Picked up a Moto X 2013 - What rom and recovery is stable? (ISSUES) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I flash a marshmallow rom, everything SEEMS okay but Permissions are not setting correctly. I keep trying to flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 back to do a Lollipop rom and now I can't get into recovery, it says teamwin and reboots. I can't format in any other version of TWRP, it reboots. I don't know what to do. Apps won't install, /data/media never sets correctly I have to manually fix it.
Dalvik Cache reboots TWRP aswell.
It's a XT1058 bootloader unlocked with Sunshine can anyone help me?
TWRP 3.1.1 (unofficial) gives this error "mount -o bind /data/media/0 /sdcard/ process ended with signal: 11" and I really am at a loss.

Bump: I managed to get Lollipop on it but it STILL wont let me uninstall apps.

HDX Thor Bootloader Question

Hi everyone, I just purchased a used thor from ebay and am excited about flashing custom roms for it. It came with TWRP 2.8.6 and HDX nexus (4.0.5) already installed, so a great plus and I was able to flash the newest refresh, Fire Nexus rom, BUT with a slight hiccup as it gave me an error, "E:Error executing updater binary in zip". I followed the advice from a google search result that said to reboot back into recovery after the failed attempt and try again, but without wiping. This time it worked.
My question is, if I have a custom recovery TWRP 2.8.6 and now a custom rom, fire nexus with root, does this mean the bootloader is unlocked? I guess a bit confused. Also, would the TWRP error message be an indication of an outdated TWRP or something else?
At some point I would like to move to to CM 14.1, but realize I would need to update TWRP and have an unlocked bootloader to achieve this. Thanks everyone. I am a complete noob to flashing!
- Current Recovery: TWRP 2.8.6
- Current Rom: kk-fire-nexus-rom-thor-20161017
- Rooted
- Made a backup of HDX Fire Nexus
- SuperSU required a binary update, done automatically by TWRP.
Verify the hash value of the ROM , just to confirm it's not corrupted. If it is fine boot into in twrp under "mount" options de-select system and try reflashing. You may need to reboot after deselecting it.

Thanks for the reply. Rom was ok I think..I checked the zip in es file explorer before flashing and all the directories and files were intact. I checked the mount as you said and the system had previously been deselected. I did read that selecting and then deselecting might work. The next time I flash a rom I will def try this method again.

Flashed TWRP 3.1.1-0 over 3.1.0-0 and it boots but TWRP can not find storage nor OS

Hi, I just lashed TWRP 3.1.1-0 over 3.1.0-0 for i9100 (one version bump) using TWRP itself for the flashing of recovery img file, and afterwards LineageOS booted just fine. But then I downloaded the latest LineageOS (I am running the version before so it is not outdated), and booted into TWRP but there are no filesystems under "Mount" and if I go to "Install" I can not find my usual folders, and if I go to "Reboot" > "System" it says "No OS found, do you want to reboot anyway?", and if I reboot it reboots just fine into LineageOS.
How can I fix this?
BTW: I have read this but it does not help. I can push LineageOS to the / part of the filesystem, but installing it does not work. Probably because TWRP can not find any partitions. Trying to flash back to the previous TWRP does not work because it says it can not find any partitions. I can still boot fine into LineageOS afterwards, just the previous one. So my problem is TWRP is now useless for me for flashing anything
Thanks!
Hi, TWRP 3.1.1-0 does not work for i9100!
It's good that you download LineageOS!
You need to return TWRP 3.1.0-0, install Official TWRP App , follow the application instructions and everything will be fine.
Then install any version of ROM.
Good luck ...

Thanks for your answer. My problem is that LineageOS is not rooted out-of-the-box. To root it one has to flash a ZIP, and I can not flash anything.
Any way around this?
BTW: My the heck do they publish TWRP 3.1.1 for i9100 on their website if it is not supported? It says nothing about that.

Luckily I am a Linux guy, so I found out how to flash stuff anyway. I Opened the Terminal application in LineageOS (must be enabled in "Settings > Developer options"), ran the command "mount" to see which partitions belonged to which /dev/block/{block}
From computer:
Code:
adb shell
Code:
mkdir /efs
mkdir /preload
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /efs
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 /cache
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p10 /data
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /preload
Then I flashed the LineageOS ZIP file and the script found all the partitions correctly and exited with success status. Then reboot to system from TWRP (still says "No OS installed", but it boots). Now running latest LineageOS.
Now let's see if I can use my knowledge to to downgrade TWRP, or at least root it from shell and then install using the TWRP Android app.
Still think it's stupid they put TWRP FOR i9100 on their website if it is not supported. What is that about? Can't find any warning that it doesn't work in their website.

