Back Story:
I cracked the screen on my Moto X a few days ago and just received my insurance replacement. Before I send the old one back I want to return it to stock. I am attempting to do so using RSD Lite and the FXZ from the the Android Development section.
My problem is that the usb drivers are not installing correctly! I downloaded the device manager, and when my phone connects and Windows says it is installing driver software it returns this error. (see attached)
As a result, I cannot get the phone to be recognized by RSD Lite, therefore not being able to return to stock.
PLEASE HELP!
Troubleshooting up to this point:
-Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers
-rebooted computer
-rebooted phone
-tried different usb ports
-tried new phone
In case I cannot resolve this issue, is there another way to return to stock? I really don't think Asurion will like me very much when they try to factory reset this phone and nothing happens

I had this issue too. Simply boot into the bootloader and choose BP Tools. Your computer should recognize it now. Also, make sure you have USB Debugging checked in developer options in the phone settings. If you are running Windows 8 you may run into issues running RSD Lite. If that is the case you can use fastboot to flash back to stock. Simply unzip the FXZ and place the fastboot files in the same folder. Then boot your phone into the bootloader. and connect your phone. Run the following commands:
cd C:\<the directory your files are in>
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin (optional: this is the boot logo)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize (optional: will erase any customizations if ordered through motomaker)
fastboot erase clogo (optional: will erase the custom boot logo if ordered through motomaker)
fastboot oem config carrier <carrier name>
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
That should reset your phone. You may want to double check the oem commands against the ones listed in the xml file in the zip. I have the AT&T version and that's what I'm basing it off of.
EDIT:
You can also just flash the recovery partition and factory reset that way. However, it might not erase any root files. I've done some factory resets on other devices and maintained root.
EDIT 2:
I attached the fastboot files in case you needed them.
EDIT 3:
Just though of this. Make sure when you run RSD Lite that your phone is booted into the bootloader.
Thank you!
So...I tried to get it recognized using the Motorola drivers, but it just was not working. Instead, I attempted to update the drivers manually to Android ADB interface while in the bootloader. This worked, and my device was recognized. However, RSD Lite still failed to work, so I did it manually thru command prompt. I double checked all the commands with the Verizon XML file, and it worked!
Thank you for giving such an exhaustive reply. I am still unable to get the phone recognized with Motorola drivers, but the Android ADB drivers I already had on my computer seem to work. I'm not too smart on that stuff, so maybe someone can explain why this is and why I was able to get it to work.

Glad to hear you were able to get your phone back to stock. I haven't figured out why it does that either. Never had that issue with my other phones and they were Motos too.

I'm very new to this. I got caught up in the PwnMyMoto boot loop after the Verizon OTA. I am trying to reload the phone back to Factory Default without root. When I try to use the commands above I get the error "Variable not supported! target reported max download size of 805306368 bytes
I have the files in the same directory as fastboot.exe so they are in the path. Can anyone tell me why I am getting this error, and what I can do to resolve it? Thanks

Hello guys,
Today when I tried to plug my headphones to listen to music, I noticed that the pone hardly recognises them. First I thought it was problem of the headphones but I tried to plug another and I almost must keep my finger pressing the cable where is plugged
So I think is problem of the headphone jack.
I have the bootloader unlocked so the warranty is void. I want to know if there is any method to lock it again to re valid the warranty

It´s hard because when you did the Bootloader Unlock procedure on Motorola website you gave to them your IMEI, so theorically if you send the phone to repair it will be rejected.
But I don´t. Here on Brazil a lot of users had general problems with Razr i, sended the phone with BL unlocked to the technical support and got a new one... So I don´t know, it deppends of how stuff works with Motorola in your country..
The command "fastboot oem lock", or something else, doesn´t work as other phones. So the bootloader is not lockable again via PC...

the command fastboot oem lock works, but two things:
The warranty is still void, because you require the code in the motorola website
The BL still show the "WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED" message
So if you want to lock the bootloader and don't want the "WARNING BOOTLOADER (...)" message follow this commands, This will delete your /data & /cache partition, and you need flash motorola signed files (firmware):
cd (firmware folder)
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot flash boot boot_signed
fastboot flash bos bos_signed
fastboot flash cdrom cdrom_signed
fastboot flash gpt gpt_signed
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot
fastboot flash radio radio_signed
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed
fastboot flash system system_signed
fastboot flash ulogo ulogo_signed
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
the first command will start the lock and wait for signed partitions, all the fastboot flash (...) commands will flash ALL the partitions signed's; the fastboot flash ulogo_logo will remove the "WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED" message; "fastboot erase (...)" will wipe the data partitions (required); Fastboot oem lock finalizes the bootloader lock process

No, Only fastboot flash ulogo logo_signed.
If you flash ulogo file still show warning bl unlocked, but if you do in fastboot "fastboot oem lock" they said: [FAIL] Already locked :silly: maybe motorola don't want the users relock the bootloader
Is our phone water resistant? Not submersions Because I had a problem when it was raining is that the problem? Does Motorola warranty covers this?

