Hey,
I got my Moto G like 3 Weeks ago, unlocked it and rooted it. Now there is an OTA that my friend got. (He's not unlocked). I am not recieving this OTA Update at all and i cant relock my Bootloader.
When i flash stock Firmware with fastboot, starting with OEM Lock begin, i get an error. The first error comes when i flash something. It does flash it without problems but says <Bootloader> Preflash Validation failed. I am sure that i am using the right Firmware, i think it's not signed. So, the last command i run is OEM Lock wich gives me the error SST Lock failure. And then it flashed to stock, everything fine but it's not locked again. Also there is no recovery when i press recovery on bootloader. On my Nexus 5 i got an Recovery and not an android with a red sign laying on the ground...
How can i relock my Bootloader and where to get official signed images for XT1068 Dual SIM Version (Germany) (used theese, getting errors sbf .droid-developers. org/phone.php?device=36)
I could not find anything regarding this in search, sorry.
And sorry for that TERRIBLE english but greetings from germany

First of all: you do have a recovery. The android with the red exclamation mark laying on the ground IS your recovery. But it's not really designed for common users. To get the options in recovery (when you're in the screen with the android with the red exlamation mark), hold the VOLUME-UP for 10 to 15 seconds an then pres the POWER button. And there you have it: a recovery!
About the relock of the bootloader: the rom has to be flashed without errors to have a possible relock. Flash a rom with a higher or the same build number!
I myself had a lot of troubles with this too, but in the end I flashed the RETAILDSDSALL_XT1068_4.4.4_KXB21.85-27_cid7_CFC_SVC.xml.zip and after that i had a succesfull relock!
By the way I used the fastboot under Linux-Ubuntu. But it should work with mfastboot in Windows too, i suppose!

I am usually quite good at following directions, but after unlocking this thing, I am trying to relock it so I can download Lollipop and I get the exact same errors. I have been on it for 5 hours and counting.
What am I doing wrong?

if you cannot fix it yet, then let me know.
Look at my post here. I don't want to make duplicate posts. Therefore a link!

So I just bought my Moto G 2014 (unlocked) and I have it all activated and set up. I was wondering though when Lollipop will be pushed so I can update to it? All I see articles are saying "It will get it" and "you should be able to update to it now" but I can't and I really don't want to void my warranty a day after I bought the phone. I want to try vanilla* Lollipop. Does anybody know when exactly?
( * = without having to manually install it via unlocking bootloader and using fastboot)
Motorola knows.
If it is the XT1063/4 ones, you can already install it via OTA.

I have an Xt1064 and I still havent received the update. Is the update available here the same as the OTA? Im tempted to just install that one.

Download the proper ota zip for your version from xda. Reboot into your stock bootloader. Apply update from sdcard. Done. No need to root or use fastboot. This can only be done on a completely stock phone with a locked bootloader. Its the same as end result that you'd get if you wait for the ota to arrive normally. Do not do this if you have unlocked your bootloader at any time. And make sure you use the proper ota zip for your model, there are three different models, the single sim us model ends in 1064.

You can't. Lollipop isn't released for the XT1068 yet. But be patient. I suspect it to be there in the first or the second quarter of 2015! (And with a little luck maybe even this year...).

Honestly, it should be there anytime now. But people keep asking the question over and over again: when is it coming? This is annoying, because no one really knows!

Follow the guide at ( http://www.droidviews.com/restore-moto-g-2014-to-stock-and-lock-the-bootloader/ ). However there's a couple of things you have to do differently.
Your first command after you enter fastboot mode is gonna have to be "mfastboot.exe oem lock begin".
Theres also gonna be four system.img that you have to flash so after the command "mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2" you have to enter the command "mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3". Follow the rest of the guide, including the "mfastboot.exe oem lock" command at the end.
So basically the commands would be...
mfastboot.exe oem lock begin
mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot.exe erase modemst1
mfastboot.exe erase modemst2
mfastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot.exe erase cache
mfastboot.exe erase userdata
mfastboot.exe oem lock
My phone automatically rebooted after that last command and my boot loader was locked even though it still displays the "Bootloader Unlocked" screen, I was able to flash the zip in the OP through the stock recovery after that.

