Hey all,
Having an issue with RSD Lite. My phone is rendered useless and I am stuck in fastboot mode. I have the correct version of the fastboot files, I have done everything (I think) correctly. However, when I try to restore my phone and flash the file, I get an error saying: Failed flashing process. Unknown command [getvar]
What is wrong? Any help at all would be really appreciated.

Well long story short, my G2 is semi-bricked, and i dont think i have CWM on it, but i still can get to bootloader/fastboot. But the problem is, i cant flash or do ANYTHING! when i try to use adb (example: adb devices) on a command prompt, it doesnt detect my G2 HOWEVER when i use fastboot and on the command prompt i use (fastboot devices) it detects it. and i understand that fastboot can flash boot, recovery, system etc. but when i try to flash, it gives me "FAILED <remote: signature verify fail>"
I've been working on my G2 for the past weeks already and im still stuck please help!
Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me get out of this...
[EDIT: The fastboot option 'Normal powerup' eventually worked and phone seems to be back to normal]
So I finally decided I'd had enough of the Lollipop bugs and decided to downgrade to Kitkat following this guide -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/restore-to-kitkat-lollipop-moto-g-t3011553
Instead of typing the commands in separately I created a .bat file, and when I ran it I got the 'Preflash validation failed' error message for boot.img and the system.img files so I cancelled the bat file. However, the recovery.img file appears to have been written correctly.
When I now try to boot my phone it only gets as far as fastboot, which displays the error message 'UTAG "flashfail" configured as fastboot.'
Searching these forums shows me a lot of contradictory information so I'm hoping someone out there knows exactly what to do. If it's relevant, the bootloader has never been unlocked, the phone never rooted and it was running the latest UK Lollipop (5.02, 5.1?)
Thanks for any help!
In fastboot mode enter:
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Now your phone should boot normally.
I have run into trouble using this method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb0jKB8OFko to flash stock firmware
My device: Droid Maxx
Bootloader locked, not rooted
4.4.4 at the start of the process
I downloaded the suggested firmware and ran into problems.
The first time I attempted it RSD appeared to flash everything except system.img which got hung up and the bootloader gave me a message in red stating: "no valid piv block in sp for system" This occured with the 1FF-obake-maxx_verizon-user-4.4.4-SU6-7.2-release-keys.xml.zip 1.0.0 software.
Figuring I had the incorrect firmware i tried two other roms: 1. CFC-obake-maxx_verizon-user-4.4.4-SU6-7.2-release-keys.xml.zip 1.0.0 and 2. 1FF-obake-maxx_verizon-user-4.4.4-SU6-7-release-keys.xml.zip 1.0.0. Both failed with a different error message. This time RSD and the bootloader told me "preflash validation failed for gpt".
I have tried this with RSD 6.1.5 and 6.2.4
My suspicion is that I don't have the correct firmware, but I could be wrong.
The bad news is that the phone will not boot into recovery or normally. The good news is that the phone WILL enter bootloader mode and RSD WILL recognize it.
Anyways any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, as long as you can enter fastboot (bootloader mode) there is hope. That's the first thing.
Since RSD recognizes your phone then there is obviously something wrong with the flashing process. You can use either the 1FF obake-maxx or CFC obake-maxx firmware. The 1FF keeps your apps and data intact while the CFC firmware wipes everything off your phone and you start clean. I would recommend using the CFC so you do not anything left over from previous flashes. Also, make sure the entire firmware file is downloaded. I got only partial downloads( like 150/200 mb) several times when I tried to download the files. Both the 1FF and CFC should be about 900 or so mb each. Exactly what steps are you following? And where are you getting your downloads from?

Thanks for your help, but it appears that I have resolved the issue. As it turns out, the software need to be extracted to and launched from a clean folder. I had been placing it in the same folder I had adb and fastboot. My guess is that having the other version of fastboot in the same folder as the XML file confused RSD and caused the problem.

Flash the latest full stock, start with gpt and then motoimg.. Manually by fastboot flash
Sent from my XT1058 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Hello friends... I'm stuck in exact situation as OPwas. But I'm new to Moto x. Can some please explain in details.. Step by step procedure to bring phone back to life.. And link to files required.. Thanks a lot for your help guys. Also.. Phone bootloader is still locked and obviously not rooted.
Hi guys! I was trying to root my moto x and somehow messed up. I can get into fastboot, but havent been able to root it with RSD lite as im running into the same error as this person, and no, his fix doesnt work for me.
"I have a Verizon 2013 Moto X(XT1060) running 4.4.4(KXA21.12-L1.26) and I'm running Windows 7 64bit. And I'm following this guide.
I'm trying to root my phone but I'm stuck trying to revert it to stock 4.4.4. I have the drivers install, it shows up in windows explorer and in device manager, RSD Lite recognizes the device as Fastboot ghost S when I'm in the bootloader and says it's connected, the firmware I'm trying to use is called "VZW_XT1060_4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.26_CFC_1FF.xml.zip", I've removed the "<step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" />" line from the XML but whenever I try to start the flash I get an error saying "Failed flashing process. 2/17 flash partition "gpt.bin"-> Phone returned FAIL." and my phone reads "process oem command: fb_mode_set, getvar max-download-size, downloading 32768 bytes, done." I've tried moving the files multiple places, running RSD as admin and so far no luck and I completely wiped my phone. Any ideas?
edit:I fixed this by navigating to C:\Program Files (x86)\Motorola\RSD Lite and changing the SLD.exe to run in XP service pack 3 mode and as administrator."
Failed flashing process. 2/17 flash partition "gpt.bin" -> Phone returned FAIL.
The factory stock before this happened was 5.1 ghost
I would like to get it back to it but any version would work!
Thanks
