Bricked Moto X 2014? Fastboot flashing, ADB Sideloading, Nothing Seems To Work

Bricked Moto X 2014? Fastboot flashing, ADB sideloading, nothing seems to work
Hello,
I have this Moto X 2nd gen (XT1092), and I wanted to install an Android Marshmallow OS last weekend.
I did it according to this article on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/install-image-marshmallow-6-0-xt-1097-t3266858 , where an install image plus small install description is posted.
This is the first ‘non-standard’ thing I tried with this phone. It is not rooted, nor did I make any changes in the settings for developers, apart from enabling USB debugging. The device was running an stock version of Android 5.1, which I received the normal way(just an automatic system update).
Using some 'fastboot flash....' commands via the PC, the image should be installed. However, upon trying the first command: 'fastboot flash partition gpt.bin', the terminal responded with:
-------------------------
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'partition' (32 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.003s]
writing 'partition'...
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.102s
-------------------------
Afterwards, my phone didnt boot to android anymore. The only thing it does is put me in "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)"
I have tried installing different stock Motorola images/zips for my phone, in order to try to get it back to how it was, but for every fastboot flash I want to do (except for the boot logo), I get the preflash validation error.
I also tried sideloading images via ADB via the recovery mode, bit this doesn’t work either:
When I try "adb sideload <IMAGE>.zip", it starts to send the file to the phone, and the phone receives it. Very quickly after completing the transfer, though, the phone can say two things (depending on what .zip file I try):
1.
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
Package expects build fingerprint of motorola/victara_reteu/victara:5.0/LXE22.46-19.1/1:user/release-keys or motorola/victara_reteu/victara:5.1/LPE23.32-25.1/1:user/release-keys; this device has motorola/victara_reteu/victara:4.4.4/KXE21.187-42/41:user/re
Installation aborted.
2.
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installation aborted.
One thing to note is that when I try 'adb devices', it gives me:
-------------------------
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb devices
List of devices attached
TA99300SXJ sideload
-------------------------
It says that the device is in ADB sideload mode, which blocks me from using other ADB functions, like shell. Is there a way to get 'full' ADB acces?
I also tried using the official Motorola “RDS Lite” software, as some people say this can be used to correctly flash an image to the phone, but this program just does not see my phone.
I did install all drivers, and Windows recognizes the device correctly, in both fastboot and ADB (recovery) mode.
Another thing I wanted to do to solve this, is to unlock the bootloader, as some people on forums said that this would help. However, when I try “fastboot oem unlock UNIQUEKEY” with the key I got from the Motorola website, the bootloader responds with the message stating that I have to enable unlocking the bootloader via developer settings. And obviously, I cannot go to settings to enable this.
-------------------------
I’m very stuck here, and I would be the intensely happy if there would be someone around who can help me get my phone back to life!
I do have experience with flashing Android ROMs/Images/Zips, but not on Motorola devices.
I reckon that this:
“Package expects build fingerprint of motorola/victara_reteu/victara:5.0/LXE22.46-19.1/1:user/release-keys or motorola/victara_reteu/victara:5.1/LPE23.32-25.1/1:user/release-keys; this device has motorola/victara_reteu/victara:4.4.4/KXE21.187-42/41:user/re”
could possibly be caused by an incorrect zip file. If that is the case, is there any way to obtain the proper file?
I did read about some special micro USB cables connecting the normally unused pin 4. Could this be helpful?
Any help would be IMMENSELY appreciated. I'm not ready to give up the fight!
Kind regards,
Ostheer

This same thing happened to me today. Ive had my fair share of rooted phone issues but this one is a mystery to me. Ive rooted every other Moto device [G, G '14, X, X Pure] And now a new issue arises.
I used a .bat file from CLARK_RETUS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml_SHAWN5162 . It finished and booted into bootloader but wont go anywhere from there. I have a feeling Ive reset to a locked state with no boot file.
Device is LOCKED. Status Code:0
Software status: Modified

Just like you I tried several fixes and no luck.
1. ADB Lite: Same issue
2. mfastboot Same issue
3. RSD Lite: Does not recognize my devices (win 10 / sdk / all drivers / redownloaded 3 times)
4. any bat file I try / manual code / or adb all fail
There must be a solution to this. I want Marshmallow 6.0 just as much as the next guy to work on my phone. Thanks for the help

At this point I would be happy to get anything to work on it, 6.0 is not a requirement for me anymore.
For me it says: "Software status: Official", and getting the unlock data works. Still can't unlock though, as this should've been enabled in settings apparently.

