Hello guys,
When I tried to update my Moto X for AT & T to RETAIL BR "VICTARA_RETBR_XT1097_5.1_LPE23.32-14.2_cid12_CFC.xml" version, now only comes into fastboot boot and says "Bad check failed for boot, downgraded version for boot, failed to validate boot image ".
Then I thought that would solve flashing with "VICTARA_ATT_XT1097_5.1_LPE23.32-21.2_cid1_CFC.xml" and I found this legend now, "downgraded version for primary_gdt"
Any idea how to fix it?
Thank you in Advance.

Sorry but there is no solution to that error. You upgraded your bootloader and partition table to the ones from 6.0 and it is impossible to downgrade those. Do not under any circumstances take an OTA or it could cause a hard brick which is impossible for us to fix.
As far as getting your phone working, flash that firmware file you have. When you get to the errors about downgraded version, just ignore them and continue. You will need to erase cache and data to get back to 5.1. So make sure that you do:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
If all goes well your phone should be on 5.1 and working. But as I said before, taking an OTA now would most likely cause a permanent hard brick.

Which firmware did you have until the flash? you need to download the last firmware with the Stagefright patch and re-flash it.

You need to re flash it with this firmware, is the last one with the Stagefright Patch: http://www.filefactory.com/file/705qta2o0wrt/VICTARA_ATT_XT1097_5.1_LPE23.32-21.9_cid1_CFC.xml.zip
Before the flash, power up you phone and put this command: fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Then, turn it off amd be sure to power up your phone in FASTBOOT mode pressing the Power Button and Volume Down at the same time, when the phone boots, connenct it to the PC and flash it with RSD Lite like you did with the Brazilian firmware.
I hope it works! :good:

Do you speak spanish ?
Yes you can! I have the same Moto X and i did it that way.
It does not matter if you have the bootloader lock, to flash with RSD you don't need to unlock the bootloader.
You actually try to flash the phone with the lastest firmware ?

You try with this firmware: VICTARA ATT XT1097 5 1 LPE23 32-21 9 cid1 CFC ????
Exactly, because you need the latest firmware for your phone. When you try to flash the Brazil Firmware, you already have the latest firmware, and now the flash fail because you need a new one...
A days ago, I receive a new update, you need to wait for the new firmware with this last update, and then try to flash it, be patient

As the log says, u are downgrading the gpt partition and that may never be done. (atleast till someone founds out how). If u are on JB, use a JB firmware. Likewise with ICS, use ICS. If u are on KK, there is no RSD flashable firmware yet. U need to clean format your cache or even the data partition in the recovery. If u still want to go back from KK to JB. Use the JB to ICS guide (downgrade).

Hello everyone,
Forgive me for my bad english. I have the same problem with my Razr i. But i have updated to Kitkat through OTA update. I have tried flashing with RSD lite but no luck. I couldn't find a Kitkat firmware. What should I do now? Thank you all.
Thought I'd put an update on here as I was trying to fix my Dad's Razr i (for about the 4th time.....) and had this issue with the gpt downgrade error.
Eventually thought I'd try a custom rom so went through the bootloader unlock process via the Motorola website and after that completed RSD then let me flash the stock rom.
Not sure if this is a known "fix" but might be worth a go with the usual caveat of unlocking your bootloader will obviously void the warranty
On a side note given the issues with this handset and the problems I had with my own Moto G (4G) I've begun to loose faith somewhat in Motorola as both devices exhibited similar emmc related errors as my G eventually died with what appeared to be memory/flash related HW failures.
Hi, I have a Moto G 2nd Gen XT1064 running 4.4.4 KK (21.11.23). I rooted, unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. I'm really confused about how I go about getting the 5.0.2 OTA update my phone says is available. I tried downloading it 3 times and after I clicked to install it the phone powers off and then puts me in a bootloop while still on KK. I wonder why that is? So then I install the backup I made in TWRP and it gets me out of the bootloop.
Anyway, is it still possible to use the phones built-in OTA update service somehow or do I need to flash an OTA update using recovery? I read through maybe a dozen threads here but I couldn't figure it out(and I always thought I was a tech savvy guy ) If anybody can help me in any way I'd be extremely grateful!
TWRP is the problem, not the unlocked bootloader. You need to use stock recovery to install an OTA, not a custom recovery
Download your firmware version, extract the recovery.img and install using fastboot

