Need some help, I'm stuck at warning bootloader unlocked screen. 30min, I'm guessing it's stuck?

1. Unlocked bootloader via the guide here

2. fastboot flash boot xt1064_lollipop_boot.img

3. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

4. arrowed down to reboot to recovery and it just sits at bootloader unlocked screen

Am I missing something? Thanks
[G 2014 Android Development] NWKENT:
Make sure you are flashing a known good "Lollipop" boot and "recovery.img" (TWRP)..also..if you can get into TWRP, maybe do a cache erase and try to reboot..

Also..take a look at this (post # 25) >> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=56960804

nevermind: after a few days of testing this boot.img seems to give xt1068 users drawbacks such as longer boot times or possible bootloops. while i was trying to set up again everything properly, i lost writing access to my internal sdcard. is there a possibility to add root to the xt1068's boot.img? if you need anything for this, just let me know. i would even try it myself if you give me instructions. thanks in advance

EDIT: haha first of all i need the boot.img, i forgot that we just got a flashable *.zip that contains the lollipop update for xt1068 so there is no boot.img, damn it :D

superSU 2.27 beta doesn't work on a clean install either -> bootloop

maybe the next versions will work
[G 2014 Android Development] fathergweedo:
I would like to CWM/TWRP backup the entire phone @ 5.0 prior to flashing *anything.*. Normally I can boot from a custom recovery via "fastboot boot recovery.img," (as I did with 4.4.4) to test (and nandroid) prior to actually flashing the phone. This method will not work on 5.0 using either CWM_Touch_Titan_v2.img, or TWRP_2.8.0.1_Titan_v2.img. These both work perfectly on 4.4.4.

Apparently here is something with the new 5.0 bootloader (or maybe the boot.img?) that is preventing this command from working (as was the case when Nexu 4 got 4.3 last year). I'm thinking there must be a kernel commandline to prefix the "fastboot boot command" as described in that thread. I would really like to save the 5.0 boot.img and recovery.img so one can revert to stock without reflashing 4.4.4, etc.

Anyone have input/ideas what prefix (or other work around) is needed to allow this command to work on 5.0?

Ok fellow flashers I'm in need of some assistance. Followed the OP's directions to root. All flashes went good, rebooted, & installed root apps. I rebooted once again a few mins later & now its stuck at the bootloader unlocked warning screen, has been for about 2 hours now. I need to know what direction to take now short of possibly downgrading to KK(if possible at this point). I can get into fastboot & TW's recovery. I even flashed the stock boot img. Any advise would be greatly appreciated, you just dont know how much:D

I'm in the same boat. I rooted just fine using this method earlier today but when I updated to the latest SuperSU it stuck at "Warning Bootloader Unlocked".

Hey, I updated my SU binary with the SuperSU 2.35 update on the Play Store via Normal mode. When I did, I hadn't restarted because I was busy using my phone. When I woke up today; I had to restart as my phone screen was black for some reason. When I rebooted, I got stuck in a boot-loop for the Motorola logo(I flashed the logo.bin to remove boot-loader unlocked logo). I tried to flash the SuperSU v2.16 update over the 2.35 binary. My phone's still turning on so I'm not sure as of yet. I don't think it's in a boot-loop as their hasn't been repeated vibrations. I think I'll wait this out and if it works; hooray.

In case it doesn't. Do you think a TWRP backup will work? I made one a couple of days ago but I'm not sure. Also do you think flashing stock boot.img will work either?

I had set SELinux to Permissive before so Viper4Android would work and I have a feeling that's causing it. I don't know of a way to turn set it to Enforced via fastboot or ADB.

EDIT: Everything is fine; reflashed 4.4.4 firmware and upgraded to L via stock recovery.

I would assume you unroot via the SuperSu app then flash the oringinal boot.img with fastboot. I would wait for a 5.0.1 root solution or a custom ROM. I hope someone would try using the SuperSu app on an unlocked bootloader 5.0.1 and check if it works though.

[G 2014 Android Development] Igor.L:
That's normal to happen. You can get from 1 to many bootloops once you install supersu binary, it's very random. Sometimes you'll boot on first attempt, some you'll boot only on the 5th attempt. There's no better way to root lollipop yet. You could still try using the latest version of supersu with stock kernel though, it's what I use and I don't see much difference.

I missed this post. I think you meant boot.img and not root.img. Are you suggesting that you can successfully root by just installing SuperSU ZIP on a stock Lollipop install.
[G 2014 Android Development] NWKENT:
Sir..you have a bootloader unlocked XT1064.?

IF SO..if your on stock ROM, v5.0 Lollipop, then SuperUser v2.16 is what you need to flash..otherwise..please explain your device OS..

Yes, I have unlocked bootloader XT1064.

That's what I understand as well but the post I quoted seems to suggest that I don't need a custom boot.img from this thread flashed to get root. He seems to suggest that he used lollipop boot.img (which he misspelled as root.img, because there is nothing called root.img in this context) and SuperSU to gain root.
[G 2014 Android Development] NWKENT:
Sir..friend..since the bootloader is unlocked, and your on stock v5.0 Lollipop ROM, you can gain Root..see my post #25 here >> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=56960804

Maybe I don't understand your particular situation, but..the link/procedure that I suggested, absolutely does work, I have performed the procedure, testing, at least five times, erase cache and dalvik cache via TWRP after installing SuperSU..will help also..BE SURE and wait at least, 1.5 minutes during "unlocked warning screen".. the device may reboot a couple times during this process..after a couple reboots and it still hasn't booted, then POWER OFF, and boot into TWRP again, and erase cache again..

Basically, it looks like adreno driver initialization is hitting an error when the system is rooted. It fails to load the firmware and kernel panics, causing the reset to happen. It looks like /system is unmounted at exact that time by SU for some reason. So, its a race condition, which we win once in 7 or so boots! Hang on for more! I am close.

That would be ridiculous. On the other hand, the majority is clueless about the more technical side (most people choose to stay that way, and that's ok). Just imagine how official forums would be overrun, just because someone made a youtube video, claiming a speed-boost by entering 'su rm -rf /'. That's one reason why they void the warranty.

Now thats a sentiment I won't share. There are a lot of posts with problems just because of outdated adb/fastboot. That won't happen in Linux. Hunting down drivers can also be tedious work, especially if the device is a little older. In Linux you plug your device in, thats it. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to start a Windows vs. Linux discussion, fanboyism is just meh. It's just that Linux is community-driven, much like our beloved custom roms. It keeps devices running long after the manufacturer tosses it away.
