Have you tried flashing bp.img in fastboot?

I think this will be the file you need.
Then, get fastboot and put that file in the same directory.
Put the phone in AP Flash mode.
Connect with Moto cable to a good USB port.
type in:
Code:
fastboot devices
and verify that your device is shown without restrictions (you'll see a 16-char HEX code/serial id#)
if windows:
Code:
.\fastboot flash bpsw bpsw.img
if linux/unix/Mac:
Code:
./fastboot flash bpsw bpsw.img
reboot into recovery then try the update again.

did it and it says sending, OKAY, writing, (bootloader) command restricted, FAILED...is that right?

Well, yes, probably. For some reason, only certain partitions are available to flash from AP Fastboot.

no, that means nothing happened. It sent it to the device, but didnt write it. So right where you started.

I got the same error again, I'm gonna root and try again

Well, yeah, that's what I meant. It's normal for that partition to fail out. I'm guessing certain blocks can only be written in raw form from BP/SBF.

now I'm stuck in fastboot wut do I do now

LRiley said:

Stuck? Reflash a non-protected partition, like cdrom. Then.
Code:
fastboot reboot

did it with mdm, but I'm back to square one

In the future, you'll probably get more help by titling your thread something more useful. I have skipped over it a few times already.

What's the output of
Code:
df /system
Edit: scratch that. bp.img is extracted to /tmp, which I'm guessing is a RAM disk. Have you tried running the update again? I'm not sure I understand why it would fail. Regardless, it is flashed using a Motorola utility so I imagine flashing by fastboot won't work.

I flashed it a lot of times but the update always gets stuck at bp

any ideas?

Can you post /cache/recovery/last_log

I assume you have adb installed? In a terminal, run:

exit
adb pull /sdcard/last_log <some local directory>
Replacing <some local directory> with wherever is convenient.

[WIP] [REQUEST] Misc partition dumps

Hey all,
A few of us are attempting to put together a solution to unlock the bootloader of the N4 without wiping, and we need your help.
We need dumps of the misc partition of the N4 both in a bootloader locked and unlocked state. I've explained below what we need and how to do it.
Note, this will require you to re-lock and unlock your bootloader, (which will cause your data to be wiped) so do a nandroid and copy it off your device for a later restore.
Novice instructions:
1) You need to start off with an unlocked bootloader.
2) Boot into fastboot mode and plug into your PC.
3) If you don't have ADB and fastboot on your PC, download the attachment from this post and extract the contents to a directory.
4) If you don't have CWM or TWRP flashed, download CWM from here and save as cwm.img in the same directory as in step 3.
5) Open a command prompt in the same directory as in step 3 (i.e., hold the shift key and right click in a blank space in that folder).
6) Flash CWM: fastboot flash recovery cwm.img
7) On your phone, navigate with the volume buttons to "recovery mode" and select with the power button.
8) Once CWM is booted, type the following commands into the command prompt:
Code:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 of=/sdcard/misc-unlocked.img
exit
adb pull /sdcard/misc-unlocked.img
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
9) On your phone, navigate with the volume buttons to "recovery mode" and select with the power button.
10) Once CWM is booted, type the following commands into the command prompt:
Code:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 of=/sdcard/misc-locked.img
exit
adb pull /sdcard/misc-locked.img
11) Now you have two files (misc-unlocked.img and misc-lock.img) in the directory you created in step 3. Zip them up and upload them in this thread.
12) Your bootloader is now locked. If you want it unlocked, unlock it using the normal method of "fastboot oem unlock" which will wipe your data, but all you have to do is restore your nandroid, and you will be back to where you started.
Advanced user instructions:
1) Start with an unlocked bootloader
2) Dump the misc partition: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 of=/sdcard/misc-unlocked.img
3) Lock your bootloader
4) Dump the misc partition again: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 of=/sdcard/misc-locked.img
5) Upload the files to this thread.
For advanced users only (this has not yet been tested), if you want, you can try flashing the unlocked misc partition:
Code:
adb shell "dd if=/sdcard/misc-unlocked.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19"
to see if it will unlock your device without wiping. But as I said, this has not been tested yet, so do the last step at your own risk.
Edit: nvm
Here is the dump. Thanks for your work.

