it all started with a bootanimation, need help now

Ok heres is what happen yesterday, I successfully root my HD XT925 using Dan's motochopper (Thanks Dan!!) no problem at all then I found a bootanimation thread I pick the bootanimation_dna.zip and I went to system/media and rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimationOLD.zip, copy the DNA file and rename it to bootanimation.zip, everything OK so far... then I restart my XT925 and it starts doing the DNA bootanimation BUT almost to finish it got stuck!! and since then I was not able to use the phone, I try to recovery, wipe data etc. etc. and nothing it starts booting, show motorola logo then the animation starts and it gets stuck...
so after several hours of unsuccessful tries to get it work and looking into several places, I found the stock firmware (JB 4.1.2 Telcel -MX) I downloaded to flash it and see if that works... bad idea!!
I tried flash the firmware with fastboot and using RSD lite (v6.1.5) with the same results:
fastboot reason: boot menu selected
usb conected
downgrade security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for gpt
now the cell is stuck on fastboot mode, it says: Fastboot Reason: Flash Failure
So I'm overwhelm and I don't know what to do...
a couple of things, I try using the firmware directly as I downloaded and the RSD gave me this error:
"Flailed flashing process. Unknonw fastboot command. (getvar)"
then I read somewhere here at XDA that I should remove a line from the xml fle... <step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" />
try again and I got this:
"Failed flashing process. 2/22 flash partition "partition_signed" -> Phone returned FAIL.
and the cell shows:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
Any idea what I'm doing wrong???
Thakns guys!!

no one?

same problem, help please !

Foxtom, you're spamming many threads. Please stop.

Since you have an XT925, if you don't mind unlocking your bootloader (through motorola no need for any hacks), you can then flash anything through RSD and it won't fail because of version errors or anything

I personnaly used a self made script to flash stock roms, RSD Lite is always bugging me for instructions like this one.
Here is an example :
Code:
@echo off
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1_signed
fastboot flash sbl2 sbl2_signed
fastboot flash sbl3 sbl3_signed
fastboot flash rpm rpm_signed
fastboot flash tz tz_signed
fastboot flash aboot aboot_signed
fastboot reboot-bootloader
echo. When the screen comes back on, press any key to continue!
pause
fastboot flash partition partition_signed
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1_signed
fastboot flash sbl2 sbl2_signed
fastboot flash sbl3 sbl3_signed
fastboot flash rpm rpm_signed
fastboot flash tz tz_signed
fastboot flash aboot aboot_signed
fastboot flash boot boot_signed
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash system system_signed
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed
fastboot flash modem modem_signed
fastboot flash devtree devtree_signed
fastboot flash logo logo
fastboot flash cdrom cdrom_signed
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg_signed
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase tombstones
echo. Press a key to reboot the phone
pause
fastboot reboot
All you have to do, is replace the "xxxx_signed" with the filenames you have in your rom.
And save this in a textfile called "xxxx.bat".
Then (if the fastboot.exe files are in the same folder) execute the script and it will flash your XT925.
I personnaly used that script with the stock rom Retail/France and it worked perfectly.
Tell me if you need more details.

rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimationOLD.zip,
here's your problem, if you see tutorials in the themes and apps section, it tell you to rename your old one .bak as in backup
and then paste new bootanimation...try that out!

Problems after unlocking bootloader

I manually unlocked my bootloader and began the process of installing TWRP and then Cyanogenmod. After playing with Cyanogenmod I realized I wasn't missing much, so I tried to go back to Lollipop / Marshmallow only to discover that now every time I boot up my phone it immediately goes to the bootloader, requiring me to manually start my phone. If I try to factory reset it does the same thing. I can reinstall TWRP, but the resulting flash will not allow me to flash custom roms or do much more than click buttons that won't do anything. I cannot get TWRP to export my log to the SD card so I can share the issues. Here is what I have noticed:
1. I have no cache directory according to TWRP.
2. If I try to flash a custom rom, IE Cyanogenmod, it reboots recovery and I don't see an error until I attempt to go back and reflash. Again, I cannot export a log file that will open or allow me to copy it to a different directory.
3. No matter what operation I try to perform, rebooting the device always puts it back to the bootloader. I have to manually start my phone from the menu.
Is there something I should be doing differently? Should I try and flash down to Cyanogenmod 12.1 and then go back to Lollipop? Is the previous upgrade to Marshmallow screwing things up?

Hmm... can you try to flash firmware again? For now skip factory reset in recovery. You can do it later. Flash the latest Marshmallow firmware in bootloader mode:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.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 system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
If you want to flash lollipop you must skip partition and bootloader. It might cause bootloop which you will not be able to fix:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
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 system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot

If your phone goes to the bootloader mode every boot, then you didn't close fb_oem mode, when in the bootloader send the command "fastboot oem fb_mode_clear", you should get an OK. Reboot and you should be good to go.

