[Q] Stuck with SlapMyMoto -- followed steps exactly! - Moto X Q&A

My Moto X arrived with 4.4. It's the T-mobile (GSM unlocked) variant. I'm trying to root 4.4 without unlocking the bootloader. I followed the guide to:
1 - downgrade to 4.2.2 camera fix (using ADB and MFastBoot)
2 - root 4.2.2 camera fix (using RockMyMoto)
3 - disable write protection (using MotoWpNoMo)
--- at this point, I used "adb shell getprop ro.boot.write_protect" which returned '0'
4 - return to stock (4.2.2 camera fix)
--- used these steps:
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
- SLAPMYMOTO steps. I do this successfully: adb push SlapMyMoto.jar /sdcard/SlapMyMoto.jar
- I use Cydia Impactor to start the telnetd on port 2222, then I connect with telnet, no problem.
- I run this command: dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/SlapMyMoto.jar SlapMyMoto
And I get this:
Code:
~ $ dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/SlapMyMoto.jar SlapMyMoto

SlapMyMoto 1.0 does not support write protected devices. [B][COLOR="Red"](Why is it write protected again? I made sure it was "0"!)[/COLOR][/B]
Please root using RockMyMoto [B][COLOR="Red"](I did this)[/COLOR][/B], then remove write protection with MotoWpNoMo [B][COLOR="Red"](and this)[/COLOR][/B],
and restore to stock before continuing with SlapMyMoto [B][COLOR="Red"](this is what I JUST DID!)[/COLOR][/B].
However, I already verified that it was rooted and write protection was 0 (my step [3] above). It must be the "return to stock 4.2.2" that is undoing the write protection.
What am I doing wrong?!

After running MotoWPNoMo reboot normally and then check write protection and make sure it is still 0. If it is, make sure you are flashing back to stock 4.2.2 will all steps:
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 fb_mode_clear
Then check for R/W disabled after you boot and enable debugging.

CartlandSmith said:
You don't have write protection disabled. Type:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.write_protect
What do you get? If you get a "1", you need to rerun MotoWPNoMo again. MotoWPNoMo is permanent (until you take the 4.4.2 OTA) and flashing 4.2.2 after running it will not re-enable write protection.
Use RSD Lite to restore to stock 4.2.2. post camera fix. Don't flash manually. But you need to edit the XML file as discussed in the link below:

Thanks. I'll try this. That's the confusing part. Supposedly it's permanent, but when I ran the command (after motowpnomo) it returned 0. Then after flashing 4.2.2c again, the command returns 1. Either it's not permanent, or that command isn't reliably reporting the state of the write protection. Doesn't it seem strange to you?

It is permanent, the problem with checking that way is the following. When you root with RockMyMoto you have two boot methods. Normal boot will boot with R/W protection enabled - 1. If you boot to recovery, it will boot with R/W protection disabled - 0. So technically, MotoWPNoMo can fail, and you could still see the 0.

Ahhh I see. Thanks!
So, is the MotoWPNoMo supposed to ask SuperSU for root during the process?

CartlandSmith said:
When I rooted my relative's locked bootloader Moto X, I did not bother installing the SuperSU after completing RockMyMoto since all i was doing RockMyMoto for was to gain root to disable write protection using PwnMyMoto. Then flashing 4.2.2 again.

Gotcha. I had to run it again and it finally went through the entire process of removing write protection. I think I'm good to go now. I just flashed 4.2.2 again and am about to use SlapMyMoto and update to 4.4 OTA.

HELP!!! My phone won't boot past the unlocked bootloader screen!!

The other day I was just on my phone and restarted it. When I tried to power up the phone again it said "Warning Unlocked Bootloader" just like it does every time, but now it won't go past that screen. I have tried everything I can think of and this is still happening. Is there anything I can do to fix this?!?!
What is everything you can think of? Did you try wiping both cache's

Well the only thing I can even to on it is go into fastboot mode. I've tried all the commands in the boot menu and nothing. I tried to use RSD Lite to go back to stock 4.1.1 but that wouldn't work either. I can't think of anything other than that.

