[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.

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.

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?

Great, pal! Really Thank you.
Does anyone know if the last TWRP is capable of unencrypt this 9.0 firmware?
I'm afraid updating to it loses magisk.

I would also recommend that after you flash this with flash all... once it comes up, skip any setup process and just check for / take updates until there are no more. Then do a factory reset from the phone UI after your last update has fully applied (post boot). that will clean you up pretty good. then do your normal setup process after that.

I'm rather new to the x4. Can you elaborate a little bit on flash all? I googled around a little bit and I if I understand it right, flash-all would be a script in the firmware zip file. I don't see one in there, just a flashfile.xml. Am I able to use that somehow? Or should I just use the steps listed at https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/how-to/flash-android-one-firmware-to-unlocked-t3744283 and do the following:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

Yeah, that looks like the one. You would have the script in the folder that you have unzipped your latest stock image to. Be sure that it is either in the tools path or that you have your platform tools as part of your path.

Fix Wifi Wont Turn on

This was done on a XT1900-1 with an unlocked bootloader.
So I had flashed lineage worked good just couldn't get wifi calling working so I flashed AEX. The rom never booted and then when going back to lineage I had no wifi.
After spending hours trying to get wifi working again I finally found a solution.
I installed the latest stock rom for moto --> payton --> retail from here:
moto/payton/official/RETAIL/
I tried no erase modem first but that didn't work so I tried the other and it worked. Direct link:
PAYTON_RETAIL_9.0_PPWS29.69-39-2-1_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
You will also need mfastboot which can be found here.
I installed using the following script.

Also if anyone who knows better than me has any warnings for people doing this please say something.
