Recover a 4.4.4 downgrade brick! (Temporal solution)

So, i have noted a increased number of threads about people who have soft-bricked their phones downgrading from 4.4.4 GPE after recieving the OTA, since it includes a new partition table and there's no firmware image yet.
Worry not, i have found a solution for your problem. This method only let's you use custom ROMs (sadly), but it's meant to be a temporal solution while we wait for a 4.4.4 GPE image anyways.
So, without further ado, here's my fix:
You will need:
-The good ol' Android SDK
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download
-Motorola drivers
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
-A custom recovery. I recommend TWRP, since is the only one i have tested.
Official TWRP Images for Moto G: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/xt1032/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-xt1032.img
-The gpt.bin from 4.4.4 (this is the partition table)
I extracted it from the OTA file and uploaded to my Dropbox: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/82658555/gpt.bin
-A custom ROM of your choice (obligatory) + GApps (optional)
What to do:
Once you have the Android SDK, decompress the folder sdk/platform-tools in a place of your choice.
Inside this folder, put gpt.bin, the custom recovery image and the ROM and GApps zip's.
Start your phone on fastboot. Connect it.
Inside your decompressed platform-tools folder, hold shift and right click inside the folder. Select "Open command window here".
Make sure your phone is properly connected by typing "fastboot devices" (without the quotation marks). The command prompt should show your phone serial number.
Now we start the real deal. Fist of all, flash gpt.bin using this command:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
Make sure it ends on "OKAY"
Now, flash the recovery
fastboot flash recovery nameoftherecoveryfile.img
Once this is done, enter recovery using the fastboot menu on your phone (use Vol- to highlight "Recovery", and then press Vol+)
Now your phone should boot on recovery mode. If you recieve an error like "Can't mount /system/", don't worry, this is normal (there's no system partiton yet, after all). Now you can use ADB command with your PC. Once again, to be sure everything is connected properly,tyipe on the console:
adb devices
Once that is done, it's time to give your phone the custom ROM, so you can flash it. Type (or copy/paste)
adb push NameoftheROMfile.zip /sdcard/ NameoftheROMfile.zip
If you have GApps, do the same for those
adb push GApps.zip /sdcard/ GApps.zip
Now you can finally disconnect your phone from the PC! You are almost done, select "Install" in your recovery, and flash your ROM zip, then the GApps if you have them.
Once it's done, you can reboot to system.
And you will have a working Moto G again!!
Enjoy it, and don't brick it again

the guide isw missing some info (like enter flash sideload on recovery)
and that weird command push does not work, i have to use other command
i managed to install another rom after being bricked but still that rom won´t start, i have to try another
still thanks a lot
i did not download android sdk, i have my folder with adb files
also when i am in recovery, i type fastboot devices and nothing happens, but still the recovery could receive the file

From my experience, you don't have to enter sideload mode in recovery to push a file, sideload mode is for pushing OTAs. And remember, the ADB push command requires you to put the exact name of the file to transfer twice, that could have failed for you.
You can't use fastboot devices on recovery because you can only use ADB commands in recovery, you were supposed to use "adb devices".

Or you can restore 4.4.2 nandroid backup using recovery if you made one. But after that you need to flash correct baseband.

Not many people do NAND backups these days.
Sad, because they're really useful, and there wouldn't be as many "HALP BRICKED PHONE" threads.

got.bin is the partition table of the Moto G. Its the file that indicates to the phone the size, name and number of partitions it should have.
So, I know TWRP said in red letters Failed, but I'm interested what is the specific error, what did it said on the command prompt of TWRP.

and then there comes this updating partitution details and do i need to put the rom twice in the cmd?

and do i need a cutom rom with 4.4.4????????

EDIT:it looks that sideload works and not that push command
EDIT: nvm i am stuck at bootanimation
EDIT: this wont work it says failed all the time at twrp

I'm kind of confused. Why couldn't people downgrade and go back to stock by reflashing all of the files from an older stock image, including the motoboot and gpt? I would think this would work...although with people saying that they are unable to downgrade I'm not willing to try upgrading to 4.4.4 myself.
What errors are people seeing if they try to flash gpt and motoboot from, say, 4.4.2 stock or 4.4.2 GPE?

not work for me..

