I have failed at flashing

[mobone32]

Yes, another one of these threads, but I need some help.

I got the bootloader unlocked, flashed twrp into recovery using fastboot. Unfortunantly the device rebooted into stock which I'm reading got rid of twrp. One problem is I can't figure out how to get twrp on there, and to stay on there, so I can use it.

Ignoring this issue I just continued. The guide simply said flash cm11. I searched around for a little bit on how to do this with fastboot (since my twrp wasnt working), but ended up doing the stupid thing of running:
fastboot flash system cm-11-20141115-SNAPSHOT-M12-ghost.zip

I know my problem is that I flashed the system with just a zip update file. I should've performed an update.

But now I can't figure out how to find the stock system image for my phone, the actual img file, so I can flash the system again. I have a sprint moto x.

Thanks for any help!

you should be able to install TWRP by using the command, "mfastboot recovery twrp.img"

regarding CM11, I don't think is needed anymore to go from CM10 to CM12. it was at one time, but I believe CM or TWRP made some updates so that step is no longer necessary.

but before we can help you further, let us know what ROM you are on now and what ROM you want to be on next.

also, this thread is very helpful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/official-collection-firmwares-fxz-sbf-t3146628

Ok I got TWRP on there. Now I would like to get to lolipop 5.1 one way or another. I've always liked CyanogenMod (of course) but want to try CyanHacker. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/rom-cyanhacker-lollipop-ghost-t3033367

Right now I'm on a stock sprint rom I got with kitkat 4.4.4

Here's what I was going to do: (copied from forum)

1. mfastboot flash the latest TWRP if you aren't already at that point. I won't help you on fastboot things as you should already know- look around in the forums for info.
2. BACKUP YOUR STUFF- don't want to lose things without being able to get them back, right?
3. Flash the downloaded CM11 snapshot.
(Heres where I'm stuck. This is where I soft bricked it last night. I tried just now to apply the update using twrp and it just fails. It also fails at rooting my phone.)
4. Let CM11 fully boot and go through the setup screen- just skip everything and get to the homescreen.
5. Reboot into Recovery and wipe EVERYTHING- system, data, dalvik cache, cache, etc.
6. Flash your Lollipop ROM.
7. Flash PA-gapps.
8. Flash SuperSU.
9. Wipe cache/dalvik cache.
10. Reboot.
11. ???
12. Profit.


Thanks for any help!
