Hi everyone, my XT925 is stuck in fastboot, and whenerver I try to flash it everything just fails; RSD shows this when I try to flash:
Failed flashing process. 1/20 flash partition "partition signed" -> Phone returned FAIL
I tried to flash this stock rom: XT925_vffr-user 4.1.2 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQU-26 1359487946
I had already rooted the phone and unlocked the bootloader too, and when I did an OTA update all hell broke loose, the phone now goes directly to fastboot mode, and shows this:
Downgraded secutiry version
Update gpt_main version failed
Failed to hab check for gpt_backup:0x35
failed to load GPT
CID read failure
Invalid CID status 0x69
No SP partition found
Fastboot reason: Invalid GPT
It also says Phone is LOCKED, Status Code:0
I think this means that somehow the bootloader is locked but I have already unlocked it; I don't know what to do, please help
Some Help
Hi, the same thing happened to me when I tried a ROM from a VFR on my LATAM RAZR HD. The OTA messed everything up.
You can check how I solved it on the thread I created asking for help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273574
Basically you need to treat your phone as LOCKED bootloader, meaning only flashing of a version that belongs to the region of your phone and newer or same version as the failed OTA will allow you to flash. Since this is the only way LOCKED bootloader phones will flash.

still cannot flash
I tried to flash this firmware, it's the more recent from telcel: 9.8.2Q-50-XT925_VQLM-21_AmericaMovil_MX_SIGNED_S12_USAVANQUTELMXLA020.0R_VANQJBTELMXLA_P009_A013_S1FF_v2_CFCv2_fb.xml
it didn't work
what can I do????
Is your phone from Telcel Mexico originally?
I ask because on my case it is. The firmware you need to flash has to be the latest one based on your phone region, on my case I flashed the Brasil Retail. Because my phone is from Latin America. So it will depend on were your phone is from. This is all because your phone is acting up as LOCKED bootloader so flashing a version from another region is not possible.
Also because your phone got stuck on an OTA you need to make sure the version you flash is at least the same one as the OTA, newer if possible.

Worked but not completely
Ok, I flashed the rom that you recomended, the phone finally boots into android, but now is always on "emergency calls only" mode, with or without Sim card any suggestions?
Phone should be back as unlocked bootloader
If you flashed a version fine now, I'm sure that at least you should be able to go into fastboot and see your bootloader as unlocked.
If this is true, then you can go ahead and flash any version available, either being an older Stock version (downgrade) or any custom ROM of your liking, like CM 10.1. You should try them and see if you get a proper signal.
Also in your case, if your bootloader is unlocked again, I recommend you installing the version that you know worked fine for you. It won't matter that it's older than the one you flashed right now. It's just a matter of following the guide for unlocked bootloaders to downgrade versions.
Good luck! :fingers-crossed:
Phone almost repaired
Ok, I flashed the latest stock rom from telcel, the phone is no longer on emergency call mode, the wifi and data connection works fine, but it always shows that there is no reception from my carrier, I can't make calls or send sms because when I try it the phone shows "mobile network not available", the funny thing is that I can connect to de data network from my carrier. What can be causing this trouble?
Honestly I have not faced this before it sounds very weird!
I can think of two possibilities, one your phone lost it's IMEI. You should check if it's still there, either by going through configuration and Phone Information or by the "secret code" on the dialer: *#*#4636#*#*
And in the following menu go into Phone Information. The first thing you should see is your IMEI. If it's not there, look for the how to restore your IMEI thread on here. I know it's there somewhere.
The second thing I can think of is to try to force your phone into your carrier, go into Cellular Networks area and manually choose your provider, this could force the registration.
Hopefully this will be of help!

Hello,
I have an xt926 and I tried to take the latest OTA upgrade.
My bootloader was unlocked, and I temporarily un-rooted with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper.
My phone then got stuck in Fastboot with the same errors:
Phone is LOCKED, Status Code:0
Downgraded secutiry version
Update gpt_main version failed
Failed to hab check for gpt_backup:0x35
failed to load GPT
CID read failure
Invalid CID status 0x69
No SP partition found
Fastboot reason: Invalid GPT
I can't get the phone out of fastboot with the error messages.
The Windows Utility returned <remote access failure>
RSD returned <getvar errors>
(I tried deleting the 2 <getvar> lines in the .xml files, but then RSD said phone returned failure "sbl1.mbn".
I downloaded & installed the adb package, and I got the phone to respond to fastboot commands, but it still ended up in Fastboot with the above list of errors.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

replace the files in the tool with the files for your region. delete all the files for the 926 if any are left in there before flashing, so they arent flashed by mistake. also if any of your file names are not exactly the same as the current files inside, you will need to edit the batch file and fix the names.
if you dont want to do all that, you can get Mfastboot and flash your files to the phone manually one at a time starting with the partition file.

