pls help in data recovery

Finally rooted my moto g dual sim after few hiccups, i second that for a novice, few details should be mentioned upfront like the above comment: "you should have SU zip ready on internal BEFORE you flash cwm though."

But finally got it.

Now the problem is, i have lost all the phone data. Its just like factory device now, completely wiped. I was aware something like this would happen after flashing. So, as suggested in some post i took backup:

1. Backup of all apps, apk (system+user) using ES file mgr. I copied that to my laptop also.

2. Backup of user data using Helium (user apps only, that was the only option coming). But here i forgot to copy this to my laptop :(

Now, I can see i can reinstall each app backuped in point 1. Is there any one click option to reinstall all my apps in one go?

But what about point 2? How can I restore all my data ?

I don't care about my media files, but I have lost some really important data in few of the apps, some really important Contacts, SMS, evernote notes etc etc.

Pls suggest how to go for data recovery. :crying:

P.S: A req to OP, pls add link to any thread explaining the data backup process before going for flashing. This will help novice like me.
[Moto G General] pfufle:
You will not be able to restore data because the data partition is wiped, not formated...To install all apps in one go, copy the apks to your PC in C:\appdirectory and use adb to install all your apps using the following code:

adb install c:\appdirectory\*.apk
[Moto G General] pr.itdude:
Even i think so now....followed this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2143188

spent over half a day, somehow managed to complete the process, tried with different recovery softwares but still could not recover anything. :(

Contacts, SMS and some memorable pics are what I was interested to recover.

OTA Updates

Thank you bud, I find this very useful but please confirm me whether I can get OTA updates from Motorola after rooting my Moto G?

and how about Xposed Modules for Moto G, will it cause any effects to the system files so that will prevent from OTA updates?

Please reply me asap, I badly need to root my phone but worried about OTA updates. Thanks!

Hey what about the latest lollipop build for Motorola?? Has anyone flashed custom recovery TWRP or CWM on it??

The last time I tried.. Device went into bootloop.
[Moto G General] reversegear:
Flashing custom recovery does not result in bootloop. only thing is you cannot enter into recovert if its not compatible

flashing custom kernel may result in bootloop
[Moto G General] sushidish:
Can please suggest a method to ROOT and flash TWRP on my Moto G XT1033 (Dual Sim).:):):):):)
[Moto G General] reversegear:
to do this bootloader must be unlocked if not please try this after unlocking (bootloader unlocking results in wiping of everything always have a backup)

here is the steps to install TWRP and root your ROM.

1. Make a backup

2. Download and install TWRP from here http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/xt1032/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-xt1032.img

3. Download and install SuperSU from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

you are rooted along with TWRP custom recovery
[Moto G General] sushidish:
Sir, That fine as i have he bootloader unlocked. Also i have downloaded all the supporting files.

i just need the commands to execute the same.

What i followed back is :

1. fastboot flash recovery twrp-xxx.img [Output was like "Partition Mismatch" : I ignored it]

2. Booted into the TWRP and flashed the SuperSU.

3. On normal bootup once i open any root app, it says root not stable. Please update the root.

Hope i have followed the correct steps!!

PS : I have Stock Lollipop Rom on My Moto G XT1033 Dual Sim.
[Moto G General] reversegear:
what is your SuperSU version..?

screen shots of error if possible
[Moto G General] sushidish:
I think it was SuperSu v2.02.

I dont remember what exactly went wrong but somehow the phone got stuck at the "Bootloader Unlocked Warning Screen".

Post this after so many tries i finally gave up and reflashed stock 4.4.4 firmware onto it. Somehow i was able to get the things on right path and the phone started normally. But sad thing, I was on kitkat :crying::crying:
[Moto G General] reversegear:
This is the reason i always suggest new comers to read read and read.

infact SuperSU V2.02 wont support Lollipop

if you would have falshed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 (which i gave earlier) your problem is solved long back.

lesson learned : stop jumping into conclusion. read carefully before doing something new

Cant get a working cwm recovery!

Thanks a lot for the very detailed post! However after I tried this on my moto g (xt1033), I was not able to get past the step of flashing the cwm image. I did everything, flashed the image and then when I reboot (into recovery) i don't get the cwm boot menu. All i get is a blank screen with some weird patterns. I cant even access the default boot menu (which I could till yesterday before flashing!). Could you please tell me where I went wrong? What should I do now?

This is a nice tutorial indeed. I followed up till getting into recovery mode i.e. till the end of what you had written as 'real procedure'. However, I could not proceed with the third step, Flashing Super SU as I had not copied that file into the internal memory of my device. What do I do now (Sorry I am a complete novice!)?

I am unable to follow this "PROCEDURE => IN CWM =>INSTALL FROM SD CARD => CHOOSE SUPER SU => RESTART "

[Moto G General] Jimibour:
If you can't flash recovery or root.... It might it help you

That's a trick that i found and i want to share, because i think that lot of users can't root or move to a custom rom. I think is that we try to unlock bootloader on 4.4.4 and hits an error back. (Tell me if there is a solution for this)

Thats My Trick​

1) First of ALL Use Iroot , kingroot (previously vroot) to root the phone

2) instal Flashify (for root users) from market

Go to Recovery image -> Download twrp -> Moto g 2013 -> 2.8.6.0

Flash it

!!!!! You have got recovery!!!!!

