JB or ICS?

Im having the same or a really similar problem. When i select recovery it just says booting into recovery but never does. Im on ICS.

I had a similar issue. RSD Lite (https sites google com [slash] site [slash] motosbf [slash] rsdlite) is your first port of call, using the appropriate image from http sbf droid-developers org [slash] smi [slash] list.php .
However, that only partially worked for me. It failed first on the logo - so I extracted the zip from droid-devlopers, and edited the XML to remove the complete line <step operation="flash" partition="motoboot" filename="motoboot" ...
After that it would flash up to and including the radio, but then fail on the system_signed ( as it's over 100MB).
To get around that I used the enhanced fastboot from mattlgrof's package http forum xda-developers com [slash] showthread.php?t=1936512, and manually compted the final steps in the xml file in the extracted zip folder:
fastboot flash system system_signed
fastboot flash cdrom cdrom_signed
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Then a
fastboot reboot
And all was well - back to stock. Upgraded from there, and flashed CWM and then rooted. Hope this helps

Use RSD 6.1.4 and you won't have trouble with flashing the System...

Glad it worked I wish I'd known about the later version of RSD HSD-Pilot mentioned, as that makes it easier. Still, learning is good

[Q] Help! Bootloop on AT&T Moto X 4.2.2 OTA

I have an AT&T Moto X, and was happily running the 4.2.2 OTA camera update rooted. I unwittingly pressed install update to upgrade to KitKat, and now am stuck in a bootloop. Whenever the phone turns on, it immediately reboots, and keeps going in this cycle. I've tried to do factory resets from settings, but it reboots again and does the same thing. I can't even boot to recovery from power off, it just goes through the same cycle. Can anyone help me?

There's actually no line that erases user data, the only erase sections are
<step operation="erase" partition="modemst1" />
<step operation="erase" partition="modemst2" />
I edited the xml to remove the <step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" /> line
It worked fine for when I edited the 4.4 OTA, I got them both from Motorola at https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images for 4.2.2 I'm using JB 4.2.2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-17-57-6 which is the camera fix update

I'm going by Option 3 in this thread
I guess if I just fastboot erase cache and add "<step operation="erase" partition="userdata" />" to the xml perhaps it will be successful. Any idea where in the xml I need to add it? where they other erase lines are I would imagine? those are right before it does <step operation="flash" partition="fsg" filename="fsg.mbn" MD5="6C15610C6579346B34991186673F3125" />
Update: Yup, I needed to add that line, THANKS!

It's not a big deal if I lose userdata, I was just hoping I wouldn't have to but at this point to get 4.2.2 to boot properly I'd be fine with it, just wish there were some certainty it would work for sure.

I believe the lines are the last instructions for rsdlite?
It sounds like it worked fine but the only thing that wasn't attempted was erasing the cache and data, so I'm assuming that's why it won't boot. The last time I rsdlite I went from the at&t kitkat firmware to the T-Mobile version, I did not erase userdata and I had all kinds of FC's , reboots and warnings

Is the phone branded for a specific carrier? Usually you'll have to flash the carrier ROM to match the branded phone. Does the phone boot at all?

Looks like it was flashed to 4.4 by that error and you're trying to flash 4.2.2? If you're unlocked try just flashing the boot, system and recovery images or get a 4.4 image

