But you can go to recovery mode. If it's booting to the bootloader, you can arrow up to recovery and choose that.

Oh no, you flashed original 6.0 and 5.0 firmware? OK, now you have not only wiped out your custom TWRP recovery you have have flashed older bootloader over newer bootloader which BRICKS the phone. You never, never, never flash older firmware over newer firmware unless you omit gpt.bin in the flash commands.

Even then you should also omit recovery.img in the flash commands to keep custom recovery.

Your bootloader is unlocked, right? If so, there is still hope. Hold on.

Yes, it's for Brazil XT1225 but your bootloader is unlocked and there's no India equivalent posted online. You need the very latest Marshmallow stock (with latest bootloader) from Motorola and that's it. For stock you can only flash the same version bootloader you have or newer.

You will NOT be using RSDLite. You will have to use ADB fastboot. Read this post for instructions.

https://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo-2/general/x-force-how-to-manually-flash-official-t3282077

Yes, it's for the Moto X Force, but the steps are still the same for any bootloader unlocked Motorola device. You are flashing cross-region firmware on your India XT1225 to get it back working again.

You will need to omit gpt.bin when flashing the commands.

Once your phone is working again, you will need to re-flash TWRP and root with that older SuperSu version or whatever you did the first time.

After that you can reinstall a custom ROM if you wish.

[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
One thing...

On that

Brazil firmware link

I only see 10 sparse chunks, numbered 0-9, Yet, in your post above you have 12 listed. how are you flashing 12? (0-11) You can only flash as many sparse chunks as there are, that example from the Moto X Force thread is just an example. You have to flash the exact number.

I see you did NOT flash gpt.bin, which is good.

If your bootloader is still unlocked, this should work.

The only thing else I can suggest is this

powerful temp root command

first, before flashing the Brazil image. But you then have to flash an "end"/"finish" command or the next time you reboot, that itself will cause a bootloop. Over in the Droid Turbo forum, they use that temp root command to flash Sunshine, so Sunshine can then unlock the bootloader. You don't need Sunshine, I am only pointing you to the temp root file, which may help you flash this Brazil Marshmallow image.

There was another thread I can't find right now, from a person in very similar circumstances to you. His bootloader was even locked -- which was worse than you. But using that temp command, he was able to revive his phone using ADB fastboot flashing. His only problem then was not ending the temp root, and now I've lost the thread.

So, try this. Flash the temp root, followed by all the ADB fastboot commands to flash that image, followed by the command to end the temp root (it's double quotation marks with a space before them).
[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krishna13:
Yes. My bad. i had just copied commands to show u that i followed them. But in real, i had only flashed 9 of them.

and coming to your post, so should I need to download the initroot from "got the initroot working with internet for Droid Turbo - https://xdaforums.com/g4-...ader-t3639316/" and install in my system and run the .bat file? would it work for my xt1225? there mentioned other than xt1225. after flashing all the 9 system sparse chunks from brazil firmware, is this the command to end the temp root?? fastboot oem config fsg-id " "

I am confused :confused::confused::(
[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
Yes, but to end the temp root -- it's hard to tell due to XDA formatting --but It's fastboot oem config fsg-id "", with a space between the fsg-id part and the double quotation marks. There's NO space IN the quotation marks, just a space before it.
[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krishna13:
i have downloaded auto-intiroot-xt1254_quark.so shall i simply install it in my system and run the bat file? so no problem for my phone? to end that, simply ill follow the command without spaces.

first ill install bat file,then flash all the fastboot commands of firmware,and before fastboot reboot, ill end the temp flash and reboot my device.is this the procedure???
[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
Yes, you downloaded the right version. It's this one, even though you have an XT1225:

http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/Motorola/autoinitroot/XT1254

Yes, install the bat file via fastboot, then run the fastboot commands for firmware, then end the temp flash and try to reboot.

IF this doesn't work, I have no other ideas really. Just variations of making sure you are flashing the firmware correctly, which you seem to be doing.

Both were told they probably had hardware failure, most like flash memory.

I'm almost out of ideas. Since all your flashing did seem to go OK, how about now trying to flash TWRP again? You would be replacing stock recovery with a TWRP image. Then with phone off try using the volume + power button to boot to bootloader screen, if it will let you. Then from there you can choose TWRP. Once in TWRP (if you get that far) you can try dragging over a ROM to flash.

But if you are experiencing a hardware failure you probably won't be able to get that far.
[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitokage004:
I'm generally not very good walking people through things, but here is something to try. It's almost exactly what you've done before, except you will use mfastboot erase for specific partitions before flashing. Do NOT erase the bootloader - it can brick the phone. You shouldn't need to temp root, since your bootloader is unlocked.