The xt1068 ota isnt available yet. There is a process to install another versions firmware on the xt1068 then upgrade to lollipop. But it looks buggy and super risky. I wouldn't recommend trying it. Id wait a little for the 1068 ota to be released. I know the other poster said it wont be available until 2015. But nobody knows for sure when itll be out. If i where to guess, id say itll be out fairly soon, sometime in the next 30 days. If I where you Id play it safe and wait it out.

The only otas out so far are for the 1064 & 1063.

the lock is the last command, if you don't flash all the files in order the last command will not work, only exception is the gpt.bim, but is a maybe...
so if you have error principal on line 3, you need to check if the file exist, it command is flashing a file, if the file don't exist will not flash and a error show, and check all the command again, try and make a print screen of the process and the folder with all the file, and put it here...
if you have a full original Motorola ROM it must work, if everything check the rom is the probem.
I know i may have check everything command files it all , but i must try all possibilities.
and way you need to lock it?
i don't use mac, just windows and the PC or MAC is not the problem becouse i use that some order of commnad's last time i lock my phone but i lock just to see if is possible because after you unlocked you never need to change for noting.
bootloader have 3 stats:
Status code 0 =locked with warranty
Status code 3 = unlocked without warranty
Status code 2= re-locked but also without warranty
Status code 1 is unknown.
you can receive and install the OTA if you have the stock ROM no changes no root + stock recovery and boot images, bootloader status doesn't change a ting.
the only uses for re-locked it is to test if you can, or test if the rom is full stock or try to send for repair but in that last depending on the region it will not be repair for free, because it loses the warranty after bootloader unlock, but if yours region don't care for bootloader status, or the help center care but don't notes it you can try and have success.
Hi,
I have an XT1072 which was rooted and running CM. Since I wanted to install stock ROM, I used the Windows Tool from this forum to restore stock Android. By doing so, I was stuck with Bootloader locked screen.
Since then I am stuck on Fastboot Flash Mode screen (see pic attached).
When I try to connect my device to the same PC or any other PC and try mfastboot or fastboot or any command, it just says Waiting for device. I have all the required drivers installed in all the PCs I tested.
Using the volume buttoms, I am able to select any option, but it wont open any option (such as Normal Powerup or Recovery)
Can someone help?
Thanks
anyone?

Hi, like I said above, I have tried fastboot and mfastboot commands but when I try that it says "waiting for device" and it does nothing.
I have ADB and fastboot drivers on my pc, and they used to work just before I encountered the above mentioned error.
Not sure how to proceed here.
Thanks if you could provide a workable solution.

Hi Guys,
I know this is a long shot as this is an old thread but did you get anywhere with a resolution to this?
I'm in the exact same position.
Tried flashing with different factory roms and "fastboot boot" to try force it to boot a twrp image
I'm also stuck here, anyone has had any luck?
Guys i think you just need to flash over the entire fw.
Just get fastboot+mfastbootv2, motoroladevicemanager (for phone drivers) and then flash over the original stock fw, you can get the right one for you phone/region here -> http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=50

This will flash the fw, factory reset and reboot the phone.

if you had it unlocked previusly may be worth checking, if the "get unlock code" work or not and check the old mails for the unlock code sent by motorola (luckly i have a backup of mine xD).

Bootloader should check if boot and system images are correct otherwise it should send user back to bootloader.

I noted my phone model/region before doing anything (xt1072-thea-reteu) got the right fw and it worked fine, maybe was another problem giving the same error "failed to validate system image" unable to boot and stuck in bootloader, weird.... :\

My phone is in a drawer I'd love to be able to fix it because I really miss Android now but it there doesn't seem to be a solution... I am no giving up hope entirely though!
I tink that I have similar problem with my X1072.
After unroot with Kingroot and install AdAway and TWRP from Google Play I even noticed that I hadn't unlock bootolader.
Now I can't reboot my phone without entering in Bootloader and reseting to factory defaults. After some reboots no data has been deleted.
I have tried to reflash the entire phone but In bootloader mode the phone is not detected by the computer, so I can't flash. I'm stucked. by now