I got failed flash process 1/18 flash partition "partition_signed"
Before this, my phone was working fine. Got the kitkat update pushed to me and after update it was working fine. I was using it until my battery ran out so i turned it off. Afterwards, it just got stuck at the motorola logo. I tried to update it with xt926 didn't realize that my phone is xt925. Anyways, i got the bootloader unlocked. Tried the above but failed.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
what did you have on your phone before flashing it the first time? you can try reflash and edit xml before doing that, delete "getvar" line from it.

Originally had my RAZR HD firmware Telstra Australia, having unlocked bootloader I pass Retail Retail France and then to Brazil to upgrade to KitKat, where brick. I you explain how serious the replace files.
I have the Firmware Jelly bean in all regions, but are replaced with files jelly bean? and addresses of the partitions also be accommodated to those that are in the XML file jelly bean?

i dont really understand what you are asking.
you need to figure out which is the most recent partition table you have put on the phone successfully and flash that first. nothing will work correctly until you do. after you get a successful partition flash, you can flash whatever you want, just DO NOT flash the partition file again from any other version. old builds will work on the newer partition table.
Hello,
my Dad has a Nexus 5 from Google Play. The phone wasn't and isn't rooted/unlocked. All updates are installed when they come "over the air" to the phone. So the Lollipop OTA update comes and he let it install on the phone but the update didn't work. During the system check it says "/system/lib/libnfc_nci_jni.so has unexpected contents" and "Status 7" and "Error in /tmp/update.zip". But this could not be. It's all stock and nothing is changed on the phone (no root, unlocked).
So I tried to fastboot sideload the OTA update. But this gives me the same error.
The phone data:
Android-Version: 4.4.4
Baseband: M8974-A-2.0.50.1.16
Kernel: 3.4.0-gd59db4e
Build-Version: KTU84P
I used the "5.0 LRX21O-from-4.4.4 KTU84P" OTA file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/info-nexus-5-ota-help-desk-t2523217
What's wrong? How can this file have been changed without root? Or is the system check wrong? Can I somehow fix this without unlocking the phone (loosing the data would be only the last option if nothing else works)?
Thanks

As per the error, '/system/lib/libnfc_nci_jni.so' isn't the stock file so it's been changed somehow or is corrupt. That or the OTA file is corrupt so double-check the md5 and try again
Thanks for your answer. But how can a file be changed or get corrupt if there is no acccess to it for the user? But let's go this way ... the file is changed or corrupt. How can I fix this?
I read that flashing the 4.4.4 system.img could possibly fix this problem. But flashing a *.img with fastboot works only with a unlocked bootloader.
Would this way work to boot into TWRP with a locked bootloader?
fastboot boot recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/root-unlocking-bootloader-t2820628/page2
So maybe booting into TWRP with this fastboot command and then flashing the 4.4.4 system.img. But I don't know if this will work.
Or is there a way to replace a system file with fastboot or adb when the bootloader is locked?
I won't have access to the phone until monday so I'm collecting all possible solutions.
Hi!
I have some problem for reflash my XT925.
He's unlocked on the bootloader and was rooted. I installed the last official KK ROM (from xda thread about update on KK). But my clock was stuck on the 1st January of 1970 and no way to modify that.
So I wiped the phone with TWRP and after I try to reflash my moto.
And it doesn't work! If i use the file for updating from 4.1.2 to KK, I have ann error with :
Code:
tz file size
And if I use the Retail FR 4.1.2 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQU-22
Code:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
If I delete these two files the flash works but the phone doesn't boot :'(
So I think my partition was corrupted and this is why I can't boot.
So how I can repair that. Some people tried to flash the GPT file from partition_signed file but I don't know where is mine ^^
Regards
No need to repartition system.
Flash the Retail FR 4.1.2 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQU-22 with RSDlite, then look for the OTA update.
If OTA update not available for your ROM, download the Edit.Blur_Version.98.21.22003.XT925.CEE-Retail.en.EU.zip which has the updater script included and flash it through your recovery.

