After many searches to no avail, I figured I'd open a thread and see what's going on.
I recently purchased a Nexus One that was rooted and had an unlocked bootloader. The hboot is 0.33.2012 with radio 5.12.00.00
I am trying to convert back to stock so I can access Gingerbread when it goes OTA. I have tried 20 times now to use the PASSIMG.zip method of reverting and every single time, some text loads very fast, and the last thing I see is something along the lines of:
"Loading... [nv.img]"
Is there anyone that can suggest an easy fix? I have tired using FRG33 and FRF91, but both will not work. With my luck, I'm just doing something nubish. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Well this should work : I replied to you via the twitters - but I'll post this here for posterity.
@du57in Ok I'll bite. I restored my N1 to stock due to wifi issues yesterday. Download FRG83 from here http://tinyurl.com/26jy7tt
@du57in Step 2: follow the steps in this thread http://tinyurl.com/2dlmzsl using the FRG83 from the first link
@du57in You're going to want to use the first FRG83 listed in bold MD5: a801dcc43e9244d323e57bbd5705eaea
Here's my summary:
Download that original signed HTC FRG83 image
setup fastboot if you haven't already
unzip it
Plug in Nexus One with USB to computer (enable usb and debug modes)
$ adb reboot bootloader
(which will boot into the bootloader)
Confirm fastboot connection
$ fastboot devices
$ fastboot erase userdata
- did not work for me, I went into the bootloader recovery and wiped the data on my device instead
$ fastboot erase cache
Go to the directory that you stored your unzipped files.
$ fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
(I actually skipped this one, but you might want to flash it since you're coming from a custom rom)
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
$ fastboot flash system system.img
$ fastboot reboot
OK, I'm working on that and I will update with what happens.
Goodluck with fastboot. Theres always the throwing it against the wall method if fastboot fails.
Fastboot never fails. NEVER

This will not revert your recovery to stock. The OTA will still fail.

Flash all bat doesn't work. Did you unzip the second folder and find actual system.img. Then fastboot flash system system.img.

I had this happen on my n5 with the first preview, honestly what worked for me(and really hate even recommending using toolkits) but NRT with force flash enable fixed it a flashed all files.
Again don't even know if n6 can use NRT but if it helps it helps lol

Don't rely on the toolkits tho, I personally think you need to know and understand the manual flash and Woking with adb/fastboot, I only used it because I spent a good hour trying every other possible fix to flash system (on both windows & Ubuntu).
But again I'm glad it work

So today I got an update for a new firmware, it was a small 125 mb patch, no big deal. I downloaded it and installed it a couple of hours later, I leave it to install and when I'm back my phone is frozen on the Motorola logo and the "Powered by android" text written below, but it won't get past that. I left it for almost an hour and it won't boot, I tried forcing a reboot and it gets me back to the same screen.
Is there any way I could fix it, preferably while keeping my data? Especially the what's app gallery.
Thanks a lot guys, I'm kinda panicking here.
Ps. I'm not rooted, everything is completely stock.
it's Stuck on Moto Boto logo ?
Yes. I tried doing a factory reset and that doesn't work either, it sends me right back to the boot logo.
Sorry to not have any solutions but my girlfriends phone has probably had the exact same thing happen. At about 10PM tonight she got an update notification and told it to install. almost two hours later she checked the phone again to see it stuck on the boot logo and incredibly hot. She restarted it and same thing, stuck on the boot logo. Same as you, completely stock phone. Never been modified in anyway.
I had her go into recovery and wipe cache, no change at all. I've now had her do a factory reset twice as some similar problems mentioned that as a solution. No change, still just gets stuck on the boot screen.
My assumption at this point is that this update has completely trashed the phone and it's completely unrecoverable on the device at least.
I'm willing to learn how to install a new rom from scratch if that would help, preferably a stock one. The problem is that Motorola doesn't have any stores where I live, I ordered my phone off amazon.
So is there any method to fix it? You can instruct me if you could or at least tell me what to look for on google.
Thanks a lot man.

My warranty is already over, I just want stock because I like it.
Are you sure a rom installation would work?
Ps. I can't unlock the bootloader since I can't access the OS
Unlock boot loader does not acess to os it is simple

Just go to fastboot mode and unlocking can done from pc and install twrp then u can flash roms

