I had Lollipop and after doing a reset, it was stuck on boot animation. I have successfully downgraded to stock 4.4.4 using fastboot and I didn't flash gpt.bin, motoboot.img and logo.bin while doing so.
Now I want Lollipop again but I don't know what should I do-- whether to simply place the OTA on SD card and get it detected or flashing the TWRP-flashable LP zip? I wonder if following the native OTA method will brick the phone, I'm scared
Sir,
You must give us more details about your device.
Thanks

What bootloader do you have? 4.3 or 4.4?
I have a MotoG BoostMobile, and TWRP 2.6.3.3 would work only on 4.3, with 4.4 it freezes.
Make sure you go back to 4.3 bootloader and install, CMW 6.0.4.7. TWRP has touch issues..
Good luck!
hey mate no how I go to 4.3?? there Is no os In the phone

Get those 3 files, and rename mfastboot.zip to mfastboot.exe
Then set the phone to Download mode and in a command prompt (same dir as the 2 files) type: mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
Be sure to use only mfastboot and not fastboot. This will flash the Android 4.3 bootloader.
Then use fastboot to install CWM: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-falcon.img
Reboot into recovery, and you should be able to use adb push or adb sideload to load a ROM of your choice (Preferably the latest CM11).
Good luck!
********** UPDATE ***************
I just tested CWM 6.0.4.7 and it does work with the 4.4 Bootloader!
So I don't think you need to revert to 4.3 bootloader if you are on 4.4 already!
Hello everyone
I am new here.
I need some assistance with my moto g.
I previously unlocked my Moto G's bootloader but realised that I just wanted it on stock and locked so I didn't damage it, so I managed to relock my
phone's bootloader and got it back to a stock rom.
After installing a system update a few days ago, my phone came back with the
"Warning - bootloader unlocked!" logo after installing a system update.
So I decided to try and reflash the stock firmware and original logo.bin from the XDA Site.
However, my flashes are failing and my moto g is stuck in a bootloop with no rom to boot up to, I have adb minimal fastboot and motorola drivers
/ adb drivers installed.
What happens: I power on the phone into bootloader mode, then I try to flash the ROM I got from droid-developers site, but whenever I try to relock
my bootloader it shows the following:
...
Ready to flash signed images!
OK: (time)
I do fastboot flash partition gpt.bin and I get:
Preflash validation failed!
SST lock failure!
Also trying to issue the command to relock the bootloader gives me
SST lock failure!
I get other errors too when flashing the sparsechunk images, it gives: Invalid PIV signed image! and for motoboot and boot images it gives: Preflash validation failed!
version downgraded for boot.
etc
I cannot recover my stock rom due to these errors, I've searched everywhere (on google) and here and I am desperate to flash the stock rom back and relock bootloader again so I can use the phone.
I am really stuck and my phone will not get out of a bootloop
Any help is really much appreciated as I need to get my phone working so I can use it
You don't need to relock the bootloader. Just follow this tutorial:

I followed the tutorial, but when I get to the flashing stage, I get:
Preflash validation failed,
SST lock failure!
And version downraded for gpt.bin
it seems to be failing to flash these files.
What do I need to do?
You need to provide more information for people to help you. Have you upgraded to 4.4.4?
I had a similar issue when rooting my phone, and all I had to do was unplug the phone from the computer, restart the phone and computer, and then try again.

But did you downgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2?
What model do you have?
Can you explain us all the steps?
Thanks
First unlock your bootloader again. You have to downgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.4.3 then to 4.4.2. During the downgrades you have to follow the same kind of firmware (example: 4.4.4 retail EU -> 4.4.3 retail EU -> 4.4.2 retail EU). When you're done if you want you can relock the bootloader.
My MOTO G (XT1032) IS BRICKED
I was running Android 4.4.4 official stock rom. I decided to remove everything and flash android 4.4.2 stock rom.
So I was failing to flash motoboot.img. I tried everything but it dindt work. I then deleted everything, system cache etc through recovery and still the same error: Failed to flash motoboot.img
And when I try other UNBRICK tutorials you need adb working (to place an custom rom via adb to /sdcard. The problem is ADB is not working when I type in adb devices I get: List of devices attached. but I can't see my phone's ID. Its is just empty.
So fastboot is working (when I type in fastboot devices I get the phones ID), But ADB is not working.
How to solve this huge problem??
Thanks in advance.

