How to fix XT1032 Boot loop after factory reset

Hi,
after an apparently failed attempt to install the 5.0 OTA update my XT1032 now will boot to a droid lying on its back.
I went to the recovery from there (by pressing VolUp+Power) and did the "factory reset/wipe data" and rebooted.
Same result.
I did "wipe chache". Same result: Droid lying on its back, saying "Kein Befehl" (I guess that means "no command")
I can get into recovery mode (CWM was installed before all this*) so I could try to flash stuff from outside.
But what should I try to flash? I tried flashing a (supposedly) stock system but as soon as I start with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" the phone starts booting again. So I am not really sure what to do now.
Something is seriously wrong with this phone and I would like to restore it to stock settings. I bought it on amazon.DE - so if any one of you guys knows where I could find a truly original stock image for this phone and what to do with it, please let me know.
PS: Right now I can't even get into recovery anymore. The thing just keeps booting and booting. Can't even turn it off.
* meaning: before I flashed the supposed stock recovery that apparently, in combination with the OTA update, got me into this mess

I now followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47820707#post47820707
I used option 3b with a 4.4.4 rom ( RETAIL-DE_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF )
I excuted all these commands. However, upon flashing the boot.img the phone immediately boots (and gets stuck).
So I re-entered fastboot again to finish the job. Everything else went fine.
But the problem persists: When booting, the phone now displays the "Warning: Bootloader unlocked" message for a long time, with a kind of water ripple effect from bottom to top, repeating.
When I switch it off, it switches back on automatically, trying to boot and getting stuck at this screen. Sometimes I get to the droid lying on its back with a red !-Triangle on top. Poor little bugger. Soft bricked.
What can I do to fix this?
I can still enter fastboot.
I assume that yet again I grabbed the wrong ROM.
Is this supposed to be dead? http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14

I think you might be on lollipop bootloader as you are having a screen flickering issue & downgrading the boatloader might be dangerous.
I'm don't know whether it will solve your problem but try flashing a lollipop firmware.
I'm not allowed to post links. Google for XT 1032 lollipop firmware. I saw one in groupandroid website.
Download the firmware from the site & execute the given commands.

Thank you. I got that file.
"adb devices" won't find my phone, though.
"Fastboot devices" does. So I can't use "adb push ..." to move the ROM to the phone.
Also, whatever option I chose from the Fastboot Flash Mode, the phone starts to boot. So I can not "enter" Recovery.
Should I just use "fastboot update rom.zip"? I don't wan't to miss my last chance to revive this phone.

ADB commands will not work in with the phone fastboot mode.
Since fastboot commands do work, you can manually flash each partition from the stock ROM. Entering recovery isn't required to do this.

I had similar problems & this method worked for me everytime. Sorry I'm a new user & I cannot post the links.
You can search the forum & find the links.
I found a thread in "xda -> moto g general->[FIRMWARE][XT1032-XT1033] Firmware Lollipop Retail Brasil & Asia 5.0.2" by cristiand391. Download the firmware for your device. It will be in BRASIL_XT1032_5.0.2_LXB22.46-28_cid12_CFC.xml.zip. Extract the contents to the fastboot.exe folder where you use regularly. Run the commands in fastbootmode. Please be careful with the commands.

The problem here is that the phone will boot as soon as I flash the boot.img and the whole thing fails.
Do you see a way out of this situation?
Any way to do this with a .zip ROM?

Have you tried flashing different firmware such as the GPE for your phone?
Does boot.img flash properly? If it does, you could try installing TWRP, boot into TWRP, mount the data partition, and use your computer to copy a custom ROM to the phone fpr flashing.

@Fretchen
That might be because you are on lollipop bootloader & you are trying to flash kitkat bootloader?But I may be wrong. Previously you told that you tried restoring to kitkat & that boot.img is kitkat bootloader. Try with this lollipop firmware.

I now did exactly what legolas06 wrote, using "MoeMoe_BRASIL_XT1032_5.0.2_LXB22.46-28_cid12_CFC.xml"
There were "hab check fails" for recovery and boot but at least the device did not reboot upon flashing the boot.img.
I rebooted it and it is going further than ever before, all the Motorola animations were played but in the end the phone got stuck at the circular blue pool (water) with the bit Motorola 'M' plus the concentric water ripple effect.
I switched it off and on again and then it played through the animations, then updated the apps (total number: 9) and then started the system. Apparently it is working.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate your support.
Allow me thse final questions:
Can I from now on just apply OTA updates?
If not, what can I change to make this possible?
Is it advisable to install a EU Rom soon for whatever reason?

