Urgent: Can't flash back to stock. update gpt_main version failed - Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so device is droid ultra. RSD is 6.1.5. The phone is detected and everything. Official cable too. Phone was updated with software update to latest version yesterday and then rooted with rockmymoto. Basically I was playing with NFC libs and have an endless force close so am returning to stock. But when I try to flash XT1080_obake_verizon-user-4.2.2-12.90Q2X-160-OBK_TA-14-4-4-release-keys_CFC.xml , I get the following on the phone screen:
Downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
Is this saying I did not download the correct firmware version? Can someone link me to the LATEST if so? The link I went to had 3 different files so I downloaded this one. This is the link I used http://sbf.droid-developers.org/obake/list.php thank you guys!

Can't go back work the old fxz files. Security conflict so you can't downgrade. Were all waiting on the new fxz files. Check the general section
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

That's what I was thinking. Thank you.

the same questions were just below . you guys got to wait for latest fxz files

[Q] Will Mr. Parkinsons DroidHD Utility 2.0 work with 9.18.79

I am trying to get my phone back to unroot and stock. I have been looking through everything and have tried using RSD Lite and flashing the latest SBF from SBF Developers but had no success. Had a couple things go wrong - First it said it was downgrading security, then two errors. update tz version failed and preflash validation failed for tz.
Here's my question: I'm wondering if Mr. Parkinsons DroidHD Utility will work but I noticed it is for Fastboot Restore 9.16.6 4.1.2 Stock Jelly Bean and I am on the latest OTA which I believe is 9.18.79 XT926.
I was going to try matts utility but it says not to use with the latest ota.
If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
it doesnt have the latest update on it, so no you cant use it, unless your bootloader is unlocked then you can flash whatever no problem.

I do not have a unlocked bootloader so I guess I won't be doing that. Do you know of any other way to get it back to stock?

4.4.4 21.11.21 is not downgradable???

I have a consumer edition Maxx (not Dev) with bootloder unlocked via Chinese guy. I was messing with 4.4.4 and decided to go back to 4.4.0 (12.6.3), fired up RSD Lite but ... could not because:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main versin failed

It's not possible as of now. The bootloader wont run the software for some reason. Just boot loops. Havent put much work into it though.
You have to remove few lines of code from the xml file.
I have seen a guy who removed 4 lines of code from the xml file and got success to downgrade with unlocked boot loader
That does not apply to 4.4.4. Been there done that

[Help] XT925 failed to flash partition

Hi!
I have some problem for reflash my XT925.
He's unlocked on the bootloader and was rooted. I installed the last official KK ROM (from xda thread about update on KK). But my clock was stuck on the 1st January of 1970 and no way to modify that.
So I wiped the phone with TWRP and after I try to reflash my moto.
And it doesn't work! If i use the file for updating from 4.1.2 to KK, I have ann error with :
Code:
tz file size
And if I use the Retail FR 4.1.2 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQU-22
Code:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
If I delete these two files the flash works but the phone doesn't boot :'(
So I think my partition was corrupted and this is why I can't boot.
So how I can repair that. Some people tried to flash the GPT file from partition_signed file but I don't know where is mine ^^
Regards
No need to repartition system.
Flash the Retail FR 4.1.2 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQU-22 with RSDlite, then look for the OTA update.
If OTA update not available for your ROM, download the Edit.Blur_Version.98.21.22003.XT925.CEE-Retail.en.EU.zip which has the updater script included and flash it through your recovery.

I need to reflash the partition but I was in KK. SO it doesn't want to flash a previous version I think. I need a KK official ROM to re-partition.
how did you install kk over what you had?
At first :
1/ Flash 4.1.2 Upgradable from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/dro...tutorial-make-motorola-razr-hd-xt925-t2916465
2/Upgrade via OTA to KK
3/Bug appeared with the clock and the date (unable to change the date or the clock (i'm not alone https://forums.motorola.com/posts/2b9452ac6b?page=1) )
4/Decided to wipe all for a clean flash
5/Trying to flash with the Retail FR 4.1.2 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQU-22
5/Flash Failed if I keep partition_signed (security downgrade)or tz file(wrong file size)
6/Flash Pass if I delete this lines in the xml but the phone won't start (bootloop)
Is it clear ?
much better Btrax, i can see clearly now
i just had that clock isht stuck in 1970 yesterday man, i did troubleshoot it for an hour or so, but I couldn't get it to adjust itself. In addition, i was doing more stuff even opening the xt 925 physically .
So after all the things i tried, i disconnected the battery to make sure i dont short circuit anything, then tightened up cables .
Rebooted the thing, and it fired right up.
I don't know how comfortable you are with getting into the xt 925, however with guidance, you don't even need to disconnect the screen cables or nothing.
You have two screws in the bottom, then you can just pry it open , and sideloading some plastic tool to disconnect battery and back.
I wish i had a softer solution but , it is what it is man. I ll be glad to help if you go that route.
ps. put link to this post in the link you shared
Since you are in France, there is a new recent OTA KK official update : 180.46.117.XT925.CEE-Retail.en.EU.
If I were you I would go back to Step 1 and 2 and then try to grab this new update.
Seems like it corrects Free Carrier EAP SIM and other Google security issues. Hope it will correct your problem too?

