Downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.4

So I used the 4.4 root tutorial without any problems and then flashed the 4.4.2 update via sdcard.
The deal is that my supersu seems to be damaged, thought I still have root, the xposed framework can´t seem to receive supersu permission.
So I want to downgrade to the 4.4.
How should I do this?

Term "Downgrade" refers to "lowering" you version, in this case from 4.4 to 4.2.2. Now you just need to go back to 4.4
I am not sure whether your bootloader unlocked or not and what you version is, but I think this one will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2603358 or this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538896

Ok, so I have a locked bootloader. My guess is that I have the last version since I made the update to 4.4.2.
By having a locked bootloader I think I can´t downgrade to 4.2.2, right?
So I wanted to go back to 4.4 by following the commands below:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot reboot
But right on the first fastboot, I get this error:
downgraded security version
Update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation for GPT

you can't go back to the complete 4.4 package and honestly im not even going to tell you how to get 4.4 running because i wont be responsible for you hardbricking your phone.
4.4.2 has a new bootloader and 4.4 has a diffrent bootloader you cant downgrade the 4.4.2 bootloader at all. it is a one way street sorry

Most likely you tried to downgrade to the very first 4.2.2 (.31 in case of XT1058). It's not possible. You need the one after, with camera update (.54 for XT1058, for example, http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0)

please dont downgrade to 4.2.2 camera update downgrade to 4.4 you just have to not flash the gpt file but flash everything else.
if you flash 4.2.2 Camera update and then take the OTA for 4.4 you will brick your phone.

It is well documented that if you downgrade to ANY version, once on 4.4.2, you will brick your phone! It is literally all over the Moto X forums.
Wouldn't you feel awful if the OP followed your advice and bricked their phone???

NO! I have no idea why anyone would advise you to do that.....
Whatever exploit you had used to root on 4.4 does not work on 4.4.2
The only way to root (and achieve write-protect-disable), now that you are on 4.4.2 is to unlock the bootloader. Even with unlocked bootloader, you still can't downgrade without bricking.

I'll just add my two cents as well....as perfectly said already above....I'll just add....
NO. Do not ever try to downgrade to any version if you are on 4.4.2 or higher already. Unless you don't care at all if you brick and have the cash for a new phone or an old phone you'd be happy using again.
No. Some will debate this, and they should keep it to themselves.....unless they are offering to replace your phone if their advice bricks you. ?

@okaban , please do not advice people to downgrade, or lead them to believe its safe.
If you want to try it, go ahead....but keep it to yourself. Too many aren't confident with this stuff and will end up with a paperweight because you led them to believe they could do it.
So please, do not suggest downgrading. Its irresponsible and hazardous advice.
Thanks! ?

Sorry, quoted because I wanted to try and emphasize this advice... and add...
The GPT.BIN in 4.4.3 has been updated as well.. so Once you have either 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 on your phone, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DOWNGRADE!!!
If you try and downgrade only "parts" things wont work properly... example: Those who had 4.4.2 and downgraded only system.img and boot.img found issues going settings -> security... (it kicked them out). And other flakey things happened. When they attempted to update, things got worse.
4.4.4 will likely see updates to motoboot.img(bootloader) and GPT.BIN(partition table)... So the same warnings will apply.
It does NOT matter if your bootloader is unlocked or not. These same warnings and caveats apply!!

Good point at the end. After 4.4.2....some thought their unlocked phone was immune to these warnings.....or their dev edition....which every one should know now is no different than any other unlocked phone. Aside from intact warranty.
Great addition KidJoe! Doesn't matter the phone, locked, unlocked or dev edition......none can safely downgrade.
The moto x is nothing like a Nexus in this regard.

[SOLVED]Bootloader bricked, recovered, but fail when running firmware

Hello,
It had the original rom 4.4 on my XT1058 with root and unlocked bootloader, but was not getting running with 4.4.2 update for the original recovery. So I was going to be able to update and run fasthall.bat back to 4.2.2, but I opened the file and rebooted the machine to backup and forgot that it was open. Result: ****ed me.
I believe I have lost my bootloader, but following the tutorial of Gundabolu SC, unable to enter fastboot again, however, I can not run the sbf or RSD by flashall.bat.
I noticed that my phone with this LOCKED status, though I unlocked it.
To start the fastboot I run the code the tutorial I mentioned above, then it displays the following screen
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]Failed to hab check for gpt_main: 0x4e
CID Read Failure
Invalid CID Status 0x69
CustomerID error. Contact Dealer: 0xdead
No SP Partition found[/COLOR]
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Fastboot Reason: Invalid CID[/COLOR]
For both methods to recovery, it becomes part of gpt.bin and when arrives at motoboot, of the following error message:
Code:

the issue is the bootloader you are trying to install dose not match the one installed so it will fail everytime we have to find the right one to get everything installed correct
so we need to grab the 100% correct firmware package for your phone.
the model you gave me is for the AT&T version
here is the 4.4 AT&T firmware try installing this one
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=0&file=4

