Bricked/Erased OS (Moto X 2013) - Moto X Q&A

on my moto x i was attempting to root it but it was very hard as the bootloader was locked because i have the at&t version of it. so i found a root that would not need the bootloader to be unlocked. and after the attempted root it would sit on the motorola screen for a very long time and then show up with the little android guy saying no command. so i pressed power and volume up and reset the phone and the same thing happend. i thought i had bricked the phone and looked that up, after that the same thing would happen but he android guy would appear for a split second and the screen would go black for 5-10 sec and it would come back for a split second, so now i cant get into the recovery page. after that i thought i had broke/deleted the os and i tried flashing the stock os (kitkat 4.4.4) to the device and during the flash when ever something was flashed to the system an error would pop up on the phone saying downgrade security version update gpt_main version failed preflash validation failed for gpt. the moto x's bootloader was never unlocked and was not verified to be rooted. all i can think is that some of the os is corrupt or deleted and i cant find a way to just wipe the phone and reinstall it without that error appearing. btw i am very! new to this so please give details for a person that dosent exactly know what there doing. (moto x at&t xt1058, possibly rooted but unusable) idk if this matters but at the top of the bootloader it says ap fastboot flash mode (5)

If I Can Just get It To Work I Will Never Try To Root Again. xD Unless I Have An Extra Phone.
Dosent Work Same Error - downgrade security version update gpt_main version failed preflash validation failed
Hay What If I Tried Unlocking The Bootloader? And Is That Even Possible Because Then Hopefully That Would Fix The Error Because It is When Ever I Am Writing To The System Or Really Any Partition Other Than Like The Boot Animation.

I think I bricked an X...

My fiance has a VZW Moto X, 16GB. Since mine was a DE, it was simple to get it rooted and whatnot.
So, I tried the guide that was posted to downgrade to the 4.2.2 camera update, got all of the fastboot stuff done successfully and went to reboot it.
NOW... the damn thing won't even turn on. Not even when I plug it into the charger. F*ck.
So... what do I need to do to get this think back up and running? I really don't want to owe her $300 for whatever happened.

If you are within the 14 day return period, return it.
Otherwise post on the Slap My Moto thread and ask for help.

I got it. The whole "QHSUSB_DLOAD" thing was the issue. Somehow I bricked it while flashing and rebooting.
Went through the steps, now it's alive. However, it won't boot. It'll go into fastboot, but not the OS. So now I have to figure out how to flash the correct stuff.
Alright so I f*cked up BIG TIME.
Now I'm getting the CID error, it won't let me flash anything now.
Any help would be awesome... now I'm probably going to owe her $300.
I thought it wasn't possible to downgrade if you had a locked bootloader...

I'm simply following the steps listed in the various tutorials for rooting 4.4...
All I care about now is getting 4.4 back up and running, but I'm not sure if that's possible anymore.
You might want to check this thread:

Already did, that gets me back into fastboot, but the phone is no longer able to flash the OS from there. So basically, I'm stuck.
And I just found out that it is two days past the 14-day return period. Fantastic.

Are you flashing your carriers sbf firmware? It also needs to be the exact same version that was originally installed ie 4.4
How did you flash it, rsdlite or fastboot? You should be using mfastboot if you manually flashed the firmware, did you get any errors during flashing ?

I am no expert, but this sounds like whatever you are trying to flash may be corrupted. And maybe mfastboot is corrupted, too.
Redownload everything, check the MD5SUMs and try again.
If the CID partition is messed up or it didn't validate anymore then you're done. You will not be able to flash anything to the phone.
Sell the screen as replacement part on eBay. You'll make more money on the parts of you take it apart than selling it as a whole.

[Q] Fastboot Moto x AT&T, 4.4.2?