Are you using adb while you are in recovery? It won't work in fastboot mode.
No I'm using fastboot, but problem already solved. The problem was with the files gpt.bin and motoboot.img. All the other files from stock rom are flashing correctly.
So I downloaded 4.4.4 Stock Rom (Verizon US version) and copied gpt.bin and motoboot.img from there and pasted in the 4.4.2 Stock Rom folder. Then I flashed all files and it worked !
Hey guys
First of all: I think, I ****ed up.
So I was on a custom 5.0.2 Rom and it was really buggy (forceclose, lowmemory, etc.) and so I decided,
that it would be a good idea to go back to stock and flash Slimrom. As far, as I remember, I did the following:
1. Go into my custom recovery and delete everything (I know, I'm an idiot :crying: )
2. Go into fastboot and flash 4.4.4 via a script on my PC
3. Get problems, which I somehow resolve (pls don't ask me, how. I was pretty drunk last night.)
4. 4.4.4 is up and running. I download the stock 5.0.2 OTA files form XDA and try to flash them with TWM.
5. Everything is super buggy under 5.0.2, so I decide to flash back 4.4.4 and use the stock recovery.
6. 5.0.2 runs just fine and I begin to prepare for the custom Slimrom.
7. Install custom recovery, download Slimrom and GApps.
8. Flash Slimrom and get some weird error, that /system and /date can't be mounted. Everything ****ed up from there on...
9. Try to flash the stock 4.4.4 from before (using the script). Doesn't work, gets stuck on bootloader unlocked messege.
10. Try random **** (literally everything, I can find on the web.)
11. Write this post.
Some information, you could need:
XT1032
Fastboot version: 41.18
Unlocked (Status Code: 3)
Boots into recovery
Recovery is TWM 2.8.6.0
Things, I've tried: Flash the stock 4.4.4 system and then flash a custom rom, using TWM Didn't work
Reflash the stock "Kernel Module", found under /showthread.php?t=2649763 Didn't work
Flash an alternate "bootloader unlocked" Screen Didn't work
Please help me, guys :fingers-crossed:
Did you try manually flashing each partition for the 4.4.4 stock ROM? Since you are on a 41.18 bootloader, you should be able to flash every file except motoboot.

First of all, thank you for your quick response!
I was able to flash everything without any errors, but unfortunately, it is still stuck on the Warning screen.
Did you erase cache and userdata in fastboot?

Yes, but it did not help
Edit: it gives me an error, when flashing gpt.bin.
it says:
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
So all files flahed except motoboot and gpt? The motoboot file from the stock 4.4.4 flash won't install becuase the 4.4.4 bootloader is older than the bootloader currently installed on your phone.
Even if the gpt.bin file doesn't flash, it doesn't always prevent the phone from booting a stock ROM.
Was the 5.02 ROM the GPE?

When trying to flash the motoboot.img, it says "permission denied" and when trying to flash the gpt.bin, it says "(bootloader) Preflash validation failed FAILED (remote failure)".
The 5.0.2 ROM was the OTA update, which in my case, is the normal motorola one. I did convert my device to a GPE, when Lollipop for the moto G GPE became availible (arround december),
but went back to the normal ROM to get the 5.0.2 OTA.
Thank you for your help :laugh:
Ok, I have used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-4-4-4-stock-eu-1-click-easy-flash-t2879757 and i'm back in Stock 4.4.4. I have got no idea, how that worked but it's done
That's great that it worked.
If you want to get 5.02 OTA update, be sure to update Motorola Update Services app in the Play store before checking for updates.
