Greetings,
I've been silly and managed to soft-brick my XT1039. Would anyone be able to point me towards the stock ROM for this device?
(Alternatively, any ROM that works on it. Heh.)
Many thanks.

hey, you need to provide more information on the nature of your soft-brick. what happens when you try to turn on the phone? is it bootloader unlocked? can you atleast turn the phone on to recovery mode?
I am not aware of any released xt1039 firmware. but you can give a shot to the xt1045 firmware, should be fairly similar.

Thanks for the reply.
So, if I try to turn on the phone it takes me to the Bootloader screen. The Bootloader is unlocked.
If I try to do a normal powerup, it says "Boot up failed".
If I try to enter Recovery, it gives me an Android-lying-on-its-back with a red warning triangle coming from it.
I've already followed the instructions to put the XT1045 firmware on my phone, and that's the state in which my phone is now (i.e. it didn't work).

I want to get the 4.4 update on my new Moto G. But also i want to avoid unlocking the bootloader. I read somewhere that the system will let you flash a signed image without unlocking the bootloader, but i want to be sure, so i don't end with a soft bricked phone and have to unlock it anyways.
Can you help me?
EDIT: You can! Just flash the upgrade via fastboot and your phone will have the last iteration of Android witthot unlocking anything.

you don't have to unlock it if you are updating it through the update option inside the phone itself.

then the answer is no, in order to load any custom rom you have to unlock your bootloader.

I had this problem and sadly, after trying countless times with different firmwares the only solution I could find is to unlock the bootloader.
Then it stops giving you an error when you try to flash boot.img.
Your mileage may vary, but that is a potential fix, so keep that in mind.

The only way to unlock the bootloader with AIO moto g's is to use Jcases sunshine app and you have to be in the operating system for that

Hello! I have an Xperia M2 and I want to root it. As far as my phone is branded and the bootloader is locked, I can't downgrade to JB (4.3) because I can't find the FTF for Orange RO. I tried all the methods listed on how to root locked bootloader but without succes. Can someone guide me somehow? Android without root is useless for me, thanks in advance!

Not sure how it works with branded phones, but I would try this nonetheless:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/help/qa-rooting-locked-bootloader-ota-method-t2999665
use the attached kernel (it's for M2). If it gets flashed you are all setup. Just be sure to have downloaded and updated first your phone to its latest FTF. From the downloaded FTF you can flash back its original kernel after the rooting.
Thanks for reply!

So does that mean that you could flash JB kernel? In that case your phone can be rooted with that method. Just make it sure you follow the guide step by step. If rootkitXperia/adb isn't working make it sure that adb debug is enabled in the phone and that you didn't wipe the data while flashing the kernel.
Now I don't remember well, but I think that other people had issues with rootkitXperia. So they used another rootkit. Don't ask me which one. You'll have better chance to get help asking it in the thread.
Hello there,
About year ago I've done an update to 6.0 android. Battery was charged near full and everything seemed okey. But, after update I faced a bootloop. So I tried to flash stock firmware and... failed. Many times. I'm unable to boot into recovery mode. Factory mode also isnt working. So, I tried to unlock my bootloader and flash another image, but when I try to unlock, I get a: "Check allow oem unlock in developer options". Sadly, I cant boot to check this option Is there any way to unlock oem without running android? What can I do? :crying:

How can you flash the /persist partition in a device with a locked bootloader? Doesn't this contain other information as well?
I think the real problem here is either the OP is not using the correct factory firmware image, or incorrect user procedure.

You are probably correct. Even with a locked bootloader, certain partitions can be flashed as long as downgrading is not detected. Example, if I have an xt1548 Moto G3 running on stock 5.1.1 firmware, and I have a locked bootloader, I can flash either an updated 6.0.1 stock firmware package or I can reflash the 5.1.1 firmware with the same build as the one already installed. The bootloader will, however, prevent downgrading. In flashing the /persist partition, the .img being flashed would need to be from an equal or newer build as well.
But again, your statement regarding the correct firmware procedure and/or correct firmware package is likely correct.

You can't flash anything except a bootloader. I was in this situation as MotoJunkie knows and nothing works. I did have a full backup of every partition on the phone and none flashed. Today I bricked it so badly that it doesn't even turn on anymore. My tip is to not mess with the bootloader and stuff and just use the phone normally as many things are encrypted on this phone.

Yes I recall your situation and your hard brick. I'm saying that under normal circumstances you can flash full firmware packages with a locked bootloader, as long as downgrading is not attempted.

You obviously developed corrupt partitions some way or another. I flash stock firmware packages with a locked bootloader on a regular basis. You should always be able to flash the same firmware build that is currently installed on your device.

Were you on stock (factory) or on custom ROM?

When you downgrade back to lower stock, you have to omit gpt.bin command. Because you have a newer bootloader.
This is also why you can't take OTA. Because it tries to install a different bootloader (which is probably still older than what you had with custom ROM). If you wanted stock 5.0.2 again, you have to flash full stock image and omit the gpt.bin command.
Are you able to use volume and power button to the bootloader screen?

Before this trouble, were you ever on stock Marshmallow 6.0.1? If so, you can flash back to full firmware of that, but needs to be the very latest. I'll find a link for you.

OK, then that's the bootloader you were on and will always be on. You need to reflash that latest version (with the security update) to repair. Just reflash the entire full firmware.
There's a link to it here in this forum. I'll find it when I get home, if you don't have it.
Then in the future, if you try to downgrade, you always have to flash full stock version EXCEPT you omit the gpt.bin file. Whether 4.4.4 Kitkat or 5.0.2 Lollipop.
And you can never take OTA.
Because you really have 6.0.1 bootloader.

You can not flash any older gpt.bin files. You have to omit (leave out) that flash command.
Your gpt.bin file is 6.0.1, and you cannot downgrade. Even on 4.4.4, trying to accept the 5.0.2 OTA update is still older gpt.bin file in that OTA than your 6.0.1.