Well there is your problem, your bootloader is locked. You can't flash firmware that is not for your model/carrier with a locked bootloader. It absolutely will fail.
Try flashing this with mfastboot:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/i8htlx8fqpv/VICTARA_RETEU_XT1092_5.1_LPE23.32-25.3_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
Most likely gpt.bin and motoboot will fail to flash, just keep flashing all the files even if those 2 fail.
If this works, do NOT use the OTA update to get to 6.0 there is a high probability that you will hard brick your phone if you use OTA, and there is no way to fix that currently.
Because of what you did, you will have to wait for a full 6.0 firmware for the xt1092EU. Do not flash anything else until that is released.

@AGISCI,
Thank you for your reply. I am currently downloading the file you linked, and will try to flash it using mfastboot as soon as it finishes downloading.
I did indeed hear that using the OTA afterwards is not something you will want to do.

This I think is your delay. I just woke up today and noticed my phone now says UNLOCKED I didnt do anything else but attempt all my failed steps on another computer and a reboot [which had not been done since system failure. So it boot up like it was unlocked and didnt go further. Back to bootloader mode, let see if it works
YES! Got it to load up and boot using this 6.0 zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/rom-installation-rsd-t3263800
However now my SIM card isnt being recognized. Which ssems to happen all the time when using a file from another country. Isnt there a simple solution for this fix?

That is great news! I am still downloading the zip AGISCI linked.
So if I'm correct, in the fastboot screen it now says "device is unlocked" for you?
What steps did you make to try to unlock the bootloader?
Also, am I correct to assume that you used fastboot/mfastboot to flash your zip in the end?

How is it possible? Your bootloader just got unlocked without root!
I will be more than happy if you explain again what you did and what happend exactly.
Thanks.

Whenever you flash a firmware meant for another region/carrier, you are also flashing the modem/radio that supports that region/carrier, so you have to find the firmware that supports your device/region/carrier and flash the modem/radio from it, in bootloader mode:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
These are the files you need to flash "NON-HLOS.bin" and "fsg.mbn"

It sounds like the download of the .zip is corrupt. You will need to download the zip again. There is a list of md5 values in an xml file inside the zip. If the md5 is different it won't flash as a safety precaution.

You are indeed correct. I dont think using another computer helped, although I managed to get FLASH Partition gpt.bin to work first try. What I think happened was my friend [not knowing it was in bootloader] did the bootloader button sequence and failed so instead it just tried to boot up [Stopped @ unlocked bootloader screen]
SO after I got 6.0 to work the radio network wasnt the same so now my SIM isnt being recognized.
So I looked for a simple solution and found directions
The Radio uses these lines of the flash process:
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
I searched for Moto X radio files but no luck, however I did find this link for Moto G which is everything I need to find the solution myself with instructions

I believe that Root is a step that comes after bootloader
[YOUR PHONE]
1. unlock-Bootloader --> mfastboot oem get_unlock_data
This is the first step Motorola tells you to do. Go Here: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
2. Install TWRP --> mfastboot flash recovery 'your twrp.img'
At this point your phone should turn on, if not your not finished
3. Install Root --> push SuperSU-v2.--
This zip I have CLARK_RETUS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml_SHAWN5162.zip started this whole mess but it was made to where you can relock your phone after returning it to stock. Problem was that when I ran the .bat file it never took the files so it dumped every partition THEN locked me out, or just pretended to, Im still unsure because I think all I did was try to push a flash line by line [eg. gpt.bin,motoboot,logo...] only got to motoboot and then did a reset. :highfive:

Thanks for the reply. I checked all MD5's and compared them to the ones I generated with a MD5 checksum tool, they all match. I am downloading the zip again, but theoretically that shouldn't help as de MD5's are good.
"Invalid signed image" stays the problem here, unfortunately...
Is there no way to unlock the bootloader if you didn't enable this via settings in Android?

Question what version of android were you on before you did this? 5.1? With stagefright patch?

Thought so,
I was on an official 5.1 build, presumably with the patch indeed, as my phone was fully updated and the patch came out in September. For the patch I can't be 100% sure though.
I downloaded the zip for the second time, but as expected after the MD5 check, the results were the same...

I don't know if this is the reason, but maybe if you did not have the stagefright patch you need the firmware without it. Here is the 5.1 without stagefright to try:

Curiosity:
How is the phone actually checking the file signatures? What is it comparing them to?
I'm wondering how did I manage to make the phone unable to boot, while the bootloader doesn't allow anything to be flashed?

The images are also signed by motorola with a special key that only they have and know. If the key does not match with your installed firmware flashing will fail.

I downloaded the zip without stagefright, and flashing it using the described procedure again gave the error 'Preflash validation failed' - 'Invalid PIV signed system image'.
Strangely though, flashing motoboot.img actually did work for the first time. (!)
Also flashing the recovery.img works for most zips I tried. That's rather strange as apparently they are being checked too: flashing a twrp recovery (unsurprisingly) didn't work: "mismatched partition size (recovery)".

I requested a compatible stock zip from Motorola for my device, using a ticket on their site. Probably they won't be very eager to supply it though.