You flashed the stock firmware so everything should work again. OTA updates if available would work.

I don't know if you can apply OTA updates. Before the OTA update will work, you may need to update all Motorol apps via Play store.
You could wait until a fulkl stock lollipop pop is released for your phone and flash it using fastboot.
You can try different ROMs but stick to the ROMs made for your model. I have an xt1032 and I have installed US Retail, stock Telus, and GPE.

worked for me too, thank you soo much. give this solution a try

A Noob's Guide to upgrade Moto X Play to Marshmallow ;)

Before i begin, i would like to state that none of the files belong to me, they have been uploaded or provided by someone or other over the internet and i have given credit wherever it is due. If i forget somewhere and please lemme know, I'll fix it.
Note: This is tested only on Moto X Play XT1562 Indian version only. Others use this guide at their own risk. Currently Calls/Data do not work in X1562 as you loose the modem files on upgrade and flashing them back has no effect
First, Lets download the stuff we need at hand:
1) Stock Brasilian Firmware drive.google.com/open?id=0Bx1aljTBgTbATE9ISmNYZ3h2UGs From Yuri Martins @ androidpit.com
2) The Marshmallow update. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-MLCAZmmekxb2hOa3ppWTBFRjQ from estanenmi @ XDA
Steps:
1)Now Reboot in fastboot mode by turning off phone and turning it on by holding volume down and power button. Connect to PC, open the command prompt in ADM folder by using shift+right click on ADB folder and selecting open command prompt option.
2)Copy past all the line below as it is in the command prompt. Sit back and relax. It will take around 5 minutes.
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
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
3) Restart the phone, it will have Brasilian firmware. Go through the initial set up and connect to PC to copy the marshmallow update file in phone directory.
4) Again restart the bootloader of phone by turning it off and turning on by holding the volume down and power button. Here select the recovery option. It will show a dead android pic, press power button and quickly tap volume up. You will be in the stock recovery. There select the install update from SD card option. Select the update file and install. Beware it will take a lot of time and it would appear stuck at patching or verifying files (can't remember which one ) but dont worry, its normal. Once it is done, restart the phone and enjoy the yummy marshmallow.
P.S: Sorry if i missed any instructions, i know the community here will help out others. I was in a bit of hurry, getting very late for bed, will add more instructions and pics tomorrow.
Adios

Plz upload TWRP backup if possible

Will do that once i have a stable build running. Having trouble with getting sim card detected. I think i need to get the correct modem files for Indian version. Trying to find out correct files for the Dual Sim.

Yes you have to flash indian modem files... Just flash modem files of retail india firmware

Dont have them and cant find them. Can anyone share the files or upload them to their google drive. They are hardly 40mb, dont wanna download whole indian firmware of 1.2 gb for that :/

Hey I am using moto x play Indian Version. Can it upgraded to 6.0? What about warranty?

flash original brazilian firmware with rsd lite then update via stock recovery to marshmallow.
you doesnt need unlocked bootloader

Unable to get the sim to work in Marshmallow for Indian Moto X Play. Here are my findings. Could be useful for the tinkerers .
1) Install Indian ROM>Brasil ROM(no Sim)> Marshmallow (No Sim.)>Flash Indian modem = No Sim
2) Install Indian ROM> Brasil ROM without Brasil Modems (Sim works)> Marshmallow (No Sim)> Flash Indian modem = No Sim
3) Install Indian ROM>Brasil ROM> Flash Indian modem = No Sim

OK, so from everything I have read, this does NOT work correctly with the XT1562, in that modems do not work with this method, and thus no data or calls/sms. Should this not be given a big massive warning in the first post?

Done that. Thanks for pointing it out. Actually when i created the thread, I did not put my sim card in the phone thus had no idea about it. Its a shame though that everything else works flawlessly.

Did you used the method with four steps to change the modem?
Like:
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
Anyway think twice before upgrading with this method because usually on motorola phones you can't simply downgrade the firmware, many users in other forum sections faced some soft or even hard bricks trying to downgrade ( mainly bootloader and/or gpt )

Great, thanks. Ive been burned before a few times and left with expensive paperweights for phones from not reading all the comments and blindly updating. I make sure I know what Im heading into before flashing!

