XT1053 yesterday got into a never-ending reboot loop on around 20th second of loading up. I think the phone had the latest firmware update on it.
I tried to upload a new firmware:
GHOST_RETAIL_5.1_LPA23.12-15_cid9_CFC
RETAIL-US_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.29.1_2_cid9_CFC_1FF
TMO_5.1_LPA23.12-15_15
Using RSDLite 6.1.5
I always get:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
Any ideas how to proceed?
P.S. XT1053 is a US *unlocked* version purchased directly from Motorola.
I tried to upgrade from Android M preview 3 to 6.0 Marshmallow using the flash-all.bat.
There were error messages and the phone would not boot into recovery.
I went back to fastboot to flash files one at a time.
When I try to flash bootloader it fails with the "Preflash validation error" message.
Is this telling me that I can't flash the bootloader because it was already flashed during the (unsuccessful) flash-all.bat?
Can I flash the other files to get the phone back to working order?
Hi, I have the same issue. Were you able to flash the new bootloader?
I've read and heard from several people that the flash-all.bat doesn't work correctly. I'd recommend flashing the .img files separately.
Hi
I have a Razr i here that stopped booting today. Have tried factory reset but it freezes at the Intel logo. Thought I would flash stock firmware to it so downloaded:
Filename: CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-29_S7_USASMIJBRTGB.xml
Creation Date: 02/05/2013 08:54:18
File size: 1462
Sofware Version: XT890_emara-user 4.1.2 9.8.2I-50_SMI-29 1359963544 release-keysSUNRISE_SMB_REV30_V2_R3_1251.B
However when I flash it, it fails with:
Downgraded Security Version
Update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for the GPT
Fastboot command failed
The phone is definetly stock and not unlocked. I think this should be the stock firmware, so not sure whats wrong here. Sounds like the firmware is trying to downgrade the software - but that firmware is the latest release in the XDA superthread for the Retail GB. So not sure how the device could be ahead of that?
Am I missing something here?
I have a Moto G 2014 LTE XT1079 ASIAN Model (purchased in India)
Okay so i have no OS installed as of now as i unlocked the bootloader and somehow the OS got deleted.
I have TWRP recovery installed though. Whenever i try to install a custom rom like CM or Resurrection Remix, it shows be an error that this package i compatible for bootloader 0x4886 and 2 or 3 other bootloaders. it says that i have bootloader 0x4226. I want to change my bootloader so that i could install custom ROMS.
Does anyone have any idea about how i could do this.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP.

System files : Preflash validation Error
Ravi bro, its giving the same error when i flash the system.img sparesechunk img...and on the fone it says that 'image is too large'
i think i have an old bootloader. thats why it wont let me flash CM through TWRP also. it says that CM firmware is for bootloader 4886 while mine is 4226
also i have seen people flash bootloader.img also...but there is no such file here.
I have only 2 options left-
1. Get rid of the preflash validation errors
2. Update my bootloader.
i would be lovely if you could provide me with an updated bootlader.img file.
Ravi bro i will be very grateful to you if you could help me through this problem

You can take one from an OTA package for your phone. It's strange. My XT1072 came with a recent bootloader preinstalled, but try.
Note, it must be for thea, not titan or you will cripple or hardbrick your device.
I have a Moto G 2014 LTE XT1079 (Asian Model-Bought in India).
I do not have any OS installed.
I have unlocked the bootloader as on Fastboot screen it shows as Unlocked.
So i have downloaded the Stock Rom for Asian Model XT1079 which is required.
Whenever I try to flash it through Fastboot,
it gives me an error in 'fastboot flash partition gpt.bin' and also 'flashboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1'
The error given is (bootloader) Preflash Validation and just below that FLASH (remote failure).
I have been working on this for a period of 13 hours straight and have lost all hopes. It would really help if anyone can help in this. I have attached a photo of the files in the Firmware Folder.