Read my post above first. After successfully managing to install the latest LineageOS, I ran their script for rooting it (had to use my commands above to make it work to mount the partitions), and then used the app you mention, and it worked perfectly. I'm back at TWRP 3.1.0 and it shows all partitions and everything is as before. Thanks
Now to the unrooting (easy now that I can flash from TWRP without mounting manually).
Hi olejonbj,
I've got the same problem like you : Flashed TWRP 3.1.1-0 over 3.1.0-0, then the system boots on lineage perfectly but in recovery, I can't do anything to flash previous TWRP.
My OS isn't rooted : I've install TWRP app but I can't flash TWRP 3.1.0-0 !
I don't really undertand what you do for root with script...
Can you explain me ?
Thanks.
It's OK, I reflash with previous Kernel by following :

[URGENT] Flashing Support Needed

[UPDATE]
Hey,
Just to say, I managed to fix the biggest mess up in technology ive done in a long while (thank God). So everything seems to be working fine now.
Thanks

Hey,
I recently flashed the Pixel Experience Rom, which automatically activated the "pin at boot" function of Android. That was fine until I tried to root my phone, so booting into TWRP I was greeted with a decrypt screen. I typed in my PIN and it failed. I have reboot my device into TWRP about 6 times now from TWRP as this is a known bug to no avail. Then, panicking, I went on boot loader and ran "fastboot wipe **" (The ** being system, boot, recovery, userdata etc etc). By doing this I stupidly deleted my NAND backup. I then reflashed TWRP. TWRP still needed to be decrypted.
I then used "adb push" to transfer the zip file of the ROM to my phone while in TWRP, I then tried flashing it from TWRP but it returned error code 7 and couldnt mount /system /sdcard etc etc as it had been encrypted.
Right now I am trying to flash the stock firmware from fastboot. I have flashed "system.img" and "boot.img." Yet there is no userdata file.
I have rebooted my phone but it takes me straight to recovery, which is still encrypted.
Any help will be massively appreciated.
Thanks
-Rory
Heyyo, just a heads up format data does a reformat on user data partition and disables encryption.
But I believe I have the proper solution to TWRP in my test thread under BETA downloads as Indian EUI ROM has forced encryption where as Chinese ROMs seem to have none which is why switching from Indian EUI ROM to custom ROMs gives decryption errors.

Xposed for Zenfone 4 ZE554KL

Hi,
I'm trying to install Xposed (v90 sdk26 arm64) on a Asus ZE554KL Android 8.0.0.
I performed the bootloader unlocking, and then with "tricks" I installed TWRP (3.1.1-0-Z01K) because it was overwritten by the stock recovery. Now it is working with TWRP and root (with Magisk-v17.1), I also used "no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0".
But when I reboot on the device, I again have Internal Storage (0MB) and the error "Failed to mount '/ data' and Unable to mount storage."
This is the same problem I have before flashing the no-verify "no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0" and "Magisk-v17.1" which I can fix with Wipe / Fortmat Data.
Another strange fact is that whenever you boot the custom Recovery TWRP on the first attempt the screen gets frozen, only when you boot again the TWRP works.
Could someone help me fix it? So I would get to install the Xposed module.

Always booting into TWRP

Hello,
I installed TWRP and rooted my Phone with Magisk afterwards.
Now my phone always boots into TWRP instead of starting my Android.
I already removed Magisk and tried flashing the xiaomi.eu ROM but that doenst help.

I hope I haven't bricked my phone completely and someone can help me

Enter in fastboot mode
Select the phone is bricked
Got it working!
If anyone else has this Problem on his MI 10T, this is what i did:
1. Download the TWRP from here --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...r-mi-10t-mi-10t-pro-redmi-k30s-ultra.4187427/
2. Boot TWRP from Fastboot --> fastboot boot <twrp.img>
3. Use OTG pendrive to install xiaomi.eu ROM (I used Version 12.0.7) - without any wipe.
4. After the installation completed successfully, wipe your cache, data and do a full wipe in stock recovery
5. Reboot your System (optionally install twrp) and happy with your working System :^)
