[Q] About Unlocking Bootlader and flashing ROMs

Hi, my question is whether it is really necessary to unlock bootloader (because i will avoid the warranty from motorola, 1 week from purchase) to flash via fastboot XT1040_PEREGRINE_RETBR_5.1_LPB23.13-8_cid12_CFC.xml (posted in the thread for stock firmwares), I have XT1040 from Argentina. I read that there is no need to unlock bootloader if we are flashing ROMs from the same region, is that true? Thank you and sorry for my bad english.

You do not need a unlocked bootloader to flash stock firmware.

Code:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin

Make sure you backup your data as running 'mfastboot erase userdata' will delete all your personal files (photos, videos, etc.)

In Internal Storage. External SD will not be touch, right? This step (mfastboot erase userdata) can be skiped?

Correct, it does not touch the external SD. (I always remove mine anyway just in case)
You can skip 'mfastboot erase userdata', although this is known to sometimes cause problems.

XT1034 Stuck in bootloop

Hey guys. A while back I tried to flash 5.0.1 on my moto g. Some errors popped up when it started up. I cant remember exactly what it was but I went back to recovery and rebooted and now im in a boot loop. Im just trying to get back to stock seeing as I wont be using this phone as a phone but more as a media device. Its has TWRP 2.8.4.0 and my computer recognizes it as XT1034 when Im in twrp but when its in fastboot its recognized as a falcon device. I tried using this guide here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219" But it just sits at "waiting for device" in the command prompt. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Install the correct drivers for your PC from here:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
and then reflash the latest software for your phone. Download your firmware from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/index-moto-g-falcon-factory-firmware-t3110795
after you downloaded the firmware and installed mfastboot and adb drivers corectly open a command prompt window with this option:
Open the folder where you extracted the firmware (where you can find gpt,boot, recovery etc..) and right click with SHIFT button on your keyboard pressed down and you'il find an options open a command prompt window here and click on it now paste and enter this commands:
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
Now your phone will boot

RSD flashing fail and rebooting to TWRP

I am facing two issues on XT1225. Currently I am on RR 7.x.x latest version. Earlier version I had India Stock 6.0.1.
1) It is getting booted to TWRP : (both normal reboot boot) When switched off and swtiched ON it goes directly to TWRP, from there I would need to START Android.
2) My stock RSD (Ver: 6.2.4) flashing is getting failed with error 3/22 gbt.bin
Could anyone help me with this.

Try omitting gpt.bin file.

If you have struck with bootloader and your android is not booting after taking OTA since you had TWRP. Better option is to recover back to stock. Samething happened in my case and ChazzMatt guided me to recover it. There are two methods (which I know) to flash stock ROM, one is flash ZIP ROM (https://goo.gl/lV2WX4) with RSD and second option Unzip file and run below commands. you should have mfastboot ADB commands copied to same unzip folder. Once you boot to Stock android, you can take OTA backup and get installed before rooting and installing TWRP.
You would get two OTA updates if you are coming from 24.201.7, Currently my android system version is 24.211.7

Trying to reload stock firmware for xt1039 but failing

Hi Everyone,
I am a newbie, therefore I do not have much experience with some of the softwares.
The other day my son dropped his Motorola Moto G first gen XT1039.
This is an australian model.
When I tried to turn it on, it came up with a black screen.
So I thought I will wipe the cache partition, but I was not able to go into recovery, because it was stuck in a boot loop.
Finally I managed to unlock my boot loader going via the motorola site.
I have downloaded mfastboot-v2.zip which I extracted to a folder called adb on my c drive.
Because the screen is showing as black/greyish, I was not able to determine which firmware version it had on it, it could be jellybean or kitkat.
So I decided to download the firmware (XT1039_PEREGRINE_VFEU_5.1_LPBS23.13-17.3-1_cid7_CFC.xml.zip I hope it is the right one) in order to flash the phone from scratch. I extract the firmware to the folder containing mfastboot.exe.
I then connect the phone with the usb cable to my computer, go into boot mode selection using power+volume down for 3 second, then my adb interface shows up under device manager. At this stage I am ready to flash.
Then I issue the following commands:
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
Everything executes successfully, but when I reboot the phone, I still have the black/greysh screen.
Any ideas? I need help.
Thank you
Best regards
alfred56

Any takers?
