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
"(bootloader) Variable not supported!
target reported max download size of 31457280 bytes
error: cannot load 'boot.img' : No error"

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.

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.

I also tried the 4.4.2 Sprint now, but same results. Do I have to get the file from the same firmware I flash, right? and when I flash do I have to flash without the getvar string?

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 flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
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 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
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.

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.

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?

Does it boot?? Hopefully at this point, you boot into android. Fingers crossed.... :fingers-crossed:

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

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:

The easiest method would be to flash this firmware:
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

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

HELP!!! No SIM, IMEI, service on MetroPCS Hannah

I've been beating my head against a wall for 12 hours trying to get my device to get cell service again after unlocking the bootloader and installing RR. I've attempted manually re-installing the stock Metro firmware like 20 times, IMEIREPAIR.zip and everything in between. I've searched all over here and Google to little avail. I just got this phone yesterday and the store is 50 miles from my house. I saw little bits and pieces throughout the forums about this issue but no guide or real resolution. Can someone please help me so I can get back to using my phone? This is my only device and need it so my kids get get ahold of me. Thanks in advance!!!

Alright. I'm downloading it now. I've ran all of these commands manually and was able to convert to absolute stock but still no SIM radio. Crossing my fingers. I'll keep you posted.

DUDE!!! It worked! Thanks you a million times. I was getting so freaking aggrivated all day yesterday. Now, is there a guide or script you could provide me to get RR on there with GAPPS and NO root w/o running into encryption errors? Thanks! You're the best!

cant flash oreo sign Firmware/cant write boot.img (no error)

Hello,
I get always the same error for every thing I try to flash " cant write ...... ((no error))
The device have Android 9 stock firmware unsigned security update november 2018
And I try to install PAYTON_OPWS27.57_40_14_XT1900_7_DS_8.0.0_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
bootloader is open fastboot run,
Flashing works with this pc and OS normaly
since I try to flash my smartfone I have noch basband anymore.
I used this file
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot flash dsp dspso.bin

fastboot flash system_b system_other.img
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
PAUSE
fastboot reboot

so you're trying to downgrade from pie to oreo. is the bootloader unlocked?

yes , but the first time I try to flash I forgot it , after that I unlocked the device and I try it again and I have the same error message

Flash just the bootloader "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img", then press volume-down multiple times until you see "Log". What is the output?
It might be related to these issues (thread 1, thread 2). Workarounds include using another PC or older version of fastboot.

I try it today , you mean the bootloader from Oreo right?
thanks for support

Try flashing again, this time one-by-one. Attach the bootloader log when it stops at dsp.
On the PC side, did flashing dsp resulted in "cant write ...... ((no error))" error. What are the command outputs?

The script you got is incorrect. modemst2 should be erased instead.
I couldn't find the version you have from the mirror. I found another OPWS27.57 zip.
They're both "OPWS27.57" and Android 8.0, so the script should be similar.
If you want to make sure, inspect line 14 onward of the flashfile.xml. Check whether the zip has recovery.img as well.
Unzip the attached file. Put the attached flash_all.bat into the firmware folder and run it.
Code:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 8
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot flash dsp dspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system_b system_other.img
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase userdata

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

ok, it worked with clean win 7 .
thanks, but
in no firmware is a recovery .img and I cant do an ota update to pie.

If you did "fastboot flash boot boot.img", the stock recovery should be there.

recovery is built within boot.img.

Try this guide. But I'm puzzled why you downgrade to Oreo and back to Pie.
btw, "bootloader is open fastboot run" is mentioned in the OP, is the bootloader unlocked?

I will try it,
I do it because I need a official signed version to send my smartpfone to a repair center.
the best sigened version I found is oreo and I downgrade to oreo and upgtade with motrola update services to pie

hey I flashed slot a and b with the same firmware but the message "you loading a different os" still apear.
The bootloader show that the firmware is a official version?! I looking for a solution but I found only the way tto flash both slots

What commands did you use to flash to both slots?
They should be:
fastboot --set-active=a
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_b system_other.img

Ok I use this comand to change the slot
fastboot --set-active=other
and then I flash manually all positions from the flash _all .zip from the first page
one time for each slot