---->>> Root SuperSu

3)Go to kingroot Setings-> unroot

4)Uninstall kinguser (thanks to it)

5)copy root to sdcard Example : chainfire SuperSU zip

6)Boot into bootloader-> Recovery

flash root via twrp or

flash any rom(not tested)

I wish i help some with that trick... And sory for my bad english :D

I think the stock recovery is replacing the custom recovery, after every time I restart the phone from CVM. I don't know why is that happening. I followed all the procedures as you had mentioned. I even tried sideloading the SuperSU file, but when I boot the phone and open the super su app, I get the following message- "There is no SU binary installed...."

Thanks a lot for the tutorial. I was confused after seeing so many tutorial videos and was worried about which one would work for the Indian dual sim edition.

I also installed Xposed and Gravitybox KK. Some tweaks are working like hide navigation bar, but some are not like status bar battery percent text etc. Any idea what could've gone wrong ?

Also, is there a way to hide the unlocked bootloader logo ?

Anyway, thanks again for the detailed guide.

Then how would I backup my apps and other things if its not rooted.
[Moto G General] reversegear:
Use helium
[Moto G General] forgotter:
To backup your apps you can use ES file manager or simply search the play store for app backup. Since you are not rooted, you'll be able to backup only your app and not your app data. Also after backing up your app copy them to your PC ( just for safety and future).
[Moto G General] nworoid:
Use Titanium Backup for app backup. U can take backup of app data also.
[Moto G General] adizz4:
Tb requires root which he doesn't have yet.

So as others said you can do nothing about app data.

No there's an atop called helium which takes backup of app data..

Can anyone confirm about MoDaco's other method (one without recovery image flashing) working or not with Indian version XT1033? (Flipkart)
[Moto G General] reversegear:
That is a old method..

Why someone will try when easiest method is mentioned in OP
[Moto G General] hakneo:
Hmmm.. Thanks for letting me know that it is old. However, I think that old method was much easier. You only have to run one file from system. No commands and nothing. No offence. Just my 2 cents.
[Moto G General] reversegear:
If you feel old method is easy you can follow that....(make sure u know what you are doing)

The standard(safest also) method of rooting any android in short is

1. Install custom recovery

2. Flash super su

If this is not possible then developers come up with workaround that is what modaco method is... During initial days when no custom recovery available modaco method was the workaround

Happy flashing;)
[Moto G General] hakneo:
Thanks.

Now unlocked and rooted the Moto G - verified. However, I am facing some issues.

1. With every reboot I am getting "Android is upgrading" and it shows This app of that total. Like A of B is updating. This is happening with every reboot. First it was around 140 apps. Now it is down to 14 and fixed on 14.

2. I am not able to install game GOF2 HD. Previously it was running fine.

3. I thought resetting the device will be necessary. When I tried to reset, the device loops at boot-up screen. Keeps switching between CWM and stock recovery and keep dying. If I power down and start then its fine but not resetted.

Three problems. Any solutions?

EDIT: New Issue - Can't get back into recovery after failed reset. It keeps looping forever. Reflashed the recovery image and still can't get back in the recovery. Anyway to remove the CWM recovery?

I am waiting for someone to reply my issue in last post. I solved the issue of "App not installed" by removing ODEX. Other two problem still persists.

"Android is upgrading" and broken recovery. Tried everything from clearing dalvik cache to reset.

Let me know regards.
[Moto G General] ViVi93:
I think "android is upgrading" process comes up because android is creating dalvik cache of the apps. So whenever you wipe dalvik cache & reboot the phone the same process begins all over again

just copy paste it dude.

That is the point, I am not refreshing or deleting it. I cleared that once because I thought this problem will go away. But it didn't. If I just do a reboot it shows Android is upgrading. Again do a reboot, same message. Every time I install new app the number increases. Now its stuck on 17.

hello.

i have a moto G dual sim indian version.

i rooted it yesterday, following the method given by this site: androidadevices>motorola>moto g

everything was perfect exept for the last step. after entering the code

superboot-windows.bat

in cmd it indicated i have succeded. but on my phones screen the boot animation appeared and dissapeared in a fraction of a second.

i waited. then my screen turned purple and faded out from the edges to the center.

i waited for about ten minutes and then removed the usb. then i held the power button for about 8 seconds and then the phone booted up.. but it took longer than usual. it turned out to have super su installed. i even checked with the root checker app which also indicated my phone is rooted.

now whenever i reboot my phone, it still takes as long as the first time it booted after rooting, i noticed these things:

1. the notification saying "clear a notification by swiping"

2 i had even installed lmt. in which i set up the pie controls and checked the box for "start on boot". it did not start on boot.

4.i cant send/ download images in whatsapp. neither can i create a backup of conversations or view the profile pictues.

5.injustice (the game) does not work.

6. tubemate says it cannot access the preferred folder and failed to get permission for eaccess or something like that.

7. i cant recive bluetooth files, it says storage problem

please help me. have i gone wrong in the process of rooting? (Or is it normal? :P )

[and also google play services and motorola contextual services and boot services keet crashing i cleared data under app settings and it stops.]

[Moto G General] zazzy24:
It is not possible to root the device using stock recovery.

If you are worried about the updates, you need not worry coz if you stay with stock rom after rooting you will still be able to see the updates if there are any. And to flash the updates all you need to do is flash the stock recovery the same way that you flash cwm.. And you will be able to flash the update.

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

Ok these problems are abnormal. Which means something went wrong during the rooting. I would suggest backing up your apps and app data in titanium(if its imp to you) and factory resetting. Then try to root by the method in this op.
