and on moto x appears

preflash validation failed for gpt

You need unroot it!!!! The ota can't be installed using root or custom recovery !!!
I recommend you that intall 4.4.2 retal brasil stock rom again ..... Then you can receive OTA and install it [emoji6]

i already unroot, reset all the phone, and still can't update

Maybe you have custom recovery

Your moto shows gpt error.... that error showed during a downgrade error in my moto x (recovery error) [emoji53]

A couple suggestions:
If possible, use a USB 2.0 port, and NOT a USB 3.0 port.
Try on a different PC, if possible

i already try

are you sure that you are flashing 4.4.2 ????
check it..... maybe is 4.2.2 [emoji53]
gpt. bin error is about downgrades
maybe you did manual flash using wrong gpt.bin.
---------- Post added at 02:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 AM ----------
maybe you installed/flashed in manual mode the 4.4.3 gpt.bin (bootloader). and now you are trying to install 4.4.2 gpt.bin and the system shows gpt.bin error (downdrade error)

THANK YOU GUYS
i was forgetting to delete one line of code, i delete this line and flash using rsd
but THANK YOU

Probably the getvar max-download-size (Step 4 in the Return to Stock thread)
I've seen several people overlook that step somehow...
Just another reason I try to push the manual method instead of using RSD Lite. You don't need to edit the XML file when you use the manual method, and less can go wrong.

Fastboot Reason: Boot Failure

Hello dear friends!
I have a problem with my Atrix HD. I have problems to flash the boot.img and the system.img.
I tried with RSD Lite, Myth Tools - AHD, Fastboot flash and none have been able to flash it. I downloaded all drivers!
may be permanent brick?
The only thing I shows Battery Low, Battery OK sometimes.
I saw on some forums that the "Factory Cable" has the possibility to flash my phone.
What are the chances of coming back to life my MB886?
Here the details of what I show!
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

Waiting for your prompt help
Thank you.

nothing to panic... hold power+vol up+vol down to power your device off and put it to charge (do not charge with pc/laptop, use a AC power source)
after an hour, follow these steps..
1)download the required firmware from here and fastboot binaries
2)extract the zip and place downloaded fastboot binaries in the extracted directory and open terminal in this directory.
3)type the following commands in order
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash devtree device_tree.bin
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot -w
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

Could you please send me a program or application with which I can do with the phone brick?

Well you can't open the fastboot.exe because it's not a regular program. You just open a command Window in the folder it's located in.

It looks to me like your device has a locked bootloader.
What rom did you try to flash? What did you use to flash it?

Ok...I found a new problem, and suspect this is the big problem of all problems!
My computer can't recognize the device, I successfully installed Motorola USB drivers (2.3.9 version) and when I trying to unlock the bootloader ussing Motopocalypse by Dan, doesn't happens...shows the follow message:
Waiting for device...
* daemon not running. starting it now in port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
And then, nothings is happens!...not show anything more....
Any suggestions?
Please hel me! :crying:
What OS was originally on the phone? Without an unlocked bootloader, I don't think you can flash an earlier rom version if the original rom version was higher.
I think those zip files needs to flashed via cwm, but I'm not 100% sure. I think that's how I got the Mexico Retail onto my Atrix HD.

I just realized that your system image says ".ext4" Fastboot does not normally format a partition as ext4 by default, maybe never at all. Make sure you have the correct Fastboot files.

Make sure you are using the 4.1.1 fastboot package for RSD Lite. Also make sure you are using RSD Lite 6.1.

Unzip the rom zip and open .xml file and remove the line having flash partition gpt_main0.bin and save it, zip again using red, you will be able to flash now..

[Q] Questions regarding un-rooting.

Verizon Moto X (2013) 4.2.2 Build number: 13.11.1Q2.X-69-3
Hey guys, for the past week I have been trying to un-root my moto x and have been unable to with several different methods.
I first tried RSD Lite, but no matter what I try over and over RSD Lite is not detecting my phone and I havent come across a way to fix that
I then moved on and tried to un-root using Fastboot following this tutorial. For some reason when my when I try, gpt.bin fails.
I then moved on to the Moto X Toolkit. Since this is basically just an automated way of doing fastboot I wasnt to hopeful, and of course it too failed.
Here is what i get when the process fails
Code:
writing 'recovery' ...
Preflash validation failed

writing 'system' ...

