When I boot my phone, it says:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)
Error: failed to load kernel!
Fastboot Reason: Fall-through from normal boot mode
I've tried wiping and flashing several roms on it through TWRP, but keep getting this error. What am I doing wrong? The bootloader is unlocked and the device is rooted, if that helps.
I followed the instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g6/how-to/stock-firmware-moto-g6-t3792292
and the device is now booting. But it said it was encrypting the data which doesn't sound right, I don't want that.
Before you flashed the stock ROM again, was the device encrypted?

Hi to all, I had some problems with the battery life on my MotoG (2nd gen) running Lollipop and after a few tries I decided to wipe anything and flash the stock Marshmallow image.
First, I downloaded this image
XT1068_TITAN_RETAILDSDS_6.0_MPB24.65-34_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
and flashed correctly, step by step, as wrote here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
I also downloaded this "Universal MotoG Toolkit" from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/ultimate-moto-g-2014-toolkit-t2979862
But it doesn't work as it should.
For example, if I connect the device and say to "Rebbot to Recovery from Phone" the Phone just reboot, not in recovery.
Also I found out that a new "Warnning bootloader unlocked" screen appears now, on startup.
Then, I tried to flash TWRP into recovery to Root my device but it keeps going on error "Mismatched partition size", any TWRP I try to flash (2.8.6.0,3.0.0.1).
Also, after this error, If I try to "normal powerup" from Fastboot, I have another error "UTAG flashfile configured as fastboot" so no normal powerup.
What I have to do to power up is flash again motoboot with this command:
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
andf then
fastboot restart
And so, the phone restarts normally.
What's wrong with this?
Well this was happening to me and then instead of going for fastboot restart,, i gone to recovery and then its done ...
How go to recovery?
Timeline of the brick.
1-apps started crashing.
2-got stuck and unresponsive.
3-rebooted
4-automatically booted to bootloader.
5-selected boot options.(nothing worked).
Present state.
on nougat build 7.1.1 running with elementalx.
Stuck on bootloader screen with recovery log showing "failed to validate boot image/recovery image" . tried every methods,theories,heating the phone etc... all the methods but none of them worked.
fastboot and adb available (using temporary boot twrp 3.1 recovery) but flashing and erasing partitions failed through twrp. Every available partition showing 0mb
but i noticed that using older twrp images it is able to locate /data partition with 27199 mb available but cannot erase/format/resize it.
tried gpt.bin file using fastboot to flash but it returns - " failed to flash gpt.bin"
tried every image to flash and commands to revive but fails.
any help would be appreciated.
somehow i got the device to boot into qualcomm download mode 9008 and tried to debrick using files qboot but no luck still shows failed to flash gpt partition.
want to have this beast back again.
Hi there,
a friend asked me for help with restoring his german Moto G 2014 (XT1068). The last working software on the device was the Marshmallow update. He was having software issues and softbricked the device when trying to install a custom ROM.
Fastboot mode and stock recovery is accesible, the bootloader is unlocked and the device is stuck on the "WARNING: BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED" screen when trying to boot normally.
I have tried following this guide to revert the phone back to stock firmware with a matching system image. Both the XT1068_TITAN_RETDE_6.0_MPB24.65-34-3_cid7_CFC and XT1068_TITAN_RETAILDSDS_6.0_MPB24.65-34-3_cid7_CFC images will flash without any error messages. However, the device does not boot the new software. Also, when trying to relock the bootloader, the mfastboot oem lock command failes with the error message Not supported command in current status!. I tried to substitute mfastboot with fastboot, changed USB cables and downloaded new copies the images, with no success.
Digging deeper, I found out that I could not wipe cache or data using the stock recovery. This will fail with the error message blkdiscard on partition /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache failed. Further troubleshooting attempts lead me to try twrp custom recovery software (Version 3.1.1) which I could only start using the mfastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-0-titan.img command since flashing the image as custom recovery will not fail but the phone instantly and silently reverts to stock recovery - even when not rebooting inbetween. Consequently, any attempts to flash an image using the software will fail with E1001: Failed to update system image.
At this point, I have no idea what else I could try. That's why I turn to you, great community of XDA .
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have my Bootloader Unlocked, OEM Unlock is selected in Developer options, USB Debugging enabled, latest drivers and version of the SDK installed. I am able to get into fastboot mode, but once I proceed to fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
it starts to work but then says FAILED (remote: unknown command)
I've tried every version of TWRP. I've tried rebooting PC, Phone, etc. All to no avail. Very frustrated after spending 3 hours trying to get this to work. Any suggestions would be appreciated in getting this to work properly. Thank you.
Once you are in fastboot, instead of flashing, do 'fastboot boot twrp(name of file).img' to load twrp on the phone. The phone will load twrp and boot into it. Prior to the previous step, you should download flashable twrp.zip and place on your sd card that now you can flash once you boot in recovery.
Hey everyone,

Looks like the E5 forum handles E5+ too (their TWRP says for E5+) and I see your post there. I'm not familiar with your phone but did you try a factory reset? Another option might be to fastboot flash the boot.img from your model's firmware on lolinet - see here - which should restore your stock kernel. Either option will delete your personal data though but sometimes no other choice. See what they say over there & maybe post in the TWRP thread where OP looks to know his stuff.
I have the stock firmware but I keep getting invalid zip file. How do I fastboot flash the boot.img??

Make sure it's the correct official firmware version for your software channel &/or vendor. You need to unzip the firmware into a temp directory on a computer, then you'll see boot.img among many files, copy it into your fastboot folder, connect the phone (do a 'fastboot devices' to make sure it's working), then type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' and when it's done reboot. Also try a factory reset first if you can.
