Unable to boot to custom ROMs - Moto Z Questions & Answers

So I tried installing OmniROM & LineageOS on my Moto Z. With OnmiROM, it won't boot at all. It just gets stuck at boot logo. With LineageOS, it would reboot back to recovery.
Anyone experienced this before?

I'd do a fresh install of twrp, format data then flash latest lineage from an external SD card. It's helped me in the past.

Thanks a lot for this tip!
I only managed to successfully install Omni 8.1 for Griffin when installing it from the internal storage. When installing from SD Card LineageOS 16 nightly worked out perfectly.

Did that. Still bootlooping

I don't know if this is an issue, but /vendor can't be formatted.
"Unknown filesystem 'squashfs'"

same for me, can't install custom roms (i came from stock 8.0), i tried with omnirom 9.0 and lineage 16 (twrp 3.3.1.0), it's alway stuck on boot. If you have any idea what i could do please tell me

Any idea where to get the latest stock firmware?

This is what and how i did to get back to stock oreo ! and to my surprise now am able to flash any custom Rom
1. Yes from this link download the oreo firmware
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/stock-moto-z-8-0-firmware-t3805226
2 .Now uzip it in your Minimal adb and fastboot tool folder
3 .Now use the following commands to flash it in cmd mode
fastboot devices
fastboot.exe oem lock begin
fastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
fastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.10
fastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.11
fastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.12
fastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.13
fastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.14
fastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot.exe erase modemst1
fastboot.exe erase modemst2
fastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot.exe erase cache
fastboot.exe erase userdata
fastboot reboot
5. If your does not reboot ( Mine Did Not ) then get back into " Bootloader Mode " and flash twrp
6. Now boot to Twrp >Go to WIPE and >FORMAT DATA > Then Reboot back to twrp recovery
7. Format Everything and then boot to BOOTLOADER and flash the stock firmware againg using cmds
8. It will work ( it worked for me ) it should work

This is a 100% stock FIRMWARE dump after the Feb 1st 2016 OTA. It includes everything a normal FIRMWARE zip has, except for the bootloader. I cannot figure out how to dump the bootloader.....yet. I tested this multiple times with no issues. You will also notice there is only one system.img instead of the multiple system_sparsechunk files like the old FIRMWARES. It is in sparse format, just one file now. This is how Motorola is doing it. Flash it via:
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
You may notice a "sparse header error" when flashing at the beginning. Don't worry about it, all is well. The current AutoFlashFirmware.bat file doesn't work with this Firmware file. Flash the files manually!

I plan on cooking just stock roms. Have little time to even do that, but I find them useful most of the time. You can mirror whatever you'd like.
The modified logo.bin inside of the zip has the unlocked bootloader screen removed, and the normal stock "locked bootloader" screen in it's place.
Nice post it when you have recovery flash able stock from

Will you create one for Moto X Style version (EU) too?

If and when I can get the firmware, definitely. Took me forever to get this firmware since I could not dump it from my device like normal. Never had an issue before with taking dumps?:laugh::silly:
Oh snap stock goodness

Currently working on the updater-script, my arch nemisis. Hopefully if all goes well I'll have it up tonight/tomorrow. After the unrooted stock from is done, I'll rock out a stock rooted....possibly with some debloat/enhancements.

Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:good::good::good::good::good:
I appreciate the help very much! I'm gonna give it a try and see.
I see that I didn't close it now. I built about 10 of these....so I probably thought I had it closed in this one like the others.
And I thought we were supposed to leave one blank line at the end?
Update...... I got the installer-script figured out. It flashed, but after sitting at the splash screen for a little bit it rebooted into recovery....?
I'm lost at this point. I'm gonna try to do a system dump from my device and build it that way (the way I'm used to) instead of they way I built it from the Firmware. The tool I used may have had something to do with it?

Bootloop on any Surnia ROM

so I was using cm12.1 and decided to update to latest nightly build but after that, I've experienced bootloop, after restoring to my previous ROM and download the whole Nightly ROM and flashed it, my phone bootloops. used other ROM's but bootloop persist, anyone can help me?

If your phone runs fine after restoring your previous ROM, whatever your flashing must be bad or wrong for your phone.
If you cannot get your phone running with a restore, hopefully you can get into the bootloader.
If you can get into the bootloader (volume down and power buttons, which brings you to AP Fastboot Flash Mode), you can flash a factory image, assuming there is a good one out there for your phone. I flashed a factory image a couple of days ago on a Moto E 2015 for a friend, and it is working fine. There are a number of threads / links to flashing factory images for the Moto E 2015.

