[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Megadarkwood:
So, I am in the middle of trying to fix my Moto G that is bricked/bootloop.

What happened is that I "accidentally" factory reset my phone using Philz Touch Recovery, after I did that, my phone wouldn't boot. After doing some research on the interwebs I found that since Philz is based of CWM it also deleted the /os folder, so I had to install a custom ROM to fix it. I did install 2 different ROM's twice each (CM11 and Carbon) and still am stuck in a boot loop. (I wiped cache and data .etc before I installed) I have no idea what to do, please help me!

TL;DR: Moto G stuck in Bootloop/bricked
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NWKENT:
First things first..there are many Moto G models..which model do you have.?

And what version OS is your device on.?

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Megadarkwood:
It's on 4.4.2 and I don't know the model number but its the Canadian Rogers Version
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NWKENT:
Try to flash your recovery again, IF you cannot get back into recovery..which ever one you are using, flash again and go into the recovery in order to erase cache/dalvik..if you do erase cache/dalvik and still in a bootloop, then most likely you'll need to flash a new/undefiled OS..

There is a chance that a flash of OS could be done without loosing all your data, but a custom FXZ would be needed..

Go down this list and find your device OS..and download..and flash the new/fresh OS..this list is factory FXZ's which will erase your data..

I personally prefer TWRP recoveries..

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Megadarkwood:
Alright, so since I am a noob let me get this right..

Wipe dalvik cache, done. Still in bootloop.

Now I should flash a new recovery? I am still able to get into my current one.

Sorry for my noob-ness.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NWKENT:
OK..if you erased cache..then that's all you can do with that..

Reflash your recovery..make sure you have a known good recovery for your particular device..if reflash recovery and still a bootloop..then flashing a clean/fresh OS is the only thing that is left..of course you certainly deserve a second opinion..

If you are concerned about loosing all your data..then there is a way to flash a new/clean OS without erase your data..BUT..it takes a special modified FXZ to do so, and get your device back up..

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Megadarkwood:
I am not concerned about any data, just need to get it working. I will flash TWRP as soon as I get back to my computer
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nardow:
Bro, try flashing TWRP, it's easier (my opinion) to use... Do you have the .zip of CM11? If yes, make a Factory Reset and install CM11. If it still in a bootloop, instal the stock firmware.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Megadarkwood:
Alright, how am I supposed to sideload the .img for TWRP?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkiieh:
Just download TWRP and flash using your current recovery.. Also you could try going into advance in TWRP and clicking fix permissions..

If you cannot flash a new Recovery using the recovery already on the device.. Flash with adb.

Download a new recovery using a PC.

Place the .IMG into your fastboot folder.

Rename the recovery 'recovery.img' without quotes.

Boot into bootloader.

On your PC hold shift and right click the folder your fastboot is in and select to start your cmd directory their.

A command window should open and type...

"Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Won't work, says "Waiting for Device"
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Closet Candian:
I will try and make this simple as possible, this process will get your device back to stock if you are able to get into fastboot mode.

- Step 1: Put device into fastboot mode.

- Step 1a: Run ADB and check for devices.

adb devices

- Step 1b: If ADB cannot see the device unplug the USB and plug it back in.

- Step 1c: Run ADB and check for devices again, if device is detected in ADB move to step 3, if not continue on to step 2.

adb devices

- Step 2: If ADB does not detect the device unplug the USB

- Step 2a: Restart the device in fastboot mode

- Step 2b: Plug USB back in

- Step 2c: Run ADB and check for devices, if device is detected in ADB move to step 3.

adb devices

- Step 3: Start the flashing process with ADB using your systems firmware.

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot

- or run the bat file for your firmware.

- Step 3a: If you get errors or hang ups at anytime during the flashing process after recovery.img make more than 1 attempt to run the command in ADB. I have the XT1034 and my sparsechunk2 and 3 along with erase cache and erase userdata likes to hang up and then fail but I am still able to fully restore my Moto G. I hope this helps.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Megadarkwood:
Alright, but do I need a OS file or something in the folder before I do this?

Also, it reconizes the device with "adb devices" but it still says "Waiting for device"
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meekrawb:
Since you are in fastboot mode you should use "fastboot devices".

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meekrawb:
Only thing I can think of is to re-install the drivers or try different USB ports.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eg0097:
First of all run the adb setup file and press (Y) all 3 times.

Next unzip the twrp.zip folder. Then flash the twrp recovery by using the "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" command. Make sure phone is in fastboot mode.

Next boot the phone into the recovery and select advanced. Then click on terminal command and navigate to the /sdcard/ folder. Lastly click "select" on the bottom right corner.

Now download whatever rom and gapps you would like to install on your phone and rename them to something short. Then open a command prompt at the directory where the rom and gapps are. In the command prompt enter these commands "adb push NAMEOFROM.zip /sdcard/" and "adb push NAMEOFGAPPS.zip /sdcard/".

