(USA) XT1064 2nd Gen please help me restore! No backup :(

I foolishly didn't create a backup. I know. Stupid of me.
I have a Moto G 2nd Gen model XT1064 (USA, purchased at Best Buy off contract, Single SIM). I can fastboot and I have TWRP recovery installed. I cannot find a rom that works however. Of all the .zips I've downloaded only one, a dual SIM UK version, boots. But it does not recognize my SIM or wifi chip. The others fail without giving me an error as to why.
UPDATE: This thread.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/restore-to-stock-t2873657 helped restore my wifi, though the firmware linked was a dual sim and I cannot enable my SIM card, the option is grayed out.
I have tried over the past day to try and get this to go back to its factory image with no luck at all. I have a Nexus 4, seeing as it has a toolkit and factory images readily available, its always easy to work on. This Moto G is a different story.
What do I need to get this back right? I may already have the files and not even realize it..
Thanks for any help!

You cannot use custom recovery(TWRP) to flash this.
You need to follow this and you will lose data.
Unlock the bootloader.
Download Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US from droid-developers dot org slash phone device 36
Unzip that file into your fastboot folder
Enter Fastboot on your phone (how to: hold power and volume down until your device turns off, then hold it another 5-10 seconds, then let go and you should see a basic text screen)
Use these commands on your computer while being in the fastboot folder.
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
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata

Once you get back to full stock 4.4.4, take a look at this so you won't need to do that again. This (TWRP) will also backup your PDS should you somehow bork the MEID or anything later...
Cheap insurance
EDIT: TWRP doesn't backup PDS by default. You must select it prior to the backup. Just thought I should clarify that.

Stock image for XT1097?

Hi,
I have a Brazilan version XT1097, bootloader unlocked but no root yet.
I cannot install anything from play store because I get an error that does not say much.
All I did was trying to root using a guide I found that tells you to use CF-Autoroot, but it just did not work.
Then I installed TWRP to see if there was any ROMs available since I came from the Nexus 5 and was used to see tons of ROMs on xda to grab and flash.
To my surprise, none is available so far.
Now I am trying to find the original 1097 images to flash on my device and go back to stock.
Might even give up on root, if necessary, but I need the phone back
Any ideas on how to proceed?

A different problem now
The user seco2004 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4946010) has provided me with his backup image.
I followed the steps on the motorola website to flash all the files but my phone is stuck at the bootloader warning message, that one that says that the bootloader is unlocked.
When I entered TWRP to wipe all over again, it says there is no system installed...
Any pointers are most welcome!

I'm not sure if this is what you tried before, but there's pretty much no chance of anything going wrong if you follow the commands:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
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 (maybe you missed this part? instead of the "system.img", you need to flash the system files one at a time, something like: mfastboot flash system systemfile_1.img, the mfastboot flash system systemfile_2.img, and then proceed with the commands below)
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
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem config carrier vzw
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
After all this the phone should boot normally into stock 4.4.4. Sorry for the delay, Tapatalk didn't notify me , hope you got it fixed already.

secco2004 shared me his backups

But is it 1097 lollipop or 1095 with the módem from 1097? Can you share dais backup? I'm Being unable to tether and would like to find out if it is the rom or the phone.
Greetings !

It was actually the KK 4.4.4 original images.
I had to update to lollipop right after via OTA.
IDK if secco2004 allows me to share it. Could you PM him, please?
He posted recently on the topic.

Yeah, it was actually the 4.4.4 Brazilian firmware, feel free to share it. For lollipop I have just the flasheable zip.
Sent from my XT1097 using Tapatalk

Since secco2004 said it is ok to share, tell me if you want me to sent it somewhere...
It is the XT1097 4.4.4 brazilian original images.

hey, can I have XT1097 stock images please?

I also need it
I flashed NX CM12.1 v3.0 rom and lost gps.
Someone in the thread said that i have to go back to stock, verify gps is working properly... blah, blah, blah.....
So the thing is that i don´t know what stock image to use on my phone and where to get it.
It is a XT1097.
Can any of you guys help me?

Need help please
I've flashed ATT_XT1097_5.0.2_system_ ext4_ root.zip using Mofo.exe and followed directions to the T but soon as its done flashing I reboot back into fastboot mode to wipe the cache but gives me error hab check failed for recovery failed to validate recovery image boot up failed. Please any help would be a life savor i'm lost. Anyone know where to find recovery.img file for Moto X XT1097 stock image file maybe I can flash in fastboot mode? I just hope I Dont have a bricked device. I am stuck in bootloop mode and can't wipe cache.

Thanks!
I really thank you, it worked for me! :good:

[Q] lollipop to kit kat?

Is it possible to downgrade from lollipop to KitKat? Is there any guide out there?
I have a simfree uk motox 2014 from Motorola, currently unrooted
Please let me know!
Thanks and happy holidays

If your X has an unlockable bootloader you can flash the KK factory image, if it's available for your model.
Edit: You can't just flash factory image to downgrade. See my post below.