So... is anybody able to use his/her sim in europe (germany etc.) with this (brazilian) firmware with or without flashing the modem ?

AUSTRALIAN XT1572 guide to restore stock to get offical OTA 6.0 update

DISCLAIMER - if you have never rooted or flashed a phone in the past, please stop reading now. Don't even try this, you will probably brick your phone. This process complete replaces all OS components on your phone which can be hard to reverse if you don't know what you are doing. Proceed at your own risk! Backup and have a few roms handy to flash in case you mess up if the guide does not work for you. Make sure you have plenty of battery life before beginning.
This is a guide to restore to stock a Retail Asia (Australian Vodafone) Moto X Style XT1572 single sim phone.
I rooted and then flashed the EU single sim version rom of 6.0 a while ago, but now I wanted to go back to stock. Here is guide how. You will need your bootloader unlocked and developer mode on for USB debugging.
I believe the original Stock OS for the Retail Asia single sim Moto X style was 'X_Style_XT1572_CLARK_RETASIA_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18.1'. That is version 23.116-18.1. Retail Asia, NOT dual sim. The only reason to do this is you have an Australia/ Retail Asia handset and you flashed another rom on to it and want to go back to the Retail Asia single sim OTA update (Australian vodafone). If you have not messed with your phone you should not need to do this. But you could download the OS image as a future backup in case you ever want to back original stock rom the phone shipped with.
Google drive link - 'X_Style_XT1572_CLARK_RETASIA_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18.1 (1.4gb)
Once you have downloaded the zip, decompress it to a folder. Then using Command prompt or Terminal navigate to the folder. Make sure you have fastboot or mfastboot running properly (not sure why you need to use mfastboot but some do), boot in to the bootloader and beginning flashing the individual components of the zip file.
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
Once you reboot the phone you should be running the completely stock rom the phone come with. It will remove root and any custom recovery you might have installed. It will not relock the bootloader.
To get the OTA you need to be on the stock rom and NOT rooted. Once you reboot within seconds you should get an update notification to download the new 24.11.20 Android M 6.0 update. It is about 640mb.
I hope this helps.

Thanks
Was wondering when they would release the official update for retasia
Have reverted back to stock to download the OTA and also captured the OTA for single sim retasia. The version number on this is slightly newer than the Europe and US versions I have been using
edit: Link to retasia MM
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4G7mEPBaNoHckxCWWxnY0dzaVU/view?usp=sharing

Awesome! Thank you @Sensation_NZ. I tried to capture the OTA but for some reason my adb would flash but not rewrite anything from the device back. I have grabbed a copy for future use.

wondering if all Australian X Style handsets are Asian? or EU?

Thanks for the post... Just wondering if you could help me, where could I find the modem for the Australian version? Thank you

Never mind, it is included. "fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin" . Thank you very much for this post, life saver!

How did you capture the OTA?

Will this work for dual sim??

Great .. My 1st BootLoop ..
I followed this to the T .. And now it doesn't boot ...
Anyone know how to fix this so it works again, like back to Stock that works.?

I think you flashed Lolipop.