Sounds like whoever had to before you flashed something strange to it. You should take a look at the link provided in an above post about resurrecting a bricked device. Looks complicated to me but it might be what you've got to do. The problem you're looking at seems to be that the bootloader is locked.
I did notice that there are two firmwares for your brand of device on this URL:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
One is version Blur_Version.139.12.35.ghost_row.AmericaMovil.en.PR and the other is Blur_Version.139.7.26.ghost_row.AmericaMovil.en.PR, I've bolded the version numbers. I would download and try to flash them both. Also from my own experience don't change the file name either (you probably didn't, but it should be said anyway) since they are likely signed and I've had serious problems with trying to flash firmwares where I changed the file name.
If you can't get RDS to work, try this method here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446515 which covers both RDS and my favorite the mfastboot method. Now you'll have to do a little work yourself since this guide is for Verizon but there is an XML file inside the zipped update file that you should be able to pull the information you need out of. Inside the XML file you'll see a series of "Steps" (they look like this:
Code:
<step operation="oem" var="fb_mode_set" />
<step operation="flash" partition="partition" filename="gpt.bin" MD5="4C9F15C80FED62BAB7A042FDBA4D7A2F" />
<step operation="flash" partition="motoboot" filename="motoboot.img" MD5="34B3A02418240C805CCB2998B2343261" />
<step operation="flash" partition="logo" filename="logo.bin" MD5="1F8DBC99E41DFB7596DBC78687AC5E7B" />
<step operation="flash" partition="boot" filename="boot.img" MD5="49C02FCD26133923B1B4F2CFE862C422" />
<step operation="flash" partition="recovery" filename="recovery.img" MD5="62DCB8F941BEC9D824146453834CD3FE" />
<step operation="flash" partition="system" filename="system.img" MD5="1D5214E5171BE9894D0413322D2DD211" />
<step operation="flash" partition="modem" filename="NON-HLOS.bin" MD5="57B83F54B07922B9CBAF3C4125CBA8A1" />
<step operation="erase" partition="modemst1" />
<step operation="erase" partition="modemst2" />
<step operation="flash" partition="fsg" filename="fsg.mbn" MD5="BAB00624486527FE415D8BACFF875C99" />
<step operation="erase" partition="cache" />
<step operation="erase" partition="userdata" />
<step operation="erase" partition="customize" />
<step operation="erase" partition="clogo" />
<step operation="oem" var="config carrier vzw" />
<step operation="oem" var="fb_mode_clear" />
Your XML will look similar, but different. The main difference is going to be the "config carrier vzw" line, I don't have the XML file from your update but to give you an idea on how this translates, here is the sequence of commands to manually flash the Verizon update (derrived from the XML file contents above):
Code:
mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
mfastboot flash modem non-hlos.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot erase customize
mfastboot erase clogo
mfastboot oem config carrier vzw
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear
mfastboot reboot
If you take these two sections (the commands and the XML) you should be able to see how to get the commands from the XML and turn them into mfastboot commands. My little bit of research (please understand I did like 2 minutes of quick looking around) suggests that the only real difference is going to be the line containing "oem config carrier vzw" and the sequence is important so you'll notice the XML has the same sequence as the list of commands, you should find what to replace the config carrier command by looking right after erase clogo and right before fb_mode_clear in your own XML file. If you need any help doing this, let me know and I'll do my best.
If that fails, however, you may need to look into unlocking your bootloader, which I haven't personally done, but I have read a number of people who have done it. The best way is, if your device is supported, to use this method here (the official Motorola method):
https://motorola-global-portal.cust...e/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/action/auth
Anyway, that is the best I've got. I hope something works for you, you may also want to see if you can get ahold of who sold you the device and find out if they did anything strange to the device - like flashing a non-standard firmware or some such.

i agree with this guys sounds like previous owner flashed a 4.4 or 4.4.2 rom so now that you have the UK rom up and running all you need to do is download the 4.2.2 rom for your phone and just flash the modem file and reboot your device and you should have youe data and other stuff back.

Dear ALL: Problem solved! I can flash the modem files with RSD from different version of original ROM.
THANKS FOR YOUR ALL HELP!!!!!!!!

Did I just perma-brick my Moto X? Help please!!

Hi Everyone,
First of all, you are welcome to bash my noobness to the moon and back.
I have a VZW DE Moto X, Unlocked Bootloader. I accepted the 4.4.2 OTA update today and it broke Rootcloak for this app that I use, so I decided that I was going to SBF back to 4.4 (I know, mistake #1). So I followed the reference guide to a T to "return device back to stock" and once I was done running the commands, I booted up the phone and now it is in funky colors and I cannot read the display.
So here's where I'm at: I do have two TWRP recoveries on my PC, one from 4.4 and one from 4.4.2. I do have TWRP recovery on the phone, but since I did a device wipe I don't have the recoveries on my phone. Lastly, I can't get ADB to recognize my device now when it is in fastboot mode. so I don't know how to get the recoveries back on my phone. Can anyone save me? I would forever be grateful! :crying:

Yes you can flash them, you could remove this command if you don't want it to wipe all your installed apps and files:
<step operation="erase" partition="userdata" />

You should be able to recover from this as I believe I had the same or similar issue. I had horizontal lines through the boot operation then the screen would go black and I would have to hold the power button down for several seconds before I could get into recovery. I used fastboot to reinstall the fxz linked above and am back up and running. I actually did it twice while trying to push the tether hack. the only difference is that I never installed the new bootloader or GPT.

