[Moto X Q&A] wisenick:
First: I'm not blaming anyone associated with the sunshine unlock method. This is definitely my fault.

I unlocked rooted my phone and stayed on 4.4.2 and just today I used the sunshine app to unlock my boot loader. I then flashed twrp recovery using the twrp app in the play store. Then I did a backup and then I tried to update the kernel and radio using this utility http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/development/rom-stock-rooted-vzw-212-55-26-t2829123

It said that it worked but when I tried to boot up again it started a boot loop.

I tried manually flashing the 4.2.2 kernels again but that didn't work. Tried manually flashing the 4.4.4 ROM, didn't work. Tried flashing the 4.2.2 ROM, didn't work. Tried flashing 4.2.2 with rsd and it failed.

Now it's stuck in fastboot and won't boot into recovery or even try to boot, even if I try rebooting with adb.

I would love to keep root, but if I have to I'll do the root again if possible.

**EDIT**

If you have done the same bone-head move I made, then follow these simple steps.

1. Use RSD lite to update to 4.4.4

2. Follow this guide to then root your device once you have updated to 4.4.4

This works because your bootloader is unlocked, thanks to sunshine.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
You should have never attempted to downgrade...

Try using fastboot & mfastboot.

Unplug, then turn off the phone. Boot it into bootloader mode. Once in BL, plug usb into PC.

You must have at least minimal adb/fastboot, AND the mfastboot binary (search it).

Unzip the 4.4.4 SBF into the SAME FOLDER that both fastboot and mfastboot are in.

Open a command prompt, browse to the folder containing the unzipped files, fastboot, and mfastboot. Now execute the following commands in this exact order:

fastboot flash bootloader motoboot.img

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot reboot-bootloader

[the device will reboot into the bootloader] ignore the fact that some commands are being run twice...

fastboot flash bootloader motoboot.img

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot flash system system.img [make absolutely sure to use the Mfastboot binary for flashing system.img]

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase customize

fastboot erase clogo

fastboot reboot

If you see an error about variable not supported, ignore it. If you get a different error, post back with a screenshot.

Does it boot into android now? You should be 100% stock, unlocked. Ready to flash TWRP and root.
[Moto X Q&A] aviwdoowks:
RSD 422 means a downgrade. What did it "say"?

Downgrading is the no no.

[Moto X Q&A] wisenick:
Thank you, however when I try the first command "fastboot flash boot loader moto boot.img" it says "(bootloader) Variable not supported! Then says (bootloader) Permission denied

But I followed the rest of the directions and it still will only boot into fastboot.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Did you really put spaces in between boot and loader? And Moto and boot?
[Moto X Q&A] wisenick:
No sorry, auto correct on the wife's phone.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
A "Permission denied" error sounds strange to me....don't recall having seen that one before.

Though I'm rather certain that your downgrade attempt (big no-no) is the culprit, I'm curious if [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] might have any suggestions...
[Moto X Q&A] jcase:
1) I don't think you are bricked, this should be fixable. This is due to you flashing older firmware to a device that has been updated, nothing to do with sunshine.

2) your title makes it sound like sunshine to blame, this is really bad for me. SunShine CANT brick motorola (nor htc) phones. We simply have too many safety checks, and verification. If you were able to flash and boot TWRP (which you were because you took a backup) then it can't be sunshine. It would be great if you changed the title to be more accurate.

Having said that, I have no problem helping you recover your phone, it certainly isn't bricked

I'm out from 10amPST to 2pmPST tomorrow, but please email me jcase AT cunninglogic DOT com, and I will have you up on your feet in minutes. Probably setup teamviewer and I will just remote in and do my best.
[Moto X Q&A] piccit:
I don't have the sbf files handy right now, so I can't check -- are you sure the order is bootloader then gpt? I thought it was the other way around. A quick check of the xml file in the sbf will give the correct order.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
That is what I first thought when I read the subject...
[MENTION=2355270]wisenick[/MENTION], you even mention in your OP you don't blame Sunshine, so why mention it in the subject?