[FIRMWARE][GUIDE] Restoring the Moto E5 Play to Stock Factory State

Stock Android 8.0.0 Factory Firmware
Moto E5 Play (James) xt1921-5
Sprint/Virgin Mobile/Boost Mobile
WARNING: This stock Android 8.0.0 firmware package should not be used in an attempt to downgrade your device to an earlier firmware build. (While downgrading is possible, only the more advanced users should attempt it ) Use this firmware & guide only if your device has never been upgraded beyond Build No. OCP27.91-23. Attempting to downgrade your partition index (gpt.bin) or your bootloader partitions (bootloader.img) can result in a hard-bricked device -- and typically bricked beyond repair. By proceeding further, you are assuming sole responsibility for the integrity and functionality of your device, thus absolving me from any civil liability in the event your device becomes bricked, damaged, or otherwise inoperable.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Android Version: 8.0.0 Oreo
Build No. OCP27.91-23
Kernel Version: 3.18.71
Radio Version: M8920.11.54.11.41R
Security Patch Level: March 1, 2018
APPLICABILITY:
There are any number of reasons to use this restoration guide. If you are running a rooted device with system-based or systemless modifications to your Android OS, and you merely want to return to an unmodified stock configuration, this guide will accomplish that. If your device is soft bricked, stuck in a boot loop or is otherwise malfunctioning from a software standpoint, this guide will repair your phone. Or, perhaps you simply want to return to unmodified stock in order to install an OTA update. Again, this guide is for you.
RESTORATION/FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS:
This guide is written with the assumption that you have at least a rudimentary knowledge of AP Fastboot Mode and basic flashing commands. While this firmware can certainly be installed using RSD-Lite, mFastboot, etc., this guide aims at a basic fastboot installation. This procedure will erase all userdata stored on your device, enables dm-verity (device mapping), and enables default force encryption of the /userdata partition. Please make a backup of any data, files, media, etc. that you want to keep prior to proceeding. This process removes root binaries, BusyBox, root-dependent mods, and restores all OEM and carrier-specific bloatware. This guide also assumes that you have a recent version of the Minimal ADB & Fastboot utilities installed on your PC or laptop, as well as the proper USB device drivers.
1. Download the firmware package from the below link and extract the contents of the archive to your adb/fastboot directory on your PC;
2. Boot your device into AP Fastboot Mode by first powering down your device and then simultaneously holding the Power + Volume Down keys for around 8 seconds, until you see AP Fastboot Mode on your device display;
3. Connect your device to your PC using the OEM supplied or quality-equivalent micro USB to USB syncing cable;
4. Open a command window in the path of your adb/fastboot directory;
5. Enter this command:
fastboot devices
Press Enter/Return
If your device and PC are properly connected, an alpha-numeric string will appear in the command window synonomous to your device serial number;
6. After ensuring a proper connection, execute the following commands:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
7. Now reboot your device by entering:
fastboot reboot
Press Enter/Return
Upon reboot, your device should be fully restored to stock Android 8.0.0 firmware, Build No. OCP27.91-23, and your device will be fully capable of installing OTA update packages.

Ok. Try this. From the firmware package above, extract two files to your adb/fastboot directory -- NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn. Boot your device into fastboot mode, connect to your PC, and open a command window in your adb/fastboot path. Execute these commands in order:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot oem config fsg-id boost
fastboot oem config carrier boost
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Reboot by entering:
fastboot reboot
This process configures your radio firmware partitions for Boost Mobile, reinstalls your radio firmware, and resets all network configurations to the factory default settings. This will typically fix problems with the cell radio, signal strength issues, domestic roaming, no cell signal, etc. Let me know. We can try some different things if need be. Whatever your issue is caused from, just remember it is fixable. Frustrating for sure, but fixable.

Ok. Try this. From the firmware package above, extract two files to your adb/fastboot directory -- NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn. Boot your device into fastboot mode, connect to your PC, and open a command window in your adb/fastboot path. Execute these commands in order:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot oem config fsg-id boost
fastboot oem config carrier boost
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Reboot by entering:

No go. Whatever it is its causing the mobile radio power switch in the programming menu to keep reverting to the off position. if I try turning it on and running a ping it switches right back off.

Let me research this a bit. Are you running the latest OTA update? Build OCP27.91-23-3?

yeah I flashed the stock firmware this morning and took it over wifi.

Ok. I think I know the issue. Repeat the entire firmware restoration process again, just like you done previously, except this time skip gpt.mbn, adspso.bin and bootloader.img. Upon reboot your cell radio should work.

Still nothing. Except now it keeps trying to make me take the update again.

Lol. I have a third party warranty thank God. It covers it still. Maybe it's a write off.
Still a negative. now whenever I take the update and try the firmware without the pieces you instructed, it just tries to make me update again. But recovery is working again

When it prompted you to accept the OTA, did you accept and install it? Try that and see what happens. Yours is beginning to sound like a hardware issue.

yeah I accepted it every time. lol. Im thinking I may need to just replace it. I had issues with data when I first rooted it but that was my fault and I had it working again. Thank you for all your help.

@MotoJunkie01 Do you happen to have your hands on the Retus or Unlocked firmware for this model? (Moto E5, Play)

Who is your mobile provider? I have some firmware for the xt1944-3 but I believe it's the retail. Just added xt1944-3 firmware in my thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e5/how-to/firmware-moto-e5-xt1944-4-dual-sim-t3820901
