Hi all! I hope this is the right spot to post this. I'm looking to install a custom ROM onto my Moto E4 Plus (Owens XT1775), but I'm running into issues.
- Tried updating to a new version of TWRP, now it's saying I need a password to decrypt, and none of the tools I'm finding are helping
- Tried replacing TWRP with an older version, same issue happened
- Tried going back to a stock recovery but can't find any
- I really just want to a custom ROM on this thing >.>
Can someone point me in the right direction on figuring out my TWRP issues, even if it means starting all the way over? I've had TWRP and Magisk on here for more years than I care to count, so I don't even remember the version it was using. If anyone has recommendations on custom ROMs that would work on this device too, that's much appreciated.

Alright, so I found a guide that said factory reset from TWRP would help but now I can't boot into the OS at all, it keeps bringing me back to TWRP. I'm assuming I need a factory image to fix that but no luck finding one yet.
I have a file in my computer named OWENS_RETAIL_7.1.1_NPR26.58-25_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml. It's 1.3GB . Is that the stock rom that you are looking for?
I am looking for a guide to install custom rom into my Moto e4plus so I can install new versions of apps. Is that what you are doing? If so do you mind give me a few pointers once you are successful?
There are a lot of posts on here but I am confused as to which one to follow. My phone is rooted and is on service with Verizon and I don't want to lose either.
Thank you much!

I'd super appreciate the file! I'm not sure if it's exactly what I'm looking for but it wouldn't hurt to try. I'm having a hard time finding support for this specific model of device, but I know there are some unofficial ROMs that are floating around for the owens/1775 model.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rescue-and-smart-assistant-lmsa-motorola-lenovo-only.3951714/ This may have just saved my bacon, at least on the stock ROM part
Alright, so we're back to full stock, except now I cannot get my computer to recognize the device in fastboot... any ideas?

I know how to root my device by odin,first recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.tar.md5,then Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip.
So,my question is how to unroot my p7510 so that it act as a new one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
Thank you for your advice.
in fact,i had read that aritcle carefully：
“UNROOTING & RESTORING STOCK RECOVERY
1. Using CWM Flash the stock rom for your device. This unroots your device and basically makes it like a brand new tablet.
2. Use Odin to flash the stock recovery from the filesfordummies.zip.
3. Done, your device is exactly how it was when you picked it up. ”

but i still don't know what CWM is,and is it just an app?
and in the step 2,i don't know where to get filesfordummies.zip.
I want to unroot my tab also. I followed the instroctions and I downloaded a stock rom from Samfirmware.com. How I can flash it with Clockworkmod?

Can someone help me? How can I flash the stock rom with CWM?
i used the instructions in the post that is referenced to unroot. then i had numerous force close. sammy phone support suggested factory reset. i did that and it took me back to out of the box. it then did the minor update to UEKG4, but it won't recognize the TW update. They are wanting me to send it in, but I know it is something with software and I should be able to fix it.
No signs of SU, can't figure out why it won't recognize TW update. Thinking about going back to CWM Recovery to see if there are some advanced options that could help.
Hey ANthesca, I'm having the same problem. It looks like the custom stock rom we went back to is the I/O version, and that version never got the touchwiz update. This is my guess as to why we can't update to touchwiz, I'm pulling my hair out trying to find the official USA Stock rom for my tablet

Hello Guys,
I am not sure if it is allowed to make a new thread for noob questions.
Well, I just got my new Razr Maxx, It is on 65.1.40.XT910.AsiaRetail.en.03 rom.

I may be wrong on this,
But I believe that with the leaked OTA updates, you must have your phone unrooted and attempt to flash it using the stock moto recovery, not CWM.
Hopefully this helps....I am far off being an expert, but that would be my first point of call.

I tried it yesterday. Didn't work. I also tried resetting to factory settings and do the OTA. Didn't work either. But thanks anyway.
I don't know what's the problem. Considering I am on Asiaretail ... same rom for GB ... it should have been possible.
Any experts? or any one who faced the same thing?
I think you have to unroot the device and then flash the ics via recovery. I may be wrong though. I am in the same situation right now and have been reading on this for a little while. I haven't tried yet since i know Motorola's brick easily.