Moto G 2014 LTE ( XT1079 ), How to relock bootloader

I downloaded Android Marshmallow after reading news about it through settings/about/system updates.
After downloading, the phone restarted but updatation was stuck after flashing TWRP screen (error screen photo attached)
My phone is
bootloader unlocked,
recovery TWRP
rooted
ROM is stock.
It seems the OTA update will be completed once I have stock recovery,
I have following queries
Is it necessary to revert to stock recovery to complete OTA update?
If yes, how to achieve it, what i learnt through search, I need to find Stock ROM zips and extract recovery (boot.img) and then flash it through adb?
where to look for thea stock rom and is there any easier method

It's risky, a lot of users here for some reasons got stuck whit locked/unlocked bootloader unable to boot and flash anything.
Here you can find all the motog stock roms http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=50
You should wait for the complete rom image for your country/model to pop there instead doing that risky thing you want do.

Thanks
Recently stock rom for xt1079 has been added to the list.
But I m trying to download from filefactory since yesterday but due to some reason, it stops in between and resume isn't supported.
Are there any other hosts

Are you sure the region of that xt1079 is right for your phonr ? check the phone box and the info inside settings to know which region/carrier you have, you must use the same identical 100% stock to avoid problems
And, do no relock bootloader !!!

yes i bought this through online retailer in India.
It is xt1079 Asia
I see in xda forum of moto g 2nd gen most of the time ppl are talking about xt1078.
What's the difference between xt1078/1079 and can't I use xt1078 ROM.
Rooting procedure meant for xt1078 worked fine for me
And Sir is relocking bootloader very risky ? suppose something goes wrong wont I be able to unlock or restore nandroid backup.

Thanks to support from Dr.nic I am finally on android 6.0
Although I have relocked my bootloader, but it is recommended to leave as it is.
If anyone stumbles here with same problem like mine i.e. unable to upgrade to android 6.0 just because of custom recovery, then pls download the firmware from filefactory.com link and flash. I'll add flashing commands as well to this post in near future.

if you have already done this rom change etc, the you must already be having fastboot, adb etc.
after connecting in fastboot mode holding VolDown and Power for few secs
run following commands
[this is for android 6.0 firmware]
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
I am not great expert, do this only if you have some idea, I may not be able to help you much if something goes wrong.
I can only say it worked for me

Firmware/Rom downgrade XT1072 -No sound-

Here is my situation, I have a moto g xt1072 (Jan 2016) which came with a faulty problem, no sound after 5 seconds of been started. I checked everything (Factory reset via recovery), including both speakers, (both working at 7.5 ohms). Do you think a firmware change or a different ROM can help or it's time to let it go?

Yep, if you are familliar with this process could you mind writing me a list of steps in order? I'll investigate 1 by 1 later, I've found so much info that's confusing. My phone is unlcock for any cellphone company, but It's not root, it's stock.
I used to install custom ROM's on my old Defy + but I things are very different now for what I'm seening. :S

Fastboot: I'm not quite sure what is this about, is this for the new firmware installation? The guide you point says something about downgrading 4.3 to 4.2 and I'm running 6.0 stock.
I tried the first command (mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin) and it got stuck at : Waiting for device.
should I root the phone first?
can I use RSD Lite?

The guide I linked to is not about downgrading. Ignore references to Android 4.3 - it still applies to Android 6.0. It sounds like you have not installed the usb drivers for your phone in Windows. This is a prerequisite. These Moto G drivers will also work for your phone:
Moto G USB Drivers (WinXP/7/8/10 32Bit-64Bit)​
Test Fastboot is working by typing: fastboot devices
You may also be able to use RSD Lite - but this again will require you have installed USB drivers for your phone.

my opinion is use RSD lite first, unless there is not a specific firmware file for your carrier/region...
or there is a high rate of flashing failure with the firmware available.
if RSD lite fails, best to post errors from pc and phone here
before try again, if there's not an obvious fix
then try mfastboot.exe
fastboot.exe is generic android, mfastboot.exe is Motorola specific, for moto's unique system.img...
avoid usb 3.0 ports
make sure the firmware downloaded is correct size, verified MD5 is best.
verify drivers are correct when the device is in fastboot mode

i think the tip you gave to avoid usb 3.0 ports will really help, didnt realize i was using the usb 3.0 port

Ok, this is what I did so far: (I'm running Windows 7 64b).
1. RSD Lite 6.2.4: Installed
2. Motorola Mobile Drivers Installation 6.4.0: Installed
3. Motorola Device Manager: Installed
1. I started the mobile into the recovery mode
2. Connected the moto cable to the pc
3. Opened RSD Lite, loaded the new firmware and hit start boton
4. The process reached a "please reboot manually...."
5. The phone starts but with the old firmware in it.

