Good morning Guy,
i have a simple question that for me is not so simple because clearly i need some help. I have unlocked & rooted my tablet however now I get a notification for the Lollipop 5.0.1 OTA but when I try to install it and it reboots it then goes into the TRWP recovery mode and nothing else and if i choose to reboot from there the it reboots fine but without the upgrade. Any idea on how to fix this issue?

Just flash the system.img with fastboot.

They changed the way updating happens. If your rooted never plan on getting an OTA again

Is possible that the problem is because you have a Custom Recovery (TRWP) installed.
Try to flash the Recovery Stock, and then maybe OTA can be installed. If not, try to flash whole Factory Image.

Use winrar or 7-zip to extract it. Inside is a zip file, extract that too. There you will find the system.img

The you must extract .tar again. The you must use .bat or extract a .ZIP and then:
Code:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase vendor
fastboot erase userdata
pause
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
But with this, all your data will be erased.

I tried to flash a downgrade image to my moto e 2nd gen. Now Im stuck in bootloader and a warning message for unlocked bootloder. Ive tried to flash logo.bin, and other images aswell with no luck. It keeps asking me to install a valid signed images, I don't know where to find these images. Please help!
You need to do exactly what it's asking you to do - flash valid signed images. Which model do you have (XT152x)? Which region are you in? Which version were you downgrading from?
Just so you know, downgrading the stock ROM is very highly discouraged as it can cause bricking in certain circumstances. In particular, never try to downgrade the stock ROM when the bootloader is locked. You can try flashing back the upgraded images and seeing if your phone accepts them. Be aware that the signed images must match your model number and region.

I don't have these images, where to get them? My model is xt1524reteuall, I'm in europe/sweden and I downgraded from stock Lollipop 5.0.2
I did unlock the bootloader via motorolas site.

Hmm, so you went from a newer 5.0.2 build to an old 5.0.2 build? What were you downgrading to?
Go to this folder: https://mega.nz/#F!rMIhDLgR!oq5Cz_XbgZLEEysmqoYtcA
Navigate to Surnia ->5.0.2
Look for the file XT1524_RETEUALL_MOTOE2... (it's near the middle of the list)
Download and try flashing everything it in using fastboot.

I got my device back!! I did succeed to flash it with this rom "surnia_stock_5.0.2.zip" with TWRP. I did not have the patience to wait at the Motorola logo when booting, I have to wait 2-3 min and 2-3 min for services to start. for the device to boot. But now it doesn't register any sim card when at desktop?!?

Oh, you must have flashed something really wrong then. There are no 4.4.4 ROMs for this device. You would have flashed something totally incompatible and highly risky if you flashed 4.4.4 from somewhere. That may have wrecked your modem software too. Download and flash the proper XT1524-specific software with the correct modem. If you are unhappy with the performance of the stock ROM, you can flash scritch007's CM12.1.

I did solve the problem with these steps.
1. Find and download the files for your region.
2. Unzip files to a folder with fastboot and adb.
3. Create stock.bat with these commands and run stock.bat within the same folder as above files.
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot oem config carrier vzw
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
(4. I needed to reunlock my Moto E 2nd Gen at Motorolas site, because i did relock it.)
5. Get into bootloader menu and flash this TWRP image (i can email it to you) within the same folder and flash it with fastboot.
6. Restart phone. Wait 2-3 minutes so it boots into android.
7. Hope I made it clear enough to follow the instructions, if you got questions please reply and I try to answer them. Sorry for my poor english.

And I'm back with my Moto E! Thank you! I wasn't doing some of those commands and with all those commands it works! Thank you!
Hi,
Here is a long story of bricking my device, I wanted to downgrade my device from Oreo to Nougat, and somehow I installed wrong software, mine is RNE-L21 and after successful downgrade with this method:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3vqb8hPZIQ
version of software I installed: RNE-L21C461B153CUSTC461D001
my device was NEO-something, in settings it showed 3GB of RAM instead of 4GB, screen resolutution 1280x720 instead of fullHD and 32GB of internal memory instead of 64, so I wanted to change that.
This time I downloaded (not so sure about this now) proper version of firmware: RNE-L21C432B135CUSTC432D001, and used another method because previous method didnt work, link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76503686&postcount=46
the HuRUpdater scrpit worked fine, I booted up the device and nothing was changed, so I was like, well, ok then.
but then I noticed that my bootloader was locked, so I wanted to unlock it, and after typing the *fastboot oem unlock code* and selecting yes on my device, It rebooted and just stuck at the "Powered by andriod" logo.
I was trying to enter TWRP but id doesnt work, its stuck at the loading screen, I was unable to enter fastboot, but now I figured out that when I discharge it, I'm able to enter fastboot.
So now I'm stuck, I don't know what should I do.
I saw a guide for flashing .img files from UPDATE.APP, but that guide was for Oreo, and I've got diffrent .img files inside my Nougat UPDATE.APP so I don't want to risk:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/mate-10-lite-bricked-t3794236
sentavn said:
you should format by using fastboot. First download your stock ROM and extract with Huawei Firmware Extracter. Select UPDATE.APP and extract following files:
erecovery_kernel.img
erecovery_ramdisk.img
erecovery_vbmeta.img
cust.img
erecovery_vendor.img
kernel.img
ramdisk.img
recovery_vbmeta.img
recovery_vendor.img
system.img
Reboot your device in to fastboot mode (recovery mode) and flash those files one by one:
fastboot flash erecovery_kernel erecovery_kernel.img
...
fastboot flash system system.img
//
Erase your userdata space:
fastboot -w
//reboot
fastboot reboot
Now go to your stock recovery and do factory reset, wide cache.
Now your device back to stock OREO