Do a full format of /data. You'll lose all internal sd data, but you'll be booting.
Boot into fastboot
Use the fastboot executable linked in the guide stickied in general
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata
My guess is you changed from 4.3/4.2 rom to a 4.1 rom or vice a versa.

thats not what i did, but I tried your method. When i typed in any fastboot commands it comes back at me saying

Download a stock fastboot and extract it
Copy the guides linked fastboot executable into the extracted location and rename it moto-fastboot
Open a command prompt/terminal in the extracted location
Do all of these commands in order exactly as written.
Use ./moto-fastboot on linux
The first line in bold can't be overwritten with an older version, so if you've flashed Mex Retail with fastboot or RSD you'll only be able to use gpt_main0.bin from Mex Retail.
Code:
[B]fastboot flash partition gpt_main0.bin[/B]
moto-fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
moto-fastboot flash sbl2 sbl2.mbn
moto-fastboot flash sbl3 sbl3.mbn
moto-fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
moto-fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
moto-fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
moto-fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
moto-fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
moto-fastboot erase modemst1
moto-fastboot erase modemst2
moto-fastboot flash logo logo.bin
moto-fastboot flash boot boot.img
moto-fastboot flash devtree device_tree.bin
moto-fastboot flash cdrom cdrom
moto-fastboot erase tombstones
moto-fastboot erase cache
moto-fastboot erase userdata
This is exactly what I do whenever I brick myself.
If you actually like the unlocked bootloader warning, skip flashing logo.bin
You could possibly use the Myth tool if you're using Windows. You should also read skeevydude's post in the Atrix HD General section, the Unlocked bootloader, what now... and the Beginner's guide. That should have a lot of the resources you'll need to fix the issue. If you can boot into fastboot, you shouldn't panic.
Thanks, I will try that
Did that work for you? I'm having the same issue.

[Q] Help: Unable to flash TWRP on unlocked bootloader after 4.4 update

I recently rolled back to the factory image to install the OTA 4.4 update (Sprint). I had an unlocked bootloader prior to the update and when I boot into recovery my device tells me I'm unlocked. I downloaded the TWRP image and used the following command from the boot loader:
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img
When I run that command (I also tried "fastboot" in addition to mfastboot), it looks like everything worked OK but when I choose the "recovery" option from the bootloader my device boots into Android instead of into the recovery rom. When I try:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
My device displays the "No Command" recovery screen, as if it were booted using the stock Android recovery image instead of TWRP.
Am I missing a step somewhere to get TWRP on my device?

OK, you're going to hate this but you need to rsdlite your carriers kitkat sbf firmware, its happened to more than a few people including me, recovery just won't stick after taking an ota for some folks

Your suggestion worked. I didn't have easy access to a Windows machine so I couldn't use rsdlite. I had to manually reset to stock. For anyone who stumbles upon this thread, these are the steps I used which worked for me:
Make sure adb and fastboot from the Android SDK are already part of your PATH.
Download moto-fastboot for Mac OS X
Download the Kitkat 4.4 update for Sprint (Make sure to download the version that matches the build number from "Settings -> About Phone" in your device)
Download the Kitkat 4.4 version of TWRP
Extract the factory image .zip to a folder
Copy the moto-fastboot binary to the folder you extracted the factory image to and rename it to "mfastboot"
Copy the TWRP .img file to the folder with the factory image files
Create a file named "factoryreset.sh" and paste the following as its contents
Code:
#!/bin/sh
FASTBOOT=./mfastboot
$FASTBOOT getvar max-download-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
$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 sprint
$FASTBOOT oem fb_mode_clear
Open a terminal and navigate to the directory you created
On your device, navigate to "Settings -> About Phone" and tap on the build number 7 times to enable developer mode
Go back to the main "Settings" screen, open "Developer Options", and enable USB Debugging
Connect your device to your computer. Go back to your device, make sure you choose to trust your computer to use ADB in the dialog that pops up, then run the following command from your terminal
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Once your device is in fastboot mode, run the command
Code:
sh factoryreset.sh
From the device choose to boot normally and wait for it to finish booting completely.
Run the command
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Once the device is in fastboot mode again, run the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img
From your device, power up normally then reboot into the recovery. If everything went smoothly you'll boot into TWRP recovery.
Code:
adb reboot recovery

