Marshmallow for rooted device???

Does anyone know any other way to get marshmallow on my rooted device? I have TWRP on there and am trying to side-load, but everytime i click on adb sideload on my phone, the phone disappears from my computer. I have tried many things to no avail. I apologize if this has already been asked elsewhere. TIA!

You could use the return to stock tool in the development section and just take the OTA. Then you can just reflash TWRP.

Thanks for the quick response, but I have done that a couple of times and i have received the OTA, but the install always fails. I am using the RTS program that has the file that starts out with CLARK_RETUS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18.......... Is there another that i should be using? BTW, I am on the European 1572 variant if that matters. Thanks again for the reply!

I've got the same problem, I'm on the 1572 instead of the 1575 and not sure on what to do with the return to stock tool

I just went through this yesterday. I tried the twrp but got no WiFi even with flashing the modem. I tried return to stick and failed the first time. I tried return to stick the second time but flashed the modem file by itself again and then the MM upgrade worked. That is the only thing I did differently.

dont use the return to stock tool for the xt1575 on the xt1572, you need to get the xt1572 firmware from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/pure-firmware-tuff-wip-t3224833 get it, and unzip it, then get this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzsA17IjC5k2Y203VklsVDhseDQ/view?usp=sharing and put it in the same directory, make sure you have fastboot installed system wide, otherwise put the files in the same directory as the images, boot the phone into fastboot mode (power + vol down), plug into computer, and run the flash-all batch script, once done, the phone should reboot into stock 5.1.1

Could I message you on Skype or something about this? I'm kinda lost... My Skype is ________ if you can. Sorry man...

My apologies. I didn't catch you were on 1572. Was on my way out of the house and answered quickly.

no problem oaklands! Thanks for trying to help out! I believe I have flashed to 5.1.1 alright, but for some reason I can't update. It don't seem like my modem wants to work or something. I flashed a new one and everything. Any thoughts? TIA

I am interesting also,
I have rooted EU version 1572, and cant wait for Marshmallow. Is there a solution to update from Lollipop to Marshamallow right now?

I can only tell you the only thing I did differently after returning to stock was to flash the non-hlos.bin file in fastboot a second time. I believe that is the correct file name. I am not at home to verify. That is all it took for me. I would try again. I have seen others that have repeated steps that did not work the first time to have it work the next time.
Keep in mind I am on US 1575 version but I don't see why it wouldn't work for you as long as you have the proper files. I would initially get to 15 or 20% and it would just fail with no error code.

this best. because, i test all other method but my phone did not relock.
When I tried this method, phone is relocked and everything work without error.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You are a life saver! This is the only method that worked for me after struggling for a couple of days trying to overcome errors wen I tried to flash stock and re-lock the bootloader. :good::good::good: Will this allow the OTA update and receive Motorola updates?

relock bl returns te warranty?

no. there is no reason to ever relock this phone.

So,if you want to receive Motorola OTA Updates, you only need to unroot and return to stock recovery?

No
You have to use motorola's website to get the unlock code. They know you unlocked, warranty still void.

I can't thank you enough for this thread!!! I've run through several of these and yours has been the only one to include the most recent security patch!!! You are a STAR!

Thank you for making this easy!

Awesome!
This worked beautifully, I can't thank you enough.
Update** Since using this to un soft brick my device, My bootloader seems to be in a weird place, It says "Device unlocked Status code 3". I followed directions from Motorollas site to relock boot loader nothing in ADB or Fastboot flashes. I tried re unlocking it fails. im not sure what happened. any suggestions would be great though! thanks.

THANK U!!!!
so I tried like 3 other methods to restore my xt1575 after I soft bricked it like an idiot... This was the easiest, quickest method by a long shot.... I wish I could shake ur hand sir! Thank u soooo much....
Edit : Now...it seems...my Bluetooth wont turn on....I've tried resetting network settings, clearing data under BT sharing in App Manager settings, and doing a full factory reset. Ive rebooted numerous times as well. I cannot, for the life of me , get BT to turn on! I'm about to flash TWRP, wipe, and install AICP... IDK..... has this ever happened to anyone? anyone got any idea's?

The firmware and procedure in the OP are outdated, doing any flashing via a batch file is highly frowned upon as you cannot see if any piece fails and judging from the date of the OP the firmware is out of date.
Aside from that, if just the BT isn't working, you likely need to reflash the BT firmware... it should be included in the firmware you downloaded, go to that directory and execute "fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin" to reflash the BT firmware partition. I am not sure what fastboot is included in this firmware archive, so it that fails try it as "mfastboot fastboot bluetooth BTFM.bin".
If BTFM.bin does not exist in this firmware archive, try over from scratch, look in my signature for a more up to date method of restoring stock and (optionally) relocking the bootloader.

Motorola Moto X Play hard bricked after OTA

Hi there. I was on stock firmware when the OTA came. I did not installed for a while but when I did my phone went completely dead. I cannot boot into the bootloader nor the recovery. I cannot get fastboot to work. The only hope I have is when I connect it to Windows PC it recognizes it as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM 3). After some research I found that I can do a blankflash, but i cannot find any blankflash files for my phone. So my question is - Is there any way to generate singleimage.bin (for blankflash) or any other way to recover it? Thank you!

