[RECOVERY][CRICKET] Stock Recovery Image

I figured I would be a nice guy and post the stock recovery for the cricket 510s
I don't know if this will work with Sprint or VM so flash at your own risk
You can't fastboot boot this image you have to flash it

I just flashed this recovery to my sprint version and tried to accept the OTA and I got a red triangle during the flash, so I'm guessing it isn't right. I have another 510 that is currently under the christmas tree. When it gets unwrapped I will pull the stock recovery off of it and post it up here.

The red triangle is the stock recovery press vol+up and power after like 15 seconds.
I thought there was something botched with it too but that is how the stock recovery looks

When I flashed the ota on the stock phone (under the tree) I didn't see any triangles, only flashing goodness. So I think something is wrong.

Thanks. Ive been looking for this. i didnt backup this partition before i flashed twrp

hat tip, thanks!

follow this steps:
Prequisites:
1) ADB and Fastboot executables http://www.mediafire.com/download/3vgybfyv7u7tf69/ADB.rar
2) Stock recovery signed image: http://www.mediafire.com/download/jnl3nw9hvk5ouv5/recovery_signed.img
Steps:
1) extract ADB.rar to c;\ADB
2) On c:\ADB hit shift + right click mouse and select "open windows command here"
3) turn on your phone, and from your PC command type: adb reboot bootloader (this will reboot your phone into bootloader)
4)at bootloader type this: fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
and you should see this:
Code:
sending 'recovery' (12100 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.237s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.865s]
finished. total time: 2.102s
5) if this doesnt work, just download the original rom for your carrier from HTC and execute the rom install from your PC: http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html
Your phone will be back to original with the recovery also... just remember to relock your phone before executing the Stock ROM exe (type this command to relock: fastboot oem lock)
Have a nice day

is the recovery listed here part of the firmware set for 1.11.506.1? or is it from an earlier build?

It should be unless there's a bunch of recovery firmwares for some reason? Is there a reason you need that info?

Stock recovery are not interchangeable. So if this is from something older, it doesn't have much value. I don't know what the likelihood is of future updates, but I like to be prepared.
If someone had an older ruu, I'd be pretty happy to have that, so ota files could be collected.

According to Motorola, unlocking the bootloader does not affect eligibility to receive OTA upgrades.

Update
I own a Moto G 2nd Gen. and it came with system version 21.11.23 and want to update to 21.11.27.
Will that update wipe my data or not...?

yes but really simple to fix
1) download zip and extract into folder
2) look for Auto Restore Script.bat and right click and edit with NOTEPAD++
around line 20 just delete 'mfastboot.exe erase userdata' then click save (not save as)
3) run Auto restore script with phone plugged in and USB debugging enabled

Thanks for your work. I successfully downgraded from lolipop to kitkat using this method.

Locked bootloader?
Has anyone tried this on a locked bootloader? i want to change my firmare form .14 to .23 to be able to get the Lollipop update but i don't want to lose my warranty

I have the solution for you. Just download this
http://goo.gl/NoKvOu
After rename it to .zip and copy to the Root of internal memory. After reboot into recovery and apply update from SD. You dont need to unlock bootloader. After that you will be in .23 version, and after you can flash the 5.0.2 ota just fine

[Q] [q] please help me!!!

I have a moto x xt1053 , factory unlocked version bought from moto maker.
previously i had unlocked bootloader, rooted my phone and done all sorts of **** with it like flashing cm12, but since i heard lollipop was officially coming, i decided to revert to stock. i returned to 4.2.2 by manually flashing it via mfastboot.
All though a few things had a remote failure while flashing, it worked well. now i had a stock moto x with unlocked bootloader. when i repeatedly received notifications from moto to update to kitkat, i accepted. it downloaded and when it went to that android logo with exclamation, i by mistake held the volume up and power button for a few seconds which made it reboot during the update. now, the phone doesn't work. it only opens to fastboot and it says my device is locked
although i had an unlocked bootloader.
now the device only says a few things like -
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
failed to hab check
CID read failure
invalid cid status 0*69
customer id error contact dealer ; 0xdead
No SP partition found
fastboot reason; invalid cid
i have tried everything to save it. nothing works. i cant flash images because on rsd lite it always fails, and manually it says bootloader permission denied since the bootloader has got locked. even TWRP won't flash.what do i do?
When i try to click on anything such as recovery or factory or barcode or bp tools, it says boot up failed and load kernel ((boot) failed in red.
PLEASE HELP ME FIX MY PHONE XDA!! i need you all!! i don't mind losing data or anything. i dont even mind running cm forever, but please get it to work!!
thanks a lot in advance.

