[Q] Help - Moto X Dev Edition - Bootloop

Brain melting and need some help.
Moto X Dev Edition GSM - XT1053
Bootloader Unlocked and Rooted
TWRP installed but no recover image :crying:
I took the OTA 4.4.2 update via OTA and now am stuck in bootloop.
What are my best options to solve this.
I have pictures and videos i am worried about deleting.
thanks in advance for any help

Send it in for Warranty. Really. Or...you have a NAND flasher then just write Zeroes and use the SBF to create a new .bin

Really?
I was hoping i could use the Motorola Factory Image flash
Or worse case use the Android Factory restore but was worried that would delete video
I contacted Moto Help and they advised to do a partition wipe cache and factory data reset

You can re-flash the rom using rsdlite. The stock rom can be downloaded via Motorola.com. If you use rsd with twrp recovery, you do have to make a tiny tweak (i.e. delete getvar line) to the downloaded rom file. This flashing process can also be done via adb or via the motoxtoolkit without the tweak but this method requires all files to be flashed one at a time which is more time consuming. If any of this seems Greek you, you can Google it or pm me and I can help you. it is very simple to do and there are lots of guides online. I used a youtube video that showed me where to delete the getVar line. this method does not delete the files on the device.

Or grab the official 4.4.2, extract the system.img, and flash it with fastboot.

Is possible downgade 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 with moto x europe version?

Hello guys.
I need resolve a dude.
I want downgrade my moto x with 4.4.2 to 4.2.2.
I read trat is possible. First downgrade 4.4 att and after 4.2.2 att that accept update camera and no brick the Phone.
Is this correct?
Thanks in advance.

It is possible.
Download 4.2.2 T-Mobile xt1053 firmware and flash system.img and boot.img via fastboot. Backup all data of your internal storage. Then erase your userdata via fastboot. Then reboot.
Commands;
mfastboot flash system system.img
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot erase userdata -w
Everything will work. but you will see 4g icon instead of 3g or h+ even if your connection have 3g. Don't forget to deactivating ota and don't install 4.4.2 update with ota(because I don't tried it and also don't recommend it)
You can upgrade it again to 4.4.2 with same method but you don't need erase userdata if you upgrade to newer version.

1. Battery on 4.2.2 is excellent compared to KitKat for me.
2. Don't touch any bootloader or radio files (baseband). 4.2.2 will run on KitKat baseband with no problem.
3. Camera updates comes via play store and there is no way brick phone with a update of play store app if you not like the updates you can uninstall app update.
And use mfastboot(Motorola fastboot) instead of normal fastboot.

And make sure you have $350 in your pocket, just in case. You're taking a very big risk. Many have bricked downgrading. Some thought they knew how, but made one false move...and boom. Paperweight.
Just a friendly warning.

With 4.4.2 the motoboot (bootloader) and GPT.BIN got updated. At least these two (and possibly other parts) prevent a 100% successful ROM downgrade to 4.4 or 4.2.2.
You can try to do as proxuser has said, and use mfastboot to flash only certain parts... BUT *IF* it is successful, you will have intermixed versions on your phone, so if you try and take an OTA in the future, it will fail or brick your phone.
I've also seen reports of people who downgraded only system and boot having issues trying to go under... Settings -> Security on the phone (it kicks them back out.
There were enough posts of bricking when downgrading from 4.4.2 that the general rule it is too risky to try.

Can I thus downgrade my xt1052 to 4.2.2 from 4.4.4 kitkat? Can I flash this JB 4.2.2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-17-57-6 (Retail) Dev Edition software?

Only if you are OK with the fact that you may brick and have to phone shop.
Can't safely downgrade any moto x that is currently on or above 4.4.2.
The end. ?

Flash a compatible SPRINT baseband:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
then erase modemst partitions
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst1
then reboot
fastboot reboot
Do you have service now? If now, you will most likely need to flash the ENTIRE stock Sprint SBF. Remember to NOT*** attempt to downgrade. Only flash the same, or higher version than what is installed on the device...
Also note that once you erase modemst partitions, you must repeat my entire sim-unlock procedure....

Thank you for your answer!
when I flash the NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn , it said :'(bootloader) Variable not supported!' but then says"OKAY...finish..."
..It's this a problem?
and the first time I flash the 4.4.4 kikat , accidentally flash the baseband, then I reflash the baseband version between 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 system.
Will I brick the phone? I can still see IMEI NO. I just try the the 4.4 baseband still not work.

"Variable not supported" is totally normal.
Why are you flashing a 4.4 baseband? Flash at least the 4.4.2 baseband and try again...
You aren't at risk of bricking unless you attempt to downgrade motoboot.img or gpt.bin (Don't do that...).

the reason why I try the 4.4 baseband , is others are not working.
I only flash the baseband part, did not try the motoboot.img and gpt.bin.
so whats the solution now?
I have zero experience with the motoboot.img or gpt.bin.
can I flash it with the fastboot?

You have obviously misunderstood me....
I said that you should NOT*** flash motoboot or gpt (as downgrading these will result in brick).
Why not just try using RSD Lite or full manual method to do a complete return to stock? Find the thread in "General" titled "Return to 100% stock".

Remember: Do NOT attempt to downgrade (can result in brick). Only flash the SAME or HIGHER version of what is currently on the phone. If you are on 4.4.2, only flash 4.4.2.
Good Luck!

Complete return to stock means the xt1056 stock rom? or I can use the xt1060 rom?
beacause I can't use the xt1056 stock rom in here.

Before I flash the rom ,it still works fine.
Really don't know why .
I try another sim on my phone works well.

Moto X 2014, EFS corrupted

Hi,
I flashed my beautiful smartphone with CyanogenMod, then I decided to go back to stock. During this latest step I forgot to backup the EFS folder (I was neither knowing its existence!) and now it is corrupted (in About I have a Baseband unknown). How to fix? Is there a solution? Is there any hacker here??
Thanks a lot
Fabio

Try flashing the stock radio. You didn't tell us your model/carrier so I could not link the firmware you need.

Hi, thanks a lot for your answer.. I have a retde XT1092 and restoring to stock using the Motorola guidelines didn't solve... I opened a thread also in the Motorola forum:
https://forums.motorola.com/posts/bc9598199a?commentId=992184#992184
Especially these didn't solve:
$ fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
$ fastboot erase modemst1
$ fastboot erase modemst2
$ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
from:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images

That is the wrong firmware. The xt1095 has a different radio. You need the radio from this file:

The instructions are the same. Just use this ones radio.

Yes I know that URL ! I always restored from there using XT1092, tried with kitkat 5.0 and 5.1 without any success ...

Well if that didn't work, then I assume it is either your PDS partition that is corrupt, or a hardware failure. If you didn't backup your PDS partition there is no hope to fix it yourself. You will have to most likely bring it to a service center to get it fixed.

I have recently rooted, my device. Thanks to CF. But in the whole bunch of flash coding, just make sure you are not flashing your modems. Below are the commands I had avoided while flashing the rom.
$ fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
$ fastboot erase modemst1
$ fastboot erase modemst2
Now, in case of yours, you can try to flash with modem of 5.0 or 5.1 but I would recommend to go-ahead with 4.4.4 since that was original.
Incase if you failed to find it, then try with 5.0 or 5.1
