Thanks a ton. I will surely backup everything right after installing TWRP from now on.

I'm on stock ROM NPN25.137-15, rooted with TWRP installed. Can I just upgrade it to NPN25.137-35 by downloading the zip from above link and flash it under TWRP?

I have the same questions are the linked files flashable in TWRP? My stock backup is rooted and now I can't play Pokemon GO. Just looking for the easiest way to unroot my stock rom. Thanks!

No Stock ROM can not be flashed via twrp, only the OTA zips can be flashed via stock Recovery. This is the link to the fastboot ROM.

As I mentioned above. Moreover you can flash UnSU and then root using Magisk. Magisk allows hiding root detection for Safetynet.

Assuming that you have set up adb/fastboot drivers, extract all the rom files to that folder and type in the commands mentioned here :

I unlocked the bootlader and rooted the phone before giving it to my wife. During that whole process, fastboot had no problems recognizing the phone (obviously). Then my wife tried to update via the OTA which got her stuck in TWRP. I'd like to reflash the stock ROM, but the problem I have is I can't use fastboot to do commands line by line (as shown in the link above) since "fastboot devices" doesn't show my phone anymore. I was able to get her going on a custom ROM for now, but I'd like to put her back on the stock ROM so we won't encounter this problem again. I've reinstalled the Motorola driver several times, but no luck. ADB has no problems recognizing the phone when in recovery. One thing that happened recently was a big update to Windows 10, but I'm not sure if that is the reason for my fastboot issues.
I intend to give it a go on another computer once I get the phone again from the wife, but any advice until then would be appreciated.

Thanks. I've installed a custom ROM but im not happy with the results (specially the poor camera performace). Will this "undo" everything? I mean, stock apps, stock widgets, etc etc? (don't care if the bootloader stays unlocked and the warning moto message while booting). I know this may be a stupid question, but like Homer would say: "it's my first day"

Just a follow up to my previous post, I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the Motorola driver and ADB on the original computer, but for some reason it still won't "see" the phone in fastboot. I was able to install ADB/Fastboot and the Motorola driver on a separate computer (also Windows 10) to get fastboot to recognize the phone so I could issue commands to reinstall the stock firmware. I noticed, though, that the following commands FAILED when I entered them:
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
I'm not sure what those were for, but the phone seems to be working fine on the stock firmware now.

I flashed the one in the retail folder and it says ret-EU in the settings so flash that one

Quick question, did any of you on XT-1640 manage to safely root your phone?
You know, without losing wi-fi, data etc.? Which method did you use.

I did, got no problems so far. But you will lose all data when unlocking the bootloader, if its already unlocked then rooting isn't going to wipe your data. I also installed xposed and got no problems with it

Moto g4 Plus stuck at bootloader
Hi,
My Moto G4 plus is now stuck at bootloader. Below are the details of errors that I get
Recovery Mode - Failed to validate recovery image
Start the phone - Failed to validate boot image
Flash stock ROM via ADB - Pre flash validation failed
Flash stock boot.img - Image boot failed validation (Security version Downgare)
I am not even able to unlock the bootloader as the adb returns a message saying I need to toggle 'Allow OEM Unlock" in the Developers Menu. I connot do that as I cannot boot my phone.
Please help.

Looks like your trying to downgrade firmware there and from what I'm aware you can't downgrade certain sections like bootloader etc. What is it you're trying to achieve?

I was just trying to flash the stock rom. Had some glitches in my phone. While I was trying to flash via adb, couple of steps failed and then I was not able to boot my phone back.
Im sure that I'm using the latest version of ROM. However, it's the one before the latest security patch. However, the boot image and recovery image should remain the same.
Here's the version that I'm trying to flash.
XT1641-XT1643_6.0.1_MPJ24.139-13.1_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC
No matter what I do now, I just cannot get my phone to boot in recovery mode or just boot normally.

