Hey guys!
After updating my rooted phone through OTA, it stucked in bootloader screen and every fastboot command I execute results in: FAILED (remote failure)
I tried everything I found and nothing solves the problem.
Please, someone help me!
C:\Fastboot+ADB>fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
sending 'partition' (32 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.281s]
writing 'partition'...
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 1.172s
Phone status:
Device is LOCKED (It was unlocked early)
Screen message:
downgrade security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
Did you downgrade your android system any time after 4.2.2?
It sounds like you've downgraded and now took an ota. It's written all over this section of xda that doing that on a Moto X is a guaranteed brick.
If this is the case, you'll want to look for the Resurrect your moto X thread in the general section.
Good luck!

What Model X, what version does your bootloader say (2nd line of the FastbootAP/Bootloader screen), and what ROM are you trying to flash?
As suggested, please also be sure you are using Moto's fastboot, rather than stock fastboot from the Android SDK.
How did your bootloader get relocked? The OTA didn't do it so I'm guessing you relocked it for some reason.
Hi, thank you all for your attention, but I solved the problem... I found a Verison Rom with the files I needed \o/.
I'm at work right now, but in home I'll post the solution to help who needs to.
Sorry, my english is awful.
Again, thank you!

I've seen that happen a few times when some have tried to downgrade.
My phone bricked when I tried to do an OTA update, after downgraded to 4.2.2. When the phone rebooted to compete the upgrade, it stuck on bootloader screen.
I downloaded this Verizon rom in link: h t t p : // sbf.droid - developers . org / download . php ? device = 0&file =9 40 (remove spaces)
and flashed its bootloader. After that, the phone was receiving commands. I restarted and it booted normally.
To solve the problem download this rom and execute: fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
I hope it help someone!

I would suggest something slightly different.
I would say.. check the bootloader on your phone, and download the corresponding ROM for your model phone.
Bootloader version = rom version
30.70 = original 4.2.2
30.71 = 4.2.2 OTA with camera update
30.B2 = 4.4
30.B4 = 4.4.2
30.B7 = 4.4.4
Just some model examples...
XT1060 = Verizon Wireless USA
XT1058 = ATT in the USA, Rogers Canada
XT1056 = Sprint in the USA
XT1053 = GSM Dev Edition, as well as the "Unlocked ships with xxx Sim" from Moto's web site (like T-Mobile, Net10, and others).
XT1052 = European, and some Asia.
So if your bootloader is 30.B4 and you have a GSM Unlocked (with T-Mobile SIM), then download and flash the 4.4.2 XT1053 rom. If the bootloader is 30.B7, and you have a Sprint X, download/flash the 4.4.4 Sprint XT1056 rom
And I would flash the entire SBF, not just parts because when GPT.Bin and Motoboot.img are mismatched from the rom on the phone, you can/will brick taking an OTA.
You can get the roms from -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/info-tip-web-sites-official-leaked-roms-t2923347
In other words, suggesting to flash the Verizon 4.4.4 rom like you are, might not work if you have a LOCKED bootloader and don't have a Verizon XT1060. Flashing the Verizon XT1060 GPT.BIN onto a European XT1052 with unlocked bootloader could cause other issues too.
Finally, flashing the GPT.BIN from a 4.4.4 ROM onto a phone that has the bootloader from 4.4.2 for example, will also cause issues.

30.B4 = 4.4.2
30.B5 = 4.4.3
30.B6 = 4.4.4
30.B7 = 5.0
this was misleading my unbricking development (even has set me at a good path at first) xD i saw this at a chinese site, which i did not understand at all, but the following " 4.4.4 = 30.B6" so i could guess the next version has to be lollipop and i had to get GPT.bin from there so the partitions in my phone could restore, which they did, so my hard brick phone, now is unbricked, until the next time i flash something without think about consequences :3

Not sure where that list came from, but for every variant of the 2013 X I've seen, 30.B7 is the bootloader when 4.4.4. is the newest rom that was flashed on the phone.
After applying the 5.02 leaks for Brazil XT1058, and "Retail" XT1053 the bootloader was 30.BC.
Now, if you are saying that when attempting to unbrick its better to flash one version higher than the bootloader on your phone, that good as well. You have to flash equal or newer than what was on your phone when attempting to unbrick.
yeah probably
i'm probably wrong and i don't want to mislead anybody, so i'll say, that was my personal experience, you guys can google the c*ap out of it like i did (15 tabs+/- per browser)
Please help
I bought a unlocked pure edition moto x directly from Motorola. Powered on this past Tuesday. Didn't install sim card yet. Notified me Wednesday there was a update. I clicked OK. Went to work
come home and the phone was stuck on the M screen. Got it to the boot loader clicked recovery. Had the android guy laying down with the exclamation point. Wiped cache. That didn't work. Done a factory reset that didn't work. On the boot loader screen where the options are available it says device is locked. And software version it says modified. I never modified it. So now I have to return for a refund. But how would this of happened? And,what does it mean by modified? Called Motorola and I done everything they said to. do. I never down graded the os either.
Moto g2 stuck on boot loader screen while rebooting
hey guys.
so recently i installed an app called "kingroot" which helps enhance performance by rooting. Today my device ran out of battery and when i connected it to a charger, bootloader screen automatically appears and shows: 'boot-up failed'. I have not installed any custom ROM and the device was running stock ROM (6.0).
To be honest, I am not a developer and have no clue about this. all options shown in bootloader lead to a dead end. The battery won't charge and connecting it to my pc wasn't helpful either. All I want to do is run my stock rom, which doesn't seem to be happening.
Device: Moto G 2014 (dual sim)(India)
Need help Urgently.
thanks
moto g 2014 xt1063, 21.11.22.titan_retla.retla.en.01 iusmx, i unclocked bootloader but i can not flash the us version (Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US), appears "aborted" on the screen, i try with other version but still the same error. what can a i do ?
did you do a backup from the 21.11.22.titan_retla.retla.en.01 iusmx? that would be the only option, because ive tried a lot of options including flashing modem.img s, downgrading, relocking bootloader etc. please help if you fix this
first of all, thank you very much XDA for possible answers

Is there any solution?
G is a motorola 2014 xt1063
The problem occurred when updated from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 via OTA
Hi, I just bought a US Cellular Moto X 2013 with 4.2.2. I can't seem to upgrade it over the air or on my PC. Anyway, I like 4.4 and thought I might upgrade to just that, if possible. Any thoughts?
Yes, I've done it with a sprint phone, I think I used fastboot method.
Thanks I'm a newbie at this, could you direct me to instructions on the Factbook method?
Hello. I have a problem. When i updated my moto g 2 gen (xt1068) from 4.4.4 to 5.0 via OTA my phone brick(FULL BRICK, recovery not working, only black screen). I have a unlocked bootloader. You have any ideas how to help me? PC see it as QHSUSB_BULK.
Unfortunately Motorola has not released the files "flash blank" for Moto G (2nd gen) to recover the bootloader.
There is nothing you can do today.
Your mobile is a weight paper.
The service told me that I could throw in pigeons.
no solution yet ?
