Moto G Flash Stock Firmware Problem!! - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, so i have a Moto G XT1032 from Telus. Not too long ago i decided to root it (bad idea). Later on i decided that i don't want the root anymore and decided to unroot it. I thought i succeeded but when time came to update from Android 4.4.4 to 5.0 i proved myself wrong. When Android 5.0 started to install, it was installing through CWM and it was ending up giving me a error. I wanted to get rid of CWM and searched up some tutorials and ended up finding out that i have to flash my phone back to stock firmware. I flashed the wrong firmware and ended up converting my XT1032 to XT1033 Dual-Sim. I then found the good Telus firmware for my XT1032 but when i flashed it and connect my phone to my pc, my pc says that a XT1033 is connected. I'm also not able to lock bootloader, it gives me "bootloader sst lock failure". So please help me!
-Thank You

Did you flash the 4.4.4 firmware? Did you flash all partitions manually? No need to lock the bootloader to get the OTA update.

Yes i flashed the 4.4.4 firmware XT1032_TELUS-CA_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.50_52_cid14_CFC_1FF.xml.
By flashing all partitions manually, do you mean this?
mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot.exe erase modemst1
mfastboot.exe erase modemst2
mfastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot.exe erase cache
mfastboot.exe erase userdata
Then yes.

Which bootloader version is on your phone? All partitions flashed without issue?

Boot into fastboot on the phone and look at the top. It will be 41.xx

TWRP is a custom recovery (like CWM) that will let you flash .zips, and do other things like wipe data partition, system partition, etc.
You can download it here
If you have TeamViewer I can help you :highfive:

You have the LP bootloader which is 41.18.
You didn't get an error trying to flash the motoboot.img file?

If it downgraded the bootloader while flashing KK, you would not have a 41.18 bootloader.

Should i try re-flashing it and tell you if i get any issues?

Try flashing just the motoboot file and let me know if it goes through. If it does and you are still on the 41.18 bootloader, that indicates to me that you're re-flashing the same bootloader.

The bootloader is not flashing because you are trying to downgrade from 41.18 to 41.13.
Do you receive any error messages when flashing the rest of the ROM?

[Q] XT1032 GB Retail - lollipop gpe back to f2fs based stock kitkat?

I had a dabble with the GPE ext4 lollipop on my GB XT1032 but found I cannot re lock my bootloader so would like to go back to stock f2fs 4.4.4 kitkat.
Im currently downloading XT1032_RETAIL-GB_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip and was planning to go back with fastboot with the following commands:
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_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
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
After reading up before attempting this i'm understanding that if you go back to 4.4.3 you will brick on the next ota.
If I was to flash the gpt and bootloader from 4.4.4 as above i'm guessing that if it succeeds then the next ota being lollipop should go ok?
If anyone has tried the above and then got the 5.x ota and it worked out fine would be helpful to hear how you got it to work.
Thanks!
Before anything else, try formatting 'Data' to f2fs in custom recovery and flashing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-titan-rom-single-sim-t3004757
I'll install twrp and have a go at formatting f2fs.......
Is there a reason for flashing the rom in the link first?
hmmm? I was thinking if i was to flash the gpt.bin from a stock moto rom then this would setup the partitions as f2fs anyway before proceeding onto the next components to flash?
Yes, you are correct; flashing gpt.bin will do as you say. I was suggesting you avoid fastboot if possible - to minimize the risk of bricking.

I had a go at flashing and everything went ok and it boots up fine but the display is acting like it has a scan line scrolling down the screen!
When I flashed everything flashed ok apart from motoboot.img which gave me the following error:-

motoboot.img is the Bootloader. Don't try flashing it again.
boot.img is the Kernel. Does the scan-line go away if you turn screen off and on?

I'll leave the bootloader alone then like you recommend. Would be just my luck to invoke the straw that broke the camels back!
I performed all my updates with the play store and found an update for 'Motorola boot services' which I applied. Don't know if this is related but when I rebooted everything is now OK with the scan line gone.
Im going to leave alone for now, and when the lollipop update turns up will look again at relocking my bootloader.
Thanks for your help!

