[Q] Error Failed to Validate System image

Good day
I was trying to update my 2014 Moto G XT1068 from (Kitkat) 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 (Lollipop)
from following this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-lollipop-indian-ota-captured-t3002674
Now forgive cause I am new to rooting etc, when I did try and root the phone using the global firmware, my sim was disable. So I decided to use differnet firmware with resulted in sim card not getting signal. So I end up using the Brazilian update for the firmware, and ended up having the phone in AP Fastboot Flash Mode with the error is " Error Failed to Validate System Image"
I have tried using different firmware to get back the phone to work, but to no luck, I am asking what steps can I take now to try and fix my problem.

Moto g 2014 xt1068 indian ver stuck in boot loop

Hello can any senior member plz help me out.
I have unlocked and rooted moto g2 2014 mobile it was working fine.
But I done a stupid thing by editing system file and overwriting it.
Then my phone stuck in boot loader
I can access recovery TWRP i tried to wipe Delvic and cache and factory resetting but it did'nt worked.
Therefore buy following the link i tried to flash with orginal frimware
www droidviewsmoto g 2014 to stock and lock the bootloader
it was not successful again it strucked in boot loop with Android dead symbol in recovery
------>> Then tried to install TWRP recovery it was successful, but unable to install super user.
There fore I tried to repeat the process buy using both sdk windows platfom tools and vfastboot
buy typing command in cmd as mfastboot.exe oem lock begin
and noticed error saying
hab check failed for boot
failed to verity hab image boot
failed to validate boot image
Plz sir can any one help me out plz

I did not face this exact error, but have faced error like image verification failed and my phone was bricked. Installing stock Lollipop didn't help. So I installed stock Kitkat via fastboot, and it worked, my phone booted successfully to Kitkat. Later I upgraded to Lollipop. Try this and let me know if it works.

Thanks for replying to my post
As it was a soft brick
I was searching so many links in xda
.... At last one link worked for me I got back my stock Lolly pop version back
XDA forums really helped me :good:

MOTO X 2014 need help!!

I upgraded my moto X 2014 to 6.0, I rooted by used older version of SuperSu, and I can't boot any more. Then I used newest version to root (both via twrp), I boot successfully, but lot of system progress died.
I decided to downgrade system to 5.1, I flashed recovery, boot, and system, but I can't boot either. Then did full flash, I got error in
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin,
which said I can't downgrade it.
preflash validation failed
I don't know what to do now, please help!

You can't downgrade gpt once you have updated.
You are good to go for downgrading system though.
Downgrading gpt might brick your device.

Soft brick MOTO X XT1052

I was trying to flash custom rom to my phone but keep on getting "error executing updater binary in zip" . Trying out the options I accidentaly wiped internal storage and with it the recovery. Now i am not having any OS in my phone
I have downloaded couple of rom from Cyanogen for MOTO X (ghost) but each of them give same error ,using twrp 2.8.7.0 as recovery (haven't tried by changing with other because its the only thing left there)
Also tried
flasing custom ROM
but here the problem is "downgraded security version update gpt_main version failed"
Was running on Android 5.1 before this all happened
PLEASE HELP DONT WANT T HARD BRICK MY PHONE

You have to flash stock rom using Rsd lite and u will be good to go

can't find a stock rom asia retail android 5.1
and can't flash 4.4 it shows downgraded security version update gpt_main version

Use the TWRP here (thanks to @rrvvrr) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3171698&d=1424260997
Its 2.8.5.0. it resolves the script error on xt1052 which official verions have.
Here's the XT1052 IMAGE https://mega.nz/#!U9lRFBgD!POchMYI96ZTy16M_PGSZ4aIjo6ktpaHKaJAmp6XBUR4

while flashing the new recovery to my device using cmd is there any risk for hard brick(when I wont be able to open custom recover or bootloader)

I recommend you flash the factory image through RSDLite once and then proceed to flash CM if you want

rsd dosen't recognize device
I just have the firmware of android 4.4 for my device but lastly it was running on 5.1 so i need that and i cant find that for my device
Can you please describe the step by step procedure to do
Thanks

My phone wiped everything and is bricked atm. I'm trying to flash the image you posted here but it fails every time at the partition and system stages. It won't work in RSDLite so I tried doing it in cmd but fails at those two points. Do you know why this might be?
Thanks

I was on 6.0 on XT 1095. Please help me flash this stock ROM to get out of bootloop

Hi,
I was on 6.0 on XT1095. Tried to root it. Screwed up by flashing something that didn't work. Now i am stuck on 'warning bootloader unlocked' screen. Previously when I was on 5.1 I restored my phone from bootloop by using official images from Moto and using their instructions. Now there are no 6.0 images. I guess trying to reflash the whole 5.1 ijmages would brick my phone. I tried flashing just the system image of 5.1. It didn't work.
I found this 6.0 stock ROM here on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/rom-xt1095-flashable-stock-rom-t3277874 . How do I flash this?
Please help. I'm on stock recovery. Previously I ran commands like 'fastboot flash system x.img' and so on when phone was in fastboot mode. How to flash this zip now.
Thanks in advance.

A bootloop is simple to get out of. Just press and hold the power and volume down keys to boot into recovery and go from there. If your phone isn't booting past the unlocked bootloader warning splash then you need to elaborate on WTF you flashed. Just saying "something that didn't work" isn't sufficient to make an accurate diagnosis.
To flash that stock ROM you posted a link to above would require you to fastboot flash a custom recovery first.
As for restoring a 5.1 image I don't understand why you'd think that would brick your device. You're formatting the entire device by going back to ANY stock image. Just because you are on 6.0 doesn't mean you have to restore a 6.0 stock image (that probably won't be available for some time).
