My bootloader is unlocked already, I deleted HTC Sync, debugging on, usb is in disk mode, etc. but for the life of me I can't get any recoveries to flash. I get the "Remote: not allowed" and if I try again it just gets stuck on sending recovery. It shows up as a fastboot device in cmd. Any suggestions?
Try the tool kit in development.

Are you in bootloader/fastbootusb?

Yes, I am in fastbootusb. The same thing happens on the toolkit. I doubt it is any kind of hardware defect, but the device is recognized in fastboot which is why I am SUPER confused. This is the first time I have ever run into an issue with fastboot.

I initially had a bad download and had issues with both ways to flash. Redownloaded and it worked.
Also, with the tool I've had issues with usb switching from storage to media which affected even using adb to push files. Make sure that's not an issue with the push method.

Are you implying the fastboot download was bad or the recovery? I tried three different recoveries now and none worked. I also tried using hassoon2000s method and just get an error saying device not found.
Also, I am using the fastboot file that came directly from HTC so I am really scratching my head right now...

It could be outdated.
Do you have android sdk on your PC?
If so make sure it's up to date.
If not get it HERE

Sorry if I sounded mean or anything I was literally just asking which one you meant lol. I now realize "are you implying" does sound kinda snarky. Anyway, it must have been something with my computer because I did it on another computer and got it to work.
So the thread doesn't go to waste, if anyone is having issues try on another computer.
Okay, now trying to flash the stock recovery to get the phone exchanged for radio issues, I am running into the same problem. I tried both computers now. Hopefully I figure it out soon, had to activate an old blackberry for the time being.
"sending 'recovery' (16472 KB)...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.007s"
I have had the same problem before on a different phone. All you need to do is put it on the sd card and use the boot loader method. The phone will automatically find it and flash it. Then just remove sd card and delete file so it doesn't keep prompting to flash it every time you reboot.

To flash a recovery? Just rename the recovery as a radio file?
Yes. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696652 and all the info you need is there along with directions.
Hi guys, I'll just start things off with saying that I am far from being anywhere near as technologically advanced as the majority of you so I would like your help if possible.
I had wanted to flash back to Stock and unroot my Moto X but for some reason I had gone into TWRP and decided to delete everything. Now every time I try to reboot from TWRP, it'll just say that the phone does not have an OS Installed and therefore if I reboot it, it will just stay on the 'Warning Bootloader Unlocked" screen.
I've read quite a few threads on various forums but I am unable to get my laptop to recognise the device in fastboot. That's my only problem so far as I've downloaded the Motorola Device Manager and all those other things but still cannot get my laptop to show the device for me to put the files into. When I plug it in, I am able to hear the sound and the device recognizes that it's been plugged in but I can't see it on my laptop.
Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys and forgive my ignorance.

You don't put files on the phone and you don't use twrp. Follow the instructions in the return to 100% stock thread.

I've tried following the steps but I was unsure of step 3 where it says to download and install the proper firmware for the device but still unsure on how to install it. RSD Lite won't pick up the device nor will it show up when I type 'adb devices' in CMD. And finally, how do I go about turning on USB debugging when it won't boot up past the bootloader unlock screen?
Appreciate the help

Turn the phone off. Unplug it. Hold down VOL DOWN, and press power. The phone will boot into the bootloader. This is how you flash with rsd lite.
Adb does not work in bootloader, and isn't used for this. Once in bootloader (ap fastboot mode), rsd lite should recognize the device.
Make absolutely sure you do not downgrade to a previous version (you will brick), and make sure you flash the correct firmware for YOUR device/carrier.
You can only flash the same version or higher than what you were on before you erased everything.

Thanks for the help! Unfortunately RSD Lite doesn't recognise the device in bootloader. Am I supposed to put the files into a certain place for things to start working properly and is it also because I'm using windows 8.1? I've already installed the Motorola Device Manager as well.
Really sorry for all the questions - complete newbie right here

You said you downloaded moto device manager... Did you install it? If so you are one of the unlucky ones and will have to use the manual method with fastboot and mfastboot. Take it slow and follow the instructions. Leave out the config carrier line.
To make sure fastboot is working, type fastboot devices while in bootloader mode.

