bro are you using the twrp backup files or the files which started with 'blur.condor.....'.zip.
you can only flash twrp backup files via twrp .
download appropriate twrp backups which are present in general forum/Android development forum and flash it.
Good luck.

Without the stock rom, it is so risky to test custom roms, almost impossible.
But if you can flash TWRP or CWM, you can backup your stock rom to restore everytime you fail.
I suggest you to find the custom recovery first.
Use this Mobile Uncle Tools (MTK tools) to flash custom recovery, the most easy way to flash recovery for MTK devices. If you want to know how to use it, go to www.kokoandroid.weebly.com and follow the step 2,3 and 5.
Good Luck in porting rom. :fingers-crossed:

may be that is the problm,again go to recovery format factory reset and then install cm12 and install gapps and then reboot,make sure gapps for lollipop u install
I don't think so. I installed cm12 without gapps worked fine. But still. Try every option u can to restore your phone. Maybe u need to flash gapps for newer version of cm12. Let us know if anything worked for you. Your info coold help others. Good luck mate.

may be the downloaded file is corrupted while it was downloaded, happened to me also. download the file again and do a 'clean' installation.
flashing gapps have no connection whatsoever with rom installation. :good:
Install CM11, boot it up once, then install CM12+gapps without wiping.

Flashing a ROM without gapps will not cause any bootloop issue
how ever you can try these two :
1. If you are using the 27th March build, don't use that, there's some problem with that, if you clean flash that zip, it ll result into a bootloop, use the 28th March build instead
2. If you are still facing a bootloop, make sure that you are using the TWRP 2.8.5 version

Hi, first of all, download the latest build, do a clean flash of all partitions, data, system, cache & dalvik, if you don't wanna loose your data make a backup and restore it only when you have booted your device at least once to make sure it boots, and as recommendation flash a custom kernel after verifying the boot, tell us how it goes Luck!
I tried all the options. I installed the latest build. I cleared cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, etc. But no use its always gets the same situation. Due to the bootloop the device was not detected in Pc so I transferred the cm12 zip to external so card and tried installing it from their. Could dis be a problem?? ? This time I also installed gapps. Please help I want my device back:crying:

find stock rom 4.4.4 somewhere on xda developer site or google u will get it, if u flash android 4.4.2 and then update to android 4.4.4 through sofware update. ur moto e get potentially bricked because u have unlocked the bootloader, when u update stock rom replace the bootlaoder. then u cannot recover ur loving moto e,,then u have only one option to change the motherboard

This you can do if you have installed soak test via putting it in your sd card or installed via OTA(ie if you have updated your bootloader) and make sure drivers are installed
Hope it helped
I believe I have the same problem. I tried going from stock 4.4.4 to cm12. Tested april 1st and april 2nd builds and I always get stuck in boot screen animation for nearly one hour.
Whenever I install the rom I get the following message "detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system". I used sideload and the external SD.
Will it brick if I try installing CM11 now after a wipe? Will it be considered a downgrade (even if I never properly booted)?
Sorry if it seems I'm hijacking this thread, but I believe we both have the same problem. I necessary I'll create another topic.
Thanks

no, you can flash cm11, provided you have never flashed the soak test zip anytime before
and about the bootloop, try using the previous version of TWRP, many people have stated that when they tried flashing with the previous version of TWRP it didn't result into bootloop
Hit Thanks if that was helpful
Quick update, with a solution.
Indeed I changed the recovery for TWRP and chose to clean the system in addition to cache, data and dalvik. After that I installed CM12 through sideload and this time it worked fine. Even if I still got the message "detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system".
Hope this helps OP as well!

Hi,
I facing the same issue. Roms tested:
cm-12.1-20150411-UNOFFICIAL-condor.zip
cm-12.1-20150412-ROBBIEL811-UBER4.8-condor.zip
cm-12-20150411-NIGHTLY-condor.zip
with recoveries:
twrp2.8.5.0-condor.img
cwm_6051_condor.img
cwm_6050_condor.img
All combinations fail to boot. Tested in CWM with sideload and SD, format all, and nothing.
After all test, still can't boot.
BTW, Bootloader xt1021 5009. Is there any newer version ?
(My MotoG bootloader has to be upgraded to run latest versions)
---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------
The last option is recover it from paperweight; downgrade to 4.4.4 (RETESALL_XT1021_4.4.4_KXC21.5-40_cid7_CFC.xml.zip)
In fastboot:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
After all, is working again, in stock rom.

5.1.1_r26 Resurrection Remix® Lollipop v5.5.9 - Togari [11/20] Final

Sorry everyone. I can't post this on the original forum.
I need to know how I can remove this rom and go back to a older rom I installed and backed up via TRMP.
Unfortunately I am having problems with this rom as I have had it installed for over a month now and really can't be used as a daily.
Have changed the kernel to trmp but it only gives / directory with 0 bytes. Cannot mount any other system etc to restore a working rom.
Have tried installing a rooted rom via Flashtool but keep getting errors.
I am trying to avoid wiping the whole phone and start afresh. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
You can restore your back up via twrp.

I have tried but trwp when in recovery will not recognize any of the other partitions. It can only see / partition. I have also used trwp app. When I reboot into system from trwp it says no system available but will boot into RR rom.

I'm on Android 4.1.2 rooted and with Philz CWM Touch recovery.. Now?

Hello everybody, as the title says, I currently have this configuration. My father's phone always reports memory is full and I decided to upgrade the phone to a different ROM, possibly one which is light. Anyway I found different threads about IsoRec recovery but I didn't understood what are we talking about. Also, I was not able to understand what to do and which files to flash, even if, just for an example, I wish to flash latest CM13. I think that an old recovery which supports Android 4.1.2 doesn't support Android 6.0 to be flashed via zip, so I would probably mess up something. So, what should I do? Flash something with ODIN via PC? Or there's something I can do directly from the phone to update recovery and then flash the ROM's zip? Thank you!
Hi,
You can follow the instructions here to install CM12.1 first:
Download cm-12.1-XXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.zip to your sdcard
Make sure you're using a Kitkat Compatible Recovery
Boot into Recovery
Wipe all your data
Flash cm-12-.1XXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.zip from sdcard
(Optional)Flash Google Apps.zip from sdcard
Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once installed, follow this guide to upgrade to CM13:

Installing any new cynogenmod/mokee ROM always fails

Hi, I am trying to install cynogenmod or mokee rom and the device always gets stuck at cyno/mokee logo. it never goes beyond that. tried to wait for half an hour(waited for one hour twice).
Here is what I am doing:
I used TWRP but it wasnt working so i installed CWM, in both the recoveries I was wiping everything except sd card storage as my zip files were in the card. after that i flashed zip files(ROM & GAPPS). after that i rebooted to system. Am I doing it wrong? I am currently on 4.4.4 stock rom. Need help.
Thank you.
No one to help?

The problem wasn't with the recovery and I wasn't doing anything wrong. It was really too bad to know that the rom version I was installing had a bootloop bug in it. So I had tried two previous versions but they too had the same bug. And unfortunately I tried CONTINUOUSLY for two long days to install those same bugged ROMS as if God has put me in frustration mode. Tech fooled me right, lol.
Grab the November 8 version of Cyanogemod. There are issues with the newer updates.
