I installed that flash image gui app, tried a new kernel, I dont like it and tried to reset my backup from the cwm recovery I use to have, but the recovery wasnt there anymore and I had to flash the twrp recovery, which i dislike, and still cant figure out how to get my cwm backup of this rom back.
Check to see if the backup files are in the CWM folder if not then not to be a Debbie Downer but you're SOL. If they are boot into system and flash the recovery using Rom Manager then restore the backup like you normally would
I've tried that... I have twrp recovery, I've tried that and when booting into recovery it just shows the white HTC screen then reboots. I do have the backup in the cwm folder but can't flash it.

just reflash cwm recovery via fastboot.
How do I do that? I tried flashing it from twrp recovery but it doesn't see the file. It is in the root of my SD. It's cwm 5.0 shooter
cwm backups dont work with twrp backups and vice versa.
Load your phone into the bootloader( power button and volume down).
Then connect to computer via usb, and press power button again to enter fastboot and it should say fastboot usb.
Then in terminal/command prompt execute this command where "recovery.img" is the file name of your cwm recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then when thats done execute this
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Do i need to rename the cwm file, or use any program on the computer? I can get into the bootloader from my phone if there's an easier way, I don't quite understand that way. Also I have hboot 1.50 if it matters
it doesn't matter the name of the recovery but u just have to use that name instead of recovery.img when u type the command. since you have 1.50 your gonna have to use flashboot to flash anything when you arent able to boot into android.
I assume u have downloaded fastboot, adb, and the google usb drivers, since u have already rooted.
You will use your command prompt on your computer to boot phone into the recovery. See in 1.50 u can't just boot up the phone, goto recovery and flash things. You have to boot into boot loader, press power button when selector is on fastboot (normally default position aka first one in the list), then connect phone via usb to computer. The Red word fastboot should now say fastboot usb.
then execute the commands. "recovery.img" replace with your cwm file name
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
alright I think I figured it out, thanks a lot man!
and don't worry your not the only this happened to. I had this happen to me this weekend. I just got the phone 5 days ago and killed it. So i had a great weekend playing catch up to learn how to reflash on 1.50 HBOOT.

also if you still get white screen after you restore with cwm, its means the stock kernel didnt carry over. just reply if that happens.
once you loose its gone why dont you try 4ext custom recovery and gui doe's cause problem's ive used it and it wiped out my boot.img right now im useing 4ext as my custom recovery and it does'nt give any problems at all give it a try

NO bro, the apps works very well. It gets the Job done perfectly.
Suppose you were on a certain ROM and tried flashing a custom kernel with Flash Image GUI, and stuck in bootloop/htc screen , it doesnt mean that the Flash Image GUI caused that.
Even if you tried flashing the same kernel via fastboot boot recovery.img above the same ROM.......the result will be same i.e bootloop/htc screen.
LAF NUKER wipes your Download mode and let you use Fastboot instead.:
Do this on your own responsibility, if you bricked your phone in some weird way then don't look at me.
But with this simple thing you can't brick your phone only if you flashed the wrong zip which wasn't from me.
This is more meant for developers/testers.

I was getting irritated that my Fastboot mode dissapeared everytime when I flashed some lollipop stock based rom as those all included bootloader files, so I had to first attempt to get into the rom itself or recovery to wipe it again over and over. So I thought by myself why won't I make something easy and flashable?
This lightweight flashable zip from 2-4KB is tested by me multiple times so after you flashed it I HIGHLYsuggest that you need to test or you can enter download mode and see if it shows now fastboot. If so then everything succeeded like it should, it has an succes rate of 100% as nothing could actually go wrong with this.
This script/method should also work for the G3 and some other LG devices which have this partition:
Code:
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf
For the one's who care the shell script is located in the update-binary, updater-script is just dummy.
If you want to revert back, just flash the jb/kk/lp bootloader files.

