question about bootloader and partition table / size - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys
can someone who knows their stuff answer this for me
is it possible to downgrade the bootloader motoboot.img and also change the partition table/size gpt.bin to the kitkat ones ? (or the ones that come in the kitkat .zip file?)
some places say yes, others no. if its possible can you please provide how to do it.
at the moment ive got kitkat on my moto g 4g, however its still running the lollipop bootloader and parition (gpt.bin, motoboot.img)
obviously if i try to flash those files, i get the error preflash validation failed and they dont get done.
basically in a nut shell i want to go back to the stock kitkat image while also locking the bootloader.

Impossible to use the KK bootloader with LP and MM.

hmm ok. i thought there would be a way to flash it back. anyway what about the partition table/size?

Unlocking Bootloader can sometimes resolve 'preflash validation' errors. However, you don't need the KitKat Bootloader or partition table to run KitKat.

yeah I know, but will having a lollipop partition table cause issues for kitkat? and can you still change the partition table to the kitkat one?
ps I have a unlocked bootloader.

My moto g never received the 4.4.4 update so do you think it will still work? Where could I find the 4.4.4 firmware?
It will work irrespective of whether you received the update or not.

I will have to do this later in the day, my crappy satellite internet is acting up right now
I had this problem and sadly, after trying countless times with different firmwares the only solution I could find is to unlock the bootloader.
Then it stops giving you an error when you try to flash boot.img.
Your mileage may vary, but that is a potential fix, so keep that in mind.

The only way to unlock the bootloader with AIO moto g's is to use Jcases sunshine app and you have to be in the operating system for that

My parents use the same exact phone as me on the same carrier, could I dump the firmware from their phones and then flash it onto mine?
You can take a system image via a nandroid backup and the flash it on your device

hello everybody
my english is not so good, i try to describe and hope you understand what i mean.
ok let´s go
i updated my moto g 2013 (with open bootloader but without root) from original stock 4.4.4. manually to 5.0.2 - Not OTA. i did it with fastboot.
i don´t like 5.0.2 because the phone has to many bugs and it won´t be better. bad 3g and sometimes i don´t have any signal, play store services are shut down very often, can´t open playstore because my account is not available and yesterday all my apps from homescreen were gone......and so on.....
now i want to have 4.4.4 back again and i hope you can help me.
what i have is the original stock 4.4.4 (XT1032_RETAIL-DE_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml)!
in this post, there are only BR, FR, MX, GB Firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/restore-to-kitkat-lollipop-moto-g-t3011553
1. what about my firmware, does it works too with this method?
so, here are so many posts about downgrade/restore..... just give me a link or post a description here or something else with an easy guide please.
more questions i have
2. which is the right description, tools, downgrade for my phone? the link above?
2. i read that after downgrade to 4.4.4 the phone has a kind of line or light on the display, is that right and why the phone get this?
3. what about this here? has it something to do with this display bug or for what is this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54103676&postcount=2
what i have to do with this file? important for downgrade?
4. is it possible to downgrade bootloader too and how?
i know here are many posts about this and don´t be angry to me that i start a new one. a friend recommend this forum and said, here are a lot of good and helpful people.

Did u find a way to revert back to kit Kat?
hey
no, sorry
i´m waiting for the answers
Just flash the 4.4.4 firmware via fastboot, using the following commands:
Code:
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
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
Use only this commands, absolutely DON'T flash gpt.bin and motoboot.bin, or you'll end bricking your device.
mfastboot download link: https://mega.co.nz/#!xgYkgI6I!E4MkiSwCm1AS4qor5xP8QTNeL-BAFZLrV9JDCIlBImM
I have successfully downgraded from 5.0.2 Retail DE to 4.4.4 Retail DE this way. The line glitch is due to a compatibility issue between kitkat kernel and lollipop bootloader, but it isn't so annoying, you only have to lock and unlock your device only once after every reboot. BTW I think that a hard reset will solve most of the problems you've faced on lollipop, I haven't experienced any of the issues you're talking about.
hello and thanks for your answer
why is there a different way for downgrade between yours and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/restore-to-kitkat-lollipop-moto-g-t3011553 ???
whats the different?
and what about the adb drivers. it must be installed first, saw on a video? i don´t need it for downgrade? i have a "minimal adb+fastboot setup.exe"!
what is behind ...... don´t flash gpt.bin and motoboot.bin...?
and i did a hard reset after update to 502, but have still some bugs
sorry for all my questions, i´m a bit careful
The partition layout may be different between KK and LP; therefore, I would recommend flashing gpt.bin.
You won't be able to flash motoboot.bin because your phone probably has the 41.18 bootloader which cannot be downgraded.
When you downgrade to KK, you will see a line running from the top to the bottom of the screen. It looks like it is rippling. Don't worry, this is happening because your are running KK on a LP bootloader. To get rid of the rippling, just lock and unlock the phone using the power button.
If you flash to stock KK and run the OTA update to 5.02, the rippling will go away because you'll be running stock LP on a LP bootloader.
Hello and thanks for answer, but you say its recommend to flash GPT and the other member said DON'T. so two different answers,. What happened if i flash and don't flash???
You can try to install the ROM without flash gpt.bin.
When going from GPE to non-GPE and vice versa, gpt.bin had to be flashed.
Hey audit13
Thanks for answer but i don't understand what you mean. What is gpe ?non gpe? Vice versa? No plan, sorry
Gpe means google play edition and non gpe means non Google play edition
---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------
As there are many threads about downgrading
So Im very much confused
Can anyone help me with the best way
If yes then it will be needfull to me

