Hi,
I messed up the update to 6.0 by pressing the root button in TWRP after updating... I then tried to downgrade to 5.1 and update again using the captured OTA zip, which probably messed things up further.
Right now I have 6.0 booting (by wiping, installing 5.1 via fastboot, then flashing the OTA zip via TWRP recovery), but no radio access (no wifi networks detected, no SIM detected, etc.)
I think what I need is the modem files for 6.0. In my 5.1 zip, I have NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn, however, flashing them in my phone's current state causes it to stop booting. Does anyone have these for 6.0?
I also found this thread, which is for the Moto G but has 'firmware dumping methods' near the top of the first post which I believe can be used for the Moto X as well. If anyone could try that for the Moto X and provide me with the files, I'd be most grateful.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
In the end I flashed only the NON-HLOS.bin file from the 5.1 zip with:
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
I didn't run the 'erase modemst1', 'erase modemst2' or 'fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn' commands.
My phone booted, and full radio/network capability seems to be restored
Can u please provide the link to download the modem files of xt1092 5.1 modem files??

I converted my AT&T Moto X (XT1058) to the developer edition (XT1053) and I would like to make sure I can get the radios for the AT&T Model to put back on the device. The XT1053 and XT1058 but the AT&T model has a few different frequencies available to take full advantage of the AT&T Network.
I could wait til I get open and download the file and manually flash the radio but was hoping someone has or is able to make flashable zip files that will flash the radio and wipe the radio cache as per the XML mfastboot batch file.
Currently running 4.4.3 (Stock)
and my baseband version is MSM8960PRO_BP_2323.038.123.00R

WARNING: Be very careful. Since you have flashed the XT1053 ROM (which is on 4.4.3), you can NEVER go back to the AT&T ROM until it is updated to 4.4.3 as well. If you do you would (in essence) be DOWNGRADING. This can result in a brick OR having mismatched gpt.bin and/or bootloader.
Here is what you should do: Download the entire 4.4.2 AT&T SBF file from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
Extract the file, and find JUST the following files: fsg.mbn & NON-HLOS.bin
use fastboot to flash these files:
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
then erase your modemst partitions:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
REBOOT!
Now you should have the XT1053 rom, with the AT&T radio.
Good Luck!
BE CAREFUL - you will probably not be able to accept OTAs because you will have mismatched files which probably won't pass the verification. This may not be accurate (you might be able to accept future OTAs anyways, but use caution, nonetheless).

Oh yeah I am not worried about the swap. I was going to apply my updates manually, I couldn't remember if I was running the XT1053 or XT1058 radios so I wanted to get both so I can swap them out. I was going to do the same process you stated when I got home, I was just asking to see if someone could make flashable zips so I can put them on my phone for testing. It would also allow me to flash the stock radio before taking an OTA and then flash back to the AT&T radio afterwards.
Soooo i was a big dumby and i wrote over the modem in order to get the update.
Now i have no signal/service available , or compatible baseband flashed.
Wifi works, everything else is amazing !!
Currently
Android 5.0
Baseband: Unknown <------
System version: 22.11.6.victara_tmo.tmo.en.US tkpca

If any one successfully backs up the telus baseband could you please post it ?!!?
So screwed at the moment
If you can tell me how to do so I would be happy to.

Thanks!!! I tried flashing the FSG but it wants the file as a mbn. I tried changing the extension but it still didnt take it.
Although the modem bin file flashed fine, rebooted but still no service
I think I did extract it with an mbn extension, don't know if it will make a difference but I'll upload shortly.
Let me know if it works.

You need the following commands. Just keep your mbn file.
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
I would love to know if those modem files work for the Telus phone after flashing, as the only thing holding me back is that it currently won't let me back up my own. If it does then lollipop here I come!
Those two files worked! Thanks so much to everyone who helped out in this thread. Successfully running Lollipop on my Telus Moto X now!
Awesome, can you let me know what steps you followed in addition to the steps above?

Hi floepie, does the adb shell and su commands provide temporary root? ie Upon rebooting root will no longer be accessible? I'm looking to back up my modem files before flashing to xt1095 Lollipop.
Also, for anyone else following this thread, I'm a bit confused by the discussion about fsg.bin vs fsg.mbn; are there two different fsg files or is it simply that when pulling fsg.bin you save it as/rename it to have an mbn extension?
---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------
And I'm wondering what impact the different modems even have... Is it possible that I can run the Telus Modem even though my provider is Wind Mobile (a Telus roaming partner)?
And what if I were to hypothetically take this phone (assuming sim-unlocked) and switch to say Bell, Telus, or Rogers; without tampering it'd still have the original Wind Mobile modem so what impact would that have on functionality/operation if I switched to a new service provider?