Does it wipe sdcard? It need to know if I have to copy everything to the computer.

To be safe, you should copy everything to your computer.
Our theory is, once you lock your bootloader with "fastboot oem lock", you should be able to unlock it again without wiping anything just by flashing the misc partition that you dumped when your device was unlocked.
So, the steps themselves will not wipe anything. But, if you use "fastboot oem unlock" to unlock your bootloader (once you have completed all the steps), then it will wipe everything including /sdcard. If you use the command in the "advanced users instructions", the idea is that it won't wipe anything.

Great thanks!
Did you try re-flashing the unlocked misc.img (while you were locked) to see if it unlocked?
I can't flash the misc-unlocked.img
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell "dd if=/sdca

Try this:
1) Copy the file to /sdcard
2) Reboot into CWM
3) Type in the command
I still got the same error.
Also, the directories seem to be messed up again, the classic orphaned back up folders in that CWM/system doesn't seem to recognized anymore....

Not sure why your directories are messed up.
Find where the file is saved, and use that path for the "if" part of the command. For example, if it is saved in /storage/emulate/0, then use this command:
adb shell "dd if=/storage/emulate/0/misc-unlocked.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19"
Confirmed!
Flashing misc-unlocked.img unlocked my bootloader.
Note: I copy the file to /system, mounted /system in CWM then
adb shell "dd if=/system/misc-unlocked.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19"

I have no idea why /sdcard or /storage/emulate/0/ doesn't work. But I think you should take a look into this when you cook up the new root method

Very strange that /sdcard did not work. It worked fine on mine, but we will certainly look into it.

After looking at your dumps, it seems like you are running an old version of Android. Is it possible that you are still on JVP15Q? If so, I don't think that will help us too much. I dumped mine when I was on JOP40C (and I will do so again with JOP40D). If you do upgrade, then new dumps would be appreciated.
By the way, could you list the following from your device:
ROM version:
Bootloader:
Radio:
Thanks.
EDIT: If you want to follow the progress, you can have a look at this thread.

Well that is totally weird
Build Number:JOP40D
Baseband version:M92615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.33

is there anything look wrong?
When I get some wifi later today, I'll return to stock and dump the misc partition for JOP40C, possibly redo JOP40D too.

Hmm. Thanks for the offer, but don't bother going through the hassle. If you are already running JOP40D, then it should be ok. Weird that your dump had JVP15Q in it. I'll wait until a couple of the other guys have a look at it (in this thread).

I have a feeling that it has something to do with history/logging. My N4 came with JOP40C out of the box, and I would bet that KyraOfFire's came with JVP15Q out of the box.

listen mate, I'm ready to help you push or sideload a rom to your phone, but we will not use this toolkit (no disrespect to squabbi btw).
When things goes wrong, better to use adb/fastboot directly from terminal, not using a toolkit.
so go ahead and install adb/fastboot on your computer so we can start troubleshooting.

This part to do in 2nd - in recovery mode:
make sure your rom.zip is in the same folder of adb and fastboot, if you have installed minimal adb and fastboot, it should be C:\Program\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\
hold shift + right click a blank space in that folder, select ''start command prompt here'' from the contextual menu.
then in the command prompt (with your phone booted in twrp) type:
Code:
adb devices
it should reply your device s/n + recovery, If yes then:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
should take around 5 min to transfer (there is no progress bar)

with phone in bootloader mode (fastboot):

. Ended up wiping my internal storage and I was in a bit of a pickle so heres what I did: (you need to start off in bootloader mode)
1. Download twrp from HERE
2. Then go to where you downloaded the file and flash it (since I'm using Ubuntu it's in "Downloads")
Code:
cd Downloads && fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-shamu.img
3. When the recovery finishes flashing manually reboot to recovery from the device by pressing the volume up key then press power to select "Recovery"
4. In TWRP go to the "mount" section and make sure that "system" is selected if it isn't. Then reboot to bootloader (if you get the "No OS error" don't worry, just disregard and ignore the SU flash prompt.
5. Now that your system has been re mounted you can manually flash each file but incase you want a copy and paste here it is:
(also make sure you unzip the image-shamu-MPZ44Q.zip file to extract the image-shamu-MPZ44Q folder)

