Hi, my moto x is with at&t locked bootloader. BL vision is 30.B7.
My moto x can connect with my pc but not RSD. So i have to flash it with cmd on my own.
I flash the 4.4.4 firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/fxz-moto-x-4-4-4-att-xt1058-t2866752 .
Unfortunately, when i flash system.img , it always failed.
cmd saying: error: write_spare_skip_chunk: don't care size 89386544 is not a multiple of the block size 4096.
phone fastboot saying: mismatched PIV partition name for system.
how can i do ?
I would advise you to read that thread you linked to or better yet post your problem in that thread instead of making a new thread.

firstly i advice using RSD but its up to you. try different sync cable, different usb ports install drivers, uninstall drivers and reinstall them reboot pc etc. drivers for moto x try one of these roms make sure you use the one for your device. open the .xml file and remove any line with "oem" and "var" in it
Are you using the command mfastboot to flash your system.img? The system image is too large for regular fastboot.

For the system image, you will have to use mfastboot instead of the regular fastboot command.

Bricked Moto X 2014? Fastboot flashing, ADB sideloading, nothing seems to work
Hello,
I have this Moto X 2nd gen (XT1092), and I wanted to install an Android Marshmallow OS last weekend.
I did it according to this article on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/install-image-marshmallow-6-0-xt-1097-t3266858 , where an install image plus small install description is posted.
This is the first ‘non-standard’ thing I tried with this phone. It is not rooted, nor did I make any changes in the settings for developers, apart from enabling USB debugging. The device was running an stock version of Android 5.1, which I received the normal way(just an automatic system update).
Using some 'fastboot flash....' commands via the PC, the image should be installed. However, upon trying the first command: 'fastboot flash partition gpt.bin', the terminal responded with:
-------------------------
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'partition' (32 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.003s]
writing 'partition'...
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.102s
-------------------------
Afterwards, my phone didnt boot to android anymore. The only thing it does is put me in "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)"
I have tried installing different stock Motorola images/zips for my phone, in order to try to get it back to how it was, but for every fastboot flash I want to do (except for the boot logo), I get the preflash validation error.
I also tried sideloading images via ADB via the recovery mode, bit this doesn’t work either:
When I try "adb sideload <IMAGE>.zip", it starts to send the file to the phone, and the phone receives it. Very quickly after completing the transfer, though, the phone can say two things (depending on what .zip file I try):
1.
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
Package expects build fingerprint of motorola/victara_reteu/victara:5.0/LXE22.46-19.1/1:user/release-keys or motorola/victara_reteu/victara:5.1/LPE23.32-25.1/1:user/release-keys; this device has motorola/victara_reteu/victara:4.4.4/KXE21.187-42/41:user/re
Installation aborted.
2.
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installation aborted.
One thing to note is that when I try 'adb devices', it gives me:
-------------------------
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb devices
List of devices attached
TA99300SXJ sideload
-------------------------
It says that the device is in ADB sideload mode, which blocks me from using other ADB functions, like shell. Is there a way to get 'full' ADB acces?
I also tried using the official Motorola “RDS Lite” software, as some people say this can be used to correctly flash an image to the phone, but this program just does not see my phone.
I did install all drivers, and Windows recognizes the device correctly, in both fastboot and ADB (recovery) mode.
Another thing I wanted to do to solve this, is to unlock the bootloader, as some people on forums said that this would help. However, when I try “fastboot oem unlock UNIQUEKEY” with the key I got from the Motorola website, the bootloader responds with the message stating that I have to enable unlocking the bootloader via developer settings. And obviously, I cannot go to settings to enable this.
-------------------------
I’m very stuck here, and I would be the intensely happy if there would be someone around who can help me get my phone back to life!
I do have experience with flashing Android ROMs/Images/Zips, but not on Motorola devices.
I reckon that this:
“Package expects build fingerprint of motorola/victara_reteu/victara:5.0/LXE22.46-19.1/1:user/release-keys or motorola/victara_reteu/victara:5.1/LPE23.32-25.1/1:user/release-keys; this device has motorola/victara_reteu/victara:4.4.4/KXE21.187-42/41:user/re”
could possibly be caused by an incorrect zip file. If that is the case, is there any way to obtain the proper file?
I did read about some special micro USB cables connecting the normally unused pin 4. Could this be helpful?
Any help would be IMMENSELY appreciated. I'm not ready to give up the fight!
Kind regards,
Ostheer
This same thing happened to me today. Ive had my fair share of rooted phone issues but this one is a mystery to me. Ive rooted every other Moto device [G, G '14, X, X Pure] And now a new issue arises.
I used a .bat file from CLARK_RETUS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml_SHAWN5162 . It finished and booted into bootloader but wont go anywhere from there. I have a feeling Ive reset to a locked state with no boot file.
Device is LOCKED. Status Code:0
Software status: Modified

Just like you I tried several fixes and no luck.
1. ADB Lite: Same issue
2. mfastboot Same issue
3. RSD Lite: Does not recognize my devices (win 10 / sdk / all drivers / redownloaded 3 times)
4. any bat file I try / manual code / or adb all fail
There must be a solution to this. I want Marshmallow 6.0 just as much as the next guy to work on my phone. Thanks for the help

At this point I would be happy to get anything to work on it, 6.0 is not a requirement for me anymore.
For me it says: "Software status: Official", and getting the unlock data works. Still can't unlock though, as this should've been enabled in settings apparently.

