I just flashed the July security update, MTC19Z, using the flash-all script that it comes with then flashed TWRP 3.0.2 before the first boot and it never went to the boot screen with the Google logo, just on the warning page about my OS not being able to get checked. I thought maybe I needed to let it boot the first time so I reflashed with flash-all, let it boot up the first time, then flashed TWRP with the same results.
Not really looking for technical support, I'm sure the update broke TWRP just making a thread for awareness/discussion.
I submitted a bug report to TWRP's GitHub. It can be found here.
I flashed all the *.img manually and then flashed the newest twrp and it booted up fine...
I just flashed bootloader, radio, boot, system, vendor with fastboot then booted right into TWRP and flashed supersu not issues.
That is so strange, I guess I'll give it another go in a bit.
from bullhead-mtc19z ,the bootloader is updating to bhz10p ,not bhz10m again .
i think it will make some problems.

Yesterday I decided to root my Nexus 7 2013 Wifi running stock 6.0.1 (build MOB30X). I first unlocked the bootloader, then immediately after that I flashed TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-0-flo.img). When I booted up, it would got stuck on a loop with TWRP running OpenRecoveryScript, saying something about unable to mount /data and renaming something, then reboot into TWRP again.
I did some research and it seemed I had to use a multirom TWRP version instead, so I went ahead and flashed it. Now I can go into TWRP, but when booting up I got stuck in the booting animation (the four spinning circles)
How can I fix this?

Just run these two commands:
Code:
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata
Don't worry, you have lost all your data already while unlocking it.
The first boot and the booting animation will be initially longer than usual.
Incidentally, no need to use multirom-TWRP anymore because TWRP v3+ has been properly updated.
I actually solved this myself before k23m's reply by flashing the stock rom (MOB30X), then completed the initial setup, then reflashed TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-0-flo.img, not the multirom version). After that I booted up then restarted into recovery but then realized that TWRP had been wiped (only the android with the red triangle showing). So I re-flashed TWRP again and this time rebooted directly into recovery, and renamed the file recovery-from-boot.p into recovery-from-boot.backup. Then I flashed su and all went well.

Thank you for the hint!
Hello Everyone I am hoping there is a solution to this however I have been unable to find anything.
I flashed the latest OTA image via sideload and everything was fine until I tried to install TWRP. When trying to install the latest TWRP I could find ( 3.1.0-0RC2 ) my phone would then boot loop. I tried this process several times and each time after installing my phone would boot loop for 10 minutes until I forced it into fastboot, fast booted the TWRP image, and finally sideload the OTA once again.
I have seen a couple threads which I believe indicate that May update changed/broke something with the bootloader but I will be honest I
haven't read into it much.
This is on a Google version of the device with the bootloader unlocked. (failed to mention that).
Thanks in advance.