I need to reflash the partition but I was in KK. SO it doesn't want to flash a previous version I think. I need a KK official ROM to re-partition.
how did you install kk over what you had?
At first :
1/ Flash 4.1.2 Upgradable from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/dro...tutorial-make-motorola-razr-hd-xt925-t2916465
2/Upgrade via OTA to KK
3/Bug appeared with the clock and the date (unable to change the date or the clock (i'm not alone https://forums.motorola.com/posts/2b9452ac6b?page=1) )
4/Decided to wipe all for a clean flash
5/Trying to flash with the Retail FR 4.1.2 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQU-22
5/Flash Failed if I keep partition_signed (security downgrade)or tz file(wrong file size)
6/Flash Pass if I delete this lines in the xml but the phone won't start (bootloop)
Is it clear ?
much better Btrax, i can see clearly now
i just had that clock isht stuck in 1970 yesterday man, i did troubleshoot it for an hour or so, but I couldn't get it to adjust itself. In addition, i was doing more stuff even opening the xt 925 physically .
So after all the things i tried, i disconnected the battery to make sure i dont short circuit anything, then tightened up cables .
Rebooted the thing, and it fired right up.
I don't know how comfortable you are with getting into the xt 925, however with guidance, you don't even need to disconnect the screen cables or nothing.
You have two screws in the bottom, then you can just pry it open , and sideloading some plastic tool to disconnect battery and back.
I wish i had a softer solution but , it is what it is man. I ll be glad to help if you go that route.
ps. put link to this post in the link you shared
Since you are in France, there is a new recent OTA KK official update : 180.46.117.XT925.CEE-Retail.en.EU.
If I were you I would go back to Step 1 and 2 and then try to grab this new update.
Seems like it corrects Free Carrier EAP SIM and other Google security issues. Hope it will correct your problem too?

In this update there is just je gpt file and no Tz file. so I need both I think because I flashe the GPT.bin file and after flash the Retail France ROM, but it didn't Work :/
So where i can find the tz file and gpt from canada?
My bootloader is unlocked so i can flash any official ROM
I have a Moto g3 XT1550 Dual sim phone, Recently I tried out Lineage OS. Later I reverted to stock by flashing stock firmware via fastboot.
Now after some call time, signal is lost for both the SIMs(I have dual SIM cards) and call is dropped. After some time signal would be back and the cycle continues.
There is one more weird thing I noticed; While flashing the stock firmware (Yes, I tried flashing a couple of times), when I try to flash
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
It returns error as follows,
Code:

I have an Unlocked bootloader.

Don't know about the signal loss but the error you're getting while flashing is because you're flashing an older firmware on a newer one. The firmware you're flashing must be the same or newer than the one on you're phone for successful flashing.

Thanks for your reply. I have read about this prior to flashing; However, I have read that if the bootloader is unlocked, this error shouldn't occur. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The error will occur even if the bootloader is unlocked. Skip bootloader and gpt.bin files while flashing. The phone should boot up after that.
As the Nougat is rolling out for XT1572 devices, here's the guide for Flashing Stock Firmware using Fastboot for receiving Nougat OTA.
(Inspired by @acejavelin guide)
Prerequisites:
1) USB Drivers (Not needed for Windows 10)
2) Fastboot installed and working.
3) Stock Factory Images for Moto X Style (XT1572): https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto X Style/Stock/XT1572/
Procedure:
1) Open a terminal or command prompt (Shift + Right click) window into the directory that contains the firmware files you extracted above.
2) Reboot the phone in Fastboot Mode (Reboot to Bootloader) and connect the USB Cable.
3) To verify if everything is perfect type in:
Code:
fastboot devices
If it shows your device serial number then you can be sure that it's properly connected.
4) Read the 'Notes' below.
6) Before proceeding, flash this commands to clean up the previous system's mess. This will get rid of the '(bootloader) Preflash validation failed' error when flashing gpt.bin (partition table).
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
5) Here's the actual commands to Flash the Stock Image. Please Enter them One-by-one, Don't create any .bat files or copy and paste the entire section.
Code:
[STRIKE]fastboot getvar max-sparse-size[/STRIKE]
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin (Flash twice, if Prevalidation Error)
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Make sure you read whatever is happening on the prompt, do not miss any errors. (Scroll up the prompt and re-check everything before booting)
Notes:
1) This won't Lock your bootloader but you will be able to get OTA's.
2) For receiving Nougat on RETASIA Dual Sim, download: XT1572_CLARK_RETASIA_DS_6.0_MPHS24.49-18-8_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
There will be a 44mb update already queued when you boot the device. It will update the device to December 2016 Security Patch.
Reboot and you will be able to get Nougat OTA (911mb), if eligible.
3) If you didn't get the OTA Update, Flash this Nougat OTA after updating to December 2016 security patch: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/ota-nph25-200-15-retasiads-t3636765 (Credits: @Sagar_1401)
4) Different firmwares may contain a different number of system.img_sparsechunk.X files, you must flash the number you have in your firmware image in order. From what I have seen, most 5.1.1 firmwares have nine, 6.0 has eight, and 6.0.1 has eleven sparsechunks.
5) You must use a factory firmware image that is the same version as what you have installed or newer to successfully relock the bootloader, you cannot just grab the old (shipped) version from Moto's site. If you attempt to use a firmware image that is older than what you have installed currently, you will receive a Preflash Validation Error indicating such when you attempt to flash the partition table (gpt.bin).
There is no need to do fastboot getvar max-sparse-size, that is just for RSD Lite to check your maximum system chunk size, when doing it manually it does nothing.
Not really sure why this guide is needed, there are already a few out there that are basically identical.
Nice guide @antariksh thanks for this.
i will be flashing from my current version 6.0.1_MPH24.107-58 (seemingly higher version) tomorrow.
will update once i attempt this.
Quick tip if you can't get SafetyNet passed with Magisk V13.1 or V13.2
For Stock Nougat as we don't have boot.img
1) Backup boot with TWRP
2) Restore boot with TWRP
3) Flash Magisk zip
4) Reboot and Install Magisk Manager v5+
This won't get your SafetyNet passed.
5) Open Magisk Manager and once again press 'Download and Install'
This will automatically download and install the latest Magisk and after a reboot your SafetyNet will be passed.

