What is the current Fastboot/Bootloader version on your phone? Please post a picture.
Have you ever tried one of the leaked Lollipop updates, or twrp restores on your phone?
You mention SEVERAL sbf's you tried, but what model is your phone, and what carrier is it branded for origninally? i.e. does it have the ATT logo on the back? or what is written in the very small fine print on the back, and the bottom?
And exactly what were you doing that lead up to this situation?

Yep, you are stuck until the full 4.4.4 SBF is released for your carrier. Shouldn't have done that.
Who is your carrier? If it is AT&T, you are in luck! The 4.4.4 SBF was just released. If not....bummer - you will have to wait. Can't flash a ROM with a different CID with a locked BL.
I highly suggest you don't attempt to manually force the older rom. Really, beyond the fact that you flashed the wrong ROM, how did you miss all the warnings that downgrade = brick?
Tough situation to be in. Hopefully you have an AT&T unit. If so, we can help get you fixed up.
Well, I have solved it Unlocking my Bootloader and then reinstalling the rom 4.4.4 retail from Brazil. It works now.
I have a question, now I am in Brazil but I am from Perú, and when I try to change the APN for the one I use in Perú, it deletes itself, so I can not change the APN or create a new one because i can not save it. What is the problem in there?
My phone was Nextel operator, then I unlock it, never had a problem.
Hope your help.
Thanks!

Before messing with partitions are you 100% certain you flashed the exact factory firmware back to your phone? If you used firmware from any other model it will boot up but you will experience the exact problem you are having due to an incompatible modem(radio) file.
btw you can verify the model # of the phone as it is laser etched on the bottom(albeit very small).
Issue is cleared!!!
Thank you so much for your help . I have uploaded the wrong firmware and thats why the issue was repeating. Everything seems to be fine now.
Just one more thing ... can you please help how do i relock the bootloader ?
Relock the bootloader
Can you please tell me how to relock the bootloader?

[Q] Moto X AT&T is STUCK on Bootloader! [HELP]

Hi guys, yesterday i tried to install ROM "XT1058_GHOST_RETBR_5.1_LPA23.12-15_cid12_CFC.xml" to my moto X 1058 At&T (android 4.4.4) with RSD litle.
It failed and now i only can turn on the phone and it goes to bootloader menu and i cant do anything. I can connect it to my PC and RSD detect it but i cant put any kind of ROM ((
I know that my moto x is not dead yet i have hope u.u :crying:
Please someone can help me? :crying:
PS: SORRY MY ENGLISH
PS2: I ADD A SCREENSHOT WITH SOME DETAILS ABOUT MY MOTO X after DO what i explain.
First off, you have an ATT XT1058... why are you trying to flash XT1058_GHOST_RETBR.... which is for RETAIL BRAZIL!?!
Is your bootloader locked or unlocked?
EDIT: never mind, I read here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61834453&postcount=78 then you have a locked bootloader...
so my advice...
Try to boot into stock recovery, and wipe cache, and reboot.
If that doesn't work.. try a factory reset (also from inside stock recovery) NOTE: this will delete your data, apps, pix, music, anything on the phone's /sdcard... etc..
Next, would be to try to re-flash Stock ATT 4.4.4 SBF using mfastboot (see the requirements and option 5 in post 2 of -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/faq-how-to-prepare-ota-update-carriers-t3126425 )
If that doesn't work... then you have no choice but to wait until the 5.1 SBF for ATT XT1058 leaks and is posted... and flash that using mFastboot.