Hi, is been over a week from the ATT 4.4.2 release and i wanted just to ask if someone is working at the full firmware because i really need to flash that after i bad flash an european version without thinking that i had the bootloader locked and an AT&T phone, help! 10 days without and andorid phone!
ATT just started pushing the OTA... it could be a few weeks until we see a full SBF available. Until then, with a locked bootloader there is nothing you can do, because you can't flash files not signed by motorola.
I'm sure as soon as its available it will be posted here -> http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
hem, why the firmware isn't out? someone is working at it? i really need the upload because my phone always boot on fastboot for a bad flash, please

Its not out because Moto doesn't release it... we rely on people to gain access and leak the files.. So there is no set time table for them being available.
I'm sure the people who maintain that site are continually trying to grab the latest SBF files. So as soon as they get access to it, it will be posted.

They will likely try and do warranty. But if you flashed with wrong rom, they may not cover it as "under warranty"
Btw, you never really said what rom you tried flashing, and exactly what issues you are having now.

Yeah, once you get 4.4.2 on there you do NOT want to downgrade.
At this point, you can try reading -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/tut-resurrecting-bricked-moto-x-corrupt-t2629057 but post #120 implies you need the ATT 4.4.2 SBF to really fix it.

Its an acronym. I'm not sure what each of the letters stand for exactly...
Basically an SBF file is a completely stock system image. You flash it through the RSDlite tool. It will completely revert your phone back to stock. FXZ was also used at one point when referring to such an image.
For the X, the SBF is actually a packed zip file which contains all the parts, and an XML file which tells RSDLite what to flash, in what order, and some stuff. You could also unzip it and use mFastboot to flash the individual parts instead of using RSDLite.

to fix it yourself, you need to wait. Or you could do more harm than good.
A moto service center may fix it or send you a refurbished phone. And if they do, they might not cover it under warranty since you have a non-developer edition that you tried to flash the wrong rom too which put you in this situation. i.e. the warranty terms cover defects in materials and workmanship, not drops, getting wet, or other damage from improper operation or use. (flashing the rom for another model or carrier would be considered improper operation or use)... So it might cost $$$
If this is your only phone, and you need it working now, then you have no choice but to call Moto (if Moto Maker) or ATT (if retail non-customized) to see about "warranty" and see what happens. Otherwise use another phone temporarily and just wait for the ATT 4.4.2 SBF to leak, as you should be able to fix your phone by flashing it.

[Q] Please help in unbricking Atrix HD MB886

Hi
I have been playing around with my Atrix HD for quite a while now, installing almost all custom roms out there for MB866 (Found Gummy and Carbon to be the best, batakang and holoblur never worked for me).
Restored back to stock using RSD Lite many times (after editing the xml file, no problems)
The bootloader was of course unlocked during "all that".
Now here is the problem. After restoring to stock 4.1.1 (98.4.20.MB886.ATT.en.US) using RSD Lite, I updated to 98.5.38.MB886.ATT.en.US (small 6.2 MB Update recently released).Worked fine till here.
Then I downgraded to ICS and it also worked fine. What made things worse was when I checked for updates via About Phone--> System Updates and it prompted for an Update 98.4.20.MB886.ATT.en.US (the same i used to flash via RSD). But when the download finished, the phone is permanently stuck in fastboot mode with the following message:
----------------------------------------------
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (s)
10.9B(*) (sha-2e68372, 2012-11-17 23:33:08)
eMMC Info: Size 8GB
Device is LOCKED. Status Code:0
Battery OK
Transfer Mode: USB Connected
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
Failed to hab check for gpt_backup: 0x35
failed to load GPT
CID Read Failure
Invalid CID Status 0x69
No SP Partition found
Fastboot Reason: Invalid GPT
----------------------------------------------
You can see the phone is locked and RSD Lite doesent work at all giving "phone returmed fail" or " invalid partition error (battery is charged atleast 70%).
Any help in restoring the phone to "something" will be highly appreciated.
One of the problem is that i cannot find stock files for the latest 98.5.38.MB886.ATT.en.US update anywhere
Secondly is there any way to unlock Bootloader in fastboot?