[SOLVED] [CM11] [XT1032] Stuck at boot splash logo

Hello,
I have a Motorola Moto G XT1032 on which I have successfully unlocked the bootloader. I can access to recovery (CWM 6.0.4.7) and transfer files using adb in this mod. However, CWM does not get past the splash logo (I do get the occasionnal lag when CWM rebuilds the cache, but this is another minor issue). I have tried the following ROMs, installed each after formatting /system, /data and /cache:
cm-11-20140308-SNAPSHOT-M4-falcon.zip
cm-11-20140405-SNAPSHOT-M5-falcon.zip
cm-11-20140504-SNAPSHOT-M6-falcon.zip
cm-11-20140613-NIGHTLY-falcon.zip
cm-11-20140730-NIGHTLY-falcon.zip
cm-11-20140823-NIGHTLY-falcon.zip
None worked. I did checked the md5 checksums. I have also tried installing GApps using gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip .
I do not know how to get more information on what happens when CM11 stucks during the boot. 'Show log' from recovery only prints some configuration information as well as:
Code:
I: Checking for extendedcommand...
I: Skipping execution of extendedcommand, file not found...
From what I undersood, extendedcommand is an optional executable used to launch stuff at boot.
I found some ideas from another thread and tried locking/unlocking oem:
Code:
$ fastboot oem lock begin
...
(bootloader) Ready to flash signed images
OKAY [ 0.057s]
finished. total time: 0.057s
$ fastboot oem lock

(bootloader) sst lock failure!
OKAY [ 0.037s]
finished. total time: 0.037s
$ fastboot oem unlock
...
(bootloader) Device already unlocked!
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.008s
Additionnally I also reinstalled recovery:
Code:
$ fastboot erase recovery
$ fastboot flash recovery CWM-swipe-6.0.4.7-falcon.img
I did have a message "Mismatched partition size (recovery)" but CWM starts fine. I then reinstalled CM11 again, but it did not help either.
Would you have further instruction to try and get CM11 to work?

Just a short post to avoid the thread from being buried down into oblivion.

Same happened to me days ago. I was unable to install any custom ROM. I was in Enhdroix and I flashed the original version of my ROM via fast boot but every time I tried to install a custom was stocked and bootlogo. Some how I figured that the boot loader of the original version was corrupted so I flashed a different stock ROM, after that was able to install custom.
The recovery message is normal you can check videos or post.
Hope this helps my friend.

To prevent any further problems, I also recommend that you flash twrp or philz recovery because the stock cwm recovery is outdated and it will give you problems while flashing ROMs in the future...

Thanks for your help, I finally got it to work!
If someone gets stuck with the same problem, here is what I did:
first, fastboot flash recovery to TWRP
reinstalling (wipe and so) CM11 from TWRP did not work any better
I reinstalled a stock ROM following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
I did not boot at all (no logo), but I could still get to fastboot
I reinstalled TWRP, and then CM11
it worked!
From my own diagnosis, I must have accidentely corrupted a partition with fastboot flash. Or maybe I wiped something that I should not have. Anyway, by reinstalling stock, I restored all the partitions and could install CM11. I do not think CWM is to blame here.

[Q] Flashed 5.1 GPE Stock ROM; Now It Won't Boot / Has Damaged Partition

Hi guys
I have a retail XT1032 from germany and I wanted to throw 5.1 at it.
I downloaded the GPE_5.1_XT1032_LMY47M.M001_CFC.xml.zip and fired every fastboot command that was given in the servicefile.xml flashfile.xml.
After that my phone was stuck at the google logo with the little lock. I tried several combinations of waiting and reflashing and naturally none of it worked.
Then I flashed TWRP which told me it couldn't mount /system, /data, /cache and /sdcard. I did a manual format of these and did the whole fastboot procedure again... didn't work.
Next thing i tried was installing cyanogenmod on the newly and freshly repaired filesystems. Now my phone started but it had no signal. I did some "fastboot flash modem..." with a bunch of images and flashed a few radio.zip files but none of it worked :/
Now i'm sitting here with either a cyanogenmod with no service or a freshly flashed GPE 5.1 which won't boot. And I think I can't go back because of the new gpt.bin, boot.bin and motoboot.bin.
little detail I forgot: everytime i do a "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin" in my terminal it says:
Code:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'partition' (32 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.029s]
writing 'partition'...
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.324s
and on the phone:
Code:
version downgraded for primary_gpt
Which is weird since it's the same gpt.bin I already flashed (41.19 btw.).
I suspect that's the reason for the damaged partitions but have no idea if I'm right and what to do about it
Any suggestions?

'Preflash validation failed' is normal. You would only NOT see it, if you flash a newer motoboot.img / gpt.bin.
Try flashing the GPE Optimized zip here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3017510
Also, in TWRP check /data is formatted to EXT4. See FAQ in above thread for more.

