Troubleshoot & FAQ

Bootloop after flash

1. Hold Power 10s to force off, boot to recovery (Power + Vol Up)
2. If you dirty-flashed: clean flash Evolution X (Format data)
3. If you flashed Magisk module: safe mode (hold Vol Up on boot) or adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
4. If you flashed wrong image: re-flash correct tank build for your slot

fastboot vs fastbootd

• Bootloader / fastboot: Power + Vol Down. For unlock, flash boot/recovery.
• fastbootd (userspace): reached from recovery > Enter fastboot. Needed for dynamic partitions / super. If fastboot flash system says “not allowed”, you’re in the wrong mode — switch.

Useful:

fastboot devices
fastboot getvar current-slot
fastboot --set-active=a
fastboot reboot recovery
fastboot reboot

PC doesn’t see device

• Windows: reinstall Motorola drivers, try USB 2.0 port, original cable
• Linux: add udev rules, run with sudo once to test, use lsusb
• macOS: allow accessory in Privacy settings, try different cable
• Try adb kill-server && adb start-server

Unbrick / return to stock

1. Install Rescue and Smart Assistant (LMSA) — see Resources
2. Boot tank to fastboot, LMSA > Rescue > select XT2407 variant
3. If LMSA fails, flash stock firmware from lolinet manually per flashfile.xml
4. Boot stock once, verify IMEI / signal before relocking (relock only on 100% stock, same variant)

FAQ

Can I relock? Only on full stock, matching variant. Relocking on custom ROM = hard brick.

Will I get OTAs? No Motorola OTAs while unlocked / custom ROM. Update via Evolution X built-in updater or sideload.

Banking apps? Expect failures with unlocked bootloader even unrooted. See Root Play Integrity notes.

Only one ROM? Yes — Evolution X 12.2 is the only tank ROM right now. This site will add new ROMs as maintainers release them.

Where to ask for help? Maintainer XDA thread / device Telegram with: model, build dates, exact steps, fastboot getvar all (redact IMEI/serial), recovery logs.