What do you mean?
I'm a total beginner when it comes to android, I'm more of a windows guy. Can you walk me through the steps?
It´s not that easy to guide someone through all the steps. First thing you have to do is unlock your bootloader,described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/wip-unlock-bootloader-moto-g-2nd-gen-t2875728. Read all the steps,it´s not that difficult.
You need all the drivers,by motorola and android, linked in the tutorial. I recomend Minimal ADB and Fastboot instead of Android SDK, it´s easier. Install it in the root of your windows partition,like C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot. So if you open a command prompt the path is short and you know it.
After the unlock process you´ll need to flash a custom recovery, you can read how to do that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/xt1063-t3018818.
There´s a part called Flashing TWRP Recovery . You don´t need to do that with Flashify (you surely can if you want but I think this way is easier to do), just download the custom recovery TWRP from here: https://dl.twrp.me/titan/.
Place the .img file in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder and connect the phone to the PC. After that you open a command prompt again from the Minmal ADB and fastboot folder (open the folder and hold Shift and right click and press "open command window here".
Now type the command
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
When the phone has booted to bootloader type
Code:
fastboot devices
A string of numbers should appear,that means your phone is connected.
Now type
fastboot flash recovery "name of the downloaded TWRP .img file", in your case that should be
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-titan.img
Now everytime when you boot to recovery you´ll see a menu with a lot of features like install,wipe,backup,restore etc.
From here you can flash any rom you like, a stock rom, a stock based rom or any other like cyanogen or AOSP.
If you want to flash stock again you´ll need to know the name of your firmware,it differs from country and version. You can search for it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/original-motorola-firmware-collection-t3153533.
It´s late now here, if you are at this point and have decided what rom to flash post again or pm me.
I hope my exclamation is understandable and I´ve made no faults, everyone else please correct me then!

Its good guide follow these steps
If you want to go stock, I recommend you to go with the mfastboot method . . .
because it doesn't even need unlocked bootloader or any recovery,
The following link is having a mfastboot folder, in which, Moto G 2014(XT1068) stock 5.0.2 factory firmware is stored and, you just have to extract the folder and open it then pressing & holding shift + RMB and select "Open Command Window Here".
(Now press Power + Volume Down simultaneously, and you should go to the bootloader mode, if you don't know that )
Now in the command window, check your phone is connected with USB and type below code and press Enter.
Code:
fastboot devices
if any code(like for eg. ZDMJK2312) is shown, you're connected,
if not, try reconnecting the USB and try again.
Once properly connected, now you can flash the follwing commands one by one, to get your device to life.
Code:
Moto G 2014 Stock 5.0.2 Restore Script
------------------------------------------------------------------|
mfastboot.exe oem lock begin
mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot.exe erase modemst1
mfastboot.exe erase modemst2
mfastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot.exe erase cache
mfastboot.exe erase userdata
mfastboot.exe oem lock
mfastboot.exe reboot
------------------------------------------------------------------|
BTW this happened to me 6 months back and the same helped me.
mfastboot
Note : The above method is for only the model XT1068, because the firmware in the folder is for that model only, so plz make sure your model before proceeding.
And plz follow each and every step properly.
Thanks . . .
Alright thanks people! I'll try ArtRahul's method since it's easier and i was quite satisfied with stock. If that doesn't work I'll try Wolfcity's method.
Alright, so this is an update. ArtRahul's method works great and it's really easy. If anyone looks for a solution and finds this thread, just make sure you find the exact model of your phone and google the firmware. Here's where I found mine
http://www.droidviews.com/restore-moto-g-2014-to-stock-and-lock-the-bootloader/
It has links to other versions too. Good luck!

did anything work?
my moto g2 was rooted .i got notification that update 5.1.1 is available .but after update it is stuck in bootloop::crying:
---------- Post added at 03:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 AM ----------
it is giving me failed to validate system image error after first command mfastboot.exe oem lock begin
Can anyone tell me what this (remote: Flashing is not allowed in Lock State).
What exactly is locked? Is my cell OEM unlocked?
I flashed the wrong TWRP (for the 2017 Red Magic-NX209J) and even though I have been able to unlock my cell via CMD commands; it remains permanently in fastboot mode?
If I send a CMD command to reboot it reboots straight back to fastboot mode.
No form of ADB connect seems to work an my windows PC cannot see/show the cell?
How the hell do I fix this? It's been in this state for a week.
Can anyone help?
Meaby try this?
Then, to unlock your bootloader, enter "fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J"
And meaby try the recovery backup instead of TWRP.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have no recovery back up Is it possible to get past TWRP being locked and use CMD to flash the International or chinese ROM? Or recovery image?
Unless tools are developed to unbrick this device I am scared this problem might be permanent
Download this twrp, and then upload it to google drive or something so the rest of us can download it too .

Thanks but what do i do with it? Its all in an asain language?
Link not open bro
The TWRP does not work
Sorry. That link to the twrp does not result in a bootable twrp recovery for me.
I am starting to think my cell is not fixable.
I did not do that much wrong I just flashed the twrp for 2 models of red magic earlier. It only has a fastboot mode. I either get a boot screen then fastboot mode or a warning about the bootloader being unlocked.
Whatever is wrong with my cell prevents ADB connect an the cell is not able to be seen by windows.
This $1100 New Zealand dollar cellphone may be permanently bricked by my mistake.
I might just need to bin it an buy another one.
Lesson learned.
It confusing....
My cell acts like it has a softbrick (can turn off an on an has fastboot options and I have erased it an OEm an bootloader unlocked it)
And also behaves like a hard brick (resists every method of repair).
I just do not understand it or Nubia products. I am unfamiliar with this phone.
Does anyone have any clue how I can see this cell on my windows pc or ADB connect it an boot into TWRP?
Are there any Nubia repair software tools?
I already share nubia red magic 3 twrp check my all post

Thanks for that. I'm talking about using CMD to totally wipe everything in the cell an reflash the Chinese ROM that came with it. Repair software. Might take months to develop software like that.