Well it's not only that the preflash validation message comes up but the whole flash of gpt.bin fails.
Data is ext4 (i also tried f2fs but... yeah...) and i tried the recovery-flashable gpe.zip files but it didn't change anything.
But thank you very much

Could you provide more information? Does the GPE zip flash and boot up - you just have no signal?

No it won't boot at all. While flashing one of the gpe.zips it stops with
Code:
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/gpe.zip'
I attached two screenshots. First one shows the partition situation right after flashing the GPE with fastboot. The second one is the error from above

That's a common error. Reboot recovery and try flashing again.

Nope didn't work.
Yesterday I flashed that brasil 5.0.2 image. Nothing failed and my bootloader version was 41.18 afterwards. But again the partitions weren't mountable and the system wouldn't boot. Fixed it with TWRP and flashed CM again. Now it boots and I have service... weird.
It looks a little bit like I can't flash a stock ROM now without breaking that damn thing.

Hard bricked? Can't get into recovery, can't unlock bootloader

Hello,
I think my XT1541 (16GB/2GB Retail GB) with locked bootloader might be hard-bricked.
I was running the stock 5.11 firmware when I did the 6.0 update and since then my phone is stuck in a bootloop.
Motorola won't repair it because I had to replace the screen and the phone is out of warranty.
I can access the bootloader but if I select recovery mode the phone just keeps bootlooping and I can't get into recovery.
I followed the instructions here to flash a stock firmware using fastboot. All the steps complete successfully but after rebooting, the phone is still stuck in a bootloop and I can't get into recovery.
I wanted to install a custom recovery but I'm unable to unlock my bootloader because of this error:
Code:
(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.
FAILED (remote failure)
Obviously I can't check that option as the phone won't boot.
So, is it hard bricked? Is there anything I can do to get my phone to work again?
Thanks a lot for your help!

How many system images do you need to flash? Sometimes there can be more than 6, sometimes there can be fewer.

If u are bootlooping when trying to enter recovery , then prolly the recovery is the issue. I'd suggest flash the recovery.IMG again and then proceed with flashing the rest of the .IMG files.

I'm going to sell this on eBay as non-working then unless someone comes up with a clever solution?
Thanks for your help!

Try flashing once more starting with the gpt.bin (that should hopefully take care of raw partition error) and skipping the bootloader altogether. Also, may be worthwhile to try mfastboot.exe instead of fastboot.exe.

I have this same issue, but I haven't flash 5.1.1 Files, I Only tried with 6.0 Brazil Retail.
I also tried to flash gpt to get rid of the "raw" partition, everything goes ok but still displaying that error. Anyone can help?

I got the same problem with my Moto E 2015... If I find a solution I will reply it in this topic..

Recovery installation failed

Hello,
I have a Moto G (XT1032) since 3 years and all of a sudden, it didn't boot. I had the Stock ROM, I never installed a new ROM or Recovery...
I unlocked my phone and then tried to install TWRP to boot on recovery and make a backup of my data.
I tried several recoveries (twrp-2.8.6.0-xt1032, twrp-3.0.0.0_2-falcon, twrp-3.1.0-0-falcon, twrp-3.1.0-0-xt1032 & clockwork-touch-6.0.4.7-falcon).
I have no problem to send the recovery on the phone. In the fastboot mode on the phone, it says the installation is okay and then, I choose "Recovery" in the fastboot mode on the phone.
The phone reboot and I have the android logo with "No Command". I find this blog : https://wasconet.com/solution-moto-g-android-recovery-mode-no-command/ and so I hold the power button and press the volume up button to enter recovery mode screen.
The problem is, I access the default recovery — which is not TWRP, only a basic recovery where I can't mount the phone. This recovery says :
Android system recovery
LPBS23.13-56-2
...
From there I can reboot, apply update from sdcard or ADB, wipe data/factory, wipe cache, reboot to bootloader, power down or view recovery logs.
What can I do to install a good recovery and to mount my phone to make a backup ?
Thanks guys !

Lately it happens with the latest versions of twrp. Do not boot or boot once, then return the Stock Recovery again.
In my case I can not install v3.1 because it throws me max download size error. :silly:
Try the v3.0.2-2. It works without any problem over my old falcon.
https://dl.twrp.me/falcon/twrp-3.0.2-2-falcon.img.html
I'm not sure if the command works on the Falcon, but first try starting it without flashing it
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-2-falcon.img
By the way, can i assume that having Lollipop you have the latest version of the bootloader (41.1A)?