"fastboot oem fb_mode_clear" should get it to stop booting into fastboot mode
The problem is the gpt partition is security locked and one of the fastboot commands thrown is to lock the phone into fastboot mode for every boot until the flashes are done. The command above is the one used to revert the first one (fastboot oem fb_mode_set if you're curious). Your bootloader isn't, or shouldn't I should say, locked again. The RAZR HD does the same thing if you directly flash a fastboot without removing the bad partitions and commands for unlocked phones flashing non-stock fastboots. The bad ones are the gpt partition and the oem fb* commands....there are a lot of guides that explain this and Mythtools (in AHD Developer forums) will do it all for you.

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear doesnt work, i tried it before as well, mythtools also cannt help as device status is locked and if rsd cannt flash it i believe myth also cannt.and the reason i say its locked is because it does not respond to any oem command.
it probably got locked after the ota which failed
if i could find fxz for 98.5.38.MB886.ATT.en.US, it may be restored otherwise is there any way around to unlock bootloder from fastboot??
these are the only two options i can think of amoungst which later is has the least probability.......

There isn't an fxz for that update yet. The one I would be able to make wouldn't include the correct gpt partition because I've flashed the Nextel fxz and none of the other gpt partitions from our stock fxz's will flash on my phone (there's a security lock on that partition). Though I know that between two or three of us here on xda, an fxz could be made with all the correct partitions from the update.
If you're positive that you were unlocked then just flash the Bell or Nextel 4.1.2 fxz's. They're not vulnerable to the heartbleed exploit which is the main reason that AT&T released the 98.5 update to begin with.
Have you tried "fastboot continue"? You might get lucky and the phone will at least boot up. And tried booting to recovery? Boot menu?
You can only unlock the bootloader from a rooted, running phone with ADB enabled. Can't do it in recovery or fastboot mode (unless you have a developer edition).

IIRC, the Nextel (Mex Retail) is the highest version we have unless the new AT&T one supersedes it.
I've only seen this issue one other time over at the RAZR HD forums. With the latest KK OTA they had, his failed and the phone booted to a similar screen you have. Nothing has worked for that guy yet that I'm aware of (haven't checked in about a week now).
Have you tried manually flashing an fxz, not with RSD or Myth (though Myth does flash manually via a script but it skips the gpt partition, IIRC). I'd start with the ATT fxz and if it fails manually then I'd flash the Nextel one...after that I'm out of ideas.

I've only seen this issue one other time over at the RAZR HD forums. With the latest KK OTA they had, his failed and the phone booted to a similar screen you have. Nothing has worked for that guy yet that I'm aware of (haven't checked in about a week now).
Have you tried manually flashing an fxz, not with RSD or Myth (though Myth does flash manually via a script but it skips the gpt partition, IIRC). I'd start with the ATT fxz and if it fails manually then I'd flash the Nextel one...after that I'm out of ideas.

Came here after trying all that
Tried manually flashing but the phone returns FAIL on EVERY command, same with myth tools it executes but nothing really happen in the phone, dont know what went so wrong with the OTA
i am just confused if i should let it be or keep trying until i find a solution
COuld battery charge level be the problem, when it all started it was more than 70 percent and i didnt keep it on for long. it says battery ok but dont know whats the exact battery level as fastboot oem battery-status or voltage level are also restricted
Well, it seems that skeevydude told you all I want to say
Solved: Using Nextel (Mex Retail)
Thanks all for your replies
The device is alive now after restoring to Mexican Retail using RSD (editing the xml file and deleting ONLY the two lines having getvar)
Myth Tools never worked, RSD DID!
BTW the mexican retail is much much better than the ATT version because:
It gets rid of the ATT bloatware
SPecially the att address book
Hotspot is working out of the box
its speedier
android version is upgraded (4.1.2 instead of 4.1.1)
provides an option of manually switching to 2g/3g
and much more
thanks skeevydude, nextel was the last option remaining anyway...........and it automatically fixed the gpr issue

Isn't it already stated somewhere that if you are going to downgrade or change versions, you need to delete those lines anyways?