You missed all the warnings to NOT DOWNGRADE and went back to 4.2.2.
See -> [INFO/WARNING]The Risks of Downgrading, and the impacts of GPT.BIN and MOTOBOOT.IMG
Determine the bootloader version on your phone. What is it?
If it is 30.B7 or lower, grab the 4.4.4 image/sbf file for your phone, and flash it by following the Requirements and Option 5 from Post #2 of -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/faq-how-to-prepare-ota-update-carriers-t3126425
If your bootloader is 30.BC or higher, or you had 5.1 on your phone, you best bet is to wait for a 5.1 SBF for your phone to be leaked or posted. There are some possibilities but they depend on finding the correct leaked Lollipop OTA zip file for your phone.

First... STOP FLASHING "all kitkats factory images"... that is how you got your self in this situation.
There are warnings about downgrading (flashing older SBFs) because its often either difficult and in many cases not possible to recover when you've bricked because of it.
Next... What Model X do you have, and who is the carrier?

Have you ever tried any of the Lollipop leaks? either 5.02 or 5.1? Did your phone get prompted to update to Lollipop and fail?
IF your bootloader is still 30.B7, and you have NOT tried flashing anything but XT1053 "retail" roms, and have NOT flashed the leaked 5.02 or now 5.1 or the offical 5.1, then... hit Moto's web site -> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images and request access then download "MOTO X, GSM Dev Edition:
KK-4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.29.1-2 (Retail) MR4"
Or download this copy from file factory which is the same rom version -> http://www.filefactory.com/file/2yh...4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.29.1_2_cid9_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
Next hit -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/faq-how-to-prepare-ota-update-carriers-t3126425 and view post #2... Use the requirements and Option #5 with this downloaded file, EXACTLY as written! Do NOT skip any steps.
If it errors, copy/paste exactly what it says on the PC, or take a picture of the phone's screen and post it.
Further, if this fails each time it tries to flash GPT.BIN, then you may be stuck until a 5.1 SBF leaks and you can flash with that as any option risks bricking your phone even worse.

What do I do if I've tried flashing 5.0.2 leaked rom of xt1058 before? It did work at that time though. So now do I have to wait till moto updates their website and puts up 5.1 for my phone on the site? I went to the service centre today and they told me to shell out 300$ for repairs. I could buy a new phone with that cash. Really need all you dev's help.

As i said before, DOWNGRADING is what got you into this situation. You can't do that. There are many warnings. Even a link to a thread discussing it (which also has links to many who have attempted to downgrade and have bricked).
If you had 5.x on there, and try to flash 4.x on there then you are downgrading.. NOW, the one caveat being IF you restored one of the TWRP backups of 5.x onto your phone, as that usually only restored /system and NOTHING ELSE which is better.. Its the OTHER PARTS that get in the way and cause issues when trying to downgrade.
IF however you flashed the XT1058 ROM (using RSDLite or fastboot), then took one of the LEAKED 5.x OTA updates at some point, its a different matter.
Again, *IF* your bootloader is 30.B7, then you should be able to do what I said a few posts ago. There is a 70% chance it will fix you. If not, then yes we must wait for a 5.1 SBF file for your carrier/model. Since you have the XT1053, Moto will eventually post it on their web site where they put Developer Edition recovery images, and you don't have to rely on a 5.1 SBF to LEAK (since leaks are not official, you cant count on them appearing)
IF your bootloader is 30.BC, 30.BD, or 30.BE, there are posts of people extracting the GPT.BIN and Bootloader from the leaked OTA zip files and flashing them to get their phone working, HOWEVER see this one -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/help-bricked-device-t3076918 where after doing that, getting it working, he took an OTA and it bricked him even worse.. That is why I say the SAFEST way would be to wait until the 5.1 SBF comes.. IF you want to attempt this, I won't advise you as to how, and will say that if you figure it out, DO NOT take an OTA!! Instead wait until the 5.1 SBF is posted, then fully flash that.

