Download it from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=14&file=911
Firmware version: Android 4.4.2
Blur_Version.175.44.1.falcon_cdma.Boost.en.US
Carrier: Boost US
MD5 Sum: 78DEF46FA777AECCC7F7046EF367FBFF
After you download this, please flash the fastboot file using RSD-Lite:
Please download RSD-Lite 6.1.6 from here: https://bitly.com/bundles/johnlgalt/2 and the latest Moto drivers.

Thanks, but it keeps failing at the first step (aboot) which is why I want a flashable version.
Unless you know how to get rid of the "Preflash Validation Failed" error.

Can you show me a screenshot of the error?

No for two reasons:
1. The error is in fastboot mode
2. I don't have a second device to take a picture. I'll try to find the error online.

In this example picture it's from CMD. It produces this error on motoboot, aboot, and fsg.

It looks like it's trying to verify a file and but verfication failed so it will refuse to flash to the device. There is issues with trustzone which prevents the flashing of the tz partition.

But then how can I return it to true stock? I have it on stock but unlocked BL (4.4.4) and I can't find a stock fastboot flash for 4.4.4. I want the BL locked but I can't do that without returning to true stock.

You can flash this file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...o-remove-bootloader-unlocked-warning-t2794104 to get rid of BL unlock warning.

I've done that. But I just want it locked because I'm giving my phone to my nephew for his first phone. I'm getting the N6. He does not know how to root or anything and I don't want to keep it unlocked. He can't access the BL unlock code because it's in my email. He could reapply but he doesn't know how.

As long as he doesn't flash it, the unlocked BL won't be an issue. Try flashing the partitions manually besides the tz partition.

I can't lock it then. I guess it doesn't matter to you, but in the event he decides to try to root it or something all he has to do it flash a recovery. And he's careless. But I guess there's no way to relock it. ?

You can't flash 4.4.2 if you have an up-to-date bootloader.

Downgrade and OTA update risks on osprey

Hi everyone. There are discussion spread on multiple posts about the problems we should have on downgrading from Marshmallow OTA updated. I created this thread in a attempt to centralize this.
Sounds like the previous Moto Gs (2013, 2014) users get a bricked phone when attempting to downgrade from OTA update to factory firmware and re-update it with OTA update again... This is related to the bootloader being modified by the OTA update. Because of this the recommendation for this devices is not to update their phones using OTA update if they want to downgrade someday.
Well, there are some successful reports from osprey (Moto G 2015) users doing this. Users like @drico_649 and @yea55 successful downgraded their phones.
I'm stuck on unlocked bootloader after a failed attempt to root Marshmallow. So, I need to downgrade my OTA updated to Marshmallow.
The obvious way is flash the factory firmware with fastboot and re-update to OTA Marshmallow but this is considered risky.
What are my alternatives?

Ok, I successfully flashed the factory firmware. Working normally!
But I got a unusual message:

It's portuguese:

That is this? I did not answer this.

So you can successfully downgrade the bootloader on your device? or did you skip gpt.bin and bootloader.img

The only thing people need to skip is gpt.bin

If you flash gpt.bin, it will just fail, but it shouldn't cause anything. But for the bootloader, it will be downgraded with no problem at all.

I think you need to have stock recovery.

i tried that many times, it doesnt work.

Stock recovery wont help. Dload just take anything.
you may have flashed any custom ROM I guess? How about trying with B360 version and see the behavior via dload. If you need the files for it, there is one in my signature, 1st link. capture couple of files from it and proceed with dload.

Do you have stock recovery or TWRP now? You may need to flash srock recovery, stock boot, stock cust.img and stock vendor.img via fastboot.

Update failed "Failed to mount '/system' "

Hi,
I just tried to update my P20 from EML-L29 8.1.0.106(C432) to EML-L29 8.1.0.110(C432)-FULL.
My Bootloader is unlocked, the phone is rooted and TWPR is installed.
After the phone has downloaded the update and is rebooting into the recovery I get the following error:
https://ibb.co/hq5hPS

"lightbox_close": "Close",

Is this error normal, beacuse I unlocked the Bootloader of the device and the updater will just be blocked by Huawei or am I doing something wrong?
Is the another methode to update the device?
Thanks for your help

Its because of twrp and root. You need flashable zip.

Will flashing the new firmare result in a factory resett?

You need a zip prepared for twrp flash. I don't think there is any available

It might have changed since I did this the last time (a couple of years ago), but
When running stock firmware, and rooted, I never ever ever applied official updates.
It was doomed to fail. Then.
Today it might be different...?
- I recommend a Return To Stock, by flashing stock firmware. And yes, that will wipe all things on your device.
This is why one always uses backups such as Google Sync etc.
Best of luck m8
Peace ✌??

Question Do you have to unlock the bootloader again after each stock ROM update?

Hi, I have a Poco x3 pro with an old ArrowOS
i want to try an upgraded version of arrowOS or LineageOS but i have to upgrade to stock ROM first,
Will I have t unlock my phone again ?
will it work if i don't remember my old xiaomi/mi account ?
thx

No it will not lock bootloader unless you checked lock bootloader in the flash tool when you flash rom

Your bootloader is already unlocked:
You can use the TWRP/O.F to flash the firmware (recovery rom) or Miflash (choose flash_all.bat) or directly with a fastboot rom.

you're using expression I'm not sure I understand :
> "to flash the firmware (recovery rom)"
do you mean "to flash a Stock ROM" ?
because to me "recovery rom" can be confused with stock recovery / custom recovery
and so, I'm not sure what you want me to flash, the full stock ROM or just the stock recovery.img ?
I'm on android 11 and I want to install LineageOS 19.1 (android 12)
So I will need to install the Full stock ROM android 12 from Xiaomi : MIUI 13
Right ?
"Android 12 firmware" = Full stock ROM MIUI 13, Right ?

You can install the requested firmware if existing or the complete rom.
If only in recovery use the TWRp/O.F, firmware too, if Fastboot uses Miflash
Sometimes the firmware alone does not work, use the rom.
TWRP/O.F

Only if you use Miflash.
Please note that the clean all and lock box is checked by default
