TWRP - Failed to mount '/firmware' (invalid argument)

I rooted my Moto Z Play but I think I screwed up since I can´t no longer flash anything.
The TWRP is working fine (i guess) but when I try to install a ROM I get the following message:
"Failed to mount '/firmware' (invalid argument)"
I tried everything but can´t get it working properly.
Prior to this error I think I tried a diferent version of PAC-MAN and ended up with this situation.
Any sugestions?
Thanx in advance!

As far as I know no one has built PAC ROM for moto z play. My guess is TWRP just saved you from bricking your phone. Better make sure you're trying to flash a ROM build for MZP.

C´mon guys, give me a break, I´m not a tech savy or something like that, just a regular lawyer.
Since I didn´t break my MZP what do I have to do to get it working again??

Flash the correct ROM, in the updater script it checks your phone version prior to flashing the ROM.
Go to the development threads and find yourself moto z play specific ROM and flash

It does not boot to the stock ROM.
Just flashed the Nagout that you uploaded on another thread. It install but when I do the swipe after flashing the same error appears and the phone don´t boot. The error always appear after the "Updating partition details...." message.
After the installation I got this message:
Moto Z Play Nougat Installed
script suceeded: result was [Moto z P`lay Nougat Installed]
Updating partition details...
Failed to mount '/firmware' (invalid argument)
....done
Then I wiped the cache/dalvik and this occurs:
Formating Cache using make_ext4gs....
Updating partition details....

....done
Wiping Dalvil Cache Directories...
Cleaned: /data/dalvik-cache...
--Dalvik Cache Directories Wipe Complete!
Updating partition details...

....done
And when I reboot the system twrp ask to install a su wich I don´t install, the system reboot and after the message warning that my device is unlocked it goes to a dark screen and nothing happens.
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure), is that correct?
Thanks again.

You flashed all the sparsechunks from 0 to 10?
The stock recovery has a dead Andy robot, so that flashed.
Did you flash the boot.img?

Obviously the pacman rom screwed up your partition, normally every rom will check if you're flashing a rom to a specific device.
I don't think flashing any other firmware will help cause it's all the same from one carrier to another.
I think you may need to flash the entire firmware package but it MUST BE YOUR SPECIFIC FIRMWARE PACKAGE otherwise you'll really be bricked.
I'm pulling at straws

This is gonna sound stupid. But after you fastboot TWRP, did you try starting ur phone into bootloader, and going to recovery? I thought TWRP wouldn't install at first but it was there all along when I used the English version.

Stuck on TWRP after accidental factory reset

I was about to manually install the lineageOS update, but I accidentally swiped factory restore. Is there anyway I can get the update file online? I tried starting from the top by wiping everything and reinstalling the rom but it only boots me into TWRP. I also tried restoring backup files but is also boots me into TWRP. I am stuck.
PS: I tried the "fastboot continue" method but it boots me into TWRP.

reboot to fastboot mode. flash stock bootloader and recovery. reboot in stock recovery and then factory reset device and sideload firmware. alternatively you can flash raw firmware manually

Thank you for your response, Sir. I really appreciate it. Where do I get the stock bootloader and recovery, and how do I flash them? On the alternative method, do you mean I should install the stock rom? I'm sorry. I'm really not good at this; I'm just good at following tutorials. Is this what you're suggesting me to do? (XDA is now allowing me to write outside links. But here is the title of the tutorial from Asus Zentalk)
"[Experience Sharing] How to Relock Bootloader on ZenFone 2(ZE551ML ONLY)"
I have made a backup before I intalled the Lineage OS custom Rom. Can I use that instead of downloading new files, because the internet here is really bad. My problem is how I am going to install it. I tried restoring it but I keep on coming back to the TWRP.
Edit: I am now downloading the stock boot.img and recovery.img. I will be flashing them with ADB the ADB tool. Is this what you want to tell me? Then I will reboot in stock recovery, select factory reset and sideload firmware. I honestly don't get the "sideload firmware" part but can I use the one that I have backed up? How?

the backup you made you can flash only via twrp. if you have backup simply install it in twrp. but if still bootloops then you have to download firmware either from asus website or raw firmware from any other source. first try to flash backup in twrp. if you are unable to get into system them report back here. i will send you link to download raw firmware and instructions how to flash

I tried to flash the backup but still no luck. Yes, please. Thank you very much!
I'm currently downloading the "CleanSTOCK-MM.223-v3.8[STABLE][Z00A]-6 May". I hope this will fix the problem. Do you think this will work 100%? I am afraid that it will boot again to TWRP after installing another rom. Which do you think is more efficient, installing a new rom or installing raw firmware?