Well there is your problem, your bootloader is locked. You can't flash firmware that is not for your model/carrier with a locked bootloader. It absolutely will fail.
Try flashing this with mfastboot:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/i8htlx8fqpv/VICTARA_RETEU_XT1092_5.1_LPE23.32-25.3_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
Most likely gpt.bin and motoboot will fail to flash, just keep flashing all the files even if those 2 fail.
If this works, do NOT use the OTA update to get to 6.0 there is a high probability that you will hard brick your phone if you use OTA, and there is no way to fix that currently.
Because of what you did, you will have to wait for a full 6.0 firmware for the xt1092EU. Do not flash anything else until that is released.

@AGISCI,
Thank you for your reply. I am currently downloading the file you linked, and will try to flash it using mfastboot as soon as it finishes downloading.
I did indeed hear that using the OTA afterwards is not something you will want to do.

This I think is your delay. I just woke up today and noticed my phone now says UNLOCKED I didnt do anything else but attempt all my failed steps on another computer and a reboot [which had not been done since system failure. So it boot up like it was unlocked and didnt go further. Back to bootloader mode, let see if it works
YES! Got it to load up and boot using this 6.0 zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/rom-installation-rsd-t3263800
However now my SIM card isnt being recognized. Which ssems to happen all the time when using a file from another country. Isnt there a simple solution for this fix?

That is great news! I am still downloading the zip AGISCI linked.
So if I'm correct, in the fastboot screen it now says "device is unlocked" for you?
What steps did you make to try to unlock the bootloader?
Also, am I correct to assume that you used fastboot/mfastboot to flash your zip in the end?
How is it possible? Your bootloader just got unlocked without root!
I will be more than happy if you explain again what you did and what happend exactly.
Thanks.
Whenever you flash a firmware meant for another region/carrier, you are also flashing the modem/radio that supports that region/carrier, so you have to find the firmware that supports your device/region/carrier and flash the modem/radio from it, in bootloader mode:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
These are the files you need to flash "NON-HLOS.bin" and "fsg.mbn"

It sounds like the download of the .zip is corrupt. You will need to download the zip again. There is a list of md5 values in an xml file inside the zip. If the md5 is different it won't flash as a safety precaution.

You are indeed correct. I dont think using another computer helped, although I managed to get FLASH Partition gpt.bin to work first try. What I think happened was my friend [not knowing it was in bootloader] did the bootloader button sequence and failed so instead it just tried to boot up [Stopped @ unlocked bootloader screen]
SO after I got 6.0 to work the radio network wasnt the same so now my SIM isnt being recognized.
So I looked for a simple solution and found directions
The Radio uses these lines of the flash process:
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
I searched for Moto X radio files but no luck, however I did find this link for Moto G which is everything I need to find the solution myself with instructions

I believe that Root is a step that comes after bootloader
[YOUR PHONE]
1. unlock-Bootloader --> mfastboot oem get_unlock_data
This is the first step Motorola tells you to do. Go Here: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
2. Install TWRP --> mfastboot flash recovery 'your twrp.img'
At this point your phone should turn on, if not your not finished
3. Install Root --> push SuperSU-v2.--
This zip I have CLARK_RETUS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml_SHAWN5162.zip started this whole mess but it was made to where you can relock your phone after returning it to stock. Problem was that when I ran the .bat file it never took the files so it dumped every partition THEN locked me out, or just pretended to, Im still unsure because I think all I did was try to push a flash line by line [eg. gpt.bin,motoboot,logo...] only got to motoboot and then did a reset. :highfive:

Thanks for the reply. I checked all MD5's and compared them to the ones I generated with a MD5 checksum tool, they all match. I am downloading the zip again, but theoretically that shouldn't help as de MD5's are good.
"Invalid signed image" stays the problem here, unfortunately...
Is there no way to unlock the bootloader if you didn't enable this via settings in Android?

Thought so,
I was on an official 5.1 build, presumably with the patch indeed, as my phone was fully updated and the patch came out in September. For the patch I can't be 100% sure though.
I downloaded the zip for the second time, but as expected after the MD5 check, the results were the same...