Into bootloader any option work, only for get pictures from IMEI, ID, etc.
I will try re flash stock ATT using mfastboot cause trying do this in RSD doesnt work
One friend told me he solved his problem unlocking bootloader by a program that unlock it automatic, then he instaled android 4.4.4.
My question is that if can i do what you are telling me cause in stock recovery appear 30.BE unde AP Fastboot Flash Mode (s) line. And it mean 30.BE= android 5.1 brazil so maybe i have to do a downgrade?
i dont know if you undestand me.
Thanks for your time
NEW INFO
i will writte more datails:
After i tryed install failed Brasil ROM the info about my cellphone is the next:
Bootloader version: 30.BE (sha-34b7ccb, 2015-04-22 12:57:17)
Bootloader is: LOCKED (and can´t be unlocked by motorola steps cause my moto x is AT&T)
Thinking about it and looking for a lot places from 2 days i have next conclusion:
How now i have bootloader version "30.BE" i have two options:
First: Downgrade android but i need unlocked bootloader for do it.
Second option: Wait until ROM android 5.1 by AT&T (i read update is ready but i cant find ROM, i only found ZIP for put in my internal memory and update android from old android but i cant access to my internal memory cause my PC does recognized like memory device)
What do you think guys?

I can tell that English (or at least USA Engish) isn't your primary language, so hopefully you can understand me too
An ATT XT1058 that has never been updated to 4.4.4 or above can use Sunshine to unlock the bootloader. Since you've had 4.4.4 and above on there, you can't unlock.
30.BE is a 5.1 bootloader. That is part of your problem. Somehow, parts of the XT1058_GHOST_RETBR... 5.1 SBF did flash to your phone, but not all of it..
Are you sure you didn't unlock your bootloader? Boot to FastbootAP/Bootloader screen and tell me what you see.. Do you see LOCKED STATUS 0, or Locked Status 2, or Unlocked Status 3?

Your first option is not correct. You can't fully downgrade, even with an unlocked bootloader. You can partially downgrade, but that isn't 100% safe. There is a very good chance it wont work, or you'll brick even worse when trying to downgrade, or later when taking the OTA.
For your second option.. Correct. As of yet, the FULL SBF of 5.1 for ATT hasn't leaked. Only the OTA Zip file which is an incremental update, not a full update, and therefore can't be used to recover in this state. Sit tight. Its only a matter of time.
I know you probably want to use your phone NOW, so waiting isn't a good option... but it is likely your only SAFE option right now.

I never tried to unlock bootloader and before start to trying to upgrade to 5.1 brazil, bootloader appear "DEVICE IS: LOCKED" and now appear the same "LOCKED AND STATUS 0". (check the image if you can)
The question now is: maybe you know if the solution is wait until 5.1 Android for AT&T or even if i have this ROM maybe exist a possibility that my moto doesn't get fix? Maybe the question is hard to confirm 100% but maybe it is a 90 % possible that my moto get fix with this way.
I love this phone but i was too newbie and I confused ways to change ANDROID by mys XPERIA and HTC's phones.

As I said earlier... flash using mfastboot (see the requirements and option 5 in post 2 of -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/faq-how-to-prepare-ota-update-carriers-t3126425 ) just use that 5.1 SBF... and I would consider including the mfastboot erase userdata command, or doing a factory reset after you flash... Yes it will erase your data, apps, SDCard, etc...

Hi in same situation. Did u fixed it?

[Q] XT1053 TMO possible brick - help please

Hi
Unlocked bootloader, rooted. I'd had some issues with my phone and thought it was a smart idea to do a full wipe and start completely from scratch. I'd done this before and had not had issues. This time round, not to much.
The link to the factory images on droid developers seems down to me. I wasn't 100% sure which version below I should be requesting from the motorola site?
When i tried to install what I thought was a good ROM, it kept saying 'unable to mount /cache /system' and other similar errors. This was when flashing in fastboot. i also tried RSDLite but it came up with an error 'rsd lite failed flashing process unknown fastboot command'.
My questions are:
1. Which version is the correct one for my first gen moto X TMobile edition?
2. When I get the correct version, will the above errors go away or is there some other issue?
Thanks in advance. I've tried to include as much detail as possible.
MOTO X, GSM Dev Edition:
L-5.1-LPA23.12-15 (Retail) LMR1
MOTO X, GSM Dev Edition:
KK-4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.29.1-2 (Retail) MR4
MOTO X, GSM Dev Edition:
KK-4.4.2-KXA20.16-1.25 MR3 (Retail)

You can use all of the above IF your device is XT1053 (Developer Edition). The first one is for Lollipop 5.1. 2nd, 3rd and 4th is for Kitkat with different version. The last one is JellyBean (Androind version 4.2.2). The choice is yours.