Flash the bootloader from april.
****************************
Download last months 7.1.2 factory image.
Extract it and find "bootloader-marlin-xxxxblahblah.img".
Rename it to "bootloader.img" for simplicity's sake, then move it to the side.
:Flash-all" the latest factory image, after its done stay in fastboot.
Run "fastboot flash bootloader_a bootloader.img" from wherever you moved the file to
Disregard if "partition_a" isnt your primary, once the command is ran it will auto flash to the primary partition.
Boot and setup, reboot back to bootloader.
Boot and install twrp, then reboot to recovery.
Delete fstab.marlin in main directory, then flash preferred supersu (i use 2.79 sr3).
Reboot to system and your done. from here reboot to recovery or bootloader to flash your preferred kernel and mods.
Was able to get this all sorted out.
If anyone else happens to see this thread with the same issues and missed the April bootloader deal you can find a good overview Here
To get the April bootloader image which is something I have never loaded myself you need to download the Factory Image from April then extract it. Inside there you will see the bootloader image.
Hope this helps anyone else who didn't read far enough into this issue.
I unlocked the bootloader following Motorolas steps. I then flashed the latest version of TWRP avaiable on the development forum and then flashed Lineage OS + the root zip they provide and gapps. I couldn't figure out how to get out of the bootloop so I've since gone back to stock. Any idea what I was missing?
TWRP:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...recovery-unofficial-twrp-moto-z-play-t3495629
Lineage:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-14-1-t3495644
Did you read the notices and entries on the Linage last pages of the thread that people are having it fail on the install, the latest release? That would be a clue...
I even tried flashing Pure Nexus but that too was stuck on a loop. I left it for about 10 minutes as it was loading. :/
I did the same thing like you on my first attempt, on my second I was able to install Lineage OS successfully. I'll provide the steps I did.
First attempt steps:
1. Unlocking the bootloader using Motorola website
2. Installing TWRP from the same link in your post.
At that point I tried booting the phone, but the phone was booting to TWRP only, tried wiping, format data from TWRP with no luck.
3. From TWRP flashed Lineage OS zip file and GAPPS nano package (the latest version of TWRP is able to see SD card).
At that point I was able to to boot LOS only after executing "fastboot erase user data". Doing the same from within TWRP was not doing the job. The problem was that after each reboot the phone was getting into bootloop again and "fastboot erase userdata" was necessary.
4. At that point I noticed that TWRP thread starts with warning that you have to install a patcher to disable this "verity" feature of the bootloader may be. And I installed the patcher "Verity_FE_patcher.zip"
The patcher didn't fix the issue and went back to stock Nougat using the guide below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/how-to/moto-z-play-reteu-firmware-otas-t3557917
First I tried "flashall.bat" , but it didn't wor.k and I flashed all the files manually using the guide . The phone booted normally and I updated it with one OTA update.
Second attempt steps:
1. I wanted to install the verity patcher before anything else and I boot TWRP 3.1.0.1 without flashing it. It booted normally and I realized that the SD card was formated and the patcher zip file is not there. I reboot the system and the phone got in bootloops again even the TWRP was not installed. I coppied the patcher zip, LOS zip, GAPPS zip on SD card . I tried to boot (without flashing) TWRP again, but for some reason TWRP was not able to boot.
2. I flashed TWRP
3. Booted TWRP and flashed verity patcher.
4. Wiped from TWRP and boot the system
At that point I was able to boot the stock firmware with TWRP installed and I was able to restart the phone normally.
5. Flashed LOS and nano GAPPS
Now everything seems to work properly.
Hope this will help.
Thanks. I'll give this a shot tonight. Our first attempts sound very alike.
Hi, I flashed the FOTA Kernel with TWRP 2.8.7 onto my phone and inside TWRP I flashed the recovery with the 3.0.2 TWRP image (telling me "Successfully flashed")
But after rebooting I still have TWRP 2.8.7
Using windows command line and "fastboot flash recovery "TWRP.....img" I get this "FAILED" message.
What am I doing wrong?
I even flashed the phone back to stock and then followed these instructions but same result.
Is my phone broken or sth?
Hi H4NNE5, the Xperia M does not have a recovery partition. The TWRP recovery is included in the boot partition when flashing the kernel. Try to upgrade with the TWRP-Manager if your phone is rooted.
Hi Lightningsfire, Thanks for you answer.
Ok, that's weird because I read a lot of threads but none said anything like that. I'm more confused right now.
Anyhow the LineageOS is not properly working on my phone anyhow so I set it back to Stock Rom and check back in a few months if it improved
One more question:
So if I flash the whole software package the boot partition is overwritten then, right? Because I noticed that the Recovery was a different one, after I flashed the system.

Try this command
fastboot flash boot twrp_name.img
I'm desperate.
I've spent about 8 hours yesterday researching and fixing my phone which was stuck in a bootloop, I couldn't even get to TWRP.
In the end, what did it was the BLOD fix here in the forums. Flashed boot.img from stock 47Z, special TWRP from same thread and then from TWRP the EX kernel version 4.12 and then the latest OmniRom which I have used before. There it was again, working, even my 90 browser tabs were still there.
This is where I f***** up. My phone notified me at startup that I should flash vendor N2G47F (which is 7.1.2. - the latest OmniRom). Alright, phone is completely working, but still, couldn't hurt. Downloaded and flashed the wrong vendor (Factory Image 8.1.0) via TWRP because it was 3am and I didn't think anymore. And then... stuck at boot screen.
Alright, I discovered it was the wrong vendor image, so let's just flash the vendor again with the right version this time and it should work again, right?
Nope. Phone changed between bootloop-ing and just stuck on the Google loading screen with the open lock.
Okay, just start again from the beginning, you know what you did, so, easy. I thought.
This is what I did:
fastboot flash vendor vendorOPM7.1.2.-N2G47F.img
fastboot flash boot 47z…img [boot-img from BLOD-thread]
fastboot flash recovery twrp3_1_1_5X.img [also from BLOD-thread]
reboot-recovery
adb sideload 5xEX4…zip [also from BLOD-thread]
adb sideload omnirom_latest.zip [latest omnirom from official site]
reboot, should work because I fixed basically everything, right?
doesnt
remembered seeing boot.img getting flashed when sideloading omnirom (in the log that TWRP shows when sideloading)
flash boot.img again [from BLOD-thread]
still doesn't work.
cache was wiped either in twrp or fastboot after nearly every step.
I can't figure out anymore what the problem is. It worked before, and just because I flashed a false vendor it's not working at all anymore? I don't get it. Do you have any ideas for me? Many thanks in advance...
