Problem guys! Moto xt890 rsd lite - failed

Hello everyone! Need help to unbrick my Moto
My scenario: I got UK model JB 4.1.2 with locked bootloader. I was trying to flash official Brazilian JB and RSD failed ( I know my bad). So got all drivers, RSD Lite 6.1.5 and so far I was trying UK Retail JB, UK Orange, EU Retail all these failed, I've removed 2 lines from xml file mentioned by somebody on xda but no luck, also I've been on Motorola site to unlock bootloader but my device is not supported after verification (weird). I can restart to bootloader screen, any other option like "factory" or "recovery" gives me a red moto logo only.
Please see pictures for more details, any suggestions?

Solved! I've used mfastboot commands to erase cache and user data and I'm back to fresh UK retail JB

i think it failed because you need unlocked bootloader for flash official Brazilian JB rom in a UK phone
if you have a UK phone, you need unlocked bootloader for Brazil rom ( can be OTA to kitkat)
if you have a Latin American you don't need unlocked bootloader, can be a locked bootloader
the ROM and the phone need be the same region if the bootloader are locked.

That's right ManoBros, it was good lesson for me with a little bit of panic and happy end. I'm big fan of Android smartphones and changing my phones very often but always back to RAZR I, in this case I will wait for official UK kitkat.

[Q] XT1052 O2-DE switch to XT1052 RETAIL-GB?

Hi Guys
Quite a newbie here.
Wanted to know if I can switch from my current being XT1052_O2-DE_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26 to XT1052_RETAIL-GB_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26 ?
Reason being is I'm thinking the retail will receive the very soon over the air update to lollipop faster and I'm not in Germany at all. In South Africa and over to England a lot.
Everything works so theres no issue. The O2-DE is my current rom loaded with the stock bootloader unlocked and TWRP 2.8.3.0 recovery.
I was planning to unzip the O2-DE and mfastboot flash the stock recovery back to receive OTAs again, but the I saw the RETAIL-GB and wondered if I can, while my stock rom is newly flashed, switch.
Saw the two roms on file factory (can't post URLs)
P.S. I THINK my current rom is the O2-DE one because Elixir tells me "Id: KXA21.12-L1.26" and "Product: ghost_o2de" and obviously "Version: 4.4.4"
Thanks and appreciation in advance.

Just checked and Elixir also says "Version incremental: 18"

How do I know what stock room I need to install to get the 5.1 OTA?

A couple of months ago, I bought this smartphone unlocked from Amazon USA (I'm from Argentina). After getting it, I updated it up to 4.4.4. Now, I'm on 5.1 after following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/how-to-install-5-1-lollipop-moto-x-t3089594
Now I want to comeback to the stock rom so I can get the official 5.1 update but I'm not sure what rom should I get. How can I know that?

Normally I would suggest BEFORE you flash away from Stock, on the phone you first go App Drawer -> Settings -> About Phone... Make note of what is listed under System Version, Android Version, and build number. Then visit one (or all) of the sites until that host the leaked SBF files until you find the SBF that matches and down load the file to your PC for use later.. The file name will usually contain parts or all of that info listed under settings, and possibly the carrier name, or acronym for the carrier name (Verizon might be VZW, Rogers Canada might be RCI, etc).
But seeing as you are no longer using your stock ROM, you need to provide us with some details...
1. Who is your carrier?
2. Was the phone you purchased from Amazon branded for your carrier, or was it "Unlocked"?
3. Is there any model info imprinted into the lower portion of the back case (in very fine print)?

1 & 2. My carrier is Claro Argentina but I bought the phone unlocked in Amazon, no branded.
3. It says XT1050. I guess that's the model. I tried to find a 4.4.4 room for that model but nothing.
Thanks for the answer.

Can you boot the phone to bootloader mode and tell me what you see on the 2nd line?
And I've only seen 4.4.2 leaks for XT1050, and also they were for regional carriers in the USA, so possibly not what you need.

Ok, thanks.
The 2nd line says: 30.B7 (sha-bae5e20, 2014-06-23 18:24:49)

30.B7 is the bootloader for a 4.4.4 ROM.
So you don't want to flash a 4.4.2 rom on there.
At this point, unless you can find a Stock Moto 4.4.4 XT1050 SBF, I would just sit with your phone as is.
I mean, you could try finding any XT1050 4.4.4 SBF and flashing it, but I've only seen one SBF for XT1050, and it was 4.4.2. So you'd risk bricking if you flash it, or if you take an OTA after you flashed it (since gpt/motoboot on your phone will be the wrong version). And even then, I'm not sure if it has any "carrier specific" settings in it.
Maybe You'll get lucky if 5.1 SBF's start leaking, and we'll see an XT1050 SBF.

Ok, thanks for the help. I think it will be better to go for a custom rom like CM.

