Just got my first Motorola with this phone, but think I borked it by messing with the radio bands. How does one flash these .xml or .sbf files to restore to original stock?

failed flashing process..unknown fastboot comand

I'm grabbing this for my friend, he can't get the update because he needs Wi-Fi and the phone won't connect to our University's Wi-Fi network. This won't break OTA for him though will it?

It's just as same as if you have applied OTA.

what is the update process?

so what exactly is the update procedure?
Here's what my phone is showing me.
system version: 77.1.7.MB886.ATT.en.US
android version: 4.0.3
Will this update change anything with the bootloader or anything like that?

If you got 4.0.3 we need a copy of your OS before you upgrade. 4.0.3 has vulnerabilities that we need to get root. Sorry I don't know the procedure, but I am sure some dev will be more than willing to tell you.

are there any specifics to the vulnerabilities?
anyways, if someone lets me know how make a copy of the OS, i'd be more than willing to do so.

Just saw this and need to let you know not to do any soft of fastboot or updating without backing up your files. The worry is you flash a retail bootloader and possibly cannot go back if you use these.

yeah, that's why i'm holding out... battery life sucks on the 4.0.3. it barely gets me 8-9 hours with moderate use. i've noticed there are huge drops in the battery level every now and then. i guess i'll just deal with it until we get the root thing sorted out.

is there a way to just mount the system.img.ext4? i've tried ext2explore and i've tried to mount it with Linux Reader. thanks

Flash what exactly? I've been trying this for the past hour and rsdlite won't work, moto-fastboot doesn't give any hints. I've tried MR1-22 and FFW-14.

After removing that, the modem lines and the oem_mode_set one... It still fails on the system.img.ext4.
EDIT: Out of thoughts. Stuck with a fastboot loop. Won't even allow me to turn it off.

I installed beats installer and my phone will not reboot. Any Ideas?

tried the same thing, now stuck at the boot animation. I have tried factory reset as well as downloading the firmware and trying to update from the sd card in recovery. No luck. It is now a brick unless someone can help...

[Q] Newly unlocked. How to flash custom recovery?

Ok so I have unlocked my bootloader now with SunShine thanks to jcase. Can anybody link me to the proper thread for installing a custom recovery? Also, I assume that installing a custom recovery means a full data wipe, correct?

This guide has it all....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2603358

best way is:
go on the play store download the app flashify and go through the process it take you. are you rooted?

Done and done. Unlocked and rooted finally! Now to just remove that unlocked bootloader message. I missed my xposed modules!

I actually flashed the boot animations with twrp. I was initially worried that installing twrp would wipe data but it didn't so I went that route since I've used twrp on all my other devices.

Are you talking of the boot animation or the bootlogo (bootlogo is the white boot loader unlocked screen before the animation) any how when I change my boot animation I just place the zip in the system>>>media folder with root explorer.

I changed both. The animation works fine when I flash them through twrp, but the logo (where it used to give the bootloader unlocked warning) is a cyan colored screen with a white box where the logo should have replaced it. I tried to flash it through fastboot and mfastboot both of which were unsuccessful. Not sure what I've done but as you can imagine it's pretty ugly. I can take a picture of it if necessary.

did you make sure you have a .bin file there is a process involved to making one from the image you're using. unless.....are you using a premade one from on here somewhere?

I was using a pre-made. For some reason none of them were working but in a different thread Kid sent me one I could flash games on twrp. Worked like a charm. Is there a thread or list of boot images that work only in twrp?

i think there is a method for flashing in twrp but i think android version 4.4+ changes some formats so im not quite sure. my brother just showed me that you can flash boot images with flashify.

thanks you i have been looking into those bootlogo threads but hadn't come across the second one

Phone showed 5.0.1 update ready but went to twrp

So my phone is rooted with unlocked bootloader running faux kernel. I just received the ota update and clicked the button for restart and install. When I did that it brought me to my main option list in twrp. I didn't know what to do so I hit reboot system. It rebooted but nothing showed updating when I did that. Showing I'm still on 5.0.0.
What did I need to do? How do I still update now?