Thank you for the Reply!
I asked you to boot into FastbootAP/Bootloader and tell me the number on the second line. (its the bootloader version and it IS EXTREMELY important in this case).
You didn't tell me that. Why?

Ok, you have some conflicting info posted.
Post 1 you say you have 4.2.2 Build number: 13.11.1Q2.X-69-3. (I thought 13.11.1Q2.X-69-3 was 4.4)
But in Post 3 you say System Version: 140.45.5. (which is 4.4)
Now, the bootloader version being 30.b2 goes along with 4.4.
the GPT.BIN failing to flash usually indicates that you are trying to DOWNGRADE. There are warnings everywhere saying you shouldn't, The only time its safe to downgrade is if you have 4.4 on your phone and are following the SlapMyMoto process. But since you're trying to un-root, you shouldn't be following SlapMyMoto.
So what are you trying to flash exactly?
At this point, DO NOT ATTEMPT to flash anything but 4.4, 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 on your phone! You need to do a FULL flash, and I would suggest manually using mFastboot, with the extra commands (see option 5 at -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-ReturnToStock.html ). Because of the GPT.BIN downgrade failures at this point, I would suggest 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 and NEVER try to flash anything older.

[Q] 4.4.2 Kitkat image for flashing with RSD Lite?

Could someone PLEASE provide an image of the 4.4.2 Kitkat firmware (preferably Retail.EU) suitable for flashing with RSD Lite?

There is nothing we can do, someone needs the fastboot files from Moto / a leaked source.
Just use RSD+JB and then take the OTA to KK

No , flashing JB with RSD, which used to work before upgrading to KK, now fails with:
Downloading ...
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
Fastboot command failed​
Is there a workaround?
Or is there a way to flash the KIA20.74.rar version using just the standard recovery mode?
Or to flash CM11?
(I was in the KitKat testdrive program, and all worked fine till the application updates of last week.
Now the boot process stops while either the Motorola or Intel logo is shown.
Full factory restore using recovery mode doesn't help.
I had this twice before while on Jelly Bean, and solved it by flashing with RSD.)

"CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml" is a JB image
What if u flash the gpt.bin (or how it is called) from a 4.4.2 update zip through fastboot. This will solve the gpt security mismatch. Then try RSD-Lite again, but remove the gpt line. Or flash the system_signed, recovery_signed, boot_signed manually with mFastboot or fastboot compatible with an image that's more than 100mb. And then do a full data erase.
The 4.4.2 update zip is floating around somewhere for the gpt file, already seen it on the internet.
This should solve your problem. If it doesn't u got a far greater problem i think, or i just don't know.

Nope, flashing gpt_signed, or any of the other signed images, with mfastboot give the same preflash validation errors as with RSD, as was to be expected.
I have found some 4.4.2 update zips, but they are all TWRP backups, not full partition images; I don't see how these can be flashed with mfastboot.
Found it! I had to unlock the bootloader, and now JB can be flashed.
I guess it would also have been possible, after unlocking the bootloader, to flash the "unofficial TWRP recovery" and then install one of the 4.4.2 TWRP backups from an SD card.