I don't know if this is the reason, but maybe if you did not have the stagefright patch you need the firmware without it. Here is the 5.1 without stagefright to try:

I am currently downloading this zip, and also some others.
Curiosity:
How is the phone actually checking the file signatures? What is it comparing them to?
I'm wondering how did I manage to make the phone unable to boot, while the bootloader doesn't allow anything to be flashed?

The images are also signed by motorola with a special key that only they have and know. If the key does not match with your installed firmware flashing will fail.

I downloaded the zip without stagefright, and flashing it using the described procedure again gave the error 'Preflash validation failed' - 'Invalid PIV signed system image'.
Strangely though, flashing motoboot.img actually did work for the first time. (!)
Also flashing the recovery.img works for most zips I tried. That's rather strange as apparently they are being checked too: flashing a twrp recovery (unsurprisingly) didn't work: "mismatched partition size (recovery)".

I requested a compatible stock zip from Motorola for my device, using a ticket on their site. Probably they won't be very eager to supply it though.
Hello guys ! I am very happy that I found you ! I am apologize for my poor english, but you are my last hope of help. . .
My Moto X 2014 2nd was Flawless and perfect before the last OTA update in 2015.... After I installed, my phone don`t reboot anymore and freezing with the first white logo image about 20 sec and after appear a black screen with the "dead" android robot with red exclamation on it said "NO COMAND". The injured android logo just repeatedly flashes on for an instant and then disappears. Nothing happens when I hold the power button and press volume up. Anything I choose from bootloader is giving me the same result. I read all the pages from here and I am still stuck...
-I install everything: adb (it recognize the device - TA99303EV4) but every comand failed with a "REMOTE FAILURE" message. Fastboot or mfastboot - the same..... I try the CODE that i receive from Motorola ( for unlock the bootloader) but it failed again: "check Enable OEM Unlock in Developer Option". Yeah, right - but I can`t do it now with this black screen
-The RDS Lite doesn`t recognize my device (many restarts, different USB ports and computers, nothing works...)
-Motorola Device Manager said: "No updates for your phone. Current Version: 23.16.3.victara.retes.retesall.en.eu"
-In the Device manager (win 7 32bit) it appears ok: Motorola ADB Interface
My Bootloader screen looks like this:

Please, help me... In my country there is nobody who can repair my beloved phone, I went 4 times to diferent service centers and nothing... Maybe with your help, my beloved MOTO X will be back to life again. If, OMG, IF i knew before to check/enable that option in the developer option - USB debbuging......
I wish you all the best for all and thank you so much for every posible answer !
Please corect me if I am wrong:
I thing that once OTA was upgraded the partition table, then I can`t never go back. Maybe the bootloader (motoboot.img) (also system) would ONLY work with the correct partition table. Meaning that I can't mix and match at all.
I think that means that I am currently stuck with the latest GPT from the last OTA i received. Somehow maybe the bootloader was downgraded and won't work for flashing other partitions ?! ...
That means that if I flash the new bootloader version and reboot, maybe it will be back to life. So guys, what version do you thing I must try to flash ?
Please respond me, I don`t know where to ask anymore... If I only could pass that "Device is LOCKED . Status Code 0" will be so. . . blissful
I have so much expectations from the MASTERS of this forum and nobody give me a chance. . . an ideea. . . I simply don`t believe: Am I the only one who has this stupid problem ?!?!
So, because of your complete silence (and only views) I understand that I have to throw my phone on the trash because:
- nobody told me that I have to enable this stupid USB debugging option on the first day when I bought the phone.
- nobody told me that I have to unlock this bootloader on the second day when I bought this phone.
- nobody told me that I should NEVER trust the OTA updates that destroyed my phone who works flawless before. . .
I will still wait, maybe someone, SOMEONE will find a solution for this idiot situation.
With all my great respect,
Matrix.
Hi,
You should be able to flash stock images without USB debugging enabled.
Can you explain a bit more how you tried to flash the image ?
Hope we'll find a solution,
Best regards.
I use the common way like usual - mfastboot, fastboot, Android SDK Slim, the image package is in the same folder. . .
fastboot devices - returns my serial number so my phone is conected and recognized.
After I tried all this comands like usuals:
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
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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot reboot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
but after EVERY comand, the messages is sending...OK, writing and this stupid lines:
Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote control)
finished. Total time .....followed by some seconds.
I tried also the mfastboot command instead of fastboot - the same result. . .
like this:
erasing 'userdata'...
(bootloader) Failed to erase partition
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 10.000s
erasing 'cache'...
(bootloader) Failed to erase partition
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 10.000s"
On and on, the same message . . . .