Got the same problem. until now no blankflash files available, i guess. Only way is by jtag box. i tried with loader.img for moto x style but it doesnt work for moto x play.

I have the same problem, no blankflash files available until now?

They are frauds.. Many have paid them and got screwed up.. Only way is to do Jtag Flashing or to change the Mother Board (much expensive)

No it is not legit I already got the files from them try my files and tell me if it works for you...also upload it in the global form if working

It won't work for sure.. The whole project was sponsored by a guy in Hard bricked Moto X Play telegram group created by us.. The only way to fix it is Jtag flashing.. It may cost you around INR 1000.

You're welcome buddy.. Just don't waste time on blank flash files.. It just won't work as it isn't digitally signed by Motorola.. Get it fixed from Pune.. That's the only possible solution as of now.. Else you'll have to change the Mother Board..

Hello, after restoring the official firmware and working perfectly the phone, an OTA update appeared, small, I gave it to install as other times ... and from that moment the phone with the black screen.
It seems I'm not the only one, is there any way to revive it?

There is nothing to do ... send it to Motorola and pay the settlement, which is not worth it, they asked me € 195 (according to them, you had to change the motherboard) ... so thrown away.
If it had been to mess with him, but after an official OTA. Never again Motorola.

SOLVED:Stuck at PIN input, then reboots

Well, I f*cked up.
Fastboot works, I can flash stock rom via Xiaomi Flash. Flashing completes without any problems. A notification about encypting phone shows up, at 3% it jumps to 100% and resumes boot. Now after each boot, phone freezes at "input your sim pin" and reboots. Over and over again. What can I try, please help :

Try to format data in twrp or stock recovery.
If it does not work flash an android 8.0 or Nougat ROM. Do not lock the bootloader.

Let me guess. From Pie to Oreo or Nougat?

will give it a read, it it works, I'll PM you and you'll give me your paypal address. Fair is fair.
can't unlock OEM, because I can't boot up to developer tools. great, just great. will try to fix that first.

if you can boot to fastboot try to flash stock pie 10.0.4.0 with miflash, after that your device should be able to boot, than unlock OEM and bootloader and downgrade to what version you want

I can get to fastboot yeah, but MiFlash tool says that remote oem unlock is not allowed. So I'll probably have to open it up for EDL. Reboot to edl isn't working. Thanks for the advice tho.

i had a problem like yours, but i have flashed stock rom in non EDL mode and everything had start to work apart LTE band missing that i restored with qualcomm's tools
which stock rom have you try to flash? are you downgrading from oreo? bootloop on android one logo after downgrading is a common issue due to ARB (anti rollback protection)

reward is cancelled from this point on i will reward the one who helped me so far tho. still working on solving the problem so winner has not been decided yet.

you don't understand.
There are no winners and no loosers.
You are free to donate to anyone you want, but your post boost and encourages a bad attitude.
If people start to solve only paid problems, the spirit of the community will be destroyed.

The problem is with the Pie specific partition table
I write the whole guide from memory, so it can differ a bit.... I skipped some steps ( erasing, reboot, fastboot mode, TWRP loading via fastboot, OEM unlock )
From previous writings I think you can know the skipped steps.
Keep in mind: It is dangerous, you can loose your IMEI ( it will only work again with Pie - or there are some writings at forum how can you manually change it. ).
Steps:
1 - Backup with TWRP (fastboot) efs,persist,modem & make copy to your computer and or to your cloud provider.
2 - Create a new folder in Internal Storage -> TWRP -> BACKUP -> With a new date directory ( the backup already made one, make a new folder, with different date )
3 - Download someone's older TWRP backup from xda (I cheated, I copied the following links ) :
(I'm still a new user, so can't directly write url's )
Mediafire : https COLON SLASH SLASH bit.ly SLASH 2QU5NtC
Mirror: Google Drive : https COLON SLASH SLASH bit.ly SLASH 2UN1DTo
4 - Unpack, and copy EFS to the folder created 2 point
5 - Fastboot TWRP -> Restore EFS
6 - Flash the Official latest firmware from en.miui.com ( If you want to make sure go with EDL mode )
7 - Now, the IMEI & Mac addresses are missing. Don't panic! Download update with System Updates.
8 - When you are on Pie again, restore your first TWRP (fastboot) persist partition
9 - One more System restore
At this time, you will have IMEI & Mac addressees, and hopefully a working phone.
Hope this helps. The same thing happened with me 2 weeks ago. This is how I solves it.

Thank you, I solved it yesterday. Hopefully this post will come in handy for other people!

LG K8 (2017) or LG x240 bricked

So, i've unlocked the bootloader of the device with the steps that berkantkz posted in this forum. I've followed every step with caution, but when tried to flash the file attached to the thread of the unlocking, an error appeared. Triying to boot on the phone it stayed stuck on the boot logo
And to make the situation even worst, I tried to flash other ROM in the phone (to try to fix the problem) and now the phone don't even power on. The only thing that the phone does it's that a PC detects the phone when I conect it. I've tried the SP Flash Tool, but I've searched the entire internet and I don't find the original firmware of this phone.
Somebody can help me? Or if someone know where to get the original firmware to flash in the SP Flash Tool
Or if the only utility of the phone will be stay as a brick in a house wall