5) You must use a factory firmware image that is the same version as what you have installed or newer to successfully relock the bootloader, you cannot just grab the old (shipped) version from Moto's site. If you attempt to use a firmware image that is older than what you have installed currently, you will receive a Preflash Validation Error indicating such when you attempt to flash the partition table (gpt.bin).

I got 6.0.1 ROM, how do i downgrade to 6.0? I try to flash to 6.0, it's shown message like above
hi guys,
My XT1572, previous rom version 6.0.1_MPH24.107-58-5 and I reflashed to 6.0 MPHS 24.49-18-8 successfully but I can not update December patch security 2016. I attempted to flash Nougat on RETASIA Dual Sim in Recovery but error FingerPrinter. Do I need any tricky ? Thank

You can't go from 6.0.1 to 6.0 completely... Your bootloader and partition table cannot be downgraded and are actually different than on 6.0, they work (meaning 6.0 will boot} but it isn't a match. You cannot take an OTA to 18-16 or any other version because of the mismatch.
The only way to upgrade is go back to 6.0.1 then take the OTA to Nougat.

Thanks a lot!
I go back to 6.0.1 Retapac, with security pack 1-Mar-2016, an now waiting for official Nougat OTA update
So I was on 6.0.1 as well and used the 18-8 firmware to downgrade to 6.0. had the same preflash validation error, i flashed gpt the second time after the error occurred and completed the flash like normal. Everything just worked perfectly fine after that. Got the security update to December and nought!
Edit : I did all of this keeping my bootloader unlocked.

You need to go to 6.0 and not 6.0.1.. The firmware to download is XT1572_CLARK_RETASIA_DS_6.0_MPHS24.49-18-8_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

So have you upgrade to Nougat yet?
I unlocked bootloader already, so could i bypass preflash validatation error as your guide? My phone said "downgrade failured " in bootloader screen logs

Last week I flashed the MPH24.107-58-5 (6.0.1) thinking that this was the latest version. But then I TWRP restored back to my Custom ROM as there was no Nougat OTA.
On this Saturday I was able to flash the MPHS 24.49-18-8 without any issues.
Try flashing the gpt.bin twice and don't try to lock your bootloader.

i didn't see what the bootloader screen logs said, but when you get the error, you have to reflash the same thing again.
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin (Flash twice, if Prevalidation Error)

I have upgraded to Nougat successfully with no problems.

yep, I had to return to XT1572_CLARK_RETASIA_DS_6.0.1_MPHS24.107-58-5_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml although I reflashed XT1572_CLARK_RETASIA_DS_6.0_MPHS24.49-18-8_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml completely on my devices and I was not able to upgrade to December patch. Now, my Android security patch level is September 1,2016. Did we have December 2016 patch for this MPHS24.107-58-5 and Asia DS? @acejavelin

i am not expert in Moto flashing, don't honestly have the patience to wait for the OTA from 6.0.1 to 7.
Was the build MPHS24.107-58 official for ASIA DS in the first place? i see posts on the lenovo forums asking 6.0.1 for Asian version which makes me think there was no official release. i wouldn't expect a OTA update if there was no official release of the 107-58 build in Asia. mine is a Asain version, what version is yours?
hi, guys
What is your Bootloader version, mine is BL: A0.4C for 6.0 Retasia DS. I see 6.0.1 Retasia DS has BL: A0.4A. Which versions is higher? With BL: A0.4C for 6.0 Retasia DS, I cannot flash to 6.0.1 with GPT.bin and Boot.img.
I'm currently on xt 1572 retasia ds MPHS24.49-18-16 but with bootloader unlocked and twrp installed. Can someone guide me to the December 2016 file so that I can restore to stock or the nougat file so that I can directly update my phone through fastboot method. Thanks in advance.

We don't have either... The best you can do is hope someone can do a TWRP backup of recovery you can restore, it needs to be the same variant and version.

Confuse now. As you said, 6.0.1 build 107-58 is not official release, so maybe not receive OTA Nougat?
My version is Asian - retapac, 6.0.1 - build 107-58 with security patch 1-Mar-2016. It's unable to downgrade to any stock 6.0, as preflash error.
