Moto E 2015 Freedompop LTE with No OS - E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Acquired a free Moto E 2015 2nd Edn. LTE Freedompop with TeamWin Recovery TWRP v2.8.7. reporting, " "No OS Installed!" A normal boot will produce a quick vibrate and then the blue earth/water M logo on a white screen with "Powered by Andorid" at the bottom, which fades to black about one minute in, and then this loops indefinitely. To get out of this loop, I hold Power down about 10 seconds, the screen goes black, I release Power, wait a half a second then press and hold Power and VOL-. This brings up "Start" and some data like "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)" and "Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3"
Pressing VOL- (or VOL+) cycles thru "Restart bootloader," "Recover mode," "Power off," "Factory," "Barcodes," "BP tools," "Qcom," "Bootloader logs".
It never had an SDcard, and when hooked up to a laptop, I get "Surnia" device, with the TWRP folder. I put ROM .zips here, but TWRP can not see this folder (I can't find it, anyways). So I put in an SDcard, copied files there, and when I try to install, TWRP fails for any ROM I've tried, such as CM 11, GApps, and XT1526_SURNIA_ACG_LTE_5.1_LPI23.29-20_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip.
Since I can't boot in to any OS, I can't set any settings beforehand.
Help? Ask me anything. Thanks!!

You shouldn't flash the Stock ROM zip in TWRP recovery. Follow this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...e-restore-moto-e-2015-stock-firmware-t3044936) and use the same Stock ROM zip to flash your phone back to stock. Once you are done with that, I can help you flash any Custom ROM you want.

[Q] Lost Root Access during ROM upgrade??

Been booting into SDC Recovery to change ROMs successfully before, but recently after the data/factory reset, rom install (from zip), gapps install (from zip) and then to power off, I encounter this issue -- WHEN I SELECT POWER OFF, IT SAYS ROOT ACCESS is missing. ROTT DEVICE? AND GIVES ME AN OPTION of YES - ROOT DEVICE (/system/xbin/su).
Regardless of whether I select YES or NO, it immediately powers off. When powered back up, it says it is booting (INT BOOT) on the Cyanoboot screen, then the screen goes blank. It never gets to the blue Cyanogenmod screen now. I know its still running because I can see the very faint lit up screen before I am forced to do a press/hold power down.
I get the same reaction if I select Reboot instead of Pwer Off.

Phone can only enter fastboot mode, everything else it gets stuck booting.

Hi guys,
I was following various guides on here to install the cyanogenmod 11.0 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-0-t2626639 and I have run into an issue.
I put the gapps zip and the ROM zip into the internal storage of the phone. I then typed "fastboot flash boot boot.img" into cmd and that went OK. When that was done, I did "fastboot reboot." The phone then showed the Sony logo screen (although it is different from the one I am used to seeing - it shows XPERIA STE at the bottom, but I assume this is normal?), then this screen turned off and on again repeatedly. I then mashed the volume up key and eventually it entered into the CWM recovery. I then selected to install the ROM zip, it did some loading and installing and stuff, as expected. The same Sony XPERIA STE screen came on again, and keeps turning on and off. This time however, I cannot get into CWM recovery mode.
If I hold the power button and volume up, it vibrates once, then the screen comes on and off again. If I hold the power button and volume up, wait for the single vibration and keep holding, it vibrates three times and is then completely off. If i plug it into the computer, the screen comes on and off. If I plug it into the computer and hold the volume up, it enters fastboot mode without trouble.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Press the power button repeatedly to enter TWRP recovery. Then, wipe everything except sd card/internal storage. Then, install the rom as usual.

Stuck in "Entering Recovery..."

I tried installing TWRP after turning off the bootloader. I clicked on Recovery in the Fastboot and now it's stuck in "Entering Recovery...". The phone restarts with that screen every few seconds. Holding power+volume down doesn't do anything (unless I'm not timing it right). What can I do?

I know this is late, but I just went through the same damn thing. Twrp 3.1.0.0 forces a recovery loop, install 3.0.0.2 instead.
As soon as you see the "entering recovery" screen, hold volume up and power until your phone restarts. (If it goes back to recovery, wait until it loops and do it again) as soon as your screen goes black from the hard restart, hold volume down and power to boot into your phone regularly.
After your phone boots, use the twrp app to install the previous version of twrp. (Like I said, avoid 3.1.0.0 like the plague. I've already brought this issue up with the recovery handler, hopefully it gets resolved.)