Would do the same procedure on the Motorola Razr HD? In firmware does not have the files "bos_signed, gpt_signed, motoboot and radio_signed" if any can help, I really need. Grateful.
After reading a lot of threads, it seems like hope is not lost since the device is unlocked. However, the methods that have come up for fixing bricked phones require adb access and or USB debugging enabled.
The file system is also corrupted somehow because flashing TWRP results in hanging at the TWRP logo. CWM works until I make it do a function and the screen hangs.
Help is greatly appreciated
Edit: Trying ADB sideload with a rom or two on hand (CM 11 & 12) induces the error "...Can't install this package on incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset"
> Tried to factory reset on CWM and it hangs, back to square one
But you obviously have fastboot access in fastboot mode?
Try erase commands from there and flash recovery. As last resort flash a factory image?
I get a 'Permission Denied; Remote Failure' error when attempting any of the fastboot erase commands
If you have fastboot you should be able to use either fastboot commands or rsdlite to flash back to 100% stock

had same twrp hanging at logo recently after some mess. Here is what brought moto back to life
In the command prompt window type the following commands

Hello, please help me with the following.
My Moto X4 (XT1900-7) recently got the Android 9 (Pie) update. Since then I have problems with wifi and it's always dropping. Because of that I reset the phone, but now I can't even log into Play Store, because wifi keeps dropping all the time. I can't use the phone at all. Every guide I've tried getting back Android 8.1 back didn't work so far. Maybe the guides were **** or I simply didn't understand them. Also, my recovery mode doesn't even start.
I've downloaded "PAYTON_OPW27.57-40_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml". Would that be the correct version to install?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

This one:
PAYTON_OPWS28.46-21-16_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
but two things:
1) Your bootloader needs to be unlocked. If you have a locked bootloader and try to go 9 -> 8.1 you are bootlooped.
2) You will still get prompts to upgrade to Android 9. You can ignore them but they won't ever go away.
Yeah, I first need to unlock the bootloader, but that's where the problems start. I found a guide on motorola web page: motorola-global-portal[.]custhelp[.com]/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b
I've downloaded Android SDK (1 GB??!) and installed it. Then I've installed Motorola Device Manager. I've set my X4 to Fastboot Mode. The next step "On your desktop, open a command prompt or terminal, and go to the directory where you installed the Android SDK tools (or make sure fastboot is in your $PATH)" I don't even understand. How do I "go to the directory", and what's my "$PATH"? That guide is as bad as it gets. I doesn't explain anything.
Edit: I've tried it through minimal adb fastboot command and could get my unlock-key. let's see how it goes from now on.
Thanks so far.

I only get error messages when entering all the fastboot commands.
FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
I could flash it using my laptop now, but when turning it on it says "verity mode is set to logging" and keeps on rebooting in a loop. Then I tried using twrp and mount it using an sd card, but that gave me error messages. are you sure this version is the right one for me? How difficult can it be? I wanna smash the phone against a wall.

It is the correct Oreo firmware for your device.
Re-verify the commands you're entering to flash are:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase carrier

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Bootloader is unlocked (the bottom of your fastboot screen says 'flashing_unlocked')?
Are you trying this in windows or linux?
I tried this version: PAYTON_OPWS28.46-21-16_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT very often on my laptop (I guess it was a problem with the usb-ports on my normal pc), but I couldn't get my device to work. It always said "verity mode is set to logging". Then I tried installing PAYTON_OPW27.57-40_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT once (with my laptop) and it worked without any problems. The only thing is, that the device now says it's not the correct os when booting.

But it didn't boot though. It showed this text and it kept restarting over and over again.
It's fine now with this PAYTON_OPW27.57-40_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml version, but I always get the notifications that I should update to Android 9. I don't have any wifi problems whatsoever.
Do you have a solution on how to really disable / block those?
Hello,
I have the following problem. I unlocked the bootloader with the MI Unlocker after I waitedf freaking 360h.
I then tried to flash Xiamoi EU Rom - something didn't work as expected and I tried to flash the offical rom from miui com.
During the fastboot flash the phone stuck and screen go black. I tried to power off and power on but it doesn't react to anything
Fastboot shows the device as ????????..if I try a fastboot reboot FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error)).
Any ideas what I can do to fix this?
Well, explain the steps you did please.

As I wrote I first unlocked the bootloader
Installed TWRP and flashed the EU ROM from xiamoi.eu.
Since Google Pay wasn't working on this one either I wanted to return to the global image EEA.
So I downloaded the offical tgz with the flash_all.bat in fastboot mode..
It started but stuck at the elf file..screen went black and since that the fastboot only shows ????????
I tried holding power for 10, 15,30.up to 2min..it didn't turn of the LED is blinking when hitting the power button.
Thats all

Download FASTBOOT ROM from the official site and unzip it.
After charging the phone for a while, press and hold the Power button and Volume +-button for a few seconds.
If FAST BOOT starts, flash the unzip FAST BOOT ROM with the following command:
Some of the commands may end in an error, but ignore it and proceed to the end.
Try it. Wish good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion but you may overerad the one important point..I tried already ...
it doesn't responds to power button press in any way except the LED is BLINKING at that moment i press it.
I have tried Power + Volume+ and - nothing really nothing happens..the battery is fully charged.
Well I return it and fill RMA.

Yes, the MT65xx preloader means you have a MediaTek processor.

I dont have the MediaTek DA USB VCOM driver installed, so at the moment it only shows up a unknown device. Could you help my find the correct driver? Also, if i manage to get the tool to flash the phone do i have to untick any component from the list? (like preloader) or i jus select everything?
Thank you in advance
Hey good news i finally was able to resucitate the phone! i found the drivers searching for the device id shown in device manager. I used the latest sp flash tool with my oem rom with all the firmware modules selected and got it working!. Now im trying to relock the bootloader to completly restore it to factory defaults.