Oh okay that makes sense. Yeah I had installed but still nothing. Okay, I'll try the manual method, thanks heaps!
I've typed it fastboot devices in CMD and it came up with T017500PDP fastboot. I assume that's good? Haha

Yes perfect.
Run one command at a time - copy/paste them.
Remember to use mfastboot for system.img - regular fastboot will NOT work. Also remember to skip the config carrier command.

You my friend are a legend. Last round (hopefully) of questions though: where the code says to type in fastboot flash .... .gpt.bin and all those other things, am I supposed to put the files somewhere in particular? Because just regularly typing them into CMD comes up with (bootloader) Variable not supported! Then error: cannot open 'gtp.bin' or cannot open 'recovery.img' and so on but on the phone it says getvar partition-type:recovery or boot and so on.
Also the when the instructions say to use mfastboot, CMD says that it is not recognized as an internal or external command. Thanks!

First: yes, you have to put those files in the same folder as you are running the commands from. If your command prompt shows C:\users\jimmy\
Then that is where the files should be! You should have extracted the zip file you downloaded to the same folder you are running the commands from.
Second, you obviously have not download mfastboot.exe (it is linked in the return to stock thread) OR you didn't put it in the same folder as the rest of the files.
The "variable not supported" messages are normal. The error cannot open.... errors are NOT.
I'm attaching mfastboot.exe (it's zipped - extract it to the same folder as everything else) to this post so you don't have to go looking for it.
DON'T move on if the first command doesn't work. Make sure each one gives success before you move on.
Awesome!

You're welcome....but that isn't normal. I suggest doing it again from the beginning. A full SBF to stock re-writes all the partitions and there shouldn't be anything "out of wack". Sounds like something went wrong....OR your device has physical damage?
Anyways, please consider hitting the "THANKS" button under any and all posts that help you. :good:

Hey guys,
I just flashed the my Moto X (unlocked) to stock 4.4.4, booted up, wanted to flash twrp but after that the recovery just didn`t appear.
So flashed stock 4.4.4 again but now every time i try to flash system.img it says "download failed". I am using the mfastboot.exe and I follow this tutorial: http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-ReturnToStock.html (option 5)
Everytime I flash something via mfastboot there is the line "(bootloader) Variable not supported!" written before starting to flash, but it is working anyway, except system.img...
Can somebody give me a hint what I am doing wrong?
I just can enter the bootloader and I´m afraid if it runs out of juice I cannot charge it any more.
Solved, tried it serveral times again and it`s working now!

Unistalled Motorola Software, reinstalled stock Google ADB drivers and tried it again.
"bootloader" message was still there, but everything flashed fine. Tbh I don't think it was a driver problem...

I have a rooted sprint moto x that was running cm 12.1 and I used a toolkit to try and restore it to stock and ended up deleting the os and twrp recovery. I managed to flash the recovery back onto the phone using adb commands, however my PC doesn't recognize my moto as a USB storage device so I am unable to move the rom zip file to the phone. I tried flashing in fastboot and also adb push to push the file to the phone however nothing works..... If anyone could help me I'd greatly appreciate it

When you get into bootloader mode, are you using fastboot or mfastboot to flash system? If your system image is a single file instead of sparse chunks, you need to use mfastboot.

At first I used fastboot to flash the entire zip but it would say download size too large. Then I tried using mfastboot to flash the boot.img separately but that just gives me an error message.

okay it keeps saying remote failure on the command prompt and it says "downgraded security version, update gpt_main version failed, preflash validation failed for gpt" on the bootloader

here's another one with same problem, as cellphone is on read only, right?
My phone's doing the same, the flash isn't writeable. Most write operations appear to work, but no data is actually changed. I've tried wiping from recovery, I've tried formatting, deleting files, dd'ing from /dev/zero etc via adb, I've tried erasing and flashing stock rom from fastboot, but not a single byte changes. Any fix for this or should I attempt to get it replaced?
there is a way to format the EMMC with fastboot ?