You cannot accept ota if you're modified.
You'll have to flash a ROM.zip or fastboot flash system.and boot image.from the factory images

See that's what I thought but was confused that I got the ota. I'm having a problem finding the rom.zip. Only finding images and I don't want that. Do you happen to have a link?

If you download the image from google there is a zip drive with the files you are looking for inside of them. You can fastboot them individually.

Or you could just flash one of the many roms on here that are using the newer 5.0.2

That's the thing, I was trying to keep it relatively stock for a while. I don't see any reliable roms out there yet.

Give Sinless rom a try. There is a thread on here for it. It is based off of the office 5.0.1 image and not aosp. Great speed and features and decrypted

^^ thats stock rooted, that you can flash thru TWRP. I don't personally use it because I rooted and modified my own.

Should help

[Q] No OS on phone

So, like an absolute idiot I wiped /system without a proper ROM zip on my device and I'm stuck with no OS on my device. I asked for Drive access to the KK factory image from Motorola, am I heading in the correct path for success? Does someone already have the KK image that they could provide for me? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Yeah your on the right path I did the same thing once

Once you get the factory image, you'll use fastboot to flash the files with the instructions Moto provides. You'll be fine.

Do u still have a custom recovery installed? You can put the to custom ROM zip on the flash drive or SD card and plug in an otg cable to the phone and you should be able to flash the ROM from there. Or you can do adb sideload from the recovery

Did something very similar to this. Used SolarTrans' guide as Motorola never sent me the factory image. Installed the OTA from the phone itself and then flashed the 5.1 OTA and I'm good to go. You guys are the kind who keep these forums great!

I have the same issue but my bootloader is locked and when I try to unlock it i get error "'Enable OEM Unlock' in developer options"

This is exactly what I did to fix the exact same issue. Essentially soft bricked my phone 17 hours after receiving it from Motorola [emoji27] but this got me back on my feet and I've been running lollipop on a rooted XT1095 with no issues for 6 months [emoji106]

Looking for stock recovery to flash OTA

I need the stock recovery image (from 23.16.3.victara_retca.retca.en.CA) so I can flash the 6.0 update since it won't work with TWRP.
Any help? Google isn't providing me with much.

Does it have to be from the Canadian variant (not sure if the recovery images are different between variants)?
Tried looking here for the correct zip, which should contain the recovery image?

I have no clue. I doubt it would have to be the retCA version. I'm sure everything besides radio and system will be the same.

This is from the latest RETCA XT1097 5.1 firmware:

Worked perfectly.
My process
- Flash stock 5.1 using fastboot (Steps can be found on Motorola's site or somewhere on XDA)
- Install Marshmallow OTA
- Flash cracked boot.img for Marshmallow. This step is needed in order for TWRP to stick and for you to root without getting stuck on the warning screen. (I'll find the link for you if you can't. It's somewhere on XDA.)
- Flash TWRP
- Create backup so I don't have to go through this process next time haha

Awesome! Thanks for the tip. I got as far as the 6.0 OTA (RETCA), and am now trying to get root back again. Where did you find the cracked boot.img?

Something odd has happened since upgrading to 6.0.
'adb devices' still sees my phone, but 'fastboot devices' no longer sees anything, and making a desktop back-up with adb now creates a file containing 0 bytes.
Everything else seems fine. Are there some new permissions I need to give before this will work?
Thanks again.
Edit: I managed to get fastboot working, however now I've run into a new problem.
To confirm, when you say flash the cracked boot.img for Marshmallow, I should execute 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' for the cracked boot.img?
I'm getting the error: mismatched partition size (boot)
I can still enter TWRP with fastboot, but it's not permanent without the cracked boot.img
Am I missing a step?
Edit #2: Finally got TWRP to stick another way and have root now. Thanks for everything!
