Hi everyone, I need help (if possible).
I have a Moto Z version Xt1650-05 sheridan (Chinese version) with Android Oreo and I'm going to sell it.
A few months ago, trying to unlock the bootloader and install the TWRP, I realized I had made a mess.
I was unable to install TWRP, I don't think I have unlocked the bootloader and I deleted the Recovery stock.
In fact, trying to enter recovery mode to do a hard reset, the phone freezes on the logo of the green robot of Adroid with "No Commands" under it.
So I ask you: is there a way to restore the original Recovery Mode? Or: is it possible to do a hard reset from a Windows 10 PC?
Please help me because I have sensitive (bank) data and documents on my phone and I would like to make sure everything gets deleted before I sell it.
Please also explain to me in an easy and detailed way the procedure to follow because (as you have already understood) I understand little of these things.
(Sorry for my bad English. Thank you.) :angel:

There's no problem with your recovery, at the no command screen you need to press and release volume down or up + power, unfortunately I don't remember the exact order to press because I use twrp a long time, but it's very easy maybe you can search google or xda to know the keys. Your recovery is FINE.

As previously stated I am a complete noob when it comes to flashing android devices.
Here is the problem I am faced with: I recently rooted, and unlocked the bootloader on my atrix hd (ATT)
Since then I tried installing cm10.1 multiple times on the secondary "Rom slots" within the bootloader, without any success. So I finally decided to go for it and install cm10.1 in the "stock rom" slot, Prior to doing this I did a back-up using Rom manager. Aand now I seemingly can't even boot into recovery mode, every time I restart my device it simply goes to the cyanogenmod blue ring thingy and gets stuck! (I have left it for 15-20 mins thinking it might be some kind of installation process..) But apparently it's not and i've broken my smartphone lol. Anyway i'd really appreciate some help fixing this problem, a step-by step guide would probably work best..!!! I have both windows 8 and Ubuntu installed on my pc, just saying..Don't know if it's relevant information and may simplify fixing my problem...Thanks in advance guys and girls
i've even tried holding down all three physical buttons and it simply takes me back to the same screen!!!
you could try something like this:

Hey guys, please forgive me for any bad etiquette or lack of information (any information I can provide is available upon request if I leave anything out). I am new to forums in general and especially to XDA, which seems like a good place to get help.
I recently purchased a Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet from Craigslist under the assumption it was a fully unlocked tablet not associated to a carrier. Turns out it was a Verizon Z2 tablet. I dislike Verizon with a firey passion and without getting into too many details, I'm fairly certain they won't help me because a) this tablet wasn't purchased through them as a customer and b) Verizon and I have bad history (unauthorized account modification, shady charges, etc.)
So I thought I'd do my best to make the tablet mine since the asshole who sold it to me has ceased all contact and I don't know how to get a hold of him anymore. No receipt and a data-less tablet.
Anyway, I successfully rooted the tablet and began installing apps that I installed for my G4 when I rooted it (SuperSU, Adaway, Greenify, etc.)
Things were going well but I realised I wanted anything that had to do with Verizon removed from the tablet so I was going to flash Cyanogenmod onto it with a guide I found online. Now rooting and installing custom recoveries was familiar territory and I did these flawlessly. It had TWRP and I made a backup of the system -no Nandroid, sadly-and I began the flashing process. The process said it completed without issue and I went to reboot my device. Enter my current situation:
The device, when I attempted to turn it on, all it did was vibrate constantly until I let go of the power button. Attempting to enter recovery mode (green LED, power + vol down) it showed me, instead of TWRP, a very basic recovery mode with basic options. "Continue booting up", "enter safe mode", "system recovery", and "power down". I tried entering safe mode and it just shut back down, I tried doing a system recovery and it shut down. The only time I ever see the "SONY" logo is if I'm entering this mode. I can enter what I assume is "fastboot mode" (power + vol up and plugging the device into a PC). Nothing on the screen but the LED is blue. I am trying to find guides to restore it if I can and it all looks promising but the only things I know how to really do are root and install custom recovery. I know there are PC tools I can use to send commands to it while it's in fastboot, or send commands in general I just don't know where to begin.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I know it was from Verizon, which sucks, and I know the problem most likely occurred with the attempted flashing of Cyanogenmod. I think I read somewhere I might have done something regarding mismatching kernal numbers. I couldn't find a way to unlock the bootloader so I assume that had something to do with it too.
If someone could give me a guide to restore it to at least its stock ROM where I can begin rooting and installing a custom recovery again, that would be great. Even better would be just flashing a ROM on there that doesn't need Verizon or being able to take it to a stage where it's unlocked and the only evidence it was ever with a carrier is the Verizon logo on the back. I'd really hate to think I wasted money on this and now I'm at a dead end because of a mistake I made. This was supposed to be a gift for my mom on her birthday which is coming up soon. So if anyone knows anything, or has a guide where we can at least get the thing bootable again and I'll just try and deal with a rooted locked device, that would be great.
Thanks for considerations,

I have spent time on that screen too.
2 things
1. .. If you installed dual recovery, there is an up, down sequence to select the recovery.
2. Find a downgrade guide, use flashtool to flash. Ft back to stock.
Also you need to know what hardware you are running..511, 561.. And use the proper version.
There are some options with the flashtool and prf maker that can remove branding and vendor stuff. I have not tried those options.