Also it isn't a zip. It's some other kind of file. And does not boot into TWRP on my unit
So are you able to unlock your bootloader in its current state?
If you have an older TWRP installed maybe try changing the model on your bootloader command to match it:
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX209J
If this works then flash the correct TWRP and the boot IMG from your original rom
fastboot flash recovery <new recovery>
fastboot reboot bootloader

Terrapin. Absolutely nothing worked. I am the 3rd person who has had this issue I know of. 2 other xda members had the same issue. One with TWRP like me an the other got stuck in fastboot mode after trying g to flash an apk of Gapps? I think these cells do not like tinkering. But your advice enabled me to be OEM and bootloader unlocked. But always.....straight back to fastboot mode no matter what I flash? My red magic 3 device is currently at a service center with a technician trying to solve the problem. I have 3 repayments left on my Xiaomi Mi9 that has zero flashing issues. O admit i.may be ignorant of the ways of Nubia ?

Thank God. Maybe the Chinese service guy I'm paying will get on xda an try your idea. I'm being lazy saying that lol. Thanks very very much. I will show your post to the service guy who has my red magic 3 or try it myself.
There's no way your a junior member working all this out. I'm a junior member listed as a senior member who makes rookie flashing errors with Chinese cellphones lol.
I will share if I can implement your ideas successfully. Thanks buddy my missus really loved this phone I felt really bad when I incapacitated it.
Fingers crossed.....
I have no idea how did you managed to flash the system.img
C:\adb>fastboot flash system system.img
target reported max download size of 805306368 bytes
Invalid sparse file format at header magi
LE: After this error, somehow it manages to continue and flash all partitions of the system, but after above tutorial, the phone still reboots in fastboot mode and cannot access recovery

Thanks for the help. I do not understand some of the commands an cannot seem to get them right? And I do not understand why the instructions say to cmd flash the image (IMG) via command prompt (which just errors like the strange NON-HLOS command?) Then the instructions say to flash the Chinese rom via otg?
Are you supposed to flash the ROM twice?
Can someone please give me some more detailed instructions as this cell has been non functional about 2 months now.
Planning to fix it an give it to my partner

My suggestions is, download a full sd card update package, unlock the bootloader temporarily,extract the update file and flash the vbmeta.img to vbmeta partion, then flash the recovery.img to recovery partition, after that, try to boot into recovery through bootloader. You have to make sure that you use all the same file from same package, if you are use a low version vbmeta file to boot a high version system (or recovery ) it will not boot. the vbmeta is very important on this phone.
I unlocked the bootloader a few months ago, flashed TWRP and installed Magisk and rooted. Discovered I can't use my work profile while rooted and Google Pay won't work with an unlocked bootloader. So I unrooted and removed Magisk, and locked the bootloader again. Then I got this notification for an OTA update to Android 11, but it fails at step 3 of 6, I assume it's because of TWRP.
I asked Motorola to send me the image(s) necessary for the recovery_a and recovery_b partitions but they refuse to help, despite the fact that as the owner of the device, I also own a license to use every piece of software that comes with it. Can anyone here provide me with the stock recovery image(s)? My phone gives me a notification every 10-20 minutes that this Android 11 update is available and it's incredibly frustrating that I can't get rid of it and Motorola won't give me what I need to fix it.
Thx in advance to anyone willing to help.
Look at https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/kiev/official/
Use the file that matches what you have on your phone.
Thank you for the link. However, my build number [QZKS30.Q4-40-95-9] isn't listed. Should I try QZKS30.Q4-40-95-6?

build number is not model number. As long as your device is "kiev" you can download any one of the firmware packages.
Or just download the 11 to start with

I understand, thank you for clarifying, but all I need is the recovery image. I just didn't want to flash a recovery image with a different build number in the unlikely event there's a difference between my build and whichever build I download. I'd prefer not to flash the whole system if I can avoid it, but whatever, I guess I'll just throw Android 11 in it.
Thx.
So, can someone let me know exactly how to flash the oem images to this phone? I booted into the bootloader and ran the following commands:
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot flash dsp dspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery_a recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery_b recovery.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase metadata
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
Now it just boot loops when powering on and entering charging mode.
EDIT: nevermind, I missed super.img_sparsechunk.9, all good now.