Also remember if you are on another model and not XT1072 you should dl the correct image for your phone from HERE Look if Android 6 is available for your country, if you have gb-de-fr-es you can use the EU stock image.
Unpack everything in the same folder and launch the *.BAT as admin
Hi guys,
Hoping you lovely people can help.
I think I may have bricked my device.
It's stuck in a fastboot bootloop with the error code "failed to validate system image"
Now my (amateur) thinking of this is it's possibly due to the device now being OEM locked? Status 2. As I accidentally locked it like a fool.
I can't get into developer options to enable OEM unlock as it wont boot to system.
I've been going through all the forums and can't find any help.
Thank you all in advance

You should be ok now, no need to lock/unlock if you get the right region fw for your phone.

Hi I seem to be having some major issues with my Xt1072 and cannot get it to boot!
It all started with the message popping up saying error creating mount script in second partition?
I got sick of this so I started rebooting the phone to see if I could rectify it?! and like before it just kept getting stuck in bootloop. then as the hours progressed it got worse and eventually i am at the point where my pc does not see it, then it sees it, then it doesnt see it? then I got my phone stuck in the weirdest loop Ive ever seen, it actually boots to the home screen, then 10 seconds later, screen goes black and then wakes up again and back to home screen, 10 seconds later the process gets repeated over and over again, the only thing that seems to stop it dead in its tracks is when I connect it to my pc and hold power and vol down simultaneously. now all it does sometimes is just goes straight to a white screen with huge battery charging and thats it?! i tried the commands which ive quoted below with the resulting cmd:getvar:max-sparse-size on the bootloader screen on my phone???? what does it all mean??? anyone know what the hell is going on??? I am at a loss??
If you want also to restory factory/delete data

Hi I have a problem related to this. The phone is not mine, but the owner has been doing things about rooting and that, and after touching things of the phone and reboot it, it was stuck on the motorola logo, I am able to use mfastboot, and I have followed the guides said in this post, but nothing works.
Could you help me?
Thanks.
I downloaded Android Marshmallow after reading news about it through settings/about/system updates.
After downloading, the phone restarted but updatation was stuck after flashing TWRP screen (error screen photo attached)
My phone is
bootloader unlocked,
recovery TWRP
rooted
ROM is stock.
It seems the OTA update will be completed once I have stock recovery,
I have following queries
Is it necessary to revert to stock recovery to complete OTA update?
If yes, how to achieve it, what i learnt through search, I need to find Stock ROM zips and extract recovery (boot.img) and then flash it through adb?
where to look for thea stock rom and is there any easier method
It's risky, a lot of users here for some reasons got stuck whit locked/unlocked bootloader unable to boot and flash anything.
Here you can find all the motog stock roms http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=50
You should wait for the complete rom image for your country/model to pop there instead doing that risky thing you want do.
Thanks
Recently stock rom for xt1079 has been added to the list.
But I m trying to download from filefactory since yesterday but due to some reason, it stops in between and resume isn't supported.
Are there any other hosts
Are you sure the region of that xt1079 is right for your phonr ? check the phone box and the info inside settings to know which region/carrier you have, you must use the same identical 100% stock to avoid problems
And, do no relock bootloader !!!
yes i bought this through online retailer in India.
It is xt1079 Asia
I see in xda forum of moto g 2nd gen most of the time ppl are talking about xt1078.
What's the difference between xt1078/1079 and can't I use xt1078 ROM.
Rooting procedure meant for xt1078 worked fine for me
And Sir is relocking bootloader very risky ? suppose something goes wrong wont I be able to unlock or restore nandroid backup.
Thanks to support from Dr.nic I am finally on android 6.0
Although I have relocked my bootloader, but it is recommended to leave as it is.
If anyone stumbles here with same problem like mine i.e. unable to upgrade to android 6.0 just because of custom recovery, then pls download the firmware from filefactory.com link and flash. I'll add flashing commands as well to this post in near future.
if you have already done this rom change etc, the you must already be having fastboot, adb etc.
after connecting in fastboot mode holding VolDown and Power for few secs
run following commands
[this is for android 6.0 firmware]
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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
I am not great expert, do this only if you have some idea, I may not be able to help you much if something goes wrong.
I can only say it worked for me
