go in bootloader and then use fastboot and use this " fastboot getvar version-main " to check your firmware . If you are on 3.32 firmware u can flash any rom but 3.33 is recommended as it is latest.

Ok I had a notification on the Moto G that there was an official Lollipop update available , along with a prompt to download 23.21.17 ( see attachments )
I initially tried upgrading from a rooted stock version of UK tesco firmware/Rom .
The firmware update started and the phone booted into a boot-loader ( with android image laying down ) The firmware update started , However this firmware update failed around halfway and the phone simply booted back into kitkat firmware/Rom
I then suceeded in re-flashing a stock UK KitKat ( 4.4.4) retail rom , then unrooted the Moto G , so theoretically the phone is stock but boot-loader is still unlocked .
I suspect the phone recognizes the boot loader is unlocked and fails to complete the update process
IS there a possibility this is an incorrect update ? I have not seen officail confirmation of lollipop for UK peregrine XT1039 yet which makes me suspicious of the new lollipop update on phone . Could this be due to me using Hola VPN ?
Please advise

I guess this means I have to update the unofficial way ?

Reflash stock ROM, and stock recovery. Ota will not update if the phone is rooted (even unrooted), if the system files are changed (xposed) or if the recovery isn't stock. So, basically, you can't use twrp, Cwm, etc. You have to be COMPLETELY stock.

Does it matter that the phone has been unlocked ? I mean an unlock code was used so it could acccept any sim card . Does that mean I have to reflash Tesco Firmware Rom , or would retail firmware ROM be ok ?
Hi,
I have a G920F, I was rooted and want to go to stock again. I have restored the device with Smart Switch, but now I am unable to flash any other rom. I have downloaded 3 different roms from Sammobile and get sw. check failed device 3 binary 2 at everyone. The current rom is form Italy Wind the latest OI9. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, probably you trying to install oldest firmware 5.0.1, download the latest firmware and try again. You are with 5.1, right? This error on odin happens, because you cannot downgrade the firmware. Hope this helps.
I think you can not downgrade even if it is the same Android version.
If it detects you are on a newer bootloader it will give you that error.
What I belive you can do is to extract the bootloader (sboot) and modem from the .tar file and flash ONLY the system through Odin.
Don't know exactly how to do that because I haven't done it but I think that would do; you will have to search and read my friend.
You will have the stock firmware but with latest bootloader and modem.
Hope this helps.
Note: As far as I know this will work if its the same Andorid version; you can not have Android 5.0.2 with 5.1.1 bootloader.

Hi,
I have tried what you said, but no succes. The firmware was already recovered with smart switch so the bootloader is the latest.

But did you try to flash without the bootloader and modem?
Hey.
Just installed TWRP from the guide on XDA (will post link later). Odin worked, everything was OK. Until I installed a ROM.
I have tried 4 different ROMs withone outcome - phone wont get past first boot screen - the one witn Samsung S-+ Powered by Android. No matter the minutes I wait, it just stays there. No Samsung logo as normal boot is displayed.
I can freely get to recovery or bootloader. But there is a problem - I dont know the precise string full model number after G955F*. Therefore I dont know what stock image or bootloader to choose.
My questions:
1. How to get back to working phone?
2. How to check the full model number in this situation?
TWRP works perfectly. Odin works. Just System wont boot...
Thanks in advance!

Did you flash magisk before the first boot ?
Did you forget to OEM Unlock ?
Did you flash the right firmware for your device ?
If you forgot to OEM Unlock your royally screwed, follow the steps again to the letter and try CF-Autoroot or magisk after first boot.
Tried both Magisk and SuperSu, both no luck. I did update the phone via OTA, did not flash anything besides TWRP via Odin. Both Magisk and SuperSu were part of AROMA for the ROM.
I have G955F European version. Can I flash any ROM from Any country that matches the model name (via Odin) or do I need specific version that corresponds with my previous stock ROM verson (string after G955F*).
I did unlock OEM on stock ROM before TWRP flash. Downloader mode shows Unlocked True.

That's exactly what i did for mine, odd try flashing the bat stock ROM, also fash the Notorious kernel.
You CSC in aroma should be set to multi ( it's the default selection ) keep everything stock when you flash the ROM and see if it boots before falshing anything else, there is a newer TWRP now ending 3.1.1-1.
Strange thing is, whenever I turn on my phone it boots straight to Recovery - like there's no system partition.
I will download and try BatStock. Should I upgrade bootloader & modem through Odin?
I'm also thinking about flashing stock ROM through Odin. Maybe this will work?
Also, it's strange - I don't see any other files than TWRP folder when I connect the phone to PC.
Installed BatStock Rom, same thing happens - stuck on SAMSUNG Galaxy S8+ Powered by Android and nothing happens.
BatStock ROM in Aroma has option to flash bootloader and modem. Should I use it?
Hello my friend

After I downgraded my device from android 6.0.1
I'm now on MT7-TL10 V100R001C00B130 build number .
When I was on lollipop I have a back up stock recovery , as I flashed it back to get ota update and downgrade version of my phone .
I used twrp to flash the stock and also tried flashify too , which those worked when I'm on lollipop version .
And now i couldn't flash stock recovery on this Kitkat
I tried extracting the stock recovery image from its original firmware and flashed but it not working
I tried a couple recovery from Russian site
And it still not working
And now I still on 4.4.2 , can't upgrade to higher version due to crazy stock recovery
Im sure i installed the correct version of recovery
It is b130
The error in bootloader was

Your Odin error is due to flashing older firmware version ( Bootloader)
The firmware you mentioned above is the latest version 3 bootloader so you should be able to flash that.
Latest version firmware is G955FXXU4CRI5 (September with bootloader ver 4) if you want to update to the latest firmware.
Flashing the firmware will replace your recovery.
You can use this to find the latest firmware for your phone