Bricked Moto X 2014? Fastboot flashing, ADB Sideloading, Nothing Seems To Work

Bricked Moto X 2014? Fastboot flashing, ADB sideloading, nothing seems to work
Hello,
I have this Moto X 2nd gen (XT1092), and I wanted to install an Android Marshmallow OS last weekend.
I did it according to this article on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/install-image-marshmallow-6-0-xt-1097-t3266858 , where an install image plus small install description is posted.
This is the first ‘non-standard’ thing I tried with this phone. It is not rooted, nor did I make any changes in the settings for developers, apart from enabling USB debugging. The device was running an stock version of Android 5.1, which I received the normal way(just an automatic system update).
Using some 'fastboot flash....' commands via the PC, the image should be installed. However, upon trying the first command: 'fastboot flash partition gpt.bin', the terminal responded with:
-------------------------
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'partition' (32 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.003s]
writing 'partition'...
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.102s
-------------------------
Afterwards, my phone didnt boot to android anymore. The only thing it does is put me in "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)"
I have tried installing different stock Motorola images/zips for my phone, in order to try to get it back to how it was, but for every fastboot flash I want to do (except for the boot logo), I get the preflash validation error.
I also tried sideloading images via ADB via the recovery mode, bit this doesn’t work either:
When I try "adb sideload <IMAGE>.zip", it starts to send the file to the phone, and the phone receives it. Very quickly after completing the transfer, though, the phone can say two things (depending on what .zip file I try):
1.
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
Package expects build fingerprint of motorola/victara_reteu/victara:5.0/LXE22.46-19.1/1:user/release-keys or motorola/victara_reteu/victara:5.1/LPE23.32-25.1/1:user/release-keys; this device has motorola/victara_reteu/victara:4.4.4/KXE21.187-42/41:user/re
Installation aborted.
2.
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installation aborted.
One thing to note is that when I try 'adb devices', it gives me:
-------------------------
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb devices
List of devices attached
TA99300SXJ sideload
-------------------------
It says that the device is in ADB sideload mode, which blocks me from using other ADB functions, like shell. Is there a way to get 'full' ADB acces?
I also tried using the official Motorola “RDS Lite” software, as some people say this can be used to correctly flash an image to the phone, but this program just does not see my phone.
I did install all drivers, and Windows recognizes the device correctly, in both fastboot and ADB (recovery) mode.
Another thing I wanted to do to solve this, is to unlock the bootloader, as some people on forums said that this would help. However, when I try “fastboot oem unlock UNIQUEKEY” with the key I got from the Motorola website, the bootloader responds with the message stating that I have to enable unlocking the bootloader via developer settings. And obviously, I cannot go to settings to enable this.
-------------------------
I’m very stuck here, and I would be the intensely happy if there would be someone around who can help me get my phone back to life!
I do have experience with flashing Android ROMs/Images/Zips, but not on Motorola devices.
I reckon that this:
“Package expects build fingerprint of motorola/victara_reteu/victara:5.0/LXE22.46-19.1/1:user/release-keys or motorola/victara_reteu/victara:5.1/LPE23.32-25.1/1:user/release-keys; this device has motorola/victara_reteu/victara:4.4.4/KXE21.187-42/41:user/re”
could possibly be caused by an incorrect zip file. If that is the case, is there any way to obtain the proper file?
I did read about some special micro USB cables connecting the normally unused pin 4. Could this be helpful?
Any help would be IMMENSELY appreciated. I'm not ready to give up the fight!
Kind regards,
Ostheer
This same thing happened to me today. Ive had my fair share of rooted phone issues but this one is a mystery to me. Ive rooted every other Moto device [G, G '14, X, X Pure] And now a new issue arises.
I used a .bat file from CLARK_RETUS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml_SHAWN5162 . It finished and booted into bootloader but wont go anywhere from there. I have a feeling Ive reset to a locked state with no boot file.

3. RSD Lite: Does not recognize my devices (win 10 / sdk / all drivers / redownloaded 3 times)
4. any bat file I try / manual code / or adb all fail
There must be a solution to this. I want Marshmallow 6.0 just as much as the next guy to work on my phone. Thanks for the help

At this point I would be happy to get anything to work on it, 6.0 is not a requirement for me anymore.
For me it says: "Software status: Official", and getting the unlock data works. Still can't unlock though, as this should've been enabled in settings apparently.

Well there is your problem, your bootloader is locked. You can't flash firmware that is not for your model/carrier with a locked bootloader. It absolutely will fail.
Try flashing this with mfastboot:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/i8htlx8fqpv/VICTARA_RETEU_XT1092_5.1_LPE23.32-25.3_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
Most likely gpt.bin and motoboot will fail to flash, just keep flashing all the files even if those 2 fail.
If this works, do NOT use the OTA update to get to 6.0 there is a high probability that you will hard brick your phone if you use OTA, and there is no way to fix that currently.
Because of what you did, you will have to wait for a full 6.0 firmware for the xt1092EU. Do not flash anything else until that is released.

