Hi, a few months ago i unlocked bootloader and rooted my Android 4.4.4 Moto G (locked to Tesco UK) and that was fine but then i went to lock it all again so i could get the OTA update for Android Lollipop.
This is where the problems began... I thought i found the write files to do it but then i discovered after that it was an US version so it wouldn't work with Tesco.
Today i went to roll it back again to a UK version but it doesn't seem to work.
I have all the files I think but I am getting errors such as 'Mismatched partition size' and 'Image file is too big'. I'm not the best with these things so any help would be much appreciated. I currently have a bricked phone so the sooner the better please. :good:
"Hab check failed for boot"
"Hab check failed for recovery"

My XT1032 from cricket was on 4.4.2. I tried updating it to 4.4.3 via retail rom. The bootloader is locked. Something was over written and now it will only boot to a screen with dead android with a red exclamation point and then into the USB loader page. The error is preflash validation failed from mfastboot. I have tried using a 4.4.2 and 4.4.3. I believe the retail version i tried to use was a 4.4.4. I have no idea how to get the bak to just stock cricket 4.4.2.
Please help gentlemen, I am at a loss. I have tried a number of roms now but everything in the rom upgrade list fails preflash validation? I dont know what to do?
Not Helping But
I did exactly what you did, multiple times. However, I caused no damage. In my case(s) my phone would start the update and fail after a while. The phone would reboot and be fine on 4.4.2. Maybe, sometime in the next year or so, Cricket will release the update so that others won't go through this.
Hello Android gurus
I tried to find the answer to my problem in the other threads, but I'm still not 100% sure if I should proceed.
. I had rooted xt1032 moto g prior to 5.0.2 OTA that came out yesterday.
I used full unroot with supersu prior to applying the OTA thinking it would be ok. I guess I screwed up, my phone is soft bricked.
I can get in stock recovery but otherwise it is on boot loop and ends up with 'no command'.
I have the moving line problem on the bootloader white screen which seems to imply a diferent version of kernel and bootloader, (which I do not full understand)
.. Which makes we wonder if it is unsafe to flash the stock rom 4.4.4 image of my phone.
And if it is safe, will I be able to update via OTA after that?
What are my options? Thanks in advance!
The moving line issue is probably due to the fact that you have the 41.18 bootloader on your phone.
I also have a Koodo xt1032 with the 41.18 bootloader and was able to flash back to stock Telus 4.4.4. Do not flash stock 4.4.2 as other XDA members have said that flashing 4.4.2 would brick your phone.
I'm checking for OTA updates but I keep getting the message that my phone's software is up to date.
While I was in my Team Win recovery in the section Advanced wiping I deleted everything even the system. Now my Moto X 2013 bought in France doesn't turn on anymore, it just displays the warning page that informs me that my bootloader is unlocked, from there I can just go in the recovery. I tried to reflash the stock french room of Android 4.4 (that I have already flashed successfully a while ago) from AP Fastboot using RSD lite, but this time it didn't work, on my phone is displaying this error:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT.
:crying:
I have searched on google if someone had this problem too and I have found that it is due to when you want to pass from a newer version of android to an older one for exale from 4.4 to 4.2 . I think this is true because before I wiped everything I had android lollipop 5.1 and now I am trying to install android 4.4 . If you agree with me and think that it is the problem could you please tell me where I can get the zip file of Android 5.1 (the file of the firmware) that I will have to install using AP Fastboot?
PS: Sorry for my bad English
Thank yo very much.:fingers-crossed:

Hi guys, I'm kinda lost by now.
I tried to root my Moto G 1st Gen today, but whenever it was supposed to reboot again after to rooting process, I got the "dead" android with the no command warning. So I tried to some alternatives with the only result that my phone is now stuck in a bootloop. Luckily I can still access the bootloader menu, but when I try flash back to the firmware, I get the hab "check failed for boot" and recovery message, with the result that it doesn't work and I'm still in the same situation. I guess I have the wrong firmware but I can't seem to find the correct 1st gen xt1034 firmware for a german phone.
So yeah, if you could help me, that would be reaaaaally great, and if you need some additional information, I'll try my best to find it out.
Cheers
Hi,
you are sure you have an xt1034 german phone? From what I read, the xt1034 is special to America, so you should find your answer here. Good luck on reviving your phone!
I was facing problems like lags and battery/memory leaks since i got my MOTO G (XT1032) updated to 5.0.2. Then i received 5.1 but no improvement. Unfortunately, my device not going to receive 5.1.1, then i decided to downgrade it to 4.4.4. But again, my brother updated it with OTA 5.0.2 and while installation it went all black. Just LED blink while charging or using key combinations but not getting bootloader/fastboot. It is completely dead. MOTO Care say we need to change motherboard but it's not an hardware issue. So please, if someone know what is the actual issue, kindly help me.

maybe because of bootloader..?
You flashed Bootloader repeatedly with different versions. OTA Updates also included Bootloader upgrade. You have hard-bricked your phone.
Motherboard does indeed need to be replaced, alternatively join all the other lost souls in this thread who have been waiting for almost a year for a fix:

1). What if I get it's "BOOT IC" (instead of whole motherboard) replaced for a new one ? Will it work?
2). And what does this mean "FAILED (blank-flash:sdl-transfer-image:sdl-hello:invalid HDLC frame)" ?

If no-one responds here, I suggest you ask your questions in the 'Hard-Brick' thread I linked to. Regarding, solution (1) - I've never heard it proposed before, but I'm no expert in this area.
Same problem((((
Moto G (XT1032/Falcon) - Unbrick
After a whole long disappointing year of trying hands on my Moto G to unbrick it, I found a thread to unbrick it and succesfully did it.
Here is the link to XDA thread which helped me recover my device : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-unbrick-moto-g-falcon-t3394788
If any of the Moto G user wants to recover his/her dead Moto G, he/she must visit the link given above.
I hope it will also work for you guys.
GOOD LUCK!!!