Thanks, it worked ! I made a backup of my files.
Now I try since this morning to install a new ROM... I tried "Factory" in the fastboot mode => Phone blocks on "Bootloader unlock".
With TWRP, I havea lot of problem with the mount. I can see the data but to copy files, it was not possible.
I mount the sdcard in Read Write with the terminal on the phone to copy the Lineage ROM. I tried to install it but I receive an error "1001".
I use now the last version of TWRP, the 3.1.0 with the command fastboot boot. This version works but I have the same error to install Lineage.
I also tried to install the stock version EU 5.1 Stock ROM (Untouched) (522mb) (from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3017510) with adb sideload.
I saw "succesful" but the phone is always block on the "Bootloader unlock" image...
The bootloader version is indeed 41.1A.
Someone should have an idea to install a system ? (any system, I don't care, I just want a phone that I can use )
Thanks a lot !

Usually error 1001 relates to an encrypted or unreadable partition.
Have you used fastboot or mfastboot to install the system again?
Try Repair or Change file system using twrp.
Wipe>>Advanced Wipe>>
Then try to install any ROM.
If doesn't work. Inside of TWRP go to Advanced>Terminal Emulator
Then execute the command df
That should list you the partitions. Share it and if you know how to take it please share the recovery log after doing all this.

I use fastboot to just boot on the recovery.
To install, I don't tried fastboot or mfastboot. I find a guide to flash with mfastboot, I will try.
Yesterday I made all the wipe possible. Today I made a Repair on the system partition.
Here is the result of the df command :
df

I noticed something strange yesterday. I tried several times to delete files on the "sdcard" partition, where I found the pictures, whatsapp, ... I deleted some files with Windows (MTP Mode) and the files are always there after delete with no error message. I don't know if it's important or not.

When you unlock the bootloader, all your personal data should be deleted normally, but that didn't happen. The internal memory partition is recognized (that's good) but is unreadable, obviously corrupted. (Sorry for not noticing before)
Try installing the firmware again using mfastboot avoiding BOOTLOADER (motoboot) AND GPT files to see if works. If didn't, flash it again including GPT file (Partitions table).
If it still doesn't work, you'll have to figure out how to repartition the entire phone memory.
----------
By the way, never try to restore that DATA BACKUP. Like i say before, it's corrupted. Search a way to decompress and takes only the important files.

Thanks a lot for your time !
Indeed, it's seems there is a probleme with the filesystem.
I tried a flash of GPT & Bootloader but it didn't work.
Here is the log :
C:\adb\tmp>mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
target max-sparse-size: 256MB
sending 'partition' (32 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.026s]

But I'm not sure if I choose the good firmware & bootloader.
On this link (http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27), which version can I take ?
Here is the information that I have for the phone :
Motorola G XT1032 - Type M0DEB - FCCID ihdt56pf1 buyed in Belgium
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
41.1A (2015-04-10)
CPU MSM8226 CS
eMMC : 8GB Sandisk
DRAM : 1024MB Samsung S4

Try with one of these, and again. DONT FLASH BOOTLOADER (Usually cant be flashed after unlock but, I do not think you want a paperweight)
Retail EU 5.1

After several tests, I find a good package, this : XT1032_FALCON_RETFR_5.1_LPBS23.13-56-2_cid7_CFC.xml
I had no error.
I see your message too late, I flash the bootloader
But it's a 41.1A version, here is the info on this package :

I followed the guide here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 and no error during all the command. I switch off the phone and unfortunately, no boot...
It's block on the "Warning bootloader unlocked" screen...

The phone is still alive and that's good. Keep trying others roms if you want. But as I said before, surely the internal memory of the phone is corrupt. Unfortunately, I can't help you with that.
Maybe here over XDA there's a tutorial about how to solve your problem.

Okay, thanks a lot for your help.
I just tried the Retail EU 5.1 (NEWER BUILD) and same result : no error but blocks on the boot..
I will continue to test other ROM

I ended up in the same situation when trying to flash GPe on MotoG XT1032; the device was only able to boot into fastboot
After booting into TWRP, I formatted the /data partition again (in order to fallback to F2FS instead of ext4) and I used adb sideload to transfer "XT1032_Retail_Brazil_51_Untouched.zip" (you can find it on xda, under "Stock Motorola Lollipop ROM Collection" thread).
Phone was in full working condition once more
