Gps lost lock since 5.1 update - Moto X Q&A

Hi !
Since 5.1 update, I noticed that I regularly have some lock lost with the Gps. As I use the Moto X to contribute to OpenStreetMap, I record gpx trace and use them to geolocalize pictures, and I see some "hole" in the record.
And I see some lockup when I use OsmAnd for car routing.
I never encounter this before the Lolippop update.
Anyone see this bug too ?

yes i have same issue , this only on lollipop.

Android 5.1 Lollipop
on Garmin StreetPilot it can't locate position.

In a way, I'm happy to see that I'm not alone.
Time to put some pressure on https://forums.motorola.com/hives/a440c30711/summary ?

I've started a thread :

Try these two commands and see if it help:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2

Thanks eksasol, i will try.
But I think the answer is here, it's a global problem on Lollipop.
On my Moto X, airplane mode seems to reduce the problem but i need more tests.

downgrading Moto G LTE to 4.4.4 ---> FAIL! [XT1040]

Hi everyone! I'm new here.
I tried to downgrade my XT1040 using fastboot from 5.1, but when the phone restarted, Lollipop was still there. The phone was formatted and with no network signal and Wi-Fi capabilities :crying: . The phone enters in a loop of restarting that doesn't stops until I manually turn it off.
I've tried to install stock ROMs via fastboot and via TWRP, but the problem persist. The bootloader is unlocked.
I'm looking for a solution as I havenĀ“t found anything useful on the internet...
PLEASE HELP!!!
You can NOT downgrade via fastboot to a version with lower BL (e.g. KitKat), and even if you manage to do that, chances are you will receive an OTA update that pushes you into an unrecoverable brick state.
For now, since your device can still power on, I believe flashing stock and wiping data afterwards should be suffice to get it back on track.

Finally, I found a stock ROM for my region (Latin America) so I installed it via fastboot with mfastboot and adb. It seems that the loose of WiFi and network capabilities it's a common issue on devices running an incompatible version of Android.
Thanks! (close topic)

[Stock Android 6.0] Random Reboot's solution?

Hello guys
I have stock android 6.0 [24.11.18.victara_reteu.reteuall.en.Eu retfr] on my Motorola Moto X 2014 [XT1092] after OTA update to android 6.0 I have always random reboot's on it. I search for all internet about a possible fix and I think I tried almost everything but I have hope can solve this problem.. Put on Moto X 2014 forum too but is a old device without much visibility!
I have try to hard resed and wipe caches (don't know how many times I did it, probably 100 with various configurations). Last time I do it I just reset/wipe and initiate the phone without sim-card and internet (always skip) after that I put the sim-card without 4G and WiFi and didn't install or update any type off app (Google's backup is disable and I clean everything I could about old's data) and the phone always reboots (think we never could stay 24h on without a single reboot, this is so frustrating).
Hardware phone problem? System operating problem (is stock and didn't see nobody like me)?
Any one have suggestions what I could do more or someone have this problem with your stock device?
Thank you for the time dispend reading this :good:

as long as the phone
does not have
a custom recovery
and unlocked bootloader
root
you should be able to take it to a shop - the place you bought it and explain
if you don't know what an unlocked bootloader or custom recovery is - your good to go