Bricked Moto X - Partition (boot) Security Version Downgraded

Hi guys, I think I really messed up my new Moto X: and when I say new I mean I bought it yesterday even if used and bricked today.
I had a 4.4 Sprint firmware and I followed the guide to unlock the device (which it seemed to work), since I need it in Europe with a Vodafone sim. After that I decided to get a UK firmware, so I flashed the phone with RSD Lite, but the flash failed and now in boot mode I have the following message: Partition (boot) Security Version Downgraded - Fasboot reason: boot failure. If you have the solution can you explain it step by step, I'm not actually good with this kind of things. Do you think I have to toss the device in the trash bin? Thank you

You shouldn't have attempted to downgrade and/or flash another carriers rom. It's documented many places not to do this. Now you are in a pickle.
This will probably fix you up:
Download the FULL SBF of the ROM you want to flash. It must be the SAME VERSION, or HIGHER than the newest version you have flashed.
Boot into bootloader.
Type:
fastboot flash bootloader motoboot.img
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you SHOULD be able to flash the ENTIRE SBF with RSD Lite or Manual method.
Explaination: By doing this, we are JUST flashing the bootloader and partition table (gpt.bin), THEN we reboot back to the bootloader in order to allow the bootloader to LOAD the new partition table before we flash the rest of the partitions.
It fixes people up most of the time, but not all. Good luck, hope it does the trick for you. Next time, heed the warning -- specifically not to downgrade. :good:

Get the latest android SDK from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Install it. It should have a folder called "Platform-tools" inside. Put gpt.bin and motoboot.img from the firmware inside this folder. Then open a command prompt, go to that folder, then run the commands as I outlined in the previous post.
After you "fastboot reboot-bootloader", try to flash the entire firmware zip file using RSD Lite.
I tried, but when I type the device still write Fastboot reason:flash failure. Any idea? Maybe I did something wrong. Thank you.

You noted that you flashed multiple ROMS. What is the LATEST VERSION of all the roms you tried to flash. You can never go lower, so please advise. Did you flash --any-- 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 ROM? If so, you MUST flash a new rom of the same or higher version.

That will absolutely not work. You are attempting to downgrade!!! (4.4.2 > 4.4) I already mentioned that you must use the same version or higher than the highest version you flashed previously. You MUST flash the Sprint 4.4.2 ROM, and not 4.4
If you try again, with the 4.4.2 Sprint SBF, you should be able to successfully recover.

Please just use the manual method.
Do this:
First extract all the files in the SBF zip file (the 4.4.2 Sprint one!!!!!) to the same folder that includes fastboot & mfastboot (you do have the "mfastboot" binary, right?)
Now do this exactly: (ignore the fact that some of these commands are being run twice - this is intentional. Also notice that we are using "mfastboot" to flash system.img. If you don't have it, get it here [and put it in the same folder as fastboot]: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9qC3vvamytkSVp0NXhlSEhZVFU/edit )

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

If everything is successful to this point, now do:
fastboot reboot
If something fails, move on with the other commands. If you get stuck, let me know. Pictures of the errors will be helpful if you have any.

First of all I want to thank you, because I've never med anyone so kind online. Unfortunately I didn't succeed. I explain you exactly what I did:
1) I got from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0 the Sprint 4.4.2 firmware (I had 4.4 originally, so this should be fine according to what you said)
2) I unzipped every file inside sdk/platform-tools
3) I downloaded your mfastboot (since I didn't have it) and stick it inside the same folder sdk/platform tools
4) So now I have this folder with inside all the files I thought you were asking to have there
5) at this point I opened from there the command prompt and started to type the commands you suggested
6) I had this:

First of all I want to thank you, because I've never med anyone so kind online. Unfortunately I didn't succeed. I explain you exactly what I did:
1) I got from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0 the Sprint 4.4.2 firmware (I had 4.4 originally, so this should be fine according to what you said)
2) I unzipped every file inside sdk/platform-tools
3) I downloaded your mfastboot (since I didn't have it) and stick it inside the same folder sdk/platform tools
4) So now I have this folder with inside all the files I thought you were asking to have there
5) at this point I opened from there the command prompt and started to type the commands you suggested
6) I had this:

You also didn't correctly issue the first command. You left out "flash"
You typed "fastboot partition gpt.bin"
Instead of "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin"
Please start over. If it fails at motoboot.img -- don't worry. Just continue with the rest of the commands. If we can get everything else to flash, you may well recover. Sometimes it DOES fail at flashing motoboot, but just continue with the commands.
Be sure to type them EXACTLY as I've listed -- you can't leave off "flash" anymore
Please try and update as to status. If you can get to the very end, with nothing but motoboot.img failing, we should be able to recover you.