I'm pretty sure that in order to make an image of your baseband files, you need to be rooted. Root access is granted by SuperSU. As for the extensions on the fsg file, it doesn't matter what you call it. You just have to be consistent when copying it or applying it back to your device. I think someone posted on the forum using mbn and then used bin for applying it, which for obvious reasons wouldn't work.
This might be a dumb question, but do you have to always flash the baseband files or modem files (not sure which is correct) every time there is a new update once you have converted to XT1095
I have a moto x 2014 (XT1097 ) from Wind Mobile and am trying to decide if i should keep it or not.

Take pity on me
Ok, so I unboxed my new phone UK (XT1092), unlocked the bootloader after it updated to Lollipop, and messed up somewhere causing me to have to install stock rom again. After installing the stock rom (4.4.4) I do not have signal and the baseband is unknown as with the OP. I have attemped to follow multiple guided concerning the same fixes but have gotten no where and am now extremely stressed and confused. Previously if I had problems with signal I just reflash a radio but times seem to have changed. The phone now shows as a xt1095 when plugged into pc.
Where I went having messed up:
Where I then went having found I had a xt1092
Update on xt1092 worked! I did this:
1. Downloaded the 4.4.4 system image from xt1905 (first post for download link)
2. Extracted the zip
3. flashed over mfastboot.exe
Code:
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
4. sideloaded the OTA update from first post
5. reboot
6. flashed back the original modem and fsg from xt1902, without erasing modemst1 and modemst2 -> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001608300

Then realising I had no signal I followed this post:
YES!
I finally have Lollipop on my XT1092!!
I followed steff999's guide but encountered several problems with the modem and data connections etc.
I just couldn't figure out why flashing the XT1092 modem files didn't work.
Then I went back to my original firmware and did the procedure again.
But now I did not let it boot after the OTA Update and directly booted into fastboot mode and flashed the modem and fsg files.
Then after reboot I immediately had mobile service. IMEI and Baseband is back again.
I use Linux and it is very easy with Linux.
In a terminal just go to the folder with the files (no matter where they are!!).
After getting Android SDK I did:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot <<-- to install fastboot
$ cd /directory with your files...<<--- choose your folder
$ fastboot flash logo logo.bin
etc
after flashing the files put OTA.zip on phone. Go in recovery mode and apply update.
Then when it reboots directly go in fastboot mode and type:
$ cd /directory with your XT1092 modem files/
$ fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
$ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
$ fastboot reboot
now it boots into lollipop and it should recognize your sim card.
This is how it worked for me with Linux. Should be similar with Windows but I think the files for flashing have to be in fastboot directory then.
I did not use erase modem commands
I hope this will give hope back to people who encountered similar problems with the modem. I was about to give up but decided to give it a last try.

I converted my xt1097 to xt1095, with the tmo 4.4.4 firmware, I boot it but complete no setup, and just copy the OTA from PC to phones internal storage. No adb sideload.
I've had Brazil radios work on my rogers RAZR before. There is a full lollipop BR firmware in the development section. Is might try it.

Any chance you have a copy of the modem files for your moto x 2014 (XT1097 ) on Wind? I flashed the T-Mobile 5.0 xt1095, and don't think I properly backed up my files.

Hi everyone, i have an issue with a XT1079 Dual sim, i unlock bootloader and flash a latam firmware but not for the 1079, was a 1068 Firmware, and the phone works but there is no signal at all, no sim and no wifi, i tried to flash same lollipop version of a 1978 firmware, and the process FAILS in partition gpt, there is a way to flash the modem? or to force flash the stock rom without that error? or just i have to wait to motorola to free a new version of lollipop? Because i really need to fix this.
The Firmware Flashed is: thea_retbr_ds-user 5.0.2 LXB22.99-24.7 5 release-keysM8926_309101.02.03.17R

Thank you in advance.
You have an xt1079 brick now you have learned the hard way that every device is different, sorry for that, your partition got corrupted, gpt file is the partition to restore original partition for your device don't know how to fix it
What i suggest is to try doing it with mfastboot, open your cmd in where you extracted the firmware and type
Fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
If it fails post the output
If you want to just flash the modem file is non-hlos.bin command is
Fastboot flash modem non-hlos.bin

It Says "version downgraded for primary_gpt"
But if is the same version don't have to flash anyway?
And that's why phones shouldn't be sold to just anyone. If you had bothered to read anything before your flashing adventure, you would have probably seen that you have a phone that isn't listed in rhe MOTO 2ND Gen flashing instructions.