I can flash RR without any issues but whenever I try flashing either a JX series ROM or a fully stock ROM, TWRP says 'Invalid Zip File Format'. I have access to both bootloader and recovery, everything else works fine. Can someone please guide me on what to do? Do I have to sideload the ROM via ADB? If so, please enlighten me about the procedure

Why not trying to reflash the twrp(may try another one from official website or of silesh nair on his thread).
I think you might have turn on md5 checksum or another this which keeps verifying the zip and no signature is found.
Reflashing is a good course as it do not erase any data of yours.

If flashing recovery is problem, reflash stock rom w/ stock recovery n boot ans try again to flash twrp, might sovle the issue

Its power button followed by vol up, but hey that recovery ain't gonna help you. Im just saying you to reflash it as it will erase all the data of current twrp recovery which might interfere with another recovery(changes are negligible, but then too).
I gave you link to a 64-bit twrp made by dreamester and silesh nair. Try it and see if it works.
You can not flash stock ROM from TWRP or other custom recovery. You need a PC with Moto Drivers and fastboot tools installed. Then you have to flash the stock rom from fastboot (generally instructions are given inside rom zip in a file called 'flashfile.xml'). I can't say about flashing JX series ROM (maybe it needs you to be on stock first or something like that) but here are the files needed to install Motorola ADB and FASTBOOT drivers and ADB & FASTBOOT tools on windows pc:
https://firmware.center/software/Android/platform-tools/win/ and https://firmware.center/software/Motorola/

To get into stock recovery press VOLUME UP while pressing and holding POWER button but you can't flash custom ROM or wipe SYSTEM from there. For that purpose use Official latest TWRP recovery from their website.

I already have these installed! But when I run RDS and connect my phone in fastboot mode to the computer, RDS doesn't detect it in the program. I mean, the device doesn't show up in the boxes below.

Stock recovery don't flash roms, thats why we use customs recovery. As he mentioned just flash the stock rom, enable usb debugging and oem unlocked. Just flash the files and again flash the recovery which ever suits you and thats it.
Note : take backup first as it wipes your internal storage.

I think reflashing the stock rom is the only thing to do. Read carefully whatever is written in that thread. And see if all the commands are properly exicuted.
I dont know any work around for sim as i have never had that issue. Tell me if its solved or not for just a bit of knowledge.
Edit : just for reference you are not using moto g4 play device, are you?
Standard ROM and recovery cannot be flashed by TWRP, only in fastboot mode.

How to update model Bnd-L24 already unlocked and twrp installed

Just bought a 7x off swappa for my wife and it has the bootloader unlocked but not rooted, with TWRP as recovery and it still has the November(b101) update so it hasn't been updated. What would be the best way to update it to the latest firmware as I don't want to brick it since I can't find any fix, it's model Bnd-L24.... Any help would be most welcome thanks all

It's really simple. If you flashed TWRP to your phone via the fastboot method, it's almost the same procedure to get it back. You just need to get the recovery images for the Honor 7x (since there's none available for the Mate SE. They're pretty much identical, though).

When you get to the step where it has you flash the recovery image, you gotta do it a little differently
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
then
"fastboot flash recovery2 recovery2.img"
make sure they're both in the same folder and that you open up a cmd prompt in that folder (shift + right click, then "open command prompt here"

Before proceeding take a complete nandroid backup.
It will help you in case device is bricked.
Also backup system image through adb

Ok successfully removed twrp and stock recovery is there..... I have tried to enter Huawei erecovery to download latest version and recovery but i get this error after its connected to the wifi, getting package info from server..... Getting package info failed? How do I update the phone?
That's because there's no stock ROMs on the Huawei server for the BND-L24. You have to be a little bit patient for the release.
Sidenote: If you are willing to assist. Can you do myself and a few others on this forum a favour by kindly doing a full backup of your L24 and share for the benefit of us who bricked ours. Would greatly appreciate it

Sidenote: If you are willing to assist. Can you do myself and a few others on this forum a favour by kindly doing a full backup of your L24 and share for the benefit of us who bricked ours. Would greatly appreciate it

Ok didn't know there wasn't any OTA's for this version
So the November security patch is the latest? If so that's scary
Sure I will do a full backup when I get a sec....

1 March is the latest security patch but only if you signed up for the beta and got the OTA pushed to you. Thanks, will await your backup ?