Yes it is, but thats only for upgrade, if downgrading the gpt line also need to be deleted, as i was not downgrading, only those two were required to be deleted which need to be specifically mentioned to avoid confusion

It is worth a shot for me too!
I have RSDLite and attempted to flash. It gives me error about unknown <getvar>. Deleted those line(s) according to another post I found.
Then everything passes but I am stuck on the Fastboot Flash Mode?
God I will be happy when uncle same gets through with my son so he can help is ole man, lol.
---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------
PROGRESS! I recalled skeevydude saying to stay alway from front USB ports and moved to back one and I now also have the Mex Retail version working. What a relief.
Now the bearing question is should I move on to another version like carbon or holoblur?
If ok to stay with this version, meaning will NOT get busted out by AT&T by using hotspot?
What do you recommend skeevydude?
Thank you so so so much.

[Q] Locked/Unrooted Phone Decided to Brick Itself

I'm not entirely sure how to troubleshoot this problem, but here goes...
I was charging my phone and it just attempted to reboot itself. I saw it in the corner of my eye and figured "oh well, let it finish". It never finished, and it seems it won't get past the boot screen.
I entered Fastboot mode. Device is still locked. It also states that the charger is connected, regardless of whether it is or isn't. Additionally, I cannot access Recovery or Factory, instead receiving the following error:
No valid PIV block in SP for system
piv validation failed (system)
Boot up failed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Anyone know what's going on here? Did my phone really just brick itself?
Edit: I apologize if my first post goes against any of the rules here. I've searched for a similar thread, but mostly found cases in which people failed to root and are receiving this message. I have some minor experience with rooting a Motorola Droid, Verizon Droid Incredible 2 and a Nexus 10. I was hoping to do the same with this phone, but it came with 4.4.2 already installed.
Don't take my word for it, but if you Google no valid piv moto x....it doesn't look good.
Then again if you read through some of the stuff you find, even other phones with issue....perhaps you'll stumble on a fix.
Last moto x thread I read with that error was solved by a replacement unfortunately.
Hope you find a fix, or can send it in. Your warranty should be in tact if its locked and unrooted.
As kj mentioned, seek a replacement under warranty. If you are really looking to fix yourself. Unlock the bootloader and flash the latest stock ROM via fastboot.
I'd only try that if you can't get a warranty replacement cause unlocking the boot loader will kill your warranty unless you have a Dev edition

He doesn't need to unlock his bootloader to try to fastboot flash the lastest stock rom...
The Stock rom will flash just fine even locked because it's signed with release keys.
Try it!

Thanks! I was hesitant to flash anything on this phone because I read people who had 4.4.2 were at risk of bricking their phones... but now that you've said it, it feels so obvious. I'll give this a try. Is there a standard go-to place for the stock ROM?

You can find the sbf files (stock rom) here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
If you were on 4.4.2 before you bricked MAKE SURE you flash the 4.4.2 rom, and not a previous version.
Also remember that aside from a BL unlock, there will be no way of obtaining ROOT after this.
Download the correct file for your carrier and try to flash with RSD lite. Let us know what happens.
EDIT:
You can find a great guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
Now that guide was made before 4.4.2 so it doesn't warn you not to flash a previous version. You've been warned... If you flash a pre-4.4.2 rom, you'll likely be perma-bricked.
Anyways, try the RSD Lite method. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO STEP 4 - editing the xml file
If for some reason that doesn't work, let us know what carrier you are on and we can help you with manual flashing commands for your specific carrier.
Since you ARE able to get into fastboot mode, I'm hopeful that this may work for you.
And finally, if you have problems with RSD lite, make SURE you have the USB drivers installed, and try another USB port if necessary.
Good Luck.

Hey, thanks for the effort! Unfortunately, it looks like my phone is completely bricked. I tried with RSD Lite, after making sure to edit the XML, and it failed when trying to flash the first file. "Failed flashing process. 2/17 flash parition "gpt.bin" -> Phone returned FAIL."
Figured I'd try with fastboot, and no luck there either.
Code:
(bootloader) Failed to erase partition
(bootloader) Failed to flash partition recovery
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 1.978s
Looks like I'm gonna have to use my warranty. Thanks for taking the time to reply, though!
I didn't have the same issue but I did just RMA my X for another reason and got a brand new 2014 X, was expecting a refurbished phone and was surprised to get a new one. They shipped it next day air that same day which also surprised me.