The same way you flashed TWRP.
Extract the .zip and put the recovery.img wherever you need it to do this:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Thank you so much ThisIsJason, I flashed the recovery.img for my firmware I downloaded off motofirmware.com then I let my phone download the OTA and when I clicked to install this time it worked. Thank you so much cuz I was really frustrated and I just couldn't for the life of me figure out what I needed to do so your suggestion is very much appreciated.
Tharmor, this is what I did:
I checked my phone to see what firmware I had, look in the settings menu, then in "about phone" and I think it'll list your firmware there. Then go to the website ThisIsJason mentioned, and download your phones firmware (mine was 21.85.23 for the XT1064 model). Then what I did was I unzipped the recovery.img file into my fastboot folder, then I put my phone in recovery mode and plugged in the usb cable and started the fastboot program. Then I copy and pasted
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
into the program, hit Enter and it flashed the recovery.img to my phone. Then I unplugged the usb and booted the phone back up normally, I went into settings menu, then "about phone" and then I think at the top of the next menu clicked an option about software updates. So I let the phone download the update and then clicked to install it and viola, it worked a charm.

Hi everybody,
A few days ago, I rooted my Mexican XT1225. I shut it down for a day (my main cellphone is the new Moto X), turn it on again and now it's stuck on fastboot.
I could boot into TWRP (by flashing it temporarily with fastboot on Linux) and then I decided to wipe data and then install the new lollipop zip file. But it failed saying it could not mount /system /data or anything really, I basically have it without format, all partitions say 0MB.
So I tried flashing with fastboot, but it gave me an error when flashing the partition gpt.bin, it didn't give me an error when flashing other files. Still stuck, now I cannot even access the recovery menu, it goes just into fastboot mode and does not show the little recovery menu anymore.
Then I tried flashing with RSD, still same problem. It fails when setting the fb_mode_set and when I delete that line from the xml it fails again on flashing gpt.bin
EDIT: I am attaching a log file of TWRP evidencing this.
Any ideas on how to get back to normal? How can I redo the partition in another way?
Thanks in advance,
Gustavo

After re reading your post I understood what's wrong, you have to flash the lollipop OTA on stock recovery not twrp or rsd lite, once you flash it you can put back twrp

I have the xml.zip file, extracted it and manually flashed partition by partition. Something I have previously done with my 1st gen Moto X, my Razr HD and even my Atrix, if I remember correctlly. Even RSD Lite should work with those files.
Still, I will try to boot with the stock recovery, since right now I cannot access it. I will also seek a way to get the xml.zip file inside the storage, since I cannot even mount it with TWRP (It shows 0mb drive)

Twrp for this device it's not very stable I got that errors too
Just flash mexico firmware then the OTA zip on stock recovery and you will be good to go.
If you can't access recovery press vol- and power with the phone turned off and you'll be able to select recovery
Hi,
I have tried the vol+power and cannot access recovery.
When I try to flash Mexico's firmware (through either RSD or manually in Linux using fastboot), I am unable to flash partition gpt.bin, but I can flash everything else. Yet, in spite of flashing everything else, I cannot get out of the fastboot loop.
I am attaching some photos of what happens. The first one is the only thing that boots, cannot access recovery, cannot boot normally. The second photo is what happens when I press the volume button many times.
So when you select recovery does it power off or just go back to fastboot again?

Hmmm, doesn't look good. The fastboot screen doesn't even load the picture of the green Android. I am thinking the partition table is messed up. I know I saw something similar with the original(2013) Moto X a while back. You may want to do some searching in that forum.