Do this:
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then start over with all the commands I previously listed
I recommend using copy / paste for all the commands just so none get messed up

OK!
It looks like when you were on one of the other roms, you accepted an OTA to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4.....did this happen?
anyways, do this:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
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 erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
Does it boot?? Hopefully at this point, you boot into android. Fingers crossed.... :fingers-crossed:

I will have to continue helping you later tonight. Have to leave for a bit. I'm still hoping we will be able to recover you but it will take some more work, and we have to run the commands perfect. I'll post back here when I return.

I just want to update my Moto x 2014 to android 5.1, but i dont know how, i do have unlocked bootloader, and uninstalled my root.

My info of my phone:
Android Version: 5.0
System Version: 22.121.1.victara_reteu.reteuall.en.EU reteu
Build- Number: LXE22.46-19.1

The easiest method would be to flash this firmware:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/i8htlx8fqpv/VICTARA_RETEU_XT1092_5.1_LPE23.32-25.3_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
After flashing it you will be on the latest 5.1 firmware.
To flash it, you have to extract the files in the zip. Put the phone into fastboot mode. Then use fastboot to flash the files with these commands:
$ 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_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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
$ fastboot erase modemst1
$ fastboot erase modemst2
$ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
$ fastboot erase userdata
$ fastboot erase cache
The last 2 commands erase your data on the phone. They are optional, but sometimes bugs and errors happen if you don't do it. So if you have any issues after flashing, those last 2 commands usually fix them. Personally I recommend erasing your data(make a backup of course) because you are less likely to have issues.

Hello, im having a similar situación on my Moto X 2014 Pure Edition XT1095_ in which i have a custom recovery installed and xposed obviously with the bootloader unlock and root. As i am told the ota for marschmallow will not be succesful beacause of a modified partition (system) how do i flash the ota? Thanks

Same process that I just mentioned. But for the xt1095 use this firmware:

Just flash TWRP. Then start TWRP. When you exit TWRP it will ask if you want to root it. Very simple.

Ok 6.0 is another story

Please, how can I uninstall Magisk??

Please help me with your knowledge for a little while. I really need help because my android is bootlooping and this is the only phone I have. I really need your help here.
-I followed this guide with little differences https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e5/how-to/guide-root-twrp-moto-e5-play-explained-t3856182
-I took precautions and I downloaded the respective twrp for my phone (moto e5 nora).
-I couldn't make a backup because I'm lower-class college student and I can't afford a micro sd bigger than 4gb (I should have given up here).
-I installed Magisk and i thought it went well because no errors showed (at least that's what I think)
-Bootloop showing some numbers (80012a99-867fda48-...)
-I tried to uninstall using the uninstaller.zip so I could install an older version of Magisk but twrp says "cannot access /data please uninstall with magisk manager" but I just can't do it because android it's bootlooping.
Other data (it may be useful):
-After installing the last version of Magisk, abd won't recognize the phone ("adb devices") but "fastboot devices" will.
-I cannot repair /data but I can format it to ext4,ext2, etc (but it didn't work).
-I'm downloading stock image but I don't know how safe will it be to reinstall the whole Android. I'm afraid I can permanently damage my phone after what I have done here.
This is the first time I post here. I don't usually ask for help, I don't like to bother people. Thanks in advance and forgive me for my English!
FIXED
If someone has the same problem, this is what I did:
1-Download the LAST (this is very important) version ROM. I recommend lolinet (dot) com for our Moto E5.
2-Download adb and decompress the ROM into the adb folder.
3-Open command promt and go to adb's directory.
4-Check that your phone is being recognized by your pc:
Code:
fastboot devices
5- Copy and paste:
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
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 erase DDR
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Then fastboot reboot and there you go!
I'm very glad and I hope you, future readers, find this useful enough to get your phone running as it used to run when we were real happy.