I had the exact same problem. Tore my hair out. I did this -
Flashed the fastboot files via RSD lite that was there in the AsiaRetail ICS OTA thread.
BUT
That flash is a PSHAsiaRetail version.
Go to the PSHAsiaRetail thread. Download that and update using that. Went through without a hitch. I was getting really frustrated when using all the files from the AsiaRetail thread, I was getting the same error, till I booted my new fastboot flashed ROM and saw that it was PSHAsiaRetail.
I might be wrong - but this is what worked for me. I must also mention, that my APN was not loading up automatically and I had to input it manually.
I have since then, flashed the EU ICS fastboot and thats working pretty snazzy for now!
Hey greyanaroth ... thanks a ton!! ...
I appreciate it!!
This really worked ...
I don't know why!! .. But it worked!!
Thanks for your help to get me ICS!!
No worries! Glad I could help.
BTW - for some reason, this build gave me a few problems - mobile network not working straight off the bat, for one - had to configure an APN for my network manually.
Unless you're attached to the Asia build (no reason for you to, as far as I've been able to deduce), might I reccomend flashing the EU ICS fastboot - it's running a lot better for me for some reason!
Ok, so I don't want to continue with this after I get some specified things in order to pursue the root methods.
My phone is Allview V2 viper x+ 3 gb ram bla bla (http://allview.ro/produse/telefoane/viper/v2-viper-x-plus-gold.html)
I'm backing up now few things and after that will backup the system files like recovery, imgs and more so, just for to be sure I have some back up in order to get it back to life if something gone's wrong.
I have 2 problems to solve with this phone.
1. After I changed my sd card to be the default internat storage for apps, everytime I try to install some app from market it's says something about hardwer is not compatible or something like this, but If i'll download the apk from some site (same apk) is working, well this is the first problem and is unsolved.
2.I want to have the phone rooted, I saw many posts with this method of supersu beta root and I have to flash some recovery img (I'm always trying and I see if is working, but I have a lot to save from my phone, so I'll have to wait to finish the full backup, reset the phone, get the sd card off and so on).
I tried to search a good version of TWRP for my phone, but I don't find any good compatbile.
My question for you is :
1.Did anybody had a successful root with this phone?
2.Which method is better to root an marshmallow? (6.0)
3.There is some recovery of twrp compatbile with this phone?
4.Does the ota update will work after the root process? (because I'm thinking that they could have some update to 6.0.1, but Idk when).
##Update##
I came back to previous version of 5.1 and root it and then I'll try the method from here with flashfire.
http://www.howtogeek.com/192402/why-androids-ota-updates-remove-root-and-how-to-keep-it/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
##Update-2##
Failed every method I tried.
- Failed installing custom recovery carliv, cwm, twrp (all failing, is not booting after flashing custom recovery, the only one who works is that carliv touch but if I install it, will not boot anymore)
- Failed kingroot (suppose to have some 6 method of rooting one click root)
- Failed flashing supersu, not working without a custom recovery .
- Tried to search for some custom rom to install with carliv, but I didn't find any good, all had errors that I didn't find to solve. and is crazy that I can't root the phone.
Note : What method remains?
If someone know..
##Update-3##
After many many unsucessful custom recoverys, successful bootloader unlock and many resets, didn't get any luck.
I'll remain on 5.1 till I have a clearly method of rooting the marshmallow without having to change the custom recovery, or maybe till I find a good custom recovery that works with anything I need.
Or till they update the android 6.0 to 6.0.1 (I saw that they have some root access option).
Maybe someday someone will text here with some method or similar, so I'll look here everyday till I find a way ;3
Ps. : Even if is a gionee s plus, the methods I saw for it, didn't worked aswell.
Cya.

Tried this too and voilla .. ..

