[Q] Downgrade from GPE to 4.3

Someone can help me downgrading my MOTO G with unlocked bootloader from GPE to stock 4.3.
I've been trying but I get "Image is too large" when I try to flash "system.img".
I want to downgrade to stock 4.3 Claro Argentina firmware.
Please, I really need your help!

Could be two things:
1. You may need to flash gpt.bin from 4.3 (included in official 4.3 download) as this will create a new correctly sized partition table.
2. Make sure you use motorola fastboot to flash (known as mfastboot) and not the Google fastboot.

Not a problem. Download http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=14&file=124
And follow:
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin #if this fails, ignore it and carry on
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot

I have same problem too...any firmware I flash I get those " image is too big " errors and when I restart I am stuck at bootloader? any ideas?

Unfortunately i'm in the same boat, stuck at boot. Flashing different zips doenst seem to help. I think the partition has changed since the 4.4.4 OTA from 4.4.2 on the GPE. It's impossible to flash a different rom at the moment. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.

Yes ...I read the same thing in several places...it has to do something with that gpe firmwares partition.....anyone have any idea how to fix this please?

same problem here. I was able to fix my phone partially with
1, factory reset in recovery (twrp)
2, adb Cyanogen rom
3, fixing reception with
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
using gpe 4,4 fsg

Can you explain that in "noob language " please ? ...did you managed to flash official firmware after that?

Is fastboot mode available? If yes then you could just either 'dd' them or flash via fastboot, starting with sys partition. Don't touch the efs.

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.
The same way as here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/guide-flashing-stock-firmware-t3637235
Don't copy&paste; read, think & retype, download newest 6.x.x for your model, check how many sparsechunks it has(9,10,12?). @Lethal_1

Before you do anything, read about the fastboot program on the XDA forum. There is no root or unlocked bootloader required.

Which Baseband does this come with? Currently on M8936_2020632.44.03.21.57R and wondering if worth updating baseband only (currently using LOS 14.1 as ROM). Cheers

OK thanks for the info, tried the above commands (twice now) and under phone status the baseband version hasn't updated, the fastboot commands executed OK. Any ideas? Has it updated just not the references to the version?

Hello! I'm facing huge trouble with fastboot. Can someone have a Flashable Zip or a twrp backup of this OTA? :crying: thx a lot

Android Pay requires a blocked bootloader. In LIneageos or another custom rom, the Magisk program hides Root and the unlocked bootloader.
Install the Magisk program on a stock android
Or
You are blocking the bootloader

This is not the OTA, it can't be sideloaded. You have to flash this through fastboot (and you need a unlocked bootloader to do so)

It appears that the image does not have number of files mentioned in the flash_rom.bat. Is that intentional?
E.g. :
Code:
I:\tmp\g6>fastboot flash system_b system_b.img_sparsechunk.0
error: cannot load 'system_b.img_sparsechunk.0'
I:\tmp\g6>fastboot flash system_b system_b.img_sparsechunk.1
error: cannot load 'system_b.img_sparsechunk.1'
...
I:\tmp\g6>fastboot flash oem_b oem_other.img
error: cannot load 'oem_other.img'

Can someone tell me how I can do a pull of the recovery files for the Moto G6? My G6 is running OPS27.104-15-10 which looks to be newer than the firmware posted in this thread. I can upload my pull once I can figure out how to pull it. Thanks.

The file ends in rar so using unzip will not work (unless you have an unzip program that handles rar files too) use unrar. The password does work.
