check bootloader status, but what with fastboot and recovery ?
How can I make it invissible in service ? Or if I flash stock ICS rom it will remove recovery ? Because I found recovery.img after extract KDZ...

Hi wlado93, yes, it will.
When you flash a rom with kdz the custom recovery is deleted, not problem that way. You can flash your operator's rom, doing that, you also flash its recovery.

Rooting has nothing to do with flashing. Put it in bootloader mode and flash a recovery. Then try doing a factory reset. If that doesn't work, re-flash the ROM.

No offence, but you need to do more research and know how this stuff works before flashing things.
I can't answer your question because I don't know what you are trying to flash. Ask in the thread where you found it. If it's a custom ROM, TWRP Will work. If stock, stock recovery is best.

Right, because the device is rooted. The first section of the routing guide tells you the problem (modified system position) and there are threads here to solve it.

well that's why you need to unlock bootloader first before attempting to root your phone. and know what you are doing (flashing). With all that said if you can still boot to Recovery then flash this Full ROM (save this on an SD card) that should stop the bootloop and have a working ROM

if you can still access bootloader then simply just boot TWRP from it, first download this full rom and save it on your SD card
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087013219
then go to bootloader if you can still access it and boot TWRP
fastboot boot [whatever your twrp name is].img
you can download modified twrp here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=16464
then once inside TWRP just install the FULL ROM that was downloaded and saved in the SD card/

Hi guys!
I was relocking my bootloader on my Huawei P20 Lite and now it isn't booting at all. It goes to the eRecovery screen and that's it.
I tried reverting what I've done, but now the FRP lock is preventing me from executing any fastboot commands from my PC.
Does anyone know what to do?
Why you decided to do that? To avoid initial screen, your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted...
Did you do any kind of modification in the partitions before relock bootloader?
I had done something similar and could not do anything anymore by the frp lock,
I have downloaded the ROM from this link, (make sure this rom is for ure model of phone)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...om-official-emui-8-0-huawei-p20-lite-t3773999
then I used this
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/file-list/DC-unlocker_softwares/DC_Phoenix/DC_Phoenix_v52.rar.html
and I paid 15€ ( to use the dc app ) to flash update.app even though there is frplock they can get around this.
it costs money but that's how my p20 works
I have not found a free way yet
why did you paid for that?
I did it myself, factory reset then I simply flashed the stock system. IMG and did a fastboot relock...
Who did you paid?

@mchtt can you post the instruction on how to flash from the China version to the international version.
I downloaded the system.img file you uploaded but have no idea how to use it - create update.app and drag the system.img file in there?
Thanks ahead of time.
You should not continue of you don't know how to use files, flashing phone is not as easy we think.
First, you be to provide informations, what's your phone ID, your rom version, and what did you do exactly to your phone ?
My system.img was extracted from the stock update.app version P20 Lite ANE-LX1-C432.
U can simply flash it:
Fastboot flash system system.img
But before or after is mandatory to do a factory reset or full wipe.
It will reset your phone to stock and you will be able to re-lock the bootloader with fastboot if it's not done already.

Update on the situation: I sent the device to the atores warranty and they swapped it straight away. Got lucky this time
I recently bought an unlocked Moto G Play 2021 with the intent of learning how to flash custom rom's etc. The steps I've done so far are below.
Went to Motorola's site and got the code to unlock the bootloader
Waited for the "OEM Unlock" button to be available in the Developer Options menu.
Followed the directions Here to try to get an unofficial version of TWRP installed.
when I type fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img Using the vbmeta.img from the link above, I get some kind of anti-rollback error and can't boot to recovery.img
So far, what I've found says I need to be on Android 10 for this to work but I can't find a stock rom of Android 10 for this device. Electimon posts AOSP builds for this phone Here so I assume there's a way to get this to work, I just don't know what it is and I've gone through these threads a few times now and can't piece it together. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Additionally, thanks Electimon for doing those AOSP builds.

Thank you for the response!
I made sure my phone was on wi-fi and checked for updates. I then rebooted to fastboot and flashed recovery to the MotoGuamnaFixed2.img. I still got a blank screen when I tried to reboot to recovery. I then rebooted to fastboot manually and did
fastboot flash recovery_a MotoGuamnaFixed2.img
fastboot flash recovery_b MotoGuamnaFixed2.img
It said ok both times, and when I try to reboot to recovery, I get a blank screen that I can't interact with. Pressing the power and volume buttons does nothing. Rebooting and letting the phone go through the boot process, to include waiting for the warning about the unlocked bootloader to go away results in a blank screen.
I also tried booting to fastboot and selecting "Recovery Mode" from the fastboot menu. Same result. That being said, I followed the instructions in the second link anyway, which are
fastboot -w
fastboot update (filename).zip
Now my phone has a blank screen I cannot interact with, but when I type "adb devices" I see the phone. Typing "adb shell ls -l" shows there is definitely a file structure there.
Just download the rom for the version that your device is unzip it and manual flash each one to the correct spot except recovery flash the twrp and then reboot and let me know look at flash file.xml to see where to flash each IMG and bin to make shur you download your rom and not another one for the same device but different carrier what it sounds like to me is happening is you downloaded the wrong ROM when you tried to do a force update
Send me a screenshot of your about device screen please I might need to make a change to a few things to get it working
I'm stuck in a boot loop right now. WIll the output from fastboot getvar work?

It's an unlocked phone, no carrier, no SIM. I did the factory reset with the Lenovo rescue tool and sent you the screen shot of the device info page.

I don't understand why I can't get twrp to boot I'm not for shut what the problem is if any one has any idea please let me and I will try
Big thanks to svoc for all the phone calls and troubleshooting my device, that is apparently possessed by at least 3 demons and a donkey. There are two links below. The first is the link to the intstructions that worked.
The second is to the compressed file that gave me a degoogled android. It's really, really basic and you'll have to side load the app store of your choice onto the device but it works.
*NOTE* I have not used a sim card or tested the cellular capability. If you do the things below and it doesn't work, reboot to bootloader and flash the radio.img with the one from your stock rom, which can be obtained from lolinet.
Any custom ROMs out there for Moto g play 2021 (guamna)?
Can't find any custom ROMs for this device. I guess it is too early. I'll probably have to get another phone. Can't even find a twrp for it. New to this. Any suggestions?