The command prompt failed at steps 4,5, and 11. It only boots in a blinking screen with an android saying, "Error". Tried it again for the second time but still boots in same screen. I tried to manually boot up the phone without the commands and worked. Thank you very much!

Can't flash TWRP - remote failure (SOLVED)

Hi guys!
I hope you can help me, since I've looked everywhere but can only find people with similar but not the exact same problem.
I tried flashing TWRP in order to migrate to a custom ROM. I am currently running official 7.1.1.
When I try to flash twrp (tried several versions) the command window shows me this:
c:\adb>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
target max-sparse-size: 256MB

I tried using Moto fastboot as well but with the same result. I'd really appreciate your help. Please note, that I am not a pro like most you guys so I might have follow-up questions

Are you sure you flashed the right image? And that your bootloader is unlocked?
And what happens if you use
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
?

Yes, I am sure that I am using the right image. I tried several, always checked that they were for addison.
I also unlocked the bootloader in developer options - although now that you mention it: in the fastboot screen it still says oem_locked. So maybe that is the problem?

Okay, I managed to unlock the bootloader with the unlock key I got from Motorola.
Now when I try to flash it says:

Oh Jesus... Bootloader unlock is not just the option in Dev settings. Google it, you'll find a website from Motorola that guides you through the process and provides you with everything necessary

Yes, I did that by now as I said in the post before. Sorry, but I'm a beginner
Now it says that the image is not signed or corrupt. IDK what to do anymore.
Booting in TWRP works but when flashing Lineage from SD card I get the error:
recv error on unevent
and
failed to mount data.
I wiped everything using TWRP and I also tried to use another version of TWRP, so a corrupted file can't be the problem.

I figured it out.
I had to restore the file system by only checking the "System" box when wiping with TPWR - just in case anybody else has the same problems.

So a factory data reset solve the problem? Having your first issue with moto e5 cricket and you can't unlock three bootloader

well, i had it unlocked via the settingsbutton and after read this here , via the website where you can get the 20 bits code, but it is the same result with a code that is the same as the adb devices code, just as before! Only thing that is changed is a warning when you starts the phone up.

XT1670 revert to stock issue

SOLVED I will make a topic about it https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/help/how-to-revert-moto-g5-xt1670-to-stock-t4183425
Hello, how are you all over there? I here in trouble with this XT1670. I have installed several roms but now i want to go back to the official one, but it dont lock the bootloader.
Tried the following command (twice) to lock the bootloader: fastboot oem lock
And i get the following result:
Code:
(bootloader) Flash valid Android images now
(bootloader) Then re-run this command to lock
OKAY [ 0.016s]
finished. total time: 0.016s
Now i use the following command: fastboot flash boot boot.img
And the following was obtained:
Code:
target reported max download size of 535822336 bytes
sending 'boot' (16384 KB) ...
OKAY [0.545s]
writing 'boot' ...
(bootloader) Security version downgrade
(bootloader) Image boot failed validation
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.747s
I have already tried several. Boot, gpt, oem with official rom. All showing the error "Security version downgrade"
I also tried Lenovo's Rescue & Smart app, but it says the SKU is wrong and doesn't recognize the mobile phone.
I don't know how to continue. I could put an official rom, but when you restart the phone the bootloader appears. It only starts when press start.
Not only does that happen. Every so often, the phone turns itself off and remains in the bootloader. And then when you start up, bug reports pop up to share with who knows what.
I do not know what to do. You are the experts.
Ty in advance