[Q] Rogers Razr HD 4.1.2 OTA to 4.4.2 update fails

I have 3 RAZR HD phones from Rogers in Canada that are on 4.1.2 that are Rooted but the bootloader has not been unlocked and they have chainfire SuperSU on them. My wife got the OTA update notice days ago and said yes to it. She showed me her phone yesterday with the message that the software update failed. When it failed she was told by a friend at work that it failed because she had a SU on it so she did an uninstall on SU through the playstore and tried the update again that failed. I had told them (wife and daughter) not to make changes to them until i have a look at them, but well I guess that didn't work for one anyway. I let mine download the OTA update but said install later. I have a copy of the zip file now on my PC. She then did a factory reset (work friend) and tried the OTA update again. that failed.
Coupel questions.
1: I have been trying to find out how to unroot the phones so that the OTA update works but am getting a lot of conflicting info and not sure if it applies to my Rogers phones. Do they need to be unrooted to update? Do they need the bootloader unlocked to work around the OTA update After update how do i get Root again?
2: My wifes phone now is "stuck" partially unrooted? What i mean is I tried to put chainfire SU back on but it fails saying the binary cannot install and quits. It will not accept the OTA update from Rogers also. Apps that require Root on her phone do not work properly now also.

Would I be able to get a copy of the 4.4.2 Rogers firmware from you? I'm in the same boat and would need a copy of this firmware to force an update with the Motorola tools. If it works out for me I'll definitely share the process.
Your best bet is to backup your data, RSDLite back to stock 4.1.2 and take the OTA. Make sure your bootloader is unlocked. Do not root or install custom recovery before the OTA has completed.

Bootloader unlocked now
I have the bootloader unlocked now from Moto website. If I boot into AP Fastboot it is confirmed "Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3" I am trying to flash a cmwrecovery.img to the phone. I get the following
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
target reported max download size of 31457280 bytes
sending 'recovery' (6824 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.530s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.997s]
finished. total time: 2.527s
I am not sure that the img is working. I execute the fastboot reboot and hold volume up/down and power select recovery and it stays on the boot logo for a long time then goes black logo comes back and boots normally. Not sure why its not working and do not know what i am doing wrong.
Any advise out there on this Rogers XT926 O.T.A. update fails
Now that the bootloader is unlocked I still cannot get the Rogers OTA to work. I got the 4.1.2 rooted again now and installed chainfire SuperSU onto the phone did a full unroot with SuperSU checked with root checker and now it says it is not rooted. I did a full factory reset wipe all data and downloaded the OTA update, let the OTA update try and it got 3/4 way through and failed. it keeps saying there is a critical update to run will download it and try but fails. I even tried to use the CWM custom recovery to run the update file and it gets error messages and fails. Not sure what to change in the OTA.img file to get this to take. Did anyone else figure out how to force it to complete?
Where is the Rogers stock 4.1.2
I found lots of 4.1.2 img files but I cannot be sure that any are for Rogers. How do I know that they are really plain stock files with now changes made to them, so that I can proceed?

when you didnt had twrp installed, than you have no chance of downgrading, samsung is like apple now where they prevent downgrading, once the bootloader got updated due to a software update there is no chance of downgrading

So the only way to downgrade my android is to wait for TWRP Release on android 12 right ?
Sadly it isnt possible to downgrade to a lower firmware even with twrp installed.
Look at this post:
If i have twrp installed, can i flash older update with OLDER BOOTLOADER?
I am on dec 12 android 10 update right now. I've always wanted to try an early version of android 9 to check some different display qualities. But it obviously has older bootloader version. İf i install twrp, can i flash an update with older...