So guys... now that I am back to factory... should I be able to restore my backup from 4.4? And then eventually take the OTA? Or should I just stop playing with fire.

I don't believe you can go back because of the bootloader, you can always try but you may end up redo ing the fastboot thing. The fxz is true 4.4.2 so there really is no reason to go back

I would be careful with the 4.4 nandroid and no, don't take the 4.4.2 OTA if you are on the 4.4. system but the 4.4.2 bootloader. If you restore to the 4.4 system but are on the 4.4.2 bootloader, you will brick your device if you take the 4.4.2 OTA from what I have read. This is because the 4.4.2 OTA will be trying to patch the 4.4 bootloader and partition table but you are already on the 4.4.2 bootloader and partition table.

Anyhow, if you restore to 4.4, but freeze the OTA app and don't take the 4.4.2 OTA unless you are back on 4.4.2 stock.

Can he restore it? Also do you still have twrp installed? If so you should be protected. If you just want your data back you can restore then push 4.4.2 with fastboot without any of the erase commands and be upgraded.

I don't believe you can go back because of the bootloader, you can always try but you may end up redo ing the fastboot thing. The fxz is true 4.4.2 so there really is no reason to go back

unlocked devices ARE able to downgrade to 4.4, probably 4.2.2 as well; read the updated op and the rest of the thread for details. it's not that much reading.

you CAN reapply the ota after flashing back to 4.4. the updater script sees that the motoboot parts and gpt are already upgraded and just skips them; you will not brick.

Ok, good to know. Everyone is scaring me so much on these forums that I will brick my device that I am afraid to even take the OTA myself, lol! I froze the OTA app for now until I am sure I understand the fire I am playing with.

Yes this forum is full of conjecture. And at this point I may be adding to it. The whole bootloader thing is a nightmare.

[Q] Where can I download 4.4.4 flashable through TRWP

I recieved 5.1 OTA but want to go back to 4.4.4.
As I found out, Moto says, that we cant donwngrade to 4.4.4 with RSDlite. So I want to install TRWP and use a backup to install 4.4.4
In best case there is a backup of the Stock-Rom. Is there one? If not, which one is the one nearest to the stock (moto x features, ....)

if you want to use the motorola features than you need stock rom. ask someone to make twrp backup of system and boot running 4.4.4 and flash it in your device

You can use this ROM or just delete few lines from XML in FW for RSD.
If You delete this lines
Code:
<step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size"/>
<step operation="oem" var="fb_mode_set"/>
<step MD5="e059929f2668935282b8248b028d015d" filename="gpt.bin" operation="flash" partition="partition"/>
<step MD5="2b664024c8a421245b814e3b7c4c5077" filename="motoboot.img" operation="flash" partition="motoboot"/>
You can flash stock 4.4.4 ROM with RSD.

Really? I'm already on STOCK 5.1_OTA. As I wrote I can't flash 4.4.4 through RSDlite.

Is your phone bootloader locked? Hardware model, installed system version? More details, pls.
You could flash via fastboot then. Or I can give you 4.4.4 TWRP, but it's for unlocked only.

Sorry, here are the missing infos
XT1052
Bootloader locked (but will be unlocked soon)
Stock 5.1 recieved automaticaly OTA
Baseband MSM8960PRO_BP_23255.138.89.00R

LPA23.12-15

Good. Now I get why can't you install via RSD. Unlock it as soon as possible, but don't flash anything (especially including bootloader). I'll give you TWRP flashable 4.4.4 today evening.
P.S. And I also need your byke and clothes modem dump ) Instructions will follow.
. . .
UPDATE. Well, it isn't ready yet (( But after unlock you can flash any system+boot easily by fastboot commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
But DON'T flash bootloader!!! It can brick the phone
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
Or similar in RSD:
<step operation="flash" partition="partition" filename="gpt.bin" MD5="e83806da807e62fd6ffa08e330abe582" />
<step operation="flash" partition="motoboot" filename="motoboot.img" MD5="2b664024c8a421245b814e3b7c4c5077" />