Sorry for double post there.
I remember that my device is the XT1058, but Brazil.
I downloaded the sbf, removed the max-download-size and run the RSD, but he brought me the same errors.

Sounds like you need to wait for the full 4.4.2 Brazil image to be posted for download to recover the phone.

Excuse me, but why do you think?
I did not get to install 4.4.2, I started to run the script flashall.bat 4.2.2 and thinking it would give time, it ended up damaging the bootloader.
Tried the firm indicated that dray_jr and 2 BR's, but it did not work.
I am very worried.

Did you try this, sounds like your trying to flash 4.2.2 firmware over 4.4.2 which won't work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2628940

Do you get the "downgraded security version" error when trying to flash 4.2.2 and 4.4 ?

I was going to try and probably would work (I've done this several times and has no secret), but it was not to start. I opened flashall.bat script but forgot to close it, because it was going back up yet, but the script detected the fastboot and started the process.
With seconds I removed the cable, barely gave it to start the first stage (before I left without turning back) and corrupted my bootloader.
I had the Original ROM 4.4 installed with root and unlocked bootloader, but even trying the 4.4 firmware I get the errors I described above.
Would have something to do with the tutorial I follow to start the fastboot?
I am Brazilian and even translating and reading what little I understand, I can not identify a problem as well. I'm scouring all here and trying something, but like I said, I am a layman and do not understand how the bootloader and related work.

With 2 firmwares I get the same error.

everytime i post here i reread the first thread and i am still not sure what you did.
so im going to ask some questions and see if we can't get some more info on this issue
1. Your device was 4.4 unlocked bootloader and rooted
2. did you try and install the 4.4.2 firmware
3. your device is the AT&T model but from Brazil
because if you are getting the gpt error on both 4.2.2 and 4.4 and it would lead me to think that the 4.4.2 bootloader is installed on your device.

1. Yes, I was running 4.4 with unlocked bootloader and rooted
2. I installed the original recovery to try the OTA update for version 4.4.2, but he returned me error halfway through the update, because my ROM was modified. That's when I thought of going back to 4.2.2 without changes and run the 4.4.2.

ok if i remember well first flash recovery from 4.4 firmware
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after then u ll be able to flash entire image of 4.4.2

could it be that even thou the 4.4.2 update failed that it still installed the new bootloader and that is why nothing else will install.
but either way he could flash the 4.4 firmware without the gpt file and then take the OTA and everything should be fine.

I will remove the line from gpt and try again.
Earlier I was testing at work and now I'm home. The 4.4 firmware download this lingering: (

you really can't cause anymore problems so this is what i would try because from what i have read if you try to install 4.2.2 or 4.4 you the a gpt.bin verification error. which means that neither 4.2.2 or 4.4 are the right bootloader.
That leaves us with some how the 4.4.2 bootloader got installed because it is the only bootloader that can't go to 4.4 so with that being said.
I would download the correct 4.4 firmware for your phone.
extract it
and use the below adb commands to install it but leave out the gpt.bin flash command
Code:
*leave this one out*fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot reboot
i think everything should install fine and your phone should boot up and from what i have read you should still be able to take the 4.4.2 OTA without bricking your phone