Sorry if this is late... But where can I find the stock? I've searched everywhere and I would need to do it from a flash tool on my PC? I could use all the help I can get.
I just had a very similar experience to the OP, seemingly identical in every way, and am curious if anyone has a solution.
ADB won't function at all, and the bootloader has blocked any sort of flashing via fastboot. Can't boot into TWRP, it goes into a very minimal "recovery," which I imagine is the stock tool, and the Factory Restore option there does absolutely nothing. Flashtool would work great if ADB / Flashmode was at all functional (device blinks and vibrates in a fashion typical of something bricked, and no connection is picked up).
Verizon Z2 Tablets are 561s.
This thing dead or is there some way to push back onto it?
Hello guys, I really hope you could help me on this one, I screwed up really really bad.
Let me explain the problem, I wanted to be a smart ass, and install an unofficial version of Nougat, and I succeeded, but then I wanted to remove it because I wasn't satisfied of it.
So I went on recovery mode and "accidentally" erased everything... I said that I screwed up ok, at leat I'm aware of it haha
So now my problem is that my phone is completely empty, cant get into recovery mode, only in fastboot mode, adb and fastboot don't recognize my phone, and that's logical because there is nothing in it.
So, is my phone completely dead, or is there a way to put the original os in it?
Thank you guys so much for helping me, i'm desperate...
PS/ I know this is probably the wrong category for this topic, but since it's my firt post, I hope you could understand, appreciate
did you install all the needed oneplus drivers to your computer in order to recognize it? If that's your problem, then you could flash twrp onto your phone and get stock OOS back.

The thing is, my phone is detected by my PC, as Kedacom USB Device > Android Bootloader Interface.
I tried to follow the guide from page 1, but since my phone is not detected as Qualcomm whatever, I don't if I can follow this procedure.
And also, when I turned on my phone, I juste have the logo One plus and Power by Android. If i try a recovery mode reboot, it's same screen, over and over. The only thing I can get into, is the FastBoot mode, by holding Volume up + Power, but I don't know if I can do anything with it, because even in this mode, adb won't recognize it.
Oh guys, I badly need your experties. Just as I have in the title, I have a rooted Meizu M5 Note. I rooted the phone believing that I can do much more if it is rooted. But in 6 months of trying to understand what I can do with this said rooted phone, I realized now that there are not much to do with it... Probably because of the brand, so I decided to unroot
The rooting process was from here: giving me error so if requested, i'll give the link.
I have an Android build 7.0.0.0
So here is my issue:
In the same site, I found that I can unroot.. yes, UNROOT the rooted model of phone using superSU by going to its Settings and clicking unroot (or Unroot all something..). It took a bit while, so I decided to restart the device. Yes, while SuperSU was trying to unroot my phone.
Upon restart, it now could not boot.
I allowed 30 minutes, the screen only shows Flyme logo with a spinning circle. So from here, I made up my mind to perform the factory reset/restore:
Turned off Phone > Press and hold Power key + Volume Up... until I reach the screen with options to:
-Update system.
-Wipe data.
I selected Wipe data, for it will reset the system settings. It will now show the
"Wiping data.
Please dont turn off the phone, or it may fail to boot"
It will only last for 2 seconds - and will then again reboot and stop in Flyme logo with a never ending spin below.
_________________
It was already the factory reset, which I thought should help, but it wont work.
_________________
Things I tried:
- Used ADB to flash an offcial update rom from the flymeos.com, but the ADB Flashtool would not read the device because the USB Debugging is turned OFF.
- Googling any possible solutions, but cannot find any - nor any known programs that will allow me to read the not booting phone.
- Fast boot or safe mode, which only wont proceed.
- The Recovery Menu (the un-clickable one) must be locked by the manufacturer.
Can anyone please tell me:
- Is there anyway I can access the phone's drive so I can put the Update zip folder, which will help me to use the 1st recovery option "Update system"??
- Do you have any software that can help me enable the USB debugging when the phone wont boot at all??
Thanks guys..
All the help I can get will be best appreciated.
I tried posting this to forum.FlymeOS, but no one seems to have any interest on helping.
It is now you, that i think can help.
This is my Only phone, and cant afford to lose it...
Same issue with my Meizu M5 Note. I tried a tutorial on how to unlock it's bootloader. But after going through the first step, the SP Flash tool showed some error on how it does not turn on our go recover mode or anything... In really sad
Somebody please help!

Hi,
I tried rooting my Nord 2, but managed to screw it up somewhere. I followed the usual stepw to do this, but the first time I was unable to use my wifi/bluetooth/gps. My phone was/is at the A1 EU. Version. I tried fixing the problem, but made things worse. Now I am stuck in the red dot boot logo and after a while I get to the TWRP screen. From there I can still fastboot. I tried restoring my phone from there, but without any luck. Can someone help me fix my phone ? At this point I don't even care that much anymore about rooting my phone, i just want to be able to use it again.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I had the same issue, but without switch to TWRP screen, just stays on red dot boot logo and that was all. The solution for me was format of the storage with stock recovery. In your case you may follow the instructions below:
1. Boot in bootloader (volume down + power on)2. Flash the stock recovery3. Reboot to recovery4. Select English, after that Wipe and Format storage (the phone will reboot automatically after success)
Best regards and good luck!

Did you try to format data via twrp and then restart?