From a command prompt, in the directory/folder you have ADB/(m)fastboot:

reminder do NOT erase the bootloader:

mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

mfastboot erase boot
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot erase recovery

for stock recovery use:

mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

for TWRP (download link) use:

mfastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-mod_2-quark.img

mfastboot erase system
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata

if you installed TWRP:

mfastboot reboot-bootloader

then start recovery to let it make the changes to keep it from being replaced, and then reboot

for stock recovery just reboot:

mfastboot reboot

If this doesn't work it's either failing hardware as ChazzMatt stated, or time to do things you shouldn't.

[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
Tutorial - moto maxx 6.0.1 brazil soak update

https://xdaforums.com/moto-maxx/help/tutorial-moto-maxx-6-0-1-brazil-soak-t3340820

Read through the options.

A "soak" update is a group beta test of what could be final firmware. Users Last year the Brazil XT1225 had 4 or 5 soak tests of 6.0.1 before final Motorola Marshmallow was released, as Motorola tweaked the firmware.

Since you have flashed actual final firmware, higher version than any soak test, I'm not sure how that would help you.

But let's say yes, it could help you get out of this fastboot mode. I'm aware of the Brazil soak tests, but I'm not aware of Indian Moto Turbo soak tests. Could you flash a Brazil XT1225 soak test? I know you have to omit gpt.bin right now via ADB when you manually flash Brazil firmware because of your bootloader.

I may be wrong, but my understanding is soak tests are basically beta OTA updates. They aren't full firmware, but partial firmware. They most probably include bootloader. (If I'm wrong about that, please someone correct me. [MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION]? )

The user [MENTION=4517320]junior_ilha[/MENTION] who posted that did include several options, so see if there is one where you can omit gpt.bin. Because the one where you just run it automatically probably would not work for you. If you try to flash a lower bootloader or different region bootloader than you already have, you will have bootloops.

Really I am very happy to see ur reply. I heartfully admire ur effort and patience to search and reply to my post with links with detailed explanation.No matter my phone works or not with the solution u provided, but the in time reply of urs, the intention to solve issues makes me very happy. I am searching for that guys post from 2 days but unable to find even his name.But u searched for me and gave me the detailed explanation of what the update.zip is. u are awesome man...

Now coming to the story, He said he had developed a tool which can be found in one of his forums, and to replace 5.1 files with this latest update.zip files and try it. Actually i lost hope in making my phone work again. But ill give a try. if that didnt work, my only way is to give to Motorola care and ask them to try from their side.

Also, i have a doubt. if there is fault with 64GB flash memory(hardware related issue as u said) , can I ask motorola care to replace that only chip with new one? Is it possible or whole motherboard needs to be replaced? correct me if im wrong,
[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
For hardware, depends on if the solder a new chip on or it's just easier to replace the whole motherboard. I don't know their standard procedures for hardware repair. I'm betting replacement is easier, as it's faster, more efficient use of time.

Hello dear ROM developers and users.

Currently I’m working on creation of a hub portal for android alternative ROMs.

Currently, most of ROMs are published on forums like xda or 4pda but they’re forums and are not designed to serve as developer community.

So I decided to create a hub designed specially for ROM development and sharing purposes.

The main inspiration for the project is GitHub.

The main goals are:

-	Provide better issues reporting and collection (like on GitHub)

-	Allow to rate the ROM

- Allow to search ROM by stability and etc.

-	Simplify searching for ROMs for specific models

If you’re interested in this idea, please provide your feedback and share your ideas.

Thank you!

Same happened with my XDA2s but just following the instructions below help me fix the problem, hope it might help you too..

1) Use two fingers to simultaneously press the RECORD and CAMERA buttons of the phone (on the phone's left side). Whilst these two buttons are depressed, use the stylus to click the soft-reset button underneath the phone - keep the two buttons depressed until the boot loader screen appears.

2) This should enable three options on the boot screen. These options allows a YES/NO response. Use the RECORD and CAMERA buttons to navigate between the options, and switch the YES/NO values. Set the following:

1] Enable KITL: NO (this is a debug tracing option which isn't required, except possibly for developers)

2] Format Registry Hive: YES (clears the registry)

3] Format Storage: YES (formats the internal memory: "\" directory, and under "\RamDisk\". Items under any storage card "\Storage Card\" are not formatted).

3) Once these options are set, press the MAIL button (in between today and the Pocket IE button) to confirm these options, and continue with the Registry and Storage format.

4) The device performs the reset, and the Windows CE setup screens (ie. screen alignment etc.) appear. Continue as per a new install...HOPE IT HELPS YOU!