I have to same problem. What 'factory rom' did you use to fix it?
edit 1:
I did install cm-12.1-20151226-NIGHTLY-surnia using this TWRP version and everything was fine.
I could start and restart my phone without any problems. After adding some google apps and installing some CW-themes I decided to reboot.
After that: boot loop!
So far I have Tried the following things without success:
- TWRP factory reset
- reinstall cm
- install older version CM (nightly build 20151224)
- reinstall cm using cm-recovery instead of TWRP
- removing external SD-card
- advanced flash wipe
- some more re-installation of CM
- installed a factory ROM (I guess?? ) AOSP-5.1.1-20150921-surnia-jenkins-dual-28 )
Nothing helped so far. The "Fix permissions" and "Fix SELinux" options in TWRP are getting tempting. but I suppose this might be dangerous to use.
Anyone some tips?
edit 2:
It seems to be fixed now. I'm not sure how I did it though.
I've tried multiple things in different sequence and ended with installing some of the following stuff
[ROM] Boost Moto E 2015 LTE Stock 5.1 (LPI23.29-18-S.11) Unmodified & Deodexed
Before that I flashed multiple files from the following zip-file to my phone (I suppose this is relevant as well):
"XT1524_SURNIA_RETEU_5.1.1_LPI23.72-66_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip"

Use a SD card to flash the ROM using TWRP. Also check on TWRP that the internal and external memory are mounted.

Don't panic! As long as you can get to recovery or bootloader you aren't bricked
I would restore to stock and try everything again.

I went through the exact same thing, wipe the whole system out, couldn't reboot even after flashing another ROM, then I figured, the boot.img must have gone missing, so I just fastboot flash boot boot.img (the one from within the stock ROM), then the phone booted

Hello, can you give me the EU stock rom, and please for god's sake don't give me this file factory link because this website is downloading slower to force me to buy their premium ****, thanks.

Phone messed up.

Ok, i have unlocked bootloader, installed this rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/android-nougat-moto-z-versions-t3506342, added twrp via fastboot, rooted and so on.
Everything worked like a charm.
Than yesterday I got this update notification (from nplp 25.86-15 to nplp 25.86 -17-3; something about fixing notification sound - about 500mb). I thought what the hell lets try it - ended up in boot loop to recovery(twrp).
After that I installed this rom (odexed version) https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/twrp-ported-to-moto-z-eu-version-t3470920.
Again I tried the update since it restored stock recovery - it went into the process and than reported some error.
Now, no matter what rom I install(those 2 and I tried cm14) phone acts messed up, it freezes and reboots when using it randomly and always reboots when screen goes to sleep 4 about 10 seconds.
I have also tried to install mm rom via twrp but ended up in recovery loop.
Any help is highly appreciated..
You need to flash back full stock ROM for your device. Had same issue. But that's if you are downgradable to MM roms

I tried with cm but it's not helping.
Phone is stable so far after that initial self-reboot; I'll wait 4 couple hours and if it stays stable returning to n version because mm is too big of a downgrade.
If it continues rebooting, well I guess I'll just bang my head on the wall few times) cause I am out of ideas..

Did you try what I posted above?
I have flashed nougat again after that and had one random reboot since. Don't like the fact that reboot happened but otherwise it feels stable and smooth.
Incomparable from what it was before-phone was unusable..
Ok now I have fully functional and stable Moto Z with rooted nougat (EU version).
Here is the receipt:

Hello @tafarelli what versiĆ³n bootloader have your ?? Very thanks
Downgrade the Nougat at Mm ?
Regards
I never upgraded to nougat through OTA but from fastbooting this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/android-nougat-moto-z-versions-t3506342
so I believe I still have mm bootloader.
If you have n bootloader than I guess(don't know) you will have to wait 4 stock nougat zip equivalent to (1) mm posted above..

It means when they put link for n factory image here
http://www.androidsage.com/2016/12/...ce-android-7-0-nougat-ota-and-factory-images/
(or elshewhere)
than you download it and fastboot stock n rom to repair your (I presume) damaged device.

Before you unlock:
Try fastboot "Boot" TWRP, if you can, it might be possible to use one of the TWRP backups to fix your phone. There is another thread with TWRP backups of stock.
If successful boot, restore system partition last and separately.
XT1710-09 bootloader unlocked, installed 9.0 without any issue! Everything ok with twrp-3.2.3-0-albus recovery, but got bootloop trying to root with Magisk 20.0. Any tip?

Phone is either not connected, or in the wrong mode.
Make sure the phone is in Boot Loader. Unplug and replug USB.

Yes, i tried both the US version and the Brazil version and the Brazil version works. I'm on Vodafone India and everything works perfectly fine on android pie.
However, after several trials and errors, I realized there are two commands that you shouldn't run when flashing pie on the Indian variant. They are:
1) flashboot erase userdata
2) flashboot erase carrier
Special Thanks to @Junior Passos

Why sure...
Step 1: you get yourself a usb cable.
Step 2: you plug one end into your computer.
Step 3: plug the other end into your phone..