[HELP] Dying Moto X (XT1058), trying to save it, any help appreciated

Hello,
So my Moto X (1st gen, 2013, XT1058) used to work fine on KitKat but after it auto-updated to Lollipop it started messing up more and more every day. The phone is fully stock and locked. Here's a brief list of problems:
random freezes and crashes of apps and the OS itself
random screen freezes (doesn't respond to touches) or completely blank screen apart from the notification bar, often times nothing help but a reboot
random reboots, "optimizing apps" every so often on boot, especially when on charger
flaky and unreliable WiFi, not connecting when it should or disconnecting at random including when screen goes off (despite having "always on" selected)
GPS would sometimes have difficulty acquiring lock and would lose lock randomly (worked just fine before)
I'm not quite sure what to do at this point. It's the AT&T variant which means the bootloader is not unlockable. It is also updated to the latest OTA (build LPAS23.12-21.7-1) which means no rooting method works, or at least I haven't been able to find any. So I can't get even a temproot. I tried everything I could find, nothing worked and I'm running out of options. I love this phone and I'd like to get it back to working order. I'm wholeheartedly hoping someone here will have some good advice or some resource I haven't tried.
Here's what I tried so far:
multiple factory resets, both from system settings and through recovery
didn't help, works for a while but all the issues reappear soon after
rooting with KingRoot
failed, rooting method not available
rooting using this method
failed (not surprising, it does mention it doesn't work on OTA)
unlocking BL via Moto's official unlock service
device not supported
installing moforoot
failed, mofoverify just quits silently and the phone shows a message about some missing fastboot var
unlocking BL using Sunshine
says the device should be supported but then fails acquiring temproot, the phone just reboots
reflashing stock KitKat from here (file: ATT_XT1058_4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.26_CFC_1FF.xml.zip) via fastboot
failed, OS/BL downgrade not allowed
reflashing stock Lollipop from here (file: ATT_XT1058_5.1.0_LPAS23.12-21.7-1_cid1_CFC.xml.zip) via fastboot
partial success, managed to flash a few parts, however it fails on all relevant partitions (gpt, boot, system), reports "downgrade not allowed" just like with KitKat which is surprising, this version/build should be exactly the same as what's currently on the phone
wiping userdata and cache via fastboot
didn't help
I might have tried some other things/methods too, this is just what I could remember right now.
Again, I'd very much appreciate if someone could help me revive this phone. I enjoyed using it while it was working well and I'd like to get it back to that state. Any help is very much appreciated.
Cheers!
I'm having exactly the same issues on my wife's moto x. The only thing I've been able to do for a temporary fix is to enter stock recovery and clear cache. Is there really no root/custom rom method for this device?

No IMEI sensors fail

Good evening everyone! I have a G5S Plus Xt 1802 Conrado recently. I was on the PIXEL ROM. And I decided to install Nougat using the following tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...t1802-return-stock-firmware-moto-g5s-t3747342 using the automatic block.bat.
But to find myself in, I find myself with a sad surprise. I was left without my IMEI and without the call sensor, and a screen cycle. And the bike screen. And for what is a strange sensor sensor works the same as call.
I've already used modemst1 erase and erase modemst2 I've already installed all the custom ROMs available for the handset but nothing worked. I've done everything. Please help me help me I am very grateful .

G7 Plus Android 10 Bluetooth issue

Hi all
I have re-posted this to the G7 plus forum, I mistakenly posted it in the G7 forum previously.
I have a Motorola G7 Plus XT1965-3 RETGB, after being pestererd by the update to android 10 mesage for several weeks, I finally agreed, since then, the phone fails to work with my in car head unit bluetooth connection.
It pairs, and will stream music from the phone through bluetooth to the head unit, just will not work as a hands free phone.
The head unint is a Kenwood DNX4230DAB, it shows the device connected as A2DP, but the phone (HFP) just shows connecting forever, before the update to Android 10, it worked flawlessly.
I've tried doing a full device reset, didn't help, and following various things posted on forums on the web, again no luck, the phone is unrooted, and the bootloader is locked, it is essentially as was when purchased other than the Android 10 OTA update.
Can anyone tell me is it poossible to roll back the Andoroid 10 update, I should never have done it in fairness, i've been bitten many times before with updates breaking stuff.
If anyone has any suggestions as to how to get the handsfree calling working again, or can offer a easy to follow guide on how to roll back to Android 9, I would be super grateful, I need to get the device working as a handsfree phone before I go back to work this week if at all possible.
Hoping someone can help.
I have an similar issue. On LOS17 the phone app works well with bluetooth but all the other voip apps like zoiper, bria or groundwire dont. the audio over bt is one way only
Regarding your issue: I afraid an OTA downgrade is not possible. However with fastboot you should be able to flash every stock you want as long as it is stock
Unfortunately, I tried to flash the stock Android 9 retgb rom, now the phone is a brick!
I wasn't aware that you need to unlock the bootloader before you flash the rom, so now it will no longer start

You only need to unlock the bootloader when you are downgrading or switching to another version, like from retus to retbra, saying this, you phone turns on? does it do anything? maybe you just need to flash the rom again, you can go here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/lake/ and find the firmware for your phone, you may have to flash it manually, i have tried to flash the firmware for my phone with RSD Lite but it says that its not in bootloader, if you are flashing the same build that you had or a higher build you dont need to have an unlocked bootloader, just check the dates and the build numbers to make sure that its the same you had or a higher one, just search how to manually flash it, if its really bricked, that it will not boot into bootloader, you can use blankflash to save it, just search on the forum