HELP! I might have bricked the radio

I flashed
TMO_Retail_XT1053_5.1_LPA23.12-15.222.21.15.ghost_row.Retail.en.US
and XT1058_GHOST_RCICA_5.1_LPA23.12-15_cid14_CFC.xml
today, both get no signal and IMEI is "0"
It happened before when I was flashing RETAIL-XT1058_BR_5.1-222.21.7-BR and I fixed it by flashing (NON-HLOS, fsg, motoboot) from ATT_XT1058_4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.26_CFC_1FF.xml
When I tried to do the same thing today, I get the error
downgraded security version
update sbl3 failed
Do anyone know how to fix this?
I use ATT in US.
I am not sure about my phone model. I believe I picked US Celluar Factory Unlocked phone, but it writes Model: xt1053 at back

You should've only flashed what's for your model only. If it says xt1053 in the back of the phone, only I repeat ONLY flash official firmware that is only for your phone. If you flash a different models firmware, then it causes hard brick. Since you flashed 5.1, there is no possible way to downgrade at the moment. And if it was uscc, it would say xt1055. I know because I have one.

No signal after Android 6.0 update

A few details:
First, I'm running 100% stock everything. However, this issue has also happened on Cyanogenmod 13, and both Motorola support and my carrier aren't very helpful, telling me to clear the cache which obviously hasn't worked.
I did an OTA update from Android 5.1 and I get no signal at all now. I have no idea why this is, it only seems to occur on Android 6.0.

What model is your device? Have you tried just flashing the modem files for your device?

Apologies, I should add this as an edit. Model number says Moto X (2nd Generation), System version 24.11.18.victara_tmo.tmo.en.US tkpca. Not sure what else you need, modem files have been reflashed but still no luck Out of ideas.

what is "tkpca" end of system version? Telus ? And this FW is for T Mobile XT1095. I guess your phone is XT1097. Maybe you flashed wrong FW before update . You should flash right FW or you can flash only modem to get signal back

It worked on the 5.1 FW that I flashed though, and doesn't work on any version of 6.0. I flashed the FW provided by Moto on here:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images (Moto X (2nd Gen) Pure Edition: L-5.1-LPE23.32-21.3 TMO)
(And yes I have reflashed the modem)

I had this issue too with the OTA I received on xt1092 EU. I reflashed the modem with 5.1 fw, while keeping everything else on 6.0 fw. Worked for me, might work for you too. Good luck.

I have the same issue, on what I had thought was an EU xt1092. I uploaded the xt 1095 5.1 stock files to it a while ago and rooted and it has been fine. Did Marshmallow original OTA yesterday and it's lost cell signal. Some more investigation shows the imei of the phone to a be a AU variant! Wasn't expecting that. Reflash to xt1095 stock 5.1 bought service back again. Have tried a few different modem files, But I can't get signal with 6.0. Any ideas? Or any magic modem files . I also can't sideload the EU 6.0 OTA, it fails with signature problems.

I'm experiencing the same problem. I received the OTA a few days before Christmas, and now I'm still without signal. Just tried flashing Android 5.0 modem partition (from Motorola), but it didn't work.
My phone is the XT1097, but everywhere I searched said that the XT1097 and XT1095 were the same phone. I'll try flashing the modem partition from the 5.1 recovery image, I'm just waiting for Motorola to give me access to it.
EDIT: and yes, I flashed 5.1 from Motorola and it worked like a charm. Then OTA came and it messed up my phone's signal.

I have 5.1 modem files from moto for the xt 1095 and they haven't worked for me .
StillBrilliant, did you have the 1092 modem files or the 1095 ones? If you have 1092 is there any chance you can post them.

Just flashed the 5.1 image modem, and it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

You need the xt1092 modem. However there is more than one xt1092. Do you have reteu, retes, or retde?

My XT1097 is from Brazil, no carrier, bought it directly from Motorola's site. The weird thing I've found is that the update version has retbr in its name.
EDIT: fixed it. Found a thread that had the retail images for XT1097. Downloaded the Brazil version and flashed the modem. It works now.

I thought mine was a reteu, but not so sure now.... Imei listed it as an Australian phone! (I bought it from someone who reviews tech) I am in the UK, but now not so sure which modems I need!

In fastboot run:
fastboot getvar all
It should tell you what the phone truly is.

Ok, here is the full 6.0 for reteu:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/6q0pj4hr2sh5/VICTARA_RETEU_XT1092_6.0_MPE24.49-18_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
Use the commands in fastboot:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
That should get you back on the correct modem for your phone. Or if you want just flash everything in this zip to be 100% stock 6.0 for the reteu model.

Thank you, I think I might flash the whole thing back to stock with that and start again.

As a bit of a newb here, the fastboot system system.img command isn't working for this chunked image. What is the system image command for sparse, or the quickest way to rechunk them together. I've been searching but I have come up with about 15 different methods!
By the way, flashing the modem files from that image worked. Thank you but I would still like to go back to stock.

Same issue signal drop after upgrading to 6
i am having the same issue after upgrade to 6. Signal drops a lot. Works fine when connected to 3g or 4g networks, but drops to 2g networks. What could be the reason.