Every time you apply an OTA Update there is a risk of brick. I would suggest you are ready, flash a ROM zip for Lollipop instead via Custom Recovery. They are available in beta form at the moment in /Development - and Final ROMs will be available in the near future.

So is there any other way that i can install this OTA. Without messing above configuration ?
Flash the stock recovery . Unroot your phone (there is an option in SuperSU). Flash OTA update through stock recovery. To root again, flash philz recovery, reboot from recovery. You will get an option to disable recovery flash and install SU binaries. Choose yes for both and install SuperSU from the playstore. You will be on rooted 5.0.2 now.
today i downloaded the ota and while it was being insatalled about 25 % the screen displayed "error" and the device booted up and it said update unsuccessful....
what to do.......... unlocked bootloader + UNrooted moto g xt1033....

Reflash the ASian XT1033 4.4.4 firmware and try again. There are numerous guides regarding this OTA flashing business in the general section. You might want to check them out.

is recomended to do a factory reset before a clean install, if you dont want to do this, you can try to flash without factory reset, but if the flash fail, you must do a factory reset....when you root the phone some libs files is modified

No sim status after erasing modemst

Hi,
I was running CM12(5.0.2) on my xt1032 US GSM. I read in some thread for moto G 2014 that erasing modemst1 and modemst2 from bootloader fixed the no GPS fix. so i tried it in my moto g 2013 and after rebooting there is no network status. when i insert other sims, it shows no sim card. How can i fix this?
Thanks in advance
Download XT1032 Retail US 5.0.2 Lollipop Firmware image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/index-moto-g-falcon-factory-firmware-t3110795

I did that but it didnt solve the problem
Just FTR, erasing modemst1/2 can lead to problems: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_victara/issues/1#issuecomment-96288956
The method mentioned in the link above worked for me in this situation:
- newly bought xt1039
- ota updated to 5.1
- no gps activation in stock rom ever
- unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp
- backup of stock rom
- flashed cm12.1
- no gps lock
- restored stock rom from backup
- activated gps and got a lock
- re-flashed cm12.1
- gps works

The result is same. Still no network. My phone is even detecting the network name i'm in, but the signal bar is absolutely empty. Pressing and holding the power button gives the impression that its on ariplane mode, but turning the airplane mode off from there makes no effect. Please check the attached images. I'm really puzzled at this moment.....

Did you have Network connectivity in CM12.1 prior to flashing the GPS fix? Link me to the zip if possible.
I thought recent versions of CM12 required the Lollipop Bootloader to even boot?

Yes, prior to attempting to solve that GPS problem i had full network/data connectivity on both GSM and HSPA on my operator. Only after trying to do modemst 1 & 2 clearing i am facing this problem. And yes, my CM 12 version is quite old. 20150322-NIGHTLY to be specific.
I didnt update to the later nightlys which required the up to date bootloader.

Can you try doing a clean install of the ROM? Alternatively flash via mfastboot the entire Stock 4.4.4 Firmware files, excluding: motoboot.img and recovery.img - you could then wipe and flash CM12 if all was working.

Okay, i will try to flash the 4.4.4 image i have, but i have never updated bootloader. Should i still avoid motoboot and recovery?

It's dangerous to repeatedly flash the Bootloader (motoboot.img) - even if it is the KitKat one. And skipping recovery will mean you remain with current custom recovery.

makes sense! i will try to revert back to 4.4.4 and keep things posted...
Flashing stock 4.4.4 brought back the network!
but when i was flashing the stock firmware, first i avoided flashing motoboot.img. That resulted in failing to erase userdata later on and ultimately resulting in "utag flash fail" and stuck in bootloader. Eventually flashing everything resulted in restoring stock firmware and now i have network again!

I should have stated to do the commands manually, one at a time - rather than using the included script.

