Soft brick MOTO X XT1052 - Moto X Q&A

I was trying to flash custom rom to my phone but keep on getting "error executing updater binary in zip" . Trying out the options I accidentaly wiped internal storage and with it the recovery. Now i am not having any OS in my phone
I have downloaded couple of rom from Cyanogen for MOTO X (ghost) but each of them give same error ,using twrp 2.8.7.0 as recovery (haven't tried by changing with other because its the only thing left there)
Also tried
flasing custom ROM
but here the problem is "downgraded security version update gpt_main version failed"
Was running on Android 5.1 before this all happened
PLEASE HELP DONT WANT T HARD BRICK MY PHONE

You have to flash stock rom using Rsd lite and u will be good to go

can't find a stock rom asia retail android 5.1
and can't flash 4.4 it shows downgraded security version update gpt_main version

Use the TWRP here (thanks to @rrvvrr) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3171698&d=1424260997
Its 2.8.5.0. it resolves the script error on xt1052 which official verions have.
Here's the XT1052 IMAGE https://mega.nz/#!U9lRFBgD!POchMYI96ZTy16M_PGSZ4aIjo6ktpaHKaJAmp6XBUR4

while flashing the new recovery to my device using cmd is there any risk for hard brick(when I wont be able to open custom recover or bootloader)

I recommend you flash the factory image through RSDLite once and then proceed to flash CM if you want

rsd dosen't recognize device
I just have the firmware of android 4.4 for my device but lastly it was running on 5.1 so i need that and i cant find that for my device
Can you please describe the step by step procedure to do
Thanks

My phone wiped everything and is bricked atm. I'm trying to flash the image you posted here but it fails every time at the partition and system stages. It won't work in RSDLite so I tried doing it in cmd but fails at those two points. Do you know why this might be?
Thanks

I don't really know what happened, did you successfully flashed kdz?
Where did you get it from? Here?: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15
Try to flash one of these (choose correct one for you)
Than you have to install recovery again.
But before that you can try to wipe /system, /data, /cache and then flash CM11 (I know it works without problems)
And I recommend you these Gapps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

well... yes i think I flashed kdz (LGFlashTool ?) I used kdz to recover my phone to original, I know my phone is Korean version and right now I use P88020A-EUR-XXX original firmware installed with kdz
What is CM11? and how i flash it?
so I have to root and unlock bootloader again and use twrp again right?

I think you should try with CWM first, get it: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-p880.img
you can flash it with this app if you are rooted: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
then you can download CM11 from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=p880
and gapps from last mine post
and then boot to recovery, do factory reset and wipe /system, then flash rom and gapps.
Hope it helps
Crash After Flash OTA Vanir 5.0
I had a similar experience. I was installing OTA latest update of Vanir...not realising that it was 5.0...a screen came up telling me that it needed to flash another recovery...not realising why it needed that, I ignored the request to flash. Of course, I then "bricked" the phone. I was able to install the original JB 4.12 (v20c) back onto the phone but now it won't root. I've tried almost every method in this forum to no avail.:
ADB just gives a message "error: closing" when I use the boot.exe method
o4xr method does nothing
all-in-one method also does nothing
ADB does recognise the device. Drivers are installed. Any help is welcome!

Have you tried to flash a recovery using fastboot? You won't need to root (if you are going to use a custom ROM) and/or it will be easier with a custom recovery
Soft brick after last update.
Hello,
I seem to have a similar problem. I updated a few days ago using Vanir updater. There were no warnings re updating the recovery, just a warning regarding losing root. I checked restore root. The phone rebooted to the bootloader logo, then to a black screen. Now, I can access Cyanogen recovery, SW update mode, abd fastboot mode using buttons and the recovery options. ADB can see the phone only in recovery mode, but not in fastboot or SW update mode. CM recovery has no option to mount USB storage, so my PC cannot see the phone, and I cannot side load a new recovery and flash a new ROM.
Is there any way to use ADB if it cannot see your phone in fastboot or SW mode? Perhaps modify the settings.secure string to enable ADB? ADB can see the phone in recovery mode.
Otherwise I will try flashing a stock ROM via KDZ or LG firmware update tool, the re-root and proceed - but rooting was a major ordeal the first time, so I would like to avoid doing that again.
Thanks in advance.

are you able to get into recovery? if so, try wiping everything (cache/dalvik, data, internal storage), then flash the stock images. which instructions are you following?

I was on 6.0 on XT 1095. Please help me flash this stock ROM to get out of bootloop

Hi,
I was on 6.0 on XT1095. Tried to root it. Screwed up by flashing something that didn't work. Now i am stuck on 'warning bootloader unlocked' screen. Previously when I was on 5.1 I restored my phone from bootloop by using official images from Moto and using their instructions. Now there are no 6.0 images. I guess trying to reflash the whole 5.1 ijmages would brick my phone. I tried flashing just the system image of 5.1. It didn't work.
I found this 6.0 stock ROM here on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/rom-xt1095-flashable-stock-rom-t3277874 . How do I flash this?
Please help. I'm on stock recovery. Previously I ran commands like 'fastboot flash system x.img' and so on when phone was in fastboot mode. How to flash this zip now.
Thanks in advance.
A bootloop is simple to get out of. Just press and hold the power and volume down keys to boot into recovery and go from there. If your phone isn't booting past the unlocked bootloader warning splash then you need to elaborate on WTF you flashed. Just saying "something that didn't work" isn't sufficient to make an accurate diagnosis.
To flash that stock ROM you posted a link to above would require you to fastboot flash a custom recovery first.
As for restoring a 5.1 image I don't understand why you'd think that would brick your device. You're formatting the entire device by going back to ANY stock image. Just because you are on 6.0 doesn't mean you have to restore a 6.0 stock image (that probably won't be available for some time).

Semi-Bricked Moto XT1052

I don't know if it's soft bricked or hard bricked. Current situation of phone :
Bootloader unlocked
Using TWRP 2.28x version
Cleaned the phone completely - No stock ROM/OS
So here's the problem -
I tried to flash a few custom ROMs and all of them give some error. Since I'm stuck in TWRP recovery only way to send new ROMs to phone is via adb push. I am unable to install any ROM including the Stock Version.
I tried using this method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
But my device is not being detected, I tried 'adb devices' and nothing shows up. Also the RSD method, it doesn't detect my device.
Please help me I'm in real trouble. :crying:

If you can access twrp. Just insert a flashdisk using usb-otg. Put everything you need on the fd and flash everything you need. That should do the job.

1) Turn off phone.
2) Enter bootloader
3) Flash twrp 3.0.2 from the development forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/twrp-touch-recovery-unofficial-t3309449) use the command "fastboot flash recovery *insert recovery name here*"
4) Boot into recovery and enable MTP in the storage devices option.
5) Copy stock rom and disable MTP.
6) Flash stock rom. Profit.