Bear with me as I'm quite new to the motox world (...I have experience with custom roms for other older xperia devices):
1) I purchased the sim-free uk version from motorola, how can I check if my bootloader is locked?
2) if locked, is there a way to unlock it without permanently loosing warranty?
2) do I need to root in order to flash the kk factory image?
Cheers

1.) Go here- http://goo.gl/pt01c
2.) There are no unofficial means to unlock your bootloader. If it is unlockable via Motorola's official tool, it still might void your warranty. I am unfamiliar with warranties anywhere other than the US so you'll need to check and see.
3.) No.

Sorry to revive an old thread but there are no bootroms or any files that will have an issue with downgrading if I use the factory image? I remember some phones brick when downgrading. I'm using a pure edition from the U.S.

You can do it but apparently it's not as simple as flashing the factory image. Here are the instructions, given to me by a friend who got them from Motorola. Proceed at your own risk, I am not responsible... yada yada.

fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache

Good luck.

It shouldn't come with 5.0. I just got a replacement one last week and it still had KK on it so I'm betting they're all still shipping with KK. Not sure about RSD light, but if you're familiar with fastboot, it really is all quite simple to do. Probably take you 3 minutes total. But again, you shouldn't have to worry. And I agree, xposed is a necessity.

Huh, I had never heard of RSD Lite before... I have just been using mfastboot.

Just saw your mfastboot edit, you might have to use it. I haven't done anything fancy on my X, so I've just been using fastboot on my Nexus 5. I guess on the X people have been using mfastboot instead.
And don't be nervous, some things just take longer to flash than others.

Thanks. I'll use mfastboot just to be sure (If I even need to downgrade). Now to wait for that Walnut Finish to come back in stock :/

mfastboot is especially for Motorola devices..
with the adb commands posted earlier, one could use RSDLite, but one would need to modify the XML file included in the firmware zip, IF an XML file is included, some of the later available firmware doesn't include the XML file..
RSDLite is particular software for Motorola devices..

Just an FYI:
I downgraded back to Kitkat yesterday, and it worked perfectly. Just too many bugs in Lollipop...
I used the steps above, except for flashing the bootloader. I have heard that people have bricked their Moto G trying to flash older bootloaders when going back to Kitkat (something about the bootloader not loading pre-Lollipop kernels or something). Wasn't sure if this would be the same for the Moto X. Thought I would try without it first.
Edit: I used mfastboot as well.

Wasn't sure if this would be the same for the Moto X. Thought I would try without it first.
Edit: I used mfastboot as well.

So you skipped "fastboot flash boot boot.img"?

No, that is the kernel I think.
I skipped: fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

Ok so just the below steps then?
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin (MUST do if going back to KK)
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
So people with the Nexus 6 are stuck with buggy Lollipop. I guess I'm glad I couldn't get the 64GB one I wanted when they sold out so fast.

Yep, I think you can skip the reboot-bootloader right after it too. Can't remember if I did that... Of course doing that step won't hurt anything, so just do it anyways I suppose.
Also remember to use Motorola's fastboot when flashing the system image, I don't think the regular fastboot supports such a large image size. I used mfastboot for everything so that I would remember to do it.
Yeah, lollipop bugs need to be ironed out first. I messed around a bit with my friend's Nexus 6 before I bought the Moto X. It was just ridiculously huge. The Moto feels like a more properly sized and refined design, even though the Nexus 6 feels like a stretched out Moto X. I wish 64 GB was available when I bought my Moto, oh well, I will have to make do with OTG.

Haha my main device is sadly an iPhone 6 right now, and that's too big. I prefer the size of the iPhone 5S or the first gen Moto X. I want to be able to use the entire device with one hand while being secure in the fact that a movement or gesture won't loosen my grip on it. Sadly the world is just making bigger phones now, and the few smaller ones out there are "cheap" low budget/power options.

[HELP] Moto X bricked. How to unbrick it?

let me explain what exactly happened. l was running LiquidSmooth v3.2 on my Moto X. I have flashed few roms previously as well. I was facing no issues whatsoever but still wanted to upgrade to LiquidSmooth v4.0. So this time when I got on fastboot menu
and chose recovery, I got invalid kernel/ ramdisk size error. I was not able to enter recovery menu and this has happened to me for the first time. I chose normal reboot and then even the phone was working fine. But now, things have gone worse. I entered fastboot menu again and by mistake chose factory option instead of recovery. Phone started rebooting i think. As i had installed LiveLog app on my phone all I could see was logs on the screen. I waited for around 45 minutes but phone didnt boot up. I switched off and restarted again but same result. I think it is bricked. Is there any way I can get my phone back to working state? Any kind of help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Returning to Stock
Step one
Downloading the required drivers and software
Motorola Device Drivers
https://motorola-global-portal.custh...ail/a_id/88481
Android SDK
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
MFastboot(Used for manually downgrading to 4.2.2)
http://mark.cdmaforums.com/X-STUFF/mfastboot-442.zip
For firmware Download from the link below
http://www.filefactory.com/file/3qr..._4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26_18_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step Two
Returning device Stock and Locking Bootloader
1. Open your firmware and extract the files to the same folder as adb/fastboot and mfastboot.
2. open a CMD window and CD into the directory that we just extracted all the files too
3. type below commands one by one
Code:
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 flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot oem lock
i recommend wiping your device also but that is up to you if you dont want
to then skip the next two commands and just type the reboot command
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
after your phone is done rebooting you will be completely stock firmware of your choice
Enjoy