Can you change the subject of this thread to "Attempted to Downgrade and now bricked" or "Attempted to downgrade and now phone wont boot"? That would be more accurate.
[Moto X Q&A] wisenick:
Just checked the XML and it is gpt then bootloader. I'll see if that fixes things.
[Moto X Q&A] Verttex:
Try flashing an alternate bootloader like TWRP or CWN with mfastboot. My recovery wasn't working for awhile and all I had to do was reflash it.
[Moto X Q&A] wisenick:
Thank you but I've tried that. It says that it flashed but when I try to boot into recovery it simply boots into fastboot
[Moto X Q&A] wisenick:
Double checked the order and according to the xml , its gpt first. However I still get an error when I try to flash motoboot
[Moto X Q&A] wisenick:
Well I couldn't handle not having a phone much longer so I used rsd to go to 4.4.4, have I lost root?
[Moto X Q&A] Verttex:
If Sunshine unlocked your bootloader, you should be able to do whatever.
[Moto X Q&A] jcase:
Yes you lost root! but

If you used sunshine, you turned your consumer phone into a developer phone, meaning you will always be able to root it trivially and properly.
[Moto X Q&A] cpetersen2791:
True. if your back in android w/o root

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVanB:
I recently got a s3 and it came with 4.4.2 OTA and I rooted and installed TWRP however when I go to flash a rom specifically CM 11. I get a Assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader" error. I've looked around for solutions and come to find that you need MD8 bootloader to flash. I ran through the checks to see my bootloader and version and it was in fact MD8. So now i turn here to ask. Should I flash the whole kitkat update again to make sure I have MD8. I just recently got cm 10 on the s3 fine so I'm anxious to get cm 11. Please help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
so what company is your s3 with Sprint/Boost/Virgin? and you mean ND8?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVanB:
Yes I ment nd8 and it's sprint
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
well first i would install Philz recovery cause most people here would say that it works best on ND8, and if you still can't flash CM11 with Philz i would say check to see if the MD5 sum matches whats on the Download page...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVanB:
Would I be able to flash this recovery on top of TWRP or do I need to do something to remove TWRP before hand?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
well you can either Odin Philz.tar which will replace TWRP or you can flash the Philz.zip in TWRP and replace it that way
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVanB:
Ok done I've got philz recovery but still getting the same error for cm updates
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
when you get to the screen that says "

no

yes

no

" do you see the MD5 sum that it is generating? if you do then check it with the one posted on the download page of the exact CM11 that you downloaded to see if it matches
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVanB:
I will check when I get home been a busy week
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVanB:
Eureka I did check from the one i had downloaded and the one on cm's website and it appears they don't have the same number i will download a new one off cm and give you an update
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVanB:
I was wrong it is the same md5sum but it is a snapshot not sure if you can flash those as you would with a stable release. Upon having 10.2 cm (being its the only one I can flash at the moment) i tried to flash an update though cm and this also failed so I'm not sure where to go from here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Nightlys is all I got to say when on other devices the Nightlys all ways worked :) but I don't know about the ones for the D2LTE since I personally haven't tried it :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVanB:
I will try a nightlies when I get home but I wonder if I need to reflash the bootloader
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spark91:
CM10.1 and newer are not compatible with ICS bootloaders, Have you checked your firmware to see what it actually is? sometimes people mistaken baseband as their actual firmware when it isn't.

Use Terminal Emulator ( If Rooted ) to find out what your bootloader is.

su
getprop ro.bootloader

Latest KK bootloader for sprint should be L710VPUDND8 if it's not that, look up your phone model and update it to the correct one and try flashing again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVanB:
I was on kitkat before I flashed cm10.0.0 and my baseline version is L710VPUDND8
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spark91:
And your Device Model?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVanB:
Sprint*SPH-L710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVanB:
The nightlies also did not work same error as last time
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davidlmcshane:
Dunno. I've been running CM11 D2LTE nightlies for months. I'm still on L710VPBMD4 loader with the old MK3.

Maybe it sounds stupid, but try to completely revert to stock first, then re-root and flash the d2LTE M10 zip in Philz. Just a thot, yo.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spark91:
you might need to remove the asserts which is quite dangerous if you don't know what you're doing,

as always google and youtube is there, just search for remove asserts ro.bootloader or status 7 error.

removing them wont have the ROMs updater-script look for specific devices and bootloader.