Make sure your battery is fully charged before trying to flash anything. Sometimes a low battery can be the reason for the failure messages.
My battery is fully charged. . . I even let it over night. . .
I found these on several sites:
1) "If you're flashing your variant's factory image, you can flash it without unlocking the bootloader. You would only need to unlock the bootloader if you want to flash another variant's image or a custom ROM." So I try with victara_retes-user 5.1 LPE23.32-25.3 3 (Blur_Version.23.16.3.victara_retes.retesall.en.EUVersion) and is NOT working. Same failure message. . .
2)"Google has added a check box under Developer Options that enables the OEM unlock command to work. If that box isn’t checked, then you will see an error during the bootloader unlock process. So without the option checked in Developer settings to allow OEM Unlock, users can't modify the system partition"
Which variant should I choose to be true ?. . .

You need the xt1092 reteu 5.1 firmware.
Sent from my XT1095 using Tapatalk
Thank you so much for your answers ! All of you !
Can you give me a correct link ? There is so many xt 1092 reteu 5.1 firmware, and I want to be 100% sure that I`ll do it like you told me.
Can I look here for the corect one ?
http://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto X (2nd gen-2014)/Stock/XT1092/
I will try today again with this xt1092 reteu 5.1 firmware. But if the phone blocked every attempt to flash or erase its partitions, does it matter which firmware I send it to flash ?. . .
I`ll post the result as soon as I`ll arrive at home. Hope you are right, so much !
I really don`t understand why the Motorola official site who send me the unlock bootloader code special for my phone doesn`t work . . . It was so simple if it works. . .:crying:
Youre bootloader isn,t unlocked because off status zero.
Follow this guide.

With all my respect sir, you didn`t read my posts. . . .
I already past this stupid step, like I said:
"I try the CODE that i receive from Motorola ( for unlock the bootloader) but it failed again: "check Enable OEM Unlock in Developer Option". . . . . . I already attach the image that proves what I am talking about and about. . .
So. . .bad news. Is the same error message, over and over again, with this firmware xt1092 reteu 5.1 . . . The phone simple don`t want to be flashed, don`t wanna accept any comand . Is there any way to flash SOMETHING on this phone ? I should try another program to flash, or something like TWRP recovery, or . . . another firmware ?
I don`t know, SOMETHING, SOMEHOW ?
I am sad. Very sad.
I attached a picture.
p.s the firmware that I tried was from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/ota-t3132045.
and a little movie, trying every combination of pressing. . .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDTSncEvscM
wherever I tried to flash the RETES or RETEU 5.1 firmware, the phone respond with " invalid PIV signed system image". I am choose the wrong variants ?!?
Nobody can help me ? . . .

Why dont you try flashing KITKAT Bootloader and image... It'll remove that silly option of OEM Unlocking in Developer Options... And maybe you will have luck with this... If the phone is already sort of dead, its worth a shot...
---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------
Also I wonder why don't you go back to MOTO Care, if your bootloader isn't yet unlocked they may help you with it..
I really wish I could help, but since I haven't posted enough, can't provide the links, so I'll do my best to give you exact google search terms to use.
I managed to softbrick my phone the day I got it. Engabling USB debugging doesn't matter in fastboot, which is where you'll be doing all the recovery/fixing at. I can't assure you that this will work for you, different problems can make for different results, however this tool was the only successful way I was able to recover my device.
Tool I used: House of Moto [4.3] SamuriHL's House of Moto - DroidRzr
It shows up as the second link in a google search for me.
The place I got the factory ROM from was: Downloads for Motorola Moto X 2014 by Motorola-Firmware-Team | AndroidFileHost | Download GApps, PA GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers
This one is a bit more difficult, any of the results will be fine, but on the page, on the right side toward the bottom, select your phone, then the exact model.
This will do a full factory flash, you don't need the bootloader unlocked to do this. Alternatively, if you have better luck than me with using RSD Lite, that tool should work, too (it's never worked for any of my phones on any of the five computers I've tried it with, so I regard that software as hopelessly useless, but everyone has different results).
@hamzaalijoiyah
"Why dont you try flashing KITKAT Bootloader and image"
I`ve tried with the same silly message - Failed (remote failure).... !!!!!
@Kayjay0x
Thank you for this new idea/trying to resurect my beloved Moto X xt1092. At first glance, there`s another adb and fastboot based programs, but I`ll give it a try again.

I don't know what to suggest other than trying your luck with a non EU rom? Can't promise that'll work though.
I have a Moto G 2014 LTE XT1079 (Asian Model-Bought in India).
I do not have any OS installed.
I have unlocked the bootloader as on Fastboot screen it shows as Unlocked.
So i have downloaded the Stock Rom for Asian Model XT1079 which is required.
Whenever I try to flash it through Fastboot,
it gives me an error in 'fastboot flash partition gpt.bin' and also 'flashboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1'
The error given is (bootloader) Preflash Validation and just below that FLASH (remote failure).
I have been working on this for a period of 13 hours straight and have lost all hopes. It would really help if anyone can help in this. I have attached a photo of the files in the Firmware Folder.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP
