Nice idea but bad explained, all data will be erased during that process
can u explain better please? i already have flashed JB., so what now? how to root
i already have unlocked bootloader
yes instructions not clear...please clarify step by step
sorry if it was not very clear
because it's very fresh download i figured u wont mind resetting data
well - it does reset the device but if u untick wipe data it wont
first download and save to sdcard the superuser.zip (i recommend from koushik - cwm guy)
then u have to install flashtool on your desktop
also u need fastboot available as well
u also need the relock ftf file to use from flashtool
u need to have recovery elf file (i used thp -thanks 4 the work)
u need to know your bl unlock code from sony (if u r here u know it)
flash the rom
unlock bt using the fastboot command:
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x**********
then fastboot flash boot thp-kernel-filename.elf
enter recovery
install the superuser zip
now reboot to flash mode (vol-dn+pwr)
from flashtool flash the bootloader-relock.ftf
again from flashtool flash the jb ftf but deselect everything but the kernel
deselect wipe data
then disconnect and reboot
u will see the initial setup screen only if wiped data
might be asked to shutdown once - do it
power on and u have rooted device (no recovery but it wont take long)
Badly Explained "NOT":good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249026
by davidmkd is clearer and also extracted kernel
so this 1 can be closed
OP a few items here:
1) This is not for the Development Section
2) Yes your format of explanation needs to be more detailed and or accurate.
For this I will close this thread, so others do not misread your directions. And there are threads in place regarding this Topic, please search before creating a new thread.
Thank You.
I tried to flash a downgrade image to my moto e 2nd gen. Now Im stuck in bootloader and a warning message for unlocked bootloder. Ive tried to flash logo.bin, and other images aswell with no luck. It keeps asking me to install a valid signed images, I don't know where to find these images. Please help!
You need to do exactly what it's asking you to do - flash valid signed images. Which model do you have (XT152x)? Which region are you in? Which version were you downgrading from?
Just so you know, downgrading the stock ROM is very highly discouraged as it can cause bricking in certain circumstances. In particular, never try to downgrade the stock ROM when the bootloader is locked. You can try flashing back the upgraded images and seeing if your phone accepts them. Be aware that the signed images must match your model number and region.

Thanks for reply.
I don't have these images, where to get them? My model is xt1524reteuall, I'm in europe/sweden and I downgraded from stock Lollipop 5.0.2
I did unlock the bootloader via motorolas site.

Hmm, so you went from a newer 5.0.2 build to an old 5.0.2 build? What were you downgrading to?
Go to this folder: https://mega.nz/#F!rMIhDLgR!oq5Cz_XbgZLEEysmqoYtcA
Navigate to Surnia ->5.0.2
Look for the file XT1524_RETEUALL_MOTOE2... (it's near the middle of the list)
Download and try flashing everything it in using fastboot.

I got my device back!! I did succeed to flash it with this rom "surnia_stock_5.0.2.zip" with TWRP. I did not have the patience to wait at the Motorola logo when booting, I have to wait 2-3 min and 2-3 min for services to start. for the device to boot. But now it doesn't register any sim card when at desktop?!?

I was downgrading to kitkat 4.4.4 due to poor battery in lollipop 5.0.2. I'm downloading a xt1524reteuall rom right now but ir is going slowly.

Oh, you must have flashed something really wrong then. There are no 4.4.4 ROMs for this device. You would have flashed something totally incompatible and highly risky if you flashed 4.4.4 from somewhere. That may have wrecked your modem software too. Download and flash the proper XT1524-specific software with the correct modem. If you are unhappy with the performance of the stock ROM, you can flash scritch007's CM12.1.

fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase customize
fastboot oem config carrier vzw
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
(4. I needed to reunlock my Moto E 2nd Gen at Motorolas site, because i did relock it.)
5. Get into bootloader menu and flash this TWRP image (i can email it to you) within the same folder and flash it with fastboot.
6. Restart phone. Wait 2-3 minutes so it boots into android.

And I'm back with my Moto E! Thank you! I wasn't doing some of those commands and with all those commands it works! Thank you!
So I relocked my bootloader after upgrading to marshmallow and forgot that I did that..... I tried to flash a stock boot img so I could utilize the ota, and it sort of bricked my tablet. Being a total dumbass I didn't realize that was the problem. Having had a similar issue before on my galaxy s4 where I follow a similar solution. I already have twrp installed, and it was asking for encryption for which there was none. So I wiped data and formatted to get past the encryption. On my s4 I was then able to reinstall the stock firmware and software. However when I tried to push the bootloader to my nexus I got this weird error.. can someone pleeeeeeease spare me and help me out. This tablet is my lifeline for college...
Don't get me in trouble for posting this image please lol, I just don't have enough posts. http ://i67.tinypic.com/v80vwl.jpg[/B][/B]
I figured it out, I was just being dumb. I just needed to use the fastboot commands and not try to use twrp

If your able to access the bootloader menu or the fastboot menu, you could flash the stock and would fix the brick,soft brick or boot-loop.
Head to Google developer nexus image. Download the factory image of your devices on your devices. Extract all the files and copy paste the fastboot and adb files. Head to your devices and open the fastboot menu.
Type the following commends to restore your devices if the flashall did not work.
Fastboot oem unlock
Fastboot flash bootloader bootloader....
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
Fastboot erase boot
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase system
Fastboot flash system system.img (this could take up to 15 minutes, don't do anything to stop the process you can make your devices and a worst state)
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash cache cache.img
Fastboot erase vendor
Fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Fastboot reboot
This should fix your devices. I did not and it save each time I broke my device or anything similar.
If you want after all that. You can enter the following commends to relock your devices but don't make the same mistake you did before. If you want to avoid that same mistake just don't enter the commends.
What the guy above me said, also pro tip, some times not all the files will extract just keep extracting till all the image files are there.
Somebody help me unlock my bootloader on my Moto G 3 osprey ?? I can't unlock this even after watching all the videos in YT and reading all the blogs. I wanna root my device and then upgrade to a custom ROM(lineage OS) but I don't understand the 'bootloader unlock' process. Dude you gotta help me ?
You gotta go through their website. Under development you should find unlock bootloader.
You have to do fastboot getvar and then copy the output into their website so they'll provide the key. Then just
fastboot oem unlock (key)
Then flash TWRP and your custom ROM. (You may have to extract the boot.img from the rom zip and flash it with fadtboot.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then flash the zip with TWRP.

Hi,
I was wondering how to unroot the nokia 1. Would someone be able to give me a pointer please?
Many thanks
Beepbopboop.
To unroot make sure you're in the stock system,boot & vendor then you'll have to go to fastboot
>fastboot erase userdata
>fastboot flash recovery recovery.bin (you can go to the other thread to dowload the stock recovery)
>fastboot flashing lock_critical
This will make your phone go stock and lock bootloader thus unrooting the device.