and it should install without failure if you flash the right ROM to the right device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVanB:
Sounds like a plan
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVanB:
MD4? And I might. Not sure if I should try your solution first or second
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
you can't Odin a stock rom other than ND8 or NDC and you can't flash a lower bootloader or modem cause you'll brick your phone so if you decide to Odin back to stock you must Odin ND8 or NDC only
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVanB:
Would it be safe to flash a d2lte. From what i hear all of the s3 devices regradless of carrier have been merged to one name - d2lte
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
as long as the D2LTE zip that you want to flash has the D2SPR "inside" it should be just fine....mind you that the D2LTE doesn't actually mean all of them since the Straight talk and a couple other carrier specific US S3's aren't in the D2LTE mostly cause none of the developers have the info for it or the device it self......but the D2SPR should be "inside" the D2LTE
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVanB:
Thanks im gonna give that a go right now ill give an update once i do so
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVanB:
I've done it completely wiping the phone and flashing the d2lte cm11 file worked perfectly

How would I go about fully restoring my Kindle to 10.2.3 for root and 2nd bootloader. Currently I have TWRP in a soft brick. I can access recovery but mounting isn't working so I assume I will have to fix this from my pc. There are many guides out there to do this but at this day many of the files have been removed. Can someone point me in the right direction and help me get my Kindle working again. A little background info: I rooted 10.5.0 and attempted to install a 2nd bootloader. This partially worked but got to the point of having TWRP installed and downloaded cm 11 with gapps flashed it and nothing but a bootloop of cyanogenmod logo. Thanks in advance

Hello,

I am on Ricks Rom V11 4.4.2 and am looking to upgrade to the latest version Rick's ROM V16 NI2 along with 4.4.4. I believe I have to update to 4.4.3 first as it states: Download Build 16 here.

DO NOT flash

this if you are not on the NI2 Firmware. What would be my best route to get to 4.4.3 and then to 4.4.4? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
Do just as my instructions say.. Flash V16 and then reboot in download mode and flash the NI2 firmware with Odin. Make sure you use the files in my post.It would also be a good idea to reset the phone in settings/backup and reset and then factory reset and advanced wipe in Safestrap before flashing V16. There is no need to flash the full tar with the firmware file.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berdistheword:
You mean V15? The warning states DO NOT flash this if you are not on the NI2 Firmware. So how do I flash v16 without being on the Nl2? Sorry for the confusion and thanks for responding so quickly.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
Just do as I say and you will be fine. If it makes you feel better flash the NI2 firmware first and then the ROM. You can flash the ROM first because as soon as you reboot and go to download mode you will be flashing the NI2 firmware with Odin. Trust me, I did this many times on several phones.;)
[Moto 360] kramdens:
It's odd, but I've seen many unboxings, and most of the time on the boot up, the Motorolla M has clock gears in the M.. now I'm starting to

notice a different boot animation.. I've only seen it once on youtube and then the watch I own myself. Instead of the clock gears, it's an M in the middle with a white light circling the minute markers.. what's the difference? Why are there 2 different boot screens?

thanks, hope this hasn't been mentioned
[Moto 360] notsointeresting:
It's due to the firmware it's running at the time. Most unboxings are showing it turn on for the very first time and the original firmware (4.4W ) had the gear boot animation. But immediately upon turning it on the device prompts you to charge the battery and update. The update puts you on 4.4W.1 which has the new boot animation. So essentially most people only ever see the old boot animation once
[Moto 360] neilrl79:
I wish they wouldn't have changed it. The gears are way cooler than the clock boot ani.
[Moto 360] contentryder:
I think the boot animation with the gears in the M is for initial start-up. I had 4.4W.1 already pre-installed when I got my M360. That boot animation only showed once.
[Moto 360] v3ngence:
Just remember it, and when the developers start to take off let them know the boot animation on 4.4W was pretty sick, they might be able to extract it for a custom rom :D

I think it would not be possible to change it at recovery mode. Rather you can download some suitable recovery image file and install it through Mobile uncle tools apk. If you don't have any other options to flash.

It seems that sdcard is unavailable inside CWM , I even tried mounting it but no joy. It is there when in JB, I can install apps, move files etc. but CWM doesn't seem to believe it's there. Has anyone else seen this issue?

Doh!!! When CWM refers to 'sdcard' they really do mean an external sdhc card, not the built in memory (as I'm used to it being referred to on my Xperia)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] vipsy6:
Hmm CWM has the other higher versions above 6 as well. But depends on your phone pls check if some suitable cwm is available. I am using CWM on my Neo V. But it has only single data partition of 420 MB so it takes external SD as sdcard. Back up are working fine. Restore too
