Background:
I was having issues with my front/rear cameras failing to initialize sometimes, so I decided to do a factory reset of my phone. I was on 9.18, both rooted and unlocked (I unlocked prior to going to 9.18). I was able to use the RAZR Utility to downgrade to 4.1.2 and then root again. However, when I did the OTA update for my phone, the update failed and now my phone is stuck in "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)".
On the Fastboot screen it reads:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
failed to hab check for gpt_backup: 0x35
failed to load GPT
CID Read Failure
Invalid CID status 0x69
No SP partition found
Fastboot Reason: Invalid GPT
I have tried using RSD Lite to go to 9.30, but it keeps failing (I may be doing something wrong...). If anyone could provide any help, it would be greatly appreciated!
** Solved **
Used bweN diorD's modded utility to reformat the GPT partitions, all is well.

I tried flashing Kitkat from 4.3 using the Minimal ADB and Fastboot method and after rebooting, my phone didn't start and is stuck in recovery mode, not the CWM i had previously installed, just the default Android system Recovery, tried wiping everything but no success.
I have x1032 with 4.3 rooted and bootloader unlocked, also CWM installed now i don't know what to do, please help, how do i make my phone functional again?
thanks
edit: i can boot fastboot mode too but none of the options work, tried reflashing KitKat with the same method and this is what i've found
when i put ''mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin ''
it says
''(bootloader) preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)''
and the phone says ''version downgraded for primary_gpt''
then i get these error while putting the other commands
''hab check failed for boot''
''hab check failed for recovery''
''hab check failed for system''
''Invalid PIV signed system image''
Check the forum, it's all there.
Hello everyone
I am new here.
I need some assistance with my moto g.
I previously unlocked my Moto G's bootloader but realised that I just wanted it on stock and locked so I didn't damage it, so I managed to relock my
phone's bootloader and got it back to a stock rom.
After installing a system update a few days ago, my phone came back with the
"Warning - bootloader unlocked!" logo after installing a system update.
So I decided to try and reflash the stock firmware and original logo.bin from the XDA Site.
However, my flashes are failing and my moto g is stuck in a bootloop with no rom to boot up to, I have adb minimal fastboot and motorola drivers
/ adb drivers installed.
What happens: I power on the phone into bootloader mode, then I try to flash the ROM I got from droid-developers site, but whenever I try to relock
my bootloader it shows the following:
...
Ready to flash signed images!
OK: (time)
I do fastboot flash partition gpt.bin and I get:
Preflash validation failed!
SST lock failure!
Also trying to issue the command to relock the bootloader gives me
SST lock failure!
I get other errors too when flashing the sparsechunk images, it gives: Invalid PIV signed image! and for motoboot and boot images it gives: Preflash validation failed!
version downgraded for boot.
etc
I cannot recover my stock rom due to these errors, I've searched everywhere (on google) and here and I am desperate to flash the stock rom back and relock bootloader again so I can use the phone.
I am really stuck and my phone will not get out of a bootloop
Any help is really much appreciated as I need to get my phone working so I can use it
You don't need to relock the bootloader. Just follow this tutorial:

I followed the tutorial, but when I get to the flashing stage, I get:
Preflash validation failed,
SST lock failure!
And version downraded for gpt.bin
it seems to be failing to flash these files.
What do I need to do?
You need to provide more information for people to help you. Have you upgraded to 4.4.4?
I had a similar issue when rooting my phone, and all I had to do was unplug the phone from the computer, restart the phone and computer, and then try again.

