Help :bricked my moto g

hi
i need some help here
i was on 4.4.2 us version and i wanted to downgrade to 4.3 de version
now my phone stays always in fastboot mode and got this error when i try to flash :version downgraded for primary_gpt
some help please

More information would be greatly appreciated.
This are some of the steps you can follow as of now.
Firstly you can try flashing the stock firmware through fastboot but I guess you already have tried that.
Next thing is to flash a custom recovery such as cwm from the android development section and then boot into recovery. After that using adb side load install a custom 4.3 ROM such as infusion by tillaz. Reboot you are there.
These are some basic ways, as I have no other details I based it on a assumption hopefully it helped you.

Rollback to 4.3 impossible. Everywhere they write about it in big red letters. Try to roll back - get a brick. Although, Try to flash back to 4.4.2 US if you see fastboot or mfastboot devices show up.

Moto G (2013) GPE 5.0.1 to Motorola´s 5.0.2

Hello guys, I´m in doubt here, and although i´ve been reading some posts, I cannot seem to understand the procedure to install Motorola´s 5.0.2 in my Moto G, actually on 5.0.1 GPE.
As far as I know, I need to wipe it off, then convert partitions to f2fs and then flash via custom recovery?
I´ve tried twice, but cannot install TWRP, will try with Phillz.
BTWy, my device is rooted and bootloader unlocked.
Thanx for any guidance you may lend me, I´m at work and cannot dwelve deep into hundreds of threads. I have already downloaded Blur_Version.210.12.40.falcon_umts.Brasil.en.BR.zip the official Motorola 5.0.2.
Thanks!!

you need the 4.4.4 firmware first and mfastboot v2 files to go back to stock motorola firmware.
and since you updated to 5.0.1 GPE, your bootloader has been updated, so when you downgrade to 4.4.4, you will see screen flickers.
Here are the commands,you must enter these commands one by one using command prompt (hold shift, and right click and choose open command window here) in the folder where the firmware files are (including the mfastboot files)
connect your phone to the computer with usb cable and type the command to go into the bootloader
adb reboot bootloader
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
and you need this firmware to be installed first before installing the lollipop update
XT1032_RETAIL-BR-SS_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_42_cid12_CFC_1FF

Thanx!
Well thank.you sir, very informative response.
Just to be super super-sure, no need to un-root or lock the bootloader right?

Hello guys I would like to do the same, I have the Gpe and install Motorola 5.0.2, but before I want to know how to fix the flicker screen, I don't get it using android but when I'm on twrp, it's annoying, do you have any idea how to fix it?
Sent from my XT1058 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

nice!
So i´ve flashed 5.0.2, with the method described here, it was *too* easy.
I did not, how ever, get the flickering screen bug...
So thanks again. and this is a safe way to go from gpe 5.0.1 to moto 5.0.2.

[q] moto g - soft-bricked!

I've been reading forums on here all day and nothing seems to match my problem down to the letter.
Here is my problem, I thought this morning it would be fun to upgrade my Moto G, was rooted on Kit Kat (perfectly fine -_-) to Lollipop. I followed a tutorial with great feedback and thought what could go wrong? Turns out everything could go wrong and after following every step perfect, my phone was bricked. It just displayed the Warning: Bootloader Unlocked screen and does nothing else.
I'm able to get in to recovery, have all the ADB tools installed, tried every tutorial, non-stop, the entire day and nothing is working.
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
When I type almost any of these commands I'm met with this: "error: cannot load 'gpt.bin': No error" not just for gpt.bin though, for anything? Althought these commands worked fine when bricking my phone
My phone is a single sim XT1032 Moto G. Can someone please help? I just want my phone fixed. I don't care if I never have to have Lollipop on it, it was fine the way it was and wish I'd just left it that way.

What lollipop ROM are you trying to flash? The gpe ROM uses a slightly different file format than a retail lollipop ROM.

[Q] XT 1039 from O2 Store in August - Reboot Loop, android with spinning cogs.