[Q] Please help in unbricking Atrix HD MB886

Hi
I have been playing around with my Atrix HD for quite a while now, installing almost all custom roms out there for MB866 (Found Gummy and Carbon to be the best, batakang and holoblur never worked for me).
Restored back to stock using RSD Lite many times (after editing the xml file, no problems)
The bootloader was of course unlocked during "all that".
Now here is the problem. After restoring to stock 4.1.1 (98.4.20.MB886.ATT.en.US) using RSD Lite, I updated to 98.5.38.MB886.ATT.en.US (small 6.2 MB Update recently released).Worked fine till here.
Then I downgraded to ICS and it also worked fine. What made things worse was when I checked for updates via About Phone--> System Updates and it prompted for an Update 98.4.20.MB886.ATT.en.US (the same i used to flash via RSD). But when the download finished, the phone is permanently stuck in fastboot mode with the following message:
----------------------------------------------
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (s)
10.9B(*) (sha-2e68372, 2012-11-17 23:33:08)
eMMC Info: Size 8GB
Device is LOCKED. Status Code:0
Battery OK
Transfer Mode: USB Connected
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
Failed to hab check for gpt_backup: 0x35
failed to load GPT
CID Read Failure
Invalid CID Status 0x69
No SP Partition found
Fastboot Reason: Invalid GPT
----------------------------------------------
You can see the phone is locked and RSD Lite doesent work at all giving "phone returmed fail" or " invalid partition error (battery is charged atleast 70%).
Any help in restoring the phone to "something" will be highly appreciated.
One of the problem is that i cannot find stock files for the latest 98.5.38.MB886.ATT.en.US update anywhere
Secondly is there any way to unlock Bootloader in fastboot?

"fastboot oem fb_mode_clear" should get it to stop booting into fastboot mode
The problem is the gpt partition is security locked and one of the fastboot commands thrown is to lock the phone into fastboot mode for every boot until the flashes are done. The command above is the one used to revert the first one (fastboot oem fb_mode_set if you're curious). Your bootloader isn't, or shouldn't I should say, locked again. The RAZR HD does the same thing if you directly flash a fastboot without removing the bad partitions and commands for unlocked phones flashing non-stock fastboots. The bad ones are the gpt partition and the oem fb* commands....there are a lot of guides that explain this and Mythtools (in AHD Developer forums) will do it all for you.

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear doesnt work, i tried it before as well, mythtools also cannt help as device status is locked and if rsd cannt flash it i believe myth also cannt.and the reason i say its locked is because it does not respond to any oem command.
it probably got locked after the ota which failed
if i could find fxz for 98.5.38.MB886.ATT.en.US, it may be restored otherwise is there any way around to unlock bootloder from fastboot??
these are the only two options i can think of amoungst which later is has the least probability.......

There isn't an fxz for that update yet. The one I would be able to make wouldn't include the correct gpt partition because I've flashed the Nextel fxz and none of the other gpt partitions from our stock fxz's will flash on my phone (there's a security lock on that partition). Though I know that between two or three of us here on xda, an fxz could be made with all the correct partitions from the update.
If you're positive that you were unlocked then just flash the Bell or Nextel 4.1.2 fxz's. They're not vulnerable to the heartbleed exploit which is the main reason that AT&T released the 98.5 update to begin with.
Have you tried "fastboot continue"? You might get lucky and the phone will at least boot up. And tried booting to recovery? Boot menu?
You can only unlock the bootloader from a rooted, running phone with ADB enabled. Can't do it in recovery or fastboot mode (unless you have a developer edition).

IIRC, the Nextel (Mex Retail) is the highest version we have unless the new AT&T one supersedes it.
I've only seen this issue one other time over at the RAZR HD forums. With the latest KK OTA they had, his failed and the phone booted to a similar screen you have. Nothing has worked for that guy yet that I'm aware of (haven't checked in about a week now).
Have you tried manually flashing an fxz, not with RSD or Myth (though Myth does flash manually via a script but it skips the gpt partition, IIRC). I'd start with the ATT fxz and if it fails manually then I'd flash the Nextel one...after that I'm out of ideas.

Came here after trying all that
Tried manually flashing but the phone returns FAIL on EVERY command, same with myth tools it executes but nothing really happen in the phone, dont know what went so wrong with the OTA
i am just confused if i should let it be or keep trying until i find a solution
COuld battery charge level be the problem, when it all started it was more than 70 percent and i didnt keep it on for long. it says battery ok but dont know whats the exact battery level as fastboot oem battery-status or voltage level are also restricted

Well, it seems that skeevydude told you all I want to say

Solved: Using Nextel (Mex Retail)
Thanks all for your replies
The device is alive now after restoring to Mexican Retail using RSD (editing the xml file and deleting ONLY the two lines having getvar)
Myth Tools never worked, RSD DID!
BTW the mexican retail is much much better than the ATT version because:
It gets rid of the ATT bloatware
SPecially the att address book
Hotspot is working out of the box
its speedier
android version is upgraded (4.1.2 instead of 4.1.1)
provides an option of manually switching to 2g/3g
and much more
thanks skeevydude, nextel was the last option remaining anyway...........and it automatically fixed the gpr issue

Isn't it already stated somewhere that if you are going to downgrade or change versions, you need to delete those lines anyways?