Just saved my a**! Had a dead baseband. I somehow wrecked my modem on my XT1039. I downloaded a stock rom and used your commands and it worked like a charm! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Hello. I have the same issue... No sim/ network. I used mfastboot commands and fully restored to an unrooted stock XT1032 lollipop ROM. The confusing thing is that I still have no network. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Edit:
I used the downgrade to 4.4 thread... Ran the bat file and I'm back in business. The quick YouTube video walks you through the steps.

Stuck at Motorola Bootlogo after Security update

Device: XT1031 converted to XT1028 for use on Page Plus. Bootloader unlocked. Rooted with SuperSU 2.46 Running Stock Verizon 5.1 ROM 221.26.7.falcon_cdma.Verizon.en.US
Recovery: TWRP 2.8.7.0
I accepted the new security update - http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/moto-g-1st-gen-actually-security-update-t3362323
and when it tried to install the update, the phone just rebooted into TWRP Recovery.
So I flashed stock recovery from the Verizon 5.1 ROM and then tried the update again. This time it completed the update and rebooted but is now stuck at the Motorola bootlogo.
I'm able to reboot into fastboot.
I tried flashing system.img_sparsechunk.0, .1, .2, and .3, and rebooted but there is no change.
What can I try to get past this?
Before starting this I made a backup using TWRP Recovery, can I reinstall TWRP and restore that backup?
it would help to see a log of the flashing process. Copy and paste command prompt screen. Take screenshots if necessary.

If the TWRP backup is still on phone, it might be worth transferring it to a PC / external OTG usb drive, as using the following fastboot command will erase it, along with everything else on internal storage:
fastboot command erase userdata​

The TWRP backup was saved to an external OTG USB drive, so that's safe.
I was originally going to do the same as I did for the last update - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63976723&postcount=109 but tried it first and when it went straight to recovery, I figured I needed to flash stock recovery. I also figured I needed to flash system also, but it through me off when the sparsechunks were numbered 0 - 3 instead of 1 - 4.
I didn't see any errors when I did the flashes.
Right now my battery is drained all the way to 0%. Hopefully it charges back up.
I appreciate the response. Thanks.
Do all fastboot commands including erase userdata. Change sparsechunk names to match the files in the firmware folder you have downloaded. Phone should charge on fastboot screen, but probably not if at a very low percentage.

I'm using this stock ROM: XT1028_FALCON_VERIZON_5.1_LPB23.13-33.7_cid2_CFC.xml.zip
The sparsechunk files in that zip are named:
system.img_sparsechunk.0
system.img_sparsechunk.1
system.img_sparsechunk.2
system.img_sparsechunk.3
and I need to rename them:
system.img_sparsechunk1
system.img_sparsechunk2
system.img_sparsechunk3
system.img_sparsechunk4
Correct?
Then I would run the following commands one at a time and checking for an OK on each, correct?
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk4
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
After that I can check that I can boot into the OS and then I can flash TWRP and restore my saved backup.
Does that sound right?
Thanks.
Don't rename the sparsechunk files. I said change the name when doing the fastboot commands.
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​
Edit: Use mfastboot: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347778493

OK, that worked. I was able to flash back to the stock ROM.
I'm wondering if there would be any issue if I were to flash TWRP recovery and restore my saved backup?
Thanks for your help.

I don't personally restore TWRP backups because of bad experiences, but as long as you are using the latest available TWRP you should be okay.

I decided to start over and not try to recover from the saved file. I don't think there was anything on there that I really needed anyway. All my pictures and stuff was synced to Google.
I'm guessing that I ran into a problem by not flashing the 4 system sparsechunks from the stock ROM to remove root and I wasn't able to flash the same 5.1 that I had on there since it was updated. Flashing the latest newer build Verizon ROM worked because it was the same as what was contained in the update.
I didn't receive another OTA update and system update shows my phone as up to date with:
Android version: 5.1
Android security patch level: 2016-03-01
System version: 221.201.2.falcon_cdma.Verizon.en.US
Build number: LPBS23.13-33.7-2
I'm back to having a working phone. Thanks for your help. Hopefully this will help others too.