When you get to the step where it has you flash the recovery image, you gotta do it a little differently
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
then
"fastboot flash recovery2 recovery2.img"
make sure they're both in the same folder and that you open up a cmd prompt in that folder (shift + right click, then "open command prompt here"

Missing emoji when returning to stock

I recently flashed my 6T to stock from EvolutionX and locked the bootloader, and somehow in the process, it seems my keyboard isn't able to display or type any emojis. The steps I followed are:
HTML:
1. fastboot reboot bootloader
2. fastboot boot twrp
3. flash latest OOS
4. reboot bootloader
5. fastboot boot twrp
6. flash OOS
7. boot system
8. reboot bootloader
9. fastboot oem lock
10. boot system and setup (sign in to google, etc)
Is there any step that I missed, or any way to recover this without rooting/unlocking again?

Reflash your ROM through stock recovery ..
You're missing the reserve partition cause you've flashed through twrp..
If you still dont have emoji
root your phone and flash this module

Local upgrade
You could also just run msmdownloadtool, it will reset the device to full stock. There is a version for 10.3.0, just run it and upgrade.

I thought I had to use stock recovery to flash this. Can I just fastboot boot twrp and flash it from there?

From the settings menu in the os right? I tried that and it kept asking me to move the upgrade file to the root of the internal storage, like it didn't see it or something

This is a T-Mobile device that has been converted to international fw. Would I use the international 10.3.0 msm file?

Nope, Tmob MSM, international one won't run anyway in your case.

Correct. Flashed using local upgrade from inside the os and still didn't fix it.
Edit: after uninstalling updates for Gboard they returned. Thanks everyone for all the replies!

Made this little project using the script from @mauronofrio FASTBOOT ROMs to return OP8 to latest OOS, since I was always having issues doing so, and always ended up using the unbrick tool for OP8.
Enjoy! If you have any issues, just let me know using a post.
Regards.

I have a T-Mobile device, which I converted to Global and finally installed a custom ROM. For any updates, I have to follow the same route - go back to T-Mobile, then global and then any other ROM. Can I use this utility to go back directly to Global from custom or would I still need to first flash T-Mobile ROM?

Technically, this process would be the same as a conversion. Just see if you need to backup any other extra partition, like persist.img or other.
Regards.
thank you so much for this, ive been stuck or soft bricked for the last 4 days and this might just be my out.
Hi, thanks for this! Now I have a question, I have latest OOS with Magisk, but since upgrade to 11 i have System UI crashes and serious lags and freeze, I did 4 factory resets and its still there, I want to reflash all from 0, can I use this?
Thank you very much for the contribution

There's a self extracting file (*.exe) inside the zip file. Have you run it, and checked the extracted files?

Thanks -- I didn't notice it was an executable. I think I'm ready to go, but just checking. Here's what I've done so far with my T-Mobile version OnePlus 8:
1. completed process to unlock the bootloader (unlocked phone, got token, applied token)
2. set up fastboot in a directory on my Windows PC
3. ran the self-extraction on OnePlus8Oxygen_15.E.35_OTA_0350_all_2103221815-FASTBOOT
Now I'm going to run flash-all.bat. Before I do that, do I need to back up any files, e.g. modem files? Thanks!

backup persist.img and modem.img just in case, and you should be ok to go.
PS: i'm going to upload the fastboot rom without the self extracting method to be easier for users.

@infected_ Considering that I am coming from an unlocked bootloader, will this method re-lock the bootloader and is this carrier-branded compatible?

Safe to use for Verizon OP8 5G UW or is this a method to go Global from a carrier-branded version?

sorry for another simple question; I haven't done system level things with Android in a long time. Where are instructions on how to backup those files? I did a little searching, but haven't found anything that works yet.

Thanks! Now I realize that even though I have an unlocked bootloader, I don't have root access. Now I have to figure out how to get that. Sigh.
And...I see much conflicting information on how to root my bootloader unlocked T-Mobile version OnePlus 8. Any advice/pointers to info on the best/easiest way to root it?