I experienced once already when it was stuck, recovery kinda screwed up and modified stock rom didn't wanted to boot anymore and I just flashed a new recovery through fastboot mode and it worked properly. I am also still flashing test kernels through fastboot as I am used to that coming from the Nexus family.
This is also more meant for the real flashaholics and or developers as I experienced many times already on my G2 that download mode didn't worked after flashing several stock roms. So this is especially for the people who also face the same issue as me with download mode and who wants to have an backup if something would go wrong. Maybe I could also make later something like savoca made with autoboot but then on the download mode partition with option to boot into download mode or fastboot. But that would probably take some time to make it and I am not sure whats the size of the other available partitions.
Fastboot supports kdz files? As I use Google Nexus, Fastboot supports img files. So how are we gonna flash kdz files when we use Fastboot?
But you can extract files from kdz. And flash them on fastboot.
yes @ceza1380 just like kimitza said you have to extract the images but I am not sure or you are able to flash all the images through fastboot. What you could do is flash with fastboot recovery and download a flashable stock rom or just the bootloader files and flash it through the recovery.
I recently bought an unlocked Moto G Play 2021 with the intent of learning how to flash custom rom's etc. The steps I've done so far are below.
Went to Motorola's site and got the code to unlock the bootloader
Waited for the "OEM Unlock" button to be available in the Developer Options menu.
Followed the directions Here to try to get an unofficial version of TWRP installed.
when I type fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img Using the vbmeta.img from the link above, I get some kind of anti-rollback error and can't boot to recovery.img
So far, what I've found says I need to be on Android 10 for this to work but I can't find a stock rom of Android 10 for this device. Electimon posts AOSP builds for this phone Here so I assume there's a way to get this to work, I just don't know what it is and I've gone through these threads a few times now and can't piece it together. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Additionally, thanks Electimon for doing those AOSP builds.
Try to download Miracle Thunder Modified (Withouth Box) like there are other tools, but if not, just try to root. kind of for you to root, download the TWRP app and install or use Flashify to flash img using root

I'm not sure entirely what happened, but after I used the TWRP app my phone bricked and I had to use the Lenovo rescue app on my pc to factory reset it.
First update your phone
Then download twrp from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...st-port-but-everything-works-amazing.4330775/
Then adb reboot bootloader
Then fastboot flash recovery MotoGuamnaFixed2.img
then you have twrp installed then you can go thru the steps at

Thank you for the response!
I made sure my phone was on wi-fi and checked for updates. I then rebooted to fastboot and flashed recovery to the MotoGuamnaFixed2.img. I still got a blank screen when I tried to reboot to recovery. I then rebooted to fastboot manually and did
fastboot flash recovery_a MotoGuamnaFixed2.img
fastboot flash recovery_b MotoGuamnaFixed2.img
It said ok both times, and when I try to reboot to recovery, I get a blank screen that I can't interact with. Pressing the power and volume buttons does nothing. Rebooting and letting the phone go through the boot process, to include waiting for the warning about the unlocked bootloader to go away results in a blank screen.
I also tried booting to fastboot and selecting "Recovery Mode" from the fastboot menu. Same result. That being said, I followed the instructions in the second link anyway, which are
fastboot -w
fastboot update (filename).zip
Now my phone has a blank screen I cannot interact with, but when I type "adb devices" I see the phone. Typing "adb shell ls -l" shows there is definitely a file structure there.
Just download the rom for the version that your device is unzip it and manual flash each one to the correct spot except recovery flash the twrp and then reboot and let me know look at flash file.xml to see where to flash each IMG and bin to make shur you download your rom and not another one for the same device but different carrier what it sounds like to me is happening is you downloaded the wrong ROM when you tried to do a force update
Send me a screenshot of your about device screen please I might need to make a change to a few things to get it working
I'm stuck in a boot loop right now. WIll the output from fastboot getvar work?
What carrier do you have
Download your rom first then follow my last post to get it back out of a bootloop

It's an unlocked phone, no carrier, no SIM. I did the factory reset with the Lenovo rescue tool and sent you the screen shot of the device info page.
Update - svoc has spent a crap ton of his personal time trying to help me with this. I've learned a bunch and wanted to publicly acknowledge his willingness to go way above and beyond trying to get this working.
I don't understand why I can't get twrp to boot I'm not for shut what the problem is if any one has any idea please let me and I will try
Big thanks to svoc for all the phone calls and troubleshooting my device, that is apparently possessed by at least 3 demons and a donkey. There are two links below. The first is the link to the intstructions that worked.
The second is to the compressed file that gave me a degoogled android. It's really, really basic and you'll have to side load the app store of your choice onto the device but it works.
*NOTE* I have not used a sim card or tested the cellular capability. If you do the things below and it doesn't work, reboot to bootloader and flash the radio.img with the one from your stock rom, which can be obtained from lolinet.
Any custom ROMs out there for Moto g play 2021 (guamna)?
Can't find any custom ROMs for this device. I guess it is too early. I'll probably have to get another phone. Can't even find a twrp for it. New to this. Any suggestions?