More Updates: I ran mfastboot sequence and every command returned OKAY. The issue still remains intact, sound works for 5 seconds, and the firmware has not been updated.
Any thoughts?

It looks increasingly like your issue is hardware, not software related. The only remaining software option I can suggest is via PC, do the following wipe: (requires working ADB setup - google it)

Just a quick reminder. This moto g XT1702 Jan2016, is not rooted, bootloader is locked and has everything stock, it came with Android 6.0 installed.

2. By locking the bootloader, can i get official update (OTA)? or will it still block the OTA?

Install this tool ,and install motorola driver, download letest official moto ROM,on usb debugging to Detect device with fb command . After select rom zip and enter.
http://rsdlite.en.lo4d.com
RSD Lite is a Motorola tool which can be used to install software on Motorola Android phones and tablets.
The application can be used for a number of reasons and can be a very useful tool for installing root (or rooting) a phone, but only if it's an Android phone.
The application interface of RSD Lite is pretty bare-bones and includes some technical details that would only be understood by more intermediate users.
With that said, using RSD Lite will certainly void your warranty and if you're not familiar with rooting or flashing Motorola devices, then it could brick your phone. Conversely, the tool can also be used to unbrick a device.
RSDLite is licensed as Freeware for Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) operating system / platform from mobile phone tools without restrictions. RSDLite 6.2.4 is available to all software users as a free download (Freeware).
Some people facing this problem but it caused moto failed to write IMEI in some device.So use a back up tool like √♀ back should store in your pendrive.

Why my device shows 4G instead of LTE symbol

I bricked my device after doing some stupid thing, what stock ROM do I get to fix it?

I had installed the latest January patch on my stock ROM Moto One Power XT1942, and after rooting and tinkering, I accidentally put my phone in a bootloop. I tried to get hold of a stock ROM image but I only found ROMs with November patch, and comments warning me to not downgrade. So what do I do? Can anyone provide me with a January updated stock ROM?

If your phone is defined in the device manager as COM port 9008, you can restore it according to this instruction.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/how-to/guide-how-to-unbrick-moto-z-hardbricked-t3590133
The file 'blank-flash.bat' can be taken in the folder "mbm-ci", the cat will be in the unpacked firmware.

After installing this file, the phone will be able to boot into fastboot.
After that, you can restore the phone by flashing the same downloaded firmware using the method described here.

You did not "Brick" your device per se. Probably some improper file was flashed. If you have not wiped your phone, you can just simple try to fastboot flash the stock boot image. It may solve the issue. If not then do a clean flash to either the stock ROM or any custom ROM from this AFH link.
Note that the Custom ROMs are still in beta due to a VoLTE issue and thus are not released on XDA Dev DB yet. They are safe to flash though and are stable if you do not need VoLTE.
You can also ask for more help at the official telegram channel for the device.

I thank you very much for your help. I was able to successfully flash the stock firmware from the link you provided. I only have a small question. The stock ROM zip, is it updated after every security patch OTA update?

Yes, the complete firmware file is different with every new build released. You can install OTA with the current fastboot flashed stock ROM but provided it has to be "FULLY STOCK". Else the update will fail.

1. It has unlocked "bootloader" and on all restart it says to relock it to secure it. If I relock it, will still work or stop working?
2. It has Android 8.1.0 SKU XT1942-1 BUILD NUMBER OPT28.81-45 When I click update it shows Your Device is up-to-date
Android version 8.1.0
Current Version OPT28.81-45
Security Patch level September 1, 2018
But today I saw this update
XT1942-2_CHEF_RETAIL_9.0_PPTS29.74-29-2_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
I want to know can I update this version and how to?
Please help me as quickly as possible
Thanks and regards
azhar

I had installed the latest January patch on my stock ROM Moto One Power XT1942, and after rooting and tinkering, I accidentally put my phone in a bootloop. I tried to get hold of a stock ROM image but I only found ROMs with November patch, and comments warning me to not downgrade. So what do I do? Can anyone provide me with a January updated stock ROM?

Did you install any third party app or it happens by itself? I had the same problem but i was messing around with the moto app launcher. Anyhow, try flashing this stock rom with latest june security patch. Don't use TWRP, it is a full rom. Use Fastboot mode. Also backup your device, if you want your files back. This will do a clean install of the rom.
Here is the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lLmDvX4R4o2Jqrhp1RQflap27jxe4hXS/view
Steps:
1) Boot your device into fastboot mode
2) Open flashall.bat and wait for flashing
3) Reboot

If your phone is defined in the device manager as COM port 9008, you can restore it according to this instruction.

The file 'blank-flash.bat' can be taken in the folder "mbm-ci", the cat will be in the unpacked firmware.

After installing this file, the phone will be able to boot into fastboot.
After that, you can restore the phone by flashing the same downloaded firmware using the method described here.