you can def do that but if you want to try to bring it back to life without going to stock you can try this.
Flash your custom recovery again threw fastboot. then after that if you can boot into it just reinstall LS rom and try and boot your phone up if no luck then just follow the above guide from my thread and return to stock and redo everything

Thanks for the help guys. I have a question here : Will returning to stock undo root ? And do I have to unlock the bootloader again ??

Yes Root Romoved, don't use last command "fastboot oem lock" if you want bootloader still unlocked

Sound advice above... Except there's no reason to lock your bootloader again. I'd skip that part. And remain unlocked. ?

Thanks a lot. I will try this method today and then flash LiquidSmooth v4.0. Just in case if I face any problem, I'll be back.

I'm facing problems downloading the firmware from the filefactory. Is there any mirror link ?
Also, for this operation do I have to use this file only or can I use LiquidSmooth v3.2 file as well?

what carrier is your phone from i will try and find a good like for the stock firmware.
but like i said i would try to just flash the custom recovery and see if you can boot into it. if you can you might not have to go back to completely stock from the recovery you can iinstall liquid smooth rom. it has its own kernel so it should fix the kernel issue and system issues. if not then you can go back to flashing everything to stock.

It didn't come with any carrier. I bought it here in India.
Sorry for the noobie question here, but does USB debugginv needs to be on for this, as I dont remember if its on or not.
Also, can you please guide me through the steps so that I do not make any mistakes this time. I'm really scared this time and I don't wanna hard brick my phone. I'd be really very thankful.

Thank you for your help, guys.
I think I am back to factory because I'm no longer getting the LiveLogs on the boot up screen. I'm getting the stock Motorola bootup screen that means LiveLogs and all other apps have been removed. But again, I'm still stuck on boot. Its not going past Motorola logo.
One more thing, while returning back to recovery, on cmd screen I was getting <bootloader> Variable not supported error.

No. USB Debugging does not need to be on when using RSDLite or mFastboot.

At this point, I would consider redoing the steps outlined by @dray_jr earlier in this thread.. with a few tweaks...
its important to be using the correct ROM for your phone. Is there fine print on the back of your phone, does it say XT1052? If so, the link to the Asia XT1052 4.4.4 rom should be correct.
Next... use mfastboot for ALL parts, not just system.img, and follow these steps.. Yes, the are very similar to what you did already, and yes, i know some are repeated, that is intentional.
mfastboot getvar max-download-size
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot reboot-bootloader
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 reboot
OPTIONAL, but in your case might be necessary: just before the final mfastboot reboot command, issue... mfastboot erase userdata this will erase your apps and data.
If any of these commands fail, please make sure you capture it and post it. (NOTE: there is a way to select and copy on the text from the CMD Prompt window, please do that, rather than screen shot)
Once your phone boots up properly, it will be back to stock, unrooted, but as long as you don't do the "oem lock" command with mfastboot or fastboot, your bootloader will remain unlocked. You can then flash TWRP or other custom recovery and re-root.

*help in the toronto area*

Hey guys.... I need some help with my Moto X 2014, I haven't been using this phone for awhile now never really used it I always had a Nexus phone but I got this phone for free from my provider.

In case you can't get someone to fix it for you...
You must have flashed an American firmware, which has an incompatible baseband/modem, and since all Victara firmwares are now at the same Android level (6.0 May 2016 patch), I suggest you reflash the full Canadian RETCA firmware (I think there's only one RETCA firmware that works with all Canadian carriers).
But first, put the phone in Bootloader mode, and type:
fastboot getvar all
Copy all the info into a Notepad file and keep it.
You can download the RETCA firmware from here:
https://firmware.center:8081/firmware/Motorola/Moto X (2nd gen-2014)/Stock/XT1097/
VICTARA_RETCA_XT1097_6.0_MPE24.49-18_cid14_CFC.xml.zip
You flash it in Bootloader mode like this:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
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
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
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
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
Which carrier did you get the phone from, and which one is it going to be used with?

Install the Motorola USB drivers:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
Extract the firmware zip and the ADB-FastBoot zip, and put all the files in the same folder.
Shift+Right-Click inside that folder, Open command window here... Paste all the fastboot commands.

Holy!! This did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was flashing a Telus stock recovery because that was the provider and it wasn't working!!!
But this worked amazing thank you so much!!!
I NO LONGER NEED HELP HAHA!!