bricked, stuck in recovery

Hi there!
I have a TX1085, it is already unlocked and rooted and has the CM Recovery installed. But before the CM Recovery I had the TWRP Recovery installed and tried to use it to flash CM12, which I had put on the SD-Card. It kept on telling me that mounting the system failed. Unfortunately I wiped everything via TWRP Recovery without creating a backup. Then I installed the CM Recovery to try again. Now, if I try to flash via CM Recovery (apply update) it doesn't show anything in my internal storage and I can't connect via adb using Ubuntu (Terminal tells me either "device not found" or "device offline".)
Any suggestions?
Greets
I have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm still learning all this, but in your case, from what I've learnend so far I'd maybe try the "fastboot boot recoveryfile.img" command, loading TWRP or CMrecovery into the ram of the phone and start flashing from there?! (just an idea)

Thanks for your suggestion! Unfortunately I don't know how to get access to my phone again via computer, which is - I think - because I deleted the system on it. Or how else could I get into the ram? This is my first time to flash a phone, so I really need some guidance.

Look for adb in 15 seconds and install it, go to directory where fastboot is located.
Download twrp image and rename it or something and copy recovery.img to fastboot directory.
If there is no recovery.img in that directory it will fail.
After you copy and rename recovery.img then you will be able to do what I told you.
If you are new at modding, you have to take it easy and ask everything before doing it.

Next time, please ask everything you need before doing something.
I have been modding my phones since the Motorola L7 and I always ask for everything on a new device before start modding.
That way I never bricked my phones.

This post seems to be aiming for Windows users, but I am using Linux. Could I still use it? If yes, how?

That is why I asked you how to get CM installed with TWRP. I had the mounting problem at the very beginning already. How can I get CM installed now?

The commands I wrote before, use the same steps but instead use the cm recovery.
I hope you understand!

I managed to get TWRP working again. I have the .zip-File in my Internal Storage, but can not mount System. How can I do this?
Edit: Wiping data seems to be working but I get the output "E:Unable to mount '/system'". When I try to install the ROM it fails to mount an unmount /system and gets stuck at "Patching system image unconditionally..."

In the newer versions of TWRP the first screen should show a Mount button. In that screen you should be able to mount any of the partitions.

If I use the "fastboot boot CM_recovery.img" command the phone installs it and then starts into TWRP. Except for that nothing changes. How can I continue?

If I try to make a tick (as to mount) system the phone vibrates but doesn't tick system, so I can't mount it this way.

Yes you can

Back up data/pull files from boot loop device in recovery mode

My device unexpectedly got stuck on the boot screen. I have a replacement device on the way but want to pull as many files off the devices as possible. I can get into recovery mode and have the option to apply update from ADB. When I open the command terminal from ADB, "adb devices" returns an error that "adb" is not recognized. However, when I input ".\adb devices" a device is listed with "sideload", however, trying to pull /sdcard/ returns a closed connection. I would looooovve any help.
Hi,
You should have posted this on the questions and answers section.
If you can get to recovery, I'm guessing you can get to the bootloader.
While on the bootloader type "fastboot reboot fastboot"
That should get you to fastbootd.
There you should have adb access.
Sideloading the latest ota update may help. Or what's worked for me is sideloading the the ota for a different carrier. Or go to bootloader and flash the system image, after deleting the -w in the flash-all file.
That should let you boot up.

I just tried sideloading three different OTAs but got an error "failed to read command: No error" at 94% for all of them.
There's a warning before downloading system images that flashing will delete all the files. Is this true?

The 94 percent and that error is normal. Did you try to boot after? Guess that didn't work?
For the factory image, you have to delete the -w as I mentioned, or yes it will wipe.

I did try booting after and it's still stuck on the boot screen. \:
Can you please explain how to remove the -w from the flash-all file? I don't see it in the file name or when I open the file.

Edit the flash all.bat file with something like text editor++. The last line or so has the wipe command that needs to be removed.