The command prompt will not show change for a few minutes. After you notice the command prompt is ready for the next command it is okay to exit it.

Now just flash the rom and gapps normally and hopefully your phone will be okay. :)

**BTW the adb setup program makes adb and fastboot accessible from any directory even without the actual adb and fastboot files.

Bro, Carbon ROM is having issues with the boot time. It cant take 5-10 min to boot, so, if you hasn't maked a clean install of CM11, do a Clean Install (wipe cache, system, data, dalvik) of CM11.

Since you dont have a data plan you should flash the us retail gsm.

I had a Nexus 5 but had to return it because I could never hold or keep an LTE signal while my other phones all had no problem holding two bars of ATT LTE. Has anyone had LTE reception issues like I experienced with the Nexus 5 but on their HTC One GPE?

Lots of people have reported this as well, and yes, I do have issues like yours
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giper54:
Are you having reception issues with the M8 GPE or Nexus 5 on AT&T?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir-Fix-a-Lot:
I have an unlocked T-Mo M8 on AT&T

I realize I am missing some bands that I need for AT&T, so i've tried the GPE conversion, and tried loading an AT&T RUU which wouldnt even launch. I've tried T-Mo, AT&T, and GPE radios trying to fix it, or add the missing bands, but I still have issues. Toggling data or switching from LTE to 3g and back will restore LTE.

I've read and read and read, and all I see is issues with reception and LTE no matter what model it is. I'm at a loss as to what is going on. I haven't tried going back to Sense, I use SlimKat.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giper54:
I have had an AT&T model on AT&T and reception has been good for me. I returned twos deals because of build issues so I have been thinking about getting a GPE instead. Shockingly the S5 I have has great reception. Better than my 5s. I just get worried that buying a GPE model will have some missing bands or never receive radio updates from AT&T.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir-Fix-a-Lot:
The GPE is a full world phone, it has LTE700 (B17), LTE850 (B5), LTE1700/2100 (B4), LTE1800 (B3), LTE2600 (B7), LTE1900 (B2)

More info here:

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=5985&c=htc_one_m8_2014_lte-a_google_play_edition_htc_m8

The GPE will receive it's updates straight from Google, using the GPE radio, but you can always S-Off and try the other ones. But like I said before, I've seen plenty of people who complain of the same issue regardless of model and what it's running. Really hope someone, or HTC, or Google can figure it out. Sometimes I'll drop all the way down to G, or Edge, and toggling it will bring LTE back, and I can't find ANYTHING to help me out short of trying different radios.

Beautiful reception using the developer edition on AT&T.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giper54:
I found a nice used GPE on swappa but I won't be able to return if their are reception issues. I am going to go through Amazon $20 cheaper than AT&T and free returns.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir-Fix-a-Lot:
Really wish I could say the same. WiFi is janky as well, so I'm just gonna relate these issues to AOSP, and I'm missing bands. I'll try going back to Sense, or maybe the GPE conversion again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattMJB0188:
Nope. No problems at all. And I am very picky about reception on cell phones lol. I find the developer edition (stock) works amazingly well on AT&T.

Doesn't the GPE support all AT&T and T-Mobile's frequencies?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir-Fix-a-Lot:
Yes, the GPE has all the bands it needs for both carriers, only the T-Mo model is missing some.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattMJB0188:
If the phone has all the bands, then something else may be causing the OP's signal to be flaky. The only T-Mobile bands that is missing would be UMTS Band 4 (AWS HSPA). They are doing away with it anyway.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir-Fix-a-Lot:
This is my first HTC since the Nexus One, I'm used to Samsung. Do you know if there is a dialer code like a Samsung has to check the bands I have enabled or not enabled? Or any other way to check?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattMJB0188:
The GPE supports LTE bands 4 & 17, so it is fully compatible with both AT&T and T-Mobile LTE.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir-Fix-a-Lot:

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
My Xperia Z1 Compact just suffered the same fate as my Xperia Z1 a few weeks back (I probably shouldn't be buying smartphones hehe), that is, I dropped it from a relatively low height (though in the case of the Z1 I, and several others, may have slightly danced on it as well) and put a crack in the screen. After this drop the touch layer isn't working as it should, it only registers touches on the left side of the phone, and it only does that sometimes. Looking at other phones I've cracked the screens of in the past, these two are the only ones where I've had this problem with the touchscreen post-incident, the others, no matter how much I'd disintegrate the screens, touch would always still work. As this is the second Sony phone I've had recently that behaves like this after cracking the screen I'm beginning to think that Sony designs their phones in a way that makes this outcome more likely.

So my question is this: have people around here noticed similar behaviour in their Sony phones when the screen was cracked?