@AGISCI,
Thank you for your reply. I am currently downloading the file you linked, and will try to flash it using mfastboot as soon as it finishes downloading.
I did indeed hear that using the OTA afterwards is not something you will want to do.

How is it possible? Your bootloader just got unlocked without root!
I will be more than happy if you explain again what you did and what happend exactly.
Thanks.
Whenever you flash a firmware meant for another region/carrier, you are also flashing the modem/radio that supports that region/carrier, so you have to find the firmware that supports your device/region/carrier and flash the modem/radio from it, in bootloader mode:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
These are the files you need to flash "NON-HLOS.bin" and "fsg.mbn"

It sounds like the download of the .zip is corrupt. You will need to download the zip again. There is a list of md5 values in an xml file inside the zip. If the md5 is different it won't flash as a safety precaution.

You are indeed correct. I dont think using another computer helped, although I managed to get FLASH Partition gpt.bin to work first try. What I think happened was my friend [not knowing it was in bootloader] did the bootloader button sequence and failed so instead it just tried to boot up [Stopped @ unlocked bootloader screen]
SO after I got 6.0 to work the radio network wasnt the same so now my SIM isnt being recognized.
So I looked for a simple solution and found directions
The Radio uses these lines of the flash process:
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
I searched for Moto X radio files but no luck, however I did find this link for Moto G which is everything I need to find the solution myself with instructions

I believe that Root is a step that comes after bootloader
[YOUR PHONE]
1. unlock-Bootloader --> mfastboot oem get_unlock_data
This is the first step Motorola tells you to do. Go Here: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
2. Install TWRP --> mfastboot flash recovery 'your twrp.img'
At this point your phone should turn on, if not your not finished
3. Install Root --> push SuperSU-v2.--
This zip I have CLARK_RETUS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml_SHAWN5162.zip started this whole mess but it was made to where you can relock your phone after returning it to stock. Problem was that when I ran the .bat file it never took the files so it dumped every partition THEN locked me out, or just pretended to, Im still unsure because I think all I did was try to push a flash line by line [eg. gpt.bin,motoboot,logo...] only got to motoboot and then did a reset. :highfive:
bootloader unlock question
AGISCI said:
It sounds like the download of the .zip is corrupt. You will need to download the zip again. There is a list of md5 values in an xml file inside the zip. If the md5 is different it won't flash as a safety precaution.

Thanks for the reply. I checked all MD5's and compared them to the ones I generated with a MD5 checksum tool, they all match. I am downloading the zip again, but theoretically that shouldn't help as de MD5's are good.
"Invalid signed image" stays the problem here, unfortunately...
Is there no way to unlock the bootloader if you didn't enable this via settings in Android?

No there is no way to unlock it if you didn't.
Question what version of android were you on before you did this? 5.1? With stagefright patch?

Thought so,
I was on an official 5.1 build, presumably with the patch indeed, as my phone was fully updated and the patch came out in September. For the patch I can't be 100% sure though.
I downloaded the zip for the second time, but as expected after the MD5 check, the results were the same...

I don't know if this is the reason, but maybe if you did not have the stagefright patch you need the firmware without it. Here is the 5.1 without stagefright to try:

I am currently downloading this zip, and also some others.
Curiosity:
How is the phone actually checking the file signatures? What is it comparing them to?
I'm wondering how did I manage to make the phone unable to boot, while the bootloader doesn't allow anything to be flashed?

The images are also signed by motorola with a special key that only they have and know. If the key does not match with your installed firmware flashing will fail.

I downloaded the zip without stagefright, and flashing it using the described procedure again gave the error 'Preflash validation failed' - 'Invalid PIV signed system image'.
Strangely though, flashing motoboot.img actually did work for the first time. (!)
Also flashing the recovery.img works for most zips I tried. That's rather strange as apparently they are being checked too: flashing a twrp recovery (unsurprisingly) didn't work: "mismatched partition size (recovery)".

I requested a compatible stock zip from Motorola for my device, using a ticket on their site. Probably they won't be very eager to supply it though.