Thank you. I don't have developers but I read that its OK to use this on a non-dev edition. As they don't post images for non-dev editions that might be my only choice. I tried one here but the errors I mentioned came up TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_4.4-13.11.1Q2.X-69-3_MR2_CFC
Do you think the errors I saw are related to installing the wrong version or something else?

It could be wrong version or the file you used. Follow the steps from below link.
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images
I followed the steps from the link to the letter. I still got the same errors, and when I reboot it still just gets stuck at the 'warning bootloader' white and red screen, and never gets into the boot sequence for Android.
I tried both the 4.4 and the 5.1 GSM versions, and neither worked.
I pasted the errors I a seeing in the hope that someone can help

All the SBF files listed in OP are for Dev Edition and TMO. I used 5.1 for my XT1053. If you can go to fastboot and install TWRP, you haven't bricked yet. Tell me:
1) Which version were you in BEFORE trying the fastboot?
2) Which SBF file version did you try to flash using fastboot?
3) What is your Bootloader version. When you press Power + Vol Down and go to BL screen with Recovery etc options listed, check the no. at the top. It should be something like 30.BE (BE is the latest. you can have different version).
4) DO NOT use fastboot. You need to use 'mfastboot' for large system files. Search for 'mfastboot' in XDA. When you tried the fastboot method, did you get any errors especially with the system.img file?
Thanks, responses below

No wait. Do NOT try to downgrade. Important to know what is your BL version. Check @KidJoe signature. He has a link about dangers of downgrading.

BL version 30.B4
So your BL is of 4.4.2.. I would try mfastboot of 4.4.4 .. Read the links given in KidJoe signature and get a thorough idea of what you are doing before proceeding.

Good news! OMG I nearly cried when I saw the blue Motorola logo appear!!!
Bad news! But ugh I now have the dreaded 'wifi switch won't go on' issue. This is actually one of the reasons I formatted it in the first place! So i can't get it set up at all. Tried a reboot and the same issue.
Should I try a newer ROM (such as 5.1) and see if that fixes the issue? I hope this doesn't cause bootloader issues..! I'm so over being on the fastboot screen
Panic ye not. A cache clear in bootloader seems (for the moment) to have fixed the wifi issue.
Cool. So you are on 4.4.4 now? I didn't have any WiFi issues and don't know about that. Maybe you will find something on XDA.
And yeah you can use the 5.1 SBF file to upgrade. Your BL will be upgraded to 3.0BE after which you can't downgrade the BL. Aren't you getting any OTA updates asking you to install 5.1?

Thanks, yes. I'm not seeing any OTA updates to go to 5.1, which is weird. I don't yet have the TMo sim card installed, perhaps that's the reason? I'm adding a line so need to pick it up today. Perhaps it does some OTA check with the network before pushing it, to make sure its the right version. I'd prefer the OTA upgrade of course
Thanks again, I did the thanks button things. :good::good:
I read somewhere (not XDA) one person got OTA without having a sim card. Anyway, if you want to go to 5.1, I would say SBF method is the best. BTW, 5.1 hasn't been kind to me. I have a thread wherein I have posted the issue about Android optimizing all my apps on every reboot taking the boot time to 10-15 mins. Many ppl r having this issue. So it's up to you if you want to upgrade. And thanks

Thanks again Hitdroid. I'll see if the OTA takes once I get the SIM, else go to SBF method.

Moto G7 Plus XT1965-T (Motorola version NOT T-Mobile)

I bricked my G7 Plus and finally got it restored with the wrong firmware image (T-Mobile Revvlry+). It no longer has an IMEI or radio. Fastboot getvar all does return the IMEI correctly and it also reports radio: TMO and ro.carrier: retla.
I would like to get it working again with a stock rom.
Is there one available?
Is there a way to get the radio working and IMEI restore with the T-Mobile rom?
Stock ROMs from Lolinet:
Moto G7plus roms
But you need to find out what folder to pick according to your 1965 model.
Learn about the EFS and how to make a EFS backup, this is essential. It seems to happen often to loose cell network or IMEI with the G7 plus.
My phone is the same and got many problems when i unlocked it and tried to install LineageOS, fortunately they all be solved and now it is ok.
how about the status of your phone now?
black - no display?
slot a/b error?
fall to an old bootloader?