I'm pretty sure the BSF will be put up by 2 weeks so I'll just wait till then. But when I get it, how will I flash it? RSD lite right? Cause if I do it manually through mfastboot, stuff doesn't get flashed cause boot loader is locked. If it wasn't locked, I'd flash twrp days back.

As i said before, DOWNGRADING is what got you into this situation. You can't do that. There are many warnings. Even a link to a thread discussing it (which also has links to many who have attempted to downgrade and have bricked).
If you had 5.x on there, and try to flash 4.x on there then you are downgrading.. NOW, the one caveat being IF you restored one of the TWRP backups of 5.x onto your phone, as that usually only restored /system and NOTHING ELSE which is better.. Its the OTHER PARTS that get in the way and cause issues when trying to downgrade.
IF however you flashed the XT1058 ROM (using RSDLite or fastboot), then took one of the LEAKED 5.x OTA updates at some point, its a different matter.
Again, *IF* your bootloader is 30.B7, then you should be able to do what I said a few posts ago. There is a 70% chance it will fix you. If not, then yes we must wait for a 5.1 SBF file for your carrier/model. Since you have the XT1053, Moto will eventually post it on their web site where they put Developer Edition recovery images, and you don't have to rely on a 5.1 SBF to LEAK (since leaks are not official, you cant count on them appearing)
IF your bootloader is 30.BC, 30.BD, or 30.BE, there are posts of people extracting the GPT.BIN and Bootloader from the leaked OTA zip files and flashing them to get their phone working, HOWEVER see this one -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/help-bricked-device-t3076918 where after doing that, getting it working, he took an OTA and it bricked him even worse.. That is why I say the SAFEST way would be to wait until the 5.1 SBF comes.. IF you want to attempt this, I won't advise you as to how, and will say that if you figure it out, DO NOT take an OTA!! Instead wait until the 5.1 SBF is posted, then fully flash that.

There is no time table for when Moto will post the SBF file to their web site. We can hope they will do it sooner, rather than later. But at least with the XT1053, you know Moto WILL post it, unlike those who rely on leaks.
No. Do not RSDLite. RSDLite will likely fail due to the GPT errors. Again, use Option 5 of that post and mfastboot EXACTLY as written.
As long as you are flashing the Stock, and digitally signed by Moto rom for that phone carrier/model, you can flash with a locked bootloader. Its when you try to flash the rom for another model/carrier that locked bootloader comes into play.

I can't wait longer. Please tell me an alternate way to fix my phone? Or a leaked file for USA unlocked phone xt1053 of 5.1
As soon as it works, I'll switch to cyanogenmod and never switch back again.
Can you please tell me which moto boot gpt and recovery to flash from which sbf files so it boots up and I'll install twrp. I'll take the risk cause my phone's already ****ed up. If it's dead, it's dead. It'll be last attempt. You need not worry. Please tell me.

You said your bootloader was 30.B7, but you have NOT yet said if you tried what I put in Post #6....
Did you try that? what happened? I had asked you to copy/paste any errors and I didn't see them.

At this point, you need to wait on the 5.1 SBF to be safe. Anything else could risk bricking you even worse than you are, so I don't want to suggest it.
Keep an eye on -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/official-collection-firmwares-fxz-sbf-t3146628 and see if it pops up there before Moto posts it..
Or maybe @s5610 has an idea?

You didn't provide any details of what ROM you were on, but if you were on LOS15.1 you will find your answer only be reading the last couple of pages in the ROM thread.
Note from developer:
erfanoabdi said:
Guys I'm really sorry about OTA
It bricks device but to unbrick it just do this in bootloader node
fastboot --set-active=b
OTAs will be fixed after next update
Which means, need to manually install next update with TWRP then, OTA after that
Sorry again

I am on the same build. Well there is no official international pie but only Chinese and TWRP don't work as I said earlier too that the kernel hasn't been updated to pie. So it creates issues.
So there is no TWRP for pie.

I guess magisk works on Oreo and I'd don't then post bugs on magisk thread.

nevermind guys, already succeed installing twrp on global rom... I dunno what happened, already tried the fastboot devices command and it detected my device nicely, oem unlocking also works. but when to try installing recovery it says :

Sending 'recovery' (25401 KB) FAILED (remote: 'Requested download size is more than max allowed

Finished. Total time: 0.018s
the solution for me was change the usb cable, and also restarting my windows 10. after that it still gave me same messages for 1 or 2 times, and then it works...
