[question] Bootloader loop - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI, i have tried flashing a us firmware but have failed and soft bricked the phone. I can enter the bootloader but normal powerup simply flashes the boot logo. If I try to flash the us firmware it says
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
can anybody guide me please? I don't want to permanently brick my phone
EDIT: I have succesfully flashed the german retailer 4.4.2 version, but the motoboot.img and gpt.bin wouldn't flash, and now when it powers up it shows the bootloader unlocked and then a black screen. any help?

[Q] My htc one sv will only go to boot loader

so my phone froze today so I took out battery and turned it on and all it does is go to the boot loader.
So I decide to try recovery all this does is flash android logos and then back to same screen,
Next I try factory reset and same flashes to android logos and back to same screen
After reading this forum
I then go through the process of unlocking my boot loader via htc dev the process goes great I receive email etc etc
The final process should bring up a disclaimer on my screen but nothing
So my question is wtf what do I do?
Please help me
Check the guide at HTC side if you have done everything correctly, all is written how it should or copy and paste.
Without unlocked bootloader, there is no chance to rescue your phone.
Any information about your phone model and exactly the step it fails is important, too.
this problem has such a friend, and it does not solve constantly locked bootloader ...
Does anyone solved this problem?The same situation of my phone?Please help!
Hi,
i flash 2.8.4.0twrp, then make backup, after that (whit in recovery options) try to make factory reset, and after that my one sv is messed up like hell...
It is not booting...stuck for a while at htc logo, screen goes black, then loads bootloader, I am able to go to twrp (I have fresh backup of complete phone, did it with twrp above), but not able to flash anything...it fails every time, saying that is unable to mount cache...try advance wipe, but it is not able to mount any thing...
Since my phone was S-off, unlocked bootloader, superCID (it is k2ul), hboot2.0, I tryed with fastboot oem relock (to lock bootloader, and flash stock pl80img.zip) but that fails too, ends up with to many links message...and bootloader stays with tampered and unlocked sign...before flashing 2.8.4.0twrp phone was working great, but after factory reset it is not able to mount anything, and running pl80img.zip gives me all so only fail...fail...fail...
So..now i have latest twrp and totaly messed up phone...
How can U help me, anny advice???
THX in advance!

After I extracted the firmware zip from it, edited the android-info.txt CID number to HTC__032 and place it to SD, rename to PL80IMG.zip after I get the same problem!
After these problems are try another method with fastboot!

Preflash validation failed Moto G XT1039

Hello!
I tried to make a downgrade of my XT1039 from Lolipop to Kit Kat.
My XT1039 bootloader is unlock (I have status3 in the fastboot menu) but when I try to flash the kit kat stock rom I see this:
writing 'partition' ...
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.352s
I am not an expert but I think that from this point the rest of commands are not applied. After finishing the flash I reboot the device and it get's stuck in the bootanimation.
I don't know what to do. I red that is not possible to recover if the device was already updated to Lolipop but I am not sure. Should I try a Cyanogen firmware?
Any advice please?
Thanks you so much
This is a dangerous way to downgrade to KitKat. People have dead phones by flashing an older Bootloader.
You can safely flash one of these Stock KitKat ROMs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-kitkat-rom-t3160127
If you choose an Untouched ROM - Do not accept OTA Updates. Such updates are disabled in the Optimized ROMs.
OK, thak you very much.

Moto G stuck in AP Fastboot Flash Mode (NS)

I've been trying to resurrect a Moto G recently, which is stuck in fastboot with the error "failed to validate boot image".
I tried flashing stock firmware using mfastboot, but when flashing the partition, I get the errors:
(bootloader) Failed to write primary GPT.
(bootloader) Failed to program partition table
FAILED (remote failure)
Is there anything else I should try, or is the phone bricked?
I have the same problem, i unlock oem my moto g3 2015 and flashed it directly without renable the oem unlock in developper menu.
i'm stuck to bootloader in secure flashing mode now.
have someone a solution

Unbrick moto g turbo

I have a bricked moto g turbo which is locked so i cant flash firmware files i tried getting bootloader unlock code but a error shows up to tick allow bootloader unlock in developer options but i can't turn on my phone so I cant enable that option. please help
You don't need to be unlocked to flash factory firmware. Just go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3169639 and get the correct firmware and follow the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3187750 and flash your device.
Bootloader unlock is only needed for downgrading, root, and flashing custom ROMs and recovery. It is not needed to flash a full factory image that is the same or newer.
And for the record, if OEM Unlocking is not enabled, the bootloader cannot be unlocked.
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
sending 'partition' (32 KB)... OKAY
writing 'partition'... (bootloader) Preflash validation failed

Hi i have the same error. But my problem is with the módem. I cant take signal. I try flash the original rom and don't work

What do you mean by flashed wrong kdz? If you where running the latest version of MM you just bricked your device. You cannot downgrade downgrading tripped antirollback. Only fix is a board replacement.