Yes, Im stuck. Im on realme 5i and I flashed PixelExperience+ with TWRP, clean flash, made sure to wipe data and clear cache before and after flashing. I rebooted and boom, stuck on fastboot/bootloader. I can't go back to recovery mode or to system, it just takes me back to fastboot/bootloader. I backed up my files btw.
Supposed fixes that did not work:
1: Fastboot erase boot && fastboot erase dtbo && fastboot erase recovery && fastboot erase vbmeta && fastboot erase system && fastboot erase userdata and fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img && fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img && fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img && fastboot reboot-bootloader.
- it brings me back to fastboot when I try to go to recovery mode.
2: Push volume down/up and power button.
- it brings me back to fastboot when I try to go to recovery mode. (2)
3: flash stock recovery (I can't go to recovery so I cant flash stock ROM too)
- it brings me back to fastboot when I try to go to recovery mode. (3)
What else do I do? Am I missing something from the fixes I've tried above?? I am in need of urgent help.
Update: I've tried realme flash tool, for stock ROM and it says cannot find central directory.
I've tried putting the ofp to AppData/Roaming/flashtool/temp as said from another thread. I've also tried running in administrator but none work. I've ran out of luck today, please help.
Phone: Realme 5i
Story: I had my phone get a custom recovery, TWRP. Got it rooted. Before I rooted it I rolledback to android 9, ColorOS, bw. Then decided why not use a custom ROM? So I did. PixelExperiencePlusEdition ANDROID 12. I flashed it with TWRP, factory reset and cleared cache, in other words, clean flash. I'm hopeless cause once I rebooted, I got sent to fastboot then when I tried to go to recovery mode, it sends me back to fastboot! What do I do? I need help. please.
Update: So maybe I am doing the 1st method wrong. I got all the img files wrong, cause I need them from my stock firmware right? So I tried programs to extract those img from their new.dat.br files right? I did and the extractors keep giving me something is missing, line this and that is incorrect or something like that. I'm really hopeless. Can someone give me the img files of RMX2030EX_11_OTA_0210_all_1hZhuZlgVC1t? system.img, boot.img, vendor.img, vbmeta.img, dtbo.img? What else am I missing to manually flash it?
I am facing the same issue as well, I had downloaded the RMX2030EX_11_C.75_210917_1b9832bb file and extracted using https://github.com/bkerler/oppo_decrypt but the first method still didn't work. was is the wrong file? or did the decryptor didn't work properly idk.

I can't find a file on realme software page with this name where did you get the file? plus does your variant has Qualcomm or Mediatek CPU? I saw a video where it stated that this phone has two variants one with Qualcomm and other with Mediatek(Helio) CPU.
Edit: Do an MD5 check maybe your file got corrupt..
I managed to fix, you will need download these files from telegram. one of them should work for me the ColorOS file worked. Follow the instruction given in the readme file and that should do. I am installing DotOS now it showing the splash animation from last 5 minutes, if it works i'll update the comment or will provide further instructions to fix.
FastbootFix-Realme-5-5i-5s~RUI.zip
FastbootFix-Realme-5i~Color OS.zip
Edit: the reason it was taking so long to bootup and was stuck on splash animation is that I forgot to format (type yes).

I got it from this:
This is what I used to rollback to android 9 cause another video said I had to do this first before rooting. It worked though then custom ROM happened and now phone's bricked. Hasn't been used ever since.
I'll do MD5 if your fix didn't work.
Hey um, Im a turtle and Im reading the .txt from the link you gave the color os one specifically. So Im at the step where I have to Double Click "Open This to Proceed" file to start the process. What is this "Open This to Proceed" exactly?
Edit: Never mind. I should've looked more before asking..

Now if you want to flash the stock rom you will have to flash firmware first.
flash fw c.xx
wipe 5
flash rom
flash vbmeta disabler
format (type yes)
reboot
You can download the firmware file form here. https://github.com/realme-trinket-organization/firmware_files_RMX1911/releases and the vbmeta disabler from here. https://t.me/r5notes/52

I only got to step one which you said to get firmware and flash it. I flashed it and my phone rebooted but it keeps restarting. I can still flash images but I cant seem to fix this "reboot loop" and the tool you gave doesnt fix it either. What Im guessing is C73 isnt my firmware version since this phone is years old? Do you know how to delete the firmware so maybe the tool you gave me would work again and I can start over once more?
Edit: Im once again stuck in fastboot btw.
Edit: I fixed the rebooting loop with the stock recovery.bat from the file you gave me but when I do the "open this to proceed" it goes back to rebooting automatically. I still want to remove the C73 firmware though.
hi, I was hoping somebody could help me, I misunderstood the instructions I was reading to try and boot into twrp after unlocking my phone successfully and I did something wrong and used the fastboot command for flash booting twrp.img on the zip file instead of the img file. I can't find any sort of stock img or recovery img for my phone online and now my phone won't boot or use recovery mode. It's a new phone and I was just hoping to customize it some more than was available on the stock device, it's a Motorola g power 2022. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this, just so it will power on again because I'm really upset and feel stupid. I had just spent hours trying to figure this out and wasn't thinking towards the end and made a mistake, I hope the phone isn't ruined now but I don't know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I fixed it, if anyone has this problem just search for the lenovo rescue tool. it allowed me to flash boot recovery stock rom onto my device again without even using the recovery mode or fastboot commands. It is very helpful.
