[Q] Flashing stock rom error - Moto g - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please help, i tried to install cyanogenmod 12 in my moto g, but because of and error with the ui stopping working i tried to back up, to find that i couldn't because of this error:
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
This happend when trying to flash gpt.bin and motoboot.bin, everything else flashed fine.
If someone out there could help me fix this problem i will be very thankfull.
Thanks.
(sorry for my bad inglish, im not an inglish speaker)

Which moto g do you have? What is your bootloader version?
The motoboot file probably isn't flashing because you're trying to load an older bootloader.

[question] Bootloader loop

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?

When you flash the firmware image - what is happening? Provide a log (copy and paste fastboot screen)

The amazing thing is that the retail 5.0.2 xt1032 us not give me error in any of the commands but whatever the Moto g remains in bootloop
Unlocking Bootloader can sometimes resolve the 'Preflash validation' error. Corrupt emmc is the likely cause of your problems and probably unsolvable at this time. You can however - unlock bootloader - boot into TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img) and try flashing a custom ROM zip.

I get that twrp.img is not a recognized command
Copy and paste fully any fastboot errors. Latest version of TWRP is here:

Bootloader unlocking may resolve this. Try to not flash motoboot.img (Bootloader) - as it is dangerous and not even necessary.

you can not flash motoboot and a partition table from an older firmware if you already have a newer one i think (downgrade)

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