##Final Update (Can close this)##
After a lot of of of of searching and mental stress and a lot of digging, I finally find a very one and good solution to get supersu flashed by a custom recovery.
For those who have problems like me and have same phone (Gionee Splus), follow this guide : https://atozhacks.blogspot.ro/2016/08/gionee-splus-marshmallow-philz-touch.html
I have posted about my problem in several threads now, but I didn't get an answer yet, so I hope I can finally save my phone with your help here... It's been a major pain the cojones for two weeks already.
In short, here is what happened:
I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and after flashing superSU (once I found out how to get into TWRP), I got a bootloop.
So I wanted to do a full wipe. But I messed up and wiped literally everything, even the OS
Then I went on to look for a stock ROM zip file. I found one, but I didn't read the whole article which said it was for H901. I installed it and found out it's branded T-mobile version on top of all.
Now I'm trying to get back to a H960A stock ROM, but no luck so far.
I have tried both methods from the LG V10 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ & TOT Method thread
Then there was a shed of hope when I stumbled upon this thread, where the OP managed to do the same
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/help/flashed-h901-h960-comrade-to-help-t3429025
I downloaded the modified Switzerland file mentioned in one of the comments, but it didn't do through for me.
I also tried to run the chkdzdev tool to change my EU version KDZ file, but agian, I got the same error (possibly I didn't do it right, since there is no manual whatsoever and the author doesn't reply)
Here is a screenshot of how it went:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So now, my only hope is to:
a) find a zip with H960A stock ROM (probably none exists on the interwebz)
b) find a TWRP backup that I can "revert" to (not sure if this would work, but if anyone would be so kind, I could find out...)
c) find someone who can modify the KDZ file and tell me how to do it
Anyone?

Try this. There is some instructions here that might be different from what you've been trying.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/guide-lg-v10-stock-firmware-to-stock-t3224170
It's saying after you load the firmware into LGUp, you have to close it and then open it again, select refurbish, and then make sure bin file is checked. Hopefully this can get you going. Good luck.

I've tried this one... it wouldn't even let me load the kdz file without doing this...
Problem is, the firmware version is coded somewhere deep in the file and it won't let me install it on a device that has a different version (unfortunately mine was overwritten by the stupid stock ROM i've managed to install)

can u give the boot.img file or full rom ?
I'm having the very same problem right now. I tried to root the device and everything worked well so far, but neither Wifi nor Bluetooth is getting activated. Changing to the other boot slot ended up in a boot loop back to fastboot.
@sadatkabir50 Where did you get the stock rom from or what was your approach to root the device?

Same problem. Everything working fine just Wi-Fi,camera,Bluetooth not working.
Which method did you use to root your device?
I'm following @halloweenm925's advice and downloaded the firmware for the EU version of the CPH2465 with a second device. How would you move forward if you had this file?
this boot img can boot ur phone but wifi and everything not working..
So I got the stock rom but neither the Wifi nor the Bluetooth is coming up. I'm kind of desperate right now. Can anybody support?

inbox me bro.. just now i fixed the problem
Solved the problem. Here is how I did it.
1) On a second Android phone, download the Oxygen Updater App
2) Open the app, set it to advanced settings, chose the device with the semi-bricked status, download the full zip
3) the zip file will be downloaded to sdcard's user root => transfer the zip file to your semi-bricked device
4) on your semi-bricked device, go to settings>updates, click on the top right three-point-menue and chose "local installation"
5) select the zip file and do the update
After the unpacking and verification is finished, reboot the phone and things should be back to normal.
If you want, you can now give the rooting a second try. There are a lot of tutorials, I used this one since I had the stock full rom:
Root OnePlus Nord CE 5G using Magisk [No TWRP Required]
Do you own a OnePlus Nord CE 5G android smartphone? If yes, today, we will share with you how you can Root OnePlus Nord CE 5G with the help of the Magisk
magiskapp.com
The full stock rom which is downloaded as described above needs to be extracted with the help of a script: as described here:
[LINUX][GUIDE] ROM Payload Image Dump
Now we have dumpers for Win/Mac/Linux! Great!
forum.xda-developers.com
So the steps to root the device would be
1) download the full rom as described above
2) extract the boot.img with the help of aforementioned python script
3) follow the steps as described in the tutorial linked above
I think what caused the initial issue on my side was that I simply was not on the same OS version on the device as the boot.img which I extracted from the full zip which is totally my own fault because almost every tutorial mentions it explicitly that you have to have the latest update on your to-be-rooted device AND make sure that you have the same ROM available to root your device.
Questions welcome!