Your phone reboot to system but every reboot it goes first to bootloader or only bootloader is loaded and you can't boot to system? If first then do what @acejavelin said. If system is not loaded then flash firmware again.

<bootloader/ has-slot:system: not found?

I can flash firmware again, but from there it's still acting up. I also cannot do fastboot oem lock.

Now I'm told the storage is in RAW format?

Downgrading the bootloader

Hi guys!
I have got the XT1621 and i have a lot of lag when i flash a nougat firmware through fastboot
But when i install marshmallow (23.4) and i update by ota to nougat (-14) it is very smooth!!
The problem is that i updated by induced ota from -14 to -14-4 nougat
The real problem is that the bootloader updated to .05 version and i cant flash marshmallow and update by ota to -14 because it would end in hardbrick!!
What can i do to downgrade??
If i hardbricked my moto g4 with intention, could i flash the -14 bootloader blankflash file? It could be a way to downgrade the bootloader
Any other idea of what can i do?

I recall you can downgrade to MM if you wish, just do not flash the GPT and bootloader partitions. Leave them as they are. That way, you'll avoid a hard brick (but you'll need to flash the latest firmware to re-lock your device).
Of course, you'll need an unlocked bootloader for this to work, and the appropriate stock ROM (a copy is here https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/athene/official/RETAIL/) - I see XT1622 MPJ24.139-23.4 which matches what you had before (though I strongly recommend double checking it's the right firmware).
Then follow this guide to downgrade: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-downgrade-to-marshmallow-nougat-t3515961
If you're unable to download the script that's mentioned in the guide, you may try the following fastboot commands (note the absence of the locking, GPT and bootloader commands).
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.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 system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot reboot
This procedure will wipe your device and should revert your device to an MM baseband and system. As always, back up your data, move it off your device until you're done flashing.

Whats the difference between fastboot -w and just wiping everything in Twrp? That could have been it.. Syber makes the official Twrp as well so dont know if the one in OP is any different
And theres 4 roms btw, Havoc OS has no thread but its on Syber's androidfilehost. Same rgb/display issues as Lineage though

bruh you dont even have to use the fastboot -w or wipe command

FULL GUIDE TO DEBRICK/INSTALL STOCK ROM/REMOVE BAD KEY/INSTALL CUSTOM ROM AND TWRP
ensure your google accounts are removed from the phone and bootloader is unlocked...
boot to bootloader
run cmd prompt
use cd C:\*LOCATION* to go to folder with full STOCK ROM but make sure you have this files in the folder too [adb.exe, fastboot.exe, adbwinapi.dll, adbwinusbapi.dll] from ur minimal adb and fastboot setup. you will also need the recovery file TWRP-ocean-3.3.1-Syber-v2.2_11-02.img in this folder and the logo.bin file to remove the bad key FROM HERE. I suggest you rename to logonew.bin and put in the stock rom folder. you will also want ur RRromzip, the copypartitions.zip, the TWRP INSTALLER, GAPPS & MAGISK ZIP...
no matter what stage u are at other than bricked [after the BLANK FLASH then resume with this guide. if ur stuck bootlooping or have messed anything up start from the stock rom install or you will end up bricking your phone....
ok so in your cmd open in stock rom folder type these commands:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.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 system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
fastboot flash system_b system_b.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system_b system_b.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system_b system_b.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash oem_b oem_other.img
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot-bootloader
when it reboots to bootloader use these commands from the same folder:
fastboot set_active a
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot flash modem_a NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg_a fsg.mbn
fastboot flash dsp_a adspso.bin
fastboot flash logo_a logo.bin
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo_a dtbo.img
fastboot flash vendor_a vendor.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash vendor_a vendor.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash vendor_a vendor.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash vendor_b vendor.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash vendor_b vendor.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash vendor_b vendor.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash oem_a oem.img
fastboot flash oem_b oem.img
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now use these commands to remove bad key
fastboot flash logo_a logonew.bin
fastboot flash logo_b logonew.bin
now boot the twrp by using
fastboot boot TWRP-ocean-3.3.1-Syber-v2.2_11-02.img
when twrp boots it should show up in ur windows explorer if you have an sd card just drop the files you need on it or you will have to use command adb push copy-partitions-payton.zip /sdcard/
install the copy-partitions-payton.zip
when complete reboot-bootloader
now boot the twrp again by using
fastboot boot TWRP-ocean-3.3.1-Syber-v2.2_11-02.img
now install the rom zip
then the twrp installer zip
reboot-recovery [it auto switches slot]
install gapps and magisk zips
reboot system
you should have ur custom rom and twrp recovery permanently installed now

Thanks for this guide! Does it work with official TWRP?
One more question: I have the RETEU Version, wich zip should i pick? The PPO or the PPOS Version?
thanks in advance!