Yes it is, but thats only for upgrade, if downgrading the gpt line also need to be deleted, as i was not downgrading, only those two were required to be deleted which need to be specifically mentioned to avoid confusion

It is worth a shot for me too!
I have RSDLite and attempted to flash. It gives me error about unknown <getvar>. Deleted those line(s) according to another post I found.
Then everything passes but I am stuck on the Fastboot Flash Mode?
God I will be happy when uncle same gets through with my son so he can help is ole man, lol.
---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------
PROGRESS! I recalled skeevydude saying to stay alway from front USB ports and moved to back one and I now also have the Mex Retail version working. What a relief.
Now the bearing question is should I move on to another version like carbon or holoblur?
If ok to stay with this version, meaning will NOT get busted out by AT&T by using hotspot?
What do you recommend skeevydude?
Thank you so so so much.

Need 4.1.1..where can I find it? Tyvm

[Q] Invalid CID MOTO X XT1058

After attempting to upgrade rom stock KIT KAT 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 Lollipop over the air, I can not start the cell.
It is only on this screen "Fastboot Reason: Invalid CID".
It is not possible to go into bootloader, Flash attempts unsuccessfully by RSD Lite 6.1.5 and mfasboot.
In this case how to proceed.

Looks more like you tried to downgrade which you cannot do

@WillisD is 100% correct...
Notice the message in the first shot?
Code:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash vaildation failed for GPT
And the shot showing the top of the AP Fastboot screen shows 30.BC which is the bootloader version for the leaked test/soak 5.02...
You attempted to downgrade, and the phone doesn't like it.
Please see -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot..., and the impacts of GPT.BIN and MOTOBOOT.IMG
At this point, if your phone is saying Invalid CID and stops when it tries to boot, you are likely stuck until a 5.1 SBF for your phone/carrier leaks, and you can mfastboot fash it. It is the only SAFE way.
There might be other ways (look in the threads discussing the leaked 5.02), but I wont suggest them as they wont take you back to 100% stock, and also introduce version mismatches on your phone which could cause problems/issues.

You need flash moto boot and bootloader from 5.0.2 ota files and later can flash stock 4.4.4 me too brick my phone ..... And solved

flashed boot and bootloader from 5.0.2 and worked well, thanks makysssdroid

Just do NOT take any future OTA's if you're now running a gpt.bin and motoboot.img from a different rom than you are now running on your phone. If history is any indication, you are very likely to brick in this situation.

Bro,
Can you help me?
My phone is XT1056, and i am having the same error as you were,
Can you suggest me what to do?
I was on android 4.4.4, and by mistake i installed the Security Update,
after that my phone was i this state.

Hi, please, where can i get the latest gpt.bin and boot for a generic xt1058? cause mine is bricked and gpt.bin from every firmware (i tried LATAM, BR, and AR 21.12-15 and the one that last with .7 and it seems like the gpt.bin in those firms its not the last, i had no problem cause i skipped that part everytime, but atm my phone is bricked and i need to reflash bootloader and i cant cause older gpt.bin in the firmwares :S

[HELP] Moto X XT1058 AT&T fully bricked! I can't do anything!

So, as the title says, I had a Moto X XT1058 from AT&T.
I updated a long time ago to Lollipop and the phone worked perfectly fine until yesterday, when suddenly shutted down and when I restarted, got stuck on M logo.
I restarted to bootloader(?) pressing power off and vol down buttons.
The version that shows me is 30.BE
The device wasn't unlocked or rooted, because I was happy with the stock ROM, so it says Device is LOCKED ans Status Code 0.
I tried every option on this menu and everyone says (in red):
"No valid PIV block in SP for system
piv validation failed (system)
Boot up failed"
I tryed with abd, fastboot, mfastboot and RSDLite to flash gpt.bin and motoboot.img and every time I do it I get a error, and the operation fails.
For what I've read in tooooooo many posts, it's probably death, but I resist to this idea, so I came here to ask for advice.
THE PHONE IS NOT IN WARRANTY ANY MORE.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english (not my native language).

But I never flashed any ROM on this phone. I got Lollipop from a OTA update. My phone was stock. Never rooted, never unlock bootloader. I didn't find any tutorial to do it with this characteristics.
And it's an AT&T xt1058

The bootloader of the XT1058 from AT&T is'nt unlockable.... That's the big trouble. I've read that it can be done if it's no 4.2.2, but not if the version is newer.