Good Afternoon all at XDA,
Hoping that somebody here will be able to help me. In december I unlocked my bootloader using some instructions found on your website.
This allowed me to install some apps that weren't available via google play and this worked great.
However, I finally got tired of not being able to use Online Banking apps with my unlocked bootloader, so decided to revert to the factory moto g image which I backed up before unlocking.
This left me stuck in a reboot loop. between the unlocked bootloader warning and an android with spinning metal cogs in its chest.
I tried some other images, found on this site, but was left either in a reboot loop, or with the Moto logo, and the phone occasionally emitting a vibrate every couple of seconds.
I have tried loading the images using the built in Motorola recovery and/or clockworkmod recovery.
The outcome has been the same or similar either a reboot loop or stuck on moto logo occasionally chirping the vibrate.
I feel like XT1039 is not the full model number of my phone, or that I'm missing something else.
Please could someone shed some light on which Rom I should be using, and a step by step of how to get my phone back to life.
Many Thanks
Vinny

This is the firmware you need to download: http://www.filefactory.com/file/7df...S_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.56-1_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
Then follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
You need to perform the pre-requisites and steps 1,2,3b (This will restore to fully stock and delete any data you have on the phone)
In step 3b enter the following commands instead of the ones in the guide:
Code:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
Good luck!

[Q] Software status modified ? [SOLVED] IT IS OFFICIAL !

My phones' bootloader report " software status : modified " is there any way to revert it back to OFFFICAL ? Not rooted, no custom recovery, running bone stock motorola firmware flashed with RSD Lite but still it shows as " modified ". My phone was never able to take an OTA as well. Bootloader unlocked, puerto rico xt1225 flashed to brazil firmware. Any help to get this status into OFFICAL again will be appriciated.
ps : flashed puerto rico 5.0.2 firmware with rsd, wiped cache and factory resetted but still it shows " modified " grrr.

have you try via command in fastboot?
the commands are inside of the file flashfile.xml translating it become:
Code:
mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img
mfastboot flash radio radio.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot erase clogo
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear
mfastboot reboot
i use mfastboot and put all the file of the XML rom in that folder mfastboot folder.
you need to check the file flashfile.xml or the files to see how many system.img_sparsechunk.# you have to change how many command (mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.#) you will give, the 4.4.4 have 5 the 5.0.2 have 8, but it may be different in yours.
I did not check the last time i did the commands to see if i was on OFFICIAL, but it should work.
In the brazilian forum the guys say if you did the process to flash back the 4.4.4 after the device been 5.x.x, you will not be able to flash the file gpt.bin but you will be able to receive the OTA of 5.0.2 and install it after the install the OFFICIAL appears.
Here i'm able to flash all the files all the commands are accepted when flash the 5.0.2 stock but when i try 4.4.4 the gpt.bin doesn't accept, unfortunately i did not check to see the software status after the 5.0.2.
I will make a test if you not successful because i wanna to know if is possible, but flashing xml stock ROM erase internal memory and right now i have too many files on the device that need to backup and have no time.
If it work out to you post in here :good:

Thank you for your detailed post. I tried to flash the phone with these commands one by one, it was all successful until sparsechunk 5 and 6 and 7 . These images didn't flash and failed with preflash validation errors but for strange reasons it flashes fine with RSD Lite. I am assuming that the factory image i was trying to flash was " Retail Brazil " one but my phone is Puerto Rican, so i am downloading 5.0.2 of puerto rico firmware and try again. I will let you know about the outcome.
edit : i could execute all commands successfully with puerto rico 5.0.2 image but it still show as modified.

Ok. I will flash my device to stock today, i doing some tests in TWRP and have erase internal memory, my device is empty i can flash stock without worry about lose data...
My stock xml rom 5.0.2 from Brazili, flash all good with those commands, they all are accepted. The img_sparsechunk are related to the file with the same name they only give a error if the file is not there or have a different name, the stock 4.4.4 doesn't have img_sparsechunk 5 to 7.
Are you shore you have the 5.0.2 original untouched?
later today i put here my result...

i did it...
Is necessary to donwoad a ROM that will received a OTA this will:
Brasil Retail Stock Lollipop 5.0.2 /// QUARK_RETBR_5.0.2_LXG22.33-12.13_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
do the commands i posted before
this:
mfastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img
is not need unless you are upgrading from 4.4.4 to 5.x.x via fastboot for the first time.
in a downgrade don't use too...
Then after the device boot it will received the ota (only 15mb if you use that ROM) you accept after the download and install go back to bootloader and it will be change to Official, doesn't need to official to be show to install a OTA, just a original xml ROM installed.

i did exactly the same commands but brazil 5.0.2 sparsechunk 5 6 7 gave preflash validaton errors. So, i was successfull to flash all images of puerto rico 5.0.2 . There is some region information embedded in our phones even if it is flashed to other regions, phone still knows its origin. i will do as you said and flash 4.4.4 of pr and take ota on top of it.

The OTA update did the trick after flashing the official.
