Hello Guys i flashed the Germany Version of 4.3 lte last night and in doing so i have Temporarily killed my Phone.
I have tried all the Recoveries processes via Kies and Odin and i am having no luck.
I think the reason why it won't flash is because the Germany 4.3 is a Newer Version than the Stock 4.1.2.
When i'm in Odin i get sboot.bin Fail when trying to Flash the Latest Stock rom. I am able to Flash the Germany 4.3 again and that flashes but then the Phone Stays on the Samsung Flash Screen.
Could someone please Help? I have been on with this for Hours now. I think what i need is a 4.3 Version of any rom in Odin .tar format so i can at least get the phone to boot up and then maybe i can get CWM Recovery on there and flash a Stock rom that way.
Thanks in Advance
You have to remove sboot.bin and tz.bin when downgrading. Be careful, downgrading will give you Knox warranty void 0x1!

I have already seen that Message in Tiny Writing. What does that mean if i get that and how do you remove sboot.bin and TZ.bin
Do i remove them from the Stock 4.1.2 or the Germany 4.3?
My head is well and truely done in. I was up till 5am trying to fix it and then when i woke i went straight back to it and i still havn't got it working.
Thanks for your help in advance.

THE kies frimware intilition doesnt work as you have 4.3 bootloader and knox blocks older boot loader
dont worry when 4.3 becomes available in your area it wont have to downgrade and ultimately this method will work but still things are looking pretty bad dor the intermediatory days.
PS is ther anyway to restore baseband imei without any backup

What if i download the Germany Version again and try flashing. I thought it would of worked? I am now in this situation surely the Country it comes from wouldn't make a difference? Could someone take the Germany 4.3 and make it a Working Version .tar file to flash with Odin3?

Hello Guys i have Fantastic News!!
I have no idea what i did different, However i have reflashed the German 4.3 on my GT-I9305 and this time to my Total Surprise it worked!!
I wish i could say what i did and it worked but i have absolutely no idea what was done differently.
Thanks all for your Help.
I will say i installed the drivers manually and just on the off chance i flashed it again with the file i downloaded last Night. I also flashed a recover trying to get it to load a recover so i could flash a zip file.

Sorry for the late response but when you get stuck on the Samsung boot screen all you have to do is boot into Recovery and do a Factory Reset and Wipe Cache.
Another thing to remember is to flash the modem for your country otherwise you might accidently disable some frequencies and enable other useless ones.

Which 4.3 update did you flash? I used the DBT German one.
Did you flash the right modem too? It worked for me and i was using a i9305T. All i did was flash the latest modem (from the brand of phone i have which is Telstra) and did a wipe data and wipe cache.
I know how to do all of this, but I can't do it without the stock firmware.:crying:
Here is the link to the forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/ref-complete-moto-x-guides-information-t2603358

Flashing stock recovery back on your phone is the exact same process you took to flash a 3rd party recovery onto your phone, only using the stock Recovery.IMG file.
If you need instructions... then...
Link in my Signature has this info -> How To Return To stock Use option 2. If all you want is stock recovery, you can just do the mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img line and skip the rest if that is all you need.
OR....
If you are rooted and you can obtain the correct recovery.img and copy it to your phone, you can flash via your phone (without setting up Fastboot,etc on your PC) by following -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/ref-return-to-stock-recovery-rooted-t3027079 (this does have info on obtaining the stock recovery for your phone via your PC, you'll just need to copy the IMG file to the phone before you proceed.)

What all did you flash to try to go back to 5.0? You should never try to downgrade the bootloader (motoboot.img) or the partition table (gpt.bin).

Flashing just system.img doesn't brick so either you did something else or this is a hardware problem.

Hello everyone,
I have a XT1079 and I made the mistake of flashing 1069´s ROM. Now I can´t install a custom rom and adb does not recognize my device (it is listed as 1069 with a question mark on the icon in device manager).
Any ideas for help me will be appreciated, thanks a lot.
If your phone is able to go into recovery , you just flash the stock firmware again or flash flashable zip of the stock ROM ( or may be some custom ROM (i'm not sure though)). This will kind of reset your phone and it will work again. But as you said, You have downgraded your phone, you need to check out which one to flash ...i mean whether to flash kitkat or lollipop version.
Custom ROM

I used twrp (mfastboot flash recovery <file_name>. and it´s interface it is pretty friendly. Also installed google apps zips. It is amazing how much you can customize with this ROM.

you have a xt1079 right? stop flashing WRONG files until you get correct xt1079 firmware - please tell us what you originally had on phone and we will try to find it for you.
I cant seem to find any brazil xt1079 firmwares - yet - you have no signal due to incorrect radio/modem files - only can find xt1079 retcn files this modem / radio combo will be wrong - yours will become available but may take months to appear.....
THIS is why we backup our stock roms with TRWP to include the PDS area
I need the partition.mbn file from the system dump of xt1052, as mine is hard bricked. I believe the file can save my phone. So, please help me !!
Guide for extracting the file : connect USB (should be rooted + USB debugging enabled), launch RUN_backup_all.bat, "backup" named folder will appear, find partitions.mbn there
Thank You.

As long as you are pretty sure you're stuck and have a useless device, then you may as well try a retail version and re-customize it from there. A quick search showed this as a possible source for you (asia-aust v) http://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto X (2013)/Stock/XT1052/ for 5.1.
RSDLite it and good luck. Don't forget to backup anything you want saved from the /sdcard/* world, if you can still access it. The stock .XML file will blow that stuff away.

I re-read the thread and realized that I'm so used to people mis-using phrases like hard-bricked around here.. I figured that if you were even able to contemplate trying to somehow flash the partitions.fbn , that you must have some way into bootloader. My mistake. Sorry about that.
I've seen a couple of supposed ways (well, the JTAG way probably works if you want to go through that mess) for the moto-x when the bootloader is "gone". Another exploit for that for the Moto-X supposedly is to flash a blank bootloader. If I find any of the old threads on that, I'll post links. OK: For example, here's some old post with working links for the oddball f/w & drivers needed to do it. It's sort of a JTAG method without bothering with the JTAG H/W. It's also for a different model moto-x but I doubt that matters. Here's a link: http://www.usoftsmartphone.com/t300062.html