Hola Steve,
Indeed, it looks like the partition table is messed up, I will look for that Moto X thread.
@Jaocagomez I have tried that, but it fails with gpt.bin partition flash and even after flashing everything else (RSD, fastboot or TWRP) it does not work.
After reading quite a lot on the Internet, it seems that my problem happened to some Moto G and Moto X users. Seems to be that I am trying to flash a gpt.bin that is older than the one already in my phone. I will try again when the Mexican Lollipop image is released in xml.zip format.
In the mean time, I will continue to search for solutions.
Hi
I think I have the same issue.
I have XT1225 bought it from Amazon (I asked the company and they said Puerto Rico origin) factory unlocked. had 4.4.4 and tried to upgrade to 5.0.2. Here is what I exactly did:
devices not rooted, locked bootloader
downloaded RSD Lite
downloaded the official 5.0.2 India Firmware
tried to flash it using RSD
got an error in flashing boot from RSD
I tried to do it again and I get the same issue, I tried to flash the Puerto Rico 4.4.4 and it didnt work (it get stuck in partition gpt) and my device is dead. I tried to unlock the bootloader using the code from motorola and it says allow oem unlock from developer menu
tried doing it manually using mfastboot with both 5.0.2 and 4.4.4 and still didnt work.
please let me know if you managed to fox your problem or if anyone can help us get back our devices

All you can try now is go and flash the factory firmware stock (according previous android version 5.0.2 or 6.0)
Factory firmware flashing doesnt require bootloader to be unlocked so u can try this

As I previously said (according to your previous android version means when phone is dead then whatever is the android version (5.0.2 or 6.0) you need to flash the files.)
For eg.
If (your phone is on 5.0.2) then
you need to flash stock 5.0.2 firmware.
elseif (your phone is on 6.0) then
you need to flash stock 6.0 firmware.
endif.
Note: Don't flash wrong files, else it's gonna brick the device.
Don't ever downgrade from latest android version to previous.
Thanks

If (your phone is on 5.0.2) then
you need to flash stock 5.0.2 firmware.
elseif (your phone is on 6.0) then
you need to flash stock 6.0 firmware.
endif.
Note: Don't flash wrong files, else it's gonna brick the device.
Don't ever downgrade from latest android version to previous.
Thanks

Flashing the factory image never damages the device.
So you can try again but with right things right files and carefully.

You can start without lock/unlocking BL.
My phone is bricked, need the complete Fastboot flushable signed 28.2 firmware, Oreo 8.1 May Update for the USA retail model of x4
Mod edit: no trading/payments on XDA please... edited.
I have the OTA. Would you be able to use that?
Why not just flash 28.1 full firmware and just take the ota to 28.2 that it offers immediately?
I thought it was possible to downgrade via the fastboot method with any firmware. Doesn't have to be 28.2 to at the very least get your phone back working.
try flashing OTA. adb sideload it.

my phone is boot loader locked, with OEM locking option set to OFF, and it does not boot into anything. just Fastboot works. I cannot get recovery to work.

Are you not able to flash 28.1?
when I try, it says image validation failed. I NEED 28.2 or higher
see, my boot loader was locked when I tried to flash a different rom. I didn't know I needed to unlock the boot loader I thought that step was optional. now im stuck with a phone that only boots to Fastboot, will ONLY accept SIGNED STOCK 28.2 or higher.
Can try https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=229118 or https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto X4/Stock/XT1900-1/
See if it will accept an earlier version. Couldn't hurt in your situation.
I remember some people helped this file: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76918099&postcount=7
Haven't tried myself but just do it. Nothing to lose
I have successfully unlocked my Project Fi phone (Moto X4) and would be happy to share the firmware which is OPW28.2 on the build number... If anyone can tell me how to obtain (extract) it from the phone?
( Motorola version: OPW28.46-18 )
I am in the same boat

Have you tried using a different computer or USB port?
Have you ever unlocked the bootloader before? If not, you could send it to Motorola for replacement.

Not sure what to tell you from here. Just make sure not to rush any steps due to frustration or impatience.
I was able to return my first Moto X4 on warranty due to playing around with flashing. I'm sticking 100% stock till we get official lineage.

Bad eticate to post about your issue on multiple threads especially when you have your own. I'm sorry, there is no timetable. Could be tomorrow, could be months. This is the risk in flashing, end even worst in our case since Lenovo has not released factory images.