There is an alternative that I've found very useful. And have tested it out several times while attempting to in-OS factory reset. If you're stuck on the 'loading recovery' screen and it continuously reboots, perform the following steps.
1. Press the Power button and Volume Up button at the same time, and keep held for 10 seconds until the screen has gone off.
2. Once you know it's gone off, quickly switch from Volume Up to Volume Down, keep held down.
-This should let you be able to enter into the Bootloader menu. From there, you will require Minimal ADB/Fastboot installed on your computer. Opening up an administrative command prompt within the ADB folder by pressing down Shift and right clicking on the window of the folder(or in my case since Windows 10's new update no longer opens that up, instead opens PowerShell, copy and past cmd.exe from System into that folder (DO NOT CUT AND PASTE, OR DRAG AND DROP)), type in the following.
fastboot devices
-If your device shows up in this list, then you're good to go. Head over to the TWRP website and find your HTC 610 TWRP version, or do as I do and just select 2.8.4.0 and download it.
-Rename the downloaded file as "twrp.img" and drag it into the ADB/Fastboot folder in which you loaded up the cmd prompt from before.
-Next, back to the command prompt you loaded earlier (if you haven't closed it by now) and type in the following:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
-This should copy the file over to your device. After this is completed, go ahead and reboot or boot into recovery. This last option I've not attempted immediately after flashing TWRP back to the main system, but that's because I'm working with an older version of CW12.

Just holding volume up and power worked for me.After the splash screen appears continue holding volume up but let go of power and it will boot I to go.e screen as usual.I then just used the twrp app and flashed 3.0.2.0

Huawei P20 Lite stuck on loading recovery

I was trying to root my p20 lite on EMUI 9.1 so I flashed the patched recovery ramdisk, rebooted then typed "adb reboot recovery", but it wouldn't load. So I forcereseted the phone but it came to the same screen "your device has been unlocked" and "Your device is booting now" no options to press power to boot or erecovery. So I tried flashing the original ramdisk but it would still never load, and trying "fastboot reboot bootloader" didn't help either. I can't boot into system I can only go into fastboot mode.
edit: adb detects my device but rebooting into system command still reboots into recovery
edit 2: my phone has bootloader unlocked
edit 3: here is the phone log https://drive.google.com/file/d/19MNYSdI5gkzlAti2wVhsGuc8v6iAWaG6/view?usp=sharing
Connect phone to charger
Press and hold power button only
Keep it pressed till phone boots into 3 option scream, 1 press vol up 3 sec for e recovery, 2 press power to enter system, 3 do nothing 5 sec
Release power button, wait
Shoulda enter e recovery
Press reboot and wait
Shoulda reboot to system, root will not work, but phone will work
If want to start with root, you need to relfash system using dload package or hisuite update, otherwise your phone still will be stucked , so need fresh system files
I don’t get the three options. Only the your device is booting now. Rebooting via adb just reboots into the same thing.
edit: let the battery drain and now it is working again
Same, loading screen but nothing.

Help! Xiaomi Mi A3 not booting! Can i boot from my sd card?

Hello! i don't know how but my rooted Mi A3 last night decided on its own to update to Android 10. So i woke up with all of mine Magisk magic all gone. I tried to root again but my phone is stuck on the 'Mi' boot screen.
So here's the situation:
if i press volume up + power button, instead of entering recovery mode the "no Command" screen shows up;
if i try to fastboot, my pc doesn't recognize anymore my device;
There is any another way to enter recovery mode? Can i flash a boot image on a sd card? Do i have to throw away my beloved xiaomi?
You have most probably incompatible Magisk module which prevents phone from booting Android 10. Flash stock boot image to get phone working (fastboot should work, double check your drivers etc.).
Or perform factory reset from stock recovery:
"If presented with an image of a broken Android with "No Command" shown on the screen, do the following:
- Press and hold the Power button.
- While holding the Power button press the Volume Up button then release the Volume Up button then the Power button."