Lineage OS 11242020 build installed. No WiFi, no IMEI (although the IMEI shows in getvar), no service.
first i install the newest version (Lineage OS 20210105), it is no service.
then back to 20201124, now it's ok.
i'm not sure if this problem is caused by LineageOS.
so may be change to another version is a solution.
otherwise, if you have a stock rom, you can reflash the BP/BL and try it again.
below is the Tinyfastboot, it's a useful tool can help you try it.

Did you have any luck finding the ROM for the XT1965-T (Non-TMo, Moto)?
I have the same model, XT1965-T. In my attempts to flash Lineage (which included hard bricking it and then a bootloop) I did have to flash blankflash (to fix the hard brick) and then later a stock boot.img from the stock TMO ROM from lolinet, but I have not flashed any other parts of the stock TMO ROM.
My fastboot getvar all also identifies the device with radio: TMO and ro.carrier: retla.
From what I can tell, this is the same device that Moto licensed to T-Mobile as the "Revvelry+" and now Moto is selling it without a carrier lock. So it would not surprise me if some T-Mo remnants were there...
Would be interested to hear from someone who has a fresh unmodified device what their fastboot getvar output says.
For this phone, unlock and flash TMO rom didnot change the info of " radio: TMO and ro.carrier: retla. ", It was these at the beginning .
use twrp to make a nandroid backup especially the persist partition and do not wipe the persist partition that's were your imei is stored
PROBLEM SOLVED. See my post.

My main phone its a g8 plus but I bought this "T" unlocked version from amazon to my wife. She wants YT Vanced with her google acc so I decide to root this phone.
Fortunately I been use my G8+ for while until I brick and unbrick this... Then I learn what can and cannot do with this motorola phones. The first reason for do not touch the stock firmware in this phone its because Lenovo rescue software reconize this G7+ like XT1965-3 version, not XT1965-T version. I tried "rescue" with this (XT1965-3) firmware on the Lenovo software and do not work. So if you bricked it, its probably sure that software do not work.
(I tryed this before unlock bootloader)
The second warning its after you unlock the bootloader, if you proceed to install TWRP and choose flash the main partition your done. I guess this phones still recive security patchs (the last one was feb 21) So, even if your do not root but flash TWRP into the main partition you can not be able to "update" your phone again.
(What I do was temporally flash TWRP from cmd to install magisk).
This phone its a "master piece" very useful and cheaper but this version could be a pain in the As*. I still figured out how to get back into android 9 becuase this brought android 10 outted box. I guess we can got a little more battery with this version... So any suggestion are welcome : )
Just picked this phone up at best buy (119 new) and unlocked bootloader, and installed pixel exp rom and so far no problems( haven't tried rooting yet but will)

I saw a guy with a moto XT1965-2 device flashing android 9 stock rom in this video. But I'm a little afraid to do that because this its a single sim device.
Expert here, please help. I have moto g7 plus i got from Motorola directly as replacement variant (XT1965-T) but its going on boot loop. I tried to use Moto recover tool but it does read phone to do rom install. I tried manual also still not working. I tried to do install myself rom by using info and rom from another forum (https://motostockrom.com/motorola-moto-g7-plus-xt1965-t) but it fails to write using flasfile.bat. even though it says usb connected. in recovery mode it also shows OEM locked. is that's the reason ? I just want this phone to work with standard rom of it suppose to work as i got it unlocked version. Please help.

HI What did you do in first place to get a bootloop? Did you unlock the bootloader or something?

No. I just got this from Motorola as replacement from my previous Moto G7 Plus which had screen problem. But the one send me as replacement looks new but as soon as turn it on and it try to connect to Wifi during initial setup it reboot and keep doing. Seems to either issue with OS or wifi hardware. Moto is not willing to replace as it just passed warranty period. Please help.