But did you downgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2?
What model do you have?
Can you explain us all the steps?
Thanks
First unlock your bootloader again. You have to downgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.4.3 then to 4.4.2. During the downgrades you have to follow the same kind of firmware (example: 4.4.4 retail EU -> 4.4.3 retail EU -> 4.4.2 retail EU). When you're done if you want you can relock the bootloader.
Hi I've Installed Chainfire(dumbest idea ever) -I had GLTools with only default plugin- ,too check whenever It would be possible to run Portal-So memory is almost full ,so I couldn't do neither full CWM backup ,and Advanced Backup didn't worked for me.
So What I did was flash 4.4.2(and I was on 4.4.4 europe rom -XT1032)
I have Fastboot Reason: UTAG *flashfail* configured as fastboot(no not after installing chainfire)
I was flashing with my premade /.sh file (fastboot flash partition gpt.bin etc.) and it seems like what have been flasheed is:
wirting 'partition'...
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED(remote failure)
wirting 'motoboot'...
(bootloader) Motoboot: Preflash validation for tz
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
witing 'boot'...
OKAY
'system' -sparechunk.0
FAILED (data transfer failure (No such file or directory)) - lol? ,I've actually modified VM to have 512 mb of ram instead of 1536mb and cores from 2 to 1.
*fastboot resets*
Fastboot Reason: UTAG *flashfail* configured as fastboot
'system'-sparechunk.1
OKAY
and the rest wasn't flashed ,What can I do ,...I've just clicked factory(up button-congrats idiot-I wanted to go into recovery to say that I can go there and do something from there *facepalm* and clicked Up button ,because I was on factory option).
Okay ,so know I have no UTAG error recovery still works ,phone gets stuck on unlocked bootloader disclamer.
Btw before I started to install chainfire I've followed some instructions:
Code:
Backup
[B] * boot into recovery
* adb backup -f boot.img boot
* adb backup -f system.img system[/B]
Restore
[B] * boot into recovery[/B]
* adb shell echo -n boot > /tmp/ro.bu.restore
* adb restore boot.img
[I][B] * adb shell echo -n system > /tmp/ro.bu.restore
* adb restore system.img[/B][/I]
I've followed ,Failed
As boot.img from 4.4.2 have flashed can I actually flash that( * adb backup -f boot.img boot) boot.img and I don't magic will help me. Or can Actually someone who Have XT1032 falcon_umts do like CWM Backup without any personal stuff and I would try to flash it(Preloader/boot is not corrupted- device unlocked etc.-) ,when I used Used factory then everything seems to be working(expect for the android of course... and I don't know whenever VM will work If I don't have everything flashed).
Btw I can't Flash System.img from before I've destroyed it with Chainfire ,because the size is more than 600/700 mb and it just out numbers max number for sending system partition to fastboot.
Not saying this will definitely work, but if you get the gpt.bin and emmc_appsboot.mbn files from the 4.4.4 OTA zip (probably floating around here) and overwrite the originals from 4.4.2 in your factory image (delete the old ones or rename them to something else), then do the following:
Code:
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then flash as normal according to the guide that's floating around here, but leave out the gpt.bin and emmc_appsboot.mbn (you already flashed these) and the motoboot.img or it will brick it!
I just installed Paranoid Android ontop of it(adb sideload-I couldn't get into CWM ,and by accidently clicking factory in fastboot I could then go to CWM) and it works-then I launch PA install minimal gapps then factory reset it in cwm delete all data and slowly update pa update by update(installing 4.4RC2 into 4.45 is an bad idea for overall performance and stability) -I just kinda paniced.And I think ,because I was using generic fastboot instead of provided in guide ,preloadder didn't get corrupted(when to look at It only boot have been flashed correctly , and PA have boot.img in package).
So far so good.
This error has been associated with locked bootloader.
I know but my is still unlocked.
Btw that message "Preflash validation failled" supposed to show after booting too fastboot(actually that sounds like a total bull****) or on flasher linux terminal.

My moto's bootloader is unlocked too, but it still gives the error...
Found an article:
https://giorgiosadventures.wordpres...rom-gpe-4-4-4-to-stock-and-recover-softbrick/
Try this... Lets see if it helps...
BTW, I got this error after converting xt1033 to gpe, then OTA'ing it to 5.0.1, then downgrading to 4.4.2.
@layman806 My moto g allready work look at post #3 this is what I did it[it looks extremly confusing]. It mightn't work for you through
,but if yours moto g have unlocked bootloader then you can do a lot ,and your situation isn't that bad.

This subforum is not for your phone. https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g is the place for you.
If you are getting a 'pre-flash validation' error - even with the latest available firmware image - then you have to either wait for an even newer firmware image or unlock Bootloader and flash a ROM zip.
help me plseeeeeeeeeeeeee i m getting preflash validation failed error on gpt.bin and sparsechunk plseee help me anyone i m using moto g3 xt1550 and trying to flash marshmallow.
Hi XDA,
I have a Droid Razr Maxx HD (XT926) with Android KitKat 4.4.2 (183.46.15)
I want to upgrade to Android Lollipop.
I use Droid Razr HD Utility 1.21. On menu choice, I select option 1 - Flash 4.1.2 Stock System, Kernel, and Radio (Data Wipe) [from AP Fastboot] and it FAILED when sending "system" with log "Preflash validation failed", on my phone has log "Partition (system) Security Version Downgraded, PIV block validation for system failed, Invalid PIV Image: system" and when sending "boot" with log "Preflash validation failed" and my phone has log "Partition (boot) Security Version Downgraded, Preflash validation failed for boot". After that, it erasing userdata, cache and sending modem, modemst1, modemst2 and auto reboot.
After reboot, my phone gets to this first time Setup Wizard, when I press Start it shows, "Please wait, this may take a few minutes" and it gets stuck there . I have tried putting it on full battery and charger and leaving it to do so overnight and in the morning it still shows that message :crying: . Can you please help me to get past this Setup Wizard so I can use my phone again?
Thanks for all!
First, you can't upgrade, downgrade, or otherwise replace your firmware under 183.46.15, unless you had unlocked your bootloader before upgrading to that version. If your bootloader is still locked, then you're stuck. There is no known method for unlocking the bootloader under 183.46.15. Attempts to do so generally end badly, as you have discovered. You can, however, get root access.
Second, the method I would try to repair your phone is to use RSD Lite and reflash the stock firmware to your phone, the same version you had before. Any other version will fail to install correctly.
I had tried RSD and fastboot and it won't flash it's from Telcel Mexico I tried the Retail Brazil Full JB and Mexico JB and nothing I had also tried to unlock the bootloader but I get an error messages saying this device is not eligible to unlock bootloader some message like that
this is the error message I'm getting when I try with RSD
downgrade security version
update gpt.main version failed
preflash validation failed for gpt
and when I try with Fastboot I get send ok but faile at writing on every line
a message that says failure remote something like that
help please
XT925 Still won't flash
I was able to unlock bootloader but still giving me the same exact error messages when trying to flash
How did you unlock the bootloader?
I know about "fastboot oem get_unlock_data", but in my case this command returns that wasn't possible get any information.