Usually (not always) when it errors out on gpt.bin, its because you're trying to flash a pre-4.4.2 image.
Hate to ask, but are you absolutely sure you downloaded the 4.4.2 rom?
And when you tried the manual method....you are executing the commands one at a time, right? Which part does it fail on? Flashing recovery? Because I see an error right above it - something about failed to erase....but erase what?
Good luck with your exchange if you must send it back...

100% certain I downloaded the 4.4.2 rom, unfortunately. Flashing manually, it fails from the very first flash attempt. Only setting the oem fb_mode_set goes through without failure. Thanks for your help throughout this whole ordeal, it's very much appreciated

Really dumb question but when flashing... Are you using the command fastboot or mfastboot?
I had all kinds of errors and thought I was bricked too until I used mfastboot. Then everything went perfect. Moto uses their own version of fastboot.exe that's included in the sbf/fxz or whatever they are called now. Even the XML file states fastboot as the command but never worked for me. Just a thought.

[Q] Am I screwed? [SOLVED]

Hi all. I'm an idiot. I updated to the 5.0 rom, and tried to downgrade to 4.4.3. It went well, until my device tried to update to 4.4.4. Now I'm stuck with a bootloader (xt1053 30.B7) that says it's locked, says it can't be unlocked, and says
Code:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
Failed to hab check for gpt_backup:0x35
CID read failure
Invalid CID status 0x69
CustomerID error. Contact dealer: 0xdead
no SP partition found
Please, is there any way to bring my device back to life? I've tried flashing pretty much anything I can get my hands on, but it always fails because the bootloader is locked. I tried unlocking it with the code I got from motorola a while back, but that's not working either. Again, please help if possible.
I'm a jackass. I'm trying the RSD with the newest SBF now.
Hopefully the 4.4.4 will fix you up.

I am not very familiar with how Moto's phone's do their stuff. But, have you tried flashing the stock image for your device? One thing though, if you used the leaked soak test to upgrade your device, your screwed until the official lollipop image for your device comes up.

IF you updated to one of the 5.02 leaks (or soaks as they were called), and got this message when trying to downgrade by flashing an OLDER Moto SBF (like 4.4.4), then you will likely be stuck until a 5.02 SBF leaks.
GPT.BIN doesn't like being downgraded, or attempted to be downgraded.
However, if your bootloader still says 30.B7, I would try flashing the stock Moto Xt1053 4.4.4 SBF using mfastboot by following option 5 at -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-ReturnToStock.html
So the bootloader does say it's 30.b7, but it also says it's locked. And when I try to unlock it, it says fastboot oem unlock disabled. I have tried flashing back to 4.4.4, but I think the updated gpt from 5.0.2 is messing it up.
As a few of us have tried to warn people, and just like the mad rush to flash kit Kat when it came out.... You will likely need to wait for the SBF of 5.0.2 for your device. Not much else you can do at this point.
Sorry for your unfortunate situation.
I managed to get it running again by flashing the gpt of the lollipop files. I'm doing my best to go to the 1053 lollipop build to avert another brick. Thanks all for the help!
And I'm successfully on the XT1053 lollipop build. Let it be known that I'm only on lollipop to avoid incompatibilities due to the new GPT I had to flash. Sorry Motorola. Trust me, I wish I had waited.

I did the same thing with my moto x and now I dont know what to do with it, can you help me?
Does yours say exactly what mine does? If so, flash the gpt.bin from the 5.0.2 zip's root directory, and reflash 4.4.4 completely. Then update using the zip from the other thread.

Can you explain what you did after flashing 4.4.4 with the gpt.bin from 5.0.2. I'm about to do that but am not sure what update in another thread you are referencing.
thanks.
thank you bro, i was really desperate! this must be stickie!
A sticky on how to possibly brick your device with one false move?