Any Ideas?
HOW I FIXED:
I downloaded this EMUI 5 Nougat, Thanks to bozka1:
https://androidhost.ru/5SZ
I extracted UPDATE.APP file using Huawei Update Extractor.
I was trying to flash everything via fastboot: BOOT.img, RECOVERY.img, RECOVERY2.img, CUST.img, SYSTEM.img but nothing helped me.
I found out what you can flash via fastboot here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/huawei-fastboot-commands-t3850123
There was no hope for me, so I tried to flash USERDATA.img
fastboot flash userdata USERDATA.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And then cmd promped something unusual:
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'userdata' (24576 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.646s]
writing 'userdata'...
(bootloader) success to erase cryypt info in oeminfo
OKAY [ 1.401s]
finished. total time: 2.049s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then I proceeded to flash: BOOT.img, RECOVERY.img, RECOVERY2.img and CACHE.img
I didn't flash SYSTEM.img because I flashed it before like 1500 times.
My phone didn't work yet so I used the DLOAD method because RECOVERY finally worked, so I shut down the device and used three buttons combo:
First holding Volume Up, Volume Down and then pressing Power Button.
There is a documentation in the firmware I downloaded, SDcard must be in exFAT format.
Thank You bozka1.

So I'll have to wait a little before I'll download Service ROM, my internet connection isn't the greatest, but I flashed Your TWRP and unfortunately it doesn't work;
If I hold the Power button and Volume Up - the same story as before, I see the loading TWRP screen and nothing happends,
If I let the device to boot up and then press only the Volume Up button - it says "Your device is booting up" and nothing happens.
By the way, what can happen when I'll use "fastboot flash recovery something.img" instead of recovery2?
EDIT:
I did some testing and Your TWRP doesn't boot at all on my device, I flashed another one, Catuva21 3.1.1 Nougat, and that is the one that I had before - it is booting but never loads.

TWRP will automatically overwrite Stock recovery, it's impossible to flash something from dload without Stock recovery .
Using command "recovery2" you will install TWRP over eRecovery .
Try flash Service ROM from SD card without TWRP & oeminfo flashing, but Im not sure... your system is heavily damaged and incomplete .

So the phone would boot up the TWRP without pressing anything? Damn, I might have done that typo error... Do You know if I can restore the stock recovery from the UPDATE.APP file? I mean flash it

Alright, so did it just happened randomly or did you tried to do something with your phone? Did you unlocked bootloader or flashed custom recovery etc? You need to explain what happened, that's quite important if you want someone to help you.
I installed EMUI 9 on my p20 lite and didn't like it, so I tried one of the openkirin 9.0 beta roms. There was some features that didn't work so I decided I wanted to go back. I followed the guide on openkirin's website about going back to stock by flashing system.img, ramdisk.img, kernel.img and recovery_ramdisk.img however trying to flash ramdisk.img gives "partition length get error". Now, the phone only is able to boot into fastboot and eRecovery mode. In eRecovery the options to backup and to factory reset are grayed out however, and the "update to latest version" doesn't work. When I plug the charger in from being turned off it shows the white error screen with error 10 (boot image) and error 2 (load failed). I have a suspicion that flashing kernel.img is what causing the problem, but I don't really know enough to be sure and I don't want to do anything to make it worse since it seems like this should be fixable.
This is the only phone I have which properly worked so any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi there
Don't worry, it's fixable
There's way bigger mess than that, so the best solution for you and the easiest one is to flash a signed dload package, which you can find for your model and build number in this website:
https://androidhost.ru/search.html
Search in this format "ANE-LX1C66".
Then extract it and copy the "dload" folder to the root of your sd card.
Then power off your device if it isn't and then press POWER + Volume Plus + Volume Minus at the same time until a circle with EMUI appears.
That will erase all data and lock your bootloader.
Cheers!

Then extract it and copy the "dload" folder to the root of your sd card.
Then power off your device if it isn't and then press POWER + Volume Plus + Volume Minus at the same time until a circle with EMUI appears.
That will erase all data and lock your bootloader.
Cheers!

Ah, yeah, forgot to mention I already tried that. Unfortunately it doesn't work. It just says "software install failed". I'm genuinely about to throw this f***ing thing into orbit
Thanks for your help though.

That's weird, are you sure you are installing the right package for your device? It's rare to fail with a correct package.
What's your build number and model ?

