Has anyone tried to flash the INT version system.img to LS996?
I remember flashing G Flex1 with any tot or KDZ without bricking the phone.
I wanted to know if any mod or standard user has tried to flash any variants system.img or rootedsystem.img to LS996.
Would be interesting cause when I crosdll´d the Flex1 (ls995) I had to flash back only boot and modem imgs to make things work.
If someone has a spare phone or wants to try it out it would be cool to let me know!
Thanks in advance.

So here I am worrying about bricking my device if I go back to stock.
Here is some insight-
I have an unlocked XT1032 US retail moto g running Cyanogenmod 11 m4 snapshot. I am also running clockworkmod recovery and everything is working fine. I have heard of many people bricking their devices when they try and flash stock because the version doesnt match up with the bootloader version or something like that. My bootloader version is reported to be 4111.5 (The bootloader menu version is 41.11) from the "fastboot getvar all". So if I want to flash stock firmware what version do I need to choose. (can someone give me a link to the download?) Also is there any easier way to do this, perhaps can someone give me a clockworkmod backup of stock firmware and i can flash it via restore in the recovery. Also is there a way to get .img files of my whole phone via the dd command on the superuser shell. (Someone please give me a list of those commands to make a full image of my phone) so I can restore incase something goes wrong.
So pretty much all in all can someone please give me a link to the correct stock firmware for my phone that I can flash with NO issues and a list of commands that I can use to flash.
And just wondering what is mfastboot and how is it different from fastboot.
I should have made a backup with cwm recovery before I installed cm11 but I forgot which is why I made this thread. ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED! THANKS!
hey try downloading stock firmware from this link http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=14&file=786

during flash gpt.bin it said preflash valadition failed and on the bootloader screen it said partition table downgraded. Used CWM backup to restore and my phone is functioning again but I am still not stock. Please tell me what I am doing wrong? I have attached a screenshot of the command prompt screen.
Q30: i encounter '(bootloader) Preflash validation failed' error message when flashing Firmware Image
You may have updated to Android 4.4.4 via firmware image or OTA update. In this case you now also have the latest version of the Bootloader. That is why you get the above output when attempting to flash a 4.4.2 firmware image. ==> simply flash 4.4.4 images instead.
If the error still occurs, even with a 4.4.4 firmware image, then unlocking bootloader will be necessary.

There is no 4.4.4 Retail US yet. You can flash 4.4.4 Retail EU just fine. Recovery flashable zip here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688
I have the retail us version though. She. Will the retail us 4.4.4 be available? And one important question when I do go back to stock 4.4.4 with the link you gave me via recovery, will my custom recovery get overwritten with the stock one?
XT1032 is a Global GSM model. you can flash an XT1032 ROM from anywhere in the world and it will work.
It's currently unknown when 4.4.4 US Retail will be available, but I do not think it will take too much longer.
Those zip files only include ROM and Kernel. Recovery will not be changed.
I'll be trying that tomorrow and I'll let you know if it works or not asap. But for now thanks!
You might also need to flash the 4.4.4 EU Retail radio zip available here:

I read somewhere that when you flash stock ROM even though the recovery is not being changed, the stock ROM will overwrite the custom recovery in start up.
Is this true?

Please help my phone is stuck in CWM recovery during the flash and I think the recovery is frozen. Can I hard reboot back to recovery or is my phone totaled? :crying:
This worked for me - http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...-gpe-4-4-4-t2824377/post55768571#post55768571. Once back to 'base' you can update to 4.4.4 OTA or flash another ROM. And if you get stuck again, re-run this process. Three downloads, a few scripts to run; double-click easy.
Good luck.
Back at stock, just had to give CWM 10mins! Thanks everyone!
Hey All,
I have a Moto G 2013 (1st gen I believe). A while back, I wanted to install lollipop without it being available so I flashed the Brazil 5.0 ROM. Now, for some reason it won't boot and I got my phone stuck in bootloader. I can go to TWRP and the bootloader mode right now. I'm not sure what version it is, but I think its the XT1032 (non-lte for sure) and I've used it on Bell, Canada
.
I'm trying to follow a guide to restore back to stock but im not sure which model I should be downloading the firmware for. Can anyone help?
I'm using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 and I tried a XT1032 ROM (Brazil) but when following the first command "mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin" didn't work. Should I just ignore this and move forward? I believe somewhere in the thread it said to ignore it but I'm not positive. Note: I dont want service, I want to use it as a glorified mp3 player for my car
Thanks in advance and any help is appreciated!
EDIT: I tried flashing a couple of roms in bootloader mode via adb from the aformentioned tutorial, but I keep getting errors when trying to flash the recovery, boot, partition, etc. Can anyone please help? Thanks.

It is strange that you can flash ROM in recovery but cant flash rec, my suggestion is checking your rec file,substitute with a Twrp rec and flash again. if success, you can try to flash a zip ROM.
Thankyou for the response! I appreciate it. Sorry, I should've been more clear. I was trying to flash official firmwares through bootloader, not roms. I tried flashing two different firmwares (XT1032, as per the barcode setting on my bootloader mode), and I keep getting errors when trying to flash using adb commands. It sends the files correctly but fails at writing them. I'm not sure what the issue is, but it may be because I was on Android 5 (lollipop) and I was trying an older firmware (i.e. older partition table). Currently trying a 5.0 firmware (brazil XT1032!) If anyone has any advice, please let me know! Thanks again!
I have a D800, recently unbricked by shorting pins, and i have managed to install TWRP and download mode is working. I can't run any rom. I need to flash a KDZ through download mode.
But all the KDZ are of 10a/10b etc , does any body know where I can find a 30x KDZ or how to upgrade without flashing numerous FOTAs?
or will my phone boot up if i install http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=13450? i think not, but still need to know.

The AT&T D800 uses a TOT file to flash back to stock. Are you in the right section? If you have a D800 you can use this to go back to KK and it's just one FOTA thru AT&T to go to LP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369
I got the phone from eBay and it has been rooted when it came out of the package. However, I failed to activate it to Sprint. The Sprint customer service representative told me to flash the original stock ROM. The current rooted software version is ZV6. I downloaded the ZV5.tot file and ZV6.img file from this forum, however I don't know how to flash them.
It seems tot file is from LG and the img file is from 3rd party, so I prefer to use tot file. However, someone in this forum said you would brick your device if you flash different version. Maybe to flash img file is safer.
Any helps will be appreciated.
Do not flash that phone with the TOT file. You will hard brick it!! Follow this guide to flash back the stock system.img, but make sure you flash the correct version! You MUST flash version ZV6. Once you flash the stock image, you can reflash with the rooted image. Although I can't see the rooted image keeping you from authenticating with Sprint... seems to work fine for me. But I would give reflashing ZV6 system.img a try. Should work fine. (I have done this process many times with no issues)
This is my 1st LG and it seems as thought everything is Windows Based. If anyone has stock boot.img it would be greatly appreciated.
here they are. they are from the G900TM10j_00_NA2_US_OP_0928.kdz file from lg-firmwares.com. extracted with a python script and firmware exctractor. i dont know if they work, i have android 11 installed. better try first with fastboot boot boot.img before you flash.