Soft bricked when trying to flash stock 5.1 back from CM13. Somehow managed to wipe the entire phone and now all I have access to are fastboot and TWRP recovery. I have no ROM ZIPs to access in TWRP since internal storage was wiped. I tried ADB sideload but says it can't mount /data/. My computer recognises the phone as a fastboot device but not as an ADB device.
Is there any coming back from this?
I've downloaded the retail GB stock image file for XT1052 but I can't flash the partition as I just get error 'update gpt_main version failed' 'preflash validation failed for GPT'
Flash stock via mfastboot.

I've downloaded the RetGB for 5.1 for XT1052 from here: https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto X (1st gen-2013)/Stock/XT1052/
But it seems to be missing a number of key files that are described in option 5 of the link you posted. Am I missing something? I'm also still getting errors each time I try to flash the partition except now CMD is just showing:
"target max-download-size: 768MB error: cannot load 'gpt.bin': no error. Any ideas? Thanks.
My only other thought at this point is to try and flash a ROM in recovery using USB-OTG. Could that work? For example, if I download stock ROM or even the CM 14 I had on previously before everything got wiped and put that on an external drive and flashed in TWRP?

I just moved cmd.exe into my platform tools folder where everything else is and tried again to flash the partition. Instead this time I get:
C:\Android-SDK\platform-tools>mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
target max-download-size: 768MB
sending 'partition' (32 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.335s]
writing 'partition'...
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 1.328s
And then on the phone itself in the fastboot screen it shows:
"downgraded security version. update gpt_main version failed. preflash verification failed for GPT'. I thought this would mean the bootloader I'm trying to flash would represent a downgrade but I checked against the info.txt file in the recovery image zip and it says 30.BE which matches the 30.BE in my fastboot screen...
OK I've now got an OS. Managed to reinstall CM14 using usb-otg. Figured that was the safest bet given it was the last OS installed.
Problem I now have is that I can't get any service (I could previously on CM14 before all this happened). Is it possible that when I managed to completely wipe the phone that I would the relevant modem/radio files?
Thanks
Try downloading stock file from
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images
fastboot method is mentioned in the above link.
Replace fastboot by mfastboot with all its necessary components in place.

That doesn't have my version - xt1052.
Would this be to return my mobile service? I've got back on CM14 but all my IMEI and sim data has wiped so I can't get service. Not sure if I need to use the 5.1 factory image I have and just flash modem files. Seen elsewhere that I could try
Fastboot flash modem NON-hlos.bin
Fastboot erase modemst1
Fastboot erase modemst2
Fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
Would that do the trick do you reckon?
Take a nandroid backup & try doing it!
There is also a 5.1 stock zip Rom & try that too, might be helpful.

Hi,
You'll eventually find your way back to 5.1 or even 4.4.4. I've broken just about every rule while I was doing some dev work on a moto x 2013 and from a beta of cm14, managed to pretty quickly get all the way back to 4.4.4 (which for me, is by far the best for a) battery and b) motion detection and c) everything works).
There was nothing after 5.1 for 2013, so there's no way you couldn't at least go back to 5.1, but there's always one way that works for you better than the rest. If that last thing didn't work, then try "liveroy's" way as in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/guide-faq-how-to-downgrade-5-1-to-4-4-4-t3182118 .. That way was actually based on an xt1052. I doubt if the radio files are going to make much difference heading in that direction, but are worth a shot before doing this.
I followed the first post in there and was un-"bricked" in ~20 minutes or so. Cheers // good luck,

Thanks. Will give that a look as I would like to know how to easily go back to stock in the event of catastrophe - I've been trying to flash back using both fastboot and TWRP but it fails every time due to 'downgrade security' etc. even though I know I'm using the same bootloader as in the stock ROM.
I managed to get my IMEI and service back by flashing
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
I've now got Resurrection Remix on as I thought I'd see if that would fix my service issues (it didn't - so still had to do the steps above). But have managed to learn a lot over the past few days to bring my phone back from death! I'm mainly used to Sony phones so this has been an experience.