Tried Oreo build 150 for ane-lx1c432 and ane-lx1c782 since those are the only models my phone could be.
Although, when I do the get-build-number command in fastboot it still says I'm on a Pie build. I'm gonna try doing a Pie build and I'll get back to you.

But there is no signed package for those models yet, what dload files did you use?

No, those are not signed, you need the dload files from Androidhost.ru since it's the only place you can get them for free, here's a link for both the versions you showed:
Single SIM ANE-LX1C432: https://androidhost.ru/Utm
Dual SIM ANE-LX1C432: https://androidhost.ru/Utn
Single SIM ANE-LX1C782: https://androidhost.ru/29Zn
Dual SIM ANE-LX1C782: https://androidhost.ru/1jzD
Choose the right one, and follow the procedure I sent you in a reply above.

at less you back to emui 9.1 only to save your phone
first download the firmware from tm team database search the right firmware for your phone
after that unzip the two files then use huawei extractor to extract files from update.app
and follow this instructions
Copy to the following partitions to the adb fastboot folder:
recovery_ramdisk
recovery_vbmeta
recovery_vendor
cust
kernel
system
userdata
product
vendor
Then boot your device in fastboot mode.
note if you dont found recovery ramdisk then rename recovery ramdis to previous name
The commands for fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img
fastboot flash recovery_vbmeta recovery_vbmeta.img
fastboot flash recovery_vendor recovery_vendor.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash kernel kernel.img
fastboot flash system system.img
aftet that make a wipe / factory reset
what happen to you happen to me the same thing if this work after that then be patience until we get official emui, the last news that i read that huawei postpone release until july
Thanks to kilroystyx
Try this and tell me

Holy f*** thank you. That seems to have worked. It also seems to have fixed the sms problem I had with 9.1.

great happy for you
Just got the edge+ (2023) from Boost Mobile, but they don't enable the esim usage. Currently running build T1TR33.43-48-21, model #XT2301-1
Does anyone know a way to enable this? Is the Edge+ 2023 rootable yet?

Is the device carrier locked? Haven't heard of anyone else not having esim, my converted Edge 40 Pro has it. If you can unlock the bootloader you can root the device; since you just got it you may have to wait around a week or so in order to actually be able to enable it in developer options but idk what the situation is for the US variant.

Great thanks! I'll wait a week and see. Do you know the firmware version I should be using for the US variant?

I don't think the firmware has been uploaded yet. You can use ADB commands to extract the boot.img file and use magisk to patch it then flash patch boot, or wait to see if the full firmware gets uploaded. Unless the Edge+ has a different codename from the other Edge variants ( I don't think that's the case ) I couldn't find the full firmware.

The codename should be rtwo, correct? You think I could flash to the RETAIL version? or should I just wait for the RETUS?

The model number in those firmware files don't match the model number for the US variant. I'm assuming the firmware hasn't been dumped yet since the phone has only been out a few weeks in the states.

How long does it usually take for the firmware files to get dumped? A month or so?

Maybe a couple weeks if that. It just depends. Not really sure how they dump the firmware and if they need the physical device or not.

I unlocked the bootloader and flashed stock firmware, but the software channel is still 'dish wireless' and esim settings are still hidden. Do you know of any other possible solutions to enable e-sim capabilities?
I tried to change the oem config carrier to retus and that didn't work either

yes, it changed the value, but there are no changes to the software channel. Is there a way to change the ro.carrier value?
Do you think I can flash to the RETEU Edge 40 Pro firmware?

You may be able to root the device and change the value. Don't thing there's a file you can flash to override the carrier. I wouldn't recommend flashing the EU firmware. The hardware is slightly different, don't know if it would affect anything.
Any updates? In the same situation. Tried flashing retail US firmware and FASTBOOT oem config carrier but it didn’t seem to work.

I tried flashing with the RSA Motorola tool and the MotoFlashPro, but neither worked with the US firmware. I haven't tried anything else yet, since I'm scared I'm going to mess something up. But if you would like to try, you could try rooting and patching some of the files, or try flashing the RETAIL firmware, although it's designed for xt2301-4 and not xt2301-1.
Flashing the RETAIL firmware may work since others have been able to convert from other regions as well. But as @gibberishman mentioned the hardware is slightly different and there have been reports of nfc not working, etc.

I downloaded the RETAIL firmware and attempted to 'spoof' the Boost software by removing the MD5 checks in the flash script but no luck. Half the items didn't flash due to protected partitions so unless I have an unlocked bootloader, it doesn't flash. What's odd is these are legitimate firmware files straight from Motorola. I'm guessing there is a different signature for these from the standard unlocked variant vs Boost/Dish.

EDIT: Flashing the RETAIL on locked BL caused my device to soft-brick, I had to restore via Motorola Rescue and Smart assistance software which worked like a charm. If open BL, you may be able to change the software/carrier channel then attempt to restore through Motorola tool although YMMV.

Were you able to unlock the bootloader? Usually you have to unlock the bootloader before flashing.

No, when I go to the unlock site it just gives me a 404 error page after submitting my unlock token. I gave up and decided to just use the Boost firmware. The device is sim-unlocked and supports AT&T/T-Mobile.