GPE = Google Play Edition
Non-GPE = Stock ROM
GPE uses the ext4 file system for data.
Non-GPE uses f2fs for data.
Flashing GPT.bin is recommended, in my experience, when going from GPE to non-GPE and vicer versa.

Bootloop, oem, many problems

Hello there,
About year ago I've done an update to 6.0 android. Battery was charged near full and everything seemed okey. But, after update I faced a bootloop. So I tried to flash stock firmware and... failed. Many times. I'm unable to boot into recovery mode. Factory mode also isnt working. So, I tried to unlock my bootloader and flash another image, but when I try to unlock, I get a: "Check allow oem unlock in developer options". Sadly, I cant boot to check this option Is there any way to unlock oem without running android? What can I do? :crying:

How can you flash the /persist partition in a device with a locked bootloader? Doesn't this contain other information as well?
I think the real problem here is either the OP is not using the correct factory firmware image, or incorrect user procedure.

You are probably correct. Even with a locked bootloader, certain partitions can be flashed as long as downgrading is not detected. Example, if I have an xt1548 Moto G3 running on stock 5.1.1 firmware, and I have a locked bootloader, I can flash either an updated 6.0.1 stock firmware package or I can reflash the 5.1.1 firmware with the same build as the one already installed. The bootloader will, however, prevent downgrading. In flashing the /persist partition, the .img being flashed would need to be from an equal or newer build as well.
But again, your statement regarding the correct firmware procedure and/or correct firmware package is likely correct.

You can't flash anything except a bootloader. I was in this situation as MotoJunkie knows and nothing works. I did have a full backup of every partition on the phone and none flashed. Today I bricked it so badly that it doesn't even turn on anymore. My tip is to not mess with the bootloader and stuff and just use the phone normally as many things are encrypted on this phone.

Yes I recall your situation and your hard brick. I'm saying that under normal circumstances you can flash full firmware packages with a locked bootloader, as long as downgrading is not attempted.

You obviously developed corrupt partitions some way or another. I flash stock firmware packages with a locked bootloader on a regular basis. You should always be able to flash the same firmware build that is currently installed on your device.

Good.
What version Android was your phone on before the problem?
Were you on stock (factory) or on custom ROM?
Surely you weren't on Kitkat for almost 3 years?

When you downgrade back to lower stock, you have to omit gpt.bin command. Because you have a newer bootloader.
This is also why you can't take OTA. Because it tries to install a different bootloader (which is probably still older than what you had with custom ROM). If you wanted stock 5.0.2 again, you have to flash full stock image and omit the gpt.bin command.
Are you able to use volume and power button to the bootloader screen?

Before this trouble, were you ever on stock Marshmallow 6.0.1? If so, you can flash back to full firmware of that, but needs to be the very latest. I'll find a link for you.
Also, do you have TWRP installed and did you have a backup you can restore?

OK, then that's the bootloader you were on and will always be on. You need to reflash that latest version (with the security update) to repair. Just reflash the entire full firmware.
There's a link to it here in this forum. I'll find it when I get home, if you don't have it.
Then in the future, if you try to downgrade, you always have to flash full stock version EXCEPT you omit the gpt.bin file. Whether 4.4.4 Kitkat or 5.0.2 Lollipop.
And you can never take OTA.
Because you really have 6.0.1 bootloader.

You can not flash any older gpt.bin files. You have to omit (leave out) that flash command.
Your gpt.bin file is 6.0.1, and you cannot downgrade. Even on 4.4.4, trying to accept the 5.0.2 OTA update is still older gpt.bin file in that OTA than your 6.0.1.

any idea how to recover back without going through flashing all the ROM and everything? is it possible to flash just firmware through fastboot?

Has anyone noticed any improvement with the new radio?
Hello. Has anyone got a link to the latest firmware available for a MI4C. I'm not after the official ROM, just firmware workable with ROMs. I think the last update I done was through andropax link https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=155424 is there a way I can also find out which firmware I have installed I forgot.
Is this the latest > https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890278863836288705
fw_libra_miui_MI4c_V9.5.2.0.NXKCNFA_81f363e363_7.0
& will it run dev ROMs?
